It was as if she had taken off the mask that others usually wore, revealing only her vulnerable and real side... She seemed to be very fascinated by this contrast.
Or rather, she just wanted to see Ming Hai's rare expression of embarrassment and shyness, so she often took the initiative to seduce, tease, and tease him in all kinds of strange ways, and she seemed to have found a lot of "moves" and "routines" on the Internet.
For example, licking the neck, biting the ears and so on... Although her pretty face gets red every time, this lustful young lady still enjoys it, jumping back and forth crazily on the boundary between 12+ and 15+, giving people the feeling that it is not strange to have the first kiss at any time.
By now, Ming Hai has almost gotten used to it - after knowing that she just likes physical contact, he is rarely startled and disbelieving by her like he was before. Instead, he gradually begins to enjoy it and copes with her various unexpected attacks with ease.
For example, in the hug just now, even though their bodies were so close and even though he was discovered to be hiding a weapon, he was still able to deal with it calmly and continued to feel the girl's beautiful and firm curves, as well as her fragrant and soft warmth, as calm as an old Poseidon who had been wandering among flowers for decades.
That’s right—Teacher Xiaoxiang is now unable to break through his defense!
Although he didn't know what new tactics she was going to use, Ming Hai didn't care. He just responded to her moves as he did before by covering his eyes.
If you really want to say it, this can also be considered as part of the couple's play, right?
"It's not necessary."
Ming Hai retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly: "Only liking your smile, that's what fans would do, right? I don't want to just be your fan."
"When you are with me, whether you are crying, laughing, angry, or expressionless, as long as it is all from your heart, there is no possibility of getting tired of it or being bored."
——Your smile is beautiful, but everything else about you is also an incomparably lovable treasure.
Although his sincere tone was casual, it did not contain any falsehood, but was the words from his heart without hesitation.
Because of this, it can directly hit the girl's pure and sensitive heart, and deal a large amount of damage including penetration + critical hit + real damage.
"Y-Really? That's great."
"Really? How come the once honest and lovely Ming Hai-kun has become more and more good at sweet talk..."
Her face had turned red as a cooked shrimp. Toyokawa Shoko complained a few words as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't suppress the happy yet shy smile on the corner of her mouth, and soon she was giggling foolishly alone.
If they hadn't been holding hands, they would have drifted away to who knows where.
Ming Hai sighed as usual, and said in a voice so loud that she couldn't hear:
"I can't help it. Who made me so dedicated?"
Learning how to please girls is just like learning how to give them inspirational speeches.
It is true that you may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to it, your proficiency will increase rapidly, and you will be able to make high-scoring speeches without much thinking.
In comparison, once the physical contact is gone, Miss Xiangzi's offense and defense are extremely weak. A random counterattack can make her lose her armor, and no matter how carefully designed the routine is, it will be of little use.
Ming Hai didn't care at all and just took her into the theater and sat down on the soft seat.
-
Because Miss Xiangzi wanted to experience the movie-watching process of ordinary people, the two of them did not go to the more advanced IMAX or box theaters. Instead, they found an ordinary seat in the middle with the best view, and waited for the movie to start with the sparse audience members who entered the theater.
As Ming Hai expected, this movie was not very popular. Even though it had only been released for a short time, most of the seats in the theater were still empty, which was consistent with his impression of the sales of niche art films.
I guess the hospital will withdraw the film soon, right?
Of course, let alone him, even Toyokawa Shoko didn't care about this kind of thing. At most, she just felt sorry for it - she liked the plot of the movie and wanted to drag Ming Hai to watch it together, but it didn't mean that she had to promote her interest and win more people's recognition.
The lyrics of Gao Song Deng are different.
To let more people hear the "cry of the heart" would bring her incomparable feelings and satisfaction... That's why she established a band with this as the center.
Speaking of Takamatsu Lights…
"How's Takamatsu-san's song practice going?"
Stuffing a popcorn into his mouth, Ming Hai took another popcorn and handed it to him.
Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth and took a bite, then fed him a piece of popcorn.
The feeding movements were extremely skilled, and neither of you cared about the soft touch of your fingertips with the other's lips, and you just started chatting naturally.
"She can already sing. She's currently practicing Morfonica-san's Daylight -デイライト-... She has a great musical talent. Although she has never practiced vocal music, her vocal range is very wide and her voice is very expressive of emotions. As long as you don't let her think too much and let her sing while immersed in the song, even Li Xi-san won't find much fault with her."
"Really? That's good."
Ming Hai nodded, everything going well was better than anything else.
It seemed that there was no need for him, a newly minted music master and instrument repairer, to intervene.
"But she does have some shortcomings." Suddenly, she sighed and bit the straw of her Coke cup, not knowing what she was thinking of. "Teng's lung capacity and memory are not good enough... Sometimes she sings until she runs out of breath, and sometimes she forgets the lyrics and stands there stupidly... After practice, she always apologizes with tears in her eyes, and I don't have the heart to give her any more suggestions..."
