I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Li Xi actually wasn't very interested in this so-called band, after all, there was no place for Chitose.

However, seeing that Qiansui was in a good mood, she didn't worry about it too much.

Chitose is always tired after every performance... Being a backup keyboardist doesn't require too much physical exertion, so this gentle option is a good choice.

"I…don't need it."

While adjusting his hearing aid, Chitose felt an itch inside his ear.

This is a sign that your body is starting to feel uncomfortable from wearing hearing aids for an extended period of time.

[Zhao Xiong] It's amazing, right? The impact is simply immeasurable... Interesting. "Li Xi is really something. He saved a little money and then spent it recklessly... Listen, is my voice still normal?"

"It's normal, I..."

"Lixi and Chitose are really close! Oh, and Chitose, can you play the guitar? That's great! If you can, being a guitarist would be great too. My friend Wakaba Mu plays guitar really well, so if you have any questions, you can ask her!"

Shoko Toyokawa takes care of everyone on the field, including, of course, the most special Chitose Noshiro.

"Eh? Guitar? Oh... If you need me, I'll try my best."

Shiina Riki just watched Chitose having to respond to other people's conversations. Under the table, her hands subconsciously clenched.

Chitose is just like that... She's such a kind person. She'll do her best to help others whenever they need her... So even if it means sacrificing her own dreams, she'll save a strange girl who fell into the lake.

This kind girl was sitting next to Lixi. Everyone at the table was chatting happily. Lixi sighed.

Chitose, it seems like you are glowing.

Li Xi doesn't dislike gentle girls at all, although the fact that they are not only gentle to him does make people...

I feel a little sad.

……

"Still feeling sour? My best friend, the jealous Lixi!"

"Huh? I'm not jealous... How could I possibly be jealous..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Did I ignore you just now? Can we hold hands?"

Chitose still spoke slowly, but this slowness brought a sense of anticipation. Li Xi would look forward to every word of Chitose.

Walking in the sunset, the streets around them were surprisingly quiet with only the two of them, except for the occasional hissing sound of bicycle tires rubbing against the asphalt road in the distance.

Their little hands were holding together, swaying from time to time like a swing in the breeze.

Chitose’s hands are so warm, Chitose’s hands have always been so small and warm… Li Xi likes them the most.

My favorite is the hands of my best friends.

"I... I already said I didn't feel anything strange. Xiao Sui, you're being overly suspicious... Now take off your hearing aids. We're all gone."

With her head lowered, Lixi's profile was dyed orange-red by the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, or she was really blushing.

"But if I take it off, I can't hear Lixi's voice anymore... It's so beautiful, I want to listen to it for a few more minutes. Am I being greedy?"

It was not until this moment that Shiina Riki realized that she was not the only one blushing.

The girl in front of her stared at her shyly, like a small cake covered with jam.

"Ahem... not really, Xiao Sui..."

Xiaosui, you are so cute, but I am embarrassed to say it out loud.

Ch208. So I picked up the guitar again

"cough."

"Cough cough."

"Cough cough cough."

Li Xi is still too much of a loser, and can only use coughing to cover up his own ugliness.

"Lixi, cute, I like you. Best friend! I like you, hehe."

"Don't say that anymore, I...I..."

You've almost coaxed me into a little embryo.

Riki's coy look was a delicacy that Noshiro Chitose had to savor.

She would tease Li Xi from time to time, and then just wait to see his cute reaction.

As for the price? It's just a few bland words.

A small fry like Shiina Riki will definitely give Chitose the most satisfying response.

His walking posture became unnatural, and Shiina Riki sometimes lowered his head and sometimes raised it, as if his body organs had nowhere to go.

"Hey, Lixi, I like you~"

"Didn't I just say it once? Why are you saying it again?"

Walking hand in hand towards Chitose's house, Li Xi felt that the sunset was not as red as her skin.

"Happy, Lixi, I'm about to take off my hearing aids. Please say something to me one last time."

"Ah... say something, let me think..."

Shiina Riki only regretted that her IQ could not match Einstein's, otherwise she would have come up with the optimal solution long ago.

What to say, just say...

"I like it too...Xiao Sui, we are best friends."

"It's too late, I took it off a long time ago!"

Chitose waved the hearing aid in front of Lixi's eyes again and again, like a victorious general showing off her prey.

"How can this be! So bad..."

"Hehe, although I don't know what Li Xi is talking about now... then let me hug you, really, like a child."

