Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

"it is good!"

On the brightly lit streets at dusk, the lights desperately chased after Ai Yin.

It wasn't until they reached the entrance of a concert hall called "RING" that Deng finally grabbed Aine's hand.

At that moment, Lixi, who was working at RING, witnessed this scene.

"what?"

Chapter 29 Obtained Without Any Effort

"Little Aiyin!"

As they got very close, Akari took a big step and grabbed Aine's hand. She almost fell because she was holding on tightly, but thankfully Aine reacted in time and stopped.

The chase wasn't very long, but it still left Deng panting heavily after he stopped.

"Love...cough cough!"

Just as Deng was about to speak again, he was interrupted by coughing because he couldn't catch his breath.

"lamp……"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Ai Yin walked to the side and patted the back of the lamp, making it feel a little better.

Her initial disheartened expression remained largely unchanged, but at this moment it became a symbol of worry.

"Xiao Deng, I suddenly had an urgent matter and had to leave without explaining to you. I'm so sorry!"

Ai-yin concealed the truth.

"...Really?" Deng released her grip and looked up. "But..."

However, the lamp felt differently.

As Ai Yin ran out of the private room, Deng had a gut feeling that she was frustrated and unwilling to accept defeat.

"The light? What's going on?"

On one side, a girl with straight black hair put down the water glass she was wiping and walked over.

Is it a friend of the lamp?

Aine didn't think too much about it and continued running away after the light let go of her hand.

"I really have an urgent matter to attend to!" she said, waving without turning her head.

"Xiao Aiyin..."

The hand holding the lamp in mid-air seemed to freeze for half a second before slowly falling.

Things are probably not as Aine described.

The light is just a symbol; it's still unclear what happened.

Confusion and worry were evident on her face.

Seeing that the lamp seemed to care a lot about the pink-haired girl, Li Xi felt a strange mix of emotions.

But after asking "What happened?" once she came over, she didn't ask again and instead focused her attention on the lamp itself.

"Deng, why don't you come inside and rest for a bit... and have... a glass of water?"

Not long ago, Lixi was asked by the store manager if he wanted to work as a receptionist because of his good coffee skills.

But she refused, believing she wasn't very good at speaking.

However, working in the store, she often heard the conversations of the receptionists when greeting customers.

So now that the lamp had arrived at the store entrance and she was a little tired, she subconsciously said these words to avoid remaining silent.

He paused for a moment halfway through his sentence due to a sudden sense of awkwardness, then looked away from Deng Zhanwang and awkwardly read out the rest of the sentence word by word.

"Yes," Deng nodded, "It's been a long time... Lixi."

“…Long time no see.” Li Xi said, looking straight ahead as she walked alongside the lamp.

On the other side of the street not far away, Su Shi, who had come to find Li Xi, also saw what had just happened.

Seeing that, in addition to Li Xi, the lead singer of Crychic also happened to be there, Su Shi felt that the timing of her visit was quite good.

She entered the store and walked lightly to the seat opposite the light.

At this moment, Tama lowered her head and hunched her chest, holding her phone under the table with both hands. She sent Chizuru the message, "Aine said she had something urgent and left," and then stared at the screen waiting for a reply.

"Little Lamp~ Long time no see~"

"Ah... Su Shi." Deng looked up, quickly turned off her phone screen, and put it back in her pocket.

After greeting her in a soft voice, Su Shi slightly lifted her chair and pulled it back to avoid making a screeching sound, then sat down with her legs together.

"Lixi, please, Earl Grey tea."

Su Shi's azure eyes gazed at the cup of boiling water in front of the lamp. It seemed that she had been paying attention to messages on her phone and hadn't taken a sip yet.

"Won't you drink something else, Deng?"

Su Shi glanced at Li Xi, seemingly hinting at something, but the other only met her gaze briefly without responding.

Sigh... You seemed to care so much about the lights, but you didn't even think to offer me a drink?

However, it would be enough to let Deng come into the store for a drink of water; Su Shi didn't expect Li Xi to go to any great lengths.

Just like on that rainy day, even if Lixi hadn't said a word, he might have been able to salvage the situation.

At that point, he had already made Xiangzi hesitate; all he needed to do was offer a few more words of persuasion.

As it happened, Li Xi said those infuriating things at that very moment.

Really are……

"Hmm... I'll just have hot water."

Deng picked up the cup, glanced sideways, and took a small sip, still looking somewhat absent-minded.

