It started with being hated by the girl in the band

"…Xin called me out of the blue."

Toyokawa Shoko blinked and immediately turned to look at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was sitting on the sofa with a similarly confused expression on his face.

"Wait, so...it was actually me..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki opened his eyes wide and his throat suddenly choked.

Well, it seems to be true. Nagasaki Motoyo never said anything about wanting to dance or anything like that...

No wonder the wind is so strong! The wind must be very strong on this rooftop balcony!

"...Wait, so, what is that "Goodbye, Nakagawa" and "Thank you for meeting you"? "

Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned, and caught something obviously wrong with the phone call, and immediately raised questions.

No matter how you look at it, this looks like the kind of sentimental line you'd say before a farewell, right?

Even though he probably knew in his heart that he had probably made a mistake... Nakagawa Nobuyuki, feeling a little guilty, still wanted to figure out what had happened.

"…If you want to know what this is, Nakagawa and Xiaoxiang should know it better than me."

Hearing Nakagawa Nobuyuki bring up such a matter, Nagasaki Suyo could only smile somewhat melancholy, and her white fingers twirled around the ends of her hair.

[Know better than me]?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Toyokawa Shoko were both stunned and looked at each other in confusion.

"... Zhonghe and Xiaoxiang are forming a band, right?"

Looking at the two people in front of her who were still confused, Nagasaki Suyo slowly sat down on the sofa and spoke with some relief.

"Since you've already formed a band, then of course you don't need me anymore, right?"

"...Why couldn't I have met Nakagawa first...? Why did I only understand it when Nakagawa was about to quit..."

Looking at Nagasaki Motoyo in front of him with crystal ripples in her eyes again, Nakagawa Shin's doubts and questions were so many that they were about to explode. Nakagawa Shin had no choice but to interrupt Nagasaki Motoyo in even greater confusion.

"Wait a minute, Nagasaki... I did form a band... but what do you mean by quitting or not?"

I can clearly understand every word, but why don’t I understand what it means?

"...Quit, quit the band?"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment, and the tears that were brewing in her eyes were forcibly held back. She subconsciously asked in a daze.

Although she had imagined ten thousand possibilities, Nagasaki Motoyo had never imagined that Nakagawa Nobuyuki would ask such a question.

After all, since he chose to join Xiaoxiang's band, he must have seen through my intention to cut him off, right?

Otherwise, why would you suddenly want to join another band when you are having so much fun with the band?

But... coming back to the point, Nagasaki Suyo had never imagined that Nakagawa Nobuyuki would come directly to her doorstep and even bring Shoko with him.

"…What band?"

Nakagawa Nobuo tilted his head.

"... That is, everyone's band... Deng, Aine, Riki, me, and Nakagawa-san's band?"

The more she spoke, the lower Nagasaki Suyo's voice became.

Because Nagasaki Suyo suddenly discovered something... that is, it seems that it is not only Nakagawa who thinks that his despair is a misunderstanding...

Apparently, this guy is quitting the band...which is also a misunderstanding.

Wait, doesn’t that mean... Nakagawa doesn’t know his plan yet—no, that doesn’t make sense at all?

If Nakagawa didn't know about his despicable plan, why would he join another band?

"…No, the band is doing fine, why would I quit?"

Not only did Nakagawa Nobuyuki's doubts not get any answers, but they became even more tangled up like a tangled mess, and he continued to ask questions in even greater confusion.

Beside her, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized that she seemed to have been cueed, and looked out the window as if nothing had happened.

"…Then what does it mean that Nakagawa-san joins Xiaoxiang's band!"

Nagasaki Suyo gritted her teeth lightly, not wanting to dwell on this confusing matter anymore, and simply asked in a self-destructive manner.

"Uh... is there a saying in the band world that you can only join one band... or something?"

While asking in confusion, Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked and looked at Toyokawa Shoko on the side.

"…I don't think there is such a saying."

Toyokawa Shoko coughed lightly, and seemed to have noticed the gradually awkward atmosphere, and she shrank her neck awkwardly.

After hearing Toyokawa Shoko's answer, Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned to look at Nagasaki Suyo, whose face was flushed red, showing his clear and complete expression of "kept in the dark".

"... Indeed, there is no such saying... But, but——"

"…But, Nakagawa-san didn't reply to me just now, right?"

As if she had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, Nagasaki Suyo blinked her eyes immediately and asked back quickly.

"I've been talking the whole time...but you didn't respond to me, Shigaraki?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Eh...but, I really didn't hear it..."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned and tried to excuse herself in a low voice.

...Wait, this guy has never thought about quitting the band!

Really, what’s the point of thinking so much?

After a long while, despite the grief in her heart, Nagasaki Suyo still spoke in a low voice.

"...In other words, Nakagawa-san, you won't quit, right?"

