Chu Hua took a deep breath and slowly stood up. The students around her began to pack their bags in twos and threes, and laughter echoed in the classroom, but all of this seemed as distant as if separated by a pane of glass.
At least in her circle, there were no pleasant sounds.
Mikasa subconsciously turned her gaze to Chihaya Aine behind her. Chihaya Aine was looking down and slowly tidying up her books. Her pink hair fell down, making it impossible for Mikasa to see Chihaya Aine's expression.
Misaka Chuka felt a mix of emotions. Although she knew this was just in Takamatsu Akira's dream of the future, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw her once close teammates now like strangers.
Even ordinary bands are like this...
Will she and Mana-chan one day drift apart? Will Sumii eventually disband?
Triangle Chuhua had never really thought about this question.
Although her feelings for sumimi were not particularly strong, the energy that Mana-chan gave her was genuine, and their collaboration went relatively smoothly during their one-year debut career.
Stepping out of the classroom, I strolled along the campus paths. The setting sun, blood-red, bathed the entire Haneoka Academy in a vibrant orange hue. Light and shadow danced among the dappled tree branches, yet they could not dispel the doubts clouding Mikasa's heart.
Regardless, she decided to go back to Gao Songdeng's house first, and then think about what to do next.
Another point that bothered her was that, in her memory, Xiangzi had visited Gao Songdeng's house.
Following the route home she remembered, Mikasa quickly arrived at Takamatsu's house. Pushing open the door, she found the house quiet, with the afterglow of the setting sun streaming through the windows and casting long streaks of light and shadow on the living room floor.
She entered Takamatsu Akari's room, her gaze sweeping over everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The desk was piled high with all sorts of small items and trinkets that Takamatsu Akari had collected, including band-aids, notebooks, stones, and so on.
"Found it, this is the notebook."
Perhaps because the band has disbanded again, Gao Songdeng chose to keep her lyric notebook, which she always carries with her, at home. She only found it by recalling it that morning.
Picking up a green notebook from the scattered books on her desk, Misaka Chuka's eyes flickered, a vague and inexplicable melancholy settling over her.
"Are these the lyrics that moved Xiangzi to tears?"
"If I could also write lyrics like these... would Xiangzi shed tears for me?"
Scanning each line of Haruhi's words, Misaka Hatsuka didn't know what kind of expression to wear.
At that moment, she felt as if she had been outshone by Takamatsu!
Volume 2 continues! Chapter 89: Little Lamp and Old Lamp, they're both working too hard!
When one can become Chu Hua, it also means that Chu Hua can become her.
After hearing Xiangzi's last gentle words, Gao Songdeng suddenly realized this fact as he awoke from his dream.
As time went on... she formed a connection with a new girl, a connection that spanned dreams and the future.
In the bedroom, Gao Songdeng opened his sleepy eyes. At this moment, outside the window, the sky was clear and the air was filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
"Xiangzi, if only we could get along as well in real life as we do in our dreams..."
Takamatsu slowly bent her legs, gently hugging her knees with both hands, while her lips drooped slightly, carrying an indescribable bitterness.
After bidding a reluctant farewell to Xiangzi in her dream, her consciousness gradually returned to reality.
No matter how beautiful the dream was, no matter how wonderful the smile Xiangzi gave her...
Those were all memories belonging to Chu Hua, and she was just a thief disguised as Chu Hua.
Thinking about this, Gao Songdeng suddenly felt a little envious of Chu Hua.
Compared to the talented Chu Hua, she seems to have nothing, and even her singing ability needs more practice.
"So Xiangzi could also give other girls that kind of warm smile..."
Gao Songdeng's expression was complicated, and he buried his head even deeper.
She doesn't have the ability to win Xiangzi back yet!
"So you need to practice and find your weaknesses..."
Practice and live performance complement each other. If she is able to stand on her own on stage in the future, will Xiangzi look back at her again?
Recalling the message Nina sent her, Gao Songdeng's hesitation was immediately replaced by determination.
"A collaboration with a live band is a must!"
Aine once said, "Before becoming human, you must first become yourself..."
The first step to becoming yourself is to never lie to yourself, no matter what.
The words overflowing in my heart want to be expressed through song.
Even if you're afraid of performing live, too shy to even speak, even if you embarrass yourself on stage and make the audience laugh...
But all of that was her own doing.
"For myself, that's all, just that."
Act for yourself... even if you're not understood.
Gao Songdeng raised her head, her eyes resolute, and then she pulled a notebook from her bag by the bedside. Now she had inspiration to write lyrics again!
The words I want to say to Xiangzi, the words I want to say to everyone, and the words I want to say to myself...
Let it all flow from the pen in her hand right now!
In that brief moment of flow, time began to pass rapidly, so much so that Takamatsu Akari didn't even notice Takamatsu Yuji standing right in front of her.
"Tomori? Is it almost time for school?"
Yuji Takamatsu stared at his daughter, who was scribbling and drawing, with a puzzled look. At the same time, he crouched down slightly and stepped into Akari Takamatsu's field of vision.
"Oh, is Tomori writing lyrics?"
"Yes, Dad."
"Would Tomori be willing to let me take a look?"
Yuji Takamatsu smiled slightly, his eyes full of loving gaze.
"If it's your father, of course you can."
Takamatsu nodded without any suspicion and then handed over the notebook in his hand.
Rather, she hoped her father would look at her lyrics; this was the first time Yuji Takamatsu had asked her about it.
With his eyes scanning the neat words on the pages, Yuji Takamatsu didn't offer any comments, but simply flipped through the book again and again in silence.
"How...how is it, Dad?"
Takamatsu Akari raised her eyes hopefully, now wanting to see a longing reaction from Takamatsu Yuji's face!
"It's very much in Tomori's style; only Tomori could write lyrics like that."
"After reading these lyrics, Dad was reminded of his time playing in a band during college. It was such a happy and joyful time."
"Did your dad ever form a band?"
Upon hearing Takamatsu Yuji's past stories and experiences, which he had never told before, Takamatsu Akari's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Yes, Dad was the lead singer back then."
Yuji Takamatsu slowly got up from the ground and then sat down next to Akari Takamatsu.
"Look at this photo, this is me, Dad."
Yuji Takamatsu scrolled through his phone's photo album and pulled out pictures from his university days. He pointed to the person in the middle of the picture who was smiling the brightest and said...
That person was none other than himself.
"Daddy, you look so handsome!"
Gao Songdeng blushed as she stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of her father in the photo, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Perhaps she followed in her father's footsteps by becoming the lead singer?
"Haha, yeah, playing in a band really feels cool."
"Playing and creating together with like-minded partners, that's how Tomori is now, isn't it?"
Yuji Takamatsu subtly steered the conversation toward his daughter, speaking with concern.
Tomori doesn't usually talk to her family about her school and band activities, so this is a good opportunity for her to communicate more with her daughter.
He only has one precious daughter, so he has to cherish her.
"Yes, I want to be in a band with my bandmates for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing Yuji Takamatsu's words, Akari Takamatsu nodded quickly, her words surprising.
"A band for life? That's a very, very long time, Tomori."
"I know that's why I want to work hard and keep everyone connected and moving forward."
Since rebuilding the band, she has gradually come to understand the meaning of "a lifetime".
A lifetime is long, just like Ai Yin said, and at the same time, the starting point of a lifetime is the first practice and the first live performance of the band.
These things, though brief, are fundamental. Only by solidifying every moment and the past can we weave together a thread for a lifetime!
"Now that Tomori has his own ideas, let's go for it."
Smiling, Yuji Takamatsu patted Akari Takamatsu's head with his left hand, put down his notebook, and then reached out his hand to Akari Takamatsu.
"As long as Tomori needs it, Dad and Mom will support you wholeheartedly."
"Well, thank you dad!"
"When our band succeeds, we'll invite my parents to come!"
Feeling the slight warmth of Yuji Takamatsu's hand on her head, Akari Takamatsu tilted her head back slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, forming a sweet smile.
My father's words and hands are so warm!
"Band matters are important, but going to school is important too, Tomori. Shouldn't you be going to school now?"
Yuji Takamatsu smiled, then got up from the bed and pointed to the swinging clock on the wall.
There are still thirty minutes before Gao Songdeng is late for school.
If we don't remind him soon, Gao Songdeng will really be late.
"Ah, I got so engrossed in writing lyrics, Dad, I need to get up right away!"
Reminded by Yuji Takamatsu, Akari Takamatsu's cute little face immediately turned red, and her eyes became somewhat evasive.
"be careful on the road!"
Smiling, Yuji Takamatsu waved to Akari Takamatsu, who was rushing out of the room, and a strange feeling welled up inside him.
"I wonder how those guys are doing. I should get together with them and sing some karaoke sometime."
"How about we sing a song written by Tomori then?"
Yuji Takamatsu's face lit up at the thought of praising the lyrics written by Takamatsu Akari in the future.
P.S.: There's a version of "Mi Xing Jiao" by Deng's dad on Bilibili, which just goes to show that the Gao family is a family of lead singers in music~
Volume 2 continues my go!: Chapter 90: Ah, the white moonlight, ah, Toyokawa Shoko
For Gao Songdeng, organizing a live performance has become the top priority and the most urgent task.
"I think everyone would be willing, right?"
As she raced toward Haneoka, Takamatsu Akari's heart raced as fast as her footsteps.
Just now, Lixi sent a message saying that he could come to training.
This afternoon, they will be able to discuss the possibility of joining Nina's band.
We not only need to hold the live event, but we also need to learn from the experience gained by comparing ourselves with Nina...
If Nina's singing skills improve, then she absolutely cannot fall behind!
For herself, for the band! For the sake of Xiangzi's future.
Timing it perfectly, and giving it her all, Gao Songdeng finally entered the classroom before the teacher came in.
