Chapter 19: Become Your Wings

“What?”

Qin Huan really didn’t know about this.

After all, Ju Zhenli only told her to reveal her name, but didn’t say anything else.

However, she herself hadn’t revealed Ju Zhenli’s name either.

After all, Ju Zhenli said that this was a favor Guchuan Xing owed her.

Qin Huan still didn’t want to rely too much on Ju Zhenli’s help, so she would try to solve things on her own as much as possible.

“Ah, Chuanzi, you really don’t know?”

Zuo Xi obviously didn’t expect Qin Huan to be so naive, starting a band without understanding anything.

“Chuanzi, I still have to ask—how did you come up with the idea of forming a band?”

Zuo Xi’s expression was quite serious.

“I’ve had a dream of forming a band since I was a child.”

Qin Huan used the same excuse she had given Ju Zhenli.

After all, she couldn’t very well say it was because she had gotten addicted to watching band anime in her previous life.

“Chuanzi, I’m willing to support your dream! I’ll become your wings!”

Zuo Xi turned around and grabbed Qin Huan’s hands, her eyes sparkling.

Supporting her only fan’s dream really filled her with motivation!

Looking at the motivated Zuo Xi in front of her, Qin Huan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

‘Sorry, Xi Jiang, but the ultimate goal of forming the band is to conquer you…’

But she could only think about it in her head.

After all, if she couldn’t complete the conquest of the first heroine within three months, this world would be ruled by lewdness.

[Qin Huan, you’ve finally recognized your task meow]

Miao Heavenly Emperor was quite relieved.

It finally felt that everything was on track meow.

Ju Zhenli’s conquest progress had stabilized, and Zuo Xi’s conquest progress was about to start making progress.

It hadn’t misjudged Qin Huan meow!

[However, Qin Huan, you need to be careful meow. Zuo Xi’s Golden Finger is in an unactivated state, so don’t give her too much stimulation meow]

[If she receives a big shock and activates her Golden Finger meow, your current conquest of her will have to restart from the beginning meow]

What?

This Golden Finger is way too overpowered!

It can even reset conquest progress?

[Qin Huan, use your own judgment. For now, Su Lingling is still stable and not doing anything strange meow]

Miao Heavenly Emperor was actually doing work?

This moved Qin Huan greatly, but she still didn’t feel any joy.

She couldn’t show a good face to Miao Heavenly Emperor!

“Xi Jiang, thank you meow!”

Qin Huan directly hugged Zuo Xi.

Was there anything more capable of buying someone’s heart than a cute girl’s hug?

If there was, it could only be the simultaneous hug of two cute girls.

“Chuanzi, you…”

Zuo Xi didn’t expect Qin Huan to be so direct.

But thinking that this was her own fan, what else could she do?

She could only spoil her.

“Chuanzi, what’s your name? We’ve been talking for so long, but I still don’t know your real name?”

“Qin Huan.”

Zuo Xi felt the name was a bit familiar, as if she had seen it on the school forum, but she couldn’t recall which specific post it was.

“My name is Zuo Xi, and I’ll be your wings from now on!”

Zuo Xi said something super chuunibyou.

It was so embarrassing that even she wanted to curl her toes, but for the sake of her fan, it was all worth it!

Zuo Xi, you see, is actually an idol who spoils her fans a lot.

But after learning Chuanzi’s real name, how should she address her?

Call her Huanzi?

No, no, that would be too cringe!

Better to call her Qin Huan.

After all, she’s her first fan, so she should remember her name well.

“Qin Huan, what do you like to eat?”

Zuo Xi pushed Qin Huan away and turned her head.

She could no longer treat Chuanzi like an online friend.

Standing in front of Chuanzi now was—

The super cold, unapproachable, naturally beautiful idol Zuo Xi!

No longer the Xixi from the internet who used a chibi husky avatar.

“Xi Jiang, you decide!”

Qin Huan put on a cute cat giving flowers expression, tilting her head with a faint smile.

If she were holding a rose in her hand and had the subtitle “Going online just to meet you” underneath, it would be perfect.

“Follow me.”

Zuo Xi walked ahead alone, not taking the initiative to hold Qin Huan’s hand.

Qin Huan was a bit confused.

What’s wrong with Zuo Xi?

Why did she change so much after learning her real name?

She decided to use Cat Power to see what was going on.

[Zuo Xi, you are currently an idol who hasn’t started performing yet. You must stay cold and aloof. Maintain the contrast between on-stage and off-stage, and the fans will definitely like it.]

Qin Huan blinked.

Was Zuo Xi putting on a tsundere persona?

Didn’t she only have one fan—her?

Xi Jiang was really dedicated.

In time, Zuo Xi like this would definitely become a great idol.

Zuo Xi led Qin Huan through winding alleys and finally entered a ramen shop that wasn’t very large.

The shop owner nodded at Zuo Xi, indicating that Zuo Xi was a regular here.

Zuo Xi casually chose a corner seat and simply ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen.

Qin Huan said she would have the same as Zuo Xi.

“Xi Jiang.”

Qin Huan turned sideways, propping her chin with her hand and tilting her head to look at Zuo Xi.

“Do you come here often?”

Zuo Xi lightly nodded.

“After school.”

“Mm~”

Qin Huan intentionally dragged out the tone.

She was quite experienced with fake tsunderes like Zuo Xi—all she had to do was keep pestering her.

“Then we can come here to eat after rehearsals too.”

Zuo Xi didn’t react, looking quite cold and aloof.

Outwardly, Qin Huan remained calm, but she actually glanced at Zuo Xi every now and then, while putting on a naive smile that said, “Being able to eat with an idol is really such happiness.”

But Zuo Xi’s status panel was as still as stagnant water, with no movement at all.

Other than the affection level increasing from 40 to 70 when they first met, there was no change.

The ramen arrived.

Qin Huan shouted energetically, “I’m digging in!”

After all, in front of Zuo Xi, she had a genki girl persona, and she couldn’t break character.

One of Qin Huan’s thousand-layer schemes: use different personas for different heroines, and apply the remedy according to the case.

However, Zuo Xi’s manner of eating was quite beautiful, clearly carefully designed.

“Um, Xi Jiang.”

Qin Huan’s tone was soft.

“Thank you for treating me to a meal today and telling me so much.”

“Xi Jiang, actually, in real life, I don’t have many friends…”

Currently, Qin Huan indeed didn’t have many friends.

Only Ju Zhenli and Su Lingling could be considered friends.

As for Miao Heavenly Emperor?

Miao Heavenly Emperor wasn’t human, so of course it couldn’t count as a friend.

But Qin Huan didn’t really care. Her energy was already fully occupied by dealing with Ju Zhenli.

Ju Zhenli was just too clingy.

If she hadn’t used forming a band as an excuse, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to get out today.

But Zuo Xi seemed to care a lot about Qin Huan not having friends.

“Qin Huan…”

Zuo Xi seemed to want to comfort her.

Just then, Qin Huan’s phone vibrated twice.

She took out her phone and saw that Guchuan Xing had accepted her friend request and sent a message.

[Who goes there?]
