Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"Of course not. During the trilateral talks, I will set my target as a well-known rock musician. If I don't do well in the exam, I will pretend that it was intentional."

When it comes to lowering other people's expectations, Liang Jiang never disappoints.

Chapter 57: Bass, Guitar, and Dog

The next day, Ito Rin gave out the first ticket for free to the mother of the junior high school student he was tutoring!

The junior high school student should just study hard and honestly. Even if he wants to thank someone, he should thank the lady who hired him. But after giving away one card, Ito Rin still plans to get some of the money back.

"Shiraki, do you have time on the weekend?" Ito Rin patted Shiraki, who was reading aloud during lunch break, and said with ill intent.

This guy's self-discipline made Ito feel ashamed of himself and the top few students who were not doing their job properly. Recently, not only did he not waste his class time, he even signed up for a few more cram schools. How come I didn't notice that Baimu was so hardworking in the past few months.

"Yes, do you want to go to the library to review together?" Bai Mu's eyes lit up, he put down the textbook in his hand and looked at Ito Rin, saying hopefully.

After all, no matter how hard I try, I can only make some progress in liberal arts subjects, but mathematics is different. No matter how much I memorize, I still can't do it. It is better to rely on Ito Rin to help explain the ideas.

"No...the band I'm in is having a live show this weekend."

"Tsk, I'm not going." Bai Mu's eyes seamlessly switched to contempt, "My dad said that if I can get into the top 20 in the final exam, he will take me to the Maldives for a trip. I want to see the beauties in bikinis."

I despise you for abandoning your good brother for a bikini beauty. But I also want to see if there is any kind-hearted person who can send me there.

When Ito Rin was lying on the table thinking about life, the door of Class 1 was knocked rudely. There were not many people left in the classroom during the lunch break, and now they all cast curious glances towards the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Liang Jiang remained calm in the face of everyone's gaze. She glanced at Ito Rin who was woken up by her and said, "Come out."

No, why would he come to me at school?

Ito Rin awkwardly cleaned up the clutter on the table, and followed Ryo-chan out of Class 1 amid Shiraki's surprised expression, leaving behind only whispers.

Arriving at the school corridor, Liangjiang, who was wearing JK clothes, curled her hair with her fingers. She was silent for a long time and finally explained her purpose before Ito Rin asked any questions.

"Let's go to the outdoor concert tomorrow and sell tickets. If we bring you along, we won't need a lead singer."

Stop, performing on the street to sell tickets is not Liang Jiang's style no matter how you think about it. She should be more suited to finding a few unlucky people and then selling their tickets.

But this is indeed what Ito Rin intends to do. Limiting sales among relatives and friends will only make the path narrower and narrower. For this reason, Ito Rin even plans to borrow a guitar from her.

Ito Rin asked her own questions and also requested to borrow a musical instrument.

"Ah, that." Liang Jiang crossed her arms in front of her and said wisely, "It's normal for a loner like me to have few friends, so if you want to sell tickets this way, you can only find teammates from the original band. But I think if we meet again, even I will feel a little embarrassed."

After that, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Ito Rin, and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I will go find them."

"Thank you, Miss Yamada, for your thoughtful consideration." Ito Rin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He really didn't want to meet his former teammate.

As a rock band, he didn't mind following the trend for the sake of attention, but he couldn't stand the complicated love triangle among the band members, which even involved him.

The short version is that the lead singer is the guitarist's girlfriend, the drummer likes the lead singer, and after Ito joined, the lead singer fell in love with him too. What kind of late-night youth literature work is this?

After getting a clear glimpse of the band's complicated relationships, Ito Rin decisively chose to withdraw. Not long after, Liangjiang also announced that she had no interest in rock music.

"Come to my house tomorrow to pick up the instrument. Bye."

Liangjiang left in such a cool manner, leaving Ito Rin alone to face other people's curiosity.

The next day.

The bell for the end of get out of class had just rung and Ito stepped onto the line. Before he had time to tell Hongxia and the others that he would not be working tonight, the two male stars in the band had already happily reported their performance.

“I have several classmates who are interested in the live show, so the tickets are sold out.”

"Who has extra tickets? The friends I invited last time are also very interested in this performance."

Do you really have to be that fast? And don't just eat grass in your own backyard, we are an underground rock band, not a campus band!

Fortunately, there is Pochi-chan as the bottom line in the band, which makes Ito Rin feel a little warmth.

"I'm counting on you, Hongxia!"

Ito Rin glared at Liangjiang who was right next to her, and asked her if she could have some principles and why she became so active at a time like this.

After explaining their evening plans to Hongxia, Liangjiang reported the group's sales results: "We sold two tickets, and there are only three left. It's been hard work."

I really don't see how it's hard for you. Is typing considered physical work?

Moreover, this kind of quota is most suitable for the socially anxious Pochi-chan.

