Sanjiao Chuxia followed his teammates onto the stage, and the glaring spotlight made him squint subconsciously.
The cheers from the audience came like a tide. He saw Nagasaki Suyo waving at him gently, and Shiina Riki rarely smiled.
Toyama Kasumi suddenly squeezed through the crowd, almost throwing off her star-shaped hair accessories: "Xiao Xia! Everyone stand together!"
Without saying anything, she grabbed Sanka Hatsuka's hand and dragged him and the other members of Personaction to the center of the stage.
"Wait, Kasumi-senpai, this spot is too conspicuous..."
"It's okay!" Her amethyst eyes sparkled. "We're all the stars today!"
Toyama Kasumi suddenly raised her hands: "1! 2! 3!"
“Thank you everyone!!!”*29
The cheers nearly blew the roof off the stage, and streamers fluttered from the ceiling, dancing like butterflies under the spotlight.
(It’s great to form a band.)
………………
[1] From the little theater pico in Bandoli, where Rimi eats too many chocolate snails and ends up turning into a chocolate snail.
P.S.: Because Xiao Xia helped Popipa twice in what seemed to be crucial places, she was pulled over. It's quite reasonable, right? (If you want to scold me, scold me for repaying a favor, don't scold Xiao Xia QWQ)
P.S.2: The second volume has been successfully concluded!!! Finally, I would like to ask for money and blades. Tomorrow, there will be Xiaochu’s victory summary (just in time for 520)
Postscript: Chu Hua's victory settlement (5k5)
"Walk slowly, be careful not to be recognized." Sanjiao Chuxia looked at her lover beside her, her voice filled with gentle concern.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away."
Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua slowed down and walked side by side with him. The breeze blew through her short hair, giving it a soft sheen in the sunlight.
"There's no need to apologize..." Sanjiao Chuxia naturally interlocked her fingers with her, "If Xiaochu acts too conspicuously and gets recognized by fans, we won't be able to have a good date."
Sanjiao Chuhua nodded slightly, her eyes fixed on their clasped hands. Her fingertips gently caressed the back of the other's hand, as if to confirm the authenticity of the warmth.
"That's right. We finally have time to go out on a date, so we can't waste it."
"After all, Xiaochu is a popular idol now, so he has less time to spend with me, his 'little brother'~"
"Xia Buya goes to the band every day." She gently pinched the skin on the back of Sanjiao Chuxia's hand, "In the morning, you spend time with Xiaoxiang, in the afternoon, you spend time with Xiaomu, and at night, you write lyrics. I really don't know who your girlfriend is."
However, Sankaku Hatsuka naturally couldn't be angry about these things. After all, she had already said that she allowed him to cheat on Toyokawa Shoko. And Wakaba Mu... was actually within her tacit consent.
No one except him could tell that the taciturn girl liked Sanjiao Hatsuxia.
Perhaps Shoko Toyokawa can also be included?
But she is always the first one, no matter if it is a kiss or other things...
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Sanjiao Chuhua's face suddenly began to turn slightly red.
"Chirp."
Suddenly, Sanjiao Chuxia pecked her lightly on the face.
"Eh?"
"This is compensation for Xiaochu."
Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes, but couldn't help but smile slightly. She raised her hand and gently touched the place where she was kissed, and felt warmth from her fingertips.
"Is this compensation or a reward for you?"
"It's fine no matter what." Sanjiao Chuxia chuckled and gently pinched her palm with her fingertips. "Anyway, Xiaochu is always more proactive than me in doing things like this."
"That's because... because it's Xia, so I..."
Her voice gradually lowered, with a hint of shyness.
Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the two of them. The light swayed gently in the breeze. Sanjiao Chuxia's gaze rested gently on her profile.
"I know."
At least he didn't hate it.
"Stop talking about this and go to the aquarium. Today's schedule is very full."
