I just want to take photos of them.

The girl whom Iori Ayako called Kokoro-chan tried to lecture her seriously, but she gave up the idea in the end because of Iori Ayako's silly smile and smiled gently instead.

"I just happened to meet someone I know on the way, and we got quite engrossed in the conversation, so I came back a little late."

At this time, Xu Mo and Carol happened to walk over, and the girl also noticed the two people who followed Iori Ayako.

"Ayako's acquaintances... Does Ayako have other acquaintances besides me?"

"In fact, this is only the second time we've met today, but for some reason, we've become familiar with each other."

Iori Ayako touched her bangs embarrassedly.

"Then Ayako, please introduce me to the two people next to you."

"Mmm Good."

"His name is Xu Mo, and he's also a student at our school. The super cute little girl next to him is his sister..."

"It's Carol~"

Carol at the side spoke again, and the girl also greeted Carol with a smile.

"Xin-chan's full name is Xia Xin, and she's my best friend!"

After Ayako introduced Xu Mo and Carol to Xia Xin, she also briefly introduced Xia Xin to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo and Xia Xin simply shook hands, which was considered a simple acquaintance.

"So Ayako, you are now preparing for the live performance~"

Xia Xin said in disbelief as she looked at Iori Ayako who was extremely embarrassed.

After the people got to know each other, Iori Ayako briefly introduced the current situation to Xia Xin. Xia Xin was puzzled by the fact that Iori Ayako was willing to become a contract artist for this strange handsome guy whom she had known for less than a day just for the sake of that guitar. What surprised her the most was that Iori Ayako was actually going to try to perform live.

You know, this is not the first time that she and Iori Ayako have come here to perform outdoors. Since they met, they have come here almost every night. The reason is, of course, because of Iori Ayako's personality.

Ayako Iori's skills are very good, but if she performs in public, she will be so nervous that her whole body will tremble and she won't be able to play a single note. So, in order to help Ayako Iori overcome this difficulty, Xia Xin decided to take Ayako Iori to perform outdoors regularly until she is desensitized.

Unfortunately, Iori Ayako has not overcome this problem until now. She can only record singing videos and upload them to her personal account for the audience to watch. Moreover, Iori Ayako is now somewhat reluctant to continue performing. In the recent period of road shows, Xia Xin has been completing them alone.

That's why Xia Xin was surprised that Iori Ayako took the initiative to say that she wanted to perform live. Could Ayako really do this for that guitar?

"Ayako, are you really not going to prepare for some time before completing the assessment?"

In front of Xu Mo, Xia Xin did not directly point out Iori Ayako's flaws. After all, she also wanted her friend to live a better life. So, she used a more tactful method to remind Iori Ayako: "It is totally impossible to take the test now. Are you really ready to continue?"

"Student Xu Mo said that it can only be done now. Besides, Xinjiang should be very clear about my situation, and nothing will change if I wait for a while."

Xia Xin could only sigh endlessly at Iori Ayako who blew herself up on the spot.

“So, can we play it live now?”

Xu Mo put forward his request. He would not give Iori Ayako a break just because she was pretty. He needed a new artist with unlimited potential, not a vase that would break at the slightest touch.

"Yes, but I hope you can agree to one condition, Mr. Xu. This is a personal request from me, and you can definitely refuse it, but I hope you can consider it."

"Go ahead, I'll listen first."

"I also want to apply to join your company. I want to join with Ayako as a team. So, I hope that this assessment will be for the two of us to play together."

Xu Mo saw that Xia Xin was helping Iori Ayako. She tied Ayako to herself so that even if Iori Ayako made a big mistake, she could help cover it up. But for the sake of friendship, is it really okay to be so reckless?

Chapter 94: The First Three-Star Blessing

Xu Mo looked the girl in front of him up and down. Xia Xin was wearing a white shirt with a black sleeveless top, a blue knee-length skirt, a pair of white socks on her smooth legs, and a pair of red sneakers on her feet.

Only then did Xu Mo notice the girl's delicate face. Her middle-parted bangs slightly covered her slender eyelashes. Her dark eyes were bright and clear, shining like stars. Her single ponytail was not tied behind her head as traditionally, but slightly shifted to the right, but not to the side ponytail.

Xu Mo suddenly thought that he could form a beautiful girl band. As long as Iori Ayako and Xia Xin's skills were not too bad, their development prospects would basically not be too bad. As long as the two of them were willing to work hard and with his guidance, the two of them would not encounter any difficulties in terms of technology.

"Okay, I agree to your request. The next test will be performed by the two of you together."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for accepting my willful request."

After Xia Xin greeted Xu Mo slightly, she turned around, took Iori Ayako's hand, and walked towards the place where she had just tuned her guitar.

"Ayako, since you are going to take the initiative to apply for a live performance this time, you must be extremely brave. You can't just run away like before."

Xia Xin was really distressed when she thought of the previous performances where Ayako Iori put down her guitar and ran away from the scene because she was too nervous. In order to prevent Ayako Iori from running away from the scene due to stress during this assessment, Xia Xin had to give Ayako Iori a shot in advance. She had done her best to help Ayako Iori pass this assessment, and the success or failure of the next step would depend on Ayako Iori herself.

