The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Chapter 496: Countdown to the school trip, Dai Wei begins final preparations

Dai Wei turned around angrily, sat down on the sofa, started counting on his fingers, and muttered to himself.

At this time, Xia Qiu's eyes wandered around the box again, and finally fell on Xue No.

Xueno noticed Xia Qiu's gaze and her heart suddenly sank.

She was both looking forward to and afraid of meeting Xia Qiu's eyes. Why was he looking at me? Was he going to invite me?

He is coming over here!

Xia Qiu walked towards Xueno with a smile, "Xueno, can you sing a song with me? Just think of it as giving Dai Wei some inspiration, maybe it can inspire her to write a better song."

This was a good excuse he had come up with so as not to make Eriri and the others jealous.

Yukino bit her lower lip, feeling flustered, and subconsciously glanced at Yangno beside her.

Yang No blinked and silently mouthed "promise him".

Yukino took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently, "Yeah... OK."

It's just singing, no big deal, but why am I so nervous?

Before she could think about it, Xia Qiu had already taken her to the stage.

Seeing this, Ying Lili snorted coldly and turned her face away, "Tsk, this guy can get along with anyone."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was as calm as ever, but her wine-red eyes looked at Haruno with inquiry.

She always felt that this was premeditated by the other party.

Sister Qiong has been keeping a close eye on Xia Qiu's every move.

"Onii-chan is going to sing with others again..."

She muttered quietly, feeling a little disappointed and a little jealous of Yukino.

Forget it, as long as Onii-chan is happy.

Anyway, no one can shake my sister's position!

Even that little guy who previously insisted on marrying Onii-chan when he grew up!

Eromanga-sensei beside him looked at the sparkling Xia Qiu, and somehow his little heart started beating fast.

At this time, the music on the stage slowly sounded, it was a lyrical song with beautiful melody.

Yukino's hand holding the microphone trembled slightly. She secretly glanced at Xia Qiu, took a deep breath, and began to sing the first note.

Her voice was clear and gentle, echoing softly in the box.

Xia Qiu followed closely, and although it was their first time, they cooperated very well.

Everyone in the audience fell silent and listened to the two people singing quietly.

When they sang to the climax, the two of them unconsciously moved closer to each other. Yukino could clearly hear her own heartbeat like a drum, and she could even feel her breathing becoming rapid.

Isn't this too close...

A trace of panic flashed through Yukino's mind, but her singing did not stop at all.

Below the stage, Dai Wei's eyes widened and his hands clenched into fists. Xia Xia and Xue Noi sang so beautifully, I must write even better songs.

Yang Noi leaned back on the sofa, smiled and whispered softly, "Xue Noi, come on."

As the music gradually faded, warm applause and cheers rang out in the box again.

Xueno's cheeks flushed slightly. She gently put down the microphone, looked at Xia Qiu with a somewhat evasive look, and said softly: "Thank you... It feels good to sing with you."

Xia Qiu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Yukinoshita's singing is very nice."

Yukino lowered her head slightly, a smile unconsciously rising up at the corner of her mouth, but she was still a little flustered in her heart.

She uttered a soft "hmm" and quickly walked back to the sofa, as if if she stayed for another second, everyone would hear her heartbeat.

Yang No saw Yukino coming back, her eyes full of teasing smiles, and she leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Xukino, you're blushing."

Xueno immediately turned her head away and said calmly, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little hot."

Yang No chuckled, obviously not convinced by Yukino's explanation.

She blinked and deliberately prolonged her tone: "Oh~ It's just a little hot? Do you want me to fan you?"

Xueno's face turned even redder. She glared at Yangno and whispered, "Sister, I think you should go give it to Xia Qiu..."

Before Yukino could finish her words, Yangno covered her chest exaggeratedly, pretending to be hurt and said, "Xueno, how could you do this to your sister? I'm just caring about you."

"Besides, are you really willing to let me go to your classmate Xia Qiu, that one?"

As he said this, he winked at Yukino playfully.

