After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

"No way... Do you know how busy I am? The activities at Sumi still need to continue, and tomorrow I have to continue pushing forward the public relations for the incident at Hatsuka tonight. It's already very kind of me to be able to take some time out of my busy schedule to invite Wakaba Mutsu."

Sakura Sakura's words were filled with a sense of collapse, even though her current workload was not yet at all saturated.

But as a seasoned professional, she knew that if you didn't speak up, your workload would only increase.

"There's nothing I can do, I have to go to class. If I could, I would love to help Miss Sakura, but unfortunately I'm a good student, and unless there's a special performance that would get me a leave slip from the teacher, I can't skip class."

Sakura Sakura heard a hint of helplessness in Momoko Kurosawa's words.

She rolled her eyes slightly, not entirely convinced by Peach's explanation.

While Momoko's explanation might be sufficient for most people, it is clearly not enough for Sakura Sakura, who knows Momoko well.

She clearly remembered that when she first met Taozi, Taozi not only asked her out during the time when she should have been at school.

Seeing that she couldn't escape her work, she seemed resigned and asked Peach, "So, how many more people do I need to contact and invite? What are the methods for doing so?"

In fact, Sakura Sakura, as a top-notch producer, has her own procedures when inviting others to join band projects.

Generally, she would first gather information about the other person, then deduce their preferences, and then address the issue accordingly.

But ever since Momoko proposed this project, she has discovered that even though the other party spends most of their time at school, they are able to easily learn about the girls from these different schools and develop targeted invitation plans.

Its effect was even better than the plan she proposed, and over time she began to follow the other party's plan.

After all, if working a regular job can slack off, why would anyone want to do things themselves?

"I've sent you the list of people. Please invite them as soon as possible. As for how to contact them..."

At this point, Peach hesitated for a moment. In the script provided by Giraffe, the two key characters named Yutenji Nyanmu and Hachiman Kairin had very little information.

Even she couldn't deduce from such limited information what Xiangzi had used to invite them, not to mention that the current plot had completely gone off the rails with her and Yue's involvement.

"As for Miss Yutenji, if we just tell her that she can become famous, we can probably invite her over. As for Miss Hailing, she's looking for... a place to settle down?"

Sakura Sakura keenly sensed the uncertainty in Momoko Kurosawa's words, which aroused a sense of curiosity and teasing in her.

She quipped casually, "Oh, it's rare to see Ms. Kurosawa looking a little uncertain. I thought you were someone who could arrange everything perfectly at school."

Her tone carried a hint of humor and playfulness, as if she were using a joke to defuse the awkward atmosphere.

When Momoko Kurosawa heard Sakura Sakura's teasing, a blush involuntarily rose on her face, clearly embarrassed by the joke.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "Nonsense..." before hanging up the phone.

As Sakura listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

She shook her head, thinking to herself.

"Although he often acts very mature, he is still a child after all, and he has this adorable side."

Sakura Sakura couldn't help but sigh. Although she had found it annoying that the other person was asking her to do something so late at night, she found the other person quite adorable after hearing their shy demeanor on the phone.

On the other side, inside the Seisho Starlight Hall dormitory, Yuri Saki Aoi opened the door and walked in while drying her hair.

Just then, she saw Momoko Kurosawa hang up the phone and noticed the blush on her face.

She asked curiously, "Did Peach talk to anyone on the phone just now? Why is her face so red?"

"Huh? Is there?"

Peach quickly looked at the dressing mirror on the table and realized that she was indeed blushing a little.

"I guess I was a little hot after taking a shower."

As Aoi listened to Momo's clumsy lie, she silently sighed in her heart.

"I was just suspicious a moment ago... but now you're looking in the mirror, aren't you just admitting it? Little Peach is still so innocent and down-to-earth offstage..."

