Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

Page 78

It's a fact that she couldn't complete the task.

If the problem is left unresolved, it will only get worse.

Chen has already been very considerate of her feelings.

Chen made this decision because he cared about her health and didn't want her to suffer so much.

The way she's treating Chen so roughly now makes her a complete ingrate.

Two diametrically opposed ideas tear apart Shiina Tatsuki's personality.

"Lixi, the sheet music I gave you has nothing to do with Xiangzi; I stole it from you."

Can't you come up with a better excuse for lying? She's not a three-year-old.

Li Xi stared intently at Chen's expression, but saw no hint of joking on his face.

"I've thought about this for a long time, whether or not to tell you this information, Lixi. It's very important to me, and I only tell this to people I completely trust."

"Now, I'm going to tell you all of this."

Time travelers? Aren't those things that only appear in light novels?

Miss Lixi initially scoffed at Chen's statement.

But when Chen presented her with all the evidence, she didn't know how to face it.

Her image, Shiina Tatsuki, appeared clearly on the phone screen Chen showed her.

The people on the stage were Deng, Lena, Pink Hair, Su Shi, and her.

The piece being played was "Accompanied by the Azure Sky".

"My phone can still connect to the internet in my original world, so I can easily find the complete sheet music."

"And these are all things you will inevitably write about later. Originally, there was no place for me in your band; only Aine and Renai existed."

ha?

Miss Lixi didn't think that pink-haired girl was a good thing in the band.

If she had to choose between the two, she would definitely choose Chenliu.

"Because of my interference, the band's situation became worse than I had imagined, and I constantly questioned whether my existence was even justified."

"But I can't extricate myself now. I came here alone and, taking advantage of my familiarity with your personalities, greedily established contact with you."

"I've already had a profound impact on you, and I must take responsibility for it."

"A girl like you, Lixi, who is serious and responsible and considerate of her teammates behind the scenes, is my favorite type."

"But precisely because I know you so well, I don't know how to get you to accept my help."

"I'm selfish and cowardly. I don't want people I can't completely trust to know my most fundamental secret."

"Until you fell, I began to question myself: was it fair to Lixi to stand idly by for the sake of this so-called secret?"

"It's unfair, absolutely unfair! I can't bear to see Lixi continue to torture her body because of my inaction."

"This is your work, I stole it from you, so accept it. Don't hurt yourself anymore, Lixi."

"I don't want anyone to know this secret, but I don't want you, Lixi, to continue ruining your body."

"If a so-called secret will hurt Lixi, then let it not be a secret in front of Lixi."

Chapter 70 Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership

The evidence presented by Chen was so compelling that Miss Lixi was already 80% convinced.

She didn't know how to describe her current feelings.

Who exactly is the person Chen is talking about whom he completely trusts?

Miss Lixi knew she was definitely not the first to learn this secret.

"Besides me, who else knows this secret?"

Miss Lixi hadn't fully recovered to begin with; she was already at her last gasp.

The movements just now had exhausted her last bit of strength. She leaned against Chen's chest.

Xiangzi knew.

Xiangzi?! Why Xiangzi?!

Chen should know how terrible Xiangzi had been to them! Why didn't they know such an important secret, but instead it was this traitor Xiangzi who knew it!

"When exactly did you get involved with Xiangzi? Did you already have contact with Xiangzi before you met us?"

"And you called her name so naturally, what exactly happened between you two?"

Miss Lixi felt somewhat embarrassed by her position slumped against Chen, but she lacked the strength to move away from him.

Her final act of defiance was raising her head and meeting Chen's gaze with her weakened purple eyes.

"To be honest, I met Xiangzi before I knew you guys. That day, Aine and I went to invite Deng, and we spotted Xiangzi when we passed by the brass band's activity room."

"But we only briefly met at that time; I wouldn't say we knew each other."

"We hadn't known each other for very long; the Friday before last, I found Xiangzi collapsed on the roadside."

"what?!"

Although Lixi had a lot of opinions about the blue-haired girl, she couldn't help but worry when she heard what had happened to her.

