Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

Lenai blinked and said, "Hey, you're back again."

"Yeah." Liu Hao responded, squatting down and saying to the girl with amber eyes, "That stone just now was the one you wanted to give me. You shouldn't have changed your mind yet, right? Can you give it to me?"

The girl suddenly raised her head. Even though she was the one being asked for a gift, her face was visibly happy. "Do you really want it?"

"I want."

"right here."

The girl pulled out the pile of stones from her pocket. Liu Hao reached out and took the one from her delicate palm. Then he handed her a bag of instant noodles and said solemnly, "This brand of instant noodles has a long history. It accompanied me throughout my childhood. Especially since it has a chance to reveal a card from the 108 Heroes of the Water Margin. It's very rare, so I'm handing it over to you."

"Yeah." The girl nodded very seriously.

"Of course there's a more important meaning." Liu Hao pointed to the Band-Aid on his knee and said, "This was given to me by a friend, so now that we've exchanged gifts, we're also friends."

"friend?"

"That's right, my friend." Liu Hao stood up, waved to the girl again while holding the stone's hand, and said, "So this time it's a different farewell. Goodbye, my friend."

"goodbye……"

One could feel that the girl became depressed again after she said goodbye, but Liu Hao felt no burden in his heart. He said goodbye to Yao Lenai again and turned away.

The girl looked at Liu Hao's back and the cute little panda on the package of instant noodles in her hand. Suddenly, she felt courageous. She stood up and said in a slightly louder voice, "Deng, my name is Gao Songdeng."

Liu Hao paused, turned his back to the girl, stretched out his right hand and waved it upwards to indicate that he heard it.

"Goodbye, my friend."

After waving again, Liu Hao turned around and gave Gao Songdeng a thumbs-up gesture, then turned and left, disappearing in the crowd.

As if all her strength had been used up, Gao Songdeng sat back down on the bench softly. She held the package of instant noodles in her hand, her mind a little dazed - could it be that what she had been seeing all this time was not just her own imagination?

At this moment, Takamatsu felt her sleeve being pulled. It was Lenai. The girl repeated her old trick and pointed in the direction of Ikebukuro and said to Takamatsu, "That's where they sell matcha parfaits. They're delicious."

"Well……"

Volume 37: Chapter Chapter The Differences in Parallel Worlds

Of course, the customer service phone line may be called 24 hours a day, including at noon, but after the company's seniors have finished their rest, Toyokawa Shoko still has enough time to take a short lunch break.

In order to save money and avoid being invited by colleagues to work restaurants and reduce unnecessary social interactions, Xiangzi usually brings his own lunch.

She had a small appetite. Normally, her lunch would consist of half a box of rice, a plum, a small piece of hamburger patty, and rennet tofu drizzled with soy sauce. However, today's lunch had an extra dish - a small box of braised beef with potatoes that she found at the bottom of the shopping bag Liu Hao had given her. She had even heated it up and wrapped it in a tin foil thermos bag.

[This vividly explains why I was so conflicted about whether to order chicken or beef. :)]

The Chinese handwriting on the note stuck on the plastic box was very neat, but the Japanese written below was a bit crooked and had a translation tone. It was obvious that Liu Haoyong had copied the Japanese using translation software.

Even with an insulated bag, the beef stew with potatoes was only slightly warm at this time. However, when paired with the completely cold lunch box, it had a unique flavor.

Xiangzi put the note against her heart. Her small nose felt a little sore, and her eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself to hold them back. A happy and shy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

He couldn't help but take out his cell phone and entered the extremely familiar chat interface. Xiangzi now wanted to get news about Liu Hao, anything was fine.

Xiangzi: The beef is delicious.

After a while, the girl received a reply.

Liu Hao: Right, now you understand my dilemma.

Xiangzi: Well, have you eaten?

Liu Hao: I kept eating while walking.

Xiangzi: Where are you going?

Liu Hao: Walking towards Shinjuku.

Xiangzi: Is everything going well? Did you encounter any unexpected problems?

Liu Hao: It went smoothly, and I encountered some interesting things... Please have some confidence in your own country. After all, it is a developed country that bans guns and drugs. Even if there are gangs, they will not make things difficult for an ordinary tourist. I am insignificant.

Xiangzi: How can I be inconspicuous? I carry such a big bag, a big water bottle on one side, and a long-handled umbrella on the other side, not a folding umbrella. I can be recognized at a glance even in a crowd.

