Chen's consciousness had not dissipated just now.
He clearly remembered the pained expression on Miss Liang's face when Hongxia pushed her to the ground.
It was all his fault, he should have controlled his emotions, he absolutely had to control his emotions.
He could have prevented all these misunderstandings from happening.
"It should be Liang who apologizes to Chen, not Chen who needs to apologize to Liang!"
Hongxia's words did not distract Chen from his gaze on the blue-haired girl's retreating figure.
What is Liang's opinion of him now?
he does not know
He wanted Ryo to stay in the rehearsal room; he wanted to ask the girl this question.
But he didn't dare. He didn't know how to face the question Miss Liang had just asked him, and he didn't know how to face Miss Liang now.
He feared that once this final silence was broken, he would never have the chance to be with the girl who had helped him countless times again.
The blue-haired girl did not linger in the rehearsal room any longer.
After a brief pause, she left the room and closed the door behind her.
Leaving only Hongxia and Chen in the small space.
Chapter 122 Dreams
"Are you feeling any better physically?"
After Miss Liang left, Hongxia asked Chen, who was in her arms, a question.
She witnessed firsthand how the boy's complexion improved, but the horrifying bluish-purple discoloration that had previously covered a large area of his face...
This made it impossible for her to settle down.
"I'm much better now. I was able to recover so quickly thanks to Hongxia's help earlier."
The boy in her arms tried to get up, wanting to show that he was alright.
Struggling, Chen resisted the helplessness and slowly straightened his legs.
He underestimated his weakness.
He hadn't recovered from yesterday's fever when he just experienced such a huge shock.
He lost his balance the moment he tried to support his body weight with his legs.
"Really, don't be so stubborn!"
With lightning-fast reflexes, Hongxia caught the boy as he was about to fall from behind.
Slowly, with Hongxia's help, the boy's center of gravity returned to the ground.
To prevent him from acting recklessly again, and also to give him a sense of security.
Hongxia wrapped her arms around the boy's shoulders, holding him tightly in her embrace once again.
The most direct reason for everything Chen experienced today is that Liang unilaterally violated the strategy that everyone had agreed upon to end the band's run.
But in a sense, the emotional turmoil Chen experienced today was caused by her own actions.
As the initial initiator and architect of this project, she bears undeniable responsibility for the current situation.
If they had listened to Liang's advice yesterday and called Chen before the performance to tell him everything they had been hiding, letting Chen witness the end of the band's first performance...

Did things really have to escalate to this point?
Hongxia lost someone very important to her; her older sister was also often away from home when she was little.
After the passing of a significant person, Xingge gave up her dreams and returned to her side.

Even after her change of heart, the arrogant girl remains arrogant; the impression she leaves on Nijigasaki is still mostly one of sternness.
Her older sister's lack of communication skills led Hongxia to begin learning tolerance and understanding of others long ago, a skill beyond her years.
Beneath her sunny exterior lies a lack of security that she herself is unaware of.
Hongxia cherishes the important people around her immensely.
She wants to move forward together with everyone she values, and together they will build their own future.
However, all of this is predicated on the fact that everyone she cares about is well and by her side.
Always observant and attentive to everyone, she noticed that, without realizing it, Chen from Fanxing always had a refreshing drink in her hands.
Coffee, tea, Monster Energy
Chen's favorite is the white-canned Monster Energy drink, especially the chilled one.
Noticing this, she would often hand Chen a can when he came to Fanxing.
She never accepted the money Chen would offer for the drinks.
Until one day, Chen, who had arrived at Fanxing early, mysteriously pulled her into the rehearsal room and took off her schoolbag.
Chen gave her two brand new drumsticks.
Upon seeing the logo on the drumsticks, she, as a drummer, instantly knew the price range of the gift.
It's very expensive. She used to only dare to look at musical instruments from afar in music stores. It takes real courage for her to actually handle and play with them.
Her attempt to return them failed; the expensive drumsticks were forcibly stuffed into her arms.
That day, she returned home and took off her coat.
As she moved, a card and a note fell out of her pocket.
Who unknowingly slipped these two items into her hands?
