Tomori, You Sure Know How to Surprise Me

"Rikki, don't do anything foolish. This is my advice as a friend... At the same time, as your rival, I don't want you to do anything that would hurt Riki, because he likes you too," said Toyokawa Sakiko.

Looking at the composed Sakiko, Shiina Riki couldn't help but ask, "So many times, have you always carried this alone... Aren't you afraid?"

"Rikki, I've been scared all along."

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at Rikki and said softly, "But as long as I can still see Riki, I will not give up waiting. Even if I'm scared, I will wait because I believe in Riki."

For a moment, Shiina Riki felt that it was perfectly normal for Sakiko to like Riki, which made her feel ashamed of herself.

Sakiko has experienced this painful thing four times already.

You're so strong.

Shiina Riki returned to her room, picked up the sleeping pills from the table, and threw them into her sister's room.

"I took the wrong vitamins, here they are!"

"Rikki, you hit me in the face!"

Shiina Riki collapsed onto the bed, her eyes red-rimmed, Panda Pendant in her hand, whispering, "You have to come back."

At this moment, the former Crychic members were all thinking the same thing.

Except for Takamatsu Akari, who was with Riki.

Riki's situation is dire; Riki has made a series of blunders; Riki is locked in a bitter battle; Riki's defeat is inevitable; Riki delivers his victory speech.

No one expected that Riki, a beautiful high school girl, would win first place in the preliminary round.

Of course, the most important thing wasn't that Lu Yi got first place in the preliminary round, but that damn Riki had a beautiful high school girl who never looked at the audience or judges once on stage, and kept looking at Riki the whole time!

No one can defeat a beautiful girl, unless she's a beautiful girl who only has eyes for you.

To avoid being swarmed by excited fans, Hoshino Riki had to leave via a side path, and then took the opportunity to pick out the prizes for the preliminary round.

"Choose." The young student council member glared at Riki, but became shy when he saw Takamatsu Akari.

Little Chunan is so captivated by the beautiful girl that he can't move, right?

Excuse me, the light belongs to my... oops, to our Mygo's beautiful girl.

I almost said the wrong thing again.

Riki looked at the dazzling array of prizes. After all, this was the National Music Competition, known as the Number One Music Competition in the World, and there were indeed many good items. For example, there was a 2:1 scale Titanfall BT model, the luster and texture of which were breathtaking; there was also an unopened, 1.5-meter-tall, super cool, gold-plated Xuanyuan Sword; and why was there the principal's handwritten signature in calligraphy next to it? Who put the draft paper in the prize?

Riki suddenly paused, pointed to the thing in front of her, and said, "I'll take this."

"Okay, I'll register you. What name?"

"Lu Shen."

"Riki, okay."

Takamatsu Akari was staring intently at the prize when she saw Riki walk up to her.

"Deng, you deserve nine-thirds of the credit for today's performance... so, here's a gift for you." Riki handed over a pitted black stone. Although it didn't look particularly striking, its shape was so distinctive that almost anyone on Earth could tell it was a meteorite.

Takamatsu Akari was stunned. She had only ever seen such a large meteorite in museums, and she never expected that someone would give her something like this.

"Aren't meteorites just like stars in the sky?" Riki laughed, handing over two palm-sized meteorites and saying, "Here's a star for you, Lamp."

Wait, why do I feel like Lu Tianming gave away a star?

Will I be captured by the Three-Body Problem in the future?

I will hide within the Three-Body Problem society to secretly protect Earth.

As Riki was thinking, Takamatsu Akari finally snapped out of his reverie, grabbed Riki's hand, looked up at Riki happily, and said, "Riki, thank you."

You can thank me, but could you please let go of my hand?

Why don't you just bring the meteorite?

Takamatsu Akari's hands are slender and soft to the touch, making it hard to let go.

"Let's go home," Riki said, patting her head.

After returning home, Riki changed her clothes and came out to find Takamatsu Akari cooking. She asked in surprise, "Deng, what are you doing?"

"I made Riki's favorite dishes to thank you," Takamatsu Akari said.

How did you know what I like?

Takamatsu Akari took out his phone and said, "Riki's mother told me."

When did you two start contacting each other?!

"What did you all talk about?" Riki asked quickly.

Takamatsu Akari thought for a moment and said, "Riki's mother asked me when I plan to get married and how many children I want. If we want to buy a house, we can tell her."

Damn it, I almost begged on my knees for 100 yuan of pocket money in high school. If you want a lamp, you can just say so, right?

Mom, you don't actually think of the lamp as your daughter-in-law, do you?

Actually, your daughters-in-law are someone else entirely, so don't worry!

"Also, Riki's mother seems to have just sent some things by express delivery, saying we should use them as soon as possible." Takamatsu Akari took out a small box and asked curiously, "Riki, what's this?"

0.01.

The numbers on the box silenced Riki.

