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

"Hello, Xiao Mu, it's so early today? Did the class end quickly?"

Mu: “Yeah.”

In fact, it was not that the course ended quickly, but Mu was not in the mood to participate. For Mu, meeting Xiangzi and completing the commission given to her by Chen Qi was the top priority.

Although his parents might find out later and he would be punished by having to make up lessons and double his study time, for Mu, these were still tolerable.

Su Shi was not clear about Mu's thoughts. What Su Shi was more concerned about was what Mu had told her yesterday, that she and Xiao Xiang had gone to watch a live show together.

Nagasaki Sushi was not very sure that the person that Mu and Xiangzi went to meet was definitely Chen Qi, but the moment this idea appeared in her mind, it could not be shaken off, and Sushi could not help tossing and turning again after such a long time.

If Xiaomu and Xiaoxiang went to see Aqi, why didn't Xiaomu want to tell me the truth? Have I done anything to let Aqi down?

Also, it was Xiaoxiang who ruined everything in the first place, so why is Aqi still willing to see Xiaoxiang?

More importantly, was this their first meeting in half a year, or had they actually met many times in the past six months? Did he just happen to notice it that time?

After such a long time, Nagasaki Suyo once again encountered something that seemed to be related to Chen Qi. Her heart, which had been silent for a long time, unconsciously became active again.

Su Shi didn't want to find out the truth, she just wanted to meet Chen Qi and see how he was doing during the six months since she had lost contact with him.

This is the only wish she has...

"Xiao Mu, was the live show you and Xiao Xiang watched last time good?"

"Yeah, very exciting." Mu nodded and responded to Su Shi's words indifferently, but other than that, she didn't say anything else.

But, how could Mu not understand Su Shi's hint? She was actually struggling, struggling over whether to inform herself, the only person who could be called a "companion" in Crychic besides Chen Qi, of Chen Qi's whereabouts.

Because Mu himself knew very well that Chen Qi’s life was not going well now... He was as lonely as himself, and there was not even a familiar person around him.

Although Mu was very happy to accompany Chen Qi all the time, she also knew that this was not realistic. If her family found out that she had been having so many private interactions with Chen Qi in the past six months, and her parents knew about it, she would most likely be grounded and would never see Chen Qi again.

What worries Mu even more is Xiangzi...

Although Xiangzi's plan to form a band has been temporarily put on hold, Chen Qi now knows about Xiangzi's stubbornness and he will definitely not sit idly by.

There should be someone who takes care of Chen Qi at all times, not only taking care of his daily life, but also paying attention to his mental state.

Otherwise, if he continues to work like this, he will even die earlier than Xiangzi... He will be completely ruined both physically and mentally.

But Mu has not yet chosen this person, or rather, even if Mu has chosen one, she doesn't know how to make Chen Qi accept her kindness.

Having been with Chen Qi for such a long time, Mu could be said to have witnessed how Chen Qi struggled to get up from his shattered dreams, and how he went from being down and out to becoming a self-reliant person. Mu just hoped that... Chen Qi could live a little easier and think more about himself.

Originally, Chen Qi's life was gradually getting back on track and everything was fine. However, everything started to change when Xiangzi met her by chance.

The appearance of Xiangzi once again awakened Chen Qi's caring nature. His life, which had just improved a little, might be disturbed again because of Xiangzi.

Who can help him...Mu's eyes were a little dim. Her own strength was too limited, and she couldn't always be by Chen Qi's side. It would be great if there was someone that both Chen Qi and herself could trust who could take care of him a little.

Of course, there is another option in Mu's mind, an option that she would never think of before, but now she has to think about it.

However, Mu does not want to implement this option for the time being, because it may add unnecessary burden to Chen Qi, so this is something Mu will never do until the very end.

For a moment, Mu was at a loss and had to remain silent. When Su Shi saw Mu remained silent, a trace of loneliness and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

After being with me for such a long time, am I still an untrustworthy person in your heart, Xiaomu?

But just before Su Shi tried to hide his emotions and change the subject with a forced smile, suddenly, a notification sound from the cell phone caught Su Shi's attention.

"Is it a message from Li Xi?" When Su Shi opened her phone, she was surprised by the person who sent the message on Line. After a few glances at each other, she subconsciously said:

"'Su Shi, are you and He Mu together? If you are both here, please come to RiNG as soon as possible. We have something important to discuss. Remember to bring your musical instruments.'"

"Xiao Mu, Li Xi seems to have something to talk to us about. Do you want to go with us?"

"Well, I'll go."

This time, Mu's answer was firm and decisive. But Mu wasn't really interested in what Shiina Riki had to say, she just subconsciously felt something was wrong when she heard Riki suddenly say that he wanted to gather them.

Ever since Crychic disbanded, Xiangzi's withdrawal from the band, and Chen Qi's disappearance, everyone in the band has generally lost contact in the past six months. But why does Lixi want to get them back together at this critical juncture?

Could it be that Xiang Heqi's whereabouts have been exposed?

