However, Bai Ye had already disappeared.

"Bai Ye? Wow! Bai Ye is missing?!"

..

Starry back alley.

Bai Ye loosened his collar and leaned against the starry outer wall.

The night breeze carried the aroma of grilled fish from the izakaya and blew through his hair.

Suddenly, Bai Ye heard hurried footsteps.

"...white night..."

Gao Songdeng leaned on the railing and gasped for breath, his bangs stuck to his forehead with sweat.

"I...want to talk to you."

Chapter 28: Bitterness vs. Ending Band

"Excuse me, have I seen you before? Do you know me?"

Bai Ye raised one eyebrow slightly, pretending that he had never met Gao Songdeng before, with one hand in his pocket, as if he was carefully looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him.

"Bai Ye...we are practicing together in Kulaixiku...with Su Shi, Li Xi, Mu, and me..."

"Ku Lai Xi Ku? Nagasaki Suyo? I don't know him. I'm sorry you got the wrong person."

Bai Ye turned his head away, hid his gaze, turned around and walked deeper into the alley, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and Bai Ye's hands were grabbed tightly by Deng's hands.

Deng's fingers tightly clasped Bai Ye's wrist, as if afraid that he would disappear from her sight again. Her eyes were red and there was a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Bai Ye...can you come back? I need you..."

Bai Ye's pupils shrank to the smallest possible size, and he didn't dare turn around and look at Deng.

He was afraid that if he took one look at the lights now, he would be unable to resist agreeing to return to Kulaixiku.

His long-cold heart began to warm up, and the inner struggle made him unable to calm down.

You are not my family, not my real brother.

You are just a stranger

Fortunately, Su Shi’s words replayed in his mind in time, and Bai Ye’s heart, which was about to warm up, was instantly frozen.

"My relationship with Kulaixiku is over, and I won't go back."

Bai Ye finally turned around and looked at Gao Songdeng, replying slowly and heavily, word by word, each word weighing heavily on Gao Songdeng's heart.

"But we agreed to form a band for life!"

"That's a lie..."

"It's not a lie!!!" Gao Songdeng held Bai Ye's hand tighter, and tears began to flow from her face and drip onto the ground.

"Tick, tick." A girl's tears are the most terrifying weapon.

Bai Ye's pupils twitched slightly, and the originally hard shell was instantly shattered.

He quickly searched for a tissue in his pocket and wiped Deng's tears. "Don't cry, Deng. Don't cry. Really, your eyes will turn red with tears, and you won't look good..."

"Bai Ye...why can't you come back?"

Bai Ye's hand paused for a moment, and then he continued to wipe the tears that had just flowed from Deng, but his movements became a little stiff.

"Because Nagasaki..., because Kulaixiku doesn't need me..."

Bai Ye originally wanted to say that name, but he was afraid of hurting the feelings of Deng and Nagasaki Suye and making the situation more complicated, so he decided to take everything on himself.

Just as Hong Xia commented: Bai Ye is too kind.

"It's hardship, it's hardship. There's no place for me, right?"

Deng fell into deep thought. She was unable to digest Bai Ye's words for a moment and could only blurt out something.

"I'm sorry...Bai Ye...I'm too stupid...I can't seem to figure it out..."

"You don't need to apologize, Deng. You didn't do anything wrong... Come on, smile for a moment, okay?"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, looking at the heartbroken Deng, and couldn't help but want to take good care of him.

"Hey!!!"

A figure rushed out as if flying, pushed Bai Ye away fiercely, and stood in front of Deng to protect him.

"You guy, what are you doing to the lamp?!" Li Xi put her hands in front of her chest, ready to hit Bai Ye at any time. Her body leaned forward slightly, trying to protect the lamp behind her.

"Lixi?"

Deng looked at the figure rushing out and wanted to explain.

"You are the one! Why are you pushing our Bai Bai?!" Aiyin quickly followed, opened her arms, and used her body to protect Bai Ye.

There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in her voice and her eyes were full of vigilance.

"You bastard?! Bai Ye made Deng cry! Get out of the way!"

“No! No way!!”

Aine and Riki's eyes were wide open, their foreheads pressed tightly together, their noses almost touching, and they could clearly hear each other's breath spraying on each other's faces.

The confrontation between the two was filled with tension; the air around them seemed to freeze, giving people a sense of imminent crisis.

Hong Xia and Yamada Ryou came out from the starry sky one step later, and as soon as they went out, they saw the tense confrontation between Aine and Riki.

They looked at each other and quickly walked to Bai Ye.

Hong Xia gently patted Bai Ye's shoulder, signaling him not to worry.

Yamada Ryosuke stood aside, took out his bass, and watched Riki vigilantly, ready to join the battle at any time.

"Lixi, I'm fine..." Deng held Lixi's hand, "I... want to talk to Bai Ye... I want him to come back to Kulaixiku."

Deng's fingers trembled slightly as he grabbed the corner of Lixi's clothes, trying to calm Lixi down.

"That won't do! Baibai is already the keyboard player for us to end our band! I won't go back to Kulaixueku!!" Aine immediately retorted after hearing that.

