I'm surrounded by women.

She was still sound asleep.

Gao Songdeng had a dream. She dreamed that time went back to the time when CRYCHIC was just formed.

The only difference from before is that this time CRYCHIC has a new member named Katori Genzakura.

Although some changes have taken place, Takamatsu Deng is very happy that the time with CRYCHIC can come back.

Before entering CRYCHIC's practice room, Gao Songdeng took a deep breath and said to himself:

"Even if it costs me my life this time, I will keep CRYCHIC going. I want CRYCHIC to be a band that will last a lifetime!"

The feeling of walking into the practice room and playing with friends again made Takamatsu Deng feel so happy that tears flowed down his face unintentionally.

"Hey, why is Deng crying? Are you okay?" Katori Genzakura, who was lying on Nagasaki Suze's lap and acting coquettishly, was the first to notice that Takamatsu Deng was crying, and asked with concern.

"Who made Deng cry! Xiangzi, have you been too strict with Deng again?" Shiina Riki, who had just come back from buying drinks, questioned Xiangzi in a turbulent manner after seeing Takamatsu Deng crying.

After 'starting over' with CRYCHIC, Shoko Toyokawa seems to have become more strict than before, and seems to want to turn CRYCHIC into a professional band.

But we are all students, and it is inevitable that various mistakes will occur when playing. Whenever this happens, Toyokawa Shoko will be like a strict teacher, pointing out everyone's mistakes very harshly, but will also patiently teach everyone how to correct them?

"Lixi, don't question anyone before you know the truth of the matter. It was Deng who suddenly burst into tears. But, Deng, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?" Toyokawa Shoko asked with concern.

"Deng, do you want a hug~?" Katori Genzakura asked with her arms open and a warm smile.

As a new member of CRYCHIC, Katori Genzakura is like a little sun, warming every member of CRYCHIC, but this also makes the relationship between everyone a little subtle.

For example, between Nagasaki Suyo and Toyokawa Shoko, Takamatsu Deng didn't know if she was overthinking it. She remembered that Suyo and Shoko had a good relationship in the past, but this time because of the appearance of Minamoto Sakura, Suyo and Shoko often behaved like they were jealous of each other, as if they had become rivals in love.

Facing Katori Genzakura's concern, Takamatsu Deng quickly wiped away his tears with his fingers, and expressed his inner joy:

"No, nothing. I just suddenly felt like I was having a very long nightmare. In the nightmare, everyone chose to leave due to various problems, and CRYCHIC fell apart.

It is precisely because I experienced despair in the nightmare that now after waking up, I suddenly feel so happy.

Everyone is still here, and CRYCHIC is not over yet!"

"Haha, I didn't expect Deng to be so sentimental even in his dreams~

Don't worry, didn't we all agree to form a lifelong band and make CRYCHIC the only band we'll have in our lives?

We're talking about a lifetime! One year, one month, one day, one hour less, it doesn't count as a lifetime!

So, calm down, Deng~ Don't take the nightmare of CRYCHIC falling apart to heart, but how about using this nightmare as inspiration to write a new song?

Katori Genzakura smiled gently and ruffled Takamatsu Touma's hair as if comforting a baby.

Katori Genzakura's comfort gradually calmed Takamatsu Touma's heart, but the words Genzakura said were also quietly imprinted in Takamatsu Touma's heart.

——We are talking about a lifetime! One year, one month, one day, one hour less, it doesn’t count as a lifetime!

'What Yuanying said is so good...' Gao Songdeng thought to himself with emotion.

"Yes, Yuan Ying is right. Don't take the nightmare to heart. As long as I am here, CRYCHIC will never disband. If you want CRYCHIC to disband? This possibility will only happen after I die." Toyokawa Shoko said with a smile, her every move showing the demeanor of a young lady.

"Don't tell such an unlucky joke." Katori Gensakura pouted and said somewhat unhappily.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Faced with Gen Sakura's little emotion, Toyokawa Shoko quickly apologized.

