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

"Okay, this looks pretty good, Qi."

"Thank you for helping me with my makeup, Chuhua. I know nothing about this either." Chen Qi looked at his face in the mirror, which did look better after Chuhua's makeup. After smiling and nodding, he couldn't help but ask:

"But, is this really necessary? We all wear masks during performances. The audience can't tell the effect of the makeup, right?"

“Don’t think like that~” Chu Hua looked at Chen Qi, who was wearing a dark-style dress that was completely different from his own. His extremely abrupt outfit, as white as the bright moon, also made Chu Hua lose his mind involuntarily.

This is the person she likes... Just from the looks, her taste is pretty good~

"You are the hidden figure of our Ave Mujica. You can be said to be the most important part of our band, so you can't slack off."

"It's just..." However, when he said this, a sly smile appeared on Chu Hua's face, and he said to Chen Qi teasingly:

"Our hidden character, Mr., seems to be a little dissatisfied with the character designed by Xiaoxiang~"

"...Is it that obvious?"

Although Chen Qi felt that Ave Mujica's performance mode of integrating stage plays into musical performances was a bit childish before he traveled through time, out of wanting to help Xiangzi, Chen Qi tried his best not to get involved in Ave Mujica's "worldview" and let Xiangzi play with it.

However, when Chen Qi got his "character card" from Xiangzi, he still had to scratch his head because of Xiangzi's middle school attributes.

Xiangzi obviously took Chen Qi's position into consideration. It is impossible for him to participate in every performance of Ave Mujica. Therefore, in order to fit the world view she created, she designed Chen Qi as a "white shadow that will only wake up when the moon is full. He will transform into the Moon Lake itself and bring the supreme performance to the carnival of the puppets."

To be honest, it was only when Chen Qi saw Xiangzi's slightly red cheeks and realized belatedly how childish her setting was that he resisted the urge to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from the ground with his toes.

...However, from another perspective, perhaps it is only these settings that make Chen Qi feel that Xiangzi is just an ordinary high school girl, and still retains the "dark personality" that almost every boy and girl has fantasized about.

Forget it, since Xiangzi likes it, he won’t say much.

"Fortunately, we don't need to recite lines for today's performance." Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the tight time, Xiangzi didn't have time to write the script for the stage play. This was a disguised way of saving him.

He couldn't perform a play on stage like Xiangzi, or recite poetry like Deng. This was a public execution for him, with the same destructive power as exposing his whining stream-of-consciousness essays written in junior high school on the Internet.

"But even though you resisted so much in your heart, you still endured it for Xiaoxiang."

However, Chu Hua naturally hugged Chen Qi from behind while he was sitting on the chair. With the help of the small mirror on the table, Chen Qi could still see Chu Hua's unhappy expression on his shoulder. He whispered in his ear: "Three..."

"Qi, although I know that you indulge Xiaoxiang because you and her have been through a lot, there are some things I still want to hear from you in person."

"...Can you promise me that you won't let Xiaoxiang take you away again? "

Why do you use the word "take away"? Am I a pet?

Although Chen Qi was speechless, he still knew clearly what Chu Hua meant... After all, for a girl as confident and strong as Chu Hua, if there was anything that made her feel guilty and lack confidence, it would probably be about what happened between him and Xiangzi in the past.

"What are you thinking about? Chuhua, everything between Xiangzi and I is over."

Chen Qi also gently rubbed Chu Hua's golden hair with his backhand. After receiving Chen Qi's affirmative reply, Chu Hua's face was filled with a gentle smile again. She closed her eyes quietly, enjoying the touch of Chen Qi stroking her hair.

It felt like he was rubbing a big, clingy golden retriever. Chen Qi looked at Chu Hua, whose joy was beyond words, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

But apart from that, Chen Qi himself was actually feeling guilty... Although he could promise Chuhua that his past relationship with Xiangzi was over, they would basically just be friends in the future.

However, there are still things about the harem that he has not confessed to Chuhua.

Although Chen Qi still doesn't know Chu Hua's attitude towards the harem, based on Saint Chu Hua's personality, as long as he tells Chu Hua everything about their past, she should still forgive him, right?

So, looking at Chu Hua's profile, Chen Qi moved his lips slightly and asked tentatively:

"Chuhua, I... wu?"

However, before Chen Qi could speak, Chu Hua's slender jade finger gently touched Chen Qi's lips. The next second, Chu Hua, whose cheeks were a little more rosy, said to Chen Qi shyly:

"Not yet..."

"?" Chen Qi was a little confused. What's wrong?

"The performance is about to begin. I still have light lipstick on my lips. Kiss or something..." Chu Hua leaned close to Chen Qi's ear, and her seductive warm breath came softly, "I'll reward you after the performance."

