In Tokyo, there is a music girl training system

"Hey? It's okay, right? My house's curfew is 8 o'clock, so why don't we practice together before then? Just one hour is fine~ We will practice separately from now on, right? Can I practice with everyone once before then?"

It must be said that as the only sunny and cheerful girl present, no one can avoid it once the Yangjiao Halo is activated. Under Chihaya Aine's encouragement, everyone really returned to Starry's training room.

As soon as she returned to Starry, Chihaya Aine's purpose was exposed.

"Producer-san, Producer-san, the song we just mentioned is the one our band is going to practice next, right? In that case, Producer-san, can you sing it first?"

Sagiba’s singing skills are so good. Unlike the previous song that describes the feelings between family members, this song is also a song written for lovers. Chihaya Aine really wants to listen to it.

"So this is your purpose...Okay, I'll sing it first. Hongxia, Liang, and Bochi, you three can help with the accompaniment, and the rest of you can listen carefully to how this song should be sung..."

Picking up the microphone, Lu Yu took a deep breath.

The most important thing about this song is the helplessness towards the one you love, the feeling of powerlessness when you try your best but still can't do anything.

And Lu Yu is very clear about this feeling...

Because he is now experiencing this kind of powerlessness. Because of the system, he has to leave love and leave Xiangzi.

As the prelude sounded, the deep and melodious voice instantly infected everyone present.

Unlike the previous song which contained a little bit of sadness hidden in the happiness, this time it thoroughly expresses regret and loss.

[When you talk about people you dated in the past]

[When you confess to me.]

[I wasn't listening honestly.]

He didn't want to leave everyone.

But Lu Yu could only do this. He was just a passerby who came from another world. He would leave sooner or later. No one in this world could and should belong to him.

[I like you]

[From now on, I want to hold you in my arms]

[I want to hold you tightly in my arms...]

In fact, this song was written by Lu Yu for himself.

He was telling himself that he could only be the one standing in the corner, watching everything and feeling jealous silently.

Volume 4: Chapter I Like You (K)

"Okay, let's stop here for today."

Looking at the time, it was 19:34, Lu Yu stopped everyone who was practicing.

"It's getting late, everyone should go home early."

The curfew time for Japanese female high school students is usually 8 o'clock in the evening, so he should urge these girls to go home at this time.

"Hi~"

Everyone present responded, and then left Starry one by one after saying goodbye to each other.

"Anon, we should go back too."

"Wait~ Lu Yu, are you free now?"

Suddenly, Soyo called out to Lu Yu who was about to go home with Anon.

"what happened?"

"Mom said she wanted to see you."

"Your mother?"

"Well, she's in a cafe not far away."

"You told your mom about joining my band?"

"said."

"Is that so? Then it would be better for me to meet her. Anon, you go back first. I'll be back soon."

Anon nodded obediently: "Okay~"

She had a lot of fun today, ate delicious food, and practiced happily with everyone. This kind of life is much happier than her previous study abroad period.

"Then I'll go back first. I'll leave the door for you~"

"Thanks."

After saying goodbye to Anon, Lu Yu and Soyo strolled on the street together. This place was not far from the cafe where Nagasaki Soyo's mother was, only about one kilometer away, so the two simply walked over.

"Heron Feather..."

The two of them walked side by side, looking a bit like a pair of siblings or a couple.

"what happened?"

"That song just now..."

"Are you talking about "Yakimochi (Jealous)"? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the song?"

"No." Soyo shook her head. Of course there was nothing wrong with the song, but she saw Lu Yu singing so passionately, so she was very curious about how someone like Lu Yu could write such a song.

"You wrote the song, right? So someone like you can get jealous sometimes?"

Soyo couldn't imagine Lu Yu being jealous of a man who would play with girls as if they were stray cats. However, Lu Yu's expression and feelings when singing were real, and Soyo could tell that Lu Yu was indeed "jealous" when he sang just now.

"Why not? Everyone has someone they like, and I am no exception."

There are many people that Lu Yu likes, including his father, mother, and sister before he traveled through time, Xiangzi and Hoshino Ai after he traveled through time, and everyone around him now.

Of course, there are those who have passed away...

However, what if I like it?

What is not his will never belong to him. For Lu Yu, everything now never belonged to him, and those things that originally belonged to him had actually left him long ago.

He is just a lucky man, but it is impossible for a person to be lucky all his life, so before the luck that does not belong to him leaves him, he must do his best.

