Liu Hao: Ruoye Mu, do you really know what you mean by this? I don't think you are the kind of girl who doesn't love herself.

Wakaba Mu: I'm sorry, all I can offer is myself...but even I can't make the decision entirely by myself. This is something that father and mother won't allow. So I can only be your woman secretly. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

"..."

Imagine such words coming out of the mouth of that delicate and cute girl who looked like a doll, and Liu Hao felt inexplicably heavy. If that were the case, she must have two extremely controlling parents. No wonder she was so taciturn as a second-generation star.

No? Among the girls who connected with me through the Gravity Connection Package, didn't any of them have a happier and better family?

How did Toyokawa Shoko manage to bring these girls together so happily? I can only say that my Shoko is great and needs no further explanation. Of course, what happened afterwards was due to external factors and was beyond Shoko's control.

"Oh, why do I feel like I'm not here to make friends, but to be a father? You girls with good family backgrounds and cute looks, at least be a little more optimistic, damn it!"

Thinking this way, Liu Hao wrote down his reply on his mobile phone.

The spacious room, dim lights, and various fashion and postmodern elements decorate the room. It looks like a music hall or a museum lounge, but it does not look like a girl's boudoir.

Ruoye Mu lowered her head with drooping eyelids, her long light green hair brushed across her delicate collarbone, her thin lips were tightly pursed, her eyes fixed on the screen of her mobile phone, and after locking the screen, she immediately pressed the power button, as if waiting for her own judgment.

Because she had already played all the cards she could, but still did not get a response from the other party.

Is there really nothing I can do?...

Just when Ruo Yemu was about to give up, the locked screen of his phone suddenly lit up, and on the message bar was Liu Hao's reply.

Liu Hao: I will give you an accurate answer within a week.

Liu Hao: Besides, you are not anyone’s woman, you are yourself, there are many things you can do, don’t use yourself as a bargaining chip.

The phone screen suddenly went blurry. Ruo Yemu reached out his hand blankly and touched his face. A trace of water had just appeared on it.

Hey, am I crying? Why? I haven't even been able to shed tears in ages...

Is this a miracle?

Volume 46: Chapter Chapter The fire in my heart is about to explode

The next day was Monday, and Wakaba Mutsu went out and took the tram to school as usual.

Given her family background, she could certainly have a driver to pick her up like many other young ladies at Tsukinomori Academy. However, her parents wanted her to be approachable, and going to school was her most comfortable moment. Even walking alone along the street corner would make her feel more relaxed.

Holding the handrail of the tram tightly, the clanging sound of the bells made ripples in Ruoye Mu's heart. The interface of his mobile phone was still stuck on the message he received last night, and he hadn't exited it all night.

[Do I really belong to myself... But I can't do anything, can I really do many things...]

It was as if she had heard Ruo Yemu's thoughts. As the message alert sounded, she received another message from Liu Hao.

Liu Hao: Classmate Ruo Yemu, I have a task for you. Pay attention to the exchange rate changes between the ruble and the yen every day and report to me in the evening. This will affect my decision within the week, and it may also be related to the miracle you expect.

"Miracle."

Wakaba Mu repeated this simple word several times with her thin pink lips, feeling inexplicably at ease.

【It turns out that there are other things I can do. 】

Wakaba Mutsu: I understand. I will try my best to complete the task.

Liu Hao: By the way, please pay attention to Su Shi’s status. She hasn’t replied to my messages.

Wakaba Mutsu: I know, I will pay attention.

Liu Hao: Finally, you are now doing what you decided to do, even every day. Don’t underestimate people’s subjective initiative!

Wakaba Mutsu: Yeah.

The girl lowered her head slightly and clenched her phone with both hands. Perhaps because the screen had been on for a long time, the double-layer motherboard could not suppress the heat of the Apple A series chip, and the aluminum alloy frame was also slightly hot.

Unlike Nagasaki Suyo, who could only see the chat messages between Yanagi and Shoko, Wakaba Mu could see the chats between Yanagi and Toyokawa Shoko, as well as between him and Nagasaki Suyo. That was why the girl firmly believed that Yanagi was the one who could save her two friends, that was why she felt so relieved to be carried on his back, and that was why she couldn't help but cry last night.

The miracle that belonged to Xiangzi and Su Shi may have happened to him from the very beginning.

After getting off the station, Wakaba Mu walked into the gate of Yuezhisen Academy with his hands holding his bag. He looked up slightly and saw Nagasaki Suyo greeting others.

As usual, Nagasaki Suyo still had a delicate and gentle smile on her face. She greeted everyone with a smile, and there was nothing wrong with her posture and etiquette. But perhaps only friends like Wakaba Mu who often paid attention to her could notice the fatigue and haggardness hidden under Nagasaki Suyo's beautiful and easy-going face.

"Su Shi."

Wakaba Mutsu took small steps to Nagasaki Suyo and called out his friend's name softly.

"Yes, it's Xiao Mu."

