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

I don't want such a painful life! I would rather my brother either leave me forever or accept me——

"Dad, mom..."

Finally, after Gao Songdeng made up her mind, her confused eyes became very firm at this moment. Now, having lost her brother for the second time, Gao Songdeng, who thought she had nothing to lose, chose to gamble everything she had!

Deng clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to gather up all his courage to express to his parents the truest emotions in his heart that had been hidden for so long.

"If I tell you that I don't just treat your brother as my brother...will you support me?"

"...Huh?"

However, the moment Takamatsu Deng mustered up the courage to say these words, the air in the Takamatsu family seemed to freeze at that moment, leaving only the sound of Deng's accelerated heartbeat and the stunned voices of the Takamatsu couple, still echoing in the house.

It took a long while for Mr. and Mrs. Takamatsu to come to their senses. They looked at their daughter who did not seem to be joking, and after a long time they looked at each other, and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

My daughter, who is good at radio waves, actually started to think like a human would!

……

"I am back."

However, leaving aside the situation over at the lamp, Aiyin, who looked exhausted, returned to her home like a zombie. However, the moment she opened the door and subconsciously called out, she noticed something was amiss.

It turned out that Ai Yin, who was almost unconscious and controlled her body only by muscle memory, did not return to her own house. Instead, she walked into Chen Qi's cabin reflexively and turned on the light.

However, facing the familiar layout of the room, the familiar smell lingering in the air, except for the room without the tall figure beside the computer desk, Aiyin, whose emotions had been quiet for a long time, suddenly felt a pain in her heart for no reason.

However, it was this pain that caused Aine’s tears, which had been accumulating for a long time, to fall slowly from her eyes without any defense...

Aiyin didn't know how to describe her current mood...but she felt empty now, as if a piece of her heart had been dug out. Loneliness, fear, uneasiness, all kinds of emotions surrounded her at once.

In the past, Aiyin could see Chen Qi at any time, and even if she couldn't see him occasionally, she could call him back with a message. And in the past six months, Chen Qi's response to every request made Aiyin like him more and more, but she didn't realize that her dependence on Chen Qi was getting more and more serious.

At first, she was just bothering him with some trivial matters, but later, after getting responses again and again, Aiyin increasingly confided more of her troubles to him, just because she knew that Brother Qi would not reject her.

And now, seeing the person whom she had long been accustomed to, to the point of not cherishing him because of habit, suddenly leaving her life, Chihaya Aine finally woke up.

Brother Qi... never owed me anything. He had always helped me and indulged me. There was no need for him to do this. He clearly couldn't take care of himself, but I still kept bothering him and asking for his care.

I am really bad...

It was not until I lost him that I realized how much I had taken from Brother Qi.

And how much had she done for Brother Qi in the past six months? If she could repay Brother Qi's help in the past six months, just like how Brother Qi helped her, would she have already become the most important person in Brother Qi's heart?

Maybe, Brother Qi would never leave again. Maybe, I would have the courage to say to Brother Qi who was out of control, "You still have me."

"Brother Qi..."

Ai Yin, with tears streaming down her face, sobbed heartbreakingly, calling out to the person close to her who had now left her. She sat down on Chen Qi's small bed in a daze, and after lying down exhausted, she involuntarily took out her cell phone and sent one message after another to Chen Qi as if asking for help.

【Brother Qi, where are you? 】

[Brother Qi, don’t ignore me, I’m so scared that something might happen to you…]

[Brother Qi, please, if you see it, please answer me. I’m really scared…]

[Brother Qi...I really need you, please come back, okay? ]

Messages with almost pleading tones were continuously sent from Ain's phone. However, the reminder that it was always marked as [Unread] made Ain's heart more and more panicked, and her tears began to flow more and more.

The person who used to come back to her as soon as possible has not replied to any of her messages. This makes Aiyin feel more and more that she is losing the person she loves...

……

"Woo..."

However, in a daze, perhaps through telepathy, the unconscious Chen Qi seemed to have some signs of awakening from the endless darkness... and Chen Qi, whose eyes were still hazy, only noticed a vague yellow figure in front of him...

"Hong...Xia?" Chen Qi, who had regained a bit of his sanity, guessed uncertainly based on his instinctive sense of familiarity.

