“But if you can accept settling down in Tokyo first, then slowly train yourself, and then form a band based on your own strength.

"I can offer you a suggestion."

Chapter 100 You are very beautiful

After the girl said she could give Chu Hua some advice, she did not say it immediately, but instead looked at Chu Hua.

That's right, scrutiny. Compared to the first time they met, he could tell so much from Chu Hua's gait and other details with just a quick glance. But this time, he was suddenly so serious, almost examining every detail of Chu Hua from head to toe as if scanning her with a machine. What was he looking at?

At first Chu Hua didn't realize anything was wrong and was still waiting to hear what the girl's suggestions were. However, several seconds passed and he didn't hear the girl speak. He could only stand there stupidly, not knowing what the girl wanted to do.

The first person the girl looked at was Chu Hua's face. Because she was a head shorter than Chu Hua, she had to raise her head slightly and look up at him.

When the girl looked at Chu Hua's face, it seemed that in order to see it more clearly, the good social distance she had originally maintained with Chu Hua was suddenly shortened to the point where she could be directly close to Chu Hua if she took a small step forward.

Then inevitably, at this distance, Chu Hua could clearly see the girl's face, which was childish but had an undeniable sense of "maturity".

Imagine this vast ocean, capable of embracing a myriad of different, even contradictory, images at different times with its boundless generosity. Now, it's the ardent summer, the vibrant sunshine, where youth embodies that most stereotypical feeling: sun and beach. Oh my goodness, when these two words appear together, I can almost imagine the clinking of ice cubes falling into the water, the fizzing sound of delicious drinks, the swimsuits that flaunt their skin and figure, and the sound of running under the setting sun, accompanied by the sound of waves...

In such a scene, when two people are of similar age and are just beginning to be curious about love, they stand on the soft sand, with shells scattered on the ground forming a shape that does not look like a heart at all but can barely be considered a heart. The sunlight passes between the two people standing opposite each other, and there is a flowing color and some inexplicable atmosphere... Isn't this really something that only people in love would do?

Even Chuhua had never had such an opportunity in her several meetings with Xiangzi in midsummer. The act of looking at each other closely was itself too ambiguous. Even young children could realize that it was either an unintentional offense or some kind of sweetness that they had not yet understood but had already noticed.

The most important thing is that the girl's appearance is no less than Xiangzi's. Her blue eyes can be said to be the most suitable for the sea. They look like pure white, but now when you look closely at her from a close distance, there seems to be a little gray hair, fluttering in the sea breeze. Her lips are thin and light in color, without obvious blood color, which makes people want to add other colors to it.

Chu Hua felt his face getting hot. He lowered his head to look at the girl, trying to see some uneasiness on her face, but the girl's face did not show any of those charming emotions, not even a blush, which made it seem that Chu Hua was the only one with impure thoughts.

"that……"

Chu Hua finally couldn't help it and opened his mouth to ask the girl what she was doing, but before he could say a few words, the girl raised her hand and pressed her finger on her lips, physically stopping Chu Hua from speaking any further.

"Don't move."

The girl pressed her index finger on Chuhua's lips and tapped it twice, as if to emphasize that Chuhua should stay still.

Even if Chu Hua wanted to speak, the girl's fingers were not gentle at all. Chu Hua felt that if her lips opened a little, the finger that had been exerting some strength would be directly engulfed by her lips. Chu Hua was now afraid to even breathe in or out with her mouth.

And because the finger was pressed against Chuhua when she had already started talking, Chuhua was unable to completely close her lips in a hurry. Now there was still a slight sense of moisture on the girl's finger, which came from her tongue with a little saliva, which was just pressing between her teeth when she was talking.

While telling Chu Hua not to move, the girl herself had absolutely no intention of staying put. After confirming that Chu Hua wouldn't speak any more, she folded her index finger that was touching Chu Hua's lips and retracted it, lowering it to Chu Hua's jaw. Then, she spread out her middle, ring, and pinky fingers, and with her half-open palm, she lifted Chu Hua's chin.

Then the girl would manipulate Chu Hua's head at will, lifting it higher and then looking down. At the same time, the girl would move herself to find a better angle and observe every detail on Chu Hua's face.

