They are in the music show, but I am a stranger to them

Although Aqi doesn't know the content of the bet, if Dengjiang and Aine gradually become distant from Aqi, then Aqi will definitely be very sad, right? They are the people Aqi cares about the most...

If they lose, and Dengjiang and the others can't even comfort Aqi, then the only person left around Aqi who can comfort him, besides Xiaomu, is -

②“Crash.”

Suddenly, thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo almost subconsciously sat up from the bed. But at that moment, the sound of the door opening came slowly from the direction of the living room.

⒋Su Shi knew that Chen Qi was back.

Su Shi was frightened by the thoughts in her mind, so the moment Chen Qi came back, she immediately lay back on her bed. After hurriedly covering herself with the quilt, she lay on her side on the bed holding her breath, not daring to move at all.

Thinking that, Su Shi felt that the footsteps were getting closer and closer to his room——

⒊ “Click.”

㈤Finally, the door opened and Su Shi fell into a complete state of stillness.

⒍ "…Is she asleep already? I wonder if Su Shi has had dinner yet, but we should not wake her up, right?"

⒋No, without you here, I can’t eat any dinner. Now I’m hungry.

Listening to Chen Qi's mumbling beside her, Su Shi closed her eyes, but she couldn't help but feel at ease again. She had been unable to sleep all night, but just by hearing his voice, she felt her body gradually relax.

And the next second, just when Su Shi thought that Chen Qi had left, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands getting closer and closer to her... and immediately grabbed the soft silk quilt covering her.

"You have to cover yourself with the quilt... Su Shi's sleeping posture is really bad. This is the first time I know this."

"Goodnight then, Sushi."

Chen Qi tidied the quilt for Su Shi and quietly left Su Shi's boudoir after saying "good night". However, he didn't know that the moment he left, Su Shi, who had originally closed her eyes, immediately widened her eyes because of his small action just now.

And the moment Su Shi opened her eyes, suddenly, she made a decision in her heart - a decision that she believed would never be wrong.

She...as expected, still couldn't bear to let Aqi leave.

Since Aqi is in the band, Dengjiang and Xiaoxiang alone should not be able to win... Even if they try their best, how can they possibly beat Aqi?

Well, if I lose, if I lose despite trying my best—

Then, I can naturally let Aqi stay, and I won't have to feel any guilt about it in my heart!

However, just as this thought emerged in Nagasaki Suyo's mind, at the same time, in Takamatsu's house, which was quite a distance away from Suyo's house, Takamatsu Deng's room was also suddenly dark, leaving only a small table lamp for Takamatsu Deng to use for lighting.

At this time, Deng had already received the music score from Xiangzi and Lixi. However, facing this song, Gao Song Deng was hesitant to write down even a line of lyrics...

"Lixi... Is this the song that Lixi wanted to give to her brother?"

"It's very powerful and has strong emotions. Does this mean that the lyrics I write must also be what I want to say to my brother, an unreserved expression of my feelings?"

"But, what I want to express to my brother, what I want to say to him, is..."

What can I say to my brother? How do I want to face him now that I have abandoned my identity as a younger sister?

For a moment, Takamatsu Deng, who was in a long state of confusion, just wrote down words such as "world", "God", "life", "salvation", "empathy" and so on in a notebook beside him, but he was unable to put them together into a complete lyric.

Gao Songdeng felt that her thoughts seemed to be restricted by something... Her emotions were like an active volcano about to erupt. She tried hard to make the volcano erupt, but it was always stuck at the critical point and could not move forward at all.

All this seems to be more difficult than imagined.

"What do I want to be? Who do I want to be to Qi? Only in this way can I win him back, save him..."

Perhaps, I will get the answer only after listening to my brother's new song. Takamatsu Deng, who was stuck in a bottleneck, also quietly made his own decision, betting everything on the fate connected with his brother.

Volume 92: Chapter Chapter : Performance in the rain, Chuhua's assistance

"Boom!"

A week later, Chen Qi and the four girls who were ready to finish the band arrived at "RiNG" early. In the studio, the company's staff had already helped them set up the equipment so that they could start the performance at any time.

