I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

After the prelude, Lixi began to sing skillfully.

"ねぇ、どっかに屋いてきたような,"

(As if it was placed there in advance,)

"事が一つ二つ流いているけど,"

(Cherished memories gradually emerge,)

"ねぇ、ちゃんとpickupっておこう,"

(Pick it up carefully.)

The girls were looking at each other.

Li Xi knew that the most important thing a singer should pay attention to is to always pay attention to the audience and to dedicate his gaze to everyone.

But Li Xi couldn't do it.

She was thinking about Chitose all the time.

"はじけてforgetれてしまう前に,"

(Before they are broken and forgotten,)

"Back to the future of the future,"

(She and my future are spinning gracefully,)

Slender fingers played the bass rhythmically, red eyes met purple eyes, Chitose and Lixi felt the special emotions mixed in the singing and music.

The audience was silent. Everyone wanted to cheer and scream, but in order to enjoy the best performance, everyone chose to remain silent.

"stop まりどっかでまたやりstraight せたら,"

(If I could stop and start again somewhere,)

"Back to the victim of the したあの子とServant,"

(She and I, spinning gracefully, are both victims,)

Is this the song you wanted to hear, Chitose Noshiro?

Li Xi has been unable to look away since he met the eyes of the thousand-year-old man.

What she saw was Chitose, but not just Chitose.

The girl in front of her has been helping her since they met a few months ago.

She was still mumbling something...

【I fell in love with you at first sight.】

What an embarrassing thing to say. Is this really something a girl can say to another girl?

"づらでどっかをまた practicing り歩けたらな,"

(Slowly moving forward again somewhere like this,)

"とぅるるるとぅるるるとぅるる,"

(Durrulurrulurrulurrulu.)

The singing and performance are slightly melancholic, just like the feeling of two young people who are recklessly yet passionately in love with each other, but end up in the same place.

But this is what Chitose Noshiro wanted to express.

In the intervals between playing, her lips trembled and moved a few times.

She didn't know if Shiina Riki could clearly see what she wanted to say.

But that doesn't matter.

【Shiina Tatsuki, I wish you happiness. 】

But unfortunately, all this is fake. Simulation is just simulation. Alas, simulation is just simulation.

Seeing Chitose being the first to look away and accept the audience's admiration, Lixi also looked at the audience.

Nearby are her parents, teachers, and classmates.

There was pride and excitement on their faces, and they were all happy for Li Xi's outstanding performance.

But where's my sister? Ah, she's probably backstage preparing. It's normal that she doesn't have time to watch my performance.

The corners of Lixi's mouth trembled, and she felt that she was not that disappointed.

But when she continued to look back and saw her sister waving at her at the back door, clapping her hands like trumpets to cheer her on, the last trace of melancholy in her heart completely disappeared.

My own performance! I was truly recognized by my sisters and everyone else! Not just verbal praise! But also the look in their eyes… that look is unmistakable!

It worked, it really worked!

The performance was very good, and some little girls in the audience who had poor psychological endurance were already crying quietly.

But it’s normal to cry!

This song embodies all her feelings towards Chitose Noshiro!

These are all her memories.

Everything from the time they met to the present is in it, Lixi has completely written himself into a song.

This is a song that neither Chitose nor she will be disappointed with.

"The times are blind,"

(We who follow the wheel of time,)

"変わらず爱に生きるだろう,"

(I will continue to live in love.)

"Servant is loose,"

(When we are scattered across the world,)

"変わらぬ爱の歌なんだろうな,"

(It will be the love ballad that never changes.)

Finally, it ends with an interjection.

Noshiro Chitose said it was the sound of bubbles from the sun bursting.

The mumbling sound was sung by Chitose and her together. Lixi felt that Chitose's voice was becoming smaller and smaller, but she didn't care too much.

Because the applause from the audience was so loud! Before the music even ended, everyone generously offered their sincere encouragement.

"Huff, huff..." Lixi was panting. She felt like she was enjoying the singing very much.

"Xiao Sui! Look! Everyone is cheering for us! I did it! I..."

"Yeah, Lixi, you did it..."

I've always been proud of you, Shiina Tatsuki.

Chitose Noshiro smiled and fell backwards without caring about the expensive bass in her hand.

boom--

"Xiao Sui!"

Ch62. Hospitalization, Girl and Beach

Early in the morning, it rained in the hospital.

"How was the performance?"

"It was such a mess that my sister didn't even have time to get on stage. But I heard order was restored in the end."

"Hahaha, then do you think I pulled off a huge prank? Are you amused by me?"

"No, it's terrible. You're not allowed to talk anymore or you'll feel sick again."

The bed in the hospital was not soft at all. Qiansui felt like she was lying in a coffin, a cold and broken coffin that no one had covered with a lid.

There were still traces of tears on Lixi's face, which was so cute. She was clumsily peeling an apple for Qiansui.

"I don't eat apples!"

"No, this is very healthy, you have to give it to me!"

"Wuwuwuwu, little Lixi bullied me, wuwuwuwu, I'm a patient and you still bully me!"

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you. I'll go buy you something else... pineapple? Or grapes?" Li Xi put down the apple and covered her with the quilt that Qiansui had messed up.

"Puchi, trash, little trash Lixi...it's been a long time since I called you that."

Chitose grabbed hold of Lixi's skirt to prevent her from leaving.

This idiot really cares about himself. He didn't even have time to change out of his performance clothes.

Could it be that he has been waiting since last night?

"You were calling me that before you went on stage, idiot. Just rest and don't move around."

"Ah."

"Huh?" Li Xi was stunned. She never thought that Nodai Chitose would be so obedient.

He actually lay down obediently and cooperated with her?

real or fake.

"Really? I'm cooperating now... Shiina Riki."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly calling me that?"

The smile on Qiansui's face has disappeared, and the hot summer breeze blowing in from the open window is about to lift Qiansui's hair high.

"The medical records are out, right?"

"..."

Lixi's heart skipped a beat and she felt like she was almost suffocating in this atmosphere.

"Ah."

"What does it say? Just tell me... I've had a feeling about it."

"It's a very strange disease. There's no precedent for it, so doctors don't know how to treat it yet... But don't worry, Xiao Sui! I asked around and it's not a big deal."

"Yeah."

"right."

"You're not even sure yourself."

"..."

Laughter and joy are like a dream, and the silence after the dream is the real thing.

Chitose struggled to get up from the bed and held Shiina Riki's hand.

"Actually, I've been feeling a little unwell before, but I didn't have time to get a full checkup. Ahem... But it's not a big deal. Although the doctor said he's never seen this kind of illness before, he actually meant it was just the aftereffects of a new flu!"

"Little Lixi! Don't worry too much! We still have to go traveling."

Chitose laughed out loud again, and her bell-like laughter infected Shiina Riki.

"Yeah, we're going on a trip together."

"But don't we still have to go to school for another month before we can go on vacation? What should we do now?"

Shiina Riki was silent for a moment and looked at the floating clouds in the sky outside the window.

She made up her mind and said:

"I can't go to school anymore!"

Go to school? Forget it, it's not important!

"I can't wait to go on a trip with Noshiro Chitose. Come on, we'll be discharged from the hospital as soon as Chitose recovers!"

Phew…
