When they were alone together, Xiangzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
The thought of how she had secretly kissed Bai Qiu that day caused a blush to rise on the girl's face, her body to feel hot, and her heart to be filled with shyness.
I was so reckless...
Why did she have that kind of courage that day...?
However, looking at Bai Qiu's profile, Xiangzi thought he should try again.
And next time, I don't want it to be just about the corner of my mouth...
"Xiangzi, what's wrong?"
Bai Qiu touched his face in surprise. Why did Xiangzi look at him like he wanted to eat him alive?
"What do you want with me?" Bai Qiu asked with a smile.
Actually, Bai Qiu felt a little guilty facing Xiangzi now.
After being confessed to by Su Shi, Bai Qiu realized that she actually had feelings for both Xiangzi and Deng at the same time...
Startled by Bai Qiu's voice, Xiangzi looked away and stammered, "Let's eat first."
Bai Qiu nodded silently.
Xiangzi handed a bento box to Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu lifted the lid and squinted to look inside.
The box was neatly arranged with various exquisite foods: vegetable salad, hamburger patties, and cute sushi rolls.
"Xiangzi, did you make this yourself?"
"Hmm." Xiangzi nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Bai Qiu hasn't had my cooking in a long time, has she?"
“Yes,” Bai Qiu said softly, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
The two began to taste the food.
After catching his breath, Xiangzi glanced at Bai Qiu with a sly smile on his face.
"Actually, I have some good news to tell you."
"Take a guess."
After taking a bite of the hamburger patty, Bai Qiu felt that Xiangzi's cooking skills were almost catching up with Su Shi's.
He stroked his chin thoughtfully, feigning profundity, and said:
"Is it about Mujica?"
"Hmm." Xiangzi paused slightly, then nodded and smiled, "Keep guessing."
Bai Qiu thought about it for a moment, and based on Hai Ling's information, guessed:
"Could it be that Mujica is about to debut?"
Shoko Toyokawa blinked in surprise, her bright red lips parting slightly.
She deliberately didn't tell Bai Qiu about Mujica during this time, thinking she could give Bai Qiu a surprise later.
"Did Chu Hua tell you that?"
Xiangzi couldn't help but ask, or perhaps it was Mu?
Seeing Xiangzi's expression, Bai Qiu knew that she had guessed correctly.
"No, I just guessed."
Xiangzi breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least it wasn't Mu or Chuhua who secretly told Bai Qiu.
Then Xiangzi told Bai Qiu the specific debut date.
"Bai Qiu, do you have time that day?"
"Of course I do," Bai Qiu replied with a smile. "Even if I don't have time, I'll find a way to make time."
"Then I'll give you the tickets in advance," Xiangzi said happily.
As it was Mujica's debut live performance, Xiangzi definitely hoped that Bai Qiu would come to see it.
"Okay." Bai Qiu nodded slightly, and after observing Xiangzi's dark circles and the weariness hidden beneath them, she couldn't help but ask:
"Xiangzi, has your training been very tough lately?"
"It's alright." Xiangzi didn't seem to care much about it.
Bai Qiu pointed to Xiangzi's eyes and said, "Your dark circles are very bad."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiangzi subconsciously reached out to touch his eyes.
Even if the work is hard, Xiangzi still needs to get enough sleep and balance work and rest.
"Yeah...I will."
Hearing Bai Qiu's caring words, Xiangzi nodded slightly, feeling a warmth in his heart, and felt that all the hard work he had done during this period was worthwhile.
"It's normal to work hard before your debut," Xiangzi explained with a smile.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Bai Qiu asked.
Xiangzi looked up and pondered, then, as if suddenly remembering something, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"By the way, Bai Qiu, could you take a look at the script for Mujica for me?" Xiangzi said excitedly, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
If Bai Qiu hadn't brought it up, Xiangzi would have forgotten that Bai Qiu was a popular light novel author.
Regarding the script, I might have experience and ideas.
Mujica's opera scripts are almost entirely written and overseen by her alone.
If Bai Qiu could offer some suggestions and make some improvements, Mujica's worldview would become even more perfect.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi felt a surge of anticipation.
In this way, Mujica is a product of her collaboration with Bai Qiu, something she created together, and a bond that connects the two of them!
Bai Qiu responded with a smile, her tone relaxed and natural.
