Finally, I became their white moonlight

"Well, I'll wake everyone up when I get back."

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded, as if she had come out of her strange state. After answering with a normal expression, she turned and walked into the bathroom.

Eight in the morning.

Ming Hai, who had put away his computer and was leaning on the lazy sofa reading, heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Oops, I overslept! Everyone, hurry up and wash up and get ready for morning exercise!"

"No, didn't you guys set the alarm? What time is it now?"

"Richie-chan, what about you? Among the five of you, I seem to be the only one who set the alarm?"

"Uh... sorry, I forgot I stopped the alarm before going to bed... No, if you had set the alarm, you should have woken us up earlier!"

"Sorry, seeing you guys were sleeping so soundly, I couldn't help but take a nap too~"

"Um...Is Narumi-san up yet?"

"Ah, Deng-san! Wait—"

Before he could finish his words, the door of Ming Hai's room was opened.

The gray-haired little animal leaned forward, and before he could look around, he happened to see his slightly raised, gentle and bright smile.

"Good morning, light."

Her voice is magnetic and soft, like a ray of sunshine by the window, which can easily warm the heart.

Gao Songdeng blinked, her pretty face unconsciously flushed, and she pressed her palm on the fair chest, unable to help but reveal a relieved smile.

"Well, good morning, Narumi-san!"

……Very good.

He is the same as usual, and I am the same as usual.

Nothing has changed, nothing has been lost.

Even if he were to date Xiangzi-chan, it seemed that... I could still be his "friend" for life!

There was a brief noise in her heart, but Takamatsu Deng didn't pay attention to it, because she was quickly pulled back to the corridor by Toyokawa Shoko behind her, and the door slammed shut, blocking her from the gaze of Minghai.

"Tōng-san, your pajamas! They've all been seen by Narumi-kun!"

“Eh…ah! I, I didn’t notice…”

"Really? It's too late now... Luckily I was wearing underwear underneath, otherwise I would have poked out Narumi-kun's eyes."

"Xiangzi-chan, did you just say something horrible as if nothing had happened..."

"It's okay, I'll go in now and erase that guy's memory and regain Deng's innocence!"

"Lixi-chan, is my innocence gone?"

"Uh, I, that's not what I meant. But after seeing Deng's body, I have to make that guy pay the price..."

"It was obviously my own carelessness that caused him to see it... I hope he won't blame me for appearing in front of him in such a sloppy manner."

"Tōng-san, please don't say that! As a normal boy, Narumi-kun might be thanking you in his heart right now..."

Ming Hai: Meow meow meow???

Is that how you talk about your man just to comfort your friend?!

——Toyokawa Shoko, you are a guy who forgets about others when you see your friends!

Finally, it's like a strict mother taking a group of children out for an outing.

Nagasaki Suyo sighed heavily, immediately ending the messy chatter outside the door.

"Can you please stop arguing and go wash up? Look, Mu-chan has already gone to the bathroom."

The footsteps quickly left his door.

Half an hour later, Shoko Toyokawa knocked on his door.

She was wearing simple sportswear, with no makeup on and only a little maintenance on her face, which exuded a fair and crystal luster. Her lips were a healthy and natural cherry pink, and her pair of bright and clear amber eyes were as gentle as water.

A headband of the same color as her eyes tied her hair into a tall and dignified long ponytail, adding a touch of youthful vibe like a sporty girl.

"We are going to do morning exercises later, Ming Haijun, could you please prepare breakfast first?"

"Of course, the ingredients are ready."

Ming Hai smiled, looked around as if to confirm, suddenly pulled her into the room and closed the door.

The girl screamed unexpectedly, and was soon blocked by the hot and moist breath in her mouth.

It only took a few seconds to adapt from struggling to submitting and then to actively catering to it.

After a moment, the door was opened again.

The girl with a flushed face and disordered breathing held onto the wall. She first turned her head and glared at the boy in the room, then quickly walked towards the bathroom, not forgetting to tidy up her messy and delicate hairstyle and appearance on the way.

Ming Hai walked towards the kitchen with a smile on his face, humming a fragment of the song and pursing his lips to savor the minty scent of the girl.

——Next time you can add some candy flavor. I wonder what it would feel like if two people shared a candy.

The air on the mountain was extremely fresh. When he walked across the eaves facing the courtyard, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, listening with a happy heart to the youthful and energetic voices of the girls gathering outside in the distance.

The pleasure of no longer having to endure and releasing himself to fall in love almost made Minghai forget the fate that would come to him sooner or later.

Or...

He knew that he would not die so easily in an accident before the "opportunity" came, so his mentality was much more relaxed than last night, right?

It's about nine o'clock in the morning.

After finishing their morning exercises, the girls took another shower and gathered around the dining table, listlessly eating the Chinese breakfast made by Ming Hai.

Fried dough sticks, soy milk, corn and lean meat porridge, sesame cakes, meat buns...

The delicious food and calories brought double replenishment to the body and mind. The girls who were tired from morning exercises quickly regained their energy. After tidying up the mess of cups and plates on the table, they sat down in the living room to rest and discuss the details of the upcoming exercises.

At this moment, Gao Songdeng suddenly raised his hand timidly, attracting everyone's attention.

"that……"

"I have something I want you to see..."

A notebook that was very familiar to both Ming Hai and Xiangzi was carefully taken out from behind her.

Volume 132: Chapter Chapter Kasuga Shadow

“This is the first time I wrote lyrics myself…”

Although he was a little timid, Takamatsu Deng still mustered up the courage and handed the notebook to them.

"Haruhi Shadow..."

Below this line of title is text that has obviously been revised several times and carefully arranged in the form of lyrics.

