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

Sanjiao Chuhua's golden hair sparkled in the bright sunshine, but what attracted Chen Qi's attention even more was Chuhua's exquisite and perfect smile that was so close to him.

No matter how many times you look at it, it's amazing. Looking at Chu Hua's great face, Chen Qi even reviewed what he promised Chu Hua to confess last night. He felt that even if he was not in a fragile state, he seemed unable to withstand Chu Hua's charm.

After all, he is essentially a man. If he could remain indifferent to any temptation, he should be in the temple, not in the human world.

"It's already noon. Seriously, is this also caused by excessive blood loss? I'm starting to worry."

Although Chu Hua's tone was a little more angry, that smile released an almost unconcealable love... This also made Chen Qi, who had just made up his mind to have a harem yesterday, dare not look directly at Chu Hua's warm smile.

"…Are you the only one here? Chuhua?"

"Originally, everyone was here in the morning, but now I'm the only one left." Chu Hua also sat down gracefully beside Chen Qi and patiently answered every question of Chen Qi.

"After all... Qi, we are now officially dating, right?"

"Of course I can't let anyone else take care of my boyfriend~"

Chen Qi: “…”

Looking at that shy yet determined look made Chen Qi even more frightened.

This reminded him of the day when Deng awakened, and the persistence that frightened Chen Qi.

"Deng-chan, Xiaomu, and Lenai have all gone to school. I was planning to keep Meow Meng-senpai, but Meow Meng-senpai was too tired from keeping watch yesterday, so I asked her to go back first."

"What about you, Chuhua? Don't you have to go to school?" Chen Qi asked Chuhua, who was still a student.

However, Chu Hua unexpectedly smiled slyly and replied, "I am a professional idol. Although I am a 'former', I am still a star. The teacher can easily approve my request for leave~"

How come your Hanasakigawa’s leave request is easier to approve than that of a technical secondary school?

"Chu Hua, have you been awake for a day too?" After a night's sleep, Chen Qi, whose injuries felt much better, slowly sat up from the bed. Looking at the faint dark circles under Chu Hua's eyes, he felt a little distressed and said softly:

"Since I'm awake now, you should go home and rest early."

"My injury is not serious. I was able to move freely yesterday. And you know you are a celebrity, right? Even if we are dating, it will be troublesome if the nurses and doctors in the hospital take pictures of you and me together, okay?"

“—I’m not afraid.”

However, what reached Chen Qi's ears was Chu Hua's resounding response.

Chu Hua was seen leaning slightly towards Chen Qi, and soon, the distance between their cheeks returned to the point where they could hear each other's breathing.

And Chu Hua's cherry-colored lips, which were getting closer and closer, seemed to become extremely attractive in Chen Qi's eyes...

"As long as Qi is by my side, it doesn't matter what career I have."

"Wherever Qi is, that is my new home."

After saying that, Chen Qi felt the familiar cool touch from yesterday, gently imprinted on his lips again.

Chen Qi realized that he was wrong.

Chen Qi originally thought that Chu Hua and Deng were similar in only one point, that is, once they made up their minds, they would act without hesitation, and they adapted to their new identities at an astonishing speed.

But now, Chen Qi finally understood that Chuhua actually had a huge advantage over Deng.

She is a former professional idol and her mental quality is much stronger than the thin-skinned Deng.

Therefore, after her successful confession, she had almost no concerns about quickly getting closer to Chen Qi.

However, Chen Qi could also feel from this kiss and Chu Hua's slightly red cheeks that the love that Chu Hua had developed in her heart over these few short months was probably no less than that of any girl he was familiar with.

However, this also put Chen Qi in a huge dilemma. How should he start the conversation?

How should he tell this girl who loves him so much about the decision he made yesterday about the harem?

No, no, no, now is not the time to hesitate. Since I have made up my mind, I must take action, starting with my girlfriend Chuhua!

Thinking of this, Chen Qi's heart was also aroused. Facing Chu Hua, who kept teasing him and took the initiative from confession to intimacy, Chen Qi chose to respond to Chu Hua for the first time in his history when his mind was clear.

"Woo——"

Obviously, Chen Qi's response scared Chu Hua, and made Chu Hua's cheeks turn red all of a sudden, and the slightly tilted body became much softer in an instant.

I don’t know how many minutes it lasted, but in the end, with a silver thread breaking, Chu Hua’s embarrassed gasps, her cheeks reddening to the point of bleeding, announced the final result.

"Huh...huh..."

"Qi, you seem a little different today?"

Chu Hua gently fanned her hot cheeks with her palms. Although it was not the first time she kissed Chen Qi, it was definitely the first time that Chu Hua kissed so passionately. She still couldn't hide her shyness as a girl.

