Gravity Girl Shining

The past and the present intertwined here for a moment, but then separated again.

Takamatsu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She raised her head and looked at Uehara Hibiki who was close to her, her eyes full of shyness and love. This time, it was not Toyokawa Shoko who saved her, but Uehara Hibiki.

"Be careful, Lantern."

Uehara Hibiki's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of doting.

"It's slippery here, don't fall."

Takamatsu's cheeks flushed instantly. She raised her head, her eyes meeting Uehara Hibiki's, her eyes gleaming with determination and love as she leaned closer. Uehara Hibiki was the only one who could hear her whisper, so thin it was like a mosquito's.

"Thank you, Hibiki."

Uehara Hibiki was stunned for a moment, then gently responded to her kiss. Their lips touched, as if time had stood still. A warm current surged through Takamatsu Deng's heart. She had once relied so heavily on Xiangzi, but now, she had someone new to rely on. Uehara Hibiki had become the most important person in her life, her safe haven, her pillar of support.

After the kiss, Takamatsu Deng nestled in Uehara Hibiki's arms, breathing softly. A happy smile graced her face, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Hibiki, I love you."

Uehara Hibiki gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of tenderness: "I love you too, Deng."

……

At the end of their journey home, the two came to an overpass. This, as a classic scene, naturally brought out another memory that Toyokawa Shoko once told Uehara Hibiki. It was one night, and she and Deng were the only two people on the overpass. Facing the roaring tram below, they opened their arms and shouted loudly.

"I really want to be human!"

Then, the two of them each sang the original version of the song "Want to Become Human".

Recalling this past, Takamatsu Tomo couldn't help but let out a whine. We still don't know what kind of magic Toyokawa Shoko cast that day to make Takamatsu Tomo sing loudly for the first time.

so……

"Then let's shout it out today."

Uehara Hibiki took Takamatsu Touma's hand and walked to the overpass fence, leaning her against it, facing the rushing traffic below. Then, he stood behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and asked her to open her arms, reminiscent of the iconic Jack and Rose pose in Titanic. Touma's heartbeat quickened, feeling the warmth of Uehara Hibiki's body, her eyes filled with happiness.

"Are you ready?"

Uehara Hibiki's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of anticipation.

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath and nodded. Just then, a truck roared past, its horn blaring. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Songdeng opened his arms, closed his eyes, and shouted loudly.

"I want to be with Xiang forever! Form a lifelong band with him!"

The girl's voice was drowned out by the roar of traffic, but Uehara Hibiki heard it clearly. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he hugged Deng's waist tightly, repeating the oath he had repeated countless times in her ear.

"Me too, Deng. I will definitely be with you forever."

The two embraced on the overpass, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a golden halo over them. Traffic continued to rush by under the bridge, the roar of traffic echoing, but their world was quiet and beautiful. Gao Songdeng's heart was filled with contentment. She knew that no matter what happened in the past, she now had her own happiness.

Therefore, her Ishizuku Sora will become the sunshine after the rain for everyone. And Uehara Hibiki's new song will also connect everyone in the sunny days to come. She wants everyone to have the same happiness as her, in the form of a harem.

Even though they are no longer members of the band, Takamatsu and Toyokawa Shoko remain close friends. MyGo and AveMujica are destined to be connected, and it is difficult for one to easily break away from the other. Therefore, Takamatsu is immersed in Uehara Hibiki's happy harem and actively contributes to it.

"Of course, Deng, don't forget what I said before. You have an exam next month, so you must study hard."

"Huh? I'm... fine."

Faced with Uehara Hibiki's smirking warning, Takamatsu Deng gritted his teeth and began his wailing again today.

"Okay, I understand. I'll try my best."

For the sake of kissing and "running", Takamatsu Deng, who is immersed in happiness, can no longer accept the lack of these stimulations in his life.

"So...it's all Hibiki's fault."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, but you still have to work hard and study hard."

Smiling, he sent Takamatsu Deng home and checked the time. It was just in time. Xiangzi was still obsessed with private lessons. After all, once the band was formed, money would start to flow.

Well, according to the agreement, I should go to Su Shi's house to have dinner with her today.

The harem king, Uehara Hibiki, works diligently every day to ensure the happiness of the beautiful girls he loves.

Chapter 146 Love echoes in the rain.

