retrieve a bunch of dreams

"Minase, let's eat here!" Aoi opened the door, took the bag from Xiao Zhi's hand, and asked Tachibana, "Is this Tachibana's medicine? I'll take it directly to the room."

"Thank you." Tachibana changed her shoes and entered the door first.

Otsuka Taiyo and Sano had already rehearsed the songs for the competition in the living room, and when they heard Tachibana came back, they stopped after singing the last verse.

"Tachibana, come and listen!" Sun shouted toward the door, "Hurry up and try Bass!"

"Heh, I feel like you can go on stage without me~" Tachibana walked into the living room and said sourly.

"Take it." Sano handed the bass to Tachibana, looking at Xiaozhi behind Tachibana, Sano raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, "It's more than an hour late, hehe, what did you do after we left~ "

"What do you care about us~" Tachibana rolled her eyes with a smile, "It's about to start!"

Sano looked at Xiaozhi with a smirk, Xiaozhi pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows.

Sun took out a sheet music from the coffee table and looked at it, "Is it this one?"

Otsuka took the sheet music, on which was written "Your Face Under the Cherry Blossom Tree", and bass was written in the note, "This is this one." Otsuka put the Bass sheet music on the music stand, and said to Tachibana, "You only need to dial Shrapnel, as much as you can follow, try it again and then say."

Xiao Zhi sat on the sofa and told Li Hua, "Don't force it, don't pull the wound on your hand to bleed."

"It's just a few cuts, don't worry." Tachibana said, holding Bass and sitting in front of the music stand, "Let's start."

Tachibana didn't really challenge the limit of his right hand, he knew that the poor recovery of the wound would affect the final three days later.

After playing it again, Tachibana felt that he could only play like this, "Sano, I can't handle your solo."

Sano said, "It's okay, the same passage, I will add a solo on the guitar to make up for it."

"Sano must add a guitar solo, otherwise the place will look empty." Otsuka said, pointing to the sheet music in front of Tachibana with his drum stick.

"Eh? Have you changed the drum stick?" Tachibana grabbed Otsuka's drum stick, held it in his hand and looked it over carefully, looked at the logo on the tail of the drum stick, Tachibana touched it and said, "This brand is not cheap. , Heh, there is actually pure black, which suits you very well."

"Well, I bought it at the musical instrument store I went to yesterday." Otsuka said and looked at the sun with a somewhat smug expression.

"Taiyang gave it to him." Sano added, "Before you came back, he had already shown off to me and Aoi~"

"Show off? Haha, it's really not Otsuka's style~" Tachibana smiled and returned the drum stick to Otsuka, "I don't think the sun is very romantic~"

"Do you still want to rehearse?" Aoi walked into the living room and asked everyone, "Dinner is almost ready, when will you finish rehearsing?"

"Let Tachibana play "Decisive Battle to the End" and "Little Boat" each, and then we can eat." Otsuka said, and found the bass scores of the two songs from the coffee table and handed them to Tachibana.

"Well, let's have dinner in 10 minutes!" Aoi finished speaking and was about to enter the kitchen.

"Aoi!" Otsuka called to stop Aoi, and Aoi turned around to look at him again, "Don't be too tired recently, we will take turns cooking after the game, you should rest as much as possible."

Sano took Aoi's hand and asked Otsuka, "What do you mean?"

"I forgot to tell you that the time for Aoi's surgery has been scheduled. Two months later, Professor Roman.Empire will spare a week to come to the Central Hospital to perform surgery on Aoi and study the countermeasures to cure Aoi's heart problems." After Otsuka finished speaking, he noticed the nervousness on Aoi's face, so he smiled gently and said, "Aoi, we all hope you get well soon, it's okay, my brothers are with you."

"Yeah." Aoi nodded slightly, looked at Sano, and then slowly walked into the kitchen.

"He's afraid of surgery." Sano said.

