The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

The backstage of the store is generally used as a recording studio rented to various bands for practice.

An Yan and Irena sat together. They stood there with their mouths wide open for a long time, but they couldn't close it... Because now she finally knew that the two of them were not brothers and sisters, but——

"——Lovers who eloped together?!"

"No, they are just ordinary companions." Irena waved her hands to deny this strange conjecture, and added: "At most, they are like-minded."

"That, that is... Xiao Ai doesn't have leukemia. His real name is Irena? In fact, Ye has no parents. Both of his parents are dead... He is the young master of the Fourth Palace Conglomerate?! His real name is An Yan?!"

"Leukemia? What kind of setting is this? And both parents are dead?" Hong Xia narrowed her eyes unconsciously, causing Irena to silently turn her head away from her eyes. She quickly reached out to An Yan and said, "——This It was a setting he added and has nothing to do with me."

"...I just think that adding this setting to the probability of success will be better, and I think Du is a good person, such a cute and good person, he will definitely not care about this white lie, right?"

"Yeah, really? I'm so cute~so good?" After just a simple encouragement, Dudu's whole body softened and he smiled broadly: "Yeah~! It's okay~ I don't care~!"

"Don't deceive others like this, okay! The same goes for Pochi-chan! Don't be easily deceived at this time!"

"Boqi?" Noticing the strange title, An Yan looked at Hong Xia unconsciously: "You've just formed a band and you're starting to bully me? I didn't realize that you're more extreme than us."

"How is that possible! This is Liangqi's nickname...Although I think it's a bit strange, Pochi seems to be very satisfied...You have no right to accuse others of bullying!"

"Is that so?" An Yan nodded nonchalantly, then leaned against the wall, folded his arms and thought for a while, then explained as sincerely as possible: "Hongxia, I think you may have misunderstood a lot. In fact, I don't have you." Thinking so bad.”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Hongxia on the steps couldn't help leaning forward with her hands on her hips and staring at him: "We just discovered another fraud case, and now the victim is still nearby, and you are doing it in front of the victim. What are you talking about?"

"...Put this aside for now." He performed the non-physical performance without changing his expression, and then said seriously: "Actually, I didn't kidnap Irena at the beginning, we just ran away from home in these years. He’s just a companion, and he doesn’t do anything strange. At most, he occasionally works as a fortune teller to make some money.”

"——This way of making money is weird enough!"

"Put this aside as well."

"It's too much!"

"Don't worry about it, just put this aside."

"You can't help but care! Don't put it aside! Explain it quickly!"

.......

Although she couldn't help but complain about An Yan, Hongxia listened carefully to his and Irena's explanation this time.

Of course, An Yan actually said more, and Irena nodded in agreement.

It was also through careful listening that Hongxia finally understood that Irena, who had been vague about her whereabouts before, was actually a companion who ran away from home with An Yan.

There is no abduction problem, but An Yan, who ran away from home, smiled and said something misleading when comforting Irena who was crying because of her mother's death - let me take you away.

"Well, so romantic!" (What is this!? So handsome?! Ye... No, An Yan has been so romantic since she was a child! So envious~!) After listening to all this alone, envy and confusion could not help but appear on his face. A look of longing.

Although it happened many years ago, it was her sister who was abducted so easily. Normal people would not accept it well. Therefore, Hong Xia had a complicated look on her face and couldn't help but stare at him and said angrily: "... ..You are so good at lying to girls at such a young age?”

Irena, who had a forced smile on her face, nodded in agreement with An Yan's statement, inadvertently stepped on his toes, and complained in a low voice: "You must say that... is that what? "

Although her feet were still hurting, An Yan tried her best to ignore Irena, looked at Hong Xia with a smile, and explained: "Don't tell me whether to lie or not, I just want to escape from this sad place with my friends. "

"A sad place...?" Hongxia's face looked a little gloomy when she heard this.

Recalling the past when she hid at home and refused to go out, she couldn't understand why An Yan and Irena, who also lost their mothers, wanted to escape Tokyo.

Irena's expression was complicated and she stepped harder. She glared at An Yan helplessly and whispered, "...My mother is obviously alive and well, why should I accompany you in such a scene?" "

"Don't worry about it, and if you can, please show your respect."

"No, I'm very unhappy now." Irena refused cruelly with a smile without thinking, making his face look a little melancholy: "Then don't take it out on me..."

"It's your fault, and I was just thinking about that bottle of coke. Why did you get involved in something weird like this? I haven't even finished the movie yet!"

"Then I'm really sorry..."

"And where's the money! Where's the promised money! Have you ever thought about working hard?"

"I'm actively considering this..."

.......

Facing the girl who owed a lot to her, An Yan couldn't hold her head up for a moment, so she could only try to cope with it with a smile.

It's just that the two of them were whispering, which made Hongxia look a little unhappy: "Your relationship is so good! Even though I, my sister, are in front of you, you are still whispering. Is there anything I can't listen to? ?”

