Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 79 Mu Lai Seeks Su Shi

They must be looking for Nagasaki Motoyo.

Bai Qiu made a guess in his mind.

From Bai Qiu's position, one can see Ruo Ye Mu's expressionless profile.

Then, his eyes, blinking only occasionally after long intervals, stared at the pager.

She was also carrying a black bag with a label that said "chocolate."

With her beautiful clothes and delicate, adorable face, she looks incredibly cute sitting here.

The only drawback is its lack of emotional depth, devoid of vitality and feeling.

A mischievous thought arose in Bai Qiu's mind, and he quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Little Mu, what are you doing here?"

Ruoye Mu was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at him with a slightly puzzled expression.

Upon seeing that it was Bai Qiu, she was surprised. Was he also here to see Su Shi?

However, Ruoye Mu did not speak immediately; she looked around again.

It seemed like they were confirming whether the nickname "Little Mutou" was referring to her.

"Little Mu, are you here to see Su Shi?"

Bai Qiu asked next.

Although she didn't understand why Bai Qiu called her that, Ruo Ye Mu responded softly, "Mm."

Bai Qiu glanced at the pager on the wall and asked, "Can't get in touch?"

"Um……"

Ruo Yemu seemed somewhat disappointed, but her voice remained relatively calm.

"He didn't reply to my text messages either."

She was a little worried that Su Shi might not want to talk to her anymore, since Su Shi used to reply to messages very quickly.

"Could it be that he's not home?"

“I don’t know…” Ruoye Mu shook her head, her eyes lowered, and continued, “Su Shi hasn’t been to school for three days.”

"3 days?"

Bai Qiu repeated it in surprise.

After Wakaba Mutsu reminded him, Shiraaki realized that he hadn't seen Nagasaki Motoyo for several days.

He's been busy with roadshows and songwriting these past few days, so he hasn't thought about much else.

If someone hasn't been to school for a few days, it's easy for people to wonder if they're sick or have had an accident.

After all, the other person lives alone.

Su Shi seemed to be in better condition after returning that night, but she still got quite wet in the rain that day.

Although I am fine.

Ruo Yemu remained silent, somewhat at a loss.

She looked at Bai Qiu, who was the last person to see Su Shi.

Mu's eyes held a glimmer of hope, as if she wished Bai Qiu could offer her advice like Xiangzi had.

Bai Qiu then said, "I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

Ruo Yemu's golden pupils brightened slightly, but he hesitated as he looked at the glass door blocking his way.

Bai Qiu took out her access card, waved it in front of her, and chuckled, "I live here too."

You didn't expect that, did you?

Ruoye Mu's mouth opened slightly in surprise. She then held the bag in front of her with both hands and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Thanks……"

Bai Qiu nodded slightly.

Then he noticed that the bag labeled "chocolate" didn't contain any chocolate.

But...

"cucumber?"

Ruoye Mu nodded, "Yes, it's for Su Shi."

A slight smile curved her lips, revealing a beautiful gentleness.

"Laughed!"

Bai Qiu was surprised.

Looking at the cucumber, Bai Qiu suddenly noticed that Ruo Ye Mu was wearing a yellow bow tie on her chest, which looked like the flower stem at the top of the cucumber.

Bai Qiu asked curiously, "You like cucumbers?"

Ruoye Mu nodded, seemingly somewhat surprised, "I planted it."

Bai Qiu nodded. "It looks good, it has a... sheen."

"Su Shi should like it."

Ruo Yemu's eyes lit up, and her lips parted slightly.

However, Bai Qiu had already said, "Let's go up."

"Mm." Wakaba Mutsu nodded slightly.

He strained his calves to catch up with Bai Qiu, but suddenly felt a numbness and weakness in his legs, followed by waves of soreness.

This almost made her drop the cucumber.

Her body began to stagger, and Ruoye Mu was about to fall.

Bai Qiu caught her from behind with lightning speed. Her petite body was so soft and boneless that it seemed very light, and indeed it was very light.

Bai Qiu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Lying nestled in Bai Qiu's broad arms, Ruoye Mutsu stared blankly at Bai Qiu with her golden eyes for several seconds before finally turning her head and slowly saying:

"My legs have no strength..."

The voice was weaker this time than before, giving the impression of being wronged.

If he hadn't been so close, Bai Qiu probably wouldn't have been able to hear him.

"Huh...?" Bai Qiu blinked and looked down.

Her knees, hidden beneath the dark green skirt, were slightly bent, and her calves, with their defined lines, appeared thin and weak, trembling slightly as if they might lose their balance at any moment.

Bai Qiu had a guess in mind and asked, "How long have you been standing here?"

"Two hours," Wakaba Mutsu replied.

Bai Qiu looked down at Ruo Ye Mu with surprise and doubt, as if to confirm whether she was joking.

Ruoye Mu's delicate and calm face was slightly furrowed at the corners of her eyebrows, as if she were telling of the soreness in her legs and feet.

Bai Qiu believed it, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

No wonder he couldn't walk.