"I know." Otsuka said in a doctor's tone, "Sano needs to encourage Aoi more, and let him maintain a good attitude before the operation. The arrival of the operation means that Aoi's condition will turn for the better, and this matter should be treated with caution."

Sano nodded and said seriously, "I know what to do."

Xiaozhi flipped through the scores on the coffee table, picked up the score of "Little Boat" to read.

"Whose is this?" Xiaozhi turned over the sheet music for everyone to read.

"Who else~" Sano said, "Such a special recording method, only top students can do it~"

"Hey, Sano! If you don't talk about me for a day, your mouth will itch, right?" Sun called out.

"Hahaha, this is really the first time I've seen such a sheet music!" Xiaozhi took another sheet music of the same song, which was the guitar part, Xiaozhi laughed and said, "Everyone's sheet music is similar, Only Taiyang’s notation, hehe, mark up arrows and down arrows on the lyrics, do you use pictographic symbols to record singing and variations?”

"Taiyang is an excellent student in the Department of Economics and Management, but he has no professional training in music." Otsuka said with a gentle smile, he couldn't tell if he was joking or simply stating the facts, "We call him a 'music lover', but he After hearing this nickname, I was very angry~"

"Music lovers? Hahaha~" Xiaozhi laughed, "The way music lovers are marked is really special! Hehe, but talking about Taiyang hurts his self-esteem."

"I, what do I have, self-esteem!" Sun said ironically, and walked directly in front of Otsuka, grabbed the black drum stick in Otsuka's hand, "Give it back to me!"

"Hey!" Otsuka didn't let go, and quickly said with a smile, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, you can't take it back if you say it!" Sun said fiercely, still grabbing the drum stick in Otsuka's hand.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again!" Otsuka pulled the drum stick hard, and hugged the sun into his arms, "I'll let you beat me tonight, okay?"

"Sun, it's time for dinner, or let's sing "Little Boat" and "Fight to the End" quickly!" Lihua knew that this sentence was the most effective. Stopped the thought of 'murdering' Otsuka.

Sun let go of Otsuka's drum stick, and slapped Otsuka's back hard, "Damn Otsuka, I'll deal with you later!"

Otsuka pursed his lips, and said kindly, "I love you, Taiyang."

"Get out!" Taiyang turned his head and stood in the middle, indicating that Sano could start.

"Little Boat" is more lyrical, the main theme is the guitar part, the drums are relatively weak, the bass bass plays the rhythm, and the changes of several chords are not large.The song was finished soon, and everyone felt that Tachibana and Sano changed roles, and the effect was good.

The beginning of "Battle to the End" is Bass, two eight-beat bass cuts, and a very cool finger change. Tachibana can't play it, and Sano can't play the guitar after playing the bass.Everyone put it together again, except for some regrets at the beginning and the middle transition, everything else is pretty good.In the part of the music, Otsuka emphasizes drum beats to make up for the rhythm gap of Bass.But when it comes to the transition in the middle, Tachibana can't play the same transition as the beginning, and it becomes a gap again.

"What can I do..." Tachibana also felt that the situation was a little urgent now.

Sano tried to carry the guitar on his back, and then played the intro first while holding the bass.But two pianos are ugly when they are stacked, and they can't be connected when they are opened separately.

"Hahaha!" Taiyang laughed loudly, "Sano, you look like a fool!"

"Hey, if I remember correctly, Little Kanazawa is omnipotent." Otsuka suddenly walked to the middle and patted Taiyang on the shoulder.

"Ah, what do you mean?" Taiyang swallowed, Otsuka's tone was not teasing him, and Taiyang felt that what Otsuka said next might be the same as what he thought.

"Add more Bass! Sano, get your Bass for Taiyang!" Otsuka's eyes lit up, and he became excited as he spoke, "Taiyang only plays the beginning and middle of all the songs in "Fight to the End" It’s just two eight beats, as long as Sun can play bass, it’s impossible to be unfamiliar with it in two days! Moreover, Sun stands in the middle with the bass behind his back, which can also enhance the aura of this song!”

