I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"I remember, what happened?"

Lixi was still reciting the lyrics she had written over and over again, and it was obvious that she was really panicked.

"Actually! I've always had a different understanding of it! I believe that in certain situations, if you meet the right person, you should spare no effort to encourage and help her."

"Because I fell in love with your lyrics at first sight, I will absolutely, absolutely assist you earnestly. I will be your minister, and you will be the scumbag I am loyal to!"

"So don't be nervous, and give it your all! Remember, in this duo, I'm the guitarist and backing vocalist, and you're the absolute lead vocalist! Get your spirits up!"

The white-haired girl habitually held the black-haired girl's chin. Qiansui was slightly taller than Lixi, so Lixi had to look up slightly to see the crimson eyes.

"You...Okay! I'll be serious!"

"Xiao Lixi, go quickly. Don't look back or at the audience. Everything is according to our plan and nothing will go wrong."

"..."

Shiina Riki said no more, she lifted the curtain and walked onto the stage.

[Will my sister be watching from the audience? ]

[Can I really write my own lyrics? ]

……

Is it really possible to write your own lyrics?

call--

Blink and close your eyes, and the show is over.

The audience's response was quite enthusiastic, but it was much stranger than Lixi had imagined.

Did her lyrics move you?

The people in the audience seemed very excited, and Li Xi was also very excited. He quickly turned around and looked at Chitose Noshiro who was breathing heavily.

Chitose must have been very tired from singing and dancing just now.

"Xiao Sui? We..."

We actually completed the show, using original music?

"The above is the performance of "Chitose XTaki" by Shiina Tatsuki from Class 2B and Noshiro Chitose from Class 2C. Next is the performance by the wind orchestra."

"Our performance just ended, let's see the audience's reaction, shall we?"

Chitose pulled Lixi from the backstage to the back of the audience. She felt that the performance just now was just average. Lixi's singing level was average and the lyrics were also average, but fortunately, she performed well and their arrangement was okay.

At least it's acceptable for a junior high school student, right?

"Don't worry, Lixi, I think at least——"

"Hey, the song just now was so nice, I heard it was an original song."

Chitose's words were interrupted by the conversation of the girls in the front row. Chitose probably knew what the audience's reaction would be.

Next, let Lixi listen carefully!

Noshiro Chitose sighed, took a step back silently, and looked at her watch:

A quarter past one, five minutes at most.

She bet that Lixi would run towards the gate now.

Chitose looked at this school that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her, and the first person that came to her mind was not Takamatsu Tomo but Toyokawa Shoko.

Hmm... I didn't expect that Shiina Riki also knew Toyokawa Shoko. Chitose still remembers their meeting at the school gate that day.

What kind of connection is there between Takamatsu Deng, Toyokawa Shoko, and Shiina Tatsuki? It really makes people curious.

Maybe I can find an opportunity to investigate.

Lixi didn't notice that her companion was staring at the back door in a daze. She pretended to be indifferent and approached the female students in the front row.

I hope...at least to be praised!

"Is it Shiina-san's turn to perform next?! That's awesome! I came to the music festival just to see Shiina-san from the high school department!"

Li Xi's excitement was instantly extinguished.

"Yeah, yeah, Captain Shiina has led the wind band through so many challenges. I wonder what they'll perform today!"

Li Xi took a step back, no longer holding out hope for these things.

"Haha, the one who just performed seems to be Shiina's sister. As expected, she is Shiina's sister. Although the lyrics of that song are average, I have to say that the composition is very good. She is really young and promising."

"..."

The purple pupils shrank again and again, and Li Xi began to doubt his life.

Is this what everyone thinks of her performance?

To sum it up in one sentence:

As Shiina Maki's younger sister, she is already pretty good?

"No, I didn't work hard for this kind of evaluation. If in the end I only get something like this... I..."

She turned and ran towards the back door.

Big failure, big failure, big failure!

I still can’t do it!

Chitose waited for several seconds until Riki ran away before walking out the back door.

She tilted her head and checked the time again.

"Yeah, not even a second off, little Lixi is really something."

It’s easy to guess.

But like Takamatsu Deng, Riki also likes to run around.

Chitose Noshiro took one last look back at Maki Shiina on the stage, closed the door, and chased after her.

Ch50. Break and rebuild! Shiina Riki!

really.

The work I created after just over ten days of hard work is completely incomparable to my sister's...

My sister didn't even need to play, she just needed to stand on the stage... No, she had already failed miserably before she even got on stage.

