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

When he thought of this, Chen Qi felt his neck, which had been bitten by Li Xi more than once, begin to hurt again. But after grimacing for a while, Chen Qi was fully prepared and silently pushed the door open.

"Click."

"Lixi..."

After a while, Chen Qi entered the classroom and finally saw the figure of Shiina Riki.

But this time, when Chen Qi saw Li Xi again after a week, after calling his name, he swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach as if there was something stuck in his throat, and he was reluctant to say them out.

I saw Shiina Riki sitting alone on a not-so-high desk. The curtains in the classroom had all been drawn, but the sunlight seeping in from the window still illuminated Riki, making her look like plum blossoms under the snow in winter, touching and perfect.

With her delicate face and the teardrop mole under her eyes, as long as she doesn't speak, she looks like a perfect ice beauty.

This time, Shiina Riki, whose cheeks were a little red like peach blossoms, finally cast her eyes towards Chen Qi when she noticed his arrival. Her face was so calm that there was no trace of the awkwardness, ferocity or pain in her face. Her lips, which were rosy as cherry blossoms, made a very lovely and peaceful sound for the first time:

　Uncle≯Four;№Eight↓△Two⊙'⒋⒊∮Three*～琳《'㈤Hedgehog4Fold〉(Purchasing agent: "...You are here."

"In the past, you and I were always arguing. Thinking about it, it seems that I have never been nice to you once."

"…So, this time, I want you to see what I look like when I am calm and at peace."

Gradually, as if he was not used to being like this, Shiina Riki looked away awkwardly, and his words became a little hesitant, but he still forced himself to say the words that he was not used to.

"Why, what's the matter...don't be silent."

"——Super cute."

This time, Chen Qi came back to his senses without any hesitation. Looking at the shy Shiina Lixi, who was like a bud waiting to be plucked, he gave Lixi encouragement and affirmation as always with a faint smile without any compliments.

"Not only is she cute, but I also like her like this."

"..."

Chen Qi didn't wait for a reply, but he could see Shiina Riki's red ears. After turning away, she said in a cute voice with a hint of embarrassment, as if she was acting like a spoiled child:

"...Idiot, I hate you so much."

Chapter 1:

Chapter 162 Chapter 161: The battle between Shiina Tatsuki and Chihaya Aine, will Aine lose?

It’s not like Shiina Tatsuki hasn’t been praised for being cute, of course, that was when she was very young.

At that time, Li Xi did not have the sharp and violent personality she has now. As her sister's follower and the youngest sister in the family, although Li Xi did not have the outstanding talents in music, study, interpersonal communication, etc. like her sister, she did inherit the family's good looks.

Scar and this is the only place where Li Xi thinks he can surpass his sister, especially the teardrop mole under the corner of his eye. During his growing up, his parents praised it many times as if it were a treasure.

However, appearance is actually what Lixi thinks is the most insignificant aspect. What she has always hoped is that everyone can recognize her abilities, rather than being a vase, relying on her naturally excellent appearance to receive everyone's flattery and fawning wherever she goes.

If that's the case, then what's the difference between me and those women in the dance area on the Internet who can make money just by wearing slightly revealing clothes and moving their bodies?

Therefore, Shiina Riki retains her sharp personality, which in a sense is also reducing the preference of people around her for her appearance. She does not want the friends around her to be close to her because of her appearance.

This is why, after so much time, Li Xi only has Hachiman Kailing as a good friend who shares the same attitude towards music as him.

⒊But now, facing Chen Qi’s praise of her, Li Xi’s attitude seemed to have changed a little subtly?

Si: "Cute or something... please don't compliment me, I don't buy it."

Something like, "You've never said this to me before, so you must be saying this just to please me, right?"

Shiina Lixi, whose cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, also turned away her eyes in embarrassment. However, Lixi's shy attitude, which she had never shown before, made Chen Qi tremble all over as if he had been electrocuted.

Not good, it's a bit too cute.

Although I knew before that Li Xi was an absolute iceberg beauty as long as she didn't speak, I didn't expect that after she calmed down, she would have such a strong lethality.

But Chen Qi thought about it again. He really had never praised Li Xi's appearance before. On the one hand, after all, Crychic and MYGO, they were all beautiful girls. If he only praised Li Xi, it would be difficult to avoid arguments about "who is prettier", and the judge would definitely be him, a man...

On the other hand, Chen Qi didn't want Li Xi to think that her praise meant that she was "good for nothing except her face."

However, as Chen Qi looked at Li Xi's shy posture, he once again used his emotional intelligence to make a judgment - Li Xi's current look was undoubtedly saying to him "hurry up and praise me more"!

Chen Qi also did not forget what his ultimate goal was.

Therefore, Li Xi is now in a rare state of zero defense. If we don’t empty Li Xi’s health bar now, when will we do so?

"This is not a compliment. Lixi is very cute." Chen Qi chose to maintain his usual sincere attitude. He slowly approached Shiina Lixi who was sitting on the desk. He keenly noticed Lixi's slightly trembling body, and the little movements of glancing at him from time to time and then quickly forcing himself to look away.

