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

So many girls who are at odds with each other, tit for tat, can they really accept each other's existence? Even if they can temporarily, but over time, will they once again confront each other because of who occupies more of Qi's heart?

If this harem that could be easily broken were to collapse, what else could Chen Qi do?

By then, exhausted both physically and mentally, what choice will he have other than returning to himself, the only person who has supported him from beginning to end?

This is Sanjiao Chuhua's choice. She will not interfere, nor will she leave any handle like Nagasaki Suyo. She will become Chen Qi's most loyal supporter, making him feel more and more clearly in his heart who is the person who supports him the most in this world.

By then, won’t everything about the person you love still belong to you alone?

"The next step for Qi should be Chihaya-san, right? I don't really dislike her - before she beats Qi."

Chuhua, who was muttering to herself, unconsciously glanced at Shiina Riki, who was lying on the recliner and still sleeping soundly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"But fortunately, Shiina-san doesn't seem to like her either."

"And it's not just Chihaya-san. Shoko seems to be having a bad time with everyone. And Mu-chan, she seems to really dislike Nagasaki-san, right?"

"No, she doesn't seem to like anyone. She's only a little happier when she's with Qi..."

This is really a situation that could explode at any time.

In the darkness, there was a gleam of brilliance in Sanjiao Chuhua's amethyst-clear eyes. She was waiting for the collapse of this castle in the air harem plan for the person she loved, just like watching the fun.

But what if Qi really succeeds?

That only showed that my vision was a bit too good. On the contrary, because of my participation, every girl who was able to stay with Chen Qi because of her support would be grateful to her, and Chen Qi was not the kind of person who could not see the situation clearly, so of course he would understand who was the one who supported him the most.

By then, I still need to worry, isn't it me who possesses most of Chen Qi's love?

Yourself, guaranteed no loss!

……

On the other side, Chen Qi walked out of the ward and searched all the way outside the hospital. Finally, he saw the petite figure who was quietly waiting for him near a beverage vending machine at the entrance of the hospital.

"...Hongxia? Why are you here?"

Chen Qi had never expected that he would meet Hong Xia here, who should have left long ago, especially since an hour or two had passed since Chu Hua crawled into his bed and launched a surprise attack on him.

Hongxia had been waiting alone for so long, and Chen Qi had a hunch that Hongxia had something very important that she wanted to confess to him.

"Because I'm worried about Qi's condition. I've troubled Sankaku and Shiina for so long. Everyone who has finished the band is also your friend. As the captain, I should also take care of Qi as a representative. Please take care of Qi~"

Hong Xia, whose delicate face still had a familiar cheerful smile, also smiled brightly and warmly when she noticed Chen Qi approaching:

"Qi, would you like something to drink? But you are recovering from your injuries, so you can't drink your favorite carbonated beverage. How about juice?"

"It doesn't matter, just pick the one you like, Hongxia."

Chen Qi, wearing a hospital gown, waited quietly by the side until Hong Xia handed the can of juice to him.

At that moment, the fingertips of Chen Qi and Hong Xia touched lightly in mid-air, and after a slight pause, Hong Xia quickly withdrew her hand, revealing an unnatural expression for the first time.

On the contrary, Chen Qi didn't have any feelings. He just silently stared at Hong Xia who was facing him sideways, waiting for her to speak.

As the autumn wind blew by, Hong Xia finally spoke to Chen Qi in silence some of the words in her heart that had been suppressed for so long.

"...Qi, I didn't tell you about my family, did I?

"My mother left me a long time ago. At that time, my sister, who was also immersed in the band, gave up her dream and founded the livehouse [Fanxing]."

"Sister, I hope that [Stars] can become a shining place that shines its light on mother."

"And I also want to inherit my sister's wish and let my mother in heaven hear our singing. I hope my mother can see that my sisters and I are doing well and she won't worry too much."

"But I also know that all this is difficult, especially with my own ability... Even if we take Liang into account, it is difficult for us to make Zhongdu'%ｑun：㈨□0′4爬？⑷二→酒◎ˇ隣珸 end the band and become such a shining existence."

"And when I was at my wit's end and almost gave up, Qi, you showed up."

"What's it called in the game? Deus ex machina? At that time, Qi, in my eyes, you were like a god descended to the world."

Recounting everything that had happened in the past, Hong Xia unconsciously focused her trembling gentle gaze on Chen Qi. Hong Xia did not suppress her heartfelt joy and her irrepressible longing for Chen Qi.

"You can play the guitar, write lyrics and compose music, and you have such a strong singing ability and aura. More importantly, Qi, you have experienced the shadow of the failure of the band."

"At that time, Qi, I really felt very lucky in my heart. Everything about you seemed to be made for us to join our band."

