Does gravity make me stronger?

"ah!"

Amidst the girl's soft panting, Hachiman placed his hand on Sosei's waist, lowered his head and kissed her, then slipped inside her clothes to explore her breasts.

...

"Click!"

The sudden unlocking sound startled the two people inside. Luckily, the first round had just ended, otherwise there would have been a real problem.

"Hachiman, I'm coming in."

Unaware of the situation, Xiangzi opened the door and entered the room. When he saw the two people cuddling on the bed, his face flushed red.

There was a strong, hormonal scent in the air that made one's blood boil; even Xiangzi, who had just entered, was finding it hard to control himself.

"Um, do you need me to go out for a bit?"

"No need, we're already done."

Su Shi got out of bed first and put on her panties along her slightly damp thighs.

However, on the way, she noticed some stains on the panties that hadn't been cleaned off, so she could only awkwardly ask, "Xiangzi-chan, do you have any new panties in your room?"

Xiangzi was taken aback at first, then said helplessly, "Wait for me a moment."

Three minutes later, Xiangzi returned to the room with his clothes: "Su Shi, I remember you had a performance this afternoon, is this alright?"

"Oh, I don't think it'll have any impact. In fact, I'll feel more energetic after I finish."

Seeing Su Shi's rosy complexion, Xiangzi couldn't argue and could only continue, "Would you like to stay for lunch?"

"But we just finished eating."

"Hey, can you eat that kind of stuff as a meal?"

Hachiman:? ? ?

He quickly explained what had happened when Su Shi made breakfast. After listening, Xiangzi covered his face tightly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way!"

Su Shi: "It's okay."

"By the way, can I change my clothes?"

Xiangzi & Su Shi: "Okay."

"What I mean is, could you turn your heads?" Hachiman clutched the corner of the blanket, acting rather coy compared to Sose's openness.

"Pfft, Xiangzi-chan, let's take care of Hachiman, he did a great job today."

Xiangzi walked over to the induction cooker and pretended to be angry, saying, "Ahem, no matter what, it's still a bit inappropriate to be here so early."

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi-chan." Su Shi responded enthusiastically, "We'll choose a better time next time. I've been holding back for a long time this time, so I was a little anxious."

Hachiman, who was getting dressed nearby, found it hard to contain himself as he listened to the two girls' overly direct conversation.

The group stayed in the room for a long time. After lunch, Su Shi returned to the apartment and went to meet up with the rest of Mygo.

Shoko, on the other hand, came to the Starry Night Performance Hall with Hachiman.

"This is only my second time here."

Standing at the entrance to the starry sky, Xiangzi spoke with a touch of nostalgia.

"Back then, Suze didn't know the truth yet," Hachiman said casually. "Your relationship wasn't that good back then."

Or rather, it was very stiff.

They were so stiff that you felt they might start fighting at any moment.

“It’s not just that.” Recalling the past, Xiangzi couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “At that time, I also misunderstood Su Shi, so the two of us were almost irreconcilable.”

The so-called misunderstanding is the story of Su Shi's unwarranted expectations of Xiangzi, and Xiangzi's concealment of the reason for leaving the troupe in order to maintain his self-esteem.

Hachiman shrugged: "It's okay, we can talk it out later."

Xiangzi nodded, then looked gratefully at the boy beside him: "It's all thanks to Hachiman, isn't it?"

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Thank you, Hachiman."

The two held hands and opened the door.

Since it wasn't officially open yet, the performance hall was very quiet, with only the sound engineer and Ijichi Seika sitting on stools discussing something.

Upon seeing the two enter, the sound engineer, who was the first to react, stopped what he was doing and patted his friend on the shoulder.

The latter then looked up and froze the moment he noticed Hachiman.

"Um, that's the shop manager, right? Why is she looking at you like that?"

Xiangzi tugged at Hachiman's sleeve with some confusion.

No, I don't think it's my problem, it's Xiangzi's problem. Of course, ultimately it's still my problem.

After internally complaining, Hachiman led Shoko further inside: "Um, good afternoon, shopkeeper."

"Oh, you're quite polite," Ichiji Hoshika's eyes seemed to say.

"Hachiman, who is this...?"

"This is my girlfriend, Toyokawa Shoko."

"Hello, I am Hachiman's girlfriend. I have heard of you through Hachiman. Thank you for taking care of Hachiman during this time."

She greeted him very politely, still displaying the good manners she had as a wealthy young lady.

At this moment, the sound engineer leaned over to Ijichi Hoshika and said, "This kid is the famous leader of AveMujica, the person you admire, Hoshika."

"Hey, when did I ever say I admired her?" Ijichi Hoshika began to argue.

"But wasn't that how it was before..."

For the past decade, Ichiji Hoshika has dreamed of becoming a top band. Although she has long since given up on that dream, it still sustains her in managing this LiveHouse.

“The past is the past, the present is the present,” Ichiji Seika muttered.

After whispering to each other, Iji Tomoka extended her hand to greet Shoko: "Hello, I'm Iji Tomoka, this guy's shop manager. Well, this kid works pretty hard every day."

