The lady can hear my voice

Today, Sora Niijima has realized all the things he didn't dare to do as a child but wanted to do very much.

Hongxia looked at the childish yet extremely cute side of Sora Niijima that was rarely revealed, and for a moment she looked at his profile with a dazed look in her eyes.

In the afternoon, when dusk was approaching, Hongxia and Niijima Sora were preparing to go somewhere else to continue strolling.

They ran into an old acquaintance.

In other words, he is an old acquaintance of Hong Xia.

"Sister Lisa?"

"Eh? Hongxia? How are you doing lately? Xingge, is she okay?"

Sora Niijima watched Hongxia chatting with the other party, so he stood beside her with a smile and listened quietly.

However, the hand holding Hongxia's has never been let go.

-

After the chat, Sora Nijima and Nijima Xia walked out of the crowded crowd and came to a relatively quiet path in the park.

Hong Xia looked at the hand that Sora Niijima was holding and began to explain, "The person I just met was the first person to teach me how to play drums. He was also the drummer for my sister's band during college."

Sora Niijima: "Sister Xingge's?"

Hong Xia: “Yeah.”

"But my sister gave up the band for me."

"When my sister said she wanted to quit the band, she was punched by Lisa. It was pretty miserable."

Sora Niijima stopped and looked down at the girl in front of him.

Hong Xia continued, "Because I know that my sister gave up her dream of music for me, so now I want to carry on her legacy and move on to a higher and bigger stage."

"But... I'm a little scared recently... Will Liang give up the band because of some family matters like my sister did back then..."

"Niijima-kun, am I... too selfish?"

Sora Niijima looked at her with a smile: "How could that be? Compared to me, you are not selfish at all."

"I forced you to accompany me for an entire afternoon, letting you unconditionally accompany me to realize my childhood dreams."

Hong Xia smiled helplessly and said, "That's nothing. Besides, I had a lot of fun."

Sora Niijima: "Maybe, Hongxia, you think it's nothing, but it's very important to me, because before, although I also had the opportunity to do these things, I was missing an important person by my side."

“With the important people by my side, my little dreams have meaning.”

Hong Xia was stunned: "Important people..."

Sora Niijima: "Nijima is very important to me."

"So, now that you've helped me realize my dream, I'm sure I'll help you realize your dream."

"Whether it was when you were a child or now."

"Hongxia, you really don't need to worry about Liang."

"She will definitely come back."

“After I finish the band, I will definitely step onto a higher and bigger stage.”

"I promise you that."

Hong Xia was speechless for a long time after listening to the boy's promise.

She suddenly understood the real purpose of Sora Niijima's mischief this afternoon.

Even if he hadn't met Sister Lisa, he would probably have said these words to himself, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall what her mother once said to her.

“Dreams will turn into light when you are in trouble and illuminate your way forward.”

But is it really just dreams that illuminate my way forward?

Hongxia only felt that the new island Kong standing in front of her was also emitting a dazzling light.

Not inferior to her dream at all.

Or... one more dream?

-

After returning home.

Hong Xia had just put down the ingredients she had bought when she saw her sister lying on the sofa, flipping through... her old notebook?!

"elder sister?!"

Xingge: "Oh, you're back, Hongxia. Were you so mature when you were in elementary school?"

Hong Xia: "What are you talking about?"

Xingge: "It says your criteria for choosing a partner."

"He's handsome, and he can play a musical instrument, preferably guitar... Hey, isn't this that guy..."

Hongxia blushed and walked forward to snatch the notebook.

"You are already an adult and you still want to peek into other people's things. Do you have manners?!!"

Xingge watched Hongxia angrily snatch the notebook away and muttered, "I didn't peek, I just found it accidentally when I was cleaning today..."

"But, it seems that I'm not talking about that boy. After all, that boy doesn't look like a loyal person... Tsk."

At the same time, Hong Xia returned to the room and opened her notebook and found the page that Xing Ge had just read.

