How can my simulation be a real love?

While humming a little tune with pleasure, she skillfully connected the overdrive and distortion effects to the speakers.

His cat-like curious eyes casually glanced at the music score of "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", and he quickly wrote down the rhythm and fingering on the score. His fingers casually played a series of chords on the fretboard to warm up, and then he chuckled with satisfaction.

Feng Jianming gently stroked his keyboard "Elizabeth" with both hands. At that moment, it seemed as if a stimulating electric current flowed into his arms along the keys. He had a complete affinity for the keyboard in front of him, as if he could play all the keys with his eyes closed.

Why do I feel like I have an inexplicable sense of touch today?

But before he could react, Le Nai's guitar was already roaring and blaring the prelude melody...

Feng Jianming immediately followed her rhythm without hesitation, allowing the soft and crisp keyboard sounds to gradually blend with the long and roaring guitar sounds. The keyboard in his hands seemed different from before, and the playing became very smooth, easy and pleasant.

Five slender fingers quickly moved across the snow-white piano keys. A series of legato notes and high-speed alternating plucking of the guitar set off the climax of the whole song. The high-speed rhythm like a continuous sprint made the melody continue to echo in this small bedroom.

Kaname Lena's eyes gradually widened, and there seemed to be excitement hidden in her eyes.

She held the old guitar in her arms, her thoughts completely immersed in the ocean of music.

Maomao, who has relaxed at this moment, seems to have returned to a night many years ago. Her grandmother, who was gray-haired but still strong, was beside her. With a serious face, she taught her every fingering of the guitar very gently and carefully.

It is a kind of joy and warmth that comes from the bottom of my heart.

Maybe, just like now.

……

The next day, early morning.

Next to her was a Roland keyboard 'Elizabeth' placed randomly, with an old ESP-Potbelly leaning quietly against the keyboard. There were also some messy snack bags and messy music scores scattered on the ground.

“…It’s so heavy.”

The alarm clock next to my ear buzzed.

Feng Jianming rubbed his temples with a headache. He didn't know if it was because he got caught in the rain last night and didn't take a shower in time, but when he got up this morning, he felt inexplicably weak all over.

I also feel my body is particularly heavy.

"wrong."

Feng Jianming, who vaguely sensed the problem, turned his head suddenly.

The cat that was supposed to be sleeping in his bedroom was now drooling and curled up in his arms. The already narrow sofa seemed even more crowded at this moment. The softness and faint fragrance coming from beside him began to stimulate his senses, making him take a deep breath slowly.

"Calm down, it's probably just an illusion."

Feng Jianming slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them again.

Most of Mao Mao's body was pressed tightly against him, and the heavy pressure seemed to tell him that everything before his eyes was not an illusion.

Feng Jianming's phone started buzzing and he immediately turned it on.

[Ijichi Nikka: @All members, it seems to have started raining outside. It seems that the route has been changed to avoid the typhoon in Tokyo. Everyone must be careful on the way here! ]

【KitaKita: We are already on the way! 】

Feng Jianming, who saw the news, quickly glanced towards the window and saw that it was raining heavily at an inopportune time. It looked like the rainfall would become even more exaggerated after the typhoon arrived, so he immediately prepared to get up.

"Well?"

As if the 'pillow' had disappeared, Le Na rubbed her sleepy eyes and drowsily made a cat-like stretching motion. She seemed to notice that Feng Jianming quickly started to tidy up his keyboard, and she gradually became more awake.

"Live?"

"Yes, but it rained heavily today."

Feng Jianming quickly put the keyboard into the instrument bag and took another look at the Line message.

It seems that the heavy rain that suddenly started yesterday was a precursor to a typhoon. The typhoon suddenly changed its route and made the entire Shimokitazawa area look like Tobirama Senju used the waterfall technique. The rain poured down like it was free.

"Le Nai, you're not going to STARRY today, right?"

"Go."

Le Na shook her head slightly, and it seemed that she wanted to see Feng Jianming's performance more than the typhoon.