However, facing Chen Qi's approach, Li Xi, who could have resisted, did not resist at all. On the contrary, facing Chen Qi who was getting closer and closer to him, Li Xi closed his eyes tightly as if he was trying to cover his ears and steal a bell, and replied with trembling:

"How is that possible! If that's true, then why was our relationship the worst when we were in Crychic?"

"Forget about Deng. She is your sister and she is very cute. It is normal for you to prefer Deng..."

"But how do you explain it, Xiangzi? You were so partial to her! There is nothing similar between her and me, right? If you like that kind of flavor, what does it have to do with me?"

As Shiina Riki spoke, he seemed to be recalling the unpleasant past again, and his tone had a strange sourness.

"And Mu, you're obviously better to Mu, right? Even Nagasaki Suyo has a better relationship with me than you and I do! You even lived with her, right?!"

How did you know this? Chen Qi also blinked, but soon thought of what Su Shi had done to make Li Xi quit, and he didn't find it strange.

"Even Chihaya Aine... She knew you much later than I did, but you were more gentle to her than to me..."

"Even Triangle-san is faster than me. Your relationship with Triangle-san must be complicated!"

As she spoke, a few tears oozed out of Shiina Riki's eyes, and her remaining stubbornness made her resist emotionally for the last time. She said to Chen Qi unhappily:

"Aren't they all cuter and more dazzling than me in your eyes? Why don't you just go find them? Why are you bothering me?"

"I don't have a good figure like Su Shi, nor am I as considerate as Deng, nor do I devote myself to you as wholeheartedly as Mu, and I don't have the ability to act like a spoiled child like Chihaya Aine! It's even more impossible for me to have a natural tacit understanding with you that resonates with my soul like Sankaku-san!"

"Go find them! There are so many people who like you, why do you always have to——"

However, just as Shiina Riki was talking to herself with her eyes closed, and was even beginning to complain one-sidedly about jealousy, a warm breath hitting her face seemed to make Riki's hair stand on end subconsciously, and she suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head away.

And the next second, just when Lixi's eyes noticed the cheek so close to him, the slight touch of her lips made Lixi's brain go blank.

"Snapped!"

It was almost a conditioned reflex. Before Li Xi's mind could even react, his palm had already hit Chen Qi's face.

However, although this small slap successfully separated the lips of Chen Qi and Li Xi that had just touched, Chen Qi did not distance himself from Li Xi.

Chen Qi rubbed his cheek that was hit by Li Xi with one hand, while still maintaining a faint smile. He looked at Li Xi, whose cheeks were flushed after realizing it, and asked with a chuckle:

"How about it, Lixi? Will this make you stop complaining?"

"You, what are you doing!"

Shiina Riki, who was extremely ashamed and angry, wanted to punch Chen Qi, but when he thought of the injuries on Chen Qi's body that had not yet healed, he stopped his action abruptly.

All of a sudden, he couldn't hit her, and he didn't know how to scold her. With shame and anger mixed together, Li Xi's face turned red and a few tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes.

"This, this was my first kiss... and I lost it because you were so careless... It's all your fault!"

"You, take responsibility for this!"

"——Of course." Finally getting the answer he wanted, Chen Qi didn't have to worry about being rejected this time. He didn't hesitate any more and after giving an affirmative answer to Li Xi who was close to him, he made his response.

The next second, Li Xi stared at Chen Qi's cheek with dilated eyes as he approached her again. After feeling the clear touch on her lips, her heart, which had been beating wildly, suddenly calmed down after a moment's pause.

At first, there was some resistance, but as time went on, Li Xi's resistance became smaller and smaller. Gradually, he was completely immersed in it while crying...

Even when Chen Qi felt that Lixi was uncomfortable and thought he should stop, Shiina Lixi seemed to have sensed his thoughts and quickly pressed the back of Chen Qi's head with both hands.

Li Xi's moist and unyielding eyes were filled with the meaning of "I haven't let you go yet", forcing Chen Qi to stay with her to the end.

I don't know how long it took, one minute? Or five minutes? It was not until the temperature of Shiina Riki's body had soaked her whole body with sweat and her face was flushed to the point where blood was dripping out that everything was declared over.

Although Shiina Riki's first performance was better than Chuhua and Deng's, he still returned in defeat. The moment he landed on his heels, all his strength seemed to be taken away, and he collapsed in Chen Qi's arms.

“Haha ...

"...It's all your fault." She leaned her cheek gently against Chen Qi's arms. After experiencing such ups and downs today, her heart was completely opened by Chen Qi's two songs. She had nothing to hide in front of Chen Qi, and she could no longer hold back her emotions:

"You're the one who made me like this. I can't pretend to be strong like before. I can't even become a lone wolf again..."

"I won't let you become a lone wolf again, Lixi."

