Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

After walking for a while, they passed through an unnamed alley. The surface of the wall was a bit mottled, revealing the cement wall inside, which aroused Kita Ikuyo's interest.

"Look everyone, why don't you take a picture here? It feels very rock and roll."

Ms. Guiqulaixi, please don't follow Xieliang and try to put everything into rock music.

Before Ye Mu could say anything, Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up and he agreed first:

"Indeed, dim lights, forgotten alleys, with a hint of decadence and world-weariness, this is rock and roll."

Hopeless!

Ye Mu looked at Yi Di Zhi Hong Xia, expecting her to stop the two of them, and after the latter felt Ye Mu's gaze, she showed a devil-like smile:

"Indeed, let's take a picture here now."

Archangel Hongxia has also become a bad person.

Ye Mu sighed, but actually shooting here was not torture for him, but enjoyment instead.

Because the alley was so narrow, whether he was shooting against the wall or standing in the middle, he had to stay close to the girls, otherwise someone would be squeezed out of the shot.

"Are you ready for your pose? You have 10 seconds to get ready."

After putting down the tripod and setting the time-lapse, Ichichi Hongxia jumped up and down and squeezed into the camera.

Click~

Ijichi Hongxia took down her cell phone and several girls gathered around her, wanting to have a sneak peek.

"How about it?"

Seeing that no one was talking, Ye Mu rubbed his face, which was a little stiff from smiling, and moved over curiously.

"Well, the effect is so-so, a little too crowded."

Kita Ikuyo spoke up.

"Hongxia, why are you putting your hands on this guy's shoulders? That's a bit too intimate."

Chapter 42: Photo Taking (Part 2)

Yamada Ryo had sharp eyes and immediately discovered something that surprised everyone.

What? Ye Mu tried to look at the screen through his drooping hair of different colors. In the photo, Hong Xia was smiling with him and putting her hand on his shoulder, which made them look like a perfect couple.

"It's too crowded. I'm afraid someone will be out of the camera."

Ijichi Hongxia stuck out her tongue and answered playfully.

"Let's find another place."

There is definitely a problem!

When the others heard that Yijichi Hongxia deliberately changed the subject, they all started to grumble in their hearts, and little Bochi was even more alarmed. He secretly decided to stand next to Ye Mu next time he took a photo.

Afterwards, the band took photos together outside the window of a music store and next to posters at the door of a used record store, but the photos were not very satisfying.

"You guys should take another photo with a cool expression like me, to show that we are members of a band."

Everyone frowned as they looked through the photos, and Yamada Ryo raised a finger and came up with another bad idea.

"Wow, I think so too!"

As expected, Kita Ikuyo is still a strong supporter of her senior.

When Yidizhi Hongxia was still hesitating whether to play tricks with them again, Ye Mu agreed first: "Okay, don't regret it, let's give it a try."

"This guy Liang is like this, let's give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected results."

Feeling the strange looks from Xiao Boqi and the other man, Ye Mu lowered his voice and explained quietly.

This was a lie. The real purpose was to retreat in order to advance. First, she would follow Yamada Ryo's wishes and take an outrageous photo. Once she felt guilty, she would be more pragmatic when giving suggestions next time.

So, after setting the time delay, they stood in front of the rock poster in the style of the last century again, but this time, they all had tense faces.

When the photo came out, everyone gathered around. After seeing the photo, they were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter at the same time.

There is no need to say much about Xiao Boqi, and it doesn't feel out of place to put his usual gloomy expression in the photo. However, this requirement is difficult for the two girls in the band who love to laugh the most - Hongxia and Kita.

"Hongxia, are you imitating Mona Lisa with this expression?"

Yamada Ryo pointed his finger at the camera, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

In the photo, Ijichi Hongxia looked like she wanted to laugh but was forcing herself to look expressionless, with a tense face and furrowed brows.

The person involved, Ichichi Hongxia, looked embarrassed and her ears were burning, but she immediately found an angle to fight back:

"Look at the photo you forced Kita to take. The corners of his mouth are unnaturally turned down, and his eyes happen to be closed. It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea."