Raindrops tapped gently against the umbrella, creating a delicate rhythmic sound. Under a gloomy sky, Uehara Hibiki and Chihaya Aine shared an umbrella, strolling along the wet sidewalk. The rain drenched the ground, filling the air with a damp scent, and the streets seemed shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Chihaya Aine clung tightly to Uehara Hibiki, her long pink hair gleaming brightly beneath the umbrella, a splash of color on the gloomy rainy day. Although she used the excuse of fear of getting wet, the playful glint in her eyes and the slightly raised corners of her mouth spoke volumes.

That’s right, even though Chihaya Aine had an umbrella in her schoolbag, as a couple, they have to share an umbrella to be romantic!

And for Uehara Hibiki...yes, that's right, couples should stick together!

Uehara Hibiki betrayed his past self without hesitation. He didn't remember things like "sharing one umbrella with two people is pure suffering", "it can't withstand a strong wind and rain at all", and "it's not as efficient as one umbrella per person".

I am not afraid of being forgotten!

“Aine, I think the rain splashed on my shoulder.”

Uehara Hibiki looked at Chihaya Aine seriously, with a triumphant smile on his face.

"So let's get closer!"

"Hmm? Hibiki, you're such a fool."

Chihaya Aine smirked, her long pink hair brushing against Hibiki Uehara's shoulders as she moved, bringing a faint scent. Undoubtedly, Hibiki's words resonated with her. The girl's soft body pressed against Hibiki Uehara's. Although a little slender, she could still feel it with a squeeze.

"Hibiki, you know what? Smoothie-style outfits are super popular in Tokyo lately."

As if she saw a familiar outfit on the street, Chihaya Aine was immediately inspired to start a new topic. She gestured excitedly with her eyes shining.

"It's that sweet and refreshing style, perfect for summer. It feels like drinking an icy smoothie!"

Uehara Hibiki lowered his head slightly, looking at Aine's excitement, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. Although he knew nothing about these fashion trends, seeing Aine so happy, he was willing to be a quiet listener and listen to her talk.

"I don't know much about it, but it sounds interesting. Can you tell me more about it?"

Chihaya Aine's eyes suddenly lit up and she began to focus on the area she was familiar with.

"The fruit smoothie style is an extension of the 'milk shake style,' but it's a bit brighter than the milk shake style, using mostly light shades like pink, purple, and mint green. Paired with fruit-themed accessories, like strawberry hairpins or lemon earrings, it's super girly!"

As she spoke, Chihaya Aine gestured with her hands, as if she had already outlined a complete outfit in her mind.

"But I do think that the current smoothie color schemes are getting tired easily. While they're trendy for a while, they won't stand the test of time as well as milkshakes. Maybe in a few months, milkshakes will regain their popularity. After all, black and white are timeless classics."

Hibiki Uehara listened attentively, nodding occasionally, his eyes filled with fondness. He loved seeing Aine so full of energy; her every move and every word warmed his heart. Just as Aine compared the two trends, Hibiki Uehara suddenly thought of something and spoke.

“Then, Aine, your original plaid dress was also of a similar design? But the black and gray plaid doesn’t look like a milkshake pattern.”

Hearing this, Chihaya Aine's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Hmph, that's something I carefully selected. After all, as a fashionista at AnonTokyo, while pursuing trends, you also have to highlight your own personality. Otherwise, wouldn't you be just like those people who just follow the trend?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Uehara Hibiki thought about Aine's private clothes, which were indeed cute.

"It suits you very well. What a cute combination."

Chihaya Aine immediately pressed her face against Uehara Hibiki's arm and said coquettishly.

"Damn it, it's too late to tell you now!"

Although she said so, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, obviously she was very pleased with such praise.

In this way, the two joked with each other for a while, and the topic naturally turned back to music and school.

"Speaking of which, how's the band's reception been lately? What reactions have the students at school had?"

"Of course it's great. Our band is really popular now."

Chihaya Aine's voice suddenly became excited. It was obvious that her popularity in school had been growing these days, and she was very happy.

"Now, not only the freshmen, but even the sophomores and juniors, as well as the juniors in the middle school, almost everyone knows MyGo's reputation. Walking around school, people look at me differently. After all, Sumimi and Miaomengqin are both very popular among girls. Our continuous collaborations with them have attracted a lot of fans to follow us."

