Gravity Girl Shining

Sanjiao Chuhua trembled and bit his fingers to block out the embarrassing sounds.

……

By the time they emerged from the planetarium, the sun had already set, tinging the sky with a faint red. The three of them went to the café downstairs. While they were chatting, despite Sankaku Hatsuka's impeccable disguise, Takamatsu Deng was keenly aware of her inner low mood. He put down his milk and timidly whispered, "What's going on?"

"Chuhua, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sanjiao Chuhua shook his head, thought for a moment, and then pretended to be "seen through" and began to force a smile.

No, I just have a bit of a work bottleneck. I originally thought I could look at the stars to find some inspiration for writing lyrics, but...it seems like today is just not my day, so I don't have any inspiration."

Sankaku Hatsuka didn't want Takamatsu Deng to see that something was wrong with her, and she didn't want this kind girl to be involved in the complicated relationship between her and Uehara Hibiki.

After all...it's enough that I'm the only one who's sad.

Just by hearing what Sankaku Hatsuka said, Gao Songdeng also thought of his own feelings at certain moments.

"Chuhua, although these are my feelings. When I write lyrics, they are all true feelings from the heart. Xiangzi once said that my lyrics are the cry of my heart. And in these few MyGo LIVEs, I also felt that when I sing, I shout out my feelings and let the audience feel our feelings... Although it's a bit messy, this is what I think. I hope it can help you."

Gao Songdeng's voice was clear and sincere, as if telling the simplest truth, but it made Chuhua's heart even heavier.

After all, Sankaku Hatsuka had been full of lies in front of Toyokawa Shoko. Even though the band's mask wasn't yet complete, Sankaku Hatsuka had already donned an invisible mask in her heart. How could she, so full of lies, write sincere lyrics?

Looking into Gao Songdeng's clear eyes, Sanjiao Chuhua felt that there was an insurmountable gap between them. Gao Songdeng was so pure, but Sanjiao Chuhua had been deceiving the most important person.

So, Sanjiao Chuhua pretended to be grateful and nodded, continuing to weave his own life of lies.

"I see, as expected of you, Deng. I will seriously consider your opinion. Oh, sorry, it's already this late, I should go back."

Just as Sankaku Hatsuka turned to leave, Uehara Hibiki suddenly spoke.

"Miss Chuhua, let me give you a ride. Deng, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

Although Takamatsu Deng didn't quite understand, she nodded obediently, choosing to trust Uehara Hibiki and sitting there watching the two of them leave. Sankaku Hatsuka wanted to refuse, but Uehara Hibiki had already walked up to her with an unquestionable determination in his eyes. She had no choice but to shut up and follow him to a secluded corner.

After Uehara Hibiki stopped, Sankaku Hatsuka looked at the silence around her. Having lost her audience, she also lost her confidence and retreated to the wall little by little. Only the cold wall behind her could bring her a sense of security.

"Uehara Hibiki, what are you doing? You're on an important date, but you're leaving your girlfriend to come to me. Deng will get suspicious."

"No, Deng won't doubt it, because she will trust me unconditionally."

Uehara Hibiki was not in a hurry. He just looked at her calmly with a slight smile on his lips.

"I can see you're shaken. As an accomplice, I just want to give you some advice."

Sanjiao Hatsuka bit her lip. Although she told Uehara Hibiki to leave, she couldn't help but want to hear his opinion. After all, Uehara Hibiki always had a way of seeing through her thoughts and hitting her soft spot accurately.

"Okay, you say."

There was a hint of reluctance in her tone, but it couldn't hide a hint of anticipation.

Uehara Hibiki smiled slightly, then spoke seriously.

"Actually, my advice is the same as the lamp's: write out your true feelings. Don't suppress your emotions, and incorporate your guilt, sadness, and even your obsession with Xiangzi into the lyrics. It's a cry from the heart. What Xiangzi said is very reasonable."

Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but sneer, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"That's impossible. How could I put that into lyrics? I'm... just a liar."

Uehara Hibiki shook his head and reached out to stroke Sankaku Hatsuka's cheek, as if stroking an invisible mask.

"Sanjiao Chuhua can't possibly say all of this, but what about Doloris? If you want to interpret this worldview, if you want to be Doloris, then use the identity of Doloris to express your inner obsession and madness. An abandoned doll, a forgotten doll, a doll that has lost its life, a doll that has been resurrected. There must be so much in your heart that you want to express."

Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but fall silent. Uehara Hibiki's suggestion was like a ray of light, piercing her chaotic heart.

She knew that this was a way to escape reality, but it was also a way to get rid of it. She could sing about her pain and struggle through Dolores's mouth without having to face the reality of the triangle directly.

Or maybe she was more willing to accept Doloris's identity as a doll than Triangle Chuhua.

Did the human become a puppet, or did the puppet become a human?