It is completely different from those records of fragments of life and pure inner expressions... She poured more emotion into it and spent more effort to bring together the scattered thoughts and emotions in her mind, trying to turn it into a song with a connected beginning and end and complete paragraphs.

This was not an easy task, especially for her who had just started learning music theory - the main theme, focus and rhythm of the lyrics were not comparable to those she wrote according to her heart.

However, Xiangzi once said:

"Mr. Deng has a talent for writing lyrics. One day, you will definitely be able to write the best original song for [CryCHIC]!"

So, while everyone was working hard to improve their playing skills, Takamatsu Deng did not hide aside and slack off.

Not only did she get used to better vocalization methods every day, she also exercised with everyone else and watched several instructional videos related to songwriting.

I try every night and think about it in every free time.

In order to live up to everyone's expectations and to fulfill my responsibilities as the lyricist of [CryCHIC].

——Moreover, it is also for the purpose of allowing myself, who is not good at expressing myself, to express the increasingly solid and huge emotions in my heart through song.

So before we knew it, "Haruhi no Kage" was born.

It was during the period between morning exercise and breakfast that Gao Songdeng finished the last part of the lyrics; although it seemed that there was still some room for improvement, she couldn't help it and wanted to let everyone see the lyrics she wrote as soon as possible, and wanted Xiangzi to put it into a song as soon as possible.

Then, I want to sing it out loud in front of that person as quickly as possible.

This was the only way she could express her feelings, but it was too late for her to expect a response...

First confession.

Gao Songdeng lowered her head and silently tightened her trouser legs. Her white thighs were pressed together without a single gap under her shorts, and her slightly tense body showed her nervousness.

After briefly glancing at the lyrics, Nagasaki Motoyo quickly sat down next to her, gently placed her hand on the back of her hand, and asked curiously as if to divert her attention, "Didn't you write the song "Becoming Human" yourself?"

"That song..." Gao Songdeng paused and whispered, "Those can't be considered lyrics. They are just words I wrote casually, and Xiangzi-chan made a song... Although Xiangzi-chan's arrangement is very nice, the paragraphs and format of the lyrics are incomplete... It can only be considered an improvisation."

"I see, improvisation~ No wonder Xiangzi-chan said you have a talent for writing lyrics." Nagasaki Suyo nodded thoughtfully, touched her soft gray short hair, and chuckled, "Deng-chan is not only talented, but also very hardworking. It must be troublesome to learn these things, right?"

“No trouble.” Gao Songdeng shook his head, his eyes, which were always timid and downcast, now showed a bit of determination. “This is what I should do, and what I want to do… If I want to move forward with everyone, this level of effort is just the beginning!”

That's what Ming Hai told her.

Whether it's on the catwalk, at the aquarium, or practicing every day before the debut performance...

She gained countless growth and faith from Ming Hai, and thus knew clearly the direction she should go.

It's like a seed that finally breaks through the soil, breaks through the darkness, grows and thrives, raises its still tender new buds, and faces the vaster and more boundless world.

No longer confused, no longer alone.

As long as she can stay with the people around her forever, Takamatsu Deng can continue to grow like this.

"Really? That would be great."

Nagasaki Suyo slowly put down her hand, glanced at the people who were reading the lyrics carefully over there, pursed her lips unconsciously, and murmured.

"Even Deng-chan has walked ahead of me..."

If it were me, how could I completely get rid of this last bit of confusion in my heart?

"Mouse-chan?" This time it was Takamatsu Deng who looked at her with concern.

"…Nothing, just a little emotional."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and shook her head, clenching her fingers and relaxing her frown as if nothing had happened.

A few minutes later.

After carefully savoring every word of the lyrics, Toyokawa Shoko put down her notebook, took out her handkerchief, and wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks with great emotion.

"Haruhi Kage...these lyrics belong to us."

Full of warmth and affection.

Clear and pure, a cry condensed from the heart...

"There is no doubt that the first original song of [CryCHIC] is none other than "Haruhi Kage" - thank you, Mr. Deng, for writing such great lyrics!"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Takamatsu Deng with bright eyes and high spirits, her tone excited and full of extremely solemn gratitude.

The gray-haired girl was a little flattered. She sat obediently on the sofa without saying a word, but responded to her enthusiasm with a reassured look.

"Of course, you still don't believe in the power of the lamp?"

As the first light blower of the whole group, Shiina Riki rubbed his nose with pride, his eyes were a little moist, and he was obviously touched by these lyrics, but he was more reserved: "Xiangzi, with such good lyrics, you have to write a good song."

"Of course!" Toyokawa Shoko said loudly without question, "I will... no, I will write a song that matches these lyrics! Then from now on, we will quickly perfect "Haruhi Kage" and sing it to every fan and listener at Live, so that they can share this heartfelt emotion with us!"

"Saki, how about today's practice?" Wakaba Mu asked softly, "As usual? After all, the song hasn't been written yet..."

"Well, as usual. But I want to add a few more songs of different styles, maybe it can inspire inspiration during practice..."

The girls started discussing enthusiastically and made a series of arrangements around this original song which had just taken shape.

Ming Hai did not interrupt, but just silently read the two lines of lyrics "Please stay like this forever, don't leave my side... Never, ever, don't leave my side", then raised his head and met the eyes of the gray-haired girl who had been secretly staring at him.

——For some reason, the strange dream that he had already forgotten came to his mind again.

But the "you" in the lyrics, or the person the whole song wants to talk to, should only be Xiangzi and [CryCHIC], right?

After all, there are lyrics like "Why is your palm so warm?", and he never held Takamatsu's hand...

Well, at that time the aquarium not only held the baby, but also hugged him.

When I think about it this way, this song is no different from a love letter...
