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

Hmm...Kaname Lenai lowered her eyes with some disappointment.

It seemed like it was okay to sleep in his arms, she didn't mind.

"...Can we sleep together without being a couple?"

Yao Lenai felt like he could find a bug.

"no……"

Chen Xinghua quickly rejected it.

"Ah."

Yao Lenai lowered his head in dejection.

Seeing Rakuna's "abnormally innocent" behavior, Goto Ichiri gradually recalled the shyness of her own behavior. Her originally resolute face was instantly dyed red by shyness.

She...what did she do?

He actually hugged Xinghua in front of others... in front of others, and... and said such ambiguous words.

Looking at Kaname Rakuna with pure eyes, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lenai didn't know the true meaning of this behavior, otherwise she would have simply begged her desperately to forget everything she had just seen.

'Because he is my childhood sweetheart, my only childhood sweetheart.'

But when she chewed over what she had just said again, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt that this was no different from a confession?

…No, this is a confession.

As she pondered this, Goto Ichiri, who had been desperately clinging to her childhood sweetheart's arms, gradually loosened her grip. Her strength was completely absorbed by the socially anxious demon, chewing and swallowing it.

But just when Goto Ichiri lost her support and was about to fall to the ground, Chen Xinghua, who had anticipated this, reached out and grabbed her arm.

"……sorry."

Goto Ichiri opened and closed his mouth as he spoke in a low voice.

...But he didn't seem to refuse.

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt that he could sleep in the same bed with his childhood sweetheart.

Sleeping in the same bed, then kissing, hugging, and then...if they are a couple that has gone beyond a childhood sweetheart relationship, they will definitely do that.

This was too fast. Her cheeks, which had faded, suddenly turned red again.

Only at this level, the girl named Goto Ichiri had such a jumpy mind that she immediately...

"yawn……"

Chen Xinghua squinted his eyes slightly due to excessive sleepiness and yawned. "Okay, it's already this time, everyone should go to bed."

Chen Xinghua stood up from the bed and supported his waist.

"Even though tomorrow is a day off, it's better not to stay up late. After all, staying up late is not good for your health."

As he spoke, Chen Xinghua patted Yao Lenai's shoulder with his free hand, urging her to fall asleep as soon as possible.

But he was thinking about another question in his heart, that is, what if Lenai did not have no idea about the meaning of the words "lover" and "husband and wife" like today, but asked him a similar question again based on her full understanding of the meaning of these two words?

After seeing Ichiri and his relationship, Lenai, who fully understands the meaning of couples, will probably be more cautious and not ask similar questions?

Chen Xinghua rejected this conclusion because polygamy is legal in this world. So what if he has a girlfriend or even a wife?

...I'm overthinking it. He shook his head, thinking that Lenai's feelings for him were just like the feelings of a white cat that finds its owner. It wouldn't necessarily degenerate into the impure feelings between men and women like in Galgame.

So he really thought too much. Is that the only kind of relationship between men and women?

If this is really the case, Chen Xinghua feels that he should have relationships beyond the physical with a group of girls including Toyokawa Shoko, Kita Ikuyo, Chihaya Aion, Takamatsu Touma, Shiina Tatsuki, and Kaname Rakuna.

...So it really was just him thinking too much.

"I'll buy you a matcha parfait tomorrow."

Chen Xinghua patted Yao Lenai's head, causing the latter to subconsciously stretch out his **** towards him.

"...Three cups?"

"that……"

Goto Ichiri suddenly spoke loudly, causing Chen Xinghua and Kaname Lenai to turn their heads and watch her every move.

"I……"

Looking at the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looking at her, the courage in Goto Ichiri's heart disappeared in the vast sea of ​​stars, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat again.

She clearly wanted to sleep with her childhood sweetheart, and her childhood sweetheart also took the initiative to ask to sleep with her.

But why couldn't she say this out loud?

I could just say it...ah!

"It's okay, you can do it next time."

Chen Xinghua gently stroked Goto Ichiri's soft and hot cheek, comforting him as always.

"I'm always here for you."

In the end, Goto Ichiri still didn't tell her childhood sweetheart her true desire. She returned to her room with Kaname Rakuna, who longed to sleep with her childhood sweetheart, and fell asleep silently with reluctance.

……

The next day, the bright sunshine dispelled the dark clouds, and with the energy of Kita Yudai, it shone through the transparent glass windows onto Chen Xinghua's body, telling him to get up early.

But even such vibrant sunlight could not penetrate Yao Lenai's body and shine onto Chen Xinghua's face.

"Um...eh? Lenai?"

