"..."

Upon hearing this, Ayashiro Yukio couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that Nakamichi Kazushi's words reminded him of some unpleasant past events, and his expression became gloomy and uncertain.

"If she really wants to get back together with you, given her stubborn personality, it would be difficult for her to change her mind easily."

After a moment of hesitation, he spoke slowly, his voice filled with emotion and helplessness: "I remember one time, we went out for fun together and passed by that abandoned factory. The factory's outer wall was mottled, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. It looked dangerous at first glance. But when Yumi saw it, she was like a possessed person and insisted on going in to explore."

He paused slightly, his Adam's apple rolling, as if he was struggling to swallow a mouthful of bitter and fearful memories, "We took turns to persuade her, saying all kinds of good and bad things, but she seemed to have blocked her ears and couldn't listen to a word."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and even a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Sure enough, when we were inside, the old floor suddenly collapsed. If we hadn't reacted quickly and pulled her back in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Thinking back to that expedition, even though time had passed and things had changed, he still felt a little scared, and his hands trembled unconsciously, as if that terrible experience had left an indelible mark on him.

"However, running away is definitely not a solution. We must summon up the courage to face it. If we just avoid it, the problem will not disappear on its own. It will only snowball and grow bigger. The longer we delay, the harder it may be to resolve. In the end, it may even get out of control to the point where it cannot be reversed."

Ayashiro Noriko then said, "Yeah, Kazushi, why are you doing this? If you had confessed earlier, maybe things could have turned around. Now the more you hide things, the more trouble you're causing. Aren't you dragging everyone into this?"

There was a hint of complaint in her tone, like a close friend who was disappointed in his friend, but more of it was deep concern. She looked at Nakamichi and Zhi with eyes full of worry, as if water could drip out of them.

We are all old classmates and had wanted to have a happy gathering together, but this incident made them upset and a good gathering turned into a mess.

However, although she somewhat blamed Zhongdao and Zhi for ruining the atmosphere of the party and making them feel a little unhappy, she didn't want to blame him too much.

After all, no matter what, Nakamichi and Zhi were her old classmates for many years, and it was not entirely their fault that things had turned out like this.

Nakamichi Kazushi opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be blocked, and after a while he uttered a dry and choked voice: "I... I was really panicked at the time, and my mind was full of thoughts about not letting this matter leak out, and I didn't think about it at all. I thought I could handle it quietly, but I didn't expect it to end up in such a mess. I... I'm sorry to everyone."

As he spoke, his eyes became red again, and tears as big as beans rolled down. He seemed to have lost the last bit of strength and collapsed to the ground...

When Yukio Ayashiro heard Nakamichi Kazushi's crying, the gloom on his face eased a little. He sighed, squatted down, and gently patted his shoulder. There was a hint of helplessness and comfort in his tone: "Kazushi, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Things have already happened. The most important thing now is how to solve it, rather than dwelling on past mistakes."

Ayashiro Noriko also squatted down, her eyes full of sympathy: "Yes, Kazushi, we all understand your situation at that time. But now, you have to cheer up, everyone will help you together, maybe we can find a solution."

Nakamichi Kazushi raised his head, looked at everyone with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "But I really don't know what to do... Yumi is too stubborn and won't listen to my advice. If she really makes a big deal out of this, my life will be over..."

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips, moved closer, and whispered to comfort him: "Uncle Nakamichi, don't worry. Although Aunt Yumi is stubborn, she is not unreasonable. We can try to have a good talk with her and explain the seriousness of the matter to her. People are all made of flesh and blood. As long as we treat each other sincerely, she will definitely understand."

"Yes, we can try to have a good talk with Yumi." Ayashiro Noriko took over the conversation. "After all, you have been friends for many years and have been through so many ups and downs together. I think Yumi definitely doesn't want to completely mess up your future because of her momentary impulse. As long as we explain the cause and effect of the matter calmly and clearly, I believe she will understand. She is not an unreasonable person."

When Nakamichi Hezhi heard these words, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by deep worry. His brows were tightly knitted together, his face was full of anxiety, and his voice trembled slightly: "But...what if she doesn't understand? What if she does something impulsive and extreme in a fit of rage, what should I do? By then, my life and my future will be ruined."

As he spoke, his hands unconsciously clenched together, veins bulging on the back of his hands, as if he was desperately grasping at the little remaining hope.

Ayashiro Yukio frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, when Yumi wakes up, we'll have a good talk with her and explain the whole story to her. If she still doesn't understand and insists on pestering you, then we'll find a way to take some necessary measures to prevent things from getting worse."

In this kind of situation, being passive and waiting for death is definitely not a good idea. You must take the initiative.

Otherwise, the situation will only develop in a worse direction. In the end, not only will Nakamichi Hezhi, the person involved, be trapped in the quagmire of pain, but even other people related to him will be dragged into this unprovoked disaster and completely swallowed up by the abyss of pain...

"Necessary measures?" Nakamichi Kazushi frowned and looked at Ayashiro Yukio in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't quite understand what the necessary measures his old classmate meant.

Ayashiro Yukio nodded, his eyes showing a hint of determination: "For example, we can arrange a suitable time for your fiancée and Yumi to meet. They can talk things out face to face and put forward their respective ideas and positions honestly. Perhaps only in this way can Yumi more intuitively and clearly realize the seriousness of the matter and the serious consequences that her actions may bring."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was imagining the scene of their meeting in his mind. "Being honest with each other may not necessarily resolve all conflicts and restore everything to its original state, but it can at least prevent things from developing in a worse direction and leave us some room to save the situation."

