Lonely Rock: Love Songs Dedicated to the Stars

They are both photography students at the University of the Arts. After seeing their work, Yuzhen felt that their professionalism was indeed sufficient.

"Amazing!" Yuzhen exclaimed, looking at the photographs. "They're just as good as the professional ones."

"Right? They're both really amazing." Hongxia was also proud to have found two such talented helpers.

"Actually, it's not that amazing." Fans #1 and #2 were a little embarrassed by the praise from the group.

The two of them were completely doing this out of love, since the band wouldn't give them any money after it ended; at most, they could just treat them to a meal.

"There's an izakaya upstairs. You can order whatever you want to eat," Ryo said, pointing upstairs.

Yuma gave her a helpless chop to the head: "You! Don't use the privileges I gave you to fool others."

"I know, I was wrong."

Nijika and Kita are discussing the music video shoot with Number One and Number Two. They have also borrowed the camera that Yuuma used to shoot videos.

At this moment, Pochi stood aside, watching as her two fans got along better with other people than with her, and she was quite taken aback.

"Speaking of which, how do you plan to film it?" Fan number one asked. "Do you have any preconceived notions about band music videos?"

Everyone immediately looked at Ryo and Yuuma. Ryo had watched a lot of music videos and definitely knew something, while Yuuma was simply experienced in this area.

“In music videos, there’s usually a random female character who’s crying, running, and dancing,” Liang said.

"Are you watching Mi ○○'s music video?" Yuzhen felt a strong sense of déjà vu about what she was saying.

"Also, apart from the better-looking members, everyone else was only shown in flashback scenes..."

Before Liang could finish speaking, Hongxia covered his mouth. All the suggestions he had made were completely useless.

Everyone looked at Yuuma; now they could only pin their hopes on him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yuzhen thought for a moment and then replied, "When we used to shoot music videos, we would find a park and each person would do something to make themselves look busy. I was often responsible for creating a sense of contrast."

In the previous music video, Yu-ma was asked to play a handsome guy with a contrasting personality. He looks like a fierce band member, but is actually a gentle and caring older brother.

According to others, this is a powerful way to attract female fans and can make the band thrive.

He did as instructed, and it was indeed very effective. However, some fans later discovered that he didn't smoke at all and stopped being his fans.

“I feel like this is very useful.” Kita was very interested in this kind of thing. “Everyone’s energy is displayed in the music video, which, combined with the dark lyrics, will definitely create a strong contrast.”

But how could Pochi possibly do such a thing? So the plan was shelved.

“If you ask me, we should make the most of the internet,” Liang said again. “For example, Boqi’s sister is very cute, and Hongxia said that Boqi’s Jimmy Heng is also very cute. We can use cute kids and cute pets as the cover.”

No, that's not enough. Kenzaki should appear on the cover to ride the wave of popularity. Ideally, the store manager should also be included in the photo.

In that case, the title could be something like, "[Amazing Episode] The Real Reason a Popular Band's Lead Singer Gave Up Music [Includes a Prize Roll]" to get clicks.

However, instead of applause and admiration, she was met with two powerful hand chops that struck the back of her neck simultaneously.

"Now that the cover and title are decided, we should start thinking about how to shoot it."

Hongxia wrote down the cover and title ideas she had just come up with on a piece of paper.

Of course, what she wrote was all very serious, not the unreliable solutions Liang mentioned.

"You usually go to the beach, right?" Yuma suggested, "Or maybe a dimly lit street with a nice atmosphere?"

"As for the beach, I've been there with Kenzaki-nii before." Kita recalled that team-building trip to the beach, which left her with many embarrassing memories.

“Enoshima is pretty good too, isn’t it? It’s not too far away, and the scenery there is quite nice,” Nijika suggested.

“I have a great idea!” Kita suddenly stood up. She thought of a music video plot that she thought was brilliant: “A couple who went on a date at the beach started arguing for some reason, but our band happened to be playing over there when we finished.”

After watching the band finish their performance, they were deeply moved, apologized to each other, reconciled, gazed at each other affectionately, and then kissed.

Finally, the band will offer their blessings at the end.

So, so, so?

As soon as she finished speaking, Boqi next to her began to convulse uncontrollably.

"Ichiri-chan!" Kita quickly steadied Pochi. "Was the story I told strange?"

"Ah...no...I can't quite accept the ending."

Pochi stopped convulsing. "Besides, our songs have absolutely nothing to do with romance."

"Besides, where are we going to find a couple to act in?" Fan #2 also pointed out what she felt was unreasonable.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the band members' eyes were all turned to Yuuma and Hoshika sitting next to her.

"They're a married couple, not lovers, but pretty much the same." Liang said, casting questioning glances at Fans #1 and #2: "Wouldn't it be fine if they both participated?"

Are you really planning to use this script?

……

Yuma and Hoshika declined the band's invitation to end their performance; they definitely didn't want to kiss in the music video. It was fine for them to do that in private, but it was completely out of the question for a music video.

"Then Kenzaki-san, why don't you show your face?" Ryo still chimed in after they rejected him. "Let us ride on your coattails. Your fans will be very useful in a situation like this."

