Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"Ah!" She fell weakly on the floor and rolled around.

The feeling of keeping a secret is really uncomfortable. I guess this is why I can’t concentrate on my studies recently.

"Sister, what are you doing again!" Goto Jiri was sitting next to her and drawing a picture of Goto Ichiri tumbling.

"Well, it's indeed inappropriate for girls to do this." I don't know when my mother entered the room.

“Ahhh, why did you all come in!” Goto Ichiri climbed up shyly.

"We came in a long time ago." said my sister innocently.

"It's just that Xiaodu has been in a daze and doesn't pay any attention to us."

“Then he just rolled around on the ground.”

"At least knock on the door, get out now!"

After pushing all his family members out, Goto Ichiri sat up straight, recalled the relationships within the band, and became worried again.

"It's impossible for me to handle such a relationship."

"Do you need help?" My sister opened a corner of the door. "I noticed you've been in a daze for the past week."

How is that possible? She performed perfectly and even managed to eat on time.

When she looked up, her sister had already closed the door tactfully. But when she started to think again, the little cutie poked her head out again, unwilling to be left alone.

"I feel like my sister still needs my help!"

Seeing that she was not going to stop until she achieved her goal, Goto Ichiri had no choice but to wave his hand and let her come in to give advice.

"I have a big problem now. A friend asked me to keep a secret, but it will affect other people."

Goto Jiri's eyes flickered, "I should know this friend of yours!"

"Who said that? Don't think that I only have those few friends after the band ended. I, your sister, am very popular." Pochi-chan quickly retorted: "Anyway, you definitely don't know me."

"Sister is so easy to fool. It seems like she is someone I know."

"… Stop being so clever."

"In the end, I still have to use my little cleverness to solve the problem." Goto Jiri had a focused expression, looking like an adult.

Seeing how serious she was, Pochi-chan also felt a little hopeful.

Since my sister has so many friends, she must have encountered such things. How did she deal with it?

In their silence, bored Pochi-chan recalled the time when she was alone with her senior.

In the narrow space, the senior was concentrating on the music score in his hand, while she was immersed in her own music, and the two worked together very harmoniously.

Even if I make a small mistake, there will be a gentle voice to remind me.

The more she thought about it, the more complicated Pochi-chan's mood became.

"Sister, come back to your senses!" Her sister's voice woke her up.

"Ah, I'm here." Pochi-chan, with a rosy face, quickly stopped fantasizing and covered her face shyly.

"What are you thinking about? It feels like you are in love."

Very quickly, the door opened immediately, and Mrs. Goto poked her head out, her voice rising eight octaves: "In love? Who is it? You are still young, you can't think about that kind of thing."

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't ignore an adult like my sister in front of you." Goto Jiri, who was misunderstood, sounded depressed.

"I trust Xiao Du very much."

"Such trust... seems to make sense." Goto Jiri stretched out his little hand, drove his mother out again, and only felt relieved after watching her disappear down the stairs.

"Why can't I fall in love?" Pochi-chan, who was discriminated against, felt gloomy.

"With whom? The boyfriend you have on the Internet?" Goto Jiri asked curiously. His sister's accounts were all operated by family members, so there was no way to hide the fact that she had fabricated a perfect boyfriend from them.

"..."

I can’t keep this sister anymore. She’s almost lawless.

"Now let's get down to business, about your secret." Goto Jiri said seriously, "Since your second friend doesn't know that you already know the secret, then don't say anything more."

"Alas." She sighed dully.

After all, I don't know the content of the secret, so I can make such a suggestion without any psychological burden.

Amidst the stars, an unknown band was performing on the stage.

They look like high school students as well, the difference is that it's a four-piece band, and they're all girls. Their skills sound pretty good, but probably because they're new on stage, there are still some small mistakes.

Ito Rin and others can now look at their juniors who are following in their old footsteps from a higher perspective. After all, they are a new generation of bands that have transcended the single performance hall and are about to release records.

When they come in front of the store manager, this pride is broken by the enthusiasm for sales. If the sales are too bad, the new generation band will immediately become an outdated band.

After all, in Tokyo, what is most lacking is the new generation.

"Manager, are you interested in making an advance reservation for the new album of the most popular rising star band, The End of the Band, which is about to be released?"

"I'm not interested. Leave now. If you keep harassing me like this, I'm going to call the police and ask them to ask you to leave. Your band will probably be on the news right away."

Ito Rin stood up disappointedly, looking like a poor salesman who had failed to complete today's sales task. Thinking of being scolded by his wife when he got home in the evening, he felt the fatigue unique to middle-aged men.

"You're getting too immersed in the role." Hong Xia said bluntly.

"Otherwise, I've seen the future of our band."

She became interested and poked Ito Rin's waist, asking him to continue.

"The high school rock band's first album failed miserably. After the record company mustered up the courage to release the second album, it continued the failure of the previous one and finally decided to give up. The musical dreams of the five young people were shattered."

"Captain Hong Xia chose to return to Fanxing to work as a waitress. Vice-captain Ito Rin had no choice but to enter the University of Tokyo to continue her studies. Bassist Yamada Ryo returned home to inherit the family business. Lead singer Xiao Kita was promoted to a senior high school student. Guitarist Bochi-chan became a NEET."

A fan not far from them raised the question.

"Ito-kun, is it a shame to be admitted to the University of Tokyo?"

