Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

Hong Xia put her hands behind her back, her yellow hair fell to her waist, and her pretty face with a smile was cute and lovely. "I have big news to tell you today, sister!"

"what?"

The store manager, thinking it might be a gift, straightened up, still speaking reluctantly.

Is today a special holiday? My sister is giving her a gift again.

There shouldn't be any days worth noting in March, or is it that she made money from the band and wanted to spend it on her sister?

Hong Xia pulled out her cell phone from behind her back and handed it to her sister like she was offering a treasure. "You didn't expect that! The band has received an invitation to its first live performance! Look, look, and there's more than one."

"Ito also received an email inviting me to perform tomorrow. We discussed it and finally decided to go to Shinjuku!"

After the dream of the gift was shattered, the store manager frowned and said indifferently: "Well done."

They are going to perform in other stores. If the results are good, will they plan to leave Fanxing?

My sister has indeed grown up, but her heart suddenly feels empty.

The reaction she received was quite different from what she had imagined. Hong Xia's smile gradually disappeared and her voice became quieter: "What do you mean by your ambiguous attitude? I thought my sister would be happy for me..."

"Why do you say such things?!"

Xingge rubbed his head and said weakly, "I just think it's good to just perform in our store, isn't it?"

"After all, if we leave Shimokitazawa, it will be difficult for the guests to follow us."

But such an attitude undoubtedly dampened Hongxia's enthusiasm.

"Sister, you always say mean things like this!"

"Idiot! Idiot! Thirty years old!!"

She ran out of the room with tears in her eyes, without looking back, leaving behind a string of bad words.

Xingge looked at her back angrily: "Hey, thirty is not an insult! Apologize to all the thirty-year-olds in the country!"

As sisters for so many years, quarrels are commonplace. Although quarrels rarely happen after Hongxia became more sensible after the family changes, Xingge still won't take such angry words to heart.

She got up and turned off the lights, then lay back down on her bed. She was worried that her sister's band would abandon her, but her body fell asleep quietly.

Running back to the bed crying, Hongxia lay in the quilt, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

Although my sister's attitude towards ending the band was ambiguous, when I thought about the fact that the band was formed by her alone and had nothing to do with her, I couldn't find any reason to blame her.

With her hands hugging her legs and her body leaning against the wall, Hong Xia was lost in thought, if she could give a perfect live performance, would her sister look at her with new eyes?

No, someone as awkward as her would definitely be stubborn even if she agreed in her heart.

She glanced down at the phone at her feet and thought of the guy who lived downstairs from her.

[Is Ito-san here? ]

Ito Rin, who had just finished playing games with Shiraki and the others and was about to take a shower and go to bed, saw her cell phone light up while she was drying her hair, and found out it was the girl who lived upstairs.

[Not here. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow.]

【Oh, it looks like Xiao Xiduo is using your phone. 】

Ito Rin, who was resistant to threats and did not respond, obediently switched back to her original form, walked to the balcony with her hair shaking, feeling the cool breeze of early spring.

He looked up to see the upstairs, but could only see the ceiling. Then he called classmate Hong Xia.

"Drip drip..."

After a long busy tone, the other party answered the phone and lowered his voice: "My sister is next door, why are you calling me?"

"Don't get excited. You're just upstairs from me. If I speak louder, the manager will notice. And if you're calling, it's obviously you who came to me first, okay?"

Hongxia fell into silence, and just when Ito Rin suspected that she had hung up, the sound of faint footsteps was heard.

"Don't you want to pretend to be Xiao Xiduo at this time?"

As if realizing that she was in the same situation as herself, Ito Rin stuck her head out of the window and found that the balcony upstairs was indeed lit.

My heart inexplicably calmed down, and my tone became more relaxed: "Xiao Xiduo is waiting for me, tell me if you have something to say."

"Hmph, hmph." She snorted twice with disdain, seeing through Ito Rin's nature of pretending to be a big shot.

"It's okay. I just want to chat with you for a while. You can hang up if you mind."

The cold wind blowing on his face made him more awake.

When a girl says something when she is angry, you can only interpret it in the opposite way, otherwise the consequences will be absolutely tragic.

"I am very happy to hear what Hong Xia has to say. I have already found a seat and am ready. Please go ahead."

"What's in your heart..."

Instinctively denying his nonsense, Hong Xiaye opened the window and whispered to him.

The most important part is my sister’s attitude towards ending the band.

In the neighborhood at night, only two neighboring households in their building would turn on lights on their balconies.

After hearing this simple family conflict, Ito Rin wanted to laugh, but she was worried that Hongxia would get angry and embarrassed.

"Isn't this a sign that the store manager cares about you?"

"How is that possible? She doesn't really care about ending the band's development. If we can get out of Shimokitazawa, it will be of great help to our debut!"

The girl's voice became a little hurried, and it was obvious that she took this opportunity very seriously.

