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

Chapter 121 Bringing Xiangzi Home

"Eh……?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

She had never seen Bai Qiu so serious before.

The resolute emotion revealed on Bai Qiu's face.

This left Xiangzi slightly dazed, almost unable to say "no".

that's it.

Bai Qiu took all the money out of her wallet, about 10 yen.

When Toyokawa's father saw it, his eyes lit up.

"Get it."

After Bai Qiu said something, the money was slapped onto Feng Chuan's father.

Yamada Ryo: ?

Suddenly.

Toyokawa's father, his face contorted with drunkenness, grinned as he stretched out his arms to gather the banknotes.

He praised it and even expressed his gratitude to Bai Qiu.

"Haha, thank you..."

"I'll pay you back when I win it back."

"No need for that." Bai Qiu smiled dismissively. "Since we've given you the money, we're leaving now."

"it is good."

Toyokawa's father responded instinctively.

Bai Qiu suddenly grasped Xiangzi's hand and said to him:

"Xiangzi, let's go."

"Eh……?"

Toyokawa Shoko gave a soft hum, her expression somewhat bewildered.

But it did not break free.

Xiangzi was still overwhelmed with mixed feelings, having not yet recovered from his surprise and sadness.

Suddenly, I felt my weak fingers being tightly gripped by another pair of long, strong hands.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangzi's body was moved by Bai Qiu.

"Wait...wait a minute!" Seeing this, Toyokawa's father, who was counting his money, asked loudly, "Where are you taking Xiangzi?"

"That's none of your business."

Bai Qiu said without turning her head.

Toyokawa's father caught up with them, angrily saying:

"How can it not be my business? Xiangzi is my daughter."

to be frank.

Bai Qiu thought highly of him for being able to catch up.

Bai Qiu stopped and turned to look directly at Feng Chuan's father.

"Oh, so now you know Xiangzi is your daughter?"

"What were you doing just now?"

"What were you doing while Xiangzi was working part-time outside?"

"What happened to make you look so drunk?"

"Can you tell me what you're going to do to win the money back?"

All of a sudden.

Toyokawa's father looked panicked, his eyes wide.

"I...! Why are you telling me all this! What I do is none of your business."

He spoke loudly, as if that would quell the panic.

Xiangzi listened blankly to Bai Qiu's speech.

Tears welled up in Xiangzi's eyes.

Finally, someone voiced the grievances she had been holding in.

Bai Qiu took a breath and continued to look at Feng Chuan's father.

"When you were completely drunk, even running into the middle of the road, did you ever think that Xiangzi was your daughter?"

When Xiangzi was helping you solve your problems all by herself, did she ever think about the fact that she was your daughter?

"Xiangzi was just a teenage girl."

"Do you act like a father now?"

"Bai Qiu..."

Bai Qiu's words.

Tears began to stream down Xiangzi's cheeks.

Toyokawa's father, whose face was already flushed from drinking, turned even redder at this moment.

His face was slightly contorted, but he still stubbornly insisted, "This...this has nothing to do with you! Mind your own business!"

"Xiangzi, come back quickly!"

Fengchuan's father looked at Xiangzi and was surprised to find that Xiangzi was crying.

"I'll meddle today," Bai Qiu said firmly. "Then let's see if Xiangzi is willing to go back with you."

Bai Qiu looked at Xiangzi, silently praying in her heart.

Bai Qiu naturally hoped that Xiangzi would leave with her.

If Xiangzi had chosen to go back with his father at that moment...

How embarrassing for him!

of course.

Bai Qiu could only respect Xiangzi's idea.

But at that time, all Bai Qiu could say was...

He tried his best.

Toyokawa Shoko looked at her father's face; his lips were pale from being bitten so hard.

Not long after, Xiangzi lowered his head and gripped Bai Qiu's hand tightly.

Bai Qiu understood.

Bai Qiu calmly said to Feng Chuan's father:

"Xiangzi won't go back with you. But you can rest assured, Xiangzi is better off with me than with you. Xiangzi and I are friends, and I won't hurt her."

He was, after all, Toyokawa Shoko's father.

Bai Qiu did not intend to have a conflict with him.

Just let him know that Xiangzi is safe and that he shouldn't hinder him.

Bai Qiu's choice, and Xiangzi's choice.

Toyokawa's father stood there dumbfounded, watching the two figures walk away.

……

The two walked hand in hand down the street.

Toyokawa Shoko secretly looked up, her gaze landing on Shirai's face.

The warmth transmitted through her hand sent a surge of comfort through Xiangzi, dispelling her unease.

Her hands shouldn't be sweaty, right?

Toyokawa Shoko's body trembled slightly.

In an open space.

Bai Qiu stopped.

"Um... Xiangzi?"

"Yes! I'm here!"

Xiangzi, lost in thought, gave a flustered reply.

"Can you let me go now?"

Bai Qiu blinked, then pulled out her finger and asked.

At first, although he took Xiangzi's hand and left on his own initiative, as they walked, something seemed to change.

Bai Qiu had already stopped exerting force, but she could still feel her fingers being held.

Although holding hands felt nice, Xiangzi's hands were quite soft.

But we can't keep holding hands like this forever!

Bai Qiu had no choice but to do it just now, only to take Xiangzi away smoothly, not to take advantage of Xiangzi intentionally.

The important thing now is to free up your hands to hail a taxi home.

Shoko Toyokawa then realized the force she had used.

She hurriedly let go of his hand.

"I'm so sorry... I forgot."

Xiangzi waved his hands as he explained.

Finally, Suo Xing lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look Bai Qiu in the eye.

"fine."

Bai Qiu was slightly stunned.

Why do I feel like I'm the one being taken advantage of?

"Xiangzi left the band because of family reasons."

Bai Qiu simply said one sentence in a calm tone.

Now that we've seen it, there's no need to pretend we don't know.

This was the first time Bai Qiu had mentioned her reasons for leaving Crychic in front of Feng Chuan Xiangzi.

"Um……"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded bitterly.

Those things she didn't want others to know, those things that would embarrass her, those things that would hurt her self-esteem.

It seemed that everything was laid bare before Bai Qiu.

But if it's Bai Qiu, then it seems like nothing matters anymore.

this moment.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder, what about Xiangzi's mother?

Although I was curious.

But Bai Qiu is not Nagasaki Motoyo after all.

They won't recklessly press for answers.

Even though Bai Qiu felt that Xiangzi's attitude towards her seemed a little different.

If asked, Xiangzi would most likely tell him.

But Bai Qiu didn't intend to ask any further questions.

Facing Xiangzi, this spiky blue hedgehog.

Asking too many questions is like picking at her thorns; it will cause her continuous harm.

This will also reduce her positive feelings towards him.

Motoyo Nagasaki is the best example.

Bai Qiu did not choose to continue this topic, but changed the subject:

"Let's go back, I'll call a taxi."

"Where?"

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head and asked.

"Go to my house."

Bai Qiu looked at Xiangzi.

"Huh? But..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked nervous.

"I'm the one who took you away, so of course I have to take full responsibility for you."

Bai Qiu explained calmly.

"Eh……?"

Take full responsibility...

Shoko Toyokawa extracted the keywords herself, and her face, which had just calmed down, instantly turned crimson again.

"Yes. And Xiangzi, you can't go back so easily, otherwise your father will still act the same as before. Let him stay by himself for now."

Bai Qiu said helplessly.

Bai Qiu's words made Xiangzi think. Xiangzi felt that they made sense, and she subconsciously believed Bai Qiu.

“Unless he changes, Xiangzi, you can stay at my house until then.”

"How about it, is it okay?"

At this moment, Bai Qiu asked a question.

Xiangzi's expression was somewhat conflicted, and he asked nervously:

"Wouldn't that disturb you..."

"If that's what you're worried about, then there's absolutely no problem," Bai Qiu said with a smile. "I live alone now, and it's just me at home."

Bai Qiu then continued:

"Of course, if Xiangzi doesn't trust me..."

"I don't worry about you."

Toyokawa Shoko answered quickly, feeling her face burning even hotter.

Bai Qiu smiled at Xiangzi, "That's good."

……

The location is remote.

It was late.

It's hard to get a taxi.

However, with the added cost...

Bai Qiu hailed a taxi in no time.

After getting in the car.

The two sat side by side in the back.

Bai Qiu suddenly looked at Xiangzi and said, "By the way, Xiangzi, there's something else I need to tell you."

Xiangzi asked, "What?"

“Well…” Bai Qiu paused for a moment, “Su Shi and I are neighbors.”

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko blinked several times in a row.
