Gravity Girl Shining

Page 120

Toyokawa Shoko nodded reluctantly and turned to walk into Class B. Uehara Hibiki and Chihaya Aine walked side by side to Class A. When they opened the classroom door, they saw Deng, as usual, writing something with his head down, his gray bangs covering most of his face.

Just as Uehara Hibiki was about to say something, the classroom door opened again. Eri and her group of three walked in, and upon seeing the two of them, they trotted over excitedly.

"Uehara-kun! Light! Aine!"

Eri clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling.

"Yesterday's LIVE was so amazing! I cried!"

"Yeah, yeah! Uehara-kun's keyboard is so cool! And Deng's singing is just soul-stirring! I almost didn't recognize Deng! It's completely different from her usual performance."

"Indeed, I never thought that Deng could sing so well. I've never heard you sing in school before."

"Ah, and Aine, I saw the heart you gave us."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Uehara-kun's keyboard, Deng's singing, Aine's guitar, you're all amazing!"

Hearing the praise from Eri and the other two, Aine simply responded with a delighted smile, her smile still as bright as ever. Although she wasn't the "center" of the conversation, and was merely being praised "in passing," her heart still held only a calm satisfaction, without a trace of loss.

"MyGo is a whole, and of course each of us is important!"

After all, for Chihaya Aine now, the band is a whole, and the outstanding performances of Takamatsu Touma and Uehara Hibiki also make her happy. What's more, one of these two people is her best friend, and the other is the lover she has entrusted her life to.

Aine's answer made Uehara Hibiki smile. The Chihaya Aine who used to be so fussy about standing position had now grown up enough to say such words.

The bell rang just in time, interrupting this small fan meeting. Everyone returned to their seats, but the atmosphere in the classroom was noticeably more lively than usual. Occasionally, students would glance back at Xiang and Deng.

Although we didn’t see so many familiar faces at yesterday’s LIVE, it was obvious that because of the fame of Hibiki, Touma, and Aine, plus the promotion of the Eri trio, MyGo will not lack fans, at least in the first year of Hanegaoka.

This discovery made Uehara Hibiki even happier.

……

At 3:20 in the afternoon, the sun lazily shines on the piano in the music classroom.

Toyokawa Shoko's fingers danced nimbly across the black and white keys, her blue ponytails swaying gently to the rhythm. Deng sat in a chair beside her, a notebook spread across his lap, occasionally humming along to the melody.

"Xiangzi, here! I think it can be a little higher."

Deng whispered suggestions, her fingers unconsciously drawing messy lines in the air, forming a disorderly maze, but Toyokawa Shoko could read Deng's emotions from them and transform them into corresponding notes.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded and immediately began to adjust this section. Her eyes sparkled with a bright light, completely different from her usual cold and indifferent image.

In this space, she is just a pure music creator and a friend of Takamatsu Deng.

In the past, Crychic, Toyokawa Shoko was a gentle tyrant. All she did was take over the notebook from the lamp, immerse herself in her own world at home, and compose her own music.

Because Shoko Toyokawa is a genius, she does not allow others to interfere with her music.

But this time, she wants to be with Deng and make up for the time they missed.

"Deng, listen to this."

Shoko Toyokawa's fingers fell on the keys again, and a new melody flowed out.

Gao Songdeng closed her eyes, swayed her body gently to the music, her lips slightly parted, and her clear voice blended perfectly with the sound of the piano.

The two of them were immersed in the world of music and forgot the passage of time.

At the same time, the scene in the astronomy department's activity room was quite different.

"Is the door locked?"

Aine sat on the sofa, her face flushed, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt.

"I'm not like you, constantly forgetting to lock the practice room door. This is the experience and lesson of many predecessors. No matter what, we must develop the good habit of locking the door. But..."

Uehara Hibiki chuckled as he walked up to Aine, looking down at her and running his fingers through her long, soft pink hair.

"I didn't expect Aine to be so impatient."