No, if that were the case, Li Xi probably wouldn't be so proactive. After all, she was the one who wanted to drive Qi away in the first place...

So, it was Deng? She was the only one who had a reason to go back to Qi.

Mu had countless guesses in her mind, and finally decided to go to RiNG with Su Shi. No matter what Li Xi or Deng were planning, as long as it was related to Qi, she had to know it clearly.

Qi, there is no need to have anything to do with these people who hurt him.

They didn't know how to cherish it the first time, and when they lost it and got it back the second time... they would only repeat the same mistake.

What Mu didn't know was that beside her, Nagasaki Su Shi actually thought of Chen Qi the first time Li Xi sent the message. Although Su Shi didn't know Chen Qi's whereabouts, she was very clear that Li Xi sent the message so urgently, it might be related to Chen Qi.

After all, the disbandment of Crychic... In addition to making Su Shi full of prejudice against Xiangzi, the second person Su Shi disliked was his former good friend, Shiina Ritsuki.

Lixi should have been clear about this, which is why she had almost no communication with the band members in the past six months.

But Li Xi's eagerness to gather everyone now seemed to have revealed some of her true thoughts deep in her heart...

In fact, the ones who are looking forward to finding Chen Qi may not only be Su Shi, Mu Hedeng, but even Li Xi, who always quarrels with him and even committed a taboo when the band disbanded, may be looking forward to really finding that person.

……

Mu, Su Shi: "Forming a new band?"

Deng: "Well, I want to form a new band to bring Qi back, or at least... let him hear our voices!"

After Mu and Su Shi came to "RiNG" together, they also met many people they were familiar with. If the only person they didn't know, Aine, was replaced by Xiangzi or Chen Qi, they even had the illusion that Crychic had been rebuilt.

Of course, Takamatsu Deng also introduced Chihaya Aine to his former friends in a particularly grand manner.

After all, after witnessing Aine's original ability, in Takamatsu Deng's heart, Aine's ability can almost be said to be comparable to that of her brother Chen Qi.

As for Deng, the new band had Aiyin, which was a great help. After Chen Qi left him, he was already in a dilemma of not being able to sing. He could also use Aiyin's aura, which was the same as his brother's, to muster up the courage to sing.

Aine is completely indispensable to the current Tomotsu Takamatsu. Therefore, in front of a large number of former Crychic members, Tomotsu Takamatsu also worked hard to strengthen his determination to make everyone accept Aine's joining.

"Suyo, Komu, Aine-chan is the new member I found."

"Aine-chan is really amazing. Not only can she write lyrics and compose music, she can even create her own original songs. I think if Aine-chan joins our new band, she will definitely become one of the core members of our band."

"Oh? If that's the case, you have really good taste, Deng-chan."

And when Su Shihemu heard that Aine, the only one who was not a former member of Crychic, actually had such strong personal abilities, he was subconsciously surprised, but soon showed a completely different expression.

Why does Aiyin have the feeling of Qi?

Although it was the first time he met Aine, Mu, like Deng, sensed a familiar scent from Aine at first sight.

And because Mu had met Chen Qi frequently in the past six months, she didn't think this was an illusion. Mu was almost certain that Aiyin had seen Chen Qi at least once in the past day, and not often!

But why did Qi meet this girl so many times? Are they... related?

Is this the child that Deng Jiang found to replace Aqi and Xiangzi? On the other hand, Nagasaki Suyo, who is very good at perceiving people's hearts, saw through Takamatsu Deng's thoughts at a glance, and also knew very well what Aine's position in the so-called new band was.

When Su Shi first heard that it was Takamatsu Deng who took the initiative to propose forming a new band, she was very surprised.

After all, after spending so much time together in Crychic, Su Shi knew very well that once Chen Qi was no longer around, Deng would hardly say a word on her own initiative, and most of her interactions in the team were only with her brother.

It was not until now, when Takamatsu Deng explained the reason why she formed a new band, which was to find Chen Qi, and that she had also found an Aine who could replace Chen Qi, that Su Shi understood why Takamatsu Deng had such confidence.

However, Su Shi's idea is different from Takamatsu Deng's.

In other words, Su Shi was very happy to accept Takamatsu Deng's original intention of bringing Aqi back to the band, but she could not accept that anyone could replace Aqi's position in the band.

As for Xiangzi, she doesn't care.

But without Aqi in the band, there was no point for Su Shi to stay any longer.

Su Shi had already fully realized this when she suspected that Xiangzi and Chen Qi were dating and planned to quit Crychic.

Of course, Su Shi would not say such a thing. So, she chose to ask Gao Songdeng with a gentle smile:

"Deng-chan, I'm very happy that you are willing to muster up the courage to form a new band."

"But Deng-chan, I still want to know, after we find Aqi, what are your plans? Do you hope Aqi will come back? Or do you simply want to find him?"

"That, that..."

However, the moment Su Shi asked this question, the atmosphere on the scene fell into a strange silence. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Deng. Obviously, everyone was paying special attention to this important issue.

