Chapter 199 Splash Lovers
"So why did you ask me to come record the song with you?" Jun Matsueda asked the girl in front of him.

They were the only two people in the corridor. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the left, they could see the TBS building they had visited before, which was about a few blocks away.

"Because I'm getting ready to record that love song."

Lai Qi Yangshi turned around and looked at him, and between them was the flying snow outside the glass corridor.

“I don’t see any causal connection.”

The girl pushed open the door of the room, which was the small reception room of the recording studio. The agent was sitting on the sofa in the corner, holding a can of coffee in her hand.

The woman looked at the two people who walked into the room. She seemed a little dumbfounded. "The magical prop you mentioned that can make you sing better, is that Matsueda-san?"

The magical tool himself sat down at the other end of the sofa and looked at the girl who brought him here.

"That's right!" Kurusu nodded, picked up the coffee on the table and opened it. "I've had a love experience with Matsueda before, so if he's present during the recording, I should be able to feel it more."

"." It sounded like it made some sense, and Jun Matsue didn't bother to refute it.

"You were so happy to take me to the show before, why do you have this expression now when I bring you to the recording studio?" The girl glared at him, "Smile for me!"

The corners of Jun Matsueda's mouth curled up, revealing the kind of smile you often see in toothpaste commercials.

"That's right." Kurusu Yoshi opened the pull ring of the can of coffee with satisfaction. The agent walked to the girl and took the coffee from her hand.

"I've told you so many times, you are not allowed to drink any beverages before recording, only water." The woman placed the coffee in front of Jun Matsueda.

"Matsueda-san, drink it for her."

The cool and mellow liquid flowed into his throat. Jun Matsueda looked at the glass wall of the reception room. It seemed that the recording place was next door. He could see the recording engineer sitting in front of two screens, and the table was full of equipment and computers.

"That's the control room over there. The glass opposite where that uncle is sitting is where I'll be singing later."

The girl sat down next to him. Matsueda Jun looked into the distance and saw a woman wearing headphones standing in front of the microphone. She closed her eyes and shook her body, her lips moving, apparently she was recording a song.

"Songzhi, let me tell you, that microphone is super expensive. You absolutely cannot touch it!"

While they waited, the girl followed him back to the corridor. There was a bar counter and high chairs in front of the French windows. Matsueda Jun looked out at the heavy snow covering Tokyo and listened to Kurusu Yoshi whisper in his ear.

"The uncle told me to stand in front of the microphone when I entered the recording studio and not do anything else." For the lively girl, this was also a torture. "I couldn't even touch the wall!"

"Because the walls are made of special acoustic materials, it would be troublesome if you touch them carelessly and damage them." The agent walked out of the reception room and said, "They've finished recording. Yang Shi, please go in."

"See you later~" The girl waved at him and walked towards the recording studio.

"The sound engineer needs to take a break for a few minutes. We'll go in later." The woman sat next to Matsueda Jun and watched him finish the rest of his coffee.

More and more snowflakes fell on the glass in front of the two people, and the originally transparent scenery gradually became blurred.

"Matsueda-kun." The agent's tone suddenly became familiar, "It's not allowed to date minors in the Yang world now."

"If we're discovered, we're doomed."

"So if she confesses to you or something, don't accept it."

The woman's tone was a little humble. She was not afraid that the boy in front of her had any ambiguous thoughts, but she was afraid that her own artist would harm a high school student with a bright future.

Matsueda Jun laughed, "Kurisu is determined to be an idol, how could she do something like this?"

"Singing a love song is so troublesome. Falling in love is a bit too far for her."

"I hope so." The woman sighed. The door to a room not far away opened, and the middle-aged man's voice came from inside.

"You can start recording now."

Jun Matsueda stood behind the middle-aged man, observing the densely packed buttons and sliders on the table. The work software on the computer screen was a bit similar to the one used by Natsumi Imokawa for editing.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" The girl's clear and sweet voice came from the speakers and echoed throughout the control room.

