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

(This is a genius idea.)

'No... No... This is absolutely not possible. It's too embarrassing.'

Just thinking about this shameful scene, Goto Ichiri standing there could provide enough heat to run a nuclear power plant, and her body was about to burn with shame.

Chen Xinghua looked at his pink-haired childhood sweetheart in some surprise. Why did her face suddenly turn red... Was it because she remembered the dark history of ordering death heavy metal at noon in junior high school?

That's really shameful. Chen Xinghua nodded as he selected an animated film that suited the current atmosphere.

"Your Name, is that okay, Ichiri?"

Chen Xinghua asked Goto Ichiri whether he could play this animated film next.

"Or should I just look at it..."

Sitting at the head of the bed, Goto Ichiri covered his knees, his little eyes full of confusion.

She didn't know why Chen Xinghua asked her name, but she still raised her head and said it subconsciously.

"Goto Ichiri."

Chen Xinghua's expression was a little awkward, but he still finished what he had just said when Goto Ichiri interrupted him.

"...a different kind of movie."

"Just Your Name."

Goto Ichiri lowered her head, not wanting Chen Xinghua to see her extremely shy expression.

Just now, she didn't come to her senses and thought "Your Name" was a question instead of the name of a romantic anime movie.

If he did this in front of others, Goto Ichiri might move his body hard like the Notsuchi snake in Shimokitazawa, trying to get into a dark corner.

But even in front of his childhood sweetheart, Goto Ichiri still exuded a shy heat that was enough to evaporate the sweat on his body.

"it is good."

Chen Xinghua pressed the left button of the mouse, and the pause icon, which looked like Hongxia's triangular hair, turned into a two-bar icon symbolizing play.

Sitting back at the head of the bed, Chen Xinghua quietly moved his body closer to Goto Ichiri.

Ichiri likes him, and he also likes Goto Ichiri.

So can we sleep together tonight?

We have lived together for more than ten years, so it should be okay to do something more intimate today.

But Chen Xinghua didn't say it in the end.

Because he felt that once he said this, he could immediately cover Yili with the quilt.

This doesn't mean that Yili will sleep in the same bed with him, but that Yili will faint from shyness because of his words.

Thinking back on Yili's past actions, Chen Xinghua felt that this possibility was becoming more and more likely.

After all, just holding his hand outside would make Yili foam at the mouth with social anxiety.

If we were to sleep in the same bed...

Forget it, let’s take it step by step.

There is still plenty of time, so there is no need to be bound by the present moment.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua began to observe Goto Ichiri's face out of boredom, and suddenly found that the blush on it had not yet faded.

Still thinking about dark history?

But if you look closely, Yili is actually quite good-looking... she just doesn't know how to dress up and let her charm show.

But the average beauty level in this world seems to be quite high. Chen Xinghua recalled the girls he had interacted with and made such an exclamation.

Thinking of this, he struggled to move his gaze away from Goto Ichiri and moved it to the screen that was playing "Your Name".

Did he promise Aiyin that he would go out with her tomorrow? Chen Xinghua leaned his head against her back, and this memory flashed through his mind.

Hmm... can we ask Yili to come with us? She seems like she hasn't been out for a long time and has been staying at home the whole time. If she keeps going like this, she might become a total otaku who is afraid to go out.

Forget it, let's not bother Yili. After thinking for a moment, Chen Xinghua gave up this somewhat whimsical idea.

Because Chen Xinghua knew his childhood sweetheart's personality very well, he thought that instead of going out with a girl he didn't know well, Goto Ichiri might prefer to stay at home alone, playing guitar, watching videos, playing video games, etc.

After all, Ichiri and Aine weren't really that familiar with each other.

If I tell Yili that I want to go out with him tomorrow, he might nod in agreement while pretending to resist.

But what's the point of doing that?

Is it just to achieve an achievement that makes people socially anxious?

Chen Xinghua put down his hand and thought that if he was going out to play with Hongxia, Xiduo, and Liang, he could call Yili along.

Because even if Goto Ichiri is very socially anxious, he would not be so socially anxious towards friends he is very familiar with.

Chapter 237 Why did it disband?

As the sun rose higher in the sky, the newly opened coffee shop welcomed another wave of people, who filled about half of the seats in the store in groups of three or four.

Chihaya Aine, who had found a seat early, lay down on the table tiredly, sipping hot milk tea with too much sugar in it.

She looked up towards the gate from time to time, as if waiting for something.

But the clock hanging next to the ceiling kept reminding her that it was still a long time before their agreed meeting time... Was she really too early?

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Chihaya Aine subconsciously reached out and wiped the liquid from her lips.

"How long will it take?"

He will definitely come...

He will definitely not abandon me like that nameless band...

“…It’s bottomed out.”

Would you like another drink?

The clean glass reflected Chihaya Aine's lifeless gray eyes and an expression that looked like a doll that had lost all emotion.

