Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

I don't know where all these secrets come from. Don't they know that too many secrets between teams will create barriers?

After the meal, Ito Rin went to pay the bill. Originally, Yuna wanted to pay for both of them, but was stopped by Hongxia.

"Just consider it as offsetting the cost of this trip."

Being able to come to Nagoya for free, and having a comfortable room and the company of classmates she knows, Hongxia feels that this trip is worthwhile at all.

On the way back, the queue that should have been clearly divided was broken up, Kumiko appeared next to Ito Rin, and the steady Yuna started chatting with Hongxia.

From the laughter in front, we can tell that they are very happy.

As they slowly walked to the small park in the shape of a flower bed and looked at the familiar swing, Ito Rin poked Kumiko out of boredom.

“Do you have the confidence to win the gold medal?”

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so blunt, but Kumiko has a big heart and at least is able to withstand blows.

"no!"

"Not so loudly... and not in such a proud tone."

Kumiko rubbed her head and said aggrievedly: "Who asked you to ask? An honest child like me, of course I will say whatever I want to say."

"Are you that lacking in confidence?"

"Kumiko, if you lose your morale like this before the competition, I will punish you if I don't win the gold medal."

"Yuuna, can you bear it~"

"Of course!"

Under her decisive threat, Youmiko stuck out her tongue and calmed down, and in a blink of an eye they were downstairs of the hotel.

The boys' and girls' rooms were not in the same direction. Ito Rin waved and walked upstairs.

“Robbing the landowner!”

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a noise in the room with only four people, which was comparable to the noise after school during the holidays. I didn't know where they found the playing cards.

"Ito is back, do you want to take his place?" the boy with the note on his face said enthusiastically. It seemed that his luck was not very good.

"Don't even think about running away."

Ito Rin walked around the circle formed by the group of guys and was a little surprised at their generosity. They had a competition tomorrow, but they were still playing cards here.

"It's okay, we'll finish on time at ten o'clock."

Only then did he realize that it was just after nine o'clock after dinner. He wanted to read a book to kill time, but he didn't want to stop their entertainment, so he had to put on his shoes and go downstairs to the hotel.

"Clang."

There was a crisp sound of Coke falling from the vending machine. When Ito Rin opened the pull ring and drank it in big gulps with her head raised, she saw Hong Xia, who was wearing a yellow jacket, walking out from the other side of the aisle.

"You can't stand the noise either?" Ito Rin said as she sat down on the chair.

"What?" She looked a little confused.

It seems not.

"Then why don't you stay in your room?"

Most of the books provided by the hotel are magazines for killing time. What's more regrettable is that since most of the guests are high school students, the content is also very healthy.

Ito Rin finally found the magazine that taught wind music, and she could barely read the contents.

"They were so quiet, it was scary."

There is a huge difference between the male and female members of the wind ensemble, so maybe it is a good choice all in all, but he has no way to directly integrate the two, so it is still an unsolvable option.

"What time are you going up?" Ito Rin said as he got her a bottle of water.

"Thank you." Hong Xia thanked him uncomfortably. She usually played such a caring role, and it was quite novel to be treated like this by others. "Ten o'clock, I should be sleeping by then."

"That's not rock 'n' roll so early."

"...What exactly is Ito's opinion on rock music? I heard you keep saying this when we first met." Perhaps because she had just returned to her room, her single ponytail was untied, becoming a more relaxed loose style.

"Anything I can't understand is rock and roll." Ito Rin said frankly.

It sounds like nonsense, but to some extent it is what he really thinks.

At the end of the band, Ito Rin thinks that the most rock and roll people are Yamada Ryo and Pochi-chan. The hidden characters in real life bloom with their own colors on the stage. This is the greatest charm of rock and roll.

So the reason why Hong Xia from Yangjiao joined the band was really due to the influence of family factors.

The lead singer Kita, who was deceived, mainly had impure thoughts.

"I feel like you are just trying to please me." Hong Xia yawned, leaned back in her chair, and kicked her legs leisurely.

"Eh, were we discovered?"

Hong Xia patted him helplessly, then returned to silence and began to think while looking at the beverage counter in front of her.

"Have you finished editing the video? I'll probably be busy when I get back to Tokyo."

Ito Rin thought that her plan had been discovered and she didn't know whether she should speak it out at this time.

No matter how she explained it, she couldn't escape the fact that his arrogance delayed the construction period, and he only dragged her up to help when he couldn't solve the problem.

“We have encountered some minor setbacks on the road of steady progress, which will not interfere with the original plan. However, considering that the end point is not far away, if possible, a little help can bring unexpected gains.”

Hongxia looked at him quietly with a cruel expression, brutal and cold.

"speak English."

“The workload is too heavy. If no one helps, I may not be able to submit the work on time.”

"possible?"

“…High probability.”

Ito Rin resolutely refused to admit that mistakes were bound to happen, and used milder rhetoric to cover up her mistakes.

This is the dignity of a man, ha!

Hongxia's eyelashes trembled slightly, expressing her understanding of this stubborn behavior, then she stroked her chin and looked at the serious Ito Rin.

"Do you need help?"

"If it doesn't delay things, it would be more appropriate for someone to get involved."

"Ito-san, have you ever seen a dead duck?"

"Student Yijichi, I come from the countryside, and I have definitely seen ducks more times than you." At this moment, he still maintained a humble attitude and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Not only that, as long as she lowers her bottom line a little, Ito Rin's methods can still be very diverse.

E.g.

