"Kita, don't be fooled by Ryo."

“Qiu is right,” Hongxia added. “It’s good that Liang eats less.”

After being stopped by Bai Qiu and Hong Xia, Xi Duo could only give Liang a sympathetic look and silently put away his wallet.

Watching Bai Qiu and Hong Xia sing in unison like a married couple, Liang clutched his chest and made a heartbroken expression.

Suddenly remembering something, Bai Qiu asked Yi Li again:

"Liang shouldn't owe any money, right?"

Ichiri looked up at Ryo and finally had a chance to say, "Ryo... you still haven't paid me back for the tram fare from last time."

The gaze shifted to Yamada Ryo, who was whistling and looking out the glass.

"cold!!!"

Yamada Ryo has lost popular support.

...Later, after everyone had placed their orders, Hongxia, as the team leader, briefly summarized the results of the morning's roadshow.

Today's first all-member roadshow after the band ended was quite successful.

The number of votes received through online voting increased significantly, but the ranking only rose by one place. After all, it was only one morning, so it was impossible to achieve much.

However, things will be different when Guitar Hero makes his move.

Besides, he's also a composer and a light novelist.

Bai Qiu exchanged a glance with Yi Li, raised his hand, and said gently, "Yi Li has something to say."

She choked a little, not expecting it to happen so suddenly; she wasn't prepared at all.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no turning back.

Hongxia looked at Yili with a gentle smile on her face, "What does Yili want to say?"

"Ryo, Kita, um..." Since Bai Qiu and Hong Xia already knew, Ichiri only called out Ryo and Kita's names.

"Actually, I am a guitar hero."

Without any preamble, Yili started speaking right away, which caused the scene to fall silent.

Hongxia turned her gaze to Bai Qiu and blinked in confusion.

Why did Yili suddenly confess this? How come she didn't get any prior warning?

"Guitar Hero?" Kita said, somewhat confused.

"This is it."

Seeing that Kita seemed unaware of Guitar Hero, Bai Qiu opened the homepage of Kita's Guitar Hero account to give him a brief introduction.

Kita's yellow-green eyes darted around, and she asked softly, "Does that mean Ichiri is the blogger with over 3 subscribers on YouTube?"

"um, yes."

Yili responded in a low voice, then lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

Guitar Hero's account contains a lot of her dark history, mainly lies that are inconsistent with her public image and were told out of vanity.

For example, she's a super popular girl at school, has over 1000 friends on Line, and her boyfriend is a popular light novel author...

Although she has already deleted it.

Kita smiled, seemingly accepting it quickly, and exclaimed:

"No wonder I always felt that Ichiri was hiding something, so that's what it was!"

Seeing this, Hongxia took over the conversation, put her hands together and said apologetically, "Actually, Qiujun and I already knew, so we're sorry for keeping it from you."

Kita shook his head indifferently, while Yamada Ryo remained quite calm.

"Actually, I had guessed it before, after all, Pochi's strength has improved very quickly."

Then Ryo flattered Ichiri, saying, "I've heard this is quite profitable, Lord Pochi. Please entrust the profits to me for safekeeping from now on!"

Hongxia slapped her cold hand in an annoyance, "Don't even think about it."

Seeing that Kita and Ryo had acknowledged him, he finally revealed the secret he had kept hidden in his heart.

Goto Ichiri also felt a sense of relief.

"Hey hey hey!"

Seeing Ichiri grinning foolishly, Hongxia felt relieved. She had been worried that everyone might hold a grudge because of this.

"Why did Yili suddenly agree to tell everyone? Didn't she ask Qiu and me to help her keep it a secret before?"

Seeing that Yili's soul had vanished, Bai Qiu smiled and began to explain Yili's plans.

With the help of the guitar hero, Ichiri's energy was also part of the band's strength to end the game, so everyone naturally agreed with smiles.

Outside the glass window, not far away, Chihaya Aine, who was not in a good mood, walked absentmindedly down the street with slightly heavy steps.

I came out for a walk to clear my head, pondering how to face Bai Qiu's love tomorrow.

In a casual glance upwards, I happened to see Bai Qiu and the four girls from the End Band with joyful smiles on their faces.

Even without her, Bai Qiu can still smile happily...

My heart was inexplicably pierced.

Even though she knew it was just a simple meal together after a band event, and even though she knew her thoughts were wrong, Aine still felt unwanted.

If it were a rare chance encounter before she confessed to Bai Qiu, she would definitely be excited to go up and greet them.

But now, Chihaya Aine pursed her lips and walked away before being discovered.

Chapter 226 The distance between us has grown.

Monday morning finally arrived, and Bai Qiu arrived at the classroom earlier than usual, perhaps because she had someone she wanted to see soon!

Good morning, Qiu.

Gao Songdeng arrived a step earlier. After not seeing Bai Qiu for two days, the corners of Gao Songdeng's mouth turned up happily the moment he saw her.