Chen had told Miss Lixi all his most difficult secrets, so he no longer avoided talking about his experiences with Xiangzi in front of her.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the Crychic members are together today, it would be a good choice to clear up the misunderstandings that still exist between Xiangzi, Lixi, and Deng.

Was Xiangzi really that miserable? He fainted from hunger on the roadside and was found by Chen.

Was Chen's hand injured by her? And a day later, she even got into a fight with her father and rescued her.

Why use the word "rescue"?

Okay, indeed, we should use the word "save." Can that man still be called a "father"?

After hearing about Chen Hexiangzi's experience, Lixi gained a much better understanding of Xiangzi's situation.

But that doesn't mean her previous actions were right.

Furthermore, Chen directly brought Xiangzi to stay at his home? Isn't that a bit too much?

Next, we will discuss matters related to Su Shi's absence.

Is Nagasaki Motoyo really that terrifying?

Miss Lixi decided that she should be wary of this woman with extraordinary wisdom.

What kind of obsession could make her follow Xiangzi for a whole day?

They even found Xiangzi's place.

Xiangzi was furious at her stalking and spoke harshly to her. Was she upset and that's why she didn't come to the band?

Wasn't this her fault in the first place? Anyone would be angry if they were caught stalking someone, right?

If a man did this, you could call the police immediately.

Nagasaki Motoyo really doesn't know what she's talking about.

"Then why did she agree to go back to the band this week?"

Last Sunday, Xiangzi found Su Shi through Mu. He apologized to her and explained why he left the band, so Su Shi came back.

"what?"

"Mu later found me through Xiangzi, so I got to know Mu."

Could Shoko Toyokawa really do something like this? If she had explained things properly when she left the band, would this have happened?

Mu wasn't really involved in these things; he only met Chen by chance.

Everything was beyond Miss Lixi's imagination.

Miss Lixi could sense how heavy this secret was.

Xiangzi was rescued by Chen in this way, and she was indeed the least likely person to betray Chen.

It's only natural that she learned all this before Miss Lixi.

Chen told her all this to help her.

Does she really deserve Chen's trust?

Miss Lixi wasn't very confident; her bond with Chen wasn't nearly as strong as that between Xiangzi and Chen.

What do you mean by unfairness and what do you mean by exploitation?

Chen didn't use his familiarity with them for anything; instead, he kept considering their obsessions and personalities when acting.

Especially her; if Shiina Tatsuki hadn't been so awkward, Chen wouldn't have had to reveal such an important secret to her.

Chen overcame tremendous psychological barriers and told her everything.

It was just so she could get some rest and not ruin her health anymore.

To make her accept it, he even said that Chen had stolen the score from her.

The word "pity" is completely inappropriate to describe Chen's actions. He genuinely cared for Miss Lixi as a friend and honestly told her everything.

Miss Lixi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she dared not meet Chen's gaze any longer.

"Hey, how much longer are you going to hold me? Put me on the bed!"

"oh oh!"

With Chen's help, Miss Lixi returned to Su Shi's bed.

After Chen placed the pillow behind Miss Lixi's back, he began to recall the feeling from just now.

It must be said that Miss Lixi's physique is indeed powerful.

Li Xi secretly glanced at Chen out of the corner of her eye.

Ms. Lixi has always been very serious about her friends.

Since Chen had placed such trust in her, Shiina Tatsuki had to prove to Chen that she was worthy of his trust.

She's no worse than Toyokawa Shoko!

Miss Lixi's feelings for him grew intensely after Chen and she became completely honest with each other.

It's all his fault for saying those nonsensical things!

Being conscientious, responsible, and considerate of others... that's his favorite type...

She's clearly arrogant and awkward...and has a bad temper...

Since Chen is a time traveler, his understanding of her should be quite comprehensive.

Chen must know both her strengths and weaknesses.

Chen knew everything about Miss Lixi, therefore, it was understandable that he said he "liked girls like Lixi the most."

It has an unparalleled destructive power against Miss Lixi.

The lyrics of "The Lamp" resonated with Miss Lixi's inner feelings, which is why she loved lamps so much.

And now, her personality, everything about her, has been completely affirmed.
