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

Lixi was sitting near the door, wearing headphones and listening to music, completely immersed in her own world.

She didn't participate in this subtle emotional interaction. Listening to the performances of her seniors today gave her a lot of creative inspiration, and now she just wants to go home as soon as possible to write them down.

Yue sighed softly, looking at Su Shi's profile, thinking to herself, "It seems that Su Shi is really having some emotional fluctuations... I just hope that Aine will be alright later."

Chihaya Aine, who was exchanging ideas on clothing design and makeup techniques with Nyanko, suddenly felt an itch in her nose for no apparent reason and sneezed.

“However…” Yue noticed something strange about Su Shi’s words just now.

Yue's lips curled up slightly as she said in a teasing tone, "Su Shishi, when did you start calling Ai Yin 'Little Ai'?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi's body stiffened slightly, and then a blush quickly spread across her face.

She had just been momentarily careless and had habitually called out the nickname she used for Ai-yin in private.

“Little Ai…” Yue’s smile deepened, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous light, clearly teasing Su Shi.

"..." Su Shi pursed her lips, and in the end chose to remain silent, neither refuting nor explaining, as if this would make the matter pass.

But Xiaodeng's gaze slowly shifted over at that moment, her innocent eyes filled with doubt, clearly showing that she cared about this title.

She tilted her head slightly and asked softly, "Su Shi... do you usually call Ai Yin that?"

Faced with Xiaodeng's question, Su Shi's expression became even more awkward. She looked at Yue, then at Xiaodeng, clearly indicating that she had nowhere to escape.

"It's only called that in certain specific situations," Su Shi explained in a low voice.

"A specific situation?" Yue seized on the loophole in Su Shi's words. "What kind of specific situation is that?"

Su Shi was speechless and could only turn her head to look out the car window, pretending not to hear Yue's continued questioning.

She gently touched her forehead with her hand, her eyes somewhat unfocused, clearly her inner embarrassment was about to overflow.

"Oh, it's alright, Xiao Ai will be very happy." Yue seemed to have no intention of letting Su Shi off easily, and added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, Su Shi finally couldn't help but glare at Yue, her lips twitching involuntarily. Knowing that continuing the conversation would only put her in an even more awkward situation, she could only choose not to respond.

"It's all Xiao Ai's fault..."

Ai-yin suddenly sneezed again, rubbed her nose, and muttered with a puzzled look, "Do I have a cold?"

Stage Climax: Chapter 111 I Bought a Very Cute Pajama

As the tram gradually slowed down, the rumbling sound slowly dissipated, and the carriage fell silent.

Lixi stood up, looked at Xiaodeng, and said softly, "Xiaodeng, let's go."

However, Su Shi acted faster than Li hope.

She reached out and took Xiaodeng's hand beforehand, and said calmly, "Leave Xiaodeng to me today. You and Yue can go back and enjoy your time together."

Li hope was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Su Shi to interrupt her so directly.

She frowned slightly and uttered a puzzled sound: "Huh?" But Su Shi ignored Li Xi's question and maintained her usual calmness and elegance. She took Xiao Deng's hand and walked straight to the tram door.

"Su Shi...?" Xiao Deng was being pulled along, clearly at a loss, but seeing Su Shi's determined expression, she didn't say anything and could only obediently follow behind her.

Before Xiaodeng followed Su Shi off the tram, she politely turned back to wave to Lixi and Yue, and said with a smile, "Lixi, Yue, goodbye."

Standing next to Lixi, Yue watched as Su Shi and Xiaodeng's figures gradually disappeared into the crowd, and couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Looks like Su Shi has really figured you out tonight."

Lixi still frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied. Although she was still troubled by what had just happened, her expression gradually relaxed after hearing Yue's laughter.

She shook her head and sighed helplessly, "Really... what is Su Shi thinking today?"

Yue chuckled and patted Lixi on the shoulder, "Su Shi watched Xiangzi and the others' performance today, so she must have some feelings about it."

"By the way, Lixi, your house is in the opposite direction, right? Are you coming to my house today?" Yue leaned close to Lixi's ear, her voice very low, with a hint of mischievous laughter, "Mom bought me a very cute pajama set."

