Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

"He did stand up and tried to attack me, but I stood up too. I was a head taller than him, so he stopped talking." Liu Hao shook his head and said, "He retreated when he saw the difficulty. It's obvious he's not very pious."

Xiangzi was infected by the relaxed atmosphere created by Liu Hao, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.

"What would you do if he really hit you?"

"Of course I called the police and let him know what realistic criticism is."

"嘁~"

The rooms in the youth hostel all have shared bathrooms. It was late and it was not a holiday so there were not many tourists, so there was basically no need to worry about being disturbed by others.

The two of them stood in front of the bathroom mirror with the disposable toiletries they received from the front desk, brushing their teeth and washing up together.

On a whim, Liu Hao placed the toothbrush upright on Toyokawa Shoko's head at a distance and compared it in the mirror. Even if Shoko's height was added with the length of the toothbrush, it still only reached Liu Hao's eyes. It was the cutest height difference.

Xiangzi's lips were covered with toothpaste foam, and he was unable to speak. He raised his pretty face and glared at Liu Hao.

Liu Hao went even further. He dipped his finger in toothpaste and drew several circles on Toyokawa Shoko's face in the mirror, making her look like she had a white beard, which was very funny.

Xiangzi wanted to follow suit, but then she was embarrassed to find that even if she stretched out her arms, she couldn't reach Liu Hao's face in the mirror.

"Hehehe——"

This made Liu Hao, who was brushing her teeth, almost laugh so hard that she swallowed the toothpaste foam. Xiangzi simply went all out and smeared the toothpaste on Liu Hao's face. Naturally, Liu Hao fought back.

The two looked at their own embarrassed and funny appearances in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing, which almost alarmed the staff of the youth hostel.

Liu Hao was of course faster in taking a shower than Xiangzi. He lay down on his bed and pulled the curtains halfway up. After a while, he saw Xiangzi walk in with his long, slightly wet hair. After nodding to him, he climbed the ladder to the upper bunk. After a rustling sound, there was no movement.

Liu Hao was not worried about Xiangzi's mental state. She was actually the kind of girl who understood everything, but understanding was one thing and being thorough was another. It took time to calm down the guilty conscience.

With Liu Hao's company, the girl will figure out that instead of worrying about such illusory things, it is better to grasp the present, face the difficulties in front of her, and not leave regrets for the future.

Time passed little by little, but Liu Hao didn't feel sleepy at all. Then he heard the message alert sound on his phone.

Xiangzi: Liu Hao, are you asleep?

Liu Hao: Not yet.

Xiangzi: Sorry for making you worry.

Liu Hao: Haha, actually not.

Liu Hao: The snoring of that guy outside is so rhythmic. I think he might be the real musical genius.

Xiangzi: That means my willfulness has affected your sleep.

Liu Hao: If you must say so, then you can sing a lullaby up there. That big brother won’t wake up anyway, and maybe we’ll both sleep better together.

Xiangzi: I can’t sing.

Xiangzi: But I brought headphones, do you want to use them?

Liu Hao: What will you do if I use you?

Xiangzi: You can use them together.

Liu Hao held the phone and thought for a while. Before he could figure out what this so-called "using it together" meant, and before he could express his opinion, he received a new message.

Xiangzi: I'll pass the pillow down to you, please take it.

Without waiting for Liu Hao to accept or refuse, a pillow was dropped from the upper bunk. After waiting for a while and realizing that Liu Hao didn't catch it, it simply threw it into the bed with force.

Xiangzi: I’m coming down.

"Wait, you..."

It was too late for Liu Hao to refuse. Xiangzi, wrapped in a thin quilt, was climbing down the ladder with some difficulty. In order to prevent the quilt from getting stuck and causing the girl to fall and get injured, Liu Hao had to reach out and carefully help Xiangzi down from the ladder.

The bed curtains were completely drawn. In the small space, two people were resting their heads on two pillows and covered with two quilts. They could hear each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.

Volume 74 (Volume 3): Chapter 2- Chapter - Six beds, different pillows, yet one dream ˇ°⒋●?四』#◎～

The bed curtains were beige, basically blocking out most of the light from the nightlight outside the room. Only the big brother in the next bed was still snoring rhythmically, which the thin bed curtains could not block at all.

