You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

Inspiring and enlightening.

Shiina Riki adjusted her breathing and was about to pick up her schoolbag and leave the store when the waitress stopped her.

She was stunned and subconsciously thought that she didn't pay, but then she heard what the waitress said.

"Shiina-kun! Go find him on my bike!"

"Eh?"

Shiina Riki was stunned. The waitress in front of him was one of the members of the Afterglow band he admired. She never thought that she could actually talk to her senior whom she didn't dare to approach, and her tone became hurried.

"Um, Haneze-senpai, I can just walk over there by myself—"

"If we walk, we definitely won't be able to catch up, right?"

On the other side, a red-haired girl sitting in the distance laughed heartily. She walked over and opened the photos on her mobile phone to show Lixi.

"This is the photo Lan and Mocha just sent me. Look at the boy at the edge with the gig bag on his back. Is he the one you're looking for?"

"This hair... and this gig bag I picked out... is Sho!" Shiina Riki looked at the slightly blurry figure in the photo with a surprised expression, "Udagawa-senpai, can you tell me where this place is!"

"Ah, it's not that far actually. It's the same route we usually take home. You can turn left when you leave the store and catch up in no time on your bike."

As she said that, the red-haired girl smiled and patted Li Xi's junior.

"I've been listening to you guys arguing... I don't quite understand the whole story, but you're in a band, right? We're all in a band, and no one wants to see someone break up like that, so go after them! Just give the bike and everything else back to Tugumi next time you come!"

“…Okay, Senior!”

Shiina Riki took a deep breath and felt his eyes a little red.

Looking at the key the waitress handed her, she took it solemnly and bowed to the two of them in thanks.

then.

Anxious.

Exciting.

And made up my mind.

It makes people feel dreamy and magnificent.

Run out the door and chase forward.

The girl quickly got on her bicycle and tried her best to catch the brightest star that she wanted to hold in her hands.

Her presence was so resolute.

So much so that in the process of chasing the stars, she seemed to have turned into a dazzling star.

The girl who was left alone in the store could only stare blankly at the back of the person leaving her.

Bitter.

Envious.

Then he slowly lowered his gaze.

I want to hide the tears that are about to burst out.

He rubbed his fingers vigorously.

ps: This is not right, how can you still have so many tickets at the end of the month? 1

With the number of votes rising, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the small dark room for the rest of my life. But it doesn't matter. Look at this chapter, it's almost 7k words. Logically, it should be published in two chapters, and it can be used once a day until it's put on the shelves. But how can a truly strong person use such a trick? I have everyone in my heart, how can I take advantage of such a small thing? Even if it is put on the shelves, it won't affect my overflowing coding. I love Yanzu and his friends. Kou Ya 14

Also, Lao Xi, I love you too. You are the most convenient to use. You are the most slow in the emotional scenes. You are the easiest to understand when writing. At first glance, you have the best personality. You are very good at Li Xi. You make me spiral up. When I send Tao Mo Ling to the battlefield one day, what kind of dilemma will it be between loyalty and filial piety?

I'd like to recommend a friend's book. She taught me a lot when I was writing the book, and we've known each other for several years. You can take a look.

After Fifteen Days, I Became a Vampire Lolita

027. Lixi steps towards becoming the first generation custom champion

There are no stars tonight, only the street lights are flashing bright lights.

The bright lights pulled the shadows of the pedestrians, making them longer and longer, dragging a lonely trail on the cement road where fallen leaves and dust were still floating.

Toyokawa Sho was walking home alone, carrying his guitar bag.

The whistling evening breeze messed up his blue bangs, and he couldn't help shivering because of the thinness of his clothes. So he stuffed his hands into his pockets and pulled his neck back, and thus prepared himself for a simple cold-proof posture.

He recalled what had just happened in the store, with a hint of depression in his eyes.

He had long anticipated Nagasaki Suyo's resistance to him, but he had never imagined that in Nagasaki Suyo's eyes, his current behavior could be described as cheating.

He shook his head, getting rid of these redundant thoughts.

I have to cook for Black History when I get home soon. There should be some leftovers from yesterday in the fridge, which should be enough for one meal. As for tomorrow...

what.

Toyokawa Sho remembered that he had just picked up the bill from the table and went to the front desk to pay.

The chocolate parfait he ordered was 2000 yen, Lixi's silky latte was 800 yen, and Nagasaki Suye's long list of special iced drinks was 2200 yen, totaling yen...

Someone's expression suddenly became serious.

He only had six thousand on him, and a meal at a coffee shop cost him five thousand? How was this any different from cutting off both his arms? When he got home, how would he face his dark past?

Toyokawa Sho, ah, Toyokawa Sho.

You must not be so concerned about face in the future. Don't pay the bill yourself when you go out with others. At least the money used for treating others should be your own. This money was given to you because of their dark history, and you can't use it like this indiscriminately.

"Now, I'm afraid I can only rely on Li Xi to make a living..."

With tears in his eyes, Toyokawa Sho regretted his rashness today. But when he mentioned Li Xi, his thoughts uncontrollably followed this name.

I don't know if she has returned home yet.

I hope she didn't quarrel with Su Shi.

I had originally promised her that I would go say hello to the seniors from Afterglow, but I ended up sitting there so busy watching Panda Collection with her that I completely forgot about it.

Should I have taken her back with me at that time?

