Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

Liang Jiang, who was squatting next to her, took a closer look at the drunk bassist after spotting him, and then showed a look of surprise. However, at this time, some audience members had already asked Xiao Boqi about tickets, so it was not convenient for her to suddenly appear to give him a surprise.

"He's actually the bassist of that band. Pochi-chan is so cool." Pulling the corner of Ito Rin's clothes, her tone was full of excitement.

"That band?"

This question that came out of his mouth did not get an answer. After realizing that Pochi-chan had successfully sold the tickets, Ryo took Ito Rin's hand and ran towards them.

"Pochi-chan, and the bassist!"

Pochi-chan, who was reveling in the joy of successfully selling tickets to passers-by, looked up in confusion and suddenly found that the members of the band suddenly appeared in front of her. The feeling of shame of being exposed surged into her heart, making her brain work at high speed.

"What should I do? Should I pretend to be a passerby? If Ryo-senpai is just passing by, I can just give this place to Hiroi-senpai."

"No, it's more convenient to jump into the water and escape. In the summer, Tokyo Bay won't be too cold even if you jump in and swim. Good idea!"

Ito Rin walked up calmly and shattered Pochi-chan's fantasy. He was also deeply pleased with the progress of this socially anxious member. If you want to make friends, you can't just rely on the other party to take the initiative. After all, not everyone can be as popular as him.

"Little Bochi is amazing. He can sell tickets even with a drunk bassist."

Not to mention that Pochi-chan, who would become proud when praised, was already immersed in fantasy, and the drunk bassist over there shouted in dissatisfaction, "Kid, my level is not bad, right!"

"The rhythm is strong and powerful, and the attitude is simple and rough. He is worthy of being a bassist in a rock band." Liang Jiang helped out from the side, and quietly took out a pen and paper to Sister Hiroi, preparing to get an autograph.

"Sure enough, there are still people who know what's good."

It looked like two people with similar interests quickly became friends and started discussing bass.

Ito Rin sighed. Perhaps due to the mutual attraction between the bassists, the two guys got to know each other faster than he expected. Fortunately, the alcoholic bassist looked sober, so he didn't say much.

"Roadshows are not allowed here, please leave immediately." The police officer who had expelled Ito half an hour ago appeared in front of them again. When he found that it was the face he had just met, he was a little surprised.

"Sorry, we'll leave now." Hiroi was used to this kind of thing. After greeting the police officer with a smile, he started to pack up the speakers.

Pochi-chan also came to her senses, hurriedly put the guitar into the box, took out the last ticket, put it in front of her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Dad, Mom, Fan No. 1, Fan No. 2...

Is it really possible that Erli can’t come over?

Let the children be exposed to music from an early age, so that they can realize how great their sister is. And they won't be like now, where they clearly say they want to practice guitar but end up being only enthusiastic for three minutes every time.

"If there's one left, Pochi-chan, is there any classmate you'd like to meet at school?"

"Well, leave the last part to me. This is also a way to thank Pochi for helping me when I was drunk. And you guys are a band with Hong Xia, right? I'm very interested."

Hiroi said carelessly, taking the last ticket from Pochi-chan, and taking out two thousand yuan from his pocket and putting it in her hand.

"Come on, Bochi-chan. I'm optimistic about you. Don't give up on your musical dream. It's getting late and I should go back to Shinjuku." Holding his stereo, the bassist was as cool as a bohemian playboy, ready to ride his own horse to an endless journey.

If the following incident had not ruined the mood, this impression would have remained in Ito Rin and Xiao Bochi's minds for a long time. However, after those careless words about borrowing money, this person seemed unreliable.

"Haha, I used all my money to buy tickets. Little Bochi, lend me some money for the ticket! I will definitely pay you back."

The band's reputation has been ruined by you irresponsible bassists. And Liangjiang, what does that expression of yours mean? Don't target those socially anxious people who are not good at saying no!

Bassist, damn existence.

Chapter 60: Don't retreat on the road to the pinnacle of life

"Stop, today's ensemble ends here. Kita-san, please stay for a moment."

Before the live officially started, the members of the band seized every rare opportunity to train. After the rehearsal, Ito Rin rubbed his temples and stayed as the passionate lead singer.

She and Hongxia are probably the two worst players in the band. Even though Bochi's level will drop rapidly to a very bad level when performing in a group, Ito Rin can still have expectations for her upper limit, and of course will not be too harsh on her technically.

"Ito-senpai..." Kita-chan stuck out her tongue awkwardly, trying to get away with it. However, in front of the ruthless Ito Rin, this little trick was useless.

"As for Kita-san, your singing is no longer a problem, but you still have some minor flaws with your guitar. Are you interested in staying a little longer to train?"

