Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"It looks like there is an option to change the lead singer."

Kita-chan knew that there was no way Goto-san would be brave enough to take on the role of lead vocalist, so he chuckled without feeling any pressure.

"Xiao Xiduo seems to be very happy today..." She said confidently after putting down the microphone.

"Really? Is it really that obvious?" Blushing little Kita looked in the mirror and felt no different from usual.

"Of course, you've been looking at your phone all day, and you've been making strange laughter. Even if it's me..." Pochi-chan, thinking elsewhere, blurted out, "Could it be that Kita-chan, you're in love!"

"Hey, why do you have such an idea?"

Kita Ikuyo's face turned red as she felt that what was said was true to some extent.

"Because the symptoms are very similar to those of a couple in love, could it be that she has really found a boyfriend?"

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Pochi-chan asked in disbelief.

"Well, probably."

"Who is the other person, what job does he do, is he handsome, do we know him?" Pochi-chan, who usually looks energy-saving, bursts out with unimaginable energy when it comes to matters related to the feelings of high school students.

"Also, Kita-chan, you actually betrayed our Singles Alliance!"

After her attack, Xiao Xiduo, who was already hot-headed, covered his forehead with his hands, looking quite helpless.

"When exactly did we have the Singles League? How come I didn't know about it? Also, his identity needs to be kept secret, and a lot of information can't be revealed."

Even if it was just a simple message, given the familiarity between them, Pochi-chan might be able to catch some similar points.

Xiao Xiduo was concerned and decided to hide all the information.

"What a mysterious look!"

The more this happened, the more interested Pochi seemed to be. When Xiao Kita was chatting openly on his phone, she even planned to peek at the other person's Line account.

The result was that he was discovered and retreated under the stern gaze.

"Phew, I was scared to death."

"?" Ito Rin put down the game console in her hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. When will you come back to Tokyo? I miss you."

When a straightforward person asks questions, people won't even be able to find an excuse to evade the question.

If Lai Aojiao were to ask the same question, she would definitely talk about something else, either about how beautiful the scenery in Tokyo is, or about starting to review next semester's homework.

In short, I will never throw the problem out directly.

The loud sound of parents killing fish outside the house could be heard inside. Ito Rin opened the window and the sky gradually darkened.

According to the original plan, he would stay at home for about ten days and would return to Tokyo when school was about to start.

"How much do you think?"

"How can I describe this kind of thing in words? Anyway, I just miss Rin very much." Kita Ikuyo responded vaguely.

"I'll think about it carefully, and maybe go back earlier than expected."

Ito Rin did not tell Yamada Ryo about the news, intending to give her a surprise.

Kita Ikuyo made a victory gesture, and the curiosity in Pochi-chan's eyes almost solidified into a physical entity.

"How does it feel to be in love?"

Kita Ikuyo, who was asked about this knowledge for the first time, acted like a reserved lady.

After Pochi-chan's continuous questioning, she finally spoke with a high-end aura.

"It's very comfortable. I can share everything with someone, and I can have someone to lean on when I'm tired. More importantly, the love we have for each other can be conveyed to the other person's heart."

The touching words were automatically replaced by corny love talk in Pochi-chan's ears, and she, a veteran of the FFF group, shuddered.

"So have you ever done it?"

Kita Ikuyo crossed her arms and said, "Don't ask such questions, little kid."

"But we are in the same grade, even the same age."

Unable to refute the facts, she could only pretend to be mentally mature to suppress Pochi-chan.

As a result, she found the gap and realized the standard of maturity.

"Xiao Xiduo is not only mentally mature~"

"Damn it, you dare to laugh at me, wait and see how I deal with you!"

The girls were making such a fuss in this small private room that they even forgot the purpose of their visit.

Ito's mother was busy for half the afternoon, and when it was completely dark, the fish was stewed to the right degree and ready to be taken out of the pot.

After preparing dinner, the mother, wearing an apron, did not stop and continued to prepare the New Year's dishes that would be used in the next few days.

"When are you planning to go back?" The two men sat in the yard, waiting for their families to have dinner together.

"Stay a few more days after the New Year. There are still many things to deal with in Tokyo."

Ito's father nodded silently and had no objection to his return.

"I heard you were in a band in Tokyo or something, but I never saw you practice an instrument when you were a kid."

"I'm a smart person. Even if I'm cramming at the last minute, I can still surpass the limits of ordinary people."

His arrogant words made my mother laugh triumphantly.

"It's all my fault. I told you long ago that if I hadn't married you, I would have become a musician."

Ito Rin looked at his father and exposed the lie in a low voice.

"I joined the school's music club when I was in high school, but I only stayed there for one year. I was kicked out because I didn't learn anything."

"high school?"

"There used to be a high school not far from the village, but it closed down because it couldn't recruit any students. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you go to Tokyo to study alone."

Ito Rin nodded in understanding. It seems that not only in anime, but even in real life, the scenes of closing and merging schools are endless.

What's even more cruel is that in reality, if the school is closed, there will be no protagonist to save the situation, and the original students can only accept the reality that the school does not exist.

