Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 230: Not just Xiangzi and the lamp, but also Su Shi…

"What about Xiangzi and Deng? What do you plan to do with them?"

Although still immersed in the beautiful and warm embrace of the person she likes, Chihaya Aine has not yet been overwhelmed by happiness.

She mainly remembered that before Bai Qiu confessed, he also mentioned that he liked Xiangzi and Deng...

So what should we do?

Did Bai Qiu give up two other people for her?

But Aine had a feeling that it wasn't like that.

She seems... to not want this either.

Upon hearing Aine ask this crucial question, Bai Qiu slowed down his hand as he smoothed Aine's messy hair, and then stopped.

Fortunately, Bai Qiu was mentally prepared for this, and even if Ai Yin didn't ask, he would explain it to her later.

This was something he had already decided before he came to Aine's house and before he said those words to Aine.

Under Ai Yin's somewhat nervous gaze, Bai Qiu spoke up: "Ai Yin, before that, there's something else I need to tell you."

Chihaya Aine blinked in confusion: "What is it?"

"Actually, Su Shi confessed to me before you."

Bai Qiu delivered this information in a calm tone, but it was like a thunderbolt to Aine.

"what--"

As soon as Bai Qiu finished speaking, Ai Yin sat up straight on the ground, her mouth wide open, revealing two small tiger teeth, and looked up at Bai Qiu with wide eyes in surprise.

"So... Soyorin confessed to you too?"

Bai Qiu nodded: "Mm."

Before making the next declaration, this is something I must tell Aine in advance.

Her heart leaped into her throat. The joy she had felt while confessing her love to Bai Qiu faded, and Ai Yin quickly asked, "So, did you say yes?"

"No."

Bai Qiu shook her head slightly, a sense of apology rising in her heart towards Su Shi.

Then he briefly explained to Aine the circumstances under which he had rejected Sue, which were similar to his rejection of Aine a few days earlier.

As for why I told Aine this?

That's because since Bai Qiu has decided to face all his inner emotions, he naturally has to face his feelings for Su Shi as well.

Bai Qiu kept questioning himself: what exactly did he think of Su Shi?

The answer is the same as with Aine: it's about caring and liking...

Recalling the day Su Shi confessed to him, it was indeed very sudden for Bai Qiu. Perhaps at that time, he did not have the idea of ​​dating Su Shi.

He rejected Su Shi because of the presence of Deng and Xiangzi, and afterwards, he chose to suppress his feelings for Su Shi.

Su Shi continued to treat him as a good friend and expressed that she would not give up...

Bai Qiu saw and remembered everything Su Shi, such a gentle and virtuous girl, did for him, which made his heart flutter time and time again.

Ai Yin was unaware of Su Shi's situation, so Bai Qiu decided to explain everything to Ai Yin in one go, rather than keeping it from her, to avoid causing future troubles or even creating problems.

Honesty is the most important thing between couples.

Only by being honest and open with each other can we go further, last longer, and even for a lifetime.

After hearing Bai Qiu's explanation, although she felt a little sorry for Soyorin, Chihaya Aine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Soyo.

It's a real shame... it turns out she wasn't the first to confess to Bai Qiu... she always thought she was the first.

Soyorin is despicable.

Thankfully, Bai Qiu's first response was to her, which made Ai Yin very fortunate.

As for the information that Su Shi also liked Bai Qiu, Aine wasn't too surprised.

She had noticed something was amiss before, and there was also the late-night chat with Su Shi at Bai Qiu's house that night, where both sides were practically open about their intentions; now it was just a matter of time before it became a reality.

In other words, besides Xiangzi and Deng, there is also Su Shi!

No, she has way too many competitors.

“Aine.”

At this moment, Bai Qiu gently called out to Ai Yin, her expression more serious than ever before, with a hint of nervousness and trepidation.

Ai Yin's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Bai Qiu as if her heart had stopped.

Bai Qiu, going all out, said:

“My feelings for you are absolutely real, but I also care about Deng, Su Shi, and Xiang Zi. I don’t want to let any of you down. I know my thoughts might be excessive, but I want to be with everyone.”

"Eh?"

Upon receiving this astonishing, unprecedented information, Chihaya Aine's vision went white, and she was somewhat dazed.

As her brain gradually processed the situation, Ai Yin's cheeks flushed red with shame and indignation, her eyes fixed intently on Bai Qiu, as if fire were flickering within them.

Now she finally had the right to be angry.

However, perhaps because I was somewhat prepared, the anger I had imagined wasn't as intense.

However, feelings of surprise, anger, and grievance still exist.

"This is simply impossible."

Chihaya Aine said somewhat angrily.

This is too ridiculous!

This is about feelings between a man and a woman, not about forming a band or everyone being together.

“Aiyin, I know this is hard to accept,” Bai Qiu explained, “but I will find a way to get everyone to agree.”

"What if I disagree?" Ai Yin asked back, turning her head away.

"Didn't Aine just promise to entrust her whole life to me?"

Bai Qiu took the girl's slender wrist and whispered, "The gift Ai Yin prepared that day—two watches, one black and one white—shimmered under the pale yellow light."

The reason he dared to come to Ai Yin and confess everything today was partly because he noticed that Ai Yin was still wearing this watch.

