Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Aren't you mad at me?"

"How is that possible? Why would I be mad at you? I'm a guest, and you have this look on your face?"

Aragaki Ai pretended to be angry and spoke in a stiff tone, but if you looked closely, you could see the smile in his eyes.

After all, Xiangzi had been deceived by him for nearly three months from beginning to end, and he was already able to see through this kind of disguise.

She bit her lower lip, then released it, "Then why didn't you say a word to me when you were playing the piano during the day?"

"I'm playing the piano."

Aragaki Ai put on her warm smile again, which made Xiaoxiang feel that this liar was deliberately deceiving her and wanted to embarrass her.

"Liar!" Her tone finally fluctuated. She stared at Aragaki Ai's face, but she couldn't get angry at all.

"I didn't lie to you about anything." Aragaki Ai spread out her hands. "Can I have a drink?"

"Give me the ticket." Xiangzi stretched out his hand and turned his head, his expression still unchanged.

But Aragaki Ai knew that the awkwardness this time was actually not that big of a deal, and she probably had guessed that Chuhua and Deng had nothing to talk about.

"Here." He smiled and handed over the ticket.

Xiaoxiang didn't even ask him what he wanted, but gave him a glass of lemon juice and put it on the table.

Volume 1: Chapter 203: Taking the Stage

The lighting in Starry is not bright, but rather a little dim, and the inside and outside of the counter seem to be divided into two worlds by the light.

Xiangzi leaned forward with his hands on the counter, watching him drink lemon juice.

"Yesterday... you knew, right?"

"Yes, Chuhua told me." Aragaki Ai held the cup with a normal expression.

Xiaoxiang's face darkened for a moment, but soon recovered, realizing that he had gone with Chuhua after all.

But what could she say? Who was she to blame him?

In the corner, three people's heads were stacked together. Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head and asked.

"Who is Chuhua?"

"He should be the lead singer of Xiangzi Band, right?" Hongxia answered her, her eyes never leaving Aragaki Ai and Xiangzi.

"Boring, just a couple flirting." Xingge stood up, yawned, and put one hand on her waist.

"Oh? Is that so? Then why won't Xiangzi express his feelings?"

Hiroi Kikuri's squinting eyes became crooked, her expression was full of confusion, and her tone was questioning.

"He is indeed the person Xiangzi likes, right? He even brought dinner to Xiangzi last time." Hongxia had a brief contact with Aragaki Ai and had a good impression of him.

"Ah, Xiangzi, why don't you say anything? I'm so anxious."

Hiroi Kikuri held a bottle of wine in her mouth and watched the progress over there, wishing she could help Xiangzi finish what he said in one breath.

"Lets see."

Hongxia found that her sister was gone and didn't know where she went. Instead, Pochi-chan was carrying a guitar and walking into the corridor from the back door.

She grabbed the pink-haired girl's arm and placed her index finger to the center of her lips, pointing it at the counter.

Pochi followed her instructions and saw a young man and woman about their age.

Their conversation became quieter, making it impossible to hear clearly from this side. Xiao Gudu wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Hongxia.

Aragaki Ai put her arm on the counter, looked at Xiangzi inside and asked.

"Will you go to rehearsal tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will go." Xiangzi didn't know why he hadn't mentioned what happened yesterday. Normally, with his personality, he should have asked a long time ago.

"That's good." He smiled. He originally wanted to tease Xiaoxiang and say, "You won't even go to Mujica, will you?" But after thinking about it, he didn't dare to do it. He was afraid that Xiaoxiang really wouldn't go.

The weak Xiaoxiang is not easy to tease.

"We should be able to rehearse together tomorrow afternoon, and in another week, we'll be able to perform on stage."

"Ah."

“Tickets are selling very well.”

"........"

From beginning to end, Aragaki Ai only talked to her about some work and avoided what happened yesterday.

Xiangzi was becoming more and more impatient and had just brought it up, but Aragaki Ai turned around and changed the subject.

"You don't ask?"

"What?" The boy replied as usual.

"Chuhua has told you everything about yesterday, don't you want to ask?" She turned her head away.

"I believe Xiaoxiang can handle it." Aragaki Ai smiled, "The fact that you still go to Mujica is a good proof, isn't it?"

".......Um."

This kind of belief seemed to be more useful than verbal encouragement. Xiangzi looked at him with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, but not the morning after tomorrow."

"There's a piano competition, right?"

Xiangzi also knew his itinerary and knew that he had his own things to do.

"Yeah, but don't worry." He smiled. "During the performance, I will help you coordinate backstage. I will be in charge of all the projects. You just need to give your best and perform with all your strength."

"......it is good."

The subsequent conversation between the two became intermittent, and Hiroi Kikuri had no patience to listen anymore. She wanted to know when Xiangzi would go to him to express his feelings.

That look, that gaze...has betrayed Xiaoxiang completely.