Nagasaki Sushi turned her head slightly and greeted her indifferently, which made Wakaba Mu feel a little relieved. At least Sushi was still willing to pay attention to her.

"What happened yesterday..."

"say no more."

Nagasaki Sushi interrupted Wakaba Mu, and the two walked side by side in silence, letting the wind brush against their shoulders. It wasn't until they reached the corridor where they had to change shoes that Sushi turned her head and asked, "Have you really never felt happy about forming a band?"

"I……"

Ruo Ye Mu lowered his head slightly, not knowing whether he should speak his mind.

"I'll go find Li Xi after school today and ask her clearly." Nagasaki Sushi didn't force Wakaba Mu to answer her questions, nor was she surprised by her silence. Sushi just looked up at the gloomy sky and murmured, "Maybe I'm the only one who misses CRYCHIC... In that case, I should give up. It's not the first time anyway..."

Looking at the faint self-deprecating expression on Nagasaki Suyo's face, Wakaba Mu finally mustered up the courage to speak: "The band is not happy, but when I am with everyone, I am very happy."

Nagasaki Sushi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wakaba Mu's delicate and beautiful face, narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled: "Thank you, Xiao Mu, this will make me feel better."

"...Uncle, I'm sorry."

If Ye Mu knew, Su Shi was almost really lost.

Liu Hao, please make a decision quickly!

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was heading to the place where CRYCHIC's drummer Shiina Tatsuki worked after school, Liu Hao also finished his first class in the afternoon. He did not go to work part-time, nor did he follow his roommates back to the dormitory. Instead, he went to the other half of the campus. Half an hour later, he walked into the dormitory holding a wooden guitar.

"Old Liu, have you changed? Are you really in love?" Zheng Ke looked at Liu Hao holding the acoustic guitar in surprise. It was hard to combine this roommate's temperament with that of an artistic youth. He touched the acoustic guitar in Liu Hao's hand and said sincerely, "Isn't this guitar a little too worn?"

"Show some respect to your senior."

After slapping Zheng Ke's hand away, Liu Hao said, "This guitar is probably older than you are. It's been passed down from one senior to another, and it's witnessed the ups and downs of our school. It's a living fossil."

Zheng Ke asked with a smile, "Then this living fossil should only be worth a single digit, right?"

"Nonsense, fifteen dollars."

"Only 15?" Zheng Ke patted Liu Hao's shoulder and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Liu, but even if you want to pursue a girl, you should put in some money. How can you come up with this?"

"Who said I was going to chase girls?"

"Why would you buy a guitar if you're not chasing girls?"

"Chasing my dream," Liu Hao said matter-of-factly, gritting his teeth. "I, Liu Hao, also want to be a great musician. Lately, I've been listening to all the band stuff, all that groovy music. It's so youthful, so rock 'n' roll. It makes the fire in my heart explode."

Zheng Ke asked doubtfully, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Just wait until I become famous and show off. The famous musician Liu Hao is your adoptive father."

"roll roll roll."

What Liu Hao said was of course true. When he was a child, or when he was in high school, he really wanted to be a musician, but just like when he told Nagasaki Suyo that he wanted to be a doctor, adolescent boys always have many unrealistic dreams.

For example, Liu Hao once wanted to be a scientist, internet celebrity, astronaut, or immortal cultivator...

Just like he pretended to read the Tao Te Ching several times in order to cultivate immortality, Liu Hao also actually understood some basic knowledge of music theory. However, he later decided to work hard and study hard, so naturally he had no energy for such extracurricular interests.

Liu Hao bought this weathered guitar not because he really wanted to rekindle his musical dream, but because he wanted to try whether he had musical talent.

As for why it was a guitar, it was because it was the cheapest old thing on Xianyu...

You know what, you really can play this guitar very well.

Volume 47: Chapter Chapter Don’t underestimate youth! Damn it!

Liu Hao spent an entire night reading a simplified introduction to music theory on China's largest same-sex learning and dating platform, and barely recalled some of the knowledge he had learned by himself in his first year of high school.

According to Liu Hao's habit, he prefers to proceed step by step, first understanding music theory, and then starting with the twelve-tone equal temperament and basic tuning method. Like a normal beginner, he slowly read the score, practiced chords, and practiced the grid... step by step to become familiar with the music, and then apply it to other areas.

But this time, Liu Hao used his ability as a small town test-taker and forced himself to memorize the fingering and tune of a piece of music. His fingers were soft, the strings were hard, the tone was off, and his hands were not very clean. He stumbled and played the little tune of dozens of seconds for two minutes before he could play it. The whole dormitory was silent.

Liu Hao cleared his throat and looked at his three roommates, who all had different expressions on their faces. He said, "I just played a famous children's song. I think you can guess which one it was, right?"

Zhang Pan was having a hard time suppressing his laughter. He said, "Two tigers, yes, two tigers."

Liu Wenhu didn't need to hold back his laughter; he had already finished laughing: "Let's row the oars together?"

Zheng Ke said mischievously, "It clearly sounds like Jingle Bells to me."

"..."

