In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Nagasaki Suyo is trying to reconcile the relationship between Shiina Riki and the other band members.

Because she felt that Tatsuki Shiina seemed to be angry because the two guitarists in the band left early, thus putting pressure on the two lead guitarists and rhythm guitarists in the band.

This is not good for the future development of the band.

"Ok, I know."

Shiina Riki was playing the drums silently. If the two guitarists were to be angry and put pressure on each other, they would definitely not be as good as Toyokawa Shoko.

Because if Toyokawa Shoko were here, she would definitely be able to solve all the problems plaguing the band while everyone is happy... just like 'CRYCHIC' in the past.

"I think the rain outside might be really heavy."

Nagasaki Suyo pinched her fingers and looked at Shiina Riki's face with some worry.

"That's why he couldn't get here in time."

The rain outside the studio wasn't too heavy, but it wasn't too light either. It was probably enough to wet the case of a music keyboard under an ordinary umbrella... probably the same amount of rain as on the day CRYCHIC disbanded.

"I know."

Shiina Riki nodded first, then turned to look at the lamp.

"Deng, do you want to practice more?"

The rain was still falling outside the recording studio, but even though the rain outside couldn't flow into the recording studio, it didn't mean it couldn't flow into people's hearts.

After all, the environment not only affects the working efficiency of the machinery, but also affects people's mood.

After hesitating for a moment, the lamp uttered a word.

“…More.”

"Interesting woman."

Kaname Rakuna, who was about to walk out the door, suddenly turned around and said.

Chapter 160 It’s already four o’clock in the afternoon.

Leaning against the window, looking at the raindrops gradually stopping outside the window, Chen Xinghua slightly adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.

The mobile phone screen on the table emits a dim light, showing the current time.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon... Chen Xinghua's peripheral vision inadvertently caught the time displayed on the mobile phone screen.

After taking into account the travel time, even if we set off immediately for Deng's band's recording studio, we would probably not be able to catch up with their practice time.

So he leaned on the table, sighed deeply, and outlined the future blueprint for his band's next piece of music in his heart... The sooner this band officially debuts, the better.

There was a slight friction sound between the wooden door and the door frame, and a gap opened up that was wide enough for one person to pass through, heralding the arrival of the next guest.

The pink-haired girl walked in through the crack in the door, and then casually hung a brand new pink umbrella with water stains in her hand aside.

Unfortunately, the black guitar bag she was carrying on her back was not completely protected by the umbrella. The black outer layer was covered with raindrops, which made people wonder whether the guitar inside would suffer some additional damage because of this accident.

As the girl walked into the coffee shop and the antique-style door was about to close, a fair but not very well-behaved little hand pushed the door open again and followed behind the pink-haired girl.

"Aine? Is practice over?"

When Chen Xinghua saw the familiar girl, he immediately stood up from his chair and turned his body towards Chihaya Aine.

...Or did you skip practice?

Chihaya Aine pinched her waist-length pink hair and walked to the position opposite Chen Xinghua in two steps.

"Oh... let's order something to eat first."

Chen Xinghua didn't plan to ask Chihaya Aine why she didn't practice with Deng and the others in the recording studio during the time they were supposed to be practicing.

...Because this is meaningless, what's the point of asking for superficial reasons? Even if the superficial reasons given by Aine are perfect, or even terrible, does it make any difference?

Chen Xinghua could use Kita's guitar strings to guess the deeper reason why Aine didn't practice with Deng. It was simply that she felt that Deng's band was too stressful and it was difficult to bring positive feedback.

But she must have found an excuse to leave early...Aine shouldn't just leave casually like Lenna, dragging her instrument case with her.

"Would you like to try the new mocha coffee in this shop?"

Chen Xinghua pushed away the coffee cup he had already emptied and sat back down. "I think this tastes pretty good. I highly recommend it."

"And this mixed fruit sandwich...I think it's pretty good too."

Don’t you ask me why I’m here when I should be practicing with Deng? Chihaya Aine leaned on her arms and looked at Chen Xinghua’s black pupils.

"Here's a tissue... do you want to wipe it?"

Chen Xinghua glanced at Chihaya Aine's slightly wet hair and pointed at the tissue box placed aside.

"Um……"

Chihaya Aine hurriedly pulled a few tissues from the tissue box placed aside and wiped the mixture of sweat and rain from her forehead.

"Actually, I prefer Earl Grey tea... because coffee without sugar and milk is usually very bitter."

Chihaya Aine sat down, and her five fingers with distinct knuckles brushed across her bangs in front of her forehead.

"I don't like bitter things."

A strand of white hair, which was considered extremely standard in terms of texture, color and length, suddenly poked into Chen Xinghua's open palm.

"Lena?"

When Chen Xinghua saw the iconic white fur, a very familiar white cat suddenly appeared in his mind.

No, he shook his head, Lenai is a human, not a cat, no matter how much her behavior is like a cat.

"Matcha Buffy after practice."

Yao Lenai slowly poked her head out from under the seat and sat down on the seat next to Chen Xinghua.

"Lena really walks as silently as a cat."

Chihaya Aine narrowed her eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Before Rakuna showed up, Chihaya Aine hadn't noticed at all that there was a wild cat following her whose behavior was a bit like a white cat... No, it was Rakuna.

Because when Lena goes out on a rainy day, she would carry an umbrella like a human, instead of wandering around in the pouring rain like a wild cat. Chihaya Aine carefully observed Lena's hair and came to this conclusion after discovering that there were only a few water stains on it.