Although he didn't know if he could connect with Xiangzi's adolescent angst, he at least had a wealth of entertainment knowledge from another world, so he could offer some advice.
The two then chatted over lunch.
Bai Qiu also told Xiangzi about the music festival and mygo's plan to go camping.
Upon hearing about camping, Xiangzi felt inexplicably worried.
Doesn't that mean we'll have to spend the night outside?
Xiangzi sent Bai Qiu a copy of the electronic document of the Mujica drama using his mobile phone.
Bai Qiu also got into work mode, carefully reviewing the script and discussing it with Xiangzi.
Meanwhile, Chihaya Aine's high spirits gradually cooled down due to the sudden appearance of Toyokawa Shoko.
Bai Qiu should have gone to the cafeteria with her at this time.
After buying a bread at the cafeteria, Ai Yin went to the Astronomy Department, sat down in a chair, and slumped onto the table.
"Aine-chan, aren't you going to eat?"
Seeing Aine's actions, Takamatsu Akari, who was taking small bites of her rice ball, stopped and asked.
Chihaya Aine sighed deeply, rested her chin on the table, and looked up at Takamatsu Akira across from her, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Tomorin, what do you think Toyokawa-kun wants with Qiuqiu?"
Ai Yin asked casually.
When Aine thought about what Su Shi had said before, that Bai Qiu might like Deng or Xiangzi, she felt a strange sense of crisis.
As for the lamp, Aine knows it fairly well; it's almost impossible for her to confess to Bai Qiu on her own initiative, right?
Toyokawa Shoko doesn't know. What if Bai Qiu gets captured beforehand?
Just thinking about that kind of thing made Chihaya Aine feel terrible, even a little irritable.
"I am not sure as well."
Takamatsu shook his head, looking somewhat apologetic.
She was also somewhat concerned about why Xiangzi was looking for Bai Qiu.
"Ugh...ouch!"
Ai Yin sighed again and shook her head.
Recalling what Aine had taught him about the feeling of liking someone, Takamatsu Akari asked in confusion:
"Ano-chan... are you jealous?"
"Eh?!!"
As if her secret had been exposed, Chihaya Aine suddenly looked up and let out a girlish scream.
Fortunately, thinking that the person in front of her was just Takamatsu Akari, Chihaya Aine took a few breaths to calm down after looking at Akari's innocent appearance.
"Ahem, yes, a little bit..."
Ai Yin said somewhat shyly, her hand unconsciously circling the pink hair draped over her shoulder, "After all, Qiu Qiu usually eats with us!"
Takamatsu Akari nodded her head, looking confused. So Aine-chan also liked Aki.
After thinking for a moment, she comforted him:
"It's okay if it's Xiao Xiang."
Chihaya Aine leaned back in her chair, tore open the bread wrapper, took a few bites, and asked:
"What if Xiangzi also likes Bai Qiu?"
Gao Songdeng thought for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face:
"That way, everyone can be together."
Ai Yin blinked in surprise, chuckled twice, and realized she had consulted the wrong person. She should have consulted Soyorin about this kind of thing.
At the same time, Chihaya Aine had decided that she had to hurry and couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't maintain any balance anymore.
Otherwise, Bai Qiu would really be snatched away by Toyokawa Shoko.
At the very least, Bai Qiu should know her feelings first.
Chapter 219 Chihaya Aine Came Prepared
Friday, 8 p.m.
Bai Qiu was having dinner with Su Shi, chatting casually about various topics.
Su Shi peeled a large shrimp for Bai Qiu, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in Bai Qiu's bowl. Su Shi thoroughly enjoyed this warm and cozy time that belonged only to the two of them.
If only things could stay this way...
"Mu... seems a bit tired lately."
Thinking about Ruoye Mutsu's recent state at school, Su Shi mentioned it briefly.
"That's it."
Bai Qiu nodded thoughtfully.
Was Mujica's training too tough?
In addition, he remembered that Mu also had a lot of extracurricular courses to take, such as piano, ballet, and acting.
Will Mu be too busy?
Bai Qiu seemed somewhat helpless as to Su Shi's gesture of helping to peel the shrimp.
He refused at first.
But in the end, she couldn't resist the stubborn Su Shi.
“We’re going to be a band for life. Bai Qiu has said that we’re good friends. Don’t you want me to help with something like this?”
Su Shi bit her thin lips, and the sound that came out of her mouth was somewhat aggrieved and resentful.
