The goal of life is to break up all couples

Perhaps it was the expectations of others, or perhaps it was her own flaws that prevented her from expressing her true inner desires. From not daring to speak, to not being able to speak, and finally to being unable to speak at all.

It wasn't until the guitar appeared in her world that she found another channel to express her true voice.

But, it was clearly like this, it was clearly how it should be... Just like Deng's singing was a cry from her heart, her guitar should be the same way. She should use the guitar to convey her inner feelings to others...

but failed.

Words failed, and even the only other channel for self-expression could not convey my true inner thoughts to others.

Therefore, if Ye Mu couldn't help but blame himself... it was because he didn't play well enough, so he couldn't express himself, so everything fell into this situation, and he felt that... forming a band had never been happy.

It’s a pity that such a mental journey could not be clearly conveyed to Songzhi Zi’s mind through just these simple and fragmented words.

He doesn't have the ability to read minds.

Therefore, Matsueda Azusa interpreted it in a completely different direction.

He crossed his legs and frowned in thought.

Although Matsueda Azusa didn't think that Wakaba Mutsu's guitar skills were not good enough, after all, as mentioned before, Matsueda Azusa's own guitar skills were still more than ten Chihaya Aines behind Wakaba Mutsu.

But...since she clearly had so many other things to mention, things that made her happy, things that she didn't do well enough, and there were actually so many options, she only mentioned the point of "not playing guitar well enough" without hesitation.

So, regardless of whether he really can’t play it well or not, this shows that the guitar is special and unique to Xiaomu.

I clearly love guitar, but I never find playing in a band fun. That's because I feel like I'm not good enough to play guitar well enough...

If she said that, she was actually seeking recognition. The guitar was the only thing that belonged to her, the thing that allowed her to escape from a world constantly burdened by expectations. Only when she played the guitar did she stop being the Wakaba Mutsuki who was treated like a celebrity by everyone.

This may be another reason why she is willing to join Hen Card, besides wanting to help Xiangzi. Wearing the mask, she can separate herself from other factors and exist only as the guitarist of the band.

But now, all of this has been shattered by the exposure of her true identity. Her identity has been exposed to everyone, and she is receiving praise that doesn't come from her, and is burdened with excessive and unnecessary expectations...

If that's the case, then Xiao Mu's "not good enough" might not be about not being good enough in the literal sense, but rather about not being able to meet the endless praise and expectations of these people. They want to pull her guitar away from her embrace, and also turn it into something she owns under this identity.

That's why she said it "won't last long." Perhaps she wasn't referring to the band itself, but to herself.

This explanation seemed to make perfect sense. Although it wasn't necessarily correct, Matsueda Azusa felt that it was logically possible.

But this made the problem difficult to resolve, because the underlying logical contradiction was irreconcilable—Xiao Mu didn't want to be overly praised or subjected to excessive expectations because of her identity, but she couldn't control the public, so revealing her identity would lead to this situation. At this point, the only way to solve the problem was to leave the band.

But because of Toyokawa Shoko, Xiaomu would never quit the band. Since her true identity has been revealed, if she quits the band, Hen Ka would face a huge storm.

So, to put it simply… if Ye Mu wanted to save herself, she would have to give up Xiangzi. Choosing Xiangzi would mean continuing to crumble. And what made the decision even more difficult was that she saw saving Xiangzi as also saving herself, or rather, completely usurping the option of saving herself.

How to solve it? There is no solution. Either Toyokawa Shoko explodes, or Xiao Mu explodes, or both of them explode.

If you want to save either side, you have to learn to give up.

Songzhi Zi raised his eyes: "I can't help you solve the problem."

Wakaba Mu's eyes dimmed.

"But I can teach you how to relieve stress and help you last longer."

Matsueda Azusa added immediately.

In this contradictory situation, unless either party changes, it is impossible to achieve a perfect ending. All methods are just drinking poison to quench thirst. But if this is Ruoye Mu's wish, then he can only obey her.

"That's just passing the pressure on to other people."

Songzhi Zi raised a finger. He really wasn't good at comforting or helping people, but what he was best at was attacking people: "Logically speaking, the person you should attack the most is Toyokawa Shoko, the culprit of all this, but I also know you definitely can't do that, so let's settle for the next best thing."

