Chapter 187 Aine is Sick
Monday.
In the astronomy department during lunch break.
Bai Qiu and Gao Songdeng sat at a small table, chatting and eating lunch.
I get to enjoy the lamp's mother's cooking again.
After swallowing a mouthful of food, Takamatsu suddenly stopped and stared straight at him.
So Bai Qiu asked:
"Light, what's wrong?"
"Um, Aki." Takamatsu Akari hesitated for a moment, then said in one breath, "The song for the live performance is for you."
I had planned to tell Bai Qiu after the live performance.
She actually forgot about such important news on the day of the live performance.
I really shouldn't have done that.
Deng Weiwei felt a pang of guilt.
After a slight surprise, Bai Qiu unconsciously broke into a smile.
Although he had a vague idea that the song by Deng was written for him.
But hearing Deng say it out loud still makes me feel a sense of relief!
So much so that he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
After all, who could resist such an adorable little penguin standing on the stage, shouting and singing a song written just for you!
This is exactly how I sing!
I need to ask Ms. Rinrinko for a copy of the video later.
If this continues, he might end up like Li Xi, becoming a lamp guard.
Oh, right, so I should also thank Lixi, as he composed the music.
"Thank you, Lantern."
Seeing that Takamatsu Akari seemed to have finished speaking, Shiraaki took a deep breath, put down her chopsticks, and said earnestly, "I really like the lyrics to 'Boku wa...', and this is the first time I've received such a special gift."
"I will..."
As Bai Qiu spoke, he almost uttered some heavy words.
It doesn't seem appropriate to say that in front of a lamp.
But under the expectant gaze of the little penguin, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
"I will remember this for the rest of my life."
Sure enough, Takamatsu Teng followed with a delighted smile.
"Yes! I'm glad Qiu likes it."
Is this your first time...?
That's great, Qiu's first time was with her.
Then, could there be a second time, a third time... until the end of a lifetime?
After leaving that topic behind, Takamatsu Akari looked at the empty chair next to her and said with some concern, "Aine-chan, it seems like you're sick."
Bai Qiu nodded and looked at the empty chair. "I plan to go see Ai Yin after school."
"I'll go with Qiu."
Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng eagerly turned his body to the side, his head following suit, his gaze fixed directly on Gao Songdeng's face.
Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment.
Deng's throat is still very hoarse today, probably from overexerting himself during the live performance.
"Why don't you go home and rest? Your voice isn't better yet. I can go by myself."
Takamatsu touched his throat, his eyelids slightly lowered, "I'm sorry..."
Bai Qiu was both amused and exasperated. She raised her hand and gently rubbed her head, as if comforting a wounded little animal.
"Why should I apologize? You didn't do anything wrong."
Like the warm touch of spring sunshine coming from above, despite still feeling a little regretful, Gao Songdeng cheered up and said softly:
"Then I'll get my voice back as soon as possible."
After school.
Bai Qiu embarked on her journey to Ai Yin's house.
The reason we didn't let Deng go was because his voice hadn't fully recovered.
Bai Qiu felt that Aine might not only be physically unwell, but might also be blaming herself for the live performance.
……
Chihaya House.
Chihaya Aine lay on her side on the soft bed.
Her face was somewhat pale, and her usually luscious and alluring lips now showed faint signs of dryness and cracking.
Because I'm sick.
When Ai Yin woke up this morning, she felt unwell and her head was dizzy.
After taking my temperature, sure enough, I had a fever.
In this condition, it's definitely impossible to go to school.
Fortunately, her mother was at home taking care of her, so she wasn't all alone.
Her face and eyes were fixed on her phone, which showed little energy, and the screen displayed her chat window with Bai Qiu.
The chat history stopped on the day of the live stream.
A little above that is the intimate photo of her and Bai Qiu.
The photo looks very warm and cozy, as if happiness is about to overflow from it.
That night, Chihaya Aine thought of setting this photo as the background of her chat with Shiraaki, so that she could see it every time she opened the chat window.
Now, however, Aine no longer has that courage.
If Bai Qiu already has a girlfriend, then wouldn't her behavior be just wishful thinking?
Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but bite her dry lips, her gray eyes revealing loneliness and inner turmoil.
Further down the chat history are encouraging messages Bai Qiu sent her before the live stream started.
Unfortunately, Aine didn't see this message before the live performance started.
If she had seen it then, maybe she wouldn't have been distracted and made the mistake.
Bai Qiu: [Ai Yinyin, even if you're not standing in the center of the stage, there will still be people watching you.]
Aine... Just seeing that name made Chihaya Aine feel even hotter, her already burning body.
To encourage her, Qiuqiu actually called her that.
Hmm... I really want to hear him say it from his own lips.
Chihaya Aine even mentally punctuated it like this: Aine/Aine.
Ah, just thinking about it is so embarrassing!
Her already slightly curled-up body curled up even more, and she couldn't help but squeeze the blanket tighter, burying her head and all the blanket under the covers.
After a while.
Chihaya Aine, who had reappeared, took a few breaths of fresh air, but her once rosy cheeks returned to a state of dejection.
Bai Qiu sent her some encouragement, but she still made some basic mistakes during the live stream.
Although no one blamed her, she almost caused everyone to fail the test of the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship.
Looking back, Chihaya Aine still feels guilty and doesn't know how to face everyone.
It must have disappointed Bai Qiu a lot.
Otherwise, she would have taken the day off.
Even Tomorin messaged her to check on her, so why didn't Bai Qiu message her?
Although she knew in her heart that this was just an unnecessary thought on her part.
But even though she was sick, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but want to receive Shiraaki's care.
At that moment, the somewhat dimmed phone screen suddenly lit up again.
Upon seeing this, Aine's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Bai Qiu: [Are you feeling better? I'll be at your house soon.]
The message was instantly marked as read.
Immediately afterwards, a noise came from outside the door.
