Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

After the tasks for participating in the competition were assigned, the part that he was originally responsible for was replaced by external aid. Pochi-chan and Yamada Ryo had to prepare for future songs and future exams, while Kita had to practice singing skills and promote the MV.

Instead, Captain Hongxia and he, the two busiest people on weekdays, took a break.

In this case, he called up classmate Hongxia early in the morning on a holiday.

Because some of the flowers I bought were for her.

According to the agreed time.

Ito Rin changed her clothes, dressed herself up carefully in front of the mirror, went upstairs and knocked on her door.

Ijichi Hongxia was wearing an apron and there were water stains on her hands. The sunlight from the window shone on her, creating ripples.

Her long, soft hair, as bright as a sunflower, fell to her slender waist, and her bright eyes looked at him with a smile.

The scene was not much different from any other morning, but it made him feel unusually warm, and he hoped it could continue like this forever.

"Are we here too early?" Hong Xia looked up at the time.

Ito Rin smiled. He came here after he detected that the manager had left home.

"The time is right. I can wait for you for a while."

"Well, let me clean up the kitchen." She helped take out the slippers and went back to the kitchen to work.

"I thought Nijixia-san noticed the fact that I didn't eat, but it turns out she was just cleaning?"

"Is Ito-san too narcissistic?"

"Know the difference between narcissism and self-confidence. And I do often skip breakfast. I thought you remembered that."

"Don't be like Liang and treat me as your mother. I will never indulge a loser in life again!"

"It turns out that Ryo's current state is due to Nijixia-san."

There was a sound of something falling in the kitchen, and Ito Rin looked over there.

"Even without me." Hong Xia sighed and said helplessly: "Liang doesn't seem like the kind of person who knows how to live, and when it comes to indulgence, you don't seem to be any worse."

She wiped her palms, hesitated for a while, and took out a piece of cake from the refrigerator.

They were the only two people in the room, trying to calm Ito-san down and prevent him from doing anything stupid.

After comforting herself with this reason, she handed it over.

"Thank you." Ito Rin thanked him and gave up the seat next to him: "I have never indulged Liang-chan before. On the contrary, I quite like watching her eating grass."

"It was said before."

Instead of sitting down, she went back to the bathroom and fixed her makeup in front of the mirror, mocking Ito Rin at the same time.

"Hurry up and finish your meal. Holiday time is precious."

She said so, but Captain Hongxia remained in the bedroom until Ito Rin finished eating and changed her clothes.

"Captain, if you are kidnapped, please let me know. I'm going to break down the door."

"you dare!"

Ito Rin shrugged, saying that she was just talking and had no intention of fighting the wooden door with her body.

The effect of intimidation was immediate. Hongxia walked out with a frown. Maybe she was not satisfied with her outfit, but Ito Rin still cooperated and clapped.

"Even if it might be misunderstood as flattery, you look really beautiful in this outfit, Captain."

The white sailor outfit is full of girlish charm, with an orange knot at the collar and a red ribbon tied around the hands. Under the black pleated skirt are white tights that reach the calves.

The long golden hair was tied into a single ponytail and tilted on the left side, covering the shallow dimple on the side.

"Thank you."

Having received his approval, Hong Xia felt somewhat satisfied and followed him out of the house.

There is still a long time until White Valentine's Day, and roses cannot be preserved, so his goal this time is just to find a suitable flower shop.

The band's funds were tight, and as the deputy captain, he had to be as frugal as possible even though he was not using public funds.

He also used the reason of saving money to bring out the originally reluctant Captain Hongxia.

Leaving Shimokitazawa, head towards Ota Ward, where there is the largest flower market in Tokyo, with the best choices in terms of price and quality.

No one suggested taking the tram, so we just walked quietly on the road.

The sun was about to climb to the center, and the sunlight was shining on the road. The green shades on both sides of the road blocked most of the light, leaving only a few yellow spots falling on Hongxia's shoulders.

"I heard that Kita-chan is going to sing with Pochi-chan today?" Hongxia took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence between the two.

"Ah."

"Why didn't I invite you? Or did you feel abandoned, Ito-san, so you came to me?"

The girl's tone was full of teasing, which made him feel better.

"Yes, Kita-chan abandoned me, and Ryo-chan wouldn't let me go. I had no choice but to find Hongxia, who also had nothing to do, to avoid the embarrassment of going to buy flowers alone."

"I see. You're taking advantage of my female identity. That's too much." She nodded seriously and pointed at the roadside stall: "To punish you for this, buy me an ice cream."

Ito Rin nodded, and after a while she took out two ice creams and shared them.

"The real reason why Kita didn't bring me along is that if I were anywhere, it would affect her training. After being hit by Miss PA a few days ago, she has become very concerned about singing."

"After spending so much time with her sister, Ms. PA has also learned bad things, but I think her singing in the MV is actually pretty good."

Hong Xia licked the cream, leaving white traces at the corners of her mouth. She was always so gentle when commenting on the band members.

"It's good that she thinks this way. If we really want to debut in the future, we have to improve our levels in all aspects." Ito Rin said this while looking straight at Hong Xia.

Thinking that he was hinting at her drum level, Hong Xia shook her hair unconfidently, but still tried hard to say, "I will become better. Aren't I much better now than before?"

"Yeah." Ito Rin continued to look at her and replied perfunctorily.

Hongxia, who didn't understand what he meant, speeded up the script sullenly. Ito Rin, who was jogging to catch up with her, this time stroked his lips with his hand while looking at her.