Chen Qi listened to Li Xi's sobbing voice in front of his chest, silently enduring the weakness of this girl who always pretended to be strong, only showing it when facing him, and said word by word in her ear:

"Lixi, come back with us, let go of everything in the past, and start over again, okay?"

However, this time Chen Qi did not get a quick response from Shiina Lixi. On the contrary, after a long silence, Lixi unconsciously grabbed Chen Qi's clothes on his chest with both hands and responded with sobs:

"Thank you...Qi, thank you for doing so much for me. At least, you gave me the opportunity to understand that I actually like you so much."

"But I can't stay, otherwise what will happen to the lights?"

His mind gradually calmed down from the initial excitement, and Shiina Riki once again thought of his other friends who also had a strong liking for Chen Qi.

Not to mention Nagasaki Suyo for now, Li Xi felt no guilt at all for "betraying" her. After all, she was the one who attacked him first. Even if he really did that, it was just a response to her actions.

Xiangzi? Then Li Xi felt even less guilty. This was not considered betrayal. To be more precise, she was helping Chen Qi escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Aiyin? Sorry, Li Xi didn't think of her.

But it was Gao Songdeng who made Li Xi feel helpless from the bottom of her heart. Li Xi didn't know how she should win over Deng. Her position in Chen Qi's heart meant that if she really loved her brother, she would not even have the chance to resist.

After all, how could she possibly convince Chen Qi to leave his sister, with whom he had lived for more than ten years?

Even if Chen Qi could do it, what about her? Could she just occupy Deng's favorite and most inseparable brother with a clear conscience?

"Deng, she relies on you so much and has given her whole body and soul to you. You can't give up on her, right?"

"If I really snatch you away, what will happen to Deng? If Deng does something stupid, will you still be happy even if we are together?"

"Let's end it like this... You, go back to the lamp."

As she said this, just as Shiina Riki gradually loosened her hands that were holding Chen Qi's clothes, she felt her hands being held by Chen Qi again.

And this time, Chen Qi's hands were particularly strong, and he had no intention of letting her escape.

"What are you doing?" Li Xi's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but facing Chen Qi's restraints, Li Xi asked in a serious tone:

"Are you really going to give up everything for me?"

If Chen Qi really did this, Li Xi would of course be happy from his own perspective.

But Li Xi hoped that Chen Qi would not regret his actions. Although she also loved this man to the point of being hopeless, she would not want to die just because Chen Qi was not around, and she would not be completely inseparable from him.

But Gao Songdeng was different. Li Xi understood that with Deng's mental state, she would definitely not be able to bear such a blow if Chen Qi left her.

Shiina Riki would rather not have her own happiness in exchange for hurting others. If so, what is the difference between her and Xiangzi, whom she cannot forgive the most, and Nagasaki Suyo, who is confused?

"What about you, Li Xi?" Chen Qi certainly understood what Li Xi was thinking, but he asked Li Xi with a wry smile: "What about your happiness? Are you going to just give it up like this?" Lu

"No, I won't do that. Li Xi, you just said that you want me to be responsible, right? Since I promised you, I will not let you go no matter what."

"Then what do you say we should do?" Looking at Chen Qi who was unwilling to give up on him, Li Xi felt a little sweeter in his heart, but he still replied angrily:

"Can you convince Deng to let me and her date you at the same time?!"

For a moment, Shiina Riki had such an absurd thought in his mind, and he shouted it out without thinking.

However, after Li Xi's mood gradually calmed down, she fell into a strange silence when she met Chen Qi's surprised eyes.

"...Lixi, if I can do what you just said."

"Are you...still willing to stay with me?"

Shiina Riki: “——Huh?!”

"boom!"

However, just as Shiina Riki had just realized what Chen Qi meant and showed his silver teeth again, returning to his previous angry expression of confronting Chen Qi, the door of the classroom was violently pushed open without any warning.

“Aine-chan, wait—”

Outside the door, Gao Songdeng's delayed hand failed to stop Chihaya Aine who had entered the classroom. As Chen Qi watched, he only saw Aine approaching him aggressively with her red eyes.

This time, Chen Qi, who had already anticipated what would happen, chose to close his eyes and wait for Aiyin to hit his other cheek until it became red and swollen.

If this is the price he pays for having a harem, then it's already a bargain for him.

"Snapped!"

The next second, the crisp sound echoed in the classroom again, and Chen Qi felt the burning pain on his face again, and then he opened his eyes calmly.

But this time, what Chen Qi and Takamatsu Deng outside the door did not expect was that after witnessing this scene, Shiina Riki in Chen Qi's arms did the same action to Aine without thinking.

"Snapped!"

The force of this slap was completely different from the one Li Xi had reflexively slapped at Chen Qi's face before. At least Aiyin, who didn't have time to say anything, staggered a step, and her beautiful pink hair was a little messy from the slap.

"Ain." Chen Qi was also startled by Li Xi's actions. His heart ached and he wanted to go forward to support Ai Yin, but he never expected to be pushed away by Li Xi.