"Wow! Super awesome!!" Sun exclaimed, "Hahaha, I'm so handsome!!"

"Oh, don't be smug ~ play these two eight beats first and then talk ~" Sano smiled and walked out of the living room, and went upstairs to get the bass for Taiyang.

"This is really a good idea!" Tachibana also said happily, "Sun, you have to work hard!"

Xiaozhi smiled approvingly and clapped his hands, "Captain Otsuka, I admire you a little~"

"Where is it?" Otsuka waved his hand modestly.

After a while, Sano took the bass down and handed it to Taiyang.

Taiyang looked at Sano's bass, then at the bass in Tachibana's hand, walked up to Tachibana and said excitedly, "Hey, Tachibana, your bass looks better, let's change it!"

"Huh?" Tachibana glanced at the Bass in her hand, smiled and shook her head, and directly changed it with Taiyang, "Do you want to change to a more cool Bass?"

"Ah—!" Taiyang cried out, "I thought of it as soon as you said it! Don't I have a microphone from Minase! Can I bring it to the scene?"

"That's too ostentatious, and it's unique in the world. Xiaozhi's fans can tell it's Xiaozhi's microphone at a glance. The competition is not over yet, so don't get the reputation of colluding with the judges." Lihua said, glanced at Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi Zhi also nodded.

Xiao Zhi looked at the sun and raised his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows and said, "I will use the microphone after the game is over, but now, I can lend you my treasured Bass to pretend to be handsome~"

"Ah!" Sun rushed over and hugged Xiaozhi, "Teacher! I knew you were the best for me!!"

"Hahaha, before the game is over, don't call me teacher when you get excited in front of outsiders!" Xiaozhi laughed.

Sano found the bass score from the coffee table and handed it to Taiyang, "Do you understand?"

"Hey, Sano!" Taiyang was about to explode again.

Sano smiled and took the Bass in Tachibana's hand and said, "I mean, I want to teach you to play it once, it's faster. Don't always be like a cannonball, blowing up with a 'boom' from time to time. Already~"

"Oh, I actually have a pretty good temper~" Taiyang picked up the bass again, smiled and sat next to Sano, "Come on, teach me~"

Otsuka patted Taiyang's head, and then sat down on his own seat, "Our little Kanazawa's temper is like this, he comes and goes quickly, this is an advantage~"

"Otsuka, you still owe me a meal tonight, don't forget!" Sun immediately answered.

"Do you want it?" Otsuka teased with a smile.

"Get lost!" Taiyang glared at Otsuka, "Now I'm going to beat you twice!"

"Okay, okay!" Otsuka looked at the sun dotingly, and nodded with a smile.

"Dinner is ready!" Aoi came to the living room and called everyone to eat.

"Here we come!" Sano responded, and said to Taiyang, "I'll teach you after dinner."

Aoi served rice for everyone, and Sano helped Aoi bring it to the table.It's a great feeling when everyone eats together.Aoi looked at everyone, the brothers were talking and chatting, the atmosphere was harmonious, and when they teased and laughed with each other, she would also laugh along with her.In this two-story house, I was the only one left. It should be said that I was alone in this world.But meeting Sano, yes, that red hair that appeared in his black and white world, he was lucky to start. .

He brought a turning point in my life. .

After eating, Aoi brought a plate of strawberries to the coffee table, and Sano was already teaching Taiyang how to play the prelude to "Fight to the End".

"Why don't you take a break and eat some strawberries, they are very fresh." Aoi fed one into Sano's mouth.

"It's so sweet." Sano said casually.

Taiyang turned around, picked the best-looking strawberry from the plate that Aoi was holding, and put it in his mouth, "Lovely strawberry~"

"Otsuka, so sweet~" Taiyang took another strawberry and prepared it for Otsuka to eat.

Otsuka waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "I don't like strawberries, hehe, strawberries are too feminine, and I think this fruit is too cute to insult IQ."