However, she definitely couldn't bring her guitar and effects pedals on this trip, so Lenai decided to leave all her "equipment" at home for the time being. It was a rare occasion for her to go out without any musical instruments, but her light body made Feng Jianming very worried that she would be blown away by the typhoon.

"There's really nothing I can do to you..."

Feng Jianming slowly put the keyboard on his back. The dozens of pounds of weight added to his body instantly made him feel safe.

No matter what, there is no way he will be absent from the band's final live performance.

……

It took almost two hours to get to STARRY, but when he arrived, he was partially soaked. Mao Mao's outfit of a white shirt and a black fur coat was also a little wet, so Feng Jianming's hair dryer worked overtime yesterday in vain.

"Ming, Ming-san! Wipe the water off your body..."

Pochi, who had arrived early, timidly handed him a clean white towel.

"Thank you, Pochi~"

Feng Jianming turned his head and saw that there seemed to be no audience member in the entire STARRY.

Although Pochi and Hongxia told themselves on Line that they had made a lot of sunny dolls, it seems that the effect of sunny dolls is limited. It would be more appropriate to go into the water and look for the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea at this time.

It can be seen that Pochi seems to be very lost and uneasy. Her fingers have been gently pinching the hem of her skirt. She is too nervous and has her head down, unable to lift it up.

Perhaps because of the typhoon, Bochi's family was unable to come and watch the performance.

From this point of view, even if people have bought tickets, they probably won't come here on purpose, especially when they are the last band or the first band to go on stage as the 'warm-up' band. By then, you can't imagine what will happen.

Seeing her like this, Ijichi Hongxia raised the corner of her mouth and gently encouraged her.

"Pochi-chan, it's okay! There are still many bands performing today, right? There will definitely be some fans and guests from other bands coming. We have done everything we can, and all that's left is to work hard to complete the remaining performances."

Feng Jianming asked the gloomy Ijichi Xingge to take care of the cat for a while, while he comforted Nijika and Pochi at the same time: "I probably sold about 20 tickets. There must be some people who came to see our performance."

It’s really unlucky to encounter such a thing in my first Live.

However, if you want to continue as a band, you must go through hardships.

At least with the great Hongxia mother here, Feng Jianming doesn't have to worry about everyone falling into a state of despair.

"Hongxia, come on."

"Ah? Um..."

Ijichi Hongxia, who had a cheerful and energetic expression just now, became a little timid the moment she heard Feng Jianming talking to her. A hint of panic flashed in her beautiful crimson eyes as bright as gems, and the tips of her fair ears seemed to be stained with a hint of crimson.

She was so panicked!

Unlike Pochi, the reason for her panic was not because she was worried about Live.

Although she encountered such bad luck during her debut performance, Hong Xia didn't care too much about it. She believed that even if the final debut performance failed, she had the confidence to encourage everyone to cheer up and try again!

Ijichi Kouka, who was very well informed about this, became a little flustered the moment she saw Feng Jianming.

Although she knew that those messy 'dreams' before were just dreams, she couldn't help but think of some blushing and heart-pounding scenes when she saw him. She thought it was because of shyness.

But not only did my heartbeat speed up, but my entire head seemed to be burning.

Do you have such a dream? Does it mean that in your heart...

"Hongxia?"

Feng Jianming noticed that Hong Xia Ma seemed a little strange today, and immediately looked at her current condition with some concern.

"Eh!? I, I'm fine! I was just wondering why Ryo and Kita-chan haven't arrived yet..."

Ijichi Hongxia waved her hands repeatedly, and instantly adjusted her mentality and returned to her original state.

She was almost discovered by Ming Sang. She absolutely could not let anyone know such a shameful thing!

Chapter 5 I'll Cover the Bottom [k]

It was still raining heavily outside STARRY, and the rain was getting heavier as time went by.

In this hot summer, the rain always falls suddenly. In just the time of waiting, the whole sky is already covered with layers of inky black clouds, just like the "Summer Rain" painted by Feng Jianming, which is full of thick ink and complex heavy colors.

