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

"I don't have the courage to tell you this."

puff.

In an instant, all the thoughts in her heart were almost perfectly matched by Shiina Riki, and her heartbeat was so heavy that her body couldn't help but stiffen.

But what followed was the bitter and shy tears in her eyes that could no longer be suppressed, which scattered and fell softly from her eye sockets.

"The pain is searing and the numbness is piercing into the bone marrow."

“I realized that this was a silent love.”

"Building a bridge to your heart"

“I just realized this was such an important thunderstorm.”

……Fool.

Since I know that this is a silent love, I shouldn't sing out my feelings in such a public environment.

How can I deceive myself when you are like this? How can I face up to this feeling that I have been hiding in my heart but now it comes to my mind again, destined to be unrequited?

"Please continue to deceive me."

"Laugh at this love as much as you want."

"Until it disappears completely..."

Li Xi was crying silently, but unlike the shame she felt at the beginning, she now felt like a sheep in wolf's clothing.

Originally, I could still rely on this ferocious wolf skin to do evil, but after going through the most hysterical stage, I was finally stripped of this wolf skin and finally had to face up to my own gentle nature.

She had to admit that everything she had done to protect herself had been stripped away by the man on the stage, and her heart was now almost the same as if she were naked.

All of this was destined from the moment she threw that song to him. She threw all her weaknesses to this man who could see through her mind.

㈨Now, no matter how unwilling she is to admit it, she has already surrendered to this man who sees through everything.

All of a sudden, all of Shiina Riki's psychological defenses had been quietly broken down, but she did not react as violently as before. On the contrary, she seemed to accept this fact very quickly, and even her heart, which had been suppressed for a long time, seemed to finally relax.

At least, my long-suppressed mood has been conveyed to him.

㈧This is enough. I don't have to hide anything anymore, and I don't have to feel guilty about this relationship anymore. All the constraints that had been on me have been released at this moment.

⒋The feeling of having someone to whom you can express your unexpressible feelings...seems pretty good.

2. “Whether it is spoken words or tangible things.”

9. “Everything is so illusory.”

掕……

5 “And in a split second”

"The only thing left is the almost painful love shuttle in my body."

Finally, just when the song was about to end and Shiina Riki's mood began to gradually return to normal, Chen Qi on the stage seemed to have completely grasped Liki's moment of relaxation. When he faced the microphone again, a voice came out that made Liki tremble all over.

: "Hu, hu, hu, hu, hu~"

For a moment, it was as if someone was blowing hot air gently into her ears, or as if someone was breathing nervously. Such stimulation made Lixi, who had been relaxed, blush again.

When she glared at Chen Qi on the stage in shame and anger, she never expected that Chen Qi was still unrestrained. As if playing a prank, he responded to her with a panting sound that made her heart tremble even more.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha~”

Finally, with that final heart-stirring exhalation, "Spring Thunder" ended without any delay, just like the thunder stopping and the rain stopping.

And at the moment when everything fell silent, Chen Qi and others on the stage were greeted by the crazy screams and cheers of countless blushing female high school students in the audience. The whole auditorium was shaking slightly because of the voices of these girls.

Obviously, Chen Qi's breathing, which was a little bit erotic, combined with his already high popularity among female high school students, was extremely lethal to the students of Hanasakigawa.

"This guy! He really hasn't changed his bad habits! He just likes to tease girls like this!"

Li Xi, whose heart was also beating fast because of Chen Qi's panting, rubbed his itchy ears with a red face, muttering something incessantly.

She was obviously quite touched just now! But after this guy did this, the atmosphere was completely gone!

Chen Qi's prank made Shiina Riki, who was originally touched in her heart, regain her pride and protection, and also made her plan to talk to Chen Qi after the performance go out of her mind.

However, under the silent gaze of Gao Songdeng, the smile on Li Xi's face, no matter how you look at it, is proof of joy and excitement...

Did my brother's song...help Li Xi see his true feelings?

Brother, you always have such magical power.

Takamatsu Touma, who also had a song written by his brother that suited his mood, could also understand Shiina Tatsuki's feelings at that moment. That feeling of being touched and having someone understand everything about you and writing a song specifically for you is really a wonderful feeling.

Although it seems that this song failed to bring Lixi back, it has already dispelled a lot of the haze in Lixi's heart.

