Bai Qiu didn't think much of it.

Chu Hua slowly walked to Bai Qiu's other side.

We entered the planetarium, where the lights were gradually dimming.

The three of them lay back on the chairs in a row of empty seats.

To allow Deng and Chu Hua to have a good chat, Bai Qiu had Deng sit in the middle, while he sat next to Deng in the aisle seat.

The giant screen overhead lit up, displaying a vast and beautiful universe, with countless twinkling stars scattered like tiny gems, forming a magnificent and colorful star map.

At that moment, a deep female voice announced: "What happens when two black holes collide?"

Bai Qiu listened with curiosity. Was this the special program that Deng was talking about?

Half an hour later, the three of them walked out of the planetarium.

Seeing that Lantern and Chu Hua were able to communicate smoothly about the program they had just watched, Bai Qiu couldn't help but smile.

And now that it's so late, Bai Qiu certainly wouldn't let Deng go back alone.

If Li Xi finds out, he probably won't let him off the hook.

But it's not right to call Lixi so late and ask her to come out and deliver a light.

So, Bai Qiu decided to take the lamp home first, and then go back with Chu Hua.

On the skybridge behind the Moon Forest.

Takamatsu stopped and tilted her head to look at the two people beside her, saying softly:

"Qiu, and Chuhua, thank you. My house is just ahead, please drop me off here."

"It's late, you should go home soon."

"Okay, send me a message when you get home." Bai Qiu and Deng waved.

"Goodbye, Deng." Chu Hua waved gently.

"Mm." Gao Songdeng nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance, and said, "Bye-bye..."

Takamatsu turned around and slowly walked forward, then looked back at the two people standing under the streetlight, seemingly cuddling together.

I'm a little envious of Chu Hua, who gets to spend time alone with Qiu...

As the lamp gradually disappeared into the distance, Bai Qiu slowly turned around, faced Chu Hua, and asked, "Chu Hua, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

Upon hearing Bai Qiu's words, Sanjiao Chuhua slightly raised her head, her captivating purple eyes, even more alluring in the night, revealing a hint of contemplation.

"Hmm..." She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to tidy her hair up, a charming smile playing on her lips, and replied, "It seems there aren't any more."

"Then I'll take you back," Bai Qiu said, looking at the other person.

Bai Qiu already knew that Chu Hua's residence was actually not far from him.

The location where they separated is right in front of this donut shop.

If it weren't so late and the donut shop hadn't closed, he would have bought a few donuts for Mana to thank her.

Otherwise, he and Chu Hua would never have had the chance to meet.

Downstairs at Chu Hua's apartment building.

"That's all for now, Chuhua. I'm going back too," Bai Qiu said.

"Would you like to come to my place for a while?"

Misaka Hatsuka tugged at Shiro's sleeve, her eyes shining slightly, and extended an invitation expectantly, "Mana lives next door too."

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head somewhat uncertainly:

"No, that would be too late. I have school tomorrow."

Sanjiao Chuhua gave a somewhat regretful answer.

She realized it was indeed getting late.

But Bai Qiu being confessed to by a bassist, and the sudden appearance of Deng, both brought Chu Hua a strange sense of crisis.

"Qiu, could you lower your head a little?"

Chu Hua suddenly spoke up, moving from the side to Bai Qiu and asking a question.

“…Okay.” Bai Qiu looked puzzled, but still lowered her head slightly. “What’s wrong?”

Then, Sanjiao Chuhua gently placed her black hat on Bai Qiu's head and straightened it.

"This is for you."

"Thanks, Chuhua."

Bai Qiu touched the brim of his hat and smiled.

At the same time, he was thinking about what gift he could give Chuhua another day, but then a familiar, tender touch welled up in his arms again.

Chu Hua stretched out her slender, lotus-root-like arms and gently hugged him, this time with a light and delicate touch.

"I'm also very grateful to Qiu for playing with me tonight."

Sanjiao Chuhua looked up at Bai Qiu with a slight blush rising to her cheeks, revealing a shy smile.

Bai Qiu took a deep breath, but the air in front of her seemed to be imbued with the girl's faint fragrance.

Bai Qiu glanced around, then reached out and flicked Chu Hua's smooth forehead, saying earnestly and seriously:

"Chu Hua, be more careful next time. At least tell me first. You're an idol. It would be terrible if someone else saw what happened."

"……okay, I get it."

Chu Hua answered softly, her expression a little embarrassed, but the upturned corners of her lips betrayed her.

Chapter 204 Should we go check on Su Shi?

After Chu Hua left, Bai Qiu patted her heart, still feeling lingering fear.