"You're awake, Senior Chen Qi."

At this moment, Hong Xia, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but show a hint of joy when she saw Chen Qi, who was leaning on her thighs, wake up. But soon, she made a hushing gesture to Liang, Kita and Pochi-chan who came over when they heard the noise, indicating that they should not disturb Chen Qi now.

Hong Xia was very clear that the big boy on her lap was not fully awake. If they broke the silence, it would only force Chen Qi, whose spirit had not yet recovered, to wake up.

"How long... have I slept?" Just as Hong Xia thought, Chen Qi started to worry subconsciously as soon as he showed signs of waking up.

"Not long, maybe just an hour." Hong Xia also smiled lightly, gently stroking Chen Qi's forehead, showing her gentler side than before, and said to Chen Qi patiently:

"Senior Chen Qi, you can sleep a little longer. Nothing will happen here now."

"No...I...I have to go back."

However, Chen Qi, who gradually regained some consciousness, also realized that he had stayed in Fanxing for too long. His brain seemed to make him forget the Live for a short time. The worry in his heart made him subconsciously want to get up and return to Aiyin's home.

Chen Qi didn’t know whether Deng was still at Ayin’s house, but he knew that he had to go back. At least, he had to prove that he was still alive and well, so that Ayin and Deng wouldn’t misunderstand anything and make them too sad, or even cause something bad to happen.

But this time, when Chen Qi just raised his head, a gentle little hand gently pressed his head down. Chen Qi, who had almost no strength left in his body, was easily pressed back by the soft hand.

And the next second, Hong Xia's voice, as gentle as the spring breeze, with a little bit of heartache and comfort, gently reached Chen Qi's ears.

"...That's enough, Senior Chen Qi. At least now, you don't have to worry about anything."

"You've already done enough and tried your best. It's okay to give yourself a little break, right?"

Hong Xia gently stroked Chen Qi's forehead and hair, just like a mother comforting her tired baby. She exuded a holy and pure light and said softly:

"Don't worry, we are here for you. We will take care of everything for you. You just need to have a good rest now."

"After all, even heroes get tired sometimes. Now, it's time for our hero senior to go to bed."

Gradually, after Hong Xia's patient words, perhaps because he was too tired, or because Hong Xia's voice really evoked a sense of security in Chen Qi's heart, the dazed Chen Qi was really coaxed by Hong Xia and fell into a deep sleep again.

After hearing Chen Qi's steady breathing again, and looking at his rare peaceful expression, Hong Xia couldn't help but smile. Her hand that was caressing Chen Qi never stopped for a moment...

"Okay, if you keep staring at him like this, my eyes will be glued to him, Hongxia."

Suddenly, Xingge's teasing reminder came from the side, and Hongxia's face turned red. When she raised her head, she couldn't help but glared at her sister in reproach, but didn't say anything.

Not far away, Goto Ichiri, who was sitting with Kita, Ryo and Meow Meng, always turned his gaze towards Hongxia, whom Chen Qi was leaning on. From time to time, a look of envy flashed across his face, but he lowered his head for fear of being discovered.

After all, everyone is still discussing about Chen Qi and that Live performance.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen during the performance at Senior's sister's place."

On the other hand, everyone in the band, who had learned what happened at Deng's live performance through Miao Meng, also understood the reason why Chen Qi fell into a coma. However, facing this incident full of doubts, Xi Duo was puzzled and asked Miao Meng:

"But why did Senior Chen Qi suddenly run away? Logically speaking, seeing his sister singing a song expressing longing like this, Senior should be very relieved and happy, right?"

"Perhaps, the emotions expressed by Deng did not meet the expectations of the seniors."

Liang, who had seen early on that Gao Songdeng was overly dependent on his brother, analyzed the information he had and said, "Senior Chen Qi should have hoped that Deng could become independent, but this time, the song Deng sang expressed his wish of retaining and missing him, which made Senior Chen Qi's wish come to nothing."

"No, but even so, Senior Chen Qi's reaction was so intense, it seemed..." Pochi-chan also retracted her gaze and expressed her thoughts somewhat unconfidently, thinking that Chen Qi's coma was not just due to "disappointment".

