But in reality, no one in the band felt anything special about the end of the band.

At most, he'd give him a strange look, and Yamada Ryo would chirp at him a few times.

This puts Bai Qiu under pressure and makes her feel awkward.

But in order to have the opportunity to hold a joint live performance between the two bands in the future, this is a hurdle that must be faced sooner or later.

"Everyone will be very happy to see the band end," Bai Qiu said with a smile.

Lixi nodded to indicate that he understood.

Since Bai Qiu said there was no problem, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.

She also really wants to perform at other live houses.

The afternoon was spent chatting and learning to compose.

It wasn't until after six o'clock.

There was a knock on Lixi's door.

Because Bai Qiu was nearby, she got up and went to open the door.

It's Riki's older sister, Shiina Maki.

"Looking for Li Xi?" Bai Qiu asked with a smile.

"I'm looking for the two of you."

Shiina Maki smiled slightly and strolled into the room.

Then he curiously observed Lixi's room and even sniffed it.

Li Xi turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Seeing that both of their attention was focused on her, Shiina Maki chuckled, pulled out two slips of paper from her pocket, and smiled at Bai Qiu:

"I have two tickets here for the temple fair nearby tonight. Bai Qiujun, do you have time to come with me?"

Chapter 206 The band is really useful

When faced with Shiina Maki's words, it was Tachibana who reacted first.

Lixi subconsciously stood up from the chair and looked at her sister with wide eyes.

Realizing that her behavior might have been a bit excessive, Shiina Tatsuki quickly added:

"Wait a minute, Bai Qiu is going to study composition."

"Haven't I studied enough all afternoon? It's time to take a break." Shiina Maki tilted her head back in thought, a contented smile on her face.

"And Lixi, I was asking about Bai Qiujun!"

"Me?" Bai Qiu gave Maki a strange look.

He couldn't help but point to himself, to make sure he hadn't misheard.

He and Maki went to the temple fair?

There's something subtly off about it.

Could it be that he unknowingly entered Shiina Maki's route?

Perhaps because she had just experienced Su Shi's confession, Bai Qiu's thoughts couldn't help but lean in that direction.

No, no, no, no, that's impossible!

He's only met Shiina Maki a few times.

This way of thinking is somewhat believable.

Maki-sama is the one who led the Haneoka Brass Band to win the regional gold medal.

Besides, it would be more appropriate for the two sisters to do this kind of thing.

"Maki-neechan, I'm going back now. Why don't you and Riki go have some fun together? Have a great time," Bai Qiu said with a smile.

"Huh? Huh?!"

Shiina Maki made a surprised sound, looked at Shiraaki, and pretended to be sad: "I was actually rejected, Shiraaki-kun is so cold!"

Bai Qiu shrugged indifferently; he wouldn't be deceived by Maki.

Shiina Tatsuki, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought of Bai Qiu going to the temple fair with her sister made her feel uneasy.

At that moment, she noticed that both of their eyes were focused on her.

Li Xi's mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

What if she refuses, and it really turns out that her sister and Bai Qiu go together?

Fine, I'll agree anyway. Let her and her sister go.

However, before Riki could speak, Shiina Maki sighed softly, her tone tinged with melancholy:

"Actually, I have other things to take care of tonight, so I don't have time to play."

"So, these two tickets are yours to handle!" she said to herself, and casually stuffed the tickets into Bai Qiu's hands.

"Don't waste my ticket!" With that, Shiina Maki left the room with a smile.

Lixi, Lixi, you should be secretly happy to have a sister like me!

Bai Qiu helplessly rubbed the tickets in his hand, so he could only go with Li Xi.

It's not that it's impossible, but there seem to be better candidates.

"Lixi, why don't you ask Deng if he's free tonight?"

Bai Qiu knew exactly how much Li Xi wanted to go out and play with Deng.

"……it is good."

Shiina Riki paused for a moment, then nodded.

Going with the lamp is fine too.

Shiina Tatsuki dialed Takamatsu Akari's number.

"Sorry, Riki-chan..."

"It's kind of you to invite me, but my mom and I went to visit my grandma today, so we're not home..."

"How about... how about you ask Aine-chan if she has time to go with you?"

The voice of Takamatsu Akira, full of apologies, came through the phone.

"It's okay, light."

Shiina Tatsuki hung up the phone, her brows furrowing slightly.

Of course, she couldn't possibly call and invite Chihaya Aine to go to the temple fair together.

Even if she takes a stray cat with her, it won't make things any more difficult for her, let alone take her out to play.

Su Shi, that guy Su Shi probably isn't interested in this kind of thing!

Shiina Riki looked up at Bai Qiu, her expression somewhat conflicted.

"It's a bit of a shame," Bai Qiu said.

He naturally heard the phone call too.

"How about we go together?"

It seemed that Bai Qiu had also considered Li Xi's concerns, so he tried asking her a question.

However, this means I won't be able to have dinner with Su Shi tonight.

Shiina Tatsuki replied, adding casually, "After all, my sister said not to waste the tickets."

Bai Qiu and Li Xi arrived at the location of the temple fair.

It wasn't far from Lixi's house, and the two of them walked here.

At this moment, the entire street where the temple fair is located is covered by warm yellow lights, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere.

Among the passersby, there were men, women, young and old, and many of them were wearing yukatas.

Bai Qiu and Li Xi, who decided to go out on short notice, were naturally dressed in their everyday clothes.

After observing the lively scene before him, Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder when was the last time he visited a temple fair.

It seems that Wei invited him to go shopping together last year.

"There are so many people, Lixi."

Without continuing to think about it, Bai Qiu smiled and sighed, turning her attention to Li Xi.

Is there anything in particular you'd like to play?

"Yes, there are a lot of people."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Looking around at the couples coming and going, arm in arm, her expression was somewhat stiff.

It's okay, she and Bai Qiu are just teammates.

Li Xi hypnotized himself.

After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Let's just wander around and see."

Bai Qiu: "Okay."

So Bai Qiu and Li Xi aimlessly followed and squeezed into the crowd.

There seem to be plenty of entertainment options on both sides of the road, and of course, there are also various food stalls.

However, they didn't walk more than a few steps.

Lixi slowed down a beat; she seemed to have been distracted by something.

Bai Qiu stopped and looked in the direction she was looking.

A black and white, fluffy item was placed on the back shelf on the ground—a panda plush toy.

Seeing Li Xi's eager expression, Bai Qiu couldn't help but smile.

So Lixi has a girlish side too.

He has always treated Lixi and Hailing as good buddies.

Of course, such disrespectful thoughts towards Li Xi must not be said in front of her, otherwise one would suffer the punishment of Li Xi's powerful finger strike.

"Let's play ring toss! I'm actually quite interested in it."

"Well, let's give it a try then."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, clenched his fist, and walked forward with a slightly excited expression to pay.

Bai Qiu also paid for a few hoops.

The stall owner handed over a round plastic ring with a smile.

The first one or two rows were filled with cheap trinkets, while the panda plush toy was placed in the second-to-last row, in a prominent position.

The difficulty is evident.

Li Xi rubbed his hands together, narrowed his eyes, aimed at his favorite panda plush toy, and threw the plastic ring.

The plastic ring was thrown to the ground and immediately collapsed.

It failed the first time.

Lixi did not lose heart.

However, as the number of times increases...

The second time, the third time, ...

Lixi's face began to tense up, and the plastic ring in her hand was almost gone.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu couldn't help but think of something.