Does Gao Songdeng want to find his brother? Of course.

In other words, there is probably no one else in the band who wants to find Chen Qi more strongly than Deng.

However, the reason why Deng was unable to speak out this idea was largely because she knew that if the band was only established to find her brother, then the moment her brother returned, someone would probably quit, and the first to be affected would probably be Li Xi or Aine-chan!

There is no need to say much about Lixi, even Deng knows that Lixi is still indignant about his brother's behavior. If it weren't for Aiyin this time, she alone would not be able to persuade Lixi to join.

And more importantly, it was Aine-chan.

If the future brother really comes back...what should Aine do? If Aine's job as an arranger and lyricist is taken away by her brother, what will Aine's place in the band be?

Aine-chan was the first friend who stood up to help her find her brother. If she found her brother, where would she put Aine-chan?

Have you really thought about these issues? Can you really handle them perfectly?

Takamatsu Deng, who was the leader of the team for the first time, didn't realize until today how much pressure her brother had to bear. She was almost shaking with fear just thinking about that scene. How did Qi manage to be so calm every day, even on the day Xiangzi quit?

"Tsk, let me make it clear in advance that my joining in has nothing to do with finding that guy."

Before Deng could speak, Li Xi at the side spoke first: "I just want to prove my ability and prove that our band can still be excellent without him. If you want to bring that guy back, I will be the first to oppose it."

"Really? Li Xi is really stubborn."

However, although Aiyin did not seem to agree with Riki's words, she was actually somewhat moved by Su Shi's question.

Yes, why didn't she think of it? In the future, the band can also bring Brother Qi into the band! In this way, she can form a band with Brother Qi, and this band may continue to run!

Even if Brother Qi doesn’t join the band in the future…it doesn’t matter!

If Deng's band was originally established just to find Brother Qi, and Brother Qi did not return, then it can only mean that Brother Qi was not moved, right? Or was it because the past events of the band had dealt him such a heavy blow that he did not want to come back?

If this is the result, then at least Brother Qi should still rent the small house in their family's home and not go home with Deng and the others, right?

Anyway, Brother Qi will not be separated from me, and I don’t have to worry that I might be sad if Brother Qi moves away in the future.

When she thought of this, Aine felt much more relaxed, and the smile on her face suddenly softened.

Of course, if possible, Aiyin still hopes that Qi Ge and her sister can be reunited. After all, family is family and they are inseparable.

If Brother Qi always has such a thorn in his heart, I guess he won't be happy in the future, right?

Aiyin doesn't want to be anyone's substitute. The reason why she calls Chen Qi "Brother Qi" is not because she wants to be the second Takamatsu Deng.

"I...will not join."

Just when everyone had different thoughts, suddenly, the light voice from Mu broke the silence.

However, under everyone's gaze, Mu, who used to be even worse at expressing his thoughts than Deng in Crychic, shook his head with an extremely clear attitude this time, and said to everyone word by word with a calm face and tone:

"I won't be joining the band of lights, I'm sorry."

"Mu..."

In response to Mu's calm words, Takamatsu Deng slowly stood up subconsciously. Although they were both members of the band, the number of times Deng and Mu had talked could really be counted on ten fingers.

But this time, facing a band that was almost formed, and clearly about to see the scene where his singing voice would be passed on to his brother, Takamatsu really didn't want to give up so quickly.

Therefore, Deng tried hard to muster up his courage and looked Mu in the eyes, but the tone he finally spoke was still somewhat fragile and cautious, and he asked softly:

"Mu, can you tell me why?"

Mu was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about what Chen Qi had said to her. However, the stimulation deep in his heart made Mu speak out his true thoughts without hesitation.

"Because I think you don't deserve to have him back."

"..."

However, when Mu said this, everyone's expressions were surprised at first, but soon, the three former members of Crychic also understood what Mu said and shut up.

After all, when the band disbanded, Mu was the only one who spoke up for Chen Qi. And in the past, Mu had received so much care from Chen Qi, so it seemed reasonable that she didn't want Chen Qi to return to this band, which was mostly composed of the original Crychic members.

Aiyin was the only one who didn't quite understand, but Mu's words still made her pay some attention... Could this girl also be Qi Ge's good friend?

"Wait, Mu, I think we should think about it again."

At this moment, Su Shi at the side broke the heavy atmosphere with a gentle voice. The next moment, Su Shi took the initiative to come in front of Mu, and said softly with a gentle effect that seemed to be able to tolerate everything:

"Xiao Mu, I know you still have resentment about the past, but I think our top priority is to find Ah Qi first, don't you agree?"

"No one of us knows where Aqi is right now. We are all very worried about him. Deng-chan just hopes to see Aqi again, find out if his brother is doing well, and then apologize to Aqi sincerely."

"Xiao Mu, although I don't understand why Aqi ran away from home, I think Aqi must want to hear Dengjiang's voice, so that he can feel better, don't you think?"
