Chapter 257 Xiangzi: Bai Qiu, I want to see you
The next morning, when Bai Qiu woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was a flawless face that could only be described as "great".
Bai Qiu was all too familiar with the owner of this face.
"Chuhua, how did you end up lying next to me?"
Still feeling a bit sleepy, Bai Qiu forced her eyes open, mustered her energy, and asked the question.
"...that, that one."
Sankaku Hatsuka paused for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes.
It seemed they hadn't expected Bai Qiu to wake up so early.
He seemed to be feeling guilty.
He seems to be thinking of an excuse.
Chu Hua glanced carefully at the two fading red marks on her neck beneath Bai Qiu's collar, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She didn't mean to.
I hope Qiu won't blame her...
Chu Hua lowered her head and whispered, "Last night we lay here together looking at the stars, and then I think we accidentally fell asleep."
"I... I just woke up too."
Stargazing?
After hearing Chu Hua's answer, Bai Qiu glanced at her surroundings and her relaxed brows furrowed slightly.
Fragments of memory in the mind then awakened and pieced together.
Make him recall what happened last night.
Last night's celebration banquet went fairly well. After sleeping for a while in his arms—or rather, in the car—Xiao Mu perked up and seemed less sullen.
Xiangzi and Miaomeng would occasionally argue, and Chuhua would try to mediate.
The food at the restaurant was also delicious, and Hailing said it suited her taste perfectly.
The celebration banquet ended around 10 p.m., and everyone went home in vehicles arranged by the agency according to their home addresses.
Finally, Bai Qiu and Chu Hua were in the same car, and the driver drove to Chu Hua's building first.
Then Chu Hua invited him to go upstairs and sit for a while.
Thinking that since they were already there, they might as well say hello to Ms. Donut, he and Chu Hua went upstairs together.
Chu Hua's house is neither too big nor too small. What's interesting is that the second floor is a small attic, and Chu Hua specially had a glass skylight designed on the roof.
Lying on the attic floor at night, my view was perfectly positioned to admire the moonlight through the skylight and observe the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The weather was nice last night, and at Chu Hua's suggestion and driven by curiosity, Bai Qiu lay down to experience it.
He had no intention of staying overnight at Chu Hua's house.
But perhaps because he had been traveling all day and had eaten and drunk his fill at the celebration banquet, including some alcoholic beverages, he was not drunk.
Finally, after lying down comfortably, I chatted with Chuhua and accidentally fell asleep.
Bai Qiuquan remembered.
Yes, that's how it is.
He is currently lying in the attic on the second floor of Chu Hua's house.
They turned over and looked up at the skylight above them, which was wide open, proving that the two of them had indeed fallen asleep while looking at the stars last night.
Bright outdoor light streamed in through the small window, and a refreshing breeze brought a comfortable coolness.
Bai Qiu took a deep breath, and his spirits lifted.
Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
For a fleeting moment, he almost thought that he and Chu Hua had done something to betray Aine.
However, this is obviously impossible.
Both he and Chu Hua are clear-headed and rational enough that they wouldn't do anything to betray Aine.
"Yeah, I remember now."
Bai Qiu nodded and smiled, but silently took a step back to maintain a reasonable distance from Chu Hua. "Chu Hua, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"fine."
Chu Hua shook her head slightly, a smile appearing on her face.
But Bai Qiu's retreating movement did not escape her eyes. Feeling the aura that had been so close just moments before receding, Chu Hua's eyes dimmed.
If this continues, Qiu will be taken away by them...
"Qiu, are you hungry?"
Chu Hua suddenly raised her head, sat up, and said, "I'll go downstairs and prepare breakfast first."
After having breakfast with Hatsuka and Mana, Hakushu returned home.
The first thing I did after getting home was to take a shower, since I hadn't showered last night because I stayed overnight at Chuhua's house.
……
Not long after Bai Qiu came out of the bathroom, Nagasaki Motoyo came to visit.
"Bai Qiu, last night you..."
Su Shi was about to speak when she suddenly stopped. Her misty blue eyes were fixed on Bai Qiu, and her eye sockets were slightly furrowed, as if there was something she was reluctant to say.
The meaning of "素世" is self-evident.
Why didn't you come back to sleep?
But since Su Shi didn't explain clearly, Bai Qiu thought Su Shi was asking about Xiangzi. He didn't know what time Su Shi stayed at his house last night.