In this small isolated space, two people lay on two pillows side by side, breathing each other, and could smell the same faint shampoo scent.

Even with a quick glance out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the other person was lying on his back.

Beautiful blue hair slightly damp, a straight and small nose bridge, lips with a beautiful curve that can be seen even in the darkness, and slightly raised chest rising and falling with the rhythm of her breathing. The girl's nervousness can be clearly seen from the speed.

She was the one who took the initiative, and she was also the one who was more nervous.

Instead, Liu Hao felt that he was so stable and lifeless. Perhaps this is the charm of youth.

Although the two were lying together, they didn't speak. A pair of small Sony headphones were connected to their left and right ears, playing a youthful and dreamy song from a band called Morfonica, which was also a high school band that Xiangzi liked very much.

A high school band could actually achieve this level of skill? Liu Hao, thinking about his own musical journey starting from scratch, broke out in a sweat...

"Hmm hum hum~"

Liu Hao noticed Xiangzi's nervousness beside him, so he hummed softly along with the melody of the music.

To be honest, Liu Hao was not quite used to the style of this song. Both the lyrics and the melody were too dreamy and imaginative, which was inconsistent with his preference for being down-to-earth.

However, not being able to adapt does not mean not liking it. It is precisely because we are down-to-earth that we have the urge to look up at those fantastic and wonderful things. Our ordinariness does not mean that we do not want others to shine.

Moreover, Liu Hao had a feeling that the amazing violin of this band seemed to set off the lead singer's expression, just like the song "Spring Shadow" he had heard before, and the gurgling keyboard sound of Toyokawa Shoko was also supporting Takamatsu Deng to shout out his own voice. This was probably the gentleness of classical instruments?

Listening to her favorite song, and with Liu Hao humming along beside her inexplicably, Toyokawa Shoko gradually recovered from the shyness that had been overflowing after her bold action just now.

"How about it?"

Xiangzi asked softly, cautiously seeking approval.

"To be honest, it's not really suitable for listening before bed."

"Well, the melody is indeed a little lighter."

"No," Liu Hao said, "Listening to this song, it felt like someone was saying in my ear, 'How can you sleep at this level? Hurry up and get up and keep practicing all night.'"

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You really are obsessed with forming a band right now."

"It's normal. Just like I get so excited before a trip that I can't sleep. For someone like me who doesn't have many hobbies or interests, I'm actually excited to be involved in the music industry one day."

"You are good in everything except being too modest."

Xiangzi was now able to calmly turn his head, his beautiful eyes still sparkling in the darkness. "I can be sure that you are very talented in music."

"real or fake?"

"Well, do you remember the song you sang on the first day we spoke?"

"Of course I remember, Butterfly, it's one of my best Japanese songs. It seems my performance is pretty good."

Xiangzi blinked and said amusedly: "No, actually you sang terribly."

"..."

Liu Hao also turned his head and looked at the girl closely. With such a similar speaking style, Liu Hao always felt that he might have led the girl astray.

"Of course, I'm referring to your terrible singing and pronunciation, but your control of rhythm and pitch is surprisingly good, so the essence of the song comes through right away," Xiangzi said. "I could sense your excellent sense of rhythm when I was teaching you guitar, and the fact that you were able to hum the chorus after just one listen shows that you're at least musically exceptional."

"Oh?"

Liu Hao asked curiously, "How does it compare to you?"

Xiangzi thought for a moment and said tactfully, "When I was learning guitar, I became familiar with the 36 common chords in about half an hour."

"..." Liu Hao pulled his hands out from under the quilt and clasped them together, saying, "I'm sorry, I was too arrogant."

"Hahaha..." Xiangzi chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you have a better sense of music than me."

Liu Hao shrugged and joked, "That's right. It's mainly because I haven't learned piano. Otherwise, I'd let you see what it means to be the reincarnation of Chopin."

"I'm serious." Xiangzi's eyes were full of smiles.

"I'm joking." Liu Hao winked at Xiangzi. "But I can definitely hear some of the emotions in the song. It seems like this song is about the world as seen by the lead singer. The song you want to write should also express your inner world in this way, right?"

"Ah."

Liu Hao thought of the song "Spring Shadow" and murmured, "Gentle, delicate, gracefully speaking, it expresses the heart's unwillingness to be lonely and longing for light..."

