Rock Girl Descends Beside Me!

"You've misunderstood, we're not a couple!" Toyokawa Sakiko was startled, then turned to see Riki blushing beside her and quickly explained.

As if! What idiot would date Riki?

He is quite handsome, and his temper is good too. He often makes me laugh, and he's barely within the type I like... but that doesn't mean I like him!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Yes, we are just very good friends!" Riki said seriously, then felt his foot being stomped on hard. He turned to look at Toyokawa Sakiko, who had a blank expression.

What's that supposed to mean?

"Sorry, I stepped on you by accident," Toyokawa Sakiko said expressionlessly, feeling annoyed.

Is it your turn to deny it?

Damn it, Teacher Da Xiang is bullying me like this.

You're asking for it!

Toyokawa Sakiko looked over again. Riki subtly turned his head and said to the police officer, "We're just heading home. And by the way, I'm an adult now."

A college student who dances at bars.

The police officer sneered. The air was already 98% filled with the sour smell of love, and they still claimed they weren't a couple. After a casual warning, he continued on his FFF group, ah no, his righteous police duty.

"Oh right, by the time we come over next time, the money from the video site should be withdrawable," Riki said. Toyokawa Sakiko's piano performance had surpassed two million views on the site, earning quite a bit of money, and he had invested in more than one platform.

Of course, there's the bonus of Toyokawa Sakiko being a beautiful girl, but more importantly, it's Riki's compositions that are the real credit.

Toyokawa Sakiko had to admit that although Riki was sometimes unreliable, he seemed to be a truly talented person. No wonder he could say things like 'You guys are the challengers.'

"How much money specifically?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked.

"At least a few yen," Riki thought.

Toyokawa Sakiko's heart fluttered.

This seemed like a good way to make money, but there was only one problem: whenever she appeared on camera, the bullet comments were always filled with things like "Teacher Da Xiang." She didn't even need a translation software to understand those Chinese characters!

Toyokawa Sakiko was conflicted.

The two pushed their bicycles home, their legs aching.

"It's your fault for wanting to go so far away," Toyokawa Sakiko complained.

"Who was it crying with tears streaming down their face?" Riki retorted.

"Who was it that broke the chain?" Toyokawa Sakiko narrowed her eyes.

"Isn't it because you're too heavy?" Riki pondered.

Could it be, the wide-bodied Da Xiang?

Toyokawa Sakiko's expression turned displeased, and she punched Riki's arm. It was small and soft.

She seems to have become much more cheerful. She wouldn't have made jokes like this with me before.

Riki thought this as he was about to push the bicycle back to its original spot. Suddenly, he saw a silver-haired girl squatting there, with two different colored eyes.

Riki recognized the beautiful girl at a glance.

Innate Meow Meow Holy Body, Kaname Runa!?

"Do you know her?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked.

"No, she doesn't know me," Riki shook his head. He was also puzzled as to why Kaname Runa would appear here.

Kaname Runa noticed Riki approaching and stared directly at him.

Kaname Runa: (゜ー゜)

Riki: ∑(っ °Д °;)っ

What's going on? I shouldn't have done anything to attract cats, and I don't have any catnip on me.

"Bicycle, mine," Kaname Runa pointed at the bicycle Riki was pushing.

Riki: w(?Д?)w

Holy crap, the victim found me!

Riki quickly explained, "Sorry, I borrowed your bicycle just now because of an emergency, and I broke the chain. I'll get it fixed."

"It's fine, I don't use it much," Kaname Runa said calmly.

It took Riki a moment to realize she meant she didn't use the bicycle often and walked to school instead, which fit her persona as a Humanoid Meow Meow.

Kaname Runa took out her phone from her pocket and opened her photo album. The pictures showed Riki riding the bicycle through traffic, with Toyokawa Sakiko holding his waist in the back seat.

"Interesting man," Kaname Runa said, looking at Riki.

Accurate, pertinent, and to the point.

Riki considered himself handsome, dashing, and humorous, but the bicycle incident in his hands seemed more important right now. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Kaname Runa take his phone from his pocket and add his contact information.

Riki: "?"

"Do you play an instrument?" Kaname Runa asked.

"I know a little..." Riki said modestly.

"Then be sure to come to Ring, I'll wait for you." Kaname Runa said and then jogged away, completely unaware of her thoughts.

Am I not getting deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of the orchestra? Riki was a little worried.

The gravity vortex probably hasn't captured him yet.

Very good, starting today, I'm entering Chapter Beihai mode. If I encounter a gravity crisis, I'll run first!

You know, Toyokawa Sakiko is my brother. We've defeated many opponents side-by-side. Mikumura Shioka and I have known each other for a long time. This guy is incredibly strong. I think the three of us can create great chemistry. I've decided to bring my talent to Mujika. As for Mygo, I wish them all the best at Ring.

Riki was talking nonsense in his heart. He didn't plan to get involved deeply with either Mujika or Mygo. After all, he just wanted to help Toyokawa Sakiko, especially since she suddenly appeared at his house.

There won't be any new beautiful girls descending upon his house after this, right?