However, Chen Qi and the other girls were not in a relaxed mood, but rather felt a little solemn... It was not because their practice this week had not gone smoothly and they were worried that their performance would not be good, but there was another reason.

The date for the performance that Chen Qi had set was unexpectedly not good. When Chen Qi and Mu went out together, they found that the sky was gloomy and the humid air was enough to make a person's mood become bad. Chen Qi had already anticipated that the situation was not good.

As expected, as soon as Chen Qi and others stepped into "RiNG", heavy rain soaked everything in front of them. Accompanied by lightning and strong winds, it became bad weather that every passerby tried to avoid.

This is undoubtedly the biggest bad news for Chen Qi and the band's subsequent performances.

"It suddenly rained so hard even though the typhoon season is over. This is terrible."

In the lounge backstage, Hong Xia was looking at the warning message about heavy rain on her mobile phone, as well as the news that the rain might continue until the evening. She could no longer maintain the cheerful smile on her face, and could not help but mutter to herself in sorrow.

"Several of my friends who bought tickets also said they couldn't come... Everyone said they wouldn't refund their tickets, but the same can't be said for other ticketed audiences."

Kitaro was also staring at his mobile phone anxiously. Even though he was the absolute star of the band, Kitaro was unable to use his good popularity to convince his friends to overcome the difficulties of the storm and come to the scene.

Goto Ichiri: "Then, doesn't that mean, Senpai, you might not be able to meet the target for this Live?"

Goto's emotions were unexpectedly a bit volatile this time. Although she had always had a rich psychological life and usually gave people a startled feeling, today's Pochi-chan was obviously different from usual.

Xiao Gudu is really looking forward to performing on the same stage with Chen Qi this time.

Ever since Hong Xia and Liang announced to everyone a week ago that Chen Qi had officially joined the band, Xiao Gudu's emotions have been very high. Because the thing she dared not talk about and dreamed of actually happened! She really stood with the idol she admired!

So, during this week, Xiao Gudu's training was more focused than ever before. He even temporarily put aside his job of singing and playing online. He just hoped that he could impress Chen Qi in this live performance and show his true strength as a "guitar hero"!

After all, Xiao Gudu knew very well that this time, the people who were going to compete with the band's former band members were Chen Qi's former band members.

Although I don't have much contact with them, in my heart... I also respect them because they always order me around? ← Transfer group. ∮:∧±９4粑♂↑㈡☆☆⑷ˉ…⑶3↑０Wu's seniors, and also made my seniors tired. These things made me dislike them a little, but Xiao Gudu didn't think that the band that could once form a team with Chen Qi would be worse than the ending band.

Although Kita-san is proficient at playing the guitar now, he is still not that good. The drummer of the opposite band must be no worse than Hong Xia...

Then, the only ones who could possibly widen the gap with the opposing band are Senior Liang and myself!

Therefore, in this live, Pochi-chan was determined to overcome her social fear and show her full strength. But she didn't expect that her determination was shaken by her fear, but was hit by the sudden disaster of the weather.

Compared to the blow he suffered, Xiao Gu Du was now more worried about Chen Qi's mentality...

Because she knew that Chen Qi's live performance was carefully arranged for him to talk to his former bandmates. Bochi-chan also knew that Chen Qi would only feel relieved if he spoke to the right person.

Now, this sudden heavy rain not only affected Chen Qi's indicators, but Bochi was more worried that this heavy rain would force Takamatsu Deng and her members to postpone their performances, and thus they would not be able to come to the scene to listen to Chen Qi's song.

If something like that happened, Pochi-chan couldn't imagine how depressed Chen Qi would be...

"Well, um, where's Liang? And Chen Qi-senpai and Mu-san, they seem to have been out for a long time."

"Liang said she was going to accompany Qi, and Mu-chan went to the door to wait for someone." Hongxia also sighed slowly. She originally wanted to go with them, but when she thought that Kita and Pochi-chan still needed her to calm their emotions, she chose to stay.

But, Hong Xia was also worried that the performance would not be held normally, or that Chen Qi would not be able to tell Gao Songdeng and the others what was in his heart.

If that's the case, even if Chen Qi really joined the End Band as she wished, she would probably still be depressed, right?

