"Could you wait a moment? I want to give you something."
"what?"
The somewhat chaotic footsteps behind her made Miss Lixi sigh helplessly.
About two minutes later, she mysteriously put something into the bag containing Lixi's clothes.
"Hey, Lixi, had fun tonight!"
"I got this from a free self-service machine because I was curious about it."
"I didn't expect you to use it before me..."
"Huh? What exactly did you give me?"
Lixi was puzzled by her sister's furtive behavior and inexplicable sighs.
When she opened the bag and took out the items her sister had just put in...
An overwhelming sense of shame and anger welled up in her heart.
She grabbed her sister, who was trying to escape, fiercely, and for the first time, as a drummer, she unleashed the full power of her hand outside of drumming.
Maki's screams of pain echoed throughout the living room.
But Kelixi showed not a shred of pity.
"Why did you give me this?!"
"You even took your clothes with you when you went out...aren't you planning to spend the night outside?"
"Your older sister is doing this for your own good. You're still too young; it's not right to cause someone's death."
"It's bad for your health, and it's also bad for your relationship with that boy... Neither of you is capable of raising a child, and if you don't take precautions..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, Lixi, it's going to split open, it's going to split open!"
"Your sister is only thinking of you! You have to understand her good intentions! Oh!"
All of Miss Lixi's shame and anger were channeled into her final blow to her sister.
Twisting his sister's ear, Li Xi, his face dark, expressed his anger to her, enunciating each word clearly.
"Who wants you to worry about these things!"
"And I'll be back tonight!"
After taking the clothes out of the bag, Lixi turned the bag upside down and, relying on gravity, emptied out all the nonsensical things her sister had put in.
With the door slammed shut, the morning's farce at the Shiina family's house came to an end.
"Hmm? That's quite rare."
"No, it's more accurate to say I've never seen you before, right? You're wearing makeup."
During lunch break, the short-haired cool girl found Lixi at school as usual and carefully observed her makeup, which was different from her usual look.
Is there any special event today?
Hailing placed a bottle of beverage with a panda design in Lixi's hand and asked in a flat, emotionless voice...
"This... I have no comment..."
She sat down next to Lixi and inserted the straw into her drink.
How was that previous band?
"Well, things have settled down a bit... the only problem is the live performance. Some of them are complete beginners."
Chen, who was reassigned to replace Ai Yin midway through the season, struggles with her fingers every day.
With a lot of practice, the progress is obvious.
However, if he wants to meet the requirements for performing on stage within the remaining two weeks, his progress is probably not fast enough.
"Perhaps, setting the goal of holding a live concert so hastily was a mistake?"
A bewildered sigh followed immediately after that sentence.
Hailing carefully observed her friend, who was noticeably different from usual.
As she sipped, the mandarin orange-flavored drink soothed her taste buds as always.
"Oh? Should we prepare to find backup in advance? That way, we can ensure the live performance goes smoothly."
Hailing
Li Xi's tone suddenly turned cold.
What followed was her cold, earnest gaze fixed on the girl beside her.
That member is indispensable, no matter what.
Don't say things like "find someone to replace him".
"Yeah"
After gulping down the remaining drink in the package, the girl named Hachiman Kairin squeezed it into a ball with her hand.
Aiming at the distant trash can, the crushed drink wrapper traced a graceful arc through the air, scoring a point smoothly.
"In that case, if he really can't practice until the scheduled performance time, are you prepared to give up the performance?"
After completing the throw, Hai Ling turned around.
She looked down, casting a questioning glance at Lixi's choice.
"I...."
Emerald green, jade-like eyes met the amethyst-like pupils of the girl below.
"If he's really as important as you say, I think it's best to prepare yourself mentally for making a second choice sooner rather than later."
"Otherwise, unexpected situations might occur."
After inserting the straw into the packaging, Lixi got up and walked towards the trash can in the distance.
Just as they arrived, the packaging deflated at that opportune moment.