Riki and Toyokawa Sakiko returned to their rented apartment and shortly after received a message from Nagasaki Sose.

Nagasaki Sose (Note: Scheming Little Sister): [Where is Sakiko-chan now?]

In the high-rise apartment, Nagasaki Sose, lying in bed, received a reply.

Riki (Note: Annoyance): [In my heart.]

Nagasaki Sose's face darkened. Just as she was about to reply, her hand slipped and the phone hit her nose. She immediately clutched her reddened nose and cried out in pain on the bed.

This guy is really annoying!

Riki woke up and found himself back in his own home. But why was his chest so heavy?

He looked down and saw Toyokawa Sakiko sleeping on top of him.

Teacher Da Xiang, what a perfect sleeping face.

Toyokawa Sakiko woke up groggily and saw Riki's face when she looked up, immediately slapping him in fright.

"Aren't you going a bit too far? You're taking advantage of me by sleeping in my room." Riki said indignantly.

"...Sorry." Toyokawa Sakiko said awkwardly, quickly changing the subject, "Right, the video, how's the video?"

Riki was just about to open his computer. After a few days, the video's views should have increased again.

As soon as he opened the website, he saw his video had hit the trending page.

Riki: "?"

*******

If you have votes, please cast them. This is very important for a new book. I'll do anything!

Chapter 8: Don't misunderstand Beethoven, you're the challenger!

Riki realized he had underestimated the love of the silly netizens for Toyokawa Sakiko. He thought there wouldn't be many views in a few days, but he didn't expect the new video to hit the trending page in just two days, with an absurdly high number of likes, shares, and comments.

Riki glanced at the backend and found that the video's excellent performance had led to a massive push from the system a day earlier.

Uncle...

There were also many comments.

"Customer Service Xiao Xiang practices piano in secret after work, I'm crying."

"This Coser is too accurate, isn't it really Sakiko herself?"

"Teacher Da Xiang has such strong piano skills!"

"Is this the White Moonlight Sakiko? This little guy is about to fall into depravity..."

"Isn't anyone going to praise the Musical Score? There really isn't. Sakiko is cute."

"The beautiful girl is so pleasing to the eye, can you perform a tearful escape next time?"

"These people are really..." Toyokawa Sakiko's expression was hesitant. After looking at the comments with translation software, she was deeply shocked by the abstract nature of the Chinese internet.

As a veteran double agent of Xiaohongshu and Sun Ba, Riki just smiled faintly at this introductory level of abstraction. Being a "jimei" on Xiaohongshu and a "shushu" on Sun Ba, he understood it all.

"Ahem." Riki rebuked, "These people are too detestable."

"But it seems like many people like it." Toyokawa Sakiko looked carefully at the comments under the video. If only she appeared, she wouldn't have achieved this number of views. Half of the reason was that Riki's score was very pleasant to listen to.

Although many people cheered with "Teacher Da Xiang," "Customer Service Xiao Xiang," and "Camel Xiangzi," which made her very displeased, she also smiled when she scrolled down to see the compliments for Riki's music.

It seems there are still people who understand.

Toyokawa Sakiko noticed that Riki's account already had 50,000 followers. He had previously posted pure music videos, so most of his followers were genuine music fans, who valued purity and sincerity and highly approved of Riki, the young musical genius. When they saw a large influx of crazy fans after the new video was released, they were all bewildered.

I thought I was following a pure and kind music UP主. I remember him as a graceful young man. How did so many abstract talents suddenly flood in?

"Let me see, the followers increased by 20,000, and the money from the views is also considerable." Riki looked at the backend, and Toyokawa Sakiko also showed a happy expression.

"Then shall we continue to play new songs?" Toyokawa Sakiko, having tasted success, said excitedly.

"I haven't conceived my new song yet. How about we film a daily life type of video?" Riki thought.

Toyokawa Sakiko thought for a moment, then browsing a video website, she asked curiously, "What's a 'don't laugh' challenge?"

"A lump."

"Genshin?"

"Holy crap, Genshin!"

"And reading comments?"

"Water-lovers using it to make water videos."

Half an hour passed between their questions and answers. Toyokawa Sakiko didn't find it boring at all. For her, who was under heavy pressure from a sudden family change, nothing could relieve her stress more than this. Seeing Riki's complaining face, a smile couldn't help but form on hers.

"It's almost time for dinner, how about we film a cooking video?" Riki said.

"Cooking? My specialty is Italian pasta," Toyokawa Sakiko thought.

I'm also good with Italian cannons, we're a match made in heaven.

Riki thought saying that might get him hit.

They bought Italian pasta at the supermarket and returned. Riki turned on the camera he had bought earlier and started filming. Since it was a daily vlog, he could be a bit more casual.

"Today, my roommate is going to make dinner for me. Her name is Sakiko. Yep, her real name is Sakiko. She just came to China, so she's not very good at Chinese yet. I'll be translating the whole time."

Although he said he was translating, it was only thanks to a certain miraculous ability that helped Riki cheat and translate.

As for what people would say after the video was posted, Riki could already imagine a bunch of people filled with envy and jealousy.
