"Aiyin, Sushi, you two, and the lamp..."
Shiina Riki first glanced at Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo, then her gaze moved to Takamatsu Akari's face.
"Are they all dating Bai Qiu?"
Shiina Tatsuki emphasized the pronunciation of the word "都" (du), as if afraid that the others might not understand.
Then, Shiina Riki widened her eyes and stared intently at the faces of the group, afraid of missing a single movement.
Upon hearing Shiina Tatsuki's words, both Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo were taken aback, their expressions showing some surprise.
After all, they were still thinking that Li Xi didn't know about this.
It's understandable that Li Xi would be surprised to suddenly bring this up in this situation.
"Yes, Lixi."
It was Takamatsu Akari who stood up from her chair and answered Shiina Tatsuki in a soft voice.
"I'm dating Qiu."
The gentle sound of the lamp struck Lixi like a hammer, making her body tremble.
Shiina Tatsuki nodded sullenly.
The answer was already obvious, but she still focused her attention on Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo, waiting for their responses.
When Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo heard this, they both glanced at Bai Qiu again and gradually understood the situation.
Since we've been asked, let's just admit it; that's what we both think.
“Yes, Riki, I’ve been with Bai Qiu for a long time!” Chihaya Aine stood up and answered.
“Yes, I’m also dating Shiraaki.” Nagasaki Sose stood up.
Aine and Suze, with equally impressive confidence, readily admitted it, and some even secretly harbored a desire to make it public long ago.
Even though she already knew the answer, hearing them admit it with her own ears still made Shiina Tatsuki feel her blood rushing from her limbs to her brain, and she couldn't help but clench her fists to stay calm.
On the field right now, Rakuna Kaname is just as shocked as Shiina Tatsuki.
Lena opened her eyes wide and looked at everyone. The iron spoon in her hand hit the glass with a clinking sound, and the matcha parfait in her mouth didn't taste good anymore.
So Bai Qiu and everyone else were keeping this interesting thing from her?!
"Can you accept dating him at the same time?"
Shiina Tatsuki asked in a calm voice.
“Yes, Lixi…” Gaosong Deng nodded.
“I accept it,” Su Shi also said.
Aine: "I agree too."
Upon hearing this, Shiina Tatsuki's brow twitched with anger, his teeth chattered slightly, and his voice, filled with disappointment and frustration, rose several decibels.
"Are you kidding me?! What are you thinking? How could anyone agree to something like this?!"
Seeing that Li Xi was a little agitated, Bai Qiu stepped forward and tried to comfort her with an apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry, Lixi, this is all my fault. I wanted to be with everyone. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
"Of course it's your responsibility."
Shiina Riki gritted her teeth and looked at Bai Qiu, speaking in an annoyed tone.
"That's not how it is, Lixi!"
Takamatsu Akari quickly spoke up, and she hurried over to Shiina Tatsuki, pleading with her:
"Lixi, please don't blame Qiu. It was I who supported Qiu in doing this..."
Shiina Tatsuki's pupils contracted, and she involuntarily took a step back: "You, Akari!"
Huh? Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Akari with a puzzled expression.
Wasn't it the one I supported first? It feels like Tomorin stole it from me.
"There's nothing we can do about it, Lixi..."
Ai Yin tried to explain to Li Xi in a gentle voice, a warm smile on her face as she softly said:
"We all like Bai Qiu, but there's only one Bai Qiu, and none of us want to leave her."
As she spoke, Ai Yin glanced at Bai Qiu again, puffed out her cheeks, and pretended to be angry as she said, "Of course, you also have to blame Bai Qiu for being a womanizer; it's a bit too much!"
Bai Qiu nodded somewhat awkwardly to Ai Yin.
Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment, but she hadn't had a chance to speak yet.
Nagasaki Motoyo's voice followed.
“I know it’s normal that you don’t understand, Li Xi, but if Bai Qiu only chooses one person, the other person… will be very hurt, right?”
Su Shi thought of herself; who told her to be a step behind Ai Yin?
"Yes." Takamatsu Akari nodded gently. "Tachiki-chan, that's what I think too. If everyone likes Aki, and Aki likes everyone, then everyone can live together in the future."
Hearing what the lantern said, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but blush a little.
However, after listening to their words, Lixi was still so angry that her chest heaved violently and her eyes bulged out.
The lamp, well, it's fine if the lamp doesn't know any better!
Are you, Chihaya Aine, and Nagasaki Motoyo, also being so immature and acting recklessly?
Shiina Ritsuki felt that she could no longer understand them.
Bai Qiu and the others are simply incomprehensible.
"You're just being ridiculous! Have you thought about the future? How could such an idea possibly come true!"
Shiina Tatsuki's voice revealed a hint of anger, dissatisfaction, and resentment.
