Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Xiaolan first combed her hair in front of the mirror before opening the curtain of the fitting room.

"Dengdeng! How's it going, Quan Yi? Yay?"

Xiaolan strikes a playful pose.

"Very—beautiful."

"……whee?"

"The color and shape are of course not to be mentioned... The material is soft and flowing... Well, I'm not familiar with the shape of the clothes, so I don't know how to describe it, but... how should I put it, that dress suits Xiaolan very well... I think it's very cute."

"I went to buy it!"

Xiaolan covered herself up while trying to close the curtain of the fitting room.

After buying clothes, Qin Xuan and Xiaolan went to the coffee shop.

As soon as we entered the store, the waitress guided us to sit down, so we sat on the chairs in the cafe and asked her to help us place our order.

The waitress made some confirmations and left temporarily. Xiaolan habitually took out her Bluetooth headphones and put them on to listen to music.

Xiaolan glanced at Quanyi and found that Quanyi was staring at her.

"Do you want to listen?" Xiaolan took off her headphones.

"No need, I'm just curious about what kind of music Xiaolan likes." Baiquan Yi said.

"Oh, Quan Yi, are you listening to music?"

"No, I don't listen to music much... I just want to know what Xiaolan likes to listen to."

"That is……"

"Do you mean you want to know everything about me?" Xiaolan smiled, her face flushed. It was great to have Baiquanyi as her boyfriend, but she was troubled by having to share her boyfriend with her mother.

Xiaolan shook her head, put aside irrelevant things, and thought about the songs she usually listened to.

"Well, pop music, rock music, Western music, idol songs, anime songs, electronic music... I listen to all of them, but the one I listen to more is... rock music, right?"

“Do you like rock and roll?”

"Well, if I say I like something, I mean I watch the band. If it's a band I like, I'll go to the concert."

"Concert..."

"The atmosphere is really heated! Recently, there was a concert by a band that made a comeback after a ten-year absence. It was really awesome... Ah, Quan Yi, do you want to go and listen?"

Xiaolan took off the headphones and handed them to Quanyi, who took them.

"Ah, I have to adjust the length."

Xiaolan was about to adjust the length of the earphones to fit Quanyi's ears... then she thought of something a couple would do.

"Let's listen together."

"Yes, of course."

Quan Yi took the earphones off his neck, handed one side to Xiaolan, and put the other side on his own ear.

"Well then... uh, I'm going to play it~"

After pressing the play button, Xiaolan also put the earmuffs on her ears, and then - the hand holding the earmuffs gently touched Quan Yi's hand, and was very close to Quan Yi's face.

That’s right…if two people share headphones, the distance between them will become very close!

Xiaolan listened attentively, as if she could even hear Quanyi's breathing. Xiaolan quietly looked to the side... Quanyi's eyelashes were very long... his neck was very beautiful... overall, his bones looked very prominent, and she always felt that... it was really great... which made her heart beat faster.

Although Xiaolan and Baiquanyi have done everything, she still enjoys being with Baiquanyi, no matter what they do?

"How...how is it?"

Xiaolan couldn't bear it anymore, so she took off her earmuffs halfway through the first song, praying that she didn't blush, and asked Quan Yi this.

"I, I like this kind of punk rock with a touch of sentiment..."

"........."

"...Izumi?"

Quan Yi took off his headphones and said with a strange look on his face:

"I'm sorry... I'm not sure."

"Ah...ah. That's true. Everyone has their own preferences for songs. Izumi doesn't need to—"

"No."

Quan Yi stretched out his right hand to Xiaolan, denied her in a slightly stronger tone, and then covered his face with his left arm.

By the way, I just noticed now... Quan Yi's face is red.

"…Because Xiaolan was too close…I couldn't concentrate."

"I—I, too."

The two of them were grinning like a goofy couple.

"Excuse me, your coffee."

The waitress came back at some point, and Xiaolan reacted strongly when she said this.

"Al?"

"You two are such a sweet couple."

The waitress left this message.

Xiaolan and Qin Xuan listened to music and enjoyed their coffee, and time passed quickly...

When they were almost at the restaurant, the two went to eat.

Then, the two of them came to the place they had planned to go today.

That is... a newly opened KTV.

