Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

Yuyuko and Pochi-chan leaned against each other unconsciously, and I was very envious of their interaction.

"Ah...yes."

Pochi-chan was also envious and felt that the relationship between the seniors seemed to have become closer.

"But it has nothing to do with you." Youyouzi still did not forget to attack her rival in her mind.

"I almost want to get you into our band."

"What?" Pochi-chan looked at her in confusion.

"In that case, I shouldn't be the isolated person in the band, but who knows." Youyouzi shook her head and dismissed the tempting idea.

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. I won't let you go anyway. You guys should do your best in today's game."

"Thanks…"

"Only if you are strong enough can I feel a strong sense of accomplishment after winning!"

Youyouko raised her head with a very middle school-like temperament and looked at Pochi-chan proudly.

"Hey, why are you here?" Yamada Ryo, who went backstage to escape the heat, asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by running? It's just a normal visit."

With new people coming in from the backstage, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"Captain! We finally found you. It's our turn to audition. Don't bother with Pochi-chan."

"Nonsense, I'm here to gather intelligence on the opponent. How could I be here to play with others?" Youyouzi glared at her teammates.

"Spying for information!" Yamada Ryo's eyes were sharp: "Rin-chan, come over here and catch the thief."

Ito Rin: “…”

Was he really participating in the finals of the unconfirmed riot, rather than a kindergarten-level competition?

Why does it look like they are just playing?

"Humph, Goto Doku and Yamada Ryo, wait until I defeat you and take first place, I'm going to make you cry!"

After making some harsh remarks, Miss Youyouzi was pulled back by her teammates for a sound check. In two hours, it would be time for the official competition.

"It's so hot outside. It's more comfortable to stay in the room." Little Kita, fanning himself with his hands, also ran in.

"It should be cooler when we go on stage later, right?" Hongxia asked Ito Rin.

"I don't know, but if a player really gets heat stroke, it will definitely be big news."

Yamada Ryo was attracted by this suggestion: "Good suggestion, in order to increase our popularity, after the game is over, let Lin-chan pretend to have heatstroke."

"Wait, why me?"

"Or you want the girls to fall to the ground."

Ito Rin subconsciously looked at Pochi-chan. It seemed that she had done something similar during her last performance.

The biggest difference is that she got it by chance, not like Liang Jiang who forced her poor teammates to do it in order to become famous.

"...I know I was wrong!" Pochi-chan covered her face shyly.

Even to this day, her most famous achievement in school is still that stage diving.

Damn it, a whole semester has passed, how come so many people still remember it?

After a few jokes, everyone finally quieted down and sorted out their instruments before going on stage.

There's still some nervousness left, but compared to the time they had the accident with their musical instruments during the school festival, they have grown a lot now.

There was a deafening roar coming from outside. It was the Beast Band performing, and the sound seemed to live up to the name.

"Next up, end the band!"

Time passed quickly, and the announcement sounded slowly. Ito Rin took a deep breath and stretched out her hand.

Hongxia, Yamada Ryo, Xiao Kita, and Pochi-chan were put on in turn.

"What is our goal?"

"champion!"

"What are our names?"

"End the band!"

"Let's give a warm welcome to Shimokitazawa's new band - the ending band!"

At the end of midsummer, they stepped onto the important stage for the first time in their lives.

Chapter 144: Liang Jiang, it has to be you

May 29th, Saturday, the weather was sunny, just an ordinary weekend.

Ito Rin got up early in the morning, changed her clothes, dressed carefully in front of the mirror, and then called Pochi-chan.

"Have you set off yet?"

"Ah... We're on our way. We'll be at the station in half an hour."

"Then I'll pick you up."

"Thank you, senior."

After hanging up the phone, he was quite pleased with Pochi-chan's politeness. She was indeed a good kid.

He contacted Liang and Hongxia separately. The former was catching up on sleep as usual, which made him depressed and left a message on the social software.

【Don’t forget today’s tasks after getting up. 】

Xiao Xiduo took credit for it and asked curiously, "Rin, do you want to take Pochi-chan to buy a gift?"

"Well, she doesn't know what to choose, so she leaves it to me." Ito Rin pushed open the door.

"I prepared cosmetics!"

"As expected, Hongxia should like it too."

"Hey, definitely. This is the most popular category that I carefully selected."

The chat ends here. Shimokitazawa, which wakes up early, is very lively even on weekends. Especially after the weather has improved recently, there are more and more elderly people on the streets.

After looking at the time, Ito Rin decided to run to the station.

