"Miss Liuli is now... very depressed..."

"What's wrong with her?" Atobe asked, frowning, listening to the anxious female voice on the phone.

"After hearing that Mrs. Matsunai was ill yesterday, something was wrong with her," Takahashi Ryoko told him in a low voice, covering the microphone, "Baoshu is also ill today, Miss Liuli is..."

She hesitated to speak, today's Matsunai Ruri is like a tightly stretched string, as if it will break if only a little more force is applied.

"I couldn't concentrate on my work at all, so I locked myself in the lounge," Ryoko Takahashi sighed unconsciously, "I also refused to see a psychiatrist, so I had to..."

Although Matsuuchi Ruri is gentle and amiable, she hides her thoughts very deeply. Takahashi knows very well that he and her are not close enough to tell each other their hearts.

She also went to the doctor in a hurry, always thinking that as her boyfriend (not) Keigo Atobe could enlighten Ruri, so she rashly interrupted her.

Thinking of Liuli crying until she couldn't breathe during the audition, he casually threw down the towel, told Michael to prepare the car, and walked out of the tennis court.

"You guys train first, I have something urgent to go out." Feeling the doubtful eyes cast by his teammates, Atobe turned his head and explained briefly, and quickened his pace.

Because of the loss in the preliminary round of the Kanto Competition, the unwilling Ice Emperor Zhengxuan resumed training today, and the amount of training has also doubled several times.

"I just heard from Uncle Michael," the housekeeper followed him to connect to the internal line, and Xiang Ri, who was close and eavesdropped, secretly told his partner, "Atobu is going to LME."

"LME, isn't Senior Matsuuchi's office?" Hijiruo thought for a while, then interrupted and asked.

"But it feels like a very serious matter." Renzu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "If I see Senior Matsuuchi, it will be embarrassing instead."

Because Matsuuchi Ruri left the field early, she didn't know the result of the game.If I met Atobe and asked this question, the picture would be unimaginable.

"Senior Hoshino and Matsuuchi-senpai have such a good relationship, you should know..." Hoshino Chotaro said uncertainly.

"You still don't understand," Shishido Ryo pressed the brim of his hat, "It's embarrassing whether you know it or not."

Seeing Keigo Atobe walking into the LME lobby, Mukai, the receptionist, was stunned for a few seconds and stopped him.

"...Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" Even though she was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and beauties in LME, the appearance of this young man in front of her still stunned her.

"Yes," Ryoko Takahashi stepped out of the elevator and trotted over on high heels, "Atobe-kun, please follow me."

"Oh..." The two front desk ladies nodded with subtle expressions.

"Hello, Miss Takahashi." Atobe nodded to her.

"Miss Liuli is on the third floor," she said a little faster than usual, "I locked myself in the personal lounge."

"Come here rashly, is it okay?" Atobe asked after observing the subtle look in the receptionist's eyes.

"As long as Miss Liuli doesn't mind..." After finishing speaking, Ryoko Takahashi realized what he wanted to ask, pressed the elevator up button, and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, both Mr. Manager and Mr. Takao don't mind Miss Liuli's handover." Boy friend."

"There are often children from rich families, like Master Daomingsi, who visit the office when they are bored. Last time, they fell asleep while Miss Liuli was playing the piano."

Not noticing Atobe's slight frown, she added empathetically, "The firm doesn't have a rule against dating, and her strength is strong enough, no one will care about such trivial details."

"Mr. Takao is..." His attention turned to the name.

"The producer of the new album is also Miss Liuli's current teacher," Ryoko Takahashi turned to look at him suspiciously, "Didn't she tell you?"

"No." Atobe answered concisely, suddenly feeling that he still knew too little about her.Except at school, they have almost no chance to meet each other.Especially in terms of work, I know almost nothing.

"It's not a very important matter," Ryoko Takahashi stepped out of the elevator, and did not forget to explain it to her, "It's here."

She took a step back consciously, out of the way.Atobe looked at the "Matsuuchi" on the door plate and knocked on the door.

Liuli still maintained the curled up posture, hugging herself tightly.She closed her eyes, thinking of nothing, very tired, but couldn't fall asleep anyway.

"Boom, boom, boom—" the sound of knocking on the door awakened Liuli, who was wandering in the sky.

"Miss Liangzi? Come in." She tilted her head, not wanting to open the door.

"It's me," Atobe raised his voice slightly, "Kego Atobe."

Hearing his voice, there was a joy in her heart that she didn't even notice. She pursed her lips slightly and went to open the door eagerly.

"Is there anything urgent for me?" Looking at the boy in sportswear, she frowned.

"Are you in a bad mood?" She grabbed his sleeve, glanced up and down, and asked again,

"I'm fine." He lowered his head, bent slightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat carefully, "it's you, with so much sweat on your forehead."

"I..." Liuli lowered her eyes halfway, and unconsciously increased her strength to pull on his sleeve, "Very good."

