Who says meal replacements can’t be eaten as meals?

Ruoye Mu's body temperature is a little lower than that of ordinary girls. It feels quite refreshing to hold her in the summer. Feeling the girl's ears gradually warming up in her palms, Miss Su Shi's heart remained calm.

"As an alternative, Xiaomu, can you tell me that the school that Xiangzi will go to after transferring...is it Yuqiu?" Nagasaki Suyo, tender and affectionate.

Ruoye Mu's body was trembling noticeably, although not much, but Miss Su Shi still caught it well.

The highlight returned to the gray-blue eyes. Nagasaki Suyo slightly distanced herself from him, put her hands on Wakaba Mu's shoulders, and added softly, "First-year B class, right?"

The golden pupils suddenly contracted and the lips parted, as if Ye Mu wanted to speak.

But Su Shi spoke first.

"Thank you, Xiaomu. Sometimes not denying is a form of admission."

"You won't tell Xiaoxiang, will you?" Miss Sushi completely pulled her arm away from Mu, her tone still gentle. "I don't really like children like this~"

"I...can't." Mu's voice was still soft, and he didn't sound confident.

"Thank you~ After the club activities, I want to meet Li Xi again. Do you want to go with me, Xiao Mu?" Su Shi tilted her head and chuckled.

"I have ballet class today..." Mu turned his head away, not looking into Nagasaki Suyo's eyes.

"Oh, so you want to take a talent class." Su Shi turned around, put on his backpack, walked to Ruoye Mu's side before stopping again.

There was still a little blush on the girl's delicate earlobes. Su Shi looked away and looked at the straight stone brick road in front of him. "It's okay, everyone will definitely be able to reconcile. Just wait a little longer."

Nagasaki Suyo is gone.

Ruoye Mu stood alone in the pavilion for a long time.

It wasn't until the bell rang that he stood up and walked towards the gardening department.

======

"Can Xiao Deng sing Sumimi's song? I'll sing Hatsuka's part, and Xiao Deng will be in charge of Mana's part."

"I can't sing..." Gao Songdeng's amber eyes slanted to the bottom of his eyes. "I'm not good at singing."

“It’s okay if you’re not good at singing. It’s rare that we’re all here together, and it wouldn’t be nice if I’m the only one singing. It’s a pity that Sakuya didn’t come along.” Miss Aine tried to type “Haruhi Kage” on her tablet, but as expected, it didn’t show up. “I can’t find it…Haruhi Kage.”

“That’s the song I wrote with everyone…”

"What do you mean by 'it will end in failure again'?" Chihaya Aine interrupted Deng's words. "Why does Deng think that playing in a band will end in failure again?"

"I think...it's my fault." Gao Songdeng said in a light tone.

"Is that so? Then you must be feeling very uncomfortable." Chihaya Aine read aloud.

"But, isn't it okay if we just work hard to avoid repeating the same mistakes?" The song request board was put aside, and Chihaya Aine's eyes suddenly became empty, and her tone became serious. "You have encountered failure once but don't know how to start over."

As if she realized that what she said was a bit heavy, Aine-san looked back at Deng’s raised eyes and explained with a smile: “Life is so long that you can’t stand it. Next time, maybe you will meet a great band member by miracle. For example, isn’t Sakuya very gentle? If possible, I would also like to form a band with Deng-chan.”

The song request board was placed on the table, and in the end, Sumimi's new song was requested. Even if Xiao Deng couldn't sing, I could still liven up the atmosphere.

The sudden darkening of the room made his vision a little blurry. Takamatsu seemed to vaguely see Toyokawa Shoko's face, and only reacted when the light passed by.

"Then are you willing to... form a band with me for the rest of your life?" Gao Songdeng asked softly.

The air seemed to stagnate, and the familiar melody of Sumimi sounded, and Chihaya Aine tilted her head with a wry smile. "Hey, a lifetime?" Wasn't it a bit too sudden?

Chihaya Aine's smirk was a little harsh, shy, then sad, and then the despair of failure.

Gao Songdeng realized that he had said the wrong thing again.

There is no explanation... Then, the only thing to do is to run away.

So, Gao Songdeng pushed open the door and escaped from the room with flashing colorful lights, and also stayed away from the people who were willing to help him, once again.

"Little lamp?"

======

Running under the sunset, how youthful, so youthful that Miss Aine felt that she had not eaten enough lunch today. Why could the skinny and weak Xiaodeng run so fast?

At the corner of the building, Aine finally caught up with Takamatsu Deng who was running away, and grabbed the girl's arm with her right hand.

