Chapter 247 Li Xi: I'm sorry, the light...
"Standing in the middle of the crossroads, mingling with the bustling crowd."
"I alone wander aimlessly, like a drifter."
"Those popular songs can never express my true feelings..."
On the starry stage, the band mygo, dressed in their team uniforms, is playing their last song of the day, which is also their new song, "Starry Night Call".
The band members watched intently from below the stage; they didn't have any performances scheduled for today.
Unlike the first time I saw Bai Qiu and mygo's performance, I felt a complex and somewhat melancholy emotion.
Hongxia and the others were in a pretty relaxed mood today.
After all, the two bands had gradually become familiar with each other and become friends. Bai Qiu often said that they should hold a joint live performance together in the future.
So this time, Hongxia and the others watched with the intention of cheering them on.
At this moment, Kita Ikuyo was taking photos in front of the stage, just as she had said she would.
This is the kind, generous, friendly, and considerate Ending Band.
If Bai Qiu's first band was Mygo, and she went on to join other bands, especially those with girls, it probably wouldn't have been so smooth, right?
Bai Qiu, who was playing the keyboard on stage at that moment, was thinking the same thing.
Of course, thinking about how their keyboardist, who used to be theirs alone, was now performing with girls from other bands, Hongxia and the others still harbored some possessiveness towards Bai Qiu.
It's hard not to feel a sense of competition with mygo deep down.
But this can actually become a driving force for them to move forward.
Hongxia thought to herself with a strange feeling that Qiujun and mygo's friends seemed to have a deeper bond than the band she had ended.
Is it her imagination?
However, considering all the twists and turns that happened between Bai Qiu and mygo, Hong Xia could understand. Compared to that, ending the band went too smoothly.
Is there any way to deepen the bond between Qiu Jun and the End Band?
Hongxia shook her head and gave a beautiful smile. Qiu Jun had said that both bands were his favorites.
When Liang asked him a question before, he said he liked everyone in the band.
Not long after, mygo's performance came to an end, and judging from the cheers of the surrounding audience, it received a very good response.
After Bai Qiu and the others, their faces covered in sweat, stepped down from the stage.
Kita stepped forward, holding his phone, and exclaimed, "The performance was fantastic! I also took lots of photos!"
Ichiri also praised Aine, saying, "Aine's guitar skills are better than before."
"Oh~" Yamada Ryo clapped his hands symbolically.
"Thank you." Ai Yin chuckled. "My C chord playing was pretty good, wasn't it?"
Hongxia thoughtfully brought over tissues and drinking water, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work!"
"Thank you Hongxia."
Bai Qiu smiled and thanked Hong Xia, then helped pass on the drinking water.
His smooth sailing all this time is inseparable from the thoughtful support of Hongxia behind the scenes.
"When did Qiu Jun become so polite to me?"
Hongxia blinked, feigning displeasure, then smiled gently, "You don't need to be so polite with me!"
Bai Qiu chuckled helplessly, "Alright, I was being too polite."
Nagasaki Motoyo silently observed, wondering if Nijika's attributes overlapped somewhat with her own.
What if Bai Qiu gets attracted to him?!
Afterwards, while watching other bands perform, everyone chatted and talked about the music festival.
Kita sent the photos he had just taken to Aine, and they also exchanged experiences on band management.
"Qiuqiu, why is this happening...?"
Seeing the comparison of the number of fans of the two bands, Ai Yin couldn't help but pout and complain to Bai Qiu, "I update my account status every day!"
"So, hard work really doesn't guarantee a reward?!"
"Is it because you posted too much content unrelated to the band that you had the opposite effect?"
Bai Qiu shook her head in annoyance and said:
“Our band has only been together for less than two months, and you’ve already posted almost two hundred updates. Where do you get so much to share? It’s practically your WeChat Moments.”
Bai Qiu finally found an opportunity to properly talk about Aine.
If there's really no content, then there's no need to update it.
"And Kita, you too."
Bai Qiu then looked at Kita, who seemed somewhat gloating, and said, "Don't laugh."
"Huh?! Me too?" Kita felt strange. "Although I post quite a lot, I don't think I post as much as Aine, and I've gained more followers!"
Bai Qiu's tone was somewhat subtle, "Then why are all the comments under the post looking for you? It's like your fans only know you?"
The band's account was turned into a personal fan account by Kita, but at least it gained followers.
Under Ai Yin's management, the number of posts on the mygo account once exceeded the number of followers.
"This one……"
Kita looked awkwardly at the floor.
Kita and Aine then crouched down in a corner, feeling ashamed.
Seeing this, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't dare to speak, afraid that sitting at the same table as the two of them would lower her image in Bai Qiu's eyes.
Because the Crychic account wasn't doing much better under her management before, with only a handful of followers.
But that's all because Crychic existed for too short a time, so it's not her fault.
Afterwards, everyone ordered takeout and had dinner together at Fanxing, and then they all prepared to leave.
Bai Qiu let Mygo and the others, along with Kita and Ichiri, leave first.