Uehara Hibiki nodded. He had a similar grasp of the school situation as Aine, but because he was a boy and had the reputation of being the harem king, his fanbase had to be more restrained. They didn't interact with him as much as they did with Aine and Deng. Plus, he'd smoothed things over with the student council president beforehand, so everyone's attitude at school was... relatively restrained. Even with Hanasakigawa and Tsuki no Mori, Uehara Hibiki had already established a solid foundation of communication with the band veterans there, so the situation was under control.

However, outside of school, fans in society, especially those on the Internet...

Uehara Hibiki will never forget the sentence "The lead singer works too hard" that affected Deng for a whole year. Although Aine's mentality is much better than Deng's, the words on the Internet are ultimately more powerful than this.

"What about the comments on your videos? You've been reading fewer comments lately."

Chihaya Aine's expression suddenly became complicated, and her tone gradually became low.

"Just like before, most people support us, but...some people do say some harsh words now."

Uehara Hibiki didn't respond immediately, but instead looked at Aine sideways as she took the initiative to express those emotions.

"Some people can say that our criticism was excessive and without restraint, but some people are really attacking us deliberately without any reason."

Chihaya Aine did not specify the content of those comments, and Uehara Hibiki has never seen the latter under the account's videos. It seems that Aine's skills in deleting and blocking are getting more and more proficient.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, and the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella became more frequent. The water droplets on the umbrella gathered into lines and slid down the edge. Uehara Hibiki gently squeezed Aine's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm.

"Don't pay too much attention to those comments, you are already great."

"I know that everyone's music carries our lives, and it's definitely not what they say."

Chihaya Aine bit her lip, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes.

Just looking at those words really makes me angry. Those people clearly don’t understand us at all, yet they say such harsh things.”

Uehara Hibiki changed the hand that held the umbrella and put his arm around Aine's waist. His voice was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Aine's heart.

"You've done a great job, Aine. Didn't you also say that those bad reviews are just the voices of a minority, and there are more people supporting us."

"Yeah, indeed."

Chihaya Aine lived up to the title of Ultimate Yang Corner. She quickly cheered herself up, changed her perspective, and started a new "winning school".

"And should I say it's truly me? Even in the face of such disgusting things, I can still remain optimistic. As expected, I'm the only one who can run this account. If it were anyone else, Tomorin definitely wouldn't work, Rikki would probably turn into an online verbal battle, and Soyorin, I think she'd end up wiping away tears in the middle of the night. As for Lenai... forget it. She rarely even responds to the band discussion group."

"But Aine, you forgot one person."

Uehara Hibiki exerted force with his hands, hugged Aine's waist, and almost lifted her up.

"What about me? What about me? What if I feel bad for you and want to take back your operating rights?"

"This is absolutely not possible!"

Chihaya Aine screamed, then started to act coquettishly.

"No, Xiang, I still want to continue to be an operator!"

That’s right, for Chihaya Aine, although occasional bad reviews are annoying, as an operator, her pleasure lies in the high-intensity interaction with fans every day, especially those fans who like to brag and give various compliments.

Chihaya Aine's vanity is completely satisfied!

"I knew you wouldn't want to, I was just kidding."

Uehara Hibiki kissed Aine on the cheek, a smile on his face.

"However, if you encounter similar situations in the future, don't keep it in your heart. Come to me or talk to Su Shi about it."

"Okay, okay, I get it, honey."

Just as the two were immersed in the warm atmosphere, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Whoa! Looks like I came at the wrong time."

They both turned around and saw Miao Meng appear behind them, holding an umbrella with a cat pattern and a mischievous smile on her face. She was wearing a stylish casual outfit today, and her hair was carefully styled, maintaining a perfect image even on a rainy day.

"So we've already reached the meeting place?"

The theory of relativity came upon Chihaya Aine once again. It seemed like only a few minutes had passed, but she had already walked from the RING to the meeting place agreed upon with Meow Mengqin.

"How long have you been listening to it?"

Uehara Hibiki asked even though he knew the answer. It was impossible for Miao Meng to be hidden from him, but he just felt that this kind of back and forth was much more interesting.

"Not much then?"

Miao Meng put on a thinking posture, then slowly walked to Uehara Xiang's side. The umbrellas in their hands touched lightly, making a soft sound.

"Maybe you heard about it from the bad reviews on the Internet?"

Immediately afterwards, Miao Mengqin patted her chest, with a glint of understanding in her eyes, and went straight to the point.

"I understand. I understand it all too well. As an internet celebrity, I'm an expert on this!"

"Oh yes, Meow Meng dear! Please help me!"
