You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

Her fingers unconsciously twirled around the ends of her pink hair, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them: "Um... are Fengchuan-san and Xia-san... a couple?"

"Cough cough!" Sanjiao Chuxia, who was drinking coffee, suddenly choked, and a few drops of brown coffee stains instantly splashed on the lyrics book.

The tips of Toyokawa Shoko's ears were visibly red. "We're not that kind of relationship, huh?"

"Eh~" Chihaya Aine dragged out her tone, her eyes becoming more curious, "But you two look so close, and Xia-san even came to accompany you..."

(I just sat here and didn't say a word. How did you know that Xiaoxiang and I were close?)

"Xiao Xiang and I are childhood sweethearts." Before Toyokawa Shoko could speak, Sankaku Hatsuka answered first, "I'm here to find a quiet place to write lyrics. Meeting you is just a coincidence."

"I see..." Chihaya Aine nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh right! What's the name of Toyokawa-san's band?"

The rain outside the window meandered down the glass, blurring the outline of the street outside. Toyokawa Shoko's fingertips tapped lightly on the empty coffee cup, making a subtle sound.

"My band...disbanded a long time ago."

The sound of rain suddenly became clearer. Triangle Chuxia's pen rested on the lyrics book, the ink casting a small shadow on the paper.

Chihaya Aine realized that she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked, and the ends of her pink hair drooped: "I'm sorry... I don't know..."

"It's okay, it happened a long time ago."

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, her blue hair glowing softly under the indoor light. "I'll be ready on Saturday. Is it okay for the class to be here?"

"Of course!" She nodded immediately, her long pink hair swaying.

Sanjiao Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief and closed the lyrics book that was stained by coffee.

………………

ps: Maybe there won’t be anon sauce saying “how about my C chord” in the future (sad)

Chapter 190: Xia, go find Xiao Deng

"Then I'll go make you a new cup of coffee."

"No need." Toyokawa Shoko gently pressed his wrist, "It's getting late, I should go back."

Her fingertips felt slightly cool, like the rain falling outside the window. Sanjiao Chuxia noticed that her clothes were a little thin today: "Let me take you there. The rain seems to be getting heavier."

"Eh~" Chihaya Aine suddenly made a meaningful sound, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, "You still say we're not a couple~"

Toyokawa Shoko quickly withdrew her hand, and the tips of her ears turned red again: "It's just on the way!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Chihaya Aine smiled and put on her schoolbag. "Then I'll be leaving first! See you on Saturday, Mr. Toyokawa!"

She pushed the door open and left. The crisp sound of wind chimes mixed with the sound of rain came, and the store returned to silence.

"Xiaoxiang." Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

Shoko Toyokawa, who was looking at her umbrella from her bag, looked at him with some confusion.

"What do you think of [Personaction]... Never mind, just ignore me."

Just after saying half of it, Sankaku Hatsuka gave up the idea of ​​inviting Toyokawa Shoko to join [Personaction]——

(Xiaoxiang's band should be centered around her, full of her personality, not a band like Personaction that is connected because of me.)

"It's really hard to tell someone half the story." She sighed helplessly, but didn't intend to ask further questions. "Have you packed everything?"

"Well, let's go."

He naturally took the umbrella from Toyokawa Shoko's hand, opened it, and shielded both of them from the rain.

Their shadows gradually lengthened on the wet road, melting into the rain curtain. The space under the umbrella was small, and the girl could smell the faint aroma of coffee on Sanjiao Chuxia.

"How's the writing of Xia's new song going?" Toyokawa Shoko asked softly.

The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella was like some strange rhythm. Sanjiao Chuxia tilted the umbrella slightly towards her, and her right shoulder was already slightly wet.

"The lyrics are stuck at the chorus." He smiled wryly and shook his head, "I always feel like something is missing."

Toyokawa Shoko looked down at their reflections in the puddle and asked, "Is this a song you want to write for someone?"

"Yeah—sort of. I want to write a song about 'bonds'."

"'Bonds'?" she repeated softly, her voice almost drowned out by the sound of the rain. "A subject this broad is actually hard to write about in detail."

"But for me, the difficult part is how to express this feeling through lyrics."

There was no need to hesitate or doubt about the object of the emotion he wanted to write into the lyrics. What was bothering Sanka Hatsuka now was that his lyric writing skills were not enough to fully write it down as lyrics.

A taxi drove slowly through the rain, its headlights casting long streaks of light on the wet road. Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stopped and looked up at his rain-soaked shoulders.

"The umbrella is crooked." She said softly, reaching out to push the umbrella handle towards him.

This action brought the two of them closer. Sanjiao Chuxia could see the tiny water droplets on her eyelashes, like morning dew.

The rain is still as fine as a thread, shrouding the world in a haze.

"Xia, go find Xiao Deng."

A sentence that sounded a little incomprehensible suddenly came out of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth.

"Ah?" Sanjiao Chuxia was slightly stunned.

"I mean, if you don't know how to write lyrics, you can go find Xiao Deng and try." She suddenly stopped and looked into his eyes. "Xiao Deng... although she's usually very introverted, she's very good at expressing her feelings when writing lyrics."