For a moment, everyone present was at a loss as to why Chen Qi lost control of his emotions, but in the end, Miao Meng clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and then said softly:

"No matter what, it is a fact that Xiaoqi is in a coma now, and it is also a fact that he needs everyone's help and care now."

"My dear Miao Meng, although I don't know more than everyone else, I think that for the time being, we should not let the troubles of Xiaoqi's band affect Xiaoqi's mentality anymore, what do you think?"

When Miao Mengqin said this, the four girls who finished the band looked at each other and nodded in approval of the plan. Miao Mengqin witnessed it and smiled slightly before turning to the four girls and saying:

"Well, since Xiaoqi likes your band so much, I think you are very suitable to comfort Xiaoqi in daily life and work."

"As for me...well, it's because Miao Meng is kind-hearted. Since I helped Xiao Qi once, I will help him a second time and take care of him in life for the time being."

"Is it really because of kindness?" However, Liang on the side suddenly interrupted Miao Mengqin's words, staring at Miao Meng with a pair of cold eyes, and said lightly:

"Come to think of it, we haven't heard Senior Chen Qi say before that he has a friend like Miao Mengqin, and Miao Mengqin you said yourself that you are Senior's creditor, so why do you want to help him again this time?"

"What's wrong? Could it be that you suspect that I will kidnap him to some gigolo parlor and force him to pay me back?"

However, perhaps because of Liang's distrustful look, or because she felt that someone suspected that she would do something bad to Chen Qi, Miao Meng's tone was rarely dissatisfied. She tapped the table lightly with her fingers and said unhappily:

"If I were really that kind of person, would I not have urged him to pay back the money until now? Would I have forced him until now? If I were really that stingy guy, I would not have lent him the money when he asked me to borrow money in the first place."

"Let's take a step back. Even if I urge him to pay back the money, I have to keep Xiao Qi healthy to ensure that he can pay me back in the future, right? Can I also tear him apart and sell it in eight pieces?"

However, Miao Meng's well-reasoned analysis left Liang and the others speechless. When Miao Meng saw that the girls had no ill intentions and were just worried about Chen Qi's safety, his dissatisfaction quickly dissipated, and he waved his hand and said to them:

"Okay, you guys do me a favor and call a taxi for me. The trains must have stopped at this hour. I can only bear the pain and take Xiaoqi back like this."

"Hey? Meow Meng dear, are you going to bring Senior Chen Qi home?!"

However, Miao Meng's words surprised everyone, especially Goto Ichiri. When this little lonely boy heard that Chen Qi was going to be taken home by this slim and beautiful woman with outstanding temperament, he almost jumped out instinctively and asked in a nervous tone.

Miao Meng was a little surprised by Goto Ichiri's intense reaction. He glanced around at the people who seemed to have similar expressions. Only then did he realize that his actions just now did make people imagine a lot.

After all, no matter how she viewed Chen Qi, in essence, she was only one year older than Xiao Qi...

"There's nothing we can do. After all, where can Xiaoqi go back to now? We can't just abandon him, right? Or should we just let him sleep in this livehouse?"

"Or... can the rest of you do the same as me and take the child back without the family asking any questions?"

"..."

However, after Miao Meng said this, the four girls who ended the band also showed somewhat embarrassed expressions. Obviously, even if they had a good relationship with Chen Qi and regarded Chen Qi as a senior with excellent character, bringing a boy home... was still too difficult for them.

However, after hearing Miao Meng's suggestion, Xing Ge, who was standing by, raised a triangular hair that was very similar to Hong Xia's and turned his head subconsciously as if he had some inspiration.

But, just a second before Xingge opened her mouth, Miao Mengqin clapped his hands first and said with a smile:

"Since there is no objection, everyone come and help me lift Xiaoqi up. Let's try not to wake Xiaoqi up and let him sleep comfortably."

"it is good……"

Seeing that the matter had been decided, although speaking up might change the outcome, this time, Xingge temporarily chose to pretend that nothing had happened. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Hong Xia, who still let Chen Qi rest his head on her thigh without a trace of disgust. Xingge couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

His character and talents are good, but I still need to observe him a little more to see what my sister thinks.

After all, his silly sister might really only regard him as a senior. If he were to interfere, it might have the opposite effect.