Liu Hao: It’s not a big problem. Compared to those people on the street who are obsessed with 2D and riding ghost lights, I am much more normal.

Xiangzi: That’s true…

In fact, Liu Hao has already given up his original travel plan. Since there will be opportunities in the future, there is no need to rush.

In addition, he has some ideas that need to be verified by action.

By politely asking a few passersby for directions, or pretending to ask the store clerk about the condition of the goods, Liu Hao confirmed that he had no problem communicating with these local people who spoke Japanese. Judging from their expressions, they didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Hao speaking Chinese.

After realizing this, Liu Hao discovered that as long as he wanted, he could actually understand and see the promotional videos played on the big screen on the street and the Japanese words on the signs.

This makes things interesting.

Among the three people connected by the gravity connection package, Liu Hao found that he was always the one who took the initiative.

Xiangzi and Sushi can only send him messages, but Liuhao can take the initiative to send messages and make phone calls.

If the girls want to come to Liu Hao's world, they need to ask for Liu Hao's consent, but Liu Hao does not need the other party to express their opinion. As long as they ask during the call, they can cross over. ⑻

Now Liu Hao can communicate freely with the residents of this world, while the girls must be next to Liu Hao to understand Chinese and cannot communicate with others.

No matter how you look at it, the girls seem to be bound by rules, but Liu Hao seems to have no taboos.

After realizing this, Liu Hao wasn't very happy. According to common sense, rights and obligations are unified. He has greater rights, and perhaps he has to bear more obligations... This crappy package still costs his monthly rent. Can't you be a system or something? Give me some wealth and glory or superpowers, but I, Liu Hao, am a principled person. I understand the principle that if you don't take, you will suffer the consequences...

Even though he was complaining in his heart, Liu Hao slowed down his pace. According to his idea, he would take a quick look while paying attention to the channels where he could get useful information, such as the screens in some shops playing news, such as some things that passersby were talking about, and some banners expressing political demands.

While enjoying the air conditioning in a popular coffee shop, Liu Hao was dominated by the high-flown speeches of two bald uncles, Hanshin Masaru, for a full half-hour. The two uncles fiercely criticized the new Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika's governing strategy, which was to vigorously develop entertainment industries such as music and animation, while ignoring the real pillars of the real economy such as Mitsubishi and Toyota. With such insects leading Japan, how could it possibly restore the glory of the Showa era... Wu...

Perhaps it is precisely because of these intricate bifurcations that the historical development and humanities of the two worlds are basically similar, with only some differences in details. For example, in the year 2024, the Russia-Ukraine conflict in this world has just occurred, and the Federal Reserve only started its first interest rate hike last month... Without a system, I have to explore it myself. Perhaps these are all useful information.

Of course, it would be best to get a smartphone in this world and learn about the world through the Internet, otherwise the efficiency of collecting information will be too low.

Liu Hao sat down by the roadside feeling a little tired. He had already drunk most of the water in the kettle. Each sip relieved a lot of the drowsiness caused by the heat, but also made him start to daydream. He couldn't help but think about the meaning of what he had experienced in recent days.

Across the street from Liu Hao, above the mall sign, a giant screen played a video of two girls singing and dancing. One had innocent, black hair, the other a mature, handsome blonde. Liu Hao had seen these two girls on numerous billboards along the way; they were probably from a popular idol group. She'd even heard their songs so many times that she could hum them.

"Here, the world...I wonder..."

"It's a sweet pop song celebrating childhood friendship...it's quite nice..."

Liu Hao just casually sighed, but he didn't expect the listener to take it to heart. A female voice came from the side: "Everyone says this is a song about dreams and aspirations. How can you think it's a song about friendship? Or even childhood?"

Volume 38: Chapter Chapter The Lady Wearing Sunglasses

Liu Hao turned his head and found that a woman had sat next to him. She kept a polite and reserved distance. She wore a black brimmed hat to cover her hair, which could only be roughly seen as golden hair. A pair of large black sunglasses almost covered half of her face. She had a slim figure and was dressed casually. She should be a fashionable urban woman.

"That's because I misunderstood. You're right. It's a song about dreams and aspirations."

Liu Hao was not stubborn. Based on his life experience, one should never argue with a fan, especially a female fan, about anything about her idol, otherwise you will waste your good life.

