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

"Good morning……"

Shizi waved back, "Good morning. Just like yesterday, everything is ready at the bar, let's go."

In the bar, breakfast was originally placed on the bar for people to serve, and the two round tables that were originally used as dining tables were placed with a temporarily moved oven and various kitchen utensils and raw materials, which looked a bit messy.

Hong Xia had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing the three people coming over, she waved and said, "After all, it would be too much to make one for everyone. After we discussed it, we decided that everyone can just make one for their own band members."

"I wanted to make one for everyone," said Shizi.

"Me too!" Kasumi popped out from nowhere.

"Then you guys should hurry up." Sa Ling brought over a few aprons. "By the way, how's Liang?"

"She is only responsible for eating." Hong Xia said with a "=w=" expression, "I will help her with her other things."

Although there seemed to be some complaints in her tone, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Seeing this, Sha Ling just smiled lightly, put down her apron, and stood by the table: "Do you want to have breakfast first? Or do you want to watch me make it first?"

Shizi took a look at the breakfast, which was low-sugar oatmeal, vegetable sandwiches and the like.

She took a sandwich and said, "Eat while you watch."

Others also took their breakfast and gathered around.

"Okay." Sa Ling laid out the ingredients, "First..."

The steps are not complicated. Shizi remembered them after reading them once, but he still needs to try them himself to get the specific details and feelings.

Sure enough, I encountered problems as soon as I started.

"How much stirring is better?" Shizi asked Shaling while stirring the cocoa liquid.

Sa Ling came over to see: "Hmm... a little more even... Oops."

The electric mixer started to swirl, and the cocoa splashed all over their faces.

"Sorry." Shizi quickly apologized and lowered the speed a bit.

Sa Ling scraped the cocoa liquid off her face and tasted it: "It's okay... it's almost done."

Shizi quickly stopped the machine.

At this time, another voice came from the side: "Shizi, there is still some on your face."

Before Shizi could react, she smelled Ichiri's scent, as well as the soft touch and wetness on her cheek.

She turned her head and saw Yili hiding behind Hongxia with a red face.

She was used to it in private, but she couldn't get used to doing it in public.

Shizi gently touched the marks on his face, and his face began to feel hot.

In fact, she is not very used to it.

"...Can we continue?" Sha Ling had an expression that said "Isn't this great?"

On the other side, CHU? was taught almost step by step by MASKING.

"Why do I have to do it myself?" Chu complained as he stirred the chocolate. "Wasn't there a finished chocolate in the package? Can't I just exchange it with that?"

"Wouldn't that mean it would be the chocolate that Xianjuanxin gave us?" MASKING supervised with his back hunched over. "Besides, it would be hard to get inspiration if we stay in the room composing all the time, right? Ah, this one is for Ruiyi, she wants..."

"Add more honey, right?" Chu interrupted her, blushing a little, and replied in a low voice, "I know."

Futaba and Kaori looked at Nana's operation curiously: "What will the banana chocolate taste like?"

Nana thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... banana flavor?"

The movements of Maya and Crow seemed to carry an aristocratic aura.

"That's right. You have to be very careful," Maya added honey gracefully, "You have to treat her with the same tenderness as you would treat a young girl..."

"When have you ever been gentle to a girl?" asked Clore dissatisfiedly.

"Je le ferai, ma Claudine." (I will, my Claudine.)

Junna glanced over there and complained quietly: "How much of the chocolate we make is real chocolate... No, shouldn't we ask how much is giri chocolate? What kind of team are we?"

Mahiru stopped humming, but her hands didn't stop: "It must be a lot of giri, after all, there are only a few couples who need to send their natal stars."

"It's not good when this question is answered seriously...but it's true." Junna sighed.

She glanced at the pile of ingredients: "But...regardless of that, why are there potatoes among the ingredients?"

"Because you need to put French fries in the chocolate." Hinata answered from a distance.

"what?"

The Japanese dish skillfully cuts the potatoes into strips and coats them with cocoa liquid.

"How horrible is this obsession with French fries..." Junna looked to Hina's side and saw Sayo eating French fries with chocolate sauce.

After a while, everyone had almost finished making the chocolates, only Kasumi and Shiko were still working hard.

They had said before that they would make chocolate for everyone, so the progress would naturally be slower.

"So... much..." Kasumi said with a bitter face, repeating the movements that had become somewhat numb, "If I had known earlier, I would have done less..."

Despite saying this, she kept moving.

“Hehe…” Shizi was in a strange state because he had a lot of experience with repetitive work because of a certain idol music game. “Can’t you just copy and paste after you finish one…”

"Is your heart also copy and pasted?" Kita watched from the side with her arms crossed.

"My heart is also copied and pasted... ah, well said." Shizi wiped his bangs with a dreamy expression, "I love everyone equally..."

"Jesus Christ." Xiduo's mouth twitched and he stepped forward, "Let me help you, our Miss Messiah."

"Then... let me help Kasumi too." Seeing this, Arisaki also picked up the raw materials and helped Kasumi add them.

"Who is this for? What should it be added to?" Yusaki asked.