"Xiao Deng, wait a moment"

The white sign of Live House RiNG is somewhat dazzling under the bright red sunlight.

Chihaya Aine panted heavily, thinking to herself, this was actually a run for her rosy youth.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed."

Gao Songdeng did not continue to run away. Perhaps he knew that he was wrong, so he shook his head and apologized. "I said that weird thing myself."

"Thanks for inviting me to form a band, but... I'm sorry."

Takamatsu Deng bowed his head solemnly to Aine. He really didn't have the confidence to hold on to this hand.

“Xiao Deng…” Miss Aine didn’t understand her own feelings anymore.

At the same time, a pretty girl in a blue and black employee uniform who was reinstalling the billboard also turned around.

Shiina Riki angrily inserted himself between the two of them, raised his hand to block Aine’s sight, anger piercing his purple eyes.

"Light, are you okay?"

Gao Songdeng looked at the familiar figure and lowered her head. She always felt that there was a world between her and the black-haired girl in front of her. This time was no different. She couldn't understand Li Xi's plan at all...

"Are you Aine? What do you want to do?" Miss Lixi asked impolitely.

"Eh? I mean... Is she Deng's friend?" Aine turned sideways and looked at the low-pitched Deng Takamatsu.

"I'm asking you a question!" Miss Lixi's service spirit has always been consistent.

But Gao Songdeng's delicate spirit obviously could not bear it anymore, and he turned his head and ran into the crowd.

"Light!" Li Xi turned around and tried to chase.

“Wait a minute.” Miss Aine intercepted accurately.

It wasn't until the light disappeared around the corner that Li Xi turned around with a dark face. "What on earth do you want to do?"

“I’ve already told you that I’m her friend.” Miss Aine seemed a little aggrieved.

"Friends?" Obviously, Ms. Lixi didn't think so.

Chapter 66 When?

At 5:30 in the afternoon, during the evening rush hour, office workers in Ikebukuro district were rushing home to rest after work, while high school girls were gathering in groups of three or four, carrying their musical instruments, planning to start a happy after-school life in RiNG.

But there are always people who want to do something. The traffic light turned from green to red, and the exquisite round-toed leather shoes stopped at the edge of the road. Nagasaki Suyo looked at the two people confronting each other across the road and felt a little surprised.

“I say, talking to people with this attitude…” Miss Aiyin felt that the waiter who suddenly appeared in front of her was too bad at speaking. Even if she communicated with her British classmates in English word by word, it would be easier to understand than it is now.

"That's terrible." Ms. Lixi has always been outspoken. For someone who hurt Deng, she didn't do anything directly, which was the greatest respect. As for Deng's own problem? How could it be possible! Deng would not make mistakes. Everything was the fault of this pink-haired girl in front of him.

“You were the one who came to bother me first, right? Wait a minute…” Miss Aine had already called out the quarrel unit that she hadn’t used for a long time, and was about to fight for another 300 rounds, but the black-haired waitress in front of her turned around and walked away.

It's very strange. Why does she know my name? Ugh... Xiao Deng also...

"Are you okay?" A familiar voice came from the side.

Miss Aiyin turned her head and saw the familiar face she had just seen in the afternoon. The face had gray-blue eyes and long flaxen hair, but she always felt that there was something subtly different in the temperament.

“Sakuya? Didn’t you go to practice?” Miss Aine asked in confusion.

"Ah, are you Sakuya's classmate? Sorry, this may have caused misunderstanding, but I am actually Sakuya's sister." Nagasaki Motoyo explained softly.

“Eh? Twins?” Miss Aine put her hand to her lips, a little surprised, but Sakuya did mention that she had a sister. “I almost didn’t recognize her.”

"Well, they are twins, so what happened just now?" Miss Su Shi continued to smile.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Miss Aine, who always felt like she had forgotten something, suddenly had an idea. It seemed like she had forgotten about the small lamp!

Let's catch up with Xiao Deng first...

"Sorry, I have something else to do. Bye bye, Sakuya-san's sister."

Looking at the pink-haired girl who waved goodbye to her and then ran away quickly, Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head. She seemed like an unreliable child...

But, is Sakuya rehearsing now?

Nagasaki Suyo looked up at the huge RiNG sign, then walked into the Live House.

Let’s order a cup of black tea and wait for Sakuya to finish.

======

Shiina Riki was wiping a coffee cup left by someone, and his mixed feelings were mixed up by the sudden appearance and loss of the lamp.