"You care about the band, but the manager cares about you. If we achieve great success in Shinjuku, will we reduce the number of performances at Fanhei? You already have much less time to work part-time, and if the live performances are split again, the manager will have even fewer opportunities to see you."

Ito Rin analyzed the store manager's behavior with the mindset of a sister control. She hadn't reached the level of possessiveness, but she definitely hoped that Hongxia would appear in the store often.

"what……"

Hong Xia was confused and puzzled.

Is this really what my sister thinks?

When she touched her face, it suddenly felt hot. Even on the phone screen, she could see that her face had turned a lot redder.

"Hong Xia should know the store manager very well. How could someone like her say what's in her heart? She might even say that the correct answer is the opposite of what she thinks."

Ito Rin finally asserted: "The manager is definitely worried that your sister will rise too high and forget about her."

"Hmph, don't say that my sister is old!" Hong Xia said unhappily.

Even though she just said something like that to her 30-year-old sister, they are sisters, so Ito-san should not hurt her fragile heart.

"..."

"Ito-san!"

"Yes." His voice became weak.

"Can I trouble you with something?" Hong Xia stuck out her tongue and looked downstairs.

"Please tell me. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can do your best."

"Can someone help record tomorrow's live performance? I want my sister to see our results."

This was an idea she came up with. No matter what her sister thought, Hongxia wanted to share the joy of their progress with her.

She's so old, but she's still worried that her sister will leave her. That's too much!

"Is that so?" Ito Rin's voice rose slightly, then dropped suddenly.

"Leave it to me, it's just a small problem."

"Thank you, Ito-san!"

After hanging up the phone, she stood on the balcony until the lights downstairs went out, and then she left the cold place.

When Ito Rin returned to the bedroom, he found that someone had sent him another message.

[Rin-chan, what do you think of this outfit? ]

This was the first time that Yamada Ryo shared clothing pictures with him. Ito Rin lay on the bed and observed them carefully before starting to comment.

[The color and style are very suitable, but this seems to be different from your usual style, right? ]

Black dresses and the like are not something that should be worn by Liang Jiang.

[You have no objection?] She replied to the message very quickly.

【Um. 】

[That's good. As for style, it can be changed. Good night.]

After saying goodnight to Yamada Ryo, Ito Rin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

What should a scumbag fear the most, is that he suddenly regains his conscience, or that he develops lustful thoughts about other targets?

Under the torture of this ultimate question, Ito Rin's eyelids gradually became heavy, and finally she fell asleep in the darkness of the community.

Chapter 112 The Disadvantages of Being Too Charming

The day of the live.

Hongxia, eager to prove her skills to her sister, got the key to Fanxing very early and opened the store early in the morning like most weekends.

Those who have the same goal as her and also want to take this time to train include Kita and Pochi.

The former wanted to continue to improve his singing skills, while the latter was persuaded by Xiao Xiduo.

So when Ito Rin arrived nearby, she could hear the singing coming from inside before she even opened the door.

He smiled knowingly. Little Kitado really looked very good during training.

When he actually broke in, the scene inside was not much different from what he had expected.

Classmate Hong Xia sat behind the drum set, concentrating on playing the music, while Xiao Xiduo held the microphone and sang the song without distraction.

However, he was somewhat surprised by the appearance of Goto-san. Shouldn't creatures like Pochi-chan only appear as wild monsters when the game is about to start?

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ito Rin walked to Hongxia's side and did not disturb Xiao Kita. The other party obviously saw him as well. After exchanging glances, the two of them busy themselves with the things at hand.

"It's okay, you don't need to practice. Just try to cooperate with everyone more. That guy Liang actually said he can't come until the afternoon." Hong Xia muttered softly.

"When she has her days off, she has to rest until very late. Just get used to it."

"What am I used to doing this... She's your girlfriend."

Hearing the obvious resentment in the music, Ito Rin lowered her head, plugged in the power cord, and started practicing without music score.

"senior!"

The passage of time was diluted by the hard training. When someone called him, Ito Rin's eyes still revealed a bit of confusion.

Now that I think about it, it must be because I slept too late yesterday that I was able to train to the point where I wanted to sleep.

"Ah, Goto-san, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Shaking his head, Ito Rin regained consciousness and responded politely.

The two people who started at the same time as him are not in much better situation now. Hong Xia is shaking his sore arms and can only look at the score without wanting to take any action.

Xiao Xiduo found a chair and sat down, his mouth slightly open, but no sound came out.

Pochi-chan, who rarely spoke, was now squatting in front of him.

"Yes," she said hesitantly, glancing at her two teammates.

Ito Rin, who was very familiar with this action, suddenly recalled bad memories.

"Let's... find a quieter place?" Ito Rin pointed to the preparation room.

"Ah, okay."

Pochi-chan, who did have this idea, agreed immediately, but after following her to the preparation room, she still pinched her fingers and refused to say a word.

Ito Rin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he looked at it more and more familiarly. If he remembered correctly, this was the place where Kita first surprised him.

It's here too, right?
