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

Li Xi couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have the heart to think about these things at the moment. Just the fact that Deng was pursuing Chen Qi was enough to make her feel upset.

However, Li Xi did not foolishly go to find Yao Lenai alone. She knew that Yao Lenai did not have a good impression of them, so this time, she also made a special trip to find her good friend Hai Ling and went to [SPACE] with her.

"Think about it." Hailing was on her way here and had heard Lixi talk about what happened between Yao Lenai and them, so she also chimed in and said to Yao Lenai:

"Although Li Xi did have some conflicts with Chen Qi before, and Deng and the others...did do some bad things to Chen Qi, but now they have tried their best to make up for it."

"For Chen Qi now, what he hopes to see is that the band he follows can get on the right track. If Lenai is willing to join, it can be regarded as helping Chen Qi realize a wish."

Hailing believed that this trick would definitely work, because she heard from Lixi that when Lenai knew that Chen Qi’s collapse was related to them, her first reaction was to drive them out of [SPACE], which shows how important Chen Qi is in Lenai’s heart.

The main reason she came this time was to serve as a substitute for her friend who was not very good at speaking, so as to prevent Li Xi from saying something inappropriate and making Le Nai disgusted.

After all, when Crychic disbanded and she saw Lixi breaking down and crying in the rain, she had always thought that Lixi and Chen Qi didn't have a very good relationship...

Soon after Li Xi invited Yao Lenai, the white-haired, heterochromatic-eyed cat girl did not refuse immediately. Instead, she glanced at Hai Ling and Li Xi several times before she said in a calm tone:

"These words... weren't said by Qi, right?"

"Huh?" And Le Nai's sudden words also caught Hai Ling and Li Xi off guard. Le Nai shook his head and continued:

⑻ "Qi will not force me to fulfill his wish, Qi will not say such a thing."

⑸Yao Lenai’s words also made Hai Ling, who thought her rhetoric was impeccable, feel a little embarrassed. She seemed to... underestimate how well this girl knew Chen Qi.

⒎ Hailing: "…These words are indeed our own wishes, but Chen Qi did recommend Yao Lenai to us."

⑹Just as Hai Ling started to explain, a smile appeared on Kaname's originally calm face, and he continued to speak softly to the two people in front of him:

㈥"But... in that live performance, when Deng and Qi sang together, I felt that Deng was a very interesting woman."

san "But, apart from the lights, you're all pretty boring."

４ "So, if you want to join the band, there are conditions."

Although Le Nai is good at acting like a spoiled child and asking Chen Qi for snacks and favors, and although Chen Qi has never had any intention of imposing anything on Le Nai, Le Nai has always been helping Chen Qi solve his problems in her own way.

Because to Yao Le Nai, Chen Qi is the best person to her besides her grandmother.

Although Le Nai didn't like Li Xi and others who hurt Chen Qi before, after witnessing that live show, she also saw the efforts made by Deng to win back Chen Qi. In Le Nai's heart, she has basically forgiven Deng.

However, Le Na did not forgive Li Xi, Su Shi, Aine, and Xiangzi who played almost no role on the stage before Chen Qi came on stage.

So, this time, Lenai made an unprecedented request to join the team, a principle she would never compromise on.

"What is it?" Li Xi saw that Yao Lenai showed signs of giving in, and her face, which had originally thought there was no hope, now showed a bit of seriousness.

However, the next moment, accompanied by a slight smile from Yao Lenai, the white cat girl made a request that stunned Li Xi.

"Lixi, tell me all the reasons why Crychic disbanded."

"Also, including Li Xi, anyone who has hurt Qi in the past must apologize to Qi in front of me and Qi for what happened in the past."

"As long as Qi forgives you, I will join the band."

Li Xi: “Huh?!”

This time, Shiina Riki's cry of disbelief was louder than any other time before. However, in addition to disbelief, there was also a bit of horror and astonishment on his expression.

Apologize to that guy?! How could I possibly do that!

But this time, before Li Xi could react, Hai Ling's eyes lit up slightly after hearing Lenai's request, as if Lenai had hit upon something in her heart.

So, Hai Ling immediately pushed the embarrassed Li Xi back to his seat, and looked into the heterochromatic eyes of Kaname Lenai calmly, and asked word by word:

"Kaname-kun, are you sure you can join the band as long as you meet these two conditions?"

But this time, Yao Lenai did not answer. Instead, she yawned lazily and immediately put her little face on the counter, looking very bored.

And Le Nai's attitude is very clear. If you are not talking about serious matters, then she is not interested in listening.

When facing Yao Le Nai, Li Xi's delicate cheeks turned red with shame, and when faced with the two requests made by Yao Le Nai, she couldn't utter a word.

Hailing naturally noticed the change in Lixi's expression. Although she wanted to help Lixi, seeing her friend's attitude, Hailing knew that Lixi would definitely not be able to tell her what he had done to Chen Qi.

Even if Hai Ling wanted to reveal some information to Lenai, she definitely couldn't do it now, and certainly not in front of Li Xi.

"We'll get back to you later."

Having said that, Hailing took the initiative to pull Lixi beside her, and the two of them left [SPACE] together.