I'll ask Sakuya in person after this is over, Shiina Riki thought, and a familiar face flashed before his eyes.

"How come so fast..." Ms. Lixi was startled, and only came back to her senses when she saw the green school uniform of Yuezhisen. Her tone sank. "What's the matter with you coming here today?"

Miss Su Shi paused for a moment, then moved slightly to the bar, pulled out a chair with a smile on her face, and contrary to her usual practice, chose a seat that she rarely sat in.

"I'll wait for my sister to finish practice and go home together~ But Li Xi, did you mistake me for someone else just now?"

"Tsk, if you want to place an order, go talk to Sister Kasumi." Miss Lixi put down the brand new coffee cup unhappily and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Little Li Xi." Su Shi's tone became a little more serious. "You just mistook me for Sakuya, didn't you?"

"So what? Are you someone's legal guardian?" Li Xi didn't look back, but still stopped.

"When did it happen?" Su Shi still smiled, but his hands unconsciously rested on the wooden bar.

"It has nothing to do with you." Shiina Riki turned around, his impatience clearly revealed in his purple eyes. It seemed that he would have to leave work early today. "Sister Kasumi, please receive me."

"Okay, I'll be right there." The brown-haired waiter with a hairstyle that he called himself Xingxing but was actually a cat's head called out from a distance, then simply put down the queue that he couldn't figure out and ran over to take the order.

Nagasaki Suyo, fingers interlaced.

Sakuya often comes to RiNG to practice, so it is normal to meet Xiao Lixi occasionally, and she doesn't need to think too much about it.

That's right, everything is logical...except Li Xi's attitude just now.

It seems that the two of them are more than just nodding acquaintances. Did they just meet today? When did their relationship become so good?

"What would you like to order?" A lively female voice interrupted my thoughts. The waitress, with a smile on her face, was holding a shorthand board and asking the question.

"Ah, then give me a cup of Assam tea, please." Su Shi said softly, clasping his hands together.

======

RiNG, practice room 301.

Sakuya played the last slap of the day. Her hands felt sore but also a little satisfied. She played it really well!

“Oh, everyone has worked hard. This way, the new MV will be available in a few days.” Miss Miao Meng checked the video and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are the least qualified to say this..." Togawa Aie took her hands off the keyboard and complained softly.

"I have made progress too, right Sakiko?" Miss Meow Meng skillfully shifted her focus.

"Ah, indeed, Senior Miao Meng has made rapid progress and can now do some simple cooperation with me." Sakuya took off the shoulder strap, carefully put the GB-4 away, and praised the big star next to him. "But Xiao Chuhua is still the best. She can sing and play such a complicated passage at the same time."

"It's all thanks to Sakuya's good cooperation. His base voice is so stable that I can perform freely." Miss Chuhua put down the kettle and started praising others.

"No, hehe, my playing is just so-so~"

Looking at Hatsuka and Sakuya who were gathering together again in the distance, Miss Meow Meng turned on the video recorder calmly.

"I feel like their relationship has gotten better." After practicing a few times, Ms. Qiu Hui put aside her doubts and simply sighed at the friendship between the two.

"Tsk tsk, I think Sakiko is about to fall. Hatsuko's methods are really brilliant. If I had such a level back then, I would have been able to conquer Akie in three days." Miao Mengqin was saying something incomprehensible again, and by the way, he was happy to receive a love punch from Miss Akie.

After putting her bass bag back on her shoulders, Ms. Sakuya walked naturally to Hatsuka's side.

"Let's go home together, Xiao Chuhua~"

"Okay." Sanjiao Chuhua smiled brightly.

Chapter 67 Tokyo Night Rain

Ichinose Sakuya had not been in Tokyo for long, but she was still surprised by the suddenness of the rain. It came suddenly and went away suddenly, just like her sister who was moody when she found herself browsing Crychic's SNS account.

Looking out through the windows in the corridor, there were pedestrians holding umbrellas. The continuous rain seemed to have turned into a second layer of night, crossing the steel bars, concrete and glass road signs.

RiNG's front desk does provide transparent umbrellas, which are cheap and light. But the girl with the musical instrument is a bit embarrassed. On rainy days, she always has to choose between herself and her precious bass. She would rather get wet in the rain than let the bass smell moldy.

Fortunately, Ms. Sakuya had a special car to pick her up today, someone else's special car.

"Luckily, Xiao Chuhua is here today. We never expected it to rain suddenly." Miss Sakuya's lazy voice sounded from the corridor.
