Whose singing is this?
Miao Meng initially thought she was hallucinating. She thought she heard singing, and the voice was so familiar that she even thought she was hallucinating because of her longing.
However, even the bustling crowd could hear the singing.
If I can never touch you again
Let me hug you one last time.
Goodbye, goodbye, I don't know how many times I've said it.
*Constantly instilling in myself
Upon hearing that familiar boy's voice, Miaomeng seemed to be possessed.
She wanted to see him, even if it was just her imagination and someone else was singing. She still wanted to see him.
As if possessed, she struggled desperately toward the sound of singing through the crowd.
"evening."
She cried out, as if in sorrow and longing.
***
You said waving is a form of gentleness, right?
"What I need now is to be strong."
Hanami stood on a table higher than the crowd, playing the song "Diamond Crack" with an electric guitar and microphone.
Looking at these fearful and uneasy people, the first thing that came to his mind was this song.
"It was only after meeting you that I was born in this dazzling starry sky."
The chaos stemmed from the spread of anxiety, coupled with the lack of guidance.
But at that moment, everyone saw a boy standing on a high place, playing a beautiful and moving song with a gentle voice and melodious tune.
Everyone's attention unconsciously focused on the boy, and gradually, the fear began to dissipate, and the crying and anxiety of the crowd slowly subsided.
Then, evacuation instructions began to play from the loudspeaker.
Effective! Uncle Kumamoto thought to himself, it was precisely because of the posture displayed by the boy standing on the stage that the crowd seemed to have a backbone, and they slowly and orderly dispersed, reducing the possibility of a stampede.
Meanwhile, Banami, standing on the stage, was also pleased to see this, but what he was thinking even more was...
Xiangzi, where are you? Can you hear my song?
"Only by loving can you... Only by possessing love can you..."
What good is it to wait for a hopeless miracle?
***
"It's the song of the evening."
Shoko, whose hand was being held by Wakaho, couldn't help but shout.
Ruo Sui was slightly startled, as if she had also heard the singing coming from not far away.
I can never forget your warmth.
Your tenderness and your all-encompassing hands
It's long, long goodbye.
"Miss Yukino, let's go, I'll take you to find Yuuki!" Wakaho said in her bravest voice.
Xiangzi paused for a moment, then, ignoring Banami's reminder, she said directly, "Call me Xiangzi. My real name is Xiangzi. I'm sorry for hiding it from you before."
Ruo Sui smiled without any surprise and said, "It's okay."
As long as I see you two happy, this little thing... I don't care.
Xi and Xiangzi are both very good names.
Therefore, Ruo Sui even took the initiative to walk in front of Xiangzi and clear the way for him in the gradually becoming orderly crowd.
***
"evening!"
Ruomai pushed through the crowd, her movements even becoming somewhat rough.
Is it him? Is he the boy I've always dreamed of?
Why is he here? Wasn't he with Toyokawa Shoko?
With countless questions swirling in her mind, Ruomai felt her adrenaline surge, as if her mind could no longer hold any more thoughts.
I just... I just wanted to see him, to confirm whether it was really him.
Finally, she pushed through the crowd, went against the flow, and finally arrived at the small stall.
I can say that I've never been alone.
*Yearning to love and longing to be loved
What would the world be like if only a cold, lifeless body remained?
Hoping that the pretense we've been wearing will gradually melt away...
What's wrong with me? Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't stop them.
Meeting you amidst a galaxy of stars gave me a new life.
The boy's singing continued, as if transforming into a beacon, illuminating everyone's safe path home.
However, for Ruomai, it had a different meaning.
The moment she saw the boy, time seemed to stand still for her. She couldn't even see anyone else in the crowd; all she could see was the boy standing on the stage.
Meeting you amidst a galaxy of stars gave me a new life.
Only by loving can one... Only by possessing love can one...
What good is it to wait for a hopeless miracle?
*Through tear-blurred vision, the starlight has long since faded...
*If we meet again in the next life
Please recognize me then.
Oh God, even if my life ends here, please wait a little longer.
Yutenji Wakana, whose thoughts suddenly popped into her mind, could no longer suppress her longing.
In full view of everyone, she jumped onto the table where the boy who was still serving as a beacon for others was sitting, then hugged him tightly, trembling with emotion and crying.
