Following Aine, Takamatsu Akari's eyes gradually shifted from light to a black halo filling her entire field of vision.
"The last time I stood here like this was during the Crychic era, right?"
They've been coming to RING for training every day these past few days, but they haven't been backstage at the performances.
Memories of the past kept replaying in his mind, and Takamatsu Akari's hand involuntarily reached out and touched the railing in front of him.
"The railings are still the same railings, but Xiangzi is no longer here..."
Seeing the objects reminded him of the person, and Gao Songdeng's emotions gradually drifted away.
"So they really do provide pastries in the back office? But why are there almost no matcha-labeled desserts left?"
Some desserts are still in plentiful stock, while others are almost gone. As for why, it must be the work of a stray cat.
Finally, scanning the desserts on the tables behind her, Chihaya Aine reached out and took out one of the donuts.
"This chocolate donut is so delicious, Tomorin, you should try it!"
Wanting to share her discovery like a rare treasure, Chihaya Aine turned around, only to find a lantern quietly standing still.
"Honestly, Tomorin, I'm standing right next to you right now, how can you be thinking about other girls?"
Although Gao Songdeng didn't say anything and just looked indifferent, she knew what Gao Songdeng was thinking at that moment after knowing her for so long.
It's nothing more than Toyokawa Shoko, Crychic, and Kasuga Kage?
With a slight pout at the corners of her mouth, Chihaya Aine gave a coquettish hum.
"The beauty of the past, however wonderful, is finite, but I am now spending the future with Tomorin..."
Although I can't become the white moonlight in Tomorin's heart, wouldn't it be enough to become a bright pink sun? Cover up that crychic memory and describe the imprint that appears in the band.
"So, I look forward to working with you from now on, tomorin."
A smile returned to her lips as Chihaya Aine, holding a donut, quietly approached Takamatsu Akari's side.
"Well!"
Caught completely off guard, Gao Songdeng felt a soft sensation in his mouth, accompanied by a subtle sweetness.
Is this the taste of a donut?
"Love, love sound?"
While chewing on the melted food, Takamatsu's little face was flushed and she looked very cute.
"Is it tasty?"
"Mmm, delicious. Everything Aine gives is delicious."
"You can't say that, Tomorin. What if I gave you some weird stuff to eat, and you said it was delicious?"
"Aine wouldn't give me weird food, I...I trust Aine!"
"So this won't work, tomorin!"
Hearing Takamatsu Akari's completely trusting and innocent words, Chihaya Aine shook her head helplessly.
"So, is there any more, Aine? I want to have another one."
The sweet aftertaste of the donut gradually burst in his mouth, and Gao Songdeng felt his stomach craving.
"Yes, there is. Is it really that delicious?"
Looking back at the dessert table behind her, Chihaya Aine took out two more donuts.
"Here, here's your tomato."
He held the donut to the gray-haired girl's chest, but she saw Tomorin's blushing face.
"I want, I want Aine to feed me..."
The whispered request became almost inaudible, and Takamatsu Akari's pupils turned away shyly.
"Eh……"
Hearing Takamatsu Akari's proactive request, Chihaya Aine's mouth agape slightly in surprise!
"Oh, I can take it myself."
Sensing Aine's hesitation, Takamatsu realized that she might have made a slightly excessive request, so she quickly raised her hands to take the donut.
"I didn't say no, tomorin."
Two blushes appeared on Chihaya Aine's face, and her eyes wandered somewhat.
"So Tomorin would actually make such a proactive request?"
Since she met Gao Songdeng, she had always felt that Gao Songdeng was a passive girl.
Simply put, he is someone who doesn't act on small matters, follows the crowd on big matters, and takes the initiative when it matters most.
What kind of girl is she who doesn't like to talk or socialize much on a normal day, but always bursts with powerful energy in crucial moments?
With a jumble of thoughts running through her mind, Chihaya Aine decided to end this awkward moment as soon as possible.
After all, there were more than just the two of them backstage, and the atmosphere for reading...
Tomorin is definitely still a newbie!
"Ahem, Tomorin, open your mouth, shall we?"
Looking at Takamatsu Akari, whose face was slightly flushed and whose eyes were closed, Chihaya Aine tremblingly raised her hand.
P.S.: One chapter will be posted first, four more will be posted tonight.
Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 64: The Enlightened Takamatsu Touka
Chihaya Aine's cheek tingled as if she were touching Tomorin's face, and her cheeks visibly flushed red.
After a long twenty seconds, Tomorin finally finished eating all the donuts.