The two walked slowly along the tree-lined avenue and came to the familiar tram stop. Sanjiao Chuxia stopped, took out two sunglasses from her bag, and handed one to Sanjiao Chuhua.
"Put this on," he said, putting on his sunglasses. "There are quite a lot of people on the train. If I stay for a long time, I'll probably be recognized by fans."
“It’s impossible for my fans to be everywhere.”
Having said that, Sanjiao Chuhua still put on his sunglasses obediently.
The tram arrived at the station soon, and they found a window seat and sat down. The tram ran smoothly on the track, and the city scenery outside the window passed by quickly.
Sanjiao Chuhua leaned against the window, her eyes behind her sunglasses quietly gazing out. Sanjiao Chuxia sat beside her, their shoulders gently touching.
"Come to think of it," Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly spoke in a very soft voice, "the last time I came to the aquarium was for Sumimi's filming. Summer hadn't arrived yet at that time."
"Come to think of it, I do have some impression of it. I was filming at an aquarium."
However, the insignificant feelings at that time have long been overshadowed by the memories of "going to the aquarium with everyone from Crychic", "going to the aquarium with Mana", and "going to the aquarium with Xiaoxiang".
"It seems Mana has become interested in aquariums since that time, so she occasionally comes to the aquarium during her free time."
"I see. No wonder Mana seemed so familiar with the aquarium last time."
Sanka Hatsuka recalled that the last time Junda Mana brought him to the aquarium, she was the one who took him around to see things.
However, lost in his memories, he didn't seem to notice that after he said this, the expression of his lover beside him seemed to become a little strange.
"Natsu... have you ever been to the aquarium with Mana?"
(When did my best friend steal my home?)
"Yes, it was a few days before you disappeared back to the island, Xiaochu." Sanjiao Hatsuka had no intention of hiding anything. "Mana asked me what I thought of you that day. Now that I think about it, she must have been aware of your situation at that time."
(A few days before I returned to the island? Wasn't that the time Mana wanted to talk to me? I didn't expect her to act so quickly...)
Chu Hua suddenly found out that her best friend had not stolen her home, and her mood calmed down.
"In the end, I ran away without permission before Mana could come to comfort me. Fortunately..."
"It's a good thing I didn't come all the way to see you, right?"
"Yeah." She nodded. "If I wait until I calm down before coming back, my relationship with Xia might remain stuck at 'sister and brother' forever."
Even so, the fact that they broke through the final step on that day was still somewhat beyond Sanjiao Chuhua's expectations.
The atmosphere was so good at that time that she couldn't help but go straight for A, without thinking about how embarrassing it would be if Sanjiao Chuxia refused.
"How could I let you get away after doing that to me without my permission?"
He held Sanjiao Chuhua's hand tighter, as if he wanted to convey to her his determination of "not letting go" in this way.
The tram arrived at the station and the two got off the train with the crowd. The aquarium's iconic blue dome sparkled in the sun.
After entering the exhibition hall, they were enveloped in a shimmering blue light. Sanjiao Chuhua slowed her pace, pausing for a moment at each display window. Her expression was focused and serene, occasionally revealing a look of surprise at the passing fish—she clearly grew up by the sea, a fisherman's child.
"Do you want to go see the penguins?" Sanjiao Chuxia asked softly, afraid to break the quiet atmosphere.
Sanjiao Chuhua nodded and took his hand. Her palm was warm, soft, and slightly moist.
"I heard there are some cute new penguins, so I'd go check them out."
Actually, it’s not that new, it’s been quite a while.
In the penguin exhibit, Sanjiao Chuhua was mesmerized. Suddenly, a penguin leaped from the water, its splash causing the surrounding children to exclaim in surprise. Sanjiao Chuxia noticed the corners of her mouth curl up slightly, her eyes gleaming with delight.
After all, she is a girl, and she will still like cute things.
"Xiaochu, do you want to go to the souvenir shop?" He suggested after visiting the main exhibition area. "You can buy some small things to take back."
"Okay."
