I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?
If potential risks are not controlled or prevented in advance...
Only after someone they care about has been hurt do they show this useless anxiety.
Toyokawa Shoko, what use is someone like you to Chen?
Miss Liang turned her gaze back to the phone in front of her.
Thanks to the girl beside her, the location-tracking bracelet she had given him faithfully displayed the boy's real-time location on her screen.
The distance between the two points of light is steadily and irreversibly closing.
The tram slowly came to a stop.
Neither of the blue-haired girls was affected by the lingering inertia.
Xiangzi's figure was like that of a nimble cheetah.
That anxiety urged her to quicken her pace, to quicken it even more.
As Miss Liang followed Xiangzi, her heart was no longer as calm as it had been when she had mocked him earlier.
She vented her barely contained anger with increasingly heavy steps.
In front of an exquisitely decorated residential building, following Xiangzi's steps, she waited for the elevator car to descend.
Such a short wait was unbearable for the two of them.
The car opened
A slight feeling of weightlessness indicates that they are currently in the process of ascending.
The number representing the floor ultimately settled at "42".
Miss Liang etched this number deep into her heart.

When Xiangzi called, Su Shi understood that her lucky break and the right people in the world had vanished.
Don't answer?
Xiangzi and Chen Ke were living together, so she would eventually find out whether Chen was home or not.
It's simply a matter of how long it takes and how much effort is required.
For Xiangzi, it was simply a matter of making one more trip.
After discovering that Chen hadn't returned home, Xiangzi would call her cell phone.
She could choose not to answer, or she could refuse to open the door when Xiangzi came looking for her.
Xiangzi didn't have a key to her house.
However, such actions will only make Xiangzi no longer tolerate her existence.
This part of her evening routine will completely disappear with this short-sighted choice.
After choosing to inform her over the phone, she forced herself to stay calm.
Reluctantly separating her body from the boy's, which had been pressed close together.
Tuck the blanket in to ensure the child gets a good rest.
She put on the clothes that had been scattered to the side and straightened her slightly disheveled hair to a presentable state.
She left a kiss on Chen's forehead.
She turned on all the lights in the living room and waited for Xiangzi to arrive.
She wasn't flustered before opening the door.
After all, she was not the direct culprit behind Chen's illness.
In retrospect, Xiangzi should thank her for taking care of Chen.
The urgent knocking on the door was particularly loud in the empty living room.
He slowly walked to the door, adjusting his expression to one of slight anxiety.
Miss Su Shi turned the doorknob
"Xiangzi! You're here! Chen's upstairs..."
Without lingering on Miss Su Shi for even a moment, Xiangzi, familiar with the layout of the Su family home, rushed upstairs without stopping.
Without her obstruction, an unexpected figure brought Miss Su Shi to an abrupt halt.
Her deep blue pupils suddenly contracted.
Like Xiangzi, this "unfamiliar" figure had beautiful blue hair.
The length, however, was considerably shorter, only reaching the shoulders.
Was she really a stranger to this uninvited guest?
No, it's not unfamiliar at all.
The presence of this blue-haired girl can be traced back to when the band was first formed.
During the time she followed Xiangzi, she witnessed that this young girl had a relationship with both Chen and Xiangzi that could be considered true friendship.
Why did she come with Xiangzi?
Chen was also her friend. Was she here to visit her in the hospital?
Did she hear Xiangzi's phone call?
Unkind
An ominous premonition was brewing wildly in Miss Su Shi's heart.
You must not have too much contact with this girl.
For some reason, this thought was swirling wildly in Miss Su Shi's mind.
"Hello? Are you Xiangzi's friend? This should be our first meeting."
She forced out her usual sweet, cloying voice when speaking to strangers.
"Well, it's our first time meeting, so we're not very familiar with each other yet."
"Could you please wait outside for a moment? Or would you like to go back first? Xiangzi and I will take good care of Chen."
Miss Su Shi's body showed no intention of waiting for a response; her arm pushed against the door, slowly narrowing the angle between the door and the threshold.
"Oh? Is this our first meeting?"
"Mingming, you should have noticed me quite a few times."
As the door slowly closed, Miss Liang exerted her own force.
"You're right, we're not familiar with each other yet."
"However, you'll get used to it quickly."
Ms. Liang opened her phone and found a group photo of everyone from the band's finale with Chen in her photo album.
The other hand, which wasn't vying with Ms. Suze, presented the photograph to her.
"Do you want to know what the relationship is between everyone in the photo, including me, and Chen?"
"I have a recording here that you should be interested in."
The blue-haired girl's golden eyes met Su Shi's gaze without any emotion.
The brown-haired girl's pressure on the door gradually lessened until it was no longer perceptible.
Miss Liang knew that she was wavering.
So-called hospitality was now completely forgotten by Miss Su Shi.
She turned away, abandoning that last line of defense.
The photo shown by the blue-haired girl
At the center of the photo is Chen, who is surrounded by people.
Four girls with different hair colors—red, pink, yellow, and blue—each held a musical instrument.
The red-haired and pink-haired girls were carrying guitars, the blonde girl was carrying drumsticks, and the girl she saw today was carrying a bass.
In front of Chen was a keyboard.
"This is a group photo after the band finished playing. Chen was our keyboardist."
Close the gates of the Su family
After settling down in the living room, Miss Liang revealed the terrifying information that Su Shi absolutely did not want to hear.
Opposite Miss Liang, Su Shi's gaze wavered.
No, that can't be...
Mingming, Chen had told her that they were a new community with a shared future.
Just before her rebuttal could be uttered, Miss Liang interrupted her.
"Hmm? Do you want to question what I said?"
"Chen is indeed active in your band every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."
"What about the remaining Tuesdays and Thursdays?"
For Su Shi, who still harbored some illusions, Miss Liang delivered the final blow.
"Chen was much happier after the band ended than he was in your band."
She opened the recording she had saved long ago.
"...Closing the band is my ultimate goal, so please rest assured, Ms. Ryo. I'm only temporarily helping out with Aine's band."
Why couldn't she find any fault with the recording?
Chen's voice was all too familiar to Miss Su Shi.
She couldn't deceive herself into believing the recording was a forgery.
Moreover, the photo of Chen surrounded by people serves as solid evidence of the authenticity of the recording.
Biting her lower lip, Su Shi tried hard to find a loophole in Miss Liang's words.
Perhaps it was futile, or perhaps Chen had already grown tired of them in private.
But Miss Su Shi refused to believe it.
That vulnerable, that real Chen—she had experienced it firsthand just a few hours earlier.
"Well, Ling Yingqi (four) Wu Jiujiu has exposed his true colors to me."
Leaning closer to the sofa, Miss Liang's tone carried a hint of pleasure.
"Him like this, you, and the rest of your band."
Are you still planning to keep him in the band?
Ok?
Miss Liang noticed that Su Shi, who was sitting opposite her, had suddenly calmed down.
"Regarding the question of authenticity, I will ask Chen about it after I have taken good care of him and he has woken up."
Yes, perhaps Chen really is a member of the blue-haired girl band across from her.
However, he would never ignore Mygo.
Miss Su Shi has such confidence
The blue-haired girl's provocative words were far too obvious.
She seemed eager to separate Chen from their band.
If Chen really promised her he would leave mygo, why would she come to her at this time to sow discord between Chen and their band?
"You just said that Chen is only with you on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