But Chu Hua still felt that Chen Qi today was different from the one he had confessed to yesterday...

"Is there any difference?" Chen Qi, who had won a small victory, felt a little amused when he saw Chu Hua, who was defeated and fled in disarray.

Chu Hua’s enthusiasm did catch him off guard at first, but after all, she was just like Deng, a virgin in her first love.

Although Chen Qi himself is also a virgin, his level is not low - at least, when it comes to kissing, he and Deng have rehearsed it many times.

Whenever he could fight back, no matter how active a thin-skinned girl like Deng was, she would never be his match.

Chu Hua suspiciously guessed: "Hmm... I don't know, but I always feel that Qi you seem to be released?"

Chu Hua knew that Chen Qi was a very emotional person. She could tell from his performance on stage and the passion he showed during the performance.

But Chu Hua could also see that Chen Qi knew how heavy his emotions were, so he usually suppressed them. In this respect, he was actually very similar to himself.

But this time, Chu Hua looked at Chen Qi in front of her, whose smile was more relaxed and calm than any other time, and whose passion in response was far beyond her imagination. Her amethyst eyes couldn't help but sparkle with a few sparkling gleams.

How to describe it? Today, Chen Qi seemed to be freed from his restraints?

"——Don't you like it, Chuhua?" After being slightly stunned, Chen Qi asked Chuhua jokingly, catching Chuhua off guard again.

"No." Chu Hua, with blushing cheeks, tried to get closer to Chen Qi again. The bright smile on her face could not be suppressed again, and she shyly whispered in Chen Qi's ear:

"I... like this kind of Qi."

After another soft confession, the next second, what Chu Hua never expected was that Chen Qi gently kissed her lips.

Chu Hua was caught off guard by the attack and this time he had no strength to resist. He collapsed directly on the bed. He could only accept this fantasy-like thing with a sweet heart, feeling embarrassed and happy.

Although it might be a bit delusional, it would be great if my confession could free Qi from the shackles in her heart.

If it is really because of my confession... then Qi, can you keep all your love for me alone?

Of course, Chu Hua knew very well in her heart that this might be difficult. First of all, she had to get past the hurdle of her childhood sweetheart whom she had once admired.

Precisely because she once regarded Xiangzi as the light in her heart, Chuhua knew very well what a powerful opponent she would face, so she was trying her best to quickly occupy the position in Chen Qi's heart.

But this time, she seemed to have miscalculated?

Chen Qi was more passionate than she had imagined! She seemed a little overwhelmed...

However, when Chu Hua was immersed in sweet happiness, she didn't know that Chen Qi, who was kissing her passionately, was thinking about something...

In this case, it should be considered as coaxing, right? Chen Qi looked at Chu Hua, who was completely limp in his arms, and felt that the time for him to confess to Chu Hua that he wanted to form a harem might have come.

If Chuhua doesn't accept, I will continue to kiss her until she agrees!

He is no longer the indecisive Chen Qi of the past. This time, he wants to evolve!

"Is Chen Qi here?"

"Well, he's right here... I won't go in. Deng and the others might still be in there. Hachiman-san, please give this to Chen Qi for me."

But just when Chen Qi made up his mind, suddenly, the voices of two girls outside the house made Chen Qi and Chu Hua, who were kissing passionately, freeze at the same time. Before they could even react, there was movement at the door of the ward.

"Click."

Hai Ling: "Chen Qi? I heard that you were injured. This is a solace gift for you—"

Soon, the door of the ward opened, and Hailing walked into the ward with a bunch of flowers in one hand and a bag of apples in the other.

Behind Hailing, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to leave, but was almost surprised by Hailing's silence! The figure who turned his head was also frozen in place because of the scene in front of him.

Chen Qi, Chu Hua: "..."

Xiangzi: “…”

Hailing: "Wow, so bold, I never thought you were such a wild person, Chuhua."

However, Hailing's tone was full of praise. After she came to her senses, Hailing focused her attention on Sanjiao Chuhua, her classmate and also her most social friend besides Lixi.

Is it her who made Lixi become so decadent now?

Meanwhile, Toyokawa Shoko was watching Chen Qi and Chu Hua, the two people she loved best and wanted to cherish the most, kissing each other. Her heart twitched violently, but she still forced herself to adjust her state and said with a bitter face:

"...Chu Hua, it seems that your relationship with Chen Qi is progressing very quickly."

……

"I see. I thought those were just rumors on the Internet, but I didn't expect that Sankaku-san is actually dating Qi."

After entering the ward, Hai Ling, who had also taken special leave to visit Chen Qi, put aside the apple she brought and the words sent by Xiangzi, and then sat down comfortably next to Chen Qi.