Looking at his handwriting from elementary school, his eyes gradually softened.

Then the girl picked up a pencil.

The two words "focus" were crossed out.

-

Wow, please give me a monthly ticket! Last three days!

172 I want to be on an equal footing with you

After parting with Nijima Sora, he soon received news from Toyokawa Shoko.

During this period, Shoko Toyokawa has been busy thinking about the band's theme and selecting members.

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a week.

-

Sora Niijima came to the place designated by Shoko Toyokawa, and as soon as he walked in, he saw her sitting by the window...

And Hachiman Kairin?

Shinjima Sora's heart skipped a beat.

As for Hai Ling... he actually didn't want to provoke her.

After all, we are just friends now, so there is no need to force an upgrade.

And most importantly.

[Hai Ling already knows my true nature... The difficulty of the strategy is extremely high. ]

Hachiman Kairin: ...?

The sudden sound came directly from inside my head, which was different from the feeling of hearing it with my ears.

And the next moment.

The same male voice came into my ears the next second after the voice in my heart disappeared.

"Shoko, Hachiman-san, long time no see..."

Sora Niijima greeted the two beautiful girls with a smile.

Xiangzi was no longer wearing the same plaid skirt she had worn for years, but had changed into a new and decent light blue tulle long skirt.

This was also because Sora Niijima forced her to do it under the order of her boss.

Of course, she also knew that Sora Niijima was worried about her, so she felt particularly sweet when she saw him smile at this moment.

"Sora, come sit next to me, what would you like to drink?"

Hachiman Kailing stared at Niijima Sora and nodded as a greeting.

Nature? Strategy?

These two words have been lingering in Hachiman Kailing's mind.

After Niijima Sora ordered the same drink as Xiangzi, he asked, "So today is..."

"Hai Ling and I have been talking for several days, but we still haven't reached a consensus on the most critical point."

Sora Niijima nodded, "Hachiman-san, what do you think?"

Hachiman Kailing looked at Niijima Sora seriously and said, "Don't call me Hachiman-san. Just call me by my name."

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned when she heard this.

Eh?

She tried hard for several days before she was able to exchange names with Hachiman Kailing.

As a result, Sora Niijima took a big step forward right from the start?

No... Hailing-san... does she have feelings for him?

Toyokawa Shoko's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Sora Niijima was a little confused, but he did it anyway.

[I have always called Hachiman-san before, why are they suddenly allowing me to call him by his name? Could it be that Hailing doesn't really hate me? ]

Hachiman Kailing just felt that it was awkward because the voice he heard in his heart and the words he said in reality had different names, that's all.

After the little episode about the name, Hachiman Kailing quickly got down to business.

"Just being in a band in a normal way wasn't what I expected."

"And you're the one running this band, right?"

Sora Niijima nodded.

He has recently commissioned someone to help him start a company, but because some procedures have not been completed, he has not yet looked for a location for the company.

"I also want to invest in your company. If you agree to this condition, I can join."

Sora Niijima: “……?”

When Toyokawa Shoko heard these words, she had the same expression as Sora Niijima has now.

"Uh... why are you so obsessed with this, Hailing?"

Hachiman Kailing: "I don't want to be a puppet controlled by you to make money. I want to be on an equal footing with you."

After all, only in this way would he be qualified to confront Sora Niijima directly when something went wrong with Li Xi.

Once the relationship becomes one of employee and boss, Hachiman Kailing's attitude when speaking will also have to change.

Some things are hard to say directly.

Sora Niijima: “…”

Toyokawa Shoko: “…”

So aggressive!

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Niijima Sora with an apologetic look.

She had only heard from Hachiman Kailing that she had something to discuss with Niijima Sora, but she never expected it to be such a thing.

Niijima Sora coughed and said, "Um, Hai Ling, excuse me, how much savings do you have now? If you want to invest in the company, you need at least..."

Hachiman Kailing: "About 1500 million."

Sora Niijima: "How much?"
