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

In a panic, Xiangzi didn't even have time to hide. When facing Liang's calm and indifferent gaze, she lost her composure first. Her tone was unprecedentedly panicked, and she even explained in a humble manner:

"I, no, I'm not here to look for Chen Qi, I just want to celebrate the success of his and Chu Hua's performance, I'm not -"

"..." However, Liang silently looked at Xiangzi, who was panicking and couldn't even maintain the dignity and elegance of the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. His depressed mood, which had been caused by watching the performance of Chen Qi and Chu Hua, seemed to be relieved a little. ⒊

Did I push her too hard? For the first time, Liang felt a little sorry for Toyokawa Shoko.

"Um, Toyokawa-san, calm down a bit. We don't have anything to be afraid of, right?"

Hong Xia, who had no idea what happened between Liang and Xiangzi, also tried to calm Xiangzi down carefully.

However, before Hongxia could ask clearly why Xiangzi was here, a figure suddenly rushed out from the dim backstage, interrupting all the commotion here.

"Shiina-san?"

"Get out of my way!"

Xiangzi, whose cake box was almost knocked out of his hand, was also in a panic and looked blankly at the back of Shiina Riki who had escaped.

Behind Xiangzi, Aine and Takamatsu Deng followed closely behind. Xiangzi, who just reacted at this time, subconsciously grabbed the next figure that passed by him.

"Xiao Xiang?" Nagasaki Sushi, whose wrist was suddenly grabbed, also made a surprised sound unconsciously, but when she found that the person who grabbed her was Toyokawa Shoko, Sushi quickly put on an impatient expression and asked rather coldly:

"…Do you have anything you want to ask? I don't have much time."

"Nagasaki-san, what on earth happened to Shiina-san?"

Facing Su Shi, who was as patient and gentle to everyone as Chen Qi was in Crychic, and now hated him just as much, Xiangzi, whose heart was completely numb, also asked her with great pain:

"If you are backstage, you should be celebrating the success of Chen Qi's performance, right?"

"Why does Shiina-san look so sad? Is there any conflict between her and Chen Qi?"

However, when Xiangzi, who didn't know the truth, carefully asked Sushi about all this, Sushi, who was already upset because of all the changes today, frowned all of a sudden, stared at Xiangzi coldly and asked:

"…Are you serious? Are you asking this even though you already know the answer? Toyokawa Shoko-san."

"Ah?" Xiangzi looked a little bewildered, but this expression made Su Shi's impatience even more overflowing, and he answered word by word in a cold voice:

"This is all your fault, Toyokawa Shoko."

"If it weren't for you, none of this would have turned out like this."

If you hadn't wanted to quit Crychic, all this beauty would not have been destroyed, and Aqi's heart would not have been as broken as it is now.

People like Lixi and Deng... they would never realize that they also like Aqi just because of losing Aqi!

If it weren't for you... Sanjiao Chuhua and Aqi would never have known each other! And this wouldn't have happened!

This is all your fault! It's all because of you!

"I don't want to say anything more." Su Shi, who was almost gritting her teeth at Xiangzi because of all these changes, had no intention of continuing to entangle with her, and replied firmly:

"If you are waiting for Aqi here, I advise you to leave. Aqi doesn't want to see you right now, and he is not in the mood to see you."

"If you really want to, go and persuade Sanjiao Chuhua to stay away from Aqi and not push her too far."

"Chuhua?"

Hearing this name that made him uneasy again, Xiangzi was slightly dazed and watched as Su Shi held Kaname Rakuna's hand and hurried to catch up with the figure of Shiina Riki in front.

However, on the other side, Ruo Yemu, who had already understood something, took advantage of Xiangzi's moment of daze and stepped into the backstage as soon as possible.

"Pray?" Transfer group: ￠》⑼≥¨０＆§⑷ˉ（⑻↑⑷◆＂⑵<】⑼０⑸

Mu called out anxiously while pushing open the door of the lounge. However, the empty environment confirmed Mu's worst thoughts.

Sanjiao Chuhua! This malicious guy really took Qi away!

But they had been guarding the entrance and exit of the backstage, so how did she take Qi away quietly?

While Mu was thinking about this question, a staff member who noticed Mu's figure, after confirming that Mu was not the one who should be here, hurriedly came forward and said:

"Little girl? Did you go to the wrong place? This is a work area, non-staff members are not allowed to enter."

However, as soon as the staff member finished speaking, he met Mu's emotionless eyes. After being startled, he heard the girl in front of him ask in a calm voice like a puppet:

"…Apart from the entrance and exit, is there any other exit here?"

