......"

………………

The last note fell and silence fell in the practice room.

Hachiman Kailing was the first to break the silence: "...wonderful. Did you write this song?"

"Both lyrics and music." Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have completely entered the state, her voice elegant and formal. "Well, are you qualified?"

"This song is still missing drums and bass, right? So, can I ask if they've chosen a drummer?"

"I already have one. It's Yutenji Wakamu, also known as Meowmu."

"Miao Meng? That beauty blogger?" She showed a rare look of surprise. "She can also play drums?"

(Could it be that she was chosen because she is close to Chuxia?)

It's no wonder that Hachiman Kailing has such doubts, because judging from the current personnel, they all seem to be a circle centered around Sanjiao Hatsuka.

A childhood sweetheart, a childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, a member of the same band, and a beauty blogger who I have collaborated on videos with.

If she didn't know that she didn't have that kind of thoughts about Mitsuka Hatsuka, she would have really thought that this [Ave Mujica] was actually his "harem".

"Ms. Yutenji is a rare ambidextrous person with an excellent sense of rhythm." Toyokawa Shoko opened a video on her phone, showing Yutenji Wakami beating electronic drums at an astonishing speed. "Although her skills still need to be polished, her talent cannot be underestimated."

The corners of Hachiman Kailing's mouth rose rarely. "I agree to join Ave Mujica."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Toyokawa Shoko's hand in the air.

Seeing that the main music was almost finished, Sanjiao Hatsuka moved closer to Toyokawa Shoko and looked at the video on the phone with some confusion.

"By the way, when was this video filmed? Why haven't I seen it on Miao Mengqin's homepage?"

"Oh, this." She exited the video and said casually, "I asked Miss Yutenji to play the music according to the music I gave her. It was like she had practiced and adapted to it in advance."

"???"

(Is that the speed of the drums for the official song?!)

Chapter 245: As a latecomer, I don’t have the right to say anything.

As the sun sets, the lingering summer heat still lingers on the asphalt road, the cicadas' chirping gradually fades, and the evening breeze, carrying the heat and the faint fragrance of flowers, sweeps across the empty street corners.

The two people who had just parted with Wakaba Mutsu walked side by side on the way home, holding hands like a couple.

"Xia," Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stopped, her blue hair fluttering gently in the wind, "Are you and Mu... already in that kind of relationship?"

Mikado Hatsuka's heart skipped a beat when asked this question. He turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko and saw a complex light glimmering in her pale golden eyes.

"Yeah." Sanjiao Chuxia admitted softly, his fingers subconsciously stroking her skin, "Just last week..."

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a tiny shadow on her face. The sunset glow gave her delicate profile a soft contour.

"Really..." Her voice was very soft, with a barely perceptible tremor, "Mu... you finally mustered up the courage."

Sanjiao Chuxia keenly caught the strangeness in her tone: "Xiaoxiang...are you angry?"

"How could that be? I'm just... a little surprised."

She raised her head and forced a smile.

The evening breeze blew by, taking away some of the summer heat. Toyokawa Shoko tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a seemingly ordinary gesture that now seemed a little lonely.

"Actually, I noticed it when I knew Mu joined your [Personaction]. After all, she switched to keyboard player specifically for Xia."

Sanjiao Chuxia didn't respond immediately. He recalled Ruoye Mu's equally pale golden eyes, which always seemed to like glancing at him.

It started when the two of them agreed to play guitar together whenever they had time.

"Does Chuhua know?" Toyokawa Shoko suddenly asked.

"Xiaochu knows." He nodded, then remembered something and his cheeks flushed slightly. "Although she was a little upset at first, she finally agreed."

"After all, Chuhua is as gentle as Xia."

The two continued walking forward, their footsteps particularly clear in the quiet street. Sanjiao Hatsuxia secretly observed her profile and found that her expression was softer than usual.

"Xiaoxiang..." He hesitated and said, "Do you really not mind?"

Toyokawa Shoko let go of Sanka Hatsuka's hand, took a few quick steps forward, and then turned to face him.

"To say I don't mind at all... that would be a lie." She said frankly, her voice soft but firm, "But since Chuhua doesn't have any objections, then I, a 'latecomer', have no right to say anything."

Her fingertips gently stroked Sanjiao Chuxia's cheek, with a hint of lingering warmth.

"Don't say that!" He suddenly held Toyokawa Shoko's hand. "It's me who's greedy and wants everyone to be together. I'm the one with the biggest problem."

Looking at her lover's serious eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle:

"Anyway, Xia will take the responsibility on himself no matter what.

Don't worry, I won't get upset about this. And if Mu can be happy, I will be happy too."

From what Metis said today, Toyokawa Shoko realized that she seemed to have accidentally ignored Wakaba Mu's feelings in some aspects.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang."

"I should be thanking Xia Cai."

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows very long. Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Sanjiao Hatsuka's neck, and looked straight at him with her light golden eyes.

"But... as compensation." Her voice was filled with a rare willfulness. "Please spend more time with me in the next period of time."

Before Sanka Hatsuka could respond, Toyokawa Shoko had already kissed him. Her lips, with the unique warmth of summer, gently caressed his lips.

This proactive kiss was not as cautious as Wakaba Mu's, nor as passionate as Metis's, but carried the elegance and restraint unique to Toyokawa Shoko.