But... this girl called Miao Mengqin is not simple. She was able to bring Chen Qi to her home so easily. Could it be that she and Chen Qi are very familiar with each other?

Xingge couldn't help but look aside. Miao Mengqin was drinking a drink peacefully. Both in appearance and temperament, she was more outstanding and mature than those young female high school students like Hongxia. She couldn't help but start to worry about her sister.

What if it is really as she thought... This is not an opponent that a little girl like her can handle... She has to try to help Hong Xia.

Chapter 73: Miao Mengqin and Chen Qi's past? Miao Mengqin's strange feelings for Chen Qi

Meow Mengqin... No, Yutenji Wakamushi, did not live such a glamorous life from the beginning.

Miao Meng still clearly remembers that when she was in junior high school, she was just an ordinary girl. For a girl like Miao Meng at that time, if she wanted to avoid becoming a possible target of school bullying, the only way was to integrate into the class as much as possible.

Therefore, like most girls in the class, she would learn about many celebrities, TV series, songs and cosmetics that she didn’t know much about in order to avoid being isolated and have something to talk about with everyone...

Among them, Miao Meng discovered that makeup and clothing seemed to be the most versatile topics and the easiest to make friends with the same sex. Therefore, she spent a lot of effort to study this aspect - but not because of interest, she just didn't want to be isolated.

Although she was inconspicuous and even unconfident at that time, Miao Mengqin had a secret dream - she also wanted to become a dazzling musician.

Or to be more precise, she wanted to be an eye-catching presence like the stars she saw on TV.

An ordinary girl has an extraordinary dream. She hopes to change her current life. She does not want to be a mere follower. She wants to gain attention and recognition from everyone and enjoy the feeling of being echoed by others while speaking freely.

However, at that time, no one supported Miao Meng's dream... This may have something to do with the fact that she was born in an ordinary family, but more importantly, it was due to the lack of support from her original family.

Miao Meng's parents do not support their daughter's ideal. They believe that instead of investing a lot of money to let Miao Meng learn musical instruments and art, it is better to let their daughter rely on steady studies to enter a good university and find a good job in the future. This is much more realistic than such an illusory ideal as becoming a music star.

But the young Miao Meng did not give up her dream. She used the little pocket money she had saved up hard to find the most reliable music class she could find for the first time. There, she fell in love with her favorite instrument at first sight - electronic drums.

Although drums can only be relegated to the last row in the band, Miao Meng chose drums because the drums have distinct timbre, which is the most distinctive and important timbre of the entire band.

At the same time, being at the end of the band was exactly what Miao Meng wanted... After all, at that time, she had never been praised for her looks, so she felt that with her ordinary looks, the most suitable position for her was the drummer.

It has to be said that Miao Meng is very talented in learning drums. Although her pocket money is only enough to buy one month's lessons and she has never received any music education before, within this month, she has gradually mastered the skills of drums and developed a talent that only very few people have - ambidextrous.

Simply put, she can use either hand as her dominant hand. This gives her a unique advantage as a drummer. It also makes Miao Meng feel for the first time that she is different from others.

However, the good times did not last long. Perhaps it was because she was too immersed in learning drums to the point of neglecting her studies. One day when Miao Meng was playing drums enthusiastically in the music class, her mother suddenly broke into the class and forcibly pulled her off the stage in full view of everyone.

"Yutenji Wakamugi, I advise you to face reality! You can't become a big star! The only way for you to change your destiny is to study!"

"If you want to do what you want, wait until you are financially independent and then talk to me! Now! You are not qualified!"

That day... She clearly remembered that her drumstick was broken, just like her dream that had just begun but died was broken mercilessly.

And from that day on, Miao Meng firmly remembered the words her mother said to her.

So, after going through the hardships of junior high and high school, Miao Meng had already made her own achievements in makeup and dressing, and had her own fans on the Internet. She was sure that she could finally be self-reliant, and she made her own choice on the day she was admitted to university.

She chose to go to university in Tokyo, far away from her hometown. When faced with her mother's questioning, Miao Meng, who now has an independent life, gave a very powerful answer:

"I can take care of myself now! I don't need you to worry about me, and I don't need your support anymore!"
