People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

He held the guitar, his fingers gently caressing the strings. He knew so many songs, but he had never sung them.

On the stairs of the teaching building, where the Light Music Club usually stayed, Chihaya Aine pulled Takamatsu Deng up the stairs one step at a time. Takamatsu Deng was somewhat resistant, but also somewhat expectant. She let Chihaya Aine pull her from behind. Seeing the Light Music Club getting closer and closer, Takamatsu Deng couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Why would you ask that of Xiao Deng? Deng didn't sleep all night, practicing his new song? Oh my god, how could you agree to that?" Chihaya Aine kept babbling, furious. Even if it was a joint live and time was tight, you couldn't order someone around like that.

He actually made Xiao Deng stay up all night to practice the new song, causing Xiao Deng to sleep for the whole day.

"That's not the case..." Takamatsu said hesitantly. But Chihaya Aine didn't listen at all. Because Takamatsu spoke too slowly, as slow as a snail, and his voice was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear what Takamatsu was saying at all.

Many times, you can only guess what Gao Songdeng is thinking.

Seeing the door of the Light Music Club getting closer and closer, Gao Songdeng began to get scared. She said weakly,

"But we still have to go to LiveHouse "RiNG". Sushi, Lixi and the others should have already gone there."

"A little time is not a big deal. I've been annoyed with him for a long time and have been looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson." Chihaya Aine folded her hands, held her head high and chest puffed out, not hiding her purpose at all.

"Um, is this okay?" Takamatsu Deng looked up at Aine.

"Just listen to me, come on." Chihaya Aine stretched out her hand. Takamatsu Deng hesitated for a moment, but still gently placed his hand on it.

Inside the light music club, the clear sound of a guitar rang out. At first, Takeda-senpai didn't pay much attention to it because Asagi was practicing. It wasn't until the sound of the guitar began to become a melody, forming a rhythmic beat that Takeda-senpai raised her eyes and looked at Asagi.

Asagi pondered the lyrics. He hadn't sung a song for himself in all his time here. It just so happened that Aine wasn't there today, leaving only him and his senpai in the activity room. So, Asagi suddenly wanted to sing it himself. Even if his singing was terrible, he wouldn't feel shy in front of his senpai.

Asagi opened his mouth slightly, and the clear male voice instantly surrounded the entire club.

Backpack filled with youthful memories

Embark on a journey of growth

Just at this intersection

Don't send me off, just go back

Meet and say goodbye

Everything in the past will never come back

When you are lost

Please believe in yourself like I do

The melodious and clear melody caught Takeda-senpai's eyes. Her pupils widened slightly, revealing a look of surprise. She looked at Asagi, speechless with surprise. She had always thought Asagi couldn't sing, but she had never expected that the child could sing such a beautiful song.

The senior put down her guitar, sat on a chair, and cupped her hands over her cheeks, looking at Asagi with a smile. Her body swayed gently to Asagi's singing. Her eyes held a touch of fondness and nostalgia.

Until Asagi finished singing the entire song, Takeda-senpai clapped her hands gently and smiled brightly.

"I'm really happy to hear Asagi sing." The senior shook her head with an excited expression.

This is a Vietnamese song, adapted by a famous Chinese singer as "The World is So Big, But I Still Met You." Asagi loved it. So, he remade it into a Japanese version and sang it himself. Asagi knew his singing wasn't very good, and when he played the guitar, he didn't handle several variations well. Despite this, the senior student still looked at him happily.

"Haha, now you know my strength. Do you regret giving the position of president to Aine?" Asagi said proudly.

"Didn't Asagi give up on his own?" the senior student asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

"It seems so," Asagi tilted his head and thought for a moment. He had given up on his own initiative. Because he didn't have time to stay here.

At this time, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng were standing outside the door, their hands that were about to push the door stopped in mid-air.

Chapter 265 Can You Sing?

