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

Especially at this time, Chen Qi had just escaped from the edge of danger. If Deng wanted to talk, it would probably be related to Xiangzi's matter, right?

Chen Qi also exchanged glances with Aiyin, Xiangzi and Mu, and after receiving their nods indicating their willingness to cooperate, Chen Qi completely lost his psychological burden and agreed to his sister's request.

Liang's father also tactfully withdrew. However, after Chen Qi and Deng entered the ward, Liang's father whispered meaningfully to the three girls outside the door before leaving:⑵

"The soundproofing of our hospital wards is very good. You can't hear anything from outside the door."

"However, there is a call communication system in the nurse's office at the front desk that is connected to the ward. It is usually open. If you listen there, you will probably be able to hear it more clearly."

"Ah, I wonder if all the nurses have gone to the cafeteria. I hope there are still some on duty."

After that, Liang's father left alone without paying attention to Aiyin and Xiangzi's reactions. After he left, the three girls looked at each other and entered a long period of silence.

However, this silence did not last long. In the end, Chihaya Aine, who could not sit still, became the one to break the silence.

"——I'm going to the bathroom. Don't eavesdrop on the conversation between Qi and Tomorin."

"Although you are pitiful, I will not give up Brother Qi to you because of this, Toyokawa Shoko."

Xiangzi: “…”

Xiangzi did not respond to Aine's words, and Mu chose to nod silently.

Faced with Aiyin's attempt to hide the truth, Xiangzi just stared at her departing back. However, the words that Aiyin left behind made Xiangzi's heart, which had originally been much quieter, become restless again.

Deng and Chen Qi, they should talk about her, right?

After all, Deng is Chen Qi's sister, and she must have a lot of dissatisfaction about her own affairs. Deng's opinion of herself will definitely have a certain impact on Chen Qi's decision.

Although he knew that the lights would definitely not be good for his senses, the long-awaited rehearsal with Chen Qi on Ave Mujica today made Xiangzi's heart involuntarily have a few more fantasies.

So, under the instigation of this throbbing, under the cold gaze of Mu, Xiangzi finally stood up carefully and gently opened a tiny crack in the ward.

"No matter how curious I am, it won't change what you did, Xiang.":

Just as Xiangzi turned the doorknob, Mu Qinglin's cold voice came from behind her: "Qi will never belong to you again. You are just like Su Shi, you don't deserve to have him."

"...I know."

Having said that, Xiangzi's actions were inconsistent with her thoughts. She still pushed open a small gap, enough for her to see everything in the ward clearly.

But after a while, facing this scene in the ward, Xiangzi's eyes trembled slightly, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying -

"Woo..." Six

As soon as he entered the ward, Chen Qi had not yet heard Deng's words, but he had already received a long-awaited kiss from his sister. Chen Qi had just kissed Chu Hua passionately at noon, and was kissed by his sister again in the afternoon.

However, with the experience from Chu Hua, Chen Qi was able to deal with Deng with ease. After a slight smile, he responded to Deng's coquetry with ease and accepted her way of venting her emotions.

But Chen Qi didn't know how much impact this scene had on Xiangzi, who was peeping at all this outside the house and didn't know the truth.

Why did Chen Qi and Deng kiss?!

Besides, didn’t Chen Qi already agree to Chu Hua’s confession?! What is he doing?

For a moment, dirty words such as cheating, two-timing, incest, etc., repeatedly washed over the cognition of Toyokawa Shoko, a former young lady who had never seen such an ethical drama, so much so that she almost forgot that she was peeping and broke into the room.

But Xiangzi didn't do that, she controlled herself.

"?"

Mu also noticed Xiangzi's drastic emotional change. She originally just wanted to watch Xiangzi's last bit of disillusionment being shattered, but she couldn't help but come to Xiangzi's side.

Soon, Mu witnessed it again, which brought her a huge shock and made her decide to keep Chen Qi away from Gao Song Deng: the scene of Deng and Chen Qi kissing.

On the other side, after answering the ward's summons, even if she only heard some faint sounds, Chihaya Aine had already guessed what the two were doing. She couldn't control her emotions and held the microphone tightly with reluctance.

Tomorin...how many times have you and Qi done this when I can't see you?

I have never done this to Brother Qi before. After more than ten years of relationship, is it so convenient?

Fortunately, this scene, which was too shocking for Xiangzi and Aiyin, did not last too long. The defeated Deng soon collapsed in Chen Qi's arms with a blushing face. However, this time, Deng did not indulge in the gentleness for too long, and asked sullenly:

"Brother... Have I caused you a lot of trouble?"

"How could that be?" Chen Qi gently rubbed Deng's hair in his arms, and gently comforted his sister who had begun to doubt herself after hearing something he didn't know: "Deng, is it because of Xiangzi's incident yesterday that you feel uneasy?"