"Sleep...pajamas!" Li Xi's face instantly turned red, even her ears were tinged with red, and she froze on the spot, not even daring to turn her head to look at the moon.

Seeing Li hope's reaction, Yue's smile widened. Since confirming her relationship with Li hope, Yue found herself increasingly enjoying teasing him.

Lixi's shyness is always so cute, especially in this slightly intimate situation. The contrast between her usually calm demeanor and her tendency to blush easily makes people want to tease her even more.

Yue blinked innocently, as if her previous words were just a simple invitation without any other meaning: "What's wrong? It's just spending the night together, why are you reacting so strongly? What are you thinking?" She lowered her voice, a sly smile on her face, and leaned closer.

"I...I wasn't thinking anything strange!" Li hope's face flushed red as she quickly turned her head away, her voice trembling with panic as she tried to explain. Normally calm and composed, she was completely unable to remain composed at this moment.

------------

Su Shi and Xiao Deng walked down the dimly lit street, their shadows stretched long and thin by the faint light of the streetlights.

When they arrived at the pedestrian overpass that appeared so many times, Su Shi suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the ground, as if she were thinking about something.

Takamatsu also stopped following Su Shi's movements, looking at her with slight confusion: "Su Shi..."

Su Shi did not respond immediately. She took a deep breath and slowly turned around, her face showing a complicated expression, as if she had a lot to say but did not know where to begin.

“Little Lamp…” she whispered, looking directly into Lamp’s eyes, a look of hesitation mixed with expectation. “What do you think of Ave Mujica?”

Gao Songdeng was caught off guard by Su Shi's sudden question. He paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Xiao Xiang and the others... are really strong and dazzling. Their stage performance was amazing and completely captured the audience's attention. They are even comparable to Roselia and Ras."

Su Shi frowned slightly; clearly, this wasn't the answer she really wanted to hear. She bit her lip again, as if gathering her courage to continue asking, "I... I mean... Xiao Deng, do you really have any special opinions about Ave Mujica, about Xiao Xiang and their brand new band?"

Her voice carried a hint of unease, and her eyes never left the small lamp, as if waiting for it to give some crucial answer.

“Crychic…” Xiaodeng looked at Su Shi, “Su Shi… do you want to talk about something related to Crychic?”

Su Shi stood by the bridge, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair, the messy strands swaying softly in the night.

Her hand rested unconsciously on the cold railing, and she seemed somewhat powerless, as if some emotion deep within her heart was being slowly siphoned away by the chill.

Her gaze fell on the city lights in the distance, and she said softly, "Xiao Xiang... although she has said goodbye to Crychic... we still don't know the real reason why she left Crychic to found Ave Mujica."

Takamatsu recalled the words Nagasaki Motoyo had said to her on the Revue stage.

"Su Shi... still can't forget Crychic?" Takamatsu asked.

Su Shi remained silent again, shook her head slightly, and gave a bitter smile. "I... don't know. Xiangzi has already said goodbye to Crychic and found a brand new stage that doesn't belong to Crychic. He even has new friends, new bonds, and new goals."

"Crychic is a thing of the past for Xiangzi... and she has officially given her farewell performance..."

Su Shi lowered her eyes slightly, the moonlight shining on her face, the soft light reflecting her complex and indescribable emotions. Her voice was as soft as if it were carried away by the wind, with a hint of helplessness that she could not hide: "I keep telling myself to learn to let go, to learn to say goodbye... but I find that I really can't do it."

"Hmm...?" Su Shi suddenly felt a warmth on her hand.

She looked down and saw that it was Xiaodeng who had stepped forward and gently taken her hand. The warm touch made her pause slightly, as if she were enveloped in this tenderness.

"I... I'll probably never forget Crychic for the rest of my life." Takamatsu Akari's voice was soft yet firm, as if she were expressing the emotions she had long suppressed deep within her heart.

Upon hearing Deng's words, a rare smile gradually appeared on Su Shi's face, which had been tinged with sadness. The smile was small, but it conveyed a sense of relief and warmth, as if she had finally found a kindred spirit.

“Little Lamp…” Su Shi chuckled softly, her tone tinged with a mix of teasing and wistfulness, “I really am not good at dealing with people like you… But you’re right, I’ll never forget Crychic either.”