"I once naively thought that you were a gift from God and that you were the one who would help me realize this dream."

"But now I understand that I was wrong."

"Why do you say that?" When he noticed a trace of loneliness flashing across Hong Xia's face, his heart tightened unconsciously. He tried to put on a calm smile and approached Hong Xia and asked:

"Could it be that my ability is not enough for you, Hongxia, to realize this ideal?"

"No... this has nothing to do with you." In response, Hong Xia hurriedly shook her head, put on a bitter smile, and said lightly:

"More... it's because of my self-pity."

"Even though Qi has done so much for everyone who ended the band, and even though Qi is right beside us, I still feel that we have never really worked together with Qi for a single moment."

"We have always been relying on Qi, but from beginning to end, we have not been able to help Qi."

...Is this really Hong Xia? For a moment, looking at the Hong Xia in front of him who was smiling bitterly at him, he began to doubt for the first time whether this girl was the cheerful girl in his memory.

Chen Qi naturally knew that behind Hong Xia's seemingly cheerful and sunny smile, it was actually more of an encouragement to himself, but he had never seen Hong Xia really crushed by reality and unable to maintain everything on the surface.

At least in the original book, except for some funny scenes, Chen Qi had never seen it.

And now, everyone who has finished the band is heading towards the Budokan. In such a good situation, why does Hong Xia feel such tremendous pressure?

"Why do you think so, Hongxia?" Chen Qi, who was a little confused, tried to calm Hongxia down first. He shook his head with a forced smile and asked as gently as possible:

"Everyone who ended the band helped me when I was most helpless. Didn't I say that on the day I joined? I need you to help me heal the wounds in my heart."

"And in return, I will stay in the band to help you and guide you. This is what I should do."

㈨ "——But, Qi, do you really still need us now?"

However, what Chen Qi never expected was that Hong Xia's moist lips moved slightly while she was forcing a smile, and she uttered words that made him not know how to respond.

⑷ Seeing Chen Qi's silence, Hong Xia felt that her previous guess was correct. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into Chen Qi's eyes, and whispered to herself;

8 "When Qi joined us, you needed us to heal your wounds. At that time, Qi, there was no one else who could comfort you except us."

Si: "But now... Qi, Liang has told me everything about you. You... want to take all the girls who like you into your pocket, right?"

2 "There will probably be more and more people who care about you in the future, right? Xiao Deng, Xiao Mu, as well as Shiina-san, Chihaya-san and the others...will all come back to you."

"Especially now, there are bands like Ave Mujica, which are much better than us, willing to perform with you, Qi. And aren't they all Qi's friends? The relationship between each of them is closer than ours."

As Ling spoke, the luster in Hongxia's eyes became dimmer, and the bitterness at the corners of her mouth became more obvious.

㈤ Obviously, Hong Xia herself did not want to continue speaking. She knew that her next words would hurt Chen Qi's heart, and would also hurt herself and the hearts of the other people who had ended the band.

However, Hong Xia knew very well that if this continued, Chen Qi would not be able to stay in the band...

Of course, Chen Qi would never propose it himself, but in the future, when everyone in MYGO returns to Chen Qi, and Ave Mujica will be highly bound to Chen Qi, how much energy will Chen Qi have to focus on ending the band?

Today, Chen Qi dragged his injured body onto the stage and almost collapsed on the stage. After the band ends, he will go to a martial arts hall and go through many competitions and training.

In order to win back the girls he likes, Chen Qi has to try his best again and again. In this case, do they still have to continue to rely on Chen Qi's strength?

Even if they continue to rely on Chen Qi's strength, can they really walk onto the stage of the martial arts hall?

Even if he really succeeded, it was only because of Chen Qi's excellence. Everything... was just a false prosperity.

What Senior Tsuzuki said was absolutely right. If Qi were to take this path alone, he would be countless times more successful than he is now. Their existence is actually just holding Chen Qi back.

But Chen Qi no longer needs their comfort. Having lost the only reason that could help Chen Qi, what qualifications do they have to continue to slow down Chen Qi's progress?

At least Xiaodeng and the others like Qi and are part of his harem, which gives Qi sufficient reason to make sacrifices for them.

And the knot thorn ÷'蝟4 discount purchasing: ㈧≯＜⒌∴№㈦≈sulfur〃Lu◆傘私四∏,儿〕束琴里……

Among them, there is not even one person who can naturally become a "burden" to Chen Qi.

"Qi...you don't have to force yourself to consider our feelings."

“No matter how powerful a hero is, there will be times when he is powerless, right? Embrace everything that is more important to you, and don’t let us hold you back, okay?”

If I see you again paying something for us and falling down like today.

I really don’t know what I should do to repay you for all you have done for us.