"Since you have someone you like, and you clearly understand those feelings, then why do you want to hurt Sakiko? Do you know? Shoko cried for you."

"I know." Lu Yu replied calmly.

Even after the training mission was completed, Lu Yu could still see Xiangzi's personal panel, and he could see how Xiangzi's emotions changed.

"If you know that, then why do you..."

Just when Soyo wanted to say something, Lu Yu suddenly interrupted her: "Soyo, I'll tell you a secret."

"Ugh?"

"Actually, I like Xiangzi. Of course, not only Xiangzi, but also you, Anon, and everyone present here today. I like every one of you."

"Don't be ridiculous. You don't like everyone. You just..."

"No, I really do, I can assure you."

Lu Yu's voice was still calm, but his eyes were full of seriousness at this moment. Soyo was stunned when he noticed Lu Yu's eyes.

People's eyes never lie. She knew that Lu Yu didn't lie, but since he didn't lie, then what about him?

Suddenly, Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the sky which had already darkened. At this time, night had just fallen and the stars were beginning to appear.

"I like you guys."

"So I hope you're surrounded by people."

“So the path you walk on should be filled with people and full of flowers.”

"And I also hope that someday in the future, whenever I think of you, there will be a grand and splendid stage in my heart, with you standing in the center of the stage and me standing in the distance."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on Lu Yu.

She didn't know why, the person in front of her was very close to her, but she couldn't see him clearly when she was standing behind him.

"Why? Why can't we be on stage together?"

Standing in place, Lu Yu turned around and smiled gently at Nagasaki Suyo.

"Where there is shadow, there is light. And to me, you are the light..."

.....

Not long after, the two came to a cafe called [Mist and Rain].

"Soyo~Sabi-kun~this way~"

As they walked into the cafe, they heard Nagasaki's mother's voice.

"Good evening, Aunt Nagasaki."

Walking up to the other person, Lu Yu greeted Soyo's mother.

"Good evening, take a seat."

"Ah."

Soyo sat next to his mother, and Lu Yu sat opposite them.

"Auntie, is there something you want me to come over for?"

"I have something to ask you. Um, Lu Yu-kun, is Soyo forming a band with you now?"

"Yes, Auntie, I did invite Soyo to join a band I recently formed. This is a band formed with the goal of becoming a professional band. The specific aspects..."

Since Soyo's mother came, Sagiha simply repeated to Soyo's mother the same tactics that he had used to convince Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri's family.

"I see. Then Soyo is really taken care of by you."

Soyo's mother didn't have any special opinion about the 200,000 salary. As a strong woman, she just lamented that her daughter could get the salary now.

"But, Lu Yu-kun, according to what you said, you are supporting two bands at the same time, so there won't be any problems with the expenses, right?"

"No, Auntie. My family has given me plenty of funds."

"I see. Soyo told me before that your background is very unusual. Now it seems to be true. In this case, I feel relieved. I will leave Soyo to you. If this child can embark on the path of a professional musician, I can save a lot of worries."

As a divorced single mother, Nagasaki Motoyo's mother now knows very well what a woman needs to gain a foothold in society, so in her eyes, her daughter having a good career is more important than anything else.

"Don't worry, I will manage the band well. Soyo is also very good and her future will be smooth sailing."

"O(∩_∩)O, haha~ Lu Yujun you are really good at talking, okay, I have finished talking, follow me."

After finishing her coffee, Nagasaki Motoyo's mother pressed the pay bell and paid the bill.

"Hmm? Auntie, do you have anything else to say?"

"Of course, Ruyu-kun, you don't think that I called you here just to question you, do you?" Nagasaki Motoyo's mother laughed.

Isn't it? It's late at night. Why did you come to me to ask questions?

"you?"

"I specially asked you to come here today to thank you for helping Soyo before. But it just so happens that Soyo also wants to ask you for help with the band's affairs, so let's come together."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo's mother looked at her daughter who was still in a daze.

"Soyo? Let's go."

"Hey? Mom, have you finished talking to Lu Yu?"

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

"No, nothing. Where are we going now, Mom?"

She was thinking about what Lu Yu had said to her on the way here.

[I like you guys.]

[So I hope you are surrounded by people.]

[So the road you walk on should be crowded with people and full of flowers.]

What exactly did this mean? Nagasaki Suyo didn't understand.

What kind of liking is this?

Also, what does the sentence "They are the light" mean?

She obviously knew Lu Yu well enough, but why did she feel that she didn't understand this person at all now?
