For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"If Mochizuki knows my sister, you should know that there is a 12-year age difference between my sister and me, so we often quarrel because of our different values.

At that time, no matter what my sister did, I would follow her, so she later laughed at me and said I was a follower, but I just liked my sister, so I wanted to follow her all day long, see the scenery she encountered, and want to know what interesting things happened around my sister. Although my sister probably just thought I was troublesome at the time. "

"Because at that time, Xingge always believed that friends were better than family, and live houses were better than home. She put all her thoughts into the band and wanted to spend the whole day in the band."

Wang Yueshuo complained.

The sincere smile and grumpy pout on the girl's face reminded Mochizuki Shuo of the silly Xingge sister a few years ago who had shoulder-length hair, was obsessed with bands, and was stubborn.

"Ahaha, that's right. At that time, my sister thought that as long as she had the band, her friends, and her dreams in her world, that was enough." Hongxia recalled the Ichichi Hoshika who was impatient in front of her family but smiled when facing the band and her friends. Her shoulders rose and fell, and her breathing became a little disordered:

"When I was little, I thought that the band had taken my sister away from me, so every time my sister invited us to her live house, I would resist and deliberately go against her. And at that time, my dream was to become a civil servant and live a stable life."

"When I'm angry and unhappy, my mother always comes to comfort me, saying that although friends are important, time with family is also important, and I shouldn't resent my sister, because she thinks that I who want to live a stable life and my sister who wants to pursue the dream of being a band are equally shining and equally worthy of her happiness and pride."

Hong Xia wiped her red eyes, her voice a little hoarse.

"Later... you know what happened later. My mom passed away in a rear-end collision. My dad was always busy with work and not at home. My sister was the only family member around me. And my sister formed a band with someone. I was the only one left at home. I was very scared, so I didn't want to go anywhere. I just wanted to stay at home, because only at home could I feel that my mom was still by my side."

"After that, my sister took over my mother's role and helped me tie my hair, even though she used the ribbons on snack boxes. She was afraid that I would be lonely, so she often took me with her when she went to the performance hall.

In my opinion, everything in the showroom was so dazzling and it was a very happy space. Seeing my fascination, my sister soon quit the band and opened the showroom. In fact, STARRY was a place my sister created for me, but she would never say it.

“Dreams will turn into light and illuminate your way forward in your difficult times.”

When Hong Xia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth lifted up, revealing a dazzling smile on her face. She retracted her gaze, and her eyes became extremely serious and determined:

"So, my dream is to help my sister realize her wish, become a popular band, and then make Fanxing even more famous!"

"But after I actually formed a band, I sometimes doubted my dreams and thought they were just pipe dreams. Just like today, everyone lost confidence. And every time, it was Pochi-chan and Mochizuki-san who helped me overcome adversity."

"Today's Ichiri is a true hero in my eyes! So, I won't blame Pochi and you."

"Also, in my dream, you are all indispensable! So, the more powerful you are, the better. This way, my dream will become more and more visible and no longer a distant dream."

"Please, Mochizuki-san, please help me realize my dream."

Wang Yueshuo wanted to raise his hands to cover his eyes, but his left hand was held firmly by the girl. The dim light flickered in his eyes, and he vaguely saw his past self again, the boy who stood under the spotlight and played the music to his heart's content, smiling faintly at him and waving goodbye.

Mochizuki Saku took a deep breath, feeling the unyielding enthusiasm in the girl's eyes and his own rapidly beating heart, and spoke earnestly:

"Then... I'll come and lend you a hand, Hong Xia-san."

I don’t have a dream, but I can protect the dreams of others.

Maybe in this way, my second chance at life will be more meaningful?

"Great!"

Yidizhi Hongxia excitedly shook Wang Yueshuo's arm, and the high golden ponytail on the side of her shoulder swayed, leaving beautiful traces in the air.

"Look, I've told you so much about me. It would seem too strange if we continue to call each other classmates, right?" Hong Xia suddenly turned her head and considered seriously.

"That's it. I'll call you Shuo-kun and you call me Hong-xia. How about that?"

"Of course, you can call me whatever you want."

"Huh, Shuo-kun is such a casual person."

Hongxia pouted her lips, as if she was not very satisfied with Wang Yueshuo's answer. She sighed briefly, and after a few seconds she suddenly smiled, raised her arms high, and waved towards the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Mom, my dream will definitely come true, right?"

Sitting in the barbecue restaurant, Ijichi Hoshika glanced at Kita and Ichiri who were slumped in their seats, and then she and Hongxia who were outside the house looked at the starry sky outside the window at the same time. The corners of her lips curled up in a slight arc, as if she was smiling, indeed she was smiling.