After hearing what he said, Liang Jiang said confidently: "It is because she is socially anxious that she cannot give up the opportunity to communicate with others. If she sells all the tickets to her family, how can she make any progress?"

"Yes, yes, Liang-chan is right."

Ito Rin sighed and accompanied her to the villa. At this time, her aunt was already at home. The slim hospital uniform showed off her good figure. Her hair was deliberately cut short for the convenience of work, which made her look particularly refreshing.

"Xiaoliang, the teacher called me. And Rin-chan, will your mother come to the three-party meeting next week?"

Aunt Yamada, who was sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat, doing stretching exercises and listening to TV, turned sideways when she heard the door open and said, "When she found Ito Rin, she asked about Ito's mother's movements with concern."

"Aunt, our class's tripartite meeting has been postponed to the second semester."

While Liangjiang went upstairs to carry the musical instruments, Ito Rin chatted with her aunt, "The teacher said that in order not to delay our review time, this small matter was delayed."

My aunt was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, but when she heard footsteps coming from upstairs, she immediately changed her tone to that of a nagging woman and complained about the inhumanity of the school.

"Your school always treats Class 1 differently from other classes. Xiaoliang, it would be great if you could join Class 1."

Liang Jiang was dismissive of this statement. It seemed that her aunt had often given her stress at home because of this matter, which made her develop an immune physique.

Ito Rin took the guitar case, said goodbye to her aunt politely, and fled in panic under her turbulent waves.

Chapter 58: Someone who is sentimental

Ten minutes after five, at the intersection of Shimokitazawa, Ito Rin set up the equipment, turned on the power, and waited for the right opportunity.

There seemed to be a fireworks display held nearby, which attracted a lot of young people and was of great benefit to their promotional activities. Moreover, after removing the two tickets given to Hongxia, they only had seven tickets left to complete their performance task.

The bassist next to him was already immersed in his own world, not caring about the gazes of passers-by. He just held the bass and started playing it, shaking his head. Fortunately, it was a bass, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

"Liang-chan, stop playing and get to work." Ito Rin interrupted her self-entertainment and took out several printed flyers from her schoolbag.

Yes, it was that abstract-style promotional picture. Although Ito Rin couldn't recognize the image in it, it was a good thing if it could serve as a promotional image.

Liangjiang took off her headphones and turned serious, waiting for Ito Rin to use her social skills to attract passers-by before starting her performance.

After all, she is a cold and taciturn person, so how could she be ruined by such a small matter?

"There will be a band live this weekend. Friends who are interested can try to listen. Thank you very much." Ito Rin is also rich in experience in this kind of publicity to attract attention. After holding the guitar and shouting loudly on the street for a few times, she still attracted quite a few audiences. Some people even stopped where they were curious, waiting for their performance.

But why are they all girls? Could it be that they are attracted by looks again?

Ito Rin smiled bitterly in his heart, but facing this group of audiences who could be developed, he still winked at Liangjiang: "The next song we're going to play is our band's original song. I hope everyone likes it."

Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet, the band's first original song, was created by the collaboration between Liang-chan and Bochi-chan, so it carries a strong Yin-character color of both of them.

Because of this, when Ito Rin first tried it, he was pointed out to be out of tune with the atmosphere because he was too sunny. However, by now, he has overcome this minor problem with his skills.

The deep voice, the dynamic music, and the handsome face of the boy all highlight the high standard of this street show.

Maybe the equipment cannot compare with that of a professional exhibition hall, but this kind of face-to-face close contact is the magic weapon to better impress the hearts of passers-by.

After playing the last note with satisfaction, Ito Rin casually touched his hair and prepared to sell tickets with his guitar in his arms. In this kind of street performance, everyone is open-minded, so there is no need to be shy.

"The ticket price is two thousand, but free drinks are also included. The venue is at the Starry Performance Hall, and the time is this weekend evening. Thank you for your patronage."

Ito Rin took the initiative to talk to the audience who looked like college students standing in front of them. After answering a few questions, the three of them gathered together and whispered to each other. Then the girl who looked like the leader walked up to Ito Rin.

Ito Rin had a premonition that a familiar scene was about to happen again, but before she had time to sigh, she received the other party's money. It seemed that the first performance was a great success and three tickets were sold.

But at what cost?

The college-looking girl shyly glanced at Liang Jiang, who was still standing there holding her bass and acting cool, and said shyly, "Handsome guy, can you help us download your friend's Line account?"

"Of course...no!"

Ito Rin originally thought that it was just another girl who was attracted by his looks and was coveting his body, but he didn't expect that college students in Tokyo would be so depraved that they would not let go of not only boys, but even people of the same sex.

He interrupted the reflexive words and sternly rejected the audience's unreasonable demands. Even though the other party showed disappointment and left angrily, he still maintained a firm look.

But after turning around and looking at Liang Jiang carefully, I began to understand why they did this.

