Li Nian only knew that this person would kiss the ground with his face without her. After hearing the thunderous applause, she couldn’t help but ask with genuine curiosity, “Miss, is this leap of faith you performed after the performance a rock ritual?”

After she finished jumping, she was caught by someone. After hearing Li Nian’s question, the girl, who had been stunned for a while, seemed to react, but her face turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her reaction was more like the shock after messing up than the joy of completing the ceremony.

“Ah Baba…”

The girl stammered and couldn’t utter a word.

Seeing that this was a complete loss of language function due to a social phobia attack, Li Nian decided not to ask any more questions. She stood up and pushed the person back onto the stage with neat movements.

At this time, the other members of the band had already gathered around. Obviously, they did not expect their companions to suddenly make a leap of faith, but they seemed to have become accustomed to such emergencies.

“Goto-san? Goto-san? Moshimoshi~~! Are you still alive?” The host was shaking the body of this socially anxious friend hard, trying to call back her soul.

The bassist who had been putting on a cool look all the time couldn’t help laughing and muttered, “Little Pochi actually did the [diving] thing, and someone actually caught it… He’s worthy of being Pochi, he always gives people surprises.” It made people realize that under that cold appearance, there is actually a fun-loving soul.

The petite girl who was the drummer had already run to Li Nian and bowed hard to apologize, with a very ashamed expression: “I am very sorry that my Pochi has caused you so much trouble! It’s great that you caught him!”

“[Diving]?… I heard that there is a culture in which a rock band at a live performance suddenly jumps into a crowd of people to be caught when the atmosphere is getting high. But to be honest, I don’t recommend you to do this at a school festival. It’s really dangerous. It’s not impossible that you will fall on your head and faint on the spot.”

It would be better to say that without me present, the result was almost certain.

“I guess Pochi might think it’s better to faint now… Of course, what you said is absolutely right! When Pochi wakes up, I will definitely teach her a lesson, and she will definitely not dare to do it next time!”

It should be said that Li Nian successfully caught the person and avoided the accident. He fooled the audience and let the performance of the Bond Band end smoothly. There was one last performance after that. The staff were already making gestures. Seeing this, Li Nian did not intend to chat for long. He waved his hand and said, “The performance was great. It’s the Bond Band from Shimokitazawa, right? I’ll remember that and I will definitely go to see you live if I have the chance.” Then he turned around and went back to Wu Geng and the others.

“…He seems like a really cool person. Do you know Kita?”

“Oh, that seems to be the sophomore Li, who is very famous in our Sobu High School.”

“He is a cool guy indeed… so how could I miss his aura in the crowd? By the way, did anyone see when this guy jumped out and caught Pochi? I don’t think I saw him anywhere in the audience.”

“Aba Aba…”

……

“Well done, you always move faster than anyone else at times like this.” Kasumigaoka said with a smile.

“Phew, it’s a good thing you came to rescue me, I didn’t react.” Jianshan patted Li Nian’s shoulder, feeling a little ashamed at this moment. At that time, besides Li Nian, she was also the only one who could do some action, but she was so excited before that she didn’t realize that it was a somewhat dangerous situation until Li Nian rushed out first.

“Don’t mind it, the girl’s diving was too abrupt.”

“The jumping thoughts of people with social phobia are like this, especially they will become very nervous in front of people. I have to say that the popular girl who suddenly handed the microphone to them should take half the responsibility. I guess when that person suddenly got the microphone, they began to have the illusion that they had to liven up the atmosphere for everyone.” Wu Geng analyzed clearly.

“Is that so?” Kato couldn’t understand.

“Just trust the judgment of Wu Geng, who is also a socially anxious person… What is the next show? Is it worth watching?”

——”It’s very worthwhile. It’s the finale that my sister will perform. You can look forward to it.”

Following the sound, I saw two people from the executive committee walking over.

“Oh, it’s Hikigaya and Yukinoshita.” Li Nian was a little surprised to see them here: “What are you doing here?”

Hikigaya waved the sundries in his hand at him, with a very reluctant and tired expression: “Come and waste my precious time to record the happy moments of the present.”

“To be precise, it is to record the activities during the school festival.” Yukinoshita corrected him and turned to Li Nian to tell him the real purpose: “Thank you for catching the child in time. It was our executive committee member’s fault that we failed to react in time.” Obviously, he was also a discerning person who could see that it was an accident and not a performance.

“Don’t take it to heart. Who can react to that? I just took it. There’s no need to come over to thank you.”

“No, as an executive committee member, I must thank you for anticipating that the responsibility for the accident would be placed on us.”

“You are still as serious as ever. Okay, I accept it… Then, the next one is your sister’s performance, right? I remember hearing that your sister’s performance during the school anniversary shocked the entire Sobu High School. Can she reach that level this time? If so, it is definitely worth looking forward to.”

“As far as this school anniversary is concerned, no matter how sensational it is, it can’t compare to the results of your Sakurasou’s announcement… But of course, you can look forward to it.”

“You are here to see the show, right? Please take a seat.”

Two people sat down in the empty seat next to Li Nian. The one who sat closer to Li Nian was Hikigaya. He couldn’t help but glance at Li Nian and Isayama for a while. In fact, he had already seen the video that was circulated, and he was hesitant to speak.

Li Nian stared at the stage without looking away: “Just say whatever you want to say.”

“…Nothing, I’m just a little curious, are you someone with [special talents]?”

I felt that the spread of that video would expose some of my secrets, and a smart man like Hikigaya had indeed guessed that direction.

If it were someone else, Li Nian would not respond to such a question at all, but as for Hikigaya, Li Nian did not want to hide it from him. He always felt that he was one of the few people in his class that he liked, so he nodded directly.

“Yes, just as you thought.”

“Then a lot of things make sense.” Hikigaya muttered a few words, then said: “You don’t seem to want others to know, don’t worry I won’t say anything.”

Li Nian has heard a lot of similar words… In fact, his friends were not talking nonsense.

“Don’t worry too much. There’s no need to do that now… Don’t think too much about it. Just treat me as an ordinary Japanese high school boy.”

“The kind from light novels?”

“Oh, I knew you understood this.”

They both smiled.

At this time, the stage was filled with classical musical instruments, exuding a high-pitched atmosphere, and the scene was shocked into silence.

As the women in gorgeous gowns came on stage one after another, the audience burst into applause.

Under the gaze of Yukinoshita Yukino, walking at the end and appearing leisurely was her elder sister Haruno.

The dress suited her perfectly, sculpting out her figure. With every step she took, the dark skirt fluttered, capturing the attention of all the viewers.

Yang Nai slightly lifted her skirt, bowed gracefully to the audience, then walked up to the podium in high heels, gently raised her baton, paused in the air, and suddenly swung it down like a sword.

In an instant, the melody flowed out and the grand movement unfolded.

It was an ensemble of various musical instruments competing to sing and coordinating with each other in perfect harmony, forming an exciting and uplifting ensemble.

It is hard to imagine hearing such a high-standard performance in a high school gymnasium. As the finale, it was undoubtedly the strongest level of the day, and everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Yukinoshita Haruno did use her connections to build an extremely high-standard aspiring group and contributed an extremely high-standard musical performance. She stood in the conductor’s position, controlling everything with ease, and shining brighter than anyone else under the spotlight.

Yukinoshita Yukino was looking at that figure intently.

But Li Nian watched the performance silently and thought it was good.

But I miss the previous performance of the Bond Band, which was more awkward, immature, with unexpected things but also improvisations. I think that was more interesting.

He always felt that things that were too perfect and exquisite were not fun at all.