"I......"

Ai Yin pursed her lips and lowered her gaze slightly.

At this moment, she also saw the couple's watch that she had carefully prepared, which Bai Qiu was wearing on her wrist, and her heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"..."

Chihaya Aine's lips parted slightly, her gaze fixed intently on Shiraaki's face.

"No matter what difficulties I face, I will overcome them and make everyone happy." Bai Qiu placed her hands on Ai Yin's petite shoulders and said firmly, "Ai Yin, are you willing to believe me?"

Chihaya Aine's pupils trembled, and she finally spoke:

"He's a womanizer, a womanizer, a womanizer, a womanizer...!"

As she was speaking, Ai Yin suddenly leaned forward and gripped Bai Qiu tightly with her ten fingers.

Not only that, Chihaya Aine then used her sharp little fangs to bite down hard on Shiraaki's arm through his clothes.

"You bad guy, you pervert, waah...you heartless bastard..."

"Sigh, why can't you only have me in your heart..."

A sharp pain shot through his shoulder. Bai Qiu could tell that Ai Yin had used some force, but he was afraid that she might have actually bitten him.

However, if this allows Ai Yin to vent her dissatisfaction and anger, Bai Qiu feels it's worth it, after all, it was he who made this choice and said these words.

His hand moved to Aine's back and gently stroked it.

...Chihaya Aine's thoughts were a jumbled mess. Although she was venting her emotions on Shiraaki, she was still quite rational, constantly thinking about what to do.

It's clear that Bai Qiu likes her, and the two have confessed their feelings to each other. Should she back down now and hand Bai Qiu over to someone else?

No!

Not reconciled!

Nor willing.

She doesn't want to quit.

These past two days, she's been trying to treat Bai Qiu like an ordinary classmate, unable to act coquettishly or talk to him like before...

She was also suffering and in great pain.

Many times, Aine herself was about to lose her temper.

I never want to experience that kind of emotion again.

Whenever she was alone, Bai Qiu was all she could think about.

Why don't you just agree to his request?

With this thought in mind, Ai Yin felt that even if she nodded in agreement, it would be useless, and Bai Qiu would not succeed.

Why did I fall for someone like this?

Aside from being a womanizer, Bai Qiu doesn't seem to have any other flaws.

Seeing that Ai Yin seemed to have calmed down and stopped putting pressure on her body, Bai Qiu looked down at her and tentatively asked, "Ai Yin, does this mean you agree?"

"...It's not that easy for me to agree."

Ai Yin bumped her forehead against Bai Qiu's chest in dissatisfaction.

After a moment's hesitation, Ai Yin steeled herself, closed her eyes, and said in an unreasonable, awkward tone:

"I don't care anymore. Anyway, you said you would be responsible for my whole life, so you can't abandon me!"

For Aine to say this in such a short time was almost tantamount to tacit approval or agreement.

Bai Qiu could naturally understand the subtext in Ai Yin's words. Overjoyed, he hugged Ai Yin tightly with some excitement.

"Thank you, Aine."

"Hmph, even if I agree, Su Shi and the others won't agree so easily."

Chihaya Aine snorted in dissatisfaction, still somewhat stubborn, but she had no intention of leaving Shiraaki's embrace.

Yes, thinking about it that way, a glint flashed in Chihaya Aine's gray eyes, as if a new hope had been ignited.

What normal person would willingly share half of their boyfriend with someone else?

No, not at all!

Not to mention their situation, they wouldn't even get half.

But now she's agreed, not only is she the first to agree, but she's also the first to be with Bai Qiu, which means she's the most important one?!

If in the end they all disagree, won't Bai Qiu only have herself by her side? Then Bai Qiu will still be all alone.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine seemed to have discovered a new continent, and her gray eyes lit up slightly.

She decided to stop worrying about it so much. Everyone is still young, and there's a long road ahead. Who knows what changes might happen in the future?

Thinking too much now will only add to your troubles.

All she knew was that she wanted to be with Bai Qiu and never be apart.

"Ok, I know."

Bai Qiu's back relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected to achieve this in one step; such things don't happen overnight, and Bai Qiu was prepared to prolong the process.

The results achieved so far have far exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, being able to come out about this matter made him feel instantly relieved, both physically and mentally.

"...Hmph, you're still laughing."

Seeing the smile on Bai Qiu's face, Ai Yin wondered if she was too easy to please, so she pinched the soft flesh on Bai Qiu's waist with great dissatisfaction.

"So you want to have women on both sides, huh?"

"No, I only smiled because Aine is so understanding." Bai Qiu stroked Aine's pink hair again and explained.

"Hmph, hmph! Good thing you know."

After a moment, Aine asked with concern, "So... Qiuqiu, when do you plan to talk to Deng and the others about this?"

"Um……"

Bai Qiu pondered for a moment, analyzed the situation briefly, and decided to first find out if Deng's feelings for her were romantic.

So he first explained the situation with Aine about the lamp.

Ai Yin nodded silently.

"Don't worry, Aiyin, I'll find a chance to ask Deng tomorrow." Looking down at Aiyin, Bai Qiu clenched his fist and promised, "Then Su Shi, and Xiangzi."
