The lady can hear my voice

She felt the most guilty when facing Deng. After all... she fell in love with the person she liked, and she also messed up the band she valued the most...

I really don't have that face...

"She's an old acquaintance of yours, a girl with blue hair and twin pigtails."

Shiina Riki was stunned.

"Xiangzi?"

-

Toyokawa Shoko came to the restaurant designated by Hachiman Kailing alone. After successfully finding a seat, she unexpectedly met not only Hachiman Kailing, but also Shiina Tatsuki.

The last time I met Tatsuki Shiina was probably when I knocked over their cake.

"Long time no see, Li Xi, how are you feeling recently?" Toyokawa Shoko resumed her gentle demeanor.

Shiina Riki: “…It’s OK.”

Hachiman Kailin: "Please take a seat, Toyokawa-san."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded and went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Hachiman-san, last time I invited you as a personal friend, but this time... I want to invite you to join our band as Sora's friend."

"You've performed on stage with him many times before... You've also told him before that you long for a real band..."

Hachiman Kairin interrupted Toyokawa Shoko.

"I can join, but the prerequisite is... let Li Xi go to meet him."

Toyokawa Shoko: “Huh?”

Shiina Riki: “Huh?”

-

Asking for a monthly ticket!

163 Li Xi is so cute

"Hai Ling!" Shiina Riki showed an anxious expression.

Hachiman Kailing: "Don't you want to go see him?"

Shiina Riki: “…”

"But... joining a band is something you need to consider carefully... you..."

Hachiman Kailing: "I had originally planned to join, I was just waiting for this opportunity."

"Eh?"

Hachiman Kailin speaks so bluntly that it's a bit difficult for Shiina Riki to handle.

Normally, shouldn't we be a little more sentimental at this moment?

However, Toyokawa Shoko did not follow their wishes.

"I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter."

Shiina Riki frowned slightly as he looked at Toyokawa Shoko's slightly tough attitude.

"Where...is he now?"

I also had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.

He didn't contact her during this period. To be honest, Shiina Riki felt relieved.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit strange.

He didn't seem like someone who couldn't do anything. He always cared so much about their band, so there was no reason for him to disappear at this time.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is completely disappointed in us...

Toyokawa Shoko: "Yawata-san, today we are here to talk about the band..."

Shiina Riki bit her lip and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask myself."

So he took out his cell phone and found the chat interface of Sora Niijima... He quickly typed a sentence, but in the end he hesitated for a long time before sending it.

(Where are you?)

……

Watching Shiina Ritsuki leave in a hurry, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Hachiman Kailing.

"Hachiman-san...next time we meet, you'd better tell me in advance if there are other people present."

Hachiman Kailing observed the change in Toyokawa Shoko's attitude and nodded, "I see. Then let's continue with what you said about the commercial band."

-

Shiina Riki took the train and successfully arrived at the hospital where Niijima Sora was.

She also held a bouquet of flowers and a bag of fruit in her hands.

Because she didn't know what to bring when visiting a patient, she even checked online.

Finally, I bought these based on the store clerk's advice...

"It's so expensive..." Shiina Riki couldn't help but complain.

She doesn't have much pocket money, and her daily expenses on food, clothing, and other necessities are always lower than the average for ordinary JKs.

It’s not that the family has no money, it’s just that she doesn’t spend much.

The skirt she is wearing now was also bought for her by Maki at the beginning of this year, and it is the first time she is wearing it.

I arrived at the hospital lobby and gave my name.

Shiina Riki waited nervously.

Soon afterwards, a girl with long light green hair walked out.

Wakaba Mu glanced at Shiina Riki and nodded to her: "Thank you for coming to visit him, he is now on the bench outside the garden..."

Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment, "Then these things..."

Ruoye Mu: "I'll put it away for you first, you can go out and look for him."

Shiina Ritsugi looked at Wakaba Mutsu's delicate body. Although there was not much difference in height between them, Ritsugi still felt uneasy about letting her hold it.

So I took it to the ward and put it away myself.

Ruoye Mu felt very weird when watching her series of actions.

I didn't expect that Shiina Riki also has a caring side.

He is completely different from before.