When the performance begins: Chapter Ninety-Four: Sharing a Bed

Yue and Lixi had just shared a sumptuous dinner, and now Yue was lazily lying on the sofa in the living room, reading a novel called "Norwegian Wood" in her hand, but her gaze seemed somewhat unfocused.

Her thoughts had already drifted to tomorrow, and she unconsciously began to plan her next move.

The living room was softly lit, and the wall clock ticked, making the whole room feel exceptionally peaceful.

The sofa beneath her was soft and comfortable, and she curled up slightly, appearing exceptionally relaxed.

On the coffee table next to it were freshly cut fruit and a cup of coffee that had cooled down a bit, with a faint aroma of coffee filling the air.

Lixi was taking a shower in the bathroom at that moment, and the water was flowing softly, but because the house was well soundproofed, Yue didn't hear anything.

Even so, she could still clearly imagine Lixi relaxing in the warm water. Lixi's long hair was wet, clinging to her neck and shoulders, water droplets sliding down her hair, reflecting the bathroom light like twinkling starlight.

Thinking of this, a slight blush rose on Yue's face. She unconsciously patted her face gently with the back of her hand, trying to clear her mind. However, her heartbeat became even more rapid because of this slightly ambiguous thought, and a series of subtle feelings surged in her chest.

"Calm down... Yue, you're both girls, and you've already been completely naked in the hot spring, there's no need to be so agitated..."

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress these thoughts, but for some reason, Lixi's image lingered in her mind.

She picked up the novel that was placed aside, trying to distract herself by reading, but the words seemed to be tinged with a hint of ambiguity, making it even harder for her to concentrate.

While Yue was still immersed in her complicated thoughts, she suddenly heard the bathroom door open.

She looked up and saw Shiina Ritsuki walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. The heat from the bathroom rose with Ritsuki, making her figure appear and disappear in the light steam.

Shiina Riki's long, jet-black hair cascaded wetly over her body, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks. A bath towel was tightly wrapped around her, outlining her slender waist and elegant curves. Her skin, flushed slightly from the steam of the hot water, looked smooth and delicate.

Lixi walked into the living room and smiled at Yue, "You're all done washing up, Yue, would you like to take a shower too?"

The blush from earlier still lingered on Yue's face. Seeing Li Xi's appearance, she couldn't help but feel her heart race again, and she tried her best to make her words sound natural.

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

She slowly sat up from the sofa, but her eyes still involuntarily followed Lixi's figure.

Lixi walked to the sofa, bent down, and picked up her phone from the coffee table.

This simple action allowed Yue to see more clearly Li hope's delicate skin and the faint outline beneath the bath towel.

She quickly looked away, stood up, and hurried towards the bathroom, as if that would help her escape the restlessness in her heart.

Stepping into the bathroom, Yue took a deep breath, feeling the warm steam wash over her.

She closed the door, leaned against it, her heart still pounding. She muttered to herself, "Calm down. We've already soaked in the hot springs together, and besides, Yue, you don't even like girls. It's nothing... it's nothing..."

Yue stood in the bathroom, letting the warm water flow over her body. Fine water droplets slid down her hair and finally gathered on the tiles at her feet.

She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the flowing water, trying to let it dispel the restlessness and complex emotions in her heart.

However, no matter how hard she tried, Li hope's image remained vivid in her mind.

Lixi's wet long hair, her slender body wrapped in a bath towel, and her slightly flushed cheeks—vivid images replayed repeatedly in her mind.

Yue couldn't help but blush again, and she bit her lip, trying to calm herself down.

"What on earth is going on... It can't be... right..." Yue murmured to herself, her voice sounding exceptionally soft in the bathroom.

She took a deep breath, banished those thoughts from her mind, turned off the tap, picked up a towel, and began to wipe the water droplets off her body.

She looked at herself in the mirror, the blush on her face not yet completely gone. She changed into clean clothes and walked back to the living room. Lixi was already sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone with a furrowed brow.