"The guy who ruined the plan and caused you to be unmasked early was Amoris, right? He did such a thing, but he received no punishment at all? That's obviously unreasonable. In that case, why don't you be the one to impose the punishment?"

Songzhi Zi spread his hands and said in a beckoning tone, "Look, this way, not only can I vent my anger, but it can also teach her a lesson, so that she won't do such things that ruin plans and make no sense in the future. This can also be a help to Toyokawa Xiangzi! Don't you agree?"

241

Chapter 241 Songzhi Zi also has amazing wisdom.

Instead of internalizing yourself, attack others.

This is the logic that Matsueda Azusa has always followed since she was abandoned by Toyokawa Shoko. After all, the great Elephant Teacher also did this - although she not only attacked others, but also consumed herself.

Matsueda Azusa has evolved this method a bit. It must be said that this is really cool.

The only thing to note is that you shouldn't use this method on people you're close to. If you do, you'll not only be a bad person, but also a jerk. This is for dealing with people you don't like, not for hurting friends.

Hearing Matsueda Azusa's suggestion, Wakaba Mu looked at him blankly, as if he didn't understand what it meant at all.

Songzhi Zi gently coaxed: "She did it, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded.

"I don't know why she did that, but she definitely had an ulterior motive... Do you think she's been suffering because of this?"

Xiao Mu shook his head.

"Then who is the one who is suffering because of this incident?"

Xiao Mu was silent for a moment: "Xiao Xiang... and me."

Songzhi Zi clapped his hands and said, "That's right! She was the one who did the bad thing, and she took all the benefits, but you were the ones who got hurt. And you actually just left her there to enjoy herself? Is there such a thing?"

"In this situation, of course, the only thing to do is to transfer the pain you've suffered to the person who caused it. Even if doing so doesn't make you happy, it's definitely easier for three people to bear the pain together than for two people to bear it."

Matsueda Azusa nodded and said confidently, "And you don't have to worry about her quitting the band because of this... You have to know that the Toyokawa family is behind the band! She definitely wouldn't dare quit the band because of something like this, so you can bully her however you want."

Although this is not necessarily true, it would be better if she quit the band. That way, the band would collapse, and after the collapse, Ruoye Mu wouldn't have to face the current difficulties. Besides, it was not her who caused the band to collapse - at least not the direct cause - wouldn't all the problems be solved then?

It was simply perfect. Songzhi Zi was shocked by his own amazing wisdom.

And there is also a hint of his small desire for revenge against Toyokawa Shoko.

Wow, three birds with one stone.

What a genius idea.

Ruoye Mu lowered his head, seemingly disagreeing with this statement, "But..."

"What's the problem?"

Matsueda Azusa blinked innocently, "Don't you want to help Toyokawa Shoko?"

Xiao Mu nodded blankly.

Matsueda Azusa continued to ask: "But you also feel that you are not good at playing guitar and you messed up the interview, right?"

Ruoye Mu pursed her lips. Although her face showed no expression, it was clear that she was wavering. After a while, she finally nodded.

"Yeah, that's it. You want to help Toyokawa Shoko, but on the other hand, you haven't done these things well..."

Matsueda Azusa simply started to fool people: "In that case, the only thing we can do is to help her in other ways and with other things, right? For example... help her discipline the disobedient team members? You are fully qualified to do that, aren't you?"

What Ruo Yemu needs most now is to change her mood and thoughts. If she continues to be entangled like this, she will definitely get stuck in a dead end, constantly wasting her time, and then collapse under the dual pressure from the outside world and her inner self.

And since she is unwilling to leave this painful environment, we can only let her do something else to divert her attention.

Although the means used are deceptive...but the purpose is good, it's just that the means are a little underhanded, it's not a big problem!

Ruoye Mu murmured: "Help... Xiaoxiang?"

Matsueda Azusa struck while the iron was hot: "Yeah, isn't Toyokawa Shoko busy enough just running the band right now? She must have no extra energy to deal with Amoris, who's messing things up. At a time like this, as her good friend, of course you have to help her."

"and……"

Songzhi Zi raised a finger. "Haven't you always wanted to learn how to talk and communicate with others? This is a great opportunity. You can take advantage of this opportunity to talk more and learn how to express your inner thoughts. Isn't that great?"

