Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

Page 49

Now they've brought five more from who-knows-where! Five people! And they're all carrying instruments. Are they here to kidnap Chen?! Or is Chen leaving their band?!

Hongxia couldn't help but let her wild imagination run wild; her demeanor was simply too deceptive.

He first pulled his girlfriend to his side and stroked her head.

Chen began to explain to them the relationship between this group and himself.

Golden Hair – Chen's roommate. Because she helped Chen when she first came to Sakura Empire, Chen is helping her form a band.

Brown Hair—a big fan of Golden Retriever, and Golden Retriever's designated lead singer.

Long, straight black hair—the drummer found by the blond guy, has nothing to do with Chen.

The girl with dark green hair and short hair—Chen's coworker at her workplace—is part of the popular online "Red Ginger" duo.

"So, Chen came this afternoon because of that Ms. Rencai? He wanted her to experience the band's atmosphere, and then he happened to run into Ryo outside, so he came over?"

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief after finally sorting out her messy interpersonal relationships; at least Chen wasn't there to quit the band.

Kita listened to Chen's relationship with those outsiders with a gossipy attitude the whole time, while our Miss Ichiri was panting heavily, as if she had survived a catastrophe.

"Oh my god, that was terrifying!" Hongxia complained about Chen's behavior, thinking he had been kidnapped by some gangsters demanding ransom.

"I injured my right hand while working, so I won't be able to participate in the band's activities for the next two weeks... And Kita, I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore."

Pochi knew about this yesterday; only Kita and Nijika in the band didn't know.

One injury directly impacted three bands; not only Mygo's guitarist, but the keyboardist who ended the band was also unable to practice. It can only be described as a grave sin.

Hongxia and Kita leaned closer to Chen's right hand and examined it carefully.

"It's okay, take good care of yourself and get well soon! Our band will be complete once Chen's injury heals, we'll be waiting for you!"

"It's okay, Chen. The guitar is my instrument, and I can't keep relying on you to take my place. I'll practice harder too!"

Ah, good boy! This is a real band!

Chen's heart was deeply warmed, but at the same time, a strong sense of guilt welled up inside him.

"I promise I'll take good care of my injury, and I'll practice even harder so I can perform on stage with everyone. Hongxia, believe me!"

Facing the soul of the band who had brought it to an end, Chen gratefully grasped her hand and shook it up and down.

Hongxia herself seemed oblivious, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Compared to that group of girls from other regions, the band members seemed quite normal after the band ended.

They were simply concerned about the injured Chen, and didn't complain at all about how his actions were affecting the band's activities.

This year's most touching figures in Sakura Empire should include the Ending Band, or at least Kita and Nijika.

"Yes, I believe Chen. Kita~ Let's go out first~ Let Chen and Ichiri be alone for a while."

Seeing that Bochi hadn't fully recovered, Hongxia decided to go out and entertain Chen's friends, and also give Ichiri and Chen some time alone.

When it comes to appeasing the locals, Chen is the most professional; professional issues should be left to professionals.

As the rehearsal room door closed, Ichiri finally stopped suppressing her emotions.

She removed Chen's hat, and the wounds that appeared before her eyes caused her immense heartache.

How could Chen have suffered such an injury in just one day? I don't understand.

She knew that Chen never wore a hat, so seeing him like this today could only mean one thing.

What is he covering up?

"It must hurt a lot..."

Yili sat on Chen's lap, facing him.

Her heart was clenching with pain, but she also knew that Chen, who had suffered such an injury, was in even greater agony than she was.

Stroking Chen's cheek, she waited patiently for her boyfriend to pour out his heart.

She believed she would get an answer.

"Yili... I didn't tell you the whole story about the work injury I mentioned yesterday..."

Chen will complete the missing parts belonging to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Then, after having lunch at your house that day, I was planning to go to Fanxing to return the money to Ms. Liang. I was thinking of wandering around Shibuya when I ran into Ms. Toyokawa again."

"I fought with her father to free her."

After describing the entire process of freeing Xiangzi, Yili trembled and hugged Chen tightly in front of him.

"Please don't do such dangerous things again, okay? I can't live without you."

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was extremely worried about Chen, who was in danger.

"Yes, I agree."

Chen pressed his lips to her bright red ones.

Greedily, she seized control of the kiss, using it to alleviate her inner fear.

"Is that Ms. Toyokawa someone Chen knew from anime before?"

After learning everything, she began to speculate about Chen's motives for helping Miss Toyokawa.

"Yes, that's right. She's not doing well, and I happened to see her in that state, so I couldn't just ignore it."

Boqi pulled open Chen's collar, looked at the hickeys that hadn't yet faded, hesitated for a moment, and then planted another one.

Chen Ren let his girlfriend worry about him.

He gently stroked her long, soft pink hair, trying to make her feel more at ease.

"What about the five people today?"

"Yes, that's true."

"That Miss Toyokawa, is she living with Chen now?"

"Yes"

"Me too! I want to stay with Chen too!"

Yili held Chen's body tightly.

She hadn't even had a chance to sleep in the same room as Chen, and now someone else had beaten her to it.

With a strong sense of crisis, Ichiri hastily made this request.

"Firstly, your aunt and uncle won't agree... How about this, next Saturday after I have dinner at your house, your aunt and uncle and I will ask you to come to my house to play, okay?"

Miss Yili thought of her parents and had no choice but to reluctantly agree. She would have to do everything she could to get them to agree to let her stay overnight at Chen's place next Saturday.

Even if Chen himself didn't intend for her to stay overnight, she would still choose to stay.

