Social phobia and lonely rock

Hongxia looked at Hiroi Kikuri who was sitting in the next seat with tears in her eyes. She didn't invite this person to come.

This was their band’s celebration party, so naturally the money spent was the band’s collective money.

When Hong Xia thought about how they worked hard and earned money from selling peripheral products to buy alcohol for this drunkard and to make her drunken, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the money that was wasted in vain.

"This guy has a very keen sense of smell. It's best not to hold a celebration party according to common sense. It's better to hide for a few days."

Xingge held the unfinished wine glass and told Hongxia seriously about his experience in avoiding drunkards.

"Hey, hey, hey, senior, don't be like this." Hiroi Kikuri's happy expression suddenly collapsed due to the impact of alcohol.

She quickly cited her own value, holding up her glass.

“The more people drink it, the better it tastes.”

"That's true."

Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was sitting opposite him, also nodded in agreement.

But his act of surrendering to the enemy immediately drew Hong Xia's angry glare. Her face was stern and her pupils seemed to be flattened by her dissatisfied look.

Ishikawa Hayabusa hastily added.

"But you can only drink 3 shots."

"Eh~~!!" Hiroi Kikuri sighed, but didn't care much.

"This is not bad, brother is still the best."

She took another sip, the light shining on her red face, and she said again, "How long will it take for you to drink, little brother? It must be fun to drink with you!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa has no interest in anything that can numb him.

"I don't drink."

As Hiroi Kikuri sighed, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at Nijixia.

She sat between PA-san and Xingge opposite her. After hearing Ishikawa Hayabusa limit the amount of alcohol that Hiroi Kikuri could drink, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the orange juice and took a sip, then turned her gaze to the other people who were communicating at the table.

Her smiling expression seemed as if the previous conversation had not affected her mood at all.

Looking at her appearance, Ishikawa Hayabusa recalled the second half of the conversation when he was with her at the front desk.

That’s when the first bands started MCing.

At the front stage of the Stars, one can also hear the lead singer's passionate words, but his momentum does not break through the weird atmosphere here.

In this small space, closeness and distantness inexplicably each account for half.

After a moment of silence, Hong Xia carefully glanced at the side and said as if apologizing for her overreaction just now.

"Even though I said that before, Hayabusa-kun, I still want to thank you very much."

She paused after she finished speaking, and when she saw that he had no intention of speaking again, she continued.

"You've helped me so much with the band that I don't know how to repay you."

As she spoke, she secretly sighed in her heart. If Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't mess around with his relationships and no one in the band liked him, she would probably try to date him.

After she finished speaking, she vaguely felt that the people around her were smiling, and she quickly glanced at them.

Sure enough, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled very easily.

Hongxia was well aware of how quickly Ishikawa Hayabusa could get ahead of herself, so she immediately spoke seriously.

"Don't get carried away, I really hate you now."

Ishikawa Hayabusa did not dwell on the fact that Hongxia had said yes before but suddenly changed her mind.

He was only sure that Hong Xia had allowed him the right to attack her as requested.

"Really... I didn't help Hongxia much. I just tried my best to achieve it at the speed I wanted and the progress Hongxia wanted."

Hong Xia was stunned.

“The progress I want...”

She was very clear about the progress she had been keeping hidden in her heart.

Concerts in the summer, release of a demo CD, and album release in the winter.

But she only said it once.

Hong Xia took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"I really hate Hayabusa-kun right now, so it's useless to try to please me at this time."

"Yeah..."

She heard Ishikawa Hayabusa say this beside her, and then there was a slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Hongxia turned her head and saw Ishikawa Hayabusa standing up and approaching her.

He pressed his hands against the two walls on her side, forcefully blocking all her escape routes. She could only shrink back against the chair.

She stared at Ishikawa Hayabusa with wide eyes, ignoring all the noise below, leaving only his dominance and his dialogue.

"But I like Hongxia very much."

"Whether it's Hongxia's strength or weakness, or Hongxia's gentleness like the warm sun, her strong sense of planning, her little money-grubbery, and her occasional sharp tongue, she's also very interesting..."

Hongxia felt that every word he said seemed to hit her heartstrings. Her mood was disturbed by him again. She gritted her teeth and cried out in a low voice.

"This is not the time to say something like that! I'm angry."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled slightly and moved away obediently.

Hong Xia pressed her hands on her knees in annoyance.

