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

Chu Hua is fine, she and Chen Qi are currently just a couple who are destined to break up...

But other people... Even though Xiangzi had no right to stop anyone from pursuing Chen Qi, she still instinctively resisted such a thing from happening, and didn't want even the slightest misunderstanding to happen in front of her.

"Yes, really?"

The uncle was also startled by Xiangzi's particularly serious attitude. After nodding hesitantly, the talkative uncle couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chen Qi. He quickly adjusted his attitude and asked cheerfully:

"I'm sorry, young man. I think I misunderstood. This girl is your girlfriend, right?"

Chen Qi: "Ah... Although I don't want to spoil your fun, but actually they are not my girlfriends."

Faced with such a sweet misunderstanding, Chen Qi was able to handle it with ease - in the past, when Crychic had not yet disbanded, Chen Qi and Xiangzi had been mistaken for a couple by the store clerks more than once, and every time, compared to the thin-skinned Xiangzi, Chen Qi was the one who took the initiative to explain for Xiangzi.

However, Chen Qi’s explanation at the time was actually very pale. After all, even Chen Qi himself believed that the way he and Xiangzi got along at that time was actually no different from being in a relationship.

Don't be surprised. Chen Qi is of course self-aware. He wouldn't be so blinded by his own feelings after experiencing Bai Xiangzi's beauty and the hardships of her drastic changes in life together with Xiangzi, watching this originally silly, innocent and sweet girl, little by little, walk out of collapse and despair, gradually become independent and strong.

Chen Qi admitted that he was certainly moved by Xiangzi at first - otherwise, he would not have tried so hard to help Xiangzi overcome the difficulties and finally accepted Mrs. Toyokawa's dying entrustment.

Chen Qi also believed that Xiangzi must know this.

However, at the beginning, their time together did not shorten at all because of this, but instead they became closer. It can be said that although the two were shy at the time and neither of them had formally confessed their love to each other, they both knew tacitly that they had already started dating each other.

Therefore, Chen Qi used to be afraid that others would not understand and could give a general, pale explanation (a disguised acknowledgement) of his relationship with Xiangzi.

But now... Chen Qi can no longer do that.

He and Xiangzi have "broken up" for a long time, and now he is inextricably linked with his sister, Aine, and Mu. Although this decision makes him somewhat melancholy, this relationship between him and Xiangzi will probably have no further development, right?

However, for Chen Qi, it was already a good result that they could still sit together like this and get along like friends, instead of being awkward or hostile to each other like some ex-boyfriends and girlfriends did when they met in real life.

Chen Qi also sorted out his mood, maintained his gentle attitude and said: "We are just friends, uncle, I am sorry to disappoint you."

"Really? This is a bit unexpected." The uncle also touched his head, seeming a little surprised that he had made a mistake, but he still apologized cheerfully:

"I'm sorry to bother you. How about this? I'll give you a homemade dish as an apology."

"Thank you very much." Chen Qi's eyes sparkled. A few words in exchange for a side dish. Although it was gone in a few bites, it was a huge profit in Japan!

However, just when Chen Qi was still feeling lucky that Xiangzi and Liang had one more side dish to eat, Liang, who had already finished his curry rice, paused with the spoon in his hand after hearing the conversation between the uncle and Chen Qi, but asked nonchalantly without even raising his head:

"I'm a little curious."

"Why do you think, uncle, that Qi and I are a couple? Is there anything about Qi and I that looks like a couple?"

"Isn't this natural?" However, in response to Liang's casual question, the uncle scooped out the buckwheat noodles and answered in a relaxed tone:

"Generally speaking, a boy who would take the initiative to pay a girl is either her brother or her boyfriend, right? And you, young lady, don't look alike at all, so you are definitely not brother and sister."

"...Anything else?" After a moment's silence, Liang seemed to be attracted by the uncle's answer. He finally raised his head and showed some interest.

"Well..."

However, the uncle, who had suffered a loss once, inadvertently cast his gaze towards Xiangzi on the other side. After noticing that the blue-haired girl's eyes were a little more serious when she looked at him, the uncle quickly swallowed his words and changed the subject with a smile on his face.

Transfer group々^:¤‰⑵§⑨＜泤零4３★⒌≯，⑹４"Here, your soba noodles, and a complimentary side dish!"

cold:"……"

Was I too impatient? However, there seemed to be someone who was even more impatient than I was.

