Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

After pressing the send button, Mu put down the phone, lowered his head slightly, and sat upright like an exquisite but stiff doll.

Chapter 104 Xiaoxiang must be concerned about me

"..."

After noticing Mu's reply, Nagasaki Suyo put down her phone and sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word.

Behind me is a bright floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down from the 45th floor, I can see the night view of Tokyo, with the illuminated lights forming a river.

Beneath me, I felt the soft touch of the high-quality mattress as if it was floating. In front of me was a room that was exquisitely decorated, but seemed too spacious for living alone.

Su Shi, wearing white pajamas, relaxed her body and fell back onto the big bed which was big enough for several people to sleep on.

She is very tired.

As a prestigious school with a long history, Tsuki no Mori has strict requirements for students' studies. Even though Sushi is an excellent student, she still has to work hard on preparing for the exam.

However, for Su Shi, the most tiring thing is not preparing for the final exam.

The screen of the phone that I had just put down lit up again, and this time the message seemed to be from my mother.

"I have an important project to discuss at the company these days, so I probably won't be home these days. Sushi, remember to take good care of yourself, okay? Do your best in the final exams, but don't work too hard. Health is the most important thing!"

Su Shi subconsciously flipped through the pages and found that there was a piece of news like this every now and then.

After all, how many times can you go home in a month?

She sighed with a wry smile, stood up, walked out of the bedroom, passed through the equally heart-poundingly spacious living room whose decoration style reminded her of a high-end hotel, and went to the bathroom to prepare to wash.

Living alone in such a large suite is really... depressing.

Sometimes Su Shi even wondered if there was a ghost or something living in this suite, would it make people feel better?

She came to the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

When she was alone at home, Su Shi threw away all the disguises she used when dealing with people. Her slightly messy flaxen hair and expressionless and beautiful face made her look in the mirror look cold and aloof.

"..."

Realizing that he looked a little scary in the mirror, Su Shi forced a somewhat forced smile.

I'm a little tired.

Xiaoxiang has not responded yet. Why is that?

She said she didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. We had such a happy time together in the band, why could she say such cruel words?

Did I do something wrong? Why did this happen?

Did Xiaoxiang misunderstand something...or did she have her own difficulties?

The series of events that have occurred recently have really made Su Shi a little exhausted.

The negotiations with Xiaoxiang made no progress at all, and the other party's cold and ruthless attitude made Su Shi feel at a loss.

Misfortunes never come singly. The scene in the aquarium that day is still vivid in my mind.

Aine, Tomo, and Akiie-senpai who was just a supporting musician. The three of them were like idiots, expressing their wishes to each other and letting the band continue. The scene at that time made Suyo want to laugh, but she couldn't laugh no matter what.

If things continue on this track, then... maybe one day it will become irreversible.

Aine will gradually integrate into this group, and Xiao Le Na will also join in.

What’s even more frightening is that as a support musician, Akihime-senpai might gradually develop overly close relationships with everyone in the team.

In this way, the seats reserved for Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu are also...

Su Shi sighed softly.

Earlier on the train, she tried to persuade Akie not to take Aine and the band too seriously.

After hearing my suggestion, she looked so distraught...

But somehow he mustered up the courage that day and said so many things to Aine that even those who heard it felt a little embarrassed.

Su Shi frowned, and even the movement of brushing his teeth slowed down unconsciously.

Xiao Deng said at that time that even if he was confused, he still wanted to try to move forward.

She is still the same as before...always saying things that are hard to understand.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Deng, even Li Xi...seems to think that the new band is better.

This is only natural, Su Shi thought.

As long as Xiao Deng is there, she doesn't care about anything.

Well, including Rakuna who is scheduled to join, and Akiie who is a support musician, out of the six people who can be called band members... the five people other than myself seem to be standing on the opposite side of me.

If this continues, things will become irreversible sooner or later.

We must come up with a new strategy quickly...

As she put down her toothbrush, Su Shi suddenly remembered the meeting that had taken place at RiNG's cafe.

Transferring to another school is not something that a student can make hastily. Senior Qiu Hui once said this.

She also said that the reason why Xiaoxiang quit the band and transferred to another school was probably because he encountered troubles in real life...

If that's the case, what should I do?

A trace of gloom passed over Su Shi's face.

But on second thought, this possibility gradually dispelled the gloom in her heart and made her a little excited.

If, if Xiaoxiang really refused to come back because of some hardship!

That means, her cold and heartless behavior doesn't mean that she really hates me, but just... considering her difficulties, she has to act cold and indifferent to try to make me give up that idea, right!

This is actually...Xiaoxiang showing that he cares about me!

