Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

She is truly worthy of being the good sister who has always stuck with her since childhood, although the little girl often gives people a headache when doing things, and to some extent is even more troublesome than her older sister.

She remembered that one time Lenai made a child cry at school, and she, as the "parent", ran to the school to solve the problem for her.

But why did such a misunderstanding happen? Why did her sister act so different in school? Others may find it difficult to understand, but only Chihiro can understand her peculiar way of thinking.

Qianxun patted the little girl's head, then looked at Lixi, who had a strange expression, and asked:

"Lixi, you probably still have some questions for me, right? And you guys too."

"I want to know... Is it really impossible for Su Shi to stay?"

"What are you talking about?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled, and under everyone's surprised gaze, she easily overturned all her previous statements like a little devil, "Su Shi didn't really want to study abroad~"

"Eh?"

"Those were all lies told by Su Shi and I together. Oh, yes, I guess she doesn't even know it this time."

"Then why..."

"Because Sushi is lonely."

Chihiro Tsuzuki interrupted Takamatsu Deng's question and said in a tone of loneliness and sympathy, "She is a very stupid girl. From the moment she chose to believe me and was ready to let me cooperate with her to revive Crychic, she was already on the wrong path.

Of course, I am also an accomplice because I did not stop her and even helped her accomplish this."

"Sister Qianxun, are you saying that... Su Shi asked you to pretend to be her to form a band? But it seems that doing so won't do anything good for reuniting crychic?"

"Yes, her original plan was for me to sabotage it, but I just didn't listen to her."

"..."

The corners of Lixi's mouth twitched slightly. At this moment, she didn't know whether she should say that Chihiro Tsuzuki did a good job, or that her behavior of cheating on both sides was very hateful?

"Then why are you..."

"I had no intention of doing this today, and I never thought you would do this, but this is an opportunity, and I want to try to make Su Shi give up her idea.

Although I used to be like Su Shi, I was also upset about the disbanding of my past bands. Perhaps it was for this reason that I agreed to help her.

But now I've figured it out. If you want to protect a band... you should protect it while it still exists, before everyone is completely disappointed in each other.

No matter how much you say you miss the past and how much you wish it were back, it's just an attempt to deny the fact that you failed to turn the tide and bring everyone together in that critical moment."

"So Su Shi... has never thought about forming a band with us?"

Takamatsu Deng frowned, looking a little lost, but Chihiro's next words interrupted the girl.

"Of course she wanted to form a band with everyone, but she was confused. She didn't even realize that the reason she felt wronged just now was because everyone in the band didn't need her.

Or maybe she realized it, but she was just being stubborn and refusing to give in because she couldn't let go of Xiangzi and the others."

"But Su Shi could have told us directly about her idea..."

Tsuzuki Chihiro shook her head, denying Riki's opinion, "I don't know why she thinks that way, but her attitude is very clear, that is, she feels that no one will support her.

Su Shi once said something to me. She said that no one actually asked her to do this. Maybe this plan between her and me was just her wishful thinking.

But now, no matter what, this wishful thinking should have a result.

Chihiro Tsuzuki stood up and bowed to the people in front of her very ladylike, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, a pink-haired girl jumped out and grabbed her hand.

"Qianxun..."

“What’s wrong, Aine?”

"I... I don't know... I mean... what if Su Shi refuses to give up?"

"Not willing to give up?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled slightly, "Then I'll continue to think of a solution~ What else can I do?"

Think of ways to?

Should I find a way to make Su Shi change his mind, or should I find a way to help Su Shi fulfill his wish?

Chihaya Aine was a little confused looking at Tsuzuki Chihiro's back, but what made her even more confused was that she always felt sour in her heart at this moment, as if the treasure that had always belonged to her had been snatched away by someone else.

Damn it, she was here first!

Nagasaki Sushi, the fish-stealing cat!

........

"I am back."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know how she got back. Anyway, she walked back home in a daze according to her muscle memory, and took out the access card to unlock the door in a daze.

Finally, he threw himself onto the big bed in the bedroom.

This result should be pretty good, right?

Nagasaki Suyo advised herself this way. After all, Chihiro really deserved a home, and besides, she had already left in a very decent way.

Maybe she can even leave behind a reputation as a great philanthropist, and when she reappears in front of everyone later and lies that she doesn't need to go abroad, everyone may still welcome her.

Really...will she be welcomed?

Su Shi didn't quite understand how Li Xi and Xiao Deng viewed her now, but she knew that she seemed to have no ties that could bind her and Qianxun together.

Su Shi's phone suddenly rang. She subconsciously thought it was a message from Qianxun, but when she opened her phone, she saw a message that made her eyes go dark:

Beni: Suyo, Chihiro... Um, Red Ginger might need you guys to keep it running for a while. Rupa and I have already joined the band.

Shouga: Sorry, we discussed it with Momoka and the others today and decided to form a band together. But I promise Red Ginger will not disband.

"You won't disband?"

Nagasaki Suyo chuckled, "Doesn't withdrawing mean disbanding? It's all like that... all of it."

The girl threw her phone aside. Now her last "home" was shattered. Her value as a bassist or a lead singer might have disappeared?

I don’t know how long it took, but Su Shi seemed to have fallen asleep on this bed in a daze. However, in her dream, she always felt her cheeks were itchy, as if a cat’s paw was scratching her.

