Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

Just kidding, Mingze Feng is a little melancholy, but it's not like he's going to become a son-in-law.

Surprisingly, after hearing Toyokawa Shoko's words, Naruzawa Kaede did feel much better. Just like before, Naruzawa Kaede spoke into the phone.

"Then I'll take care of you. It's not like I haven't taken care of others before..."

"Hmm, it seems Mr. Feng is just tired. Please get some sleep. I haven't been staying up late lately... Hmm?"

"Kasumi-senpai said you're still in London, right? What time is it in London now?"

Toyokawa Shoko's voice rose several octaves, "Two o'clock?!"

Before Mingze Feng could even speak, Toyokawa Shoko's voice was already incessant.

"What did you tell me before! I noticed last time that you seemed a bit lacking in energy, was it because you stayed up all night!"

"I..."

"Anyway, I'll exercise more. If you don't want this to happen again, please go to sleep now. Remember to take a nap at noon. And don't stay up late afterwards. It'll be morning when you wake up now, so remember to eat lunch... I'll go for a run this afternoon, take a shower, and go to bed early..."

Mingze Feng opened his mouth, but then obediently closed it.

Toyokawa Shoko was the real mother...

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Oops?" Oh no, I blurted out what was on my mind.

"Hmph, I know you think I'm nagging... I need to get back to rehearsals... You're still in London, right?"

"Yeah... just wandering around here, and maybe even serving as a brick to be moved wherever it's useful..."

After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Mingze Feng took a deep breath and patted his face. Then he strode away from the hospital.

In the hospital room, Chihaya Aine's phone lit up beside her pillow; it was a farewell text message from Narusawa Kaede.

......

At 2 a.m., London's Chinatown was still awake. The city never lacked nightlife, and the dim lights, after being reflected several times, even gave the neon lights a slightly hazy appearance.

After her experience of wandering the streets of London, Eliza Shimizu did a lot of research on where to go in London at dawn, and this street is the perfect place the two of them found together.

K-Box Karaoke doesn't need to go into any alleys; in fact, he's quite conspicuous.

Once you're here, communication won't be a problem. Well, that's the main reason why Mingze Feng didn't go anywhere else.

Mingze Feng doesn't go to bars often. Maybe he could still go back to the hotel he booked at this time, but right now he's not sleepy, a little hungry, and his hands are itching.

I want to play the piano, I want to sing.

The reason for coming here is that simple.

Inside the store, he swiped his card, received the key card, and casually grabbed a cup of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). In addition to the fruit platter, they even provided peanuts. Mingze Feng glanced at them a few more times, ordered a plate, and then walked deeper into the corridor.

The room wasn't big, but the soundproofing was good. The karaoke system was all touchscreen, and the song library supported Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, showing that this city has all kinds of people, and all kinds of songs are likely to be sung.

Mingze Feng didn't turn on the lights, letting the neon screen glow in the dark.

The first song I requested was "Let It Be".

After sitting down, he adjusted the volume and played a few chords when the microphone started to howl.

Mingze Feng simply turned off his microphone and started humming to himself.

"When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me..."

As he was singing, he suddenly remembered the phone call he had just received.

Toyokawa Shoko's voice still echoed in my ears: "You were already struggling last time, did you stay up all night again?"

Ming Zefeng chuckled softly, suppressing the thought that he truly wanted to say, "You are my mother."

Then he requested a second song – "Your Appearance".

Perhaps it was left by the previous guest. As soon as Mingze Feng finished, he saw this song.

"I heard someone's voice coming from there, like the babbling brook in a dream."

......

......

"You remain unchanged, standing tall in this vast world."

The music from the bar outside grew louder, and the door to the room shook slightly, as if someone was approaching. Mingze Feng didn't turn around; he simply continued playing.

Chapter 16 Even in London, one must dance.

As another song ended, applause erupted from behind.

Mingze Feng didn't know why the door here didn't lock automatically, so he looked back.

She is a young woman named Shiina Maki.

She wore a white shirt and trousers as a base layer, with a long black coat draped over her shoulders. Perhaps it was the clothes, but her chest appeared high and prominent, making one worry that the buttons might pop open at any moment.

At this moment, the woman with long, straight black hair was leaning against the doorframe, clapping her hands back and forth in front of her chest. Her arms were pressing against her chest, and her white shirt was stretched taut by her movements, making one wonder if she was having difficulty breathing.

At this moment, Mingze Feng had only one thought: Why is it her again?

"You've been following me?" Mingze Feng asked in surprise.

Shiina Maki stopped clapping and rolled her eyes at Narusawa Kaede.

"I never realized you were so narcissistic. How many abnormal women must you have met to react like this—"

"Little Maki, you're here... huh?"

Before Shiina Maki could finish speaking, Junda Mana's head popped out from beside her.

Junta Mana reached out with both hands to grab Shiina Maki's face from behind. But before she could reach Shiina Maki's face, Junta Mana met Narusawa Kaede's gaze.

"Eh, Mr. Kaede?" Junda Mana opened her mouth in surprise, her hand frozen in mid-air.

Mingze Feng raised his hand and greeted her.

"Good evening...good morning. You two are really something, always so full of energy."