"How can there be any insult to IQ~" Taiyang walked to the sofa, knelt on the sofa with one leg, put strawberries in Otsuka's mouth and forced him to eat.

Otsuka tilted his head and didn't eat the strawberry.

"Hmph!" Sun frowned, stared at Otsuka, put the strawberry into his mouth, and stood up.

Otsuka knew that Taiyang was annoyed again, so he grabbed Taiyang's wrist with a crooked smile.Gently, Otsuka pulled Taiyang back onto the sofa.Taiyang almost fell down, Otsuka put one arm around Taiyang, grabbed Taiyang's chin with the other hand, used his tongue to bite the strawberry that Taiyang had bitten in half, and hooked half into his own mouth.

Taiyang rolled his eyes, stood up quickly with a smile, pursed his lips and hurried back to the side of Sano, blushing and stammering, "Well, we, let's start quickly."

Sano smiled without saying a word, and began to teach Taiyang to play the prelude repeatedly bar by bar.

Sun was a little unable to concentrate at first, but soon he entered the state, and he had mastered the two eight-beat playing in half an hour.

Xiao Zhi and Tachibana had already finished their shower, changed into their pajamas and came to the living room to check on everyone.Hearing Taeyang finish playing the intro smoothly with the bass, Xiaozhi nodded and said, "It's really good, just add momentum and play it more gorgeously, more than enough for two days!"

"Haha~" Taiyang was affirmed by Xiaozhi, and said proudly, "On the day of the finals, I will definitely not embarrass your bass!"

"Oh, then I'll thank you for helping it~" Xiaozhi also joked.

"Don't be proud, you can play better." Sano said, playing the intro by himself.When I played the second time, I strengthened the strength of the strumming, and the third time, I played it harder.At the fourth time, Sano suddenly pressed the string with his palm, the sound stopped abruptly, and after two seconds, he began to pluck a single note gently.

Played the cross door four times in a row, each time is different, but together, it has a special level.

"Wow~" Tachibana held up her injured right hand, pointed to the sun, and said with a smile, "Taiyang, you should not sleep tonight~"

"Ah~" Sun covered his face and let out a howl of collapse.

Everyone was in the living room, Aoi held a plate of strawberries and handed it to Xiaozhi to eat.Xiaozhi took the plate, fed one to Tachibana, and then ate one for himself.

At this moment, the power at home suddenly went out!It was pitch black all around, and everyone froze for a moment.

"What's the matter, is there a power outage?" Sun muttered, "I still have to practice today!"

Sano held the Bass in his arms, picking up dissonant intervals with a low monophonic tone.

Beng...beng...beng...beng...

After finishing the strange seventh-degree harmony, Sano flicked on the fretboard again, and the Bass suddenly made a supernatural sound.

"Ah!" Aoi yelled in horror.

"Hey, don't scare Aoi!" Otsuka said, "Aoi has a bad heart."

"Ah, sorry!" Sano put down the bass, put his arms around Aoi and patted him on the back, "I almost forgot."

Aoi was like a kitten, nestling in Sano's arms and holding him.

"It's okay, Tachibana is also afraid of the dark~" Xiaozhi said comforting Aoi.

"Hey!" Tachibana patted Xiao Zhi, "Shut up."

Xiao Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, and kissed Tachibana's lips in the dark.

Sano pulled Aoi to sit on the side sofa, and Otsuka and Taiyang also surrounded them and sat on the coffee table.

"When I first came here, Aoi slept with the lights on every day." Sano thought of Aoi at that time, and wanted to protect him, "When it was just getting dark, Aoi would turn on all the lights in the house."

Hula also ran over and snuggled up to Sano's feet.Sano picked up Hula and put it on his lap, touched it, and said to Xiaozhi, "Both Hula and I were picked up by Aoi~"

"Me too~" Tachibana also raised her hand in the darkness.

Taiyang also laughed and echoed, "Here's another one~"

"It's so interesting~" Xiao Zhi laughed, "Aoi picked up all of you?"