Perhaps because he couldn't see Kaname Rina, Shiina Riki's originally bad expression quickly regained its composure, but after a while, under Hailing's gaze, Riki's expression became a little more gloomy.

"Is it so hard to talk about it?"

After the disbandment of Crychic, Hailing learned from Lixi, who had a rare emotional breakdown, how she and Chen Qi maintained their wonderful relationship. Therefore, she did not think that the requests raised by Lenai were excessive.

Rather, the request made by Lenai was what Hailing had always hoped Lixi would take the initiative to do.

Hai Ling: "Anyway, you and Chen Qi used to have such a good relationship, and now you have him back, so you can have a good talk about the past and eliminate the barriers between you. It will be good for both of you."

As she spoke, Hai Ling saw that Li Xi still had hesitation on his face, so she immediately grasped the key point and said calmly:

"Anyway, Lixi, you also thought about confessing your feelings to him at the beginning, right? Wouldn't it be good to take this opportunity to completely confirm your relationship with him?"

Li Xi: “…”

However, Hailing thought that her words would definitely cause an extremely strong reaction given Lixi's personality.

But she never expected that Li Xi in front of her had no reaction at all, and the sadness in his eyes was even greater than before.

Seeing Li Xi like this, Hai Ling also vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Li Xi calmly:

"What's wrong? Did anything happen between you and Chen Qi?"

"Don't tell me that you don't like him anymore. There are only two of us here, and no one else will know."

Based on Hai Ling's understanding of Li Xi, if she really didn't like Chen Qi anymore, her attitude towards Chen Qi would definitely be extremely cold, and she would always grimace when they met. Why would she go to so much trouble to get him back?

But now, Li Xi's attitude was beyond Hai Ling's expectations... Did she miss something extremely important again?

“…Even if that happened, what does it matter?”

However, in front of Hai Ling, it took Shiina Riki a long time to calm himself down. With a sigh, he almost couldn't help but look sour.

"He already has someone pursuing him, and she's his stepsister... With his personality, how could he possibly do something that would let his sister down?"

"……I see."

Although Hailing was surprised by Lixi's words at first, she quickly accepted the reality.

Although it was a little hard to believe, Hai Ling thought about it and felt that this was the only reason that could make someone as strong-willed as Li Xi not even have the mind to resist and immediately choose to give up.

"But even if that's the case, there's no conflict between this matter and your reconciliation with Chen Qi, right?" Hai Ling asked again.

How could Li Xi not know this? However, although he could express his true feelings to Hai Ling, once the target became Chen Qi, Li Xi found it particularly difficult to speak.

On the day when Crychic disbanded, Li Xi knew clearly that she had said the wrong things to Chen Qi, and she also understood that her words had caused great harm to Chen Qi at that time, but she has not apologized to Chen Qi for what happened in the past until now.

It is clear that the two of them used to talk about almost everything, and I could tell him all my complaints and grievances. ９√【④㈧②㈣〕”參♂∥㈢→凌焐中＄”转｀QUｎ:.

But now that Chen Qi has someone pursuing her, Li Xi feels that...the life she had in the past is gone forever.

She could no longer maintain that ambiguous relationship with Chen Qi that only the two of them knew about.

What's more, there was no way she could compete with the lamp.

But Li Xi opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He lowered his head and said sullenly:

"Nothing, I just... don't know what to say to him if I see him again."

Hailing: “…Then I understand.”

Yes, Hailing understood. After all, Lixi was still entangled in the fact that Chen Qi was pursued by Deng. She couldn't express her feelings because her relationship with Chen Qi could basically no longer be restored to the past.

So, if they wanted to reconcile the two, they could either force Li Xi to apologize to Chen Qi or they could not. But the consequence of doing so was that it would be even more difficult for Li Xi to look Chen Qi in the face in the future.

The second possibility...

Gao Songdeng is just pursuing Chen Qi. Hailing also quickly grasped the key point in Li Xi's words, and she didn't think that Li Xi would not know the difference between "dating" and "pursuing", especially when it involved someone she already had a crush on.

As long as you are still in the stage of pursuit, there is still hope for everything to turn around.

But, Gao Songdeng... she is really a tricky person. Li Xi is right, she is someone Chen Qi will never let down.

But even so, Hai Ling still stood by Li Xi's side without hesitation. She was not scared off by the situation. Instead, she was thinking about how likely it was that Chen Qi would accept Li Xi.

As she thought about it, Hai Ling's eyes unconsciously turned to Li Xi again...

Yes, if Chen Qi really could not control himself for a while and lost his judgment and agreed to Li Xi's pursuit, then the only change could only be his good friend who would lose his mind and speak without restraint once his emotions exploded.

Although this characteristic of Li Xi caused her to cause very difficult to reverse damage to Chen Qi, as long as the situation allowed, her outspokenness was also a huge advantage.

As long as Li Xi can open his heart completely to Chen Qi, Hai Ling will have a certain degree of confidence in making Li Xi completely keep the person she has always wanted but is too ashamed to admit.

