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

But, if I really did this, would my brother... really stay?

……

"Hello everyone, meow meow~ This is Meow Mengqin's channel~ We are now at 'RiNG', one of the best livehouses in Tokyo. We are now in the studio~"

In the studio, there was a slim figure that was particularly eye-catching. In the studio crowded with people, there was a pretty girl with short purple hair and beautiful clothes. She was holding her mobile phone in her hand and recording everything around her in recording mode.

This person is undoubtedly one of the friends invited by Chen Qi, and also Chen Qi's biggest creditor, Yutian Temple Wakamushi. Of course, she usually only claims to be the nickname of "Meow Dream" by the blogger.

"Let's take a look around the studio now. It's really big. Although we have to stand to watch the show, it's rare to see a studio that can accommodate hundreds of people."

"Then next is my companion. First, let's take a look at our handsome guy, the rookie artist's little—Ah, ah, ah?!"

"Ms. Yutenji." However, facing Miao Meng who was somewhat unresponsive, Xiangzi, who snatched the phone from Miao Meng's hand, looked at her with a rather cold expression, and said with reason:

"Although filming is not prohibited in the studio, Chen Qi and Chu Hua are artists after all. If you film them casually like this, it will affect their lives and reputations."

Especially, the scene where Chu Hua and Chen Qi were standing together. Xiangzi did not say this directly. But at this moment, Chen Qi, who was standing next to her, opened his mouth at the right time:

"Xiangzi, don't make it difficult for Miao Meng. After all, I asked her to help promote Deng and the others this time. If she doesn't take the photo, then there would be no point in me inviting Miss Miao Meng, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, after all, Xiaoqi is more reasonable~ Xiangzi is really mean in comparison~"

With Chen Qi speaking up for her, Miao Meng happily took back her phone from the helpless Xiangzi.

However, this time, Miao Meng did learn his lesson. He did not turn the camera towards Chen Qi and Chu Hua, but instead pointed it directly at the stage and his own face.

"I see. The next band to perform is the band formed by Senior Chen Qi's sister?"

On the other side, Chuhua, who was standing with Chen Qi, Xiangzi, and Hailing, also used a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses to cover her face tightly. She looked at the Live program list and asked Chen Qi beside her with curiosity:

"Takamatsu Deng... But Senior Chen Qi seems to be..."

"I was adopted by Deng's parents." Chen Qi did not mind his life experience in this life, and explained softly to Chu Hua beside him: "When I was about eight years old, Deng was only five years old. Deng can be regarded as my sister who grew up under my care."

"Oh, yes, sorry..."

Chu Hua also reacted and realized that he had just asked a very stupid question. He should have guessed this possibility when he saw that Chen Qi and Deng had different surnames.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, Chuhua." Chen Qi didn't feel that his life experience in this life was heavy. Even in his previous life, it was his grandparents who took care of him. After the two elders passed away, he experienced his parents' divorce, family reorganization, and indifference from family members.

In comparison, even though Chen Qi is not the biological son of Mr. and Mrs. Gao Song in this life, he can still feel their love and care for him.

"Rather, Chuhua, you should think I'm lucky. If I hadn't met Deng, I probably wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't have met you all."

Chu Hua: "Senior Chen Qi, it seems like he really takes good care of his sister."

"Yeah..." Chen Qi also took a long breath, and did not deny this point. Instead, he said softly with emotion:

"The lamp is my most precious treasure in this world."

Chen Qi's words slowly fell, and they were clearly heard by Chu Hua, Xiang Zi, Miao Meng, and Hai Ling. After a short silence, the four girls fell into different contemplations.

Hailing and Miaomeng are relatively easy to deal with. Hailing had been in contact with Chen Qi during the Crychic period, so she knew a little about Chen Qi's family situation. Of course, she had also witnessed Chen Qi's love for his sister.

As for Miao Meng, she unexpectedly also knew Chen Qi's family conditions, which was naturally told to her by Chen Qi himself. It can be said that one of the reasons why Miao Meng was willing to lend Chen Qi that huge sum of money was because of this.