Unfolding the slightly crumpled note, Hongxia learned the answer to her question from the information on it.
That was a bank card that Chen had given her.
Chen wrote on the note that the money was for the band's operating expenses, and that the card could be used for any band expenditures. He also included the card's PIN at the end.
Chen chose his timing very cleverly; he happened to be absent from the Starry Night event the next day.
All the messages Hongxia sent him about returning the bank card were read but not replied to.
Helpless, she turned to her older sister for help.
Unlike her, this proud and arrogant woman was very honest about money, and the next day she excitedly went to the bank to check the authenticity of the deposit.
The amount was as large as the boy had written on the note.
She wrested the card back from her somewhat tempted sister and carefully kept it safe.
She did not use any of the funds in that card.
But she did put those brand-new drumsticks to good use.
The break-in period for the new drumsticks was surprisingly short, perhaps because they were indeed quite expensive.
Or perhaps it's because every time Hongxia picks up those expensive drumsticks, she remembers the boy's figure.
But having accepted such an expensive gift, she secretly conspired with others to prevent Chen from receiving any energizing drinks.
Is it because she can't bear to spend such a small amount of money on a drink?
No, not at all.
Teenagers who drink too much of these beverages will occasionally find excuses to leave everyone's sight.
After this happened several times, Hongxia also became suspicious.
During one of her followings, she saw a boy leaning against the wall, clutching his chest and panting heavily.
Excessive caffeine intake ravaged his body and weakened his spirit.
His already exhausted body was forced to continue working.
From that moment on, Hongxia clearly realized that things couldn't continue like this.
The traces left by the passing of her loved ones haunted her memory like a raging storm.
She had to stop it from continuing.
What she sought was never just a moment's companionship.
She wanted to stay with everyone from the disbanded band forever, and Chen was, of course, an indispensable part of that.
Without the support of caffeine, the boy's fatigue was fully exposed to everyone.
This apparent fatigue was a key factor in her persuading everyone to end the band's run.
The only thing she couldn't convince, the only thing she kept hidden.
He is a boy who is incredibly important to everyone.
Tolerance and understanding are, in her opinion, essential for maintaining relationships with important people in your life.
Always thinking of others, she often overlooks some things.
She ignored Chen's thoughts and crudely tried to solve the problem by concealing the truth.
She overlooked Yili's dependence on Chen, almost ruining the band's first performance.
She rejected Liang's idea of confronting the issue directly, causing the boy in her arms to suffer even more harm.
Aside from expressing concern, she didn't know what words to use to explain her actions.
Her silence ended with the boy's somewhat nonsensical question.
"Nijika, I remember you once said that your dream was to walk onto the Budokan with everyone from the disbanded band. Or even a bigger stage, right?"
"Yes, Chen still remembers..."
In casual conversations in the past, she had mentioned this somewhat unrealistic dream to the boy.
Hongxia still remembers Chen's response at the time.
Chen said he would work together with Hongxia and everyone from the disbanded band.
To realize this seemingly unattainable dream one day.
However, the boy's next words completely threw Hongxia into disarray.
"Hongxia, should I quit and end the band?"
"Have I already become a burden to you?"
Chapter 123 A Luck Before Destruction
What did Chen just say?
Incredulous, Hongxia repeated the words the boy had uttered in her mind.
Those few incredibly brief words caused the girl's thoughts to come to a standstill.
Why?!
Almost at the same moment Hongxia fully grasped the meaning behind Chen's words, she tightened her grip on the boy's body with unprecedented force.
Why would Chen say he wanted to quit and end the band?!
Instinctively, the girl's body rejected Chen's words.
segmentation
Can his presence truly be described as having a "positive" impact on the end of the band?
Countless times, the boy questioned the thoughts in his heart.
The purpose of ending the band's existence was completely different from Mygo's.
Compared to Mygo, most of the members of the band who ended their careers dreamed of making the band bigger and stronger.
One mile, Rainbow Summer, and Coolness
Each of them has an incredibly genuine love for music.
Nijigasaki's dream is to have the band perform at the Budokan.
