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

However, before Mu left, Chen Qi, who was still struggling in his heart, reached out and grabbed her hand. After a long while, he said to the girl who had been with him for so long, feeling reluctant:

"...Mu, if you need me in the future, remember to tell me."

"I will definitely come to help you, no matter how difficult it is."

"……I see."

No. Don't be so gentle to me anymore, Qi.

Otherwise, what should I do if I really can’t live without you like them?

If that happens, I will become the kind of woman who only causes trouble for you.

Restraining the trembling in his heart, Mu finally gently broke free from Chen Qi's hand, and under Mr. Ruoye's calm gaze, he quietly returned to his own car.

Mr. Ruoye silently turned his head to look at the lonely Chen Qi, and then looked at his daughter who had a lonely face. He already understood everything in his heart, but he did not reveal the last layer of window paper between the two.

He wanted to keep this layer of window paper and let Chen Qi break it on his own initiative.

Chapter 71: Xiangzi’s talk with Deng, ending with the song the band wrote for Chen Qi!

Chen Qi stood there alone, watching the Ruoye family's car getting farther and farther away from him, until it completely disappeared from his sight, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Mu also left...For some reason, Chen Qi always felt a little lost in his heart, and he seemed to regret it.

Mu Momo had been with him for so long and had never asked for anything from him. What was she trying to achieve? Chen Qi knew the answer to this question very well.

Perhaps all this had already begun when he gave Mu the song "天ノ弱"... Chen Qi didn't know much about Mu's past. He just heard Mu mention her daily schedule once by chance during the six months of companionship.

"In the morning, I go to school. After school in the afternoon, there will be several teachers in Tsuki no Mori who will teach me. There will be special teachers for ballet, musical instruments, and painting."

"When I get home, there are tutors to help me with my studies, as well as piano teachers and etiquette teachers... After I finish these classes, I will do my homework, take a shower and go to bed."

"...Mu, how long can you rest in a day like this?" When Chen Qi heard Mu's busy daily schedule, he immediately grasped the point of the problem and couldn't help asking.

At that time, Mu Yiran just replied softly with a nonchalant expression:

"About six or seven hours a day... I'm used to it."

Every day's schedule is so tightly arranged that even his sleep time has been squeezed. In a sense, Mu can be said to have no time for socializing, and is even the type of person least likely to form a band.

The reason why Mu joined Crychic in the beginning was simply because the person who invited her was Toyokawa Shoko. She and Shoko were childhood sweethearts, and she certainly had reasons to cherish this hard-earned friendship.

So, what was the reason why Mu stayed by his side for the past six months? Chen Qi felt that, at least, it should be a similar reason.

Had I unknowingly become the spiritual pillar in Mu's heart... That's why she would even talk back to her father in order to protect herself. The past Mu would never have done such a thing.

Should I try to keep Mu? If I can be more assertive, is it possible to make Mr. Ruoye change his mind? Let Mu become more free, at least, let Mu reveal more of his thoughts.

After all, although the negotiations just now broke down, Chen Qi did not think that Mr. Ruoye was a stubborn and restless person...

But at this moment, Chen Qi could no longer think more deeply. He was too tired. He felt an intense fatigue throughout his body and mind, and it was difficult for him to maintain his usual calmness and composure.

Now, he just wanted to walk around and breathe some fresh air until his mind became clearer.

"Chen Qi!"

However, at this moment, Toyokawa Shoko finally ran out of "RiNG", but her calling did not bring back Chen Qi's departing back this time. He still walked quietly towards the distance alone.

Just when Xiangzi was about to catch up with Chen Qi, Chuhua, who was following closely behind her, stopped her at this moment.

"Wait, Xiaoxiang."

Chuhua grabbed Xiangzi's wrist in time, but was met with a sudden glare from Xiangzi who turned his head away. However, after a moment of stunned silence, Chuhua did not care about Xiangzi's unfriendly expression... After all, she was also very clear about the importance of Chen Qi to Xiangzi.

"Xiao Xiang, although I may not understand Senior as well as you do, I think that since Senior heard your voice but did not turn around... he probably wanted to be alone and calm down."

"Although I don't know why Senior suddenly became like this, but now he is in a mess. People like us who don't know the truth, even if we catch up with him, I guess we won't be able to talk to him at all, right?"

"Sanjiao is right." Beside Chuhua, Hailing nodded and said to Xiangzi in approval:

"We should first figure out why Chen Qi suddenly lost control of his emotions. If we don't find the right remedy, our blind help will only cause him more trouble."

"I say! Did you guys make a mistake?"

But at this moment, unexpectedly, Miao Mengqin, who had already turned off his recording, put away his selfie stick, and even took off his sunglasses, was extremely anxious and dissatisfied when he heard that the three people around him were still analyzing the cause of the problem:

"Xiao Qi's psychological defenses have completely collapsed! If we don't catch up now, what if Xiao Qi gets impulsive and does something stupid?"

