Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

"Deng, don't panic! You and Su Shi help me lift Li Xi onto my back, I'll carry her to Su Shi's house so she can get some rest. She's been staying up too late, she's exhausted."

Miss Lixi's dark circles are quite noticeable; this is the closest she's ever come to looking like a panda.

"It's not your fault, light, or rather, it's all our fault."

"We've given Lixi too much to handle."

"Don't blame yourself. Let's go to the Su family's house and let her get some rest."

"Su Shi, is everything alright?"

Miss Su Shi nodded. She and Chen were already heading back, and Li Xi was, after all, her friend. Going to her house was no problem.

Chen crouched down to make it easier for Miss Su Shi and Deng to put Miss Li Xi on his back.

They placed Lixi's arms over Chen's shoulders and across his chest.

Chen lifted Miss Lixi's strong thighs and quickly made his way towards the Su family's location.

Chen was the only man present, and only he could bear Miss Lixi's weight.

Therefore, this arduous task could only be entrusted to Chen.

The easiest part of the journey was taking the elevator after arriving at the Su family's building.

After entering the room, Miss Su Shi very readily allowed Chen to place her on her bed.

After tucking Miss Lixi in with the blanket and adjusting the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, Miss Su Shi went downstairs to pour a glass of water and placed it on her bedside table.

Chen looked at Miss Su Shi with some surprise. He had thought that a girl like Su Shi might be a bit of a germaphobe, but Su Shi settled Li Xi into her bed without saying a word.

Miss Su was curious about how Chen really saw her. Li Xi was clearly her friend, so how could she possibly be unwilling to take care of Li Xi?

Su Shi went to buy groceries; there were more people than ever before today, and she was going to show off her culinary skills.

This also allows Lixi, who has overdrawn her body, to properly replenish it.

Seeing Li Xi's furrowed brow even in her sleep, Chen understood that the opportunity to help Miss Li Xi had arrived.

Was the price Miss Lixi paid for this so-called opportunity really worth it?

Chen was somewhat confused.

It took all of Miss Lixi's energy to obtain this so-called "opportunity to help her".

It seems a bit too ridiculous.

After sending the two prepared documents to Ms. Lixi's chat box, Chen decided to disregard Ms. Lixi's so-called "sense of inferiority."

If this continues, Miss Lixi's health will suffer.

Could the so-called sense of inferiority be more important than Miss Lixi's body?

Moreover, is there really no way for him to cope with the so-called sense of inferiority?

Yes, Chen really couldn't handle Miss Lixi's sense of inferiority.

Compared to the other girls, Miss Riki seemed too upright, with almost no weaknesses.

Too stubborn, unwilling to accept help from others.

The best way to get closer to Miss Lixi is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

Chen, however, lacked the courage to reciprocate Li Xi's sincerity.

Chen's background has always been a closely guarded secret in his mind.

To this day, only Yili and Xiangzi know about this.

But to help Miss Lixi, this top secret must be revealed to her.

It's a bad choice to shift the blame for helping her onto someone else.

Furthermore, using the identity of the "mysterious musician" who collaborated with Red Ginger would only cause further harm to Miss Lixi's already bad mood.

She already had two huge mountains weighing her down: her older sister Maki Shiina and Shoko. If another mountain were to suddenly appear beside her, it would be unbearable.

Moreover, the reason why Chen, this powerful figure, intervened would be completely unacceptable to her.

I initially refrained from interfering with her composition out of kindness, but she was simply too incompetent to handle the situation, so I had no choice but to step in.

This is utter "pity," utter disdain.

It will definitely make Miss Lixi explode completely.

While waiting for Miss Lixi to wake up, Chen repeatedly considered the feasibility of various plans.

Where is she?

Miss Lixi has absolutely no memory of what happened after she collapsed.

She slowly regained consciousness, feeling the soft warmth on her body and the unfamiliar ceiling before her. She began to try to recall everything that had happened before she fainted.

"Lixi, you're awake."

"Here, have some water. I carried you to Su Shi's house; you can rest on her bed now."

"Everyone's here at Su Shi's house. Su Shi is making dinner, so don't worry."

Chen gently helped Li Xi sit up and placed a pillow behind her so she could lean on it.

The glass of water that Miss Su Shi had prepared came in handy.