Chihaya Aine was extremely surprised. She looked at Takamatsu Deng and fell silent. At this time, Takamatsu Deng was also hesitant, not knowing what to do, to go in or not to go in. When his arm fell unconsciously, it hit the door, and the door creaked.

Asagi put down his guitar and stared at Takeda-senpai. That must be the door to the activity room ringing. Who else would be here at this hour?

Aine and Tomo were going to the Live House "RiNG" to practice with Suyo, and they had already asked for leave from their senior. As for Nana, Asagi had already asked her, and she seemed to be still busy and couldn't spare time for the club.

"Could it be?" Takeda-senpai's face instantly turned pale, as if she was thinking of something bad. "There's a campus legend that a ghostly girl knocks on the school's doors..."

"Idiot, how could there be a ghost at this time?" Asagi glared at the senior sister in anger. After being seen through by him, the senior sister immediately revealed her true state and said regretfully, "I couldn't scare Asagi. You are really uncooperative."

Asagi left Takeda behind and ran to open the door. When he opened the door, he frowned at the two figures standing outside.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at LiveHouse "RiNG"? " Asagi opened the door and let the two people in.

“Can you still be lazy at this time? The live show is almost about to start.” He asked while making room for Aine and Deng.

When Takamatsu Deng sat down, Asagi noticed that Takamatsu Deng's eyes were a little dazed, as if he had just woken up and was still not quite awake. He was just curious and didn't ask any more questions.

After Chihaya Aine came in, the momentum she had outside the door just now disappeared, especially when she heard Asagi singing in the activity room. For a moment, she felt a trance in her heart, and she was actually so far behind.

"It's all because of what you did to Xiao Deng that caused her to lie in the infirmary for a whole day." Aine said dissatisfiedly.

That kind of thing? What was it? Asagi blinked in surprise. He looked at Takamatsu Touma, then at Chihaya Aine, looking closely. Chihaya Aine's expression was serious, no sign of lying. That's why Asagi felt strange. He had no idea what he had done.

As for what Chihaya Aine said about Takamatsu Deng lying in bed in the infirmary for a whole day, Asagi's gaze finally fell on Takamatsu Deng. Was Deng sick? Asagi couldn't help but wonder.

"Deng, are you sick?" Asagi asked with concern.

Takamatsu Deng shook his head, denying Asagi's words.

"Fine, just a little sleepy."

"Go to bed earlier. There's no need to stay up so late. Your health is still important."

"Yeah." Gao Songdeng nodded.

Then things started to get weird. Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma had nothing to do, yet they came here instead of practicing at the RiNG Livehouse. Could it be that their band was having trouble again? A bad feeling brewed in Asagi's heart.

When Asagi was daydreaming, Gao Songdeng looked at Asagi and suddenly spoke.

"Let's invite Asagi to go with us,"

"? Going? Where?" Asagi didn't understand.

Gao Songdeng raised her head very lightly but seriously, with something very persistent in her eyes, "LiveHouse "RiNG"."

This made Asagi even more confused. Why did he go to the LiveHouse "RiNG"? It wasn't him who needed to practice, it was you who needed to practice. When Asagi was about to decline, Takamatsu Deng spoke again.

"Because 'Gurenhua' was composed by Asagi, but I can't sing it well." Takamatsu Deng lowered his head.

"I tried so hard to sing, I tried so hard. I kept singing and singing, but I couldn't sing well. I'm really stupid. I can't do anything right, and it makes people angry. I don't want to see what happened that day happen again. I lost an important friend and I can never get him back."

That day? An important friend? Asagi still didn't quite understand what Takamatsu Teru had said. However, that didn't stop him from guessing. Takamatsu Teru had never had many friends. Her circle of friends was very narrow, and all her friends combined were just those few.

Among these friends, the one who was important and lost seemed to be that blue figure. Ah, Asagi sighed, Toyokawa Shoko, you are the white moonlight of so many people.

"I'm stupid. If you don't tell me, I won't know what I did wrong." Gao Songdeng hung his head in self-blame.