After discarding what had lost its meaning, she never returned to Hailing's side.
Her figure disappeared straight into the entrance of the teaching building.
segmentation
After school, Lixi quickened his pace.
No matter how fast you walk, you still need to avoid sweating, as this may occur.
When the Ring's gate came into view, the boy was already waiting at the door.
As the two drew closer, the boy's gaze naturally lingered on Lixi's face, which appeared slightly different from before.
"Lixi, what happened to you today...?"
"....Wait me a moment"
She had endured scrutinizing gazes all day.
Finally, it was the turn of the main character to give his evaluation.
If Chen said it wasn't good, she would go back and give her sister a good scolding.
She was still angry about what she did this morning.
However, now is not the most appropriate time.
She hadn't had time to change into the casual clothes she had prepared.
She lowered her head, concealing her anxiety and the blush on her face.
As she focused on climbing the stairs, she heard those words behind her.
You look beautiful today! Of course, you always have.
It must be said that Ms. Maki's craftsmanship is quite excellent.
She truly did it, leaving Chen amazed by Li Xi today.
The black-haired girl, who had her back to Chen, suddenly stopped in her tracks as she climbed the stairs. Her hasty steps nearly caused her to lose her balance.
"Hey, Lixi! Are you alright?!"
Seemingly ignoring the boy's calls behind her, she ran even faster into the interior of the Ring.
In the locker room, she covered her chest with her hand.
Was her heart pounding so intensely and vibrantly because of the near fall she had just experienced, or because of the boy waiting for her to say, "You look great today"?
She took the prepared clothes out of the bag, her face, as red as the sunset, revealing the turmoil in her heart.
She wore a black base layer under her white coat, and her earrings, which she hadn't worn in a long time, were back on.
The lower half of her outfit consisted of a short skirt paired with a brown belt.
When the girl, having changed her clothes, reappeared before Chen...
Compared to the fleeting glimpse before, this time Chen had ample time to thoroughly examine Miss Lixi from head to toe.
"What, what's wrong!"
Finally, unable to withstand Chen's unwavering gaze any longer, Miss Lixi protested to him.
"No, it's nothing! I just think this outfit suits Lixi so well today."
Girls, of course, need to dress up carefully when going out.
Moreover, today's destination, the zoo, was originally intended to be Miss Lixi's home turf.
Naturally, the most important thing is for Miss Lixi to be happy.
"Yes, is that so...."
That's good
Li Xi kept those three words firmly in his heart.
The inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere didn't end until the train arrived at the station, the platform lights came on, and Sue and Mutsu appeared.
"You mean, you didn't tell me you invited them too, just to surprise me?!"
The immense contrast caused an unprecedented fluctuation in Miss Lixi's tone.
"You are the Triangle Chu Hua, then who am I?"
Mutual promotion, me being a nobody, probably won't bring him any traffic.
Thank you to Key of Truth for the monthly pass.
Calvin is fixed, meow! My main storyline is clear again.
Chapter 89 A Panda Trip for Just Two
Lixi, Su Shi, Deng, Mu
Miss Lixi couldn't quite remember what happened before she entered the park.
The moment Nagasaki Motoyo and the others came into her sight, all she could do was mechanically start walking and follow them.
Nagasaki Motoyo offered a perfunctory greeting, but she didn't have the energy to respond.
When the lamp called her name, she only responded with a slight nod.
She remained silent, her figure hanging alone at the back of the group.
Her gaze lingered unconsciously on the boy's back in front of her.
"I thought there would be fewer people on weekdays... but there are still a lot of people..."
Along the path leading to the panda enclosure, signs have been placed indicating that "long wait is expected."
For Chen, there was a strange sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or reflection).
Before he time-traveled, he once queued from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. just to get into the anime convention venue.
The scene of such a massive crowd remains vivid in his memory.
The long queue to see the pandas is still not nearly as long as at Donghuang.