Chitose gently hugged Shiina Ritsuki from the front, and saw crows circling in the sky behind him.

"Lixi, the crow's cry is very pleasant, isn't it? I can't hear it at all now... Uh... Please help me enjoy it."

The intensive oral rehabilitation in the past few days has allowed Chitose to barely correct most of her strange pronunciations, but she still says something strange from time to time.

"Okay... I'm always listening. When you take off your hearing aids, I will be your ears."

Half of her face was buried in Chitose's hair. Shiina Riki knew that Chitose Noshiro couldn't hear her, so she mustered up the courage to say some strange words.

They are just good sisters, and what they said was just normal whispers between good sisters...

Lixi has never had a good friend, so she thinks a good friend is like this.

"crow…"

After the hug ended, Li Xi began to try to talk to Chitose about this aspect.

She wanted to stay overnight at Chitose's house today... If they could chat more, she could use the excuse that "it's not safe to go home now" to get away with it.

[I've heard that the color of a crow's feathers is outside the human visual range, but the wavelength of its feathers actually appears colorful to other birds.]

This is valuable knowledge that Li Xi obtained by specifically looking up, memorizing and studying information.

The setting sun, the crows, the holding of hands, the warmth was frozen at this moment, and the insignificant little unpleasantness at the small gathering to form the band just now was just like a passing cloud.

But my explanation doesn't seem very romantic.

This isn't a very romantic explanation...will it bore Chitose?

"Crows... they're so cute. They attracted me at first because they were colorful... no, they should be called black."

Chitose narrowed her eyes and smiled, she had already completed her vision in reality.

In real life, a similar conversation took place in a similar scene after school one afternoon... Thanks to reality for providing the material.

"No wonder the legend says that the crow was called the rainbow bird before." The road continued to extend, and Chitose continued to tickle Li Xi's palm.

"That's great," the victim Lixi shuddered a few times.

She suddenly felt a strong sense of fear.

Li Xi turned his head and glanced at the flock of crows above his head. Although he thought they were beautiful, an indescribable feeling of unease still remained.

The dusk is sad and beautiful. If one day she and Chitose are no longer together, just like the day is separated from the night...what will she do?

At that time, won’t all the good things we have now really be as sharp as broken glass?

Forget it, Lixi, forget it...

Shiina Riki comforted herself in her heart.

【Being able to enjoy the present moment is the best.】

The crows' voices gradually faded away.

Some people praise crows as sacred, while others denounce them as unlucky.

But the crow doesn't care, a crow is a crow.

……

"Tonight we're having soba noodles and Miracle Fried Pork Cutlet! Shiina Ritsuki, please enjoy your meal—"

"Eh--"

Just by mentioning it a few times, Qiansui remembered what food he liked to eat.

Holding his heart, Li Xi was unable to move his chopsticks for a while.

That feeling of accelerated heartbeat is so subtle...

This made Li Xi's joy, which was already a great success due to the overnight stay plan, even greater.

[Lixi, what do you think of Xiangzi's suggestion?]

【What? 】

When preparing to start with Chitose, Chitose's sign language made Li Xi fall into deep thought.

After thinking about it, Li Xi chose not to interfere with Qiansui's thoughts.

[I will always support you, Xiaosui, no matter which way you choose.]

"Will you support me no matter what?"

【Yes. 】

"Then I think I can still give it a try... I would be very unhappy if I just sat on the bench when I first joined a band."

Chitose stared at the food and no longer looked at Li Xi's sign language.

A series of interesting plans have already formed in her mind, coupled with the intelligence she has already obtained on various people...

[This time I must earn more money and return home.]

"I'm starting! Lixi, eat quickly."

"Oh...oh, okay, I'm starting."

The fried pork cutlet was crispy and juicy, the soba noodles were very refreshing, and the person accompanying me while I ate was my dearest friend and benefactor.

Shiina Riki can't remember many things in the past, but she is deeply impressed by every little thing after she met Chitose Noshiro.

Qian Sui saw Li Xi smiling at her subtlely, so she returned a sweet smile.

It was a smile that you might not see more than a few times in your life, but once you saw it, you would never forget it.

"Xiao Sui...you are more delicious than food..." Shiina Riki dared to say this only because Noshiro Chitose could not hear anything.

What she didn't know was that while Noshiro Chitose was smiling, she never stopped using [Humility].

[Shiina Riki... you are indeed a big idiot. 】

Chitose thought.

[As expected, you are one of my best friends...]
