Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

Xiangzi: "She is indeed a bit redundant."

Su Shi: "The bouncing typhoon is totally incompatible with Liu Jun."

Xiangzi: "The singing level is also average. It didn't capture the essence of the song."

Then the two of them said almost at the same time—

“Not as good as Chuhua.”

"Not as good as a lamp."

The two girls in love looked at each other, then turned back to watch the show on TV. At least for this time, the atmosphere would be harmonious.

In the attic room of the Chihaya residence next door.

Chihaya Aine was also watching Liu Hao's performance on her tablet, and while watching, she complained to her phone, "Liu Hao, this guy has really climbed up the ladder. He can easily let Mana lead him to victory... Humph, his guitar skills are about the same as mine. When I get back, I will definitely have another sparring match with him. My strumming skills are definitely better than his!"

"Huh, why is Liu acting so handsome? He must have some other motive."

"Hold on, Mana! Don't let Liu fool you about brother and sister!"

……

"Boring, don't call me next time about this kind of thing, I'm going to hang up."

Shiina Riki's voice came from the phone, still as rude as ever, but actually quite arrogant.

"We wanted to watch the show together, but I asked you to come over and you didn't come."

"I don't have time to waste."

"Hehe, Lixi, you're just being stubborn. You must be watching A-Liu's performance right now."

"I'm not as boring as you." Li Xi countered, "Aren't you stubborn? You said you would tell the truth, but you haven't said it until today."

"I have my reasons..."

"Tsk, I'm hanging up."

Lixi didn't say anything more and hung up the phone. She was sitting in front of the computer desk, and the computer in front of her was indeed playing the footage of the Yokohama Music Festival.

As for Aine's difficulties, Li Xi certainly knew them.

I was unwilling to keep it to myself, but if I said it now, Liu Hao would definitely reject me. I was equally unwilling and was caught between a rock and a hard place...

Also watching the performance was Mutsumu Wakaba, who had just played guitar for Minami Mori.

The girl was not happy because her mother had listened to her performance for the first time. Instead, she held the pen with a serious expression, watched for a while, and then made a note on the notebook in front of her.

[Sing duet once, +1]

[Eye contact once, +1]

[Shoulder touched once, +1]

[Singing the same part, +1]

……

There were a lot of words written densely on the notebook, and Ruo Yemu's jealousy was condensing bit by bit, almost turning into substance.

Idol, or sister.

This is Ruo Yemu's Achilles' heel, and she really can't tolerate it.

It turned out that it was not Hatsuka, but Junda Mana. The girl felt a little regretful, thinking that her intuition was wrong.

However, the fact is that Ruoye Mu's intuition was not wrong.

In the taxi to Yokohama, Sankaku Hatsuka looked at Liu Hao singing with Mana on the mobile phone screen, and what came to her mind was the day a year ago when she resolutely embarked on the journey to Tokyo in order to see her admired Toyokawa Shoko again and to pursue her musical dream.

Sanjiao Chuhua has always been a girl with strong initiative. Her emotions and feelings in her heart have always been strong and deep.

If she wants to do something, she will do it regardless of weather conditions.

Today's performance was also very good. Although Sumimi only ranked third in the music festival voting, compared with the current situation of the Yokohama Music Festival where there are many talented people but only two or three big fish and a lot of small ones, it is already quite good for an idol group to achieve such voting results.

This time, Liu Hao did not refuse the subsequent dinner, but he refused the toast. Compared to the greedy cat look that Mana showed in front of him at night, Mana in front of everyone was completely different. She ate two bites very reservedly and then said she was full. Is this also part of her idol persona?

After dinner, Liu Hao returned to the hotel room and replied to the messages of the girls as he did yesterday, especially asking when Chu Hua would arrive. He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that she was already on the way. Chu Hua's existence was one of the keys to playing tricks on Ruoye Mu's parents tomorrow.

Only by combining hardness and softness can you defeat the enemy without fighting.

If one only wanted to help Ruoye Mu repair her relationship with her parents, there would be no need to make such a big fuss and scheme so much. However, Liu Hao is a scumbag, so he cannot confess to Ruoye and her husband now, but he will have to confess one day in the future. So he has to lay a good foundation now and let them think that Liu Hao is not an ordinary person.

I have to say, character setting is sometimes really useful.

However, although Liu Hao told Mana last night that he had a lot of inspiration and had indeed written a demo of lyrics and music, it still felt like it was missing that finishing touch, that little finishing touch, making the entire song not that outstanding.

So Liu Hao walked out of the room and came to the rooftop of the hotel again, trying to find some inspiration.

