Social phobia and lonely rock

"I don't want to give Hayabusa-kun too much hope, but I still want to say that I like Hayabusa-kun. I said that just now because I thought it was okay for the first time to be with Hayabusa-kun."

"Although I may be worried about Hayabusa leaving the band, I don't think that's what I care about most. The happiness of being with Hayabusa and the wonderful qualities of Hayabusa are what I care about most."

"And I broke the agreement, you know that, right, Hayabusa?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa listened quietly as Hongxia opened her heart to him for the first time and told him everything in her heart. He also knew what Hongxia was talking about, the promise she had broken.

"Well, what we agreed on was 'if everyone is satisfied and accepts it, you can date me'."

Hong Xia lowered her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, as if more and more guilt was weighing on her.

"As expected, I remember, but you didn't say anything, Hayabusa-kun. Because of this broken promise and my love for Hayabusa-kun, I think it's okay."

She carefully looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa's expression, and couldn't help but take a step back and speak.

"I also hope that Hayabusa can stay with me more. Even if it means... you can do whatever you want to me in the future..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa touched his chin and said.

"Then it seems that we should try to start with the body and make Hongxia surrender from the heart."

The gradually strange atmosphere was broken by him in an instant.

Hong Xia was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what a jerk of a thing he had said, she didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed, her face suddenly turned red, even her ears were red.

"Hey! You're terrible!"

But Ishikawa Hayabusa waved his hand and said seriously.

"Then Hongxia likes me, right?"

Hongxia hesitated for a while before nodding, but she hurried to explain.

"But don't get me wrong, Hayabusa-kun. We can't be together."

"I'll make sure."

Ishikawa Hayabusa continued to ask without paying any attention: "I just want to confirm that even if Hongxia is with me with the other members of the band, she feels that it's okay. Even if we're not together, it's okay as long as she just does it with me. Is that right?"

It was Hongxia who said it at first, but now she is so shy.

"Um..."

The next moment, Ishikawa Hayabusa changed the subject and said very affirmatively.

"That's what Xingge said."

Hongxia's heart froze and she quickly denied it.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with my sister."

"There are too many denials." Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled, and finally looked at Hongxia's thoughtful eyes and asked:

"Then...if I can convince Xingge, can Hongxia date me sincerely?"

178. The Turmoil Before the School Festival (End) (1.6w words)

Although Hong Xia likes him, wants to stay with him, and even tacitly allows him to call himself her boyfriend, this seems to be an agreement to date.

But this is just her concession. With a grudge in her heart, she will disappear without a trace sooner or later.

Ishikawa Hayabusa is not the kind of man who would let a woman leave him with physical and mental scars. Now that he has caught her, he must hold on to her tightly.

Foolish emotions will never reach the end of life.

Hong Xia looked at her hesitantly, but her beautiful red eyes were filled with an extremely excited look.

She opened her mouth slightly and said: "Okay..."

But before the voice could be clearly heard, her words were interrupted.

...

Xingge actually came today as well. She knew that a few people were planning to package the CDs themselves. Last night she saw so many CDs coming into the store and was worried that they wouldn't be able to finish them, so she planned to come and help.

She knew she couldn't bring herself to help them, but she still tried to take a look.

And it's time to go to the store.

Xingge didn’t think arrogantly at all.

Taking out the key and opening the door, Xingge walked straight down the stairs. When she got to the store, she found that Ishikawa Hayabusa and Hongxia had only turned on two small lights, so she turned on all the lights.

The originally dim stars suddenly became bright.

Xingge glanced at the rehearsal room from a distance, the door of which was still a crack, but did not go over. Instead, he put the apple juice and notebook he had bought on the bar.

After making sure she was just there to check out the situation, she walked over.

When she reached the door, she glanced into the rehearsal room, and to her surprise she saw that only Ishikawa and her sister were inside.

However, she felt a little relieved when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa honestly packaging the CD.

Then she heard.

"Then Hongxia likes me, right?"

"But don't get me wrong, Hayabusa-kun. We can't be together."

She was nervous but also relieved. The previous reminder was useful. Her sister must not become the kind of person who maintains an unclear relationship with a man who already has a girlfriend.

But then she lost her composure.

"I just want to confirm that even if she is with the other members of the band, Hongxia feels that it's okay. Even if we are not together, it's okay as long as she just does it with me. Is that right?"

What's the meaning?

Do...what with him?

Also, how can we do it even if we are not together?

When Xingge was frozen in thought and didn't dare to face the reality, she heard her sister's shy response.

"Um..."

That response, which seemed gentle and lovely to the boy, was like a heavy hammer breaking Xingge's heart.

This was obviously what her sister had proposed before. Xingge couldn't imagine that her sister would be willing to do this.

This is even more humble than being a third party or a lover.

Xingge was totally unable to accept this result, emotionally, rationally, based on her past experiences and world views.

