Volume 1: Chapter 64: Morning

"I'll go get some drinks."

Aragaki Ai didn't look back, and the other party didn't let go. When he turned around, Xiangzi shrank back again.

This is what weak Xiaoxiang is like.

He returned to his seat, took out his cell phone, and browsed around casually, only to discover that someone had already cut out Mu's playing tonight and posted it online.

There were all kinds of good reviews below. He swiped around lightly and noticed Xiangzi looking at his phone screen out of the corner of his eye, so he asked.

"Want to hear it again?"

"Ah."

The sound of the piano rang out again, and Xiangzi could feel the emotion of the piano even more, the strong emotion, the attachment to him.

I can only snatch him away for one night.

Mu...needs him more.

She felt a little sleepy. After a busy weekend, she was exhausted both mentally and physically.

At this moment, I feel a little relieved.

She still felt cold even wrapped in a blanket, but it was good enough to have a place for her to sleep peacefully.

In his peripheral vision, Xiaoxiang had already closed his eyes and curled up his legs. This sleeping position was not comfortable.

The video has finished playing.

Ai Aragaki put on headphones and started playing the song on repeat so that only he could hear it.

Ah, after Xiaoxiang fell asleep, he suddenly became quiet.

I have to go to school and work tomorrow.

He took out his cell phone and started contacting the store manager to move his working hours forward to daytime.

As for school, I just took a leave of absence.

Mu's piano lesson ends at least at five o'clock, so he must free up time after five o'clock.

There's a lot to consider.

In this small room, one cannot feel the passage of time, as if trapped in a world where time is stretched out. After finishing her school and part-time work matters, Aragaki Ai turned off the main lights and left only a small light.

Ai Aragaki slowly felt sleepy. She yawned, leaned against the wall, supported her body with her hands, and closed her eyes.

Do you want to sleep here?

There is really no way.

Before he knew it, he also fell into a deep sleep, and the passage of time became even more boundless, as if it would suddenly speed up and then suddenly slow down.

Suddenly, he felt something fall on him, which scared him. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that it was Xiaoxiang who fell down and used his legs as a pillow.

He was so sleepy that he opened his eyes, made sure there was no danger, and then slowly fell asleep again.

The next morning, there was certainly no sunlight in the Internet cafe's private room. The thin blanket was still a little cold for Xiangzi, and she subconsciously sought warmth.

But it was still cold, and she felt herself woken up by the cold. She opened her eyes and saw that the room was dim, with only a small lamp emitting a faint light, which allowed her eyes to adapt to the surrounding light and see clearly.

Xiangzi found that she had been lying on the sofa without him knowing when, with her head resting on Aragaki Ai's thigh and hugging his body. However, Aragaki Ai's sleeping posture was very straight, leaning against one side obediently, and it seemed that she had not moved all night.

It seemed to her that only a moment had passed, and she had just taken a nap. Of course, she still remembered why she was here and why she was sitting with the boy next to her.

Fortunately, she woke up first.

She put her hand into his T-shirt and hugged his waist. The warmth transmitted by him and the touch of his skin made her cheeks hot. Xiangzi quickly got up and picked up her cell phone to hide her emotions.

She glanced at the time. It was already past six o'clock the next morning. Among the many useless messages, she thought her father would ask her where she was yesterday, and maybe call her anxiously, but there was nothing. There was only a message from Su Shi.

At this time, the boy's eyes slowly opened a slit to observe her beside him.

Well, it was so embarrassing just now when I woke up.

I didn't expect that he was the one being taken advantage of.

Install it for a while.

After about ten minutes, Aragaki Ai opened her eyes and looked at the girl beside her.

"Wake up so early?"

"Ah."

"Now that you're awake, have you thought about your future plans?" Aragaki Ai took the phone. She seldom asked for leave and had good grades, so she got the vacation easily.

"Aren't you planning on having me work for you? It should be you who's thinking about our future."

Xiangzi's mood was still very low overall. What happened the day before yesterday was not easy for her to get over.

The reason why Aragaki Ai was so anxious to see her was because she was worried that she would be hurt more.

Hearing her say this, Aragaki Ai couldn't help but smile, a very faint smile.

"you sure?"

"determine."

"You're going to give me the rest of your life?" Aragaki Ai said with a smile, "Once you're on my boat, you can't run away."

"Then tell me first, where is your ship going? How are you going to get there?"

It was clearly their first meeting, and he was clearly the one who always lied to her, but at this point in time, Xiangzi, even beyond her own expectations, trusted him even more.

She turned off her phone, turned back, and looked at the boy, "After you finish speaking, I will consider whether to go up or not."

"Okay, I don't know what your family situation is, but I know that ordinary work definitely can't help you.

