Chapter 252 Li Xi: I'm so happy composing music with you
"Yeah, I like you."
Shiina Riki's beautiful cheeks were flushed with an indelible blush, but the voice that came from her mouth was firm and clear.
She unconsciously increased the pressure on their hands, leaving white marks on their fingers.
The idea of meeting a boy she likes and confessing her feelings to him was something that Shiina Tatsuki could hardly imagine in the past...
I've never met a boy I like since I was a child, and I don't think I'll ever meet one in the future.
But with Bai Qiu's appearance, everything seemed to begin to change.
At first, she was able to be stubborn and deny it in her heart, telling herself that she only regarded him as a friend, just a little more important than him, and that she had no feelings for Bai Qiu.
Even if... even if someone were to confess their feelings, shouldn't it be Bai Qiulai who confesses to her?
However, as time goes by, and with shared experiences, more and more shared memories emerge.
The feeling of excitement in her heart deepened again and again, and that face would appear in her mind again and again without warning.
Until Shiina Riki could no longer deceive himself.
Therefore, confessing one's feelings would be an extremely embarrassing thing for Shiina Tatsuki, given her personality.
However, the phrase "I like you" is very important, that's what Shiina Tatsuki thinks.
Because this sentence is so important, even if she feels embarrassed or her expression becomes unnatural, she might be so awkward that she'd dig her toes into the ground if someone used it to tease her one day.
Lixi still had to say it herself.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from her right hand, feeling the hand that was somewhat different from hers, seemingly rougher, seemingly stronger and more powerful, she did not struggle, letting her do as she pleased.
Shiina Tatsuki's bright purple eyes lit up, and she gained even more courage.
"Anyway, I'm not good at saying nice things, and you probably think the same way, but..."
Shiina Ritsuki's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at her reflection in Bai Qiu's eyes. After a brief pause, the blush on her cheeks deepened once more, spreading to her neck and the base of her ears...
Li Xi couldn't help but lift Bai Qiu's hand and place it on their chests, whispering:
"I was very happy when I composed music with you."
His dark brown eyes stared intently at Lixi's face, unblinking, at this Lixi who was so different from usual, with a delicate and charming face.
Bai Qiu seemed somewhat lost in thought.
Lixi also has this tender side.
And what does it mean to be bad at saying nice things? The words you just said are really shaking his heart...!
Shiina Tatsuki, feeling like she was experiencing the most embarrassing moment of her life, still stared at Shiraaki's face with an unyielding attitude.
"besides……"
For some reason, Shiina Tatsuki pursed his lips.
Immediately following, as if to express some dissatisfaction with Bai Qiu, Li Xi squeezed Bai Qiu's hand and muttered:
"I don't want to be your best buddy, let Hailing be your best buddy instead."
Finally, after venting all her feelings for Bai Qiu, Shiina Ritsuki held Bai Qiu's hand tightly and had the courage to look at him squarely.
This time, regardless of the outcome.
Shiina Tatsuki believes he has overcome his feelings of inferiority.
No matter if her opponent is a popular idol, someone prettier than her, someone who has known Shiraaki longer than her, or someone like Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsumi, or Nagasaki Motoyo.
She would never back down.
Holding his breath and listening intently to every word Li Xi said, Bai Qiu was deeply moved, and finally, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
While I was touched by what Lixi said, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
'Lixi and Hailing are both my good buddies.'
This was something he had said jokingly before.
I didn't expect Li Xi to take it seriously.
"Lixi, I still see you as a girl in my heart."
Bai Qiu spoke first, offering an explanation, then his expression gradually turned serious as he began to seriously consider how to respond to Li Xi's feelings.
Although he just talked a lot, what kind of feelings does he actually have for Lixi?
Is it really just simple appreciation?
Does he like Lixi?
After a moment of silence, Bai Qiu seemed to have made up her mind. In any case, before making any other decisions, Bai Qiu decided to tell Li Xi about herself and Ai Yin.
"Lixi, actually now A and I..."
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Whether sensing Bai Qiu's predicament or something else, Shiina Riki suddenly spoke up.
Faced with Bai Qiu's questioning gaze, she explained softly, "For now, that's fine. Bai Qiu, you don't need to rush to answer me. It's okay if you think it over carefully before giving me your reply."
"I don't want to hear it now."
Shiina Tatsuki felt both anticipation and fear regarding Bai Qiu's reply.
She hoped that Bai Qiu would like her too, but she was also afraid of hearing a bad answer, and she also had concerns about Gao Songdeng.
Bai Qiu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
"Because the lamp might like you too."
Shiina Tatsuki said in a low voice.
"Last time in the practice room, Akari said that the song she sang for you, 'Boku wa...,' felt like a confession to you."
Speaking of this, Shiina Tatsuki couldn't help but glance at Bai Qiu with a somewhat resentful look.
You fickle guy, of all people to like you, you had to make Deng fall for you too, causing her a lot of distress and making her have strange thoughts running through her head lately.
If she said she was with someone at the same time, people would probably think she was crazy...
It would be nice if the light didn't like you.
But Shiina Tatsuki also understands that she has no right or ability to control others or prevent them from liking Shiraaki.