"I will definitely not run away this time..."

Xia Xin clearly heard the lack of confidence in Iori Ayako's tone, and sighed helplessly:

"Ayako, just do your best."

Xia Xin turned around and took out another electric guitar, connected it to the speaker with a transmission line, and handed it to Iori Ayako. Then, she sat on the drum stand next to her.

"Ayako, which song are you going to play?"

Xia Xin first tapped the drums a few times to test the response, then turned to ask Iori Ayako who was already nervous. Iori Ayako was holding a guitar and stood in front of Xia Xin's left. The crowd saw the two people standing in the performance position and thought the performance was about to begin, so they gradually formed a circle around them. Since Iori Ayako stood in the leading role, most people's eyes were focused on Iori Ayako.

"Just play the song I showed you a few days ago, Kokoro."

"A few days ago? Was it the song "Love Without End"? But, Ayako, didn't you just talk about that song two days ago? Don't you really need to choose a song you are more familiar with?"

Xia Xin looked at Iori Ayako solemnly, worried about her bold decision.

"Well, Xinchan, I have decided that I want to play this song."

"Okay, I respect your decision, Ayako."

The two of them started to take their positions. Xia Xin was very stable. Although she had only practiced for a day or two, this song only required a few drums. She was familiar with it in two or three hours, so she had no pressure at all. Iori Ayako was trying hard to maintain her playing posture. Although her body was still shaking slightly, it was not easy to see if you didn't look closely.

As the prelude sounded, Xu Mo recognized the song they were going to play. It was the song he had played for a test at the guitar shop that day, "Love That Cannot Be Reached". Xu Mo was very surprised because he had only played it once in front of Iori Ayako and had not given her the score. She could actually reproduce the score of the song with her hearing and play it. Although some details were indeed missing, it was already amazing. How many people can basically reproduce the score of a completely unfamiliar song just by listening to it once?

Iori Ayako is indeed very talented, and it is a rare talent. Xu Mo silently took out the Dingfen instrument and used it on Iori Ayako who was playing.

『Name: Iori Ayako』

Age: 20

『Intimacy: 88』

『Overall score: 99』

"Possessing rare items: None"

『Possessing blessings: One-star blessing "Absolute Pitch" (greatly improves the perception of the rhythm and melody of the song), three-star growth blessing "Intoxicated Sinoe" (when falling into the "absolute immersion" performance state, it can affect the emotions of people within a certain range around.) (Status: Level 0)』

"Evaluation: A beautiful girl born to play musical instruments, with the ability to infect people with emotions like Sinoe. Overcoming psychological factors is the key to a girl's maturity. A little-known musician is only one level away from becoming the god of the peerless musical instrument."

After Xu Mo saw the blessing of "absolute pitch" that Iori Ayako possessed, he dispelled his surprise that Iori Ayako could not reproduce the love score in a short time. But then, Xu Mo fell into a greater surprise. Since obtaining the system, Xu Mo saw the so-called highest-level three-star blessing for the first time. Moreover, Iori Ayako should have that special three-star blessing. The three words "growth type" indicate that this blessing can be continuously upgraded.

Xu Mo carefully read the effect of this three-star blessing. It can actually affect the emotions of people around. It is worthy of being a three-star blessing. The effect is really unreasonable. If it is upgraded to the highest level, can you play a song at random to affect the emotions of everyone in an area? If so, this ability is a mobile nuclear bomb. If you want to play a negative song directly there and spread it through the loudspeaker, the whole area will probably riot. But at present, Iori Ayako's ability is only level 0. Combined with the evaluation, this means that it should not be awakened yet.

Now Xu Mo had no choice but to accept Iori Ayako. Such a beautiful girl could not be let go. In order to protect the safety of the world, Xu Mo had to sacrifice himself and serve as Iori Ayako's caretaker. Xu Mo was now thinking about how to trick Iori Ayako into signing a permanent employment contract.

"Brother Xu Mo, your expression is so scary..."

Carol was frightened when she saw Xu Mo's malicious look.

"Ahem~ Is that so? Carol, you must have seen it wrong just now. Maybe the light here is a little dim."

"Is that right?"

After Xu Mo saw that Carol was fooled by him, he focused on watching the performance of Iori Ayako and Xia Xin.

In the prelude, the two performed very well together. But before the climax, Iori Ayako started to make mistakes, and it was a very obvious low-level mistake of playing the wrong notes. Even people who don't understand music can hear the mistakes of the performers.

Xu Mo squinted his eyes and observed Iori Ayako carefully, and found that her hands had begun to shake violently and uncontrollably, and her expression looked extremely frightened.

Xu Mo muttered quietly:

"It seems that Iori Ayako's psychological problems have already taken effect."

Chapter 95 Are you awake? Congratulations, you are now my employee

Xia Xin, who had just finished playing her part in the music score, took the opportunity to look towards Iori Ayako.