Liu Hao revealed the answer, "It's actually Twinkle Twinkle Little Star..."

"Yes, yes, twinkle, twinkle little star... puff—"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The dormitory was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and even Liu Hao laughed along with everyone.

After everyone finally stopped laughing, Liu Hao forced himself to make amends, "Actually, I just used a narrative trick. Although you didn't recognize which song I played, you didn't deny that I did play a song. This shows that I am still talented."

"Yes, yes, you have talent." Zhang Pan said, suppressing a smile, "Then where are you going to take your talent, Old Liu? At least you have to sign up for this year's Top Ten Campus Singers Competition. Then we'll all vote for you."

"You wish! Of course I'll use my talent to make money in business." Liu Hao also laughed and said, "In the future, I can even teach music. I can tutor six subjects at the same time. Who else in the Binjiang tutoring market can surpass me? Now I'm letting you listen for free, so just be happy."

"Haha, Lao Liu, I just admire your optimistic attitude."

Everyone in the dormitory started laughing again. After all, his roommates also understood that Liu Hao had been acting a little strange recently. He had been disappearing mysteriously and was having a hot affair with a high school girl. It was normal for him to want to be more artistic. He was just too shy to admit it.

As for Liu Hao, he really just wanted to confirm whether he had musical talent. This kind of talent did not mean the ability to read music scores or absolute pitch. As long as he was like an ordinary person and his fingers were not so stiff that he could not play a musical instrument, it would be fine. After all, as long as he invested time, ordinary people could also get started in music. Going deeper into it was where talent was the key.

Liu Hao wanted to learn more about the band and the music industry in the coming time. If he was just a cow playing the lute to a cow, wouldn’t his next plan be a castle in the air?

That’s right, although he said it would take a week to make a decision, Liu Hao had already started taking action.

It's not only because of his pity and admiration for Toyokawa Shoko, his sympathy for Nagasaki Suyo, Wakaba Mu's request, or this weird gravity connection package, but also because this is Liu Hao's own decision.

Liu Hao was hesitant at first, feeling as though he were being swept along by this gravity, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. Regardless of whether he was being swept along or not, this was his own inclination and decision, and that would never change. Therefore, nothing else mattered; following his heart was the most important thing.

Since the college entrance examination, Liu Hao has not done something with such a clear purpose and such a great challenge for a long time. The soul flowing in the heart of the test-taker is burning.

You little girls, don't underestimate your youth! Damn it!

Liu Hao opened the message interface on his mobile phone, and the chat between him and Nagasaki Suyo froze at the "good night" Liu Hao sent the night before, and there were no more messages after that.

Liu Hao: I agreed to your invitation to join the band.

After the message was sent, there was no reply for a while. Liu Hao didn't know whether Su Shi didn't see it or saw it but didn't reply. Liu Hao thought it should be the latter. She might really be about to break down as Ruo Ye Mu said.

However, Liu Hao had already prepared for Su Shi not to reply to his message, so he switched to Ruo Ye Mu's chat interface.

Liu Hao: How is it? Did you lose track of me?

Wakaba Mutsu: No, Suyo should be on her way to LiveHouse.

Liu Hao: Okay, now find a corner where no one can see you, and I’ll call you.

Wakaba Mutsu: Yeah, I'm in the alley.

Liu Hao once again entered the familiar toilet cubicle in the dormitory. After a burst of trance-like tinnitus, Liu Hao appeared in front of a beautiful girl with long light green hair. The exquisite dark blue uniform on Wakaba Mu was the same one that Nagasaki Suyo wore when Liu Hao first met her. The cute JK uniform belonged to the youth that might be childish and awkward but should bloom.

Liu Hao followed Ruoye Mu out of the alley and said, "I'll explain the details later. Where's Su Shi?"

"It's in front." Ruoye Mu pointed in a direction not far away and said, "That's RiNG's LiveHouse. Su Shi walked very slowly. She was worried."

"I understand. I'll catch up now."

Liu Hao was just about to speed up when he felt a hand pulling his sleeve. He turned around and saw Ruo Yemu's charming eyes, her pink and smooth lips glowing with a charming glaze in the sunlight, and her thin eyebrows, which made him feel pity for her.

"Well, I want to ask, have you made a decision?"

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Well, I've made up my mind."

"Great."

"Don't be too happy yet." Liu Hao looked at the girl and said, "I'm telling you in advance, don't think that everything will be fine just because you ask me for help. You are also their friend, so of course you should contribute. Don't try to shirk your responsibility."

Ruoye Mu bit her lips lightly, not daring to look directly into Liu Hao's star-like, deep eyes. She whispered, "I know... but there's nothing I can do."

"You don't think I can do a lot of things, do you?"

Liu Hao held up a finger in front of the girl and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Wakaba Mu blinked: "This is, 1?"

"That's called don't daydream." Liu Hao poked Ruoyemu's fair forehead with his finger and said, "You may not succeed if you do it, but you will definitely not succeed if you don't do it. I was born with talents that will be useful. Don't underestimate yourself. Do you understand?"

"……Um."