"no……"

Ruoye Mu subconsciously refused: "If I speak...it will hurt others..."

"Huh? Isn't that perfect?"

Songzhi Zi clapped his hands and said confidently: "What you are going to do now is to hurt her, right?"

When Xiao Mu heard this, he looked at Songzhi Zi blankly.

Matsueda Azusa continued to explain: "This is really killing two birds with one stone. If what you said really hurt her, then you have achieved your goal of teaching her a lesson on behalf of Toyokawa Shoko."

"If what you said didn't hurt her, then that means your self-perception is wrong. In fact, your words will never hurt others. You are just afraid of such consequences, so you have been closing your true feelings and dare not express them. Now that this proves that this is not the case, you can now reveal your true feelings without any scruples, right?"

Ruoye Mu seemed a little moved, but still did not respond. She did not deny or refuse, nor did she agree to do so. She just kept her head down and remained silent.

At times like this, I suddenly started to have my own opinions...

Why can't I just obey him like I obeyed Toyokawa Shoko? ...Ah, that's true. Thinking like that is just wishful thinking.

It seems that Xiaomu is not without her own opinion, but her obedience to Toyokawa Shoko overcomes her own opinion.

Did the deception fail?

Matsueda Azusa looked at Wakaba Mutsu's expression, but he had no idea whether his deception was successful or not.

Never mind, at least she looked much better now than when she first arrived at his door—at least she didn't look like she was about to die.

It seems that diverting attention is still effective.

Since she remains silent, let's not mention it.

Songzhi Zi stood up, picked up her guitar and handed it to her, "Test the sound and see if it's been damaged by the rain."

Wakaba Mutsu reached out and took the guitar, holding it in his arms, and looked at Matsueda Azusa with some confusion, as if he didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject and brought up this.

It’s because you don’t cooperate.

Songzhi Zi's mouth twitched, "Didn't you say you couldn't play well? Let me play later, and show you what playing badly means, and give you some confidence."

Don't you like playing guitar? Then play it.

It just so happens that Songzhi Zi can learn something from her.

Even though he seems out of tune every day, he actually practices very hard. The level of skill that Matsueda Azusa has achieved since he started playing guitar is something that a C chord expert can't match.

Ruoye Mu whispered: "It's different..."

"What's the difference? If you play well, then you should play. If you play badly, then you should play even more - and why not practice if you play badly?"

Matsueda Azusa crossed his arms and said, "No matter what, the guitar won't lie to you."

242

Chapter 242: Songzhi Zi is too conscientious.

The next morning, in the rehearsal room.

Songzhi Zi sighed while holding his guitar.

How could someone with such high level of skill complain about their own poor playing skills every day? She was furious. Shouldn't she at least be on par with Matsueda Azusa before she could say such things in front of him?

Miura Yumiko, who was awkwardly and laboriously playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the side, had a vein bulging on her forehead. "Is my playing so disappointing?"

Songzhi Zi turned his head and looked at her with empty eyes: "Although that is indeed the case, it is not the reason for my sigh."

"Clam?"

Miura Yumiko twisted her stiff neck and asked, "Why is that?"

"that is because……"

Songzhi Zi sighed and said quietly, "Am I a little too conscientious?"

"...?"

Miura Yumiko showed an extremely ridiculous look: "Has this brat finally gone crazy? What nonsense is he talking about..."

"You do not understand."

Matsueda Azusa waved her hands and said, "It's because I'm too conscientious that I always run into so many troubles."

"Is this true? What on earth could have happened to cause you to have such a terrifying illusion?"

Miura Yumiko curled her lips: "Is there a possibility that you got into trouble simply because you're a jerk?"

Hikigaya Big Cat next to them was practicing hard while secretly eavesdropping on the conversation here.

Based on his understanding of Matsueda Azusa, he actually said that he was too conscientious. It was most likely that someone came to him for help again, and he didn't want to care at all, but in the end he still softened his heart.

Only at this time can Matsueda Azusa be considered to have some conscience, otherwise Hikigaya could not think of any other situation that would make him have such self-evaluation.

Or maybe it was just his daily fit.

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but say, "If your ex-friend always came to your house in a bad mood on a rainy day, wouldn't you think you were an asshole? You're clearly the victim, okay?"