Ming Hai glanced at her, and his tone unconsciously added a bit of teaching: "Why are you so heartless? You are the captain of [CryCHIC]. You should not only consider Takamatsu-san's feelings, but also the other three members and future fans of the band."
"If you want her to improve and the band to become stronger, you should be brave enough to speak up and supervise everyone's progress. That kind of unnecessary gentleness will only make Gao Song stay in her comfort zone and end up feeling that she is holding the whole band back."
"As long as you explain it to her properly and don't use an aggressive tone like that Shiina classmate, Takamatsu will definitely understand your intentions. Just wipe your tears and keep working hard."
Listening to his words attentively, Toyokawa Shoko placed her hands gracefully on her thighs and straightened her back, like a good student who was willing to learn humbly.
Only after the voice stopped did she nod at him seriously.
"I'm grateful for your advice. Indeed, I don't mean to blame Deng-san just because I hope she can improve."
"Mr. Ming Hai, do you have any way to help Deng improve these shortcomings? If not, I can hire a vocal teacher for her..."
Ming Hai shook his head and said, "It's better not to do this. Not to mention that Hiramatsu-san is very shy, you're only putting pressure on her to be treated differently. Even if the other members don't object, she'll gradually feel that she doesn't fit in with the band... We should know better than anyone how delicate and sensitive that child's mind is, right?"
"That's true..." Toyokawa Shoko sighed slightly, rubbed her brows with her fingers, and lowered her head, "Sorry, I'm a little confused because of my concern. [CryCHIC] is a platform for us to realize our dreams, and it is also the embodiment of our immature but pure will... If we ask a professional vocal teacher to teach Deng to sing, it will go against my and everyone's original intention."
As if she wanted to vent, she ate several pieces of popcorn in a row and gulped down the black tea in the Coke cup.
"But there are ways to improve it, and they're pretty simple."
After hearing what he said, Toyokawa Shoko immediately stopped eating and put on an attitude of humbly accepting instruction.
Ming Hai said: "If she runs every morning and has someone to help her memorize the lyrics, it should be effective after a week."
"Because exercise can enhance brain activity and improve memory? It can also improve lung capacity and physical strength..."
Toyokawa Shoko put her hand on her chin, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Well, it's a good idea! And not only Deng, but also Su Shi, Mu, and Li Xi need to exercise their physical strength in advance to cope with the future LIVE... I heard that a LIVE can take up to three or four hours. Even if you don't have to sing and dance like a singer, you can't sweat profusely after two or three songs like now..."
Seeing that she was thinking more and more deeply, Ming Hai could not help but wave his hand in front of her and reminded her: "Don't think so far. A three- or four-hour solo LIVE at the Budokan level. It will take CryCHIC several years to reach that level, right? It's good enough for you to sing two songs on stage now. Just focus on Takamatsu-san..."
"I made a decision!"
Toyokawa Shoko suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.
"After today's date, I'll send a message to ask Deng if he's willing to do morning exercises. Then, when the band practices next time, I'll discuss the summer training camp with everyone in person!"
Like the leader of an SOS team who had a sudden inspiration, her eyes sparkled and she was excited. She declared without any doubt, and there was a kind of confidence and vigor on her face that showed that she could do anything.
Ming Hai couldn't help but be stunned, then seemed to have associated something, and his expression became subtle.
"Summer training? Is it so hasty?"
I feel like school idols have to go to a camp somewhere in the summer...
If converted into anime, it would be the seventh or eighth episode by then?
When will the 13th episode end? Will there be a second season?
"Is it hasty?" Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head slightly, her eyes flickering with eagerness, her fists unconsciously clenched, "It's just a plan, the details still need to be discussed carefully with everyone! Although there may be many difficulties, I will find a way to go out and play with everyone... No, go to the summer training camp!"
"The real purpose has been exposed..." Ming Hai shook his head with a smile, "But that's right, practice is only a part of the training, improving feelings and tacit understanding is the main thing. The most important thing is that everyone has fun..."
"By the way, you're not planning on taking everyone to your private beach and beachfront villa, are you?"
Toyokawa Shoko looked over with surprise.
"How did you know we have a private beach and beachfront villa?"
Ming Hai couldn't help but twitch his cheek.
"I was just asking casually, but there really is one..."
"Well, there is a villa on a small island overseas. I used to go there often for vacation and made some good friends there." Without showing off her wealth, Toyokawa Shoko explained a few words naturally, then lowered her eyebrows and thought, "Hearing what you said, it is true that the facilities and food there are very complete. We just need to ask someone to send the equipment over... However, considering the distance and the things to do, a villa on the mountain would be better, right?"
