Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"I know what you're thinking, but have you ever thought about why Xiaodeng was the first one to join when Xiaoxiang asked us to form a band besides her?

Logically speaking, with Xiao Deng's personality, he should be one of the last two to join the group, like Xiao Mu, right? "

Seeing that Li Xi was silent, Tsuzuki Chihiro, through her own understanding of the existing information and a little nonsense, said what she thought was the "truth":

"Because Xiao Deng also wants everyone to hear her voice. Although she rarely speaks, her inner thoughts are very rich and substantial. So if Aiyin insists, Xiao Deng will actually agree.

Oh, yes, there is one more thing you may not know, that is what Aine told me just before she came. "

"what?"

"Actually, before she and you had that argument at RiNG's door that day, Xiao Deng had almost accepted her invitation."

"……what?"

"Anyway, let's just wait and see. I definitely won't let Xiao Deng get hurt again. If someone has to suffer, it will definitely be that idiot named Nagasaki Suyo."

"Su Shi..."

Looking at "Su Shi" who had the posture of a martyr, Li Xi suddenly felt that the figure of the girl in front of her suddenly became majestic.

Su Shi has really changed completely, but for the better, in a direction that Li Xi cannot help but admire...

Chapter 39 Chihiro: How did I die? (2/2)

"That's all for today. Actually, I think... dwelling on the past isn't a good idea. We have to move on."

"..."

Seeing that Li Xi didn't say anything, but his expression was obviously moved, Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled and said nothing.

She took out her phone, opened LINE, and said to Li Xi who looked puzzled:

"I don't use my previous LINE number much anymore, so I changed to a new one and added it again."

"New?" Li Xi was a little confused. "Why do you want to buy a new one?"

"I think I can start over with a new account." Chihiro Tsuzuki smiled and explained casually.

Li Xi felt mixed emotions at her words, and he looked at "Su Shi" in front of him with a strange look.

If you really don't care about anything, there is no need to create a new account.

On the one hand, I don’t want to delete Xiangzi’s contact information, but on the other hand, I will care when I see his profile picture, so I use this reason to perfunctorily deal with myself.

It is very similar to the previous Su Shi. Thinking about it this way, Su Shi is actually struggling hard with his past self.

No one can change themselves quickly, but as long as you take that step, it is a good start.

Li Xi thought of the girl named Chihaya Aine again. To be honest... after being told all that by him, she still wanted to form a band with them. Li Xi had no idea what was going on in this girl's head.

Although she is persistent, the purpose of this guy's persistence seems not so simple.

It would be easy for her to run away if she had improper motives, but it was not something that most people could do to quickly adjust their mood and sit at the same table with them to talk again.

Should the lamp be allowed to take this risk?

"Wait until I see Xiao Deng..."

Tsuzuki Chihiro froze in the middle of her words, and Riki followed her gaze and realized that the person she was looking at was Lenai who had just walked in with a speaker and a guitar bag.

"what happened?"

"nothing……"

The expression on Chihiro Tsuzuki's face quickly returned to normal, but she really had no intention of leaving at this moment. Instead, she sat back in her seat, supporting her face with her hands and looking at her sister not far away.

Lenai doesn't seem much different from the little girl she was a few years ago, but she always seems to be more independent.

"She often comes over to borrow the venue, playing for a while and then leaving. I guess she wants to find a band, right?"

Li Xi guessed that "Su Shi" might be looking for more band members, so he explained more.

"Oh?" Tsuzuki Chihiro became interested. "Did she find it?"

"It seems not." Li Xi shook his head. Although he was interrupted by the sudden sound of piano playing from Lenai's side, he continued, "Her ability is indeed quite good, but her personality is very strange and she doesn't talk much.

I actually wondered if she was just here for fun or if she really wanted to start a band like I thought, because she rarely took the initiative to talk to others about these things.

"Eh~" Chihiro Tsuzuki narrowed her eyes and looked at her sister with great admiration.

