Aspiring to be a girl in a band

So, although Lixi was extremely reluctant, she still let go of the lamp in her arms, and then, with concern, she went to Su Shi's side.

"What's wrong? The live performance was such a success, aren't you happy?"

Su Shi's face showed a hint of struggle as she gently shook off Li hope's hand.

Then, Su Shi asked Li hope in a somewhat angry tone.

"Why... do we have to play 'Spring Day Shadow'... Didn't we agree to only play one piece today?"

The image of Xiangzi fleeing with tears in his eyes still lingered in her mind. Although she had already prepared herself to be an accomplice, the guilt in her heart still made it hard for her to breathe.

Li hope's hand was left suspended in mid-air after Su Shi shook it off.

She had just noticed that Toyokawa Shoko was there, but... to Riki, Shoko was no longer a part of their current band, so there was no need for her to care about her.

"So you still care about that guy after all, don't you?"

Li hope looked into Su Shi's eyes.

Su Shi avoided Li hope's gaze.

"Xiangzi... she just cried."

Eh?

Hearing Su Shi's words, Deng was suddenly stunned.

Although it was Lena who started it, singing "Spring Shadow" to Xiangzi was something that Tohru had always wanted to do.

She wanted to use this song, which was important to both of them, to prove to Xiangzi that she was no longer the weak girl who had to be pushed along to move forward.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

Did I do something wrong again?

Deng subconsciously blamed himself for the mistake.

"Hey? Has Xiangzi come?"

Ai-yin only realized this now, belatedly.

Hey……

Nagasaki Motoyo sighed silently.

She was reflecting on what right she had to criticize everyone.

Even on stage, her fingers never stopped.

Su Shi turned and left.

"Where are you going? At least... to the victory celebration afterwards..."

Lixi knew very well what Su Shi's feelings were for Xiangzi, and she knew that Su Shi must be feeling very upset right now.

But... for the sake of the band's future development, she still tried to persuade Su Shi to stay.

Although her promise to Su Shi had expired, she didn't want it to end like this.

Su Shi turned around and glanced at Li hope with a somewhat forlorn expression.

"I... never mind, I'm really not in the mood today."

"Is that so? Then... get some rest."

Seeing that Su Shi's mood hadn't improved despite his attempts to persuade her to stay, Li hope, for some reason, still breathed a sigh of relief.

Because... she noticed Su Shi's choice of words—today.

In other words, Su Shi just wants to escape for a while.

It wasn't that he wanted to leave the band.

That's fine.

Lixi's tense nerves relaxed.

After comforting Deng, she turned around and prepared to lead everyone away from backstage.

Since there was only one exit, Su Shi had no choice but to continue walking with them for a while longer.

But during this journey, not only Lixi, but almost all of the other four members witnessed that scene.

After glancing at her phone, Nagasaki Motoyo instantly became dejected, as if her soul had been drained in an instant, and even her face turned pale.

This sudden change startled everyone.

They even wondered if Su Shi had some hidden illness that had suddenly flared up.

"What's wrong with you? Don't scare us like this."

Li hope's voice was trembling, and she quickly helped Su Shi up.

"Su Shi? Are you feeling unwell...? Let us take you to the hospital."

Ai Yin was so frightened by the other party's abrupt change that she dared not use the nickname anymore.

Su Shi did not respond to everyone's kindness; she simply leaned against the wall, panting.

"I...I'm fine, I'll go now."

Su Shi's response was brief and indifferent.

After taking one last look at the band members, she walked in the opposite direction from them.

……

"Soyo, is she... really alright?"

As the figure gradually disappeared into the distance, the lamp still couldn't shake off its worries.

Lixi could only offer words of comfort.

"Don't worry... she's not that fragile, and she just doesn't want us to get involved, which is why she deliberately walked away with a long face."

"Is that so..."

With a hint of confusion, Deng was then half-heartedly led away by Li hope.

……

Nagasaki Motoyo was so distraught because she received a message from Arakawa Kirika.

Come see me right away!

She knew all too well that her nightmare was about to return.

……

We arrived at the location designated by Arakawa Kirika.

Nagasaki Motoyo noticed it when she was on stage, and Mutsuya was also by Arakawa Kirika's side, but now...

Liu Liuwo Ershan is Ba (Ba Shi Ling Meng Mu is nowhere to be seen).

It must have been sent away by this person.

So... is it going to be another one-on-one conversation?

Seeing that Mu was not with Arakawa Kirika, Suze's fear intensified.

She was afraid of being alone with Arakawa Kirika.

She looked around at the surroundings; it was a secluded park.

"What do you need me for?"

Arakawa Kirika's ambiguous smile made Su Shi very uncomfortable; she could even feel goosebumps rising on her skin.

Arakawa Kirika did not answer her, but stood up and passed by Su Shi.

"I don't have the habit of talking in public places, so let's find another place."

……

Su Shi frowned. If they were planning to change locations...

We should have agreed on this from the beginning.

She was somewhat disgusted by Arakawa Kirika's unnecessary actions, and she even suspected that Arakawa Kirika was doing it on purpose.

But Su Shi didn't dare to say anything more and could only obediently follow behind her.

"Where are we going..."

After walking for a while, Su Shi found the surrounding streets becoming increasingly familiar, and her unease deepened.

Upon hearing this, Arakawa Kirika turned around and looked at Su Shi with a mocking expression.

"Of course it's your house."

Volume 1: Chapter 130 Burdened with Sins

With a feeling of unease, Nagasaki Motoyo pushed open her front door.

Before she could even say "Please come in."

Arakawa Kirika walked into her house quite naturally.

Arakawa Kirika lay down on the Su family's sofa as soon as she entered the house, as if she were the one who owned the place.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Su Shi asked reluctantly.

She really didn't want to entertain this person, but unfortunately, she had no way to deal with him.

"No need, let's get straight to the point."

Arakawa Kirika lay lazily on the sofa, staring at Suze with an interrogative gaze.

Upon hearing this, Su Shi could only obediently sit down and await her fate.

"Um……"

Arakawa Kirika's expression turned somewhat displeased, and she rested her chin on her hand, scrutinizing Su Shi for a while.

"Are you that afraid of me? Come a little closer."