The process actually ended very quickly, continuing the girl's concise and quick style of action, but Chu Hua felt that it was a little too long.

The girl nodded and looked very satisfied, but Chu Hua didn't know what she was satisfied with. But at least this somewhat itchy process was finally over.

"Smile."

Wait, it’s not over yet.

If Chu Hua could have managed to hold himself together in the face of the girl's previous behavior, but this teasing remark, which sounded like that of a lecher and was made by a girl, made Chu Hua step back in panic, his expression becoming somewhat out of control.

"What on earth are you doing? This is so weird!"

The girl followed a few steps forward. Since Chu Hua didn't want to laugh, she could look elsewhere. This time, she began to circle around Chu Hua, observing Chu Hua's body.

However, the girl had no intention of hiding it from Chu Hua. She continued to observe and began to explain:

"You have good looks, so I think you can try your hand at being an idol in Tokyo."

Chu Hua, whose shyness and embarrassment were still piling up and on the verge of exploding, forgot for a moment that an outsider was unscrupulously looking at her body curves at close range when she heard this.

"Idol?"

"Yes, it's a shortcut for some people, mainly those who are good-looking." The girl nodded. She could now see the proportions of Chu Hua's arms, body, and legs clearly, and she felt more and more that this path was indeed suitable for Chu Hua.

After hearing the girl's description, Chu Hua felt somewhat repulsed: "It sounds like... a vase for people to admire."

This is obviously inconsistent with Chuhua's idea of improving his own strength and standing beside Xiangzi in an open and equal manner.

"The idol industry values looks, but that doesn't mean you can only look at looks." The girl corrected Chu Hua's mistake, "You want to form a band, but you don't want to rely on that friend's help. If you want to rely on yourself, without resources and connections, it will be difficult to climb up in a place like Tokyo, so you must at least have a foothold.

"I just said that for good-looking people, becoming an idol is a shortcut, and your appearance is enough to stand out. You just need to find a suitable place and put on a street performance that can let people know that you have some skills. It will only be a matter of time before those scouts who roam around like hyenas every day find you."

The girl had already looked Chu Hua over from head to toe and nodded with satisfaction. "Besides, it's not uncommon to see middle school idols these days. If you can successfully become an idol, and even have the ability to get the attention of an agency, you can get the resources you want to improve yourself."

"This is my advice. It's up to you to decide. But all I can say is: you're better off than any of the young idols I've seen.

"You can continue to ask me any questions you want to know. It's always good to learn more before making a formal choice."

Having said this, the girl has clearly pointed out a clear and feasible path for Chuhua among the many confusing paths in music, and for the girl, this is just a small favor for Chuhua to support her before.

But now that the girl has said that he can ask as many questions as he wants... Chu Hua's first question is not about choosing the path of being an idol, but rather shyly asked:

"Am I... really that good-looking?"

It was indeed the first time that Chu Hua had encountered such a thing as being praised so directly by an outsider for her good looks.

Chapter 101: Meeting unexpectedly and leaving without saying goodbye

"..." The girl drooped her eyelids, feeling speechless about Chu Hua's question. Who was the person who had just said that this was an important choice related to her future?

But the girl still expressed her thoughts truthfully:

"Although it might be because of living on the island for so long and the strong sea breeze, my skin is a little rough, and there's also a faint salty smell. But that can be solved with a little bit of care. And aside from this shortcoming, at least I think it's pretty good."

"Hehe..." Chu Hua scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and laughed a little silly. If Chu Hua hadn't shown that she was indeed cautious and thoughtful when she confided her worries to her earlier, the girl really wanted to persuade her not to go to Tokyo, and even planned to form a band to make a living...

"But you really know a lot of things. Are you also some kind of young lady?"

The second question is why the girl feels that Chuhua is more interested in her.

"My mother works in a similar field, so I understand a little bit."

"So that's it."

After asking these two questions, Chu Hua still remembered the main business and asked the girl a few more detailed questions. For example, in what the girl said before, there were some words that she was not very clear about, such as "firm" and so on... and the girl also patiently explained them to Chu Hua one by one.

