Banami then said, "Or perhaps you've fallen for me?"
Actually, Hanami was just joking, waiting for Hachiman Kairin to laugh and scold, "How could that be?"
But Hai Ling looked up at him, and after a moment's hesitation, she said seriously, "No."
But the next moment, Hailin subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, but Banami clearly saw that her coat was gradually seeping through and getting wet.
“I…” Suddenly, Hailing’s cheeks turned bright red, a color she had never seen before.
But then she heard the boy on the other end say, "This is the most unique confession I've ever heard."
Hai Ling didn't know whether she should feel ashamed or annoyed, but at this moment, all she felt was a surge of impulse.
"Hanami, you were the one who said you would help me integrate into Ave Mujica, right?" Hailin didn't mention a word about Hanami's so-called "confession" just now.
Seeing this, Yai looked slightly puzzled, then nodded gently: "But wasn't that already..."
“That’s not enough,” Hailing said bluntly.
What exactly did she mean? Banai wasn't stupid, and the next moment, Hailing pulled him away from the coffee shop.
"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't paid yet."
"I can't wait any longer!" She was about to burst with suppressed emotions.
Soon, Hailin pulled Banami back to her dormitory. At this time, the other members of Ave Mujica were no longer there.
Hai Ling's breathing became slightly rapid, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Wouldn't this be considered 'blind spot under the lamp'?"
She had just closed the door when Banami wrapped her arms around her waist, and their eyes met, just like when they were on the subway.
Hai Ling felt no shame whatsoever; it was just a powerful desire that had been suppressed for many years and suddenly erupted.
"Hurry up and do it, or it will revert back to normal by tomorrow."
Unable to suppress the flutter in his heart any longer, Banami gently unzipped the coat that belonged to her, which was draped over her shoulders. Her figure was more captivating than ever before, and more alluring than any scenery.
Hailing whispered in the boy's ear, "This time, don't mess around with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Banami could no longer restrain himself and reached out to steadily pick her up.
At the most vibrant age, he met her at her most repressed.
Hai Ling's lips curled up slightly as she said, "Didn't those women say I was seducing you? If I didn't actually seduce you, wouldn't all the torment they've put me through?"
How can you truly integrate into Ave Mujica if you don't develop the closest relationship with Hanami? This is the gold standard certified by the captain!
Then, Banami discovered that Hailin was a true fairy with a sacred body.
*****
Lixi, who hadn't slept much all night, came to a conclusion after tossing and turning.
"Impossible. How could Banami and Kairin get together? Kairin is so aloof and looks down on everyone. How could she possibly be interested in a scumbag like Banami?"
"As expected, I was just overthinking it."
Even so, Lixi still decided to visit Hailing's house.
Well, it's not that she doesn't trust Banami; she's just visiting a friend who's not feeling well.
However, when they arrived at Hailing's house, they heard a rather familiar voice.
"Damn it, she ran so fast! How did she disappear in an instant? I knew I hadn't tormented her enough earlier."
This... it sounds like Xiangzi's voice, but this kind of violent speech doesn't seem like something Xiangzi would say.
When Lixi turned around, she was nowhere to be seen. After a while, Lixi shook her head slightly, thinking that she must have misheard.
With that thought in mind, she slowly walked up to Hailing's dormitory and gently pressed the doorbell, but no one answered.
Normally, Lixi would have given up.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
When they switched bodies, Hailin gave her and Banami each a key, but in the end, only Banami's key was returned. As for why she kept Hailin's key, she didn't know; she just did it subconsciously. She didn't expect it to come in handy now.
She quietly opened the door without making a sound. She could have done it openly and honestly, but for some reason, she just wanted to do it this way.
Moreover, as soon as she opened the door, she heard a faint, surprising sound coming from inside the entryway.
That voice, which sounded like both clouds and rain, was just like the intimate words that Banami would say to her when they were being affectionate, making Riki's scalp tingle.
"Still nauseating? What the hell are you talking about?!" Li hope shouted in his heart in frustration.
