Gravity makes me stronger?

Return to the auditorium.

The song titled"Bitian Walking" comes to an end.

Shoko, who was hiding behind the crowd, looked at Hachiman's profile and asked tentatively:"Hikigaya-san, the music is very nice, isn't it, so do you want to listen to Live with me again in the future?"

"Ah, well, I didn’t expect Takamatsu-san’s singing to be so explosive."

He is not that kind of professional music critic. He can only use the simplest sense of hearing to identify the quality of a piece of music.

The piece that Takamatsu Deng sang just now is not gorgeous, but it sounds good, and it is a sound that will make the ears happy.

"But let’s talk about Live and stuff later, hahaha..."

Hachiman's clumsy excuse made Xiangzi puff up his cheeks angrily and groan, but there was no hint of displeasure at all. Instead, it was more like a little girlfriend acting coquettishly.

‘Hikigaya-san, one day, I will make you fall in love with music!’

"..."

More than the song itself, Hachiman was more interested in the appearances of the beings on the stage, especially Nagasaki Motoyo, the bassist, who remained calm even though the performance was on the verge of collapse.

Hachiman knew that she must be more convinced than anyone else that Takamatsu Light would be able to defeat the fear in his heart on his own.

Team member Su Shi looks like he has a big heart, hats off!

Hachiman sighed repeatedly in his heart, completely unaware that on the other side of the audience area, the band's fans headed by Natsume Shirakaka were about to transform into Haru Shogun, preparing to cause a scene on the stage.

"As long as I play Kasuga Shadow, I'm willing to do anything!"

The unprecedented cry shocked everyone.

All eyes were focused on it. Under the attention of everyone, Natsume Shirakawa shouted loudly without any scruples:"Haruhi Ying, listen to me again, even if it means death, I am willing to do so. ah!!!"

The first person to react was Ruo Yemu. The girl who was more rational than others immediately heard the almost pleading voice in front of her.

Then came Xiangzi. When he heard the familiar song title, his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat. , hurriedly looked forward.

Why Kasuga Shadow?

This was Hachiman's subconscious thought, but after seeing the source of the sound, all the answers came to light.

"that person...It seems to be called White Deer, he is really fanatical. Hachiman murmured in a low voice, noncommittal about the fans' desire for musicians to play hit songs.

However,

Shoko's performance made him a little uneasy.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just a little low blood sugar."Xiangzi held his forehead, his face a little pale.

"Really? How about taking a rest in the corner?"

Hachiman advised with concern, but Xiangzi was very stubborn and wanted to stay where he was.

"It's okay, Hikigaya-san, don't worry about me, just listen to the show."

"good."

Without any further objection, Hachiman continued to focus on the stage. He turned his eyes and met Takamatsu's deep gaze.

"I'm happy that you are willing to listen."

This sentence was obviously meant for Hachiman. As for the other person, it should refer to Shoko beside him.

It seemed that there was indeed a past between Takamatsu Light and Shoko.

So Hachiman nodded and said that he was also honored. He could hear Takamatsu's singing, and then stepped back, wanting to leave the stage to Xiangzi.

However, he suddenly felt a resistance on his sleeves.

He turned around and saw Xiangzi lowering his head sadly and clenching his hands. The fingertips of the sleeves were very strong, like a drowning person grabbing the remaining driftwood.

Hachiman felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to leave Xiangzi alone, so he could only look at the only person he could rely on for help..

What a childhood sweetheart, please save me!

"..."

Unfortunately, there was no response. Ruo Yemu stood there blankly like a piece of wood.

No, are you such a childhood sweetheart?

Fainted by the silly wood, Hachiman sighed and retreated to his original position.

"Don't force yourself, just leave if you can't stand it, no one will blame you for it"

"No, you can't escape here"

"run away...Hey, it's up to you.

Hachiman tilted his head as if in a daze, and listened dumbly as Takamatsu continued to confess:"At that time, I couldn't sing well, and everyone went their separate ways. I thought I hated the band, but..."

A familiar guitar sound sounded.

With just a few notes, Hachiman recognized it as the prelude to"Shadows of Spring", so he looked decisively towards the far right of the stage.

Sure enough, it's you, Cat-chan!

When Lenai mentioned the guitar, he played it as if there was no one around but with great concentration. This time, it was not just a solo guitar, but also the chorus of the entire band.

In the melodious melody, the lyrics that could only be heard in the heart last time turned into a song full of emotion and flowed into Hachiman's heart.

"The haggard heart and the wavering eyes of this world♫"

"I am alone in this ever-fading spring ♫"

It’s the shadow of Haruhi, awsl!

Be satisfied, all the spring boys...

Hachiman originally wanted to hear the inner narration of Natsume Shirakuka crying after hearing"Shadow of Haruhi", dropping small pearls, and lamenting that he couldn't ask for more after hearing this song, so he opened his heart.

