The goal of life is to break up all couples

She had no choice but to hurriedly take out an exquisitely wrapped gift bag: "I... I prepared an apology gift for Ah Zi. These are cucumbers that I planted myself..."

"unnecessary."

Songzhi Zi was too lazy to say anything more and hung up the phone directly. "Keep it for your Bi Xiangzi and Bi Sushi. I don't need this kind of thing."

“Beep——”

With a slight sound, Ruo Yemu's phone screen returned to darkness.

Ruoye Mu lowered his head, looked at the gift bag in his arms, and whispered: "Su Shi didn't accept it either..."

Chapter 89 GBC=Go Back Crychic.

After hanging up the phone, Songzhi Zi became more and more angry.

Looking at the cold and empty house, Songzhi Zi felt even more depressed.

Even with the lights on, it still felt dim, and even with the air conditioner on, it still felt cold.

I was so unhappy and depressed that I almost wanted to yell out the window, but there was no one to complain to or talk to.

Md, Songzhi Zi, you are such a failure in life.

Songzhi Zi secretly cursed herself. How could she have let her life become like this?

He stared at the air for a while, feeling completely bored, and finally put his clothes back on.

I can't stay in this shabby house for even a second, so I might as well go out for a walk to change my mood.

Anyway, no one cares whether he stays out all night or not. He can go home whenever he wants, or even not go home at all.

I guess even if he died outside, people wouldn't find him until his body started to stink - that's an exaggeration.

Ah, I really want to find someone to quarrel with.

Songzhi Zi left home and wandered around aimlessly.

There are a lot of people on the streets and in the square. It’s great that everyone has someone to keep them company.

Oh, there are also lonely guys like Matsueda Azusa, but they all look like they are in a hurry, or they are middle-aged uncles who lied that they have to work overtime and therefore don’t go home, but in fact they have been unemployed for who knows how long.

Songzhi Zi curled his lips in a nasty way: Ha, you are in such a miserable situation.

But I still can't laugh.

Just then, singing was heard in the distance.

The so-called answer

[Most of it is just common sense in name only.]

Even if my fingertips tremble

[At a three-way intersection not shown on this map]

Will we meet each other?

Matsueda Azusa was subconsciously attracted by the singing and hurried towards the direction where the sound came from.

A girl wearing a black sweatshirt was holding a blue guitar and singing loudly on the street.

Songzhi Zi's depressed heart miraculously calmed down, but soon became restless again.

A melody suddenly emerged in my mind. If I couldn't get it, I could care about what he valued. If that still didn't work... then I could sing. Singing was the only thing I could do.

Matsueda Azusa stood aside, quietly waiting for the girl to finish singing the song.

As the last note fell, she put down her guitar and prepared to start packing up.

A girl in a red coat walked towards her, but Matsueda Azusa was faster than her.

"Can you lend me your guitar?"

Matsueda Azusa didn't say any words of greeting, but stretched out his hand towards her directly, even a little offensively.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then looked up at Songzhi Azusa, but she was not angry at Songzhi Azusa's rudeness.

After thinking for a while, she handed the guitar to Songzhi Zi: "Be careful."

Azusa Matsueda nodded at her and took the guitar.

Soon, light and lively music sounded.

The girl was a little surprised when she heard this. She had thought that this boy, with a gloomy face that looked like he was about to die, would play some sad or screaming songs, but she didn't expect it to be so lively.

However, it was a prelude I had never heard of before.

Soon, Songzhi Zi's singing voice was heard. His voice was also light and cheerful, with a hint of tenderness in it:

【Let death be our ending】

[In the almost disgusting sunlight]

[No matter how tightly you cover your ears]

[The cicadas chirping indifferently still pour down like rain]

Why does such a lively and gentle singing voice sound so sad?

Not only the two girls next to them, but even the passers-by who were about to leave couldn't help but stop.

Matsueda Azusa's eyes looked into the empty distance, which was dyed by neon lights. Where would it go at the end of the night?

What was once joyful now bores me. What I once missed I no longer want to remember. What I long for now is forever out of reach.

It’s a relief that you died early.

It’s a relief that you died early.

Such a happy and nostalgic past can make Songzhi Zi so persistent. It must be because... he felt true happiness at some point, right?

But this is not love, and that is not love either. What are those things that touched him, made him cry, and made him feel heartbroken?

Were those emotions false illusions from the very beginning, or were they once truly passionate and blossoming, only to fall apart in the end?

If that's the case, then it would be nice if everything could end at the most beautiful moment. If only it could be frozen like that...

The cicadas I watched with you

【Summer spent with you】

Before it all rots and falls apart

Goodbye summer, memories with you

Songzhizi sang softly, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

I have no friends, no lover, and my family doesn't care about me. I want love but can't get it, and I want to hold on to happiness but it always slips through my fingers. Even though I'm surrounded by people, I feel as lonely as if I were in the wilderness.

What a failed life.

Mature, established people might mock him as pretentious and vain, but after all, he was just a sophomore in high school.

"Hey? You okay?"

