Chapter 237 Xiangzi: Bai Qiu is very important
With a slight bump, the wheels rubbed against the rails, making a creaking sound, and the tram slowly pulled into the station.
The doors opened with a "whoosh" after the tram had come to a complete stop.
A figure with long sky-blue hair stepped out of the tram. Toyokawa Shoko waved goodbye to Bai Qiu and the other two who were still on the tram, seemingly with some helplessness.
At this moment, Xiangzi's feelings were somewhat complicated.
It's one thing that the four of us who came with Bai Qiu ended up going back together, but why was she the first one to get off the bus...? I feel like I lost in some inexplicable way.
The crowd surging in front of the tram doors completely separated Xiangzi's reluctant gaze from Bai Qiu.
The tram then started moving again.
Just when Sanjiao Chuhua thought everything was going as she expected, she was about to have some time alone with Bai Qiu.
Just as Chu Hua's lips curled slightly upward, pondering in her heart what excuse she should use to ask Bai Qiu for a hug.
However, Ruo Yemu did not get off the bus for a long time.
Like a young yellow seedling, she held her guitar case in her hands and nestled beside Bai Qiu. When Bai Qiu spoke to her, a relaxed smile would occasionally appear on her delicate face.
Chu Hua had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Could it be that Xiao Mu's house was also in this direction?
Just as Chu Hua hesitated, looking at Ruo Ye Mu as if about to ask a question, Bai Qiu's voice rang out first.
"By the way, Mutsumi, is your home also in Minato Ward?"
Bai Qiu tilted her head and looked at Ruo Ye Mu with some confusion.
Because Bai Qiu had never been to Mu's house, and Mu had never mentioned it, she didn't know where Mu's house was.
Mu sat quietly beside him and Chu Hua the whole way.
Bai Qiu was too busy chatting to ask any further questions.
But Bai Qiu's subconscious experiences of encountering Ruoye Mu several times subtly told him that Mu's home was probably not in this direction, and there was no reason why it was so close by.
And just two more stops away is the stop where he and Chu Hua will get off.
Could it be that Mu's home is at a later stop?
But if we continue sitting down, we'll reach Tokyo Bay.
Upon hearing Bai Qiu's voice, Ruo Ye Mu opened her mouth, remained silent for two seconds, and then replied softly:
"No."
"Mu..." Bai Qiu's gaze darkened upon hearing this. "You didn't miss your stop, did you?"
"Huh?" Chu Hua exclaimed in surprise from the other side, "Xiao Mu, did you miss your stop?"
"Mmm." Ruoye Mu replied with her head down, her knuckles gripping the violin case, her eyes barely daring to look at Bai Qiu.
There seemed to be another voice in my head shouting something like, "He can't handle it if you act cute."
If Ye Mu subconsciously chose to comply, then mustered her courage and looked at Bai Qiu honestly, she would say:
"...Tonight, I want to go to Qiu's house."
Everyone else has a better relationship with Qiu than she does, and Mu also wants to get closer to Bai Qiu.
Chu Hua's eyes widened in surprise. Even she wouldn't dare to be so direct as to say she wanted to go to Qiu's house at night.
With her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, Chu Hua thought to herself, "Should I be more proactive and bolder?"
She used to feel ashamed of herself and didn't dare to contact Bai Qiu or Xiao Xiang easily.
As a result, we wasted so much time together.
Now she realizes that Bai Qiu doesn't care about any of that.
"..."
Bai Qiu blinked blankly.
They were all a little embarrassed to look at Chu Hua's expression, feeling that Chu Hua was looking at them with a very strange look.
If you say that, Chu Hua could easily misunderstand...
"...can't you?"
Ruo Yemu looked somewhat disappointed, her glistening eyes making her appear pitiful.
Bai Qiu looked at Mu and remained silent for two seconds.
Was Mu a little too close to him today?
Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long?
This made Xiao Mu feel a sense of crisis that she was no longer needed.
Although he is a fan of Nijisanji, he seems to have little resistance to cute little sister-type characters like Mutsu.
So, after carefully and peacefully confirming that it was okay for her not to come home tonight and that her parents wouldn't scold her, they agreed.
The scene changes.
Bai Qiu, along with Chu Hua and Mu, arrived at the entrance of the duplex high-rise apartment in Roppongi.
Yes, Chu Hua did it too.
Bai Qiu, who already knew the art of balancing things well, would not refuse Chu Hua after agreeing to Mu's request.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Chu Hua came along with them.