So, it goes without saying that I can turn things around and be good at my job, right?"

Aragaki Ai's eyes were bright, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and she stretched out her hand towards Xiangzi.

"Band, let's form a band."

"Band?" Xiangzi fell into deep thought and shook his head. "You mean Crychic?"

"No." Aragaki Ai shook her head. "I already have someone in mind. You play keyboards, Mu plays guitar, and I know a very capable mercenary for bass."

"mercenary?"

"She's a support musician in six or seven bands, and she's very good. You'll know when you see her." He was talking about Hai Ling. It seems that the work will have to be brought forward.

"What about the rest? The drum kit and the most important lead singer, who do you decide to choose?"

Xiangzi had already realized something, and he bit his lip and stared at him.

"For the drums, I'm going to choose a beauty blogger. Don't worry, she's equally talented, has her own traffic, and is pretty. As for the lead singer..."

The two looked at each other, and looking at his outstretched hand, Xiangzi hesitated, because she knew that he would not choose the lamp, nor would he choose the girl who represented her past.

Do you really want to hold his hand?

Aragaki Ai still said the candidate, "I want to choose Sumi's Mitsuka Hatsuka."

"What about you? Are you still not going to participate?" Xiangzi asked his question.

Aragaki Ai shook her head slightly, "If I don't join, it will ruin my worldview. A band composed of beautiful girls is more likely to become popular."

"Where's the lamp? Do you want me to throw it away?"

There was an obvious expression of sadness on Xiangzi's face, an emotion that he could not hide at all.

She asked, "And crychic, if we form a music band, what will happen to crychic?"

"Disband." Aragaki Ai's tone was calm.

"......"

Xiangzi bit his lip, the look in his eyes was hard to let go, he recalled his scenes in crychic, and almost couldn't control his emotions again.

Volume 1: Chapter 65: Borrowing Money

If she agreed directly, Aragaki Ai would be a little surprised. That was something that Xiaoxiang in his later years would resolutely give up after experiencing all kinds of hardships. She was not strong enough now.

However, if he ignored Xiangzi, in a dozen days at most, Xiaoxiang, who had been tormented by reality and had no strength left, would face the reality.

Having lost the support of the Toyokawa family, she had no way of balancing crychic and her part-time job.

Xiangzi pursed his lips, tears seemed to glisten in his eyes, he lowered his head, wrapped himself in the quilt, and did not dare to look at him, nor did he dare to hold the outstretched hand.

After a while, she finally made up her mind. Her breathing became irregular and she could feel her heart was about to jump out.

"I'll quit crychic."

"This is my own business. They should continue to move forward, even if crychic doesn't have me..."

“…” She stopped talking.

The slender and fragile hand was held together with his hand. The girl's expression was solemn and she spoke softly.

"Can I leave my life to you?"

"Please let me get involved in your life."

The young man in front of him was serious, with a serious expression and a determined light in his eyes.

There was still a glimmer of reluctance in the weak Xiaoxiang's eyes, an expression that was a mixture of her difficulty in letting go of the past and her confusion about the future.

If only it weren't a lie.

She shook hands with the boy, held her breath, and asked.

"What's the next plan?"

"Well, I will find a way to contact the drummer and go see Mu first today." Aragaki Ai had guessed this result a long time ago and paused.

"By the way, I need you to invite Chuhua. Sumi is a very popular group recently. If I go, I will probably be rejected."

“.......” Xiangzi nodded.

"Let's go then."

Aragaki Ai stretched her hands upwards and yawned. After sleeping here for a whole night, she felt her body was stiff, as if she had not bought a sleeper berth and had to spend the whole night on a hard seat on a train.

He stood up and pulled Xiangzi.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Have breakfast. I work at a convenience store. If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come to my house first. I'll be working during the day and won't be home."

Aragaki Ai explained it very clearly, and Xiangzi didn't even hesitate. He nodded and followed him.

It was still a bit cold in the morning, but fortunately it had stopped raining. The two of them were walking one in front and one behind. Xiangzi shivered, quickened his pace and caught up with him.

He took the tram back to his small rental house.

"Excuse me." Xiangzi stood at the door and looked at the furnishings in the room: a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and the rest were books, all kinds of books.

Her eyes were full of questions. After taking off her shoes, she used her hands to straighten her small leather shoes.

“Why is the bedroom on the outermost side?”

"..."

Aragaki Ai paused for a second or two before explaining to Xiangzi.

"Because that's the whole room."

He was always alone, but luckily his parents would come to visit him occasionally, so he had spare slippers.

She threw the slippers to Xiangzi, but she didn't mind. She followed him into the room and observed the books in the room.