It's a good opportunity to exercise. If possible, he also wants Liang or Pochi to participate in more sports. Oh, and Hongxia can't be left out either.

These three damn homebodies simply drag down the band's average fitness.

"Ito-kun, you're out for a morning run again." A woman who also lives in the community greeted Ito Rin enthusiastically after seeing her.

"Yes."

"You can persist even during holidays, no wonder you are number one among your classmates." She praised.

Ito Rin didn't know what insisting on exercising had to do with age, but she still chatted with her with a smile for a few words. When she felt it was about time, she trotted towards the station.

The station seemed much more spacious during the weekend. Pochi-chan got off the train and wanted to make another call or send a message to her senior.

"Pochi Pochi, this way, this way."

Goto looked up alone and saw a handsome boy waving at him on the platform. The sunlight shining through the glass fell on his face, and the sweat beads on his forehead looked crystal clear.

His handsome face was full of smiles, making him look like the boy next door, which made Pochi's heart beat faster.

No matter how many times I see him, Ito-senpai is always so handsome, and looks exactly like my fantasy boyfriend.

If I have a chance, I would like to ask him if he plays basketball.

But will this be too obvious? I'm so confused!

"Why are you dazed?"

Seeing that after Pochi-chan got off the car, she just stood there motionless, Ito Rin had to take the initiative to move closer and tap her on the head with her fingers to wake her up.

"I'm... sorry!" Pochi-chan's apology was suddenly very loud, attracting the attention of the crowd at the station.

"I'll apologize later. We should get going."

"Yes……"

After leaving the station, the midday sun became fierce, and they leaned against the shadows of the houses along the way, looking for boutiques.

"senior……"

After walking out of yet another boutique and still not deciding on a gift, Pochi-chan spoke up.

"Ok?"

"Are you free next week?" Pochi-chan played with her fingers.

"I have plenty of time, so I'll do whatever I want." Ito Rin ruled out the second-hand store next door.

Giving someone a birthday present and having the other person promise to return something of equal value is a very generous idea on his part.

"Record a song!"

“You actually have to record it.”

Since winning the competition two weeks ago, the band's musical activities have been temporarily suspended.

The three of them still had some time, but the bassist and the drummer were so overwhelmed by the heavy tutoring workload that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

End of the band, this promising high school rock band seemed to be aborted due to academic burden.

This kind of thing is really worth reporting, but the actual situation is just a way to concentrate before the exam.

They all agreed to resume their band activities during the summer vacation.

"Senior, how about this?" Pochi-chan picked up the pendant in the shape of a musical instrument.

"Hongxia should like this kind of thing very much."

To be precise, she wouldn't be picky about most gifts. After all, except for being particularly picky in front of him, Hong Xia was still that archangel.

"That's it."

Pochi-chan didn't want to continue shopping, so she decided that Ito Rin's gift had already been chosen, which was a corset that girls would use.

Compared to external decorations or small gifts, what he gave was more practical.

After paying the bill, he walked towards the Yamada family according to the planned plan.

"Has your life changed after winning the championship? You should become famous." Ito Rin asked her while holding a knotted box in her hand.

"Ah? Everything is fine." Pochi-chan touched his head.

He is famous indeed, and winning a major competition is much better than his previous reputation as a diving freak.

But after actually achieving the goal, Pochi-chan didn't feel much sense of accomplishment. It was not as interesting as seeing Miss Yuyuko's funny expression after they won.

"Good, you can handle the compliments now." Ito Rin praised her.

"Nope either."

Pochi-chan is rubbish for returning to her old ways after hearing the compliments!

When she arrived at the Yamada house, she had finally gotten up at this time, and Kita had also arrived.

"What's your gift?" Walking into the spacious living room, Ito Rin looked at her suspiciously.

"How can we tell you in advance? It would be best if only Hongxia knows it." Yamada Ryo replied.

Ito Rin thought she was not prepared again, but now it seems that she was wrong.

"Pochi-chan!" Little Kita, who was wearing a red sportswear, called out to them, "Long time no see."

"Was the person I met while working yesterday a ghost?" Ito Rin said.

"Senior, this is just a description. Please don't interrupt our reminiscence. Besides, we haven't seen Senior Liang for a long time."

Since they have to take tutoring classes, their scheduled time is inevitably much shorter, but it can't be said that they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Liang, who was wearing pajamas, yawned and was about to go back upstairs to change his clothes. Ito Rin wanted to follow him, but was glared back at.

Didn’t you say you were an old married couple? Why are you becoming shy now?
