Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Seeing Bai Qianqu's empty hands, Ai Li covered her mouth and laughed, "You didn't forget, did you? It's okay, it's alright even if you didn't prepare anything, Ai Li won't be angry~~~~"

"Of course I'm prepared, but you'll have to wait a moment."

Bai Qianqu pointed to the piano in the corner of the lobby: "Can I borrow it for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Eden guessed a thing or two: "Is Xiao Qianqu's gift a piece of music?"

Bai Qianqu nodded: "Yes."

"Ha, that's quite romantic." Eden became interested too. "Can I see the sheet music?"

"of course can."

Bai Qianqu quickly wrote down the piece and handed it to Eden. Since the system provided a version for a large orchestral ensemble, Bai Qianqu did not make any changes.

Eden only watched for a moment before raising his eyebrows.

"Little Chiku, you can also play orchestral music! Hmm, it's quite a lively piece."

Bai Qianqu modestly replied, "It was just something I wrote for fun, nothing special."

Eden quickly finished reading the piece and was somewhat surprised: "This seems to be playable with four fingers."

"Yes, the expressiveness is stronger when two people play together."

“That’s great. Little Chiku, you don’t mind if I join in the performance, do you?” Eden was clearly interested. She walked over to the piano and opened the lid. “Let’s play together.”

"Uh, okay."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Bai Qianqu and Eden sat side by side at the piano.

Bai Qianqu also saw Eden's hands at this moment. They were a pair of fair and slender hands, very powerful, as if they were born to play the piano. Of course, the most important thing was that Eden's fingers could cover a large area, which gave her the advantage of being able to play many difficult pieces with ease.

Of course, Bai Qianqu's hands were larger, but they were still quite nice. His palms were wide but resilient, clean, and looked very pleasant.

The two hands lingered on the piano keys for a moment, then quickly began to play.

Instantly, a cheerful melody filled the vast lobby.

The melody of this piano piece is quite fast, with frequent changes in dynamics, and the handling of the musical parts is very demanding on basic skills.

With the system's help, Bai Qianqu was naturally able to control the music with ease. However, to his surprise, Eden's first performance also seemed effortless, even effortless. As she played, she seemed to be feeling the melody of the piece, a smile on her face.

Although the people in the room didn't know much about piano music, they could tell that the piece was very festive.

Everyone had the illusion that it was already New Year's Eve.

Suddenly, firecrackers started going off somewhere, making a lot of noise with their crackling sounds. Then, as if receiving a signal, the sound of firecrackers continued to come from afar.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year became strong.

As Bai Qianqu played, she suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Yes, this is what Chinese New Year should be like.

Chapter 264 New Year’s Eve

In just one day, Bai Qianqu had become somewhat familiar with the people in the Golden Courtyard, and his contact list had grown by several people.

Of course, besides him, Jiuxiao and Xiaotu also seem to have made new friends.

For some reason, Jiuxiao's chuunibyou-esque speech seemed to have won over Virvi, and the two discussed things that no one else could understand, while Kosmo next to them occasionally showed a shocked expression.

The little rabbit seemed quite wary of Prometheus, always keeping a certain distance.

All in all, everyone had a pretty good day.

It was already very late when they got back that night. At Bronya's insistence, Bai Qianqu didn't go back to the rented room but slept at Bronya's house instead. After all, tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and it would be troublesome to travel back and forth again the next day if she went back.

Fortunately, Bronya's villa had many rooms, and the three girls' rooms were all on the second floor, so the entire first floor belonged to Bai Qianqu.

The Seele sisters were clearly a bit tired from playing, so they went to take a shower first, while Bai Qianqu and Bronya sat on the sofa to rest.

Bai Qianqu was a little nervous about spending the night at a girl's house for the first time.

“Thousand Songs,” Bronya suddenly called out.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Bai Qianqu quickly turned her head. "Is there something you need?"

Bronya couldn't help but laugh when she saw Bai Qianqu looking like a frightened kitten.

"You look stiff. Are you that nervous?"

"I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous."

Although he said that, Bai Qianqu's actions and expressions betrayed him.

"Relax, just treat this place as your own home from now on, like a shared apartment. Anyway, the rooms downstairs are empty."

"Shared apartment?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu's eyes lit up. If that was the case, it was indeed a good idea, and it would save Bronya the trouble of going out of her way to pick him up in the mornings.

Bronya had already invited him several times, and it would be impolite to hesitate any longer.

Bai Qianqu nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll be bothering you from now on."

"Hehe, it's okay, I just like a lively atmosphere."

For some reason, after agreeing to stay, Bai Qianqu immediately stopped being nervous, and his expression relaxed, as if this place had really become his own rented room.

It's a strange feeling, but it's really nice. Maybe this is what "home" feels like.

As Bai Qianqu relaxed, he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. He was indeed very tired after playing all day, and the underfloor heating in the house made him even more sleepy.

Bronya, however, was very excited and continued talking.

"Once things are set up here tomorrow, we'll come help you move. What style of bedding do you like? I can help you get some. Do you have a favorite color? Slippers, for example?"

Bronya kept rambling on, but didn't get a response from Bai Qianqu. She turned her head and found that the other person had fallen asleep on the sofa at some point.