After listening to Li Xi's story, Bai Qiu's expression relaxed, but she also looked at Li Xi with a subtle, or rather, amused and exasperated look.
Even though he confessed to himself, Li Xi was still worried about the lamp.
However, Li Xi's words did give him some time.
This way, I can calm down and think things through properly, and I won't have to go against my promise to Aine.
Bai Qiu looked at Li Xi and replied earnestly, "Li Xi, I understand."
"I will definitely think it through and give you both a good answer."
"Ah."
Shiina Riki said "hmm".
But I had some doubts in my mind, and I felt that Bai Qiu's statement was a bit strange.
A good answer?
Once Bai Qiu gives her answer, no matter who she chooses, for her and for Deng, one of them will inevitably get hurt, right?
If only there were a perfect solution.
If Bai Qiu ends up liking Deng, she will willingly step aside and wish them happiness.
But if... Bai Qiu also likes her, then the lamp will be rejected.
Given Deng's personality, he'll probably suffer a very heavy blow, right?
After all, the disbandment of a band that had only been together for less than a month left Gao Songdeng with psychological trauma.
The lamp is so fragile, what if she does something drastic?
Thinking about it this way, Shiina Tatsuki became even more frightened.
Shiina Ritsuki bit her lip so hard it almost bled. If that day ever came, if Akari really suffered, if Akari truly loved Shiraaki...
So she... so she can turn a blind eye...
After barely suppressing her wild thoughts, Shiina Ritsuki looked up again, but what she saw made her expression change and her pupils dilate in shock.
"Lixi?"
"……later."
Shiina Riki's voice was weak, and then his head drooped low.
Bai Qiu glanced back and saw two tall, mature adults, one in yellow and one in black, standing at the entrance steps of Fanxing.
"Hoshika-san... Manager?! And Pa-san too."
Bai Qiu couldn't help but break out in a sweat, and asked in surprise, "When did you all come out?"
"Hmm...it's been a while, hasn't it?"
Miss Pa looked up, thought for a moment, and then answered.
It was Ichiji Hoshika and Ms. Pa who had just left from the starry sky. They were stunned by the scene before them, and then stood quietly in place.
Bai Qiu and Shiina Tatsuki are still holding hands, but it's unclear whether they've forgotten or what.
And Shiina Tatsuki, her face flushed, awkwardly hid behind Bai Qiu, not daring to look up and meet his gaze.
Lixi's mind was in complete chaos.
Did they hear her confession to Bai Qiu just now?
Thinking about it, Lixi felt her cheeks instantly become extremely hot, and her scalp felt itchy, as if insects were crawling on it.
"Xingge, we think we've witnessed something incredible."
Ms. Pa's voice continued, her face beaming as she looked down at the two holding hands and exclaimed, "How youthful!"
Bai Qiu and Li Xi then quickly let go of each other's hands.
Miss Pa chuckled softly at the sight, "Don't worry about me and Xingge, just treat us like we're invisible."
Ijichi Hoshika also fell silent.
But her wide-open eyes testified to her equally astonishment.
Ijichi Seika's impression of Hakuqiu went through roughly three stages.
The first stage was when Bai Qiugang and Hong Xia formed a band.
Hongxia suddenly forms a band with a boy she doesn't know. Xingge, who is obsessed with his sister, inevitably becomes wary of Baiqiu, fearing that his only sister Hongxia will be kidnapped by Baiqiu.
Later, thanks to Bai Qiu's efforts, the band's development became more and more successful, and Hong Xia's wish could be fulfilled. Xing Ge was gradually moved by Bai Qiu.
If Hongxia really likes him, entrusting her to him wouldn't be a bad idea. This would also prevent Hongxia from being single until 29 like her.
In the third stage, Xingge noticed that there seemed to be too many band girls around Bai Qiu, and Hongxia seemed to be just an insignificant little one among them.
Bai Qiu seems to be a bit of a womanizer; we really need to observe him further!
Now, we are in the fourth stage.
Has Bai Qiu finally stopped acting? He was seen hugging and kissing another girl right in front of her shop. What is he like in private? Xing Ge doesn't even dare to think about it.
This matter must be told to Hongxia.
Despite thinking this way, Ijichi Hoshika wisely left with Ms. PA.
Bai Qiu and Li Xi followed closely behind, somewhat embarrassed.
……
Not far away, Takamatsu Tsurugi, with her petite back supported by the wall, would have definitely fallen to the ground if she hadn't been able to stand.
Hearing the approaching voices and footsteps, he hurriedly came to his senses.
She nervously looked around, and at the last moment, she crouched behind a parked car to avoid being noticed by Bai Qiu and her group who were passing by.
After a long while, Gao Songdeng cautiously stepped out, like a small animal tentatively checking for danger.
The lamp stared blankly ahead.
Li Xi-chan...do you like autumn too?
The word "love" that I heard from Kita in the Starry Sky today appeared in Takamatsu Akari's mind, reminding me of the scene where Hakushuu and Shiina Ritsuki held hands.
Deng Xin wondered, "Are Qiu and Li Xi dating?"