"This……"

Zhongdao Hezhi bit his lip, feeling very conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that this method was too risky. If the conflict escalated after the two women met, the consequences would be disastrous. On the other hand, he really couldn't think of a better solution, and it seemed that he could only try his best.

Thinking of this, he sighed, with a bit of helplessness and fatigue in his voice: "Well, this is the only way to try, I hope everything goes well." "But, I'm really scared..."

There was a tremor in his voice, which was the fear of the unknown outcome.

"It's normal to be afraid."

Noriko Ayashiro patted his shoulder gently, her movements were gentle and full of comfort, "But we are all by your side and will accompany you to face it together. No matter what happens, we will not give up on you."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Nakamichi Kazushi's eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Thank you, really, thank you. I really don't know what I would do without you."

"Don't say that. We are friends, and it's my duty to help you."

Ayashiro Yukio and Ayashiro Noriko looked at each other and smiled. "After all, friends are there to lend a helping hand when the other needs it most. Sharing happiness and hardships together, this is true friendship."

"Besides, as long as we can solve the problem and get everything back on track, it will be better than anything else."

Nakamichi Kazushi's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously. His throat seemed to be choked by something, and his voice was slightly choked: "I understand, I will try my best to face it. No matter what the result is, I will take my responsibility and no longer escape."

He raised his head. At this moment, his eyes no longer had the panic and escape of the past, but a hint of determination, as if after groping in the darkness for a long time, he finally found a direction to move forward.

"That's good." Ayashiro Yukio nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his tone, "We all know that it has been difficult for you recently, but running away is never the solution to a problem. Only by facing it bravely can you truly find a way out."

Ayashiro Noriko also continued: "Yes, Kazushi, no matter what happens, we will face it with you. As long as we all work together, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

Nakamichi Hezhi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a bitter smile on his face: "I know, I know you are all doing this for my own good. I... I am really grateful. In fact, I have always regretted it. If I had confessed earlier, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble."

His words were full of regret, as if he was deeply repenting for his past self, or as if he was regretting other things.

"It's not too late to confess now!" Ayashiro Noriko looked at him sincerely, with encouragement in her eyes. "Although Yumi has a stubborn personality, she is our old friend after all. I believe she will not be unreasonable. I also believe that the kindness deep in her heart will make her make the right choice and she will not let us down."

A complex emotion flashed in Nakamichi Kazushi's eyes: "I know that Yumi... has always been a very kind person, but sometimes she is too impulsive. I hope that this time she can understand my difficulties and everyone's good intentions."

Ayashiro Yukio nodded: "We will also try our best to help persuade her. After all, no one wants to ruin their friendship over the years because of this incident."

"yes……"

Noriko Ayashiro added, with a hint of emotion and nostalgia in her voice, "We are all old friends who have known each other for many years. We have so many memories of the past. How can we forget and give up so easily because of a momentary conflict?"

This friendship is their precious treasure. How could she be willing to watch it destroyed?

A touch of emotion flashed in Nakamichi Kazushi's eyes, and he nodded gently: "Don't worry, I...I will work hard, not only for everyone, but also for myself, for my life and future that I almost ruined with my own hands. I will definitely cherish this opportunity to make up for it."

"That's right!" Ayashiro Yukio patted his shoulder, his tone was a little relaxed, "Now that we have decided, let's act together. Let's make a plan first, and then we will implement it step by step after Yumi wakes up."

Nakamichi Hezhi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination: "Okay, let's do it. I believe that with you by my side, we can definitely solve this problem."

Mao Lilan blinked her bright eyes and said seriously: "Uncle Nakamichi, let's take advantage of the fact that everyone is here now and think about the location and time of the meeting. We need to find a quiet and comfortable place so that everyone can talk things out calmly without being disturbed by the outside world."

She tilted her head slightly, her cute look showing the agility and playfulness of a young girl, and continued, "Also, should we prepare some small gifts in advance to ease the atmosphere? Maybe it will make Aunt Yumei feel better when she meets that aunt."

Mao Lilan's proposal was full of the delicate thoughts of a young girl. She not only took into account the environment and atmosphere, but also thought of using small gifts to soothe the emotions. It was very considerate. Hearing this, Ayashiro Yukio's eyes lit up and he praised her endlessly: "Xiaolan, your idea is really good! It would be great to find a tea room with a quiet environment. The aroma of tea can make people relax. As for the gift, pick a bouquet that Yumi likes, and choose a box of exquisite snacks for Mr. Nakamichi's fiancée. This way, you can express your feelings without being too deliberate."

Ayashiro Noriko nodded in agreement and continued, "However, before the meeting, we still have to communicate with Yumi in advance. We can't let them meet rashly. We should first explain the pros and cons of the matter to her tactfully so that she can be mentally prepared. This way, there will be fewer conflicts when they meet."

Ayashiro Yukio then said, "Yes, first find a chance to have a good talk with Yumi and try to convince her to give up. If that doesn't work, then consider asking Nakamichi's fiancée to come forward. This way, we can take a steady approach and ensure that things will develop in a good direction."
