Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

"It's Sumimi's Hatsuka."

"The one playing guitar?"

"Yes, she also wrote the lyrics and composed the music."

"What a coincidence?"

Liu Hao turned her head in surprise, looking at Toyokawa Shoko's innocent and flawless profile. She thought about her own theory about the song. If it really was about childhood friendship, could it be that she wrote it for Shoko? Given Shoko's charm, that seemed possible.

Well, Toyokawa Shoko, you are such a sinful woman. It's your fault for being so cute.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Xiangzi raised his head and glanced at Liu Hao, then looked him in the eye and said, "That's why I said your outfit is really eye-catching."

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, from just now until now I have noticed that many men have secretly turned their heads to look at me. I am a little too attractive."

Xiangzi said with a smile, "Are you sure they're not looking at me?"

"No, I could tell they were gay right away."

"Yeah, I have bad intentions towards you."

"Huh, that's masculine charm."

"Hehehe..."

Liu Hao and Xiangzi smiled at each other and walked and talked about the day. It felt like time seemed to slow down.

"Everyone is talking about me. How about you today?"

Xiangzi pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't have work experience. Every day is actually the same, there's nothing much to say."

"Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Liu Hao noticed Xiangzi's reaction and immediately added, "You've been in a band before, and you play the piano so well. I think you must have a dream in music. I see that Tokyo has a strong music scene, and your Prime Minister has also said that you want to vigorously develop the music industry."

Xiangzi fell silent again.

Liu Hao did not ask any more questions, but just walked quietly with her. The warm yellow street lights made their shadows longer and longer.

Finally, after dozens of seconds, Shoko Toyokawa raised her pretty face and fixed her beautiful eyes.

She asked, "Liu Hao, do you think a dream is still a dream after it succumbs to reality?"

Volume 44: Chapter : Conception of the Galaxy Battleship

Liu Hao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before asking, "What exactly is your dream? To play the music you love?"

"Well, that's what I used to think."

Toyokawa Shoko looked up slightly. The night sky in the big city was pitch black and starless, and even the moon was only a crescent. "I want to write my own feelings into a song and sing it out loud. It's such a naive dream."

"No, this is not your dream."

"Ah?" Faced with Liu Hao's firm answer, Xiangzi blinked in confusion. Even if you understand me very well, you don't understand me better than I understand myself, right?

Liu Hao explained, "If this is your dream, then it's very easy to achieve. You have the ability to write songs, and you can definitely sing the songs you wrote. Okay, you can entertain yourself at home, and your dream will come true. Isn't it too simple?"

"Hmm...it seems so..."

"So to be more precise, your dream is to play and sing your own songs and have more people like them, right?"

"Ah."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. What Liu Hao said was just emphasizing the part that was omitted by convention. People with musical dreams certainly don’t think about entertaining themselves, but hope to shine on a bigger stage and have more people like and recognize their music.

"And when you say you're succumbing to reality, you're probably referring to things like pandering to the masses and using marketing gimmicks, right?" Liu Hao shook his finger and said, "So my answer is, I don't think this is a departure from my dreams. Getting more people to like your songs is part of the dream. If you can't let people hear your songs, how can they really like them? This is the gradual process of achieving my dreams."

"Dreams are something people yearn for, but their realization requires a down-to-earth approach. Without economic benefits, how could there be such a large music industry chain, and how could there be stars who are cheered and admired by thousands of people on stage?"

"Dreams, reality, and money are not mutually exclusive in some cases. It's just that everyone dreams."

Liu Hao paused, looked at Xiangzi's pretty face and said, "You must have had similar thoughts a long time ago, right?"

"Hmm..." Xiangzi responded softly, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed. "How come you can even guess something like this?"

"Because it's easy to guess," Liu Hao said somewhat complacently. "If you just muddle along and don't try to break the deadlock, then you're not Toyokawa Shoko. If you want to break the deadlock, you must choose the method you are best at and most confident in. You've been in a band before, and you have musical talent and dreams, so it's easy for you to think in this direction... Am I right?"

Xiangzi glanced at Liu Hao with a flickering look in his eyes and said, "I guess you've fooled me."

"Hehehe..."

⒎ “Are you still smiling foolishly?”

Liu: "How can you be stupid? It's clearly a smug smile."

Lu: "Just stupid, stupid."

3 Liu Hao followed Xiangzi and walked into a small restaurant on the street. It was obviously a restaurant suitable for working class people and served authentic Japanese curry.

