Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

The slightly awkward atmosphere made Bai Qianqu feel uneasy, and she felt that it would be too difficult to endure without finding something to talk about.

Perhaps Bronya thought the same thing, because she spoke first.

"Chiku, do you have a girl you like?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this sensitive question, Bai Qianqu subconsciously glanced at Bronya, only to find that Bronya had turned her head to look at her. After their eyes met, they both turned their heads away.

Why did you suddenly ask that? You startled me.

"You said that on the show last time."

"You still remember."

“Of course I remember!” Bronya’s face broke into a mischievous grin. “So, who do you actually like?”

Seemingly sensing Bai Qianqu's burning gaze, Bronya's face flushed, her heart pounded, and she regretted asking the question.

Could it be——

Damn it, if he says that, does that count as a confession? What should I do then?

Should I refuse? Or should I agree?

I haven't thought it through at all!

"It's a secret!" Bai Qianqu smiled smugly when he saw Bronya raise her head angrily.

"Well, you dare to tease Bronya!"

Bronya, fuming, gritted her teeth and grabbed Bai Qianqu's waist.

“┗|｀O′|┛ Aww~~”

Bai Qianqu, who had been laughing, suddenly let out a miserable howl and raised her hands in surrender.

"Stop! Stop pinching me! I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"

"Hmph!" Bronya turned her head away, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Bai Qianqu didn't say it, otherwise she would have really been in an embarrassing situation.

fall in love?

Bronya had never thought about this matter in detail.

Before meeting Bai Qianqu, she had very little interaction with other boys. She attended an all-girls school, which was mostly populated by girls. After starting work, aside from occasionally interacting with male colleagues about work-related matters, her private life consisted mainly of hanging out with Hield, Kiana, and Mei.

It wasn't that no boys had ever pursued her before, but she resolutely rejected them all.

In her view, men only hinder her work and playing games.

But what puzzled her was that she had never felt that sense of rejection since she met Bai Qianqu.

The two interacted harmoniously, and he felt very comfortable being with Bai Qianqu.

He wouldn't deliberately try to curry favor with me, nor would he ask me to do anything.

He simply shone and radiated warmth quietly beside her, just like Seele.

Huh? Why did I equate Chiku with Seele?

So, will he or won't he—

As she thought about it, Bronya suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation.

Bai Qianqu was also feeling very conflicted and anxious.

Why is Bronya asking herself this question?

Could it be that he's realized I like her?

Should I tell him or not? Or should I just take the opportunity to say it?

But what if I get rejected? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

The key issue is that I wasn't prepared to confess at this time, and I wonder if confessing suddenly now would scare Bronya.

He remembered that it was written in the book:

A confession should be a victory clarion call, not a battle cry to launch an attack.

It seems like I'm still some distance from victory?

With such complicated and conflicted feelings, the two fell silent again and slowly walked forward along the road.

Chapter 147 "Healing Songs"

Lost in their thoughts, the two unknowingly passed by a bridge.

The moonlight shone on the lake, making it sparkle and look exceptionally beautiful.

Unbeknownst to them, both of them were drawn to this scene and stopped to watch quietly.

During the day, the bridge is bustling with people, but now only Bai Qianqu and Bronya are on it.

The faint dampness of the lake water, mixed with the scent of earth, smelled surprisingly refreshing.

An unidentified fish leaped out of the water, creating a trail of water droplets, before silently disappearing back into the water, leaving only a shallow ripple.

The bright moonlight shone on the bridge, casting a pure white glow on its surface. The shadows of Bai Qianqu and Bronya intertwined on the bridge, illuminated by the moonlight and streetlights.

The two, who had been struggling with complicated emotions, suddenly calmed down and gazed at the lake, momentarily lost in thought.

After a long while, Bai Qianqu called out softly.

"Bronya——"

Bronya turned her head with a hint of hope.

That's enough for now. Be careful on your way back.

"Oh, I see."

"Bronya?"

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call your name."

Watching Bronya disappear around the street corner, Bai Qianqu looked up at the sky and then almost punched herself in anger.

It's infuriating that they didn't seize such a great opportunity.

He had a feeling that if he had acted directly just now, it might have worked.

But at the last moment, he chickened out.

Ugh! I'm so angry!

He himself looked down on himself.

Forget it, I'll just go back, wash up, and go to bed.

As soon as I entered the house, the phone rang. When I picked it up, it was Hill.

"Hill? What's wrong?"

"Hey! Teacher Bai! How's it going on your end? Has anything happened?"

Bai Qianqu's face darkened!

"Nothing happened!"

"What? Such a great opportunity?" Hill's tone was filled with disbelief. "Really? You didn't even get an A? Huh~~~~"

Hill was speechless. His assists were so perfect, how could Coach Bai be so disappointing?

Bai Qianqu was speechless.

The two were silent for a moment on the phone, and finally Hill sighed.

"Teacher Bai, being alone is actually quite nice. Keep it up and keep trying!"

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Bai Qianqu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Is this what they mean by being destined to be single forever?

Even Hill felt hopeless?

Sigh, never mind, I'll take a shower first.

After taking a shower, Bai Qianqu seemed to have emerged from the gloom, and he lay on the bed humming a little tune.

"It's true that living alone is quite nice."

"For example, right now, I can draw a prize whenever I want."

That's right, Bai Qianqu decided to use the lottery to numb herself.

Only a lottery can soothe my empty heart.

[Ten consecutive draws begin!]

Congratulations! You've won the prize, "Single Love Song"!

Bai Qianqu:? ? ?

屮!

So even the system is mocking me?

This can't stop! (╬￣皿￣)

Perhaps to comfort Bai Qianqu, the system's voice sounded again.

Congratulations on receiving the healing song "Underwater"!

Bai Qianqu was speechless. You call this a healing song?

Do you want me to sink to the bottom of the sea?

However, Bai Qianqu quickly composed herself and looked at the good item she had just drawn.

"Single Love Song" and "Underwater" are both excellent songs, setting aside the system's pranks.

"Single Love Song," released in 1999, has remained popular for a long time. With the rise of Singles' Day, it has become known as one of the most suitable songs to sing on Singles' Day, making it a song exclusively for singles.
