Lonely Rock for the Blind

Ichichi Xingge scratched his head.

Don’t you think this is too simple and disgusting?

Trying to figure out the thoughts of the rich, Ichichi Xingge tried hard to force a smile.

"Actually, I just sit here sometimes."

"That's it..."

Nekoyashiki Saki sat down next to Ijichi Hoshige.

"Are you here to see Qing? He's not…"

"No, I just came to take a look."

Nekoyashiki Saki smiled at Ijichi Hoshige.

"Come to think of it, when I first met you, I thought you were a very restless child. I didn't expect that you would open a store so obediently now."

"Ah ha ha…"

Ichichi Xingge scratched his head.

Normally she can act like an adult in front of other people.

But in front of older women, he can no longer maintain his adult airs.

"How about I pay for you to renovate and expand the building? Or move to a better location?"

“No, no…”

Ichichi Xingge quickly held out his hand to refuse.

Nekoyashiki Saki smiled.

"Just consider it as a thank you for your family taking care of Xiaoqing. Please accept my financial support."

"No, no, no, really, no need to bother."

Ichichi Xingge shook his head vigorously.

It was still a little difficult for Ijichi Hoshika to accept money from Nekayashiki Haru's mother.

“…Okay, then I won’t force you.”

Nekoyashiki Saki nodded.

Silence fell between the two.

Feeling embarrassed, Ijichi Hoshige decided to find a topic to talk about.

So he spoke.

"By the way, are you in Japan for work?"

"Hmm? No."

Nekoyashiki Saki shook her head.

"I'm here to take Xiaoqing to Germany."

"Ok?"

Ichichi Hoshige's eyes widened.

"Why go to Germany?"

"Ah...because there's hope for Xiaoqing's eyes to recover."

Nekoyashiki Saki said.

"real?!"

Ichichi Xingge stood up subconsciously.

Nekoyashiki Saki watched calmly.

Ijichi Xingge was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then sat back.

"So when do we set off?"

Ichichi Hoshige asked.

A look of worry appeared on Nekayashiki's face.

"Alas... this is what bothers me now."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Ichichi Hoshige tilted her head.

"Xiao Qing doesn't seem to be very willing to go to Germany with me."

"…Why?"

Yidizhi Xingge was even more confused.

Logically speaking, Qing should be the most excited if he can regain his sight.

"I don't know... maybe it's because it takes a long time, maybe several years."

Nekoyashiki Saki explained.

"It felt like he had something he couldn't bear to leave, so he didn't want to go with me."

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige frowned.

"Something you can't bear to part with?"

Then he subconsciously looked towards the door of the rehearsal room.

Nekoyashiki Saki followed Ijichi Hoshige's gaze.

"Ah... Is there someone inside?"

"Eh?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just asking. By the way, are the bandmates Xiaoqing mentioned last time in the rehearsal room? As a mother, I really want to meet my son's friends."

Nekayashiki Saki laughed, and before Ijichi Hoshika could say anything, the woman stood up and walked towards the rehearsal room.

"I'll go say hello."

Nekoyashiki Saki chuckled.

Chapter 161: Colorless Past (Part 1) [Also]

"call…"

Kita Ikuyo lowered her hand, breathing slightly.

Another song ended, and Ichichi Hongxia wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Yamada Ryo's breathing was also a little rapid.

Just now... I tried too hard.

It seems that in the current environment, there is nothing they can do except practice. If they focus on it, they will end up working too hard.

dong dong dong...

There was a sudden knock on the rehearsal room door.

The knock on the door was like a sharp sword, suddenly piercing the gloomy atmosphere among the few people.

The three of them raised their heads at the same time.

Click...

The door is opened.

"senior?"

Kita Ikuyo spoke subconsciously.

However, it wasn't Nekayashiki Haru and Goto Ichiri who appeared at the door.

The woman with black hair and purple eyes looked at the few people and smiled gently.

"Ah, sorry to interrupt your practice."

“…Huh?”

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

This person should be...

She turned to look at Ichichi Hongxia.

Ichichi Hongxia was also surprised to find that she was also surprised.

"Nekoyashiki...Auntie..."

"Huh? Xiao Hongxia used to call me Aunt Kitten."

Nekayashiki Saki walked into the rehearsal room naturally, then turned around and closed the door.

"After all, it was in the past...that..."

Ijichi Hongxia scratched his head and looked at the other two silent people.

It was obvious that neither of them had reacted yet.

After all, I'm the only one who knows Auntie Nekoyashiki...

"Auntie Catyashiki, are you here to look for the kitten?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked softly.

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head nervously.

Why did you suddenly come in?

I sang so hard just now that my hair seems to be all messed up...

Yamada Ryo looked at the cat, Saki.

He narrowed his golden eyes.

It feels... a little weird.

"Ah, no no, I came to see yours."

Nekoyashiki Saki said with a smile.

"My name is Nekayashiki Saki, and I'm Xiaoqing's mother."

"Ah! I'm Kita!"

Kita Ikuyo subconsciously didn't want to say her full name, but she reacted the next moment.

"Ahem, my name is Kita Ikuyo!"

"Yeah, that's a cute name."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

“…Yamada Ryo.”

Yamada Ryo whispered his name.

"Well, it's nice to meet you."

Nekoyashiki Saki looked around.

"Do you usually practice here?"

"Ah."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded and asked.

"Um, what did Aunt Nekoyashiki mean by coming to see us?"

"Ah... just meeting you. Last time you performed on stage, I was in the audience listening."
