In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, not at all like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Then she looked up at the boy in front of her, and after a second of eye contact, she felt that she could no longer suppress her emotions. She immediately got up and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears...

She no longer wants to think about anything; she just wants to forget everything and fully experience the present moment…

Volume 1: Chapter 119 Su Shi caught Xiao Xiang

After calming down a bit, Toyokawa Shoko released Shirakawa Sawa and looked up.

"Ze, thank you."

After saying that, she fell silent.

She really didn't know what else to say.

I dare not make any guarantees.

Given her current situation, she's already doing everything she can just to make ends meet.

Looking back on the past year, Toyokawa Shoko felt only bitterness.

Sometimes, when she could no longer bear it, she would wonder what would have happened if she had made a different choice when she left, but she never gave herself an answer.

She didn't want to give it, and she didn't dare to give it.

She got to where she is today by sheer willpower, and she can't let that will give up first.

Along the way, she declined almost everyone's help, except for Shirakawa Ze.

Because the other party offered such an easy way out, I felt no psychological burden when I accepted it.

Moreover, I do need more sources of income.

In addition, there was a guarantee from the other party that they would not disclose it to anyone.

She accepted the kindness.

She felt that she would be able to repay this favor once her situation improved.

But now, with the added debt of saving her life, she's starting to doubt whether she can ever repay it.

If it's just about discussing how the other person has helped you, then it's not so bad.

What she truly felt was difficult to repay was the other person's unwavering devotion and care for her.

This was something she didn't know how to respond to.

This level of thoughtfulness is something that even family members might not be able to do, let alone friends.

This pure kindness, untainted by self-interest or desire, completely disarmed her, leading her to decide to reciprocate with the same sincerity.

She continued to look into the other person's eyes and spoke softly.

"Ze, I'm sorry for all the hurtful things I said to you before..."

Shirakawa Sawa laughed.

Is saying sorry all you need to do?

Toyokawa Shoko lowered her eyes slightly, her face showing even more apology.

"I admit I didn't seriously consider some issues before, and I didn't take Ze's feelings into account..."

"I won't do that again..."

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight, so I can properly express my apologies..."

Shirakawa paused for a moment, then put on a thoughtful expression.

"They just treated me to lunch today, and they're having dinner with me again tonight..."

"Xiangzi's apology seems a bit perfunctory."

"When you can't express your gratitude, you treat me to a meal; when you need to apologize, you still treat me to a meal, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then replied seriously.

"I'm sorry, I can't think of a good way right now. I wonder if Ze has any suggestions?"

A smile appeared in Shirakawa's eyes.

"Any suggestions are welcome?"

Toyokawa Shoko's body tensed slightly, and her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt, wondering if she was about to reveal her true intentions.

This thought only flashed through my mind.

After such a long period of contact, she still trusted the other person's character.

So she nodded gently.

"I will do my best to do anything I can."

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"it is good."

"Then I demand that you take me out to play right now, and we both have to be happy before I'll consider it your apology."

Hearing this request from the other party, Toyokawa Shoko felt somewhat troubled.

She hasn't gone out to play for almost a year and has no idea what her peers like to do these days.

Moreover, she wasn't someone who particularly enjoyed going out, and she didn't know much about various entertainment options.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko hesitate, Shirakawa Sawa's eyes showed a hint of "I knew it" in them.

"If Xiangzi finds it too difficult, then I'll change my request..."

These words instantly ignited Toyokawa Shoko's competitive spirit; she immediately straightened her back, her eyes hardening.

"that's all!"

"Let's go now!"

Shirakawa nodded, then gestured to his T-shirt, which was stained with the other person's tears.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, watched the other person enter the bedroom, then got up and walked to the door to change her shoes, while thinking about where to take the other person to play later.

Just then she heard a familiar voice outside the door, but it wasn't as loud.

"Xiao Lena, go inside and get your guitar. I'll wait for you outside..."

Nagasaki Suyo!

Judging from what they said, it sounds like someone is about to come in.

Shoko Toyokawa was startled and immediately stopped changing her shoes.

Then she heard the sound of someone entering a password.

Someone is actually trying to come in!

How did she know the password to Shirakawa's house?

Isn't the other person's lover Takamatsu Akari?

In her panic, Toyokawa Shoko didn't have time to think about these things. She put her slippers back on and ran to the bedroom, intending to hide there first.

But it was too late. Nagasaki Motoyo, who had already opened the door, clearly saw her back.

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment.

"???"

She wondered if she was hallucinating.

"!!!"

That's right! This is Xiao Xiang!

Her pupils contracted slightly, and she immediately called out.

"Xiao Xiang!"

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then stopped and stood still, but did not turn around.

Now that we've been seen, there's no need to hide anymore.

After all, she couldn't shake him off right now.

Nagasaki Motoyo hurriedly entered the room, not even bothering to change her shoes, and ran over barefoot.

Seeing the girl she had been longing for so close at hand, and knowing that the environment would ensure she wouldn't run away like before and would listen to her properly, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment.

"Xiao Xiang..."

She stopped a few steps away from him, spoke again in a trembling voice, tears glistening in her eyes.

At this moment, Shirakawa Ze, who was in the bedroom, also heard the commotion outside. He withdrew his hand from the door and sat down in a chair.

Shoko Toyokawa gritted her teeth, then turned to look at Motoyo Nagasaki, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"In that case, let's make things clear."

"This day was bound to come eventually."

"Su Shi, I don't know what your purpose is in bringing those people from CRCHIC back together."

"I don't know if you keep coming to me through various means to show off or to mock me."

"But from now on, please don't come looking for me anymore, okay?"

"We all have our own lives, and please respect each other's lives."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing Toyokawa Shoko's words, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood her.

She remembered that Shirakawa had mentioned this issue to her before, but she hadn't paid attention to it at the time.
