"I'll go with you, Chuhua."

"No need." Sanjiao Chuhua propped himself up, shook his head, and a gentle smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "You guys continue watching, I'll be back soon."

She tiptoed out of the classroom and carefully closed the door. The bright lights in the corridor made her squint slightly, and the afterimages left by the starry sky seemed to still flicker in her vision.

Sanjiao Chuhua leaned against the wall and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The screen displayed several messages from her agent, asking about her schedule for tomorrow. She replied mechanically, but her thoughts drifted back to the two of them in the classroom.

(Xia and Xiaoxiang...are really a perfect match...)

She took a deep breath and decided to go to the vending machine to buy a few drinks. That way, when she returned, she could use the excuse of "buying a drink" as an excuse without appearing too contrived.

In the classroom, the starry sky projection is switching to the Summer Triangle.

The starry sky slowly flows across the ceiling, casting a hazy glow.

Toyokawa Shoko quietly moved towards Sanjiao Hatsuka, and their shoulders touched lightly.

"Is Chuhua... okay?" she asked in a low voice, worry in her voice.

"He probably just went to the bathroom. Xiaochu seems to be in a good mood these days."

"That's good."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, but touched the back of his hand in the dark.

Sanjiao Chuxia was slightly stunned, then seemed to understand something and took her hand in return. Her fingertips were slightly cold, and trembled slightly when they were wrapped in his warm palm.

The projection just happened to switch to Scorpio, and the red star Antares was particularly bright in the darkness. Using the starlight as a shield, Toyokawa Shoko leaned her head against his shoulder.

Sanjiao Chuxia's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He tilted his head, his nose almost touching her hair, the scent of shampoo lingering in his breath.

"Xia..." She called softly, her breath caressing the side of his neck, "Actually, I... I dreamed of playing with Xia when I was a child."

"Eh?"

"I don't know if that was the memory you had of me there, but ever since that day I've felt guilty for saying that to you."

"Are you still bringing up what happened before? Didn't I tell you I didn't care about it anymore?"

"No, this time it's different."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, threaded her fingers through his, and interlocked theirs: "I'm starting to envy him now. He's valued so much by you, and you regard him as your goal."

She took a deep breath and looked directly into Sanjiao Hatsuka's eyes.

"Xia, can you answer me? Are you... still treating me as a replacement for 'Xiang Ge'?"

(!!!)

(Why does Xiaoxiang know Brother Xiang?)

Shoko Toyokawa's words shocked his heart, as if a heavy stone had hit the calm surface of a lake, causing ripples.

Looking at her determined eyes, Sanjiao Hatsuxia sighed.

"To be honest, there is a part of it. After all, whether it was my motivation for looking for you the first time or my subsequent attitude towards you, it was all closely related to Brother Xiang."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression changed slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She lowered her head, her fingers gently caressing the place where their hands were clasped.

"I knew it……"

………………

P.S. I feel happy when I think about what I will write next and what I will write after that.

Chapter 142: Chu Hua takes a taxi home alone

Toyokawa Shoko's expression changed slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She lowered her head, her fingers gently caressing the place where their hands were clasped.

"I knew it……"

"But," Sanjiao Chuxia smiled slightly, "even so, my feelings towards you and Brother Xiang are completely different now."

"Eh?"

"I am absolutely certain that the feelings I have now are because of you, 'Toyokawa Shoko,' not because of 'Toyokawa Sho.'"

Although he did not directly state the name of this feeling, Shoko Toyokawa knew what he was talking about.

She raised her head, a trace of tenderness and emotion flashing in her eyes. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile, that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and bright.

"Xia, close your eyes."

"Ah."

Vaguely guessing what was going to happen next, Sanjiao Hatsuxia obediently closed her eyes.

Toyokawa Shoko's breathing trembled slightly, and her warm breath gently brushed the corner of his lips.

She could feel her heart beating incredibly fast, her ears burning, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

(A little closer...)

Sanjiao Hatsuka was also so nervous that he held his breath. He could clearly feel the slight air current brought by Toyokawa Shoko's approach, and her faint body fragrance lingered on his nose.

In a world with eyes closed, other senses are infinitely magnified——

Toyokawa Shoko's slightly rapid breathing, the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the warm breath that was getting closer and closer, making my heart beat faster.

At the moment when their lips were about to touch, she suddenly tilted her head. A kiss as soft as a feather finally landed on the corner of Sanjiao Chuxia's lips.

The touch at that moment made both of them tremble slightly.

Unlike Sanjiao Chuhua's passionate pursuit, Toyokawa Shoko's lips were incredibly soft, with a slight coolness, gently brushing against them like a snowflake.

In the short half second of that pause, Sanjiao Chuxia could feel her trembling slightly.

When they separated, Shoko Toyokawa hurriedly stepped back a little, and her fingers unconsciously touched the place where she had just kissed him.

Under the starlight, her eyes were moist and shining, and her lips were slightly pursed because of nervousness.

"You gave a very good answer just now. This is a reward for you..."

