After a long silence, Nagasaki Motoyo heard the other person take a deep breath.

Her heart leaped into her throat, and she immediately put the words "I'm sorry" on her lips, ready to utter them at any moment.

After a while, Gao Songdeng's voice came through the phone again.

"Su Shi... I'm sorry, I don't know what to say to comfort you right now..."

"Let's... talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately apologized, but before she could finish speaking, the phone went dead...

She put down her phone in a daze, her eyes filled with confusion.

What should I do now?

No sleep for one night.

As the sky gradually brightened, Nagasaki Motoyo felt increasingly anxious and tormented.

When it was time for school, she got out of bed, mechanically changed into her school uniform, and then carried her schoolbag to school.

As she approached the school gate, she heard a soft voice.

"Su Shi."

She looked up and saw it was Ruoye Mu.

The other person was standing at the school gate, looking at her with a hint of concern in their eyes.

Nagasaki Motoyo reached out and grabbed the other person's hand, her face full of helplessness.

"Xiao Mu..."

She desperately needs emotional support.

She felt that if she didn't have someone to lean on, she might break down at any moment.

If Ye Mu felt that the other person had broken down again, he led her to a bench next to the cucumber patch and sat down, then stared at her.

Nagasaki Motoyo hung her head and kept picking at her fingers.

After a while, she slowly spoke.

"Xiao Mu, can I ask you a question?"

Wakaba Mu nodded.

After a pause, Nagasaki Motoyo said softly,

"If... I mean if... Xiao Mu has a boyfriend, and you two like each other and have a really good relationship..."

"Xiao Mu, do you understand what I mean?"

Although she had some doubts, Ruoye Mu nodded.

She can definitely understand this setup.

After all, she only has difficulty expressing herself, not intellectual disability.

Nagasaki Motoyo continued,

"In this situation, what if one day, Xiaoxiang suddenly tells you that she also likes your boyfriend..."

"what will you do?"

After a moment of internal struggle, even though Ruoye Mu's mind wasn't particularly adept at expressing emotions, her gaze towards the other person became subtly meaningful.

"Su Shi, whose boyfriend have you fallen for?"

In her view, the situation is now quite clear.

The other party certainly wouldn't have created such a story to ask you such a question for no reason.

Therefore, the other party must be one of the parties involved.

There are only three parties involved in this story.

First, we can rule out the possibility that she is that boyfriend.

Secondly, we can rule out setting ourselves up as the character, since the other person doesn't have a boyfriend.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that the other party is the character Xiao Xiang is playing.

Nagasaki Motoyo avoided eye contact, then gave an awkward laugh.

"Xiao Mu, I'm just giving you an example to see what you would do if you encountered this kind of situation. It doesn't mean that this thing definitely exists."

"And it doesn't necessarily have to be someone I like in my boyfriend."

Ruoye Mutsu hesitated for a moment, then said,

"But Su Shi doesn't have a boyfriend."

Nagasaki Motoyo felt as if she had been stabbed twice in her weak points, and her blood pressure rose. Suppressing her emotions, she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Xiao Mu, can we stop worrying about this for now?"

"I mainly want to hear what you would do if Xiaomu encountered this situation?"

Ruoye Mu's gaze was fixed on the ground beneath her feet, revealing no emotion.

After a while, she shook her head.

"Xiao Xiang, he won't tell anyone."

If she could, Motoyo Nagasaki would like to turn back time to before she met him, so that at least her blood pressure wouldn't be as high as it is now.

Of course I know Xiao Xiang won't tell!

She began to feel madness inside.

But aren't we discussing "what if" right now?

What would you do if this happened?

【Little Mu, Little Mu, you're such a blockhead!】

Nagasaki Motoyo felt even more devastated. Without even saying goodbye, she got up and went straight to the classroom.

Watching the other person's departing figure, a thoughtful look appeared in Ruo Ye Mu's eyes.

She didn't know why the other person was reacting so strongly.

He was telling the truth.

However, we should try our best to resolve the problems on the other party's part.

After all, she didn't want to see the other person really break down.

But it was clear that I didn't have the ability to make her better.

Since that's the case, we'll have to ask someone capable to take charge.

She opened her phone and sent a message to Shirakawa Ze, whose contact name was saved as "Bridge".

"Su Shi has broken again."

After sending the message, she got up and went to the classroom, feeling much more relaxed.

After the message was delivered, Shirakawa Ze's phone vibrated twice.

However, he did not open it to look.

Because his attention was focused on Takamatsu Takamori at that moment.

From the moment the other person entered the room, Shirakawa immediately sensed that something was wrong with them.

The other person looked like they hadn't slept all night, and when they made eye contact, their gaze instinctively avoided their eyes.

Moreover, he could sense from the other person's demeanor, expression, and eyes that they were in a bad mood.

"Deng-chan, didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"

After the other person sat down, Shirakawa Sawa asked.

Takamatsu nodded slightly without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, she tilted her head slightly and said softly,

"Ze-jun, after class at noon, shall we go to the astronomy classroom first?"

"There are some things I want to tell Ze-jun."

Shirakawa Sawa said no problem.

Takamatsu gave a soft "hmm" and then lay down on the table to catch up on sleep.

Turning his gaze away, Shirakawa Sawa opened his phone and, after seeing the message from Wakaba Mutsu, thought to himself...

[Has SuShi broken again?]

A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Logically speaking, what happened yesterday shouldn't have caused the other party much negative emotion.

So why is that?

He didn't send another message to ask Wakaba Mutsu, because he knew that he probably wouldn't get any particularly clear information.

Therefore, it's better to find out for yourself.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to do anything right now, since even if he wanted to go find the other person, it would have to be after school in the afternoon.

So he decided to wait until noon to see what Gao Songdeng had to say before making a decision...

Volume 1: Chapter 160 Lantern Treasure School Gate Blocks Su Shi

After the bell rang for the end of the fourth period in the morning, Takamatsu Akari and Shirakawa Sawa went to the Astronomy Club activity room together.

After closing the door, the former turned to look at the latter, whose eyes held a hint of curiosity, and slowly spoke.

“Last night, Su Shi must have dialed the wrong number…”