The pouring rain seemed to have enveloped the entire Shimokitazawa in a humid mist.

"Wow! It's raining so hard..."

Miss Kita rushed into STARRY from outside and couldn't help but complain.

She even changed into waterproof sneakers before going out today, but her pair of white socks were still wet by the rain. The sticky feeling made her frown uncomfortably.

Following behind her was Miss Yamada, whose mood did not change much. From their slightly wet skirts and water-stained shoes, it could be seen that it was not easy for them to get here.

As soon as Kita walked into the store, he subconsciously looked around.

"There don't seem to be many customers today, and my friends all said they can't come..."

When she saw that there were few guests in the entire LiveHouse, she became even more depressed.

Kita was in a depressed mood until he saw Feng Jianming not far away. His feeling of loss and anxiety was slightly relieved. It seemed that he could feel much more at ease as long as he saw Ming-san.

I don’t know why, but Kita Ikuyo suddenly missed him very much yesterday.

The memories of the past 'dream' seemed to come back to her mind, which made her depressed for a long time. She even had no appetite for food and even had a slight insomnia yesterday...

But after seeing Ming again today, my mood immediately improved.

Of course, it would be better if you could hug a little and absorb some energy!

"Hey, that kid..."

Kita Ikuyo suddenly noticed Ijichi Hoshika in the corner, who was chatting with a girl.

The girl had short hair as white as snow, and her appearance was as delicate and cute as a cat. She was holding a cup of turquoise matcha parfait in her hand, sipping it slowly.

The expression of enjoyment on her little face would simply grab people's attention.

This kid, actually came to LiveHouse so early in this weather?

"You've worked hard, wipe yourself off quickly."

Feng Jianming came up and handed a towel to Kita Ikuyo, and this action made her eyes light up instantly.

But the expressionless Yamada Ryo seemed to be one step faster. She moved closer to Kita with a very clever move and took over this "important" position almost under her nose.

Kita Ikuyo, who was overjoyed just now, instantly turned into a pitiful and bitter face.

"The air is too stuffy. I feel a little sleepy."

Yamada Ryo wiped his hands with a white towel as if nothing had happened, but did not choose to take it directly.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Feng Jianming expressionlessly.

A strange light seemed to flash in her calm light-gold eyes. She slowly lifted a strand of hair beside her ear, gently revealing the snow-white earlobe hidden under the azure hair. Light beads of sweat mixed with rain appeared on her tender neck.

Yamada Ryo's mouth corners slightly raised, and he spoke slowly with a somewhat casual tone -

"Ming, help me wipe it."

Where to wipe? Depending on the location, you may need to think carefully.

Feng Jianming almost went up to help with the towel in his hand, but he suddenly felt several piercing gazes coming from all around him. The chill on his back made him stop subconsciously.

Turning around, he seemed unable to find the source of these gazes.

"Liang, stop bothering Ming-san all the time!"

For some reason, Ichichi Hongxia felt a little nervous instinctively.

She took the initiative to move over and stopped Miss Liang's overly intimate behavior. She took the snow-white towel in her hand and helped wipe the water droplets off Miss Liang's head instead of Feng Jianming.

Eh?

"Hongxia is unexpectedly gentle today. Something is wrong."

Yamada Ryo stared at Ichichi Kouka in front of him with some suspicion.

She just said this casually, but the blonde girl who was wiping her hair trembled. Kita Ikuyo beside her blinked in surprise and said casually: "I think Hongxia-senpai is the same as before."

"Different."

Yamada Ryo responded expressionlessly.

Those pale golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything were now staring intently at the expression on Hong Xia's face that was gradually becoming stiff.

"If it was any other time, Hong Xia would definitely throw the towel at my face and tell me to wipe it myself, but today she was so gentle and took the initiative to help me wipe my face. It's very strange."

"I wouldn't normally do this!" Ichichi Hongxia complained with a slightly red face.