"How could it be...Actually, I'm asking Irena for advice on how to make you forgive me."

"That kind of thing...how would I know!"

When it was clear that the matter was over and Irena had proved that he was not lying, although Hongxia's mood was still a little complicated, she just turned away in embarrassment.

This made him understand that the other party should basically not blame him. While he was surprised that he could forgive so easily, he couldn't help but take the opportunity to suggest: "Well, how about we have a few drinks and get drunk to relieve all the worries?"

"A drink can solve a thousand worries?" The strange statement made Hong Xia's face suddenly change, and she looked over again suspiciously: "...don't you just want to cheat the bar?"

"How come~"

"I said... you are still a student! Can't you do something that students should do? For example, study hard? You play around all day long, and your grades will definitely..."

"My grades are number one in my year, and I always get perfect scores. By the way, I'm also the student council president."

Before Hongxia finished speaking, An Yan reported her grades in school with a confident smile.

The scene became quiet for a moment, and it took a long time before Hongxia said in doubt: "How can you become the student council president like this? Skip classes every day?"

"You may have misunderstood me. I not only relied on my grades to gather the fear and respect of the students in the school, but also relied on the popularity I accumulated in my daily life, so I was lucky enough to be the student council president."

"Okay, so awesome! Is An Yan a genius?" Du, who was not good at learning, looked in awe when he heard what he said.

However, Hongxia stretched out her hand to block Du, and asked doubtfully: "Is what you said this time true?"

"Look at this." He pointed at the golden chain on his chest: "If you don't believe it, you can Google it. This is a pure gold jewelry passed down from generation to generation by the presidents of Shuchiin's student council. It represents the 200-year history of Shuchiin. There’s weight and honor.”

"...Is it true? This thing turns out to be pure gold?" Irena, who was originally indifferent to the topic of study, immediately rushed over, stared at the chain on his chest, her eyes lit up and said, "This It should be worth a lot of money if you sell it, right?"

"Of course, it is pure gold after all."

"Then sell it quickly and pay me back!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This represents the honor of Shuchiin! As the student council president, how could I do something that tramples on the reputation of the school!?"

"Hey~ Is that so?" Irena first had an expression of admiration on her face, but then she changed the subject, as if I still don't understand you, and said bluntly: "Then, what is the truth?"

"...If I sell it, I probably won't be able to return home." Although he was a little depressed about his distrust of Irena, he still told the truth in a low voice with a little depression.

If Kaguya hadn't gone berserk after selling it, he would have wanted to sell it directly to get some money for his own emergency.

"It's true... I'm just telling you, how can a person like you care about that kind of thing." Irena was not surprised, casually revealing his personality, but her eyes were still fixed on the gold, almost The word "drool-worthy" is written on his face.

But after a while, the two girls next to them who were really holding their mobile phones and searching for information about the Shuchiin Student Council President all raised their heads with surprised expressions.

Seeing his expression, Hong Xia gradually became a little strange: "Are you unexpectedly smart?"

"Accidents are redundant."

"....Then? What are you doing here?"

"Drink." He answered without hesitation. Hongxia pointed to the door without even thinking, "Go back."

"Don't be so stingy. Aren't we friends? It's okay to buy me a drink, right?"

"What if the business license is revoked?! And...you just said please??"

"We are friends, right? You and your friends still charge money?"

An Yan followed Irena's example and forced her into the relationship with a serious look. Unfortunately, Hongxia didn't give any face to her and directly waved her hand and said: "No, we are actually not familiar with each other, right?"

"How could it be? Don't you think about it, we have actually experienced a lot together, right? For example, eating together, chatting together, and lying on the floor together."

"——The last one was pushed down by you, right?"

"Don't worry about this."

"You are obviously a rich man, at least give me money!"

"There is no way. I really have a cleaner pocket than my face. And since you don't deny that we are friends? Can you lend me some? Then I can pay. I don't want much, just beer money and car fare. That's fine." He stretched out his hand unceremoniously and asked for money with a natural smile. This made Hong Xia unable to hold back and slapped his hand, trying to knock it off: "Don't even think about it! You don't do this! It means you don’t plan to spend a penny... Huh?"

Before Hongxia finished speaking, she noticed that the hand she clapped was being held by An Yan. When she raised her head blankly, she met An Yan's smiling gaze.

"This is how we shake hands and make peace!"

"Is this your purpose?!" Hongxia, who realized that he was deliberately inducing her to hit him, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and instinctively complained: "How can there be such a handshake and peace?"

Chapter 41 The sister-like mother of Hongxia, Kaguya, turns on the rampage mode? 4.5K

An Yan seemed to be indifferent to being complained about, and just shook his head and said: "It would be good if there is a formality for shaking hands and making peace. Let the past go by now, right?"

