Social phobia and lonely rock

Before Hongxia could say anything, Liang shouted in disbelief, "No one can be so cruel!"

Hongxia ignored Liang. She looked suspiciously at Ishikawa Hayabusa who was actually protecting Liang, but finally let Liang go.

"So be it."

Returning to his seat, Liang looked at Hong Xia, tears in his eyes, clutching his original share of the money.

Hongxia had long been accustomed to her expressions and subconsciously blocked her.

After counting the money in front of several people, Hong Xia took out a large shoulder bag, put the money that the girls were staring at into it, and took out the account book to record it.

After zipping up her pants, she let out a housekeeper-like sigh.

"I was thinking that if I joined a record company, I wouldn't have to save money to produce an album. Phew... Now I not only have to produce an album, but I also have to buy a commercial vehicle..."

After hearing her words, Pochi, who was originally feeling happy but uneasy because he thought he wouldn't have to work anymore with so much money, softened.

"The band has to spend a lot of money..." Kita also sighed.

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at the not-small shoulder bag containing the band's funds. He was wondering when the band's funds would become part of the Ishikawa family's property so that he could put his own money in it as well.

But he felt that day would definitely come sooner than when they would save enough money to buy a car, he said.

"I'll sort out the business car issue later. After I pass my driver's license test, I should be able to get one."

Hongxia looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa in surprise.

"Eh? Why is it Hayabusa who's taking the driver's license test? Aren't Ryo and I faster?"

She had no doubt that Ishikawa Hayabusa could get the car.

Unlike Hongxia who asked the question, Liang thought it would be best if such troubles did not pile up on herself, and she watched things develop quietly.

After listening to what Hongxia said, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her intently, which made her shiver. Then he suddenly stood up without saying a word.

While several people were puzzled, he walked into the utility room, took out a few discarded footstools, walked to the side of Hongxia's chair, and placed them on the ground.

He pointed at the pedal-like thing on the ground and said to Hongxia.

"Let's assume this is the accelerator and this is the brake. Hongxia, put your feet on it now."

Hongxia had a bad feeling for some reason.

But she still listened to Ishikawa Hayabusa's words, turned around obediently, moved her snow-white legs with perfect curves under her short skirt to the pedal, and stepped her little feet wrapped in canvas shoes on the pedal.

The other three also came over to watch the situation.

Ishikawa Hayabusa issued an order.

"Come and speed up."

She suppressed the uneasy feeling in her heart and stepped on the accelerator.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa saw Hongxia stepping on the accelerator, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He did not stop but opened the player on his mobile phone and tapped the screen.

A piece of music started playing, a piece of music that Hong Xia was very familiar with, it was their own song "That Band".

She has been practicing madly recently and is so familiar with it that she can play it with her eyes closed.

Then, the four of them looked at Hong Xia, who was terrified and couldn't control her feet, and stepped on the accelerator and brake frantically.

They all stepped back and returned to their seats.

"Hongxia is absolutely not allowed to drive." Liang said affirmatively.

Pochi and Kita also nodded in shock.

Although using the brake and accelerator pedals as hammer pedals would not cause the car to fly out, the visual impact made them feel their lives were threatened.

Hongxia, who was embarrassed, puffed up her cheeks and watched Ishikawa Hayabusa put the pedal back. She waited until he came back before she spoke.

"It's cool, it's okay to be cool..."

Liang didn't hesitate for a second.

"No."

Hongxia almost forgot that this person was particularly afraid of things that could endanger his life.

She turned to Ishikawa Hayabusa, who began to shine with unknown colors and kept changing strange poses.

After looking at him for a moment, she turned directly to look at Pochi.

As she shook her head frantically, she asked Kita who was beside her.

"What about Kita-chan, do you want to learn how to drive?"

Kita held the phone, his eyes sparkling.

"I'm very interested! I've always wanted to drive to some hard-to-reach scenic spots to take pictures and have fun!"

I know what you want to say is taking pictures, no need to hide it.

Hongxia complained in her heart.

This person is also troublesome. I always feel that if they accidentally fall asleep in the car, they will end up in strange places when they wake up and be dragged around to play.

She finally looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was quietly looking up at the sky. He seemed to know that his time was up, and he lifted his hair and spoke sadly.

"I really miss the roar of the engines on Akina Mountain during the summer vacation when I was 14 years old."

Hong Xia looked at him blankly, then sighed after a long time.

"Then I'll think about it later..."

She moved on to the next topic.

"Then let's make a demo CD and sell it. If you just want to listen to it, you can ask the PA-san to do it. The money is enough."

"Ah."

Several people nodded and agreed with her idea.

Because of this performance, Hong Xia received many requests from fans to make CDs for sale as soon as possible. Selling things and the band's further maturity are the two things that directly hit her excitement point.

She is eager to try.