A parched throat truly needs moisture, and Miss Lixi instinctively opened her lips to the water offered to her.

After finishing her drink, she looked around at the room Chen had mentioned—Nagasaki Motoyo's room.

Surprisingly simple; she had imagined that someone like Nagasaki Motoyo would have a house filled with decorations.

She caused trouble for the band members because of her stubbornness.

She not only failed to do her job properly

Her neglect of her health caused her to waste so much of the band's time.

"Lixi, I want to help you. I've sent you the revised sheet music. Take a look."

Why worry unnecessarily? What can Chen do to help her? She has no idea that Chen is capable of doing this.

Miss Lixi turned on her phone and tapped into Chen's chat window.

Some sluggish thinking was forcibly activated after reading the score.

She looked at Chen in disbelief as she played the audio message he had sent her in the chat window.

She desperately didn't want to admit it, but this was the feeling she had been searching for.

She spent countless hours trying to find that missing feeling.

But Chen, from who knows where, sent her the complete Azure Sky Companion.

What is the meaning of her existence?

Furthermore, not only the song "Walking with the Azure Sky," but also the guitar version of "Spring Shadow" was presented to Ms. Lixi.

"Lixi, this sheet music isn't mine."

The sudden shout from downstairs interrupted Chen's explanation to Li Xi.

After finishing his work, Xiangzi went straight to Miss Su Shi's address.

Miss Su Shi was cooking when there was a sudden knock on the door.

She wondered who might visit her at this time. Could it be her mother coming back?

She opened the door, and there stood the blue-haired girl before her. She couldn't help but call out the name aloud.

"Xiang, Xiangzi?!"

Xiangzi hadn't informed anyone of his plans to come, all to give this Miss Su Shi a little "surprise."

Also, give Chen a little surprise.

Apart from Su Shi calling Xiangzi's name once, there was no other sound in the living room.

The lamp couldn't understand why Xiangzi was here.

It's not surprising that Xiangzi appeared here.

Upstairs, Miss Lixi struggled to get out of bed after hearing Xiangzi's name.

As Li Xi looked downstairs, her gaze met Xiang Zi's, who was searching for Chen's whereabouts.

Crychic really did collect them all today!

Xiangzi's appearance provided Lixi with definitive answers to all his doubts.

She slumped weakly to the ground, no longer looking at the blue figure below.

Su Shi's previous absence was 100% related to Toyokawa Shoko.

Chen and that pink-haired girl are in Haneoka. That pink-haired girl said she saw Xiangzi at school.

How could Chen, who has such a close relationship with that pink-haired guy, not have met Xiangzi?

Chen had already noticed her exhaustion.

Chen had never shown any talent in composing, and then there was the appearance of Toyokawa Shoko.

Who actually possessed these two scores that Chen gave her?

The answer is obvious.

When Chen hesitated to speak last time, had he already asked Toyokawa Shoko to revise the score?

Why is Chen giving her this now?

The person who can best understand Miss Lixi's hard work is clearly Chen.

So why is Chen now abandoning her hard work?

As expected, she still couldn't replace Xiangzi.

She couldn't handle everything like Xiangzi did.

In the band, she remains the role that can be replaced at any time.

Miss Lixi knew that Chen understood her personality.

Although she didn't know how he found out, Miss Lixi felt that Chen knew her very well.

So why is he doing this now?

Was it Chen who never trusted her?

Was it Chen's pity for her?

She couldn't understand it, and she wanted to question Chen.

But whether it's pity or distrust, Miss Lixi absolutely cannot accept it.

Because it was Chen who said that to her.

He said that without Lixi, their band couldn't continue.

He affirmed Li Xi's significance in the band.

It was his tolerance that allowed Lixi to stay in the band.

It was also because he didn't blindly follow that pink-haired guy's unreasonable demands and worked hard to maintain the band.

His strong sense of responsibility was what Miss Lixi liked most, completely different from that traitor.

She felt that given time, they could truly become incredibly good friends.

But why would Chen do such a thing?!

Why deny the significance of her existence?

She didn't even look for anyone else, but rather for someone she had always disliked—Toyokawa Shoko?!

She went back to her room and locked the door.

Miss Lixi pinned Chen against the wall in the room, gripping Chen's collar tightly.

But the strength in her hands gradually weakened.

Miss Lixi is not an unreasonable person.