It was just a little surprising that in the same position, there was already a slim figure - Junda Mana was eating the free cookies she brought out of the room while looking at her mobile phone, just like yesterday.

"That's a bit deliberate, sister."

Liu Hao stood next to the girl just like he did yesterday and jokingly said, "You were so reserved at dinner, saying you wouldn't eat this, that was too high in calories, and yet you're secretly eating cookies over here. You're really showing off your idol image, aren't you?"

When Mana saw that it was Liu Hao, her fair face flushed after hearing his words. However, the girl thought that this side of herself had already been exposed to Chu Hua, so even if Liu Hao found out, there seemed no need to panic.

"I did that for a reason... So what are you doing here tonight?"

Liu Hao didn't ask any further questions. He just leaned on the railing like he did yesterday: "Look at the moon, look at the stars, and look at you... Of course, the main purpose is to find inspiration."

"Didn't you say you had an inspiration yesterday?"

Liu Hao's casual words made Mana's heart flutter. Meeting here for two consecutive days might be a sign of tacit understanding and fate.

"It's not enough. I always feel like something is missing."

"Would you like me to help you again? I'm an idol who brings smiles~"

"There's no need to be so deliberate. I just wanted to pursue a little perfection when the time came."

Liu Hao shook his head and moved closer to Mana. Seeing that her phone was still showing the audience's comments, he asked curiously, "You pay so much attention to the fans' comments. What if there are any unfriendly comments?"

"No, everyone is very friendly."

“There will always be opposition.”

"Then I'll try not to pay attention to the bad comments and only look at the kind ones."

"Isn't this like being an ostrich?"

"Be an ostrich if you want to be an ostrich."

Mana pouted adorably, the cookie crumbs clinging to her lips, making them appear even more rosy and charming. "I became an idol to prove that I can make people happy... How can I keep going without these fans' praise?"

"You're already a popular idol."

"But we must not forget our original intention!"

Mana glared at Liu Hao, her beautiful lips slightly pursed. In the moonlight, the delicate and delicate girl looked at the lighthouse on the distant coast with eyes like distant mountains.

Yesterday, she was still talking about Liu Hao, but wasn't she actually talking about herself? Every time she stepped down from the glamorous stage, Mana would feel a sense of emptiness. She had to read the comments of those fans to find her own value. She also needed to talk.

"As for me, I always felt like someone I'd been rejected by, so I longed for the idols who shone so brightly on the stage... They were so beautiful, so dazzling, that just looking at them would bring a smile to my face. It was like I'd seen my ideal self, and the future wouldn't seem so bleak anymore..."

"So I secretly signed up for idol auditions without telling my family, and I almost got scammed... Those small agencies that cheated me out of contracts and paid me for breach of contract are really outrageous! Luckily, Natsume-san found me and signed me to Morisaki Agency. Together with Chuhua, I formed Sumimi... Chuhua is much more talented than me. She came to Tokyo on her own, plays guitar, and can write lyrics and compose music. She's a real idol."

"After becoming an idol, I realized it wasn't as easy as I thought. It wasn't just about singing, dancing, and smiling on stage... I had to respect my seniors, practice, and run around for promotions. I worried about not having fans, and what to do if my fans didn't like me... Now that I'm a little famous, I still worry..."

"But I should have become a pretty good idol. Everyone is cheering for me. As long as there are people applauding me, I think I can hold on."

"Although I'm not as good as Chu Hua, nor as good as you...but I'm still worthy of being liked, hehe~"

Liu Hao didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Mana's story. From some clues she told, it can be seen that this glamorous idol also has her own youthful troubles.

If it were in the past, perhaps Liu Hao would have said some inspirational words to guide the immature girl in his eyes to face the future optimistically, but his mentality is different now. On the one hand, he is indeed restrained after having a girlfriend, but on the other hand, he is less arrogant than before - everyone has the troubles of youth, and it is not an insurmountable hurdle. Just encourage them with a smile. Everyone has their own circumstances, and there is no such thing as needing your help to get out of it.

Everyone is his own idol. Human beings are beings with infinite possibilities.

"Liu Hao."

"Ok?"

"Thank you." Mana turned her head to look at Liu Hao and smiled brightly. "Although it's just a character setting, I can say that I have experienced what it feels like to have a family member who cares about you... I wish I really had a brother like you..."

Looking at the girl's pretty face in front of him, which was whiter and more delicate than the moonlight, and her faint smile, Liu Hao suddenly felt a little sad. However, he still did not ask any questions, nor did he say anything to ruin the atmosphere. He just took out a bag of biscuits from his pocket and handed it to Mana.

"Alas, I wanted to keep it to myself."