A girl wearing monitoring headphones stood behind the glass and watched them. Matsueda Jun thought of the ornamental animals kept in the viewing boxes.

The man made an OK gesture to indicate that it was okay.

"Where's Songzhi? Songzhi, give me some reaction!"

The agent lady seemed to be ignored by her.

"Can't she hear us?" Jun Matsueda asked the man in front of him.

"I can still hear you now, but I'm just too lazy to speak." The uncle's voice sounded very tired.

"The sound of pine branches sounds so far away~" Kurusu Yoshi smiled at him, "It's like the feeling when anesthesia just ends after surgery."

"When did you have surgery?" Jun Matsue couldn't help but tease, the girl's giggles echoing in the room.

"Okay, the chit-chat time is over, Kurusu-san, are you ready to record?"

"OK!" Lai Qi Yang Shi adjusted his headphones and his expression became serious, but the two little hands twisting in front of the girl still exposed her restless nature.

"Then I'll start the accompaniment. One, two, three—"

Kurusu Yosei spoke. "Summer...is slowly slipping away..."

"The sea we have been gazing at~"

The ethereal and lazy vocals and slow guitar plucking sounded at the same time, bringing the three people in the control room to the summer beach.

"Night Wind~ speaks for us~"

"An unspoken summer love~"

The guitar was played very slowly, just like the first time they met at the beach, even time slowed down.

"I pretended not to know the taste of love beginning~"

"I kept laughing the day we separated~"

The sound of the guitar was a little faster, like a walk on the beach. Lai Qi Yang Shi seemed to be telling a story, but there were pauses from time to time, like the tone of a girlfriend, quirky and weird.

"Bubbles in the cup ~ Cat sleeping in the park ~"

"I will never forget~"

The girl paused a little longer, and the higher pitch appeared together with the drumbeat.

"Looking at your face shining on the waves——"

Kurusu Yoshi's voice became higher and thinner. She looked at Matsueda Jun behind the glass, her eyes full of memories.

“It seems like we will never get tired~”

"Stay still in this summer~"

The singing is sometimes slow and sometimes slow, reproducing the climax and dullness in memory.

"I'll walk with you along the street at dusk every day~"

"Watch the sunset kiss the face of this city~"

"Stay in this moment~"

He looked at the tenderness on the girl's face. Kurusu Yoshi closed his eyes, but Matsueda Jun felt that she was still looking at him.

“Transparent coffee shop on the corner”

"I really want to see you again~"

"That day, the language you hid~"

"I think I heard it all~"

On the beach in Shizuoka, the beach chair that Jun Matsueda wiped is still there, along with the pen marks on the French windows, bearing witness to the traces left by the two.

"I pretended not to know the taste of love beginning~"

"I kept laughing the day we separated~"

"Xia~Tian~has already left~"

"The sea we have been gazing at~"

Kurusu Yoshi looked at the boy in front of him. The song had been recorded. It only took one take, but the recording engineer already thought it was impeccable.

"Well, I said bringing you here would be useful, right?"

The two of them walked on the streets of Akasaka holding umbrellas, and the girl's tone jumped with her steps.

"I'll buy the album when it's released." Jun Matsueda looked at the girl walking in front of him. The three people in the control room were very satisfied with her singing.

"Do you still need to buy it? I'll give it to you before the album comes out, and it'll also come with my autograph!"

"Don't walk so fast, or you might slip." Matsueda Jun sighed and caught up with the jumping girl.

"By the way, did you really pick this song from the production department?"

“I thought you wrote it yourself. Apart from the difference in season, it sounds just like the beach in Shizuoka.”

The park, the coffee shop, and the sunset were all their shared memories of that day.

Kurusu Yoshi turned around in the falling snow, put the umbrella behind him, and smiled at Matsueda Jun.

“Because I changed the lyrics~”

She likes this song very much.

For the girl, it was a complement to the lost summer.

 The song title is the chapter title.
