Hai Mingli turned around and tried to escape, but the next second, a hand reached up to him.

…It’s that guy.

"Um... Second-Hand Rose hasn't been contacted yet?"

This was the first thing the other party said.

"What is that?" the boy asked puzzledly.

This is weird. Didn’t I post a video saying I was coming? Why are they afraid I won’t come?

If I don't come, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?

"He should come. Why not? Didn't they make contact? He even sent a video."

"Oh, oh, I feel relieved when you say that."

Then, the guy took out two bills and handed them to Hai Mingli, "Hold them well and don't lose them."

What is this… He picked it up and saw that it was two tickets for the summer festival.

"Each participating band has one. Your band has one, as well as your friend Second-Hand Rose. Please pass it on to them."

"Oh, one more thing."

Just as the leader was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Please contact Ershoumeigui. It's okay if he doesn't come to report. You have to tell us when he will go on stage and perform, right?"

(ps: "それが大事" is a Japanese song, and the domestic cover version is "Red Sun")

(If you want to listen, I can make a version of "Red Sun" by Ichichi Hoshige)

(Then, go to sleep)

(Have a good night)

Volume 1 Wow! : Chapter 213 Live in the Present

Tickets?

Hai Mingli stared at the bill in his hand and was stunned for a long time...

What should he do with this thing?

I have no recollection of this thing. It seems like I just threw it away and gave it to someone casually.

...Or throw it away?

Forget it, after all, the ticket does not belong to him alone now. Hai Mingli turned back and prepared to discuss it with Ichichi Xingge and the others.

Inside the training room, the girls continued to train and prepare for the performance.

Time was running out, and they were full of energy as they wanted to achieve results in this event. After Hai Mingli's guidance, the whole band had improved significantly, and while the tacit understanding had not subsided, they could not help but train harder.

When they were absorbed in the training, there was a knock on the door. The girls turned around and saw a black-haired boy standing at the door with something in his hand.

"This is..." Yidizhi Xingge was puzzled.

"The tickets for the summer festival are several thousand yen if you go out and buy them." Hai Mingli said indifferently, "What do you think?"

"What...how...do we see it?" Yidizhi Xingge was still confused.

"Hey, Hai Mingli-kun, are you asking if you've figured out what to do with this ticket?" Suzumiya Ryunasaki added, "For example, buy one and give it to the teacher, or throw it away..."

“Eh…it feels like such a waste…”

Hiroi Kikuri, who has been a dark character for a long time, finally speaks up.

...Indeed, it is a pity to throw it away directly.

Meeting the girls' focused and anxious eyes, Hai Mingli felt that he should do something.

……

Yoshinoya Hotel.

As usual, Hai Mingli walked out of the kitchen again. Behind him, he saw piles of plates being washed and then neatly stacked in the disinfection cabinet.

Hai Mingli's purpose of returning here today is not to make money. As the summer festival is about to end, he is about to return to the future.

He wanted to say goodbye to the present.

The boy pushed open the partition between the kitchen and the store, greeted the restaurant owner, and then prepared to do his own thing.

As soon as he stepped out of the store, the deep voice of a middle-aged man came from behind the boy.

"You mean, you're going to have a summer festival?"

"Yes, I do it with my neighbors, with people I know, and with people who are socially anxious."

Preparing to leave, Hai Mingli looked like he had given up on himself. "If my friend wants to leave, then let him leave. I also want to make music anyway."

"This is a good thing."

Standing behind the counter, the restaurant owner's eyes were as round as a mouse, looking the boy up and down, making Hai Mingli feel a chill and uncomfortable all over.

To be fair, Hai Mingli had a good impression of the restaurant owner. Although he had been cheated before, he did help him when he needed work. He also asked him to solve his food problem these two days.

I didn’t expect that this period of time in the hotel would be the best time for food in the next few years…

"It's a good thing, so why don't you treat us to a good victory?"

The boy prepared to leave without even looking back.

"Wait, I have something for you."

The voice was followed by the sound of running. Hai Mingli watched the restaurant owner run to the kitchen and then run back to the front desk.

When he returned to the front desk, he was holding a small dusty box in his arms. The box looked very heavy, and it made a clinking sound every time the hotel owner took a step.

This is……

Before he could react, the restaurant owner took something out of the box and handed it to Hai Mingli, then said, "Take it, and come back to me in ten years."

"What do I want to see you for..." As he said this, Hai Mingli glanced at what he had in his hand.

——It was a metal spoon with the address of the restaurant and a serial number engraved on it.

And under this spoon, there is a sentence written.

"Ten years later, with this item, you can get fifty free meal tickets at this restaurant."

"Is this your Yoshinoya activity?" Hai Mingli wondered, "Have you ever given it away?"

"It's not Yoshinoya's event, it's my own."

The restaurant owner scratched his head. The box was covered with dust, indicating that this thing was rarely given away.

"When I gave this thing to customers, they all smiled and said, 'Boss, you might as well exchange it for a meal ticket now, which is more practical.' After all, who can predict what will happen in ten years?"

This is true, Hai Mingli nodded.

"So... I can't send it out at all. When I first ordered it, I could only send ten. In the end, I couldn't send out ten, so I had to reprocess it and increase it to fifty."

"and then?"

As soon as Hai Mingli said this, the restaurant owner's expression immediately turned ugly: "And you are the first one... You can tell by looking at the number."

hiss……

The boy looked down at the number and saw that it was indeed the case.

"Take it, and then, see me in ten years... But if your way of making money is good, you probably won't see me in ten years."

"Can't meet?" Hai Mingli smiled, "Then forget it, boss, take this thing back, and you can treat me to a meal now!"

"get out!"

The boss is not a rock musician, but he still gave Hai Mingli the middle finger.

"Okay brother."

Just like the first time they met, Hai Mingli replied with the same sentence.

"Then again, if you choose to travel back to the past, would you try your best to go back anxiously, or just live in the present?"

When the restaurant owner said this, Hai Mingli had already walked out of Yoshinoya and seemed not to have heard it.

Forget it, forget it, if you didn’t hear it then you didn’t hear it. It’s impossible for this to really happen anyway.

...It's a pity that I can't use all these spoons...

The boy rode his bicycle a few steps away from Yoshinoya Hotel.

I don’t know if I was seeing things, but when Hai Mingli looked at the spoon just now, there seemed to be a sentence written on it.

Thinking of this, Hai Mingli slowed down, and a few seconds later he stood under the street light and looked at the spoon. Sure enough, a line of words really appeared on the back of the spoon.

"A ten-year agreement, never give up."

……

After turning a few corners and passing through the crowds of people coming and going after get off work, Hai Mingli saw the shade of yellow that he was looking for at a glance.

In the park, Ms. Yidizhi takes Xiao Hongxia to spend time in the park as usual.

As usual, little Hongxia was sitting alone on the swing, while Ms. Idichi was standing on the street, looking at her daughter with a loving face.

found it.

Without hesitation, the boy pushed his bicycle and slowly walked towards the blonde woman.

In an instant, as if sensing something, the mature woman suddenly turned around and met the boy's eyes.

The world suddenly became quiet, as if everyone in the world had disappeared, and there was no sound at all.

Except for the sound of Hai Mingli's own breathing.

"Come and play?" Ms. Ijichi said. "Have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

"Are you injured in the fight?"

"No…wait I didn't fight!"

Hai Mingli was helpless. How many times had he asked himself this question? Was he just a child who would just fight with others casually?

The look in the woman's eyes as she looked at the boy was still filled with motherly love.

After a while of silence, many fragments flashed through the boy's mind, and hallucinations gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

…In the illusion, Ms. Ijichi was still mature, and still had a gentle and kind look in her eyes.

...and I...I am very short. From the perspective of my memories, I may be only as tall as Ms. Ijichi's waist.

…How long ago was that?

...He couldn't explain it clearly.

"Oh, I'm here for this."

Hai Mingli stretched out his hand and waved the two summer festival tickets in his hand, "Summer festival, are you coming?"

Volume 1 Wow! : Chapter 214 It hurts so much, I think I need to grow a brain

"Does it hurt?"

"Can you tell me who you fought with?"

"Are you hungry from the fight? Come home with me. I have delicious food at home."

……

Damn it, why is imagination so good!

The ticket had been handed over to Ms. Ijichi, but for some reason, Hai Mingli suddenly became distracted.

He really wanted to slap himself.

When the boy came to his senses, he saw the blond woman looking at him with eyes full of confusion and tenderness. He felt a weight on his leg, and when he looked down, he saw a blond girl hugging his thigh.

Xiao Hongxia saw him, and taking advantage of the boy's distraction for a moment, she rushed over and hugged him on her lap, like a kitten sticking close to its owner when he comes home.

"Are you here to play with me?" The girl looked up and smiled like fallen leaves and blooming flowers.

The little girl's smile was the sweetest and purest, as bright as fireworks and as gorgeous as brocade. The boy stared at her in a trance and inexplicably felt a little scared.

I left, and the next time I met Xiao Hongxia would be ten years later...
