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

If my musical talent could be as good as Chen Xinghua, then I could...

Isn’t Xiaoxiang very happy now? Since she is happy, shouldn’t you feel happy too... Sanjiao Chuhua looked at the part of Toyokawa Shoko that was not covered by the lace mask that was a bit difficult to stretch, and realized that she seemed to have a relationship with Chen Xinghua other than an ordinary business relationship.

Perhaps Xiaoxiang herself does not know her feelings for Chen Xinghua, because it is common for bystanders to see more clearly than those involved.

But Sanjiao Chuhua seemed to see through this feeling.

"Hatsuka, Hachiman... and Meowmu-kun."

Chen Xinghua turned to look at the band members, "Do you have any questions about the music?"

Chapter 164 is really nostalgic.

After a day of practice, Sankaku Hatsuka handed the transparent mineral water bottle to Yutenji Wakamugi, because the latter looked like he was really exhausted from the high-intensity drumming.

Look, her face is as red as a dying cat, and she is breathing in and out desperately, trying to absorb oxygen from the air to support her body movements.

So Sanjiao Chuhua decided that this guy was the band member who needed water the most at the moment.

"You've worked hard, would you like some water?"

Sankaku Hatsuka tilted her head and spoke to Yutenji Wakami, but her peripheral vision was focused on Toyokawa Shoko.

"Please continue to work hard during your next practice. Time is running out before we make our debut and announce our existence to the world."

Toyokawa Shoko bowed gracefully to everyone.

"gone."

Chen Xinghua reminded Toyokawa Xiangzi and asked her to turn around and follow him. "Well, everyone, Oblivionis and I will go back first."

"If you still want to practice in the studio, go ahead... I've already extended the lease for two hours."

Chen Xinghua waved his hand.

The relationship between them is really close. Sankaku Hatsuka lowered her head because she noticed that the mineral water bottle in her hand was taken away by Yutenji Wakami.

"Thanks for the water. I feel like I'm almost alive again."

Yutiansi Ruomai swallowed half a bottle of water without any regard for etiquette. After all, the drum music compiled by Chen Xinghua was really not something a human could perform.

Perhaps she would have to wait until Yutenji Wakami grew a few more hands before she could easily fulfill Chen Xinghua's request.

However, by that time, Chen Xinghua, seeing that Yutenji Wakamai had grown several hands, might increase the difficulty of the drum score.

After all, we have many hands, so we can definitely play more difficult drum music.

"Are you supposed to be the Mitsuka Hatsuka from Sumimi?"

Yutenji Wakamu tried to establish a relationship with Sankaku Hatsuka, "Actually, I've always been a big fan of yours."

"Your drumming is very professional. I have a feeling we will have great cooperation in the future."

Sanjiao Chuhua clasped his hands together, but his peripheral vision was still on Chen Xinghua and Toyokawa Shoko.

The two guys walked out of the door, keeping a distance between them.

...left together? Sanjiao Chuhua's rotating purple eyes captured this astonishing scene.

"My name is Yutenji Wakamugi, just call me Meowen-kun."

Yutenji Wakamugi spoke in a relaxed tone, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Then can I go to Hatsuko's house to play?"

Yutenji Wakamugi naturally called Sankaku Hatsuka "Hatsuko" and seemed quite familiar with her.

"I think it's especially cute to add a 'zi' after the name."

As if afraid that Sankaku Hatsuka didn't understand why he called her "Hatsuko", Yutenji Wakamugi added another sentence.

"Of course you can."

Sanjiao Chuhua maintains his most classic idol-like smile, exuding an acquired aura of Yangjiao.

"Then I'll leave first."

Hachiman Kailing tidied up her bass, put it into the bass bag on the ground, and then put the tidied bass bag on her back.

"See you at the next practice, everyone."

As a bass mercenary with experience in more than 30 bands, Hachiman Kailing certainly knows that one should be relaxed in moderation and combine work and rest when doing things.

Blindly training hard will only completely destroy a person's body and mind. After all, people are not made of steel. If people continue to bear pressure and do not relax, they will completely explode.

So she didn't plan to continue practicing here.

"Haizi is gone too."

There was a hint of regret in Yutenji Wakamu's tone.

Outside the door, Chen Xinghua casually asked Toyokawa Xiangzi: "What is your relationship with Chuhua?"

He was somewhat curious about the relationship between Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka.

After thinking for a while, Toyokawa Shoko decided to give the truthful answer. After all, she had nothing to hide from Chen Xinghua.

This guy already knows his financial situation, which should be kept strictly confidential, so it shouldn't matter if he knows a little more about his situation.

"Childhood sweethearts... During my summer vacation, I often went to the island where Chuhua lived to cool off."

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head slightly, with a hint of nostalgia on her face.

She was not only missing the wonderful holiday memories she had spent with Sanjiao Chuhua, but also missing the carefree self in the past who did not have to worry about any financial situation.

At that time, she was still the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. She didn't have to worry about whether her next meal would be a bean sprout bento or starvation, whether she would have to embezzle tomorrow's meal money to pay the rent for the day after tomorrow, or whether the customer service company she worked for would be a black-hearted company that would run away after exploiting child labor.

All she had to worry about were the same things that an ordinary young lady would worry about, such as today's piano lesson, tomorrow's ballet lesson, and the gardening lesson the day after tomorrow.

"It was at that time that I unexpectedly met Chu Hua."

Recalling the good memories of the past, a smile appeared on Shoko Toyokawa's lips.

Chen Xinghua listened silently to Toyokawa Shoko's recollections of the good old days, becoming a loyal silent listener.

"I remember Chuhua asked me to go catch some big bugs with him."