"Su Shi, actually Xiangzi formed a new band, and I went to see their performance yesterday," Bai Qiu explained.
"Huh? A new band?"
Nagasaki Motoyo's expression changed instantly, and her attention was temporarily diverted from the fact that Bai Qiu had not returned.
Why does Xiao Xiang want to form a new band?
"You mean Xiao Xiang formed a new band?"
"Yes." Bai Qiu nodded. "Mu He Hai Ling, and Chu Hua, whom you met last time, are also members."
There's no need for Su Shi to personally ask Xiangzi anymore; this time, Bai Qiu simply eliminated everyone.
"Xiao Mu?"
Nagasaki Motoyo was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hand.
"The new band is called Mujica. Last night was Mujica's debut performance. You should be able to see related reports if you search on your phone now."
Upon hearing Bai Qiu's explanation, Su Shi also curiously took out her phone and started searching for mujica.
Seeing the overwhelming publicity surrounding Mujica, Nagasaki Motoyo gradually came to understand everything.
Is Xiao Xiang trying to make money through this commercial band?
Bai Qiu waited for a while, then looked at Su Shi, who looked bewildered, and continued, "However, Xiangzi said he would have to trouble you to keep this a secret."
"I'm sorry, Su Shi, I kept it from you before."
Although amazed by Xiangzi's formation of a new band, Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head in response to Bai Qiu's apology.
"No, it's not your fault, Bai Qiu."
It's all Xiao Xiang's fault.
Bai Qiu didn't come back to have dinner with her or sleep with her.
Seeing that Su Shi seemed to have already processed the news, Bai Qiu tentatively asked:
"Su Shi, do you have any other ideas about Xiangzi forming a new band?"
Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, then understood what Bai Qiu meant.
She lowered her hands from her phone, gently shook her head, and then a faint, nostalgic smile appeared on her gentle face.
“Crychic brought me wonderful memories when I was feeling lost and helpless.”
"I probably... will never forget Crychic for the rest of my life, but it's all in the past now."
“Now that I have a new band, I realize that the band is only a part of my life, and I have other more important things in my heart.”
At this point, Su Shi looked up at Bai Qiu somewhat embarrassedly before continuing:
"I hope Xiaoxiang will succeed."
"Su Shi, you're right to think that way. It seems you've grown up too."
Bai Qiu smiled with relief. He had also considered whether Su Shi would become estranged from Xiangzi because of her forming a new band.
After all, among the five, Su Shi was the most obsessed with Crychic.
It seems I was overthinking it.
"Ok!"
Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded, but a new worry quickly rose in her heart, so she quickly looked at Bai Qiu and grabbed Bai Qiu's wrist to ask:
"Bai Qiu, you're not going to join Xiangzi's band again, are you?"
“No, not at all,” Bai Qiu said. “Commercial bands have contracts, so I certainly can’t just join any band.”
Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression softening.
That's good, it's fine if you don't join.
Bai Qiu is still mygo's.
If Bai Qiu joins Mujica, wouldn't the time allocated to Mygo decrease?
However, at this moment, when Su Shi's gaze moved on Bai Qiu, what she noticed made her eyes widen in surprise.
Su Shi's eyes widened, unable to look away for a long time.
Why...?
Bai Qiu would have such marks on her neck.
Did you accidentally rub it while showering? Or did you get bitten by a mosquito?
But even though she told herself that, and despite having no experience in dating, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but have another thought in her mind based on some movie and TV drama scenes she had seen.
That is a kiss.
It takes a lot of force to create such a mark.
Although the two pale red marks have become extremely faint over time, they remain incredibly clear and indelible in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.
Nagasaki Motoyo pursed her lips, her feelings a complex mix of emotions she couldn't shake off.
Her hand twitched, wanting to reach out and touch Bai Qiu's neck to examine it more closely, but she didn't have a suitable reason.
I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of hearing an answer she couldn't accept.
Just as Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze focused on the two red marks on Bai Qiu's neck.
Bai Qiu's phone rang.
"Xiangzi?"
"..."
Shoko Toyokawa on the other end of the phone didn't seem to answer immediately; there were only intermittent noises and sounds that sounded like sobs.
Thinking it was a bad signal, Bai Qiu repeated with some doubt:
"Hey, Xiangzi, can you hear me?"
"...Bai Qiu, I want to see you."
Shoko Toyokawa's murmured voice, thick with sobs, came through the speaker.
