After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

However, Li hope sensed something strange in those words.

"There's no one at my house right now," Li hope replied, seemingly answering Yue's question without directly addressing it.

"Huh?" Yue paused, clearly not expecting such an unexpected answer.

Seeing her confused expression, Lixi explained, "My sister is busy with the regional orchestra, and Mom and Dad are away on a business trip."

"So, Lixi just walked into my house on her own initiative?" Yue's lips curled up slightly, her hand pausing as she took out her keys, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.

She inserted the key into the lock and turned it gently. With a soft click, the door opened. "What if I didn't let you in?" she asked.

Li hope was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips, clearly not expecting Yue to say such a thing.

She stood behind Yue, raised her head, and met Yue's gaze.

"Aren't you coming in?" Yue gently pushed open the door, turned around and smiled, "Then you can continue standing outside."

Li hope's heart skipped a beat. She gently curled the corners of her lips and followed him inside, saying, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

----------

Yue originally thought that after the two confirmed their relationship, their nightly lives would change.

Perhaps we'll become closer, or have some special moments. But in reality, nothing will be that different.

At least from the current situation, everything seems to be as usual.

She looked helplessly at Shiina Tatsuki, who, as usual, was busy turning on her laptop late at night, preparing to work through the night.

Yue frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.

So, she gently reached out and slowly closed the laptop screen in front of Lixi.

"Yue?" Li Xi stopped what she was doing, looked up at Yue with some confusion, clearly not understanding her actions.

Yue's eyes held a hint of reproach, and her tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "This is the first day we officially became a couple, why are you still thinking about work so late at night?"

She spoke with a hint of coquetry, but her tone was not harsh; it was more of a helpless joke.

Li hope was stunned, clearly not expecting Yue to say that.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes darted away.

"Moon...no...that's not a good idea..." Li Xi stammered, her ears turning bright red, clearly thinking of something she shouldn't have. She instinctively shrank back, her eyes filled with panic, unsure how to respond to Yue's words.

Images began to surface in Lixi's mind, and the more she tried to suppress them, the more rampant those thoughts became.

She couldn't help but avoid Yue's gaze, a hint of panic in her eyes, as if afraid of having her thoughts read.

A subtle atmosphere filled the air, and Lixi was somewhat afraid to look directly at Yue's face.

Upon seeing this, Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Li hope had clearly misunderstood something.

Her eyes widened, and a blush quickly crept up to her ears. She felt a little shy, yet couldn't help but want to laugh.

She raised her hand and gently patted Rikki's shoulder, saying shyly, "Ri...Rikki! H! What are you thinking? I just wanted you to stop working."

As soon as Yue finished speaking, Li Xi's face turned even redder, as if burning to the roots of her ears, and her voice became even more indistinct: "I...I thought you..."

Seeing her like this, Yue couldn't help but find it amusing.

She moved closer to Lixi and said in a gentle tone, "Really, you work so hard, shouldn't you take a break? Especially today, it's our... 'first day'."

As the moon drew closer, Li hope's heartbeat quickened, and the rise and fall of her chest seemed somewhat irregular.

She lowered her eyes slightly and softly called out, "Moon."

Hearing Li hope call her name, Yue tilted her head, a look of curiosity on her face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li hope didn't respond immediately, but simply repeated softly, "Moon..."

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of uncertainty and vague emotion, as if she were confirming whether everything she had experienced was real.

Seeing her like this, Yue couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. She leaned forward slightly, wanting to see Lixi's face: "What's wrong? Is there something you want to say to me by calling me like that?"

She smiled, shook her head gently, and said in a tone that she couldn't quite explain: "It's nothing... it's just that now that I have some free time, I feel a little unreal."

She looked up and gazed into the moon's eyes.

Lixi has always been the most rational person in Mygo, but at this moment, she is somewhat confused.

After establishing a relationship with Yue, everything seemed to be quietly changing.

Although she knew she liked Yue, the intimacy between them now left her feeling somewhat bewildered.

Yue blinked, and seeing Lixi like this, she suddenly understood how Lixi felt. She reached out and gently took Lixi's hand.

Lixi's fingers trembled slightly, but quickly, she took Yue's hand in return.

Yue's fingertips gently caressed the back of Lixi's hand.

Lixi lowered her head, looking at their clasped hands, and the sense of confusion in her heart seemed to gradually dissipate with the warmth of the moon.

Her gaze slowly moved from the two people's hands to Yue's face.

Yue gently tilted her head.

There were no extra words exchanged between the two; at this moment, all language seemed superfluous.

The two grew closer and closer without realizing it, their breathing becoming shallow, as if the slightest movement would shatter the balance of the moment.

