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

With a polite greeting, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing the Yugaoka school uniform, actually stepped into Aine's room and met Aine's gaze, which was surprised but also a little wary and indifferent.

"...Why are you here?" Aiyin, who was in a state of dismay, still hadn't let go of her personal opinion of Xiangzi, and asked in an exceptionally indifferent tone.

And Toyokawa Shoko did not hide the purpose of her trip, and asked Aine directly:

"Don't get me wrong. This time, I don't represent anyone's opinion. I just do things according to my own will."

"Chihaya-san, I want to try to persuade you to return to Chen Qi."

"impossible."

However, as soon as Xiangzi explained his purpose, Aiyin, who was already not in a good mood towards Xiangzi, glanced away stiffly, and even her voice was unprecedentedly cold, and she said word by word:

"I can't possibly accept something so absurd. A harem or something like that... it's totally nonsense!"

"Why should I share Brother Qi with you? Am I the kind of person who can't like another man after leaving Brother Qi?!"

“…Ask yourself this question, Chihaya-san.” However, looking at the blushing Aine in front of her who was trying to be strong, Toyokawa Shoko’s eyes were filled with more emotion… and pity.

"Have you really forgotten Chen Qi? Just how important his position in our hearts is, I understand this as well as you do."

How similar. At that moment, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to see a shadow of her past self in the stubborn Aine.

The woman who had clearly seen through everything by Chen Qi still pretended to be strong to hurt him and rejected his kindness. In the end, she only tortured herself to the point of being covered in bruises, and ended up with nothing and everything lost.

“What do you know?” However, Aine, who silently lowered her head, clenched her fists and answered while trying to hold back tears:

"How could you possibly understand how much Brother Qi and I... were..."

"I understand." Toyokawa Shoko gently shook her head, the pity in her eyes was hard to contain, and she replied softly with a forced smile:

"Chihaya-san, I once had him for a short time just like you."

"So I understand better than anyone how much determination and courage it takes to give up on him. I also know better than anyone how much regret I will have to bear from the moment I make this decision."

"Chihaya, I don't want you to follow my path again, like I am now, watching others gain happiness while I am alone looking at everything that was once within my reach and feeling regretful."⒎

I have experienced that feeling once and it is enough for me. I don’t want to let Chen Qi, who is already in tatters, experience the pain of parting again.

Toyokawa Shoko spoke softly, and slowly sat down beside the distraught Aine. Soon, she noticed the frame that Aine had broken, and the photo inside, which symbolized the close relationship between the two of them in the past.

"... Chihaya, maybe you don't know yet? After Chen Qi and I left the hospital, we did something, right?"

"Although, I also feel that the harem... but, at least, you have to give Chen Qi a chance to win you back. Maybe his behavior can change your mind?"

"He is really trying his best to win back each of you, so, think about it carefully again, how about it?"

Toyokawa Shoko's voice was more gentle than ever before. For a moment, she even returned to her past self when she was not weathered by the wind and frost, patiently guiding the distracted Aiyin.

No, rather than speaking to Aiyin, it would be more accurate to say that Xiangzi was advising his past self, the self who had not yet decided to part ways with Chen Qi and was at the crossroads of life and was in despair.

She was convincing herself to make a completely different choice.

Perhaps if she did this, Aine's fate could be completely different from her own, and she would have a chance to embrace happiness.

And at least I have completely put an end to one of my thoughts... If I can really change Chihaya Aine's fate, then all the wrong things she did in the past can be compensated for, right?

"Give Chen Qi another chance, and give yourself another chance."

"At least, listen to his confession before leaving, okay?"

Aiyin: “…”

The silence lasted for a long time. Chihaya Aine, who had already made the decision to flee to London, was struggling in her heart as she listened to Shoko's heartfelt words of advice.

However, perhaps it was the lesson learned from Toyokawa Shoko that really had some effect on Aine.

Finally, after a long sigh, Aine's voice, which had become somewhat softer, also issued the final ultimatum.

"…I have booked a flight to London in a month."

"If Brother Qi doesn't make me change my mind within this month, I will... leave Japan and never come back."

Chapter 1:

Chapter 157 Chapter 156: Hai Ling’s questioning of Chen Qi, the true face of Triangle Chuhua?

"Ah, I'm so tired~"

The next day, in the "RiNG" coffee shop, Miao Mengqin sat with Hailing, Chuhua, and Mu, who were from the same band. Miao Meng, the female college student, lazily laid her slender body on the long table and complained weakly:

"Even though it's fun to practice with Xiaoqi, isn't Xiaoxiang being too friendly to me, a new drummer?"

"I remember Xiao Qi's original song. The drum beats weren't that dense, right?"

"But I think this will be more effective." Hachiman Kailing sipped the coffee in her cup. Her beautiful eyes occasionally swept across the bar. When she didn't see her good friend there, she felt a little melancholy in her heart.

Hailing hasn't interacted with Lixi for some time.

Although Lixi appears in school every day, in Hailing's eyes, Lixi is completely a sleeping beauty these days. Except for occasionally going to the toilet and standing up after school, she almost never raises her head.