In this way, it would only take a little time for Lixi to slowly return to them.

However, it is precisely because Takamatsu Deng feels the same way that she is now more concerned about Aine’s mood rather than Riki’s return…

After all, it seems that my brother has never written a song for Aine-chan that suits her mood.

When Deng carefully shifted her gaze to Aine, she also noticed Aine beside her. Her extremely neatly trimmed transparent nails were deeply embedded in the soft flesh of her palm, but she was completely unaware of her fist...

Hey.

At this moment, Aine’s mind was completely occupied by this word.

Although Aiyin knew that Brother Qi had also tailored a song for her, there was no comparison between that song that had made Aiyin cheer so much and the song "Spring Thunder" that Chen Qi gave to Lixi now!

Li Xi's song "Spring Thunder" was written by Brother Qi after he fully understood Li Xi's feelings and saw through everything in her heart. It is completely different from his own song, which was just a song that suited her temperament! ⒐

Although Aiyin knew that Mu, Xiangzi, Deng... her brother Qi had written individual songs for them, Aiyin had never been jealous of them.

After all, Aiyin knew very well that they had all left deep marks in Brother Qi's heart. The warmth and care they had given Brother Qi made them worthy of the songs that Brother Qi had written for them.

But Li Xi.

The only person Aine couldn't understand was Shiina Tachikawa.

Why?

Obviously, I cared about Brother Qi more than Li Xi did, and it was me who healed the wounds in Brother Qi's heart.

Why did Brother Qi care about Li Xi, who hurt him in the past, first? In his heart, shouldn't I be the one he should find first?

Reluctance, depression, bitterness...all these emotions were suppressed in Aiyin's heart, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed jealousy when she looked at Lixi. ⒌

She couldn't understand why Li Xi, who had done so many wrong things, could enjoy all this, while she, who had always cared about Chen Qi, couldn't enjoy this happy moment first.

She clearly had the chance to enjoy it all alone, so why did so many people appear to take away her love?

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you for liking this song "Spring Thunder."

"But, what I want to say is that our performance is not over yet. I still have a song here, and I hope to give it to the girl who told me about her feelings."

Aine, Riki, and Deng: "!"

However, at that moment when everyone had their own thoughts, Chen Qi's gentle voice on the stage brought their spirits back to life, and all the girls' eyes were filled with disbelief.

Two songs? Did Qi (Brother Qi) write another song for Li Xi? !

Not only Deng and Aine, even Shiina Riki was standing there stupidly. She had never imagined that she would receive his "favor" so suddenly.

All along, Li Xi just hoped that she would not be left behind by Chen Qi and everyone else and worked very hard. Everything she did was just to keep up with everyone else's pace, and she didn't even dare to imagine "surpassing" anyone.

Even in terms of feelings... perhaps because there are so many people who have deeper feelings than himself and who have a better understanding with the people he likes, Li Xi has never thought that he can surpass anyone in the progress of feelings. As long as he cares about him, he is already satisfied.

But now, this sudden second song made Li Xi a little bit unbelievable. For a moment, she even wondered if it was her own auditory hallucination.

"This song, Spring Thunder, just tells the girl's feelings in love... But this is far from enough as my compensation to her."

"I once only knew how to move forward and ignored the bitterness and helplessness in her heart. So, I want to use this song to sing out the hysterical mood deep in her heart that she is unwilling to express."

"I also hope that after this song, she can return to her ideals, return to the trajectory of her life, and continue to move forward towards the goals she has set long ago."

At this point, Chen Qi's tone paused slightly, but he still calmly revealed the name of the second song he gave to Li Xi.

“The song is called, ‘So I Quit Music.’”

Volume 161: Chapter 160 Chapter : Shiina Riki's shy side is touched

So I gave up music?

When Chen Qi on the stage said the title of this song, which also described Shiina Riki's state of mind, in a calm tone, Riki's body stiffened almost reflexively, and even his heart skipped a beat at this moment.

Almost at the same time as Shiina Riki, the other person who suddenly felt cardiac and respiratory arrest was Hong Xia, who was standing not far away. She had been in a low mood ever since Chen Qi performed with everyone from Ave Mujica.

Unlike Li Xi's subconscious resistance, Hong Xia, whose heart skipped a beat, stared at Chen Qi on the stage with trembling eyes. For the first time, an obvious wavering look appeared on her cute and gentle face.