It wasn't until China sent a message that Akari suddenly became focused.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Deng. I'll talk to Xiao Aiyin about it."

China did not speculate on Aine's claim that there was a sudden emergency.

"China, how are you feeling right now?" Deng asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just drank too much soda and got a little bloated."

"Uh-huh."

Deng stared at the phone under the table, his expression gradually shifting from worry to a smile.

When she looked up, she saw Su Shi with her hands clasped together on the table, staring at the lamp.

"Xiao Deng seems to be having a great chat with someone."

“…Hmm.” Deng hadn’t figured out how to tell Su Shi yet.

Because explaining China is... quite complicated.

Although they haven't known each other for very long, the time spent together and the understanding he has gained about her through their interactions are now difficult for Deng to express in words.

In the lamp's eyes, Aine and Chinatsu have known each other for a long time, and Aine is eloquent, so she should be able to introduce her friend well.

"If Xiao Aiyin were here, it would be much easier to explain..." Deng murmured.

"Is Ai-yin the classmate from earlier?" Su-shi guessed.

"Um……"

At this moment, Lixi also brought over the tea.

"Thank you, Lixi~"

Although she had just mentally complained about Li Xi, Su Shi still maintained a good attitude towards him.

"By the way, Deng and Lixi, have you heard anything about Xiaoxiang's recent situation?" Su Shi's smile turned into one of concern.

"No."

Lixi answered quickly, and just as he was about to leave, the lamp spoke.

"Yes, in the class next to mine..."

"Oh, so you're at Yuqiu." Su Shi said, looking at Deng's school uniform.

She fiddled with the tips of her fingers, thinking that her luck was indeed good today.

Even though he couldn't get a clue out of someone who had grown up with Xiao Xiang, he stumbled upon a light on a whim and found out where Xiangzi was.

In that case, there's no need to inquire about the location of the other person who looks very much like Xiangzi.

We now have information about the current situations of the members of Crychic.

Next, let's try to go back to the way things were before.

Before this, Su Shi still wanted to subtly criticize someone during this afternoon tea time without affecting her image.

"Speaking of which, Xiaodeng, I did meet someone in the high school who looks a lot like Xiangzi."

"only……"

Su Shi took a sip of tea, and just as she was about to complain, she was interrupted by Deng's excited words.

"Is that Chizuru?!"

"Huh? Does Xiaodeng also know Toyohashi Chinatsu?" Su Shi asked, a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

"Um! I...uh..."

The lamp has a series of things it wants to express, as well as some things it wants to keep hidden in its heart, but it doesn't know how to start speaking.

"Xiao Deng, don't panic," Su Shi said, gesturing with one hand to reassure her. "I know you have a lot to say, take your time."

Chapter 30 A Plan Comes to Mind

Stopping her original plan to criticize China, Suze maintained a relaxed atmosphere and started asking about China.

Although she no longer wanted to have anything to do with China, China now knew Akari, so she had to show China friendliness first.

She said that she met China in the brass band club, but China suddenly disappeared and deleted her from her friends list, which made her very worried.

Akari said that China hadn't talked much about the past.

"Ha, why would she want to bring up the past? It's all too painful for her to recall." Su Shi thought to herself.

Afterwards, Su Shi, maintaining a gentle demeanor and tone, inquired and learned some information about the angle of the light.

Deng first said that she met Chinatsu, who had just come to the school for an interview, a few days ago because of their shared interests.

It was around that time that I met Aine, a friend of China's. The two of them had also gotten to know each other through music.

Then today, Aine transferred to Akari's class, and Chinatsu transferred to Shoko's class... Chinatsu used to call Shoko "older sister".

To Akari, both Aine and Chinatsu are very gentle people.

Upon hearing this, Su Shi chuckled softly, her lips pursed.

"Su Shi..."

"It's alright, Xiaodeng." Su Shi quickly regained her natural smile.

Friend... Even with such a terrible personality, could she have any other friends besides me?

No, I'm not her friend anymore!

As for China calling Xiangzi "sister," Su Shi probably thought China was just joking.

She knew all too well how stupid and outrageous things this guy would do when he got too excited.

When Qiannai was calm, she made it clear to Su Shi that she did not know Xiangzi.

I've also said, don't treat her like Xiangzi.

You are not worthy of being her.

After getting a general idea of ​​what happened, Su Shi brought up the topic back to about ten minutes earlier, when the light was chasing after Aine, wanting to know what had happened before that.

And this is precisely what the lamp most wants to say.
