In her heart, the Crychic family is still alive and has not really disbanded. As long as they can talk it out and solve the problems that need to be solved, the band will be able to recover as before.

"Alas... Xiao Mu is still the same, unwilling to tell us about Xiangzi's situation. Should I be more strict when asking next time..."

Thinking about her friend's dull character, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't bear to force him to answer, so she gave up the idea temporarily.

"I'd better go talk to Lixi some other day. Maybe she'll have some new information."

While thinking about Crychic, Nagasaki Suyo approached the Yuze Cafe.

However, when she was about to reach the door, she suddenly saw a man and a woman coming out of the gate talking and laughing.

"Tenna-kun, I'm a little surprised that you actually asked for their autographs." The blue-haired girl had a relaxed smile on her face.

"Haha, most bands are formed for various common reasons. They don't have any higher goals. They might disband after graduation, and then they'll be out of print."

"So that's how Tenna-kun views Afterglow? If their fans hear that, they'll be furious."

"Then please, Miss Xiangzi, keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, it would be terrible if fanatical fans find out and cause trouble for me." The handsome black-haired boy pleaded with his hands clasped together in front of his chest.

"Of course, but what price are you willing to pay for me to keep your secret?"

"It's better..."

Listening to this conversation that sounded like that between a couple, Nagasaki Suyo stood there like a stone statue, her whole body shivering.

"Xiao Xiang... is dating someone else?"

In an instant, Nagasaki Suyo figured out why the other party wanted to quit the band. Was it because of her boyfriend?

But the next second, she denied it and felt ashamed of her thoughts.

"No! Xiaoxiang is not that kind of person. She must have other reasons for leaving the band."

"It must be like this..."

Staring blankly at the two people's backs gradually walking away, Nagasaki Suye's slender fingers had unknowingly been twisted together, and her fair skin was squeezed red.

...

Let's go back to a few minutes ago, inside the Yuze Cafe.

Tenna Lin and Toyokawa Shoko enjoyed seasonal fruit desserts while discussing each other's views on music.

After a brief exchange, the two discovered that they had very similar values ​​in this regard. They both believed that works of art were the product of human sensibility and should not be measured by rational money.

And Tian Nalin felt that Toyokawa Shoko could always speak to his heart, as if she knew what he was thinking.

And Toyokawa Shoko also found it extremely easy to talk with Tennalin. She could see what the other person was thinking at a glance, and there was no need to make an effort to read his words and expressions.

In this situation, the two sides chatted more and more speculatively and even changed their names to each other.

"Tenna-kun, just call me Xiangzi."

"Eh? Is this really okay?" Tian Nalin was extremely surprised.

[Namo San! You're calling me by my name so soon. Could it be that Teacher Daxiang is really attracted to me?]

[But I like Dengbao and the others. Should we find a chance to make things clear so that Teacher Daxiang doesn't get stuck in a deeper trap...]

Hearing Tian Nalin's narcissistic thoughts, even the well-mannered Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but give him a cold look. She just didn't want to be called "Toyokawa" often.

"It's okay, Tenna-kun. Why don't we just stop here for today? If my friend responds, I'll contact you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Miss Xiangzi." Tian Nalin raised his hand and called Yuze Tsugumi to pay the bill, and asked for her autograph as a souvenir.

Then the two of them went out together and walked towards the nearby platform, not noticing that there was a worried figure following them.

...

Because she didn't want Tian Nalin to know where she worked, Toyokawa Shoko let him get on the tram first to ensure that he would not be followed.

But when she watched Tian Nalin leave, she suddenly found an acquaintance whom she least wanted to meet at this moment standing in front of her, and her happy mood disappeared without a trace.

"Xiaoxiang, who was that person just now..." Nagasaki Sushi asked in a confused manner, forgetting even to choke up.

Faced with the question, Toyokawa Shoko frowned. She immediately realized that the other party saw her and Tian Nalin together, and might even tell the former Crychic band members, which would be troublesome.

So she suppressed her displeasure and explained, "I just met an ordinary friend in the coffee shop. It's not the kind of relationship you think."

"Is that so..." Su Shi's worries instantly dissipated, and a gentle and kind smile reappeared on her face.