"Absolutely not..."

Shiina Maki and Junda Mana both sighed.

"I'm used to all sorts of activities during the day and practicing late into the night." "Yeah, yeah, Maki-nee said it, I totally understand..."

Junta Mana and Shiina Maki began to complain about their lives, one sentence at a time: busy daily routines, tedious practice, quirky friends or younger sisters, and...

Cherish each other?

For some reason, this word popped into Mingze Feng's head.

Shiina Maki and Junta Mana arrived together. According to Shiina Maki, Junta Mana hogged the microphone for two hours after arriving, and when she came out for some fresh air, she unexpectedly ran into Narusawa Kaede.

Although it was a chance encounter, none of the three minded squeezing in together.

Junta Mana is fine as long as she has a microphone; perhaps that's what's called a karaoke hog. Narusawa Kaede doesn't care about that; he came here to relieve his worries, and now that his worries are almost gone, having two pretty girls with him is even better.

Although Shiina Maki didn't recognize the wine bottle on the table, she reached out her hand upon seeing the clear, watery liquid.

"Feng, you were secretly drinking alone, you're not being honest at all..."

"Wait a minute, don't pour so much. Let's see if you can drink it first..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Shiina Maki narrowed her eyes, "Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm a college student."

Mingze Feng sat back down and watched as she poured herself a full glass.

Fortunately, Mingze Feng had only prepared two-ounce cups.

Mingze Feng revealed a look of anticipation, as if he were watching a good show.

Music played in the room, and on the other side of the sofa, Mana Junda swayed cutely, holding a microphone in both hands.

"For I'm as free as a bird now"

"and this bird you cannot change"

Maki Shiina picked up her cup.

"So, Feng, what happened that you came here alone to drink and sing so late at night...? It's okay if you don't want to say, but as your boss, I can't let you drink alone for the sake of my homework this semester."

"Come on, have a drink with your older sister~ Ah..." As the cup approached her lips, Shiina Maki frowned slightly, "The flavor is a bit strong..."

Just a sip...

After all, it's 56-degree Red Star Erguotou.

For Maki Shiina, who had never tasted strong liquor before, the smell was quite pungent.

Mingze Feng's words seemed to have aroused her dissatisfaction, perhaps because she had a little bit of face-saving as an elder...

"Stop it—uh..."

"Holy crap, wait a minute!"

Shiina Maki tilted her head back and sullen.

When Naruzawa Kaede grabbed her arm, Shiina Maki was already frowning and swallowing the wine in her mouth while trying to suppress her discomfort.

"Ah—it's not... ah..."

She had barely uttered two words when a sudden burning sensation rose in Shiina Maki's chest. With each exhale, the scalding sensation traveled from her stomach through her esophagus to her mouth.

That handsome, slightly aloof face, tinged with a hint of arrogance, turned crimson in an instant. Tears welled in the corners of his tightly closed eyes, beneath his furrowed brows.

"Haa...ah..."

Her mouth was agape, making it impossible for her to utter a complete sentence. With conscious exhalation, her once vibrant red lips were now coated with a glistening film, and saliva involuntarily dripped out.

"This... is so white... spicy... ah... hot..."

"Wait, chew this, listen to me, chew first..."

Naruzawa Kaede grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table and covered Shiina Maki's mouth. Shiina Maki wanted to spit out the food that had been suddenly thrown at her, but her mouth was already covered. Her lips, her tongue...

Junda Mana stopped singing and stared in disbelief at the scene.

Shiina Maki rolled her eyes at Narusawa Kaede and chewed hard on the peanut in her mouth. Narusawa Kaede then let go of her hand and took a glass of water from her.

Maki Shiina crunched on peanuts. The spiciness in her mouth subsided quickly, but her chest and stomach felt incredibly hot. The intoxication wasn't coming on so fast.

But Shiina Maki felt her whole body burning up.

His arms instinctively pressed against the collar of his white shirt, about to be unbuttoned.

Mingze Feng met her gaze, shrugged, and then sat down some distance away.

"Ms. Mana~ I'm leaving this overconfident college student to you."

"Who's overestimating themselves!...Hey, you're still laughing! Hah..."

Shiina Maki managed to utter a cry, followed by even louder panting. To be honest, the sound was somewhat suggestive.

The girl's blushing said a lot, especially her flushed face and shouting manner.

Junda Mana felt that her usually poised and confident older sister had suddenly become much cuter.

Even Junda Mana couldn't help but laugh.

He handed the water glass that Narusawa Kaede had brought to Shiina Maki.

Junda Mana: "Don't be so stubborn next time, Mana-nee~"

"I said no..."

"Mmm... Ah, Brother Feng brought over another cup..."

Maki Shiina swallowed the entire glass of water without any hesitation.

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Naruzawa Kaede wiped his guitar, chuckling softly. Judging from the way Junta Mana's words were so sarcastic, she's definitely a black sheep inside.

However, compared to playing the piano alone late at night, the presence of two other people, though a bit noisy, creates a lively atmosphere, pleasant sounds, and attractive appearances that make it easy to relax.

The best way to relax is still physical contact or something... but never mind.

To this day, Mingze Feng has no intention of getting drunk again.