Seeing Takamatsu Akari looking as content as a kitten, Chihaya Aine felt a slight pang of emotion.
"Is Tomorin becoming a bit like Renai?"
The girl's memory flashed back to the image of Ryuna being fed...
You know what?
"Lena isn't here, and neither is Lixi."
After enjoying the delicious donuts, Takamatsu Akari suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip.
Looking for Lixi!
"I haven't seen Riki, that's really strange!"
After searching around and looking at the empty backstage area, Chihaya Aine came to her final conclusion.
Shiina Tatsuki is not in RiNG at this moment!
"The live performance is tomorrow, so normally Li Xi wouldn't miss it..."
Thinking about the reasons and possibilities, Chihaya Aine looked puzzled.
"I... I can send a message to Lixi."
"Carefully taking my phone out of my pocket," Takamatsu Akari said softly.
"Lixi values the band a lot, so if he can't come, it's definitely an unavoidable problem!"
Having made up her mind, Takamatsu Akari opened LINE and began to slowly handwrite a message.
If Lixi also becomes confused and runs away, she is willing to chase after Lixi and bring him back, just like she chased after Aiyin!
"That's true, then you, Tomorin, will contact me."
"It's Shiritsu, right? I'll go ask Rinrin-senpai again. Soyorin should be arriving soon too."
Sensing the sense of responsibility and determination emanating from the girl before her, Chihaya Aine walked past Takamatsu Akari with a smile, pausing briefly as she turned her head.
"Tomorin is really becoming more and more like the core of our band now."
"However, there is still room for improvement!"
Leaving behind her last two sentences, she vanished backstage like a butterfly, heading to the front of the stage.
"The core? Me?"
Hearing Ai-on's praise, Takamatsu's bright eyes seemed to be veiled by a thin gauze, filled with confusion.
To be honest, this was the first time she had heard this term. Before this, she had never felt that she was the core of the band or anything like that.
Isn't the term "core" meant to describe the most talented members of a band? Only Xiangzi, Lixi... and Aine could also fit that description!
But her?
So, Aine thought she was the core of the band?
"I don't understand, but since Aine said so, I'll try my best to become a core member?"
Although she still didn't understand why, Aine's intense gaze calmed her heart.
Just be brave and do it!
Her gaze returned to the screen, but unfortunately, the message she sent to Lixi went unanswered.
"Unread".
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, still unread.
A bad thought and speculation flashed through his mind, and Gao Songdeng immediately stopped thinking.
"Lixi won't leave the band, don't be too negative!"
Her long-held beliefs led her to always think the worst, but thankfully, thanks to Aine, she is now able to recognize her negative thoughts.
"But it's not good to just wait here. Let's go out and meet up with Aine first."
Five minutes later, the LINE phone interface still hadn't changed, and Takamatsu felt she needed to change her strategy.
As she walked from backstage into the café, she saw two more girls—Aine and Suze—who were already waiting at the front desk.
"Xiaodeng, you're out! How did it go? Has Lixi contacted you?"
A look of urgency instantly appeared on Nagasaki Motoyo's face. She rushed to Takamatsu Akari's side, her face full of concern.
"No, Lixi hasn't contacted me."
Takamatsu Akari shook her head slightly and silently walked to Rinrinko's side.
"Senpai Rinrinko, you should be able to contact Ritsuki, right?"
His eyes held a longing hope, and Takamatsu's bright amber pupils seemed to glow.
"I'm also wondering why Xiao Lixi didn't come. I have her personal phone number and home phone number here. Here you go."
As a legitimate livehouse venue, RING accepts high school students for part-time work and also provides them with their contact information, including personal and home phone numbers, all to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
Rinrinko pulled out a sticky note from the front desk area, quickly wrote two black numbers on it, and handed it to Takamatsu Akari.
"When you contact Lixi, remember to include my message too. Tell her I'm also worried about her."
After a slight smile, Rinrinko gently stepped back a few paces, leaving space for everyone to communicate.
"Well, I will."
Taking Rinrinko's request seriously, Takamatsu Akari raised the sticker in her hand to her chest.
"So, should we call Riki's personal phone number or her home number?"
"I think we can call a personal phone number first."
"But soyorin, isn't a personal phone number the same as sending a LINE message?"
"If possible, could Aine please not call me by that name?"
"No, soyorin is soyorin!"
Hearing the 'intense' conversation of the two people beside him, Takamatsu Akari gradually fell into deep thought.
"Which one should we fight? I want to see Lixi right now."