As soon as Chen Xinghua opened his eyes in a daze, he saw Yao Lenai's expressionless little face.

The touch on his body told him that Lenai was sitting on top of him, with her head sticking out to block his view.

"I got up pretty early."

Chen Xinghua narrowed his eyes and sighed.

“Play guitar.”

Yao Lenai moved her body away from Chen Xinghua and looked longingly at the black guitar hanging on the instrument stand.

In Kaname Lenai's heart, there are three things that are very important, one is matcha, two is guitar, and three is... the destination of her life.

On the premise of satisfying three, we must satisfy one and two.

"Go ahead and play it, but be careful not to break it."

As soon as Chen Xinghua followed Yao Lenai's gaze, he understood what she wanted to do.

"it is good."

Kaname Rakuna simply answered.

267

Chapter 267 Noon.

Yao Lenai walked to the wall and carefully took the guitar down from the instrument stand above. Then he lowered his head to look at the maintenance level of the guitar, and then he lifted his small nose and smelled the scent coming out of the guitar.

She didn't know if it was because of her mistake, or because the scent of the user had seeped into the guitar through constant use, but Kaname not only smelled the original scent of the guitar, but also a familiar, slightly masculine scent.

"...very similar."

Her strange-colored eyelids drooped downwards, taking Chen Xinghua into her sight.

At the same time, she hugged the black guitar tighter.

Chen Xinghua struggled to crawl out of the warm bed, sat on the mattress and stretched.

"Hey, is that Hong Xia? Is that a message?"

Chen Xinghua picked up the phone from the bedside with some doubt and looked at the familiar chat avatar.

"Want to meet...alone? Why? Is it about the band?"

"...or something else?"

Chen Xinghua thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Never mind, we'll just go and take a look... Anyway, it seems like today is the day to go and see them."

As he spoke, Chen Xinghua adjusted his pajamas.

At this time, he was particularly glad that he was a pajama person who wore pajamas to bed at night, rather than a naked sleeper.

Otherwise, he would definitely be extremely embarrassed at this moment. Glancing at Yao Lenai who was concentrating on playing the guitar, Chen Xinghua couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

"Lenai, we're going to RING later. It seems like today is the day for band practice."

Hearing this, Yao Lenai immediately turned his gaze to Chen Xinghua and raised three fingers towards him as usual.

"Still the same? Okay."

Mr. Chen Xinghua, who has extensive experience in raising cats, quickly understood what Yao Lenai meant.

"But why are there always three cups of matcha parfait? Is matcha parfait really that delicious?"

He touched his chin and began to doubt how delicious the matcha parfait was.

“Matcha is really delicious.”

Kaname nodded continuously while answering.

"Matcha parfait, matcha-flavored sencha candy... and matcha ice cream."

“They are all delicious.”

Hearing this, Chen Xinghua sighed helplessly.

"It seems like Lenai really likes matcha... Not just matcha parfaits, but all matcha-flavored snacks."

Matcha isn't the only thing she likes. Thinking of this, Kaname's lips curled up slightly, and she looked at the black guitar in her hand, then at the owner of the black guitar.

Chen Xinghua squinted his eyes, which were blurry from getting up early, raised his phone again, and looked at the message sent by Hongxia.

"Not going to STARRY, want to go somewhere else to chat?"

Looking at the latest news from Hongxia, Chen Xinghua pursed his lips.

But it seems that Hongxia doesn't want to resolve the matter in STARRY.

"Then RING should be okay too."

Chen Xinghua said in a low voice, after all, there are many places in there where they can talk about things.

Before, when Xieliang had a meal with him and talked about the band, it was in the newly opened coffee shop inside RING.

...and what big problem could there be?

Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua compiled his thoughts into a new message and sent it to Hong Xia on the other end along with the send button pressed by his finger.

"Okay... can you please do this as quickly as possible? Can we meet at noon?"

After receiving the message, Hongxia replied extremely quickly.

"Or will you have time to come in the afternoon?"

"At noon, I'll go after lunch."

Just by looking at these words, Chen Xinghua could sense that Hong Xia seemed to be a little anxious.

'it is good. '

Hong Xia answered briefly.

Looking at Hongxia's answer, Chen Xinghua shook his head, subconsciously holding the phone with the screen already lit up, and walked out of the room.

Yao Lenai watched him leave and put the guitar back on the instrument stand with some reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'll come back and use you later."

Kaname Lenai soothes the guitar with a gentle voice.

...As for now, she has something more important to do.

Walking out of the door, Chen Xinghua looked at the room next door. Its door was open, not closed.