What I didn't finish last time, I'll leave for this time; I can't put it off any longer.

Chapter 45 Easily Controlling Children

After calming his girlfriend down, Chen returned to the Starry Sky Hall with the now-recovered Pochi.

The performance on stage had already begun, and Nina, full of enthusiasm, broke away from the main group and stood at the very front of the stage to watch.

Rupa, Xiaozhi, and Miss Anhe were also quite interested in the performance on stage. None of them had ever performed live before.

Only Momoka, sipping her beverage, leaned against the table, listening to the music listlessly, showing no interest in the band performing on stage.

After all, he was the former lead singer of Diamond Star, and he'd experienced much bigger events before.

Chen walked up to them and introduced the pink-haired girl to them.

When he said that this was the band's guitarist, Momoka's voice abruptly interrupted.

"You're Chihaya Aine?"

Momoka looked Ichiri up and down, her pink hair striking a chord. She'd never seen Chihaya Aine before, but this rare head of pink hair suggested it was definitely her.

Chen, standing behind Ichiri, almost couldn't hold back. He coughed and introduced Ichiri by name.

The blond-haired girl, having mistaken her identity and unleashing her possessiveness, awkwardly scratched the back of her head and apologized to the girl in front of her, who seemed utterly frightened. It took her a while to recover.

In a sense, the object of her possessiveness was not wrong, but rather too right.

As a fellow pink-haired girl, this Ichiri-san is even more dangerous than Aine-san, who's known for her smirking.

It can only be said that Momoka was fooled by Ichiri's socially awkward demeanor; otherwise, she wouldn't have lowered her guard so quickly.

I've already met Nijika and Kita; they're two very cheerful girls. I greeted them warmly.

Nina, however, seemed a bit overwhelmed by this type of performance and used the excuse of watching a live show to squeeze to the front of the stage.

Ms. Anhe chatted happily with the two of them, and they exchanged contact information. In particular, she made a promise with Nijika, who is also a drummer, that they would share their experiences later.

Two drummers of great character have made a historic meeting at this moment. Alas, looking back at Mygo, looking back at Mujica...

With Chen's intervention, Ms. Anwa didn't gain a deep understanding of the extent of Rencai's troubles. Instead, it was Hongxia who poured out her grievances to Ms. Anwa.

The trouble that Ryo's eccentric personality caused her was countless. Facing Miss Anhe's sympathetic gaze, she couldn't stop complaining about this oddball in the band.

Seeing Liang standing to the side, showing no remorse whatsoever and instead holding his head high, Hongxia's face darkened even more.

On the other hand, Hongxia was extremely curious about Chen's two colleagues, Xiaozhi and Rupa, and she wanted to know the details of how Chen met them.

When talking about her younger brother's daily life, Rupa enthusiastically recalled her first meeting with Chen and the bond that formed after she decided to help him.

Not only Kita and Nijika were repeatedly expressing their amazement, but also Ms. Anwa and Pochi were listening attentively. For them, this was all unknown, and it offered them a chance to learn more about Chen's details.

They were even more interested in Rupa and Satoshi, after all, Chen had said that they were the two members of the Red Ginger duo.

Nijika and Kita clicked on the video, which was already close to three million views, and asked them for confirmation.

Ms. Anhe, who was intensely surfing the internet, naturally understood this as well; she had never heard of her teammates having such a heavyweight presence before.

Before Chen could stop her from revealing the truth, Rupa admitted that she and Xiaozhi were the Red Ginger duo, and stated that the song wasn't written by them, but rather given to them by Chen.

Everyone gathered around. Tao Xiang knew Chen had given them a few songs, but she hadn't expected them to be such a hit.

Miss Anhe stared at Chen with an expression that seemed to say, "There's another expert?" Her opinion of the young man appeared to be even higher.

Nijika and Kita, their eyes sparkling, begged Chen to write a few more songs for the band after they ended.

Liang and Boqi reacted in unison, both opening the video website to repeatedly check Chen's achievements.

Seeing the incredibly high number of views, Miss Liang finally understood where Chen's confidence in repaying the money came from; it seemed more than enough.

It seems that after this month, I won't be able to control Chen's spending habits anymore. I guess I'll have to go back to freeloading. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a big spender.

Liang Pan, squinting, was calculating how to take advantage of Chen.

Boqi... was almost melting, but remembering that Chen was a time traveler, she realized that he probably didn't write the song. However, at least financially, there was nothing she could do to help Chen now.

However, as a guitar hero, she felt somewhat disappointed that Chen had surpassed her so easily.

However, the thought that Chen was her boyfriend made even the socially awkward guitar heroine straighten her back.

Her determination grew stronger; she was determined to improve next Saturday night.

Seeing this, Chen decided not to stop them from exchanging information.

He sat down next to Tao Xiang, preparing to wrap up today's activities.

"Momoka-nee, after Nina finishes watching the live performance, shall we ask her to join the band?"

"Huh? Didn't you say we should take it slow? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? I think a few more tries would be more effective."

She sat up straight, somewhat puzzled.

"It's something we'll have to bring up eventually. It's best to do it today in this atmosphere, and also give her some time to think about it."

"Okay, fine, it's your decision. After all, you're the one who came up with the whole plan."

She waved her hand, ready to wash her hands of the matter; after all, Chen must have his reasons for doing this.

She also pricked up her ears to listen to how Chen and the End Band came to be. She already knew pretty much about Miss Ai Yin's situation, and now she wanted to see what magic the End Band possessed that could make Chen refuse her invitation to join.
