"Hey~ Xiao Aiyin, how was your practice today? Did you enjoy the guitar tutorial video I recommended?"
After answering the phone, China continued the previous conversation.
"China, thank you for calling this afternoon. I was worried that you would be depressed because of what happened at home, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly and still care about us."
Aiyin's tone was filled with relief and gratitude.
Then, she said somewhat hastily:
"Wait a moment, Xiaodeng wants to talk to you."
The phone quickly emitted a light: "No need... Xiao Ai will do..."
"It's okay, here you go," Aiyin interrupted, handing the phone to Deng.
After some more noisy scraping sounds from the phone, and a few words of polite refusal between Aiyin and Deng, Deng finally took the phone shyly.
She tilted her head slightly and held the phone to her ears with both hands.
"China, um..."
Deng stammered, her mind filled with many thoughts, but she couldn't express them for the time being.
Aiyin then walked to the lamp and mouthed instructions on how to start the conversation.
"Are you feeling better today?" Deng asked.
"I feel pretty good today. I don't think I have any symptoms." China replied in a light tone.
"That's great..." Deng finally relaxed.
"correct"
China remembered something the two of them might have been too embarrassed to mention because she was in the hospital.
That included the guitar and spoken language lessons I taught Ai Yin, and the singing lessons I taught Deng.
"By the way, if you don't mind, I can come over and give you some suggestions during your practice."
"Please come visit often, Ms. China!" Aine invited, leaning closer to the microphone.
"?..."
The lamp paused for a moment, then agreed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Chizuru."
There was one more thing that Akari wanted to ask China, but because it involved some secrets, she would have to save it for when she and China talked about it privately.
This time, China ended the conversation with satisfaction.
She thought that if she went to the band's practice room to give pointers... no, to provide guidance and help, she could feel the band atmosphere and have a sense of participation. Also, since she wouldn't be the one rehearsing or performing, the pressure wouldn't be so great.
Then, almost at the same moment, Muhe Deng sent a message.
Mu: "I really liked your old songs."
Lamp: "China, will the songs continue to be updated?"
On her first day of school, China discovers that Akari is a fan of the original owner's music account—as evidenced by the support illustrations she drew in her notebook.
Chika then told Akari that she was the account owner and asked her not to make this public.
At that time, Akari said that she felt a heavy sense of sorrow and despair from China's most recently released song, which was full of the meaning of "severance".
Then, Akari asked another question that was tricky for China and difficult to answer directly: "Will you continue updating?"
Because China doesn't write songs in the experimental style that the original owner did, and there's no similar style in her memories of her past life, she can be described as unique.
Considering that the original owner's last song was released only seven days ago, China analyzed the two sentences that Akari said and deduced that Akari was not really urging for updates, but was worried that China might have the idea of "cutting off herself".
After all, he ended his own life, and that's when he stopped updating.
So, China's reply at the time was, "I will live well," and Akari was relieved.
Now, the lamp asked the question again.
This time, the original account hasn't released a new song for fourteen days.
China believes that this time, the lamp is really urging for more updates.
Moreover, Mu also really liked the songs written by the original owner.
China's eyes darted around, and she looked back at herself in the mirror.
"You want me to come out of seclusion?" The figure in the mirror put his hands in his pockets and raised an eyebrow. "No, I just want to observe from the sidelines."
"So you really don't want to..."
China lowered her head, but her expression was not too dejected.
After all, the original account owner informed Deng Hemu of the situation, which was their own action, and they had to bear the consequences themselves.
So, China's idea is to deal with it for now.
Her reply to the lamp was: "Updates are uncertain, but I will keep living, so maybe one day I'll update again."
Mutsumi only mentioned liking the older songs and didn't urge for more updates, so China didn't bring up the issue of updates either, simply saying, "Thank you for your approval."
If I had to give a perfect answer, it would be to continue updating on the original account and then incorporate some elements from the original account's songs into the songs I send to Mu.
Unfortunately, China isn't a very diligent person when she's not in her agitated phase.
Always trying to increase others' goodwill towards you, but the methods you use are so perfunctory. For example, the AI report you gave to the lamp was almost seen by the students around you when the lamp was placed on the table last time.
Thankfully, the wonderful Aiyin noticed something amiss in time, took the report off the table, and even forgave me…
It's unclear whether the lamp genuinely failed to recognize that it was written by AI, or whether it knew the truth but kept it to itself.
However, plagiarism is an exception.
The song given to Mu this time is, in Mu's view, a carefully composed and heartfelt gift.