Liu Hao suddenly paused, and Xiangzi, who was biting his lip because part of his worries were revealed, also paused.

Because the music player automatically changed the song, a strong sound of music came from the headphones. The extremely powerful heavy metal style music dispelled the last bit of sleepiness of the two people who became more and more energetic as they talked.

Xiangzi: “…”

Liu Hao: "...I'm sorry, I'm inflated again."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. When they realized that the noise was a bit loud, they covered their mouths at the same time. Only when they heard the old man still snoring did they let go of his hands with relief.

"The new band you're going to form is going to be this style?"

Liu Hao asked the question even though she already knew the answer. It was obvious that the song of her favorite band was right after Xiangzi's playlist.

"Ah."

This time Xiangzi didn't change the subject, but frankly admitted, "My idea is to form a gothic metal style visual band. Compared to the usual Japanese pop or Japanese rock, it will be more impactful and more eye-catching."

"So, you haven't really thought of the backstory yet?"

"..." Xiangzi blushed slightly and said, "There are Gothic visual bands in the music industry. If we want to differentiate ourselves, I think we need to create some gimmicks."

"Could you please express your inner feelings?"

Xiangzi repeated resignedly, "It's just a way of expressing my inner feelings."

Since he was no longer sleepy and wanted to get to know this girl better, Liu Hao asked curiously, "Tell me about her?"

"Well... then you are not allowed to laugh."

"No, absolutely not."

After a while——

"Hahaha……"

Xiangzi said angrily, "You said you wouldn't laugh!"

"I'm sorry...hahahaha...I couldn't help it..."

Xiangzi looked at Liu Hao, who was still laughing with his hands covering his mouth, and sighed, "I know these are not perfect yet, but I don't have time to refer to other classic Gothic settings."

"I don't think we need to look at anything else as a reference. We can just look at what we're going through now," Liu Hao said after stopping laughing. "Traveling across countless worlds, breaking into the lives of young girls, using supernatural powers to overcome difficulties and create a unique world—I think that's quite Gothic."

Xiangzi's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, it should be a mysterious and strange worldview, but it also has the appeal of personal experience. What could be more suitable than this?

So the two of them started discussing excitedly again, and stayed awake until the early morning.

Of course, they are not the only two who can’t sleep.

Volume 75: Chapter Chapter Wonderful and Not-So-Wonderful Experiences

Nagasaki Suyo didn't understand, there was absolutely no way she could understand.

After seeing the conversation between Toyokawa Shoko and Yanagi Yoshi at the beginning about "who pities whom", Nagasaki Suyo has been uneasy.

The girl was convinced that Xiangzi's message to Liu Hao must have been related to her meeting with Xiangzi in the evening. She had hurt Xiangzi and implicated Liu Hao.

So Su Shi has been struggling with whether she should send a message to Liu Hao and whether she should take the initiative to apologize.

Especially after that, there was no chat message between Liu Hao and Xiangzi for a long time. She didn't know whether they were on the phone or meeting, or just angry with each other and having a cold war. Guilt and inexplicable envy kept haunting Su Shi, making her feel uneasy.

Guilt of course comes from So-shik thinking it was her fault.

The feeling of envy is hard to describe.

Su Shi envied Liu Hao for being trusted by Xiangzi so much and for telling him her true feelings directly, but Xiangzi was unwilling to even have a chat with her.

I also envy Xiangzi for having someone like Liu Hao to confide in. The two of them are so frank with each other, and there seems to be no falsehood at all. To what extent has their relationship developed?

Finally, after struggling for a long time, Nagasaki Suyo decided to send a message to Liu Hao, either to explain things clearly or to apologize, even if it meant revealing that she could see their chat messages.

Then Su Shi saw the new messages between the two of them, which made her feel like her brain was overloaded.

Not to mention the tense and ruthless atmosphere before, which became normal and warm again after a few hours. What happened in between?

The literal meaning of their conversation alone was enough for Su Shi to understand.

Where on earth could they hear the snoring of a "big brother"?

What does it mean to use headphones together?

What does it mean to pass the pillow down? And then the person also came down?

Based on Nagasaki Suyo's life experience, she really couldn't imagine what kind of scene this was.
