Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Hey, let's go. I'll treat you to a matcha parfait."

"Matcha parfait, yummy!"

The cat lifted the kitten above his head with a smile on his face. His Martin boots hit the ground without making any sound. He moved lightly and jumped to the side to pull out the guitar case and effects pedal.

She ran back, "Let's go?"

"Okay." As she walked, Aragaki Ai sent messages to the two people, saying that she would wait for them at the ring.

Fortunately, it was an art exhibition and there was no time limit.

He asked as he took Maomao to eat matcha parfait and glanced at her guitar.

"Doesn't Lenai have a band?"

"No."

When she mentioned this matter, she showed no emotional change and was still jumping around happily.

How could a cat know so much?

The cat just wants to eat matcha parfait.

Ai Aragaki holds the cat in one hand and her mobile phone in the other, keeping an eye on messages at all times.

Once you go to the ring, you can't bring your cat.

He let go of her hand, said goodbye to the little white cat, and went into the store with Lenai and ordered a matcha parfait.

She was very happy eating, but Aragaki Ai was not so happy. Neither of them had any news, so nothing must have happened.

He supported his body with his hands and leaned back slightly, looking at the happy and contented Lenai.

"Don't you want to have a band? Lenai is pretty good, right?"

"I can't meet any interesting people.....Do you want to form a band? ...What position do you play?"

Eat two bites and say a word.

The cat shook its head and showed a very happy smile. If it was really a cat, it should have its ears erect and its tail wagging at this moment.

She turned her gaze to Aragaki Ai, waiting for his answer. The boy was looking at his phone without looking up.

"Me? I don't play in a band, but I know a band that's really in need of a guitarist. Do you want to ask them? The lead singer is a very interesting guy."

"Interesting?" Maomao became interested.

"He's the kind of guy who's going to start a band and play for the rest of his life. Isn't Cat interested?"

The boy's words successfully piqued her interest. She even stopped eating the matcha parfait and stared at his pupils.

She licked her lips, then licked the spoon, and a smile appeared at the corners of her eyes and mouth.

"Really?"

"Yes." Aragaki Ai nodded, "I can introduce her to you later."

"interesting."

The cat is not in a hurry and is content to finish the matcha parfait in front of him.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Not long after, she finished her matcha parfait, ran to the side, connected the effects pedal and speakers together, and started to improvise.

Ai Aragaki still felt that something had happened and was a little restless, so she sent them messages again.

At the same time, there is a coffee shop not far away.

Chu Hua handed the money to Deng and forced a smile on her face, but anyone who knew her a little would know that the smile was a bit bitter.

"Thank you for helping me advance the money."

"It's okay." Deng was also a little worried. He had just repaired his relationship with Xiangzi, so he wouldn't...

The two people each had their own worries, but in the end they converged on the same person, Xiangzi.

Chuhua then remembered the time and quickly took out her cell phone from her bag. Looking at the message on it, she quickly replied to Aragaki Ai, saying that she would be there soon.

She took two deep breaths, tried to calm herself down as much as possible, then turned her gaze to the girl in front of her, held out her cell phone, and spoke.

"Want to exchange contact information?"

"Oh... okay." Deng took out his cell phone from his sportswear pocket and exchanged Line messages with her.

"Sorry, I have an appointment with someone else, so I may have to leave first."

Chu Hua put away his phone, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

She didn't know how Xiaoxiang was doing now, nor did she know why she, who had rejected the invitation, would appear on the streets of Ikebukuro.

"That..." Deng didn't call her in the end, revealing a sad and helpless expression. If Li Xi saw it, he would definitely go to quarrel with Xiangzi again.

She watched Chu Hua leave, wondering if she had done something wrong or if she wasn't strong enough.

People come and go on the street, and Gao Songdeng is like an abandoned little animal, not knowing who to leave with.

The blonde girl quickened her pace, going against the crowd. Suddenly she realized that people were always looking at her. Then she remembered that she had not concealed her identity at all.

She quickly took out her sunglasses, but it was too late. Someone recognized her and came over to ask for a photo.

Chu Hua had no choice but to take photos with a few fans before leaving in a hurry. By the time she arrived at the ring, she was somewhat exhausted.

However, when she arrived at the ring door, the automatic door opened and sunlight poured through the glass.

The young man sat sideways, supporting his body with one hand, his face looking slightly worried, especially his brows, which were slightly furrowed.

After receiving Chuhua's reply, he still hadn't received Xiaoxiang's reply, so he became even more worried about her.

His figure was imprinted in her eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know when it started, but in her heart, this boy of the same age as her became particularly reliable.

Just seeing him brings peace of mind.

"Love...sorry I'm late."

"Hmm?" Hearing Chuhua's voice, Aragaki Ai turned her head instantly and watched her walking towards her.

He stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought something happened to you. I'm glad you're okay. Being late is nothing."

"No." Under normal circumstances, Chu Hua would definitely joke with him, but now he really wasn't in the mood.

She pursed her lips, sat down next to Aragaki Ai, put her bag on her legs, curled her fingers, and clasped her palms on the bag.

"Feel sorry."

You clearly warned me, but I still ignored your kindness and wanted to find out the reason for Xiaoxiang's transformation, but was bumped into by Xiangzi.

Chu Hua really didn't expect this. He lowered his eyebrows and hung his head, looking like he was about to cry.

Ai Aragaki noticed her abnormality, and the guitar sound over there stopped.

"what happens?"

"I just saw Xiaoxiang." Chu Hua's voice trembled a little. When there were no outsiders around, her emotions fluctuated.