As if to confirm again, Nagasaki Motoyo heaved a sigh of relief and gently loosened the fingers that were tightly wrapped around her hair.

"No, no...don't act like an elementary school kid before a spring outing at a time like this."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head helplessly, and was speechless about the girl in front of him who was minding her own business.

Really, I thought it was something serious...but in the end it turned out to be just a misunderstanding. It's too boring.

As he thought this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Toyokawa Shoko exchanged glances and slowly stood up.

"Then Nagasaki, let's go first--"

The next moment, the flaxen-haired girl, in front of the dazed expressions of the other two, gently pushed her head into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arms.

Chapter 166: How did Xiaoxiang and Zhonghe get together?

Although he was not in a good mood right now, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still kept his patience and tried his best not to let the low pressure in his heart release.

"Alright, alright... since it's just a misunderstanding, is it really necessary to be like this?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki helplessly combed the flaxen hair that Nagasaki Suyo had buried deeply in his arms, and combed the girl's hair that had just been blown messy on the rooftop, and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"... Xiangzi, today is also thanks to you."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been caught a long time ago."

Without paying attention to his completely wet chest, Nakagawa Nobuyuki just raised his eyes slightly and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was sitting next to him with a stern face.

“…Really.”

Even though she had only said this for a few words, feeling the resentment in her heart receding like the tide, Toyokawa Shoko could only glare at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in reproach.

...Looking at this guy's somewhat tired smiling face, I couldn't get angry. Obviously, this guy is hugging another girl now.

"Next time, please speak more clearly."

With her golden eyes lowered in a somewhat reproachful manner, Toyokawa Shoko complained in a low voice.

I thought that Su Shi was just being unreasonable... After all, it was obviously my fault that Crychic disbanded... I finally got the letter, but now I want to take it away...

As expected, I really went too far.

Although, although it was Xin who led the band he formed first.

When she thought about how she had hurt everyone so harshly, Toyokawa Shoko gently covered her heavy heart, and her mood inevitably became a little depressed.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Nakagawa Nobuyuki's profile, he suddenly felt a little relieved.

But fortunately, I met Xin.

If I hadn't met Xin, I would probably still be living a confused and painful life.

Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Toyokawa Shoko slowly relaxed a little and leaned softly on Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

Maybe I really should thank my bastard dad?

If he hadn't completely crushed that arrogant guy in front of Xin, perhaps he would not have been willing to lend a helping hand to Xin.

...Xin, this is what is annoying.

He provoked me in this way, and provoked others in this way...

Ah, there really is some strange [gravity]...

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko smiled slightly and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki tenderly.

After a while, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had just come to her senses, realized what she had just done and slowly raised her head.

"...Su Shi, are you feeling better now?"

Without any intention of raising her head, Toyokawa Shoko just asked softly with some concern.

"…Okay, I feel better now."

He took two steps back in panic, sniffed his nose which was still a little sore, hunched his shoulders, lowered his head slightly, and then Nagasaki Suoshi replied in a low voice.

"...I, I'm going to wash my face..."

……

He walked quickly to the bathroom as if he was escaping, and quickly locked the bathroom door.

Leaning tightly against the wall, Nagasaki Suyo bit her pink lips subconsciously, then raised her head slightly and looked at the mirror. The girl in the mirror already had an alluring blush on her face.

What...what's wrong with me?

I actually stayed in that guy Zhonghe’s arms for such a long time!

...and subconsciously sniffed the scent of that guy for so long!

Even...even...

Nagasaki Suyo gently covered her heart, which had never been so excited, and felt the thick, sweet and light feeling in her heart.

What, what is this feeling… My heart is twitching slightly, but I don’t feel uncomfortable at all… On the contrary, I feel… very happy.

I don’t know how to describe the feeling in my heart. I just feel that the corners of my lips are curling up uncontrollably, and a silly laugh is about to slip out of my mouth.

I... suddenly became very strange.

How can I be crying, feeling wronged, sorry and apologetic, and still be so happy?

First... wash your face first. It would look weird if you go out with a red face.

Nagasaki Suyo, whose face was as red as a boiled shrimp, was mumbling softly as she turned on the faucet in front of her.

……

"…I'm so sorry, but I don't have anything at home to entertain guests."

Nagasaki Suyo walked out of the bathroom again and became the gentle girl again. Her messy hair was combed smooth again. She smiled and placed two cups of hot milk in front of the two people.

"It's not nice to say this, but seriously, Nagasaki, if you're okay... I still have a part-time job."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Nagasaki Suyo in front of him and spoke helplessly.

I just responded to some messages, and everyone was basically asking me why I suddenly disappeared or something...

"…Really, can't you stay a little longer?"

Nagasaki Suyo's smile froze, and she seemed a little hesitant before speaking softly.

As if to change the subject, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately moved her gaze slightly, looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was silently drinking milk, and asked softly: "...Um, Xiaoxiang, how about the milk?"