This made Hailing even more anxious. Fortunately, she already knew exactly when they would be performing, which was next week.

The reason for choosing next week is because that is the day of the annual school festival. At that time, not only Hanasakigawa, but also Hanaoka, Tsuki no Mori and other schools will be open to the public.

Only during the school festival would Ave Mujica's application to perform at Hanasakigawa be approved so smoothly, and it would also ensure that Shiina Tatsuki would be able to hear their performance at that time.

And more importantly, at Hanasakigawa Girls' College, she and Chuhua, who are familiar with Li Xi, will ensure that this plan will go smoothly.

In the MYGO band, only Shiina Riki went to school at Hanasakigawa Middle School, and I and Chuhua, who were in the same class as her, stood with Chen Qi. This completely eliminated the possibility that Riki might know the news in advance and then refuse to come to the performance.

Afterwards, Chen Qi used this performance and the song tailor-made for Li Xi to move Li Xi and help her break free from the decadence of "lost love".

Of course, Hailing has her own little thoughts.

Although Hailing's wish to bring Chen Qi and Li Xi together was dashed after learning that Sanjiao Chuhua and Chen Qi were already dating, it did not mean that she gave up.

Now Hailing has started the second phase of her plan.

In particular, if Chen Qi's song could really move Lixi, then Lixi's psychological defenses should be at their lowest at that time. It can be said that it was the most suitable time for her to reveal her true feelings and the most suitable time to confess!

As long as he could give Li Xi and Chen Qi some time alone at that time, the gap between Li Xi and Chen Qi caused by their inability to be honest with each other might completely disappear!

Of course, Hai Ling didn't want to destroy the relationship between Chen Qi and Sanjiao Chuhua, and she wouldn't do something so hateful for Li Xi.

But Hailing knew Chen Qi. Since he was already dating Chu Hua, he would never do anything to let Chu Hua down.

Therefore, Hailing just hopes to create some time alone for the two of them, a monologue time that can eliminate the barriers between them.

In this case, even if Li Xi can't date Chen Qi, at least Li Xi won't continue to be so decadent.

㈧∽℃5、倛⑥⑥－≠桑”私■}肆⑵小说∪日更新#↓裙：——Besides, what if Chu Hua and Chen Qi broke up? Does Li Xi still have a chance?

As Hai Ling was thinking this, her eyes unconsciously turned to the side, where she was trying to talk to Mu, but Mu was responding incoherently.

"Hmm?" However, Chu Hua was also keenly aware of Hai Ling's gaze. After a gentle smile, he asked softly, "What's wrong? Hai Ling?"

"...Nothing." Hailing shook her head, pretending to pick up the coffee cup nonchalantly, and asked Chuhua: "Speaking of which, Qi and Fengchuan chatted for a long time."

"Chuhua, aren't you worried? I remember that Fengchuan and Qi used to have a good relationship."

"..."X2

However, as soon as Hai Ling said this, both the chattering Miao Meng and the silent Mu stopped what they were doing immediately. Everyone seemed to be indifferent, but their eyes were cast towards the smiling Chu Hua.

The news that Chu Hua and Chen Qi are dating is no longer a secret in Ave Mujica, and Chen Qi doesn't think that this can be hidden from everyone, so when everyone gathered yesterday, Chen Qi told everyone the news.

After a night of digestion, no matter how unbelievable Miao Mengqin and Hemu were at the time, they had already acquiesced to this fact.

Needless to say, Mu had been completely at ease since she got Chen Qi's approval yesterday. Now, she didn't really take Chu Hua, the so-called "official girlfriend", seriously.

After all, although Chu Hua is his girlfriend, He Mu is far behind him in terms of his second place in Chen Qi's heart.

As for Miao Mengqin, no one knew how she accepted the fact. All they knew was that she came to "RiNG" as usual today, as if nothing had happened. However, she had not spoken another word to Chu Hua Ba∑>伍七.≥柳＞六桑似４樲与≤:韓～?:and Xiangzi so far.

And now, when it comes to the topic between Chen Qi and Chu Hua, Miao Meng and Mu are the first to pay attention to it.

Apparently, Hailing wasn’t the only one who supported the “breakup” between Chen Qi and Chu Hua.

"Xiao Xiang and Qi do have a very good relationship." However, Chu Hua's response was still flawless. The warm smile on her face did not fade at all, and she replied gently:

"I won't doubt Qi. Since Qi has agreed to my confession, I have to give Qi enough trust~"

"If I get jealous every time Qi talks to a girl, Qi will think that I am too possessive, right?"

"What's more..." Chu Hua's eyes turned slightly, and he said to Hai Ling, Miao Meng and Mu with a hint of meaning:

"I still trust Xiaoxiang very much. Xiaoxiang won't do anything to steal my boyfriend. I'm sure of that~"

Hailing: “…Yes.”

It seems that the possibility of Chu Hua taking the initiative to break up with Chen Qi is almost gone.

However, Hai Ling's previous test still allowed her to get the information she wanted, which was that Chu Hua didn't seem to mind Chen Qi having some contact with other girls.