This conclusion made Su Shi excited, and the enthusiasm that had cooled down a little was rekindled at this moment.

Then the conclusion is quite clear... As long as we can help Xiaoxiang solve the problem of unknown identity, CRYCHIC can start over!

After rinsing her mouth and wiping her face clean, Su Shi walked into the bedroom happily, fell on the bed, rolled around holding the pillow, with a happy expression on her face.

However, Xiaoxiang is now unwilling to even talk to me about her difficulties, so there is no way to solve it.

There is still a long way to go... At least we should first figure out what Xiaoxiang is facing now and what kind of difficulties have caused her hardship.

Of course, I can’t ask Xiaoxiang directly.

She has always been a gentle and independent person, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone. At this moment, she must be suffering because she can't tell everyone the truth...

So, we can only go in other directions.

Maybe Xiao Mu would know? After all, they were childhood friends. It would be great if we could get the answer from her.

As for Xiaoxiang, maybe I shouldn't bother her too much recently. She is worried about her own difficulties, so she will definitely not agree to my proposal.

As for...that new band.

Su Shi fell into deep thought.

That new band...what should we do with it?

Chapter 105: Preparing for Summer Vacation

Just as Su Shi was thinking about it, the sudden message alert sound attracted her attention.

"...Akie-senpai?"

She looked at the message preview. The message was sent in the group chat. It seemed that Qiu Hui was notifying her in advance that she had other things to do before August and would not be able to come to practice.

Akihiro-san, you are too serious. You are just a supporting musician, but you are asking for leave in the group chat in such a serious manner.

This seriousness made Su Shi feel a little respect for him, but he still felt it was a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, her position as a supporting musician was confirmed from the beginning. As long as Xiaoxiang's return as the official keyboardist can be confirmed, she can withdraw naturally, and no one has the right to object.

But... the only problem is that she seems to have some...

Thinking back to how Aie was distraught because of Aine's matter, Su Shi felt that things were getting a little tricky.

Senior Qiu Hui is a friend who helped Xiao Deng to resolve her emotional problems, and now she seems to have a good relationship with Li Xi. Although she is only a supporting musician, her opinions seem to have considerable weight in Li Xi and Xiao Deng's hearts.

In fact, even Aine... maybe she should be considered. After what happened at the aquarium, if I exclude Aine from the team... Xiao Deng will definitely not be happy. And if things turn out that way, Li Xi will definitely not approve of my approach. For her, any factor that makes Xiao Deng unhappy should be excluded.

call……

Thinking of this, Su Shi felt uneasy.

It feels like... I'm the only one being left out.

This won't work.

I have to follow the atmosphere in the band.

Even if it goes against my own ideas for a moment... I have to follow everyone's atmosphere.

If everyone thinks the new band is better... then I should at least appear to be trying to fit in.

Based on this...

Su Shi lay on the bed, replanning his future plans.

At this point, Aine could no longer be excluded from the team.

Fortunately, even so, it does not affect the overall situation. As long as Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu can come back, it will only be one more person, and CRYCHIC can still be considered CRYCHIC.

But, Lenai...

Su Shi frowned slightly.

After all, three guitarists are too many.

However, unlike Aine, although everyone now recognizes Lena's skills, she has not officially joined the band. She always behaves as she pleases, and doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm...

In other words, there is still room for maneuver.

Technology and stuff... Even if there really is such a need, Xiao Mu is enough...

"……call."

Having made a rough arrangement in his mind, Su Shi turned off the lights and closed his eyes.

She has always been one of those people who doesn't stay up late. It's still not too late to think about specific things carefully tomorrow.

Su Shi, with his eyes closed, gradually smiled unconsciously.

Regarding CRYCHIC...there must still be hope.

As long as I can stabilize the current band, and find out Xiaoxiang's difficulties through Xiaomu or other channels, then...

……

“…Come to think of it, I’ve finally finished writing it.”

After going downstairs to relax for a while, Qiu Hui found that her work efficiency seemed to have increased a lot.

After a night of hard work, the polishing work of the new work has been officially completed.

After sending it to the editor, the reply was unusually fast.

After a brief discussion, the new work was finally scheduled to be officially released on August 1. In other words, before that, Qiu Hui still had some related formalities and processes to resolve.

Therefore, she deliberately sent a message to the group chat between the band and Aine and the others, informing them that she had made arrangements.

However, compared to the writing itself, that was a piece of cake.

As long as you take care of these little things, you can greet the summer vacation with a happy mood.

"Summer vacation..."

Leaning back on her computer chair, Qiu Hui looked up at the ceiling.