"Awkward, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant," a voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, drifted clearly into Hachiman's mind.

"However, Miss Toyokawa, is it alright for you to show up here all of a sudden?"

At least in public, the sight of a popular band's female leader appearing with her non-celebrity boyfriend will inevitably have some negative impact on the band itself.

Moreover, AveMujica is to some extent an idol project, and if Xiangzi reveals that he is in a relationship, it may trigger a wave of negative votes.

Ichika looked at Shoko meaningfully, while Shoko took out a hat and mask she had prepared: "I have also made some preparations for this, so please don't worry."

"Well, I don't want anything strange to happen in the store either. Hachiman, why don't you take your girlfriend backstage to rest?"

"it is good."

The two arrived at the backstage of Star Livehouse. Unlike large live houses, the environment here was somewhat enclosed, but Xiangzi found it surprisingly interesting.

"Although the place is small, it is very clean and all the necessary equipment is there. Ms. Ijichi must be a responsible store manager."

"Well, when it comes to music, the store manager is quite reliable."

Xiangzi tilted his head in confusion: "Hey, does Hachiman mean other aspects of Miss Ijichi?"

"Hehe, it's just a personal issue, nothing to worry about."

Hachiman laughed it off and brushed it off.

After looking around, Xiangzi went into the adjacent practice room. Since the band had just finished using it the night before, and there was no keyboardist in the band, he couldn't find an electronic keyboard right away.

"Do you need an electronic keyboard? I'll go get it for you." Hachiman prepared to walk towards the music room.

"No need, I just miss the time I spent playing in livehouses." Stroking the not-so-expensive instruments, memories of the past came flooding back.

In the past, she and everyone in Crychic trained in such a secluded yet warm place.

Watching Xiangzi's actions, Hachiman suddenly made a suggestion.

...

"Sorry to bother you."

Goto Ichiri gently pushed open the door, glanced around the performance hall, and was about to step inside after seeing that no one else had arrived yet.

"Poch-chan, why didn't you wait for me?"

"Hey, Kita-chan?"

Looking at Kita with his cheeks puffed out behind him, Goto Ichiri didn't know how to reply for a moment: "Um, actually my phone was dead, so I didn't see the message."

Her angry expression vanished instantly, and Kita asked with concern, "Oh, I see. I have a charger. Does Pochi-chan need one?"

"Uh-huh."

The two chatted for a few words at the entrance before entering the performance hall.

"Nijika and the others are on their way. Let's wait a bit," Kita said, placing his guitar case next to the chair.

"We're here!"

Before the words were finished, Hongxia's energetic voice rang out from the doorway.

Chapter 292, Chapter 288: His and Her Band's Official Beginning

"Senior Hongxia, why are you here so early?"

According to the schedule, Nijika and the others estimated that they would arrive at the performance hall in about twenty minutes, so Kita was very pleasantly surprised.

"Well, I'm so excited about going on stage and competing with Aine and the others today, so I came out early."

Nijika and Yamada Ryo entered the performance hall one after the other, and the four of them saw Hachiman and a girl wearing a baseball cap and a white mask next to him in the stage area.

"Hey, Hachiman, who's this guy next to you...?"

Before Nijigae could even recognize him, Goto Ichiri had already stuck his sticker on her.

"Xiangzi-chan, um, good afternoon."

Although she wanted to shorten the distance, Goto Ichiri didn't have enough courage, so she greeted him politely.

Removing her white mask to conceal her identity, Xiangzi revealed a bright, sunny smile: "Good afternoon, Ichiri-chan."

Even with some disguise, the idol of the popular band still possessed extraordinary charm, instantly capturing Goto Ichiri's girlish heart. She scratched the back of her head and giggled foolishly.

'Xiangzi is so cute, and he smells so good!'

You smell nice too.

Hachiman glanced at it and silently complained to himself.

"Oh, it's Xiangzi."

Hongxia tapped her head in shame, while at the same time wondering in 0 when Goto Ichiri and Shoko had become friends.

At that moment, Ijichi Seika, who was passing by, clenched her fist.

"Tch, what a damn winner in life."

"elder sister!"

Hongxia muttered a complaint under her breath, then led the rest of the band members up to greet them: "Good afternoon, Xiangzi. Are you here to watch our performance today too?"

Xiangzi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard from Hachiman that you and Suze were going to have a sparring match, so I've been looking forward to today."

"Oh, it's nothing serious." Hongxia touched her nose shyly. "If Xiangzi comes to cheer us on, we'll definitely be able to give it our all."

It seems like his girlfriend is more popular than him.

"Cough cough."

Hachiman coughed lightly, making his presence known.

"Oh dear, Hachiman is jealous." Nijika teased with a mischievous smile.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Why would I be jealous of Xiangzi?" Hachiman retorted stubbornly.

Xiangzi: "Hongxia-chan, I'll cheer you on, but because it's inconvenient to reveal my identity, I might have to hide in a corner."

Hongxia sighed, "Oh, that's a bit of a pity. The experience in the front row is obviously better."

"The performance hall is only so big, it doesn't matter if you're in a corner."
