[Sigh: Everything in the world can be hoped for, but true love is the shortest-lived]

"Yukino, shut up and stop talking."

Although Fujiwara Ryosuke did not have the same miraculous perception ability as he does now, he also realized something. He pulled his hand back, and his expression suddenly became stern.

He never seemed so serious. Usually, his personality was like plasticine, always smiling. But because of this, when he showed a serious expression, it was really scary.

"Calm down, go back to sleep, forget all this, and do what you need to do tomorrow. Do you understand?" he ordered coldly.

But Yukinoshita Yukino sneered and showed no fear.

"As your best friend, partner and lover, I don't mind doing my best to help you pursue your dreams, even if there is pressure from my family, even if I have to drag other people down with me, I will do it without hesitation."

"But the premise of all this is that you must also believe that you can succeed, and you must also look forward to and imagine the vision of success."

“And now, you’ve stagnated.”

"I asked you to stop talking. I promise, we'll be fine."

Ryosuke gritted his teeth and put his hands hard on Yukino's shoulders, but she slapped him away with just as much force.

"Some things...have to be said sooner or later."

[What is lost can never be returned, but what is preserved in the world will be returned double now]

“You’re not making the best decision for yourself.”

"Your band doesn't even need a keyboard player."

"Your music doesn't need me at all, right?"

The words hit Fujiwara Ryosuke like a machine gun, reminding him of the scene when he had a big fight with Yukinoshita Yukino when he first met her.

But this time it was countless times more painful than before.

"Who said it's not necessary?" Ryosuke frowned and tried to speak in a light-hearted tone, but it sounded like he had lost his voice.

"Are you still running away? You know this better than anyone else, right?"

"You just want me to be by your side, just to keep the four of us together. For this, you can even abandon the music you love most, the musicality that you should value most, and even the engine that pursues your dreams."

"If it were just this, it would be fine. But you are still deceiving everyone with a dream that you know is impossible to achieve, and dragging others to be buried with you..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice trembled and she was about to cry.

"Fujiwara Ryosuke, you only think about yourself."

She sniffed, as if the sword pierced through Ryosuke as well as her.

Fujiwara Ryosuke felt the same way.

In this situation, he actually smiled.

"What about you? Are you really qualified to blame me?"

"Yukino, isn't it because of me and to be with everyone that you have persisted in playing in the band until now?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned. Although Fujiwara Ryosuke seemed to be out of touch, he could actually see things as clearly as she did.

"Actually, you don't like any of that bullshit rock 'n' roll. You think the music doesn't matter, what's important is the people who play the music, right?"

"Don't you claim that you never lie? Then tell me, tell me that this is what you want to do, and that this is what you have always enjoyed. Then I will think carefully about what to do. I will even kneel down and kowtow to you."

Seeing her lower her head in silence, Ryosuke choked up.

"Can't you do it?"

Tears welled up in four ice-blue eyes.

"Yukinoshita Yukino, you've never been happy playing in a band."

"In that case, I understand."

[The enthusiasm of waving flags and shouting, gradually fades away with time]

He who loved music the most, and she who never lied, each betrayed their original intentions.

All of this is just fake.

But even after saying this, they still didn't give up.

"Ryosuke, let's leave together, go to England, go to Cambridge, and start over. Go abroad to gain experience, and return to join politics. This is what your parents want, right? This is the most realistic and correct path. Let's walk this path together."

"Please give me your life."

"Fuck the family arrangement, Yukino, stop fiddling with that broken keyboard and be my guitarist. Haven't you always wanted freedom? This is our freedom. I will make you fall in love with rock and roll. This time, I will definitely not fail again."

"Join me and fight against fate."

In the end, these important words were not spoken properly.

Conveying it in an awkward way is just a formality.

Like a drowning person, he struggles in vain while gradually accepting his own doomsday.

In the second semester of senior year, despite their best efforts, Yukinoshita Yukino's guitar performance failed to meet the standards, and Fujiwara Ryosuke failed to be admitted to Cambridge University.

They are all geniuses, and if they had really tried their best, things might have been different.

But he couldn't accept her boring and unremarkable so-called correctness, and he couldn't take her to pursue the illusory so-called ideal.

They were both too proud, and knowing each other's pride, they were neither willing to beg nor dared to order.

In the final analysis, it is still the lack of awareness to shoulder the responsibility of other people's lives.

[The tragedy and comedy of the world are played day and night]

Even though they were drifting apart and becoming strangers, until the very end, neither of them said they wanted to break up.

But they all knew that after this separation, they would most likely never contact each other again, just like two parallel lines that would never intersect again.

Airport, in front of the gate.

Although she knew that this was ugly, Yukinoshita Yukino kept looking back every few steps as if she was expecting something.

Fujiwara Ryosuke's gaze also remained fixed on him silently, as if he was expecting something.

Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman stood behind him and watched him go.

Similarly, even at the last moment, they still firmly believed that things would turn around.

Xiaoxue, please turn around and come back...

Ryosuke, you beast, just stop her for me!

Is it not possible to not play music, not go abroad, and just be together normally?

But the miracle did not happen.