The red-haired girl with her eyes closed in the photo seemed to know that she didn’t manage her expression well at the time. She was still curled up and didn’t look at the photo. When she heard her name being called, she felt a little embarrassed:

"Hongxia, let's delete this photo."

"Of course, but this time you have to have your own opinion and don't always let Liang lead you."

Ichichi Hongxia smiled and dragged the photos to the recycle bin with her camera deftly. Ye Mu, with his back to Yamada Ryo, silently gave her a thumbs up.

"Actually, I do know a place... It seems like it might be okay."

Seeing that no one was talking, Xiao Boqi began to express her opinions cautiously. There was pity and tentativeness in her tone, as if she couldn't continue if anyone spoke.

Although she herself cannot feel it, she has vaguely become the band's favorite, and the rate of adoption of her suggestions is naturally much higher than that of Xieliang.

"Let's go then, lead the way."

Ye Mu smiled and patted Xiao Boqi's shoulder, and the latter subconsciously shrank his shoulders and replied, "Okay, okay."

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, when the group walked around and the surroundings began to become both familiar and unfamiliar, Ye Mu couldn't help but get excited.

It’s another sunny day, another day in Shimokitazawa, and another street park.

The familiar swings, low fences, children's playground, and colorful graffiti on the exterior wall of a residential building not far away, this is where Xiao Boqi and Ye Mu first met.

"It is... here."

Ye Mu muttered to himself.

Ichichi Hongxia was also filled with emotion. After thinking for a while, she tilted her head and looked at Ye Mu: "To describe it using the ancient Chinese term I just learned a few days ago, this is the 'dragon's rise' for the end of the band."

Among the four Chinese language textbooks studied by Japanese high school students, there is one that specifically teaches ancient Chinese: "Classical Chinese - Chinese Edition", so Ye Mu was not very surprised that Hong Xia knew this.

"Haha, I still remember that although you looked calm on the outside, you were definitely panicking on the inside. It seemed like you only listened to me humming a few lines of a song and then directly asked me to be the lead singer."

Ichichi Hongxia didn't feel embarrassed. She stamped her feet lightly and replied with a smile, "But didn't I make the right choice? You know, the performance of you singing lead on the band's account has been played over 100,000 times."

Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo were a little confused at first, but after listening to what was going on, they gradually understood what was going on.

"Ah, I think the graffiti wall over there is nice and has a lot of style. Why don't we shoot there?"

Little Pochi strikes while the iron is hot.

Ijichi Hongxia put down the folded tripod, and with her free hand she touched little Pochi's head: "Okay, how about everyone jump up and take the photo this time? This way the photos will be more lively."

"I'm OK."

Yamada Ryo did feel a little guilty, so she didn't use her creative ideas this time, and Kita Ikuyo also nodded.

"Well... that's fine with me."

After first glancing at Little Bochi's skirt out of the corner of his eye, Ye Mu answered slowly.

Without much discussion, everyone naturally stood against the wall, holding hands.

"Ready, jump!"

Ijichi Hongxia rushed over, stood between Xiao Boqi and Yamada Ryo, and held their hands.

Ending with the first photo of the band, done!

That night, little Boqi's room was filled with the rustling sound of the color printer running.

Hehehe, that's great~

After rolling around on the bed, little Pochi casually picked up a photo from the pile.

Under the gentle light, five people with different hair colors held hands and danced slightly.

They had different expressions. Ijichi Hongxia and Kita Ikuyo pursed their lips and smiled gently and reservedly. Yamada Ryo still had that cool expression, but he was holding a girl in each hand.

And little Bochi's gloomy face seemed to be infected by Ye Mu's sunny smile beside him, and he also showed a little happiness. The most important thing was that the two of them were holding hands tightly.

so good……

Little Pochi repeated the words, his eyes dull as he was lost in happy memories.

The camera zooms out, and the surrounding walls, ceiling, and even the cupboards are covered with densely packed, seamless photos.