Hongxia was extremely excited. She turned around and found that Liang and Kita were standing not far away.

"Are you here too?"

"Yeah." Liang nodded.

Like Xiduo and Hongxia, they were both very excited and it seemed like stars were coming out of their eyes.

"This person is the one Xiangzi likes. We are both young girls, but we don't usually talk about love."

"Well, we don't have many male friends, right? Especially those in common..." Hong Xia said.

Xiao Gudu remembered that some time ago, he didn't have any friends and lowered his head.

She doesn't have many friends now, only a few people from the band who ended up in it, and Xiangzi took the initiative to exchange contact information with her.

Hiroi Kikuri burped, her face full of confusion, and asked several people, "We won't get any results if we keep talking like this, right? Why don't you just say it directly?"

"Ah, you are too ungirly. How could you ask like that? At least you should find a suitable opportunity." Hong Xia answered her.

Soon, Aragaki Ai and Xiangzi could no longer continue their conversation because the live show was about to begin.

Ai Aragaki didn't go in either. She took the lemon juice, leaned against the counter, and drank it in small sips.

Xingge went to the front to check the tickets, and seeing that more and more people were entering the live show, she greeted Miss PA.

More and more people entered the venue. At first, they were scattered, but gradually, the stage could no longer be seen directly from the venue, and the shadows of people overlapped.

The smell in the air is currently the mint scent of air freshener, but after a while, the air will become unpleasant, and the smell of cigarettes and alcohol will "appear out of thin air."

There was a slight electric sound in the room, and the speakers on the stage emitted some noise from time to time. Not long after, the first band came on stage to perform.

Ai Aragaki was not interested, it was too ordinary. When she yawned, the noise at the counter would be much quieter, so she didn't need to put her lips close to her ears when speaking.

Xiangzi's attention is more focused on her surroundings. Although people often look at her, many people will not come up to talk to her because she is an employee.

But today is different from the past. There is a person playing with his mobile phone next to the counter, which has been attracting attention.

The woman over there looked at Ai more than ten times in five minutes. The woman who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old never took her eyes off Ai.

Time passed by little by little. Fortunately, no one talked to him, and Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief.

In such a noisy environment, there was no way to talk about anything. Aragaki Ai could only play with her mobile phone and treat the performance on the stage as background music.

There were still two good bands during that time who played a few songs that were barely acceptable, but the rest were bad.

The ending band was arranged in the middle position and it was their turn soon.

"Pochi-chan, come out of the box quickly?" Kita squatted outside the box, "It's our turn now."

"No, I can't go out." Her tone was tearful, and her hands were tightly grasping the edge of the cardboard box.

"Why not just wear a cardboard box on stage?" Liang joked. "That's a personal style. I remember a band that wore suits and put cardboard boxes on their heads."

"Is it okay?" Pochi's eyes lit up.

Afterwards, Aragaki Ai saw Pochi on the stage with his whole body in a box.

He sighed.

We have to help her.

Volume 1: Chapter 204 Live

Aragaki Ai climbed over to the workbench, grabbed Xiaoxiang, and whispered in her ear.

"I go first."

"..." The blue-haired girl stared into his eyes. The light inside the counter was still quite bright.

The boy didn't dodge.

She knew very well that if she left now, she would go to help Little Lonely. What if she held Ai's hand and asked him not to leave?

Will love.....stay?

However, the girl's hand still failed to hold his wrist, and she watched him about to leave.

Xiangzi's expression became very complicated. He looked at the cardboard box on the stage and then at the boy.

In the end, she said nothing.

Aragaki Ai smiled and spoke to her softly in a joking tone.

"Don't stand me up at tomorrow's rehearsal. If you don't go, I might get really mad."

After that, he turned and left.

[Game loading]

[Rematching Rejected]

The perspective changes once, but you see the same scenery, except that you were the audience just now and now you are the stage.

"We're the End Band, and our guitarist is...ah, that cardboard box over there."

Listening to Hongxia's introduction, Aragaki Ai took the cardboard box off her body, revealing her pink sportswear and black guitar.

The audience was stunned for a moment, and the silence was incredible, which attracted the attention of many people. Some people did not intend to listen.

The new band's music made me laugh because of Xiao Gu Du and Aragaki Ai's performance.

Then, thunderous laughter broke out from the audience, and the audience's attention was attracted.

"Ah, Mr. Ghost, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. Help me."

Xiao Gudu's voice overlapped with the laughter from the audience, making it difficult for Aragaki Ai to hear other sounds for a short time.

Kita covered his face.

So embarrassing.

Liang was just like the audience below, laughing happily, even laughing out loud.

Aragaki Ai's sight extended into the distance, and she could see Xiangzi coming out of the counter and approaching the live, and she could also see Xingge leaning against the back wall.

He turned around and looked at Hongxia.

Both of them nodded, and as the sound of drumsticks hitting each other rang out on the stage, the four of them began today's live performance.