After Hua carefully wrote down everything the girl said, it was already late, most of the tourists on the beach had left, and the girl was planning to go back to her accommodation.

"Thank you very much for your help!" Chu Hua bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Although according to the customs of the island, the best way to express gratitude is to invite the other party to your home and cook a good meal for them, Chu Hua also felt that the girl's help was fully worthy of her gratitude.

But unfortunately the girl refused decisively.

Looking at Chu Hua, who looked like a big golden retriever with disappointment written all over his face after being rejected, the girl sighed.

"Finally, I'll teach you one thing. It's best to practice your acting skills. This will help with your idol career, and a suitable persona will also help you get more attention."

"Character setting?" Chu Hua, who has been living on an island and rarely watches variety shows, asked in confusion.

"In short, at least don't let others easily read your thoughts from your expression. In Tokyo, especially in the entertainment industry, this has many advantages."

Afterwards, the girl also told Chuhua a set of little tricks on how to control one's facial expressions, but after Chuhua tried several times, he could only get an awkward expression as if he was deliberately making an ugly face, and even Chuhua's face could not be saved.

"It's difficult, but I will practice hard." Chu Hua now has a high degree of trust in the girl. He believes that since the girl said so, she must have her reasons.

"Don't worry, you can observe the expressions of people around you in daily life. This will be very useful." The girl talked about her own experience. It was hard to imagine what she usually did that she needed to know these things at such a young age.

"You can start by keeping a straight face, then work your way up to making a variety of expressions. If you can't achieve a natural expression that matches the environment and the movements during practice, don't use it in real life."

"The expression is natural..." It is difficult to suddenly ask someone to try to disguise themselves, even if they are pretending to be something they can easily do in normal times.

"Yeah, like this."

Chu Hua subconsciously looked at the girl.

A warm, gentle smile blossomed on the girl's face, as if the ice was melting into a stream, the darkened hut suddenly opened up to let in the bright sunlight, and the first breeze from the woods lifted up a bright moon...

As long as you have a little understanding of what her face usually looks like, it is hard not to feel surprised when you see this smile.

Even if we put aside the surprise brought by the contrast, the girl’s smile itself is a precious treasure, a beautiful scene that makes people want to take a good photo to commemorate it.

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment.

But this scene only lasted for a few seconds, and the girl returned to her cold look. She disappeared so abruptly that Chu Hua didn't even have time to react and felt reluctant.

"Okay, I'm ready to go."

Before leaving, the girl seemed to want to give Chu Hua something and gave out a number: "This is my mother's phone number. If you go to Tokyo later, you can call her. She can easily recommend you someone."

Chu Hua subconsciously wrote down the number when the girl told him, but he immediately frowned after hearing the second half of the girl's words.

"Just like before, this is just a choice I offer you." The girl didn't give Chu Hua a chance to refuse. "It's up to you what you want to do."

After that, the girl left without any extra words.

Chu Hua thought about the number and finally decided to write it down and enter it into his old cell phone.

Although I wouldn't call this number just to get help, but... with this number, I can at least have some connection with that girl, instead of being a stranger who just disappears.

"Ah." Chu Hua suddenly let out a soft cry.

It was not until now that Chu Hua remembered that he had never asked the girl's name.

........................

Sanjiao Chuhua is about to leave the island.

After listening to Chuhua's words and confirming again and again that Chuhua had really thought about these things carefully and really had talent in this area, his parents readily expressed their support.

"Chuhua, we said that no matter what you want to do, we will support you."

Since Chuhua was about to enter the first grade of junior high school at the end of summer vacation, the family discussed it and immediately decided to send Chuhua to Tokyo to study in the first grade. The savings of the past few years were prepared for the child, and now was the time to put them to use.

After packing his things, Chu Hua still wanted to find that special girl before leaving, or at least ask her name.

But Chu Hua searched almost the entire beach, but couldn't find the figure that was isolated from the crowd. Instead, on the way back without any results, he heard that a child seemed to have drowned in the sea, but fortunately, someone had rescued him.

Although a girl gave him his number, Chu Hua didn't plan to use it here. It was a bit regrettable, but who knows, maybe they'll run into each other again somewhere in the future.