"Really, don't make Gen Sakura worry about you all the time." Nagasaki Suyo complained.

"Su Shi, are you jealous?" Ruoye Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this time.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she made everyone, especially Nagasaki Suyo and Toyokawa Shoko, feel embarrassed.

Doesn't her words expose the entanglement between Toyokawa Shoko, Katori Genzakura, and Nagasaki Motoyo?

No wonder Shiina Riki once said that he wanted to tape Wakaba Mutsu's mouth shut.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Gao Songdeng felt very familiar. He was back, and everything about CRYCHIC was back!

Gao Songdeng clenched his hands and said excitedly but seriously:

"Yuan Ying's suggestion just now is a good one. I want to write down everything I dreamed about in my nightmares and make it into a song. The title of the song is - 'Summer Shadow'!"

"Hey~ The name sounds similar to 'Spring Shadow'. Does that mean we're going to have a spring, summer, autumn and winter series? After Spring Shadow comes Summer Shadow, after Summer Shadow comes Autumn Shadow, and after Autumn Shadow comes Winter Shadow! It sounds good." Katori Genzakura said in agreement.

"I think it's great too. Don't famous bands like to make a series of their classic songs? Once CRYCHIC becomes famous, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter will be our classic song series!"

Shoko Toyokawa said excitedly, her sparkling eyes seemed to have seen CRYCHIC become famous and perform at the Nippon Budokan and even the Tokyo Dome!

"If Deng wants to do this, then go ahead. I'm fine with it. Oh, by the way, Yuan Ying, let's go home together today. Didn't you promise me that you would accompany me to the veterinary hospital to pick up the kitten today?"

When Shiina Riki finished speaking, he looked at Katori Genzakura. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was very excited in his heart.

"Of course I remember, but are you sure you want to adopt that silver kitten? Didn't you say you hate having pets the most?" said Katori Gensakura.

"Of course I've decided! You have to be extremely determined to say something like that. And that kitten isn't a silver kitten. You really are good at naming things. It's a silver tabby. Hmm... But from what you said, it seems like you haven't decided on the kitten's name yet."

"Is it the kitten that likes the taste of matcha very much? I remember the first time I met that kitten, it was staring at the matcha parfait in Genying's hand. Why not just name it Matcha~" Nagasaki Suyo said with a chuckle.

Speaking of the silver tabby kitten, everyone at CRYCHIC has an impression of it.

"But why do you have to let Yuanying accompany you? Could it be that going to the pet hospital to pick up Matcha is just a cover, and you actually want to take this opportunity to be alone with Yuanying, and then-" Wakaba Mu spoke again.

"It's because the kitten loves Yuanying so much. Every time she sees Yuanying, even if Yuanying doesn't touch her, she will lie at her feet and act like a spoiled brat!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm so pissed off, Ruoyemu, you little cucumber, could you please stop talking as if you've maxed out your piercing damage every time?

I'm going to tape your mouth shut! ! ! ! Also, we haven't decided on a name for the kitten yet, so please don't mention it right away. "Matcha, okay?"

Shiina Riki seems to be about to go berserk...

"You're anxious." Ruo Yemu said lightly.

"Where's the tape? Where's the tape? If I don't tape your mouth shut today, I'm going to wash my hair upside down when I take a shower tonight!" Shiina Riki said angrily. After she finished speaking, she actually turned around to look for the tape.

After seeing Shiina Ritsuki go to look for the tape, Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu looked at each other. Katori Genzakura looked at Wakaba Mutsu with a hint of pouting in her eyes, as if to say, "Look, you've pissed Ritsuki off by talking too much. Now she's getting serious and really going to look for the tape. What if she finds out it's gone?"

Ruoye Mu was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still calm, as if to say: "I'm not afraid."

As expected, Shiina Riki really went looking for tape, but she clearly remembered buying a brand new roll of tape and putting it in the second layer of the cabinet. But after opening all the drawers of the third layer cabinet, the tape that she had put in there some time ago seemed to have disappeared out of thin air?!