"Tell me more about it."

Aragaki Ai's worries suddenly diminished. As long as nothing serious happened, it was fine, and Chuhua just met her in advance.

At this time, Lenai came back after packing up his things and looked at the beauty beside him.

He used his eyes to stop Chu Hua from saying anything else. The girl cooperated very well and knew that these words were not suitable for others to hear.

"Sorry, Lenai, the person I'm meeting has arrived, so I can't play with you."

"It's okay, thank you, Parfait, I'm leaving now." Lenai ran out the door and picked up a cat.

Volume 1: Chapter 199: Earrings

After Le Nai left, there were no other customers in the ring. Aragaki Ai ordered two cups of black tea and sat next to Chu Hua, listening to her explain the whole story.

He didn't say anything like "I told you this a long time ago, why didn't you listen?" He just sat there, slightly dazed.

After a while, he still didn't speak. Chu Hua stared at the reflection of the red tea and couldn't help but look at him.

"like....."

"I'll find a way." Aragaki Ai thought for a moment and slowly digested the whole process.

This matter actually had something to do with him. It was he who persuaded Xiangzi to come and see the art exhibition with Chuhua.

But he didn't expect that Chuhua would meet Deng and invite her to have coffee.

Meeting Xiangzi was not a coincidence. Ikebukuro seemed too small, and their daily activities were limited to a few places, so being seen by Xiangzi was inevitable.

Just seeing Chuhua and Xiangzi together, I don’t know what she is thinking now, and whether this awkwardness will be a big deal.

He took a sip of black tea and comforted Chu Hua first, "Don't worry, Xiao Xiang doesn't reply to the message, I will find a chance to contact her again."

"Is there anything I can do?" Chu Hua's hand unconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

"It's okay, Chuhua, just treat it as normal. There's no need to explain too much, and don't be too anxious."

Aragaki Ai looked at Chuhua. Her expression was a little panicked and she looked to the side, staring at the floor. She pulled his sleeves with both hands, pulling so hard that the tips of her nails turned white.

Everyone has things they care about. As long as it is related to Xiaoxiang's affairs, Chuhua will show a different side of himself and become so concerned and flustered.

He didn't think the problem was big. The cowardly Xiaoxiang was still avoiding him as usual. He would go find her tomorrow and ask her for the details, and it should be solved.

However, her attitude towards Deng and Chuhua in the future should be a little more distant.

Xinyuan loves to drink black tea, but Chuhua is not interested in it. He didn't pick up the cup and almost didn't take a sip.

"Let's go, I'll go pay the bill."

Chu Hua was slightly absent-minded, and his mind was no longer thinking about the harmonious relationship between love and harmony, but was thinking about Xiangzi.

She held his sleeve tightly, and it was difficult for Aragaki Ai to move even if she wanted to pay the bill.

Suddenly, she felt a warm hand stroking her long hair, from her head to her ears, and finally helped her take off her earrings and gently pinched her earlobes.

"Do you feel better? Don't worry so much. Think about it, if it was the old Xiaoxiang, would he think there was something wrong with you just because you met with Tomorin privately and distance himself from you?

Don't worry, don't worry. I'll go find Xiaoxiang. If there's any problem, just talk it out. Give her some time to digest it. If you're too impatient, it might lead to new misunderstandings."

Warm fingers touched her ears, and the boy's voice seemed to ring in her heart. She looked at him in the sunlight.

If it was the Xiaoxiang of the past, Chuhua might not have been so worried. It was because she noticed the changes in Xiaoxiang that she was eager to find out what had happened.

Chu Hua raised her head slightly and looked upwards, just in time to see his eyes, which were filled with tenderness, just like Xiaoxiang's eyes back then.

She slowly calmed down, looked at the boy, and almost wanted to hug him, but she restrained herself.

Chu Hua's emotions were slowly calmed down, and he felt a little peace in his heart. He grabbed his sleeve and let him stroke his ears, and a feeling of shyness surged in his heart.

"Well, Love is right."

"I'm going to check out first, Chuhua, wait for me to come back and let's go to the art exhibition together."

He let go and smiled.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, shining on the boy and illuminating a path to the counter. He even paid for his matcha parfait.

Chu Hua's gaze fell on the young man. At this moment, the aura on him that was very similar to Xiao Xiang disappeared. Love is love, and Xiao Xiang is Xiao Xiang.

It was not until he came back that she looked at the table, drank half a cup of black tea in one gulp, picked up the earrings she had just taken off, and put them back on. The style she chose today was more neutral, and it didn't require piercing the ears. It was a clip-like ear clip that only needed to be clipped on the earlobe.

They went to the art exhibition together. They originally needed to buy a ticket, but now they didn't need to.

There weren't many people at the exhibition. I thought it was a serious exhibition, but it turned out to be a small solo exhibition. The ticket price was very cheap and the venue was not very big.

It took less than an hour to walk around the whole place. Come to think of it, Chuhua still has work in the evening, so he definitely can't waste too much time.

She was a little distracted and had wanted to take this opportunity to find out how far their relationship with Aragaki Ai and He Mu had developed.

Now, I'm not in that mood.

The blonde girl no longer appeared to have any emotional issues, keeping all of her problems bottled up deep inside.

She and Aragaki Ai walked out of the exhibition together, turned her head and asked him.

"When is the next rehearsal?"

"I want to rehearse on Saturday and Sunday, maybe Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. I probably won't be there on Sunday morning because I have a piano competition."
