Bai Qiu told Ai Yin.

"Hmm." Chihaya Aine clutched the blanket, asking timidly, "I... I don't think I have any strange smell, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Qiu frowned slightly.

Then, he twitched his nose slightly and took a deep breath, as if trying to discern some special scent in the room.

Chihaya Aine's eyes widened slightly, and her eyelashes trembled involuntarily.

I'm already starting to regret asking that question.

What if Bai Qiu really smells something bad?

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine's heart became increasingly flustered, and even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

Too nervous and shy, Aine instinctively shrank her face further into the blankets, leaving only her eyes visible.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem to make a bit of a difference,” Bai Qiu suddenly said.

"Huh? Ah ha...ha..."

Upon hearing this, Ai-yin's eyes immediately lost their sparkle.

That's it, her image in Bai Qiu's eyes is completely ruined.

Being smelled by someone you like because of your body odor.

Seeing that Chihaya Aine seemed deeply affected, Bai Qiu quickly explained with a smile:

"I was just kidding, I didn't smell anything strange."

"Are you kidding?"

Chihaya Aine asked, somewhat disbelieving.

Bai Qiu nodded, still calm and collected: "Even if there is some smell, it's okay, right? After all, you're sick, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Even beautiful girls need to eat, drink, poop, pee, and sleep.

"Hmph, it's not that it's not a problem!"

Ai Yin hummed softly, making a muffled sound: "If that happens, you'll definitely... you'll dislike me."

"Why would I dislike you because of this?"

Bai Qiu played with the temperature gun while smiling.

"Hmph, who, who knows!"

Chihaya Aine pouted slightly, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

Although he said this, his heart and face betrayed his undisguised joy.

Bai Qiu looked at Chihaya Aine with a strange expression.

Bai Qiu concluded that the sick Ai Yin was more troublesome than the sick Su Shi.

Chihaya Aine seemed to realize that her tone was a bit off, and her face turned red.

But she's sick, so it's okay for her to act cute, right?

Thinking about those questions that are troubling my mind.

Chihaya Aine asked curiously, "By the way, where have you moved to now?"

“The tower over Roppongi,” Bai Qiu replied.

"It sounds expensive." Chihaya Aine tapped her chin slightly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She then asked, "Can I come over to play when I'm better?"

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment.

Theoretically, there's no problem, but this would mean another person would know about her living with Xiangzi.

Should we just tell Chihaya Aine now?

"is it not OK?"

Ai Yin reached out and touched Bai Qiu's knee, her watery eyes fixed on him. Her hoarse voice seemed to soften and sound aggrieved, as if she thought Bai Qiu was going to reject her.

Bai Qiu's heart softened, and she said...

Chihaya Aine felt a surge of joy. "Then... what about Suze?"

Bai Qiu felt strange; why was Su Shi mentioned?

"What happened to Sushi?"

Ai Yin was taken aback, puffed out her cheeks, and counted on her fingers, saying, "Because every time there's a band activity, you come and leave with Su Shi."

Bai Qiu then understood what Ai Yin meant.

So that's where it was exposed. I didn't expect Aine to be so observant.

However, this is not some shameful secret.

He and Su Shi didn't deliberately hide it.

"This is actually because Su Shi and I are neighbors."

"Huh? Eh—cough cough!"

Chihaya Aine's eyes widened, and she coughed a few times, trying to get out of bed. Her previously listless face showed surprise.

So Bai Qiu moved away from her house and became Soyo-san's neighbor?

Soyo-san, you're so cunning! You never said a word about it from beginning to end.

"Why...why didn't you tell us before?"

Chihaya Aine felt resentful but couldn't show it, so she could only stare at Shiraaki with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"You didn't ask either."

Bai Qiu chuckled awkwardly twice before answering, then poured two more glasses of water. "Would you like some water first?"

Ai Yin was taken aback. She shook her head to clear her mind, her gaze still unfathomable. "So, if I ask, will you tell me?"

"Well, that depends on the situation," Bai Qiu said slowly after taking a sip of water.

"Hmm... cunning." Chihaya Aine revealed her little tiger teeth, gritting her teeth.