Atobe didn't expose it, and continued to wipe her sweat.

"Go in, it's hot outside." He put away his handkerchief, held her hand behind his back and walked into the lounge.

Looking at Matsuuchi Ruri who unconsciously relied on each other, Ryoko Takahashi, who was ignored, let out a long sigh of relief.

Gently put Liuli's mobile phone on the table by the door, closed the door for the two of them, and left with brisk steps.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Do you want tea, or a beverage?" Liuli broke away from Atobu's hand, walked to the refrigerator, looked at several rows of different beverages, and asked him rubbing his forehead.

He walked behind her, lowered his head and picked out a can of green tea.The two of them were very close, and when they turned their heads, they saw the faint blue color in her eyes.

Liuli looked at the different packages in the refrigerator with a lack of interest, scratching them with her fingers.

Putting the green tea into Liuli's hand, he took a can of black tea casually, "I drink tea."

"Why are you here?" Putting the juice in her hand on the coffee table, she sat opposite Atobe and rubbed her throbbing temples.

"Come to see you," Atobe observed her expression carefully, not hiding anything, "Miss Takahashi said you are not feeling well."

"Probably because I'm overthinking," she said as her temples twitched even more when she mentioned this, "Baoshu will have a full body checkup today, so of course my sister will be worried..."

"You're always like this," Atobe looked into her eyes firmly, "you carry everything by yourself, and you subconsciously reject other people's kindness."

"I..." No... She wanted to argue, but looked into his eyes but felt guilty for no reason.

"What is our relationship?" He asked bluntly.

What is the relationship between "we..."?Lucy asked herself.

who is he?do you like himWhat is your relationship?

He is Keigo Atobe.I do not like him.We are friends.

Really don't like it?So why are you happy just seeing him?

Liuli turned her head away in embarrassment, even she knew she was deceiving herself.

"We are friends, right?" Atobe got up and sat next to her, not noticing the flash of loneliness on her face.

"I know you're very upset, it's okay if you don't want to say it," he pulled Liuli into his arms, "As a friend, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on."

Although the tone is very domineering, the strength is not great.She raised her face quietly and saw the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Although he is still a young man, his shoulders are extremely reassuring.

She clearly warned herself to stay away from him, and clearly knew that if she went any further, her feelings would be completely out of control, but, extremely tired and confused, she couldn't help but want to rely on him——

Just this time, she told herself silently, just once.

Sunlight broke in through the gaps in the curtains, plating a layer of gold on the green leaves by the window.Atobe hugged her and stopped talking.

"I'm sorry," Liuli bit her lip, and after a few hesitations, she said guiltily, "I said something very exaggerated yesterday..."

The turmoil of the day yesterday made her almost forget the unpleasant conversation with Atobe Keigo.Seeing Atobe, those few words came to mind again.Thinking about it carefully, she knew how hurtful those words were, and she also regretted why she said such inappropriate things so suddenly.

"You know it too," he raised his hand on her back, and patted her on the top of her head, with unconscious doting in his tone, "It's good to know."

"Why are you so nice..." She muttered to herself, so nice that she didn't want to let him go.

"Senior Hoshino said," Atobe touched the tip of his hair and asked jokingly: "Only the best people are worthy of you, what do you think of me?"

His heartbeat was out of control in an instant, and Liuli clenched his sleeves tightly.

The little voice in my heart is urging: promise him, promise him——

But she didn't dare, she was afraid, afraid that Keigo Atobe would be retaliated by the system like Tezuka Kunimitsu.

It was really difficult, Atobe frowned, looking helplessly at the silent girl.He clearly knew that she was running away, but he couldn't bear to force her out of the shell.

"You're not happy today, are you?" The girl buried in his arms grabbed his sleeve and asked in a low voice.She could feel that the other party's mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"Yesterday," Atobe put his profile on Liuli's head and hugged her tighter, "We lost to Qingxue."

The runner-up of last year's Kanto competition was eliminated in the preliminary round this year.The dream of Keigo Atobe, the dream of Takehito Mukohido, and the dream of Ryo Shishido... were terminated prematurely this summer.

He hugged him tightly, Liuli couldn't see his expression, but could hear the loneliness and unwillingness in these words.

She broke away from Atobe's hand and stood up slowly.

"As a friend—"

Atobe looked at the girl in front of him standing in front of him, there seemed to be falling stars in her eyes, she bent down, getting closer and closer to him.The aroma of her hair lingered at the tip of her nose, and her long, cool hair brushed against her cheeks.It was as if she had been immobilized, and her eyes couldn't leave her face at all.

Liuli put her hands around his shoulders and hugged him.

The side face was pressed against her neck, and the delicate touch made his heart beat like a drum, and he could not move at all. The other party's voice was close at hand, yet seemed to be far away in the sky——

"I can lend you my shoulder..."

The author has something to say: Thank you little angel who still misses me!ok~