The girl in the black sweatshirt waved her hand in front of Matsueda Azusa's face. Matsueda Azusa finished the song but was still holding the guitar in a daze. She couldn't help but feel a little scared: "Why do you look more depressed than me, a poor guy who is about to give up music?"

Matsueda Azusa sighed, regained his composure, and took down the guitar and returned it to the man. "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine... Hmm? Come to think of it, you look so familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

The girl looked Matsueda Azusa up and down. "I almost thought you were one of those clichéd hit-ups, but you don't look like that... Are you in a band?"

Songzhi Zi nodded: "It was like that before - to be more precise, it was like that yesterday."

"Then you might have seen our band perform—ah, well, it's not really 'us' anymore. Former member of Diamond Dust, Momoka Kawahara. Ever heard of her?"

Kawahara Ki Momoka showed a look of sudden realization.

Did he just break up his band? Or maybe he just quit? No wonder he looks so down and out now. That's not surprising.

"Ah, it turns out to be you, Senior. No wonder you looked so familiar to me."

Azusa Matsueda had indeed seen their performances before.

He nodded at Momoka Kawahara. "I'm... uh, the former lead singer and guitarist of the high school band Crychic, Azusa Matsueda."

Kawahara Momoka thought hard for a moment, but still shrugged: "Hmm... Sorry, I haven't heard of it."

Matsueda Azusa shook his head and said, "That's normal. After all... from beginning to end, I've only been through three live shows."

Momoka Kawahara looked at Azusa Matsueda with a look of pity, yet also of familiarity. After all, even professional bands often break up and reunite, let alone bands run by high school students. A band that survived for more than six months was considered resilient, so disbanding wasn't unusual.

“That…that!”

At this moment, the girl in the red coat who had been waiting nearby finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I, I'm Jing Qinna, a fan of Diamond Dust and also a fan of Kawaharaki-senpai! I love your songs!"

Then she looked at Songzhi Zi and said to him: "Also, there is Songzhi Sang, the song you sang just now was also very nice!"

Matsueda Azusa nodded at Io Serina. He had just thought the two were together, but they weren't! It turned out they were fans who had come specially for him.

As expected of a member of a professional band, he still has fanatical fans even after leaving the band.

Watching Momoka Kawaharaki squatting down to pack up her equipment, Isenai continued, "I just came here from the countryside today, and I was inspired by Kawaharaki-senpai's singing..."

But before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard an angry voice coming from the side.

"I said, I've said it before!"

A man and a woman dressed in rock and roll attire appeared in front of the three of them. "This has always been our territory! Didn't we tell you to go sing somewhere else?"

Songzhi Zi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is there still commercial competition here?

No, wait, where is the business?

He couldn't help but ask, "Is this also dividing the territory? We don't charge any fees, and we're not stealing your customers."

"Isn't that even more excessive?"

The rocker slapped his thigh and shouted angrily, "This is called intentionally disrupting the market! We want tips, but you don't want them. Then won't passersby just come and listen to you? This is vicious competition!"

Chapter 90: Raise your middle finger and run away!

"That's it."

Songzhi Zi thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't we charge a fee as well?"

"That's more like it... Wait, that's not right!"

The rocker nodded subconsciously, and after a moment's pause, he realized, "That's not the case at all! Are you kidding me, brat?"

Matsueda Azusa wanted to say something, but Kawaharaki Momoka, who had already packed up her guitar, said, "Ignore them. We're leaving."

As she spoke, she put on her guitar bag, grabbed Matsueda Azusa, who was staring at the two men, and walked across the street.

Seeing this, Jing Qinrencai hurriedly followed.

"Hey!"

They still looked a little angry, but seeing that Matsueda Azusa and the others were planning to leave, they thought about it and decided not to catch up.

Across the street, Matsueda Azusa smacked his lips. He was already annoyed, and now he had to endure this humiliation just for a walk? He had just done it to avoid getting his momentary pleasure and causing trouble for Kawaharagi and the others, but there was no rule that he had to endure it forever, right?

Glancing at the traffic light, the moment it turned red, Matsueda Azusa without hesitation raised the international friendly sign to the two people across the street and shouted provocatively: "(Neon curse word)"

At the same time, Momoka Kawahara next to her also raised her middle finger towards the opposite side, and she was even more excessive than Azusa Matsueda, even using both hands.

"Eh?"

Jing Serina looked at Matsueda Azusa and Kawahara Ki Momoka blankly. The two seniors who were in the band did the same. Is this a special gesture for saying goodbye between band members?

Obviously, this action instantly angered the two men, and they shouted at Songzhi Zi: "I will kill you! Don't run away if you dare!"

Matsueda Azusa and Kawaharaki Momoka looked at each other, turned around and ran without hesitation.

It was just a joke, a provocation, but Matsueda Azusa didn't want to get tangled up with this thug. Putting aside the question of whether he could beat him or not—well, he couldn't. But the bottom line was, if he won, he'd end up in jail; if he lost, he'd end up in the hospital. Rather than suffer the consequences, it was better to get out of here.

"Eh?! Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Jing Serina followed Matsueda Azusa and Kawaharaki Momoka and fled in bewildered silence. "Is this a dark duel between bands? Whoever wins gets to perform here?"