Li hope looked up and saw Yue walking over. She asked, "Yue... is your face a little red? Was the water too hot just now?"

Yue was startled, her heart pounding instantly. She unconsciously touched her face, feeling the heat on her cheeks, and tried to appear natural.

"Ah, maybe... a little water will do the trick..."

After Yue finished speaking, she picked up the coffee on the table, which had already cooled down, and drank it all in one gulp. The tingling sensation of the cold coffee sliding down her throat and into her stomach made the blush on her face fade a little.

"Drinking coffee so late at night...aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep?"

Li hope watched Yue's actions and complained, completely unaware that she was the one who often stayed up late drinking coffee at night.

"It's okay... I sleep very well, I should be able to fall asleep whenever I want to..."

Yue took a deep breath and tried to relax.

She glanced at Lixi's phone screen out of the corner of her eye, trying to distract herself, and then asked, "What news are you looking at on your phone, Lixi?"

Lixi looked up, smiled in surprise, "Ah... just now it seems... inside the Ring, Chuhua also came to watch our performance..."

As she spoke, she handed her phone to Yue, where a news article was displayed on the screen.

The news article contained a photograph in which a blonde woman tightly embraced a girl with light blue hair.

Lixi pointed at the screen and said, "This... seems to be near Ring?"

Yue took Riki's phone and carefully examined the details in the photo. The blonde girl with short hair was clearly Sumimi's famous idol, Mitsumi Hatsuka.

Her signature blonde hair shone brightly in the photos, and although the face of the girl with light blue hair whom she was hugging was not captured, Yue could almost identify her based on her clothes and hairstyle.

"This is probably Toyokawa Shoko... right?" Yue said softly, her gaze still fixed on the phone screen.

She recognized Toyokawa Shoko's distinctive dress and her long, flowing, light blue hair.

Li hope nodded, "Yes, I think so too. I really didn't expect them to come to our performance together."

If it were that Toyokawa Shoko came back to watch their performance, Riki would still find it somewhat understandable.

But Shiina Tatsuki never expected that Mitsumi Hatsuka would also come to see their performance.

Although they were classmates, Lixi and Chuhua didn't actually interact much, and their interactions were limited to greetings between classmates.

As Sumimi's famous idol, Hatsuka actually took the time to watch their performance. No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be because of her, a classmate with whom she only has a nodding acquaintance.

Connecting this to the photos that had already caused a sensation on Twitter and been discussed by countless people, Shiina Tatsuki had a guess: the other party had come specifically for Toyokawa Shoko.

However, Li hope couldn't figure out what kind of relationship existed between the two.

Compared to Shiina Tatsuki, who lacks some information, Hinasaki, who knows some inside stories, is able to roughly guess the cause and effect of A (one) [2 淋彡迩零泣8斯〥罢〥].

Although she was completely focused on her performance, as a keyboardist, she still had some spare time to pay attention to the audience compared to the drummer, Shiina Tatsuki, who was sitting in the back.

When Xiaodeng began singing "Spring Shadows," Yue noticed some commotion in the audience below the stage.

Her fingers were still flying across the keyboard, the melody flowing smoothly and beautifully, but her attention was partially diverted to the audience, when she saw what appeared to be two figures running out of the concert hall.

The two figures ran out of the performance hall one after the other. Yue couldn't see their faces clearly from the stage, and at that moment, she couldn't think too much about it and could only continue to focus on the performance.

Looking back now, Yue is almost certain that the two people were Toyokawa Shoko and Mikami Hatsuka.

The photo of Hatsuka Misaki has gone viral on Twitter. The image on the screen is particularly eye-catching. Hatsuka's short golden hair shines under the lens, and she is tightly hugging Toyokawa Shoko. The intimate scene between the two has become a hot topic of discussion.

Yue silently prayed for Sakura Sakura's hair. As Sumimi's manager, Sakura Sakura had to deal with this sudden attention and the media frenzy.
