I play wind instruments in Kansai.

After they said something, the person inside opened the door.

The boy's expression softened considerably when he saw that it was An Hechun.

An Hechun clasped his hands in front of him, bowed slightly in apology, while the members of the art club kept waving their hands.

"Isn't that exactly how things are now?"

Shida Nana said calmly,

"I have quite a lot of experience with having my emotions break down because the guy I like is with other girls."

"What do you mean by 'quite experienced'...?"

Nana Shida said:

“I used to watch unhealthy anime a lot. The girls in the anime would do unimaginable things because the boys were unfaithful. I thought to myself that I must never become that kind of girl in the future.”

"No, bad! Yes, yes, yes, that kind of bad? Very rude, and violent, and then... woo woo woo—."

After Anhe Chun finished talking with the people from the art club, she came over and tapped her on the head, saying:

"What are you idiots talking about? In short, in Nana's eyes, anything that isn't positive is bad, including negative movies."

"So, so strict...!"

Kohikari Hinata raised her hand and touched the back of her head, exclaiming in surprise.

Nana Shida walked to the window and looked down.

Miyamine Nozomi and Shiraishi Hitomi were standing very close together. They had finished playing their piece and now seemed to be focusing on analyzing the score.

No matter how you look at it, their relationship is far too intimate.

"Should I give you a back door?" Shida Nana turned her gaze back to Kohinata Hina.

Kohinata's expression immediately tightened, she gripped the broom tightly, and almost gritted her teeth as she said:

"Was it Reina who pulled the strings?"

Shida Nana frowned slightly and looked at Anwa Jun, asking:

Who is Reina?

"I don't know." An Hechun shook her head.

"Huh? Wasn't it her?" Hina Kohinata raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Wasn't it her who used some connections to get me to pull strings?"

An Hechun tilted her head, sighed, and said:

"What are you talking about? We don't know any Rena, we only know Hina."

Kohinata was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said:

"Hmm, so you want me to get in through connections?"

“It’s not about using connections,” Shida Nana said, arms crossed. “To be precise, it’s that Miyamine-kun wants you to use connections.”

"Gongling? Why?"

Koharu looked surprised, as if brushing away dust particles from the air, and quickly waved her hand, saying...

"I have absolutely nothing to do with him, really absolutely nothing! I swear! We've barely even talked!"

"Why are you so nervous? It wasn't said that you had a relationship with him. It was just that Junior Brother Gongling told the Holy Son about it."

Her attitude of wanting to sever all ties with Gong Lingwang puzzled An Hechun greatly.

"The Holy Son said you don't need to work extra hard to get on the field. As long as you have the strength, there won't be any problems. She guarantees that. She'll keep an eye on you and have Anhe talk to you about it."

“It felt a bit strange for me to say it alone. I ran into Nana on the way, and since she’s a cadre, I took the opportunity to bring her over.” Anhe Jun winked.

A flicker of light appeared in Kohinata Hina's eyes, and she whispered:

"I...I didn't mean that..."

The two senior students exchanged a glance but didn't say anything more.

"Let's finish sweeping here. The most important thing is to practice more. Your thinking is actually disrespectful to the brass band, but it's normal. You must have felt that you weren't being respected, which is why you're acting like this."

As Shida Nana spoke, she began to look down on herself, and could only sigh and say...

"...Tsk, this club is really troublesome. I'm leaving now."

“Mm.” An Hechun waved her hand.

Turning my head, I saw Kohikari sweeping the floor, seemingly more motivated than before.

"That's great!"

An Hechun clasped her hands behind her back, her pretty face displaying a smile that could charm any innocent young man.

"what?"

“Some capable people have started to care about you,” An Hechun said.

Kohinata nodded, her expression softening, and said as if with a sigh:

"Yeah, Daidouji-senpai is always so serious, I didn't expect her to notice me."

"I'm talking about junior student Gong Ling."

"Huh?" She stared at him blankly.

An Hechun walked to the window, looked down at Gong Lingwang, and said:

"Isn't he a good guy? He's done all the little things I asked him to do, and now the Holy Son seems to like him a lot. He'll soon be the leader of the flute team again. He's a very capable junior."

"......"

Xiao Ri Xiang Yang Cai has mixed feelings.

It felt like there was some dust in her nostrils, making her itchy, so she raised her hand and rubbed it hard.

Being noticed by the cadres is a real joy, because maybe I'll actually get to participate in the A-level competition in the future.

But she simply couldn't say that such a womanizing guy was "a good person" and that she had received his care, nor could she say that he was "a bad person."

The only thing she could do was not to judge or report Gongling and Baishi's affair to her best friend; that was the greatest reward she could offer.