It's enough if others think you've put a lot of thought into it... There's no need to put in more effort to create something original, and it might not even please them.
Just as China was beginning to doubt herself, another voice rang out.
"Gifts are just one way to express your feelings. They help to establish goodwill in the early stages, which then allows for deeper interaction."
The figure in the mirror emerged, sat on the sink next to Chizuru, crossed its legs, and continued to comfort her.
"You successfully helped the lamp, giving her the courage to sing again. That's your greatest contribution, not that AI report."
"Now, you want to help Mu break free from the constraints of her family. Before that, there's no problem at all in giving her a copied song that would never have been discovered as a gift."
This reassurance made China feel more at ease.
She chuckled and said, "Does this mean that only drastic measures can reveal a compassionate heart?"
"That meaning is still a bit off."
The original owner coldly retorted.
"Anyway, you genuinely want to help them. Compared to that, the effort you put into the gifts really doesn't matter."
“Hmm…” China replied expressionlessly, “Then do you need me to update your account for you? I can slowly learn your style.”
"No need," the figure beside him quickly replied, "Just do your job."
China nodded, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
The original owner didn't leave a single petition.
The note that told me to shine on stage, no matter what.
Even now, people around her like her songs, and she remains steadfast in her decision to stop updating...
I just want to be free to do what I want.
Since it's about freedom...
Regardless of the song written for Mu.
It's just a random copy of a heavy metal song;
I'll select relevant parts from the melodies of various songs in my memory and create a mashup.
Or perhaps the lyrics are associated with harmony.
You can choose for yourself.
Before that, she needed to confirm one thing with Muna.
In other words, is she willing to take certain risks in pursuit of freedom?
Xiangzi said she would confirm this matter.
China didn't know what the difference would be between confirming this herself and having Shoko confirm it.
Perhaps out of trust in her childhood friend, if she had any thoughts of escaping family control, she would prioritize telling Xiangzi.
It's also possible that, for the sake of avoiding risks, they didn't tell anyone the truth, but silently planned a solution in their hearts.
…………
The next morning.
On a suburban road, two motorcyclists met at an intersection and gave each other a thumbs-up.
"Hey," Yimu called out to Hailing, "Are you going to RiNG? I heard you're playing bass in over 30 bands, are you really managing all that..."
"If anyone wants to buy a motorcycle, I'll go meet them."
Hailing also answered another question.
"There are only a dozen or so bands that are still active now. It's definitely better to choose a more stable fund than to invest in a lot of scattered investments."
"Ha, what are you beating around the bush for?" Yimu laughed heartily. "Are you planning to join a commercial band?"
"I guess so……"
After parting ways with Yimu, Hailing headed towards a previously agreed-upon location.
The area has low traffic volume and a variety of road types, making it suitable for demonstrations.
Gradually, two similar figures appeared in front of Hailing.
After stopping in front of the two, she took off her helmet, revealing a wolf tail with shoulder-length black hair, followed by sharp, emerald green eyes.
"Hello."
Chapter 141 The True Colors Are Revealed
"Wow……"
Chinatsu was deeply attracted by this scene.
The moment Hailing took off her helmet, her composed face and her neat red and black cycling outfit exuded an indescribable sense of reliability.
Complementing Hai Ling's beauty is the Honda CG125 that she rides for decades, a sturdy and durable vehicle that has been popular throughout China. It is also painted in a striking red and black color scheme.
Unconsciously, China moved forward, leaving the sunshade that Shoko was holding, and put her hand in front of her forehead to shield her eyes from the sunlight so that she could examine the composition in front of her more carefully.
"sister……"
Seeing Qianna's entranced expression, Xiangzi, standing behind her, was certain that she wasn't addressing him this time, so he didn't respond.
"Can I twist the accelerator?" China asked, tapping her chin with one hand as she curiously examined the car.
“Okay, like this, turn it counterclockwise.” Hailing said, giving it a gentle twist, and her mount hummed softly in response.
When China went up to talk to him first, Shoko stopped in her tracks because Hailing's figure seemed somewhat familiar to her.
It seems like yesterday when I was hanging clothes out to dry at my rented room, the car that sped past me was Hailing.
Now, however, she has changed into more formal cycling attire to appear more serious.
Wait a minute, did she notice me when she rode over yesterday?
Xiangzi gripped the parasol tightly, a little flustered.
She went back last night and had already made plans to move to a different apartment; she had even packed her belongings.
But the day before I was supposed to move, someone showed me my old place...
Xiangzi's learning about motorcycles today wasn't just from Hailing; he also learned that she was an excellent bassist and wanted to collaborate with her.
