The shining Shoko Toyokawa

But why... do I care so much?

Whether it's Xia Yasang or Xiangzi, who they kiss has nothing to do with me.

…………

"Huh? Can't sing? You're the lead singer, what if a lead singer can't sing?"

"Nagasaki, you're wrong again!"

Looking back, when we first started forming the band, we all wanted to compete with our older sister.

Li Xi is too strict with himself and everyone else...

"Lixi, please explain it to everyone. No matter why you are angry, you should clearly state your mistake."

"Why bother explaining it so clearly? People like me will be hated in the end anyway. Xiangzi, why don't you handle this kind of fringe work?"

"No, like this!"

In the spring, Xiangzi approached the black-haired girl and said seriously, "Lixi is Lixi, and I am just me. What kind of relationship you want to establish with everyone, whether it is close or distant, can only be decided by you, Lixi."

"……I see,"

The Yin-jiao Shiina Riki was defeated by the super Yang-jiao Toyokawa Miss.

Finally, I became good friends with everyone who was so gentle.

After that, the time we spent rehearsing and performing together was as blissful as a dream.

But the story started by Toyokawa Shoko was ultimately ended by her...

"I'm here to tell you something today. I'm quitting CRYCHIC,"

'Why? ’

"It's my own problem..."

"The lamp is asking you a question,"

"Aren't you most concerned about the lights? So don't be silent!"

"Isn't this too irresponsible?"

"You said you wanted to explain it clearly to everyone! Tell me why you want to quit!"

“Why don’t you speak?

Could you please not quit in such a troublesome way?

Everyone has been waiting for Xiangzi today!"

…………

"What on earth was I saying back then?! Why didn't I just ask properly instead of arguing with Xiangzi like an idiot?"

She was soaked by that time...

Is it because you don’t have money to buy an umbrella?

Maybe it came from far away?

…………

"Goodbye Shiina-san,"

The entrance door closed.

Shiina Riki stood in front of the entrance, doing nothing.

…………

Li Xi often thought, if one day, he opened the door and chased after her,

The same thing happened in the cafe. If she had been braver, would the outcome have been different?

She originally thought that she dreamed of Xiangzi's back in countless midnight dreams just because of guilt.

Until this moment, on Lake Vansai, she witnessed Xia Ya, who looked just like her, kissing Su Shi...

'Huh?

Am I crying?'

Tears blurred Li Xi's vision.

"Oh my god, why am I crying?"

Chapter 89: Love that ended before it even began

"Oh my god, why am I crying?"

When a person thinks of another person, he or she usually thinks of the back.

Then she and she probably don't have a close relationship.

This is the case with Lixi and Xiangzi.

If Ye Mu and Xiangzi were childhood sweethearts,

The song of the lamp is Xiangzi's cry,

And Su Shi is the one Xiangzi relies on.

It's just that she, Shiina Riki, seems to be standing aside, yet she is attracted by her brilliance...

"Why am I...crying?!"

That back, that figure, became clearer and clearer in Li Xi's mind.

As the tide of regret and mixed information receded, the naked 'truth' appeared before Li Xi's eyes -

'Do I like her?'

This conclusion was too unbelievable for Li Xi.

She even subconsciously wanted to find a reason to deny it.

I just regret that I couldn't do anything.

Just regret...

……

Didn't notice it sooner.

When she discovered her love,

When I realized why I cared so much about the girl's mystery,

That girl,

The man who is like the sun,

It’s gone now…

She originally thought that Xiangzi was the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

He just ran away from home due to a conflict with his family.

Li Xi thought that the girl owned the whole world, but all she had was dignity.

In her eyes, Xiangzi is the strong sun.

But she is just an ordinary girl who is a little bit strong-willed and a little stubborn...

'If I wasn't thinking only of myself,'

"If only... I had realized my feelings sooner..."

Although there is no if in this world,

But humans are born with a desire for a perfect ending.

Therefore, it is forgivable to fantasize about other 'possibilities', right?

But, if is just if.

It is an insurmountable wall.

The past can never be changed.

So Shiina Riki shed tears,

It wasn't because of the kiss between 'Xia Ya' and Su Shi that I felt sad.

Instead, he was commemorating the love that had not yet begun, had not yet been noticed, but had ended forever, with no other possibility.

…………

When those short yet long kisses ended, Su Shi almost lost the strength to stand.

“Aine…”

The flaxen-haired girl looked at her friend with guilt, the pink-haired girl who knew her true face but still chose to tolerate her.

She leaned against Xia Ya, but didn't dare to look at her face.

She…was afraid that she would betray her friends again and develop desires that she shouldn't have.

"Ha ha,"

Aine's smile was somewhat forced. "Well, Xia Ya-san, let's go back to the shore first. At least... at least change our clothes first."

"Miss Triangle, please follow me."

She lowered her head, not even picking up Su Shi's pistol, and pushed Sanjiao Chuhua to sit in the front seat.

She sat in the front driver's seat.

Driving this electric boat is not complicated. It requires a throttle, a steering wheel similar to a go-kart, and two buttons for forward and reverse.

“Aine, I…”

Seeing her driving as if she were running away,

Su Shi felt endless guilt in his heart.

Aiyin treated her so well, but she was still attached to the kiss of the person Aiyin liked.

This, without a doubt, was something so bad that it wouldn't be surprising if Aine and I never had anything to do with each other again.

"Xia Ya-san is so awesome, and so handsome!"

Aine always looks very lively when she mentions Xia.

Anyone can see that she likes Xia Ya.

When she learned that Xia Ya was going to join the Y organization, Su Shi was really happy for Ai Yin.

This way, she can get closer to the person she likes.

She never thought that things...would turn out like this.

"Don't think too much,"

Xia Ya bent down to pick up the gun and whispered to Su Shi: "In Daiying, kissing is just a very common thing. Aiyin will understand."

Xia added in her mind, "Because she loves you...she will understand."

"Xia Ya-san..."

Su Shi clenched his hands, "I want to die."

"You actually did something so despicable..."

"For someone like me, why would you..."

"Is Su Shi wanting to die because of her guilt towards Xiangzi?"

"I…"

Before Su Shi could answer, Xia Ya interrupted her, "Or maybe it's because of love?

But Xiangzi is no longer here, Sushi..."

Without even turning her head, Aiyin said hello to Lixi and the others, then stepped on the accelerator of the boat.

With the subtle sounds of the motor and propeller, the boat began to move forward.