Seeing this, Bronya smiled, and a wave of weariness washed over her.

She leaned against Bai Qianqu, listening to his even breathing, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

When Seele finished her bath and came down to call Bronya, she was stopped by Hill next to her.

Hill made a "shush" gesture and pointed to the two people snuggling together on the sofa.

Seele saw it too, and immediately blushed. After thinking for a moment, she tiptoed forward, brought a blanket to cover the two of them, left a small night light on in the living room, and then quietly went upstairs.

The large living room quickly fell silent. A small orange nightlight cast a gentle glow on Bai Qianqu and Bronya's faces, leaving only the sound of their soft breathing.

Bronya didn't know what she was dreaming about, but a smile appeared on her lips, and she leaned her head on Bai Qianqu's shoulder.

The night was quiet, and the time had passed midnight; New Year's Eve had finally arrived.

Early the next morning, Raiden Mei had already dragged a sleepy Kiana to the entrance of Bronya's villa.

Kiana was clearly still sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and complained, "This is too much! It's already the last day of the year, can't I even sleep in?"

Mei didn't indulge her this time, putting her hands on her hips and saying, "You still know this is the last day of New Year's Eve? We agreed to help Bronya decorate the villa together today, and we also had to make New Year's Eve dinner together! With so much to do, how can you sleep?"

Kiana: "Oh well, I'm just here to eat anyway, it's okay if I come a little later."

Mei was quite exasperated: "How can you talk about freeloading so confidently?"

The two walked to the door while talking, and Kiana reached out and pressed the doorbell.

After a while, Bronya finally opened the door, but her hair was a mess and clearly hadn't been properly styled.

Kiana and Mei were both surprised to see Bronya in front of them. After all, Bronya was different from Kiana. She was someone who paid great attention to her image and would take care of herself carefully every morning. When she was out, she was always looking glamorous.

It's quite unusual for him to be so unkempt at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Kiana couldn't help but ask. "Did something happen? You haven't even combed your hair."

Bronya avoided eye contact and stammered, "It's nothing, I just woke up a little late."

Last night, she and Bai Qianqu fell asleep on the sofa.

The first half of the night was fine; the two slept close together. But then, for some reason, they rolled onto the floor, blanket and all. Luckily, the floor was covered with blankets and was warm, so nothing serious happened.

But the key point is that Bronya seems to have used this place as a bed, and even used Bai Qianqu as a life-size Homura body pillow in her room, directly pressing down on the other party, clinging to her tightly, and sleeping soundly.

Bai Qianqu was not feeling well. He had a dream that he experienced sleep paralysis, and he was very uncomfortable with his brows furrowed.

The most embarrassing thing is that Seele saw this scene this morning, leaving an indelible mark on her young and innocent mind.

Bronya was so embarrassed that she squatted in the corner for a long time, feeling depressed, until Kiana and Mei came over. Naturally, she didn't bother to wash up or dress up.

At this moment, Bai Qianqu also appeared behind Bronya. He was also a little confused. He was bewildered to find himself lying on the ground after waking up early in the morning. Because Bronya had already let go of his hand at that time, he did not know what Seele had seen. He only remembered having nightmares all night.

Chapter 265 "Three Kingdoms Kill"?

It's quite strange that this happened on my first visit to Bronya's house.

At this moment, Mei and Kiana also noticed something was wrong. Bronya and Shiro Chiku's clothes seemed to be uneven, and both of them looked like they hadn't washed or groomed themselves.

The two of them suddenly seemed to realize something, their eyes widened, and they gasped!

The two then looked at Bronya meaningfully and chuckled.

"Ahem, Bronya, aren't you being a bit too forward? Seele is still here, isn't she?"

"Yeah, yeah, I originally thought you were the least likely among the three of us, but you actually came out on top, tsk."

Bronya knew what the two were thinking and quickly shook her head.

"It's not what you think! Chiku and I just slept on the ground for one night!"

"What?" Kiana's eyes widened even more. "On the ground? Huh! Isn't that a bit much? They don't even use the bed anymore?"

Bronya's face darkened; she felt that the more she talked, the worse it got, and she couldn't clear her name no matter what.

Of course, Kiana and Mei were just joking. Although Bronya's clothes were a bit wrinkled, she was clearly dressed properly. Moreover, the three of them had known each other for so long that they could tell at a glance whether Bronya was lying or not.

Mei laughed and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Go wash up and get ready. We need to start preparing as soon as possible."

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned and went into the bathroom.

After she finished washing up, Bai Qianqu was sitting on the sofa with Kiana Hill watching TV. All three of them were the type who would only make things worse if they tried to help, so the sofa was their best place to stay.

The three of them were watching Channel 1, the world's largest television station, which was broadcasting the biggest Spring Festival Gala of the year live, while other television stations were rebroadcasting it.

The programs here are indeed good. At least there is no forced sentimentality or positive energy education, and no cringeworthy internet memes. Therefore, the number of viewers for the Spring Festival Gala is very large. Almost every household will be in front of the TV tonight to watch the Spring Festival Gala and ring in the new year.

The group was engrossed in watching when Bai Qianqu's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that Yingmei had answered it.