"Long time no see, Xiaoxiang, how have you been lately?"

Little did she know that her question hit Xiangzi's sore spot, and the latter replied with a cold expression: "Thank you for your concern, but I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, Xiangzi tightened his small shoulder bag and walked quickly towards the next platform.

"Wait, wait!" Su Shi hurriedly followed, "Please, Xiaoxiang, I've been looking for you and want to talk to you."

"There's nothing to talk about between us." Xiangzi said without turning his head, but instead quickened his pace.

Su Shi disregarded her ladylike manners and began to jog after him, "But, we're obviously friends, why did Xiao Xiang ignore us and transfer away? Is it because of Crychic?"

Hearing this, Xiangzi stopped in his tracks, turned sideways and looked at Su Shi with a serious expression.

"It has nothing to do with that matter. Please don't get involved with me anymore. Thank you."

These unfamiliar words pierced Su Shi's heart like a sharp arrow, leaving her unable to move her feet. She could only watch the other person board another tram and leave.

Xiangzi was relieved to see that her old friend had not caught up. She looked at her reflection in the cold glass window and was overwhelmed by an indescribable sadness.

If possible, she wouldn't want to do that.

But when he saw Su Shi, who was still living a life of luxury, Xiangzi seemed to see his former self, that naive look who knew nothing of the hardships of the world and thought he could handle everything with his own abilities.

A feeling of disgust arose from this, forcing her to cut off ties with the past to prevent the good memories from catching up with her and making her weak.

The next second, Xiangzi's mood was interrupted by the vibration of his cell phone. He took it out to check and found that it was a greeting message from Tian Nalin, who he had just exchanged friends with, on the chat software.

"Hello, Miss Xiangzi. Thank you for your guidance in the future."

The other person's online name is "John Smith", a very common foreign name, and no one knows why he chose this name.

After unlocking the screen and replying to a similar polite message, Xiangzi's thoughts naturally shifted to Tian Nalin.

If it were Tenna-kun, how would he handle this kind of thing?

He doesn't seem to have many friends. Could it be that he has cut off ties with the past like me?

Next time, let’s listen to what he has to say.

Chapter 11 Master Cat

In the evening, Tian Nalin used the navigation software on his mobile phone and spent some time to find Space in Bunkyo Ward, which used to be a live house and is now a coin-operated parking lot.

This is a site located in the middle of a residential area, with single-family houses next to it, about several hundred square meters in size, surrounded by concrete walls.

Tian Nalin entered and took a look around, and immediately found the target of his trip, a white-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes - Yao Lenai.

The latter was wearing the uniform of Hanasakigawa Junior High School, sitting in a corner of the parking lot playing the guitar, surrounded by a group of cats, forming a warm picture under the warm orange sunset.

"Great, the cat is here after all."

Seeing the girl, Tian Nalin found a place to sit down and waited quietly for her to finish playing a song.

However, Yao Lenai also noticed him, turned around and looked at Tian Nalin with his lively blue and gold eyes.

When she saw the food bag next to him, the girl's eyes lit up. She seemed to smell the aroma of matcha in the air, so she stopped what she was doing and walked towards him.

Just when Tian Nalin was wondering what the other party was going to do, he asked Lenai to stop in front of him and asked in a natural tone:

"Food, can I eat it?"

"Uh... sure."

Opening the paper bag, Tian Nalin took out the matcha spiral bag and matcha coconut and handed them over. These were things he bought specifically for the girl.

After taking the food, he asked Lenai to sit next to him and eat it with relish, without any precautions.

A drop of cold sweat slowly dripped down Tian Nalin's forehead. "I'm asking for Lenai-san. You're asking strangers for food like this. Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped?"

But Le Nai kept shaking her little feet and continued to do her own thing, as if she had ignored his words.

Tian Nalin was helpless about this, so he opened the remaining beef jerky packaging in the paper bag and prepared to share it with the cats that followed him out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the beef jerky was accurately intercepted by Yao Lenai and became food in the girl's stomach.

"Well, don't you want to share some with your friends?" Tian Nalin asked.

Yao Lenai gave him a strange look, "They all have their own families."