How could Hong Xia be allowed to fall to that level!

How could she allow her precious family to go down that path?

When Ishikawa Hayabusa said, "Well...if I can convince Xingge, can Hongxia date me sincerely?", Xingge walked in.

She looked expressionlessly at Hongxia, who seemed to open her mouth slightly but then her expression suddenly changed, and said to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"It's impossible to convince you. Get out of here and don't show up in front of me again."

Her arrival made the shy Hong Xia tremble, her face turned pale, and she looked panicked.

Hong Xia was so scared that she clenched her hands and huddled them to her legs, looking at Xing Ge with dazed and uneasy eyes.

Xing Ge was like an uninvited flood, and the sudden disaster overwhelmed the ambiguous atmosphere in the rehearsal room.

After a moment's pause, Hong Xia whispered in fear like a little girl who was caught doing something bad by her parents.

"elder sister..."

The eldest sister is like a mother to her. She lives in the Ijichi family where her mother has passed away and her father is busy with work.

Although Xingge has a bad temper, is arrogant, doesn't do housework, and still sleeps with a doll in her arms at her old age, she also supports the family and takes care of Hongxia in areas other than housework.

After Xingge came in and said something, she walked towards Ishikawa Hayabusa viciously. Seeing that he was still standing there, she reached out and grabbed Ishikawa Hayabusa's collar. Ishikawa Hayabusa did not dodge and followed her to grab his collar.

Xingge's face was dark, and he turned around and walked out as if he was throwing away garbage.

But even in such a situation, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not panic. He was not at all scared by Xingge's angry face.

He said with a helpless smile.

"Manager, I think we need to talk and calm down first..."

Before he finished speaking, Xingge, who hadn't expected him to dare to calm her down, let out a terrifying roar like a gangster.

"Who can be calm?! Do you want to die?"

Her angry shout made Hongxia tremble again, and she looked at the scene, not knowing what to do.

When Xingge turned around, she saw that Ishikawa Hayabusa was not nervous at all and was even smiling, which made her even angrier.

"You're still not giving up, are you?"

As she spoke, she suddenly punched Ishikawa Hayabusa in the face.

The boy who had dodged her attacks infinitely in the past, faced with this attack that he could avoid by just turning his head, did not block or dodge.

The fist hit him hard in the face, causing him to stagger slightly.

Xingge was a little surprised when she was hit, but she didn't get angry at all.

But when she saw that Ishikawa Hayabusa was beaten and still smiling as if nothing had happened, she clenched her fists even tighter.

"Wanting to die is..."

"Sister, what are you doing?"

The sound and momentum that Hong Xia emitted when she was angry were no weaker than Xingge's. Even Xingge, who was furious, paused when he heard the sound.

Only at this moment can we see that Hong Xia actually has the same blood as Xing Ge.

Hong Xia, who had originally been afraid to face Xingge, became furious when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa being beaten. She rushed over and tried to pry Xingge's hands apart, trying to make Xingge let go of Ishikawa Hayabusa's collar.

She pried open a few of Xingge's fingers, but how could Xingge let go?

Seeing that Xingge was still tightly holding onto Ishikawa Hayabusa's collar, Hongxia glared at Xingge and shouted angrily.

"Sister, let go!"

Xingge is not someone who would be scared by someone speaking loudly, she glared back.

"Just get back to the corner!"

Hongxia didn't say anything, but stared at her with wide eyes.

In this scene, Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was not showing any ability, just let Xingge punch him, as if he was caught between two ferocious beasts.

When he saw that the quarrel between him and Xingge was about to turn into a quarrel between Xingge and Hongxia, he quickly grabbed Xingge's hand, causing her to let go in pain.

Hongxia also noticed that Xingge had let go of her hand, so she turned around and grabbed Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand, pulled him around Xingge and ran towards the wide-open door of the rehearsal room.

"Hey, who told you to go out?"

Xingge hurried to the door and wanted to chase after her, but she saw Hongxia turning back because of her voice with a look full of resentment.

She stopped.

...

The two escaped from the stars and ran very far away.

Hongxia was pulling Ishikawa Hayabusa in front, and Ishikawa Hayabusa was following her. She ran for a long time as if she was escaping, and finally when she reached a small park, Hongxia came to her senses.

She looked back briefly at Ishikawa Hayabusa and reanalyzed the situation.

Her mind began to become fuzzy about what would happen in the future, but she knew exactly what she had to do. She took Ishikawa Hayabusa to a bench in the park and forced him to sit down.

"Hayabusa-kun, wait here for a moment. I'll go buy some medicine."

Ishikawa Hayabusa would definitely not let Hongxia, who was restless and unhappy, leave. He reached out and grabbed Hongxia who was about to leave.

"It's okay. This doesn't hurt me at all. Hong Xia is the one who is suffering more. Do you want something to drink?"

Hongxia was pulled to stop, looked back at him and shook her head weakly.