Except for the holy place Fengxiang Elementary School.

It was originally supposed to be abolished, but because it was the prototype of the Private Sakuragaoka Girls' High School in "K-ON!", it was finally preserved.

It cannot be said that the entire credit is due to anime, but the continuous influx of anime fans who make pilgrimages to the holy land still plays a significant role in business.

“Tokyo is pretty good too.”

Ito's father looked at him and laughed: "It seems that you are very satisfied with your relationship, then I feel relieved."

"I have always been able to accept reality better."

It must have been too cold outside, so he didn't stay any longer and walked towards the house.

The back figure in the dark night is tall and straight yet a little desolate.

"By the way, Dad." Ito Rin shouted to him, and he stopped walking: "Happy New Year in advance."

"There's no need for that between us."

In any case, not long after the New Year, Ito Rin left Akita much earlier than expected.

Chapter 74: A Little Surprise at the Amusement Park

The island nation has many New Year traditions, but most of them have been passed down to the modern era and have changed, especially in cities, where the flavor of the New Year is becoming increasingly weak.

On the contrary, in the village, Ito Rin felt a more authentic New Year's festival.

After eating New Year's soba noodles and visiting a shrine near the village, Ito Rin packed up and prepared to return to Tokyo.

The experience of visiting the shrine also made him understand a simple truth: the staff wearing shrine maiden costumes only exist in anime.

He had waited so long in vain, but in the end it was just an ordinary kimono, with brighter colors.

After saying goodbye to her reluctant mother and promising to come back next summer vacation, Ito Rin got on the three-wheeled motorcycle of the uncle next door.

The nearest station is seven or eight kilometers away from the village, so villagers usually travel in groups.

It can be said that he is blessed to receive such a gift from someone.

The uncle was not going to a big city. He just wanted to ride a tricycle to transport goods between several neighboring towns. So when he was halfway there, Ito Rin, who was no longer on the way, said goodbye to him with her box.

"Bon Voyage!"

The path ahead is not too cluttered due to the coming and going of travelers. The grass along the way has already started to turn green. It will probably return to its green appearance when winter is over.

Pulling the suitcase and walking on the dirt road with difficulty, Ito Rin took out her cell phone and took pictures of the station not far away.

In terms of appearance, the station has no modern feel at all. The platform shell is shabby and mottled, and the waiting chairs look like they have a long history. It is so small that people may mistake it for a bus stop.

But it is indeed the most convenient channel for several nearby villages to communicate with the outside world. Although only the slowest trains travel back and forth, for most people in the village, this is enough.

After sending the photo to Kita, who had been waiting for him to return, Ito Rin sat on a chair and began to wait for the train that would appear in half an hour.

"Are you coming back?"

As if seeing the girl's joyful expression, a smile appeared on his lips.

"It should be here in the morning."

"Well, it's still at that station, right?"

The conversation between the two was tacit. After chatting for a few words, a loud whistle sounded in the distance.

There were not many people on the bus. After finding a seat and putting his luggage away, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep through the boring journey.

The distance was not far, but it took him three hours to get there, which made him, who had gotten up early, unable to muster the energy to do anything else.

……

Three hours later.

The alarm clock kept beeping. Ito Rin opened her eyes and found that people were already getting on the bus.

After checking the time and the stop, Ito Rin broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly picked up her luggage and went against the crowd, getting off the bus before the gate closed.

I almost missed my stop.

The Tokyo station was as busy as ever, giving Ito Rin, who had just experienced a rural station, the illusion of being in another world.

Next to a pillar not far from the exit, Xiao Kita was leaning against it, looking at her phone boredly. The time was getting close to Ito Rinsho's time, but she still didn't see Ito Rin come out.

When she couldn't help but send a message to ask where she was, Ito Rin walked up to her and said jokingly.

"If you wait for someone like this, it will definitely be difficult to wait."

Hiding the time of return from Liangjiang was not only to give him a surprise, but also to make time for him to be with Xiao Xiduo.

"Aren't we waiting for you?" Tilting his head, Xiao Xiduo wanted to take his luggage.

“You can’t keep thinking like this.”

They will be left undisturbed this afternoon, and in order to avoid any mistakes, Ito Rin doesn't even plan to go home.

Otherwise, if any of the Ichichi sisters saw him, he would be exposed.

"It's not too late to say such things when you make a mistake. Where are you going?"

As I dragged my luggage out of the station, the crowds on the road became even denser.

It seems that the New Year in the city, while losing its traditional customs, still retains its function as a holiday, making the metropolis of Tokyo extremely lively.

"It doesn't matter where we go. Before that, I still want to find a place to have a good meal."

By noon, it was indeed time to eat, and the two hit it off immediately. However, they were worried about meeting familiar people nearby, so they decided to take the train to eat in the not-too-distant Shinjuku area.

I haven’t had the chance to eat out for more than 20 days, and after trying again, there were still some small surprises.

"Oh, by the way, we are going to visit the shrine in a few days. Should we show up?" Xiao Kita remembered the action they had discussed a few days ago.

"Going to the shrine again." Ito Rin replied subconsciously.