Bai Qiu smiled and said, "That's right, why don't you ask them first?"

"So I asked?"

Ai Yin swallowed hard, opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back down.

Now that things have come to this, she's actually starting to back down.

But if you miss this opportunity, you'll never have the chance or the courage to speak up again.

Taking a deep breath to bolster her courage, Ai Yin glanced at Bai Qiu and said:

"Did I really ask?"

"Mmm." Bai Qiu nodded, both amused and exasperated.

What is your relationship with Toyokawa Shoko?

Bai Qiu's eyes widened slightly. He coughed twice, thankfully without choking on the water.

"Aine, why would you ask that?"

Chihaya Aine pressed her dry pink lips tightly together, and the knuckles of her fingers, which were gripping the corner of the blanket, turned slightly white.

She spoke in a weak voice, "That day at my house, the text message... I saw it, I'm sorry..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Yin lowered her head, her expression somewhat gloomy, but she quickly looked up at Bai Qiu with trepidation and fear.

She was afraid that Bai Qiu would be angry because she looked at her phone, but she was even more afraid of hearing answers from Bai Qiu that she didn't want to hear.

Even so, she still wanted to know.

Because she really cares.

Even if we lose, we should lose clearly and decisively.

Bai Qiu looked surprised, then suddenly realized what was going on.

So Aine misunderstood her relationship with Shoko?

There was no other way; since that was the case, he decided to tell Aine.

With a slight sigh, Bai Qiu replied, "Xiangzi is living with me now."

"Well...then what?"

Chihaya Aine's eyes darkened, and her vision seemed to blur.

She felt utterly hopeless.

They really are living together.

"And then? So we should be considered friends and roommates, right?" Bai Qiu looked at Ai Yin with a puzzled expression, and then said, "Su Shi knows this too, so the three of us usually have dinner together."

Chihaya Aine paused slightly, her gray eyes revealing a mixture of confusion and hope.

So, it sounds like they're just living together, but not yet boyfriend and girlfriend?

Although living together is also terrible.

Ai Yin asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

“You know a little about Xiangzi’s story, right? It’s a bit complicated, so I won’t go into details.” Bai Qiu shook his head. He couldn’t keep reopening Xiangzi’s wounds. “Just think of it as him running away from home.”

"Well, I see."

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly, seemingly understanding, but her heart was filled with barely suppressed joy.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she knew that Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

That's great! That means she still has hope!

Sure enough, she was overthinking things and scaring herself!

Hehehe... I knew it! Qiuqiu isn't that easy to win over, and with Soyo-san there too, there's not much that Baiqiu and Toyokawa Shoko can do.

Yes, it's just cohabitation! Pure roommates.

"You're not angry, are you? About accidentally seeing the text message." Chihaya Aine quickly asked, her tone apologetic, but her gray eyes had already regained their liveliness.

"What do you think?" Bai Qiu smiled meaningfully and flicked the fever patch on her forehead.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! It's all because the phone lit up by itself."

"Just consider it as you owing me one time."

Chapter 189 Hailing Leaves

Two more days passed after that.

Chihaya Aine's fever has subsided, and Takamatsu Akari's voice has almost recovered as well.

Today, the sun is shining brightly and the weather is fine, as if it foreshadows something good to happen.

Today is also the day that Yahata Uminori returned.

In RiNG's practice room.

After a long time, Hachiman Kairin wore her usual outfit: a red inner layer, a black leather jacket, and a silver-gray bodycon mini skirt.

The cool and stylish Hai Ling is back in the spotlight, making everyone's eyes light up.

"Hailing, it's been a long time," Bai Qiu said casually, leaning against the wall.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?" Hai Ling tilted her long, snow-white neck to face Bai Qiu, her delicate, cold face softening slightly, yet revealing a hint of doubt.

"Uh, you're right." Bai Qiu chuckled and nodded silently.

"What does this mean?" Chihaya Aine asked, slightly puzzled.

"Hmm." Hachiman Kairin nodded slightly, a slight smile playing on her lips. "After all, you visited me at the hospital six times last week."

Upon hearing this, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo began to look at Haku Qiu with increasingly strange expressions.

"ha--?"