The two were silent for a long time before Ishikawa Hayabusa spoke very calmly.

"In fact, I was relieved when Hong Xia said she hated me but still gave me a chance to date."

"If Hongxia is dating me directly just because of an agreement and has no other thoughts, I would be a little worried."

"If you don't know why you like someone, and you blindly start dating someone for reasons unrelated to love, then that's a terrible relationship, isn't it?"

Hongxia glanced at him secretly and felt slightly relieved when she saw that he wasn't looking at her.

"He's just a guy who has his feet on multiple boats..."

She said and stopped talking.

After a while, the band below finished announcing and started playing, and then Ishikawa Hayabusa asked about the real business.

"Speaking of which, Hong Xia wanted to talk to me alone about something."

Hong Xia said in a muffled voice.

"It just tells you to pay attention and not to be so caught up in all that mess that you forget about the band."

"What a mess..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa covered his face and sighed, this was clearly a lifelong event.

"It's just a mess. You actually let so many people date you. You must have used some tricks, Hayabusa!"

As Hongxia spoke, she became angry again and raised her voice slightly to ask.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the petite girl whose aura could not hide her guilty conscience and asked her.

"Then did I use any tricks on Hong Xia?"

"this..."

She was speechless. She also knew very well that other people gradually fell in love with Ishikawa Hayabusa through their interactions with him.

She didn't know how Ishikawa Hayabusa would win over the others and how to make them accept the current situation.

But just because he dared to openly say in such a small circle that he wanted to have a harem, and even openly stated the details of his relationship, there was no need for him to do any tricks.

Instead, she was more worried about whether her actions would disrupt the current balance.

"poor..."

After Hongxia finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Ishikawa Hayabusa seemed to have diverted the topic to her again. She was startled and quickly changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, everyone's playing skills are getting better and better."

"That means falling in love helps improve your skills..."

Before Ishikawa Hayabusa could finish his words, he noticed that Hongxia was glaring at him fiercely with a pursed mouth. He smiled and quickly waved his hands.

"Just kidding."

He stood up with a sigh and said with regret.

"When Hong Xia called me over, I thought I could get close to her, but I didn't expect..."

He bowed his head pitifully.

"Who told you to be so unfaithful?"

Hongxia accused with a triumphant smile, but as soon as she laughed she realized that something was wrong.

She should be very angry now.

She closed her mouth, clenched her fists and tried to regain her anger, telling herself that the man next to her was a scumbag who was playing with girls' feelings.

But the anger from before seemed to be gone and disappeared without a trace.

She could only replace anger with rationality.

"Hayabusa, get to the corner and stay away from me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa obediently leaned against the wall.

So well behaved at this time!

Hong Xia, who wanted to get angry, felt powerless.

But then I heard Ishikawa Hayabusa say it again.

"Well, speaking of the band, our band should be quite popular now. We can consider taking this opportunity to make a music video and release it online, and also announce that the CD is ready for sale under the music video. This should make a lot of money, maybe even enough for us to make an album."

Asshole! Now it's time to get down to business.

It’s not because Ishikawa Hayabusa is a playboy, but because she feels that her anger doesn’t seem to scare him. Instead, he is leading her in the right direction. Hongxia’s anger is rising again.

She let out a long breath. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and said to Ishikawa Hayabusa who was thinking seriously beside her.

"Hayabusa, give me your head and let me hit you."

"what?!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa was dumbfounded.

...

Back to the present, the PA-san on the opposite side said to Hongxia.

"Today's recording was perfect. It should be finished the day after tomorrow."

"Really!? Thank you, PA-san." Hongxia said excitedly.

"What what..."

Hiroi Kikuri interrupted the topic curiously.

"About CD production, we plan to make a simple CD of a few songs and sell it."

Hong Xia explained.

"Hey... we're just starting now..."

They were chatting animatedly across from each other, while next to Ishikawa Hayabusa, Ichiri was also pulled aside by Kita on her other side to ask what dishes she wanted to order.

Although Ichiri stuttered a little, he still honestly said what he wanted to order and discussed the various snacks on the menu with Kita.

For a moment, the table was bustling with activity, except for the area around Ishikawa Hayabusa and Liang, which was strangely quiet.

The two drank drinks, ate snacks and listened to other people's conversations.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was paying attention to Yili. She gradually became nervous again because of the joining of Xingge and PA-san.