Chapter 43: Deadline Warrior Yamada Ryo

As we all know, deadline is the primary productive force. Only when people are in desperate situations can they know how great their potential is.

For example, an online writer, who has a task of 4000 words, only writes a thousand words while slacking off during the day, and the remaining three quarters are completed by staying up late and working hard with his great courage and perseverance, and are completed ten minutes before the full attendance check is settled.

However... this is only generally speaking. There is another situation. When the amount of tasks is far beyond the human capacity, people will become lazy and keep procrastinating.

And dear Ms. Ryo Yamada, the soul bassist of the band and the arranger of the band's "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", is facing the second situation at this time.

After browsing Instagram for who knows how long, Yamada Ryo finally couldn't stand his own behavior anymore.

She made up her mind and threw her phone back onto the bed behind her: "I'm going to get to work!"

Sitting in front of her notebook and tablet, the girl with short blue hair had a firm expression, but this expression only lasted for a second. The next moment, her little face instantly fell.

"It's impossible to complete it!"

Sunday night was Yamada Ryo's deadline. She had to finish composing the song, print it out, and send it to the band members for a tryout.

It was already ten o'clock on Sunday morning, but she had just laid out the bass drum and bass, and had barely touched the guitar.

With his finger clicking on the mouse wheel, the poor music score scrolled to the bottom in almost two clicks, and Yamada Ryo could no longer maintain his cool expression.

She flung herself on the bed, grasped the pillow between her hands and thighs, and began to roll over.

She had rarely shown this girlish side to outsiders. Maybe Hongxia had seen it once or twice, but every time she was discovered, Yamada Ryo would immediately return to her original state.

As he flipped through the pages, his head began to feel dizzy, as if the stress and worries were being shaken out of his body. Yamada Ryo's face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth were gradually smoothing from their downward glance.

"what!"

The girl screamed in pain, stopped moving, and touched her waist - it was the cell phone she had thrown on the bed.

This became the fuse, and all the happiness disappeared. Yamada Liang grabbed the phone with grievance, first complained to Ichichi Hongxia, and then sent a message to Ye Mu:

"Come to my house right now, I really can't compose this song any longer!"

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

An hour later, Ye Mu stood at the door of the Yamada family's luxurious villa with a headache.

The door was closed tightly, and no matter how hard he knocked, Yamada Ryo, who was on the second floor, probably couldn't hear him.

After sending a message asking her to come down and open the door, Ye Mu sighed and started thinking.

First, the war criminals were pulled in. First, the store manager, Ichichi Hoshika, who was guilty of exploiting the workers and the band! It was she who made such a tight and unreasonable schedule that the band had to rush to finish the work in all aspects.

Secondly... the second is Ye Mu herself. She committed the crime of helping the growth of seedlings while suppressing their own will. Not only did she rob Yamada Ryo of her achievements, but now it seems that she may have also wiped out her potential for composing.

Court is in session!

Ichichi Hoshige was sentenced to never finding a boyfriend in her life and to be an older left-over woman, and Ye Mu was sentenced to... labor reform to coach Yamada Ryo in his work.

While he was daydreaming, Yamada Ryo had already walked out of the wooden gate of the villa and was heading towards Ye Mu's courtyard gate.

Today's outfit of Yamada Ryo is much more casual, with a simple pure white short-sleeved shirt and short denim shorts. Her long white legs are exposed to the air, and the white socks on her feet add a bit of life to her outfit.

She doesn’t have the cool and aggressive vibe of a bassist, but rather a quiet, homely literary girl.

Ye Mu's gaze stayed on her for a long time, until Yamada Ryo, who had already opened the door, showed a look of contempt, and then he realized it and looked away.

Ye Mu coughed awkwardly twice, and his tone was still a little unnatural after following Yamada Liang in: "Liang, you look pretty today, um, you have a homely style."

Yamada Ryo, who was walking in front, curled up the corners of his mouth, and it was unclear whether he was happy about the praise or because Ye Mu was amused.

“It’s not that my outfit has a homely vibe, it’s that I’m at home right now.”