"Of course." Ito Rin moved the bench in front of her. "If your goal from the beginning was the University of Tokyo, it would be a happy thing to be able to continue your studies normally. But if your goal is to win the band championship, then that would be very unfair."

"So, are you two interested in buying our records? At least our idol dreams can last a little longer."

"I definitely won't miss it when it comes out, and I will help promote it in the group." Fan No. 1 said.

“Thank you so much!”

Hongxia pulled him back unhappily and gave the two fans an apologetic smile.

"Can't you be serious?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Even if the ending was made up, I must have been in college at the time."

"That's right." Ito Rin suddenly realized, "But looking at your current condition, you might as well go to university in Hokkaido."

"Go to hell."

The store manager was more concerned about this topic than the previous sales pitch: "If you dare to go to Hokkaido, you're done."

"Do I look like someone who likes ice and snow?"

"This seems even more suspicious."

For the sake of her dear Captain Hongxia, the thoughtful Ito Rin searched for colleges that she would never pay attention to the rankings, and there was only one screening factor.

That means it must be in Tokyo, preferably very close to Shimokitazawa, so as to satisfy the store manager's fetish of controlling girls.

"It's Waseda, so there's still hope." Hong Xia protested, not forgetting the goal she had set before: "Is it possible?"

"Well, I believe you." Ito Rin said.

"It feels like there's little hope. Are you interested in going to your sister's alma mater?" Xing Ge started promoting it. Compared to other famous universities, she felt that her alma mater, which was close to home, was the most suitable place for her sister.

"No way. You skipped classes every day in high school. The school you went to must not be very good. And your final job has nothing to do with your major."

Ito Rin wanted to tell her that this was a very normal thing, just like Sister Hiroi who also went to college and ended up having the same experience.

"Don't underestimate me!" Xingge said.

"Then tell me what you learned in college." Hong Xia said angrily.

“……”Xingge was silent.

This matter really cannot be explained in too much detail. If it is explained in too much detail, others will find out that she seems to have learned nothing.

After all, she was busy forming a band in college, so she just had to get by with her daily studies. After leaving the band, she had to concentrate on taking care of her younger sister, so she had even more reasons to skip classes.

As a result, this little girl actually used this to laugh at her!

"You'll understand when you go to college." Xingge had no choice but to say this.

"Don't worry." Hong Xia clenched her hands, full of confidence: "I will definitely impress my sister."

I hope it's not a shock. If I drop out of school early halfway through, I will definitely be able to surpass the store manager's slacking life.

Ito Rin took a sip of water and turned to look at the stage. A new band had been replaced and the four girls who had performed hard just now were hugging and cheering each other in the audience.

Alas, seeing such a scene makes me feel old. Has he really grown old?

Chapter 155: You said you would support me

One day in July, the long rainy season finally passed, and Ito Rin changed out of the long-sleeved shirt she had been wearing during this period, preparing to welcome the hot summer.

"I heard you guys made your debut?"

"Where did you hear that rumor?"

"Hey, isn't that what all the classmates in the class spread? After all, we have to record a record."

"That's true, but we're still a long way from debuting."

"Didn't you win the championship? Why are you still so troublesome?"

“Because most of the companies conflicted with the band’s original vision, the people they chose to work with in the end were not very strong.”

Ito Rin briefly explained to Shiraki the difference between a record and a debut, then turned sideways to look at Hongxia and complained in his nice voice.

"We won the championship but still have to pay for the album release ourselves. We are just being taken advantage of."

It was completely different from the treatment he had imagined for a champion, and even after a month, he was still talking about it.

If there was any upside, it was that Yamada Ryo immediately stopped his buying spree, but was forced to pay off his debt for the non-refundable instruments.

"Bang, bang, bang." It was the sound of knocking on the table.

He turned his head slightly and Yamada Ryo looked at him unfriendly.

"You have to learn to pay back this month's pocket money with your girlfriend!" The white paper in front of her recorded the debts to be repaid.

"It's all been spent." Ito Rin subconsciously touched the table with her fingers and her tone became lighter.

"What?" Yamada Ryo looked at him in disbelief.

"As for the share of the record, in the end, it was still Hongxia and I who borne the lion's share, and you played no role at all," said Ito Rin.

“……” Yamada Ryo rubbed his forehead, feeling that he had been cheated.

Shouldn't selling records be the first step for musicians to get rich? Why is it that for them, things are going in the opposite direction?

Ito Rin looked to the front and saw Hongxia flipping through the textbook in her hand.

When the decision was made to come down and pay for the record sales, everyone agreed, but the backbone was undoubtedly the captain.

Due to the hot weather, the yellow jackets that were commonly seen these days have disappeared, leaving only the school's summer uniforms.

She was wearing an open-fronted sleeveless thin sweater with a beautiful red tie at the collar. Her figure was not too wavy, which gave her the innate advantage of passing herself off as a boy.

"They both look very suitable for each other." Ito Rin thought wildly.

Being stared at by them, Hongxia put down her textbook and looked at Yamada Ryo with her beautiful eyes in confusion.

"You have a question?" she asked.

"I'm hungry." Yamada Ryo hugged her arms pitifully, rubbing her plump breasts against them.

Ito Rin couldn't tell whether she was acting like a spoiled child or showing off her assets without making a sound.