"Okay..." Tian Nalin was too tired to complain, so he could only pet a few kittens as a comfort. He planned to bring some cat grass over later, as this thing should not be snatched away.

After a while, Yao Lenai finished showing off the two matcha spiral buns with matcha coconut, wiped his fingers with satisfaction, and prepared to get up and leave.

Tian Nalin quickly pulled out the sheet music and said, "Mr. Yao Lenai, could you please take a look at this piece of music?"

"Hmm?" Yao Lenai looked down curiously.

After watching for a moment, she picked up the guitar and plucked it a few times to play, but only a faint sound of string vibration came out, which was caused by the fact that the speaker was not connected.

Subconsciously, Kaname looked towards the closed Live House not far away with a sad expression.

When Tian Nalin saw this, he knew that the girl had taken the bait. This was the famous guitar song "Canon Rock", a rock version of Canon, which he played to attract her.

"How about this, Lenai-san? Do you want to play this piece?"

"I do!" Kaname nodded seriously.

"Then how about we go to RiNG to play?"

"it is good!"

Then he asked Lenai to pack up his guitar and follow Tiannalin to take the tram to RiNG.

In order to appease the restless cat girl along the way, Tian Nalin had to feed her some snacks to stabilize her emotions.

Around 6pm, the two arrived at RiNG and went straight to the front desk as soon as they entered.

The store manager Rin Rinko was surprised to see the girl coming over and said, "Ah~ Isn't this little Lena?"

"I want to play the guitar." Yao Lenai stated his intention directly.

Tian Nalin took over and said, "Excuse me, Manager, we would like to book a recording studio for half an hour. Is there any room available?"

Rinrinko looked at the two of them and said, "Of course you can, but Xiao Le Na is not familiar with the relevant equipment. Why don't I ask the waiter to help you connect it."

"Okay, thank you, manager." Tian Nalin understood that the other party was worried about the girl being in the same room with a stranger, so he sent someone to watch over her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also suggested, "Excuse me, is Miss Shiina here? How about asking her to help?"

"No problem." Rinrinzi agreed with a smile.

So not long after, Shiina Riki was called to the recording studio with an unhappy look on her face. What she hated most was receiving guests.

Then when she saw who was in the room, she became even more upset.

"Tsk, why is it you, guy?"

"Haha, thank you so much, Miss Shiina." Tian Nalin said, touching the back of his head.

At the same time, he thought to himself: [Rikki is still so handsome and charming after not seeing him for a few days.]

Hearing the strange voice intruding into his mind again, Shiina Riki became even more annoyed, even though the other party did not mean it.

Why did she have to encounter such an inexplicable thing!

Just when Shiina Riki was about to explode, the sound of a piano suddenly rang out, interrupting her anger.

Turning around, I saw that Yao Lenai had already turned on the guitar, turned on the effects pedal, and was in the tuning stage.

Seeing this, Tian Nalin quickly put the music score upright on the music stand, turned on his phone, connected it to the Bluetooth speaker, and played the accompaniment of "Canon Rock".

As a melodious string music sounded, Yao Lenai couldn't wait to start playing. The manic nature of the electric guitar was released at the girl's fingertips, and the impulse that had been suppressed for a long time rushed out like a wild horse, transforming into a pleasant melody.

This song "Canon Rock", adapted by Zhang Yifan (JerryC) in 2005, has complex chord combinations, places great emphasis on finger flexibility and speed, and uses almost all electric guitar techniques. It is almost known to everyone in the rock world.

But correspondingly, as long as the performer has good skills and understanding of music, he or she can produce a very romantic effect, enough to make the blood in the body intoxicated by the canon melody.

The most intuitive effect is that Shiina Tatsuki, who was originally very anxious, has now become a quiet and well-behaved baby, listening to the performance attentively, and even his right foot and fingers are following the beat.

When a song was finished, the entire recording studio was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, leaving only the slightly heavy breathing of Yao Lenai.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yaolena-san. How do you feel?" Tiannalin opened the lid of the matcha drink and handed it over.

Yao Lenai drank half a bottle of matcha drink in one go, then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled coolly.