After arriving in Tokyo, Chuhua chose to enroll in Hanasakigawa, a school with a more "free" academic atmosphere. Although he got in touch with Xiangzi, he did not directly express his desire to form a band with Xiangzi.

If he proposed it, Xiangzi would definitely agree to it, but he had already received too much help from Xiangzi. Chuhua hoped that Xiangzi would take the initiative to invite him after seeing his strength.

Chuhua relied on the living expenses sent by his family every month, lived frugally, found teachers and bought textbooks for himself, and began to study harder. He also usually performed on the street near the live house alone.

One day after that, a talent scout spotted Sanjiao Chuhua, a skilled and good-looking man who was performing on the street.

Everything is on track.

Chapter 102: Identity Mystery

Time returns to the present.

Calm down, calm down.

Chuhua was a little flustered for a moment when Qingchuan Xiang directly pointed out the fact that he didn't like Sumimi's songs.

After arriving in Tokyo and living there for a while, Chu Hua became increasingly grateful for the girl he met on the beach. Even with her warning, Chu Hua realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of finding a foothold in Tokyo.

If Chuhua just studied and lived in Tokyo, it wouldn't be a big problem relying on the living expenses provided by his family, but this is not what Chuhua wanted.

She completely let go of the hope that maybe there was no need to be an idol and that she could just form a band and become successful in one fell swoop, and chose the advice that the girl gave her.

Even so, it was not smooth sailing. Chu Hua was confused along the way and was defrauded more than once. Fortunately, he did not lose too much each time. Instead, he learned many lessons and understood why girls had to teach him the meaning of disguise.

Despite all the difficulties, Chuhua never went back to look for Xiangzi or the phone number the girl had given her. Eventually, she did find her way back to the right track. With her good looks and increasingly skilled guitar skills, she quickly attracted the attention of a talent scout.

After that, there was another round of tedious wrangling. Chuhua realized that she was just a tiny speck of dust in Tokyo now, so she made many compromises.

For example, the addition of sumimi, which is mainly based on the sweet style of girls. Chuhua knew that this would not be the style of music that Xiangzi liked. If possible, she would rather find a place that could help her stand by Xiangzi's side in daily activities.

Moreover, the work of an idol is more tiring than Chuhua had expected. Although she knows that this is actually normal, if it weren't for Mana who always uses her energetic state to encourage her, it might be even more difficult for her.

So usually Chuhua always has some implicit guilt towards Mana, because it is almost certain that he will leave Sumi in the future...

But it definitely won’t be and can’t be now.

Chuhua wouldn't let go until she'd absorbed enough nutrients for her own growth. So, while the addition of Qingchuan Xiang might seem like an unpredictable, unstable factor to the previously stable duo, if she could capitalize on his popularity, Sumi could leap forward, gaining more resources and improving her own status.

Chu Hua took a deep breath and a perfect smile appeared on his face again - when he showed this smile, Chu Hua would always think of the girl's smile. Although three years had passed, even the girl's face was no longer clear in his memory.

While Chuhua was adjusting his state, Qingchuan Xiang and Mana were also discussing the new song enthusiastically.

"If we're determined to stick with Sumimi's previous style, it won't take too long for Chuhua to compose the music." Mana looked at Kiyokawa Xiang, who was holding a bottle of mineral water beside her. "Does Xiang have any ideas for lyrics?"

"Do you want a theme for your song?" Kiyokawa Xiang was still excited and nodded after hearing Mana's question. "Most of the themes of Sumimi's previous songs are about love, right?"

"Yes, because everyone seems to be very interested in the topic of love, our songs with sweet love themes will be more popular."

At this time, Chu Hua also readjusted himself and joined the discussion: "Actually, before Xiao Xiang joined, I already had the idea for the new song."

Chu Hua's words naturally made Qingchuan Xiang look at her. When Chu Hua looked at him, her heart suddenly trembled.

It is this pair of eyes that appear to have no shadows on the surface and only remind people of the blue eyes of the sea, but underneath there are undercurrents. It is unclear how much these eyes can see that others are trying to hide.
