Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"Put up an ad. There are usually a lot of bands that come to Fanxing. If we don't consider the level, maybe we can find enough candidates before that day."

She had no objection, so she decided on the first idea.

When it was nine o'clock in the evening and only a few of them were left in the store, Ito Rin picked up the newly drawn advertisement with satisfaction.

The blue background and the conspicuous black handwriting exaggeratedly stated that the Starry Christmas Party needed the participation of a band, and the duration would be unusually long.

You can sign up from October to December.

"The painting is ugly." Hong Xia was not very satisfied with the painting.

Ito Rin proudly held up the flyer and said, "That's why you don't understand. As long as the content is explosive enough, the picture is not important at all."

"The content is average too." Hong Xia pinched her chin: "I thought you could come up with some confusing title, it's really disappointing."

"It's shameful to use such a catchy headline. I think it's already quite tempting."

As he said this, he took the glue that Hongxia handed over to him.

Find the place where Fanxing usually posts advertisements, stand on tiptoe, and post it in the center.

"Done." Ito Rin patted the dust off her hands. "It took me an hour to complete the task."

"You took the painting job on your own initiative, and you're not happy when I wanted to help." Hong Xia said helplessly.

“It is because of my courage to challenge my weaknesses that I can become stronger and stronger.”

"So you challenged cheating twice in a row?" She walked behind, closed the door of the stars, and said coldly: "Then tell me, what did you learn from this?"

"If you want to find a girlfriend, you have to be thick-skinned?"

"Don't you want to have a handsome face?"

"I actually don't think I'm that handsome, especially compared to my talent."

“……”Hong Xia looked at him silently.

"Yes."

Not wanting to bother with him about such meaningless topics, the two of them walked towards home.

"If I trouble you with everything and don't pay you, wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Hong Xia suddenly said.

"Pay salary? No problem. It doesn't need to be too much. Hongxia's income this month will be enough." Ito Rin said.

Hong Xia put her hands behind her back, rolled her eyes at him, and pointed to the still-open store on the corner: "I'll treat you to dinner."

"Wait." Ito Rin muttered in disbelief, "Is it possible that all the work I did was only worth a dinner? And it's at a fast food restaurant on the street!"

He didn't mean to discriminate against fast food restaurants, but he always felt that how could his own labor be despised like this!

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I can save some money."

"Stop, let's go in quickly. If we're late, there might be a discount."

Full of resentment, Ito Rin hopes that through such actions, her wallet will suffer heavy losses, which seems a bit foolish and naive.

There were not many customers in the fast food restaurant in the middle of the night. When they walked in, the clerk at the counter was already preparing to go off work.

They ordered two bento boxes at 500 yuan each. When they were served, Ito Rin's face was full of regret.

"So much!" He was hoping to eat more to make Hong Xia feel painful.

"Maybe they won't be able to sell out soon." Hong Xia looked at the heavy dishes on the rice with satisfaction, "Just like when you often go to the convenience store at night, aren't the bento boxes also on sale at that time?"

"Completely different concept, this is worth two servings."

"I saw you were quite hungry just now, come on."

Another person pushed the door and walked in at the small street fast food restaurant.

Three girls who looked like high school students, with musical instruments on their backs, chose to sit at a table not far from them.

There were three of them, but they only ordered two bento boxes. Even so, they were still pushing the order to each other, as if they couldn't finish the food.

Ito Rin opened his mouth wide and forced himself to eat the thick slice of meat covering the rice. The greasy feeling of the fat filled his mouth. If it weren't for the delicacies left, he would have been full.

"It seems like you like it very much." Hong Xia smiled and picked up the chopsticks and put her portion of meat over.

Ito Rin stared at the piece of meat that suddenly appeared with serious eyes, looked at her, and then looked at the table.

Maybe he didn't want to eat it, so he picked it for himself.

"No." Hong Xia chewed the food in small bites. "I saw that you liked it very much, so I sent it to you."

