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

So how should I answer his question now?

Especially good? That's too arrogant.

But a little? Now is not the time to be modest, Xiaoxiang is still here.

"I think my guitar skills should be able to support my fame."

Sanjiao Chuhua used her idol experience to control herself and showed a very sunny smile, exuding a sunny atmosphere.

Let's use this compromise answer.

But hidden beneath this smile full of Yangjiao's aura is Sanjiao Chuhua's doubtful heart.

What is the relationship between this man and Xiaoxiang?

Is it a partnership? It doesn't seem like...

Is it a friendship? Or something more intimate?

...kind of.

Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but think of something even worse. Because when a man and a woman are together, it's easy to associate them with something particularly bad.

For example, are they in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, or a relationship closer than boyfriend-girlfriend?

"As for jazz and classical styles... although the styles I played outside before were all popular, I have also practiced jazz and classical music privately."

Sanjiao Chuhua said with a smile.

Chapter 156 Can I borrow your guitar?

Sanjiao Chuhua observed his childhood sweetheart, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, out of the corner of his eye, and watched her use the art of language to force her agent into a corner.

Xiaoxiang is indeed as perfect as I remembered... She is truly a young lady with an elegant and aristocratic temperament.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to open a recording studio outside and practice with you."

Chen Xinghua's words drew back Sanjiao Chuhua's attention from focusing on Toyokawa Shoko.

From what Xiaoxiang said, it seemed like he wanted me to form a band with him. Sanjiao Chuhua tried his best to maintain a polite and natural smile.

In that case... can I stay with Xiaoxiang? The "CPU" in Sanjiao Chuhua's brain began to work rapidly, providing the most basic "computing power" support for his next decision.

This man seems to have a special relationship with Xiaoxiang → so if I join his band, will I be connected with Xiaoxiang → then can I deepen my friendship with Xiaoxiang?

works.

"...After all, seeing is believing."

Chen Xinghua said what he was thinking, "If you're willing, how about going now?"

"sure."

Sanjiao Chuhua nodded, "But I think it might be better to practice in the recording studio inside the agency."

"Because the facilities inside the office are more complete than those outside...how do you think?"

When Toyokawa Shoko heard Sankaku Hatsuka's voice, she raised her head and finally took her eyes off her agent, whose face was covered in sweat from nervousness. A hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful amber eyes.

Can Chuhua hold up under Xinghua's pressure? This doubt flashed through Toyokawa Shoko's mind.

However, this doubt disappeared when Toyokawa Shoko remembered Sankaku Hatsuka's current identity.

It should be possible, because Chuhua is no longer the country girl on the island, she has become a popular idol.

"That Chuhua, I hope you can bear it."

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa's tone was no longer as flat, precise, and indifferent as when she was talking to Sanjiao Chuhua's agent before, but it carried a few hints of tenderness.

“It’s very helpful for your dreams.”

Toyokawa Shoko then added this sentence.

At this moment, these words were like the winter sunshine, injecting a faint warmth into Sanjiao Chuhua's body.

My dream, Xiaoxiang still remembers what my dream is.

But after calming himself down, Sanjiao Chuhua pinched his thighs with his hands on the table.

"I hope I can handle this." Does that mean Xiaoxiang doesn't fully trust my abilities? Does he think I can't handle this easily?

"I think I should be able to adapt to the new band style."

Sanjiao Chuhua was full of confidence and didn't think he would return empty-handed at all.

After all, the idol group Sumimi she is in now is one of the most popular idol groups at the moment.

As Sumimi, she is quite capable.

"I can rest assured that."

Chen Xinghua let out a long sigh. He felt that with Sanjiao Chuhua's guitar level, he should be able to take on the position of guitarist in his band... provided that Sanjiao Chuhua would not run away because of the pressure.

The agent who had just been pressured by Toyokawa Shoko breathed a sigh of relief. God had no idea why this blue-haired girl, who was not tall and young, had such an unusually heavy aura in business negotiations.

……

The recording studio owned by the agency where Sankaku Hatsuka works seems to be particularly professional. The cost of various effects and recording equipment alone exceeds tens of millions of yen, not to mention the value of the various musical instruments placed on the side.

"This is the song I composed yesterday. See if you can play it."

As soon as Chen Xinghua put his toes down, he found the tablet used to display the music score and uploaded the music stored in his mobile phone into it.

Sanjiao Chuhua glanced at the music score uploaded by Chen Xinghua. After confirming that she could play the music well, she secretly glanced at Toyokawa Shoko and once again found that her white moonlight set her sights on this man she didn't know.

White moonlight... such a beautiful thing that is out of reach. But for some people, other people's white moonlight is something that is within their reach.

Sanjiao Chuhua wiped the sweat from his forehead in a somewhat inappropriate manner.

As an idol, he shouldn't behave in such an inappropriate manner in front of his collaborators.

"Hmm...it's okay. I can play it."

Even though she felt a pain coming from an unknown source in her heart, Sanjiao Chuhua still maintained the basic qualities of a guitarist and desperately browsed the music score displayed on the tablet screen, as if this could alleviate the inexplicable pain in her heart.

Reaching out to open the pick box, he took out a brand new metal pick and played a jazz-style guitar piece according to the music score he saw.

The composer is simply a genius. He skillfully blended the pop and jazz styles in the melody, making the guitar part of the song more elegant and popular.

...He is simply a natural arranger.

As a guitarist, Sanjiao Chuhua can better see the ingenuity in the songs composed by Chen Xinghua.

