Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

"Xiao Mu, you didn't hear anything! Let me think about it and rephrase it... And Yanming, what are you looking at? Go away!"

Seemingly unable to hold back her own words any longer, she let out a mournful cry, crouched down, and clutched her head in a mixture of shame and anger, then emitted a strange, indescribable sound: "Goo-ah—"

Soon, Xiangzi realized that this wouldn't solve anything, so he got up and looked at Mu again in despair. The determined look in Xiangzi's eyes made Mu see a trace of an old friend in him.

"Mu!"

"...Here!" Mu Touren stood at attention, his whole body stiffening at Xiangzi's loud shout.

"I'll end your first love."

"I'm going to steal your boyfriend! I'm that kind of ruthless woman who'll stop at nothing to ruin other people's relationships! I'm selfish, jealous, unreasonable, and childishly capricious! So what! So what—"

how about it?

What else could she... do?

This is because this is the "Toyokawa Shoko" that Mutsu has always known...

"Welcome back... Xiang."

"You... idiot sister..." Xiangzi hugged Mu's waist, and tears of resentment finally spilled down her cheeks at those words. "Waaah... I was here first... why did it turn out like this... this is so unreasonable..."

"Xiang... even if I cry, I won't give it to you so easily." Although Mu wanted to comfort her, Xiang's previous words prevented him from doing so.

She had to follow Xiang's instructions and protect her boyfriend, preventing Xiang from succeeding.

This is what Xiang hoped for.

"I know! Of course I know!" Xiangzi stubbornly hugged Mu's waist, her grip so tight it seemed she wanted to crush her in two. "But I just wanted to cry... Before, when Chuhua and Miaomeng were still here, I was too embarrassed to cry, and I've been holding it in for so long... Waaah—"

Cry, cry...

Have a good cry

Release all your sadness and distress through tears and screams... that way, you'll be a completely new you tomorrow.

"We must... be together for life...!"

Mu looked up at the sky, and the stars had already emerged, their brilliance like countless eyes witnessing this scene.

Together for a lifetime...

Yanming had stopped walking at some point and turned around to look at the two people who were shedding tears.

lifetime……

"system."

[I'm here, Host.]

【I am always here. 】

"Is there any way... to let me live a little longer? I don't ask for too much... two or three years, one or two years is fine."

"Before I die... I want to figure out why I want to live in the first place."

The desire to survive swelled to its limit like never before, filling every corner of my heart, an uncontrollable throbbing... almost bursting my numb heart.

"Give me a little more time...just a little more time, I'll find it soon..."

"The meaning of living...the meaning of existing in this world."

"After that, I can die without any regrets."

You've finally agreed to talk to me.

This sentence has been waiting for a long time.

I promise I won't let you down...

Then it vanished, as if it had never existed, disappearing without a trace.

In Yanming's retina, the transparent panel that looked like a chat box gradually shattered, and in its place appeared a large countdown.

[28 days, 6 hours, 35 minutes...]

...A month?

As the countdown began, a message resembling a message popped into Yanming's mind.

[Host, if I haven't returned before this countdown ends... please temporarily leave their lives, go to the hospital for the best treatment, and continue to wait with hope.]

"...Wait for me to come back."

……

Since then, time seems to have sped up considerably.

First up is Mygo!!! Over there, led by Deng, their popularity at the live house is soaring, forming a sizable fan base.

Ai Yin's skills improved rapidly under Yan Ming's guidance, and even the strict Li Xi couldn't find many faults with them. However, her lazy attitude on the surface remained unchanged. In her own words, she enjoyed it... but in Yan Ming's eyes, it was more like a flirtatious display of affection.

Lixi stopped obsessively chasing after the figures ahead and instead focused more on the people around her, acting as a parent figure to the band members alongside Su Shi, worrying about the others.

Lenai is still the same as always. It's common for her to leave rehearsals early or not come at all, but that's Lenai after all. Everyone will forgive her and accept her shortcomings. She's just used to being free and easy, not that she doesn't really care about this place.

Su Shi……

Nagasaki Motoyo was still the same Nagasaki Motoyo, with hardly a smile on her face, and even when she did smile, it was a fake one. After Yanming and she cleared up their misunderstanding, they maintained a subtle understanding between them. Sometimes when Yanming visited her band, she would greet him very gently, which made Yanming feel a little uncomfortable... Why did he have a feeling that he wanted to call her "Mom"?

In any case

Their band is thriving, and there's not much for him to worry about anymore. They only occasionally need him to give them small suggestions about the future, which he's always happy to do.

But... on the other side

Ave Mujica's business development... seemed to have encountered some obstacles. Xiangzi often had a worried look on her face from time to time, and she would hurriedly try to hide it when she realized that someone was looking at her.

Yanming doesn't understand the ways of business. He's just an uneducated hoodlum. His most glorious moment was when he was a guitarist and lead singer.

If there's anything he can do to help... the biggest "number" he can offer is his past.

Sell ​​it cheaply for a small profit.

At present, this seems to be the perfect time.

"Hey, I'm here, where the hell are you? I'm asking you, where are you?"

Chapter 251 Numbers

"Almost there, almost there! Why are you rushing me to sleep in?" Miao Meng impatiently hung up Yan Ming's phone, adjusted her hat, and continued jogging towards the agreed location.

She put on a beautiful makeup look before going out today, and even wore a cute little dress.

If it weren't for these reasons, how could she have been late?