Mom, you really like lamps! Why don't you take a look at Sakiko first?

That's your most authentic daughter-in-law!

"Um, these are balloons, you can put the light away first..." Riki quickly said.

This is still too early for Takamatsu Akari.

I can't get in, I simply can't get in.

Takamatsu Akari nodded obediently. Riki's mother spoke to her patiently and gently. Seemingly casually, she asked about the band. Takamatsu Akari then told Riki's mother about Su Shi and Rikki from the band, as well as Sakiko and He Mu, who were close to Riki. They were all Riki's good friends.

After that, for some reason, Riki's mother's tone became a little strange.

But isn't it a good thing that everyone gets along well?

Although Riki's mother is a good person, I still don't understand what she's thinking.

Takamatsu Akari placed the tiny 0.01 boxes in Riki's bedside table, then noticed Riki's phone ringing. He tilted his head and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Riki?!" came Shiina Riki's anxious voice from the other end, and it seemed that Sakiko and the others could also be heard.

"Rikki- chan?" Takamatsu Akari asked curiously, "Why are you all in such a hurry?"

"A lamp?" Shiina Riki paused, her tone seemingly relaxed yet complicated, before quickly asking to confirm, "Where are you now?"

"Me?" Takamatsu Akari looked down and said, "I'm in Riki's bed right now."

The other end of the phone went silent instantly, and there was no sound for a long time.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Takamatsu Akari asked.

"No, it's nothing... It must be some misunderstanding on our end. What were you doing on Riki's bed, Deng? It's probably best not to go into boys' rooms so casually," Shiina Riki stammered.

"It's not nothing," Takamatsu Akari shook his head and said, "Riki asked me to get this small box, it looks like a balloon...it says 0.01 on it."

On the bed, condoms, a lone man and a lone woman.

Shiina Riki could barely contain her anger.

Riki, you actually dared to attack the lamp!

Riki won first place in the preliminary round and was happily humming a song, planning to have a nice dinner that night. Just as she reached her room door, she overheard Takamatsu Akari's phone call and fell silent instantly.

Damn it, light, spare my life!

Stop talking.

Chapter 150 The Lamp, You Really Know How to Surprise Me

"Light, let me speak."

Sweating profusely, Riki took the phone from Takamatsu Akari, who obediently handed it to her, and tentatively asked, "Hello... um, can you hear me?"

I'm a little nervous.

She almost became like Ruoziyin.

"I can hear you." Shiina Riki's indifferent voice came from the side, and Sakiko's voice could be faintly heard from the side, "It must be Rikki who has misunderstood."

As expected of the Riki's First Wife, Rikki, look how well Sakiko understands me.

We men of Haicheng have always adhered to the standards of being chaste, living a slow and leisurely life, and loving only one person in our lifetime.

It's just that Riki's pure love vehicle is a modern four-wheel drive.

Just as Riki was about to explain, she heard Shiina Riki's soft voice. "Riki, are you alright?"

"It's a bit lonely without everyone here," Riki said with a smile.

"Then come back soon."

"OK."

On the other end of the phone came Nagasaki Sose's urging voice. "Don't say useless things, talk about something that everyone cares about."

Nagasaki Sose, you're going a bit too far. Rikki, such a Tsundere person, is showing concern for me, and you won't even let her finish speaking?

No wonder you always get so easily upset by Sakiko in the anime, you're so jealous, aren't you?

One can only say that this person's mindset is worthy of her suffering.

Shiina Riki's tone softened as she finished speaking, then suddenly turned cold. "Now can you explain why the lamp is in your room, and why you're carrying that thing?"

I'm sorry, Su Shi, but your thoughts are correct and insightful.

How about we talk about the Tsundere Rikki?

Riki pondered for a moment, then walked seven steps around the room... without coming up with anything.

What was Cao Zhi saying back then? Something about him planting a loquat tree, and Sun Wukong stealing its ginseng fruit...?

Calm down, calm down!

Riki explained slowly, "The lamp was just helping me put my things back."

"Then why that box? Didn't you buy it?" Shiina Riki said calmly. No one spoke on her end, but Riki could imagine that everyone on the other end was listening intently.

Sakiko, even you don't believe me?!

Are you listening so attentively?

"No, my mom bought it," Riki explained.

"Mom..." Shiina Riki paused for a moment, and could vaguely hear the three people on the other side also say "Mom" in surprise.

It's a bit early, but it's certainly okay for her to call for her mother.

"Hey, don't grab it..."

Shiina Riki's annoyed voice came from the other end, followed quickly by Nagasaki Sose's gentle voice. "Is Mom home? I'd like to talk to her and introduce myself. I'm Riki's first love..."

Nagasaki Sose, you're really something, you can just spout lies like that.

My first love was Mai-senpai and Sakiko; you are my second love.

"Sister Sose Su, don't put any more in your bowl, my mom isn't home," Riki said.