④ Of course, Xiangzi treated the two of them to curry rice. Liu Hao returned the 10,000 yen he had earned in the morning to Xiangzi, and also used the money he had earned from his part-time job to buy a fried pork chop and shrimp balls. Anyway, the money would be of no use to him if he took it back, so his reason was very convincing, so convincing that Xiangzi couldn't refuse.

"Of course I've thought about it. If I continue working like this, I'll just be dying slowly. There's no way to change the situation."

2 Xiangzi sat opposite Liu Hao, holding the wooden cup of tea in both hands. Since the matter had been pointed out by Liu Hao, she actually wanted to talk and wanted to ask for the opinion of a reliable person.

Yue Liuhao agreed: "As long as you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship. If you can endure the most hardship, your boss will drive a Land Rover in Ginza."

Fei Xiangzi smiled, then lowered his head to look at the ripples in his tea. "If I could form a strong band, debut quickly, and achieve commercial success, perhaps that would alleviate my current situation. More importantly, it would prove my ability and live up to my Fengchuan name... But the so-called succumbing to reality is just an excuse. Forming a band like this isn't easy."

Qun Liuhao nodded. Success is sometimes inevitable, but more often it is accidental. Building a galactic fleet is actually more difficult than starting from scratch, especially when there is not much capital.

: "Can you tell me about it? I want to know something about the band."

"Ah."

The waiter brought up the delicious curry rice. While the two of them were eating, Liu Hao listened to Xiangzi talk about the band.

In Japan, the world's second largest pop music market, there is a fairly complete band industry chain.

Generally, low-level bands will sign up for various LiveHouse performances to satisfy their stage desire, or gradually accumulate popularity and perform in larger LiveHouses until they sign with an agency and officially debut, becoming a real commercial band.

The problem is that LiveHouse performances require the band to pay a registration fee, and some even require band members to distribute tickets. If the popularity is not high enough, the ticket share will be very low.

It often happens that members of low-level bands have to work and practice at the same time, and only when they save enough money can they perform at a LiveHouse. The ticket sales revenue is not enough to cover the registration fee, so they have to continue working... If their popularity does not improve, this vicious cycle will continue.

If Xiangzi wanted to break through by commercializing the band, it would be impossible for her to start from the bottom. She did not have the time and energy for that. She had to aim for commercialization from the beginning, which was quite difficult.

"If you want to officially debut, you have to be signed by an agency, or have the capital, or the ability to convince the agency. And that requires exceptional band members," Xiangzi said with a self-deprecating laugh. "And then you have to force your ideas on others. If they fail, how can I be responsible for their lives? So ideas are always just ideas."

Liu Hao nodded knowingly. He didn't doubt that Toyokawa Shoko could find excellent band members. After all, even popular idols were her friends. Although her previous band CRYCHIC seemed quite amateurish, and the other members besides her didn't seem to have any musical aspirations...

So the biggest problem is actually money.

Even if you have talent, you still need capital to make a big profit with a small investment.

Perhaps I do have a solution, but the problem is that it's not realistic to get something for nothing. I need to find a way to get the start-up capital...

Liu held his chin and said, "These are indeed objective difficulties, but you must have been preparing for them, right?"

Xiangzi took out a tissue, wiped his lips and said, "No, I don't even have an idea who to choose."

"You must have already thought about the band's style and personality."

"..." Xiangzi asked in surprise, "Are you guessing again?"

"It seems I guessed right." Liu Hao blinked and asked, "Is it pop, folk, or traditional?"

"neither."

"You haven't even thought of the backstory yet."

"Don't ask, just eat your pork chop."

With a blush on her pretty face, Shoko Toyokawa picked up a piece of pork chop and stuffed it into Liu Hao's mouth. She had indeed thought of the background story, but at that time her mentality was resentful, sad and desolate. She also wanted to incorporate this desperate bloom into the music, but now, she could hardly find this feeling.

It’s all because of the man in front of me, so hateful and yet so warm.

It is hard to meet and hard to part, but Liu Hao was not reluctant to say goodbye to Xiangzi, because even if they were to part, they already had so many unforgettable memories, and they would continue to have them.

After Liu Hao returned to his own world, he did not take a shower and rest immediately. There was no new message on Nagasaki Suye's chat interface, and it was still stuck on the usual "Good afternoon" at noon. It seemed that what happened today was really a big blow to her.

After sending a "good night" message to Nagasaki Suyo, Liu Hao did not do anything further. He was waiting, waiting for a possible message, and in fact he did wait for it.

[Hello, I'm Ruoye Mu. Can I still make requests during the day? ]

Liu Hao was not surprised to receive this message, but Ruoye Mu's number surprised him——

005?

In other words, it’s still 003 and 004?