"It was my fault for hiding things about Xiangzi from you. You didn't know anything about it. You don't need to feel guilty about what Xiangzi did in the past because you hated him."

“——It has nothing to do with Xiangzi, brother.”

However, Deng bravely raised his head and looked directly into Chen Qi's eyes, and answered solemnly: "Even if Xiangzi is not here... I have done a lot of things that put my brother in a dilemma, right?"

"My brother clearly didn't want to accept me at first, but I kept pressing him."

"Even though Aine-chan likes brother so much, I still did a lot of excessive things to him in order to monopolize him."

"My brother has been working hard to maintain the band, but I have been selfish and have repeatedly frustrated his wishes."

"I am really selfish, brother. I feel like I am becoming less and less like a 'human'."

Takamatsu Deng's monologue made the peeping Xiangzi and Hemu, as well as the eavesdropping Aiyin, fall into silence - weren't they the same?

Especially the silent Mu, she did not forget the answer Su Shi gave her yesterday when she said to Su Shi the words "You only think about yourself" which symbolized the breakup.

"Xiao Mu, you and me, and Xiao Xiang, what's the difference between us?"

...No, I am doing this for Qi with all my heart. If Qi says in person who the person he loves is, then even if she is reluctant in her heart, she will accept this fact.

She just wanted Qi to be happy, she never wanted to monopolize Qi. Even if Qi said he liked Xiang and Su Shi, she would...

However, even with this in her heart, Mu was unable to convince herself... She found that her excuse seemed to be becoming less and less tenable.

In the past, she might have been able to deceive herself openly, but since this time when Chen Qi almost put herself in danger in order to save Xiangzi, and after she actually experienced the feeling of almost losing Chen Qi forever, Mu also found that her possessiveness of Chen Qi was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

In her heart, a very deep thought began to become more and more intense.

If all the people Qi is familiar with cannot give Qi the happiness he wants.

Can I be the only person by Qi's side?

Such thoughts gradually began to occupy Mu's heart, and made her attitude increasingly sharp and extreme when facing those who had hurt and deceived Chen Qi. Mu also felt this.

But, as Deng said, what is the difference between what I do and the people I hate?

Mu was a little dazed. At this moment, Chen Qi in the room, after listening to Deng's words, gently rubbed Mu's hair. He did not sigh, nor did he agree with Deng's words. Instead, he gave his comfort:

"Deng, people are inherently selfish. You don't need to apologize for your selfishness. This actually makes you more like a 'human'. A person who has his own little thoughts, who gets jealous, gets hurt, and who feels sorry for what he has done is a normal person."

"Rather, I should be the one to apologize, Deng. I'm afraid my selfishness has affected each of you."

As he spoke, looking at the light in front of him, now in this private space, Chen Qi was not going to suppress his inner thoughts any longer. He planned to confess to his sister first.

Although this may bring a huge shock to Deng, instead of waiting for this bomb to grow bigger in the future, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity when Deng's attitude has softened to say it out. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope that Deng will accept it.

So, after taking a deep breath, Chen Qi suppressed his pounding heart and said softly to Gao Songdeng in front of him with all his courage:

"I... don't I also hope that each of you can stay with me?"

"Shoko, Xiaomu, Sushi, Aine..."

"I want to love each and every one of you and fulfill my promise to each and every one of you, Deng, and cherish each of you as much as I love you."

"Deng, are you willing to accept my wish?"

Silence. This time, the only response to Chen Qi was a suffocating silence.

Xiangzi was dumbfounded.

Mu's body trembled slightly, and he maintained an expression of disbelief and daze, digesting the meaning of Chen Qi's words.

Chihaya Aine's fingers trembled, and the receiver of the phone fell to the ground. She sat on the nurse's bench at the front desk with a dazed look in her eyes, unable to comprehend everything in her mind.

The silence lasted for a long time. Gao Songdeng came to his senses and looked at his brother who looked uneasy and ready to die at any time. After a long time, he showed a peaceful smile.

...It seems that my brother and I are almost indistinguishable from real siblings.

Even in this matter, are we so in sync with each other?

"…Is this what my brother wishes for?"

"If that's the case, then brother...your wish is actually what I hope for as well."

"I am just as selfish and greedy as my brother... It's great."

PS: It’s late, it’s late, it’s late (sorry sorry)

Actually, I was quite helpless. I took melatonin and slept for eleven hours. However, the aftereffects made me sleep again at noon. I was still in a daze and didn't think of the plot until the afternoon.

I feel like I can probably write another 500,000 or 600,000 words, right? Don’t worry, I feel like I can finish it well this time and write everything I need to write.

