In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Shirakawa had already figured out how to handle the situation, but when he saw something struggling in Takamatsu Akari's eyes, as if she wanted to break through some kind of constraint, he chose to remain standing there.

"I……"

Gao Songdeng managed to utter a single syllable, tears welling up in his eyes once more.

She stood up, her gaze shifting between Shiina Tatsuki and Shirakawa Sawa, before finally deciding to express her true feelings.

"I don't want misunderstandings to affect our relationship!"

"Both of you are people I value, and I feel really happy when I'm with you."

"After listening to Zejun's words today, I think I understand a little more about what friendship is."

"Therefore, I don't want to lose any of my friends, and I don't want my friendships to be damaged because of things that could have been avoided."

She looked up at Shiina Tatsuki.

"Lixi, can you understand how I feel?"

Shiina Tatsuki nodded seriously; she naturally understood what the other person meant.

She felt the force that had been holding her back had been shattered.

After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at Shirakawa Ze and bowed deeply to him.

"I'm sorry, Shirakawa-kun, I sincerely apologize to you."

"I was too impulsive just now. I made a judgment in my mind without understanding the situation."

"I hope you can forgive me."

Shirakawa Sawa remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Takamatsu Akari, before looking at Shiina Tatsuki.

“I used to consider you a friend, but now I feel very angry.”

"But I don't want to upset you too much, otherwise I would have already seen you out."

"Let's put this matter aside for now and deal with it after we've calmed down a bit."

"We're here today to sample the dishes and discuss the menu and pricing."

"As the person in charge of our class activities, I still hope you can stay and help us."

"If you'd like, I hope we can work together successfully."

After he finished speaking, he extended his hand to the other person.

Shiina Riki looked up at the boy, her eyes slightly moist.

The other party's reaction was indeed unexpected; she had even prepared herself for the other party to scold her.

Although the other party did not directly say that they would forgive her, the attitude they conveyed was not resolute, but rather they were sending her a signal that it was possible to salvage the relationship.

She was touched and grateful, and decided to do her best to help the other person complete the school festival activities first, and then look for an opportunity to be forgiven.

Having made up her mind, she grasped the boy's hand, even tightening her grip a bit.

"I'm willing to stay! I will do my best!"

Shirakawa nodded, glanced at the time; it was already time to let out of school. He then clapped his hands.

"Let's compose ourselves, the students will be here soon."

Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki exchanged a glance and nodded.

There are four students in the catering team responsible for cooking: two for snacks and two for main dishes.

After the four arrived, the group began to prepare ingredients, cook, taste the dishes, discuss the menu, and set prices.

Shirakawa Ze also took photos of each dish as it was finished, intending to include them in the report and menu.

After finalizing the arrangements, the group cleaned the room, and then the four students from the catering team left first.

Shirakawa took out his notebook, turned to the page listing the various tasks for the preparation phase, and checked off the completed items.

"Next comes the renovation."

He thought for a moment, then looked at Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki.

"Tokyo-chan, Shiina-kun, how about we find a coffee shop for dinner and take a look at the interior design to get some inspiration?"

The two of them naturally had no objections.

The three then went to Yuzawa Coffee Shop.

The reason for choosing this coffee shop is that students like to come here (and it is also one of the few coffee shops that Qianjin Xiaoxiang can afford after she became customer service Xiaoxiang). Shirakawa felt that it would be safer to use a style that everyone is familiar with.

As they walked, Takamatsu Akari looked at Shiina Tatsuki with some curiosity.

"Lixi, why do you seem a little nervous?"

Shiina Tatsuki stammered,

"Because... that shop belongs to a senior colleague's family..."

A look of confusion appeared in Takamatsu's eyes.

"Does Lixi have some kind of grudge against that senior? You seem nervous and uneasy right now."

Shiina Tatsuki immediately waved his hand.

"No no!"

"Anyway, don't worry about me, let's go on ahead..."