This further proves that he and his friends are close and honest; nothing could possibly happen between the three of them, and they can keep an eye on each other.
Because it was getting late and Su Shi's mother was home, Bai Qiu gave up the idea of disturbing Su Shi and said that Mu would come over to play instead.
Mu didn't even suggest that he wanted to see Su Shi.
So the three of them went straight into the house.
After several hours of hard training, eating spicy ramen, and then squeezing onto the tram with my instrument bag, I inevitably developed an odor and sweat.
Even without a change of clothes, this bath is still necessary.
Bai Qiu and Chu Hua generously gave Xiao Mutou the chance to take a shower first, although the duplex mansion did have more than one bathroom.
While Ruoye Mu was taking a bath, Chu Hua somewhat embarrassedly suggested that she wanted to go and see Bai Qiu's room.
Bai Qiu readily agreed.
"Chuhua, feel free to take any book you want to read."
Bai Qiu gave a hearty smile and pointed to the pile of small items that Xiangzi and he had sorted together.
Besides Ryo and Ichiri, I remember that Chu Hua was also one of his most loyal readers.
Besides, with Chuhua and Hemu coming, it seems nice to have more liveliness at home.
It seems he won't be able to compose music tonight.
Sorry, Lixi...
"Hmm!" Chu Hua's tone was slightly excited, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc as she curiously observed everything in Bai Qiu's room. "Then I won't be polite."
She bent down with some enjoyment, half-squatting on the ground as she flipped through the light novels written by Bai Qiu, even though she already had every single one at home.
At this moment, Chu Hua felt as if her dream had come true.
Moreover, Chu Hua noticed at a glance that the hat she had given Bai Qiu had also hung on a conspicuous coat rack.
……
As for the room where I rest at night.
Bai Qiu arranged for Xiao Mutou to stay in the room Xiangzi had stayed in before, and for Chu Hua to stay in the room that Ai Yin and Su Shi had slept in last time.
Before going to bed, Ruoye Mu took out her phone to charge it on the bedside table, and that's when she noticed that Xiangzi had sent her a message on Line.
Xiangzi: [Xiao Mu, are you home yet?]
Xiangzi: [Haven't replied for so long, is Xiaomu already asleep?]
Mu: [We've arrived.]
Sitting on the comfortable and soft bed, Ruo Yemu held her phone and replied, thinking that Bai Qiu's home was also a home.
After the message was sent, it quickly became a read message and a new reply was received, indicating that Xiangzi had been sitting in front of his phone screen for some time.
Xiangzi: [That's good. Mu, you haven't replied to me for so long, I was getting a little worried.]
On the other end of the screen, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing the white shirt she had taken from Bai Qiu as pajamas, breathed a sigh of relief.
She was indeed a little worried because Mu hadn't replied for so long.
Mu: [Xiang, I'm fine. I just didn't check my phone.]
Xiangzi: [That's good.]
Mu: [Yeah. 】
The conversation was interrupted at this point. Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a while, struggled with her decision, and finally made up her mind.
Xiangzi: [Xiao Mu, because it's you, I'll be frank.]
睦：【？】
Xiangzi: [After I left the Fengchuan family, I met Bai Qiu. He helped me a lot, and it was because of meeting him that I changed a lot.]
Xiangzi: [So Bai Qiu is very important to me. I want to be with him in the future, and I won't give him up to anyone else.]
Ruo Yemu remained silent for a while, unsure of what Xiangzi meant or how to respond.
Mu: [Okay, I understand.]
Looking at the message sent to Mu, Xiangzi tightened his grip on his phone, feeling a pang of guilt towards Mu.
If Bai Qiu wasn't so important to her, so irreplaceable, and if Xiangzi hadn't even felt that Bai Qiu was all she had left...
Furthermore, Mu's behavior today was too intimate with Bai Qiu, as if I were afraid that Mu might also fall in love with Bai Qiu.
Xiangzi didn't want to talk about this peacefully either.
Feeling guilty towards Mu, Xiangzi decided that he would treat Mu better from now on.
Afterwards, the two said goodnight to each other.
Ruo Yemu sat quietly on the edge of the bed, but did not lie down for a long time. The phone she held tightly in her hand felt like a heavy stone, making her arm ache slightly.
Her golden eyes were now filled with confusion, mixed with a hint of disappointment.
What does 祥 mean?
Does she feel she's too close to Qiu and is competing with her for Bai Qiu?
But... but she never had that thought.