Miao Meng didn't really understand the reason, but that didn't mean she didn't understand Chen Qi's character. Although she and Chen Qi had only collaborated on a few videos together, and they were creditors, Miao Meng was so concerned about Chen Qi's condition, not just because Chen Qi owed her a huge sum of money.

Only Miao Meng herself knew the reason... The reason why she was so concerned about this boy who was one year younger than her was actually related to the reason why Chen Qi asked her to borrow money.

"You guys aren't going, right? Fine, Meow Meng kiss me and I'll go after him myself."

"Wait—ran away."

However, Hailing looked at Miao Mengqin, who was wearing high heels but still tried hard to catch up with Chen Qi, but almost fell to the ground after taking a few steps. In the end, she shook her head without saying anything.

At least she felt that, considering Miao Meng's speed, it would be more realistic for her to wait for Chen Qi to circle the earth and come back if she wanted to catch up with Chen Qi.

“… Xiangzi?”

At this moment, a slightly surprised voice came from behind Xiangzi, which made Xiangzi, Chuhua and Hailing turn around at the same time. Only then did they find Deng, Lixi, Aiyin and Su Shi standing in front of them with the same extremely gloomy expressions.

And when everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Xiangzi, it was as if they had grabbed the last straw. Especially Su Shi, the only one who could still barely maintain his sanity, directly handed the distracted lamp to Li Xi and immediately came to Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi, did you see Aqi just now? How is Aqi?"

Xiangzi: "...I saw him, but Chen Qi is in a very bad condition."

However, although they considered themselves to be "irreconcilable" friends a week ago, Xiangzi no longer had the cold and distant attitude he had before after facing Su Shi's anxious inquiries, as if he had suddenly returned to the Xiangzi of the Crychic period.

However, this time, Xiangzi's gaze bypassed Su Shi and turned directly to Gao Songdeng, who was absent-minded and kept his head down and crying silently.

"lamp."

“… Xiangzi?”

Under Xiangzi's particularly solemn call, Gao Songdeng, who had not responded since being questioned by Mu, finally seemed to move a little. The little animal looked up blankly and stared blankly at Xiangzi's serious face in front of him.

Perhaps because it was about Chen Qi, Xiangzi did not beat around the bush this time, but came straight to the point and asked:

"Deng, do you know why Chen Qi lost control of his emotions this time?"

"!"

When Xiangzi said this, Deng, who was fully aware that his brother's emotions were out of control and that he was the reason, also subconsciously felt nervous. Deng's momentary absence of consciousness made Xiangzi more certain of his guess, and he said solemnly:

"As expected... I felt something was wrong from the beginning. As expected, Deng, you know the reason, right?"

"If this live performance is for you, Deng, to express your longing for your brother and prove your growth, then Chen Qi's emotions will definitely not get out of control. Even if he bursts into tears, he will definitely feel gratified by Deng's growth and will never have such an extreme reaction."

"Deng, what happened between you and Chen Qi? Why did Chen Qi react so strongly to your song? Can you tell us the reason?"

lamp:"……"

The lamp did not speak, or rather, she did not know how to speak, even though she already had the answer in her heart.

The reason why Deng had been hesitating whether to really sing "Sixth Star Night" was because she was worried that her feelings for her brother would unconsciously reveal themselves in the song, thus making her brother realize that her feelings had never diminished, but instead, because of the separation, she became more inseparable from her brother.

But now it seems that her worries were correct, because this song was enough to express her whole heart, and she once again made her brother recall that past...

Deng didn’t understand why her brother couldn’t accept her. She clearly regarded her brother as her whole world, so why couldn’t she be with her own world forever?

"Tomorin! If you don't tell me now, Brother Qi will be in danger!"

"Yeah, Deng, if you really know the reason, please tell us quickly. If we don't find that guy as soon as possible, who knows what he will do?"

Seeing that Takamatsu Deng had fallen into silence again, Aiyin and Lixi, who had long been worried about Chen Qi's condition, couldn't help but remind him, but they failed to bring Deng back to his senses as he was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xiangzi, even though he was also extremely anxious, still forced himself to remain calm. After taking a deep breath, he maintained a tone as friendly as possible and said to the lamp in front of him:

"Deng... maybe you have something to hide, or maybe Chen Qi asked you not to tell the secret. I can understand that, and I won't force you to tell it."

"But, Deng, the premise of all this is that you must find a way to make up for this mistake yourself. You don't want to have a gap between you and your dear brother forever, right?"

"gap……"

Xiangzi's words made Deng unable to help but murmur to himself. Soon, Deng recalled every little detail of his time with his brother over the past month...

Obviously everything seemed to be the same as before, but what made Deng feel extremely painful was that, while everything was normal, his brother deliberately kept a distance from him.

Even if it was like this before, but there is a gap in my heart, and it will never be as natural as before. This kind of life is not what Deng wants.

She also wants to eliminate the gap between her and her brother forever!

But... what should I do? In the current situation where it is almost impossible for my brother to come back to me, what should I do?

