Sanjiao Hatsuka obediently closed her eyes, and the sound of Toyokawa Shoko humming softly and the sound of water flowing in the aquarium came to her ears.

After a while, he felt something being put on his wrist.

"You can open it now."

He opened his eyes and found a hand-woven bracelet on his wrist, strung with a few small fluorescent beads, emitting a soft light in the dark.

It’s just that the main part of this bracelet looks familiar.

Sanjiao Hatsuka's gaze lingered on the bracelet for a moment, his fingertips gently caressing the familiar color. He raised his head and looked at Toyokawa Shoko, noticing a faint blush on her cheeks and a somewhat evasive look in her eyes.

"Is this... Xiaoxiang's old headband?"

"Yeah, I made it with my old headband."

His heart trembled slightly as he felt the remaining warmth on the bracelet, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of shampoo in Toyokawa Shoko's hair.

"Can Xia wear it all the time?" Toyokawa Shoko's voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself, "I hope Xia will think of me every day when she sees this bracelet."

You can't be the only one who said such embarrassing things to me...

Seeing her blushing, Sanjiao Chuxia felt a warm current in his heart. He gently held her hand and felt the slight trembling of her fingertips.

"I will." Sanjiao Chuxia said seriously, "Every time I see it, I will think of Xiaoxiang."

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head, a gleam in her eyes, and a shy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"That's good."

………………

The two walked to the aquarium's lounge area and found a seat by the window. The sunlight from outside the window shone through the glass onto the table, casting mottled shadows.

"I'm going to buy two rice balls. What do you want to eat, Xiaoxiang?"

"No need to buy it, I've prepared a lunch box."

As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko carefully took out the lunch box from her bag and unwrapped it with the tablecloth. The moment she opened the lid, an alluring aroma filled her face.

Several exquisite dishes were neatly arranged in the bento box: golden and crispy fried chicken nuggets, rice balls wrapped in nori, green broccoli, and some tempura.

"I made this this morning. It might be a little cold, so just eat it."

How happy!

Sanjiao Chuxia looked at the bento in front of him, his heartbeat quickening involuntarily. He picked up a piece of fried chicken and took a bite. The skin was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and the aroma of black pepper filled his mouth.

"It's delicious." He said sincerely, "It's even better than I imagined."

Shoko Toyokawa supported her chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"So... which one tastes better, my cooking or Su Shi's?"

"Cough cough."

Sanjiao Chuxia was choked by this sudden question, coughed lightly twice, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

To be honest, Nagasaki Sushi is definitely more delicious, but that obviously cannot be said here.

"I prefer the bento made by Xiaoxiang."

It wasn't a lie; it was his true thought, but he avoided the point of "tastier".

Seeing Sanjiao Chuxia answering seriously, she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's just a joke." Toyokawa Shoko picked up a piece of tempura and brought it to his mouth. "Try this one, I wonder if it suits your taste."

Chapter 93: What? Crychic disbanded?

"Xiaoxiang? Chuxia?" A soft voice came with a hint of uncertainty.

They both turned their heads at the same time and saw a girl with short gray hair standing not far away, holding a thin notebook with a starry sky printed on the cover.

She looked here timidly, with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to get closer but didn't dare to disturb him.

"Xiao Deng!" Toyokawa Shoko stood up in surprise, her eyes suddenly lighting up. "Are you coming to the aquarium too?"

"Yeah." Gao Songdeng nodded.

She is a frequent visitor to the aquarium and even has an annual pass.

The moment Sanjiao Hatsuka saw Takamatsu Touma, her body stiffened unconsciously. The scene of her leaving the team that day suddenly appeared in her mind.

……

"Hatsuka..." Gao Songdeng looked at his expression and stretched out his hand with some worry.

However, Sanjiao Hatsuka took a step back and shook her head at her.

"I want to quit Crychic." His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something that was not important at all. "That's it."

……

"Xiao Deng..." he called softly, with a barely perceptible hint of guilt in his voice.

A few days after he officially quit Crychic, Shiina Riki sent him several messages, saying that Takamatsu Deng cried very sadly after he left.

In this matter, Sanjiao Chuxia felt that the person she felt most sorry for was Takamatsu Deng.

His withdrawal from Crychic had almost no impact on Wakaba Mutsu. Shiina Riki was a very strong person, and Nagasaki Motoyo was one of the main culprits for his withdrawal from Crychic.

The only one who was deeply hurt was Gao Songdeng, the introverted and sensitive girl.

Gao Songdeng hugged the notebook tightly in his arms, avoiding eye contact, and was somewhat afraid to meet Sanjiao Hatsuka's gaze.

"Chuxia..." Her voice was very soft, completely different from when she was singing on the stage, "Long time no see."

Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Shoko Toyokawa quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Xiao Deng, do you want to sit down and rest with me? We are having lunch, why don't you try some too."