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head and looked at the white ceiling.

"Hum..."

As if she remembered something embarrassing, Toyokawa Shoko laughed.

After Chuhua caught the big bug, she seemed to be scared and started screaming.

But as time goes by, this embarrassing incident seems to have become an extremely beautiful memory.

"At night, we huddled together on a wooden board and looked at the stars in the sky... The stars in the countryside seemed brighter than those in the city."

“…It really makes me miss it.”

Shoko Toyokawa sighed, expressing her inner helplessness and pain.

Unfortunately, the past is past. No matter how much you miss it, it has already passed and will never come back.

The weak Shoko Toyokawa of the past is dead, and what remains here now is the new and strong Shoko Toyokawa.

She turned her head to look at Chen Xinghua, her amber pupils tinged with an emotion that she herself didn't know what it was.

“Who doesn’t want to go back to their good old childhood?”

Chen Xinghua asked in return, "It's a pity that in this world, there are only children growing up into adults, but no adults being released to grow into children."

The former is the most common thing in the world, while the latter... is something that only appears in science fiction magazines.

Chapter 165: Grab the tickets.

Clicking on the official website of the newly formed band and looking at the gradually decreasing red countdown, Shiina Riki leaned over and took out the posture of staying up late to compose music in the past, ready to press the right button of the mouse at the moment the countdown ended.

Three, two, one...

Shiina Riki silently counted the numbers in his mind and pressed the mouse hard.

Under the influence of such a huge force, the already poor quality mouse developed a few cracks. But fortunately, these cracks were not enough to affect the normal use of the mouse, or at least did not affect Shiina Riki's use of it to buy tickets.

...got it.

But it seems that she only managed to grab two tickets. Shiina Riki was a little dissatisfied. Why couldn't her hand speed be faster? This way she would definitely be able to grab more tickets.

Then again, why are tickets for this newly established band so hard to get? They haven't even held a live performance yet.

Perhaps it was because the band had such a stellar cast… they even had Sankaku Hatsuka from the band Sumimi. Speaking of which, when did Sankaku, the guy sitting in the back seat, join this band?

It could also be because the agency Triangle worked for had come up with an arrogant promotional slogan, claiming that the band had the musical level to perform at the Vienna Golden Music Hall.

It may also be because the musical style of this band is different from that of most girl bands born in the era of big girl bands... This new band actually chose jazz and classical music as the band's main musical style.

Shiina Riki remembered why she was sitting in front of the computer at this point, trying to snatch the live ticket from fans who had the same idea as her.

“But do internet celebrities play drums well?”

When her eyes fell on the drummer's information displayed on the website, Shiina Riki questioned the drummer. She has never trusted the technical level of these Internet celebrities who are chasing after traffic.

Because most of the internet celebrities who are chasing video traffic learn music just to cater to the traffic of the big girl band era.

They probably thought that just learning a few instruments would be enough to deal with those girls in bands whose musical skills weren't as good as theirs. Shiina Riki's mouth twitched.

Although this is the era of big girl bands, the level of most of the girls in the bands... it would be considered a good thing to describe it as terrible.

"And why is the pianist wrapped up so tightly?"

Pulling down the webpage, Shiina Riki complained about the pianist's outfit, "He's wrapped up tighter than Santa Claus."

In this new band, only this guy's identity information is hidden most strictly, while the others can more or less reveal some information.

As for him (her), even his (her) gender is unknown to outsiders, let alone finding out more information about him (her).

Looking at the special red eye-catching label belonging to the band at the top of the webpage, Shiina Tatsuki straightened his body, reached out from the table to grab his mobile phone, and thought about what to do with the two tickets he had just grabbed.

Generally speaking, two tickets are only enough for two or fewer people.

So she could only invite one person at most, or no one.

Invite Xinghua?

This seemed a bit too ambiguous. As soon as this idea came into her mind, Shiina Riki shook his head and rejected it.

A single man and a single woman, going to a live show together... these key things can easily make people think of something extremely bad.

...Isn't this just a date? Shiina Riki suddenly thought of this word that is so easy to misinterpret.

Then invite Suyo? Aine? Straycat?

Su Shi couldn't do that. That guy was a typical homebody. Instead of going out to watch a live show with others, she would rather stay at home, lying on the soft bed, and watching all kinds of videos.

Aine...When thinking of this name, Shiina Riki felt a little complicated.

And the wild cat... Shiina Riki rubbed her cheeks. Why did she put the wild cat on her invitation list?

She rejected the invitation list she had proposed one by one in her heart, until there was only one name left on the list.

Then invite the lights to... turn on... turn on? Shiina Riki's brain slowed down for a moment at the thought, like a gear stuck together and unable to move due to lack of lubrication.

"I invited Deng to watch the live show with me because it was for Deng's own good."

"After all, Deng is responsible for writing lyrics for the band...Occasionally watching other bands' live performances might give me inspiration for the next song."

Shiina Riki made excuses for himself.

"Even as a warm-up band, they need at least two songs. 'Shadows of Spring' cannot be played, and 'Walking with the Blue Sky' is just one song, not two."

Shiina Riki nodded while desperately looking for something in front of the teacher who came to check his homework, like a primary school student who didn't do his homework yesterday... As for what it was, it was definitely not homework.

“I’m doing this for the band.”

Shiina Riki said stubbornly, "Besides, I also need to go out and find inspiration for arranging music... Watching live performances is also a great way for band arrangers to find inspiration."

Shiina Riki seemed to have forgotten that she was the only one in the room, so she didn't need to explain the motivation for her behavior to others.

But for her, this should be a very unimportant thing.