……

On the other side, at the same time, Chen Qi, who was worried about by Hai Ling, had just walked out of a clinic with Sanjiao Chuhua.

In order to prevent many unnecessary things from being secretly photographed, this time, Chen Qi and Chu Hua covered themselves tightly. Chu Hua even borrowed a mask, sunglasses and travel hat from Chen Qi.

Although their outfits were equally eye-catching on the street, there was really nothing that could be done. After all, once people saw them as a man and a woman walking on the street, as long as one of them was recognized, based on the current reputation on the Internet, [sumimi]'s fans would naturally think of who the other one was.

Especially Chen Qi's height, which stands out among the crowd in Japan, is really too rare. But Chu Hua is now weak, and Chen Qi has to accompany her, so the two of them have to be on high alert.

“Do you feel better?” Chen Qi asked with concern while helping Chu Hua press the wound where the IV drip was, and gently supporting Chu Hua’s still slightly shaky body.

Chu Hua: "I'm much better now... Thank you, senior."

Not only her body, Chu Hua now feels much better in her mood. Because during the few hours she was on IV drip, Chen Qi stayed by her side almost every step of the way, taking care of her meticulously.

Chen Qi knew that Chu Hua was an idol and it was not appropriate for him to accompany her to a crowded hospital, so he found a private clinic and reserved a single room for Chu Hua to see the doctor.

Although Chu Hua's agent also does these things, Chu Hua feels that Chen Qi and his agent give her completely different feelings when doing the same thing.

While Chu Hua felt warm in his heart, he looked at Chen Qi who had been running around for him all day. He was moved, but he was also thinking about whether he should take some action to help Chen Qi relax his body and mind after a busy day.

Soon, Chu Hua thought of a method that she thought was good, and immediately asked Chen Qi with a more expectant tone:

"Senior, are you interested in stargazing?"

"I heard that there's a new observatory that's opened recently, and the lighting in the observatory is very dim, so probably no one will recognize us - Ouch!"

However, before Chu Hua could finish his words, Chen Qi unhappily pressed the wound of the IV with his finger. Now that Chu Hua felt less uncomfortable and could feel the pain, he couldn't help but call out softly.

After a while, facing Chu Hua's aggrieved and puzzled look, which he could sense even through his sunglasses, Chen Qi shook his head with a smile, and reminded him in a more serious tone:

Jiu "Chuhua, you are an idol. Have you forgotten to be careful about your words and actions? I am accompanying you now, and you are taking a big risk. You are actually willing to go to a conspicuous place with me?"

"If something goes wrong, I can still handle it, but your career will be ruined, so don't take any risks, okay? Otherwise, I won't dare to come out and accompany you next time."

8 “…I see.”

⑵Although it was Chen Qi's warning, Chu Hua couldn't get angry after listening to Chen Qi's advice that always considered him. He just smiled faintly under the cover of sunglasses and mask.

４For some reason, even the wound from the IV drip doesn’t hurt that much anymore…

Umbrella "Chuhua...Senior Chen Qi?"

At this moment, a sudden call made Chuhua and Chen Qi stop in their tracks. As they watched, they saw a man wearing sunglasses approaching them with a surprised look on his face. He quickly came to Chuhua's side and asked worriedly:

０ "Chuhua? Aren't you sick? Why did you run out? And why would Senior——"

5. "Shh, Mana, don't let anyone else hear it."

However, facing Mana who forgot to hide her emotions because of surprise, Chuhua and Chen Qi reached out their hands almost at the same time and covered Mana's mouth immediately.

However, at the moment when their palms overlapped, Chu Hua quickly withdrew his palm as if he had received an electric shock. It was unknown whether it was because of embarrassment or because it was the first time that he had touched the palm of a man of similar age...

Although Chen Qi was a little embarrassed, he waited until Mana completely calmed down before withdrawing his hand and whispered to Mana in a low voice:

"Mana, I knew Chuhua was sick, and I came to take care of her because there was no one around her. Don't think too much about it. If other people hear about it, it will be a different story."

Mana: “Yeah, yeah, I get it!”

Although Junda Mana was a little naive, she was obviously a smart girl. She understood everything immediately and nodded quickly. She also made a cute gesture of closing her mouth to show that she would keep her mouth shut.

After seeing Mana, Chuhua felt a little better, but still asked curiously:

"Mana, aren't you busy with your agent and everyone at [Sumimi]? I remember it was a notice from the agency..."

"I'm done! After the meeting, I immediately bought some comfort supplies and medicine and came to see Chuhua." Mana said as she raised the bag in her hand, but did not immediately convey the content of the meeting at the agency to Chuhua.

毕竟……今天经纪公司找她们商谈的事情，源自于前段时间初华对陈8←】5%76？<63【4)×42澆￡∴硫QuＮ：祈自发的帮助，引得网络上出现了一些攻击初华的言论。

[sumimi] is a popular idol band after all, but it is completely taboo for idols to have too many affairs with the opposite sex. Once an idol's image collapses, no matter how strong the management is, it will not be able to stop the loss of fans.

In order to stop this situation and prevent the loss of fans of the popular idol band [Sumimi], the management company has reminded everyone this time.