Sanjiao Chuhua raised his head and looked at Uehara Hibiki's all-seeing eyes, and at the invisible threads extending from his hands and entwining around him.

"Are you...trying to win over me? You scumbag!"

Her voice trembled, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, and she almost screamed. There was no doubt that Hibiki Uehara had once again made a suggestion that Sankaku Hatsuka couldn't refuse. He was like a puppeteer, manipulating the puppets on the stage at will.

However, the puppet Sanjiao Chuhua was attracted by the temptation of happiness he had woven.

Uehara Hibiki gently held her hand, his movements gentle and gentlemanly, and placed a light kiss on the back of her hand.

"I just think you can't keep everything bottled up inside. Talking and venting appropriately is good for your mental health. Of course, if you want to think that way, that's fine. But just remember, I'm a scumbag who plays with the feelings of beautiful girls, so your changing feelings towards me are not your fault."

Sankaku Hatsuka's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her fingers trembled slightly as she felt the lingering warmth on the back of her hand. Uehara Hibiki, however, let go of her hand, turned and walked away gracefully, leaving only a piece of advice.

"Consider my advice carefully."

She watched the figure disappear into the distance until it was no longer visible, but Sanjiao Chuhua remained standing. She looked down at the back of her hand that had been kissed, feeling a mixture of emotions: hatred for Uehara Hibiki, gratitude for his advice, and even a hint of affection that she herself was unwilling to admit.

He's clearly a scumbag, he's clearly been deceiving Xiangzi, and he's clearly going to hurt Xiangzi in the future...

Would he hurt himself if that happened?

How sad it is for the idol to be deceived by a scumbag and the girl to be toyed with by a scumbag.

As if possessed by a ghost, Sanjiao Chuhua pressed his lips against the back of her hand, feeling the lingering kiss.

[Triangle Chuhua strategy progress +10, now 25/100.]

Chapter 145: A happy date with the lamp.

After saying goodbye to Sanjiao Hatsuhua, Uehara Hibiki quickly returned to the cafe, and Takamatsu Deng was still waiting there obediently.

only……

From a distance, Uehara Hibiki could see Deng carefully picking up his red teacup, as if examining some treasure. The penguin girl first raised the cup to her nose and sniffed, then brought it to her lips and took a sip.

No way?

Deng obviously replenishes his energy through kissing every day, so he shouldn't need this kind of indirect kissing to satisfy himself, right?

"Deng, would you like some black tea?"

Uehara Hibiki no longer waited and strode over. Seeing Uehara Hibiki's arrival, Takamatsu Deng immediately put down his teacup and shook his head.

"No, I was just worried your tea would get cold... It's okay now."

Okay, it turned out that I was overthinking it.

Uehara Hibiki took the teacup from the girl's hand. In addition to the temperature of the liquid in the cup, there was also some residual body temperature on the handle of the cup. The fragrance of tea and the girl's body fragrance mixed together.

Along the side where Deng's lips had just touched, Uehara Hibiki tasted the black tea.

"Come to think of it, Deng has never really liked tea."

"Hmm, it tastes a bit bitter. Coffee is the worst, but tea...it's just okay."

Gao Songdeng looked at the milk in front of her and thought of the first time she met Crychic. She clearly didn't like coffee, but she ordered a mocha just to fit in. Now, she can directly express her different preferences from others.

But I still like to drink juice or milk, they are sweet and delicious."

"Hahaha, this is the only thing about the lamp that makes it look like a child."

Among the five members of the band, only Takamatsu Deng cannot accept bitterness. Even Mao Mao, who loves all kinds of sweets, has a unique love for matcha.

Just listening to Uehara Hibiki's laughter, Takamatsu Deng suddenly became flustered.

"Hibiki! I'm not a kid anymore!"

Even Penguin Girl doesn't want to be treated like a child by her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I know."

"Woooo..."

Takamatsu Deng drank the milk in the cup in one breath, with milky white liquid beads still hanging at the corners of his mouth. He rushed straight into Uehara Hibiki's arms and kissed him fiercely.

It tastes sweet on the tongue.

"Ha...hahu...this is a grown-up kiss."

Seeing Takamatsu Deng's rare pampering, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but laugh. He frankly admitted his mistake, took Takamatsu Deng's arm, and the two slowly walked out of the cafe.

"Indeed, the lamp is not a child."

While saying this, Uehara Hibiki also used his eyes and arms to feel the adults' proof. I always feel that maybe it's because he has been "running" too many times recently, it seems that Deng has grown again and is almost the same size as Li Xi.

However, this kind of thing varies from person to person. Uehara Hibiki still remembers that Suyo seemed to have similar troubles, but Aine had none at all... It's so sad.

……

The evening sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the street. Uehara Hibiki's arm was held by Takamatsu Touma, and the two of them walked home happily. At Touma's suggestion, starting last week, after their dates, they no longer took the train, but walked home instead.