The two of them arrived at the souvenir shop. Sanjiao Chuhua's eyes wandered among the dazzling array of souvenirs until she was drawn to a pair of penguin-shaped keychains. She picked one up and gently rubbed it in her palm.
"Do you want to buy a pair?" Sanjiao Chuxia asked close to her ear.
Sanjiao Chuhua's face flushed slightly, but he nodded: "Well... one for you and one for me."
When checking out, the clerk looked at them a few more times, but ultimately did not recognize the young couple wearing sunglasses.
Walking out of the store, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" She turned around in confusion.
I saw Sanjiao Chuxia take out the key chain from his pocket and solemnly hang it on his key chain which only had two keys.
“That way you won’t lose it.”
Sunlight streamed through the aquarium's glass dome, casting tiny specks of light on his face. Sanjiao Chuhua looked at his profile, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She took out her keychain and hung it on her bag.
When we walked out of the aquarium after lunch, the afternoon sun was just right.
Sanjiao Chuxia glanced at the time and said, "There's still some time before the movie starts. Do you want to go to a nearby cafe?"
"Okay." Sanjiao Chuhua nodded, "I remember Yuze Cafe is nearby, let's go there."
After crossing the street and walking for less than ten minutes, a warmly decorated cafe appeared before my eyes. The wind chimes at the door chimed as I pushed the door open.
"Welcome..." The girl who was wiping the coffee cup looked up and her voice suddenly stopped. "Ah, it's Hatsuka-san."
"Good afternoon, Thrush-senpai." Sankaku Hatsuka gave a polite smile. "Could you help me find a quiet spot? My sister and I would like to rest here for a while."
(Hatsuka-san’s sister, isn’t that…)
Although Tsugumi Hazawa didn't pay much attention to other idols, she had heard Wakamiya Eve mention Mikado Hatsuka.
Then, Tsugumi Hanazawa nodded in understanding, with a professional waiter's smile on her face: "This way, please."
She led the two of them to a corner seat by the window, which was half-surrounded by green plants and was private and bright.
"A latte, please."
"I'd like an iced Americano."
After taking down the order, Tsugumi Yuzawa bowed slightly and left. Sankaku Hatsuka watched her departing figure and whispered thoughtfully, "Is Xia familiar with the staff here?"
"I guess so." Sankaku Hatsuka took off his sunglasses, the sunlight filtering through the window casting a soft glow on his face. "Tsugumi-senpai is the keyboardist for Afterglow. I met him when we were preparing for Popipa's live."
Sanjiao Chuhua also took off his sunglasses, and his violet eyes were particularly clear under the natural light.
"I see...it seems Xia has made quite a few friends 'here'."
"Well, everyone is a very nice person."
Tsugumi Yuzawa quickly returned with the drinks and placed the coffee gently on the table.
"Please enjoy."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Tugumi-senpai."
She took a sip of her iced Americano, a bitter taste spreading across her tongue. She looked out the window at the hurried passersby and suddenly said, "I've never imagined this kind of scene..."
"What picture?" Sanjiao Chuxia looked at her with some confusion.
"Sitting peacefully with the person I love, I feel so relaxed that it feels unreal." Sanjiao Chuhua withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the person in front of him. "I thought... I would be trapped in the loneliness I created for the rest of my life."
Sanjiao Chuxia reached out and covered the back of her hand, and the warm touch came through her skin.
"Aren't you out now?"
"Well..." She gently held the hand back, "Because Xia appeared when I needed him most and filled the void in my heart all at once."
The sunlight outside the window gradually set in the west, giving the outlines of the two people a golden edge.
"The movie is about to start." Sanjiao Chuhua checked the time. "Should we go now?"
He nodded, and the two of them put on their sunglasses and left Yuze Cafe.
………………
The lights in the cinema were already on, and Sanjiao Chuxia took out the tickets she had booked in advance. The theater wasn't crowded, so they found seats near the back.