[We worked so hard to form this super awesome and popular band, and we won't give it to you guys for nothing, even if it's just a small amount.]

Aiyin secretly made up her mind, her expression became more determined, and her slightly hard chest slowly pressed down on Li Xi, as if telling everyone that Bai Ye was hers.

"You...Bai Ye was the one who suffered the most from playing with the keyboard." Li Xi retorted, gritting his teeth.

At this time, Hongxia really couldn't bear it anymore, she took a deep breath.

He stood out from the crowd, forcefully pulled Aine and Riki apart, and then said mercilessly, "After all, it was you who abandoned Bai Ye first. Otherwise, how could Bai Ye join the End Band!"

"That's not the case!" Li Xi retorted anxiously.

"The facts are here..." Yamada Ryo took the opportunity to add another blow, her voice full of sarcasm, as if to say that your excuses are totally untenable.

"Tsk..." Li Xi smacked his lips unconsciously.

Hong Xia's face darkened, like a sky covered with dark clouds, a rainstorm could break out at any time.

She took firm steps and stood in front of Lixi, putting on an unprecedented serious expression.

"Along the way, I listened to Li Xi's stories of hardship and suffering..."

“Honestly…”

Hong Xia took a deep breath and said the coldest words that she should never have said.

"Kulaixiku, is there any need for resurrection? You guys are obsessed with yourselves..."

"I..." Li Xi's heart was in a state of panic when she heard Hong Xia's words. She turned her head away hesitantly. Her fingers twisted the corner of her clothes unconsciously, revealing her inner restlessness.

She couldn't refute Hong Xia's words.

"don't want...."

When Deng heard this, it was as if her most fragile nerve was touched. Her whole body shrank suddenly, and an instinctive escape reaction made her flee the scene at an extremely fast speed.

"lamp!!"

Seeing this, Li Xi became anxious and quickly turned around to chase the escaping Deng. Her footsteps made rapid tapping sounds on the ground.

While running, Li Xi did not forget to look back and gave Aine a black face, his eyes full of blame and anger.

Aine: No? Why are you glaring at me?

After the band ended, everyone just watched them leave...

"We won..." Yamada Ryo put away his bass, sighed, and looked disappointed.

I thought I could use the bass to hit people, what a shame.

"Yea~ The White Defense Battle was a great success!"

Aine and Yamada Ryo high-fived each other, their palms making crisp sounds in the air, as if they were celebrating their mutual understanding and efforts.

"You've left such a mess, Bai Ye." Hong Xia sighed helplessly, with fatigue in her eyes. Then she waved her hand and pulled Bai Ye up.

"Everyone...thank you."

"Don't be polite, Baibai, we're in the same band!"

"Remember to give me the appearance fee just now, 5000 yen..."

"pain!"

Hong Xia gave Liang a knife to the head. Although the action was not heavy, it carried a hint of warning, "Liang, don't take advantage of the situation."

"But what should we do next? They don't seem like the type to give up easily." Aine raised her head, tapped her chin with her hand, and fell into deep thought, as if thinking about the next countermeasures.

"Okay, let's ignore them for now. Next up is the celebration party for the band!"

"Let's change our mood quickly. Eat, drink, and be happy!"

Hongxia interrupted Aine's topic and quickly changed direction, trying to pull Baiye out of this complicated emotional vortex.

She reached out and gently pushed Bai Ye's shoulder, signaling him to leave this place of trouble quickly.

However, Bai Ye stood there motionless, as if his feet had taken root.

There was a hint of apology and determination in his voice, "I'm sorry everyone... I have to go..."

“Why do you want to go?!” Aine became excited instantly after hearing that.

She suddenly jumped in front of Bai Ye, stretched out her body in a big shape, and tried to block his way with her body.

Bai Ye was silent for a while, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

He recalled how Deng had just run away crying, and a strong sense of guilt and reluctance surged in his heart, "There are some things I must make clear..."

"No, Baibai, you're pushing yourself too hard. You're the one who's been hurt and abandoned, so why should you comfort others?"

Aiyin refused to give in, with her hands on her hips, refusing to give in at all.

"But Deng... has nothing to do with this matter... She didn't do anything wrong..."

Bai Ye lowered his head, his heart still struggling, and his voice gradually became weaker.

"how about you?"

"Did you do something wrong? Why are you being treated so harshly?"

"Have they ever cared about you? Have they ever cared about your feelings?!"

At this moment, Aiyin would never let Bai Ye go to see those so-called former teammates and then come back with injuries all over his body.

"I..." Bai Ye lowered his head. He couldn't refute.

"Okay, little Ain, don't be so bitter and resentful." Hongxia walked up to Ain and used her fingers to forcefully comb open her wrinkled brows.

"But!"

"Let Bai Ye go. I believe Bai Ye can handle it."

Hongxia gave a forced smile, but her right hand was clenched unnaturally.

[Xia Xia obviously doesn't want Bai Bai to go, why do you say that?]

Aiyin dropped her hands as if in compromise.