"..."

Well, it turned out that she misunderstood that I wanted a kiss. But considering the atmosphere just now and the distance between me and Chu Hua, it really seemed unreasonable not to kiss her.

However, Chu Hua's words also made Chen Qi lose the opportunity to confess his harem plan to Chu Hua again.

Forget it. After all, the performance is about to start. I can't learn from Su Shi and mess up my teammates' mentality before going on stage. If Chu Hua's reaction is too strong and the performance cannot go on, that would be a big deal.

Is it just a matter of finding another opportunity? But if this continues, when will I be able to confess to Chu Hua?

However, just when Chen Qi sighed in his heart, he did not notice that Chu Hua in the small mirror narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his amethyst-like clear eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see through all her thoughts about Chen Qi...

"Click."

Suddenly, the classroom door opened, causing Chen Qi and Chu Hua to subconsciously turn their heads. When Chu Hua saw the expressionless Mu outside the door, her perfect professional smile returned to her face again, and she called softly:

"Xiao Mu, you are ready too, you look so cute~"

"...Chuhua, stop pestering Qi all the time."

However, Mu was not fooled by Chu Hua's smile. Instead, after noticing that Chu Hua was still very close to Chen Qi, he walked into the classroom with a cold look and said lightly:

"The show is about to start. Now that we're done with our makeup, let's go."

"Coming soon~"

Facing Mu's cold attitude, Chu Hua seemed to feel nothing and remained inseparable from Chen Qi.

Instead, Chu Hua took out the white mask that had been prepared on the table and could cover half of the face, and put it on Chen Qi's face with his own hands under Mu's cold gaze.

"Tsk."

A smacking sound came from someone's mouth. Outside the door, Miao Mengqin, after seeing the intimate scene between Chu Hua and his brother, suddenly complained:

"It's really unbearable to watch, the sour smell of love."

"..."

However, when Xiangzi silently gazed at this scene that made her envious, her eyes flickered with an irrepressible luster, but in the end, with a long sigh, she chose to swallow all the bitterness.

The next second, she also put on the black lace mask on her face silently.

Put on a mask and leave all the bitterness behind backstage. Once you step onto the stage, you are just the emotionless puppet designed by the designer.

……

"Ha ha……"

“Ai, Aine-chan…wait…I can’t breathe…”

On the other side, Takamatsu Tomori, who was grabbed by Chihaya Aine's wrist and almost dragged by himself, hurried from Hanaoka to Hanasakigawa. After finally arriving at the auditorium of the performance venue, his face turned pale, as if he was about to vomit in the next second.

"I'm sorry, Tomorin, I was too impatient... "

And it was only when Aine arrived at the auditorium and found that the performance didn't seem to have started that she had time to pay attention to the condition of the lights around her. Just as she was whispering an apology, a figure not far away had already noticed them.

"As expected, you are here, Chihaya-san, Takamatsu-san."

"Ryo-san, Goto-san."

Ryo and Pochi-chan, each holding a drink in their hands, quickly approached the two. Ryo didn’t even wait for Aine and the others to explain, but cast his gaze to the other side and said lightly:

"It's not just you. It seems that there are other people in MYGO who are looking forward to this performance even more."

"That's, Taki-chan?"

Not far away, Shiina Riki, who hadn't been seen for more than a week, was staring at the stage intently. She didn't even notice the arrival of Aine and Deng. Her lips were pursed nervously, and her slightly red cheeks showed that she was uneasy inside.

"I think it's better for you not to disturb her." Liang stared at Li Xi's expectant expression expressionlessly, despising her behavior of being too excited and seeming to forget Chen Qi's current situation, and said lightly:

"Everything you did today was for your friend. At least today, don't let her beautiful dream be shattered."

"What do you mean?"

However, Ryo's words made Aine's heart tremble involuntarily, but before she could continue to ask, a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience attracted all their attention.

At this moment, when everyone from Ave Mujica stepped onto the stage, Aine and Deng, as well as the students from Hanasakigawa in the audience, almost instantly recognized the figure of Chen Qi, who was still recognizable even though he was wearing a mask!

The reason was simple. After all, Chu Hua, one of the three people around Chen Qi, was too easy to recognize. Coupled with the little actions Chu Hua had done before, the news that she and Chen Qi were going to perform on stage quickly spread on Huasakikawa's social networking site.

This also caused the number of people in the auditorium to more than double in a short period of time!

Just as Chu Hua said before, Chen Qi's popularity among high school girls is really extremely high.

After all, which high school girl can resist a 1.88-meter-tall, handsome and talented brother who will sing "Love" and "Fireworks" with you on stage?

