Most of the girls in the class, including the two of them, were pulled by their friends to gather around Kitagawa You's desk.

This made Cheng Hai Shengna, who felt uneasy, shy and thin-skinned, lower his head involuntarily. He did not dare to look into Kitagawa Yu's eyes, and a faint blush unconsciously appeared on his fair cheeks.

In comparison, Shiina Mahiru, whose acting skills are usually not as good as hers, seems to be calmer at this moment.

"Ahnone! Ahone! Kitagawa-kun, is that the guitar you brought? Are you planning to form a band?"

Because of the tables in front and behind, Shaoyan Lemon, who thought he was "very familiar" with Kitagawa Yu, was the first to ask.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Kitagawa Yu.

This level of attention... probably would make Pochi-chan, who has been carrying a guitar for four years but no one cares about it, envious to the point of crying, right?

"It's the guitar, but we haven't formed a band yet. We're just planning on forming a light music section first."

Because he was not used to being surrounded by so many girls, Kitagawa Yu subconsciously leaned back slightly while explaining, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little stiff.

However, when he thought that there would be more and bigger scenes like this when he became famous, he silently took a deep breath, tried to relax himself as much as possible, and forced a smile on his face.

Chapter 66 Normal operation?

"That's not a big deal! Being able to form a light music club is already amazing!" Shaoyan Lemon said excitedly, and she looked as if Kitagawa Yu was already a big star.

"So when will Kitagawa-kun start the club activities?"

"Can we be allowed to visit the Light Music Club when it is holding club activities?"

"Kitagawa-kun, can you please play guitar for us now?"

"..."

At this time, other people also started asking questions one after another, which made Kitagawa You, who was experiencing such a situation for the first time, feel helpless.

"It's just a light music club, there shouldn't be such a big reaction, right?"

While Beichuan You was answering them patiently, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

At the same time, in order to avoid too many people watching and causing Yana, Kenna and the other two to get nervous and make mistakes, Kitagawa Yu did not tell Shaoyan Lemon and the others that the Light Music Club would carry out its first club activity at noon today to deal with the student union's review.

but......

"If the light music club hasn't been formed yet, then it doesn't have its own practice room, right?"

"If Kitagawa-kun (this guy) wants to practice with Himemiya-san and the others... he should still practice in the piano club's activity room, right?"

In the crowd, Narumi Seina and Shiina Mahiru subconsciously turned their heads to look at each other, and after their eyes met briefly, they "very naturally" separated.

"Well, it seems my guess was right..."

Cheng Hai Shengna thought secretly, his heart filled with anticipation.

At the same time, Shiina Mahiru was also looking forward to today's lunch break, but she also felt a few strange emotions in her heart.

"If... that guy really is practicing for the piano club at noon, then even if Hayasaka Tomori is dumb, she should realize that something is wrong, right?"

Obviously, her guess was correct.

During lunch break, when Hayasaka Touri, who thought she had become friends with her, dragged her and Narumi Seina to the atrium as soon as get out of class was over and grabbed the bench right below the piano club's activity room, she heard the sound of guitar instead of piano and was stunned.

When she came to her senses, Hayasaka Touri, who was just a little slow in love but normal in other aspects, immediately thought of something in her head.

"Hey, hey! Seino, Shiina-san, did you hear that? It's a guitar! It's actually a guitar! On the way here just now, I don't think we saw anyone else carrying a guitar, right? Do you think the piano performance we've been listening to these days is played by Kitagawa and his classmates in our class!?"

Hayasaka Touri seemed to have discovered some incredible secret. She turned her head excitedly, lowered her voice, and whispered quickly to Narumi Seina and Shiina Mahiru beside her.

"Um......"

"should--"

"perhaps--"

"Is that so?"

Narumi Seina and Shiina Mahiru, who had already put on their masks, still had calm and smiling expressions on their faces.

However... they still felt more or less embarrassed in their hearts, and inexplicably had a feeling that... they were bullying a fool.

However, right afterwards, Hayasaka Touri suddenly made a proposal that was completely beyond their expectations, making their eyes light up and their hearts beat fast, but they couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

"Since we are classmates, then what do you think? Should we just go upstairs and watch them practice?"

"......So I'm the fool?" Such thoughts could not help but pop up in the heads of Narumi Seina and Shiina Mahiru.

Then......

"Do you want to go?"