"ring!"

Chihaya Aine's coquettish voice was gradually replaced by another voice.

Thanks to the former director of the astronomy club, because she secured a lot of random funds, the activity room of the astronomy club now has excellent sound insulation.

Chapter 108: If Ye Mu is growing up...

The 4:30 pm sun cast long shadows on the tram station awning, temporarily separating the three of them.

"Aine, are you sure you're okay?"

Looking at Chihaya Aine who had a sore waist and weak legs, Uehara Hibiki deliberately made his tone ambiguous. The pink-haired girl couldn't help but glare at him fiercely when she heard it.

"Asking questions knowingly!"

Then, Aine hugged Takamatsu Deng again. Although she was obviously taller than Deng, she still leaned on the penguin girl and acted coquettishly. It seemed that she really had no strength left.

"Tomorin, Hibiki is bullying me!"

"Ano, are you okay? Does it still hurt? Do you want me to take you home first, just like you helped me last time, with a hot towel..."

Okay, stop talking.

Uehara Hibiki and Aine covered the mouth of the single-threaded Xiao Deng almost at the same time. If she continued to self-destruct, she would be socially dead if someone heard it.

"Okay, Hibiki, Deng and I are going to go to RING first. We don't have practice today anyway, so we're just discussing the next steps in the cafe. I'll be fine just sitting there."

Chihaya Aine poked Uehara Hibiki in the chest, then forgave him very generously.

"Since you said Su Shi is in a bad mood, then go and keep her company. We'll be waiting for you at RING."

After watching Aine and Tou step into the train car and wave goodbye, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but check the system panel again.

[Nagasaki Suyo, mental state - low (46%, slowly recovering).]

It was 2 percentage points higher than half an hour ago. Even if left alone, it would probably be fine in a few hours. However, Uehara Hibiki was very concerned about what caused Su Shi's low mood this time.

As the god in charge of the harem in Tokyo, Uehara Hibiki is happy to eliminate all troubles for the beautiful girls he likes.

Leaving the train station, Uehara Hibiki arrived at the entrance of Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy with ease. Perhaps because he'd been there so often recently, and coupled with Su Shi's intimate behavior last time, the security guards had given him the green light. Anyway, Uehara Hibiki, a grown man, stood at the entrance of the aristocratic school, and this time, no one even questioned him.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the phone, Uehara Hibiki watched as Nagasaki Suyo chatted with the other party, who answered in a casual manner.

"You're still not frank enough, Sushi."

After waiting for more than ten minutes and chatting with Morfonica's seniors for a while, Uehara Hibiki finally waited for Nagasaki Motoyo.

The moment she saw Uehara Hibiki from afar, her pupils contracted slightly, and then she raised a perfect smile and walked over quickly. She thought she had concealed it well, but Uehara Hibiki's superhuman perception saw her micro-expression from a distance.

"Xiang? Why are you here?"

Nagasaki Suyo once again naturally took his arm, her voice as cute as ever. In front of the students in Tsuki no Mori, Nagasaki Suyo could calmly have intimate contact with Uehara Hibiki, but the only thing she absolutely could not discard was the sound of the clip.

"I'll pick you up on the way."

Uehara Hibiki did not directly expose her disguise, but just gently twisted her long hair.

"Deng and Aine have already gone to RiNG. We'll go there later."

"Ah."

Su Shi nodded, but her fingertips unconsciously grasped his sleeve. Uehara Hibiki didn't need the system to detect Su Shi's abnormality at this time. After all, her nails were now a little scarred.

Whenever Nagasaki Suyo is in a bad mood, she will unconsciously fiddle with her fingertips. In serious cases, it will even leave cracks on her nails.

Suddenly, Uehara Hibiki's eyes caught sight of a green figure deep within the academy. Wakaba Mutsu was standing quietly beneath a large tree, surrounded by a flowerbed that "hidden" her figure. Though somewhat dazed, she wasn't hiding it at all.