She didn't want to eat the part with so much fat, but she didn't want to waste food, so she had to ask Ito Rin to do it again.

"Hongxia-san." Ito Rin took a sip of herbal tea and looked at her seriously: "Does this count as an indirect kiss?"

"Don't worry, my mouth hasn't touched it. If there is any connection, it was only touched by chopsticks." Hong Xia said without raising her head.

"That's fine, since you're using it now anyway..."

Before he finished speaking, the pair of chopsticks were thrown into the trash can, and Hong Xia calmly took out new chopsticks.

"Can we be quiet now?"

"No problem." Ito Rin silently gnawed the fat meat, "It's wrong to be picky about food."

"Don't worry, my nutrition is balanced."

The girl in the band next to them burst into sweet laughter, startling them and the shop assistants who were getting ready to get off work.

When they realized they were discovered, their faces immediately turned red and they lowered their heads and talked in low voices.

This scene made Ito Rin think of a lot.

"Doesn't she look like Pochi-chan?" Hongxia, who had the same idea as her, lowered her voice.

"The way we prepared is very similar to what we did last year." Ito Rin corrected after finishing the fat with difficulty.

"Missing a boy."

"Hey, gender doesn't matter. What matters is the band's high spirits."

"But when you first joined the band, weren't you thinking about slacking off all day?" Hongxia's eyes seemed to be smiling, exposing Ito Rin's past.

“People always change. After I really recognized the band, I made as much effort as anyone else.” He ate his meal with big mouthfuls of confidence.

Seeing how hungry he looked, Hong Xia sat up straight and looked at him seriously, thinking that he looked very handsome like this.

"I suddenly thought of a question." Hong Xia asked, supporting her head.

"What?" Ito Rin raised her head and glanced at her, then continued to eat.

"Didn't she allow you to be with Pochi-chan and the others?"

"Well...how did you know?" Ito Rin was very sure that he had never revealed any information in this regard.

He was already very satisfied that Liang Jiang could make such a huge concession, so there was no mistake in those conditions.

"She told me that herself, don't interrupt."

"What's the problem?" He could no longer figure out what Liang Jiang was thinking.

"In the future, if Ryo is against Pochi-chan, who will you help?" The red eyes, as dazzling as gems, were full of curiosity.

"…Why does this question seem familiar to me? Was it the version where the girlfriend and mother fell into the river?" Ito Rin complained.

"I can't help it. Others only have one girlfriend, but you have several. So don't bother your aunt to attend the meeting. Just tell me the answer quickly." Hong Xia urged, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else."

"You are the only outsider in this matter."

"No matter what, I am their best friend, so how can I be considered an outsider?"

"Protect against fire, theft and besties?"

Seeing her lower her head to find tools to teach her a lesson, Ito Rin quickly became serious and said honestly: "I should help Pochi-chan."

"What an unexpected answer." Hong Xia was really surprised, "I thought you would just mindlessly choose the side of Liang."

"You know her personality. Even if there's nothing wrong, I still want to teach her a lesson occasionally. And between the two of them, it's hard to imagine that the problem lies with Pochi-chan."

"That's right." Hong Xia nodded in agreement: "Remember to keep a close eye on her and don't ask my Pochi-chan to borrow money, otherwise she will definitely default on the debt."

"Your home?"

"It's from the Ijichi family. Do you have any objection? Ijichi Ichiri sounds so nice. Oh, if I really had a cute sister like Pochi-chan, I wouldn't be the youngest child in the family." Hongxia put down the cutlery and began to fantasize.

"Then I will be beaten to death by the manager." Ito Rin said with a smile.

Hongxia also laughed, which was tantamount to agreeing with his statement.

Chapter 191 I thought you would be abandoned

In the wind band's activity room, Kumiko was directing the band members' practice.

The cute girl who was ignorant at the beginning has now become a senior who is capable of standing on her own feet and is trustworthy, which makes Ito Rin and others very happy.

