Chapter 297 The Lamp's Pleasure
On the day Hailing left Mygo, in the recording studio, she said those words to Qiu...
Gao Songdeng pondered Bai Qiu's words carefully.
He blinked slightly, his lips moved slightly, and Takamatsu Akari fell into a brief moment of reverie.
Of course she remembered.
She would never forget anything that happened between her and Bai Qiu after they met.
Whether it's something happy or sad, she takes time every night before bed to write it down in her diary, and she's almost finished one.
Not to mention that day was a very important day for her.
It was on that day that Bai Qiu decided to officially join mygo, and after that, she and Bai Qiu were able to spend more time together.
Bai Qiu told her at the time...
The future is long, and there are many uncertainties. No one can predict what will happen in the future, so it is unrealistic to be in a band for life, and I hope she can understand this.
She got it.
But even if you know this principle.
She still wanted to try, and with everyone... and hoped that Bai Qiu could accompany her too.
Because she likes Bai Qiu.
Yes, she said she liked Qiu back then.
Gao Songdeng recalled the words she had said to Bai Qiu in a moment of desperation, but which were a genuine expression of her feelings.
Even though she didn't quite understand what liking someone meant, her body seemed to naturally want to convey her feelings to Bai Qiu.
When she said that, everyone seemed quite surprised...
At this moment, Gao Songdeng's cheeks flushed red, and then she nodded her head firmly toward Bai Qiu like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, I remember them all."
Bai Qiu seemed relieved upon hearing this, nodded slightly, and chuckled, saying, "That's good."
Then his expression suddenly turned serious, and he shamelessly asked to confirm:
"Back then, you told me you liked me, right?"
Takamatsu was slightly taken aback, then a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she murmured, "Yes, I did say that..."
A feeling of shyness rose in her heart, but Gao Songdeng was also somewhat happy that Bai Qiu remembered this.
"I told you, I like autumn."
Gao Songdeng slightly opened his mouth and repeated it.
Her bright, clear eyes looked at Bai Qiu.
Time seemed to have returned to that recording studio all over again.
Bai Qiu couldn't help but recall the scene where Gao Songdeng stood on the stage and sang for him, a moment that left a deep impression on him.
Bai Qiu licked her lips, which seemed to be getting a little dry, and then asked:
"Light, what I want to ask is, what kind of feeling is your affection for me?"
Seeing that Takamatsu seemed a little stunned, Bai Qiu continued to speak.
"Is it the kind of liking that comes from mutual appreciation and trust between good friends?"
"Or is it because I helped you that you have a kind of affection for me, like a younger sister relying on her older brother?"
"Or something else?"
Bai Qiu asked the question she wanted to ask in one breath, and after catching her breath, she quietly looked at Gao Songdeng.
He was filled with anticipation and curiosity, wondering what kind of answer Gao Songdeng would give.
After hearing Bai Qiu's words, Gao Songdeng opened his mouth.
"I......"
Suddenly the lamp went silent again.
Or rather, they fell into serious thought.
Gao Songdeng lowered her head slightly, and couldn't help but ask herself what kind of love she had for Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu also quietly looked at Gao Songdeng without saying a word.
He didn't continue, but asked if it was liking between a man and a woman.
Because he shouldn't guide Gao Songdeng to the answer, but rather hope that Gao Songdeng can arrive at the answer herself, so that he can decide how to respond to Gao Songdeng's feelings.
At that moment, Takamatsu Akari's shoulders trembled slightly.
Seemingly having made a decision, she held her breath and raised her head again.
She had never been sure what liking someone meant, or what it felt like to like someone.
She asked Aiyin, her parents, and searched online...
Even so, she still had a vague idea of what it meant to like someone.
Liking something is such a complicated thing... Takamatsu Akari sighed inwardly.
But when you see Riki-chan hugging Aki, Aine-chan kissing Aki, and Ryuna and Metathus easily lying on top of Aki...
She was very envious.
She also wanted to do those things with Bai Qiu, and even just thinking about it in her mind made her feel a little embarrassed.
Like a newborn penguin slowly taking its first steps, Takamatsu Tōdō moved.
She walked up to Bai Qiu, getting very close, bolder than she had ever been before.
Until only a tiny gap remained between their bodies.
"...I'm sorry, Aki."
His eyes suddenly softened, and Gao Songdeng spoke with some apology.
"I've never really known how much I like you... Even now, I'm not sure."
"but......"
Gao Songdeng knew that she couldn't express her feelings through lyrics this time, but she also wanted to tell Bai Qiu her feelings in a more direct way.
As he spoke, under Bai Qiu's questioning gaze, Gao Songdeng stretched out his hands and lifted Bai Qiu's hands.
Then she gently pressed Bai Qiu's fingers onto her chest, and then her fingers covered Bai Qiu's hands.
"When I'm with you, my heart beats faster than ever before, and it does now."
"And it's the happy kind."
"Being with you makes me feel good, even if there's nothing to do. I feel a little lost when I don't see you on weekends and want to go back to school quickly. I think of you when I go to sleep at night."
Gao Songdeng continued, his tone slightly hesitant:
"Aine once said that this feeling is liking someone..."
Bai Qiu blinked, wondering why Ai Yin was involved.
However, Gao Songdeng's continued words made Bai Qiu temporarily put that thought aside.
“My parents also said that I’ve been acting a little strange lately, and asked if I’ll ever have someone I like.”
“I told my parents about Qiu, and when they heard it, they said they wanted to see you. I was very happy.”
As Takamatsu Tō spoke, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She felt her cheeks getting very hot, and her body seemed to be getting warmer, but she looked at Bai Qiu with courage.
Unlike when she stood on the stage, lost in singing the lyrics, now she was speaking her heart to Bai Qiu face to face.
The lamp seemed a little embarrassed.
But her chest seemed to be filled with a strong emotional impulse.
She desperately wanted him to know that she liked Qiu.
"...Yes, so my liking for Qiu is the kind of liking where I don't want to lose Qiu and want to live together in the future."
"I don't want to just be a good friend and a younger sister..."
After uttering those words with a slight tremor, Gao Songdeng paused for a moment before continuing:
"Qiu, I want to date you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Songdeng closed his lips, his eyes revealing a nervous yet hopeful look at Bai Qiu, as if afraid of being rejected.
...Bai Qiu stared at the lamp and listened to what it had to say.
Although his hand was forcibly pressed against her soft chest by the lamp, he felt no stirrings of emotion at that moment.
On the contrary, the sheer volume of information Takamatsu Tadako delivered in one breath deeply moved him.
Through the thin fabric, his hand could directly feel that Takamatsu's heart was beating faster than normal.
Bai Qiu's expression, which had been one of surprise, changed to one of understanding and relief.
He had even doubted Deng's feelings before.
Deng's affection for him was undoubtedly the most primal, pure, simple, and unpretentious kind of love between a man and a woman—the desire to be together!
I recently realized that more and more people like me, which doesn't seem like a good thing.
He also told himself that maybe Deng was just dependent on him, or that he liked him as a good friend.
But now, he understands that this is how Takamatsu Akari feels about him.
To be honest, Bai Qiu felt somewhat fortunate.
Sure enough, he and Deng liked each other.
Without keeping the girl before him, whose feelings for him were pure and sincere, waiting long, Bai Qiu said with a smile:
"Lamp, I like you too, and I want to date you."