Upon hearing these words, Lixi instinctively quickened her pace... quickened her pace... and then sprinted to the living room.
However, while she was still fantasizing about the pure, aloof Hai Ling, she saw the scene she least wanted to see: the two embracing each other, which made her involuntarily cover her head and scream.
My boyfriend is pure and innocent, and my friends are incredibly loyal. There's no way I could be cuckolded!
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Blue Rose
The night was hazy, with scattered lights dotting the dark blue sky. The evening breeze, carrying the coolness of early spring, swept over the majestic buildings of the Fengchuan Group.
As Banami Yu slowly walked out of the revolving door, the glass curtain wall reflected the city's neon lights, making his shadow appear long and slender.
Along the way, regardless of age or gender, the group's employees would consciously step aside and give way to him, walking slowly and even breathing very softly. This respectful yet distant scene had long been the norm for him.
With her phone between her fingers, Banami spoke softly to the person on the other end of the line, her tone casual and lighthearted.
"Yes, I already told you, I just finished a meeting and I'm on my way there now."
Because I didn't forget your live performance, I only said a few words in the meeting today, which only lasted two hours.
Hahaha... Just kidding, don't worry, Xiao Xiang, I'll definitely be there before the live show starts.
I've also prepared a little surprise for you...
Don't ask, you'll find out when the time comes.
As he finished speaking, he stepped out of the Fengchuan Group building. The evening breeze carried the faint fragrance of camphor trees from the street, dispelling some of the lingering stuffiness in the conference room.
The night was hazy and veiled, the streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians hurrying along, all busy making a living, yet they all seemed to be in a different world from him. He stood on the steps, surrounded by an innate sense of alienation.
The old butler was already waiting by his side. He stepped forward and gently draped a black suit jacket over his shoulders, protecting him from the chill of the evening breeze.
Not far away, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom stood quietly by the roadside, its gleaming body reflecting the neon lights of the street. The driver stood respectfully by the car door, head bowed, waiting for orders.
After hanging up the phone, Banami ran her fingertips over the screen and sighed softly to herself.
If it weren't for the girl on the other end of the phone, who was always full of energy and ideals, being so real, all of this would have felt unreal to him.
However... just as he promised Xiao Xiang back then.
He was in charge of managing the Fengchuan Group, while Xiaoxiang continued to pursue his musical dreams. He suddenly remembered the first fan-made video he created when he first came into this world, that clumsy boy who could only express himself through music.
His fingertips twitched slightly unconsciously, his knuckles bending slightly—an instinct honed from years of practicing. His strumming motion was almost a reflex, as if he were still holding that familiar guitar.
Even if he doesn't become the president of the Toyokawa Group, he can still become a talented musician.
But everything comes at a price; you have to give up something to gain something. This is an unchanging truth in the world, and even someone with a system like him is no exception.
"Young Master Xi, what's wrong?" the old butler asked with concern.
"No, it's because life is too dreamy right now, so I just indulge in a bit of artsy stuff occasionally." Banami instantly switched back to her usual self, her originally cold expression fading away, replaced by a relaxed and easygoing smile.
The old butler said with a smile, "Miss Xiangzi is still waiting for you to come and see her concert."
After saying that, the old butler handed the bouquet of roses that Banami had ordered to the boy and said, "Young Master Yu, these are the blue roses you requested. Each one is individually wrapped."
Banami accepted it with satisfaction, her fingertips brushing against the petals. The deep blue petals were warm and delicate, carrying a faint floral fragrance that quietly permeated the evening breeze.
Sending flowers may not be particularly innovative, but it's a safe and reliable way to touch people's hearts.
Moreover, he was sending gifts to more than one person.
Or rather, if he really dared to give it only to Xiao Xiang, Miao Meng's eyes would pierce him to death, and Hatsune Miku, who looked like a punching bag, always had a resentful look in her eyes, as would Little Cucumber and Dolphin.
Oh dear, it seems there are only names that are corrected, not nicknames that are wrong.
He had personally experienced the nickname "dolphin," and it was truly amazing.
