Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

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?

Ding Dong!

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.

On the table.

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?"

"Yes."

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.

But now, for Su Shi's sake, Bai Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat more!

At the dinner table, Bai Qiu placed the hat that Chu Hua had given him aside to avoid getting it dirty.

About seven or eight minutes later, Nagasaki Motoyo heated up the food and placed it in front of Shiraaki.

"Thank you for your help, Su Shi."

"it does not matter."

Nagasaki Motoyo sat down in the seat opposite her and shook her head. She thought Bai Qiu was really hungry.

Having composed herself, she said gently to Bai Qiu, "Eat up."

It's so late, and Bai Qiu still came to find her. Besides, his attitude just now was one of concern!

This proves that Bai Qiu was not deliberately avoiding her.

Nagasaki Suyo breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at that familiar and reassuring face, her dejected mood improved a little.

Although the confession failed, at least we're still in the same band, can still eat together, and can still spend time with Bai Qiu up close.

“By the way, Su Shi.” Bai Qiu suddenly looked up at Nagasaki Su Shi.

"Eh?"

Bai Qiu thought for a moment and said softly, "Could you please continue to prepare dinner for me in the future?"

"Huh?" Nagasaki Motoyo blinked, not quite understanding.

Bai Qiu understood the other person's confusion, so he explained, "Wasn't preparing dinner before as an exchange for me teaching you how to use the keyboard? Now I'm not teaching you how to use the keyboard."

So I'm worried that it might not be right to keep bothering you.

Nagasaki Motoyo was startled, but Bai Qiu's words warmed her heart for no apparent reason.

“Of course.” Su Shi looked at Bai Qiu with sincere eyes and said, “We’re going to be in a band for life, aren’t we?”

Seeing Su Shi's improved mood, Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. "Of course."

Was his shot okay?
