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

Chapter 197: Confession?

The dazzling chandelier hanging from the ceiling emitted a soft glow, and the pale yellow light gently fell on the dining table laden with delicacies, as well as on the faces of the two people.

Nagasaki Motoyo interlaced her fingers, resting them on her fair chin, the rounded curves of her chin pressing slightly against the table.

Her eyes held a gaze softer than the lamplight as she quietly watched Bai Qiu chew her food.

This was an incredibly heartwarming scene for her.

It wasn't the first time they'd eaten together alone.

Why is she so incredibly excited today?

Nagasaki Motoyo was slightly confused, but that didn't stop her from showing a happy smile.

Bai Qiu raised her head slightly, her gaze meeting Su Shi's.

"Su Shi, are you full?"

Feeling uneasy being stared at by Su Shi, Bai Qiu couldn't help but ask a question.

I've heard that for some people, enjoying the expressions on others' faces when they're eating the food they've made is a kind of pleasure.

Is the world in a similar state?

"I'm full!"

Nagasaki Sose's eyebrows curved slightly. Seeing that Bai Qiu's bowl of rice was empty, she finally let go of the jade hand that had been supporting her chin, picked up the spoon, and asked, "Would you like another bowl of chicken soup?"

"it is good."

Bai Qiu did not refuse; Su Shi's Chinese cooking skills were indeed very good.

While serving soup to Bai Qiu, Nagasaki Sue didn't stop talking, casually asking:

"Is Xiao Xiang settling in well after moving out?"

"It's alright." Bai Qiu chuckled helplessly. "I guess I'm back to living alone like before."

"Mmm." Nagasaki Motoyo responded softly, carefully handing the bowl filled with chicken soup and large chunks of chicken to Bai Qiu, and said jokingly:

"If you feel too lonely living alone, how about I move in with you?"

"Then Aunt Nagasaki will definitely come looking for trouble with me the next day."

Sensing the other person's joking tone, Bai Qiu immediately smiled and replied before taking the chicken soup and drinking it.

And Su Shi, are you sure it's not because you're too lonely?

"Not necessarily!"

Although her wish was somewhat disappointed, Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't taking it seriously anyway, and still smiled as she said, "Actually, Mom is very easy to talk to."

"That's because Aunt Nagasaki loves Su Shi very much."

There seemed to be more topics about Su Shi today than usual, and Bai Qiu answered them in an orderly manner.

Dinner ended in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

But Bai Qiu did not leave immediately.

Nagasaki Motoyo quickly put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher.

She then walked to the French windows, drew the curtains, and turned off the lights, plunging the room into darkness.

Only the large 70-inch color TV, leaning against the white wall in the center of the living room, remained, emitting its light.

The TV was showing a movie, which was about two hours long.

Since Su Shi said she wanted to watch a movie, Bai Qiu, who had accepted Su Shi's gift, had no choice but to stay and keep her company.

Anyway, he'll be fine going back alone for now.

The two sat on a comfortable, soft sofa with snacks laid out in front of them.

But because I had just eaten, I didn't have much of an appetite.

This is where the advantages of a large house become apparent once again; being in such an environment gives you the feeling of being in a movie theater.

The faint light shone on the two of them through the television.

Bai Qiu glanced out of the corner of his eye at the girl with long, flaxen hair that exuded a faint fragrance, who was standing close by.

Bai Qiu felt a little helpless.

It's not a problem to sit a little closer.

The main reason was his arm, which was held in place by Su Shi's hands. Moreover, there were occasional soft sensations coming from his arm.

Needless to say, he knew what it was.

Speaking of which, wasn't Su Shi too unguarded towards him?

And they've seriously underestimated the allure of her figure, which is far beyond what her peers possess, for a young man in the prime of his life.

The film being shown was a movie that contained elements of both horror and romance.

There were often some frightening scenes appearing, so it's understandable that Su Shi suddenly grabbed his hand just now.

But after that, Su Shi seemed to forget to let go.

Also, why do I inexplicably feel a little sorry for Xiangzi...?

This is what Su Shi wanted to do.

Well... in the end, Su Shi was just a child who was afraid of being alone and lacked care.

The last time she was sick, it was He Mu who accompanied her to the movies, while Su Shi pulled He Mu along.

Xiao Mu, I need you again.

To avoid any awkward incidents that would embarrass both of them, Bai Qiu decided to maintain this posture for the time being until the end of the movie.

After silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times, Bai Qiu managed to clear his mind of distractions and focus his attention on the movie.

Nagasaki Motoyo also secretly glanced at Bai Qiu in the dim light.

Of course, she didn't forget to let go.

I just happened to be genuinely frightened by the terrifying scene, and isn't this a great way to connect with people?

This is a privilege reserved for girls.

If she goes through this kind of experience a few more times, her relationship with Bai Qiu will become even closer, right?

At this point, a scene appears in the film where the male lead presents flowers to the female lead.

As luck would have it, the bouquet included the violets and baby's breath that Su Shi had given to Bai Qiu today.

Motoyo Nagasaki swore that although the film was carefully selected to have both horror and romance elements, she had never actually seen this movie before.

Swallowing hard, Nagasaki Motoyo mustered her courage and asked, "Bai Qiu, do you know what the meaning of violets is?"

"Does it generally represent eternal beauty and love?"

Su Shi's voice rang in her ears, and Bai Qiu quickly replied.

"Huh? You know that?"

Su Shi paused slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at Bai Qiu's profile.

She figured that a guy like Bai Qiu probably didn't know the meaning of flowers, so she thought it would be good to subtly hint at it to him through the language of flowers.

If he knew the hidden meaning of the flowers, he would be more or less aware of his own feelings, right?

If you don't know, you might go back and look it up out of curiosity because of your question.

So she won't lose out no matter what.

"right?"

Despite asking the question, Bai Qiu's tone revealed confidence.

After all, flowers never fade, love never ends, love is eternal, and the violet will live on forever.

Su Shi nodded slightly, revealing a warm smile: "Yes, that's right!"

"Then, the next question is, what is the meaning of white baby's breath?"

Bai Qiu smiled helplessly, thinking that Su Shi was playing a game with him.

But he doesn't know much about flowers. He only knows the meaning of violets because he happened to have seen a violet garden.

However, the meaning of a flower is often very rich.

Bai Qiu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked uncertainly, "Pure?"

"And there is unity, innocence, and spirituality."

Nagasaki Motoyo explained softly, her azure eyes fixed on Bai Qiu as she blinked: "Some people also use it to express their feelings for someone they have a crush on."

Bai Qiu nodded to indicate that she understood, then looked at Su Shi with a somewhat strange gaze.

Because among the flowers Su Shi gave him were...

Before Bai Qiu could say anything, Su Shi's cheeks flushed slightly. He gently tugged at Bai Qiu's arm and quickly changed the subject:

"Where are the pink roses?"

Bai Qiu smiled casually, realizing that he had been overthinking things.

Roses are quite common, he knew that, so Bai Qiu blurted out:

"Pure love".

Nagasaki Motoyo was slightly taken aback, and almost instinctively spoke up:

"Do you know how I feel?"