Push open the shop door

"Come on!"

As soon as she entered, several pairs of eyes swept towards her, and Miaomeng's expression froze.

"...Miss? Do you have an appointment?"

“Um… I’m looking for someone…” Miao Meng reluctantly gave Yan Ming’s name.

"You must be Miss Yutenji Wakana, this way please." The waiter led the way for Nyanmu.

The two walked through a magnificent corridor to its end, where a waiter opened a door: "This is it. Mr. Yanming is waiting for you inside."

Miao Meng looked at the waiter who was about to leave and asked, "Um... do you know what Yan Ming is planning to do?"

"I'm sorry, miss, our policy is not to disclose guests' information. Please ask that gentleman yourself." With that, the waiter left, leaving Miaomeng standing there alone.

Yanming didn't tell her why he had called her here. He told her to dress up nicely and formally because he had something very important to tell her.

He spoke in a rare serious tone, which startled Miaomeng so much that she didn't ask any further questions and quickly agreed, packing herself up and heading over in a flash.

...What exactly are we supposed to do?

Judging from the exterior of this shop... it looks a bit like a high-end luxury hotel. And this room...

"Hiss—" Miao Meng gasped, and various scenes of ○○○○ and ○○ immediately flashed through her mind.

"What are you standing at the door for? I've been waiting for you for ages, hurry up and come in." The door was opened a crack, and Yanming's impatient voice immediately pulled Miaomeng back to reality.

"Oh dear! Although I was indeed your fan before, being a ○ fan is not allowed!"

Yanming: "?"

This guy's imagination is as rich as ever.

Yanming opened the door and turned to show Miaomeng the room's layout.

"The equipment used for filming here is all the latest. If you need anything else, just let me know." After saying that, Yanming walked to the sofa in the room and sat down first.

“…Huh?” Miao Meng looked at the dazzling array of filming equipment in the room. Even as a professional internet celebrity, she was at a loss for what to do.

"What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Miao Meng shuddered, rubbed her hands together, and sat down opposite Yan Ming. She spoke in a rather ingratiating tone, "Um... Yan Ming, what exactly do you want me to do? Can you be a little clearer?"

Yanming brought two bottles of mineral water to Miaomeng from the side and explained, "You wanted me to record a video for you—you said something like that, right? I've thought about it for a while, and I've agreed."

"...Huh? But you didn't stop playing the guitar..."

"Even without a guitar, I can still sing. This is enough."

"Yan..."

"This face might not be very distinctive, but my voice should be enough to prove my identity." Yanming unscrewed the bottle cap and spoke calmly, "I'm asking you, do you want to become famous?"

He knew that Miaomeng had long harbored resentment towards Xiaoxiang's decisions regarding the band, and even though she had temporarily tolerated it for his sake, it was still a potential problem.

To prevent this girl from causing trouble for Xiao Xiang's band without his supervision, he decided to tie her to the band completely first.

"...Yanming, what do you mean by this?" Miaomeng noticed the seriousness in Yanming's tone and couldn't help but ask.

“Ave Mujica, if you want to maintain your current momentum and go further, it will take more than just hard work. What I’m saying… you, as a self-made internet celebrity, should know very well what I’m talking about.” Yanming handed a bag from the sofa to Miaomeng. “That door leads to a lounge. You can change into this outfit there.”

Miao Meng was startled, her keen senses instantly grasping the meaning behind Yan Ming's words.

A small opening was made in the bag, and sure enough, inside was the same performance outfit that Amoris had worn on stage, along with an identical mask.

"Amoris, one of the members of Avemujica who is currently generating a lot of buzz, is here to interview a conman who has disappeared from the public eye for a long time." Yanming put down his untouched water bottle and calmly looked at the stunned Miaomeng. "You should understand what this means."

flow.

An unprecedented and terrifying amount of traffic.

If Ave Mujica is a recently emerging and hot top-tier band, then what Yanming represents is no less than what Ave Mujica did a year ago, and even now.

...It could even be said that because he hasn't been active in the public eye for a long time, his core fans must be holding their breath. If they can be successfully ignited, the resulting traffic will be far more than just 1+1.

to be frank

Miao Meng was smitten.

Compared to the conditions Xiangzi had previously set for himself, what Yanming could offer was simply on a completely different level of abundance.

"Face" and "digital"?

That's far from all...

The benefits it can bring her are many times greater than the sum of all she has ever earned through her own efforts.

"Hey... Yanming, are you really... going to give this opportunity to Miaomeng?" Miaomeng asked, her voice trembling.

"Mind your place, Amoris... You understand the difference. This isn't a place for you to play mind games or try to be clever. Even if I didn't look for you, I could have gone to other members. Because we were comrades before, I'm giving you another chance." Yanming's tone turned icy. "Accept it? Or not?"

He was never a gentle person to begin with; his tumultuous past made Yanming more aware of the schemes and machinations among adults than any of his peers.

Yanming disdained that, so if Miaomeng insisted on going against his wishes, then they would no longer be companions.

"Yanming, you..."

"For the rest of the recording, please call me the lead singer of 'Eos,' thank you." Yanming ignored the complexity in her tone. "As for that title, you don't need to keep calling me that after this, right?"

If the reason Miaomeng was so enthusiastic in approaching him was because of those potential "numbers" about him...

After he loses all his value, to Miaomeng... he'll probably just be a slightly more familiar stranger.
