Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

However, Hua Lian knew and did not take it off.

It's just a disguise to appear normal in front of others.

That thing... Hua Lian stretched out her hand and seemed to hear the clinking of chains.

Ah, yes, no need to worry anymore...

Xiaoguang has already...

Really, no need to worry?

……

Chapter 27 Thank you and I'm sorry

Deep in the forest.

After hearing the report from Shizi No. 10084, Hua Lian immediately covered her eyes.

"Xiao Shizi... can you see her?" Hua Lian's voice was a little trembling, "Can you help me see... I don't dare to see. Ah, Xiao Guang has long black hair and wears a star-shaped hair ornament."

"Hmph~" a voice came from under the control panel in front of Hua Lian, "I can see it... Hey, who is it? It seems to be black-haired... Well, it seems not, right~"

"Please, Xiao Shizi, just tell me..." Hua Lian sounded like she was really about to cry.

"Okay, okay." No. 10084's voice finally became serious.

Hua Lian swallowed her saliva.

“…Yes, it is light.”

Hua Lian slowly put down her hand.

Across a distance of several kilometers, her eyes met Xiaoguang's.

Thank you, Xiaoguang.

Thank you for coming to me.

Hua Lian was wrapped in a quilt, squatting beside the sleeping Xiao Guang, watching him in fascination.

Sorry, I left without permission.

We got separated for no apparent reason and it must have been hard for you to find us all the way here, right?

I understand.

I waited. I waited for twelve years, and finally it happened.

I looked for it. After seven months of searching, I finally found it.

I understand that feeling, the anxiety, loneliness, and anger.

I will never leave Xiaoguang again.

Xiaoguang, please don’t leave me, okay?

Hua Lian quietly took out the collar from her bosom, which she had taken off Xiao Guang's neck before.

Carefully, he put it around his neck.

A little tight.

But it feels so reassuring.

Hua Lian gently fastened the chain around the collar and placed the other end of the chain in Xiao Guang's hand that was stretched out from under the quilt.

Unconsciously, I smiled with relief.

He just lay on the edge of Xiaoguang's bed and fell asleep.

Just as she always has.

After Hualian fell asleep, Xiaoguang slowly opened his eyes.

The hands felt cold as chains.

However, when he opened his hands, Xiaoguang found that he was holding the star hair accessory tightly.

And Hua Lian's crown hair accessory was shining beside her sleeping face.

In this deep night, Xiaoguang's eyes were stung.

The next day, nothing happened in the morning.

The airship stopped in the gap between the countless colors of space, and no one could find the giraffe. Perhaps only when needed, the bell from the stage would ring, bringing everyone to the stage, just like last time.

Hua Lian looked like she was still sleepy, even when she was stretching with Xiao Guang in the dance studio.

"Hua Lian, didn't you sleep well last night?" Xiao Guang looked into Hua Lian's eyes.

Last night, she secretly took Hua Lian back to her bed, took off her collar, and pretended nothing had happened.

Hua Lian should think of the memory before going to bed as a dream.

"Hua Lian~ is~ dozing off~ again~" Cloe sang as he walked by, "I feel like Hua Lian these past two days has become the same as she was a year ago. I miss her a little bit."

"Little Chloe, don't miss this kind of thing..." Mahiru, who was practicing with a dance stick next to her, put on a standard good look.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

"Hua Lian...a year ago?" Xiaoguang was a little curious.

Hua Lian blushed and broke free from Xiao Guang's arms: "No... don't ask that!"

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

"You'll never be able to get out of bed on your own," Nana naturally supported her body, "Mahiru-chan has to take care of everything, right? I know."

"banana..." Hua Lian's face turned even redder.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Xiaoguang seemed to be in a daze: "That kind of Hualian... is that so..."

"Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick."

"Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick."

"Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick."

"Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick."

Suddenly, the bell rang.

Everyone's expression changed.

"Now?" Nana walked over and picked up the phone from the chair, only to find that it was completely normal.

Mahiru listened carefully: "It doesn't seem to be coming from the phone, it's coming from outside the door..."

Xiaoguang walked to the door, opened it, and met Shizi's dead eyes.

"Finally the door is open..." Shizi kept tapping on the black and white keys in front of him, making the same ring tone as the giraffe, while complaining, "I knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't hear me..."

"I'm sorry." Xiaoguang's apology voice was as flat as a certain part of her body.

Shizi sighed without temper: "Ah... Anyway, come and eat. I'll be waiting for you."