The subtext of his words is that they should hurry up and practice more, at least to a level where they can perform in front of an audience. If they make mistakes again like last time, their band will probably just become a group of high school students playing house.

"Ah, Senior, the exam is coming up soon, and I have an appointment for a cram school."

Kita-chan made a pitiful expression and stated her reasons, hoping to impress Ito Rin.

"It doesn't matter, it's just an exam. How can a cram school compare to me?" He said lightly, taking out a national entrance examination paper from his backpack and handed it to her.

"Wait until the live is over and I'll come and tutor you in person. Do you still have questions?"

Kita looked at the huge 1 on the ranking list and couldn't help swallowing. The complacency he had originally felt for keeping up with the times while playing in a band instantly vanished in the face of such terrifying strength.

In other words, in the joint entrance examination participated by 200,000 high school students from the island country, Mr. Ito ranked first?

This must be fake. How could such a person accompany them to play in a band here?

"No...no more."

Under the shadow of the great god, Kita lowered his head, held the guitar obediently, and began to play repetitive melodies.

"That's good. Liang-chan, you should stay as well and practice your cooperation with the drummer."

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you see me?"

Ito Rin clenched his fists expressionlessly, feeling a little speechless about these idiots in the band. If he didn't manage them, were they going to just live in a daze until the day of the live?

Give me some encouragement!

Anyway, the individual training after the ensemble went on as planned. Liangjiang reluctantly held the bass and winked at the drummer, while Ito Rin moved a bench and sat next to Kita, giving her a sense of oppression.

He didn't talk much, but he was able to point out the key points for every point. For someone like Kita who had not practiced guitar for a long time, he was able to help her find where the problem occurred.

After a few times, the guitar playing became smoother and smoother, and Kita couldn't help but be a little convinced. The dissatisfaction he had when he made a wish with Senior Liang a few days ago also disappeared at this moment, and he sighed in his heart.

"The two seniors are probably the right ones for me, but I still feel a little bit unwilling."

Looking sideways at Ito-kun's serious and handsome face, her lively eyes fell into boundless fantasy, as if in this black and white world, the senior was the only color.

"Kita?"

"Kita?"

"Why are you in a daze!"

After a few calls, Ito Rin finally called back the distracted Kita-chan, shook her head, and expressed her amazement at her generosity.

Judging from her appearance, she had probably practiced enough, so Ito Rin asked her to play the guitar one last time and let the poor lead singer go.

The situation over there was no different, the drummer was still in high spirits, but the bassist was leaning against the wall, dazed.

"Ryo-senpai, you're so cute even when you're sleeping!" Kita still looked at Ryo-chan expectantly, while Ito Rin walked over to Nijigasaki-san's side.

"The practice was good. It would be better if she could pay more attention to teamwork." Ito Rin said.

It seems that sticking to one's individuality will not only affect oneself, but will also unconsciously motivate the people around you. With Liangjiang's pursuit of music and Ito Rin's guidance, Hongxia's drum level has improved rapidly.

"Great, our first live performance will definitely be a great success!" Hong Xia excitedly jumped up from her chair, clapped her hands with Ito Rin, hugged Ryochan's head and shook it wildly, making gurgling sounds.

Women are made of water, but for Liangjiang, this statement has a different meaning.

"Hongxia, are you ready for the band uniforms that you discussed earlier?" Ito Rin packed her schoolbag and asked as she looked at the girls who were still hugging each other.

The day of the performance is coming soon, and in order to pray for good weather, even he was forced to be assigned the task of making sunny dolls. Hongxia had taken the initiative to take on the uniform work, so he couldn't let him down.

For professional groups, it is a good idea to deepen the audience's impression by wearing uniform clothing before they have enough fame. What's more, these girls went to great lengths to organize a party for this purpose, and no one knows what the final product will be.

Hong Xia stopped what she was doing and said confidently, "It's already been done, but the finished products are all at home. Ito, do you want to see them now?"

It was around eight o'clock in the evening. Although it was not very late, it always felt a little weird to go to a girl's house to look at clothes with her.

For example, what would Liang Jiang think?

Well, no matter what she thinks, her watery head will be considered a success as long as it is not broken by Kita.

If you are timid in doing things, how can you lead the band to debut? If you don't debut, how can you reach the peak of your life?

"How about we disband now and I accompany you home?" Ito Rin suggested.

"If Ryo and Kita have no objection, then I have no problem with that," Nijika replied.

Her thoughts were obviously unnecessary, as the two members who had suffered from training had eager expressions on their faces.

"Anyway, that's it. Please be fully prepared for the weekend performance. I'm going to talk to the store manager about the situation. We're dismissed."