Because if Lenai didn't bring an umbrella, her whole body would be soaked like a wild cat pulled out of a bathtub full of water, instead of just her hair being a little wet like now.

Yao Lenai shook her head, and in the process, shook off a small water stain on her short white hair.

"Matcha Buffy."

What a persistent kitten! Chen Xinghua couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Did you tell Deng and the others in advance before leaving?"

Chen Xinghua asked in a low voice. He felt that Yao Lenai might leave the recording studio early without saying anything.

Yao Lenai shook her legs, thought about Chen Xinghua's question, and then said: "Before leaving, I told you... Because you said it would be impolite not to tell me before leaving."

It seems that our Lenai is more polite than before. Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua left his seat and asked the waiter to order three cups of matcha parfait.

I feel like I am feeding a cute heterochromatic wild cat, except that other people feed wild cats with regular cat food, sausages and the like, while I feed them matcha parfait.

...There didn't seem to be any fundamental difference. Suddenly, a rather strange train of thought emerged in Chen Xinghua's mind.

When he returned to his seat, he saw Chihaya Aine holding a tissue and trying hard to wipe the slightly wet white short hair on Kaname Rakuna's head.

"Um, Aine, do you want something to eat?"

Chen Xinghua asked in a low voice.

"Me..."

Chihaya Aine pointed at herself, "Earl Grey tea... and a mixed fruit sandwich, that's all."

Chapter 161 I am the great guitar hero, Goto Ichiri!

The night after the rain stopped was very quiet. The light from the neon lights on the street shone on the surface of the puddles, reflecting light of different colors.

But all this has nothing to do with Chen Xinghua, who has left the coffee shop, returned to his residence, and placed his shoes at the entrance.

A notification from the office where Sanjiao Chuhua, whom he had just added, lit up the screen of his phone and reflected in his retina.

"So fast."

After glancing at the new notification, Chen Xinghua couldn't help but take a deep breath.

...It's been less than five hours since he signed the contract with Sanjiao Chuhua and the agency behind her. Have they prepared several venues for the band's first performance so quickly?

After putting the keyboard box in his room, Chen Xinghua walked carefully to Boqi's room and knocked on the door.

"Ichiri...what are you doing?"

The door was pushed open suddenly, and then a small pink head popped out from inside the door.

Then, when the little pink head saw her childhood sweetheart who was so familiar to her, an expression of fear instantly appeared on her face.

Because she suddenly remembered what she had done today... She practiced guitar in the morning, spent half of the afternoon browsing the comment section under her own video, receiving everyone's praise for Guitar Hero, and the other half of the time searching for good music online.

As for the weekend homework, she seems to have not started a single word yet.

She had clearly planned to finish the homework assigned by the teacher on Saturday and spend the rest of the weekend eating, drinking and having fun.

But as a result of procrastination... not only did she not finish all her homework, she didn't even make 1% of the progress.

"I was actually studying hard while you were away!!"

(Don’t be so anxious…it’s only Saturday, isn’t it? There’s still Sunday!)

"Goto Ichiri" reminded Goto Ichiri in his heart.

"Yeah, there's still Sunday, so why am I in such a hurry?"

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief. In her haste, she had actually forgotten this crucial thing.

The weekend is a full two days of vacation...

Looking at her expression, you can tell that she has been slacking off all day. A trace of helplessness flashed across Chen Xinghua's face. With many years of experience of students slacking off, he certainly saw what Yili had done today.

"Then start studying hard tomorrow and strive to pass the upcoming exams without repeating a grade."

Chen Xinghua subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Goto Ichiri's short pink hair to soothe her increasingly anxious mood, just like he often did to Goto Ichiri when he was a child.

But Goto Ichiri's movements were even faster than Chen Xinghua's. She directly used her pink little head to hit Chen Xinghua's palm, then closed her eyes, twisted her head hard, and rubbed Chen Xinghua's palm.

(I didn’t realize you have some of my style…)

After Goto Ichiri's actions, even the voice of "Goto Ichiri" praising Goto Ichiri in his heart was filled with a bit of shock.

(But this is me, Ichiri Goto, the guitar hero that only comes out once in a million years.)

Soon, "Goto Ichiri" transferred the praise for Goto Ichiri to herself, because for her, praising Goto Ichiri was equivalent to praising "Goto Ichiri".

'You're such a cocky person.'

While Goto Ichiri was complaining about another self in his mind, he was using the tactile sense on his pink little head to feel the warmth and touch of Chen Xinghua's palm.

But unfortunately, due to the limitations of human tactile senses, Goto Ichiri was unable to further feel the various data of Chen Xinghua's palm.

"This is just something Xinghua and I used to do when we were little. It's nothing big."

"Yeah... Yeah, that's it. As far as patting the head is concerned, it's no big deal."

Goto Ichiri didn't know whether what she said was true or false, but she felt that it couldn't be truer... because people wouldn't lie to themselves in their hearts, right?

(Yes, yes, it’s just a pat on the head, no big deal.)

"Goto Ichiri" There was a hint of teasing in the tone of Goto Ichiri's heart.

(So ​​what's your next step? ... A love guru with experience in a hundred love comic books recommends holding hands, kissing, raping, having sex, having children, and getting a marriage certificate.)

"Hey, this, this... Don't mislead me."

Goto Ichiri subconsciously retorted, "Rape and the like... are illegal."

"And this is the real world... not the world inside the butter."

Gazing at the funny reaction of his other self in his mind, "Goto Ichiri" suddenly felt that he should tease Goto Ichiri a little longer so that this naive guy could grow up.