After all, the bill has been settled, and there is no reason for Li Xi to stay in there any longer. Instead of letting her contact with Nagasaki Suyo, it is better to take her back first to avoid any entanglement between them...

But I was really tired at that time.

I just wanted to go back slowly by myself and get rid of the heavy mood on the way, so I didn’t think about walking with her again...

Thinking of Li Xi's iconic face, Toyokawa Sho stopped and looked up at the moon embedded in the sky.

The tone is complex, like a cup of strong white wine, bland at first but warm in the aftertaste, and what burns into the chest is a fiery heat that dissolves all the emotions and pain.

"If only I could see you now..."

he whispered.

"Now...it seems like Li Xi is the only one left for me."

Then, realizing what he was saying, he shook his head and denied it.

"...No, no, no, what am I thinking? This is not good. It's not the first time that I've been provoked by Su Shi. The most unforgivable thing was when she chased me and asked if she could support me. The current situation is already good."

He slapped his cheek hard, and because he was still a teenager, his fair and tender skin instantly had obvious red marks.

He adjusted his slightly unstable breathing, straightened his facial expression, and put on a perfect smile again. Only then did he regain his previous state of mind, humming a song as he walked home.

That's when.

Toyokawa Sho vaguely heard some sound coming from behind.

Listen carefully.

There was the sound of tires rubbing against the road and the subtle sound of chains turning.

He frowned, wondering if there was anyone riding a bicycle at this time, and it sounded like they were riding in a hurry.

What could be so urgent?

In life, it is important to take it slow...

“Hey! Wait a minute!”

The thoughts haven't been spoken yet.

The familiar voice was like a meteor at dawn, tearing open the silent night.

Toyokawa Sho's pupils dilated, and the figure who had been walking forward stopped and turned back to look at the source of the sound. There was a black-haired girl standing under the light, on the slope, riding a bicycle, with a few strands of long black hair wet on her face with sweat, like a hero appearing on stage.

"Lixi?"

The girl's appearance was too unexpected, yet it seemed reasonable.

So much so that now she looks like the heroine at the opening of a play, stunning and romantic.

The originally quiet and melancholy night scene changed into a different look with her grand appearance. One could even hear the soaring accompaniment of violin and piano.

The lights that enveloped him also created an atmosphere of youth. The night scene, which should have been dominated by cold colors, now miraculously showed warm and soft tones, sending away the loneliness and desolation that weighed on his heart, and welcoming the throbbing of the bard's soft singing.

Toyokawa Sho had never expected that Shiina Riki would catch up and find him. The other party's appearance was so unexpected that even he was at a loss.

"Finally, I found you..."

On the slope, Shiina Riki showed a relieved expression. She tucked the wet hair on her face behind her ears. Her lavender pupils were like plump wild grapes, filled with a relieved light.

After coming out of the store, she pedaled her bike with all her might, speeding all the way and keeping an eye on her surroundings, until she finally saw Toyokawa Sho's shadow.

She had originally planned that she would not be able to see Toyokawa Sho today, but she didn't want to see him tomorrow at all. She wanted to see him today no matter what.

So she tried her best and followed the route pointed out by her senior Ueda, and finally found Toyokawa Sho.

Seeing that the goal has been achieved.

She breathed a sigh of relief, her body no longer tense, and she pedaled down to find Toyokawa Sho.

But my legs, which had been tense all the time, suddenly relaxed, and the terrain was quite steep.

that's it.

The bike began its accelerating journey.

The pedaling speed, which was normal at the beginning, became increasingly uncontrollable, and then the tires gradually showed a tendency to run wild.

The chain underneath slid across the sprockets with a rustling sound, faintly emitting sparks, and began to fly away rapidly like a rocket.

Shiina Riki blinked.

Now, she seemed to be about to rush down.

“Wait, wait wait wait! We’re about to charge down!!”

Shiina Riki was panicked by this unexpected situation. Today he had to play drums intensively and perform on stage. He had just been pedaling his bicycle desperately, and his physical strength had long been exhausted.

But now that he saw Toyokawa Sho, the tense feeling in his heart eased, and the fatigue that followed was as heavy as if his limbs were filled with lead. He couldn't muster up any strength to steady the out-of-control bicycle.

"Press the handle! Li Xi! Press the handle!" Toyokawa Sho hurriedly shouted when he saw this.

"It's no use!!" Li Xi pressed the brake handle hard.

"What kind of crappy bike is this!? It can even break down at the critical moment!" Toyokawa Sho was shocked. Could it be that this bike was meant to imitate Lu?

"Use your feet! Use your feet to brake! If you can't stop, just throw the car away! Jump down and I'll catch you!"

Shiina Riki put down his legs, and his delicate little leather shoes rubbed against the concrete floor again and again. Although it slowed down the momentum a little, it still couldn't stop the runaway bicycle.

She gritted her teeth, the whistling evening wind and the uncontrollable gravity made her feel uneasy.

But after hearing Toyokawa Sho's voice, she strangely felt her mind calm down a lot, so she took a deep breath and used her last bit of strength to jump off the out-of-control bicycle.

The powerful potential energy and inertia behind her pushed her forward with all her strength, causing her to lose balance and gait. She was about to fall to the ground when she saw a figure running forward several steps out of the corner of her eye.

then.

He actually hugged her.

In that brief moment, the ears seemed to temporarily stop working.

The gentle caress of the wind, the silence of the night, passers-by returning home, and the chirping of cicadas hiding somewhere.