Seeing that everyone agreed, she couldn't wait to raise her voice.

"There's not much time left in the summer vacation. Should we start right away or take a break?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her expectant smile and could tell that she didn't want to wait at all. If they agreed, she would probably immediately call the sleeping PA-san and pull her over.

Well, that's quite interesting too.

This is what Ishikawa Hayabusa thought as he wanted to avenge being teased.

"Take a few days' rest."

But he still persuaded her.

When Hongxia heard what Ishikawa Hayabusa said, she hesitated and her excitement quickly faded away. She looked at the others.

He explained again.

"I've been practicing for so long, and I just finished a performance yesterday. I've just relaxed my tension. Maybe it will be better if I take a two-day break to adjust my condition before recording the CD. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife makes the work easier."

Pochi and Kita were not in a hurry to express their ideas. They looked at Hongxia, waiting for her decision.

Only Liang stood up at this time, and she said stiffly.

"I've been practicing too much lately. I'm tired."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked quickly towards the stars without stopping.

Hong Xia turned around in dumbfoundedness to look at her slipping out and screamed.

"Eh?"

She obviously didn't expect the run to be so easy. They were just talking about their dreams. Shouldn't they use this momentum to work harder?

Ishikawa Hayabusa felt that Liang probably felt it would be better to take a rest, and the self-explosion just now might have made her a little shy, so she found an excuse to sneak away.

Seeing that the practice could not continue, Kita stood up embarrassedly.

"Then... me too..."

“Eh…?!”

Hongxia looked back at Xiduo again. She didn't expect that Xiduo, who was always serious, would be lazy.

Ishikawa Hayabusa scratched his head. It was strange that Kita chose to slip away at this time. Was there something wrong? She wouldn't go to find Liang, right? She probably didn't have the courage to do that.

Seeing that the meeting was so suddenly dissolved, he yawned and stood up.

"I didn't sleep well last night. I want to go back and catch up on some sleep."

Hongxia was no longer surprised, and she finally looked at Pochi.

When Pochi saw Ishikawa Hayabusa stand up, she also stood up weakly. Seeing this scene, Hongxia complained loudly.

"You guys don't want to be controlled by a record company, right?"

What Hongxia said was correct to a certain extent. After Ishikawa Hayabusa laughed awkwardly twice, he turned around and ran away.

After saying goodbye to Hongxia, Pochi quickly chased after him.

143. Dialogue

Coming out of the underground space and looking at the dazzling sunlight, Ishikawa Hayabusa yawned as he thought that if he went home now, he would have to sit on the train for nearly an hour, and he did not help but yawn.

It seems that the plan to move to Shimokitazawa has to be implemented as soon as possible.

He couldn't even calculate how much time he had spent on the tram this summer.

While thinking about it, he did not stop, but walked slowly in a direction different from home.

Before coming out of Fanxing, he noticed that Pochi looked like he had something to say to him.

Although it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand Bochi's thoughts recently, he could still tell what she was trying to do from this reaction.

But is it confession...or giving up?

Ishikawa Hayabusa wasn't sure either.

It's true that Pochi likes him, but will she give up everything else because of her love? Will she enjoy the satisfaction of self-growth and take another path?

He recalled how during yesterday's performance, Pochi did not respond to his greeting and turned his head to look at the audience.

Her figure at that time already looked somewhat resolute.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa is not a person who worries about gains and losses.

He walked for a while and came to a place some distance away from Fanxing. He stopped by the roadside and looked back at the exit of Fanxing.

Without any surprise, Pochi quickly ran out from the sunken stairs of the stars.

Ishikawa Hayabusa watched her stop at the intersection. She stared blankly at the route they were taking back, and her expression seemed one of surprise, confusion, and loss.

But the next moment, she clenched her hands in front of her chest and shook her head vigorously, her waist-length pink hair dancing with her movements.

After perking herself up, she tightened her face and began to look around. It was the first time that Ishikawa Hayabusa saw such an anxious and panicked look.

It's not about escaping, but about pursuing.

Seeing this kind of expression in Pochi still made Ishikawa Hayabusa quite moved.

When Pochi saw him, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and waved to her. In just a moment, Pochi's anxiety disappeared and she ran over with surprise and excitement.

She was wearing sportswear, protecting a canvas bag with both hands, and running towards Ishikawa Hayabusa with such momentum that it felt like a charge, making him feel a chill in his heart.

As she jogged, the joy on her face gradually became more resolute and determined.

She ran to a few steps away from Ishikawa Hayabusa, gradually slowed down her pace, lowered her head, and prepared herself mentally.

Seeing that she was about to throw out important matters without even saying hello, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and didn't give her a chance to speak.

Pointing forward.

"There's a park in front, and it seems like there's never any people there. How about we go there and talk?"

Pochi was stunned for a moment as she prepared herself mentally. She raised her head and allowed herself one last delay.
