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

"I never liked you, Light, not for a moment."

"...Is it because of my brother?" After getting the answer he expected, Gao Songdeng's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to ask Mu:

"Mu, do you like your brother too? So you hate me?"

"——I am different from you." However, Deng's words made Mu frown. Mu, who didn't want to be compared with Deng at all, replied in a cold tone:

"I won't hurt the person I hold most dear, Deng, but you keep doing this."

"You cherish Qi by locking him firmly by your side, so that there is no one else in his eyes except you?"

4. "No!" Mu's words immediately touched the unspeakable pain in Gao Songdeng's heart. After Gao Songdeng's body shook violently, he couldn't help but retorted in a slightly loud voice.

Dad, "What's not?" But Mu was still aggressive, and said coldly to the lamp in front of him:

"In the final analysis, Deng, your behavior is just selfish. Have you ever thought about Qi for a moment? Have you ever thought about what Qi hopes to get?"

"I will never like you, Deng, and I will never forgive you for what you did, even if you are Qi's sister."

As soon as San Ermu finished speaking, Gao Songdeng's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he subconsciously grabbed his aching chest and fell into a long silence.

However, after an unknown amount of time, Deng carefully raised his head again and said cautiously to Mu, who had an expressionless face in front of him:

Lin: "...But, my brother and I are inseparable."

"I can understand that you don't like me, but, in front of my brother, can we still get along like friends?"

Mu: “…Yeah.”

Mu didn't care. It wouldn't be long anyway, and she would separate Qi and Gao Songdeng completely.

However, Mu also had to consider his relationship with Deng in the past few days. At least, Mu didn't want Chen Qi to think that he forced Chen Qi to separate from Deng because he didn't like Deng.

Just when Mu was thinking about how to get along with Deng, suddenly, Chihaya Aine rushed out from the kitchen. Before she could even say hello to Mu and Deng, she ran towards the room on the second floor.

“…Aine-chan? What’s wrong?”

However, Deng had no idea what was going on with Ain's abnormal behavior today. But Mu, who was standing by, noticed Ain's blushing face as she ran away...

Unconsciously, Mu turned his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the kitchen. However, due to the angle, he happened to see Chen Qi stroking the corner of his mouth with a dull expression...

At this point, even Mu had realized what had just happened between Chihaya Aine and Chen Qi in the kitchen.

One Takamatsu Touma is not enough, Chihaya Aine... is also one of them?

For a moment, Mu, who had learned the truth, did not realize that her hands were grabbing the hem of her skirt with a little force, causing a few wrinkles on the rather high-end plaid skirt.

...It seems that it is not enough to just drive Gao Songdeng away. I must take Chen Qi away from this devil's den.

Otherwise, if Qi continued to stay in this place... he might have been eaten up by these two women without leaving anything!

I will not sit idly by and watch them monopolize everything that belongs to me. I absolutely cannot do that.

Chapter 103 Chapter 102: Chen Qi's confession to Li Xi, Chu Hua's unexpected incident?

"Too slow!"

When Chen Qi brought Mu He Deng to the agreed "RiNG" coffee shop, Shiina Riki, with legs crossed, was already waiting here.

Li Xi also subconsciously showed a little joy after seeing Chen Qi, but he immediately concealed his expression, pretended to be indifferent, and immediately reprimanded Chen Qi.

There was no other way. Li Xi could only lose his temper with Chen Qi without any explanation.

In Li Xi's impression, only Chen Qi would understand his rebuke, and it was not hurtful words.

As expected, Chen Qi, who was already familiar with Li Xi's character, shrugged indifferently in the face of Li Xi's rebuke, and sat down at a seat not too close to Li Xi.

However, Mu Hedeng's expressions were different when facing Li Xi's rebuke.

"Lixi...it's not my brother's fault. It was me who delayed the peacemaking process a little. Don't blame me."

"...Qi, take me to buy some food." Mu, holding a half-eaten sandwich in his hand, looked at Li Xi with a bit of hostility in his eyes, but he suppressed his emotions and spoke lightly.

Mu had nothing good to say about Shiina Riki, and she had no good feelings towards Riki, a person who hurt Chen Qi with words without knowing the truth.

If one were to make a list of people that Mu hates, the first one would be Toyokawa Shoko, who broke up with Chen Qi, who had helped her so much, without saying anything. She was also someone that Mu had already broken off relations with.