"On the mountain..." Ming Hai muttered.
I thought I could see their swimsuits, what a shame.
As if sensing his thoughts, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly looked up, her cheeks slightly puffed, and looked at him with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Minghai, you are so interested in the beach, don't you want to see the swimsuits of Ms. Suyo and Ms. Deng? I know that their figures are better than mine..."
"No." Before the theater went dark, Ming Hai looked into her eyes seriously and said solemnly, "No matter how good their figures are, I just want to see your swimsuit. Although I am indeed interested in other women's swimsuits, if I can only look at one person, then you will be the only one in my eyes."
Toyokawa Shoko did not become shy as she did before, but smiled at him gently and asked softly:
"really?"
"of course it's true."
"So do you like my swimsuit, or do you like me in a swimsuit?"
"……Um?"
Narumi blinked.
The familiar feeling appeared again. Is this kind of confusing multiple-choice question her "routine" today?
After hesitating for two or three seconds, he chose a more conciliatory answer: "Can I like both?"
"No." Toyokawa Shoko quickly cut off his retreat.
"But if, I mean if... I like you in a swimsuit, but I don't like your swimsuit, doesn't that mean I really want to take off your swimsuit?"
Ming Hai lowered his head, his expression sad and heavy: "I'm sorry, I can't say such perverted words."
"..."
Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks began to flush again, but this time it was more from anger than shyness. She almost laughed out loud because of him.
Is there such an answer?!
Moreover, he deliberately used the word "if" twice. Was he trying to give himself a boost, or was he using a tactic to avoid being seen as not really in love?
Cunning Ming Hai-kun...next time, I won't let you escape so easily!
Volume 75: Chapter Chapter You don’t know how to compose music, right?
The theater darkened, the screen lit up, and the movie began to play.
The two of them looked ahead, not like the young couple in the corner, who were so impatient to get intimate in the dark.
Needless to say, Toyokawa Shoko was already filled with excitement but stared straight ahead calmly, with an attitude as serious as if she was treating some amazing masterpiece; and although Ming Hai knew the general plot, he had no intention of spoiling his fun, and still watched this movie, the first time they had watched it together, with curiosity and anticipation.
The story begins outside the courtyard of a luxurious mansion.
A corner of the garden filled with flowers, a towering iron railing wall - the first encounter between the naive young lady and the talented composer is like standing on the edge of two worlds.
Composing, singing, and playing together built a bridge connecting the world; the rapidly warming feelings, the gradually softening eyes, and the growing anticipation of seeing each other tomorrow were the motivation for them to play hide-and-seek with the housekeeper every day.
The composer brought the wonders of the outside world to the young lady, and the young lady gave the composer pure and unreserved love, dependence, tenderness and a sense of belonging.
The two drifting boats leaned against each other, as if as long as the rope connecting them was still there, they could survive any rough waves and pass through every dangerous and treacherous sea.
After overcoming numerous obstacles such as family troubles, political marriages, and bloody misunderstandings, the two finally made a promise to each other under the starry night.
The composer will create the best-selling song, elope with the eldest daughter to a country where no one knows them, get married, have children, and compose a future that belongs only to the two of them.
The eldest lady completely entrusted her life and destiny to him, becoming his most important listener, fan, and lover, and promised to go with him to the ends of the earth, to hell or heaven.
"The death flag is too obvious..."
Seeing this, Ming Hai rubbed his sleepy eyes and couldn't help but complain.
Glancing to the side, I saw the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family quietly wiping her tears, her face full of emotion and relief. She seemed to be completely immersed in the romantic love between the two people, and she hadn't picked up the popcorn and drink in her hands for a long time.
...Okay, as long as she likes it.
By the way, this movie is two and a half hours long, and the emotional foreshadowing of the male and female protagonists and various forced and embarrassing crisis events alone account for 70% of the length...
If this were written as a novel, it would have probably been criticized as a flop, right?
Fortunately, the male protagonist died not long after.
The murderer is a male villain who is married to the heroine's family. After several failed attempts at intimidation and bribery, he takes his men to beat the frail hero, trying to beat him to death with sticks. Although he escapes successfully with the help of his friends, he is seriously injured and dying, and knows that he does not have much time to live, so he holds on to his last breath to meet the heroine.
Finally, he handed the song that he was going to use to become famous and make money to her in person, left her a bloody kiss, and died peacefully in the heroine's arms.
Seeing this, Toyokawa Shoko covered her mouth in disbelief. She was so shocked that her whole body began to tremble slightly.
Ming Hai put down the popcorn and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, but she held it tightly instead, and a small, warm head nestled into his arms.
"It's too much... Such a bright future is right before their eyes, why does fate have to separate them..."
She tried hard to hold back her sobs. Her delicate sensibility seemed to be completely aroused at this moment, and she shed sad tears together with the heroine in the movie.
