Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

What she cares about is that Xiaoxiang and Sushi can return to the way they were before, and even be happier than before.

"Sushi, if you're going to form a band, I want to join."

"Eh?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that last week, Xiao Mu, whom she had tried to persuade for a long time, had never agreed to her request. This week, she just mentioned it casually, and Xiao Mu actually nodded in agreement.

However, she naturally knew the difference.

The reason why Xiaomu agreed was because she had already decided on the band she was talking about, which did not include anyone else in crychic.

Sure enough, had Xiao Mu never supported his idea of reviving the C-Team? From the very beginning, this girl who rarely spoke had been by his side, holding the heart that the C-Team was dead.

"Let's talk about the band later. Right now I just want to study hard."

"Ah."

"But thank you, Xiao Mu, even though... never mind."

At this point, saying anything more in this situation would seem redundant. It would be better to trust Chihiro a little more and see if she can change Xiaomu's mind if she has the chance to let her go to school in his place in the future.

Monday, May 5th, that same afternoon.

The location is in the customer service department of Hele Distribution Company. At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko has just arrived at her workstation, and the one who makes her smile is Chihiro Tsuzuki who is sitting next to her.

"Chihiro."

"Xiao Xiang?"

The clothes Chihiro Tsuzuki wore today were still the cheap, pitiful outfit in her suitcase. However, no matter how many times she wore such simple clothes, it always matched her delicate temperament.

Especially when Xiaoxiang had a preconceived notion that she had no other clothes, Toyokawa Shoko, who was next to Chihiro, felt a little touched.

"Didn't you do housework at Su Shi's house today?"

Although Xiangzi's attitude towards Su Shi is completely different from when they first met each other, it has to be admitted that Chihiro feels at least more at ease in Su Shi's house than in other strangers' homes.

At least, Su Shi is not a bad person.

"Actually, I was doing housework all morning. I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I came here."

"Chihiro only comes here in the afternoon?"

"Well... because Xiaoxiang wasn't here in the morning, I... felt a little lonely."

crit.

This sentence full of dependence, coupled with Chihiro's pitiful face, made Toyokawa Shoko forget that she was even younger than the other person, and she automatically began to put herself in the role of a big sister who had to take care of her weak younger sister.

"Really?" Toyokawa Shoko had a gentle smile on her face. "Actually, if there's no special circumstances, I'll come here every afternoon. If there's anything else... I'll send a message to Xiaoqian."

"Xiao-Xiao Qian?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki felt like she had overacted. How did she suddenly go from "Sister Chihiro" to "Chihiro-chan"?

But... it seems like this is the first time I've been called that, and it's an indescribable feeling.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk after work is done. I'll go get a glass of water first...Huh? Xiao Qian, what's wrong with your leg?!"

When she first arrived, Shoko Toyokawa hadn't noticed it, but when she stood up and prepared to get water from the water dispenser, she happened to see from a bird's-eye view that some bandage seemed to be exposed at Chihiro's right knee.

"what……"

Chihiro was stunned for a moment, but before she could find an excuse, Xiangzi, with his dirty hands, lifted up her skirt and saw the gauze tied on her smooth skin.

"Well, it's okay, just a scratch."

"..."

Xiangzi frowned and felt a little unhappy when he saw Chihiro who seemed to be avoiding his gaze.

However, her unhappiness was naturally not directed at Chihiro, but at her employer Su Shi, for whom Chihiro had been cleaning the house yesterday.

Xiangzi took out his cell phone and thought about it, and finally decided to send a message to ask about the situation.

Xiaoxiang: Sushi, why did Chihiro get hurt? You didn't ask her to do any dangerous work, did you?

On the other side, Su Shi, who had just finished school and was about to go to RiNG to meet the band members, saw the message from Xiangzi on her mobile phone. Before she could be happy, she was choked by the content.

"No, why am I so unlucky! Why must it be my fault that she got hurt?!"

Chapter 56: It’s my turn to gain points (2/2)

At 4:13 p.m., Nagasaki Motoyo took the tram alone to RiNG, holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the line of text on it.

Xiaoxiang: Sushi, why did Chihiro get hurt? You didn't ask her to do any dangerous work, did you?

"It must be Qianxun who gave me the opportunity to chat with Xiaoxiang. That must be the case."

Although Su Shi felt that Chihiro Tsuzuki often made her angry, she seemed to have no reason to sow discord between her and Xiao Xiang.

What's more... her relationship with Xiaoxiang had already reached rock bottom, so even a slight improvement would be a huge progress.

Moreover, apart from anything else, Xiaoxiang left space for her to reply when talking to her this time, which means that this time she can chat with him for several sentences about Qianxun's problem.

That was a back-and-forth chat!

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the long string of one-way messages above, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.

[Su Shi: I didn't ask her to do any dangerous work, just simple housework. She was injured when she accidentally fell on the way home.

And I was the one who treated her wound. You can ask her first before blaming me.

"Will I seem a little unreserved by typing so much? And isn't that last sentence... a little too harsh?"

Seeing that she had typed such a long paragraph this time, the brown-haired girl frowned slightly, but when she thought about how she had been in worse situations before, she felt relieved.

And sometimes, you need to put on some airs, otherwise Xiaoxiang on the opposite side may still feel that he is the former Nagasaki Suyo.

Soon, Xiaoxiang on the other end replied.

Xiaoxiang: I asked. Sorry, I misunderstood you.

Xiaoxiang: I heard you're planning to study abroad?