The woman in sunglasses lowered her head slightly, her gaze checking the water cup on one side of Liu Hao's backpack and the awkwardly placed long-handled umbrella on the other. Before Liu Hao could get up and leave, she quickly said, "You misunderstood. Although I'm a fan of Sumimi, I actually think their song is a celebration of friendship and childhood. I just can't put my finger on why, so I just go with the flow. Everyone says it's about dreams and aspirations, so I think so too."

"Forehead……"

This was the first time Liu Hao encountered such a reasonable fan, rather than someone who was directly against him. He said a little embarrassedly, "This is the first time I've heard this song, and it was just a subconscious feeling. So it's normal for me to say something wrong."

"No, it's precisely because it's my first time listening that I don't have any preconceived notions. There must be a reason for your conclusion. After all, you and I feel the same way," the woman in sunglasses said sincerely. "Could you please tell me what you think? I can't describe it, so I'd really like to know your feelings."

“My feelings may not be correct.”

"Our feelings aren't necessarily right, but they're still feelings after all. It's not a small feat to meet someone who thinks like us, so it's okay to express them, right?"

The lady in sunglasses had a sweet voice and a smile that was so contagious when she pursed her plump lips that it was hard to refuse. Even Liu Hao, who was soft-hearted, was immediately persuaded by these words that matched her values.

"Then I'll tell you what I think."

Liu Hao looked up at the music video playing on the big screen and said, "Friendship is a feeling I have. There are two lines in the lyrics that are repeated three times: 'Where are you going? I want to know,' and 'Let's bloom together.' Combined with the song's overall lighthearted and yearning rhythm, I feel like this is the lyricist's message to a friend."

The lady in sunglasses nodded involuntarily, but she said, "According to this logic, it might also be talking about love, right?"

Liu Hao said, "Parting with love can be bittersweet, but songs like this are full of longing and beauty, more like friendship... Of course, this is just my feeling."

The lady in sunglasses agreed, "I think that makes sense. What about childhood?"

"The childhood claim... might be a bit far-fetched."

"please tell me."

"Yeah." Liu Hao nodded and hummed a melody from the song. "I'm very familiar with the drum rhythm of this music. The cicadas chirping on a summer night are almost the same. If this is a coincidence, then the guitar sound in this part is very similar to..."

"The sound of a rhinoceros beetle's abdomen rubbing against its elytra."

"The cry of a rhinoceros beetle."

Liu Hao and the lady in sunglasses said the above words almost at the same time. They turned their heads and looked at each other, both a little surprised.

The lady in sunglasses said, "I didn't expect that someone as sophisticated as you would understand these rural things."

"Ah? I'm exquisite?"

Liu Hao looked down at his clothes worth double figures in surprise, wondering if my country's light textile industry had developed to such a level, or if he really had some kind of handsomeness that ordinary people could hardly understand, that could make people say he was very exquisite. If he was not a top-notch guy, then it must be that the lady in front of him was wearing sunglasses, so she left her high-power myopia glasses at home.

The lady in sunglasses explained, "You smell like lavender essential oil. It's a very high-end fragrance. I can smell it."

"Lavender?"

Liu Haoyi realized something and took out the two bottles of essential oil that Su Shi had given him from his pocket. He always carried them with him so that he could return them to her as soon as they had a chance to meet. However, perhaps because Liu Hao had been carrying them with him all the time and was jolted around, some of the essential oil leaked out, and the lavender scent came from there.

"This was left behind by a friend of mine. I'm just from the countryside, so how can I be so refined?" Liu Hao said frankly and without arrogance. "But you're the one who's really refined. I didn't expect you to even know that rhinoceros beetles make sounds by rubbing their bellies."

"I only look exquisite. In reality, I am just the daughter of fishermen from a small island."

The woman in sunglasses smiled and looked at the big screen with Liu Hao. She said, "Cicada chirping, insects—these are all common images of childhood. So, you think this song is a celebration of childhood friendship, right?"

"If the logic is correct, then this is at least part of the theme of the song," Liu Hao paused before continuing, "but that's not entirely true. Maybe it's like reading comprehension, where there are a thousand different Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. The composer and the lyricist didn't actually have that in mind, and I'm just making a far-fetched assumption."