But Chu Hua heard this for the first time. As a person who has never suffered any setbacks in his family and life, Chu Hua couldn't help but feel a little distressed after hearing Chen Qi's words...

The senior who stepped onto the stage for the first time but acted stronger and more decisive than her popular idol... Chuhua also felt for the first time that compared with such a lonely and tough senior, her previous tears because of the little thing with Xiangzi were really childish.

She already had such a fulfilling life, but her senior went all out to help her make up for the last regret. Xiangzi is back now, and she no longer hides from her. For a moment, Chuhua inexplicably felt that her return to Chen Qi seemed not enough.

But what else could he do to help his senior? Chu Hua couldn't think of anything, so he had to turn his attention back to the stage and wait quietly for the performance to begin.

"Chen Qi..."

Only Toyokawa Shoko, although she had known Chen Qi's life experience for a long time, it was the first time she heard Chen Qi talk about his concern for the lamp. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wanted to hold Chen Qi's hand.

However, the moment Xiangzi stretched out his hand, he thought of his current living conditions which had not improved much. After a slight fear in his heart, he silently retracted his hand.

Don’t I even have the courage to give this lonely man a little warmth?

A bitter smile appeared on Xiangzi's face. How much did he owe Chen Qi? Perhaps only she knew it, and how much had he helped him?

I couldn't even stop causing trouble for him and making him worry about me... When Xiangzi thought of this, his eyes dimmed a little, and he no longer dared to make any move towards Chen Qi who was so close to him.

"Oh, has it started yet?"

At this moment, Miao Meng's soft call made Xiangzi subconsciously look up. The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and from behind the staff, familiar figures came onto the stage one after another.

The five girls on the stage could naturally see clearly at a glance Chen Qi, who was not far from the stage, carrying a guitar bag and whose height stood out from the crowd, and several familiar people around him.

After noticing Chen Qi, Aiyin couldn't hide her smile and waved at Chen Qi, expressing her pride and gratitude for finally standing on the stage.

Ruo Yemu, who had been silent, rarely showed a relieved smile after seeing Chen Qi, and then stared intently at the guitar in his hand.

Li Xi just glanced at Chen Qi not far away, and quickly raised his drumstick, intending to respond to Chen Qi's expectations with an all-out performance.

The only one who didn't dare to look directly at Chen Qi was Nagasaki Suyo. She seemed a little guilty, and after a quick glance at Chen Qi, she quickly lowered her head.

"elder brother……"

Gao Songdeng's eyes were almost immediately locked on Chen Qi. It was not until Chen Qi's encouraging and gentle eyes stared at her intently and nodded to her gently that Gao Songdeng finally smiled.

It was also at this time that Takamatsu Deng finally made up his mind.

Sing it yourself.

Only by singing out your whole heart can you have a chance to see this smile, this encouragement and courage forever.

After confirming the voice in his heart, facing the prelude initiated by Li Xi, Takamatsu Deng no longer hesitated, restored his previous voice and singing, and began to sing his own voice without reservation on the stage.

The first song is a new song created by Chen Qi and Li Xi, "Lost Days".

This song was completed by Chen Qi and Li Xi, and then passed to Deng and the others. They practiced it for less than a week in total, so it was inevitable that there were some mistakes during the performance. Fortunately, Deng's singing voice was full enough, so it was not a big deal and they got through it quite smoothly.

It wasn't until the second song, "Spring Shadow", that the band began to show their true and full strength.

"Xiao Deng's singing voice is similar to that of the senior."

Below the stage, Chu Hua was staring at Gao Songdeng who was singing "Spring Shadow" with deep emotion, and she couldn't help but be lost in thought. At this moment, she felt something similar to Chen Qi from Gao Songdeng.

Chu Hua, who was standing next to Chen Qi at the time, could say that he had a deep understanding of that kind of emotional infection that could make one's soul tremble.