"Mu, has anyone else come to visit him?" Shiina Riki took a look at the various bandages on the bed and the pile of sheets placed in front of the bed, and his mood sank slightly.

Wakaba Mu shook his head: "Except for Saki and me, no one else... has been here."

Soyo was simply ignored by her.

Shiina Riki: "What an idiot."

Are you not contacting us because you are injured?

Fool.

Just as Shiina Riki was about to walk out the door, she saw Wakaba Mu wanted to stay here to clean up the ward instead of going out with her to meet Niijima Sora.

"Mu? You... aren't you coming with me?"

Ruoye Mu shook his head and continued doing his own thing.

Ever since that day with Soyo, Ruoye Mu could feel that there was some gap between himself and Niijima Sora.

The voice of one’s heart…is rarely heard.

I always feel that our daily communication has become a little distant.

The wooden man tried hard and made some attempts, but ultimately failed, which caused her progress to go back a bit, and she ultimately remained in a state of neither progress nor deterioration.

At least now, she knew she couldn't act on her own.

Or should I just observe quietly, and then help him when he needs me... This is the only way to return to the way things were before, right?

Shiina Riki didn't say anything. He calmed himself down and walked into the courtyard outside.

There are lush green plants everywhere, the summer sun is shining, and the air is fresh and quiet. It is obviously much cooler here than outside.

It is indeed a very good recuperation environment.

Walk two steps forward and you can see the boy sitting on the bench with his eyes closed basking in the sun.

When I got closer, I could see that one of his arms was still bandaged, but there was nothing on his legs.

The two crutches placed beside him were enough to show that his mobility was not very convenient.

“…” Shiina Riki felt a little relieved when he saw that he was not as miserable as he had imagined.

But even so, the eyes will still be slightly red.

Niijima Sora heard footsteps, so he opened his eyes, and then saw Shiina Tatsuki who was about to drop pearls.

"Lixi?"

Shiina Riki pursed her lips, walked towards him boldly, and then sat down.

This time, I didn't play those pretentious tricks of keeping a distance from him, but just stuck to his side directly.

"How did you get hurt? What happened?" Shiina Riki sniffed and asked softly.

Niijima Sora immediately smelled the fragrance on Lixi's body, which was something he had never smelled before.

Li Xi used perfume?

And it smells like rose...

"I guess... I had a minor car accident, but I've recovered very well now. In another half a month, I'll be able to move around normally, probably by the end of August."

Shiina Riki: "Car accident...?!"

She turned her head instantly and looked at Sora Niijima with concern, followed by even deeper guilt.

"I'm sorry... I don't know anything... and I didn't come to ask you..."

Listening to the soft voice of Shiina Riki, Niijima Sora almost lost himself.

Who is this?

[Is this really Li Xi? This is... too cute, isn't it? ]

When Shiina Riki heard his inner praise, her face turned slightly red, but she slowly thought of what to say.

"Sora, I'm really sorry about the last performance. If I hadn't made a mistake at the beginning, it wouldn't have turned out like that..."

Sora Niijima sighed, "It's not your fault. Too many accidents happened that day. If Roselia hadn't come out before you and put enough pressure on you, you would definitely have performed well."

Shiina Riki was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Niijima Sora with complicated eyes: "Regarding this... the organizers have apologized to us in a serious manner, and they also deleted the part of our performance from the video they recorded that day."

"An official announcement was also issued to clarify that there was a problem with the equipment."

Sora Niijima: “Is there such a thing…”

Shiina Riki: "Well... Anyway, you spent so much time and effort on us, but... I didn't do a good job of the most basic performance. I'm sorry."

Sora Niijima: “…”

[Although I should comfort Li Xi at this time, but she apologized sincerely and softened completely... She really looks like a supermodel...]

Tachibana Shiina: Supermodel?

Although he didn't understand what this meant, Li Xi roughly understood that he was praising himself.

Shiina Riki was a little immersed in this atmosphere. She hadn't seen him for a long time.

It’s rare for us to meet each other nowadays, and I found that… communication is not as difficult as I imagined.

Because he never criticizes himself, he only encourages, helps and gives.

What if... no one else in the band dislikes him, except me?