"Even if I can't help anymore, I don't want to cause trouble for Qi anymore... This is the last thing I can do."

As he spoke, under the dim light outside the hospital, Chen Qi vaguely saw Hong Xia trying to show a trace of relief in her smile, and a few crystal tears in her eyes slowly slid down...

"Don't make me feel bad for you anymore, and don't make me feel so powerless anymore, okay?"

"Just think of it as my selfishness, Qi, if you want, you can withdraw..."

However, before Hong Xia could even utter the words "quit the band", she swallowed them back into her stomach the next second.

It wasn't that Hong Xia couldn't bear to say these words, but Chen Qi stretched out his hand and covered her mouth, forcing Hong Xia to interrupt the unfinished words.

At that moment, Hong Xia's eyes unconsciously widened a few points. Although Chen Qi had not said anything at this time, Chen Qi's actions had already made Hong Xia understand his choice.

He finally made his choice and continued to help those who would drag him down.

but why?

Qi obviously didn't need them anymore, so why did he still...

"——What you said is correct, Hongxia."

However, Chen Qi's words in the next second responded to Hong Xia's confusion. But Chen Qi's attitude at this time was different from his usual gentle attitude. He gave Hong Xia an answer that showed an extremely rare tough attitude.

"If you talk about it from an emotional perspective, I really didn't intend to include everyone who left the band in my harem at the beginning. From a technical perspective, Xiangzi and the others really need to cooperate better with me. You are right about all of this."

"But unfortunately, if you had told me about your mother and your and the Star Song store manager's wishes, I would never have quit ending the band."

"...Ah?" Hong Xia looked at Chen Qi in front of her with a somewhat bewildered expression, but Chen Qi was extremely serious and answered word by word:

"Hongxia, you should know me better, right? I prefer girls who need more help and make me feel more distressed."

"I'm sorry, Hongxia, but when you told me all this, you were already on my 'favorite' list. I will not sit idly by and watch your long-cherished wish come true."

"Now, the reason why I stay in the band is no longer because I need you, but because I favor Hong Xia. How about this reason?"

After listening to Hong Xia's long monologue, Chen Zhongqi finally understood why Hong Xia was so depressed today.

After all, it turned out that it was because of Ave Mujica's collaboration with herself today that Hongxia felt that they would not win if they ended the band, and she felt that she was holding him back, so she felt there was no reason to keep him.

In that case, Chen Qi will find a reason for Hong Xia to keep Chen Qi with peace of mind.

Besides, what Chen Qi said was not a lie, he did have a "preference" for Hong Xia.

This preference, in addition to the initial love for the character of Hong Xia, now has more reasons.

He wants to restore Hongxia's former cheerfulness. In order for Hongxia's dream to come true, he must help Hongxia bring the band to a bigger stage.

"Prefer, prefer?!"

However, Chen Qi's choice of words made Hong Xia, who was originally in a trance, misunderstand something all of a sudden. Especially when combined with Chen Qi's plan to start a harem, which was no longer a secret, it made Hong Xia think of something bad.

In particular, Hong Xia also felt that Chen Qi was not joking. He seemed to prefer girls with more difficult fates.

For example, Toyokawa Shoko, Chuhua who needed help before, Xiaomu, Xiaodeng... these girls are the ones that Qi can't let go of in his heart now.

Could it be that... Qi is more interested in this type of girls?

"Well, even if you say so, Qi, I will not join your harem." Hong Xia, with blushing cheeks, also righteously chose to refuse. She is a pure love faction!

In response to this, Chen Qi just remained silent for a while, then showed a mysterious smile to Hong Xia, and replied with a faint smile facing Hong Xia's slightly red cheeks:

"...Who knows?"

"If you are determined enough, Hongxia, then when I help you realize your wish, please don't fall in love with me."

Sorry, Ryo, I might have to break my promise.

Although I really had no intention of taking action against those who ended the band at the beginning, now that I have decided to help Hongxia realize this wish, I cannot guarantee that this situation can be avoided.

Hongxia now needs a success to calm her heart, and I must do this now.

"I will let Hongxia's mother in heaven hear our singing, for sure."

"..."

At night, Hong Xia stared blankly at the big boy who had made such a solemn promise to her. She wanted to stop bothering Chen Qi, but she could no longer say the words of rejection.

On the other side, standing in a corner, Liang, wearing a white coat, leaned silently against the wall, listening to the whispers of Chen Qi and Hong Xia, but she remained silent.

Liang didn't know what her mood was at the moment. Bitterness, relief, depression, joy... all kinds of complicated emotions converged in her heart, making her not know whether she should blame Chen Qi for breaking his promise, or be happy that he could protect Hong Xia.

However, one thing was very clear to Liang, that is, her love, which had originally calmed down, seemed to have been frustrated again just now...