Chu Hua, because of the arrival of Xiangzi and Hailing, felt embarrassed to continue staying in Chen Qi's arms, so he stood obediently with Xiangzi, allowing Hailing, who had the safest relationship with Chen Qi, to sit closest to Chen Qi.

"I just confessed yesterday, and I accepted it."

Chen Qi, who was lying on the hospital bed, admitted this openly this time, and his open-mindedness also made Hai Ling stunned for a moment, and she murmured:

"It seems that you really do what you say, Qi. Do you really not care about Li Xi?"

Sorry, Hailing, I may have to break my promise to you this time. Now I am already a complete body.

Of course, although Chen Qi intended to reveal his harem plan, he knew that now was not the right time. If he told Hai Ling about this now, Hai Ling would probably never let Chen Qi have any contact with Shiina Riki.

Therefore, if Chen Qi wants to bypass Hailing, he must first conquer Lixi.

"No, Hailing, as long as Lixi is in trouble, I will definitely help her." Chen Qi first stated his position, and then asked Hailing who came to visit him specially this time:

"Besides, Hailing, you came here specially this time, it shouldn't be just to visit me, right? You came here for Li Xi, right?"

"That's right." Hai Ling nodded and admitted it. After glancing at Xiangzi and Chuhua, she suppressed her frustration and said to Chen Qi, whom she trusted the most:

"Qi, although I don't know what happened between you two yesterday, it's clear that your relationship with Chuhua was a big blow to Li Xi."

"When she came to school today, she looked dazed. Although she usually doesn't have much energy, this time... it reminded me of how she looked when Crychic just disbanded."

"I can't just leave her alone." Hai Ling paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to Chu Hua behind her and asked calmly:

"Chuhua, for this, I want to borrow your boyfriend. Now he is the only one who can help Lixi. Do you have any opinions?"

"No...if Qi and I can help." Chuhua shook her head with a somewhat embarrassed look, while Xiangzi beside her said nothing and just lowered his head silently.

Hailing didn't know the truth. In fact, Lixi's breakdown this time was not because of Chuhua. Lixi didn't even know that Chen Qi and Chuhua were dating, otherwise she might not be able to withstand the huge pressure, right?

"But Qi is still in the hospital now. What should Qi do to enlighten Shiina?" Although Chuhua agreed, he was still a little reluctant in his heart and asked Hailing in difficulty:

"Besides, Shiina-san probably doesn't want to see us right now..."

"——Lixi doesn't want to see us, so let us take the initiative to see Lixi."

However, just when Chu Hua wanted to use this as an excuse to decline, Chen Qi suddenly changed the subject, and everyone was once again caught off guard and turned their eyes to him.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Qi stood up with some difficulty and came to the closet in the ward. Soon, he placed the unfinished song that Li Xi had thrown in his hands yesterday in front of everyone.

"It just so happens that I have something on hand that will force Li Xi to come and see us."

"This is probably our chance, not only a chance to reconcile with Li Xi, but also an opportunity for Ave Mujica, Xiangzi, and this new band you wanted to form."

Xiangzi: "...Chen Qi, do you mean that you want to help with our band's first performance?"

However, Chen Qi's proposal also made Xiangzi's heart tremble unconsciously. After what happened yesterday, he never expected to perform on the same stage with Chen Qi again. Chen Qi also understood why Xiangzi was surprised, and smiled friendly and said:

"That's right, and I think Hailing would be willing to help and fill the only vacant bass position on Ave Mujica, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Xiangzi shook his head quickly and said to Chen Qi nervously:

"Chen Qi, you are still injured. You can't perform on stage right now."⑹

"——That's it." Chen Qi subconsciously touched the wound he had sutured, but what surprised Hailing, Xiangzi and Chuhua was that Chen Qi actually looked nonchalant about it. He shook his head and smiled:⒍

"But, it is precisely because of this that Li Xi can be more soft-hearted, isn't it?"

"No, I don't agree." After hearing Chen Qi's words, Xiangzi completely understood that Chen Qi was sacrificing himself and taking a two-pronged approach to Li Xi from a spiritual level to win Li Xi's forgiveness. He immediately replied solemnly: Four

"I won't allow you to do this! You are playing with your life!"

"It's not that serious, it's just singing, it shouldn't break the string." Chen Qi didn't think much of it, but seeing that Xiangzi still didn't want to give in, he changed the subject and said with a wry smile:

"Besides, Xiangzi, I can't bear to see you and Lixi being unable to reconcile for the rest of your lives, right?"

"I must do this, Xiangzi. Even if you disagree, I will go find everyone who has ended the band. If both of you disagree, I will try to form a band myself and pass these voices to Lixi."

"So, please, can you help me this time? If I cooperate with Xiangzi and the others, I might be able to have an easier time."