Hong Xia...no longer wanted to see Chen Qi showing that fragile look that made her heart ache.

I had promised Chen Qi before that the band would become his safe haven. If I saw Chen Qi looking sad after the band ended, wouldn’t it mean that I had failed to keep my promise?

Chen Qi, however, used everything he could give to help them. To make Chen Qi no longer sad was the only way Hong Xia could repay Chen Qi for his efforts.

Otherwise, what is the difference between myself, everyone who ended the band, and Chen Qi’s “former band members” who always ordered him around and burdened him?

……

"The twelfth one... it's still not enough."

In a row of seats not far from the entrance of "RiNG", Chen Qi, Hemu, and Liang who came with them were sitting not far from the staff responsible for checking tickets, waiting for the arrival of the most critical members.

Opposite the three of them, the one who was counting the number of spectators who had arrived so far on his fingers was the first "key member" that Chen Qi had been waiting for, Miao Mengqin, who had arrived in a taxi in the heavy rain.

But Miao Mengqin, who arrived right after Chen Qi and the others, was even more nervous than Chen Qi himself. Looking at Chen Qi, who was sitting quietly between Mu and Liang, with a calm expression that did not make Miao Mengqin feel sad, Miao Mengqin pursed his lips, forced a smile, clasped his hands together and said to Chen Qi:

"Don't worry too much. Daily update group: ￡⑧, ≈⑤◇～⑦⌒※⑥∞⑥%★③④④②Oh, Xiaoqi~ Leave this to me, Sister Miaomeng. There will definitely be no problem!"

"My account has nearly 400,000 fans. If I send a message saying that I'm at 'RiNG' now, all the fans who arrive at the first time can meet me offline. A mere 100 people is still easy~"

"——Sister Miao Meng, your account has 300,000 followers, not 300,000 Tokyo residents." After hearing Miao Meng's comforting words, Chen Qi, who had originally relaxed his mind and body, had to give a timely answer. He stopped Miao Meng's behavior the second before she sent the message.

"Besides, if your fans knew that you were at the livehouse, and asked them to come in the heavy rain just to watch our performance, it might create a bad reputation for you. The lead singer this time is not Kita, but me."

"But..." Miao Meng seemed to want to say something, but Chen Qi stopped her from speaking again. Chen Qi, who was originally comforted by Miao Meng, now comforted Miao Meng:

"Don't worry, the most important thing for me is the lights. As long as they can come, it will be meaningful for me to hold this show."

"pray……"

Beside Chen Qi, Mu seemed to have sensed the uneasiness in the heart of Chen Qi who was trying to show off. His heart was trembling slightly and he couldn't help but reach out his hand and for the first time took the initiative to hold Chen Qi's warm and large palm.

Chen Qi was startled a little when he was suddenly held by Mu's slightly cool little hand. When he turned his head and saw the faint concern on Mu's face, his heart warmed and he grasped Mu's hand with a little force.

Feeling Chen Qi's response, Mu's heart trembled a little, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. He suddenly felt warm and proud.

What happened to me? I clearly wanted to comfort Qi, so why did I start to seek warmth from him?

"——Why don't we go and perform on the street in the heavy rain?"

At this time, Liang on the side also watched the interaction between Chen Qi, Mu and Miao Meng calmly, but there was no emotion on Liang's face. Instead, he told Chen Qi his plan.

However, Liang's words immediately attracted the gazes of "Are you kidding me?" from Miao Meng and Mu, but Liang's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he looked very serious and said calmly:

"I'll perform at the entrance of 'RiNG' and turn up the speakers to the maximum. I'll use my bass solo to attract everyone. I'll also put up a sign behind me saying 'Free shelter and hot water', which should attract quite a few people."

Chen Qi: "Don't make Rin Rinzi's (RiNG's leader) job more difficult... And Ryo, are you sure your bass can be louder than the heavy rain outside?"

"No, so this is also a Bess joke." Liang silently raised a thumbs up, told Chen Qi a joke with a cold face, and adjusted the atmosphere.

But it is obvious that Liang's efforts did not work, and could not change the fact that in the heavy rain, the live tickets that were originally sold out with the help of Chuhua are now estimated to have been refunded in large numbers.

Optimistically speaking, if there were fifty people willing to come to the scene, it would already be a reflection of Chen Qi's previously accumulated popularity and the strong effect of Chu Hua's publicity, but it could not change Chen Qi's fate of losing money on the live show.

Looks like... I have to ask Miao Mengqin again, or Su Shi to help me out.

Chen Qi received the share of the first debut performance, but most of it was sent by Chen Qi to thank [sumimi] for their help. Adding to the expenses during this period, Chen Qi didn't have much money left. If he had to pay RiNG another sum of money, he would be really penniless.

However, just when Chen Qi was at a loss, suddenly, the automatic sensor door of "RiNG" opened again, and the staff who had been a little bored instantly regained their professional smiles and immediately stood up and greeted:

"Welcome, may I ask you--eh? Miss Triangle?"

"Triangle?"

However, this unique surname also attracted the attention of Chen Qi and others almost immediately. Soon, Sanjiao Chuhua, who was wearing a rather fashionable outfit but whose clothes were soaked, shook her wet golden hair and gave Chen Qi a warm smile:

"Senior, long time no see. I'm glad you didn't cancel the performance."

"Chuhua? Why are you here?"

Chen Qi also did not expect that Chu Hua would appear here. After all, Chu Hua should be preparing for a performance in half a month. Even the matter of the new song was coordinated between her agent and Chen Qi. It can be seen how busy Chu Hua is.

Especially Chu Hua's current posture, as if she was running in the heavy rain, and seemed very anxious? But I should have handed the new song to her agent some time ago.

"How can I miss the live show that Senior has put on with so much effort?"

Jiu Er Chuhua also took out a handkerchief and wiped the rain off her face gracefully even though she was soaked. She smiled calmly at Chen Qi and said:

⒋ “Senior, you seem to be in trouble too. I’ve had the same experience when the weather was extremely bad during the live show.”

０ "Yeah, when I think about the fact that I'm about to lose money to do a Live show, I feel really weird." Chen Qi looked at Chu Hua's relaxed smile, and the depression in his heart was slightly relieved. A warm smile appeared on his face again, and he smiled softly at Chu Hua:

4. "However, thank you for taking the time to come and see my performance, Chuhua. I will do my best to give you a performance that will not disappoint you."

3 "I have never been disappointed by the performances of my predecessors." Chu Hua also smiled, but for some reason, Chu Hua's smile soon widened a little. Facing Chen Qi's slightly puzzled eyes, Chu Hua also changed the subject and said immediately:

⒌ "However, please tell me the words of thanks later, Senior."

㈥"Ah, look, senior, the audience has arrived!"

④ And when Chu Hua suddenly turned around and pointed, not far away, Chen Qi, Mu and Liang all saw through the glass door a large group of pedestrians holding umbrellas of various colors, getting off a bus not far away. Soon, the first audience member walking in the front stepped into "RiNG".

"Welcome, are you here to watch the show?"

Audience A: "Yes! This is my ticket, please check it!"

Audience B: "Ah, how lucky! I didn't expect the organizers to be so considerate this time. They knew it was a rainy day and sent buses to pick us up from different areas. We can also listen to the popular idols' performances on the bus for free!"

Audience C: "Yeah, I was still wondering whether to refund the ticket. Fortunately, I haven't made a decision yet!"

"That is……"

On the other side, Chen Qi and others, who had retreated to a blind spot in time before the arrival of the audience, also cast their surprised eyes behind them at Chu Hua, who was still smiling, after hearing the whispers of several audience members.

Chen Qi certainly didn't have the funds to send buses to various districts in Tokyo to pick up audiences, and it was impossible for his agency to arrange such a considerate treatment for a newly debuted artist.

Then there is no doubt that Chu Hua is the only one left, and he may do such a thankless task.

"——After all, it was my senior's performance, and Xiao Xiang also asked me for help, so I asked my agent to arrange it for me."

In order to make Chen Qi more receptive to his help, Chu Hua still insisted on his lie. Facing Chen Qi's glittering eyes, Chu Hua's gaze was rarely evasive, and he whispered softly:
