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

Chapter 26 Inviting the Lamp to Dinner, Watching the Cold Eat Grass

"Yes, yes, I swear."

Bai Qiu said jokingly.

"Ok!"

But Takamatsu seemed very happy to hear this, and she nodded emphatically.

"Light, please straighten your legs."

Bai Qiu said this because the bandage was to be applied to the knee to prevent it from coming loose when she stood up.

Gao Songdeng seemed to realize only now that Bai Qiu was squatting in front of her legs, about to put a band-aid on her.

Takamatsu was somewhat embarrassed.

"Um……"

But she still obediently turned to the side and straightened her legs.

Then, when he noticed the pattern on the band-aid, Takamatsu was immediately drawn to it.

"This is the sixth installment in the marine life series."

"There are also patterns of coral reef manta rays, ocean sunfish, oarfish, whale sharks, blue whales, fin whales...

As he spoke, Takamatsu took out a lot of new Band-Aids from his body.

His hands were limp in front of Bai Qiu.

"Want it?"

Gao Songdeng looked at Bai Qiu with great anticipation.

Seeing Gao Songdeng suddenly become more enthusiastic again, Bai Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.

"The lights are back to normal!"

"However, now it's your turn to apply it."

Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble just now..."

Bai Qiu shook her head, then perfectly applied the band-aid to Gao Songdeng's injured knee.

"Thanks……"

Seeing that Gao Songdeng was still holding so many Band-Aids, Bai Qiu had no choice but to pick out a few more.

Takasatsu immediately smiled again.

Bai Qiu felt that Gao Songdeng was quite easy to please, as long as you were willing to accept her strange gifts.

The light suddenly moved away, which really caught him off guard.

The two stood up, and Bai Qiu asked another question.

"Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

Since Deng was unwilling to speak, he could only observe the injury from the surface.

"No."

Gao Songdeng shook his head slightly.

"That's good."

Bai Qiu felt relieved.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu noticed the diary lying open to the side.

It looks like the lamp fell to the ground when it was knocked over.

Seeing Bai Qiu pick it up, Gao Songdeng subconsciously opened his mouth.

Bai Qiu had already inevitably seen a few of those words.

"An overburdened heart, trembling eyes, in this world."

I'm always alone.

"In spring, when all we know is how to wither, we spend each year in a bland and indifferent way."

Bai Qiu didn't read any further.

The lyrics are very evocative, but Bai Qiu felt that the first few lines were quite negative!

Speaking of which, through the system, I learned that Gao Songdeng apparently also plays in a band.

Bai Qiu handed the diary back to Gao Songdeng, and then asked:

"Was this written by a lamp?"

"Are these lyrics?"

"Yes, it's... lyrics."

Gao Songdeng responded softly; these were lyrics, and also her diary entries.

"The lyrics to 'The Lamp' are amazing."

Bai Qiu asked again.

"Does Deng have a band?"

Gao Songdeng fell silent for a moment, but she didn't want to deceive her friend.

"Before, but... the band..."

"They've already disbanded..."

Bai Qiu: "..."

This time, Bai Qiu personally felt that a sad and negative emotion was emanating from the area centered around Gao Songdeng.

There's also an invisible pressure that feels like it's trying to swallow you up.

Although I am somewhat concerned about the reason for the band's disbandment.

However, Bai Qiu believed that asking any further questions would definitely lead to a disaster.

We finally managed to resolve what happened earlier, let's hope to get through this day peacefully!

I'm not asking anymore!

"That's it..."

Change the subject, change the subject.

What should I say? Bai Qiu's mind raced.

Got it!

"lamp!"

Is there a seventh installment?

Bai Qiu took out the marine-themed band-aid she had just used.

Gao Songdeng looked up and thought for a moment.

"As for the 7th installment... it'll be next month. Aki, do you want it? I'll buy it then!"

"Please bring me one!"

Bai Qiu was delighted and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the lamp still looked somewhat disappointed, at least the invisible pressure had disappeared.

…………

Because of the chase, the two ended up on the playground.

He has no intention of returning to the Astronomy Department.

Bai Qiu and Gao Songdeng walked together towards the school gate, preparing to leave.

After leaving the school gate, Bai Qiu suggested,

"Shall we go to the nearby dessert shop?"

Bai Qiu further explained:

Consider this an apology for making you fall while I was chasing you.

However, Gao Songdeng shook his head frantically, repeatedly stating that he had fallen on his own and that it had nothing to do with Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu also expressed her gratitude to Deng for sending so many interesting Band-Aids.

Please give him a chance.

In the end, Takamatsu Teng did not refuse.

Bai Qiu planned to take this opportunity to soothe her emotions.

We arrived at the dessert shop.

Gao Songdeng ordered a hot mocha coffee, and Bai Qiu added a cake for her as well.

Bai Qiu ordered iced grass jelly and fries for herself.

The two chatted for a while and finished their food.

Just prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Bai Qiu packed up some fried chicken to take home as a side dish for dinner that night.

Step out of the store.

We arrived at the fork in the road.

Bai Qiu was about to wave goodbye to the lamp.

A figure behind the lamp was the first thing that caught Bai Qiu's attention.

The figure was watching them both.

Bai Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

"cold?"

Yamada Ryo was squatting in the bushes behind Takamatsu Tou.

Takamatsu turned around with a slightly puzzled look.

After seeing a person in the bushes.

It wasn't fear, but curiosity.

Is this person collecting pebbles like her?

Yamada Ryo first looked at Bai Qiu and replied indifferently,

"Well, what a coincidence."

Then Ryo's gaze shifted to Takamatsu Akari beside him.

But to the lamplight, it was a cold, indifferent voice.

His expression was blank, his eyes as calm as still water.

And what about the unknown book and weeds in the other party's hands?

Why use a question mark? Because Takamatsu is confused.

However, it was clear that Takamatsu knew that the other person's interests were different from hers.

Gao Songdeng suddenly felt a little nervous because it reminded her of a former member of CRYCHIC.

Harmony.

I don't know how to respond, but the other party is Qiu's friend.

Takamatsu Akari mustered her courage and nodded politely to Yamada Ryo.

"Hello, I am Takamatsu Teng. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, Yamada Ryo, just call me Ryo."

Takamatsu was slightly surprised.

However, this did not prevent the conversation from abruptly ending.

Then, Gao Songdeng looked at Bai Qiu.

"Well then, Qiu-jun, I'll be going now."

"great, see you tomorrow."

Bai Qiu nodded.

"Ah."

Gao Songdeng jogged away, feeling a little melancholy.

Today brought back so many memories of CRYCHIC.

I glanced at Takamatsu Takamori as he left.

Yamada Ryo looked slightly puzzled; she sensed that the other person was somewhat afraid of her.

But it's okay, doesn't this show that she has a lot of personality?

Thinking about it this way, Yamada Ryo's lips curled up.

So she looked at Bai Qiu again.

To be precise, what I was looking at was the food Bai Qiu was carrying.

Yamada Ryo watched as the other person came out of the dessert shop.

Bai Qiu also watched Yamada Ryo with great interest.

The lantern didn't know what book Yamada Ryo was holding, but Shiraaki did.

A popular science guide to edible plants.

Yamada Ryo looked directly into Bai Qiu's eyes, then touched his stomach with the hand holding the weeds.

It seemed to be hinting at something.

The two remained motionless, staring at each other for a while.

A little out of energy, Yamada Ryosuke couldn't hold back any longer. Shouldn't you be curious and ask me what I'm doing right now?!

"Why are not you talking?"

"I'm waiting for you to eat grass."

Yamada Ryo's pupils contracted slightly, and he said pitifully,

"I've been eating weeds for days now, and I'm so hungry."

"Then you should eat grass."

Bai Qiu smiled politely; he preferred watching the live stream to watching anime.

Yamada Ryo's gaze sharpened. Doesn't this guy have any compassion?

"Xiao Qiu, we're teammates, right?"

"Yes!"

"Shouldn't it be the right thing to help a teammate in distress?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Bai Qiu nodded thoughtfully, then raised the bag in her hand.

"It's cold, this is fried chicken."

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up; what she desperately needed right now was meat rich in energy.

However, Bai Qiu's next words made her lose hope.

"But sorry, it's cold."

"I can't give it to you."

"This is my dinner."

"If I give it to you, I'll have to eat nothing but instant noodles tonight."

"You wouldn't want to see me eating that kind of thing, would you?"

After saying that, Bai Qiu suddenly felt that the last sentence was a bit redundant.

Yamada Ryo fell silent. "I don't care whether you eat instant noodles or not."

No, I care a lot.

Because she didn't even have instant noodles.

"So, Liang, are you still going to eat grass?"

Yamada Ryo lowered his head, pretending that he was disappointed in him and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Then... I'll go now?"

Bai Qiu asked tentatively, but there was no reply.

"Goodbye, Liang."

Bai Qiu left without warning.

Looking up at Bai Qiu's graceful departure, Yamada Ryo couldn't shake off the feeling for a long time.

"Gulu..."

Yamada Ryo casually grabbed a handful of weeds and stuffed them into his mouth.

"so bitter……"

Why did you tell her it was fried chicken?

P.S.: I think I'm at my breaking point! The plot is still there, but I'm not entirely satisfied with how I've written it...