Shiina Riki, who had originally come looking for the tape in anger, was stunned for a moment when he discovered that the tape had mysteriously disappeared. Then he hurried back and said nervously:

"This is terrible! Our practice room has been broken into! The roll of tape I bought has mysteriously disappeared, nowhere to be found! What kind of thief is so wicked that he would steal tape instead of anything else?!"

"Ah? Isn't the tape in the second drawer of the cabinet?" Nagasaki Suyo was a little confused, just like a mother who asked her child to find something, and the child said it wasn't there, and she didn't believe that the thing was really gone.

"That's right, but I searched for a long time and couldn't find the tape. I also searched the cabinet next to it, but still couldn't find the tape?" said Tatsuki Shiina.

"That's strange. The tape won't grow legs and run away. Besides, even if a thief came to the practice room, he couldn't possibly steal a roll of tape, right?" Shoko Toyokawa calmly analyzed the current situation.

Just as everyone was wondering where the tape had gone, no one noticed the eye contact between Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu.

Katori Genzakura: "It's all your fault. You could have just stuck with me in the practice room, but you had to use props that day! You could have used any other props, but you had to use tape!"

Wakaba Mu: "You are my fiancée. It is normal for me and my fiancée to be close, right?"

Chapter 154 Go to the pet hospital to pick up Lenai

Takamatsu Deng's eyes widened as she looked in astonishment at Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu who were not far away. She felt as if she had accidentally learned something very explosive!!!

At the same time, I also found out why the tape in the practice room disappeared...

No! Why would I care about where the tape went at this point? Isn't the relationship between Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu more shocking right now?!

Takamatsu Deng, who was originally immersed in the joy of CRYCHIC's recovery, had not yet completely recovered from her joy, but her mind was almost entirely occupied by the question of "What is the relationship between Minamoto Sakura and Wakaba Mutsu?"

Although Takamatsu Deng has never been in love and has never watched any movies about this, she is an adolescent girl after all, so it is impossible for her to not understand.

After all, even if I haven't seen any movies about this, I've probably seen some books about it before...

Although Takamatsu Deng was too shy to continue reading after just one glance at the cover and closed the webpage directly, the cover of the R18 yuri book still left a deep impression on Takamatsu Deng's mind.

Originally, he thought that he would gradually forget it, but after hearing the eye contact and inner thoughts between Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu, the cover and title of the R18 yuri book immediately appeared in Takamatsu Deng's mind!

Even the faces of the two heroines on the cover of the book gradually turned into the faces of Katori Genzakura and Wakaba Mutsu!

"My mind seems to be in a mess!!!!" Gao Songdeng cried in his heart.

Of course, what shocked Takamatsu Deng even more was that CRYCHIC's little sun, CRYCHIC's darling, Katori Genzakura, was actually Wakaba Mutsu's fiancée?!

The successive shocks made Gao Songdeng think that he had not woken up yet and was still dreaming!

"Light, light, light—can you hear me?"

It wasn't until Tateki Shiina spoke loudly that Takamatsu Deng came to his senses.

"Yes, I can hear you. Sorry, I was distracted just now." After Gao Songdeng came back to his senses, he quickly apologized.

"It's okay, I just want to tell you that today's practice time is over and it's time to pack up and leave." said Tatsuki Shiina.

"Ah~ Rikki, who always has a bad temper, only appears gentle when talking to Deng. I just put my hand into your clothes before, and you angrily wanted to carry me up.

What were you planning to do when you lifted me up? Were you planning to hit me? That's scary!

Sigh~ If anyone marries Rikki in the future, they will have to be careful about whether they will be abused by her. "

Katori Genzakura spoke softly, with a hint of green tea in her tone, which was her own speaking style. Everyone in CRYCHIC was already used to Genzakura's occasional teasing, but only Shiina Ritz could not resist Genzakura's teasing.