"Before I talk about these things..." The hand that was held did not let go for a long time, and the other party had no intention of letting go, and could not even pull it out. Hongxia's cheeks turned crimson over time, and she couldn't help but feel She pursed her lips and stared at him: "How long are you going to hold my hand? Are you being a gangster? Or are you a pervert?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't you reach this out yourself?" An Yan's face was full of innocence, but even though he said so, he still let go of his hand.

This actually made Hong Xia stop her hand, blush and stare at him with narrowed eyes, doubting: "Do you really not care about distance at all?"

"How is that possible? In fact, I am still very afraid of new things. If possible, can you buy me some beer to calm my fragile nerves?"

"You still want to drink after all!?"

"Ok!"

"——Don't be so quick to answer things like this! If it doesn't work, it won't work! And don't look at me with such expectant eyes! It won't work even if you look at it! Don't even think about it! Underage people are not allowed to drink!"

.....

As a result, Hongxia didn't let go until the end. Not only did she decisively reject his request for wine, she even told him something in return.

However, An Yan only had a relaxed smile and listened to what she said... After all, he was not actually that greedy for drinks, he just wanted to make peace.

Although he didn't know what the effect of getting back together would be, he didn't quite understand how to reconcile quickly - or to seriously talk about reconciliation and getting to know each other again, but he couldn't really say it. Just used this method.

Although the current method is somewhat clumsy, sufficient communication should be considered the first step in improving the relationship, right?

Unfortunately, no one understood this. In order to prevent him from borrowing money from her, Irena took Coke and quickly fled back to her home upstairs.

"...Irena, I always feel like I'm always looking at people through the crack in the door. Obviously I'm not borrowing money all day long. At most, I just want to borrow money for traveling expenses."

Seeing Irena's back running away quickly, An Yan couldn't help but look a little regretful, but Hong Xia couldn't help but sigh: "...You are the student council president of a noble school after all, right? Or the Shinomiya family Why are people so short of money?"

"There is no way. Even though I have become number one in the school and become the student council president, and work hard day and night every day, I still cannot meet my family's expectations."

"Isn't this enough??" Hong Xia looked surprised, but couldn't help complaining at the same time: "If Irena could work half as hard as you, my sister and I would probably wake up laughing in our dreams... Sure enough, there are rich people living there. Isn’t it easy too?”

"That's right, so can you give me some travel expenses now? In order to avoid borrowing money for a while and leaving a bad impression, when I inherit part of the family business in the future, I will give you ten times... No, once A hundredfold return!”

"I don't have any money myself, how can I invest it in you?"

"What? No?" After hearing this, An Yan immediately waved his hand to expel: "It's really useless. You'd better go back quickly."

"Suddenly you fall out?! After all, this is my home! If you want to leave, you should leave on your own!"

"You're kidding~ What are you serious about?" He waved his hand indifferently, turned to look at the blank Du beside him, and said seductively: "Xiao Du is ready to invest? A super high rate of return of a hundred times?"

"Huh? Me? Then..." Du hesitated and took out the money he carried with him from his pocket.

However, before she handed it over, Hong Xia had already held down her hand and glared at him angrily: "Can you please stop cheating money from my band mates in front of me? What are you here to do? ah?"

"I just accompanied Xiaodu to the store to have a look. And I am serious. I will really repay you a hundred times."

"We don't want your money! Since the purpose has been achieved, you can leave now."

"So cold?!"

"Because we don't know each other very well!" She complained like this. She couldn't help but look at Doku beside her, and then looked away silently: "Although I'm not very familiar with Pochi-chan... maybe not yet. You are familiar with it.”

"What if we want to talk about the band?" An Yan had no intention of leaving at all, and casually said: "Maybe I can give you some advice?"

"Really?!" There happened to be a very troublesome question, and Hongxia couldn't help but look him up and down. She felt that she was more worried about whether the audience would be scared of him than he was about stage fright, so she couldn't help but ask: "We happen to be short of a vocalist, how about your singing?"

"Do you want to sing? Sorry, I'm not a bad singer, but I know a guy who can sing really well."

"Can you ask me a question?"

"OK, wait a moment."

It was his good habit to do whatever came to his mind. Without any hesitation, he found Hayasaka Ai's cell phone and called her.

The call was connected after a while, but before he could speak, the gloomy voices on the other side kept coming: "——Do you still know about the call? Do you know how I have been spending these days? ! Don’t plan to come back yet? - Come back quickly! My patience has almost reached its limit! Now! Immediately! Otherwise..."

Before Hayasaka Ai could finish speaking, An Yan quickly pressed the hang-up button, forcibly interrupting the curse-like voice on the other side, and turned to look at the two girls beside her, whose expressions changed from expectant to stiff, and said seriously: "Well ....Just pretend that I didn’t say anything about what I just said.”

"Ah, yes..." Nodding silently in a unique way, Hongxia helped to express what was on her mind, pointing to the phone and asking carefully: "But is it really okay for you to hang up like this...? Will it be troublesome to see you later?"

"Don't worry, I'm used to it."
