In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"She told me some things about liking Ze Jun."

Shirakawa Sawa was stunned for a moment, then spoke.

“I am aware of Su Shi’s feelings, and I have clearly expressed my attitude to her before.”

"She also told me that we would only be friends from now on."

"I'm sorry, Tou-chan, I thought that was the end of it, so I didn't mention it to you."

He walked up to the girl and gently took her hand.

"I'm sorry, Tou-chan, I've caused you trouble."

"I will talk to Su Shi and explain this matter clearly."

Takamatsu gently shook his head, pulled the boy to sit on the bench, leaned against him, and spoke again.

"When I heard Su Shi confessing her feelings to Ze Jun on the phone yesterday, I wasn't actually that surprised."

"I had sensed her feelings for me before."

"I just didn't expect it to turn out like this."

“Su Shi was very emotional yesterday, and she broke down in tears towards the end.”

"Seeing her like this makes me very sad too."

"But I couldn't comfort her."

"To be honest, Ze Jun, it's really hard for me to say that I don't care."

"On the contrary, I care a lot and I'm very sad."

But what should I do?

Takamatsu held the boy's hand with a slight tightening.

"I thought about it all night, but I still couldn't figure out what to do."

"I feel like I'm answering a multiple-choice question."

"But I want both."

"Ze-jun, am I being too greedy?"

After thinking for a moment, Shirakawa Sawa spoke.

“Dengjiang, I know that the band members are very important to you, and you don’t want any rift to develop between you and them.”

"Should I go talk to Su Shi first and see what's going on?"

Takamatsu Akari shook his head.

“Ze-jun, I know what your choice will be, and I can roughly guess what you will say to Su-shi.”

"However, after I received this call, this matter was no longer between you and her, but became between me and her."

"Because you're not struggling with this multiple-choice question."

"But Su Shi and I were both struggling and confused."

She looked up at the boy beside her, her gaze gradually hardening.

"So, I'll just go talk to her myself."

Shirakawa Ze nodded, said nothing more, and gently pulled the other person into his arms.

The girl's body was slightly tense, and her rapid and irregular breathing indicated that she was not at peace.

After calming down a bit, Gao Songdeng released the boy and gently kissed him on the cheek.

"Let's go eat first."

……

After the school bell rang in the afternoon, Nagasaki Motoyo received a message from Takamatsu Akari.

"Su Shi, is it convenient for us to meet? I'd like to talk to you."

Upon seeing the message, Nagasaki Motoyo did not reply. She immediately turned off her phone, got up, left the classroom, and prepared to go home.

She is now afraid to face Gao Songdeng.

She didn't know what to do, and she was afraid to see him.

Just thinking about the other person now feels like being tied to a gallows and judged by their gaze.

How could I... have done such a thing...?

How am I supposed to face Deng-chan and Ze-jun from now on?

[Is Deng-chan really angry with me?]

But if I apologize, she probably won't accept it, right?

The best way is to promise Deng-chan that you will never have any contact with Ze-kun again.

Even so, it would be difficult to remain friends, wouldn't it?

What if the band...?

Nagasaki Motoyo felt that the more she thought about it, the worse things got, and the less willing she was to face it.

After packing her things, she slung her backpack over her shoulder, walked out of the classroom, and prepared to go home.

Because she was in a bad mood and feeling very down, she walked with her head down. Just as she stepped out of the school gate, she heard a slightly gruff voice.

"Su Shi."

Nagasaki Motoyo was startled. When she looked up, she immediately saw Takamatsu Akari standing in front of her, panting heavily.

It was obvious that the other party had run straight over.

Nagasaki Motoyo's legs went weak, and she immediately tried to run away, but the next second her wrist was grabbed, and she heard the other person's voice at the same time.

"Su Shi, let's talk."

Looking at the curious glances that her classmates kept casting at her, Nagasaki Motoyo felt the protective shell on her face peeling away layer by layer.

She suppressed her nervousness, forced a smile, nodded, and unconsciously raised her voice.

"Then, let's go to my house, Akari-chan."

The two then went to her home, remaining silent the entire way.

After entering, Nagasaki Motoyo closed the door, then immediately turned around, grasped the other person's wrists with both hands, and looked deeply apologetic.

"Tomikazuchi, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to do that..."

I'm so sorry I didn't reply to your message, I don't know what to do...

"I'm sorry, Tou-chan, I'm so sorry..."

"I won't go to see Ze-jun anymore..."

Gao Songdeng looked at her silently, his gaze complex.

Seeing that the other person didn't respond, Nagasaki Motoyo grew increasingly anxious. She took the other person's hand in her own, pressed her forehead against the back of their hand, and tears began to stream down her face.

"Dengjiang, please forgive me."

"If possible, I'd like to continue playing in the band with you."

"I can't lose you anymore, Tou-chan."

"If there's nothing left, Watashi..."

Gao Songdeng looked at her, her eyes filled with sadness.

"Su Shi, if this is your final decision."

"I don't think we'll wait until today to make a choice."

"Or is this just an excuse you're using to get my forgiveness?"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned.

The other party's few words were brief, yet they penetrated to the bone.

She felt her strength gradually dissipating, and even her mind became hazy.

Her eyes were filled with confusion, and she murmured to herself.

Yes... have I really made up my mind?

Or was I just making this up unconsciously to get this agonizing situation over as quickly as possible?

She slowly raised her head and met Gao Songdeng's gaze.

The other person's eyes held only sadness, yet it made her feel as if she had instantly been plunged into a sea of ​​fire and knives...

In that brief moment of eye contact, she felt incredibly uneasy and instinctively looked away...

In that instant, she understood her own heart.

She realized that she had only been trying to deceive herself and others once again.

After realizing her own thoughts, Nagasaki Motoyo felt all the strength drain from her body, and she could no longer support herself, slowly collapsing to the ground...

Volume 1: Chapter 161 The Lamp Had Made the Corresponding Awareness

Seeing Nagasaki Motoyo collapse to the ground, Takamatsu Akari quickly bent down and reached out to support her under the armpits, trying to help her up.

"Su Shi, let's sit down and talk first."

Nagasaki Motoyo felt utterly ashamed to face the other person, and shook her head while crying, repeatedly saying "I'm sorry".

Gao Songdeng increased his strength slightly, but still couldn't move the other party, so he had to give up.

She looked at the girl in front of her who was constantly crying, and slowly spoke.

"Su Shi, this matter is like a choice for both of us."

"For me, this is more like a multiple-choice question, requiring me to choose between you and Zejun."