However, before Natsume Shiroka's thoughts of being immersed in music, what came to mind first was Shoko's crying voice.

‘Deng, why should we sing"Shadows of Spring"?》...’

Hachiman turned his head suddenly.

There was a silent tear streak across Xiangzi's delicate and pretty face.

He was blinded.

Wanting to know the truth, he instinctively began to sort out everything that had happened before, including the reason why Shoko came to the scene, the words of Takamatsu Light, and the meaning of"Shadow of Spring"...

In an instant, countless ideas flashed through my mind, finally converging into the most reasonable possibility.

Xiangzi, was it possible that he was in the same band as Takamatsu Light?

And this song"Spring Shadow" is the song of the previous band?

Thinking of this, Hachiman opened his mouth to test:"Takamatsu-kun, you probably just like this piece of music."..."

"I understand, but I also like days like that...."

Xiangzi gritted his silver teeth and tried his best not to burst into tears, but the complicated emotions swept over him like a flood that broke through the dam.

If it hadn't been for such a big change in her family, she would never have wanted to continue playing with Crychic until the end of time.

But the reality is so cruel, it will cut you in the weakest place in your heart cruelly.

‘It hurts...’

‘I really want to go back...’

‘I don’t want this kind of life either....！’

Xiangzi's sad voice kept coming, which made Hachiman extremely worried and slightly sulky at the same time.

What do you mean by not wanting such a life? I'm worried about you....Aren’t everyone else a joke?

"The past has passed, and all you can still have is the present and the future, or is everything now meaningless to you?"

Hachiman's voice was calm with a hint of harshness. Xiangzi looked up, and the twisted eyes of the dead fish were full of unwillingness.

This was the first time Xiangzi saw that the usually extremely calm boy showed such emotional fluctuations. His expression was a little panicked all of a sudden

‘what did i just say...’

‘Xiangzi, why are you still wallowing in the sadness of the past? Isn’t it the young man in front of you who deserves to be cherished the most right now?’

"Sorry, Hikigaya-san, that's not what I meant."

Feeling guilty, but not knowing how to explain it, Xiangzi couldn't help but hold Hachiman's hand.

The feelings of each other were transmitted through the skin of the fingertips.

At this moment, Hachiman was startled, and the overflowing painful feelings were abruptly suppressed. After stuffing it back, all that was left was a complex feeling of shame and throbbing.

"I should say I'm sorry, it's my fault for saying such emotional words."

Hachiman wanted to withdraw his hand, but unexpectedly, it was tightly grasped.

Then, he felt the other party's slightly cool and warm fingers slipping into the gaps between his fingers and sticking tightly to his palm.

Hachiman's energy and blood flowed gushing, his face suddenly turned red, as if he had become red-hot...Power form.

Maintaining the posture of interlocking his fingers, Xiangzi pursed his moist lips and wiped away his tears. His rosy face was even more adorable under the reflection of the stage lights.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care at all."

Let go of your hands first and then talk, okay?"

"That, this..."

Before Hachiman could speak, he felt the strength on his hand increase again. He saw Xiangzi's eyes moving slightly. The negative emotions just now had been swept away. Her lips parted lightly and she said,"Five seconds, just give me five more seconds." Got it"

"..."

Hachiman, who had completely lost the strength to retort and was completely captured by the girl's Rouyi, covered his face with his free hand and nodded dully.

"Hikigaya-san, how long has it been since you shook hands with a girl?"

I don't know how long it took, but with a teasing tone, Xiangzi said

"is the first time..."

As he said that the article was not on topic, Hachiman felt the temperature on his face rise again.

To be honest, if we just talk about holding hands, the memory of holding hands with my mother probably ended in elementary school, but if you include holding hands with Komachi, it can be traced back to junior high school!

However, Hachiman, who still had a bit of shame, honestly hid this matter in his heart.

"It's my first time too..."

Xiangzi said this and avoided looking shyly.

If you're so embarrassed, don't say it!

For a time, the awkward atmosphere between the two reached its peak.

"Okay, five seconds..."

Ruo Yemu, who had been observing silently until just now, finally couldn't bear it any longer, spoke up to remind him.

The two people who were not enjoying the band's performance panicked and let go of their hands, and in tacit understanding, they distanced themselves a little bit.

"Thanks, Mu."

Why are you thanking me?

Ruo Yemu looked at Xiangzi without knowing why.

"The show is over..."

"What?"Hachiman opened his mouth in surprise.

Didn't he just start singing the second song?

Recall that he first comforted Xiangzi for a few words, and then...held hands...And then it's over?

My right hand, give me back the time I lost!

"There seems to be something wrong with Su Shi's appearance."

When they heard Shoko's words and turned their attention back to the stage again, everyone in the band packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Only Nagasaki Motoyo didn't move yet, standing straight on the stage with a dark face. The numbers on the head are extremely dazzling.