"Well, this song is very well coordinated, perfect." Even Hai Ling, a professional mercenary, could not find any fault with this song. Looking at Li Xi on the stage, who was performing with ease and with a smile on his face, she couldn't help but smile.

"Not bad, not bad. It's really worth it for Miao Meng to promote it well~" Miao Meng also took the opportunity to take a few more photos and nodded approvingly. He was also thinking in his heart, should he let Xiao Qi play this song with him next time they work together?

The only one with a different expression was Toyokawa Shoko. This girl, who had been in Crychic and had left beautiful memories with everyone on the stage, was looking at Takamatsu Touma, who was playing "Haruhi Kage", a song that did not belong to Crychic, and she was filled with mixed feelings.

"Why are your hands always so warm?"

"Hey, please, please never let go..."

Listening to the lyrics that represented everyone's past feelings, Xiangzi felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. But at this moment, she suddenly felt her palm being gently held by a large hand.

"Chen Qi..." Xiangzi was also a little surprised by Chen Qi's action. However, Chen Qi smiled softly at Xiangzi beside him in the darkness:

"Don't run away this time, okay?"

"Let's listen to this quietly. This is proof that Deng and the others have bid farewell to the past and are heading towards their own future."

Under Chen Qi's gentle comfort, Xiangzi's tears, which he had been trying to hold back, finally slid down quietly. But this time, a faint smile appeared on Xiangzi's face. He nodded at Chen Qi and couldn't help but hold Chen Qi's hand.

At least, I still have you by my side.

Chen Qi, don't worry, when I have the qualifications to stand by your side, I will respond to everything you say the first time... definitely.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi, who had already forgotten the song in his ears, was also feeling the warmth of Chen Qi's palm. Unknowingly, he had waited for the end of "Spring Shadow".

Soon, when the two songs ended, Chen Qi and Xiangzi both opened their hands and gave the five girls on the stage the most sincere applause. Chen Qi also kept nodding to them, expressing his satisfaction with the performance.

It seems that I can finally leave with peace of mind.

Such a thought just came to Chen Qi's mind, and he was about to turn around and leave with a smile. However, the still dim lights and the crowd that had not left hindered Chen Qi's steps.

Soon, Chen Qi realized that something was a little bit wrong... He subconsciously turned around and left, but when he found that the five girls were still on the stage, he was involuntarily stunned.

Two songs, it's over, right? Why haven't they left yet?

On the stage, Aiyin, Mutsuki and Li Xi, who were unaware of the truth, all focused their puzzled gazes on the lead singer Takamatsu Deng.

Under the focus of lights and attention, Gao Songdeng, who had been standing at the front of the stage, finally raised his head and fixed his gaze on the figure of Chen Qi who turned around and came forward.

Obviously, she still hesitated, but in the end, the fear of losing became the last fuel that forced her to move forward. She held the microphone tightly with both hands, and finally, trembling, she said the words that could not be turned back:

"Finally, there is one more song..."

"I want to dedicate this song to someone who is the most special, precious, and inseparable to me."

"Everything I want to say to him, all the feelings, everything, is in this song."

Chapter 69: "The Night of the Sixth Magnitude Star", Chen Qi's hesitation, Mu's final outburst

"lamp?"

Gao Songdeng's unexpected action not only made Chen Qi in the audience stunned, but also made the other girls on the stage cast surprised eyes on this radio girl who was usually the most timid.

Was this Deng's sudden idea? For a moment, Li Xi and Aine looked at each other subconsciously, and from their confused expressions, they were sure that Deng had never mentioned such a thing before.

Su Shi, who was standing aside, just lowered his head silently, pretending that he didn't know about it.

If we were to ask who in the band was the most shaken, it would undoubtedly be Wakaba Mu. For the first time, this silent girl turned her head with such disbelief as she stared at Gao Song Deng, who was under the lights and had the courage to tell Chen Qi about his story. Her eyes couldn't stop trembling, and even her breathing seemed to stop for a moment.