Whenever Yuan Ying turned into a little green tea, Shiina Riki's emotions seemed very excited and anxious, just like now -

"No, no! I'm not a violent person, and I don't want to marry you!!!"

Shiina Riki's face was red and he was so excited that what he said to Katori Genzakura seemed a little incoherent.

Seeing Shiina Ritsuki's shocking remarks in the heat of the moment, even Katori Genzakura, who always loved teasing her, couldn't help but blush. Then, while dodging the jealous glances from Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Suyo, and Wakaba Mutsu, she smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over:

"I...I didn't seem to say I wanted to marry you in what I just said, right?"

After being reminded by Katori Genzakura, Shiina Riki found that this was indeed the case. Because of this, Shiina Riki, who was already emotionally excited, naturally became even more excited.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!! I know this even if you don’t tell me! I, I just accidentally… No, I just said it… That’s not right either… Ahhhh, I’m so annoyed!”

Shiina Riki didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and finally chose to give up treatment. He turned around angrily and slammed the door and left.

boom!

There was a loud slam of the door closing.

"Rikki has a very bad temper." Katori Gensakura smiled helplessly and started thinking about how to coax Shiina Rikki.

But before Yuan Ying could take out her phone and send a comforting message to Shiina Riki on Line, Shiina Riki, who had just left angrily with a slammed door, came back, opened the door a crack, blushed, and said to Yuan Ying in a low voice:

"Really? Seriously, what are you doing? Why haven't you come out yet? Didn't we agree to go to the veterinary hospital together to pick up Lenai?"

While speaking, Shiina Riki shyly looked at Gen Sakura.

Looking at the very frank Shiina Riki, Katori Gensakura could only smile helplessly, and then asked with a smile:

"Lena...have you chosen a name for that silver tabby kitten?"

"Yes, yes! What do you think? After all, wouldn't it be too pitiful for the kitten to remain without a name?

Of course, although I am good at coming up with names, whether it is song titles, people's names or pet names, the name Lenai was just something I came up with in a few seconds, so even if it sounds a bit strange, it's not my fault!

It’s simply because I had too little time to come up with a name. If I had a few more minutes, I would definitely be able to come up with something better than I did now!”

"No one has given you a short time limit..."

Katori Genzakura thought helplessly in her heart, but she was obviously used to Rikki's awkward personality, so she didn't say much, but smiled lightly, expressing her fondness and said:

"Lena is a good name, I like it very much, but I didn't expect Rikki to be so good at naming~"

After being praised by Katori Genzakura, Shiina Riki became visibly proud.

"Humph, it's just a random name. Even if you praise me like this, I won't feel particularly happy...Okay, let's go pick up Lenai quickly. If we go too late, the pet hospital will be closed soon.

After I pick up Lenai, no matter whether she can understand what I say or not, I will teach her a lesson. As a little kitten not even as big as a palm, she actually dared to climb onto the table and steal your matcha parfait while we were at the bar to pay the bill.

Doesn't she know she can't have cold drinks at her age? She ate herself so much she ended up in the hospital. Pet hospital bills are ridiculously expensive. I saved my pocket money for six months just to buy a new pair of headphones for Singles' Day, and now, half of it went to Lenai."

This is the weird personality of Shiina Riki. Once she starts to feel proud, she will talk a lot.

Chapter 155 A lifetime vow will definitely come true!

Everyone at CRYCHIC has long been accustomed to Shiina Tatsuki's proud or talkative personality when she is happy.

It was just a habit, but when they thought about Gen Sakura going to the pet hospital with Shiina Riki to pick up Lenai, Toyokawa Shoko and the others felt a little jealous.

Unfortunately, everyone had things to do after practice today, so they couldn't go together to pick up Lenai, or go with Gen Sakura to avoid the situation where Shiina Riki and Gen Sakura were alone.

After finishing practice today, Toyokawa Shoko will go back home to have dinner with her parents. As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she rarely has the opportunity to dine with her parents, so Shoko has been looking forward to dinner tonight.