It's just like when most people eat delicious food, they can only use poor adjectives like "this is delicious" to describe the delicious taste they have tasted.

Professionally trained gourmets, however, can evaluate the delicacies they have tasted based on their color, aroma, taste and other perspectives that others would never imagine.

Sanjiao Chuhua took a deep breath and absorbed the oxygen he needed from the air.

If he really composed this song himself, then the agency's plan to have him and me form a band seems to have some rationality.

So how does it compare to yourself?

I am the guitarist, lyricist and composer of Sumimi.

Is he far better than me in arranging music?

...It also depends on the other instrumental parts in the song he arranged.

However, Sanjiao Chuhua also knew that the person who could compose such a musical score could not have low composing skills.

After just listening to Sanjiao Chuhua's performance, Chen Xinghua had already found some parts of her performance that were worth modifying.

"I think you're in these places...wouldn't it be better to play it like this?"

Chen Xinghua shook his head and said calmly, "Um, can I borrow your guitar?"

157

Chapter 157 Are he and she from two different worlds after all?

"I think it's hard to explain it simply by talking...it's better to demonstrate it yourself."

Chen Xinghua looked at the great face of Sanjiao Chuhua.

"sorry to bother you."

Sanjiao Chuhua gave a formal smile with an apologetic tone, but a sense of foreboding suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart.

He should be the pianist and part-time arranger in the band, Sanjiao Chuhua recalled the conversation between Xiaoxiang and his agent just now.

The pianist said he wanted to teach the guitarist in the team how to play by personally demonstrating... Isn't this a bit too genius?

Sanjiao Chuhua did not deny the possibility that Chen Xinghua could play the guitar better than himself. After all, there were geniuses in this world who had practiced multiple instruments to extremely high levels.

One more man didn't seem out of the question.

Holding the metal pick between his fingers, Chen Xinghua slid it down from the top of the black guitar, and just like that, he began his demonstration performance.

The rhythmic sound from the familiar guitar gave Sanjiao Chuhua a little guitar shock, causing her body to tremble slightly to the beat of the music.

Compared to Triangle Chuhua, the long guitar sound shocked her agent even more, forcing her to hold on to the wall without any expression and to support her body.

This is not because the sound of Chen Xinghua's guitar playing is as harsh as a naughty wild cat scratching a blackboard with its claws, but because he plays so well.

It was so good that even the agent, who had never taken a day of professional music lessons, could use his ears to easily tell who played the guitar better between Chen Xinghua and Sanjiao Chuhua.

The higher Chen Xinghua's self-worth is, the lower the bargaining power of their firm will be.

After all, although there are many geniuses in playing musical instruments in this world, there are differences between geniuses... Poor geniuses have to try their best to get other people's investment, while outstanding geniuses choose other people's investment, rather than being chosen by other people's investment.

"Would it be better to play it this way?"

Chen Xinghua's voice had a touch of warmth.

But whether it is for our Triangle Ms. Chuhua or for our miserable agent Ms., the voice that came out of his mouth sounded very cold and cruel, enough to take away the warmth in the bodies of these two ladies.

"Can you play it again?"

Sanjiao Chuhua stretched the muscles at the corners of his mouth and put on a very natural and sunny smile.

"I noticed that I made a lot of mistakes in my performance just now. Could you teach me again?"

But it is not certain whether Sanjiao Chuhua's heart is as sunny as she appears.

"Didn't you hear it clearly? Then I'll play it again."

Chen Xinghua adjusted the position of the metal pick between his two fingers and played the black guitar in his hand in a more comfortable posture.

In the rhythmic sound of the guitar, Sanjiao Chuhua forgot a lot, but still remembered a lot of things.

What was her purpose in leaving that small island and coming to the big city to make her own way... A big part of the reason was to become a great singer who could stand tall and proud next to the future head of the Toyokawa family.

After all, the status of famous singers in Japan is still quite high.

As long as I can become a nationally famous singer, I will probably be able to meet my unattainable white moonlight in reality, instead of only encountering my white moonlight in my dreams after a tiring day.

But... it seems that her white moonlight has someone else in her heart.

Sanjiao Chuhua secretly looked at Toyokawa Shoko, but Toyokawa Shoko, driven by a mentality that she herself was not even aware of, raised a happy arc at the corner of her mouth and secretly looked at Chen Xinghua.

And this other person seems to be her superior substitute.

Not only is his arranging ability better than mine, he even plays the guitar better than me. And his main specialty is not guitar... it's piano.

If I had to say where he was inferior to me in music, it would probably be his singing skills, which he had never shown.

More importantly, Xiaoxiang seemed to care more about him than me. Looking at the triangle Chuhua who was secretly looking at Toyokawa Xiangzi, he once again confirmed this very cruel truth in his heart.

The white moonlight that he had been longing for but could never reach seemed to him to be something he could touch by just sitting by the window and stretching out his finger.

So when will they get married... Sanjiao Chuhua stared at Chen Xinghua's fingers, but in her heart she was thinking about his marriage with Toyokawa Shoko.

Because Shoko Toyokawa is the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, and the eldest daughter of such a large family pays the most attention to the distance between men and women.

So if they don't pay attention to the distance between themselves and a man...it goes without saying what this means.

Now Sanjiao Chuhua didn't know what to say or what to think. She just instinctively recorded Chen Xinghua's performance, instinctively absorbed the experience from his performance, and instinctively used beautiful music to cover up the increasingly complex emotions in her heart.

Are she and I from two different worlds after all?

But even so... Sanjiao Chuhua listened to Chen Xinghua's guitar and made up his mind.