Kasumi looked over curiously, "But this is for Arisaki."

"Eh." Yusaki felt more uneasy than frightened, "My share is being done so late?"

"Because I did it in order of birthdays," Kasumi said.

"You really remember everyone's birthday..." Yusaki was a little surprised, "How did you do that?"

“Eh, does that mean it’s my turn next?” Shizi rolled his eyes, “Then there’s Huihui on December 12th and CHU on December 4th? That’s it, you’re pretty fast.”

"Did you remember it too?!" Yusaki tried hard to recall, "When did I tell you my birthday..."

With everyone's help, Kasumi and Shiko completed their work quickly.

"Are you all ready?"

Hongxia stood in the host's position and saw that everyone had handmade chocolates in cloth bags in front of them. Most people had a few, but Shiko and Kasumi had a huge pile in front of them.

Ichiri looked at the five bags in front of him.

This was her first time making chocolate and also her first time making chocolate for others.

"Come on, get ready, start together, exchange!"

She confirmed it again and again.

The brown bag is a return gift for Kasumi, the blue bag is for Ryo, the yellow bag is for Kohongka, the red bag is for Kita, and the gray bag is for Shiko.

We tried our best to adjust the tastes based on what we knew about everyone, and the last two bags of chocolate were specially made into heart shapes.

"Three, two, one!"

The scene suddenly became noisy.

Chapter 60: In a Place I Don't Know

At night, under the warm orange light, Yili took out a few bags of chocolates he had gotten during the day.

Five bags in total.

Not only did her bandmates send her chocolates, they even sent her daily meals.

"I did it because Ichiri was fun. What's the problem?" Hina said this at the time, facing Ichiri's astonishment.

"But, but I didn't prepare anything for Hina-san..." Ichiri couldn't accept or refuse. Facing a Yang corner like Hina alone was still too much for her.

Fortunately, even if Shizi found out, he came to help: "Just accept it. No one stipulates that Valentine's Day chocolates must be exchanged for equal value. At most, I can give Ricai an extra portion--"

As she spoke, she wiped the bag that was originally prepared for Hina, and the bag was duplicated into two.

"Can it still be like this?" Yili felt a little uneasy.

"Is there any difference between what I deliver and what Yili delivers?" Shizi smiled and handed the two bags to Ricai, "Here, I added fries."

"Thank you, this is for Xiao Shizi." Hina really didn't care, she put the bag in her hand into Ichiri's hand, and then took two bags from Shizi. Then, she took out another bag: "This is for Xiao Shizi."

"Me too? Thank you." Shizi was about to take it, but Hina's hand pulled back.

"Guess what," Hina said with a smirk, "Is this giri or destiny?"

Is it justice or destiny?

Sitting under the dim light, Yili stared blankly at the unopened bag of chocolate in front of him.

Shizi, the relationship with Hinata-san is already unusual.

Somewhere she didn't know.

when?

Also, is there really only one Japanese classmate?

In the past, Shiko had made many "confessions" to other people, including Yukina-san and Rinko-chan. She was also very close to Pareo-san and Nana-san...

Maybe she was just overthinking it, after all, those people obviously had their own destined ones.

But once suspicion takes root, it is hard to ignore.

Even if they were just ordinary friends, but... from a very early stage on, Shizi no longer belonged to me alone.

At this moment, a familiar warmth embraced me from behind.

"Shizi." Yili grabbed Shizi's hand.

Fortunately, just like always, before I get scared, before I lose control of myself, Shizi will come and comfort me.

Yili followed his instinct, turned his face sideways, and got closer and closer to Shizi.

Yili didn't wipe the corners of his mouth: "Chocolate flavor."

"It's not good to eat sweets at night." Shizi replied, "But everyone gave too many, it would be a waste if we didn't eat them."

"Well, Shizi got a lot of chocolates..." Yili licked his lips, as if savoring the taste, "How many of them are for my destiny?"

"..." Shizi didn't know how to answer, "So you really care about it? About Japanese food."

"Ah."

"To be honest, I don't know what the relationship between her and I is." Shizi hugged tighter, "I was originally her fan, you know, and then she confessed to me... But I haven't done anything to let Ichiri and Kita down, I promise."

"But what does Shizi think? In his heart, does Shizi have that kind of feeling towards her?" Yili continued to ask.

"……some."

"...Shizi, do you still love me?"

"Yes. No matter what, I will love Goto Ichiri. Even if you don't need me one day, I will still love you unchanged."

"I can't..." Yili turned around in a hurry and faced Shizi.

Shizi held her down: "I know."

However, Ichiri pinned her down onto the sheets.

Yili's hair fell on Shizi's face, feeling a little itchy.

Shizi saw that Yili's expression was half crying and half laughing: "Shizi... Shizi is too popular, so cunning..."

"I'm sorry." That was all Shizi could say.

However, Yili took a deep breath and did not continue.

She lay on Shizi, feeling the warmth from him: "I... am also slowly learning to accept it. Everyone is so kirakira, it's normal for Shizi to like them... But as long as Shizi is still by my side, I will be satisfied."