"Good morning, lamp." Bai Qiu smiled when she saw it was a lamp.

"Qiu, would you like some milk?"

Deng took a carton of warm milk out of his bag and gently handed it to Bai Qiu.

"Thank you, lamp. I really like this scent."

Feeling the warmth of the milk in her palm, Bai Qiu smiled, took it, inserted a straw, and drank.

"Then I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Watching the two interact so sweetly, the three female classmates with red, green, and yellow hair nearby couldn't help but think that Deng had been completely captivated by Bai Qiu.

It seems that Aine also likes Shiraaki, which is a problem...

Furthermore, there are rumors about Bai Qiu being a bit of a womanizer. I remember two young ladies from the Moon Forest once waited for him at the school gate.

Chihaya Aine didn't enter the classroom through the back door until just before class started.

Noticing Aiyin passing by with a cool breeze, Bai Qiu said, "Good morning, Aiyin."

"Hmm, good morning..." Facing Bai Qiu, Chihaya Aine nodded gently, her eyes narrowing slightly, but no obvious happy emotion could be seen.

Good morning, Ano-chan.

The lamp was also a little happy and called out to Ai Yin.

Good morning, Tomo...Rin.

With a smile playing on her lips, Chihaya Aine softly responded to Takamatsu Akari.

"Class is about to start, why are you so late today, Ai Yin?" Bai Qiu asked.

However, seeing that Ai Yin at least looked alright, Bai Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Hey, I overslept a bit today," Ai Yin replied with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed.

Then, just then, the school bell rang.

Chihaya Aine then took the opportunity to turn around and sit back in her seat.

With her back to Bai Qiu and Gao Songdeng, Ai Yin's smile gradually faded, her lips finally drooping, her eyebrows drooping slightly, and her gray eyes staring at the table for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

Looking at Aine's long, cherry-pink hair draped over her back.

Bai Qiu's feelings were somewhat complicated.

To outsiders, the three of them were happily exchanging morning greetings as usual, but there were subtle changes that only Bai Qiu could notice.

First, when Aine came in, she tried to go straight back to her seat.

In the past, Aine would have happily skipped in and patted him and Deng on the back, scaring them both...

There were also different ways of addressing him; Ai Yin didn't call him by his name or Qiu Qiu.

Although it was just a name, Bai Qiu felt that the distance between Ai Yin and him was growing.

Have I already lost the right to be called "Qiuqiu" by Ai Yin?

Thinking back to the first time I heard Aine use this name for him, I thought Aine had bad taste in names.

But isn't this title a form of recognition from Ai Yin, showing that she considers him a good friend?

The rest of the morning consisted of classes.

Chihaya Aine sat upright with her back straight, her eyes fixed on the blackboard, seemingly listening attentively to the lesson. She held a pen and slid it across her book, diligently taking notes.

Bai Qiu knew, however, that Ai Yin was avoiding him.

Aine would never have shown this side of herself during class before.

Instead, she would occasionally do little things, like passing him notes, sharing snacks, and sometimes turning around to see what he and the lamp were doing...

Sometimes, this left Bai Qiu feeling somewhat helpless.

After class, Ai-yin would excitedly turn around, her little mouth chattering incessantly about all sorts of random things...

When class resumes, Ai-yin will turn back listlessly, muttering, "The get out of class ended too quickly!"

"There must be something wrong with the school's alarm clock."

"If I were the student council president, I'd extend the ten-minute break between classes to fifteen minutes, hehe!"

But today, none of that is left.

Bai Qiu also tried poking Ai Yin's shoulder, attempting to talk to her to ease the tension and try to get along like before.

In return, Ai Yin treated him with the same businesslike manner as she would any ordinary classmate, offering only a polite smile and response.

This felt terrible to Bai Qiu, a world apart from Ai Yin's previous attitude towards him.

But Bai Qiu understood that this was not Ai Yin's fault, and thought it was normal.

When faced with a guy who rejected her, and his reason for rejection was that he liked two other girls, she felt conflicted.

It would be a miracle if Aine treated him the same way as before.

Aine must be really angry with herself right now, right?

It's normal that Aine doesn't know how to face him and wants to keep her distance.

Who can still treat a guy who has rejected them as a good friend?

If that were true, Bai Qiu felt that it would be putting people in a very difficult position.

No, there are some...

Su Shi's gentle face appeared in Bai Qiu's mind.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu felt her guilt towards Su Shi intensify.

Su Shi, Su Shi, you've been so good to me, how can I ever repay you...?

Bai Qiu felt that even if she had children in the future, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her children to call Su Shi their godmother, right?

"Bai Qiu, Tomorin, you two go eat first! I need to talk to Xi Duo about something, hehe!"

As the last class of the morning ended, Chihaya Aine turned around, smiled, left with this sentence, and then ran out of the classroom in a flash.