Dear, have you ever considered putting something in front of your chest? Otherwise, it will be really unrecognizable. And don't study boys' clothes every day. If you wear a short skirt with stockings, how can any girl come to me to ask for your line?

The women's blazer is paired with black trousers. This kind of clothing that fully shows off her slender figure is really confusing when worn on Liang Jiang.

Yamada Ryo felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. He lowered his head to make sure there was nothing wrong. Then he saw that there were only four tickets left in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"My mission is completed. I'm going home to rest."

Ito Rin was furious at her irresponsible tone of voice, and grabbed her tail, with a righteous expression: "The three tickets that were sold just now were clearly mine, and the largest share left is still yours, don't think about being lazy."

"You are too shameless. How can you take all the blame on yourself? You should at least give me one."

Amid the complaints, their next roadshow started in time, taking advantage of the packed crowds in Shimokitazawa today. As long as the police were not attracted, the share of a mere seven tickets would be nothing but a drizzle.

However, just as the weather does not change according to human will, Ito Rin, who was still proud of the speed of selling tickets ten minutes ago, was now bargaining with the patrolling police. Fortunately, the other party saw that they were high school students and did not say much, but just asked them to leave quickly and not to block the traffic.

"Damn it! We've just sold out all the tickets and we have to close the stall." Liang Jiang let out a rare sound of indignation while packing up her things.

"It would be nice if we sold out, and there's nothing to do if we stay where we are anyway."

Liangjiang looked at Ito Rin with the eyes of an intelligent person, as if she had found a point of suppression in some aspects.

"We have solved the quota, but Pochi-chan must not have solved it yet. If we work harder here, she won't be embarrassed."

Ito Rin was in awe but also a little confused. Why are the words that Miss Yamada said when she asked Hongxia for help useless now? Didn't they agree to let little Pochi grow up?

"And if we help her solve this problem, she will definitely feel embarrassed to ask for ticket money again. In this way, all the proceeds can be put into my wallet." When Liang Jiang said this, her expression was quite proud, and she seemed quite satisfied with her own intelligence.

Ito Rin silently retracted her thumb, then stretched out a finger, pinched her face and started to get crazy, "Asshole, give me back the feeling I just had, you hateful child of a capitalist."

"It hurts! This is a reasonable allocation of resources!"

Ito Rin was helpless with this fiancée whose head was full of despicable ideas. After letting go of her hand, he reported their progress in the group and found that little Pochi was still in a lurking state, which made him a little worried.

If it really doesn't work, dogs can accept it.

Chapter 59: The bassist, get out of Shimokitazawa!

Due to the successful completion of the sales task, at Liangjiang's strong request, Ito Rin was forced to buy her ice cream.

Then she licked her ice cream and walked leisurely on the main street of Shimokitazawa, but when she saw something that interested her, she would show a longing look.

"Even if it's to prevent you from eating grass, you can't be so excessive." Ito Rin sighed, shook his wallet, and prepared to take her out for a fast food meal.

After all, he is the child of a capitalist. When he has no money, he will consciously look at the stores that look expensive. He is obviously so poor that he has to eat grass to survive, so can't he plan his spending rationally?

Monocytes, so scary.

"There is always a reward for hard work. Don't try to trick me with a cheap dinner... wait." Liang Jiang was showing off in front of Ito Rin because of her achievement in selling tickets, but suddenly she reached out and stopped Ito Rin from moving forward.

"What are you doing?" He complained in dissatisfaction when he was stopped, and the speaker in his hand became heavy.

"Listen carefully, doesn't this melody sound familiar?" Liang Jiang rolled her eyes at him, then closed her eyes and listened for a while, then said to Ito Rin with certainty.

After she said this, Ito Rin paid more attention to the sounds coming from her ears, the hustle and bustle of passers-by, the honking of cars, and the selling sounds of street vendors. These would not be factors that would affect Liangjiang.

So when he heard that familiar rhythm, he immediately knew what he was encountering.

“Guitar and Solitude and the Blue Planet.”

The two looked at each other and spoke in unison, and they both guessed who would be performing on the street at this time.

Hongxia and Kita have both completed their tasks, and the messages in the group prove that they are both working part-time at Fanxing, so after the band ends, the only one who can do such a thing is Pochi-chan.

"Little Pochi has actually grown up. All my efforts have paid off." Liang Jiang wiped her eyes with the corner of her clothes hypocritically, then sneakily stuck her head out, ready to see what the scene would be like when little Pochi performed in public.

Ito Rin shook his head. He felt that if Goto found out that someone he knew was peeking at him, he would become even more shy.

but……

This seems pretty good.

So, Ito Rin easily put aside her psychological burden, followed Liangjiang and hid at the corner of the street, and soon found the source of the sound.

Isn't this the drunk bassist? How come he's hanging out with Goto-san?
