"So many people!"
The lamp's gaze swept through the queuing crowd.
"Hey, the pandas take a long time to see. If we queue up, the zoo will be closing soon."
"How about we go see some other animals? It doesn't seem worth spending so much time queuing."
"Ah, I just saw it, over here, there are penguins..."
"Does Deng want to see the penguins? Chen, what's your opinion?"
Miss Su Shi handed over the decision-making power to Chen, the organizer of today's itinerary.
"List?"
After receiving no response to her calls, Miss Su Shi placed her hands on the boy's shoulders from behind.
Following the direction he was facing, Li Xi, who had been barely noticeable since arriving, came into her line of sight.
"Lixi~ Deng said she wants to see penguins, shall we go with her?"
Even if Miss Su Shi brought up the topic of "lamp," which had previously been ineffective against that girl...
But Li Xi, standing to the side, did not react at all.
Her body was slightly turned towards the panda enclosure queuing area.
Her purple eyes were fixed on the boy beside Nagasaki Motoyo.
"Hey, it's better if we all stick together, it's not easy to get together for a trip!"
The cloying voice that came from Nagasaki Motoyo's mouth was as sweet as ever.
That signature perfect smile on her face
Never before has it been so repulsive.
Shouldn't you be using your enthusiasm on that guy Toyokawa Shoko?!
Why, the moment Chen and I got off the tram, did you rush to my side and take Chen away, showering me with fawning affection like a shameless, loyal dog?
Attracting Chen's attention with those meaningless greetings wasn't enough.
Are you even going to take away my right to see pandas?!
She and Chen were so close, yet it felt like an insurmountable chasm separated them.
Was it all just wishful thinking on her part?
Was all the "love" the boy expressed for her a lie?
Is it all just a misunderstanding on her part?
If not, why hasn't Chen taken a single step closer to her?
The moment she received the boy's invitation, she was filled with anticipation.
She was so shy when she asked her sister for help with her makeup.
She was so uneasy when she appeared before the boy after changing her clothes.
Are all these feelings she has just imagined?
Are all these preparations just a waste of time?
She was so serious
But it seems she never heard the boy confirm his feelings for her.
Shiina Tatsuki, you're such a clown.
The girl's heart mocked the futile efforts she had made that day.
At least, she can still go see the pandas.
Yes, seeing pandas would definitely cheer her up.
She looked away and urged herself to move towards the line at the panda enclosure.
The queue heading to the panda enclosure was moving slowly not far away; the end of the queue was right there.
All you need to do is take a step, and move your body to the back of the line.
But why?
Her body was so heavy, her steps so sluggish.
So procrastinating that they can't even take a single step.
Why, no matter how she imagined the panda's adorable and silly appearance...
There was no way to alleviate the heaviness in her heart.
Seeing pandas is something to look forward to and something to be happy about.
But why does it feel like there's a void in my heart?
All positive emotions, along with that void, slipped away like sand through fingers, irretrievably lost.
The stinging in her eyes was a prelude to tears welling up.
After an unknown amount of time, she turned around.
She seems to have been abandoned.
No one paid any attention to her being an "unsociable" person.
The familiar figures have vanished without a trace.
As expected, it was all just her wishful thinking.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, releasing her sorrow.
It also gave her the strength to take a step forward, even though she couldn't move.
As she approached the end of the line, a force came from behind her, bringing her to a halt in her limp steps.
Then, a fan with a panda printed on it came into her view.
"How's the gift I bought for you?"

The familiar voice of a boy came from behind her.
"Come on, open your mouth~"
The crisp texture meant that what was put into her mouth was a cookie.
The chocolate-flavored biscuits left a slightly bitter aftertaste lingering on her lips and teeth.
A tin box, also printed with a panda pattern, was held up in front of her.
That weight was placed in her hands.
"Look, this cookie has a panda on it too!"
"It's quite delicious, so I bought a few extra boxes. I think we can put them in the rehearsal room for everyone to eat together later."
When the word "everyone" appeared, Miss Lixi finally couldn't contain her emotions any longer.
After she turned away, the sight of her undisguised tear tracks made Chen's heart clench suddenly.
The zoo was originally Miss Lixi's territory.
"I'm sorry, Lixi."
"Actually, I had a ulterior motive in inviting everyone except you to the zoo."
"I want everyone to become true lifelong friends, outside of the band's activities, through being able to participate in each other's daily lives."
"Especially the lamp; I wanted to subtly prepare her for the possibility of not finding Ai-yin."
"But please believe me."
Without any attempt to hide it, Chen and Miss Lixi's purple eyes met.
"Today's trip to the zoo was made just for you."
"I chose this place because Lixi likes pandas."
The bag Chen was carrying was now fully unfolded in front of Miss Lixi.
Dolls, cookies...
A whole bag full of panda-related merchandise.
"I found out this place sells panda souvenirs online, and I wanted to surprise you."
In the darkness, Miss Lixi finally saw her glimmer of light.
The hand that Chen was gripping tightened even more at this moment.
She didn't want to be left behind by the person she loved so much.
"Although I'm from Donghuang, my hometown doesn't even have a zoo."
"I only saw a panda once, a long time ago, when my family took me on a trip."
"Unfortunately, it was also in the afternoon. They were lazily lounging around in the panda enclosure."
"Only a chubby, black-and-white figure stood facing us from behind."
Looking back now, I actually feel a little regretful.
Sincerely, the boy extended an invitation to the girl in front of him.
"To make up for the previous regrets, and to apologize for my inappropriate behavior of leaving you behind."
"Let's go see the pandas, together. No matter how long the queue is, I'll be with you, Lixi."
Mingming, that's enough for now.
But why did that clueless jerk have to add, "Should we call Su Shi and the others too?"
Miss Lixi opened the tin box and grabbed a handful of cookies.
That annoying mouth of hers doesn't understand girls' feelings.
It's better to keep it blocked now.

Chapter 90 The Illusion Before the End
The boy gently wiped away the tear stains on Miss Lixi's cheeks.
When the boy's thumb touched her cheek, she didn't flinch at all.
Her body leaned forward almost imperceptibly.
The boy's fingers left an even deeper tactile sensation on her beautiful cheeks.
But this time, when she looked at the boy in front of her with her purple eyes, he avoided her gaze.
In a brief moment, time seemed to shift, and the boy turned away unilaterally.
In the long queue, the two figures moved slowly with the flow of people.
Their hands were still clasped together.
But the boy had already relaxed his grip.
Instead, what forcefully maintained the connection between the two was Miss Lixi's increasingly forceful hand.
That increasingly obvious force, that increasingly obvious intention
At this moment, the boy finally confirmed it.
The noisy environment could not stop the boy's thoughts.
Miss Lixi's unusual behavior had already been revealed to Chen when they met at the Ring entrance.