Yukino was a little frustrated by Yangno's exaggerated reaction and conversation. She sighed softly and whispered, "Sister, stop making trouble... Everyone is watching us."

Yang No didn't take it seriously, instead she smiled even brighter: "Oh, is Xiao Xue No shy? That's so cute~"

Yukino's cheeks turned even redder, she turned her head away, ignoring Haruno's teasing, and tried to calm herself down.

However, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Xia Qiu's direction, and she found that he was happily chatting with Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, and she felt inexplicably complicated in her heart.

At this time, Kato looked at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. Then he looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late. Everyone has plans tomorrow. Why don't we prepare to go back?"

When everyone heard Kato's words, they were stunned at first.

Guo Huang was filled with reluctance, his eyes widened instantly, and he held Xia Qiu's arm tightly with both hands.

"It's so hard to have such a happy gathering. I want to stay with my seniors for a while longer and sing a few more of my favorite songs."

Xia Qiu smiled helplessly and patted Guo Huang's hand gently, "Let's find time to sing properly next time. It's really late today. If you don't go back and rest, you won't have the energy tomorrow."

At this moment, Dai Wei immediately jumped up from his seat and shouted, "No, no, we have to sing one more song to put a perfect end to today. Let's have a chorus!"

Isshi Iroha's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "How about we sing the theme song of Anohana? That song is so touching, and it will definitely feel great if we all sing together."

At this moment, the scene of everyone singing affectionately emerged in her mind, and she felt that it must be very beautiful.

But the law team immediately shook her head in opposition. She crossed her arms and had a look of unruliness on her face. "It's so late, it's boring to sing sad songs. We should sing something cheerful."

“How about ‘Blue Bird’? I feel full of energy when I hear that melody.”

Everyone was talking at once, each holding their own opinions, and the discussion was heated.

Finally, it was Kato who came out to smooth things over. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Why don't we sing "Dear My Friend ~まだ見ぬ未来へ~"? The atmosphere of this song is warm and hopeful, which is very suitable for our party tonight."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The music slowly started playing and everyone picked up the microphone.

As the melody of "Dear My Friend ~May we see the future~" slowly sounded in the box.

Xia Qiu stood in the middle, with Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha on his left and right respectively, while Yukino stood diagonally opposite Xia Qiu, holding the microphone in her hand with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

Eromanga-sensei stood aside, holding the microphone tightly in his hand, his heartbeat quickening and his cheeks slightly red.

This was her first time experiencing this, and she felt shy and nervous.

"いつも一丝に歩いてきたね"

"君と出会えたことがServantの boastりだよ"

While singing, Xueno looked at Xia Qiu unconsciously and found that he was also looking at her with a smile.

Her delicate face turned even redder. Although she didn't say a word, she enjoyed the feeling of tacit understanding.

"これからもずっと、この手を里さないで"

Mio stood aside, looking at Xia Qiu with gentle and focused eyes, wishing that this moment could stay forever.

Minami Kotori and Denzo Umi stood on the other side, holding hands, their voices sweet and energetic.

As the song entered its climax, everyone's voices gradually blended together.

"Dear my friend, まだ见ぬ前へ"

(Dear friends, towards the unknown future)

"このまま手を行いで行こう"

(Let’s hold hands and move forward together)

Everyone looked at each other with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop here tonight. You've worked hard, go back and have a good rest."

Everyone nodded and started packing up to leave.

Yukino, Haruno and Tuanzi said hello and goodbye to everyone first, walked out of the KTV, and stood on the roadside waiting for the bus.

Yang No looked at Yukino and said with a smile, "Xue No, how do you feel tonight?"

When Yukino was asked this by Yangno, her cheeks flushed again. She turned her head away, avoiding Yangno's mischievous gaze, and said calmly, "It's just... just an ordinary chorus, nothing special."

Having said that, Xia Qiu's smile and his approach kept replaying in her mind.

Yang Nai approached Xue Nai and said with a smile: "Hey, Xue Nai, don't be so stubborn, I saw it all. When you were singing, your eyes were almost glued to Xia Qiujun."

