"Is she that green-haired girl? I saw her picture on your official account."
"Hmm... I just don't know if Mutsumi can still talk to Nagasaki Motoyo now... It's too late, Mutsumi probably can't receive my messages anyway."
Xiangzi's voice lowered; she wasn't sure if Su Shi would want to see her again.
"Xiangzi, could you send another message? Let's see if we can schedule it for Sunday afternoon this year, and I'll go with you."
"okay"
Xiangzi added a message to Mu's chat box.
"But why did Chen want to schedule this time?"
Xiangzi was a little confused, but then she remembered that Chen had already left when she woke up last Saturday morning. It seemed he had a fixed schedule for Saturdays?
But on Saturday afternoon, Chen was wandering around outside again; otherwise, he wouldn't have run into her like that.
Painful yet blissful memories resurfaced in her mind.
She tightened her embrace of the person beside her, but unexpectedly, she was met with such a direct question.
"Xiangzi, I don't want to play dumb in front of you. I know you like me."
Xiangzi's face flushed crimson instantly, an overwhelming sense of shame welling up inside her.
But now that Chen had seen through her thoughts, Xiangzi didn't want to deny it anymore.
If her shyness caused Chen to misunderstand her thoughts, where could Toyokawa Shoko go to cry?
Although the volume was very low, she responded clearly.
"Um...."
Then, fearing his statement wasn't clear enough, Xiangzi offered his red lips again.
After the kiss, Chen, having received a definite answer, was mentally prepared.
He chose the short-term pain, accepting his fate even after Xiangzi left him after learning the truth.
After all, what he dislikes most is gaining something and then losing it again. To him, if he's going to lose it anyway, it's better not to have it in the first place.
The longer it goes on, the deeper the wounds become, and this applies to everyone.
"Xiangzi, come with me tomorrow morning. I want you to meet someone. Promise me, okay?"
This was the first time Xiangzi had seen Chen so solemn.
She felt a vague unease, but she still agreed.
How could she possibly refuse Chen's request for such a trivial matter?
From Xiangzi's perspective, after Chen took out his phone and edited a message for a while, he started acting strangely.
He pulled Xiangzi into his arms, holding him with unprecedented strength.
His body trembled slightly, as if he were afraid of something.
Xiangzi had no idea what had happened, and Chen didn't respond to her inquiries.
But she knew what Chen was afraid of; Chen needed her.
Therefore, she will wholeheartedly provide her loved one with the sense of security that they lack.
Although the two had been spending nights together for a week, this was the first time they had done so in this manner and position.
An unprecedented sense of security enveloped the two of them, but Chen felt a new kind of anxiety that Xiangzi lacked.
He was afraid of Xiangzi's departure and had even considered keeping it a secret.
As long as Xiangzi doesn't know what happened in Yili, he can, at least for a considerable period of time, enjoy the tenderness of the two women.
Given how much Yili and Xiangzi depended on him, even if the truth eventually came out, he was very confident he wouldn't let them leave him.
But this is unfair, unfair to both Xiangzi and Yili.
He couldn't possibly do something so despicable.
His values don't support him doing such a thing.
He's already done a terrible job of two-timing; he can't afford to do something so utterly shameless. Other people's genuine feelings shouldn't be so betrayed.
Yili already knew about Xiangzi's existence, and even if Chen didn't take Xiangzi to see her tomorrow, he was supposed to keep his promise and take her back to his place after lunch at her house.
Now, having made this decision, Chen can only leave it to fate.

Chapter 52 Season 2 Champion
After finishing breakfast, there was still some time before noon.
Mutsu also sent a message to Shoko, saying that Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to have agreed quickly, but she was quite resentful about having to wait another day.
Sigh, the white moonlight
She was scolded and driven away by Xiangzi, but when she heard that Xiangzi wanted to apologize to her, she immediately agreed.
He opened his own box faster than anyone else, and even asked if she needed to pay for his transportation.
If Nagasaki Motoyo were to switch genders, it would only mean she'd have a different life.
With Su Shi's problem settled, what remains are the historical issues left behind by Aine.
Chen knocked on Tao Xiang's door and pulled her out of bed, as she wanted to sleep in.
After showing the sheet music, Chen asked the somewhat confused golden retriever to begin the lesson.
After Chen paid the price of buying her beer, the golden retriever enthusiastically began its lesson, mercilessly mocking every mistake Chen made.
Only after being punished by Chen's iron fist did she obediently settle down and properly begin teaching.
Chen also wants to get involved in Miss Lixi's sheet music project ahead of time.
After all, her final draft hasn't been finalized yet. If Chen tries to follow every revision, he definitely won't be able to complete the task.