This man looks like he deserves a beating again.

"The cream on my lips..." Ito Rin touched her mouth again.

She also touched it subconsciously, and after seeing the white spots on her hand, she looked at Ito Rin, who had already started laughing.

It's amazing that he could hold it in for so long.

"Is it funny?"

"It's just so-so, but I've done so much guidance, so this should make me happy..."

"what!"

Ito Rin, whose foot was stepped on, looked up at the sky. If this continued, he would have to change into a pair of shoes that were not afraid of being stepped on.

I visited several flower shops and felt that they were all good, so I continued to move forward adhering to the principle of comparing prices from three stores.

Although we are almost at Ota Ward if we go a little further, we should never underestimate how far high school students can walk when they are bored in order to save money.

Around twelve o'clock, Ito Rin wiped the sweat from her forehead and suggested eating something and taking a rest.

In this way, the money saved with great difficulty is spent several times more.

But this is also kind of fun, right?

Ito Rin ate quickly, drank her drink and looked at her phone, and casually asked about Hongxia.

"After the end of the second year of high school, how are you going to arrange your time?"

"I'm not sure yet." Hong Xia raised her head, unable to give an answer.

During this period of time, Ito Rin has been paying attention to everyone's studies and has a rough idea of ​​what is going on.

If nothing miraculous happens to Liangjiang, it will be difficult for her to achieve the goals she has set based on her current attitude and progress. Although Hongxia's college goal is not that scary, it cannot be achieved by playing a musical instrument while studying lazily.

After all, not everyone has the learning ability like him.

As for Kita, he doesn't have too many requirements, as long as he can go to university in Tokyo. As for Pochi-chan, it doesn't matter whether he takes the college entrance examination or not.

"After the unconfirmed Riot game is over, you should prepare to reduce the band's activity time. I plan to help you two review your previous lessons."

"So kind-hearted Ito-san?"

"You have misunderstood me. I am always willing to help others."

She looked at Ito Rin in disbelief, and after he paid the bill and left the store, she continued, "Mr. Ito, when you say being helpful, do you mean letting a lady walk such a long way with cream on her lips?"

"Lady? Where?"

“That’s your kindness.”

Ito Rin put her hands behind her back, smiled and continued walking forward.

When you come across an interesting place, you should stop there; when you encounter something that interests you, you should appreciate it. This is how you should use your holiday time.

The bus stop not far away reminded them that if they continued forward, they would leave Setagaya and enter Ota Ward.

Perhaps there was no need for such a reminder at all, as the fragrance of the flowers where they stopped was many levels stronger than that in Shimokitazawa.

The cherry blossoms of early spring are falling profusely, and people who come out to play on the weekends mostly spend their time on the lawns in the park.

Hongxia walked to the bench between two cherry trees and sat down, feeling unprecedentedly peaceful.

"It would be nice to perform in a place like this," she asked.

"The falling petals will affect the effect of the musical instruments, and tourists who don't like rock music will think we are disturbing others. Probably in a few minutes, the police will come and drive us away." Ito Rin responded.

She was silent, looking at the unromantic Ito Rin, wondering how he could have two girlfriends.

"But if we ignore the reality factor, the visual effect will definitely be great if we really perform here."

"That's totally impossible." Hong Xia stood up. "I don't really believe it. I'll check if there are any similar experiences when I go back."

“Even if we want to replicate it, we have to wait until we become famous.”

Hongxia nodded approvingly and pointed at Ito Rin.

"So I ordered Ito-san as the captain to make the End Band famous."

After carefully recalling her own identity, Ito Rin realized that she was neither an alien nor a person with super powers, but just an ordinary high school student. She immediately felt relieved.

"Captain, I know a good mental hospital. If you need it, I can make an appointment for you."

"That's it."

She ignored Ito Rin's nonsense, stood up and continued walking forward.

When we were just a stone's throw away from Ota City, we finally found the right place.

He was very satisfied with both the price and the quality, especially the dazzling array of flowers displayed in front of the door, which looked as fresh as if they had just been plucked from the branches.

Red, yellow, white, purple, pink, the wind blows gently, bringing rich fragrance.

When Ito Rin, who had gone in to inquire about the matter, came back, Hongxia, who had been waiting outside alone, was already squatting in front of the white roses.

"There's actually this color?" Her tone was as surprised as if she had discovered a new world.

"Not only that, you don't think roses are only red, do you? What a stupid idea."

She clapped her hands and stood up, not giving much direction to the comment, but pointing at the white rose.

"What does its flower mean? Ito, a smart man, must know it very well."

"Innocence, purity, nobility, respect, wisdom, honesty, unknown beauty..."

Ito Rin had a good memory. When choosing a return gift for White Valentine's Day, she went out of her way to look for a suitable white rose. However, when she opened her mouth, she inexplicably hid the two most important paragraphs.

Hongxia is very satisfied with the flower language that is recorded according to her own characteristics.

"If nothing else, I'll have these as my roses, and I want a bunch of them!"

“It’s very expensive.”

She nodded even more happily, "Just consider it as my compensation for accompanying you for the whole morning. Aren't you a kind-hearted Ito-san? Such a small request should be no problem."

Ito Rin looked at her phone in embarrassment, then nodded awkwardly, turned back and asked the owner to replace the ordered flowers.

When she came back, she picked up a few pots of succulents and looked very interested.

"We came out to save money, but ended up spending twice as much."

"Yeah, but it's not the band's funding, I can accept that."

"What about me!" Ito Rin's voice got louder.