"Be the best sisters in the world! That's all mommy asks."

"Mom, I will keep my promise to you."

The woman clenched her fists silently and muttered softly.

Chapter 71: The Moonlight Does Not Know Her Peace and Brightness

Wang Yueshuo chuckled, took the hand that Yidizhi Hongxia extended to him, and stood up. The thin and skinny girl's eyes were shining with the endless starry sky, which was the brilliance that he had never had in his new life.

"You came into my life like a star, and in the corner of your eyes, I saw a dream that never died."

A girl with dreams accidentally broke into the dull life of a man without dreams. The tip of the iceberg she showed him made the hesitant man without dreams want to open his eyes and see what kind of brilliant future she described.

The incandescent lamp above his head emitted an unclear light, like a spreading mist, filling the boy's surroundings. The moonlight at night covered him with a mysterious veil. At this moment, Ichichi Hongxia felt for the first time that she had glimpsed into the boy's heart, and a soft and warm feeling came from their connected palms.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Wang Yueshuo glanced at Hong Xia's hand that was still not let go and asked softly.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk at night. I haven't tried it yet."

After the chat, Ichichi Hongxia, who had vented her emotions, turned back into the lively and cheerful little girl and gladly accepted his invitation.

"Sister Xingge won't let me?"

"No, don't you think it's lonely to go out alone at night just for a walk?"

Hongxia shook her head and asked back.

"Ah, it seems that it is a bit..."

Wang Yueshuo stroked his chin, thinking: "By the way, tell Liang and Xingge sister so that they won't worry."

"No problem~ I've already sent a message to my sister. Let's go, it's getting late, and we have to get back before the celebration party is over."

Classmate Hongxia quickly edited the message and sent it to her elder sister, then ran behind Mochizuki Saku and pushed him forward. Her anxious look was so adorable.

"Let's go, then, for a night adventure with no main plot, no purpose, and nothing to lose." Mochizuki Saku threw the empty can of Coke into the trash can, then let the girl pull his sleeves as he skipped towards the neon-lit streets in the distance.

In the quiet and deserted alley, raindrops fell from the eaves, making a continuous and pleasant sound of dripping. As they walked away, the smell of alcohol gradually dissipated in the cool evening breeze.

.......

But at this time, Yuta Hashitani was not as leisurely as the other two. He didn't even have time to go home. He hung his wet casual suit on his arm, put on a white shirt, and ran to the teacher's office in a hurry without stopping.

Ibuki Yosuke, with gray hair on his temples, was sitting on a soft sofa, teaching the cockatiel in front of the table everything he knew, talking about the origin and evolution of music and the European romantic music of the 19th century. He wished he could hear Chopin's simple, beautiful and poetic Nocturne in E flat major from its mouth in the next second.

Hearing the rude sound of the door being pushed open, Ibuki Yosuke raised his head in dissatisfaction, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, frowned and scolded:

"You've been with me for so many years, but I haven't taught you to knock on the door and move slowly and gently?!"

"I'm... sorry... teacher, it's just that... I have something very important to show you." Yuta Hashitani quickly bowed and apologized, breathing heavily, and carefully placed his mobile phone on the sandalwood table, and carefully played the live video of the filming of "That Band".

"Rock music, is this all you want me to listen to?" Ibuki Yosuke asked in confusion while listening to the prelude of the song.

"No! Mr. Ibuki, you should focus your performance on this keyboard player and listen to the sound he makes!" Yuta reminded.

"Keyboard player..."

Ibuki Yosuke soon saw the pair of fingers landing on the piano keys. A clear melody overflowed from the boy's fingertips. The rhythm of broken chords and column chords, through the piano's complex chromatic scale, made the slightly dark piano tone float in the air.

The powerful piano sound like a heartbeat kept echoing, as if fingers carrying a hurricane and heavy rain slid onto the keyboard. The extremely gorgeous and shining riffs followed like a shadow, and the infectious piano sound made him devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

The song slowly comes to an end as time goes by.

Mr. Ibuki adjusted his glasses, glanced at the student who was standing obediently at the table waiting for evaluation, and smiled, "I see." "Do you want to actively recruit him?" After saying that, he pointed to the young boy in the corner who was smiling at his teammates.

"Yes, teacher! I think this young man has a great future in the piano field!" Yuta Hashitani nodded solemnly.

"He is indeed amazing. There are not many children of this age who have such piano skills, and compared to them, this child is also very outstanding." Ibuki Yosuke commented.

"Then, teacher..." Yuta Hashitani's eyes lit up and he raised his eyes with hope.

"How old is he?"

"do not know."

"...Which college does he attend?"

“Um, I don’t know about that either.”