"Lixi, no matter what obstacles we encounter in the future, I will overcome them, I promise!"
Bai Qiu looked at Li Xi and said firmly.
Shiina Tatsuki, however, did not agree.
"I don't care anymore! Do whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shiina Ritsuki moved, her long black hair swaying like a waterfall, and she turned around without hesitation and strode toward the door.
"Wait, Lixi."
Bai Qiu reached out to grab Li Xi, but—
"Don't follow me!"
Shiina Riki glanced sideways at Bai Qiu, then quickened her pace.
Bai Qiu was certainly not intimidated by Li Xi's harsh words.
"Don't follow" means you absolutely must follow.
However, Bai Qiu suddenly stopped because he heard the lamp call to him.
"Qiu, I'll go with you to find Lixi."
Gao Songdeng hurriedly walked around the seat and ran to Bai Qiu's side, saying:
"Lixi-chan likes Qiu too! Let's go together and persuade her. If we work together... we definitely, definitely can!"
Gao Songdeng clenched his fist, his tone firm.
After hearing this, Su Shi and Ai Yin, who were standing behind, exchanged a glance, both able to see the complex emotions on each other's faces.
What are you saying, lamp?
Although the two of them agreed that Bai Qiu could be with everyone, Deng, you actually wanted to help Bai Qiu persuade Li Xi to join?
Isn't your vision a bit too grand?
Ai Yin and Su Shi gave the lamp a deep look.
Bai Qiu was somewhat taken aback, then shook her head, forcing a smile as she said, "Deng, thank you. I know you genuinely want to help me."
"The fact that you said that has already helped me a lot."
"But this is because my decision displeased Lixi, so I have to convince Lixi myself."
Chapter 311 Bai Qiu: This height is not a problem
Bai Qiu's words were understood and supported by Gao Songdeng.
Gao Songdeng nodded, believing that Bai Qiu would definitely be able to persuade Li Xi to accept that they should be together.
Having convinced Deng, Bai Qiu told Ai Yin and the other two to eat without worry before quickly leaving.
Ahem, to be honest, he's the one who needs to interact with everyone at the same time... so how could he ask the lamp for help?
That's why Bai Qiu is so determined to rely on her own strength.
Because of the slight delay, and because Shiina Ritsuki was intentionally avoiding Bai Qiu, Bai Qiu could no longer see Ritsuki when she went outside the restaurant.
Bai Qiu thought of a few places Li Xi might go and quickly decided to go to Li Xi's house first.
"Oh, it's Bai Qiu. Are you here to see Li Xi?"
"Lixi-chan just came upstairs, her face was very dark, and she looked very angry! She scared me."
"Did something happen between you two? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you~"
When Shiina Maki opened the door to greet Bai Qiu, she was bored and had nothing to do at home all day. The moment she saw Bai Qiu, she started chattering nonstop.
It was as if she wanted to pour out all the words she had been holding back from Li Xi ignoring her earlier to Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu smiled helplessly: "Maki-nee, thank you for opening the door."
"But I'll go find Lixi first."
"Ah, how heartless!"
A slightly disgruntled voice came from behind.
However, Bai Qiu had already bypassed her and easily arrived at Li Xi's room door, knocking on the door with her fingers.
"Lixi, it's me. I haven't finished speaking yet. Would you mind opening the door and letting me in?"
Shiina Tatsuki, who had just returned to her room and was lying on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, opened her eyes in surprise and looked towards the door when she heard that familiar voice.
However, there was no response.
She didn't want to see him; she really didn't want to see Bai Qiu, that guy who was juggling multiple relationships.
He actually said something as shameless as liking everyone.
It was Bai Qiu; if it were anyone else, Shiina Tatsuki would have punched him already.
No! It's not that I didn't want to hit him, it's just that I was in a daze and ran too fast, so I didn't have time to punch him.
Even though Bai Qiu said he wouldn't give up on her, which probably meant he liked her, Shiina Ritsuki was still angry.
"Lixi won't open the door for you?"
Before anyone knew it, Shiina Maki also came upstairs and stood beside Bai Qiu, smiling with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
"There's nothing I can do. After all, it was my fault for making Lixi angry."
Bai Qiu shook her head and sighed slightly, but she was not discouraged.
He felt it was normal for Lixi to be angry knowing that his behavior would make her angry.
If it could appease Li Xi, Bai Qiu would be willing to let Li Xi punch him hard.
But he still had to find a way to win Lixi's trust.
Shiina Maki nodded with interest and asked, "What did you do?"
She was curious about what Bai Qiu had done to make Li Xi so angry.
In her eyes, she had long seen that her younger sister Lixi's feelings for Bai Qiu had changed.
People like Shiina Maki, who haven't been in a relationship yet, are most interested in other people's love gossip, especially when it's about Tachibana.
