Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

An atmosphere of ambiguity and tacit understanding flowed between the two of them. If they were seen by strangers at this moment, they would probably be able to tell at a glance that they were a couple.

On the eve of Valentine's Day, their secret way of showing affection made Hong Xia shiver all over, and she couldn't help but want to interrupt them.

However, the one who reacted more violently than her was Xiao Xiduo.

"Senior, where is the six-string bass I used before? Did you take good care of it?" Xiao Xiduo interrupted the ambiguity between them with a smile on his face.

“Oh, here it is.”

The slow-witted Yamada Ryo didn't notice anything wrong and just thought that Kita missed his first musical instrument.

It's just a shame.

How long she keeps her regular instruments often depends on when she sets her sights on a new instrument and how tight her finances are.

Yamada Ryo falls in love with new musical instruments very quickly, but it is often the case that he is short of money.

So her six-string bass had long been replaced with a new instrument, but it didn’t matter, she could just use the new instrument she got in exchange for the bass to get the job done!

"Hey, this doesn't seem to be the case..."

Although Xiao Kita is not very proficient in playing musical instruments, he is still able to perform simple string counting.

This thing is definitely an authentic four-string bass!

"It has become like this." Yamada Ryo said the cruel reality.

While Xiao Kita was still immersed in the fact that his six-string bass had been sold, Hongxia had already remembered that she had been delaying the submission of her manuscript.

"Ah...is the song finished?"

"That's right..."

Ito Rin looked at her wanting to take it away but feeling disgusted, and wanted to laugh out loud. It was a good habit to have such firm determination when it came to things that she cared about.

When Xiao Kita saw the song file on the tablet on the table and was about to play a song, Yamada Ryo snatched the tablet away swiftly, and then he dodged their hands nimbly.

"Are you so shy?" Ito Rin put down his hand breathlessly. He didn't expect that he couldn't even snatch her away.

The even more curious little Kita had already fallen to the floor, begging Yamada Ryo to sing.

"Why do you have to hide it..."

Yamada Ryo, who was usually fearless, rarely showed the attitude of a little girl. She turned her face to the empty side, leaving only the side of her face to them, and spoke in a low voice.

"I just finished it, and it feels... very subtle... I don't want you to hear it yet."

"The music I made hasn't reached the level I had before. This won't work."

She has her own pride, so how could the work she submits for the competition be worse than her previous level?

Besides, Pochi-chan's lyrics have always been at a pretty good level, and I'd be unhappy if she fell behind.

"That's absolutely not true." Xiao Kita felt both guilty and admired Yamada Ryo, so the degree of her flattery increased instead of decreased. She clenched her hands and looked at Yamada Ryo.

"The songs made by seniors are always so great! They are everyone's favorite no matter what!"

Whether it is everyone's favorite or Kita's favorite, Ito Rin is kept in the dark for the time being.

But he was also surprised at the extent of Yamada Ryo's resistance.

Her symptoms were more serious than she had imagined.

"Even if there are some things you are not satisfied with, you can release them and we will help you find the problem." Ito Rin suggested.

"No." She refused without hesitation.

"A boring song like this will never pass the censorship, and there's no way it will change if you listen to it."

Her deep eyes concealed all her emotions, and she stubbornly refused to let anyone in.

"I will write a better song, please rest assured."

"boom!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Ito Rin knocked her on the head and ignored her angry look.

"You are treating us as dead."

"Did you quit the band at some point, Ryo-chan, or are you so strong that you don't need other people's opinions?"

She touched her head and opened her mouth to refute, but when she saw Ito Rin, she immediately lost her confidence.

She couldn't even express her proud musical knowledge in front of him. Even if Hongxia and the others gave up, Ito Rin would definitely stay.

"never mind……"

"clang!"

Pochi-chan took out a guitar from somewhere, placed a piece of paper covered with musical notes in front of her, and started playing the guitar with great concentration.

When Yamada Ryo heard this rhythm, he covered his ears in despair, as if he wanted to burrow into the ground.

These are the traces left on paper when she was composing at home. She would inevitably feel ashamed when her unsatisfactory work was played by others.

When Ichichi Hongxia saw this, a smile appeared on her face, and she also found the results of Liang on the ground.

However, she really didn't have the ability of an extra-dimensional pocket, and Liang's room was not large enough to place a drum set, so she had to take two drumsticks and pretend to play.

Kita-chan took the guitar down from the wall and played it to the rhythm of Pochi-chan, while Ito Rin patted Ryo's head.

With her confused look in her eyes, he handed her the bass.

"How can we finish the band's ensemble without a bassist?" Ito Rin added gently: "Although I don't feel any difference, we both need you."

"...Man, give me back my feelings!"

Chapter 87: Aunt, leave it to me!

After the ensemble started by Pochi-chan and completed by everyone else ended, the room fell silent for a moment.

Pochi-chan, who rarely takes the lead, has tears gleaming in the corners of her eyes. She looks at Yamada Ryo and says cautiously, "Ah... Ryo-senpai..."

"Don't you think the song just now is pretty good?"

All along, Yamada Ryo's criteria for judging a song mostly came from the rhythm of the bass. She didn't have the energy or interest to find someone to play with her to determine the quality of the song.