"Fans aren't for this kind of thing!" Yu Zhen said, not one to tolerate being cold. "You better be realistic and go make your own music videos."

Hongxia grabbed Liang, who was still fooling around, and dragged her away; they were going to go outside to film on location. The performance hall fell silent.

"By the way, what brings you here today?" Seeing that only she, Xingge, and PA were left in the performance hall, Yuzhen moved closer to Xingge.

“I was bored at home, so I came to take a look.” Xingge pushed away his face as he leaned in. “I can’t keep letting you do all this work for me, can I? After all, this exhibition hall is mine.”

"You're all mine now, why are you still being so particular?" Yuzhen said, pressing herself against her and placing her hand on her stomach. "Are you feeling anything?"

"It seems not yet." Xingge turned to look at PA, who was sitting at the table scrolling through her phone. Finding that PA wasn't looking this way, she ignored Youzhen. "I guess we should prepare for these things in advance."

"No rush, there's plenty of time." Yuzhen withdrew her hand, but still stayed close to her. "This is fine too, I want to enjoy some more time alone together."

'Where's our time together? You two are completely ignoring me, a grown man?' PA was indeed scrolling through her phone, but she couldn't stand it anymore. 'I should have gone out for a walk with the End of the Band; it would have been better than staying here.'

……

They can still have some alone time; Yuzhen and Xingge can enjoy some alone time as long as they leave the performance hall now.

But they couldn't just leave PA alone in the performance hall, could they? She'd be lonely. The two of them thought it would be better to stay and keep her company.

"I'm going to have lunch." PA stopped slumping on the table and left the exhibition hall.

"Lunch is only 10:30 in the morning?"

Yuzhen watched her leave, then turned to Xingge: "She went to eat. Shall we go out too? There's no one in the performance hall at this time anyway."

"Where are we going?" Xingge was still looking at the performance schedule on the computer. Youzhen hadn't had time to arrange the order of the performances today. "I still have to work."

"What's the rush? Isn't the performance in a few days?" Yuzhen glanced at the screen and then looked away.

“That needs to be done in advance.” Xingge pushed away the hand that was grabbing her arm and shaking her. “There are other things to do in a few days.”

"what's up?"

Her words piqued Youzhen's interest. What could Xingge possibly have done in a few days? How come he didn't know?

No matter how he asked, Xingge wouldn't say. Oh well, he'd find out eventually.

In the end, Xingge still went out with Youzhen. The two of them left a note for PA, asking her to help look after the store when she came back.

It wasn't that the two of them were deliberately making things difficult for PA. There were only a few employees in the performance hall, and once they left, the band wouldn't be there either, so they had no choice but to ask PA for help.

"Shouldn't we hire a few more employees?" Yuma glanced at the empty performance hall before leaving. "PA is usually here all by herself. Doesn't she get lonely?"

"We'll think about it later." Xingge closed the door. "Speaking of which, you were the one who insisted on dragging me out. Have you decided where you want to go?"

"How about going to Shibuya? I'd like to check out Shibuya Parco."

"Let's go then. But let's make this clear first, I'm just going to walk around with you for a bit, so don't think I'm boring."

"No, no, that won't happen."

……

"This, this is..."

Yuma turned her head when she heard Hoshika's voice.

A peripheral T-shirt that made Xingge exclaim in admiration immediately caught her eye.

She remembered seeing this T-shirt online before, and it was more expensive than the one sold here. Xingge hadn't expected that accompanying Youzhen on this trip would actually be fruitful.

"I want to buy this." Xingge took the T-shirt and went to pay.

"I didn't expect that you would gain more from this trip than I did."

Yu-chan, who suggested coming here, didn't buy much, but Hoshika bought a lot of merchandise she had always wanted.

"I didn't expect you to like these things." Yuzhen looked at the merchandise in the bag she was holding. "Are you going to put them in a display case when we get back?"

"May I?"

"Of course, there's still plenty of space in my display case."

Afterwards, the two went to buy PA a new game cartridge, which she had mentioned wanting to buy before, hoping to capitalize on the hype by doing a live stream.

"There's a place over there where you can take photo booth pictures," Youzhen said, pulling Xingge's hand. "We've never done that before, have we? Want to give it a try?"

"This..." Xingge didn't wear much makeup today, and she was worried that she wouldn't look good in the photos.

"Let's go, let's take a picture."

Seeing how much Yuzhen wanted to take a picture, she was eventually pulled inside by Yuzhen and they took one together.

“This is…” Xingge looked at the special effects in the photo that looked like the ones Kita usually used, and quickly put them away. “Let’s not take pictures of this kind of thing in the future.”

"Oh, Xingge, are you shy?" Youzhen looked at the shy Xingge with a mischievous grin. "Let me see, I haven't seen that photo yet."

"No."

"Don't be shy, let me see."

Yuzhen snatched the photo away in an instant. While Xingge was grabbing the photo, he held up his phone in selfie mode with one hand and the photo booth picture with the other, pulled Xingge into his arms, and snapped a picture of that moment.

"New phone wallpaper, got it!"