Liu Hao waved his hand and said shyly, "I feel embarrassed by what you said. Take it, take it. Don't be polite to me."

Mana took the biscuits handed to her by Liu Hao in a daze, blinked and laughed out loud. The girl felt a little secretly happy in her heart, maybe this is what it means to be in tune with each other.

"So you brought the snacks from your room out too."

"I can't just stare at the moon," Liu Hao said. "Besides, I asked the waiter, and they said this is a free snack. It would be a waste not to eat it."

"Hehe~ I've asked too, it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

Liu Hao watched the girl beside him tear open the biscuit package and take small bites of the double-layer chocolate biscuits. Her snow-white cheeks puffed up slightly, like a cute hamster.

"Didn't the waiter tell you you could order room service? There's a menu on the bedside cabinet. You can order it and eat it in your room in secret."

"I know……"

Mana said vaguely, "It's too expensive. You have to pay extra for everything. I can't afford it."

Liu Hao was a little surprised. "Your idol salary is a little lower than I expected, but it's not bad either. It's impossible that you can't even afford this. Is the agency sucking you so much?"

"No... I gave all my salary and bonuses to my family..."

"what?"

Hearing Liu Hao's surprised voice, Mana's expression darkened a little, but she still forced a smile and tried to make amends, "It's normal to give the money to my family. It wasn't easy for my mother to raise me, and Dad... Dad couldn't find a job, so there was nothing we could do. A family should stick together."

Liu Hao couldn't help but ask, "Are you the only one making money in your family right now?"

"Dad also does odd jobs... though most of them are played at pachinko and he loses... " 5∠.

Mana bit her lip. She didn't want to say it at first, but for some reason, she couldn't stop the desire to confide in front of Liu Hao. After she finished speaking, she wanted to force a smile, but her nose felt sore and her beautiful eyes were filled with mist.

"..."

Liu Hao looked at Mana's smiling face with a hint of tears in it, and suddenly understood why he always felt that there was something wrong with the song he wrote after the burst of inspiration last night. Idols' songs are sweet songs, popular songs, catchy songs... But these are not important. What is important is that no matter how tender or brilliant the songs are, the final emotion must be positive, and there must be smiles in the tears, because idols are dreams, and they are the longings that make people smile when they see them.

"Mana, I understand!"

"what?"

Mana looked at Liu Hao's serious expression. She was unable to react for a moment to the sudden change of topic.

"I just understood the true meaning of being an idol through you. Now my inspiration is just bursting out. Wow!"

"Ah? Congratulations then... Hum, I told you I'm an excellent idol~"

"Indeed... What a pity! I wish you were really my sister..." Liu Hao was torn for a moment, but he still turned his head and winked at Mana and said, "The night is perfect tonight. It's fate that we met. How about we really call each other brother and sister from now on?"

That's right, Liu Hao couldn't help but want to take action. Perhaps he was already carrying too much love and shouldn't continue to do things without a sense of distance. This might be a hidden danger in the future and an act without male ethics... But when faced with such a thing, he chose to watch coldly and not lend a helping hand. That was not Liu Hao at all.

Besides, Liu Hao also had a reason. When Natsume Chise sets up her own agency, both Sumimi and Ave Mujica's contracts will be bought out together. This is called playing the emotional card in advance, establishing the artist's sense of belonging to the new agency, and using emotions to bind the artist, so that she will continuously generate gold coins for the agency...

Well, this is just an excuse. Liu Hao has seen Mana shine on the stage and brought happiness to others with her innocent smile. Now he has seen another side of her, the side that is strong and unyielding even in the mud. How can people not feel pity for her?

Alas, man, if I hadn't chosen to stand by and watch, I would have gotten deeper and deeper into trouble now.

"Hey?"

Junda Mana opened her cherry lips slightly, her eyes wide open, tears still welling up in the corners of her eyes. "Really?"

"What's true or false about this?" Liu Hao raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone, "Anyway, you don't have a brother and I don't have a sister, so just think of it as a special friendship. It might be quite interesting."

Mana asked blankly: "Then, what should I call you from now on?"

"It's all right. Keep calling me by my name, or Brother Liu, or Good Brother. If that doesn't work, you can still call me Good Brother."

As he said this, Liu Hao smiled insincerely. A pink figure appeared in his mind involuntarily. To be honest, Aiyin might be the first woman who almost became his sister.

Mana tilted her head and tentatively called out, "Good brother?"

"..."

Liu Hao took a deep breath, feeling refreshed. He gave Mana a thumbs-up and said, "A man who knows the times is a hero. Just for these three words, I have to write at least three more songs for you."

"hey-hey……"