"The three of them are, but I'm not~" Otsuka put his arm on Taiyang's shoulder and said, "I came here after smelling the fragrance of my lover~"

"Come here after smelling the fragrance? Uh... how disgusting~" Taiyang tilted his head, saying disgusting, but touched his head with Otsuka's.Otsuka smiled, and squeezed Taiyang's neck with his backhand.

"I'll go see if the switch has tripped." Xiaozhi stood up.

"I'll go too!" Tachibana stood up holding Xiao Zhi's hand.

Xiaozhi pushed open the door, went out to have a look, and came into the room and said to everyone, "The power is cut off along this side."

"Let's wait and see, maybe it's construction work, it will be fine later." Tachibana said, holding Xiaozhi's hand and walking to the living room.Xiaozhi knew that Tachibana was afraid of the dark, so he held hands with him all the time.

"Come and sit!" Otsuka shouted towards the door.

"Hehe, that's great, the rehearsal has turned into a chat~" Tachibana smiled and sat back to normal, Xiaozhi held his hand, and he was not afraid or nervous at all.

"Hey, here are two people who are afraid of the dark, let's tell a ghost story!" Sun opened his big eyes and looked at everyone expectantly.

Finally, his eyes fell on Otsuka. Otsuka took a look, held the face of the sun and smiled and said, "Your eyes are blue, bright in the dark, so supernatural!"

Taiyang froze his expression, looked at Otsuka with wide eyes and threatened him, "I'm a cyborg."

Otsuka smiled and passed his neck over, "Then bite me."

"Hey!" Taiyang smiled and scratched Otsuka's head, "It's so boring~"

"Enough is enough for you two~" Sano said with a smile while hugging Aoi.

"Ah, I can understand that Aoi is afraid of the dark, but why is Tachibana afraid of the dark?" Taiyang asked strangely.

"Who, who said I'm afraid of the dark!" Tachibana said nervously.

Otsuka knew Tachibana very early, he didn't know that Tachibana was afraid of the dark, "It's suspicious~"

Tachibana pursed her lips and clenched her left hand slightly.Xiao Zhi put his arms around Tachibana and said, "It's nothing."

Tachibana pouted, "It's a bit embarrassing."

"When Ah Hiiragi was an entertainer, he went to a haunted house to record a variety show. The props in the haunted house broke down, and Ah Hiiragi was locked in a small, airtight black room for the whole afternoon. The program team had a good time that day. No one noticed that Hiiragi was gone. When the staff found him, Hiiragi was already in a coma due to lack of oxygen." Xiaozhi shook Tachibana's hand distressedly and said, "I was scared to death that time too. , I couldn’t find his person all afternoon. I called his agent and asked him to go to the scene to see, only to find that A Hiiragi had disappeared.”

"Ah~" Aoi grabbed Sano's clothes and said as if she had suddenly realized, "That's like, Minase saved Tachibana's life! Heh~ so romantic~"

"I haven't saved your life yet~" Sano answered casually.

"It's amazing!" Taiyang said, and looked at Otsuka with some disappointment, "Hey, the few of them have experienced the relationship of life and death together."

"And then?" Otsuka asked.

"The relationship must be strong!" Sun pouted.It seems that in the dark, everyone can speak their minds less shyly.

"Is our relationship not strong?" Otsuka asked back with his arms around the sun.

"We haven't experienced any big storms~" Sun pouted, as if there was something missing if we didn't experience life and death together.

"Hey, Taiyang, you can't say that." Tachibana helped Otsuka speak out, "Otsuka came out publicly, and even said he was engaged to you in front of the media, do you know how enviable you are?"

Taiyang said indifferently, "It's just coming out publicly, what's there to envy~"

Tachibana let go of Xiaozhi's hand, spread his hands in the dark and said to the sun, "It's really rare to be able to admit that you are gay in front of the public, and openly show your love for your lover! At least this kind of thing, in the It may never happen to me in my life, you should be lucky to find someone who loves you so much."