Liang knew that her actions just now were a little over the line. Although she couldn't see the expression of Toyokawa Shoko on the other side because Chen Qi's body blocked her view, she could imagine that Shoko's expression at this moment must not be very pleasant.

Although strictly speaking, Ryo and Shoko had not met each other many times, Ryo had learned a lot about Toyokawa Shoko through his own channels.

Even the past between Xiangzi and Chen Qi, which they did not mention to everyone after they ended the band, Liang had already learned about it in his own way.

All of this has directly led to the fact that the current Ryo's attitude towards Shoko is completely different from when they first met. The current Ryo can be said to be genuinely disliking Toyokawa Shoko at all.

In particular, from the moment Chen Qi and the others came in, Toyokawa Shoko's few words and her behavior showed that she still hadn't given up on Chen Qi, but she hadn't confessed her past actions to Chen Qi, which made Liang feel a bit contemptuous of Shoko.

However, Liang controlled her emotions very well. She did not say anything offensive or sarcastic to Xiangzi, because she knew that Xiangzi's position in Chen Qi's heart was indeed extraordinary.

Even if I have a problem with Xiangzi, I can't do anything to her in front of Chen Qi, unless Chen Qi is not around...

"Bang." Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, the door of the cafe was pushed open again. This time, before the uncle at the bar could react, the sunny girl with a side ponytail who hurried into the store immediately locked her eyes on Liang.

"Ryo, the train was delayed for a while, so we're a little late - eh? Qi, and Toyokawa-san, why are you here too?" ⑨

Chen Qi: "It looks like, Liang, your savior has finally arrived."

Chen Qi also noticed Hong Xia who had just arrived. Looking at Hong Xia who was holding a wallet in her hand and obviously rushed to save Liang, Chen Qi's expression became softer. He waved at Hong Xia and said with a smile:

"Hongxia, I'm so sorry to have made you come here for nothing. I've already redeemed Liang in advance. After Liang finishes this bowl of soba noodles, you can take him back."

Hong Xia: "Ah, it's okay - wait! Liang! You actually spent Qi's money? And ate so much?!"

However, Hong Xia, who had been very friendly and gentle to Chen Qi, took a quick glance and quickly noticed the empty plate of curry rice and the large bowl of soba noodles that Liang had not yet eaten. Her tone immediately became sharp.

Liang immediately noticed the unfriendly look in his friend's eyes. After shrinking his head slightly, which was rare, he whispered cautiously:

"I didn't eat much..."

"We ordered almost all the dishes on the menu, for a total of 17,000 yen." However, Xiangzi, who had long been dissatisfied with Liang's behavior of not treating him as an outsider and taking advantage of Chen Qi, also made a light comment at the right time.

As expected, with Xiangzi's help, Hongxia's expression, which was originally just a complaint, could no longer control her emotions, and she was about to grab Liang and beat her up.

Of course, Hong Xia couldn't really beat him up. She would just pretend to do so and then hit her "improper" bassist on the head a few times.

But no one knew whether Hongxia had some kind of natural suppressive power over Liang. As soon as Hongxia raised her arm and reached out to grab Liang, Liang, who had a calm expression, quickly fled from her original position, avoiding Hongxia's capture.

However, Hongxia did not come back empty-handed, because at this moment, a pair of exceptionally large and warm hands gently grasped her wrists.

"Hongxia, don't be angry with Liang. After all, Liang has been hungry for several days. It's understandable that he can't help but come for a meal, right?"

"Don't believe Liang's lies! Qi! Liang has used this excuse several times!"

However, Hong Xia, whose wrist was caught by Chen Qi, was stunned for a moment, and with her cheeks slightly red, she could no longer exert any strength. But even so, Hong Xia did not forget to blame Chen Qi, accusing him of the crimes she had committed in the band during this period.

"Ryo has so much pocket money every month, but he still has to borrow money from everyone in the band to eat. Kita-chan and Pochi-chan, no one has escaped Ryo's clutches!"

"Besides, Ryo didn't just borrow money for food, she even asked Pochi-chan to borrow money for drinks and ice cream! I will definitely not let Ryo off today!"

"...Hongxia, how cruel! You actually want to deprive me of my last bit of happiness."