Asagi seemed to understand what Takamatsu Deng said. She couldn't sing "Gurenjia" well, so she wanted Asagi to help her. In Takamatsu Deng's opinion, Asagi, as the composer, should be the one who knows "Gurenjia" best, and therefore can guide her to sing it better.

However, "Gurenge" was copied by Asagi. He had only listened to the original version many times. If he were really asked to assist Takamatsu Touma, he seemed a little bit unable to do it.

I can only think of a way to refuse. Asagi's face was bitter. This scene happened to be seen by Takeda-senpai who was standing next to him. She tilted her head and looked at Asagi. She seemed to have discovered what was bothering Asagi, so she walked among the few people and put on the posture of a senior.

"Can I help?" Senior Takeda asked with a smile.

"Although I haven't seen the song 'Red Lotus' that Xiao Deng mentioned, I'm very curious. What's the level of the music composed by our Asagi? To be honest, Asagi just amazed me, and it completely piqued my curiosity."

"Can you satisfy me, a senior? I'm really curious and can't help it. I want to take a look as if there are ants crawling on my body." Senior Takeda smiled and stretched out her hand to ask Takamatsu Deng for the song.

Takamatsu Deng looked at Asagi with hesitation, and Asagi nodded to indicate that she should give the song to Senior Takeda.

If Takeda-san is willing to help, that would be great. After all, as a member of the Light Music Club, he's been with Takeda-san for three months now, and he's never doubted her skill. Perhaps she was born for music, Asagi would sometimes think to himself when he saw her playing different instruments.

Takeda-senpai took Takamatsu Touma's phone and opened the sheet music for "Gurenhua," carefully examining the lyrics. Nodding in approval, she began to work on the arrangement. Like most musicians, she first silently went over the melody in her mind, finding the syllable changes and the ebbs and flows. These are the key points in the lead vocal.

"I understand it roughly. Can Xiao Deng please sing it again here?" Takeda looked at Takamatsu Deng.

Chapter 266 Come together

Gao Songdeng nodded gently. She stood there, looking over the music and lyrics for "Red Lotus Flower" once more. After practicing the previous night, she already knew the music and lyrics by heart; this was just a final check.

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the void before her. There was nothing there, yet it seemed as if the music and lyrics of "Red Lotus" were present. Xiaodeng slowly spoke, a clear voice emanating from her lips.

When he heard the first sentence, Asagi frowned slightly. It was not that Takamatsu Deng sang it wrong, but that Deng's voice was indeed quite different from the original singer.

But soon, the wrinkles between Asagi's brows quickly disappeared. He had to praise Takamatsu Deng's ability. Deng was indeed talented enough to be chosen by Toyokawa Shoko and become the lead singer. In just one night, she could sing to this level.

Although the level of her voice is somewhat different from the original singer's, and it also feels different and not as exciting, Xiao Deng's voice has its own unique characteristics. In this world, she is the original singer, and others did not react or resist like Asagi did.

After Gao Songdeng finished singing the whole song,

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.......

The room was filled with applause. Chihaya Aine eagerly grabbed Takamatsu Touma, her face filled with disbelief.

"Xiao Deng, when did you learn to sing this kind of song?" Chihaya Aine's eyes opened wide and round.

At the same time, Senior Takeda was also surprised by Takamatsu Deng's voice. She clapped her hands and nodded continuously.

"Xiao Deng's voice is very unique, with a crisp sound like a wind chime. However, because of this, Xiao Deng's fighting spirit is not strong enough."

Fighting will, this is a bit exaggerated, Asagi looked at Senior Takeda and glanced at her evaluation.

Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine looked at Takeda-senpai with admiration.

"As for 'Gurunge', just straining your voice isn't enough. While your voice will become high-pitched, it will damage your voice, and you won't be able to express your emotions. You can't really express yourself without using all your strength, even if you fall to the ground, your limbs injured and unable to move, but you still have to grit your teeth and fight. In short, that's not enough."