"Yeah." Sun didn't refute, but just responded without any emotion.

Otsuka sighed lightly, but did not respond.The atmosphere became stiff, Sano squeezed Aoi's hand, signaling him not to speak yet.

"What do you like about me...?" After half a minute of silence, the sun said faintly in the darkness, "Actually, I don't know what you like about me until now..." The sun tilted his head and said with some dissatisfaction , "Sometimes I even feel... that you take me for a fool."

Otsuka frowned, "I never regarded you as an idiot." Otsuka looked at the light-transmitting window, wondering if there was something wrong with his way of handling the relationship between the two of them, which actually caused Sun to have such a misunderstanding.

"I think you have." Sun said in a low voice, but very firmly, "When you moved in, you felt that you were sure of me."

"Ah, didn't Taiyang say he was going to tell a ghost story just now?" Sano wanted to ease the atmosphere. If this continues, the two may have a big fight tonight.

"Ah, yes!" Xiaozhi echoed.

"Who will talk first?" Sano asked.

"Ha, let me come!" Knowing what Sano meant, Xiao Zhi took the initiative to change the topic, "Let me tell you a story about a haunted house!"

Aoi hugged Sano's waist and whispered in his ear, "I'm a little scared."

"It's okay, I'll protect you~" Sano covered Aoi's head, as if nothing terrible could scare Aoi.

Aoi pouted, and put her head on Sano's body again.

"Once upon a time, in a village, there was a house..." Xiao Zhi opened his eyes wide, and after staying in the dark for a long time, everyone could see each other's appearance.

Lihua knew that Xiaozhi was changing the topic, so he didn't interrupt, but pulled the pillow and hugged him in his arms.Tachibana didn't pay special attention to Xiaozhi's story, and his mood was still envious of Otsuka and Taiyang's coming out of the closet for Ai.

"One day, a woman dressed strangely came to that village, lived in the family's house for one night, and left the next day." Seeing Aoi's frightened look, Xiaozhi continued talking directly to the sun, "A strange thing happened... the family in the house, one by one, died one after another... first the father... and then the mother... the two children felt terrible, they hid at home and did not dare to go out. .Suddenly one day, my sister also died..Only my younger brother is alive..Guess what is the reason...?"

"I know!" Tachibana said like a detective, "My younger brother must have killed everyone!"

Someone is sobbing. .Everyone is quiet. .The man sniffed again. .

Tachibana suddenly wrapped Xiaozhi in his arms and asked, "What's the sound?"

"Brother is coming... I'll kill you!!" Xiao Zhi suddenly scared Tachibana with a loud voice.

"Ah!" Tachibana hit Xiaozhi with a pillow, "I hate it~!"

"Haha~" Xiaozhi pulled Tachibana and hugged him into his arms with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, stop talking." Sano hugged Aoi, patted Aoi's back lightly, and said to Xiaozhi, "Your ghost story coincides with Aoi's family affairs."

"Huh?" Xiaozhi was stunned.

"Ah!" Tachibana slapped Xiaozhi again, "You stepped on thunder, idiot!"

"Sorry, I don't know." Xiaozhi looked at Aoi, who was still shaking in Sano's arms.

"It's okay." Aoi choked up and said, "My family members are all dead, but I didn't kill them... woo woo woo..."

"Don't be sad." Otsuka also patted Aoi's shoulder, "You have so many brothers now, we are all your family!"

"Well, I know." Aoi nodded and said, "Thank you...Thank you all..."

"Okay, darling, stop crying." Sano hugged Aoi tightly, and kissed Aoi's eyes as he spoke.

Sun sighed and stood up, "I haven't called yet, I'm going upstairs to sleep." After saying that, Sun left the living room.

Otsuka then also stood up, "See you tomorrow morning, I'm going upstairs too."

"Go." Sano patted Otsuka's arm, "I think Taiyang cares more about you than you think."

"I know." Otsuka finished and left the living room.