The figure of Yukinoshita Yukino finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

Fire is everywhere, the strings of the zither are burning and broken, all sorrow and joy are reduced to ashes.

Hikigaya and Yuigahama squatted on the ground due to stomach pain, while Fujiwara Ryosuke turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and laughed towards the sky.

"It's okay. I lost my band and my girlfriend, but I still have e-sports! There are still Majors, TI and S games! There are still Uzi, Ame and Niko! Just kill them for me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

[The love-hate relationship between the two, the separation and love]

After that, the band and the society ceased to exist completely, and it was as if nothing in the past had happened.

Time is like a sandstorm, like a huge wave, sweeping away all traces left by people on the ground, and they forgot to carve the words on the stone.

Fujiwara Ryosuke did not accept the apology from his old man who had stabbed him in the back, broke up with his family, and refused to return to Tokyo.

He had sold all his musical instruments and equipment long before Yukinoshita Yukino left, and the only thing left was a folk guitar given to him by a childhood friend.

He was obsessed for a while, and then gradually learned to accept it all. Although it was a very long and painful process, and at one point he had to secretly run back to complain to his good friends, he finally did it.

The ever-reliable Shizuka Hiratsuka recommended Izu University to him and even once again stuffed him into a strange club.

Here, he started a new life again. By chance, he met his childhood sweetheart whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, and found that her life was also very different from before.

He had new roommates, new friends, new clubs, new hobbies, and a new band.

And I have a new favorite person.

Plural.

This is not the point.

Fujiwara Ryosuke rarely mentions the past, and the same goes for Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui. They live together, but they hardly talk about these things to each other. Only Yui will occasionally come over and nag Ryosuke when Hachiman is playing games, asking him to turn on the camera and saying with a smile that he betrayed the pink-haired clan.

As for Yukinoshita Yukino, I never saw her again after that day.

This is what destiny is all about, everything is the best arrangement.

I shouldn't have been in her story.

And my story has just begun.

As early as when he went on stage, Fujiwara Ryosuke had found the position of Toyokawa Shoko and others in the crowd. His eyes were always focused on them. Looking at their expectant eyes, he felt that this was his current motivation.

He likes his current life and wouldn't trade it for anything. He has realized that he will do his best for it.

Look, Iori and Kohei are trying their best, and everyone in the audience is cheering for them, with cucumbers and pandas, Riki and Hailing are swaying with their eyes closed and enjoying themselves, Xiangzi is about to jump up, Mu is laughing, and even Ms. Sushiro, who doesn't know what to do, has surrendered.

Aiyin was also taking pictures with her cell phone, but I wonder who she was showing the pictures to.

The senior members of the diving club were drinking and waving a big flag with the words "Grand Blue" written on it.

In fact, he couldn't see clearly at all, his vision was blurred, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

But it must be like this, everyone must be smiling, it must be a wonderful night.

If so, I will also...

Brushing away all the haze, Fujiwara Ryosuke smiled and sang the last line of the lyrics with all his might.

[A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be someone young!!!]

Unlike the perfect vocal that was performed with ease throughout, in the last sentence, Ryosuke's almost broken and deafening voice spanned the entire stage, as if it passed through the campus of Izu University and echoed on the blue sea.

It was as if it wanted to be heard by Hachiman Hikigaya who was hiding around the campus, by Yuigahama Yui who was at home in Yokohama, and by Yukinoshita Yukino in the early morning in Cambridge.

I am still the same me.

And at this moment, all the stories have been told, and the memories are gone like the wind.

Everything that follows is left to rock music, to the last minute or so of the outro of "The Train Goes Beyond the Clouds, and the Dream Rests in the Ninth Heaven", to the guitar, bass and drums.

In front of them, all the enthusiasm of the college students was ignited, and everyone started dancing to the rhythm.

Because they are young too.

The dyed brown hair fluttered in the sea breeze, dancing in the night sky with the steam of sweat. Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei played with all their heart, watching Fujiwara Ryosuke's back, watching him surrounded by the uninhibited guitar strings and the desperate drum beats, as if all the shattered starlight in the past was sprinkled on him.

The vitality that bursts out after being suppressed and depressed to the extreme is the true nature of Fujiwara Ryosuke's music and the foundation of his soul.

The bass in his hand roared and vibrated. At that moment he forgot everything and just enjoyed the refreshing feeling brought by the music.

As the guitar's drawn-out notes and the drum beats finally fell, the scene first fell into silence, and then erupted into thunderous shouts like a tsunami.

"GB! GB! GB! GB! GB!"

Led by the members of the Diving Club, the entire audience was shouting the name of their band.

“Haaaa…haaa…hahahaha…”

Fujiwara Ryosuke threw the bass behind him and supported the microphone stand. Even though he was in great physical strength, he was still gasping for breath, and those turbulent emotions finally slowly came to a halt.

Wow, that’s better than setting it up.

At this time, someone else started shouting.

"Encore! One more song!"

Instantly another wave of emotions was ignited.

"Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore!"

The host, who was about to go on stage to continue the competition, tactfully walked down.

More and more people were shouting, even everyone in Ryosuke's fan club was shouting. Such popularity made Fujiwara Ryosuke both happy and helpless.

He grabbed the microphone.
