Does gravity make me stronger?

Xiangzi looked around shyly, rubbing his hands together: "At least, after I pay off my debts..."

This extremely girlish action once again stirred up Hachiman's inner impulse.

Should we take her down here?

Go to hell!

Hachiman was starting to get frustrated.

Although he felt that Xiangzi's words were a bit unpredictable, since the other person had said so, he had no choice but to suppress his desire to respond.

"So now we..."

Hachiman asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Shouldn't it be the boy who takes the initiative to say these things?" Xiangzi said in a low voice, sounding a little aggrieved and complaining.

Ah, this...

Hachiman scratched his head; to be honest, he couldn't find the right words to describe the current relationship between the two.

They've already confessed their feelings, and both of them have tacitly agreed, but they're not considered boyfriend and girlfriend?

What's it like with Ru Lian?

not so good.

Despite rejecting the system's proposal, Hachiman couldn't come up with a suitable relationship.

Time ticked by, and finally the screen displayed a notification that the room fee was due. Hachiman silently packed his things, preparing to leave first.

suddenly.

Xiangzi reached out his hand.

Hachiman glanced in horror at the hand that had been grabbed.

Xiangzi, don't touch it, my palms are sweaty!

Extremely worried that his sweaty hands would offend the other person, Hachiman was even prepared to be scolded, but fortunately, Shoko did not notice this.

Rather than not noticing, Hachiman could feel that Shoko's hand was slightly damp the moment their skin touched.

The temperature rose slightly for a moment.

"I said... is this okay?"

"This...this is just a rehearsal!"

Xiangzi hurriedly tried to hide his embarrassment, tightening his grip on his hand. After a few seconds, he looked up and asked, "Or is it that this isn't allowed?"

"It's not impossible..."

"Ah That's good."

Because it was the first time they had done this in a "love-like" relationship, both of them found themselves in a strange atmosphere.

A while later.

Hachiman then realized that it was time to leave and wondered why the waiter hadn't come to ask them to leave.

The next second, a message popped up on the screen.

"Congratulations, customer! You've won a fantastic coupon! Now, renewing your subscription for just one hour is only 50% off!"

It's such an obvious marketing tactic that Hachiman didn't even bother to expose them.

but.

This offer, however, is incredibly tempting.

"How about we sing for another hour?"

Xiangzi's shoulders trembled slightly, his long bangs obscuring his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

The next second, she nodded slightly.

"it is good."

...

Room A13, a regular private room, was very lively.

In addition, there is even a music video for "Spring Shadow" here, which allowed Ai Yin, who has always wanted to be a lead singer, to finally fulfill her dream.

About two hours later, the group was also a little tired.

Nagasaki Motoyo looked tired and stood up from the sofa: "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."

Saying she was going to the restroom was just an excuse to call Hachiman and see if he had arrived at the dorm yet.

Also.

He also wanted to test whether anything had happened between Xiangzi and him.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo never expected that she would encounter an unexpected figure on her way to the restroom.

"Xiangzi, what are you doing here?"

"Su Shi?"

Having just washed his hands, Xiangzi, returning from the restroom, also raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"What a coincidence."

Xiangzi's tone was unexpectedly gentle. Was it because he had joined a new band and was in a good mood?

The two met unexpectedly, but the atmosphere was nowhere near as tense as it had been in Chiba.

"Did you come alone?" Su Shi asked.

“It was with Hachiman.” Shoko.

Nagasaki Motoyo gasped, her brows furrowed, and she repeated tremblingly, "Hachiman, is he here too?"

Are all the Crychic fans here too?

Xiangzi didn't reply, but instead asked other questions. Her relaxed attitude made Nagasaki Motoyo very unhappy.

"Don't change the subject. Which room were you in? Did you do anything to Hachiman?"

I confessed my feelings to him.

"Confession..."

Her lips trembled, and her face was deathly pale.

She knew that Xiangzi liked Hachiman, so how did Hachiman view Xiangzi?

They probably like it too.

How does that compare to my feelings for her?

do not know.

Feelings cannot be compared. Nagasaki Motoyo only knows that if one of them confesses, there is a high probability that they will succeed.

Therefore, knowing this well, she believed that she only needed to confess her feelings one step ahead of Xiangzi.

But she never expected that Xiangzi would beat her to it...

Her heart was pounding wildly, a thin layer of cold sweat was constantly seeping from her forehead, and her lips were a little dry. Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but purse her lips.

"And what did Hachiman... answer?"

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Nagasaki Motoyo regretted them.

Why ask this question?

What should she do if Hachiman agrees?

Should we smile and wish them well?

However, now that the words were spoken, Xiangzi's fate was entirely in his hands.

All I saw was...

Xiangzi shook his head expressionlessly.

That is to say-

Did Xiangzi's confession fail?

Very good!

Chapter 214, Section 211: Xiangzi Explodes Himself

Fantasy: Raise your glass, Toyokawa Shoko, let this golden rain crown you!

Reality: I'm sorry, Xiangzi, I can't accept your confession.

I really want to laugh!

At this moment, as a virtuous and gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that she should put aside the prejudice between rivals and comfort her "former" friend.

after all.

Just a month ago, Xiangzi was undoubtedly her ideal woman.

but.

She realized she simply couldn't do it.

The corners of his mouth turned up unnaturally.

There's nothing more exciting than seeing your love rival's confession rejected!

Upon closer inspection, faint tear stains remained on Xiangzi's delicate face.

Seeing this, Nagasaki Motoyo became even more certain of her earlier thought.

To avoid making the situation too awkward, she bit her lip hard until the muscles around her mouth were about to cramp.

A moment later, a shadow suddenly fell over Nagasaki Motoyo's heart—

Why did Xiangzi's confession fail?

Logically speaking, given Hachiman's gentle nature, he shouldn't have rejected Shoko's feelings.

Could it be that it was for me?

This fleeting thought filled Nagasaki Motoyo with immense joy, but she was not blinded by excitement and quickly regained her composure.

No matter how I look at it, it just doesn't seem right...

Nagasaki Motoyo silently fiddled with her fingers, then couldn't help but ask, "Why did it fail?"

"fail?"

Xiangzi casually gathered his hair, his eyes showing no trace of the dejection one would expect from a loser: "I didn't fail, I just made a promise with Hachiman."

Is he just being stubborn?

But judging from his expression, it doesn't seem like it...

Could Xiangzi have become so desperate that he's even deceiving himself?

"What kind of agreement is it?"

"secret."

"Xiangzi..."

Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her voice resentfully.

Honestly, this rollercoaster-like experience wasn't very pleasant.

If you don't want to talk about it, then so be it. Anyway, the relationship between Xiangzi and Hachiman has come to an end.

Next, it was her turn.

Nagasaki Motoyo hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip. Having lost interest in her ex-boyfriend, she turned and headed towards the restroom.

Halfway there, my right hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Hey, Su Shi, I have something to talk to you about. It's about Crychic."

"Crychic?"