After hearing Shoko Toyokawa's suggestion, he recalled Crychic's "Spring Shadow", a song written by Takamatsu Tomo. The mood changes and emotional progression reflected in the lyrics are indeed outstanding.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang, I will consider it."

"As long as I can help Xia."

The rain gradually subsided, and before they knew it, they had reached the alleyway near Toyokawa Shoko's home. The streetlights cast a dim glow through the rain and mist, illuminating the slightly dated building ahead.

………………

After returning home, Sanjiao Chuxia leaned the umbrella against the wall. Water droplets dripped from the tip of the umbrella to the ground, forming a small water stain.

Sitting on the sofa, he opened the lyrics book again, on which there were still many crossed-out lyrics.

Sanjiao Chuxia picked up the pen and gently wrote the word "bond" on the paper, but felt that these two words were too heavy, as if they carried too many unspeakable emotions.

He frowned, recalling those moments related to "bonds". The images were extremely clear, but the inspiration was like a kite with a broken string, and he couldn't catch it.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided, and the occasional chirping of cicadas filled the night. Sanjiao Chuxia stared at the lyrics she'd been revising repeatedly on the paper, then suddenly tore off the entire page and crumpled it into a ball.

"It still doesn't work..."

He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

At this moment, the sound of keys turning came from the door, accompanied by familiar footsteps.

"I'm back." Sanjiao Chuhua's voice came from the entrance, with a little fatigue.

"Welcome back." Sanjiao Chuxia stood up and walked to the entrance, taking the bag from her hand. "Are you tired from work today?"

Sanjiao Chuhua shook her head and leaned on his shoulder: "It's okay, it's just that the filming time is a bit delayed."

The faint scent of styling spray lingered in her hair, mingling with the scent of rain. Triangle Hatsuxia gently stroked her back, feeling the warmth of her body through the thin fabric of her clothing.

"Would you like to take a shower first?"

"Hmm..." She raised her head and suddenly leaned close to his neck and sniffed, "Xia, you and Xiaoxiang were very close today, weren't you?"

(Can you smell this?)

Sanjiao Chuxia lowered her head and smelled the smell on her body with some suspicion, but did not find any difference.

Seeing his lover's reaction, Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How can I smell it? I'm not a dog."

As she spoke, her hand gently stroked the other person's cheek and neck: "Because Xia didn't bring an umbrella, I guessed that Xia and Xiaoxiang came back under the same umbrella, so I tricked you a little."

Sanjiao Chuxia sighed helplessly: "You guessed it and you're still smiling so happily. If you let your guard down any longer, your boyfriend will cheat on you."

"That's fine too. Why don't you just bring Xiaoxiang home? Then we can go as a threesome."

"I really don't know what you're thinking about every day..."

"No, I'm serious." Sanjiao Chuhua interrupted him and gently teased his skin with her fingers. "If you don't believe me, ask me when I...? I will only tell you the truth then..."

(That’s why I can’t concentrate on writing lyrics at home!)

………………

P.S.: As I was writing, I suddenly found a reason to contact Xiao Deng. I am such a genius! (

Chapter 191 Thank you, Xiao Deng

Sanjiao Chuxia sat at his desk, the light from his phone screen reflected on his slightly tired face. His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard:

UIKA: Xiaodeng, are you free these days?

After sending the message, he put down his phone and rubbed his temples.

Sanjiao Chuhua had fallen into a deep sleep after exercising, and although Sanjiao Chuxia was equally tired, he finally had time to calm down and think about the lyrics from now until night.

(It’s not too late now, Xiao Deng should still be awake, right?)

Not long after, the phone vibrated twice.

Tomori: ...Yes.

Tomori: Hatsuka, what's going on?

He immediately picked up his phone and quickly replied:

UIKA: Xiao Deng, I have some questions about lyrics that I would like to ask you!

Tomori: Lyrics?

Sanka Hatsuka was about to reply, but suddenly remembered that she seemed not to have told Takamatsu Deng that she had formed a new band.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to tell the truth.

UIKA: Actually, I formed a new band called Personaction. I'm currently preparing a new song, but I got stuck midway through writing the lyrics...

After sending this message, Sanjiao Chuxia stared at the screen nervously.

Ever since Crychic disbanded, everyone in the group chat has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the topic of "band", and a big part of the reason is to take care of this somewhat introverted girl.

The reply message came not long after.

Tomori: I know, Riki-chan told me...

Tomori: I watched the video of Hatsuka's performance

Tomori: ...very impressive

Seeing this, Sanjiao Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to continue typing, another message came.

Tomori: Hatsuka, why did you ask me for advice on writing lyrics?

UIKA: The lyrics of "Spring Shadow" were written by Xiao Deng, right? I really like the lyrics of "Spring Shadow" and want to write lyrics like this that can express emotions.

Tomori: …

Tomori: I'm not very good at teaching...

Looking at this message, Sanjiao Chuxia could almost see Gao Songdeng lowering his head and twisting his fingers. He sighed softly and tapped his finger on the screen:

UIKA: It’s okay, I just want to listen to Xiao Deng’s ideas.

UIKA: Is that okay?

The message was quickly shown as read, but there was no reply.

Just when he was about to give up, Takamatsu Deng finally sent a reply.

Tomori: ...Okay.

UIKA: How about tomorrow after school?

UIKA: At the Hanezawa Café.