"Don't worry, senior. Kita will definitely give full play to his full 120% of his strength! Then all the audiences here will become our fans." Kita, who regained his energy after hearing that the training was over, became energetic again.

"You are the one he is most worried about."

I said, "Liang, don't tell such nonsense. It's not a good sign for the name of our band. Besides, I have to waste my breath to coax my junior sister, which is very troublesome."

"Kita, don't listen to Liang's nonsense, this is just who she is."

Thanks to Hongxia's nth day...Having such a member in the band really makes him feel full of happiness and peace of mind, especially compared with others, which makes the preciousness of Archangel Hongxia more apparent.

Chapter 61: A Little Surprise at Night

At the entrance of the Starry Exhibition Hall.

The few people who left early today had a different team division plan from the past. Kita and Ryo-chan set out on their journey home alone, while Ito Rin, who wanted to confirm the team uniforms, followed Hongxia towards her home.

There was no objection.

Maybe Liangjiang didn't care about such trivial matters, or maybe she trusted Hongxia too much. In any case, after saying goodbye to the manager, they waved and walked away.

On the way, Hongxia took the initiative to break the silence between the two and started talking about the band.

"I remember that you originally joined the band because of Ryo, Ito."

"Ah?" Ito Rin rubbed his forehead, not understanding why she suddenly asked such a question. "After all, she is my cousin. It is really inconvenient for me to refuse her request."

"What about now? If we are left alone because of her again, we will all be very sad."

At eight o'clock in the evening on the street, a girl with a ponytail draped over her shoulders, wearing the uniform of Shimokitazawa High School and a beige sweatshirt on the outside, said with a smile.

In the quiet world, only the lights of vehicles in the distance reminded them not to stay too long in the dark.

Ito Rin was organizing his words to perfectly express the advantages of the band and what attracted him to it. In short, he wanted to make Hongxia think that he was the kind of person who would forget his principles for the sake of beauty. However, Hongxia had already stopped next to a vending machine on the side of the road.

"Ito-kun, would you like anything to drink? It's my treat." Her finger was already on the number card.

"Are you so generous? Then I want the most expensive one." Ito Rin still didn't forget her original intention and gave the answer honestly.

Hongxia retracted her fingers and looked at him with suspicion. Was he swapped by Liang?

"..."

"Coke is fine." Ito Rin calmly withdrew her hand and explained in a steady voice: "I'm not trying to take advantage of anything. I'm just curious about the most expensive drink."

"You're really humorous." Hong Xia nodded, obviously not believing his nonsense.

The sound of objects falling from the vending machine rang out in the night. She squatted down, picked up the two cans of drinks, opened her own can and started drinking.

"Is this the only thing that can be called a characteristic?" Ito Rin held up a Coke, quite puzzled. He obviously had so many advantages, why did Hongxia only discover the most restrained sense of humor.

"Not really. I just don't know why, but when I hear you lying in a serious tone, Ito, there's a strong sense of contrast. It makes me feel very happy. After all, your image is much better than Liang's."

"Isn't that enough? I can play Jack soon. Never mind. The band is now over. Liang is definitely not the reason why I stayed. I can see everyone's efforts."

"That's good." Hong Xia followed his pace and said with relief, "Compared to all kinds of weird relationships, I still prefer bands that strive for the same goal."

Weird relationship? Does it mean the stupid lead singer who covets his seniors, or the socially anxious guitarist who wants to be famous? It can't be him, a keyboard player who is pure in every way.

"To make our debut, to step onto a bigger stage, let's all work hard together!"

Listening to Hongxia's passionate tone, Ito Rin was full of envy. She wished he could be as innocent as she is.

'To be clever is a sin, and I have done it unforgivably.'

With a little narcissism in their hearts, the two came to the community where Hong Xia lived. It was not a high-end apartment, but it was much better than the house rented by Ito Rin.

As soon as I entered the living room and was carefully looking at the decoration style of the room where the sisters lived, Hong Xia beside me screamed. When I reacted, I saw that she had quickly run to the sofa, took two things from it and fled into the bedroom.

It seems to be stockings and black underwear...

I didn't expect that Hong Xia would like this color? You can't judge a girl's hobbies based on appearance.

"Sister is throwing clothes around again. She can't let me save some energy."

Ah, I see. If it's the store manager, then that makes sense.

Ito Rin thought so, and knew very well that there was nothing worth appreciating in the Kanto Plain, but she still glanced away while pretending to study the decoration of the room.

Yes, I admit that my evaluation of the Kanto Plain is biased. This is at least the scale of the hills. And Hongxia, don't be impulsive! Let's talk it out nicely.

"You, what are you looking at?"