There is no effective resistance at all, even with Qiansui's help... I...

Shiina Riki escaped from the concert hall and ran along the path in the corridors of the teaching area and the gravel road outside the atrium.

The work she produced was indeed an unsatisfactory failure...

Haha… After all, after all, it only took a few days of preparation before I went on stage. At least the audience recognized it, right?

At least I am still a qualified sister of Shiina Maki... I...

"call--"

"call--"

Panting and leaning against the ornamental tree in the courtyard, Li Xi tried to use various reasons to comfort himself for the stage effect which was considered a success but also a big failure.

"I wrote the lyrics myself..."

Although the lyrics of that song are average, I have to say the composition is excellent. This young artist is truly promising.

The female classmate's words still haunt Li Xi like a ghost.

The lyrics I wrote myself seem terrible too, right?

If it weren't for Chitose's guitar skills and arranging talents, this performance probably wouldn't have received even moderate praise.

"I really shouldn't have agreed to Chitose. After I quit the brass band, I shouldn't have..."

I shouldn't have agreed to go to the music festival with Chitose.

Li Xi couldn't say this.

She would have absolutely nothing to lose if she didn't attend the festival.

However, if she doesn't participate in the music festival, she won't fail but she will still accomplish nothing.

"Ultimately, I still need to practice more and create more! Xiaosui already said the lyrics weren't up to par! But I can't come up with anything better, so I can only make do with the previous version..."

"If I could write better lyrics! I could definitely surpass my sister! What's missing in my lyrics...?"

"Isn't it missing a touch of fantasy?"

Just like when we first met.

A clear and lazy girl's voice sounded from behind, but this time Li Xi was not scared.

"Xiao Sui? I..."

"Stupid Li Xi, you're such a fool! Why are you running so fast? You even fell down when I was trying to catch up with you!"

Chitose pointed at her torn socks to show the wound she had sustained from the fall.

The wound was bleeding and it hurt a lot.

But Chitose did this on purpose.

"I'm so sorry! I...I just felt a little lost, so I ran out to get some fresh air."

Li Xi bent down and was about to reach out to check Qiansui's wound when the other party grabbed his wrist.

"My injury isn't important," Chitose said, the laziness in his tone seemed natural, but Lixi could still hear the surprise in it. "I'm concerned about you. Are you feeling better?"

"Maybe… I don't know."

"Why are you so depressed? We won a big victory! Although I'm very dissatisfied with your lyrics."

really…

Lixi pursed her lips, she knew her lyrics were terrible.

"Don't look so pitiful, Xiao Lixi. Even though it's just ordinary, I still like your lyrics. They're excellent, but they can be even better."

Are you trying to tease me? Li Xi thought.

"Yeah, yeah... maybe I can write something better? Next time I..."

"Lixi, remember this, people like us don't say 'what will I do next time'. When we say this, it means we have enough confidence and determination. But do you have it, Lixi?"

Anyone could hear that Chitose's tone was no longer free and casual, and Shiina Riki's purple eyes met those red eyes.

Qiansui's eyes were so hot that they seemed to melt her.

"Xiao Sui, what's the point of effort without results?"

"Yes, of course not. As long as you work hard, your traces will be forever engraved in my mind. I will shed tears for you and be moved by you for the rest of my life. Everything about Li Xi makes Qiansui feel interesting and likes her. I like Li Xi the most! So please be more confident!"

The last few words were almost shouted, and even Qiansui was surprised.

This wasn't part of her plan! But seeing the cute Li Xi trying so hard to stay strong...

No, no, Nodaichi Chitose, remember your mission!

Shiina Riki is right in front of you, and she is trying her best to make herself look more respectable, but you pulled her onto the stage and deliberately arranged the performance before her sister... These little actions have mercilessly torn off the fig leaf of her remaining self-esteem.

Right now! She's standing right in front of you!

Say something that will allow you to get deeper into her heart...

"Puchi, I..." Qiansui burst into laughter, looking at the cute beauty with tear mole who was a little shocked, and suppressed the bitterness surging in his heart.

"I thought you, an idiot, would cry. Humph, I didn't expect you to cheer yourself up!"

"What do you take me for? I'm very strong..."

She couldn't say such words so freely to anyone else. Shiina Riki found that only when facing Chitoshi Noshiro could she express such awkward feelings so naturally.

Because she knew that Chitose would never laugh at or tease her when she confided in her.

She will reply and comfort you seriously.

"Okay, I know Xiao Lixi is the best. Hehe, do you want to go listen to your sister's performance?"