The woman in sunglasses shook her head and murmured, "On the other hand, the songwriter originally wanted to express childhood friendship, but so many people interpreted it as dreams and longings. They also had to cater to the fans' opinions and cooperate with the agency and manager to lie. The style also had to be popular and acceptable to the public. It's a betrayal of the original intention. It's really a sad thing."

"It's not so bad. At least so many people like her songs," Liu Hao said. "And maybe the songs are about dreams and aspirations. If she knew her songs could be analyzed from such a weird and tricky perspective like mine, she wouldn't know how to smile."

"Hehehe——"

The lady in sunglasses covered her lips and smiled gently, feeling a little relieved.

Xiangzi is still the same as before. Although she is a young lady, she does not care about the difference in family background and status when making friends. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a magical thing connecting to another world happened around her.

[And you, Liu Hao, you're certainly very perceptive, mature, and empathetic, and you seem quite musically gifted, but can you really protect her just like that? I think my duty is to supervise you, otherwise I wouldn't know what's going on between you.]

Liu Hao also smiled. He quite enjoyed the feeling of chatting with strangers but friendly people during the trip. This was a pleasure unique to travelers. However, he had already prepared some polite words such as "Although this is the first time I've heard their songs, with such an understanding fan like you, Sumimi must be an excellent group." Then he said goodbye to the lady.

But the lady in sunglasses spoke first, "I think your judgment is very accurate and you have musical talent, so you don't have to be so humble. It would be better if you were more confident."

"Ok?"

Liu Hao was a little surprised. Great minds think alike. He could even say the compliments faster than I could.

"When it comes to people who trust you, it's actually better to be more proactive and approach them more deeply. Otherwise, you might betray that trust." The woman in sunglasses stood up, smiling brightly and waving as she spoke. "Of course, this is just a small suggestion from me. It would be better if you could listen to it, or just consider it a complaint from me... Goodbye, it was nice to meet you."

"See you."

Liu Hao didn't say the polite words he had prepared, but just said goodbye normally. He inexplicably felt that this strange lady seemed to have something else to say.

"Yeah, I'll see you again for sure."

The lady in sunglasses nodded confidently, then turned and left gracefully.

[The first time you heard a song I wrote, you understood the hidden emotions within it. No wonder Xiangzi trusted you so much. So, Liu Hao, I will also trust you for a while. I hope you can be more proactive in helping her and not betray her and me.]

[Although I don't seem to have the right to ask you to do this, after all, I'm a coward who can only secretly watch your conversations and speculate and giggle, but I don't even dare to actively send her a message... But this is already a gift from God...]

Volume 39: Chapter Chapter Beware of Wakabamu in Northern Myanmar

Shinjuku is one of the largest and most prosperous commercial districts in Tokyo. It is not only home to high-rise buildings, department stores and shopping streets, but is also the home of the world-famous Kabukicho. Especially today is the weekend, and it is almost afternoon and evening. Even if it is not as crowded as at night, the flow of people is frighteningly large.

Nagasaki Suyo was carrying a large bass guitar and looking around in the crowd with some difficulty.

Nagasaki Suyo wanted to pretend that she had met the man by chance by carrying the cumbersome Bess. She wanted to hide the fact that she had seen Yanagi Hao chatting with Toyokawa Shoko for the time being, but she had been wandering around Shinjuku aimlessly for almost an hour and still couldn't find the man with the big backpack and a long-handled umbrella on his side.

The sound of the car engine mixed with the irritating heat wave. Nagasaki Suyo looked up at the big screen playing the Sumimi group's MV in confusion. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her messy bangs were stuck to her forehead. Compared with her usual gentleness and delicacy, she looked a little decadent and embarrassed.

Sighing softly, Nagasaki Suyo thought to herself to comfort herself, Shinjuku is so big, with so many people, wanting to meet someone by chance is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's normal not to find anyone, right?

Although she thought so, Nagasaki Suyo held the strap of her bass tightly and continued to move forward with the crowd.

She is not the type to give up so easily.

In fact, it was normal that Nagasaki Suyo did not meet Liu Hao, because he had been walking non-stop since he said goodbye to the lady in sunglasses, and now he had almost walked out of Shinjuku.

Because Liu Hao was being followed again, Jiao Liuqun:⑧}'五∩≯７〓∶六:＂露↑△⑶四〔,俬∩％和了.

To be precise, he was being openly followed by an expressionless beautiful girl.