Sanjiao Hatsuka opened her eyes and saw Toyokawa Shoko's blushing face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"thanks for treatment."

At this moment, the classroom door was suddenly opened with a slight sound.

Sanjiao Chuhua stood at the classroom door holding three cans of drinks, gently rubbing his fingertips on the cold cans.

Under the dim starlight, she saw the hurried separation of Sankaku Hatsuka and Toyokawa Shoko, the lingering blush on the latter's cheeks, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

"I'm home," she whispered, her voice softer than usual.

When she walked up to the two of them, she deliberately slowed down her pace, her eyes sweeping over the slightly red tips of Sanjiao Hatsuka's ears and her fingers intertwined with Toyokawa Shoko.

"Here, I bought you a drink."

Sanjiao Chuhua handed the cans of coffee to the two of them and kept a can of lemonade for himself. The click of the cans opening was particularly clear in the quiet classroom.

Fortunately, there are not many people in this classroom, so there is no need to worry about disturbing others.

"Thank you, Xiaochu."

"Well, it's nothing."

She took a sip of lemonade, and the sour taste spread on the tip of her tongue, just like the bitterness in her heart.

………………

Outside the classroom, Kasumi Toyama was sorting brochures with Misaki Okuzawa at the door. When she saw the three people coming out, she immediately waved enthusiastically.

"How is it? Do you like our starry sky?"

"Excellent." Toyokawa Shoko nodded gracefully in thanks. "Thank you, Kasumi-senpai, for your hospitality."

I don't know what she meant by "very good".

"What do you think, Chuhua?"

Sanjiao Chuhua nodded slightly: "Yeah, it's a very beautiful starry sky, I like it very much."

"That's all for now, we'll go back first, Kasumi-senpai."

"Wait, Xiao Xia, will you come to the cultural festival of Hanaoka Girls' Academy tomorrow?"

"Higaoka Girls' Academy? It's not appropriate for me to go there alone as a boy..." Sankaku Hatsuka scratched her cheek awkwardly.

Toyama Kasumi just smiled and waved her hands.

"It's okay! During the cultural festival, boys are allowed to visit! And..."

She paused suddenly and said, "Tomorrow at Yugaoka, there are many bands performing. Are you sure you won't come, Xiaoxia?"

"Does that include Poppin' Party?"

"Of course!"

"Then I'll bring everyone from [personaction] along."

"Yeah!" Toyama Kasumi happily made a victory sign, her brown "cat ears" dancing happily with her movements. "Then it's settled! See you tomorrow~"

When I walked out of the school gate, the sun had already set.

There were still three of them on the way back, but for some reason Sankaku Hatsuhua no longer held Sankaku Hatsuka's hand. Instead, Toyokawa Shoko and him were almost openly holding hands.

"Xia." Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly stopped and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "You take Xiaoxiang home. I can take a taxi back by myself."

"Eh, no need. How can I let Chuhua be alone..."

"it does not matter."

She smiled and interrupted Toyokawa Shoko: "Today... I am already very happy."

Under the halo of the street lamp, the violet eyes were as gentle as a lake filled with starlight.

"But……"

"Xia." Sanjiao Chuhua put on his mask and baseball cap again, "Make sure to send Xiaoxiang home safely."

After saying that, she took a half step back and waved to the two of them: "Goodbye."

The turning movement was crisp and smooth, as if it had been practiced thousands of times.

Looking at Sankaku Hatsuka's departing back, her slender figure was quickly swallowed up by the crowd of people at the cultural festival. Sankaku Hatsuka subconsciously wanted to catch up, but was gently pulled back by Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko's fingers tightened slightly, and she held her hand even tighter. Her voice was soft, but with a gentleness that could not be refused: "Xia... stop chasing me."

The halo of light from the street lamp fell on her eyelashes, casting fine shadows.

She looked up at Sanjiao Chuxia, her eyes gleaming with a complex light.

"Chuhua deliberately created an opportunity for us to be alone... Don't waste her kindness."

Toyokawa Shoko took a step forward, and their shadows merged into one on the ground.

"And..." Her voice gradually trailed off, with the shyness that only a young girl could muster. "I also want to... spend some time alone with Xia."

The hustle and bustle of the cultural festival seemed to suddenly fade away, leaving only the real warmth of the two people's clasped hands.

Sanjiao Hatsuka looked at Toyokawa Shoko's slightly flushed cheeks, and a warm feeling surged in her chest.

………………

P.S. Let Xiaoxiang push the progress, it will be more fun when it becomes awesome later (happy)

P.S. 2: You didn't let Chuxia catch up just to be alone, right? Xiaoxiang, you're really all about yourself. Should I punish you by making you eat last?

Chapter 143: Encountering a Poppin'Party Fan

“The second day of the cultural festival must also be lively!”

A girl with short, red-streaked hair stood in the center of the stage, shouting energetically into the microphone. The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Class 12 B is also having a celebration, please come and take care of us!"

Her fingers lightly plucked the guitar strings, and the crisp notes instantly ignited the atmosphere of the whole venue.