Gao Songdeng hesitated for a moment, his eyes lingered on Sanjiao Hatsuka's face for a moment, and then he lowered his head.

"No, no need."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Something is wrong. Something must be wrong.

Shoko Toyokawa knew about Takamatsu Tomo's condition. When she decided to quit Crychic, she paid special attention to Takamatsu Tomo's emotions and comforted him on Line for several consecutive days.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so depressed.

Before she could figure out the reason, Sanjiao Hatsuka had already stood up and grabbed Takamatsu Deng's wrist.

"Xiao Deng, if you have time, let's do it together. We... haven't seen each other for a long time."

She raised her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She bit her lower lip, then nodded and slowly walked to the table and sat down.

Toyokawa Shoko enthusiastically picked up a piece of fried chicken and handed it to Takamatsu Deng: "Try it, this is what I made this morning."

She took the fried chicken nuggets, took a bite carefully, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"good to eat……"

"Right, right, Xia also said it was delicious!"

At the mention of Mikado Hatsuka, Takamatsu's expression stiffened again. She lowered her head, staring at the starry sky cover of her notebook, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Hatsuka...how are you doing lately?"

You looked miserable when you quit Crychic.

Sanjiao Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Xiao Deng?"

Gao Songdeng did not answer immediately. He was silent for a few seconds before he said softly, "I... don't know."

"Eh?"

"What's wrong, Xiao Deng? Did something happen?"

Toyokawa Shoko leaned closer, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with worry. She reached out and gently held Takamatsu's hand, feeling her fingers were a little cold.

Feeling the familiar concern, Takamatsu Deng's expression became a little sad, as if he was about to cry.

"Crychic...disbanded."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Disbanded?" Toyokawa Shoko widened her eyes, her voice filled with disbelief, "How could it be... Su Shi and Li Xi are still here."

She shook her head, her eyes somewhat empty.

"I...can't sing anymore, so Sushi-chan disbanded Crychic."

Seeing Gao Songdeng like this, Sanjiao Chuxia's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was stabbed by something sharp.

The words that Nagasaki Suyo said that day echoed in his mind -

"I won't beg you to come back to Crychic anymore, Xia. I'm so sorry to have bothered you these past few days."

Is it because of me? It was because of my resolute rejection of Su Shi that she disbanded the band.

Sanjiao Chuxia's throat felt like it was blocked, and breathing became difficult. His fingers unconsciously clenched, his fingertips digging deep into his palms, but he felt no pain.

"If, I promised Su Shi..." He murmured in a low voice, his voice full of self-blame.

Shoko Toyokawa noticed that something was wrong with Sankaku Hatsuka and gently held his hand.

Gao Songdeng raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes: "Actually... Sushi-chan has been trying very hard to maintain the band. But I still can't sing... Sushi-chan is disappointed..."

There was a deep sense of powerlessness in her tone, like a boat that had lost its direction, drifting in the vast ocean.

The gray-haired girl blamed all the mistakes on herself.

"It's not Xiaodeng's fault!" Sanjiao Chuxia said suddenly.

"That's right, it's not Xiao Deng's fault." Toyokawa Shoko agreed, looking at Gao Songdeng with eyes full of heartache, "Su Shi is definitely not the kind of person who would disband the band just because Xiao Deng can't sing well."

"But... I didn't stop Crychic from disbanding..."

Whether it was when Chuxia quit or when Sushi-chan disbanded Crychic, I had no idea what to do. I could only watch as things gradually took a turn for the worst...

If I had been able to hold on to early summer at that time, would everything have been different?

Sanjiao Chuxia took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more resolute.

"Xiao Deng, the disbanding of Crychic is not anyone's fault. I will get everyone together again and make everything clear."

Even if we have to disband, we must do so without any regrets.

………………

P.S. Chu Xia was originally going to quit the band after the live, but after the misunderstanding between Su Shi and Xiang Zi, the quitting was a bit unpleasant (

ps2: The setting left is Chuhua's aunt, not Chuxia's uncle. Chuxia is from another world and has no blood relationship with him (and Chuxia still calls him Brother Xiang)

Chapter 94: I have decided to...disband Crychic

In the training room, the lights were dim and the air was filled with a faint smell of dust.

Nagasaki Suyo stood in a corner of the room, gently plucking the strings of her bass, producing a low sound. From time to time, her eyes flicked to Takamatsu Deng, who stood in the center, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Xiao Deng, are you okay? Still can't sing?"

Gao Songdeng nodded.

Ever since the day Sanjiao Chuxia left, her throat felt like it was blocked, unable to utter a single sound. The training room was eerily quiet, with only the sounds of unplugged instruments echoing through the room.

"Deng, you can do it." Shiina Riki's voice came from behind, with a hint of encouragement, "Just like before, relax a little."