Chihaya Aine lowered her head and immersed herself in silence, preparing to use it to pass this uneasy time.

At this moment, a sudden sound awakened Chihaya Aine's mind which was about to sink.

"Aine, you're here so early...it's only twelve o'clock in the afternoon."

Chen Xinghua stood beside the table, looking at Chihaya Aine's face with some curiosity.

“Hmm…ah.”

Chihaya Aine lowered her voice and waved her arms helplessly a few times before she calmed down.

……finally come.

"It's okay, I came too early. I'm sorry..."

Chihaya Aine picked up the cell phone beside her in a panic and put it in her trouser pocket.

“Don’t be sorry… By the way, Aine, have you had lunch?”

Chen Xinghua jumped over the corner of the table, further closing the distance between himself and Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine did not answer Chen Xinghua's question immediately. She just glanced at the plates on the table with her gray eyes.

Chen Xinghua followed Chihaya Aine's gaze and saw a few pieces of sandwich residue on the plate.

"So you ate it... It feels like you're talking nonsense literature."

"Uh-huh."

Chihaya Aine nodded in agreement.

However, the girl's mood suddenly improved a lot after hearing Chen Xinghua's voice. This was not because she liked listening to nonsense literature, but because these words were said by Chen Xinghua.

"Don't worry so much."

Chihaya Aine's hand, which was hidden under the table, turned and aimed at Chen Xinghua's exposed hand, like a hunter who had found his prey, ready to attack at any time.

But after thinking for a moment, she let go of her hand. Because without a legitimate reason, Chihaya Aine could not hold hands with Chen Xinghua.

She is currently just Xinghua's friend, not a girlfriend, or a childhood sweetheart.

"According to the theory of special relativity, weekends are always shorter than weekdays..."

Chihaya Aine applied what she learned from the small video.

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Xinghua's mouth twitched a few times.

“I agree that weekends are subjectively shorter than weekdays…”

But using the special theory of relativity is too absurd. Chihaya Aine read this sentence from Chen Xinghua's black pupils.

It's just a metaphor, don't take it too seriously. Chihaya Aine gave Chen Xinghua a silly smile and conveyed this to her.

"So let's hurry up and get out there, or the weekend will be over soon...and Monday will be here again."

Chihaya Aine widened her eyes and used some slightly exaggerated words.

"When I think about finally making it to the weekend and then having to go back to school...it's so painful."

Chihaya Aine's right hand hung naturally on the table.

Chen Xinghua sighed helplessly, turned around and walked straight towards the door.

"Let's go out and play... By the way, are there any good movies in the cinema recently?"

Chihaya Aine took brisk steps and followed Chen Xinghua, as if she was following her boyfriend's close girlfriend.

"No... there are a lot of bad movies coming out lately."

Now in this place, there are only him and her, no more people, no Deng, no Li Xi, no Su Shi, and no Xiangzi.

When Chihaya Aine thought of Xiangzi, her heart, which was beating constantly, suddenly stopped for a moment.

“None of them are worth taking a photo of after seeing them.”

Chihaya Aine pretended to sigh, but actually took the opportunity to quicken her pace and walked in step with Chen Xinghua.

Xiangzi... Xiangzi.

Although Chihaya Aine does not hate Toyokawa Shoko, she is inevitably afraid of what Toyokawa Shoko represents.

Because in the memories of "Chihaya Aion", the last nail in the coffin of the band she once joined was hammered by Toyokawa Shoko herself.

Although the parties involved may not be aware of this, Chihaya Aine knows very well that after Shoko Toyokawa returned to the resurrected "CRYCHIC", the band that had never been given a name from birth to death completely lost the possibility of revival.

Even if Toyokawa Shoko doesn't come back, "Chihaya Aine" can't imagine how to revive the band... through singing?

...It seems like the plot in a hot-blooded comic.

"It seems like Deng and the others haven't decided on a band name yet?"

Chihaya Aine glanced at Chen Xinghua and said something casually.

"Haven't you taken it yet?"

Chen Xinghua was stunned for a moment, and then he found that what Chihaya Aine said seemed to be true.

The evidence is that when he thinks of the Band of Lights now, he does not use the name of the Band of Lights to describe the Band of Lights, but uses "the Band of Lights" to describe the Band of Lights.

"It really seems like a band just hanging out for fun... Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

Under the scorching sun, Chen Xinghua squinted his eyes.

Does Aine feel that Deng’s band definitely doesn’t meet her original goal of joining a band?

It seemed that she joined the Deng band just to attract attention.

"No, it's OK."

Chihaya Aine responded with a smile, not seeming to be dissatisfied at all.

Because compared to being the protagonist of a fascinating story with ups and downs and someone dying from time to time, Chihaya Aine still feels that it is better to be the protagonist of an everyday heartwarming story.

Although the story with the latter as the protagonist may be a bit too bland to be very interesting.

"How's your band...?"