On the one hand, of course, Takamatsu Touma needs to exercise her physical strength. On the other hand, Takamatsu Touma thinks that by using this method, she can keep Uehara Hibiki by her side for a few more minutes.

At the beginning, Takamatsu Deng was a little shy and embarrassed to be too intimate with Uehara Hibiki on the street, but with Uehara Hibiki's encouragement and guidance, Deng, who had the ability to concentrate, quickly learned to ignore those gazes.

"Higashi, when Hatsuka mentioned the lyric writing issue just now, it reminded me of this. Before the live yesterday, Lenai told me that you improvised a song while exploring with her last week, right?"

In the breeze, Gao Songdeng's expression was filled with anticipation, but also a hint of uneasiness.

"You haven't played that song for us yet... or is it because I'm not suitable for that song?"

I see. This is why I've been feeling uneasy since practice ended today.

After all, Uehara Hibiki had indeed sold the rights to Angel's Clover before due to differences in musical style, and by chance, it became Sumimi's new song. Now he had written another song of his own, and Takamatsu Touma had already felt inferior to Mikado Hatsuka, and now that Uehara Hibiki was hiding his new song, she couldn't help but start to think about it again.

"Okay, Deng, I do have a rough outline for that song, but it's not perfect yet. I plan to continue polishing it."

What Uehara Hibiki said was indeed true. It was the first time he faced a Lv.4 creation, which meant that this song had a chance to become a hit, a new hit song that would be popular all over Japan.

Not only do we need to prepare it thoroughly and modify it to perfectly fit the current MyGo, but we also need to find a suitable stage.

"This song is my heart's work. I have no intention of handing it over to outsiders. All my hopes are pinned on you, Deng."

"ring!"

Takamatsu Deng lowered his head in shame, as if reflecting on his impatience and suspicion of Uehara Hibiki.

"Okay, Lantern, it's nothing."

Uehara Hibiki smiled and fell into memories.

"That day, Lenai and I jammed on the rooftop of an abandoned building. At that moment, my feet left the earth, and above my head was the bright sky after the rain. There, I felt a sense of unfettered liberation. The sky cleared after the rain, and there was the taste of freedom."

As he spoke, Uehara Hibiki took out a notebook from his schoolbag. This was a gift he received from Deng, and it was also a habit.

After memorizing everything, I go home and record my inspiration with pen and paper, not a screen. It's like reading a book; even if the content is the same, a paper book has a special flavor that's completely different from an e-book.

Gao Songdeng's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take the notes, curiously savoring every word and sentence on it.

"What beautiful lyrics! Hibiki, in addition to this week's new song, I also wrote a song about the sun shining after the rain. It's called Ichishizuku Sora. It seems to have a similar theme to yours, but the lyrics aren't finished yet. I still have to practice the new song this week."

"Well, there's really no rush."

The corners of Uehara Hibiki's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. To be honest, when he originally set the standard of "a new song every two weeks", he was worried that it would be a bit difficult, but now it seems that it is more than enough.

All in all, MyGo's original song legend is expected to continue in RING.

"By the way, Deng, what do you think after reading the lyrics? I think you should be able to resonate with the love and freedom in the lyrics."

"Yes, all love, but it's not heavy... nor is it light and airy, but it's trying hard, trying desperately, to fly."

The two walked on the overpass, crossing the busy Toden Arakawa Line. In the intervals between the roar of the train, Takamatsu Deng left Uehara Hibiki, stood on tiptoe, and stretched his arms toward the sky, as if trying to grasp some invisible and intangible "feeling."

Just this action...

Uehara Hibiki thought of the first meeting between Deng and Xiangzi, which they had mentioned to him repeatedly.

"Deng, do you still remember the first time you and Xiangzi met here?"

Takamatsu's thoughts were interrupted. She simply nodded without reacting to Uehara Hibiki's question. But soon, Takamatsu realized that her posture... was exactly the same as it was then.

"Well, I was standing here that day, trying to reach out for the flowers by the bridge, but Xiangzi mistakenly thought I was trying to commit suicide, so she pounced on me and knocked me to the ground. As a result, Xiangzi was the one who got hurt."

Even though he had heard it many times, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Then you must have been terrified at that time, right? Or maybe you scared Xiangzi."

Takamatsu's face flushed slightly. It was obvious that this mistake was indeed embarrassing to talk about. However, as her fateful encounter with Toyokawa Shoko, that moment held special meaning.

"I was actually quite surprised, but even more so, I was touched. Although Xiangzi had misunderstood, her concern was genuine. And, my meeting her at that time was truly like fate."

As she spoke, Takamatsu Deng maintained this tiptoeing, hand-stretched position, as if trying to relive the moment. However, a puddle on the bridge caused her foot to slip, and she suddenly lost her balance. Uehara Hibiki was quick to grab her waist and hold her securely in his arms.