"Oh~ We are so lucky. The room is so beautiful. Quan Yi, let's go inside." Xiaolan said happily.

Xiaolan urged Quan Yi, who stopped at the entrance, to place two cups of oolong tea from the beverage bar on the table, and then checked the facilities in the room.

Air conditioning OK, Wi-Fi OK, remote control OK, microphone OK.

"KTV... I've never been here with Xiaolan before!"

Bai Quanyi said.

"Yes, yes... I've always wanted to find an opportunity to go to KTV with you, Quanyi, and it finally came true." Xiaolan said.

Bai Quanyi sat on the sofa, stretched, and looked at his lovely girlfriend Xiaolan, feeling particularly happy.

"Quanyi, you must not have been to KTV for a long time, right? The Wi-Fi here is free, and there's no one else here except us, so it doesn't matter if it's a little loud... It's also very convenient for playing with your phone—"

"Not too long."

"Hey, with whom?"

"Sonoko's mother and Shinichi's mother."

"With them?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. She almost forgot that in addition to her own mother, her good friend's mother also had her eyes on Bai Quanyi.

"...Forget it." Xiaolan put all this aside and said, "Anyway, let's sing together."

"Okay."

Bai Quanyi smiled gently.

In KTV, with Xiaolan...

Although Xiaolan thought so, she had reached her limit in all aspects, so she didn't think about anything and picked up the remote control and started operating frantically.

Xiaolan chose the song to sing in KTV and picked a song that is very popular and must be sung in KTV recently.

Listening to the prelude playing──ah, so this is a heartbreak song...I found out too late!

However, once the song started, Xiaolan was able to sing it. Although Xiaolan didn't look at Quan Yi during the singing, there was nothing she could do about the interlude~.

While drinking her drink, Xiaolan looked at Quanyi intentionally or unintentionally - Bai Quanyi had his hands folded on his chest, looking very serious.

Xiaolan encouraged herself and decided to let Bai Quanyi hear the beautiful singing.

Xiaolan sang very hard. Although she made some mistakes in the second half, she still finished the whole song.

Considering that I sang without any preparation, I think I sang pretty well...

Xiaolan gave herself this evaluation, but I was startled when I heard applause.

“Eh…ah…thank you…?”

"Xiaolan."

"W-what?"

"You sing very well, too. I'm surprised."

The atmosphere became sweet, shy and troubled, so Xiaolan was frankly delighted.

"I hum songs at night when I have nothing to do."

"You won't improve by just singing all the time. I think you have talent."

"...Quan Yi, don't be so honest... Hehe... Ah, I was just joking, huh? Go ahead and make fun of me."

"...? What are you complaining about?"

"I think so..."

"Instead, it's Quan Yi's turn to sing next? Here, here's the remote control... for you?"

“…I know, but—”

“You can’t say no to singing!”

Xiaolan made an X sign and said this into the microphone, and Izumi showed a confused expression. Ah, that expression is good.

The second song is a pop electronic song with a bright and sunny rhythm.

The theme is not about heartbreak, so it is very joyful to sing.

But compared to this...

"—Oh, Izumi's song selection is great!?"

Quan Yisheng operated the remote control and selected a very popular song.

It is a song that everyone will order every time they go to KTV, but it is also a song that people will never get tired of listening to, and everyone can hum and enjoy it together.

It's just quite difficult, but difficulty is also its advantage... Huh?

However, the reality was beyond Xiaolan's imagination.

“…Huh? Eh?”

First of all, the beginning is different.

No, I should say...the lyrics are completely different!

I was looking at the picture, but the lyrics didn't match at all!

However, the reason why Xiaolan didn't point it out was because she sang so well.

“…What’s going on…”

The pitch, melody, volume, everything is perfect.

I don't know why they didn't sing according to the lyrics, but I can't help but think: "Maybe this is the original song." Or should I say it's better than the original song, and it gives me goosebumps just listening to it.

Quan Yi finished singing a song and looked towards Xiao Lan.

—Oh, no, no.

Although she didn't know why, when she saw Quan Yi now, Xiaolan's girlish heart felt like it was about to explode, and she couldn't help but look away.

──No, no, how can you look away? This is the worst response.

Xiaolan felt that she had to say something──