Don't leave me again, hold me tight.
*Hoping someone will whisper in my ear: I am not alone.
The boy, who was still singing with all his might, seemed to be a beat behind.
"Xi, I...I like you, I've always...always liked you!"
The singing stopped abruptly.
God, you are both too cruel and too... too gentle to me.
"Huh?" the boy exclaimed in surprise.
***
Ruo Sui and Xiang Zi walked hand in hand, afraid that they would be separated by the crowd and their important person, just like before.
Meeting you amidst a galaxy of stars gave me a new life.
Only by loving can one... Only by possessing love can one...
"It's Xi's singing!" The closer Xiangzi got to that place, the more certain he became.
At this moment, Ruosui was thinking that she didn't know the name of this song. She liked it very much, even more so than "A Lifetime of Love," or rather, she liked all of the other artist's songs. Therefore...
"Miss Xiangzi, keep going! I can already see what Xijun looks like."
"Yes!" Xiangzi nodded vigorously.
What good is it to wait for a hopeless miracle?
*Through tear-blurred vision, the starlight has long since faded...
*If we meet again in the next life
Please recognize me then.
Finally, the two made their way through the crowd, and Xiangzi finally saw the boy standing on the stage. Sure enough, it was him!
Ruo Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiangzi even wanted to jump onto the stage to hug her.
But at that moment, the two saw a familiar figure jump onto the stage and hug the boy.
The two watched as their teammate (the older sister) excitedly shouted to the boy.
"Xi, I...I like you, I've always...always liked you!"
"Huh?" Xiangzi couldn't help but make that sound.
"Huh?" Why is my sister with Xi Jun...?
Yu...Yana Yu...the name my sister mentioned, my boyfriend's name.
At this moment, Ruo Sui seemed frozen, staring at the scene before her.
The same "Eh!" came from Uncle Kumamoto, who was standing below the stage, watching helplessly as his eldest daughter hugged the brat and confessed her love.
"Huh?"
Chapter 42?!
"Xi, I love you. I've always... always loved you!"
The girl's bold confession on the "stage" stirred up the crowd, which had calmed down. Perhaps out of a desire to see more excitement, the crowd applauded the "couple."
Hanami looked at Yutenji Wakana, who was hugging him, in surprise. His first reaction was joy; he hadn't expected to see her here.
"Dear Meow Dream, what are you doing here?"
"That's the question I should be asking you!" Miao Meng said, sniffling and looking somewhat agitated, her eyes reddening. Her voice was a mix of anger and excitement.
Just as Banami was about to answer, the two heard a cold yet familiar voice from below say, "Yeah, why are you here? I'd like to know too, Yutenji... classmate?"
Then, Miaomeng turned her head and saw that head of light blue hair standing under the table, looking at her coldly.
Miao Meng's fairytale-like state of mind was shattered, and she returned to reality. When she saw Xiangzi, she couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, but she was a little surprised to see the girl next to her.
"Sui, why are you with her?"
This time, it was Banami and Shoko's turn to be surprised: you two actually know each other.
What Kumamoto's younger sister said next surprised the two of them even more.
"Sister...you...come down first." Yutenji Wakaho's eyes held a complex expression.
After all, the older sister is now holding the person she likes, while the person next to him is his girlfriend.
My sister once said that her boyfriend's name is Hachimi Yu.
"She's your sister?!" Xiangzi and Banami thought to themselves.
So you weren't born with the surname Kumamoto?
However, the three people present had no idea about Ruo Sui's complicated thoughts. Xiangzi directly exhaled and said, "How much longer are you going to hug me up there? Get down!"
Miao Meng pouted slightly and said, "You just got excited when you saw your friend. Why are you being so petty? Aren't you moved when you see me? See you, Banai."
Sure enough, after returning to reality, Miao Meng, who was trying to maintain her dignity, reverted to her sarcastic and eccentric self.
"I dare not move, I dare not move." Banami shook her head vigorously.
After all, the way Xiao Xiang was looking at him now was as if he wanted to devour him whole.
A moment later, the two got off the table. Just as Xiangzi was about to say something, a bear-like man appeared beside them and asked, "Ruomai, what's going on?"
The four turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Uncle Kumamoto.