Xue Nai was embarrassed and anxious, "Sister, keep talking nonsense!"

Yang Noi was not willing to give in, and laughed even more happily, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, but Xiao Xue Noi, if you really drag your feet, then I will do it."

When Yukino heard what Yangno said, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She turned her head suddenly, her eyes wide open, staring at Yang Nai, her face full of disbelief, and asked anxiously: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Nai raised a sly smile and deliberately dragged out her tone: "Hey, Xiao Xue Nai, what do you think? Xia Qiujun is so outstanding. If I take action, he might be abducted by me."

Xueno's heart tightened, and she subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, bit her lower lip, and muttered softly: "Sister, how could you..."

The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back, her eyes full of panic and confusion.

Tuanzi was watching the interaction between the two sisters, and noticed Yukino's embarrassment, so she hurried out to smooth things over.

"Hino-senpai, please stop teasing Yukino-senpai. Yukino-chan, I firmly support you."

After hearing what Tuanzi said, Yukino's face flushed slightly, and a warm current seemed to flow through her heart, and she whispered.

"Tuanzi, thank you..."

At this time, a taxi slowly drove over and Yang Nai stretched out her hand to stop the car.

After the three of them got in the car, Yukino leaned against the window, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, feeling a little happy and a little confused.

She was not sure whether her affection for Xia Qiu would be reciprocated.

On the other side, Xia Qiu, Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha and others were also waiting for a car on the roadside.

Ying Lili stood aside with her arms crossed, glaring at Xia Qiu from time to time, muttering: "Humph, you sang so happily with Yukino today, but you didn't sing with me properly. Don't do this next time."

Xia Qiu heard Ying Lili's mumbling, and he leaned over to her and whispered, "Ying Lili, next time, next time we will sing alone, and I promise to concentrate and cooperate only with you, okay?"

As he said this, he reached out and gently poked Eriri's puffy cheek.

Ying Lili turned her head away, her cheeks flushed, and she pretended to be angry and slapped Xia Qiu's hand away: "Who... who is jealous, I just think you are not sensible. Humph, then let's make a deal, if you are distracted again during the chorus next time, I will not forgive you."

As they were talking, a taxi drove up and everyone got in.

After returning to Tsumugi's villa, everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

Dai Wei returned to her room and tossed and turned on her bed in excitement. Her mind was filled with images of singing with Xia Qiu.

She jumped up, sat at the desk, opened the lyrics book, picked up a pen and began to write quickly.

"I must write an even better song and express my feelings for Xia Xia."

As she wrote, she hummed the melody in her mind quietly, frowning from time to time.

"Hmm... this should be changed a little bit... the melody should be a little lighter..."

"By the way, let's go ask Xia Xia for advice tomorrow... He must have a lot of good suggestions."

Xia Qiu’s smile appeared in Dai Wei’s mind, and he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.

She knew that her feelings for Xia Qiu were growing deeper and deeper, but she also knew that there were many outstanding girls around Xia Qiu, so she had to hurry up.

Otherwise, I will become Xiao Ba!

"Well...when I finish writing this song, I'll go find Xia Xia and confess my feelings to her!"

Thinking of this, Dai Wei's face turned slightly red.

She knew that confession was a very important thing and she had to choose the right time and method.

"But before that, I must finish writing this song!"

Dai Wei took a deep breath and devoted himself to creation again.

......

After Yukino returned to her room, she lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Yang Noi walked into the room after taking a shower, and seeing Yukino still awake, she moved closer, "Xue Noi, are you still thinking about Xia Qiu-kun?"

Xueno felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were spoken. She pulled the quilt over her face and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, go to sleep and leave me alone."

Tuanzi stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two sisters, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

She walked over to Yukino, sat down gently, and spoke softly.

"Yukino-chan, sometimes if you take a brave step, you might get unexpected rewards."

Yukino poked a pair of eyes out from the edge of the quilt, looking at Tuanzi with some entanglement and uneasiness, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Tuanzi, you... this situation, alas."

When she thought of the beautiful girls around Xia Qiu, she suddenly felt depressed.
