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

Suddenly, Yanming put on a kind-hearted act and said, "How about this, I'm a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see young girls hurt and sad. How about I give you some advice?"

"……Eh?"

How could this person possibly...?

Yanming continued speaking, seemingly oblivious to everything else, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself: "Later, I'll send a message to tell them to meet at Ring. Then, I'll help you get rid of everyone else, including Xiangzi, so you can have a proper talk with Deng about your respective opinions on that band..."

"Don't joke around! How could you possibly be so kind!"

Yanming clapped his hands lightly and said calmly, "In your eyes, am I the villain who broke up your band?"

"That kind of thing...does it even need to be said!"

Su Shi gritted her teeth, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Yan Ming was no longer just simple disgust.

"But I'm just trying to keep my band together. If I'm a villain, then what is Nagasaki-kun? Your goal is to rebuild Crychic, but regardless of success or failure, the first thing you need to do is break up my band, right?"

"..."

Having said all that, Yanming saw no need to say anything more.

He stood up, leaving only his last words:

“One of the lanterns will come looking for you in five minutes. Use this time to think of what to say. Take care of yourself, Nagasaki Motoyo.”

After saying that, seeing that Su Shi was deep in thought, he nodded in satisfaction, then turned and quickly walked out of the room.

But what Yanming didn't expect was...

"No, Wakaba-kun, what are you doing following me?"

Yanming asked the short cucumber spirit beside him in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

Chapter 81 The parents came knocking.

"You... Yanming, what you did was wrong..."

"..."

“You lied to Su Shi… Xiang has mentioned you to me more than once, so you must know what happened to Xiang… You also know that Crychic can never be resurrected…”

Ruo Yemu was somewhat incoherent.

She wasn't good at expressing herself, but Yanming was surprisingly able to understand what she was trying to convey.

"That's not how it is, Ruoye. I can't tell that child the truth all at once; she wouldn't be able to handle it."

Yanming gently leaned down, just as he had with Lena, and only continued speaking after making sure his gaze was level with hers. "You should know that I didn't tell her a single lie. I just misunderstood Nagasaki Motoyo by concealing the truth and changing the order. Now we just need to wait for Akari to come and clarify things. After my intervention, you Crychic members can still continue to be friends in the future."

"But...why do we have to use this method?"

"You ask why... Look at Ruoye, Su Shi was in that state just now. Isn't it quite difficult to get her to calm down and have a proper conversation with Akari or Xiangzi?"

A massive amount of emotion can influence a person's personality in a very short time, causing that individual to be controlled by their emotions.

Negative emotions can completely destroy the image a person has built up over time, hurting not only themselves but also their cherished companions.

Yanming knew this all too well.

"But now? Her condition is much better, right? I can simply transfer all her negative emotions onto me with words, and then when she faces her companions, she will become the Nagasaki Motoyo you all know, at least she will be able to think and communicate normally."

"..."

"Looking at it from the perspective of gains and losses alone, isn't this a very good approach?"

"……you're right."

Mu Xin didn't actually agree with this approach, but she couldn't think of a way to refute Yan Ming.

So she chose to comply.

Seeing that he had persuaded her, Yanming waved his hand as he left, saying, "Go back quickly. That child is still filled with a lot of sadness. She needs you to be with her more than I do... Say more things that she likes to hear, try to comfort her, and don't let her get hurt anymore."

Mu stood there, watching the young man's figure slowly disappear into the darkness, before finally going back into the room.

"...Soyo."

Su Shi stepped forward and nervously grabbed Mu's shoulder: "Xiao Mu, has that person left?"

"...He's gone."

Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still some lingering fatigue between her brows, just as Yanming said, she did look much better than before.

But what will be the cost?

"Soyo... Yanming, he's not a bad person..."

Mu himself wasn't sure why he said those words; perhaps he didn't want the misunderstanding between the two of them to deepen further.

Su Shi frowned: "I just don't want to hear Xiao Mu say that."

The bassist standing next to Xiaoxiang and Deng is undoubtedly the enemy hindering Crychic's resurrection; he himself said so.

……

As soon as Rinrinko saw Yanming come out, she immediately greeted him, "Ah, Mr. Yanming, have you finished your business?"

"Well, thank you very much."

Yanming nodded, then found a seat and said, "Miss Rinrin, please have an egg pudding, it's on me."

"Thank you~ It's really comfortable to be around someone as gentle and understanding as Mr. Yanming."

Rinrin smiled, clearly pleased.

Yanming took out his phone and sent the news of finding Su Shi to his companions before continuing the conversation with the shop assistant: "Perhaps. Miss Rinrin is the first girl to describe me like that."

Rinko Maji covered her slightly flushed face: "Mmm..."

……wrong!