Their faces slowly drew closer, their breaths mingling, and the distance between their lips and teeth grew ever smaller.

It felt like time had turned back to last night's kiss, but this time, it was a little different.

Lixi's lips had just parted from Yue's, and the thrill of that moment was still echoing in his mind.

Her cheeks flushed quickly, and a wave of shyness and panic washed over her, as if she realized that she had once again done something beyond her expectations.

She instinctively wanted to back away; the heat on her cheeks made her want to escape this overly intense emotion.

However, before she could actually take a step back, Yue had already reacted and gently but firmly hugged Lixi's head with both hands.

The moon's movements were both gentle and irresistible.

Lixi's eyes widened instantly, her lips parted slightly, still not fully recovered from the kiss.

Before she could react, Yue had already moved closer to her again.

Unlike their previous kisses, this time, Yue's initiative made Li hope's heart pound and his breathing become rapid.

Yue's lips pressed against Lixi's again, her fingers running through Lixi's hair, gently stroking the back of his head, and gently pressing his head towards her.

Lixi felt all her strength drain away at that moment, her mind went blank, and her hands unconsciously gripped Yue's clothes tightly.

Finally, after this long and sweet "conquest," their lips slowly parted.

Li hope's breathing was slightly disordered, and her eyes were slightly open, but she had not yet fully recovered from the passionate kiss.

However, Yue's next words made Riki's eyes widen suddenly, and her cheeks instantly turn red.

She murmured softly, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness and ambiguity: "Although... we've made our relationship official,... I don't want to be on the bottom."

Stage Climax, Chapter 9: The Morning After Confirming the Relationship

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and as the alarm clock rang, Yue slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision gradually cleared, and she saw Shiina Tatsuki fast asleep.

Looking at Lixi's familiar face, Yue's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

"Good morning, Xiaoxi," Yue said softly.

Lixi was awakened by Yue's voice. She opened her sleepy eyes and frowned slightly. "Good morning... What kind of address is that?"

Yue smiled and winked, gently brushing a strand of hair from Rikki's forehead with her fingers. "Because Rikki is a nickname Aine gave you, I wanted to change the way I call you."

"Doesn't Xiaoxi like it?" Yue asked.

"No..." Li hope didn't know what to say, her voice stammering, "It's just... I'm not used to being called that all of a sudden..."

----------

"Have these two... completely let loose now?"

Aine looked at Tsuki and Riki, who were holding hands and walking into the preparation room of Liulin'er (Part 2), and covered her mouth with a surprised expression, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

Su Shi stood to the side, glancing at her indifferently, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Didn't you already know that?"

"I know, but it's still shocking to see them express it so obviously!" Aine was clearly still in shock, waving her hands in the air.

"Congratulations... Xiaoyue, Lixi," Xiaodeng said to the two of them.

"Will there still be matcha parfaits in the future?" Lena's gaze fell on Lixi.

Yue was momentarily at a loss, a faint blush rising to her face. "Uh... we haven't said anything yet, is it that obvious?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Su Shi said calmly, arms crossed, as if she had already seen through everything.

"I was the first to discover it!" Miss Pink waved her hand as if to take credit.

"Hmm..." Xiaodeng said more tactfully, "Xiaoyue and Lixi both care about each other very much."

“The scent tells me,” Lena said. “Xiaoyue often smells like Lixi.”

Being teased so bluntly by everyone, Yue's blush deepened. She subconsciously wanted to let go of Li hope's hand, but just as she was about to let go, Li hope suddenly gripped her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"..." Yue paused for a moment, looked up at Lixi, and found that the other's ears were already bright red. Although she looked calm on the surface, her ears betrayed her inner nervousness.

"Xiao hope? What's wrong?" Yue Wanxin smiled gently and deliberately moved closer to Li hope.

Lixi's cheeks flushed even more instantly. She gripped Yue's hand tightly, but dared not look directly into her eyes.

She swallowed hard, as if unsure how to respond.

"Huh? Little... Little hope? When did you start calling her that?" Aine suddenly realized what she meant and looked at Yue in surprise, her voice full of curiosity.

“This morning,” Yue said.

"What about me?" Ai Yin immediately became eager to try. "Dad pointed to himself, his eyes full of expectation."

Yue tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Hmm... Little Ai Yin? Or like Little Lamp, I'll call you Little Ai?"

Upon hearing this nickname, Ai Yin's tone revealed a slight disappointment, "Hmm... it doesn't sound as nice as Li Xi's Xiao hope."

As everyone kept repeating the nickname "Tachiki's Little Tachiki," Shiina Tachiki's cheeks gradually turned red, as if they had been set on fire, so red that they seemed ready to burn at any moment.