Although this second sentence was asked with some apology by Xiangzi on the other side after he wrongly accused Su Shi due to his own prejudice.

But in Su Shi's eyes, this was the first time that Xiaoxiang took the initiative to ask about her after ignoring her for a long time.

Sure enough...Xiaoxiang is not that heartless.

If her past self had not really hurt Xiaoxiang, she would not have treated herself like that.

"But should I act a little cooler?"

Su Shi thought for a moment, and as she watched the train approaching its station, she took advantage of the time on the way to continue typing:

【Su Shi: Maybe, I can’t say for sure.】

This time, it took a long time before Xiangzi on the other side sent back a message, but this time the reply was a bit dry, just a polite blessing.

"It seems... there is still a long way to go."

The tram had arrived at the station. Su Shi tightened the bass bag on her back and followed the crowd to get off the train.

She had already communicated with Chihiro Tsuzuki last night and knew the general situation of the band. In addition, according to Chihiro, she had always acted in accordance with her personality, so Su Shi was not very worried about her identity being exposed.

Besides...if I tell others that there is someone who looks somewhat like me and can perfectly imitate me through makeup and fake voice, most people won't believe it.

"Su...eh?"

When Su Shi walked into the door of RiNG, Shiina Riki saw her at a glance, but the first words that Riki said made Su Shi's heart beat wildly.

Fortunately, Li Xi's next words dispelled her nervousness.

"Su Shi, why are you dressed a little differently today?"

"Just a change of mood." Su Shi didn't dwell on this question, but immediately changed the subject, "Aine and the others haven't arrived yet?"

"Aine and Touma are here, but I haven't been able to contact Rakuna."

Lixi looked like she had a headache, but she felt that Lenai would still come. After all, the person in front of her should be the person Lenai was most interested in.

However, today Li Xi always felt that the Su Shi in front of him was a little different from the Su Shi he met yesterday. Considering that this was the first time Su Shi wore pantyhose, Li Xi thought that it was only the difference in dress that caused the difference in appearance.

After all, she had never heard that Nagasaki Suyo had any twin sisters.

"Oh, right." Speaking of the band, Li Xi suddenly frowned, "Today there was a problem with the lights..."

"question?"

Su Shi was secretly happy. What he wanted was a problem. If there was no problem, it would be the end of it.

But then she thought, if we follow the original timeline, the first problem that arose in the band...could it be?

"Deng said she didn't want to participate in the LIVE, and I felt that Aine was starting to back out. I knew... that guy wouldn't be able to hold on for long."

it is as expected……

Following Li Xi into the recording studio, Su Shi finally had close contact with the two people who once made her feel guilty: Aine and Deng.

Tou lowered her head as if trying to escape, and Aine pretended to be fine but kept avoiding practice.

Really, no one has changed at all. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Ah, Li Xi and Su Shi are here."

When Aiyin saw Su Shi coming, she actually felt a little ashamed. After all, she had just thought about working hard a few days ago, but the problem was that the time was too short and she couldn't keep up with the speed of other people in the band at all.

"what happened?"

Hearing Su Shi's question, Aine didn't bother to compare the Su Shi of today with the Su Shi of yesterday, and directly said:

"Xiao Deng said she doesn't want to host a LIVE anymore."

"I..." Takamatsu Deng looked at the people in front of him and spoke with some difficulty, "Just like before, I feel like if I do it again, it will still end after the live broadcast."

"...You mean Sushi?"

"Huh?" Su Shi was stunned for a moment. She found herself inexplicably becoming the center of the topic.

"I admit that Su Shi is somewhat similar to Xiangzi back then... but Su Shi and Xiangzi are not the same person."

Lixi looked at the lamp in front of her. She knew why the lamp said that. After all... the composition of the band this time, strictly speaking, didn't seem to be much different from the last time.

Last time, Xiangzi wrote a song about the lights, and everyone probably chose to stay because of the singing of the lights.

This time, all the characters of Xiangzi were replaced by Sushi.

Su Shi became the soul of the band, the person who brought everyone together and made them ignore their differences.

But Li Xi could feel that Su Shi had at least experienced that separation, and she should cherish this opportunity more than Xiangzi did before.

So she also believed that Su Shi would comfort Deng today and make her determined to go on stage with everyone.

"Well, since Deng doesn't want to, let's just practice in the studio first. It's okay if we don't participate in the LIVE."

However, Su Shi's attitude and response behind him were completely different from yesterday, which made Li Xi's eyes widen.

"Su Shi, what did you say?!"

Chapter 57: Su Shi: The band is...disbanding? (still 11)

For Nagasaki Suyo, she felt that everything in front of her was actually an opportunity worth taking advantage of.

What is the most important thing for a band?

She could give the answer without even thinking: the memories of performing on stage together.

Whether these memories are good or bad, whether it is a failed performance or a perfect performance, for a band, the first LIVE cannot be easily erased.

Unless the performance is so bad that everyone in the band completely loses confidence and goes their separate ways, once a shared experience is created, it will be difficult to erase.

In my previous life, if we don’t talk about the spring scene later, can the performance of the first song alone be considered perfect?

Of course not.

The chaos during the soundcheck stage, Ain's system crash during the official performance, and after Ain's problem was solved, lead singer Xiao Deng couldn't sing freely again. It can be said to be a top-level car accident scene.

But the problem is that they solved this problem directly on the spot. The five members of the band successfully reversed the crisis and turned this imperfect performance into the most perfect starting point.

——The starting point may not be flawless, but it must give hope to those who are running.