"Besides, the video is the result of the participation of the entire band. You don't want any accidents to happen, do you?"

"You are so despicable." Hong Xia touched her face which was red due to the heating in the hall and retorted weakly.

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. I'm telling the truth. You can't just ..."

He was halfway through his joke when he looked at her and her eyes became honest. In the end, he still needed her help.

"That's right. Come to me if you need anything after you return to Tokyo. If you had given up your unnecessary pride earlier, your mission would have been accomplished." After saying that, her eyes were filled with suspicion. "You didn't bring me to Nagoya just because of this, did you?"

"How is that possible? It was clearly decided long ago." Ito Rin flatly denied such speculation.

Using the time information on her cell phone, Ito Rin returned the book to the shelf, said goodbye to her again in the corridor, and returned to the boys' room.

Ah, the world is finally quiet.

Chapter 6: Only One Goal

October 17th was Friday, the weather was clear and it looked like a good day for the competition.

Aoyama Mako got up from the tatami early and smiled helplessly at the club members who looked so shabby after falling asleep. The pressure was too great during normal times, and he could no longer suppress it when it was time to go to bed.

When she went to wash up in her pajamas, she looked in the mirror, touched her short hair, and recalled the unwilling and lost expressions of her predecessors when she won the silver award last year.

According to the rules of Shimokitazawa High School, students have to automatically withdraw from clubs when they reach the third year. Aoyama Mako, who was then a first-year student, took over the wind orchestra and cut her long hair short to prove her determination.

She didn't want her youth to end with regret.

"The boss is so big!" A playful voice sounded from behind, and Koizumi's hands were restlessly touching Mako's pajamas.

Fortunately, they got up early enough and there were not many people using the bathroom. Otherwise, if the minister and the deputy minister were discovered in this position, it would inevitably cause discussion among others.

"You are getting bolder and bolder." After being touched in a sensitive area, Qingshan Jianzi turned around and pressed the restless classmate on the sink, and the cold water splashed on her smiling face.

"It's so cold." Koizumi touched his face, took off his glasses and wiped the marks on his face.

"This isn't even a punishment. You're making trouble so early in the morning. What if someone sees you?"

She is still very rational. She would not care too much about such things that damage the minister's dignity after the competition, but now is the most critical moment and all uncontrollable factors must be eliminated.

"So fierce, there's nothing wrong with us. It's normal for girls to be so close to each other." Koizumi covered her mouth exaggeratedly and said with a smile.

"It's definitely not a good thing to have anything to do with you. I'm done with the shower and I'm going to wake them up."

Before she started to tease her again, Aoyama Mako put away her toiletries, went back to the room and put on her uniform skirt. When she was buttoning up her skirt, she inexplicably remembered the feeling of being touched just now.

She must have been too tired from the training. She needs to relax after the competition and not play any wind instruments again for at least a month!

After changing her clothes, she woke up the girls sleeping in the dormitory one by one. When it was Hongxia's turn, she found that she had already opened her eyes hazily even though she didn't have to compete. When she saw her coming, she waved in a friendly manner.

"Morning, Aoyama-san."

"Well, shall we go have breakfast? The hotel provides free food."

"If I had known it was free, I wouldn't have gone out to eat with that Ito guy." Hongxia stretched her waist, her cute pajamas were slightly lifted up, and her graceful legs escaped from the quilt.

Qingshan Jianzi nodded, thinking of the confession incident that caused a stir in the school: "You guys have a really good relationship. Is this the charm of the band?"

"Dangdang, the band is such a magical existence, but the wind section is also very good."

They were classmates of the same grade, and Hongxia did not join any club, so she used the tone of a classmate when communicating with Qingshan Jianzi.

"If I have time, I'd like to listen to your performance again. It's getting better now, right? At least the lead singer won't forget the lyrics anymore."

During her first live performance, Kita Ikuyo had only been playing the guitar for a short time, so her performance was inevitably unsatisfactory.

"Don't worry." Hong Xia was embarrassed, but her confidence was also high. "We have performed at other schools' cultural festivals. There will definitely be no problems."

"If Aoyama-san wants to listen, I'll send you a message the next time we do a live show?"

"it is good."

After finishing this act of soliciting customers, Qingshan Jianzi knocked on each door one by one. Listening to the restless sounds coming from inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When it was the boys' turn to sleep in the dormitory, excited shouts were heard from the other side.

"Ito, you are amazing."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring my game console."

"Just watch me do it!"

She shook her head, knocked on the boys' door, and asked them to come down for dinner.

After breakfast, they started moving the musical instruments. Compared to the schools that finished the competition yesterday, it was not sure whether Shimokitazawa High School had gained any advantage. They were more concerned about how many gold medals were awarded yesterday.

The number of gold medals in the national competition is not fixed, but judging from the number in previous years, nine will be selected from thirty high schools. If there are too many on the first day, it will not be a good thing for the schools that follow.

The competition venue in Nagoya is very large. When they arrived, it was already crowded with buses and contestants.

Under the leadership of uniformed personnel, basic order is maintained here and people can enter the venue in an orderly manner.

“There are so many people. It’s so exciting.”

"What's so exciting about this? Come and take a picture for me."

"It's the team from Seikan Women's High School. They are the school that has won seven gold medals."

The surprised voices caught everyone's attention. For Shimokitazawa High School, which had only won the gold medal twice, the number of seven times was too exaggerated.

“Is that the Yodo River over there?”

"There are so many boys, it looks like they are them."

"And there's a sign for Sapporo High School. Didn't they participate in the competition yesterday?"