"Eat?" Nana was a little confused and looked at the time. "Oh, it's this late. But why are you here? Isn't it usually the one who cooks who calls people? Isn't it Xiao Hongxia today?"

Shizi took back the keyboard in front of him and smiled crookedly: "Hehe, in order to cheer for your Audition, I also prepared some things..."

"lottery?"

Everyone stood in front of a pile of cold Western dishes and tilted their heads in confusion.

Hongxia stood beside Shizi and explained, "There is lunch for everyone here, but each one is different. You get whichever one you draw."

"From the outside, they are all really the same..." Sha Ling walked around and could not see any difference from the all-silver covers.

"I'm getting a little excited..." Kasumi rubbed her hands together, "Wow, wow, cool!"

"Are you a little kid..." Arisaki said, but his hands started to itch.

It just so happens that I don’t know what to eat recently.

Everyone picked a plate and sat down.

"Okay, who's going to start first?" Yusaki, who looked indifferent just now, now seems to be the most expectant.

"Me, me, me!" Kasumi and Karen raised their hands at the same time.

"I knew it was you guys..." Arisaki said with a "=w=" look on his face, "Then Kasumi, come first."

"Wait, let me use the Star Beat to listen first—" Kasumi said with a serious face, putting her right hand to her ear, "Hmm... what?"

Everyone tensed up: "What?"

"I don't know!" Kasumi shouted proudly.

"Why are you reacting like this when you didn't hear anything!" Arisaki's twin ponytails jumped up, "And why are you so nervous, Nijixia? Could it be that there are really dangerous things in these plates? I'm scared!"

"I was criticized..." Hong Xia pressed her chest sadly, "As a critic, I was criticized by a more powerful critic."

"This is the fate of the complainer." Shizi pressed Hongxia's shoulder and comforted her, "This is how numerical expansion works."

Kasumi put her hand on the lid: "I'm going to open it——"

The lid slowly rose up, and a golden light seemed to emerge from inside.

Maya's eyes widened: "The skilled chef in that coffee shop bakes the roll cake using exactly the same techniques as its origin in Germany—"

"What a long name!" Junna adjusted her glasses. "We know you like their cake rolls very much, but there's no need to give them such long names every time, right? Doesn't it have its own name? Compared to the last time, this time's name doesn't have 'Shizi Brand Youth Edition Replica', which is really a cause for celebration!"

"This is sent from reality, fresh and direct." Nana was a little proud, "bananice!"

Kasumi grabbed a piece without any grace and started chewing it. "Hmmmm... it's really delicious... wait! This taste..."

Kasumi stood up, with cream on the corner of her mouth, and announced loudly: "This is the cake roll from Tuzuki's house!"

"Ah?" Those present who knew Tsugumi Hanazawa shouted.

Hinata immediately flashed to Kasumi's side and grabbed a piece: "Let me try it...it's true. Sister, you try it too!"

Sayo took a sip and revealed a complex expression full of memories, nostalgia and bitterness.

Shizi's eyes lit up: "Isn't this a kind of glacier sandwich... But is there only one coffee shop in Japan?"

Apparently Yusaki thought so too.

"Next, it's me!" Karen stood up, "Stage girl, Aijo Karen, enter now!"

She opened the lid with such force that it shocked the world and made the ghosts weep.

ps: I just realized that if I just rely on the psychological description and memories of Guanglian, I can't write a few chapters at all... I can only rely on the daily water words

Chapter 28: Revue of Bondage

As soon as the lid was opened, before Hua Lian could see clearly, a shadow flashed past her and almost knocked over several plates. Hua Lian was so scared that she fell back and almost fell on the chair.

She quickly looked over and it was Rimi!

Rimi had a chocolate snail in her mouth and a few in her hands. She arched her back, opened her cat eyes, and flew away.

Hua Lian looked at her plate again.

Empty.

"What...what's going on?" Even she didn't react.

Sa Ling suddenly remembered: "Oh no, Rimi hasn't eaten chocolate snails for two days!"

"What?!" Those who were most familiar with Rimi screamed.

Duohui's face turned pale: "I'm afraid this is..."

"Because I haven't been getting enough chocolate snails for a long time..." Sha Ling hugged her body and trembled.

"I'm having withdrawal symptoms..." Kasumi didn't even feel like eating the cake roll.

"Are chocolate snails something that you absolutely cannot touch..." Arisaki leaned over the table, "Although it does look like something is mixed in. Sorry, Karen-san, you can have Satomi's portion, she won't mind."

After spending more time with Karen, Arisaki also changed her original way of addressing her from "Aishi-san" to "Karen-san".