The staff member also answered subconsciously: "Hey? Yes, there is... There is a small door that is used by some big stars to avoid reporters' interviews - Hey? Little girl? Where are you going?"

Turning around, Ruoye Mu left the lounge and rushed back to the backstage entrance. She ran all the way without even having the chance to catch her breath, and replied coldly to Xiangzi outside the door:

"Xiang, Chuhua took Qi away."

"What—"

When Xiangzi heard this unexpected news, he just came back to his senses from Su Shi's words, and his expression became even more haggard. He turned his head subconsciously, but now, Mu did not comfort Xiangzi's mood, and immediately said:

"We have to find them quickly. If we go separately, things might get bad if we are a step late."②

"That's what none of us want to see, Xiang, you should understand, right?"⑷

At this point, if Xiangzi still doesn't understand what Mu said, then she is hopeless.

For a moment, Xiangzi forgot that he had no right to make decisions, and even forgot that Liang was right beside him. He nodded to Mu and immediately began to think about where Chen Qi and Chu Hua might go.

Now, it was fireworks time outside. If Chu Hua really wanted to confess to Chen Qi, the place she would most likely go to, which was also the closest place, should be - Lin

……⒌

"I fished it out! Qi! Come and help me!"

In the lively temple fair of the fireworks festival, Chen Qi and he were still wearing the yukatas they wore during the performance, but the funny masks bought from the street replaced the sunglasses and masks, becoming the most suitable disguise for them in this lively fireworks festival.

So, Chu Hua, who was originally an idol, finally let go and had some fun at the fireworks festival that she was not supposed to be able to attend.

Scooping goldfish, apple candies, hitting balloons, throwing rings...all the most primitive and ordinary entertainment activities seemed to exude extraordinary attraction in Chuhua's eyes at this time.

Especially, under the premise that the boy she loves most is always by her side.

"Ah~ I'm so happy, Qi, we really gained a lot today~"

"Yes." Chen Qi, who was also wearing a mask, was looking at Chu Hua who was gently holding one of his arms. Chu Hua's other hand was holding a transparent plastic bag filled with water. There were seven or eight small goldfish swimming around in it.

"But, Chuhua, are you planning to keep these goldfish? If so, you might need to buy a small fish tank."

"Then we can go buy it together now." Because of Chen Qi's words, Chu Hua soon had the next destination. He immediately took Chen Qi's hand and wanted to take him to continue moving forward in the temple fair.

Of course, Chu Hua walked so quickly because she actually had a small purpose... She wanted to get rid of the figure that had been following them.

Chu Hua thought it was just an illusion at first. But after walking with Chen Qi for so long and doing so many projects, the figure who was always wearing a kitten mask behind him, whenever he glanced at her, he could find her presence.

And there was no way Chu Hua could mistake that figure, that should be Miss Miao Meng, right?

She seems to be Qi's sworn sister, right? If she wanted to hang out with us, why didn't she come out? Instead, she chose to follow me and Qi?

Or did Miss Miao Meng see her feelings for Qi, but as her adopted sister, she didn't like her and Qi being together?

And the reason she followed them this time was because Miss Meow Meng guessed what she might do next, so she wanted to find a chance to stop her?

However, at this moment, a broadcast from the temple fair made Chu Hua stop unconsciously. After a busy tone, a soft female voice came from the radio:

"Dear tourists, the fireworks festival will officially begin in half an hour. We kindly suggest that tourists who have purchased seats to watch the fireworks festival go to the designated viewing area as soon as possible."

"...Qi, the fireworks festival is about to begin."

"Yeah." After listening to Chu Hua's whispers and accompanying Chu Hua for a walk, Chen Qi's mood improved a little. He smiled for the first time in a long time and said to Chu Hua with emotion:

"It's just that I didn't expect to be with you, Chuhua, today, and I couldn't reserve a good spot to enjoy the fireworks in advance..."

"——Then, if there is a good spot, Qi, would you be willing to go with me?"

Suddenly, Chu Hua beside him spoke with a hint of caution and excitement, which reached Chen Qi's ears without any warning, and made Chen Qi unconsciously look at the person beside him. At this time, Chu Hua, who was holding his hand, couldn't help but put a little more strength.

Because of the mask, Chen Qi could not see Chu Hua's expression at this moment, but he could see that pair of charming amethyst-like eyes, looking at him with a little expectation, and even a bit of an irritating and fragile gaze.

