Chapter 87 Rainbow Summer's Dream
Chapter 87 Rainbow Summer's Dream
night.
A certain izakaya.
The entire band, including Iji Tomoka, Hiroi Kikuri, and Pa-san, gathered here.
After the band finishes, sit in one row, and the adults sit in another row.
Uncharacteristically, Ichi Seika was not arrogant and frankly said, "Everyone worked hard for today's live performance. What would you like to eat? It's on me."
"I like you! Senpai." Kikuto Hiroi excitedly pressed her face against her shoulder.
Ichika pushed her away, saying, "You'll have to pay for your own share."
Hiroi Kikuri: "Eh... Senpai!"
"Then I'll have this avocado cream cheese skewer, and a Spanish omelet with hollandaise sauce."
Kita recited some trendy dish names and took out his phone to take pictures as souvenirs.
Xingge asked, "Where's Boqi?"
After hearing this, Pochi decided to learn from Kita. Today, she was different, and she wanted to be fashionable for once.
"I want a Machu Picchu ruins, the Mississippi River, and the Grand Canyon as a set..."
"Oh, Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu..."
"Which page is it on? Does it even exist?"
Boqi immediately chickened out, "Sorry, I misspoke, I want fries."
"That's way too wrong."
At this time.
Ryo suddenly said to Kita beside him, "By the way, Yuyo. Your guitar playing today was quite good for a beginner."
“Yudai? Who’s that?” Hiroi Kikuri asked.
After hearing this, Bai Qiu also praised Xi Duo, saying, "Yu Dai's last two songs were also sung very well."
Yamada Ryo revealed a triumphant expression.
Kita's smile vanished instantly, even showing signs of breaking down.
She glanced at Bai Qiu in alarm: "Why is Bai Qiu-jun also imitating Senior Liang!"
Bai Qiu answered quickly, seemingly using an excuse she had prepared beforehand.
"Think about it, if I call everyone by their names and only call Yukiyo Kita, wouldn't that be too unfair?"
Kita began talking to himself.
"I don't know anyone by that name."
"Who is 'Ahaha'? Why would someone use such a name?"
“That must be your name.” Ijichi Seika glanced at Kita strangely.
“Oh, so that’s Kita-chan’s name,” Hiroi Kikuri added.
Kita said painfully, "I've been avoiding talking about this all along, haha... I hate this name."
"Um, why? Isn't it quite cute?" Ichiji Hoshika didn't quite understand.
Kita explained sadly, "Someone like the shopkeeper, with a beautiful name like 'Star Song,' would never understand my pain."
"Isn't this name just like a lame joke?"
"When you read it aloud, it means: 'Comed, gone.'"
"So stupid..."
“Aha...hahaha…” Kita grinned like Pochi.
"So this expression is contagious," Pa-san said with a squinting smile.
Kita quickly lay down on the tatami mat, hugged his head, and began to hypnotize himself.
"My name is Kita Kita..."
Yamada Ryo covered her mouth and chuckled: "The low-pitched Kita is quite interesting."
"You really have a terrible personality," said Ichiji Seika, speaking fairly.
While they were playing around.
Hongxia quietly got up, winked at Bai Qiu, and walked outside.
Bai Qiu pondered.
Hongxia suspects that Boqi is a guitar hero.
Later, he excused himself to go to the restroom and left the izakaya.
The streets were a bit deserted, but quiet.
After the heavy rain, the air smelled of earth.
Bai Qiu saw Hong Xia standing not far away.
He walked over.
The bright moonlight and the golden lamplight shone on Hongxia at the same time, and her yellow side ponytail swayed in the evening breeze.
The figure in the background seemed slightly melancholy.
Hearing the noise behind her, Hongxia turned around and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Qiu-jun, you're here."
"I thought you weren't going to come out."
Bai Qiu chuckled lightly, "Of course I have to come out when Hongxia calls me."
He glanced at the Max coffee in Hongxia's hand and asked, "Aren't you worried about not being able to sleep tonight?"
Hongxia shook her head, and her yellow ponytail swayed more vigorously.
"I don't want tonight to end so soon."
"After all, it's a memorable day."
Hongxia smiled warmly and gestured to the vending machine next to her, "Do you have any drinks you'd like?"
Bai Qiu shook her head: "We still have some in the shop."
"It's okay," Hongxia smiled. "My sister treated us at the shop, but now it's my treat."
"After all, Qiu Jun is a great contributor today."
"That's it..."
Bai Qiu looked at the beverage machine, pondered for a moment, and pointed to a beverage with a yellow package.
"Then give me a bottle of mango juice, thank you, Hongxia."
"Okay, please wait."
Seeing Bai Qiu making her selections, Hong Xia felt happy and satisfied.
Next, Hongxia planned to buy mango juice, but encountered an embarrassing problem.
She couldn't find the mango juice option.
Bai Qiu stepped forward, selected her own mango juice, and looked at Hong Xia with a smile.
"All right."
Hongxia blushed, took out a drink, and handed it to Baiqiu.
"Could it be intentional?"
"Nothing like that."
"Really?" Hongxia narrowed her eyes, but quickly smiled again. "I've learned one of Qiu-kun's hobbies."
“Then Hongxia must tell me one of her hobbies as well.”
Hongxia pretended to think, "Then you have to answer one question for me first."
"I don't want to know Hongxia's hobbies for now."
"Is Boqi-chan the guitar hero?"
Hongxia didn't give them a chance and asked directly.
