'Who understands that phrase, "You are the best fireworks!" I've watched it ten times! Tendo-Caroline shippers are winning so hard!'
'Tendo-Xing shippers are crying! Production team, you have no heart!'
'Wait a minute! Isn't Caroline supposed to have amnesia? Why did she show no resistance just now? Selective amnesia confirmed!'
'Stop dwelling on the amnesia! Didn't you see she didn't refuse when Tendo held her hand? This is a two-way street!'
'The progress bar is past one-third! The concert plot is finally starting! The Star Frost Faction better not cause trouble!'
Watching the scene in the movie where Tendo actively took Caroline's hand, the Tendo-Caroline shippers were ecstatic, while the Tendo-Xing shippers felt like the sky was falling.
Seriously, if they keep this up, where does Xingxing even have a chance?
On the road leaving the amusement park, the streetlights stretched the shadows of the three individuals.
Jing Liuli skipped ahead, shaking the newly bought jellyfish hair clip. The small lights on the clip blinked, reflecting on her innocent face, making her completely oblivious to the subtle atmosphere between the two behind her.
Not far behind, Caroline's hand was held by Tendo. She looked expressionless, but dimensional viewers familiar with her knew the truth.
Caroline's heart was definitely not as calm as her surface suggested.
Given her personality, if she were truly honest about not recalling much of her memory of Tendo, she would have shaken his hand off long ago.
And the reality was exactly that; Tendo's phrase, "You are the best fireworks," was like a small stone tossed into the lake of her heart, leaving the rational and calm her unable to find peace.
She knew her time was like a borrowed hourglass, with every second slipping away, yet she couldn't help but covet this warmth at this moment. She even selfishly wished they could just keep walking like this forever.
"Liuli, slow down, there are steps ahead."
Tendo's sudden voice pulled Caroline's thoughts back to reality.
However, the 'rebellious' Jing Liuli not only failed to slow down but actually ran faster upon hearing Tendo. She was clearly doing it on purpose to contradict him.
You want me to slow down?
Hehe, then I'll speed up!
Seeing Liuli's mischief, Tendo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers subtly moved.
"Ouch!"
There was clearly nothing in front of Jing Liuli, yet she stumbled as if tripped by something invisible, falling sprawling into the coral hedge by the roadside. Her jellyfish hair clip flew off and got caught in a shrub branch, and two tender green leaves were stuck in her hair.
"See? I told you to slow down, but you didn't listen."
Tendo walked over with Caroline, his face wearing a mischievous grin.
He was clearly amused by Liuli's embarrassment.
Liuli picked herself up awkwardly, dusted the grass off her skirt, and glared angrily at Tendo.
"Tendo! You played a trick again!"
The reason she fell was because her body was suddenly controlled by some kind of invisible force field.
And among everyone present, only Tendo's Vector Control had that ability.
But in the face of Liuli's accusation, Tendo merely chuckled. "Me playing a trick? Liuli, do you have proof? Don't make false accusations."
Proof?
Liuli looked at the smug Tendo and realized this guy was banking on the invisible nature of 'Vector Control.' Where was she supposed to find proof?!
But to deal with a guy like Tendo, you can't play by his rules.
"Caroline! Discipline Tendo! This guy is totally lawless!"
"He can secretly scheme against me today, and he can secretly scheme against you tomorrow. We need to present a united front!"
However, Liuli clearly underestimated the difficulty of forming an alliance with Caroline.
After all, with Tendo present, Jing Liuli was the 'outsider.'
Caroline suppressed a laugh, pulled a tissue from her bag, and gently wiped the grass off Liuli's face. She said gently, "Liuli, I didn't sense any Star Source usage just now, so you can't just accuse people like that."
"Maybe you were just running too fast and didn't see where you were going?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Liuli stared at Caroline with wide eyes, as if she'd heard something outrageous. Her chest heaved with indignation.
Is there no justice, no law left?
She's already defending her 'husband' while still 'suffering from amnesia.' What's going to happen when she gets her memory back?!
But before Liuli could demand an explanation, Tendo continued to rub salt in the wound.
"Liuli, Caroline is right. How can you slander someone's innocence for no reason? Just apologize to me. Apologize, and I'll forgive you."
Jing Liuli: "..."
Apologize?
I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize!
"I'm not friends with you two anymore!"
Liuli angrily spun around and ran toward the pedestrian street not far away without looking back.
But she slowed down after only a few steps, then secretly hid behind an Oden stall, peering around the corner to see if the two were following her.
When she saw them still standing there laughing, she immediately puffed out her cheeks, then asked the vendor for a serving of Oden for herself, deliberately excluding the two bad guys.
However, Jing Liuli's temper flared up quickly and faded just as fast.
Just as she received her Oden and happily started eating, Tendo and Caroline walked over.
Seeing them, Liuli immediately said cheerfully, "Tendo, Caroline, you guys have to try this. It's so delicious~"
"Is that so?"
Caroline smiled, then asked the vendor for two servings.
A moment later, Tendo came back holding two bowls of broth, handing one to Caroline.
"Be careful, it's hot. I picked one without scallions for you."
Then, Tendo turned to Liuli and placed a skewer of freshly boiled fishballs by her bowl.
"This is for you. No spice."
At Tendo's gesture of goodwill, Liuli suddenly remembered she had been 'tricked' by him and immediately retorted stubbornly, "Who wants your fishballs!"
Despite her words, Liuli's hand was honest, and she happily picked up the fishball and popped it into her mouth.
Caroline couldn't help but smile watching their interaction. She scooped a spoonful of the broth. The warm liquid slid down her throat, giving her a long-lost feeling of 'ease.'
Watching this heartwarming scene that resembled a 'family of three,' the bullet comments on the 13th Station were unusually harmonious.
'I'm telling you, Tendo and Meow Meow (Caroline) are a match made in heaven.'
'Is this the sweetness of the Stars's strongest couple? Not bad~'
'Delicious, love it, bring more.'
But just like in Season One, many of Stars's crucial foreshadowings were hidden within these seemingly ordinary daily moments.
Because the more ordinary and habitual things are, the easier they are to overlook.
After all, people only truly cherish what they once had after they lose it.