He wanted to stay and help clean up the mess.
Although he managed to balance his practice time between the two bands well, his working hours at Starry Night were significantly reduced.
You should know that Ichiji Hoshika had given Bai Qiu special privileges; if he wanted to come and work for her, he just needed to let her know in advance.
At first, Bai Qiu would come a few times from time to time, but recently she has been working at Fanxing less often because she goes to her firm.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Bai Qiu decided to stay and help out today.
Although Nagasaki Motoyo wanted to stay and wait for Shiraaki, everyone had left, and she didn't have a good reason to stay.
In addition, due to the subconscious urge to obey Bai Qiu, he obediently followed her and left.
Su Shi thought to herself, "I should go back and prepare a late-night snack for Bai Qiu."
Shiina Tatsuki, with a shoulder bag slung over her shoulder and one hand resting on it, stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking at Bai Qiu with a conflicted expression, as if she wanted to say something.
"Riki, why aren't you out yet? We're leaving!"
Outside the starry sky, Ai Yin's urging voice came down.
Li Xi sighed helplessly and caught up with the group.
……
……
Since it was a station on the Shimokitazawa side, and everyone's routes home were different, they soon said goodbye and left one by one.
However, Shiina Tatsuki dutifully fulfilled his duty as a light guard, sitting on a tram with Takamatsu Touka.
The tram had only been traveling for a short while, having just passed two stops.
Shiina Riki tightened her grip on the shoulder bag, as if afraid of accidentally crushing it. The bag looked full, as if it contained quite a lot of things.
Gift……
It hasn't been given to Bai Qiu yet because everyone is here today, and there are too many people, so she hasn't had a chance.
Li Xi's beautiful brows furrowed involuntarily, her heart filled with turmoil as various thoughts clashed and intertwined in her mind.
How to do?
Is it just a matter of waiting until next time?
But I definitely brought it out today...
And was she too embarrassed to give it to everyone because she was in front of them?
Shiina Riki cursed himself inwardly for being so useless.
Suddenly, the flawless face of Misaka Chuka from a few days ago appeared in her mind again. Li Xi's eyes gradually focused, as if she had made up her mind.
She suddenly turned her head to look at the light, opened her mouth and made a sound:
"...Um, the light!"
When Lixi called out his name, his voice suddenly became louder, and Gaosong Deng was slightly startled, trembling like a frightened little animal.
Then he turned his head and gave Lixi a warm smile.
"Taki-chan...?"
"Sorry, light." Li Xi looked a little embarrassed. "Did I scare you?"
Gao Songdeng shook his head indifferently.
Seeing this, Shiina Tatsuki took a deep breath and said, "Akira, can you go home by yourself today?"
At this moment, Qiu Weibing's logic triumphed over Deng Weibing's logic.
"can."
Gao Songdeng nodded, somewhat puzzled.
Gao Songdeng is not a primary school student; she would normally go home by herself.
However, Shiina Riki, the guard, was worried and kept escorting her home. The somewhat shy Takamatsu Akari was too embarrassed to refuse, so she kept letting Riki accompany her home.
"Well... Deng, you should go back first."
Facing Takamatsu Akari, Shiina Tatsuki blushed involuntarily as she thought about what she was going to do later.
"I... I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of and I need to get off at the next stop."
"Okay, Taki-chan, you can go now."
Takamatsu responded softly.
"Um……"
Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's reply, Shiina Tatsuki's tense body slowly relaxed, and he exhaled.
"Taki-chan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that Riki was acting strangely, Takamatsu looked at her with concern once again.
Lixi has helped her a lot all along, and now Deng wants to help and repay Lixi.
"no, I'm fine."
Hearing the light, Li Xi, who had just relaxed, felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and her anxiety was brought back up.
Lixi's gaze drifted guiltily to her thighs. "Deng...you can go home first."
Seemingly afraid that Takamatsu Akari wouldn't believe her, Shiina Tatsuki quickly looked up and added, "I can handle it myself."
"All right……"
Although Takamatsu Akari was a little disappointed after being rejected, she still smiled gently and encouraged him, "Taki-chan, do your best."
"Ah."
Shiina Tatsuki gave a forced smile and responded.
Looking at Takamatsu Takamori's innocent face, Riki felt even more guilty.
I'm sorry...tomori...
Fortunately, the tram arrived at the station not long after. Li Xi quickly got up, left a message, and squeezed out of the tram door, saying, "Deng, I'm leaving now."
As Takamatsu watched Shiina Tatsuki's hurried retreating figure, she subconsciously raised her hand and waved.
He couldn't help but wonder if Li Xi had left something on the stars.
Did you... go to find Qiu?
His body moved before his brain could process it, and by the time Takamatsu came to his senses, he found himself off the tram with the crowd.
Takamatsu Akari subconsciously looked up and searched for Shiina Tatsuki's figure nearby, but couldn't find her.
After hesitating for a while, Takamatsu Akari boarded the next tram back to Shimokitazawa.