Takeda-senpai narrowed her eyes, her index finger raised to her chest, a teacher's look. But, despite her denial, she was right. Deng lacked the fighting spirit required for Crimson Lotus. Because Takamatsu Deng was a coward.

Beyond that, there's also Asagi's fault. His involvement in Sushi's world caused Takamatsu's moment of glory to vanish. That moment of glory was a crucial step for Takamatsu to break free from her eggshell and step into the outside world. On the stage, Takamatsu spoke, cried, and sang alone. In that moment, her heart was filled with unwavering determination, her will unwavering.

It was this determination that allowed Nagasaki Suyo to return to the team. However, Takamatsu Deng currently lacks that experience.

"Please, senior." With a guilty conscience, Asagi formally asked Takeda-senpai for help. Takeda-senpai was startled by Asagi's expression. She froze, staring blankly at him. Then, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards, a look of smugness written all over her face.

"Since it's a request from a lovely junior, I'll take care of it. But," the senior suddenly said, her face becoming serious, "I can't guarantee the final outcome. Don't blame me when the time comes."

Asagi nodded, assuring the senpai that she wouldn't.

In the end, Takeda-senpai was dragged to the LiveHouse "RiNG" by Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma, and because of this, Asagi was able to escape.

After school on Wednesday, Asagi came to the club. Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng had arrived early. Asagi was very surprised because they were supposed to go to the LiveHouse "RiNG" for a live performance today. Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng saw Asagi come in and immediately said,

"Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you."

Asagi looked at Chihaya Aine in surprise.

"LiveHouse "RiNG", you're not coming? This is what you asked for, Asagi." Chihaya Aine opened her big gray pupils and looked at Asagi with some resentment.

"Oh, by the way, Takeda-senpai has to come too." She tilted her head, put her index finger on her cheek, and looked like she had suddenly realized something.

"? I see." Although Asagi was surprised, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the LiveHouse "RiNG" and see how their live performances were received.

"Hey, do I still need to go? I've already given the method to Xiao Deng." Takeda-senpai was a little reluctant, as if she still wanted to stay in the activity room. But Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng didn't give her any reason to refuse, and pulled her out of the school together.

Asagi had been to the RiNG Livehouse many times before, and had seen Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine perform there more than once. Inside RiNG, Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki were already seated at a table in the hall, waiting for them.

While waiting, Shiina Riki complained about Lenna.

"Hasn't Lenai-chan replied to the message yet?"

They had already arranged a late live performance tonight, but when Shiina Ritsuki was practicing with Yona, he didn't receive any response from Yona. This made Shiina Ritsuki panic. If Yona was absent, this live performance would be meaningless.

Shiina Riki shook his head, rather helplessly, "Not yet. That kid is so casual. He should at least reply to the message. It makes me worry all the time."

"Li Xi is too worried." Nagasaki Suyo lay on the table, looking weak and powerless.

Asagi walked behind, while Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng entered the LiveHouse "RiNG" first. As soon as they entered, they found Suze and Riki. Chihaya Aine waved happily at them, then walked over to sit next to Suze. Suze looked lazy, raised her eyelids and glanced at Chihaya Aine, but said nothing.

"Is Su Shi tired?" Aine stared at Su Shi.

"No, I just don't feel interested at the moment. It will get better naturally when we do the live." Nagasaki Suyo said lazily.

“I see,” Aine didn’t intend to ask further.

Takeda-san arrived a little later than Aine, following Takamatsu's arrival. Asagi was the last to arrive. Suyo's back was facing the door, so she didn't notice Asagi. When Asagi sat down next to Suyo, Nagasaki suddenly sat up straight, as if struck by lightning, and looked at Asagi nervously.

Seeing Su Shi's tense appearance, Asagi waved and greeted Su Shi, asking her to relax.

"Hehehe," Asagi waved at Su Shi, showing his snow-white teeth.