The real challenge is figuring out how to get her to accept it.
You can't exactly slap the finished sheet music in her face and then tell her, "This, we don't need it."
I wonder how big a bombshell Miss Lixi's inferiority complex will cause.
If your right hand isn't convenient, then use your left hand only. At least familiarize yourself with the music first. Save as much time as you can.
Xiangzi was naturally of no help; she was just a keyboard warrior.
As the clock struck ten, Chen's practice came to an end.
And so the main event of the day began.
After saying goodbye to Miss Momoka, who was going back to sleep, Chen and Xiangzi embarked on their journey to the Boqi family's house.
Just like last time, I bought some fruit. But this time I used a lighter purse.
Chen felt a little embarrassed about getting something for nothing.
Chen could have found topics to chat with Xiangzi on the tram, but as they got closer to their destination, he eventually fell silent.
He couldn't predict how today's events would unfold.
He simply carried the fruit, walked mechanically, and finally rang the doorbell in front of the Goto residence.
"The Goto residence? Whose house is this? Why is Chen here?"
Xiangzi's doubts grew stronger. Although she had seen Yili before, she couldn't match the name to the person in question, and Chen had never mentioned anyone with that surname to her before.
"Oh my, is this the classmate Ichiri mentioned at school? Hello~ I'm Ichiri's mother, Goto Michiyo~ Just call me Auntie~"
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Toyokawa Shoko. I hope my visit has been unannounced and that I haven't disturbed you."
Although she didn't understand the situation, Xiangzi's upbringing as a well-bred young lady helped her make a good first impression on her mother.
"No, no, this is the first time a female classmate has come to play with Yili~ Our Yili has finally grown up!"
After taking the fruit from Chen, Yili's mother's tone was somewhat reproachful.
"You silly child, didn't I tell you not to spend any money? Just make yourself at home! Alright, alright, Auntie will cut up some food for you after lunch. You two go upstairs first~ Don't keep Yili waiting~"
"Of course, then Toyokawa and I will go up first."
Xiangzi's sense of crisis intensified; she had never anticipated that today's itinerary would unfold like this.
It seemed like Chen was going to confront her about something; she had a strong premonition.
Who exactly is this person named Yili?
According to Aunt Michiyo, Chen also came here for lunch last Saturday.
It seems that Chen had arranged to come every Saturday.
All the questions, as the door was opened, plunged into even greater questions.
Yes, she had seen this pink-haired classmate before.
However, she had absolutely no idea what relationship Chen had with this Miss Yili.
After Chen closed the door and locked the room...
The words he uttered left Xiangzi's mind blank for a moment.
He blocked the doorway and managed to squeeze out an introduction of Yili's identity.
"Xiangzi...this Miss Goto Ichiri...is my...girlfriend..."
The first reaction was surprise and confusion; Xiangzi couldn't immediately grasp the meaning of the words coming from Chen's mouth.
Girlfriend?! Chen, what does Chen mean? She's clearly never seen Chen interact with this classmate from Yili.
"Chen, you're joking, right? This Goto-kun is just your friend, isn't he? Hey?"
Xiangzi walked up to Chen, looking at him with pleading eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Chen finally mustered the courage to meet Xiangzi's gaze, her dark golden eyes filled with unease.
Chen nodded slightly in denial.
Tears welled up in Xiangzi's eyes instantly, and she slumped weakly in front of Chen.
Xiangzi knew that Chen wouldn't lie to her.
Moreover, Chen's unusual behavior last night and this morning also indirectly proves that he was not lying.
Chen Cai confirmed her feelings last night, so why... is he doing this to her now?
"Chen, you're joking, right? Let's go home, okay?"
She pleaded with Chen to say something affirmative; she didn't want to face any of this.
It wasn't just Xiangzi who was wavering, but also Yili.
She knew Chen had other people he liked, and she tacitly accepted their existence. As long as Chen always had her in his heart, that was enough.
Even if Chen kept it from her, she wouldn't care.
Okay, she'll care a lot. This is the one thing Miss Ichiri doesn't want to deceive herself about.
However, she never imagined that Chen would use such a direct method to declare her existence in front of others.
She was very happy, but also felt sorry for Chen.
Seeing Ms. Toyokawa wavering, she couldn't offer any help; ultimately, she was still Ms. Toyokawa's adversary.
But she knew Chen was in great pain.
So, Yili walked up to Chen, timidly took his hand, and wanted to let him know that she supported him.
Faced with such a scene, Xiangzi's last thread snapped.

Why did Chen tell her about this? Why, why, why?
Didn't Chen accept her feelings?
Could it be that Chen wants to sever ties with her? Did he bring her here today just to make her give up on him?