"Stop messing around... our generation."

"..."

"Wait, me?!"

When Nagasaki Motoyo opened her eyes, she saw a big cat's face appear in front of her. Looking up along the cat's face, she saw Chihiro Tsuzuki, who was grabbing the cat's hand and scratching her face wildly, looking at her with a smirk.

"Su Shi, Su Shi, I thought you had gone somewhere, but you found your way to the big bed in my room, didn't you?

It really saved me a lot of trouble. I didn't have to go to your house and risk arousing your aunt's suspicion to bring you here."

"……Eh?"

"Okay, it's almost time for the much-anticipated confession."

Tsuzuki Chihiro put down the cat in her hand, and then, under the astonished gaze of Nagasaki Suyo, she reached out her palm to hold her cheek, and looked at the girl with gentle eyes and said:

"Su Shi, I like you. Be my maid for the rest of your life."

"Eh?!"

Chapter 180: Su Shi: I Didn’t Say I Don’t Like It (1/2)

Nagasaki Suyo had a little tinnitus, or to be more precise... it was because Chihiro's words were too "loud", causing the lingering sound of those words to still remain in her ears.

Her heartbeat quickened rapidly, and her emotions became extremely complicated. Should she say she was more surprised or more excited? Su Shi couldn't tell.

But what she could feel at the same time was a sense of fear.

"You... stop joking."

Chihiro Tsuzuki is a liar who often teases her for various reasons. Maybe this time is no exception... After all, this guy's "confession" came without any warning, just like in a detective novel where the final murderer is actually a passerby whose name has never appeared before, which is surprising.

Apart from explaining it as a "joke", Nagasaki Suyo couldn't find any other reason to convince herself at this moment.

"You're so stubborn, Sushi."

"what?"

"Putting aside other things, I really want to ask you why you appeared in my house?"

“…I just took a wrong turn.”

"Went the wrong way? That's not a valid reason... Could it be that in such a short time, the importance of my home and your home in my memory has shifted?

Or... did I overwrite someone's memory?"

"...What do you care?" Nagasaki Suyo realized that this guy must be deliberately teasing her, and her expression gradually became cold. "Shouldn't you be having fun with the band with Li Xi and the others now? Why are you here looking for me?"

"Su Shi is so unreasonable. He's lying on my bed, but he's asking me why I came here... woooo."

"Then I'm leaving now."

But before the angry and embarrassed Nagasaki Motoyo could get up and leave, she was gently pressed down by Chihiro's delicate hand and was pressed back onto the bed.

The distance between the two people was very close, and Nagasaki Suyo tried hard to control her accelerating heartbeat, because she knew that if she didn't control her heartbeat, the girl who pressed her palm on her heart would find out that something was wrong with her.

Of course, even if it wasn't for this reason...letting this guy keep his hands on her chest is also a very outrageous thing, okay!

"Let me go! You bitch!"

"Sushi, I rarely lie to you, don't you understand?" Tsuzuki Chihiro loosened her hand and touched Sushi's rosy little face, "I was wrong about what happened today. Li Xi's actions had nothing to do with me, but it's my fault that I deliberately alienated them from you.

Actually, I originally wanted you to tell me all this, so that the agreement between us would naturally be dissolved as your own thoughts change..."

"You really want to cut off ties with me?"

"Huh?" Tsuzuki Chihiro laughed out of anger, "What are you talking about? I was obviously trying to tell you... crychic may be more of a symbolic meaning to you. If you need someone to accompany you, I can do it.

We'll form a band together in the future. You'll continue to be the bassist, and if the band needs a keyboard, I'll take over."

"......"

"Are you doubting my musical talent?"

"No, I just feel a little surprised..."

She was surprised that all this turned out to be so consistent with her wishes. In the past, she always hoped for something but never got it.

She thought that this was her fate. The sense of belonging and companionship she wanted seemed to leave her at the critical moment every time.

But this time...the dream actually came true?

It's a bit like a dream, very unreal and unreliable, just like I never knew about Chihiro in the last round, but everything changed because of this person this time.

"But since you don't like me and think I'm a perverted bitch, then I'd better leave. Sigh...it's just wishful thinking after all."

"......"

"Ok?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki pretended to turn around and leave, but as she expected, her hand was grabbed by the young widow behind her. However, she still had to act, so when her wrist was held by Su Shi's warm little hand, the girl still made a puzzled sound.

Looking back, what was unbearable was that the young widow's expression was still cold, as if he owed her a lot of money.

But what he said was a bit hilarious.

"I...I didn't say I didn't like it."

........

Thirty minutes later.

"Damn Chihiro, what kind of dirty knowledge did you learn in England?"

"Ahem, the way you turned your back on your words really opened my eyes."

"......"

Nagasaki Suyo rolled her eyes in irritation, then calmly put on her underwear, skirt and socks. Of course, she couldn't go out naked to have dinner with her mother and Chihiro.

But after all, she still felt very happy, but she hid her happiness in her heart and didn't want to let the girl in front of her know that she was happy.

But if it was Chihiro, I'm afraid she couldn't hide her thoughts and emotions, right?

"By the way, Chihiro."

Although calling her Qian is more intimate, Su Shi is already used to calling her by the name without the suffix. Calling her by her first name has become a fixed pattern in their interactions. "Do you really want to learn piano?"

"The piano is pretty good, isn't it?"