"Brother Chen Qi! Brother Chen Qi!"

There were bursts of cheers from the high school girls in the audience. This nickname that had become popular on the Internet for some unknown reason also resounded in the auditorium, making Takamatsu Deng, who was standing next to Aine, a little confused.

How come there are so many people calling my brother "brother" all of a sudden?

This is obviously my exclusive name...

However, on the stage, looking at the extraordinary enthusiasm of the girls from Hanasakigawa, Chen Qi, who was wearing a mask, exchanged glances with Xiangzi and others before reluctantly stepping forward, stretching out a finger and pressing it to his lips.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

However, this action caused the female high school students to scream even more sharply, and many girls in the audience covered their ears.

"This guy! He is just good at teasing girls! 中≥〉转〓『群：☆姨＝(零←※缌"⒏±肆、㈡９∵零5"

Shiina Riki covered her ears and glared at Chen Qi on the stage with blushing cheeks, but she never mentioned what happened just now. Her heartbeat also accelerated.

It was all Hai Ling's fault! Ever since she told herself that this guy had written a song for her and that this performance was specially prepared for her, her heartbeat had never calmed down. Now, even a single move from that guy made her feel uneasy!

"That's Ave Mujica. They're all people I know."

On the other side, Xiduo, who was standing with Hongxia, also recognized everyone wearing masks on the stage one by one. However, she looked at the exquisite costumes of Chen Qi and others, as well as the huge posters that had been designed behind them, and couldn't help but sigh:

"So impressive... Is this really a workload that can be completed in a week? They have the aura of a professional band."

"yes……"

However, Hong Xia's expression was a little subtle. She really wanted to put on a smile and face the performance calmly. After all, Chen Qi was still a member of the band, and this performance was just to help.

However, when Hongxia looked at the results of a week's work by Toyokawa Shoko and her group on the stage, which were even more professional than what the band had shown after several months of hard practice, she felt a little bitter in her heart.

Especially when she saw Chen Qi standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by a group of geniuses, a sour feeling of inferiority arose in Hong Xia's heart.

It turns out that if you want to stand by Qi's side, the so-called "genius" is just a qualification certificate.

Since I am not a genius at all, am I really qualified to perform on the same stage with Qi?

When she thought of this, Hong Xia forced herself to shake her head and drive these messy thoughts out of her mind. At this time, Chen Qi on the stage approached the microphone in front of him after seeing that the scene was almost quiet.

“——Thank you very much for coming to our first show on Ave Mujica.”

“Although many of the audience seem to know me, here, my name is [Yumenuma].”

“However, today’s performance is not under the name of Yumenuma. Today’s performance is the voice I hope to convey.”

Chen Qi whispered this, his eyes quickly scanning every audience member in the audience, looking for Shiina Riki's figure, while his soft voice continued to speak:

“Once there was a girl who gave me an unfinished song. In that unfinished song, I saw her countless unspeakable emotions.”

"I understood those aspirations and questions written on the paper. The answers she wanted to seek from me were actually to clear the haze in her heart."

"She was very confused, unable to see her way forward, and even unable to understand who she really was."

Finally, Chen Qi's eyes were fixed on the inconspicuous figure of Shiina Lixi under the stage. At that moment, Chen Qi's eyes, which were mixed with apology and tenderness, collided with Lixi's scattered eyes.

Although it was only for a short moment, Li Xi lowered his head with a red face, but Chen Qi knew that his voice had already reached Li Xi's heart.

Then all that remains is to use the method that he is good at to get back everything that Li Xi has.

Let him peel off the fog that lingers in Li Xi's heart with his own hands.

"So today, I will be that beam of light, the spring rain that disperses the fog, so that you can see clearly the most moving moment of yourself."

"Everything about you in my eyes is more charming than you can imagine."

At the moment when the extremely gentle whisper fell, Chen Qi finally withdrew his gaze, and looked at the group of high school students below the stage who were already intoxicated, as if Chen Qi was whispering softly in their ears, and Chen Qi finally said the name of his song.

"——"Spring Thunder"."4

The words floated softly, and the next second, Toyokawa Shoko's fingers fell on the keys, and a few piano sounds like raindrops falling on the lake were clearly heard.

After a while, accompanied by the sudden sound of guitar, drums and bass, as if the moment thunder sounded, the rain gradually began to pour down.

"That guy, just play the music, why say such cheesy things!"

However, Shiina Riki, who was blushing in the audience, was covering her cheeks with her hands in embarrassment. At this moment, she did not feel touched at all, but more ashamed!

It was as if all the impulsive things he had done a week ago had turned into boomerangs and were hitting him!

"What about the unfinished song I wrote for him? How can I let other people know about this? It's so shameful!"