"???"

Ibuki Yosuke opened his eyes wide in surprise, obviously shocked by the student's self-righteous attitude. After a long while, he stretched out his iron fist and hit Yuta-kun's head hard, and asked with a smile: "Don't you know any information about him?"

"I didn't have the time to ask, and... as soon as he stepped down from the stage, a bunch of pretty girls surrounded him, and I didn't even have a chance to interact with them, haha..." The young man laughed dryly.

"A man who is not romantic when young will live in vain. Don't think I don't know that you were also a playboy who attracted many men and roamed among the noble ladies in your past." The old man glanced at his student with a smile on his face.

"Oh...teacher, you're joking. Whenever I think back to those ugly things that happened back then, I feel guilty. Now I'm not interested in these love affairs at all!" Yuta Hashitani coughed twice and patted his chest awkwardly to assure.

"Oh?" Mr. Ibuki squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Then could it be that the girl who ran to your dormitory last week just wanted to discuss the mysteries of the piano with you, so she didn't come back all night?"

"What...what!? Teacher, how did you know!" Yuta Hashitani was shocked.

"Haha... In the history of music, there are countless romantic musicians. One more or one less wouldn't make much. Why bother pretending to be so great and glorious? It would only make you more hypocritical." Ibuki Yosuke returned the phone to the student and chuckled twice.

"Even if you want to extend an olive branch, you have to know if he is really worthy of this opportunity. First, check his personal information and then have a detailed discussion."

The old man put an end to the matter with just two sentences. He put his hands behind his back and looked out the window. Where the wind blew, cherry blossoms fell in the rain, and half of the world seemed to be smudged with pink and white ink, full of charm.

“Life is like falling cherry blossoms…”

Chapter 72 Fans Tea Party

"Everyone in the light music club! Can we hold a tea party for the members of the fan club?" Manabe Kazumoto said pleadingly, sitting quietly in a chair.

"Tea party? Don't we have it every day..." Hirasawa Yui blurted out.

"It's the kind that's opened specially for Mio-chan's fans, not your private kind," Manabe said with a bit of amusement, looking at Dai Wei, and added:

"It would be unfair to the fan club if it continues like this."

"I know. We will help you too! We are professionals when it comes to making tea!"

Hirasawa Yui was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, she raised her head proudly, and her slightly undulating body was clapped by her, indicating that our light music club is not only good at music, we are also professional at making tea!

"what?"

"Because I have always received help from Kazu!" Tianzhong Ritsu was also excited.

"Since this has been decided, what kind of tea party should we hold?" Miss Kotobuki was already thinking about the type of tea party.

"Huh, even Tsumugi is like this?" Mio was at a loss.

"Well, first of all, let's make a grand entrance, and we can't miss the cake cutting!"

"There are also flowers and memory albums and things like that."

Hirasawa Yui and Tiananaka Ritsu used their brains and offered suggestions.

"....Are you planning a disclosure party?" Akiyama Mio covered her forehead and complained speechlessly.

(Japanese wedding customs. After the Japanese wedding ceremony, a wedding reception is held immediately, also known as the "disclosure banquet")

"In that case, we can add a question-and-answer session, right?!"

"Very good! Wei-chan's idea is very interesting~" Captain Lu was in high spirits, with a barely noticeable smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the name of the tea party?"

"Mio-chan's fan tea party, let's call it Mio Tea Party, it's easy to understand, concise and clear."

"I say, calm down, everyone!!!"

Akiyama Mio was almost so angry at these restless girls that she slammed the table. She snatched the schedule they had written down with a frown on her face, and just after taking a look at it, she almost fainted.

Arrange Mio-chan merchandise (Music Room)

Mio-chan's entrance (special service)

Tsumugi's cake (very delicious!)

Candle service (candlelight dinner?)

......

You guys, why are you always so full of fighting spirit in these weird places? Akiyama Mio rolled her eyes, lay listlessly on the table, smelling the mellow aroma of black tea, squinting her eyes, and sighed.

"Then we'll just obey your orders. I'll leave the contents of the tea party to you all." Manabe clasped his hands together in surprise and smiled with relief: "I'll be responsible for booking the venue and making contacts."

"I'll make the poster~" Nakano Azusa, who had not been able to get a word in, bravely raised her arms.

"I brought a super big cake~" There were interesting stars twinkling in Kotobuki Tsumugi's big eyes.

"Tsumugi! You've gone too far. It doesn't need such a big one..." Akiyama Mio felt dizzy. Who knows what size the super-large cake you thought it would be? She didn't dare to think about it.

"Hey! He He, doesn't the vice president have any tasks to do?" Tian Zhongli revealed his true intentions.