For a moment, as if because his heart missed a beat, Chen Qi forgot to refuse under Chu Hua's eyes and nodded subconsciously.

"——Then let's go."

"Huh? Wait."

However, Chen Qi, who was suddenly taken away by Chu Hua, although a little confused, still subconsciously followed Chu Hua and quickly shuttled through the crowd.

The sudden acceleration of the two people made Miao Meng, who had been following them silently, suddenly lose his composure.

"Wait! Sanjiao Chuhua! Where are you taking my Xiaoqi?!"

"Damn it, Meow Mengqin, I won't let you succeed! You are the guy who covets my Xiaoqi's fame and body!"

How could Miao Mengqin, who had been following the two silently since the performance, not guess what Chu Hua was thinking? She didn't confess to Xiao Qi on the stage at that time, and now she dragged Xiao Qi to the temple fair. She must be planning to confess to Xiao Qi in private when the fireworks were set off!

How could she let her have her wish? She couldn't just watch Xiao Qi fall into the trap of this malicious succubus!

However, Miao Mengqin also cheered himself up. After taking off the mask that blocked his vision, the first thing he wanted to do was to catch up with Chu Hua and Chen Qi - because Chen Qi's tall figure was very conspicuous, Miao Meng didn't have to worry about getting lost.

In the end, Miao Meng didn’t know how many corners she had turned. She only saw Chu Hua and Chen Qi’s figures suddenly passing under a tree. Chen Qi’s figure also completely disappeared from her sight because of the shade of the tree.

That's it! Miao Mengqin, who was already exhausted, squeezed out of the crowd with her last breath of strength. But when she saw the scene in front of her, she was completely dumbfounded.

In front of the tree, there was a long wooden chair, and on the bench was the bag of goldfish in Sanjiao Chuhua's hand.

As for her and Chen Qi, they had disappeared early.

"Damn it!"

For a moment, the angry Miao Mengqin couldn't help but burst out with a swear word, looking at the bag of goldfish on the bench, as if mocking her incompetence. Miao Mengqin almost awakened the vicious side of a cat and destroyed the whole bag of goldfish.

But at this moment, an equally anxious call from her side brought Miao Mengqin back to her senses.

"...Ms. Yutenji? Why are you here?"

"Ah? Xiangzi? You——"

For a moment, in the temple fair, when the frustrated Miao Mengqin looked at the sweaty and breathless Toyokawa Shoko and their eyes met, they quickly understood what she meant.

Their goal is the same, but now, they have little time to stop that from happening.

……

"Ha ha……"

"This is it, Qi!"

Chu Hua and Chen Qi, the lead singers, were much stronger in physical fitness and lung capacity than Miao Mengqin, the informal drummer. They went around a sparsely populated hillside, climbed the dilapidated bluestone steps, and reached the top of the mountain.

"This... is my secret base that I always come to during the fireworks festival." Chu Hua wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked at the quiet and empty surroundings, and unconsciously murmured to Chen Qi beside him with a smile:

"In the past, I couldn't play freely like everyone else, so I would always come here alone to look at the stars and fireworks..."⑤

"Qi, you are the first person...to accompany me here."⑦

"...Is that so?"

For a moment, Chen Qi felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, but he had no time to care about anything else. What he needed at this moment was a quiet place where he could forget all his worries.

The place that Chu Hua chose made Chen Qi feel relaxed.

There was no unnecessary noise, no intrigue, and no worries that made him hesitate.

He just needs to wait here for the fireworks to arrive...⑷

"...Pray."

At this moment, Sanjiao Chuhua had silently taken off the mask on her face, and her exquisite and perfect face unconsciously turned towards Chen Qi.

In a dim environment, Chen Qi could still see the moving emotion hidden in those amethyst eyes.

"Can I help you forget your troubles for a while?"

"...Of course, Chuhua."

Facing Chu Hua's cautious inquiry, Chen Qi, whose mind and body were already empty at this moment, nodded without hesitation and smiled: "Thank you for staying by my side when I needed you."

"I just did what Qi would do to me."

Chu Hua smiled faintly, but unconsciously took a step closer to Chen Qi. Her eyes were fixed on him, as if she was looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

After a while, under Chu Hua's aggressive pressure and driven by Chen Qi's uncontrollable and non-resisting body, the distance between the two had become so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

"...Qi. I have a small request, can you please agree to it?" Chu Hua stretched out his hand unconsciously and gently touched Chen Qi's cheeks.

"what?"

"...From now on, can you let me help you forget those troubles forever?"