I was so engrossed in chatting with Mr. Yanming that I almost forgot about the important matter!

"By the way, Mr. Yanming, what about Xiao Le Nai's..."

"Yan Mingsang."

A distinctive, aged voice suddenly rang out behind Yanming, "Where's your guitar?"

"Ah, boss..."

Shifune Tsuzuki raised her hand, interrupting Rinrinko: "I'm no longer the boss. I'm just here to see this young man today. I even missed Rakuna's live performance because of what happened on the way."

"It's been a long time, Ms. Tsuzuki."

Yanming stood up from his chair and showed respect to this senior colleague.

"So, where's your guitar, Yanming-san?"

Du Zhushichuan was very persistent about this issue.

She had a brief encounter with Yanming before, but that one meeting left a very deep impression on Tsuzuki Shisen with Yanming's guitar.

"Why didn't you bring that guitar with you? It has such a long name."

Shisen Tsuzuki still remembers how that boy confidently and arrogantly told her the name of the guitar he was holding, and unceremoniously called her "old lady from the old era".

The inexperienced newcomer was naturally given a good lesson by the senior with his most prized guitar.

So when Yanming saw this old lady again, he felt a little uneasy, especially since she was Le Nai's grandmother, and he had practically kidnapped her precious granddaughter...

"...Before today, I hadn't picked up a guitar at a live performance for a long time."

Yanming answered the other party's questions honestly.

"That's it, then..."

Tsuzuki Shisen looked at this young man he had high hopes for and asked, "Did you do your best?"

"I……"

Before he could speak, Tsuzuki Shisen snorted and said, "Forget it, why should I talk about trying my best with a brat like you? If you don't kill yourself at the live show, then you've already had a bad day."

The guitarist risked his life.

That's so rock and roll! It'll definitely make him famous throughout the country.

By then, his status in the rock world will surpass his own.

"Haha...you mean..."

Yanming scratched his head sheepishly.

Rinrinko, who was watching this scene from the side, was completely dumbfounded.

The stern, serious, and ruthless Space boss she knew was actually chatting with Mr. Yanming in such a teasing tone?!

Yanming chuckled and tried to appease this very difficult senior colleague: "Ms. Tsuzuki, it's been almost two years since we last met, and you still look so energetic. I'm really happy about that."

"You're too happy now. I'm here to cause you trouble."

Yanming: "..."

Thank you.

"You little brat, do you know what Lena said to me as soon as she got home yesterday?"

Tsuzuki Shisen sneered, his gaze chilling. "She said she found a man outside."

Renai—!!!

You've ruined my life!

Meanwhile, Le Nai, whom Yanming was thinking about, was still on her way back with Xiangzi and the others.

The cat's ears twitched, then it tilted its head: "...Yanming? (Without concern)"

Chapter 82 The band should not be a shackle.

"Please let me explain... This is a huge misunderstanding."

“There is no misunderstanding here, Yanming-san.”

Du Zhushichuan raised his hand, interrupting Yanming's pale explanation, "I may not know you as a person, but I know my granddaughter. I watched her grow up."

Shisen Tsuzuki's expression turned serious: "I can tell that Rakuna has chosen you as her new Space."

"...?"

However, upon closer reflection, Yanming realized that Le Nai was indeed more clingy to him than others.

"You've noticed too, haven't you? Well then, on behalf of her parents, I entrust Lena to you, Yanming-san."

Yanming instinctively wanted to refuse.

How could you be so hasty? You should at least have asked Lena's opinion first...

"Lena is a very talented guitarist, and her personality is very pure, just like you back then. She simply plays the guitar because she likes it."

Tsuzuki Shisen continued to speak, forcing Yanming to swallow his refusal, "But compared to you, she still didn't try hard enough, 'stray cat'...is that what those people call her?"

"Lena has been like this since she was a child. Her overly comfortable and relaxed upbringing has made her the way she is now. If things could continue like this, it wouldn't be a big deal. But, as you know, this is what happened later."

Space went bankrupt, leaving stray cats homeless.

Just because she doesn't say it doesn't mean she doesn't care.

“After that, Lena became lost. I tried all sorts of methods to help her get back on her feet, but her obsession was deeper than I had imagined. Lena… she wanted a home like Space so badly.”

"Yanming-san, have you thought of anything?"

"That's right, just like you back then, obsessed with finding warmth that can last a lifetime. But the difference is, you were sixteen back then, while Lena is only fourteen now."

"The road ahead of her will be even longer than yours."

"So, I don't want you to provide Lena with a place to stay indefinitely, but rather to teach her..."

"The place to stay is not important; what is truly important is the bond you form with the people you play with. That is the key."

Duzhu Shisen is no longer a young person like Yanming and his friends, but no one is born an adult; she was young once too.
