Chapter 157 Going to Xijia?
Kita Ikuyo uttered these words with a hint of a sob in her voice, then lowered her head and murmured deeply:
"And no matter how much I practice, I can't sing with the same rich emotions as Takamatsu."
The private room fell silent immediately.
So, is there a problem with the lighting?
Bai Qiu looked at Xi Duo in surprise.
This was the first time he had ever seen Kita like this.
Kita has always been the ray of sunshine in the band, balancing out the darkness of Pochi and bringing joy to everyone.
But even Kita, who is always energetic and smiling, has times when she is depressed and cries.
Bai Qiu exhaled and retorted to Xi Duo, "Xi Duo, your idea is wrong!"
Bai Qiu's voice brought Kita back to his senses, and Kita, realizing that his words and attitude just now were not good, instantly felt very guilty.
"Please forgive me, Bai Qiujun!"
Before she could wipe away her tears, Kita hurriedly stood up, bowed, and apologized: "I didn't mean to talk to you like that."
Bai Qiu didn't care; he knew that Xi Duo wasn't blaming anyone.
"Kita, you don't need to be so formal with me. Besides, I'm not blaming you."
"but……"
Before Kita could even defend himself, he was interrupted by Shiraaki.
Bai Qiu repeated earnestly, "Xi Duo, I need to correct what you just said."
Kita looked up at Bai Qiu with a slightly puzzled expression.
“You weren’t entirely useless in ending the band,” Bai Qiu said, emphasizing each word. “The band can’t do without you.”
Kita was slightly taken aback, feeling both touched and with a wry smile.
She thought to herself that these were just words of comfort from Bai Qiu.
"During the live performance at the school cultural festival, Yili's zither string suddenly broke, right?" Bai Qiu suddenly asked.
Kita nodded in confusion, "Hmm..."
"Didn't you play a solo for Poch back then?"
Kita was stunned for a moment.
Bai Qiu smiled and looked at Xi Duo, his eyes full of admiration.
"Kita played exceptionally well that day!"
Kita's eyes widened slightly.
It turns out that Bai Qiu had been paying attention to her all along.
"In addition, Kita would encourage Ichiri during the tense moments before each performance."
"And Kita, you're our idol after the band ended. When we debut, you'll definitely be the most popular with fans."
"I could say a lot about Kita's role in ending the band!"
Bai Qiu stared at Xi Duo, "So Xi Duo, I won't allow you to deny your role in ending the band."
Kita's eyes trembled slightly, as if he was moved by Shirai's words.
Bai Qiu handed over the tissues on the table.
a long time.
Kita raised his head again.
Her eyes had brightened considerably by then.
Looking at Bai Qiu, who had been waiting for him to adjust his emotions.
Kita blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Bai Qiujun."
Only at this moment did Kita reveal his familiar smile.
Bai Qiu smiled.
However, Kita was also troubled by his inability to sing the emotions of a song like a lantern.
Bai Qiu thought for a moment.
The lyrics of "The Lamp" are an outpouring of her inner feelings, which is why she can sing with such rich emotion without reservation.
However, the lyrics for the ending of the band were written by him and Pochi, making it difficult for Kita to express them.
This is a bit difficult.
Should we send Kita to consult the lamp?
But even the lamp probably can't give a clear answer.
"I don't know much about singing," Bai Qiu replied while thinking. "But Kita, you can try to understand the meaning of the lyrics written by Ichiri. That might help you."
After listening, Kita nodded as if he understood, but there was still a hint of confusion and doubt in his eyes.
Seeing Kita's bewildered expression, Bai Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.
He patted Kita on the shoulder gently, encouraging him, "Don't worry, this can't be rushed. I believe that if it's Kita, he can definitely do it."
Looking into Shiraaki's encouraging eyes, Kita felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
She nodded emphatically: "Yes! I'll do my best!"
One last question.
It concerns Kita's mother's attitude towards Kita playing in a band.
Bai Qiu: "Xi Duo, didn't you say your mother didn't really approve of you playing in a band?"
“Yes.” Kita nodded, then smiled and said, “So at home I can only practice guitar and singing by hiding in a box or under the covers.”
"Isn't that the same as Pochi-chan?"
Bai Qiu couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, then asked softly:
“Nakita, do you have the idea of continuing to play in a band? I mean, do you see it as a path for the future?”
Actually, for Kita now, this question is a bit premature.
Kita couldn't help but lower his head and start thinking.
Although she has many friends at school, her studies and sports are just so-so.
I'm quite happy every day, but deep down I'm also tired of this ordinary life.
"I admire Bai Qiujun and Senior Liang for being people with clear goals who are walking on extraordinary paths."
Kita told Haku that he had finally made up his mind.
She said in a clear, crisp voice:
"I hope to be with Bai... and with everyone."
After saying that, Kita let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had found the direction to move forward.
Kita glanced at Shiraaki nervously.
Bai Qiu probably didn't hear that, right?
Bai Qiu smiled faintly.
Since that's what Kita thinks, then there's no problem. He will do everything he can to help Kita.
Bai Qiu was determined to remove all obstacles that might hinder the Kita Play Band this time.
There may not be any major problems now, but if Kita's mother's resistance to Kita playing in the band is not resolved, it's like a hidden bomb that might trigger a big conflict someday.
So, I guess I'll have to win over Kita's mom.
So Bai Qiu spoke up: "Xi Duo, would it be convenient for me to talk to your mother? Maybe I can persuade her to accept you playing in a band."
"Eh?"
Kita Ikuyo was clearly stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
"Bai Qiujun, you...are you coming to my house?"
Kita Ikuyo looked surprised. She swallowed nervously, and a blush quickly spread across her face.
Even if she was the most popular girl in school, bringing boys home wasn't something she could easily do.
This can easily be misunderstood.
"Hmm." Bai Qiu nodded and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"
A hint of regret appeared on Bai Qiu's face.
We'll have to see how things go later.
"It's not..."
Kita was caught in a dilemma.
She quickly made up her mind.
Bai Qiu has already gone to such lengths to help her, what is there for her to be embarrassed about?
Moreover, she only asked Bai Qiujun to help persuade her mother's attitude, and had no other ulterior motives.
She's got a sunny disposition, no problem!
"Alright, Bai Qiujun, then I'll leave it to you."
With that, Kita stood up, picked up the guitar case beside him, and said crisply, "Let's go."
"Now?" Bai Qiu asked in surprise.
"Hmm, is there a problem?" Kita looked over, puzzled.
"No, no problem."
Bai Qiu shook his head. He was just surprised by Kita's speed of change. As expected of Yangjiao.
Since that's the case, there's no time like the present, so let's go to Xiduo's house now and try to persuade Xiduo's mother.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Qiu's face.
What Bai Qiu didn't notice was the blush that appeared on Kita's face when he turned around.