"Ijichi-san? What's wrong with you?" It seemed that Hongxia's hesitation this time was too obvious. Kita, who was closest to her, noticed Hongxia's hesitation and asked subconsciously.

"…No, I'm fine, Kita-san."

In the face of Kita's concern, Hongxia just forced a smile out of reflex, but the trembling between her eyebrows still described her inner anxiety.

Just because the title of Chen Qi's song inadvertently touched the unspeakable, deepest hidden voice in Hong Xia's heart.

"No, calm down, Ichichi Hongxia." Hongxia forced herself to shake her head, to drive these complicated emotions out of her mind, and murmured to herself in her heart with a forced smile:

"Qi's song was not written for you, so don't think too much about it."

"Besides, Shiina Riki-san doesn't look like someone who would give up music. Maybe Qi also has the wrong ideas sometimes..."

However, even such a statement seemed more and more impossible to Hong Xia. After all, she might not know Shiina Lixi, but at least she knew Chen Qi well enough, and she also clearly understood that Chen Qi and Lixi had known each other for much longer than he had known everyone who had ended the band.

Would Chen Qi be the kind of person who would write a song for Li Xi without being completely sure? Of course not. The previous song "Spring Thunder" caused a stir in Shiina-san, which was enough to prove this point.

However, this song, which obviously suits his mood, was not written for Qi, but for another girl whom he missed and had known for a longer time. This psychological gap made Hong Xia, whose heart was touched by the name of the song, feel a little lost.

There is even a hint of jealousy.

Qi, you went on stage despite your sick body without telling any of us, and even made two new songs in such a short time, was it all just for Shiina-san?

"...No, I'm not jealous of anything. My relationship with Qi is not as close as that with Shiina and the others."

But in the end, Hong Xia just shook her head with a wry smile, trying to numb her touched heart and muttered:

"Besides, Qi's song was not written for me, so it may not really suit my mood."

However, just as Hongxia kept muttering, two drum beats suddenly rang out on the stage that had been silent for a while, as well as the sound of Toyokawa Shoko playing the keyboard, which once again brought Hongxia and the others back to their senses.

The sound of the keyboard seems particularly light, and it seems to be a song with a similar rhythm to "Spring Thunder".

Just when everyone thought that Chen Qi's song didn't seem as heavy as the title she wrote, his soul-touching song that outlined Li Xi's thoughts sounded softly again:

“There’s no point in thinking.”

"Waiting for you under the blue sky."

"The midday breeze blows my thoughts into the afternoon."

"Now what should I do from now on? No one tells me how to move forward."

"Looking into your eyes, unable to say anything, I walked away."

The next second, the sounds of guitar and bass suddenly merged with the piano, catching everyone off guard again. Shiina Riki, who was still uneasy because of the name of the song, was forced to accept Chen Qi's spiritual question again without any psychological preparation.

All of this was naturally in line with Chen Qi's expectations. After "Spring Thunder" had removed Li Xi's disguise of being tough, it was time for Li Xi to vent the weak voices in the deepest part of his heart.

8. If Lixi is not so frank, then let me tell everyone her bitterness on her behalf.

2. “There is no point in thinking, and youth is completely boring.”

㈣ "I have stopped playing the piano, but I can't break the habit of playing on the table."

⑶ “What can we do in the future?”

San "It would be fine as long as I don't make music."

０ “…I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

Wu was as relaxed as usual, as if he had just mentioned his thoughts unintentionally during a chat, but Hongxia and Lixi, who were in a similar mood, felt a shudder in their hearts almost at the same time.

Admittedly, none of them can play the piano, but they can all empathize with the meaning of the lyrics and experience the feeling of being in a habit and unwilling to give up.

Did Shiina Tatsuki ever think about giving up drumming? Of course he did.

During the time when Crychic had just disbanded, no, even earlier than that, when he couldn't bear the pressure brought by Crychic's goal of becoming a professional band for the first time.

No, even earlier than that, when no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with her talented sister in the only musical instrument she had talent for, she had had this thought countless times.

Did Hongxia ever want to give up drumming? Maybe even Liang didn't know, but she definitely did.

Doesn't Hong Xia know that her talent is average? Of course not.