Mu had planned everything, but he never expected that an accident would happen to Gao Songdeng.

After all, for Mu, if there is anyone in the band who, like himself, most wants to respond to Chen Qi's feelings and does not want Chen Qi to be hurt again, then it is undoubtedly Gao Songdeng, who has experienced the pain of separation from his beloved brother and does not want his brother to leave him the most.

When both songs were finished, Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally done something for Qi, and this successful performance should help Qi's heartache heal a little.

At least, Qi doesn't have to worry about their situation here anymore, which can be regarded as a relief for Qi.

But now, Gao Songdeng's sudden change made Mu's heart hang in the balance again. She subconsciously cast her eyes towards Mu, and then turned her head to look at Qi. For the first time, a panicked look appeared on her calm face.

However, Mu could not stop all this from happening, and Takamatsu Deng's speech continued.

"This song was written for me by the most important person in my life. He said... This song was written for me."

"The first time I tried to sing it, I was too young... to fully understand the meaning of the song he had written for me."

"It was not until later that I gradually understood the world he had drawn for me."

Gao Songdeng held the microphone and recounted the past that only she and he knew. Her eyes were always looking at the person not far away, and she used all her actions to tell the inseparable relationship between her and him.

"He really saw the world as I saw it, and wrote for me this song in my heart that I could never have written."

"So, so!"

Takamatsu Deng's emotions were becoming more and more excited, and as if to confirm her own words or to cheer herself up, her voice became higher and higher, even to the point of nearly breaking in the end.

Tears began to well up in his eyes, but Gao Songdeng suppressed his emotions and shouted to his brother at the top of his lungs:

"So! Please look at me carefully!"

"My growth! My feelings! My inner voice! Everything I can finally sing out!"

"This song - "Sixth Star Night"!"

Almost in an instant, at the moment when Gao Songdeng's voice just fell, when Chen Qi in the audience heard the title of this song, his whole body trembled violently almost as a conditioned reflex, and he also showed a rare expression of surprise.

"'Sixth Star Night'... I remember this song was a personal song you gave to Deng, Chen Qi, right?"

Xiangzi and the others also reacted early. The inseparable person Gao Songdeng was talking about was Chen Qi beside them. But compared to the other three who didn't know the song very well, Xiangzi knew the origin of the song very well.

Although Chen Qi's first solo song during the Crychic period was given to Mu, in fact, long before Mu, Chen Qi had already written not only the song "Spring Shadow" for his sister, but also "Sixth Star Night", which was a song that was written early on in Deng's notebook.

Of course, everyone in Crychic has tried to play this song, but because Takamatsu Teru didn't get the feeling the first time around, everyone seldom practices this solo song of Teru.

But this time, Gao Songdeng is willing to challenge the shadow of his past failure again, and even in front of Chen Qi, he regards his personal song as the last trump card to release his emotions.

The lamp...has really grown. This was Chen Qi's first reaction, and the only reason why he was still willing to stay here.

But at the same time, for some reason, when Chen Qi heard Deng was going to sing this song, he felt a moment of hesitation in his heart, because he knew very well that this personal song that he had tailored for Deng, and everything depicted in it... might really shake his determination to leave.

However, no matter what Chen Qi was thinking in his heart, at this moment on the stage, when Su Shi's bass sounded first, Li Xi, Mu and Ain all reacted one after another, and began to play this song, the song they had practiced the least, carefully with uneasy and complicated feelings.

Accompanied by a particularly soft accompaniment, Gao Songdeng, who was at the center of the stage, finally opened her eyes. She looked directly at the figure of the only person she cared about, and sang slowly with an unprecedented calmness:

"When I am hurt, I will be happy if you can hug me gently..."

"When I fall and can't stand up again, please give me some courage."

Gao Songdeng's voice was softer than ever before, but not without strength, a hint of sadness, as if conveying her nostalgia, longing for, and dependence on someone who had always been by her side.

And in front of Deng's eyes, she seemed to see again, unconsciously, the childhood time between herself and her brother.