At this time, Liang, who had allowed Chen Qi to help her stop Hong Xia, carefully poked her head out from behind Chen Qi. Knowing that pretending to be pitiful was useless in front of Hong Xia, she turned her big watery eyes to Chen Qi and said pitifully:

"Qi, you are still good to me. Hongxia watched me eat grass and was indifferent. She also forced all of us to train every day. It's really too much."

Hong Xia: "It's obviously Liang who brought this upon herself! Qi, please don't feel sorry for Liang, let me teach her a lesson."

"——Then how about this." Facing Hong Xia, who was indignant but not really angry, Chen Qi did not let Hong Xia teach Liang a lesson. After all, Liang had just eaten not long ago and was still full. If Liang kept hiding from Hong Xia's pursuit, it would be bad for his health.

Therefore, Chen Qi chose to appease Hong Xia's emotions, and then he thought of a good idea and took the initiative to suggest: 肿ZuＡＮｑUｎ：㈨４ba洱：∝娰」san¤…馓∴霖五

"From now on, I will bring a lunch box for Liang during the band practice days. This way, Liang won't have to go hungry at noon."

"Qi, you don't have to..." However, Xiangzi, who was standing by, couldn't help but want to say something when he heard that Chen Qi had paid for Liang's meal but was preparing a lunch box for Liang without asking for anything in return...

But just before Xiangzi spoke, Liang, who was behind Chen Qi, interrupted Xiangzi's words at the right time and replied in a calm tone:

"If that's the case... Qi, you have to come to band practice every day."

"Qi, you haven't come to [Fanxing] in the past few days. If you continue to be so busy for a while, I might starve to death in [Fanxing] while waiting for you to feed me."

Chen Qi nodded somewhat embarrassedly and replied solemnly: "...Sorry, I have been quite busy recently. I will try my best not to be absent again."

Liang's sudden torture made Chen Qi a little overwhelmed. Since he and Chu Hua became "temporary lovers" in the past two days, Chen Qi really had no time to care about ending the band.

Liang... Is this a disguised reminder for me not to put too much experience into things outside of the band?

No, although Liang is a little cunning, he is not the kind of person who would say such things. Everyone who ended the band is quite understanding of his difficulties. Maybe I am just thinking too much.

"Qi, don't pamper Liang so much!" Facing Chen Qi who compromised for Liang again, Hong Xia felt a little emotional... This good friend of hers really fell in love with a boy who knows how to pamper others.

However, even though Hong Xia had already guessed what Liang might think of Chen Qi, she knew Liang's character too well, so she pouted in dissatisfaction with Chen Qi's favoritism towards Liang, and said with a bit of complaint in her tone:

"If you spoil Liang, Qi, and Liang takes advantage of your weakness to ride on your head in the future, I won't help Qi, okay?"

"How could that be? Okay, okay, Hongxia, calm down." Chen Qi shook his head with a dumb smile. He had not participated in the activities for a few days. Looking at Hongxia, who was full of resentment and had not vented it, and the audience around her who were looking at her because of their movements, Chen Qi immediately reacted.

Chen Qi took Hong Xia's hand and walked towards the door of the store.

"If Hongxia has anything to complain about, just tell me. I will listen to you carefully."

Hong Xia: "Not much has happened...most of it is about Liang, Qi, listen to me..."

My hand was suddenly held...

Although Hongxia also reacted, and compared to other girls, she was also instinctively a little shy, but she still frankly accepted this intimate gesture, and then turned to Chen Qi with a normal expression and accused him of all Liang's "crimes".

Why only talk about Liang? Because Hong Xia was also helping her friend. Ever since she knew that Liang might like Chen Qi, she had been trying her best to tell Chen Qi all of Liang's strengths and weaknesses, and even her personality.

Hong Xia didn't want to overly embellish her friend in front of Chen Qi, otherwise, once Liang's true nature was exposed, it might have the opposite effect.

Hong Xia just wanted to tell Chen Qi what the coldness in her eyes really looked like.

After all, from a girl's perspective, the mysterious and cold Liang does not seem like a good character to be captured. Hong Xia wants to be Chen Qi's "capture expert" and give Chen Qi as many reminders as possible to help him understand Liang's cuteness better and faster.

