The lamp held a mixture of doubt, curiosity, and a hint of anticipation.
Does Qiu know Xiangzi?
If there were an autumn, could we find Xiangzi?
Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's call, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to leave. Her brows furrowed, and her round face gradually tightened until it turned cold.
When Takamatsu noticed Shoko's face gradually turning cold, he felt hurt and instinctively tried to run away.
She sensed that Xiangzi didn't want to see her!
"Light, don't run away!"
Bai Qiu waved and shouted.
However, Toyokawa Shoko, who had just become indifferent, widened her eyes, which turned into surprise and doubt.
Because, when Bai Qiu shouted for the lantern not to run away, he grabbed her wrist.
What does it mean? !
Bai Qiu's voice came from behind Gao Songdeng, and it worked.
Takamatsu paused, her body still trembling slightly, and hesitated to turn around.
During this time, Toyokawa Shoko turned her angry eyes to Bai Qiu, as if questioning why she was being held.
Bai Qiu blinked and said softly, "Sorry, I grabbed the wrong one in my haste..."
Toyokawa Shoko didn't struggle, and Bai Qiu didn't seem to intend to loosen his grip either; he simply relaxed his strength and then asked:
"Xiangzi shouldn't run away, right?"
Toyokawa Shoko's cold expression vanished, and she bit her lip, her expression turning somewhat bitter.
Having said that, how could she possibly run away?
Although she had just considered leaving through the back door.
But now that Bai Qiu has asked her, if she still leaves, wouldn't it really be like running away, making her seem weak?
The proud Shoko Toyokawa would not allow it.
Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, who seemed to have lost her train of thought, Bai Qiu continued:
"Isn't this a great opportunity? Why don't we tell Deng now?"
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
Toyokawa Shoko frowned, clenched her teeth, and her originally bright red lips turned slightly pale.
Bai Qiu's words echoed in her ears; although she didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.
She will spend the next three years at this school with Deng.
Even if you don't run into them in the morning or evening, you'll run into them at noon.
Unless she transfers to another school, which is not possible given her current circumstances.
Does this mean I have to give Deng a hard time every time I see him from now on?
If it's Nagasaki Motoyo, that's a different story...
Once or twice is ok.
In the long run, Xiangzi knew he couldn't do it...
If she really did that, wouldn't she become a truly sinner?
The lamp is innocent.
Perhaps I should really wish Deng well, after all, Deng has moved on and has a new band.
At that moment, Toyokawa Shoko felt her wrist loosen again.
She subconsciously looked down, and her wrist, which had been held by Bai Qiu, had already loosened.
Xiangzi was slightly taken aback, and felt inexplicably disappointed.
Bai Qiu looked a little embarrassed and said, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten yet. Should I leave with Deng first?"
What a lame excuse!
Toyokawa Shoko thought.
You were the one who asked me to stay, and now you're making excuses for me.
Then, all of Xiangzi's emotions turned into a silent sigh, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"This is……?"
Bai Qiu looked slightly puzzled, but then revealed a relieved smile.
Toyokawa Shoko said with a hint of bitterness, "You're right."
"Should I call the light over?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Toyokawa Shoko shook her head. Since she had made up her mind, she would rely on herself.
She looked in the direction of the light and called softly, "Light, can we talk?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng was surprised and turned to look at Xiangzi, but then shrank back without much courage.
Bai Qiu nodded to Xiangzi, then walked towards the front door, pausing briefly as she passed Gao Songdeng.
Gao Songdeng looked at Bai Qiu, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Lamp, Xiangzi is waiting for you."
Bai Qiu simply said, her eyes full of encouragement, and then reached out to ruffle the hair on the top of Deng's head.
Without hesitating for long, Deng mustered his courage and nodded.
Bai Qiu closed the music room door, leaned against the railing, and left the time to them.
Looking at the small lamp slowly approaching, Xiangzi felt a pang of self-reproach.