Her face remained impassive, her emotions barely visible as she gazed at the two people at the school gate. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on Mu, making her look like an elf stepping out of a painting.

"Su Shi, wait a moment."

Uehara Hibiki let go of Su Shi, took out his cell phone and dialed Mu's number.

"I see you, come here."

"I am afraid……"

Mu's voice was hesitant, and it was obvious that this matter was related to her.

"You don't have to be afraid. Just like we agreed before. If you say something wrong and hurt someone, I will help you."

Uehara Hibiki deliberately became tough and spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal. He knew that at this moment he absolutely could not delay and that speaking out in time was better than anything else. Otherwise, as time went on, there would always be a thorn in his heart.

"If you don't come in three seconds, I'll call Xiangzi."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a second, then the line was disconnected. Nagasaki Suyo looked at Uehara Hibiki in confusion.

"You seemed to have mentioned Xiangzi just now..."

Before she finished her words, Mu came over with her head lowered. Her steps were slow, like a puppet being pulled by invisible strings, and she finally stopped in front of the two of them.

"Mu!"

Nagasaki Suyo's expression instantly stiffened, her fingers unconsciously tightened, and her nails dug into the skin of Uehara Hibiki's arm. Realizing her loss of composure, Suyo immediately let go, but Uehara Hibiki would not give her a chance to escape, and instead put his arm around the girl's waist.

"Mu, come with us."

So, under the shocked gazes of the young ladies around him, Uehara Hibiki led the two of them towards a nearby coffee shop. He could feel Suyo's body stiffen in his arms, and he could hear the girls around him gasping for air. This scene seemed to be a bit too stimulating for the innocent young ladies.

What's more, in addition to Su Shi, a little celebrity in Tsuki no Mori High School, Uehara Hibiki is also accompanied by a big celebrity Wakaba Mutsu, which will definitely add to the campus gossip of Tsuki no Mori.

"Ring, this is too conspicuous..."

Nagasaki Suyo protested softly, her ears reddening. She could feel the gazes coming from all directions, but as Uehara Hibiki's "lover," she could only do her best to cooperate, not wanting to spoil his fun.

"It doesn't matter."

Uehara Hibiki shrugged and deliberately hugged Nagasaki Suyo tighter.

"Anyway, you've taken the initiative to hug my arms these past few times, and now it's just a matter of me hugging your waist instead."

"loquacious."

Soon, Uehara Hibiki took the two of them into a hidden coffee shop, chose a booth in the corner, sat on the same side with Su Shi, and let Mu sit opposite them.

"I think you need to talk. And...if I'm not here, you'll just bury the problem with smiles and silence like before."

Uehara Hibiki's opening remarks were so straightforward. Leaving aside Wakaba Mutsugu, Nagasaki Suyo was silent anyway.

When the waiter brought the drink menu, his eyes couldn't help but linger on Ruoye Mu for a while, obviously recognizing her.

"Two cups of black tea and one cup of mango juice, thank you."

Uehara Hibiki simply made the decision for everyone. After the waiter brought the drinks and left, he crossed his fingers to support his nose bridge, covering half of his face below his nose.

"Okay, now tell me what happened."

Nagasaki Suyo stared down at the table, twiddling her fingers again, while Mu hunched her shoulders like a child who had made a mistake. Silence stretched on, filled only by the background music from the cafe and the clinking of cups and plates in the distance.

"Su Shi."

Uehara Hibiki tried to keep his voice soft.

But Nagasaki Suyo just shook her head, but this also meant that she had completely given up the initiative.

"Mu."

Uehara Hibiki immediately turned to the opposite side.

"Do you know why Su Shi is so sad?"

Ruoye Mu raised his head, his lips trembling slightly.

"It's me. I said the wrong thing. Su Shi is sad."

"What?"

Uehara Hibiki continued to ask.

"I said MyGo's performance was 'pretty good'."

what?