"Deng, if you don't want to tell us, then why not try and tell everyone you think can help you."

At this moment, Xiangzi seemed to see through Deng's confusion and hesitation. A faint smile appeared on his cold face. He offered his own suggestions to Deng, saying:

"Deng, the relationship between you and Chen Qi will have to be resolved sooner or later. Instead of dragging it out, it's better to talk it out as much as possible. Maybe it will be good for both you and Chen Qi."

Someone who can help me and my brother...

However, Xiangzi's suggestion made Deng fall into deep thought. For a moment, she really couldn't think of anyone other than her brother to whom she could tell her troubles.

No, I still have such a person...

Unconsciously, Gao Songdeng's mind flashed with the people who were the most important to him before his brother entered his world - his parents.

But, what’s going on between me and my brother…can I really let my parents know?

If they knew, what would their reaction be? Would they accept my feelings? Deng seemed to have a hard time making up his mind.

……

"…Say, let's not wait any longer, shall we?"

Before they knew it, the night had completely enveloped the entire Tokyo. In the "Stars" of Shimokitazawa, Xingge, who was sitting with her legs crossed, couldn't help but glance at the PA lady who had been sleeping on the table beside her. Then she cast her eyes on the four girls who were still standing on the stage and couldn't help but say:

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Chen Qi probably won't be here. Do you really want to wait here for him to come before performing?"

"Senior will definitely come!"

However, even though it was already eleven o'clock, Hong Xia, who was sitting in the drummer's seat, still responded to her sister with an extremely confident voice, and a particularly determined smile appeared on her face, and she said word by word:

"The senior is not the kind of person who would break an appointment. Since he didn't say he wouldn't come today, then he will definitely come!"

As soon as Hongxia said this, Pochi, Liang and Kita, who were originally a little tired standing on the stage, immediately nodded in agreement, and they all concentrated again, ready to welcome Chen Qi's arrival at any time.

"You guys..." Seeing that the four girls were so persistent, Xingge's face showed a hint of helplessness. Of course, he was more confused.

What kind of magic potion did Chen Qi give them? They didn't have much contact with Chen Qi, right? Why did they all trust his character so much?

However, just when Xingge had such doubts in his heart, suddenly, a sound from the door broke all the silence in the house, and everyone's attention was subconsciously attracted over.

Soon, when the familiar tall figure stepped into [Stars] carrying a guitar bag, the four girls on the stage looked at each other, then nodded with smiles on their faces, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Now, it's time for Senior Chen Qi to see their transformation!

"Hello everyone! We are the Ending Band!"

"Next, we bring you our new song! Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet!"

The initiator was undoubtedly the team leader Hong Xia. Before Chen Qi could gain his footing, she raised her drumstick first, beat it a few times in the air, and then landed on the drum without hesitation.

Along with Hong Xia's drums, there were also the roaring sounds of guitar and bass! The four instruments collided fiercely in the air, but began to blend together. It was undoubtedly a rock music with a very Japanese style.

Although the sudden end of the band's performance scared Chen Qi a little, Chen Qi, who was now physically and mentally exhausted, was unable to make any rich expressions. He just quietly put down his guitar bag and slowly sat down not far from Xingge and Miss PA.

However, Xing Ge, who was standing by, listened to the music played by the four girls on the stage while looking at Chen Qi with admiration, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth involuntarily.

This man... is indeed quite interesting. Hongxia really did not trust the wrong person.

However, Hongxia and the others have really changed. In this month... their growth has been so rapid that it is almost astonishing.

Xing Ge looked at the four girls on the stage who were cooperating with each other very well and was a little surprised. Her original standard was just that they could cooperate with each other a little bit and sing in their own style.

But now... for a moment, Xingge even felt that the four girls on the stage had become a little unfamiliar. Could this really be trained in a month? Xingge was willing to believe that they were a band that had been working together in harmony for a year!

However, next to Xingge, Chen Qi also noticed that the four girls were different from the past month. He couldn't help but raise his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the stage.

During this month, Chen Qi did not spend much time with the band's end-of-band training. After all, he was busy with Chu Hua's performances for two weeks and clearing the way for the reunion of the MYGO band for another week. He really could not take care of the end-of-band, which made him feel relatively at ease.

But now, whether it is Kita who keeps plucking the strings with his fingers while singing loudly; or Hongxia who has become more confident and no longer panic; or Liang who has finally learned how to play the bass and integrate it with everyone's rhythm, all have brought Chen Qi a transformational growth.

Of course, the biggest surprise is undoubtedly Pochi-chan, who is now concentrating all her attention on the guitar, but is no longer afraid of being watched, and can even vaguely display her own strength.

Ever since Tsuzuki discovered that Pochi-chan's weakness is social phobia, the four girls' daily training has included street performances. After one training after another, Pochi-chan's transformation can be said to be the greatest.

And now, Goto Ichiri is also putting in his absolute concentration, just to play this song that he wrote perfectly!

Sound out, my guitar!