54. Can the privileges of childhood sweethearts be relinquished? (6K)

The dappled sunlight under the trees has shifted, and the pansies in the flowerbed are blooming amidst the lush grass, while fallen leaves lie quietly in the ditch along the wall.

"Miyare, I heard you're going to compete with Hasebe for a seat?"

As soon as get out of class ended, Mizuno Souji came over from the next class as if looking for fun.

"If I hadn't fought for a spot, even if I had won, I wouldn't have been the team leader."

This was something Daidouji-senpai mentioned, and the group leader will hand it over to Erika Toda later.

Miyamine Nozomi had no objections; Toda-senpai was a good person.

"Don't worry, Ryūno and I will vote for you, if it's a democratic vote," Mizuno Sōji said, his hand resting on his desk.

"It's alright, just choose whoever is better," Miyamune said nonchalantly, but his gaze was fixed on Kato Ai.

She was still surrounded by several girls, but unlike usual, the girl's mental state was noticeably worse than before, and she looked preoccupied.

As expected, it dropped another thirty points at the opening today.

If things continue like this, leaving the brass band is only a matter of time.

Wait a little longer, it hasn't hit rock bottom yet, Gongling thought.

"The right to use the auditorium has been acquired by Senior Sister Gu Hua, so everyone should go there after school this afternoon."

At that moment, Willow Wood Lamp came over.

A section of fair and tender thigh came into Gong Lingwang's view, its skin glowing with a faint reddish hue, as if it would blush if pinched.

"May I ask what piece you will be playing?" Mizuno Soji asked curiously.

Willowwood Lamp crossed one arm and said:

"Time was tight, so I just chose a very ordinary etude, 'Libertango'? Is that it?"

Her gaze fell on Gong Lingwang, only to find him slumped over the table, staring intently at her thighs with a serious expression.

Liu Mujie raised an eyebrow and patted his head.

"I'm talking to you!"

"Well--"

Hitomi Shiraishi, who was sitting next to her, suddenly cast a concerned glance at her, but did not say anything.

Gongling Wang raised his head with a smile, then said in a serious tone:

"Yes, 'Libertango'. Because the beginner level is too simple, and considering that everyone's ears may not be very sensitive, it would be a bit difficult for those who want something too advanced. This piece has fast tonguing in the high range, which can showcase technical skills."

"One year is equivalent to three years of seniority, which is too outrageous no matter how you look at it. Won't things go completely out of control in the future?" Mizuno Soji worried.

Willowwood Lamp said dismissively:

"What's wrong with that? The brass band shouldn't be divided by grade in the first place. It should be based on ability."

"What if a more powerful person appears in the future? Would you let go?"

"I have no interest in power."

She spoke so naturally, as if it were the truth.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she hasn't experienced this feeling herself, which is why she dares to say it so seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll always give you special treatment, Liu Mu." Gong Lingwang continued to lie on the table.

It has to be said that these are legs that are used to morning runs; every muscle fiber seems to be awake, firm, smooth, and rounded.

Will the watermelon get split open?

He had always thought that Willow Knot Lantern wasn't very good at dressing up, but in reality, she seemed to know very well where she excelled.

"Huh?" Willow Wood Lamp raised an eyebrow. "I don't need it."

"What are you talking about? I only stood up for the sake of those around me taking advantage of me."

Gong Lingwang looked up at her, a gentle smile on his face, and said...

"When I have complete control of the brass band, you won't even need to participate in the selection process. I'll put you in Class A directly and give you your own childhood sweetheart's special attention. Anyone who objects to me will be targeted."

"Hehehe~~ That's an exaggeration." Mizuno Souji couldn't help but chuckle.

Having spent these past few days together, Yukito had gradually gotten used to Miyamine Nozomi's "unconventional" ways, so he didn't feel much of a stir when he said those words.

"Whatever you want." Liu Mujie glanced away, but her tone was soft and gentle.

As a result, that glance led to their eyes meeting.

It had been so long since I'd last chatted with her. Looking at her delicate, almost mechanical face, Liu Mujie felt a pang of longing in his heart.

"What have you been up to lately?" she asked with a sigh as she stepped forward.

Shiraishi Hitomi looked up at her, glanced at Miyamine Nobuo, and said softly:

"study."

"How did you play the piccolo?" Willow Knot Lantern asked.

Shiraishi Hitomi's lips parted slightly:

"I like it now."

"Gongling—"

Liu Mujie turned his head to the side.

"What's wrong?" Gong Lingwang stared into her eyes.

"......"

Willow Knot Lamp's throat moved slightly, but he didn't utter a single word.

She originally intended for Miyamine Nozomi to provide more technical guidance to Shiraishi Hitomi within the vocal range.

But just as he was about to say those words, he swallowed them back because of the strange emotions that kept welling up from the depths of his heart.