Volume 45: Chapter Chapter I Can Secretly Be Your Woman

Liu Hao tried to dial numbers 003 and 004 directly, but there was no way to dial them out. It seemed that just like 001 Toyokawa Shoko and 002 Nagasaki Soyo, he had to click the dial option on the chat interface. Direct dialing would result in an invalid number.

Considering the identities of these girls, Liu Hao came to a conclusion that seemed very reliable - are you CRYCHIC having a team-building activity on my phone?

After all, we already have Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Motoyo and Wakaba Mutsu, and the remaining two band members just match the number of 003 and 004. Could it be that some ancient Fuso god who is in charge of the band is controlling all this?

So the question is, who wants the members of CRYCHIC to reconnect the most?

That's right, it's you, Nagasaki Suyo, so you're the mastermind behind this! You're a woman who plays tricks on people, I'm going to kill you myself...

Liu Hao shook his head and stopped his wandering thoughts. If Nagasaki Suyo really had this kind of divine power, why would he need to be the middleman, and he wouldn't be so lost in confusion like he is now.

Liu Hao: I would like to know first, what is your request?

Wakaba Mutsu: I hope you can help Xiangzi and Su Shi. Xiangzi is having a hard time. Su Shi and I are classmates. I have been watching her and she may be about to break down.

Liu Hao: How did you find me? Why do you think I can help them?

Wakaba Mu: I don’t know what to do. I want to help Xiangzi keep the secret, but I can’t help Su Shi... Maybe only a miracle can help them, and then you appeared, which should be a miracle.

If Ye Mu's words were irrelevant to the question, Liu Hao thought of the performance of the delicate girl who was as delicate as a doll during the day, and felt a sense of empathy.

She is Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart and the only one in the band who knows the reason why Xiangzi quit. Liu Hao also knew from the series of messages that Nagasaki Suyo sent him before that Wakaba Mu, as a guitarist and the member who has been with Nagasaki Suyo the longest after Xiangzi quit, and she is also a classmate of hers, it must be very uncomfortable to be caught between two good friends.

Liu Hao: I want to know how you know me?

Wakaba Mu: It suddenly appeared on my phone, and I saw Su Shi messaging you when she was at school.

Liu Hao: It’s my fault. I disturbed her studies.

Wakaba Mutsu: But she smiled.

Liu Hao: Oh? She's still being stubborn, saying my jokes aren't funny.

Wakaba Mutsu: So you can make her laugh happily, but I can't do that.

Liu Hao thought to herself, you are a girl who has mastered the art of cold treatment to the extreme, so of course you can't do it. But it seems that I can't blame you. It is indeed difficult to be caught between two good friends.

Liu Hao: If it's just a joke or something, there's no problem with that, but you and I should both know that Xiangzi wants to look forward, but Sushi wants to go back to the past. There's no way to have both. Even if we find a way to reconcile them, they can't go back to the past.

Wakaba Mutsu: You must have a way.

[You guessed it already. I actually have a rather immature idea...]

Liu Hao thought so in his heart, but did not express it.

Liu Hao: You think too highly of me. I don't know why I'm connected to you, but I'm just an ordinary college student. I don't have mature social experience, nor do I have sufficient power, let alone the ability to cheat. Honestly, students' plight and mental health issues should be addressed by parents, schools, and the government. It's unrealistic to expect an ordinary person to solve them.

After this message was sent, there was no reply for a while. Perhaps Ruo Ye Mu didn't know how to respond. After several minutes, the girl sent a meaningless message.

Wakaba Mutsu: You are not an ordinary person.

Liu Hao: Then you are definitely not an ordinary person. As a second-generation star, your status and wealth are at least better than mine.

Wakaba Mutsu: But, I treated you to mango juice.

Wakaba Mu: I'm sorry, I know this is not equivalent. What should I do in order for you to agree to me?

Liu Hao: Instead of asking me like this, why don’t you chat more with Su Shi and the others, or ask them out to play and relax. Your friendship is the best medicine for life.

Wakaba Mutsu: I can secretly be your woman.

"Puff - cough cough cough -"

After seeing this earth-shattering news, Liu Hao was choked by his own saliva. He covered his chest, supported himself on the bed with one hand, and coughed for a long time before he barely recovered.

Roommate Liu Wenhu saw Liu Hao's state and asked with concern, "Old Liu, what's going on? How could you choke without even drinking water?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just saw some incredible news and was shocked by the mental state of the next generation of the global village."

"Oh, that's normal. Kids nowadays are very mature."

Liu Wenhu didn't take it seriously, and even thought that Liu Hao was making a big deal out of nothing, so he continued to video chat with his girlfriend.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Hao thought for a while before replying.