At least, the touching scenes must not be missed~

Volume 155: Chapter 154 Chapter : Chihaya Aine couldn't accept it and chose to escape

"Light? You mean... you understand me?"

After making his harem declaration, Chen Qi was prepared for his sister's crying of betrayal, or even slapping him madly. However, he never expected that his sister would accept his absurd statement so easily.

In Chen Qi's imagination, Gao Songdeng, who once exploded because he and Xiangzi were too close and even distorted their understanding of the brother-sister relationship that had lasted for more than ten years, should be the person who is most reluctant to accept his proposal.

After all, all of Deng's previous behavior was telling him that she was unwilling to let go.

What Deng wanted was to go back to the past when they were just the two of them, so why did she suddenly give in now?

"I used to... always think that I was the most important person in my brother's heart, and that no one could compare to the relationship between me and my brother."4

"I have always thought that as long as it is for me, my brother will definitely give in... just like before, my brother has never rejected me."

As she spoke, Deng, who was leaning against Chen Qi's arms and mumbling to herself, gently brushed Chen Qi's chest, which was still wrapped in gauze. All that came to her mind were the little things that happened between her and her brother in the past.

In my memory, he always seemed to indulge me so much that I forgot when I started to get used to his pampering and favoritism.

However, after repeatedly expecting and even half forcing her brother to stand on her side, Gao Songdeng gradually realized that she had actually been deliberately ignoring her brother's wishes and blindly forcing him to choose one from two different levels of pain.

I just relied on my brother's inability to give up his feelings and identity, forcing him to bear the pain and give up others.

Yes, Gao Songdeng knew all of this, but she felt guilty, but she didn't want to change it.

She really wanted to have her brother all to herself.

So, during this period when Chen Qi was very busy with the affairs of the triangle with Chuhua and had no time to take care of them, although Gao Songdeng felt a little lonely and even jealous of his brother and Chuhua's "temporary couple" relationship, he chose to accept it.

After all, she knew that her brother would have to make a choice sooner or later, and as a "sister", even if she could not win, she would definitely not lose.

Nothing will happen to her. She just needs to wait for her brother to reject them and come back to her...

And it was not until yesterday, when Gao Songdeng’s brother was so hurt that he could not bear it in order to save Xiangzi, that he realized the feeling called “backlash”…

"I have also thought about using this method to keep my brother by my side."

"But, I ignored my brother's feelings... To my brother, whether it's me, Xiangzi, or Aine-chan... they are all equally hard to let go."

"Xiangzi had done so many inappropriate things to his brother, but his brother risked his life to save Xiangzi... No matter who was missing, his brother would feel sad and heartbroken."

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't understand this until now."

"It is only now that I understand what the price I absolutely cannot pay is."

Suddenly, Gao Songdeng, with tears in her eyes, slowly raised her head. She stared at the person she loved most in front of her. The arms that were holding Chen Qi, also gained a little more strength because of the emotions in her heart.

At this moment, a light called enlightenment flashed in Gao Songdeng's eyes.

"Brother, you gave me happiness, so your happiness is also my happiness."

"I don't want to...see everyone so sad and in pain again. Everyone is so scheming and attacking each other. This is not what I and my brother want!"

"If doing this can mend my brother's broken heart, I... will work with my brother to get all the love back!"

The moment Takamatsu Deng spoke out all her awareness in a resounding voice, not only Xiangzi and Mutsu with trembling eyes, but also Chihaya Aine who was listening to their conversation on the other side, and even Chen Qi who had originally decided on the harem, were stunned by their sister's words.

What made Chen Qi feel ashamed was that he found that although he had made this decision earlier than his sister, he did not seem to be as determined as Deng showed.

Chen Qi still has some doubts about his own abilities. Not only does he want to win back all the people he loves, but Chen Qi also doubts whether he can really make everyone accept his harem even if he wins them back, and whether he has the ability to give them happiness equally.

After all, it is already difficult to convince these people who originally wanted to monopolize me to accept sharing. I cannot stop cherishing and loving any of them, otherwise new disputes will definitely arise.

　But now, after listening to Deng's words and knowing the support given to him by his sister, Chen Qi felt much more at ease.

It’s not that Chen Qi expected Deng to really help him reconcile the relationships among everyone, but the change in Deng’s attitude and behavior gave Chen Qi’s uneasy heart great comfort.

It was not until now that Chen Qi began to believe that he could really do all this.

"Thank you, Deng... Although such words should not come out of my brother's mouth, thank you for accepting my selfishness."

"——I'm not just my brother."

However, facing his brother's relief and relief, Deng was sure that he had made the right decision, and with a slightly red face, he spoke softly to Chen Qi:
