Perhaps because the penguin was protected from falling, Deng didn't feel much pain and had no wounds on his body.

Moreover, Rin was very light, so even now that Rin was sitting astride him, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

So, Takamatsu Deng lay quietly on the ground and observed Rin's cheek.

It was the first time that Deng saw Rin from this perspective, and coupled with the intimate actions of the two at this time, she could really feel how thin Rin was.

"It's okay...why are you running so fast?"

Lin sighed helplessly and was about to get up from Takamatsu Deng's waist, but he heard footsteps behind him again.

A bad premonition came to mind.

"Deng, you..."

Li Xi's voice stopped abruptly.

"What are you two doing?"

Shiina Riki looked at the two people being intimate on the ground in disbelief, his movements paused, and the words of concern that were originally on his lips suddenly stopped.

A strong sense of disharmony tore through Lixi's head. She took a few unsteady steps back and looked down in disbelief at Gao Songdeng, who was lying on the ground with an extremely calm expression.

To be honest, the wonderful viewing experience makes it difficult to look away from the lamp.

She didn't notice Shiina Riki coming over at the side.

"The lamp fell over and she dragged me to the ground. It's that simple."

Rin patted his trouser legs, climbed up from Deng's waist, and faced Shiina Riki's questioning gaze.

"Um......"

Gao Songdeng saw the girl on his body disappear, then he reacted and responded vaguely.

"Are you sure you didn't knock over the lamp?"

Recalling the shocking scene just now, Shiina Riki couldn't help but frown and looked up and down at Shimizu Rin who was about to leave.

"If you don't believe me, ask the lamp yourself."

Qing Shui Lin was too lazy to get angry with Li Xi.

An opponent who couldn't even handle four attacks in one second was nothing more than a defeated opponent in Lin's eyes.

Shiina Riki frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Takamatsu Deng.

"Lixi, I accidentally fell... Lin, your calf is scratched... I have a band-aid here..."

After saying that, Takamatsu Deng quickly took out a few penguin band-aids from his pocket and carefully handed them to Shimizu Rin.

Lin looked at the girl's expectant eyes, thought about it, and finally accepted the penguin band-aid from Deng.

"Well, thank you."

Although it was the lamp that caused Rin to fall, Rin still expressed her gratitude for the band-aid from the lamp.

After all, it's a thoughtful gesture.

Lin took the band-aid and tore one off and put it on the broken wound on the spot.

Takamatsu Deng looked at the penguin band-aid on Rin's smooth calf and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

But after noticing Li Xi's gaze, she immediately returned to her previous state.

Now that the matter was understood, Lin prepared to leave immediately.

But Shiina Riki suddenly called out to Rin.

"cold."

"what happened?"

Out of politeness, Qing Shui Lin stopped and prepared to listen to what Li Xi wanted to say.

"Are you going to continue forming a band?"

Shiina Ritsuki's words were shocking, but looking at his determined eyes, Rin immediately understood that he was serious and that this sentence was obviously not a joke.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Shimizu Rin was a little confused. Everyone had already made the situation so tense before, so why would Shiina Riki say such a thing now?

Is it for the lights?

It's not impossible... After all, for the current Tatsuki Shiina, having a Takamatsu in the band is enough.

"Let's form a new band? Without Xiangzi."

Shiina Riki spoke straight to the point, completely unaware of the pale face of Takamatsu Deng beside him.

This was obviously Li Xi's own idea.

"What do you mean? That's not something you would say."

Rin's expression changed, a hint of gloom appeared on his face, and he looked at Shiina Ritsuki who was wearing the RiNG work clothes.

Li Xi is neither the organizer of the band nor the leading role in the band that shoulders important responsibilities.

Now that she said she wanted to reunite the band, the only reason Shimizu Rin could think of was probably because of Takamatsu Touma.

I have to re-form a band because of the lights...

Shimizu Rin was unable to comment for a moment, and looked at Shiina Tatsuki who was standing in front of her with contempt.

"Forgive me for refusing."

"why?"

Li Xi asked hurriedly, reaching out to stop Qingshui Lin who was trying to leave in a detour.

"No reason. Besides, Deng wouldn't want to do this, would she? Being self-righteous won't solve the problem."

"But we can..."

Shiina Riki was about to argue, but Shimizu Rin didn't give her a chance. She turned and slipped away in another direction, quickly leaving the sight of the two.

After so many experiences of being blocked at the door, Lin's proficiency in escaping has increased greatly.

"I......"

Li Xi stared at the direction where Lin left, unwilling to chase, and stood there lost in thought.

Still failed...

It turned out that I couldn't form a band like Xiangzi.

Is this... the consequence of having no talent?

51. Distressed Xiang

My sister and Xiangzi can do it, why can't I...

Shiina Riki once again fell into self-doubt, her face gloomy. She clenched her fists unwillingly, and her heart was still confused.

"Lixi..."

Gao Songdeng looked at his friend with worry in his eyes, wanting to reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, but he pulled back halfway because of fear.

She naturally knew that Shiina Riki wanted to reunite the band.

After all, the first person Li Xi invited was himself...

But I can't give an answer or a choice.

Because of the tragic experience of CRYCHIC, Takamatsu Deng no longer dared to touch the band. She was afraid that everyone would break up because of her again.

The girl kept the thought of her life sealed in her heart. She spent her peaceful life picking up stones every day in confusion, waiting for someone who could share her confusion.

"I'm fine, Deng..." Shiina Riki lowered her head so Deng couldn't see her expression. She opened her mouth and uttered the last words: "I still have to work. I'll leave first."

Immediately afterwards, Shiina Riki quickly returned to RiNG, ignoring the lights behind him who wanted to keep him.

At this point, Li Xi's abnormal condition made Gao Songdeng extremely worried, but she couldn't take a step forward.

How to do?

Am I going to be lost like this for the rest of my life?

......

......

That evening.

Qing Shui Lin said goodbye to Xing Ge and Hong Xia, and set out on the journey home alone, carrying her Santa on her back.

As night fell, the green light came on at the intersection, and Lin lowered his head to blend into the crowd.

The warm light from the street lamps cast shadows on the girl's eyelashes. She took a deep breath, and the humid and hot air in the city rushed into her nostrils.

Lin had been walking for a long time carrying the guitar, and his legs were already heavy and numb.

When she was about to rush home to take a bath and relax, she unexpectedly saw a blue figure next to a convenience store.

The familiar black hairband reveals the person's name - Toyokawa Shoko

The young lady who is currently living away from home, a young girl working in Tokyo, and also the founder of CRYCHIC.

"..."

Lin stopped and watched. She hadn't seen Toyokawa Shoko since CRYCHIC disbanded, and she didn't see Shoko on the rooftop of the teaching building during lunch break.

At this time, Xiangzi was standing at the front desk awkwardly holding a discounted lunch box.

The girl's face flushed red, she looked around helplessly, and a few drops of crystal sweat appeared on her forehead.

Yesterday, Xiao Xiang, a part-time worker, clocked out after a tiring day, but unexpectedly received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, asking her to bring money to redeem Xiang's father, who was found drunk on the street.

Because of this incident, Xiangzi had to use the money he earned from working to redeem his drunkard father.

A young girl carries a drunken old man on her back as she walks home at night...

So after paying the ransom yesterday, Xiangzi went to the convenience store to buy a discounted lunch, only to find that he didn't have enough money in his wallet.

But she had already reached the cashier with her lunch box, and there were people waiting in line behind her to pay...

Faced with the puzzled looks from other customers and the cashier, Shoko Toyokawa's face immediately turned red. She was in a dilemma and shame occupied her mind.

As the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, Shoko Toyokawa has been well-fed and well-clothed since childhood, so her spending was naturally as she pleased.

Before leaving the Toyokawa family, she had never experienced such a difficult situation.

There were even so many people around watching her embarrassment!

Xiangzi gritted her teeth, and just as she was about to save face and say "This is not needed", a familiar yet unfamiliar voice exploded in her ears.

"I'll pay."

Rin glanced lightly at Toyokawa Shoko, who had a dull expression and eyes fixed on her.

Lin took in all the complexity and fear in the other person's eyes.

Shimizu Rin walked past Xiangzi and went straight to the cashier, quickly paying for Xiangzi's special-price bento.

Carrying a plastic bag containing a discounted bento, Rin quickly walked up to the dazed Toyokawa Shoko.

"Let's go? Even if Xiangzi continues to stay here, I don't have any spare money to buy you anything else." Lin then forcefully stuffed the bag into Xiangzi's hand.

"cold......"

Shoko Toyokawa stared at the white-haired man in front of her with a moved expression, but the next moment, she was forcefully dragged out of the convenience store by the white-haired man by her wrist.

When he arrived outside the convenience store, the cold evening breeze brushed across the back of his neck, briefly awakening Xiangzi's sanity.

"I can't have this."

"Huh? So you want me to quit?"

Qing Shui Lin glared at her and said unhappily, "If you don't want it, then just throw it away. I won't stop you. Just think of it as a waste of money."

"..."

Even Shoko Toyokawa, who pursues self-esteem extremely, has to passively accept the discounted bento bought by Rin.

She couldn't really throw the lunch away, could she?