Although Liang has some minor flaws, such as being greedy, taking advantage of others, not showing many expressions, and not actively making friends with others, Hong Xia believes that Chen Qi cannot possibly not like such a cute girl like Liang.

——After all, Toyokawa-san and Ryo seem to be the same type of girl. If Qi liked Toyokawa-san, there is no reason why she wouldn't like Ryo.

As for holding hands... after all, they are good friends in the same band, so this kind of thing is normal, isn't it?

As long as Liang doesn't misunderstand anything, it's okay to be a little closer, right? ⒐

After a while, Chen Qi and Hong Xia left the coffee shop hand in hand, and soon, all the passers-by who were watching the excitement turned their attention back to the things at hand.

At the bar, only Liang and Xiangzi were left. They looked at each other in bewilderment and lowered their heads again without saying a word.

"——Thank you for the hospitality."

Toyokawa Shoko had no mood to eat at all. Faced with the half portion of curry rice left, she no longer had the appetite to continue eating. After struggling to count out five hundred yen coins from her pocket, she decided to get up and leave.

But just when Xiangzi left the chair, the cold voice coming from the side once again stopped Xiangzi.

"Aren't you going to pack it up? Fengchuan-san, there's a large portion of curry rice left. If you heat it up when you get home, it can at least be used as a midnight snack or lunch, right?"

"Besides, Qi has already paid for your share, right? Why do you still want to pay out of your own pocket? Don't you want to accept Qi's kindness?"

Xiangzi: "...I'm sorry, Senior Yamada, I'm a self-reliant person. I can't be so frank and even accept all of Chen Qi's kindness without any psychological burden."

However, in response to Liang's question, Xiangzi, who already disliked Liang, couldn't help but add a bit of harsh indifference to her words. It was unclear whether she was indignant at Chen Qi's excessive tolerance, or simply unhappy with Chen Qi's previous preference for Liang.

"I also hope that Senior Yamada can be more considerate of Chen Qi's feelings and not abuse Chen Qi's kindness and goodwill."

Liang: "Oh? That's really interesting."

However, facing Xiangzi's somewhat sarcastic words, Liang was not angry at all. She seemed to take Xiangzi's words as a joke. She looked at Xiangzi's back with a smile, and said the words in the most calm tone that caused the greatest harm to Xiangzi's heart.

"If that's the case, it's hard to believe that Toyokawa-san would say this."

"Mr. Fengchuan, who kicked away Chen Qi, who had taken care of you and your mother for so long, from what perspective can you remind me to be more considerate of Qi's feelings?"

Toyokawa Shoko: “!!!”

Suddenly, the plain words from Liang made Xiangzi's brain go into a state of shutdown for a moment. He turned his head away with a pale face, looking at Liang, whose face was normal, but there was a glimmer in his bottomless eyes. He asked in disbelief:

"You, how did you know..."

"Wait, your last name is Yamada?" Suddenly, Xiangzi guessed the answer from Liang's last name.

Liang also had no intention of hiding anything. After nodding in acquiescence, he answered word by word:

"...It's accidental. Or maybe it's fate."

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Yamada Ryo. My family runs a private hospital in Tokyo. And in the files of my hospital, there is a record of a lady with the same last name 'Toyokawa' who was hospitalized a year ago."

"And my father is your mother's attending physician."

"So, I know everything about you and Chen Qi."

In the most calm tone, Yamada Ryo also said the answer that Xiangzi was most afraid of and the one that he least wanted to see come true. At this moment, Liangna looked at the search▲▲search¨※ｑ群∧☆：⑨四仈佴※∈似＞>三〈￥３０五 Xiangzi, and could no longer hide her cold and hostile eyes. She only said in a cold tone:

“So, I am qualified to say this.”

"——Toyokawa-san, what you did back then was truly a jerk."

Chapter 1:

Chapter 127 Chapter 126: Liang: Can't make up your mind? I'll help you break up with Chen Qi

At the bar counter, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, slightly dilated with fear, were trembling as she stared at Yamada Ryo, who was continuing to eat soba noodles in front of her as if nothing had happened, as if the words filled with hidden sarcasm and contempt just a moment ago did not come from Ryo's mouth.

But Xiangzi would not regard those words just now as his illusion.

Yamada Ryo knows everything about his and Chen Qi's past, and this is the second thing Xiangzi doesn't want others to know.