This was of course good news for Hailing, as it meant that she could obtain Chuhua's consent to allow Chen Qi and Lixi to talk alone for a while after the performance on the day of the campus festival, without having to worry about ruining the relationship between her and Chen Qi.

Then what we need now is ㈨↓+肆%㈧@②泀san“⒊□＊邻”±鵡刺卉４折∈-代理購：The only thing we need to seek is Chen Qi’s opinion.

"Qi is still injured. I'll go and urge Xiangzi and Qi to come down and rest for a while."

After that, Hai Ling also stood up slowly and walked towards the recording studio. She did not notice that after she stood up, Sanjiao Chuhua's seemingly harmless smile flashed a ray of light when he cast his eyes at her back...

……

"A month?... That's really tight time. I have to win back both Riki and Aine within a month."

"What's wrong?" In the recording studio, Toyokawa Shoko found an opportunity to be alone with Chen Qi during the break and told Chen Qi about her conversation with Aine yesterday. However, she never expected that what she got was a very subtle expression from Chen Qi.

"Did I do something wrong again?"

“——No, Xiangzi, thank you for negotiating with Aine on my behalf. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have known that Aine was planning to leave.”

Chen Qi thanked Xiangzi from the bottom of his heart for taking the initiative this time. He was almost possessed by Su Shi and sent messages to Ain all night yesterday, but Ain's actions were more decisive than his, and she didn't reply to any of his messages all night.

Fortunately, just when Chen Qi was doubting whether he really could not win back Aiyin, Xiangzi brought him a glimmer of hope.

This was just a glimmer of hope, so slim that even Chen Qi began to doubt himself.

It’s not that Chen Qi doesn’t want to win back Aiyin, but he understands that while Aiyin and Lixi’s personalities are revolting, their attitudes towards the “harem” issue are actually highly overlapping - it is already difficult to get them to accept the harem proposal.

Needless to say, Aiyin was slapped in the face just after Chen Qi confessed the matter to her. This girl next door, who used to be in love with him, was so angry that she wanted to leave Japan and completely cut off all ties with him.

As for Li Xi... she just ran away early and hadn't heard the news yet. Otherwise, the violence she inflicted on Chen Qi couldn't be solved by a slap in the face.

Now, not only did he have to win them back one by one, but he also had to make these two girls who had always been at odds with him accept the fact that they were dating him... For Chen Qi, the difficulty had increased exponentially.

"Xiangzi, what should I do?" Chen Qi also looked distressed, and asked Xiangzi in desperation:

"If it's just about winning them back, it's not that difficult, but what happens after winning them back?"

"Even if Aiyin won't leave, Lixi is willing to return to the band. They still can't accept the fact that I'm dating multiple women at the same time. At least Aiyin knows about it. If Lixi knew, I'm afraid she would have to leave in the end."彡

And more importantly, even if everything develops in an ideal direction and Aine and Riki are willing to date him, how can the two of them, who are angry and hostile to each other, accept each other's existence?

Chen Qi could only hope for time, but now, in just one month, how could he make Aiyin and Lixi understand each other?

"...I'm sorry, Chen Qi, I don't have the experience of playing with multiple women at the same time." Xiangzi looked at Chen Qi with a distressed face and gave him a look of pity, but his tone was full of gloating and teasing, and he replied softly: Wu

"But now you can only take it one step at a time, right? Even winning back Shiina-san and Chihaya-san is still an unknown, so it's too early to think about the future."

"What's more." Xiangzi's eyes unconsciously looked towards the outside of the house and said softly:

"Compared to them, Chen Qi, it seems that you haven't even dealt with Chuhua yet."

But just thinking about it makes me feel that my future is bleak...

Although they luckily survived the most difficult stage and Mu and Deng seemed to be getting along well, none of the remaining ones had an easy time.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Mujica team. Except for Xiangzi and Mu, who knew and understood his harem remarks, the rest of the people knew nothing about his decision.

In particular, Sanjiao Chuhua, his so-called "official girlfriend", is sitting in the coffee shop on the corner.

I haven't found an opportunity yet to tell Chuhua about my harem plan while she's in a more emotional mood...

"...Chen Qi, if you can't speak, I can explain it to Chuhua for you." Xiangzi looked at Chen Qi's conflicted expression and suggested carefully.

Xiangzi knew very well that he had no chance now. Even if he could give up the little dignity he had left, Chen Qi would not be able to accept her. He had already done enough for him.

She wanted to help Chen Qi now just to make up for the mistakes she had made in the past.

Since it was because of me that everyone had to give up their feelings for Chen Qi, and the situation has evolved to this point.

Then, let me help Chen Qi find these friends one by one, and return all the favors I have ever received to them. With such awareness in her heart, Xiangzi now seems to have returned to her original appearance.

"No." However, after a brief thought, Chen Qi tactfully rejected Xiangzi's kindness, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Some responsibilities can only be shouldered by me alone."

"As for Chuhua, I will find a time when she is in a good mood to tell her the truth."