The second place is Takamatsu Tomori, who wants to restrain his brother forever; the third place is undoubtedly Shiina Tatsuki, who is ignorant of the truth and just speaks foul language.

But, Mu no longer cares about these things now.

"…By the way, where is Chihaya Aine?"

Li Xi, who was refuted by Deng Hemu, knew that Deng Hemu would not understand the way she and Chen Qi got along, so she restrained her attitude slightly, and after a glance, she also cast her gaze at Chen Qi and asked:

"Aren't you, Deng, and Mu all living in her house? Why didn't she come with you?"

Chen Qi: "...Ainyin wants to take a day off today. She said she's not feeling well."

Li Xi: "Huh?"

However, facing Chen Qi who was obviously trying to deal with him, Li Xi couldn't help but ask a question, but he didn't get any response from Chen Qi.

After all, Li Xi couldn't figure out what could have happened between Chihaya Aine, who could ride on Chen Qi and act like a spoiled child, and Chen Qi, to the point that she could come up with such a lame excuse and even let Chen Qi cover for her?

Wait, this isn't what she thought.

Li Xi suddenly thought of the possibility that someone would have to take a leave due to physical discomfort, and his face immediately turned red. ⑵

But this time, Li Xi unexpectedly dismissed his wrong idea before he opened his mouth.

Although Chihaya Aine was very close to this guy, she didn't have the guts to do such a thing. Besides, Chen Qi was being supervised by Mu and Deng. If such a thing really happened, their reactions would probably be more intense than hers.

Li Xi, who had figured this out, looked at Chen Qi's eyes, which showed no guilt or remorse, and felt relieved. He covered his head and said with a headache:

"How can this be a band... That guy said he wasn't feeling well, and Su Shi also told me so. So now it seems that Deng and I are the only ones left in the band?"

"Huh? Is Su Shi sick too?" Chen Qi blinked in surprise when he heard Li Xi's sigh, but Li Xi waved his hand and replied unhappily:

"That guy is lying. I guess she was just lazy and didn't want to get up today. This kind of thing happened before. It doesn't matter." 4

"But now that Xiangzi has quit after our collaboration, our band is still short of one person... We have to add a new member to the band."

What is giving Li Xi the biggest headache right now is the band she promised Chen Qi to keep going.

Although the band has practiced quite a lot so far, Mu's departure has made the band incomplete again. Li Xi now has to start thinking about adding a new member to the band.

Thinking of this, Li Xi's eyes unconsciously turned to Chen Qi, and after a moment of daze, Chen Qi turned his eyes to Mu beside him, and tentatively said with a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"Mu? Are you willing to reconcile with Lixi and the others?"

Mu: "...I can't do it, Qi."

Mu was completely disillusioned with these past "friends" and she also quit the band. The reason she can still meet them now is because they had tried hard before to win back Qi with the song "Kimi no Kamisama".

Although not completely hopeless, Mu still has no intention of reconciling with them.

Ah, Su Shi is an exception. In Mu's heart, Su Shi is the only one who is truly innocent and is also his friend.

As expected, Mu refused. Chen Qi sighed slightly, turned his gaze to Li Xi again, and said helplessly:

"Well, Riki, I know another person who might be able to be won over. She's the granddaughter of the [SPACE] store manager, Kaname Rakuna."

"Yao Lenai?" When Lixi and Deng heard this name, the image of the white-haired cat who always cared about Chen Qi's affairs quickly emerged in their minds.

However, after looking at each other, Deng and Lixi both looked embarrassed...

After all, they still remembered that when they made the bet with the four people who ended the band, after Lenai found out that it was them who caused Chen Qi to faint, he didn't treat them at all well and even wanted to kick them out of [SPACE].

Now they are inviting Le Naijia to join the band... Isn't this asking for trouble?

"Well, Le Nai has a strong talent for guitar, and she is also quite familiar with me. I can go and say hello to her first and see what Le Nai is willing to do."

However, Chen Qike didn't know what happened between Lixi and the Ending Band. He just accelerated what would happen in the original book as usual and said to Lixi gently:

"However, whether or not Le Nai can stay depends on you, Li Xi."

"Although I know Lenai very well, as long as I ask Lenai, she will probably listen to me. But in this case, Lenai's own wishes will be completely ignored. So whether you can attract her to join the band still depends on your own ability."

"…What about you?"

However, Shiina Tachi hoped that Chen Qi would exclude himself from all three sentences, and suddenly asked:

"Aren't you one of us too? When you asked Lenai about her wishes, weren't you also representing us?"

Chen Qi: "Lixi... I have already joined the band. And your band's previous performance was also very good, right? You don't necessarily need me to interfere in your band affairs anymore, right?"

Your band...ah.

This guy, it seems like he is determined not to come back this time.

Of course, Shiina Riki could hear the implicit meaning behind Chen Qi's words, but she herself didn't know why... She had clearly made up her mind that she would no longer be in a band with this guy, or even reconcile with him.

However, this guy just appeared in front of her, and her determination was just like a joke. She had said many harsh words to him, but she could not utter a single word of these words.

The last live was the same... If this guy hadn't been pulled onto the stage by the lights, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to play that song. But as soon as he showed up, everyone's confidence was instantly restored.

Even if Li Xi was unwilling to admit defeat, he had to admit that Chen Qi's position in the hearts of everyone in the band was irreplaceable.

But now, he is unwilling to come back...

...Is it because of the bad words I said back then? Did he think I really hated him? But even if I didn't say those things, he should have understood what I meant, right?

Didn't we have such a good understanding between the two of us? Do we really need to talk about everything? He knew that what he was worst at was speaking his mind...

"..." However, looking at Li Xi, who seemed to have no emotional changes, but in fact had never heard the sound of his fingers tapping on the table from beginning to end, Chen Qi could roughly guess that Li Xi wanted to bring him back to MYGO.

However, the reason why Chen Qi did not join MYGO was certainly not just because of ending the band, but more because of the things between himself and Deng.

Although it seems that he only needs to deal with the issues between Aiyin, Deng and Mu, Chen Qi is also worried that if he joins MYGO, will there be any subtle changes in the relationship between Su Shi, Li Xi and himself...

After all, it is not impossible.

Su Shi probably already had a good impression of him, and Li Xi had a good relationship with him in the past. In addition, Hai Ling told him that Li Xi cried in the rain when Crychic disbanded. Chen Qi couldn't guarantee that something worse would not happen if he stayed in MYGO.

If he wanted to prevent such a thing from happening again, then all Chen Qi could do was to make a decisive decision.

"——Lixi, can you talk to me in private?"

"Hey? Wait! Don't pull me!"

However, before Shiina Riki could react, she felt her wrist being grabbed by Chen Qi, who pulled her towards the recording studio without saying anything.

Li Xi did not expect Chen Qi to do this. Her cheeks flushed a little, but she subconsciously turned her head to look at the lamp behind her, fearing that she would see any bad expression on the lamp's face.

Although Li Xi and Deng were not close friends before, she was now being led by the brother of the other person. If Deng misunderstood something, it would be difficult for her to get along with Deng in the future.

After all, Li Xi could see how much Deng depended on his elder brother.

Fortunately, Li Xi did not see any vigilance on Gao Songdeng's always dazed face. Instead, the look he cast at her was filled with a bit of inexplicable guilt... and calmness.

For some reason, Li Xi felt a little depressed after noticing Deng's look. She always felt that Deng's look made her more uneasy than his vigilance and hostility towards her.

What on earth does this guy Chen Qi want to talk to her about?

……

"Just here."

The two walked around the corner of the corridor, and after making sure that there was no one around, Li Xi shook off Chen Qi's hand with a slightly red face, but still pretended to be calm and asked Chen Qi:

"So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

"Before that, Lixi...I want to ask you something first."

Chen Qi looked at the arrogant girl in front of him who had a deep relationship with him and was like a bad friend to him. He also suppressed the softness in his heart and asked Li Xi in a low voice:

"What do you think of me? Are we just bad friends?"

Li Xi: “——!”

However, as soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Li Xi was stunned for a moment, but the moment his brain reacted, his cheeks suddenly turned red, as if the ripe chili peppers in the field, hot and dazzling.

The next moment, the first response to Chen Qi was not Li Xi's words, but Li Xi's ruthless kick on Chen Qi's calf.

"What are you thinking?! What do you think you are talking about? What do you mean by just a bad friend? We stopped being friends the day Crychic disbanded!"

"Don't think I forgive you now! I'm only doing this because you're willing to show up and contribute to the band. I'm not scolding you! Who told you that our relationship has returned to the way it was before?"

Especially, he asked her what she thought of him! How could he ask such a shameful question?

What does he want to do? Pursue her? Shiina Riki is not interested in dating someone like Chen Qi! This guy is just like her sister, a genius but not self-aware. This guy is even more worried than her sister. He is really a troublesome guy!