This time, Shiina Mahiru made a decision quickly: "Well, although they are classmates, we are not particularly familiar with each other. I think we should not rashly disturb them, right? Besides, we still have to eat lunch, right? It would be too rude to take lunch with us, right?"

"That's true."

Shiina Mahiru's reasoning successfully convinced Hayasaka Tomori.

Therefore, Cheng Hai Shengnai on the side could only continue to keep smiling and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"It's so hard to get the chance to say hello to Kitagawa-kun..." Cheng Hai Shengna muttered to himself.

If she was alone, she would definitely be embarrassed to run over to watch Kitagawa Yu and the others practice.

But isn’t it Hayasaka Tomori who is leading the charge this time?

In the end, I missed it.

This made her feel a little depressed, and even the lunch box in her hand seemed not as delicious.

In contrast, in the piano club activity room upstairs, Kitagawa You, who was about to face the student union review, was still eating with gusto.

Although the bento in his hand was just a simple fried chicken with tamagoyaki, a few stir-fried bamboo shoots and a few slices of lettuce, and the staple food was just plum rice balls, this was the first time that Anami Yanami made a bento for him!

If he wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, Kitagawa Yu would have wanted to take a picture with his mobile phone and keep it safely!

Moreover, despite its simplicity, the bento tastes pretty good.

In particular, in order to make the fried chicken nuggets more delicious, Anai Yanami took out in advance the secret white sauce of the Emperor Hotel, which was praised by Onmyoji Kazuhiko so much in the original story that he sold two spoonfuls of it for 600 yen.

This made him even happier.

In addition, it may be because the student union presidents, Hibari Fang Huyuan and Aixing Ma Jie Tian, will be here to review it soon.

This time, Shikiya Yumeko did not make things difficult for Hakamada Sosuke and finally allowed him to enter the activity room.

Also as a second-year student, Yumeko Shikiya must have heard of the name Shirakawa Tsukiai, but when she saw Shirakawa Tsukiai, she did not show any strange expression.

This made Baihe Yueai, who knew that she had a bad reputation, secretly breathe a sigh of relief and finally feel at ease.

Then......

"Kitagawa-kun, please try my bento. This is the tempura I made myself."

Perhaps he saw that Yanami Kyouna and Himemiya Karen were both "exchanging bento" with Kitagawa Yuu, so he mistakenly thought that this was a "normal behavior" for club members to get closer to each other.

Shirakawa Yueai then added a piece of tempura and put it in Kitagawa Yu's lunch box under the astonished gaze of everyone.

"???"

To be honest, Baihe Yueai had not touched the chopsticks before, so the chopsticks were still clean.

In addition, the tempura was placed in Kitagawa Yu's lunch box instead of being fed directly to Kitagawa Yu's mouth, so there was no intimate contact such as indirect kissing.

So there is nothing inappropriate about Baihe Yue'ai doing this.

In fact, many classmates who have a good relationship with each other will share their lunch boxes when they sit together to eat lunch.

But...

"Great! I knew with Kitagawa-kun here, only a blind man or an idiot would fall for that guy Kusuke!"

Yana almost spit out the rice in her mouth from laughing when she saw Kyouna quickly glance at Hakamada Kusuke, whose face was stiff.

Chapter 67 The Power of Song

"Um, thank you... Shirakawa-senpai, please try some of my chicken nuggets too!"

After coming back to his senses, Kitagawa Yuu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but he looked at the expectation flashing in Shirakawa Yue'ai's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he politely added a piece of fried chicken dipped in white sauce and put it in Baihe Yueai's lunch box as a return gift.

This indeed made the smile on Baihe Yueai's face become even brighter. It was obvious that Beichuan You's doing this made her very happy.

Fortunately, Hakamada Kusuke also reacted at this time, pretending nothing had happened and added a piece of fried pork chop to Shirakawa Tsukiai's lunch box, and also received tempura from Shirakawa Tsukiai as a return gift, successfully resolving the somewhat strange atmosphere at the moment.

Next, in order to squeeze out time to practice together again, both Himemiya Karen and Yanami Kyouna ate much faster than usual.

However, Fanghuyuan Yunque and Ma Jitian Aixing came over before they finished eating.

"Your review this time was a last-minute effort to cut in line. In order to squeeze out time to come here, the president only managed to eat a bowl of fried noodles and bread!" Ma Ti Tian Aixing, a little fan of Fang Hu Yuan Yun Que, took the initiative to come forward and explain.

This made Hakamada Kusuke, who had thought he was being targeted again, breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, Ma Ti Tian Ai Xing explained it specifically for him.

Who made him look like a bad boy?

"Damn it, please let senior Tohara go. But please wait a moment, we will finish eating soon." Kitagawa You stopped and said politely without being humble or arrogant.

In this regard, Hibari Fanghuhara, who has long dark red hair and looks very cold and a queen-like demeanor, did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied. Instead, she appreciated Kitagawa Yu's performance.

"I should be the one saying sorry, you guys just continue to eat slowly." Fanghuyuan Yunque said with a smile, then changed the subject and continued: "But I hope your performance won't make me feel like I'm wasting my time and making a wasted trip."

After saying this, except for Kitagawa Yu, who had the strength to back him up and remained confident, the others, including the usually carefree Himimiya Karen, felt a lot of pressure and became a little nervous.

And with Tiger Hara Hibara watching nearby, they simply couldn't eat "slowly".

In less than two minutes, everyone quickly finished the rest of their lunch boxes, then took a deep breath and walked to their seats as if going to the battlefield.

“By the way, because we didn’t have enough time to prepare a drum set, we temporarily switched to using a mobile phone APP to play the drum part of this performance.”

"Dumb tape, Mengzi has already told me that this will not affect the review result of your performance this time."

"Then let's begin—"

After saying this, Kitagawa Yuu nodded to Yana, Kyouka and the others.

Then, a soothing prelude played by guitar and piano sounded in the activity room, then passed through the open window at the side to the outside of the house and fell into the ears of Cheng Hai, Sheng Nai and the other two downstairs.

"Huh? This time it's guitar and piano together?"

"Could it be that--"

"Are they going to start rehearsing!?"

On the wooden bench with mottled paint under the cherry tree, Cheng Hai Shengna and the other two who were eating their lunch boxes paused in unison, and then, like Fanhuhara Hibara, Shikiya Yumeko and Umaru Aisei in the activity room, they all pricked up their ears at the same time.

As for Baikawa Yueai, who had already heard it once, she subconsciously held her breath at this moment, clasped her ten fingers in front of her, with a light flashing in her ice-blue eyes, and looked at Kitagawa You with excitement and anticipation.

"Try not to lie, be gentle to others at all times, and put yourself in their shoes when they are in pain..."

"In the morning when the horizon shines, your hope falls and is blown away into pieces by the wind. People can't help but sigh softly and sing songs with sad voices. But one day the pieces will flow to the end of the sea, emit light, and you will see it again..."

Back Number's lead singer Shimizu Iyori has a nickname called 'Prince of Pain', which means that the lyrics and melodies he writes are so beautiful and touching that not only the listeners but even he himself often cries when he writes them.

Among them, the lyrics of "Horizontal Line" are like this.

Although it may seem ordinary when translated into Chinese, if it is the original Japanese version, it will be extremely beautiful and touching to the Japanese, coupled with the gentle melody of the acoustic guitar and the equally gentle voice of Kitagawa Yu.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I was so moved that I knelt down when I heard it.

Otherwise, Kitagawa Yu would not have chosen "Horizontal Line", a song that has never won the Billboard weekly championship, as his candidate for debut single from the classic works of bands and male singers such as Kenshi Yonezu, Green Apple, and King Gnu who dominate the Japanese music scene.

For a moment, even Yumeko Shikiya, who had zombie attributes and no expression, had an unprecedented light in her eyes. One can imagine how the others would react.

Bass, drum set, even the king of instruments like piano was completely ignored at this moment.

Kitagawa Yuu and his singing and guitar sound have firmly occupied the eyes and ears of everyone present. Although it is not as exaggerated as the clothes exploding in "Food Wars!", it is like a ray of sunshine and a breeze, quietly breaking into their hearts, at least at this moment, it has also conquered each and every one of them.

As for Cheng Hai Shengnai and the other two who were eavesdropping outside the window, they all closed their eyes at the same time, all immersed in the gentle, healing singing and melody.

Until the last note turned into the fragrance of cherry blossoms and dissipated in the wind, they gradually broke free from their previous immersion and emotion with a sense of loss.

Then......

"Oh my God!"

"Is this sung by Kitagawa-san?"