Unbeknownst to him, the girls of Ave Mujica seemed to have become inextricably linked to him, and those little moments pieced together the most vibrant colors in his life now.
"Hey, why is there an extra one?" Banami looked down at the bouquet and then looked at the old butler with a puzzled expression.
These blue roses are extremely rare, not because of their price, but because they are rare specimens taken from the flower cultivation laboratory of the Toyokawa Group, and now they cannot be bought even if you have money.
He only remembered to give the investment documents to the girls at today's concert when he happened to see them.
The old butler replied with a smile, "Just in case, in case you don't have enough roses, young master, it's good to have an extra one, it will always come in handy."
Banami gave him a serious look, silently thinking to herself: He just wanted to give one to each of the girls at Ave Mujica, no more, no less, just right.
In your mind, is your young master the kind of person who flirts with everyone and sends flowers to everyone he meets?
In the end, Banami didn't say anything more, but chuckled and said, "You have a good eye for people."
Then, holding the flowers, I got into the black luxury car, thinking happily to myself, "I'll give you this extra flower."
Of course... whoever performs well gets it.
As the neon lights outside the window receded into the distance, Banami thought of the live performance by Mother Chicken, where Xiaoxiang proudly told her that half of the ticket buyers were audience members from outside Tokyo.
This also means that Ave Mujica's popularity has spread beyond Tokyo.
Or perhaps, what Xiaoxiang wanted to express was that Banami's sacrifice of her musical ideals for her was not in vain.
Thinking of this, Banami couldn't help but laugh. Soon, they arrived at the dome venue where Mother Chicken was performing. There were already many audience members holding light sticks, forming a long line as they entered the venue one after another.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel happy for those girls.
But as he passed the open-air parking lot, he seemed to see something and said something.
"Stop for a moment," he instructed.
"Yes, young master." Soon, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped beside him.
As Banami walked in a certain direction, she heard a sleazy voice.
"Hey little sister, you're from out of town, right? You're here to see a concert? What's so great about this? Come play with your brother, I promise you'll have a lot of fun."
The thug, dressed in a floral shirt and with brightly colored hair, leaned casually against the wall, eyeing the girl opposite him with malicious intent.
Opposite him stood a petite, timid girl wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of clear but somewhat flustered eyes.
She was clutching an Ave Mujica light stick tightly in her hand, clearly showing that she was a loyal fan.
Banana couldn't believe that there would be such a clueless guy in the world of BanG Dream! He walked over and, without saying a word, stuck his hand out towards the guy's butt.
Caught off guard, the thug lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
"Iron?!" The thug turned around, his eyes red.
As a result, Banami snapped her fingers lightly, and two security guards in black suits and sunglasses appeared.
"Throw this guy into the river."
"Yes, Young Master Xi."
After saying that, the two security guards restrained the thug.
"Hey, what are you trying to do? I didn't do anything..."
Suddenly, a sound like a diving splash came from the river not far away.
Banami ignored this unpleasant little thing and said to the girl wearing a mask in front of her, "Excuse me, are you from out of town to see Ave Mujica's concert?"
Because she was carrying a large suitcase, she looked like she had just arrived.
The girl's features looked somewhat familiar, but Banami couldn't quite place her. However, he naturally wouldn't say it out loud, otherwise it would seem like he was flirting with her.
The girl nodded emphatically, and Banami said, "I'm sorry for disturbing your mood. As compensation..."
Actually, this had nothing to do with Banami, but since the other party was a fan of Ave Mujica, he considered her a guest. He took out a blue rose and said, "This is for you. I think it's called Blue Enchantress. Have a nice evening."
The girl wearing a mask instinctively took the blue rose, her eyes widening slightly.
Banami nodded slightly and then left.
For him, this should be considered doing a good deed every day. He showed off and then ran away. How exciting!
Holding roses and watching his retreating figure, the masked girl said in a soft voice, "Hanami-kun, it's been a long time."
Seeing the boy get into the car and leave, the girl wearing a mask quickly followed the long queue to enter the venue, but carefully protected the blue rose in the crowded flow of people.