Now, with the cooperation of the band, the effect of playing the song that was once judged to be mediocre is indeed beyond her imagination.

"……Um."

Holding the bass, she nodded calmly, having found the place for optimization.

"So didn't I tell you that the songs of our seniors are always the best!"

The happiest person in the audience should be the always cheerful little Kita, "Let's play together again!"

Yamada Ryo quickly shook his head to refuse. Inspiration that comes quickly should be used immediately. If you do it again, maybe you will get a different result.

"Also, this guitar costs 40 yen, so be careful not to damage it."

Pointing at the guitar in Kita's arms, Yamada Ryo stated the facts.

Just by doing this, Xiao Xiduo's eyes became empty with fear: "I'm so sorry for moving without your permission..."

When Yamada Ryo was called over by others to discuss something, Kita, who was intimidated by this aura, hugged Pochi-chan and vented his emotions.

"Wow wow wow, Xiaodu, I'm so scared that my whole body is frozen."

Ito Rin found it funny. It seemed that Kita's courage remained the same.

I thought that someone who was so bold in front of him would still be able to face Liang Jiang bravely.

What a disappointment for him.

"Stay here later and help me revise the song." Yamada Ryo poked Ito Rin. This time she finally chose to bring in help to work with her.

"That's no problem, but we can't fall behind in our studies, and the festival is coming soon. I feel like time is very tight." Ito Rin said, touching his nose.

"Holiday, what holiday?"

Her expression didn't seem fake. She looked at everyone's expressions and asked in confusion.

Ito Rin opened her mouth, Hongxia was holding back her laughter, Xiao Kita started planning what kind of Chocolatier to give her, and Pochi-chan was still immersed in her heroic performance just now.

"nothing……"

Is it true that the first Valentine's Day will be the same as last year?

No, at least he had a reason to refuse the chocolates given by other girls.

Thinking of this, Ito Rin comforted herself, feeling that she had gained something.

Seeing the dilemma between them, Hong Xia clasped her hands together and said to Liang apologetically, "This is all my fault. I didn't notice how much pressure you were under. I should let you and Ito be in charge of the songs at the same time in the future."

"It's just that I can't write anything good at the moment. It has nothing to do with how many people are involved. Even if I add him in, the writing will still be bad."

"...Everyone has high hopes for this music festival." Yamada Ryo looked down at the bass in his arms and recalled the things in his previous band.

"So I wanted to write the best song, because I was worried that if the result was not satisfactory, everyone would be discouraged and quit the band."

Ichichi Hongxia, who hated people talking about the band's breakup the most, used violence against Ryo in front of her boyfriend after hearing her discouraging words.

"what!"

But judging from her voice, she was in a good mood.

After Ito Rin helped Liang, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, up, she helped her clean her clothes.

Ijichi Hongxia put her hands on her hips, her tone still a little angry: "This music festival is indeed very important to all of us, but even if the results are not satisfactory, we can't disband for this reason."

"That's right." Ito Rin nodded in agreement.

Hongxia also realized that her previous behavior was a bit rude. She showed a sunny smile on her face and looked at Yamada Ryo gently.

"Everyone here is in a band because they have fun making music with other members, right?"

"That's right." Ito Rin was about to agree perfunctorily, but then she remembered the reason why she participated and raised her hand: "Not necessarily, just like me."

"Shut up!" "Ito-san, no one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."

It should have been a touching scene, but he kept talking nonsense, and the two girls told him to shut up in unison.

Just shut up, why are you being so fierce?

Ito Rin raised her hand to indicate that she would not speak anymore.

Hongxia also took Liang's hand and looked at her with a smile: "From now on, just rely on everyone. After all, we are a band."

Yamada Ryo looked down at this handshake that symbolized unity, and couldn't help feeling moved. He decided to do something.

"Ah, is it really okay?"

"Then I'll be frank. I like a musical instrument. Please give me about 50 million yen each..."

Hongxia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Even Ito Rin could sense her anger.

I didn't expect Liangjiang to be such a straightforward girl. Even in this kind of situation, she still maintains her simple nature.

Ito Rin gave her a thumbs up, and she immediately sat next to him and held out her hand for money.

"Don't go too far. You're running out of room for all the instruments in your room."

"Changing the subject? Please give me money!"

The angry Hong Xia over there still suppressed her wild power and put her little hand to her lips, as if she had seen through Liang's conspiracy.

When this beautiful girl in a floral plaid shirt and a cute ponytail starts to reason, she inevitably looks more impressive than others.

"But I didn't expect that Liang would be so concerned about ending the band. He has always acted like everything is fine with the band. He is really not straightforward."

Her good-natured chuckle might have been mistaken by Yamada Ryo as a mockery.

Because Ito Rin could understand the meaning.

"I thought you were really aloof and didn't care about the development of the band, but it turns out you were just pretending. In fact, you care about everyone in your heart."

Although the translation is not completely correct, this is roughly what it means.

Liang, who was pestering Ito Rin for money, tensed up. She would never admit to these words that revealed the truth.

The usually cold and beautiful girl suddenly put on a sunny smile, which made Ito Rin, who was most familiar with her, a little dazed.