Although Bai Qiu was surprised, she was already prepared.
He said calmly, with a strange look on his face, "Guitar hero? Why would you think that?"
Hongxia stared intently at Bai Qiu with her ruby-like pupils. "Look carefully at me when you answer!"
Bai Qiu returned the gaze.
A blush flashed across Hongxia's face; she was a little shy, but she was determined not to back down.
Bai Qiu pretended to think, "Although Boqi has made great progress, he can't be associated with Guitar Hero, can he?"
"Qiu Jun should know something."
"Oh? Why do you think that?"
"Because Qiu-jun and Bo-qi have always been the closest among us!"
Hongxia explained.
"I'm sorry, I don't know either."
Bai Qiu pretended to be stupid.
Hongxia curled her lip. "They still won't admit it at this point. How cunning."
"Well, if you don't admit it, I'll just go ask Pochi-chan."
Bai Qiu fell silent for a moment.
Hongxia pressed her advantage, saying, "The guitar is exactly the same, and the recent extraordinary playing is just like Guitar Hero."
Bai Qiu sighed softly.
Poch, I've done my best, but this is a dead end.
Hongxia is too perceptive.
Seeing this, Hongxia smiled smugly and said, "Speechless now, aren't you?"
“Yes, Boqi is a guitar hero.” Bai Qiu nodded in agreement, “but she’s afraid of disappointing us, so she doesn’t dare to admit it. She wants to wait until she can consistently perform well before telling everyone.”
Hongxia nodded thoughtfully, "It suits Boqi's personality very well."
"So for now, let's keep Poch's secret."
Bai Qiudao said that he couldn't really hide it for long.
Hongxia nodded.
"What about Qiu Jun? Could it be that he, like Boqi, is hiding some secret from us?"
Hongxia tapped her chin with her index finger, pondered for a moment, and then joked, "Like, keyboard heroes or something?"
"There are no keyboard heroes, are there?"
Bai Qiu's lips curled slightly.
This title reminded him of keyboard warriors.
"really?"
Hongxia took two steps forward, leaned closer, and looked up slightly at Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu nodded.
"However, after today's live performance, I found that my skills have improved again, and I'm probably about the same level as Guitar Hero."
"Huh?" Hongxia looked surprised, then became serious: "Then I need to work harder too!"
Bai Qiu comforted her, "Take your time."
"That won't work."
Hongxia made an X with her hands.
Then, with her hands behind her back, Hongxia turned to the side and looked up at the stars in the sky, and said, "Qiu-jun, let me tell you one of my secrets."
Bai Qiu was initially curious, thinking that Hong Xia would only reveal a simple secret.
did not expect……
"Actually, I didn't like music at all when I was a child, and I even hated it. Because my sister stopped playing with me after she started playing in a band."
"Later...later my mother passed away, and my sister gave up her band to take care of me. At that time, my sister's band was quite famous. My sister also took me to live houses, and that's when I started to like music."
"Starry Night was created by my sister for me."
"But my sister will definitely not admit that."
At this point, Hongxia seemed to think of her proud older sister and couldn't help but laugh.
"So, my dream is to join my sister's band, become a famous band, make Starry Night famous, and attract many, many customers to the store."
Hongxia calmly recounted her childhood stories, while Baiqiu listened quietly.
Listening to it firsthand, one can feel Hongxia's loneliness and confusion.
"Qiu-jun, do you think we can debut?"
Bai Qiu shook his head slightly, and a look of disappointment flashed in Hong Xia's eyes.
Even Qiu Jun doesn't think it's a good idea?
Yes, the band has only been around for a short time. Maybe they're okay among student bands, but there are tons of bands like that in Tokyo.
It's far from the level expected for a debut; it's definitely too much of a stretch.
however.
Bai Qiu said the next second, "It's not just about debuting. We also want to perform at the Budokan, Tokyo Dome, and the Kohaku Uta Gassen."
"Eh?"
Hongxia looked bewildered.
She thought Bai Qiu was playing a trick on her, just like Liang.
Even at this point, I've already said a lot from the bottom of my heart.
Hongxia puffed out her cheeks. "Hmm... I'm asking very seriously."
"I answered very seriously."
Hongxia looked at Baiqiu.
Bai Qiu's expression was calm, but her eyes were bright.
Hongxia paused for a moment.
"Qiu Jun, don't joke around. That's too unrealistic."
"No, it's definitely possible," Bai Qiu corrected, then added, "We'll use money to get it up there."
"You still say you're not joking!"
……
This time, Bai Qiu patted his chest and said, "Haha! Don't worry, as long as we're all together, the band will definitely become famous!"
Hongxia smiled and nodded, "Then I'll believe you!"
Another moment passed.
"Let's go back."
"Ah."
Bai Qiu and Hong Xia turned around and walked back.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of an aluminum can being stepped on came from the trash can in front.
Boqi-chan froze.
Oh no! We've been discovered!
She came out to check on Bai Qiu and Hong Xia, who hadn't returned for so long.
She overheard the two talking about Guitar Hero, and thankfully Bai Qiu helped her explain.
Then it seems I heard a lot of things I shouldn't have heard.
Now you've ruined such a good atmosphere.
Bai Qiu and Hong Xia quickly stepped forward.
Looking at the quirky Pochi-chan who kept muttering that she was guilty, the two smiled at each other.
Bai Qiu flicked Boqi's forehead: "Boqi-chan, it's time to get back to reality."
……
The day has come to a close.