He unexpectedly encountered his childhood sweetheart, Chuhua, at the firm. Her imposing face was as powerful as a succubus, and he almost couldn't defeat her despite his best efforts.

Bai Qiu turned around and went home, quickening her pace.

High-rise apartment, 45th floor.

Bai Qiu stood at the door of her house, but did not go in immediately.

His gaze lingered between his own front door and the Su family's front door, hesitating whether or not to greet Su Shi.

Although Chu Hua's words of encouragement had improved Bai Qiu's mood considerably.

But he was also worried that Su Shi might misunderstand that he was deliberately avoiding her today, which was why he didn't have dinner with her.

It's already past eleven o'clock. Su Shi doesn't stay up late, so maybe she's already asleep?

Being indecisive wasn't Bai Qiu's style, so he decisively rang the doorbell.

After waiting a while, no one came to open the door. Normally, Su Shi would have opened the door long ago.

So she's asleep?

Bai Qiu frowned as he thought about it, then turned his head...

Let's go back a few hours to when Bai Qiu and Nagasaki Motoyo parted ways.

Pedestrians come and go in front of the station.

Nagasaki Suze stood silently like a statue, her gaze fixed on Bai Qiu's receding figure.

The composure she had been trying so hard to maintain in the practice room vanished as Bai Qiu left, as if a thin veil had been easily torn away.

Su Shi lowered her eyes, and beneath her long eyelashes, a few glistening tears could be faintly seen, as if they might burst forth at any moment.

Actually, Bai Qiu had occasionally stayed out late for dinner before.

But this time, Su Shi felt incredibly disappointed.

Because of yesterday's confession, she felt that...

Is Bai Qiu avoiding her?

She wanted to follow him, to say, "Please don't abandon me, okay?"

But they lacked the courage.

My heart clenched painfully, and I bit my lip, standing there for quite a while.

Su Shicai took a difficult step and walked onto the platform.

She waited for the bus, boarded it, and leaned silently against the door, oblivious to the surrounding noise.

Nagasaki Motoyoshi didn't go grocery shopping, but it took him longer than usual to get home.

If the confession had been successful, and if Bai Qiu were still alive, he would probably be shopping for groceries with her right now.

Su Shi thought with a touch of bitterness.

Once inside, he remained silent, his thoughts wandering aimlessly.

She lay quietly on the sofa, in the same spot Bai Qiu had sat in yesterday, as if this way she could feel a little more of his presence and fill the emptiness in her heart.

Nagasaki Motoyo held her phone, looking at the smiling photo of her and Bai Qiu standing together on her mygo account, but her eyes were filled with loneliness.

I want to confide in someone about my bad feelings, but I don't know who to talk to.

After an unknown amount of time, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly got up, washed the rice, cooked it, boiled water, and casually made two side dishes.

Because I wasn't concentrating, I didn't realize the water had boiled until much later.

Looking at the empty seat opposite me, I no longer saw any familiar faces or voices.

Nagasaki Motoyo chewed on her white rice, finding it tasteless and lacking the strength or even the inclination to pick up any vegetables.

She casually ate a few bites, leaving only her bowl unwashed, which she then placed in the sink.

Afterwards, Nagasaki Motoyo sat back down on the sofa and stared blankly into space.

It was very late, and she didn't seem to hear Bai Qiu return, but then the doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Shi's dim eyes brightened slightly as she slowly perked up, a glimmer of anticipation flashing through her heart.

Could it be Bai Qiu?

She rushed to the door and opened it.

Although she had been waiting for quite a while, Bai Qiu was very patient and did not immediately turn around and go home.

He turned his head and stretched his neck. He had been lying in the planetarium for a while, but his neck was still a little sore.

Then the door opened.

"Bai... Qiu, you're back."

Nagasaki Motoyo stared at the other person in a daze, then slowly asked with a hint of surprise, "So late?"

Bai Qiu nodded helplessly, noticing that Su Shi's expression suggested she wasn't feeling well.

"Has Su Shi not rested yet?"

"……Um."

The two exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head.

It's happening again. She's already a little afraid to face it.

"Um, I'm a little hungry, do you have any leftovers?"

At this moment, Bai Qiu reached out and touched her stomach, saying somewhat embarrassedly.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head and hurriedly smiled, saying, "Yes, yes... Come in quickly."

Seeing the smile return to Su Shi's face, Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly praising himself for his quick thinking.

He wasn't actually that hungry.

Bai Qiu ate a very full dinner with Chu Hua, but Chu Hua insisted on paying the bill, giving Bai Qiu a rare experience of being taken care of by Qing Mei.

Look at Chu Hua, then look at that girl with short blue hair.