Very good, little Lenai’s personality is cool enough, she likes it enough.

Although when she was young, Lenai was indeed the same as she is now. Except for her sister, Lenai was indifferent to everyone else.

Lenai must be very sad that I left suddenly and disappeared for such a long time, right?

Thinking of this, Chihiro Tsuzuki felt a little nervous to be honest. She was really worried that her disguise would be seen through by her sister, but it seemed that didn't happen.

"Isn't it awesome?"

"Ah? Are you talking about her?" Tsuzuki Chihiro was stunned for a moment, then expressed some objective opinions, "Is she okay? It seems like she's a little unfamiliar."

"……are you kidding me?"

Li Xi glanced at "Su Shi", who seemed like he would die if he didn't pretend to be cool, and the respect he had just felt for this guy suddenly disappeared.

But it's also true that as a bassist, I have a strong natural hostility towards guitar.

This is not surprising, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for a high school student like you to get angry with a little girl who doesn't look that young?

"Why am I teasing you? This level is indeed not bad, but there is still room for improvement."

"Shut up, you."

As the two of them were talking in low voices, the host over there seemed to have had enough fun, but before Lenai left, he seemed to slow down his pace a little at Tsuzuki Chihiro's table.

At the same time, he rarely cast his eyes on Chihiro Tsuzuki. This situation made Li Xi feel uncomfortable all over. He thought that what "Su Shi" who suddenly became a little "pretentious" had just said was heard by others.

Fortunately, Lenai's gaze didn't last too long. He just left with a somewhat strange look and then left.

"Could you please behave yourself from now on? How come you suddenly have this problem after not seeing you for a few days?"

Li Xi didn't know what to say. If she hadn't seen that Su Shi in front of her was indeed the same as she was familiar with in many ways, she would have felt that this guy had been replaced by someone else.

"Thank you Lixi for the coffee today. I'll go home now."

"Ah."

......

More than ten minutes later, at Lenai's house.

The girl who rarely showed interest in anything other than guitar seemed to be a little different after returning today.

She lives with her grandmother, or rather, her grandmother. Lena's mother is Tsuzuki Shisen's child.

However, because she has been very close to her grandmother and cousin since she was a child, little Lenai has never really called her grandmother "Grandma" or called her sister Chihiro "Cousin".

Instead, she just calls them grandma and sister. Anyway, her family will never ask her to change her words because of this.

A few years ago, when Lenai was still in primary school, her parents were actually still in China. However, due to some reasons, Lenai's parents and her sister's parents went to the UK.

At that time, my sister seemed to have the idea of dropping out of school. After arguing with other people in the family for a long time, she finally followed me to the UK.

But... this departure is forever.

"Lena, it's time to eat."

At the bedroom door, Tsuzuki Shifune looked at his granddaughter with eyes full of love, but he couldn't help feeling sad when he saw her staring at the old family photos from time to time.

"Grandma..." Lenai stood up and looked at the kind old woman in front of her with her perfect heterochromatic eyes, "I seem to...see my sister."

"What are you talking about..."

Tsuzuki Shichuan felt a little uncomfortable, but she had to cruelly break her granddaughter's fantasy, "Your sister...is long gone.

She’s never coming back.”

Chapter 40: Su Shi: After all this talk, why are you still following my old path? (Also 6)

Tsuzuki Shifune felt bad when he saw Lena suddenly burst into tears.

Little Lena rarely cries, unless her sister Chihiro Tsuzuki is mentioned.

Tsuzuki Shifune knew that Chihiro had actually been Lenna's idol since she was a child. It can be said that Lenna's contact with guitar and obsession with it were not only related to her personal hobbies, but also to the influence of Chihiro on her.

The most direct influence is that Lenai can be said to be completely imitating Chihiro in her playing style. Her playing techniques and stage style are extremely similar to her sister.

But I also learned some bad things.

For example, she has the same independent personality as her sister, and even compared to Chihiro's "I'm too lazy to socialize, but I'm good at socializing" mode, Lenai's personality is even worse.