Nagasaki Motoyo, you are guilty.

They actually made Xiao Mu stand as punishment for so long.

"I'll help you up."

"……Um."

"You should rest for a bit and wait for the blood to flow better in your legs."

"……Um."

"Next time you can't get in touch with someone, just go back."

"……Um."

Bai Qiu shook his head and sighed softly.

Little Mu can only say "hmm".

I don't know if I listened or not.

……

Soon, we reached the 45th floor.

Bai Qiu led Ruoye Mu to the door of the Nagasaki Sue family.

Wakaba Mutsu glanced at the "Nagasaki" sign hanging in front of the door and confirmed in his mind that this was the Su family.

Wakaba Mutsu had never been to Suze's new home.

Ruoye Mu pressed the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

As if searching for a pillar of support, Ruoye Mutsu turned to Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu analyzed: "Maybe he really isn't at home."

But Bai Qiu didn't give up. He rang the doorbell and knocked on the door.

Seeing no response, he even shouted into the house:

"Su Shi."

"Su Shi, are you home?"

Ruo Yemu seemed somewhat surprised and puzzled by Bai Qiu's actions, but felt grateful.

Just like Xiangzi before, he did his best to help her when she was at a loss.

Bai Qiu, however, didn't care at all.

Anyway, he and Nagasaki Motoyo live on this floor.

There's no one else here.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

There was still no response from inside the door.

So, there's nobody around anyway.

Bai Qiu, thinking he might as well give it a try since he was already there, reached out and turned the doorknob.

then.

There was little resistance...

The door opened with just a twist of the wrist!

Bai Qiu and Ruo Ye exchanged a surprised glance.

Could something really have gone wrong?

A slight sense of tension arose in both of them.

Bai Qiu led Ruo Ye Mu through the door.

Crossing the entrance hall.

Nagasaki Motoyo was easily spotted.

She was wearing loose pajamas and resting her head on her arms while lying on the dining table in the living room.

Is this... falling asleep?

Bai Qiu and Ruo Ye Mu walked forward.

There were unopened cold medicines and a bowl of plain white porridge on the table. There were no other side dishes, and the porridge had stopped steaming, so it looked cold.

Could it be that Nagasaki Motoyo also...?

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was lying face down, looked unwell; she was pale and bloodless.

“Su Shi…” Ruoye Mu called out softly with concern.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder, was he really sick?

Bai Qiu reached out and touched her white forehead, which was covered by a few strands of hair.

Sure enough, it was a bit too hot to handle.

Bai Qiu thought long and hard about falling ill at this time.

I suspect it's because of the rain I got caught in a few days ago.

The rain from the neon lights is a bit toxic.

Locals get sick if they get wet.

Luckily, I'm not a local.

However, considering Nagasaki Motoyo's mood at the time, and the fact that she was caught in the heavy rain, Bai Qiu felt that it was somewhat understandable.

What Bai Qiu didn't know was...

after that.

After returning home and taking a shower, Nagasaki Motoyo received a phone call from her mother saying she wouldn't be coming home this week.

I felt down again.

With her wet hair still damp, she sat on the cold floor.

I didn't eat dinner properly either.

The next day, I felt unwell.

She had no heart to take care of him and was still forcing herself to stay strong.

Under the shaking and shouting of Bai Qiu and Ruoye Mu.

Nagasaki Motoyo gradually regained consciousness, but was still dizzy. She barely opened her tired eyes.

She was still a little confused when she first woke up.

Upon seeing Bai Qiu and Ruo Ye Mu right in front of her, Su Shi thought she was dreaming.

Am I eating?

I had neither the mood nor the energy to prepare food.

Simply reheat the leftover white porridge from the morning.

However, plain white porridge that is too bland is not very appetizing and may even taste bitter.

Because of dizziness and aches in her limbs, she slumped onto the table and seemed to fall asleep.

When Ruoye Mujian woke up, she thought about what happened last week and felt somewhat timid, but even more worried.

"Su Shi, are you sick?"

Nagasaki Motoyo rubbed her eyes, her face filled with surprise and confusion.

"You...why are you here?! Cough cough..."

Her voice was hoarse, accompanied by coughing.

She appeared even more fragile than Wakaba Mutsu.

"Your door isn't locked."

Bai Qiu shook his head.

Although no outsiders will come, it is still somewhat dangerous.

Ruoye Mu nodded in agreement.

Nagasaki Motoyo's expression stiffened for a moment, recalling that she must have gone out to buy medicine that morning and then forgotten to lock the door when she returned.

"I forgot..."

Bai Qiu looked at the dining table: "You didn't eat or take your medicine?"

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded.

"Let's help her lie down for a while," Bai Qiu said to Ruoye Mu.

Wakaba Mutsumi obediently helped Nagasaki Motoyo up.

Wakaba Mutsumi wanted to help her to her room to rest, but Nagasaki Motoyo chose to stay on the living room sofa.

She looked at Bai Qiu walking towards the kitchen. Was he going to cook?