Sanjiao Chuxia subconsciously hugged her waist, feeling her slender body trembling slightly in his arms.

The evening breeze blew gently, and Shoko Toyokawa's blue hair brushed across his cheek, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

"Well……"

When she tentatively bit his lower lip, Sanjiao Hatsuka couldn't help but tighten her arms. Toyokawa Shoko's breathing was obviously disordered, but she stubbornly refused to retreat, as if she wanted to pour all her emotions into this kiss.

A car horn honked in the distance, and Toyokawa Shoko reluctantly stepped back. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but a satisfied smile played on her lips.

"Is this enough?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head slightly: "It's not enough. I'm very greedy."

The lit streetlights cast overlapping shadows on the ground. Sanjiao Chuxia could clearly feel her accelerated heartbeat, transmitted through the thin fabric.

"Then... do you want it back now?" He lowered his head and rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose.

Toyokawa Shoko did not answer, but took his hand and walked quickly towards the nearby Asukayama Park.[1] The park was deserted in the evening, and the swings swayed gently in the breeze.

She pulled Sanjiao Chuxia to sit on the steps, and the two of them were very close.

"I miss it so much. That's how we sat together on the subway the day Xia first came to work at Leblanc."

Because it was the rush hour, the carriage was almost overcrowded. If they hadn't been lucky, they would probably have had to stand the whole way.

"Actually, at that time, I never thought that I would have this kind of relationship with Xiaoxiang."

"why?"

(Because at that time I still thought of you as Brother Xiang... This kind of words are too depressing, so I'd better not say it.)

Seeing that Sanjiao Chuxia didn't continue, she didn't plan to ask any more questions, because next...

Suddenly, Shoko Toyokawa stood up, and before he could react, she had already sat on his legs and held his face with her hands.

"Xiao Xiang?"

"The compensation I want will take Xia a lifetime to pay off, so I'm going to charge interest next."

After saying that, she slowly lowered her head.

Toyokawa Shoko, who was always the passive party, took the initiative rarely. She inserted her fingers into Sanjiao Chuxia's hair and pulled it gently, bringing a subtle pain and pleasure.

When they finally separated, their breathing had become rapid. Toyokawa Shoko's lips were slightly swollen, glistening in the light. She leaned contentedly against his shoulder, listening to his still-beating heartbeat.

Chapter 246: Meow Dream: I want to give the minotaur Toyokawa Shoko a hard blow!

Yutenji Wakamu slumped on the floor of her apartment, beads of sweat trickling down her cheeks. Her arms ached so much she could barely lift them, and her palms still bore red marks from the friction of the drumsticks—the mark of continuous, intense practice.

“Ah—I’m going to die…”

She looked up at the ceiling, her pink eyes full of fatigue.

Ever since she agreed to join Ave Mujica, Shoko Toyokawa has been like a devilish coach, assigning her unimaginable training tasks every day.

Today was even more outrageous. They asked her to play "Ave Mujica" with a bpm of over 200 continuously for five times before allowing her to take a break!

And even if she wanted to be lazy, she couldn't do it. The other party required that the ten minutes be recorded in full and sent to her as a video. Otherwise, she would not be allowed to record a video with Yutenji Wakamu and Sanka Hatsuka.

This is stated in the contract.

(Who would have thought that the promised “coordination and communication plan” would involve this level of practice?)

"That Toyokawa Shoko... is definitely an S..."

Yutenji Wakamu, who didn't realize that he was being used as a tool to vent his anger, struggled to get up, dragged his heavy feet to the refrigerator, took out a can of iced soda and put it on his burning cheek.

She suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.

"Oh right... Sanjiao-san..."

Yutenji Wakamai took out his phone and quickly typed a message:

Nyamuchi: Sanjiao-san! Help! My dream is dying! QAQ

The message was shown as read as soon as it was sent, and I received a reply soon:

UIKA: What happened?

Nyamuchi: Toyokawa-san is so scary! He's been practicing drums until his hands are almost broken! Can you come to my house? I have something important to discuss!

UIKA: ...Okay.

Seeing the message, she smiled victoriously, quickly opened the pull ring and drank a sip of soda, then collapsed on the sofa waiting for rescue.

After half an hour.

"Meow Dream dear, are you still alive?"

There was a knock at the door, followed by a familiar voice. Yutenji Wakamugi struggled to stand up from the sofa, dragging his exhausted body to the entrance to open the door for Sankaku Hatsuka.

As soon as she saw the handsome face of the blond boy, she couldn't help but reveal a "crying" expression.

"Sankaku-san~" Yutenji Wakamugi muttered, just like when he was recording the video, "Save me..."

As she spoke, she raised her hands to show the other person the "traces of her hard work."

Sanjiao Hatsuka sighed, put the bag in her hand on the shelf, and checked her condition.

"Is the training too intense?" He gently grasped Yutenji Wakamaki's wrist, and when his fingertips touched her skin, she trembled unconsciously.

"Toyokawa-san... is a devil..." she said aggrievedly, with a bit of coquettishness, "She made me keep the BPM over 200 for more than ten minutes, otherwise she wouldn't let me film the video with Sankaku-san..."

In response, Sanjiao Chuxia just smiled helplessly.

"Xiao Xiang must have her reasons for making this arrangement, although it does feel a bit excessive..."