Volume 1: Chapter 43 Su Shi's words were too outrageous.

The three entered Yuze Coffee Shop and saw an unfamiliar adult female employee standing behind the counter.

After seeing what the shop assistant looked like, Shiina Tatsuki relaxed a little, but at the same time felt a little disappointed.

After finding a seat, the three of them started ordering.

Because they had eaten some food during the tasting, they weren't very hungry, and only ordered some snacks in addition to drinks.

As Shirakawa sipped his coffee, he looked around at the shop's decor while simultaneously brainstorming ideas.

Suddenly, he noticed a change in Takamatsu's expression; his eyes were fixed on the doorway, as if he had seen something extremely unexpected.

He followed the gaze and saw Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsumi walking side by side, seemingly preparing to have a drink at this coffee shop.

Shiina Tatsuki also noticed Takamatsu Akari's gaze. After turning her head and seeing her two former teammates, she frowned, then looked away and turned her head back.

When Toyokawa Shoko entered the coffee shop, she immediately noticed Shirakawa Sawa and his two companions. Seeing Takamatsu Akari staring at her and already standing up, she paused, turned around, and quickly left.

Ruoye Mutsu glanced in the direction of her gaze, then followed her.

Gao Songdeng quickly chased after them, shouting "Xiangzi!" as the two figures receded into the distance. However, he was not good at running and could not run after a while.

After confirming that Takamatsu Akira hadn't caught up, Toyokawa Shoko slowed down and headed towards the tram station.

Seeing the direction she was heading, Ruoye Mutsu knew she was about to take the tram, and slowly spoke.

Su Shi said she didn't know you were in Xiuhua.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded without saying anything.

Actually, she had guessed it that night, after all, the expression and look in the other person's eyes when they saw her showed how surprised they were.

If Ye Mu continues to speak...

She said that you haven't replied to her messages in a long time.

"She wants to see you."

Toyokawa Shoko stopped and turned to look at the girl beside her.

"If you came to see me today for this matter, please tell her not to come to me again, and I don't want to see her either."

"Can we all respect each other's lives?"

After saying that, she turned and continued walking towards the tram station.

Ruoye Mu watched her retreating figure, standing still without moving.

After a while, she turned and walked towards Yuzawa Coffee Shop.

Shirakawa and the other two were still inside, but Takamatsu Akari, who had been in a good mood, had lost interest and was looking down at the coffee in her cup.

When Ruoye Mu walked up to the three, his gaze did not linger on his two old teammates, but instead settled on Shirakawa Sawa.

She remembered what Nagasaki Motoyo had told her last week, and knew that the boy in front of her must be the key bridge.

Thinking of Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been silent and deep in thought these past few days, she looked at the boy and slowly spoke.

"Su Shi needs you."

These words caused a change in the expressions of Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki, who were standing nearby. They looked at Shirakawa Sawa with curiosity and a hint of unease, wondering what he meant.

Feeling pressured by being watched by three people, Shirakawa Ze broke out in a light sweat.

He didn't know why Mutouren suddenly blurted out such a sentence. Logically speaking, he had already talked to Nagasaki Motoyo, and she should be thinking about various issues now. He didn't need to do anything else and could just wait for her to figure things out.

Seeing that Shirakawa Sawa seemed not to understand, Ruoye Mutsu spoke again.

"Su Shi said, you are very strong and solid, able to connect with them..."

This statement left Bai Chuanze speechless. Could Su Shi really say something so explicit? He quickly raised his hand to signal her to stop talking.

"Hey, we don't think we've met before, have we?"

"I roughly know who you mean by Su Shi, but could you please be more specific?"

What you're saying right now could easily cause a misunderstanding.

"I don't think it's appropriate to say such things in front of my friends."

Seeing Shirakawa's response, Takamatsu Akari felt slightly relieved and shifted her gaze to Wakaba Mutsumi.