After all, Deng hadn't done anything wrong, and I shouldn't have blamed her back then.
Toyokawa Shoko's expression softened, and she mustered the courage to stop standing there and walked up to the lamp.
Then, Xiangzi reached out and tidied up the few strands of hair that were hanging lightly in front of Deng's face.
"Saki-chan..."
"Hmm...light..."
Chapter 98 I wish you happiness
Outside the door, in the corridor.
Bai Qiu was scrolling through her phone, getting a little bored.
It took quite a while.
Just then, the door behind him made a sound. Bai Qiu turned around and the door was pushed open. Toyokawa Shoko and Takamatsu Akira walked out one after the other.
Bai Qiu glanced at the expressions on their faces; it seemed their conversation had gone smoothly.
Toyokawa Shoko seemed to narrow her eyes at Bai Qiu, then turned to Takamatsu Akari with a gentle smile and said:
"Light, I'm going back now."
Gao Songdeng blushed slightly, nodded, and waved to Xiangzi.
"Um... Xiao Xiang, bye-bye."
Toyokawa Shoko walked up to Bai Qiu and stopped.
She said earnestly to Bai Qiu, "Thank you..."
Bai Qiu smiled and said, "No need to thank me, it's all thanks to your own efforts."
Xiangzi paused for a moment, then gently raised his arm.
It was the hand that Bai Qiu had just grabbed, and also the hand that Bai Qiu had injured back then.
"Idiot!" Xiangzi was slightly dissatisfied with Bai Qiu's attitude of not caring about his efforts.
Without you, I might have remained indifferent, closed myself off, hurt the lamp, and hurt everyone.
Although her current situation is so bad that she can't face anyone.
Her pride prevented her former teammates from knowing what had happened to her, and she didn't want to see pity in their eyes.
But at least, Xiangzi resolved not to keep hiding any longer, since he couldn't hide forever.
At the very least, we must try to resolve the debt burden we have. Although the debt is heavy, we must strive to alleviate some of it.
It will become even stronger than before.
Then, standing fearlessly before everyone once again!
After taking a deep breath, Toyokawa Shoko gave Bai Qiu a confident smile.
"Please don't just ignore your contributions."
"Otherwise, I'll get angry."
After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko walked away with slightly hurried steps, lacking the dignified gait of a young lady she usually possessed.
She walked faster and faster.
Because if she stayed here any longer, Bai Qiu and Deng would see the embarrassment on her face; a blush had spread from her round face to her ears.
Bai Qiu was stunned for a moment; he thought he had just seen a succubus.
Takamatsu took a step closer.
The two watched as Xiangzi's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, turning the corner of the corridor, going down the stairs, and then vanishing.
The lamp opened its mouth, then closed it again, looking slightly disappointed.
Bai Qiu felt something was off.
Judging from Xiangzi's state, it was as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and the gloom that had been hanging over him had been greatly dispelled, resulting in a significant change in his mental state.
The contrast is especially stark compared to my last encounter with Nagasaki Motoyo.
So, what is Gaosong Deng losing?
Oh well, it's a pity I didn't hear their conversation.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qiu asked, "What did Xiangzi say?"
Deng had no intention of hiding anything; on the contrary, she wanted to confide in Bai Qiu.
"Xiangzi apologized to me and said he didn't blame me."
Bai Qiu nodded.
Although it was either him or Lixi.
They all emphasized that the lamp was not wrong.
However, they have a habit of blaming themselves for mistakes.
This would make Gao Songdeng feel that this was just to comfort her, and that she could not be truly relieved.
But when Xiangzi himself says it, it has a different meaning for the lamp.
"Xiangzi also wished the band good luck."
"besides……"
The lamp hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something, and said blankly:
"Wish me happiness."
Gao Songdeng didn't quite understand what Xiangzi meant.
But... in short...
The sensitive and perceptive Gao Songdeng felt that she had not truly reconciled with Xiangzi.