Her gaze gradually left the small lamp and turned to the crescent moon on the horizon.

The silvery moonlight shone on her face, outlining her soft features. It was as if, at this moment, her mood also calmed down with the cool night breeze.

The two stood on the pedestrian overpass, the crescent moon hanging quietly in the night sky, its light as still as water, serene and peaceful.

Stage Climax: Chapter 112 The Big Bad Wolf and the Panda

Since the Mygo band was reformed, Shiina Tatsuki has found herself undergoing subtle changes.

She was once known as a "lone wolf," but she didn't seem to care much about it. After all, she did spend most of her time alone, walking her own path, thinking alone, and facing music and life alone.

However, since joining Mygo, Lixi has found that her life has gradually changed—she is no longer always alone.

With companions by my side, with people to share joy and sorrow, the feeling of loneliness gradually seemed to fade away with each rehearsal and performance of the band.

She suddenly realized that this change had even spread to her life.

At least, Li hope thought to herself, "A lone wolf shouldn't be sleeping with someone else every now and then, right?" But her current situation was becoming more and more contrary to that image of a lone wolf.

Every time she slept with Yue, she felt inexplicably at ease, and even a little expectant, as if that warm companionship had become a habit in her life.

She bit her lip, a self-deprecating smile in her eyes, a strange feeling rising within her. She had never imagined that she would so desperately crave this kind of intimate contact.

So much so that when I said this month that I bought a really cute pajama set, I actually felt a little excited.

Lixi had always thought of herself as a "lone wolf," but now that she thought about it, she was more like... a "big dog" looking forward to being pampered.

"Lone wolf or something, it really isn't suitable for me right now..." Li hope smiled helplessly, thinking to herself.

Shiina Riki looked down at the pajamas she was wearing, a loungewear set with a panda pattern.

She and Yue bought this pajama set together at a shopping mall after a performance.

At the time, Yue originally wanted to buy her a whole set of those fluffy panda-themed onesie pajamas, so that she would look like a real panda when she wore them.

But Lixi refused outright, feeling that those clothes were too troublesome to wear, especially when she wanted to go to the bathroom at night, she would have to struggle to take off the entire nightgown.

So she chose this simple panda-patterned pajama set. Although it wasn't particularly extravagant, it was comfortable and fun enough.

Just as Shiina Tatsuki was lost in thought, a soft footstep sound came from outside the door, followed by a creak as the bedroom door was pushed open.

Li hope looked up and subconsciously glanced at the door, wondering who would bother her so late at night.

However, what came into her view was not a person, but a "panda". The panda stood awkwardly at the door, wearing black and white fluffy pajamas and a cute panda hat on its head.

Lixi froze instantly. She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen wrong.

When she looked closely, she realized that it wasn't a real panda at all, but rather Hinasaki wearing a panda-themed onesie.

"What...what are you doing?" Li hope looked at the 〒Q〇un贰咎淋wu珊〤?虾琦散「月” standing at the door in such cute pajamas, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Yue stood at the doorway, a sly smile playing on her lips, and slowly approached Lixi's bedside.

She raised her arm, striking a proud pose, and said, "How about it? Doesn't this panda pajama suit me perfectly?"

Lixi couldn't help but laugh, a smile curving her lips. She shook her head and said, "This is... the cute pajamas you were talking about, Xiaoyue?"

"Of course!" Yue laughed triumphantly, then pounced on Lixi's bed, showing Lixi her fluffy panda form. "Look, aren't I cute?"

Shiina Ritsuki felt a surge of warmth as she looked at Hinasaki Tsuki, the "panda," who had jumped onto her. Tsuki's fluffy pajamas made her look exceptionally cute; Ritsuki even felt that Tsuki was more playful and irresistible than usual.

"Xiaoyue... thank you," Lixi said softly from the bottom of her heart, her voice filled with tenderness and gratitude.

"Hehe~" Yue pulled down her panda hat, revealing half her face, and continued in a cute, childlike voice, "Little Lixi, do you want to sleep with this little panda tonight?"

Lixi smiled helplessly, a doting smile playing on her lips. "Of course I want to! But be careful, the big bad wolf is going to eat the little panda!"

After saying that, Li hope suddenly lunged forward and hugged Yue tightly, holding her close as if afraid she would run away.