"Director, someone is looking for you." A member of the wind band who was practicing musical instruments in the corridor ran in with a red face.

"Hey, hey, hey, Hazuki-chan, are you being bullied?" Kumiko spoke loudly, and when she saw the club member's face was so red, she turned sideways and looked outside.

When she found Ito Rin standing in front of the door, she coughed majestically, ordered them to continue practicing, and walked out alone.

As soon as I went out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful. It was a nice experience to have some outsiders coming occasionally during the boring practice process.

"Senior!" After arriving at the corridor, Kumiko's voice became cheerful. It seemed that pretending to be mature was also a kind of constraint for her.

"You guys made it to the national competition?"

Ito Rin has not been paying attention to the situation of the wind orchestra club, but seeing that they were still training hard in October, it is likely that they have not yet finished their competition journey this year.

"Don't look down on us like that!" Kumiko waved her fist angrily, her fluffy bob hair shaking. "After all, we won the silver medal in last year's competition. If I don't even get into the competition, people will laugh at my poor management."

"Minister Kumiko is awesome, Minister Kumiko is awesome!" Ito Rin cheered her on seriously, only to be met with a cold stare from the other party.

"Forget it. What do you want from me? Senior, you can remember a weak, pitiful and helpless junior like me. You must have something to ask for help. After all, you rejected me so cruelly the last time I asked you to help me with some advice."

In the October sunshine, they stood in the corridor of the club building, chatting like good friends.

Ito Rin listened to Kumiko's complaints and her desire for the gold medal in the competition and applauded her. But facing her inquiring eyes, she felt a little embarrassed to tell the truth.

"Are you free on Christmas Day?" Try testing the waters first. If you have plans, then go for it.

"Eh?" Kumiko covered her already small breasts cautiously, her bob hair standing on end. "What do you want to do? Shouldn't we spend such an important time as Christmas with our lovers or family?"

Then his speech speed suddenly increased, accompanied by violent hand movements: "Although the senior is indeed very good and we had a lot of fun chatting, I just treat you as a good friend. Besides, Ito senior also has his own girlfriend, so it is more appropriate to spend Christmas with his girlfriend!"

"You're right." Ito Rin nodded in agreement.

"Huh?" Kumiko looked at him in confusion, thinking that her words had worked.

"So I plan to invite you and my girlfriend as well."

Kumiko opened her mouth and muttered to herself, "Yamada-senpai is so open-minded."

Ito Rin almost laughed out loud, not knowing whether Kumiko was playing dumb or not, and told the truth: "Not only you, I will also invite everyone else who has finished the band, and there may be outsiders as well."

"…This is definitely not a date." She finally came to her senses.

"What are you thinking about? There are many fun things to do on Christmas besides dating, like holding a big party for the store manager."

Ito Rin told her that it was also the store manager's birthday that day, and Hongxia planned to hold a grand party for her sister to celebrate her 31st birthday.

"Since I can't find anyone, I'm just going to trouble you, Kumiko."

"Wait, is thirty-one a special number?" Kumiko wondered.

It is neither an integer nor a special number, so I really don't see anything worth celebrating.

"Because the store manager is very sensitive about age. If I celebrate my 30th birthday, she will misunderstand me."

"Oh~" She responded with a confused look, but she probably still didn't understand why she was no longer sensitive at the age of 31.

"Don't worry, Yuna and I will be there. The two of us are enough to put on a perfect show."

"She hasn't dumped you yet, that's good news." Ito Rin said with a smile.

"What are you thinking? We are supposed to be good friends forever, how could she abandon me?" Kumiko glared at him.

"I just think that you two have completely opposite personalities, and I thought that sooner or later, Yuna-san would be unable to tolerate your outrageous personality."

"Hehe, it's better if we are completely opposite. If we have the same personality, it will be so boring to be together. Since you are going to invite us, remember to prepare more delicious food." She said cutely.