The only thing this child has eyes for is her beautiful sister and the sisters' favorite guitar. Apart from these two things, Lenai really doesn't care about anything else.

Later I learned that my sister had dropped out of school, and it seemed as if I was "inspired" to drop out of school as well. I spent all day playing guitar in SPACE.

Moreover, at that time, the child did not even know that the British police's investigation into the missing person's death had resulted in the family's death.

Of course, Tsuzuki Shifune didn't believe it at first. She thought that those guys just thought Chihiro was an outsider and didn't want to continue investigating under the condition of "missing", so they simply declared her dead and closed the case hastily. Anyway, there was no way for her family in the UK to overturn the verdict.

After that, there was really no news at all, which forced their family to believe that Chihiro might be alone in a foreign country without a father or mother and had not yet contacted Lenai's parents, and she was probably in great danger.

"Let's eat, Lenai."

Tsuzuki Shifune wiped Leuna's face with a tissue, then patted the little girl on the back and pulled her into the restaurant.

“…I want to form a band.”

"Hmm?" Tsuzuki Shifune was a little surprised. "Runa, you haven't played guitar in a long time, right?"

"I want to form a band."

Seeing Lenai entering the parrot mode, Tsuzuki Shifune felt a little helpless, but she also felt that this seemed to be an opportunity.

Ever since Lenai dropped out of school and SPACE was closed, the little guy who knew the truth about his sister's death was forced to go to school. Lenai hasn't played the guitar for a long time.

Shichuan even thought that the child would not be able to get out of this shadow for a long time until a certain opportunity came, although she herself did not know whether such an opportunity existed.

But now it seems...

"Because of that child who looks like Chihiro?"

"She doesn't look like me." Lenai shook her head and said in a depressed tone, "But I feel like she smells like my sister."

"The smell? Have you ever talked to her?"

"No, I just have this feeling. She is very similar to my sister."

Tsuzuki Shifune felt a little helpless. Her granddaughter was similar to a cat in every way, but why was she getting worse and worse and even starting to smell things?

"Then let's form a group. Do you need grandma to ask for you?"

"No, I'll tell you."

"Alright." Tsuzuki Shifune nodded and picked up a piece of meat for his granddaughter. "But don't cause trouble to others, okay? If they don't agree, don't force them."

"Ah."

Le Na nodded obediently, but the smile on her face made Tsuzuki Chihiro couldn't help but smile. Perhaps... this is a good opportunity to help his granddaughter get out of her past memories?

If Chihiro were still alive, she would probably wish for the same, right? After all, that child loved her as his sister the most.

.........

"What?! You want to form a band?!"

"Hiss... Could you please keep your voice down a bit? You're about to shatter my eardrums."

Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at Suyo, who had just been smiling and proudly brought out a table of dishes, waiting for praise. After hearing that she wanted to form a band with Aine and the others, she immediately turned into a devil who had returned from hell. She couldn't help but take two steps back.

"You are betraying your master! How could you go back on your word? Where is your professional ethics?!"

Nagasaki Suyo wanted to pick up the bowl of rice in front of her and cover the girl's forehead with it.

As expected... She shouldn't have believed this kind of liar.

"Who betrayed you?" Tsuzuki Chihiro ignored Su Shi's murderous gaze and continued to eat the rice in the bowl, "Hmm... Su Shi, you actually can cook. It seems that last time was really an accident."

Chihiro actually thought about it for a long time before deciding to form a band. As for the reasons, she also considered it. First of all, if she wanted to find an ending that would not hurt anyone, it should be that everyone formed a big band together.

Second, it was actually Su Shi who gave Chihiro great confidence. After all, Su Shi was so afraid of these people getting together, which also shows that they will become a good whole after they are together.

Although it is not clear why Su Shi had this premonition, Chihiro felt that if Su Shi did not have full confidence, he would not be so opposed to forming a new band.
