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

After saying that, she turned around and put the remaining money in the box, along with some changes of clothes, into her backpack, and then left the rented room.

Walking along the roadside, Toyokawa Shoko felt an endless sense of bitterness and confusion in her heart.

She didn't understand why, even now, her father continued to hurt her again and again.

She didn't know how to continue her life.

She has absolutely no desire to go back to that rented apartment and wants to calm down outside for a few days.

But where can I go?

I only have tens of thousands of yen left, so a hotel is definitely out of the question.

She didn't want to go to her friend's house either, as she didn't want to cause trouble for others.

As she walked, she used her phone to search for places that were both cheap and relatively safe.

She looked at them one by one, but she wasn't very satisfied.

As she walked, she came to the vicinity of a bustling commercial street, surrounded by noisy crowds and dazzling signs.

She only glanced at it briefly before looking away.

With the little money I have, I might not even have enough for a meal at any of these restaurants.

She continued walking along the sidewalk until she reached a tram stop, where she saw Shirakawa Sawa waiting for the tram.

The other person also saw her.

For some reason, the moment her eyes met the other person's, she felt particularly wronged, and the emotions she had been suppressing began to surge uncontrollably.

When Shirakawa Sawa saw Toyokawa Shoko's lips suddenly clench tightly, then the corners of her mouth turn down, and tears begin to glisten in her eyes, he understood that she must have just gone through something, so he immediately went to meet her.

Upon reaching the other person, Shirakawa Ze spoke softly.

"Xiangzi."

Toyokawa Shoko pressed her lips tightly together, trying not to make a sound.

However, the surging emotions within her were too overwhelming for her to contain. Although she tried her best to remain silent, tears kept falling.

She didn't want it to be like this.

She originally thought she could hold back.

But when she saw someone she could trust, she realized her expectations were too optimistic.

She simply couldn't suppress her desire to confide in the other person.

Her heart urgently told her that she needed to express herself and let her emotions out.

This is a human instinct.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko like this, Shirakawa Sawa realized something serious must have happened, so he took out a tissue to wipe her tears and asked,

"Xiangzi, why don't you come sit at my place for a while?"

After all, the other party had been forcibly holding back, clearly not wanting to show anything in public and attract the attention of passersby.

So he didn't waste any more words and directly invited the other party to his home.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Shirakawa Ze didn't waste any words and directly hailed a taxi.

After arriving at his residence, he opened the door, let the other person go in first, and then went in himself, closing the door behind him.

Upon hearing the door close, Toyokawa Shoko could no longer hold back and burst into tears...

Volume 1: Chapter 135 Su Shi felt she had caught someone cheating

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko had started crying, Shirakawa Sawa quickly helped her to sit down on the sofa and then handed her a tissue.

The girl was crying so hard that she couldn't even utter a complete syllable for "thank you."

Shirakawa gently patted her back, telling her not to speak yet and to calm down first.

The more Toyokawa Shoko cried, the more aggrieved she felt, and she felt that no matter what she did, she could not get rid of the emotions in her heart.

She hugged her schoolbag, buried her head in it, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Shirakawa Ze, who was standing to the side, felt very sad when he saw the girl crying and unable to speak. However, he was also at a loss and could only sit silently to the side, waiting for her to calm down before speaking.

About ten minutes later, he sensed that Toyokawa Shoko's emotions had gradually calmed down and her crying had gradually stopped, so he got up, poured a glass of water, and placed it on the table in front of her.

After a while, seeing that the other person had completely stopped crying and still didn't look up, he finally spoke softly.

"Xiangzi, have some water."

Got no response.

The girl simply lay on the backpack in her arms, breathing evenly.

He spoke again.

"Xiangzi?"

Still no response.

At this point, Shirakawa was pretty sure that the other person was asleep.

He sighed softly, first supporting Toyokawa Shoko's armpits with his hands, then placing the schoolbag on the sofa. Next, he adjusted her position, supporting the back of her neck with his arm, and finally, with his other hand under her legs, he carried her to the bed in the bedroom.

After covering her with the blanket, Shirakawa Tsawa tiptoed out and closed the door.

Back in the living room, Shirakawa Sawa put the tissues that Toyokawa Shoko had used to wipe her tears into the trash can, and sighed inwardly, regretting turning the second bedroom into a storage room, which meant he now had to sleep on the sofa.

After he finished getting ready, he went to the balcony to get a set of clothes and then went to take a shower.

He had just gone inside when the doorbell rang in the living room.

However, due to the soundproofing of the two doors to the bathroom and shower, as well as the interference from the sound of the showerhead, he did not hear it.

The person who came in through the door was Nagasaki Motoyo.

Nagasaki Motoyo was not in a good mood at this time.

After school in the afternoon, the four members of the band got together, went to a karaoke bar to sing for a while, and then went out for a meal.

After finishing their meal, everyone went home.

It was only a little past 7 p.m.

She went home, intending to take a shower, change her clothes, and then go find Shirakawa Ze.

But when he got home, he found some guests had come and were talking to his mother.

There was nothing wrong with being here; after exchanging pleasantries with the guests, I could go about my business.

As a result, her mother suddenly had to go to the company, and then she couldn't leave and had to stay to greet the guests.

I was only able to get away after my mother returned just now.

So I quickly took a shower and came over, without even lighting the aromatherapy I had prepared.

After waiting at the door for a few minutes without any movement, Nagasaki Mosemi's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

So she rang the doorbell again and sent a message to Shirakawa Ze on her phone, asking if he was home.

There was still no movement inside, and no reply to messages.

This intensified her curiosity, while also causing a slight sense of unease to arise in her heart.

[Has something happened to Ze-jun?]

Light is coming through the window; the lights are clearly on inside.

If he's not home, he should be able to reply to my messages...

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. So she looked at the combination lock and decided to go in and check. After all, if something really happened to the other person, her actions would be more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.

After mentally preparing herself, she reached out and entered Gao Songdeng's birthday on the combination lock.

Hearing the "password correct" notification, she felt a slight sense of disappointment.

However, she didn't dwell on it and immediately turned the doorknob to open the door.

【Um? 】

She immediately spotted Toyokawa Shoko's black leather shoes next to the shoe cabinet.

However, because she rarely saw her, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't recognize whose shoes they were at this time.

But I know it's definitely not Takamatsu lamp.

She suddenly felt a sense of unease.

At the same time, a strange feeling arose.

【What's happening here? 】

[Isn't Shirakawa Sawa in the house?]

She glanced at the shoe cabinet and saw that all four members of her band had their own slippers.

She stood still and softly called out towards the bedroom.

"Zejun, are you home?"

No one responded...

A suspicion immediately formed in her mind. She quickly changed into slippers, walked briskly to the bedroom door, listened carefully, and found that there was no sound inside.

Is it not being done?

A few doubts arose in her mind.

Because the doors to Shirakawa's house are all made of solid wood, you can only tell whether the lights are on or off by looking through the cracks in the doors.

In addition, he had already finished showering and was drying himself and changing clothes, so there was no movement in the bathroom.

This led to Nagasaki Motoyo not noticing that there was someone in the other bathroom.