At the beginning of the performance, Xia Xin was relieved to hear that the melody played by the guitar was as stable as in normal practice, which showed that Iori Ayako could hold on. However, when the song was about to climax, Xia Xin clearly heard that Iori Ayako made several mistakes in chords and even did not play some tones correctly.

"I...can't hold on any longer."

Iori Ayako was in great pain at this moment. Her patience had reached its limit and she began to sweat all over. The fear in her heart made Iori Ayako feel that the people around her were waiting for her to make a mistake and then laugh at her ability, just like when she was a child. . .

When the last note of the climax melody fell, Iori Ayako seemed to be shaky and her vision became extremely blurry.

"Ayako!"

Xia Xin saw Iori Ayako about to faint and screamed. Fortunately, Xu Mo, who had been paying attention to Iori Ayako, immediately started blessing her and instantly flashed to Iori Ayako's side and successfully took Iori Ayako into his arms.

"Xu...Mo...classmate?"

The moment before she fell into coma, Iori Ayako saw Xu Mo's face.

Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Mo catch Iori Ayako, then immediately stood up and trotted over.

"Student Xu, are you not injured?"

Xia Xin first looked at the unconscious Iori Ayako with concern, then looked at Xu Mo, and after finding that the two had no external injuries, she asked another question.

"It's okay, call 120 quickly, we're going to the hospital now."

"Oh, yes! Mr. Xu, thank you very much. I'll call right away."

"Brother Xu Mo, are we going to the hospital now?"

Carol also looked at Iori Ayako in Xu Mo's arms with a worried look. Although she was not very familiar with this sister, the admiration for Xu Mo in her eyes could not be faked. Simply put, there was one more person she needed to hide from Tang Xinran.

"Carol, I'm so sorry. It happened so suddenly. I will go out with you alone next time."

Xu Mo looked at Carol with a guilty look on his face. Such a cute and sensible little angel, who didn’t fight or make a fuss, and always thought about him. Xu Mo really liked Carol.

"It's okay~ Actually, we've almost finished our walk around the area. Also, I won't tell Sister Xinran about this."

While answering, Carol also made a joke, which made Xu Mo laugh and cry.

Xu Mo picked up the unconscious Princess Iori Ayako, and then rushed to his car with Carol. Xia Xin briefly explained the situation to the commotion around her, dispersed the spectators, and left the equipment where it was.

--------------

In the inpatient ward of the Central Hospital, Xu Mo and Xia Xin stood in front of the bed, listening to the attending doctor talk about Iori Ayako's physical condition.

"Don't worry, the patient just fell into a coma due to excessive emotion. It's nothing serious. He can be discharged after he wakes up."

The female doctor's words made Xu Mo and Xia Xin put their worries aside. After the doctor left, the two sat side by side beside the accompanying bed. Xu Mo turned his head to look at Carol who was sleeping soundly on the bed, pinched her cheek lovingly, and then tidied the corner of the quilt for Carol.

It has been several hours since Xu Mo sent Iori Ayako to the hospital. It is now one o'clock in the morning. Xu Mo paid the medical expenses for Iori Ayako's emergency treatment. Xia Xin, who rushed over halfway, said she wanted to return the money to Xu Mo. Xu Mo refused Xia Xin on the grounds that "I don't know the total cost yet, I'll wait until I'm discharged from the hospital."

During the examination, Carol couldn't hold on and felt a little sleepy. After Xu Mo accompanied Carol to sleep on the accompanying bed, he and Xia Xin continued to accompany Iori Ayako for the examination.

"Xu Mo, after this is over, Ayako and I will really thank you. How about we have a meal together?"

Xia Xin, who looked tired, turned sideways and looked at Xu Mo beside him. Today's experience made him feel that Xu Mo was really reliable and a boy who made people feel safe. It was no wonder that Iori Ayako had a good impression of Xu Mo.

"You don't have to say thank you. I've heard you say it many times today. I agree with you treating me to a meal. After all, some practical benefits are better than verbal thanks."

"Pfft~"

"Student Xu Mo, you are so interesting."

Xia Xin covered her mouth with Bai Zhe's palm and laughed sweetly. Xu Mo was obviously not interested in material things, but he acted like a materialistic person. It was really not convincing at all. . .

"Also, regarding the assessment..."

Xia Xin believed that she had definitely failed this assessment. After all, no boss would accept her employee fainting on stage. If that was the case, then why would she sign a contract to become an artist?

"Although I know that both of us did not pass, I hope that after Ayako wakes up, Xu Mo can tell her the test results in a tactful tone. Ayako is actually quite introverted. If your tone is a little harsh, Ayako might be very sad."

Xia Xin really cares about Ayako. She witnessed a girl who left her hometown to prove herself. Her introverted personality made her always alone in school. At first, Xia Xin took the initiative to make friends with Iori Ayako because she felt sorry for her, but after getting to know each other, she found that Iori Ayako was really amazing. If it were her, she would definitely not have the courage to do such a thing. Although Iori Ayako has a soft personality, she is very strong inside.

"My favorite thing is to say no to those who think they are right. So, you should understand what I mean."

“Is that so…”
