It started with being hated by the girl in the band

To add, this can be easily proven by covering one's nose.

Because, since they were already kissing, there was no reason for their noses not to bump into each other... Now, Chu Hua finally understood why the passionate kisses in all love movies had to be done with their faces staggered...

Chapter 305: Miss Chuhua's Kissing Trial...

Rubbing his still sore nose, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed, and used the soft tissue paper in his palm to gently wipe away the traces of tears left on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

Although Toyokawa Shoko, who was now sitting on the sofa with her head down and toes tightly together, was much calmer than when she was emotional just now, she was still sniffing her nose and the tears that had just been wiped away were still falling.

From time to time, a few trembling whimpers would come from the tip of his throat, but they were forcibly suppressed by Toyokawa Shoko, who was holding the corner of his clothes tightly.

"...Okay, okay, you haven't finished crying yet?"

While wiping away Toyokawa Shoko's endless tears, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked helplessly at Toyokawa Shoko's small hands that were tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.

If you have something to say, you should just say it directly... Just like now, even though Toyokawa Shoko is like this, I still don’t know what Toyokawa Shoko is going to say.

However, it’s not that Xiangzi doesn’t want to speak now, but that she can’t speak... Just now when Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly pulled her to the sofa, Toyokawa Xiangzi tried to speak... But, almost all of it turned into sobs with no specific words being heard.

"..."

Hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Toyokawa Shoko's shoulders trembled slightly, and the sound of sobbing that had been happening from time to time instantly disappeared...but the tears that had almost stopped just now and the little hand that was holding Nakagawa Nobuyuki showed no sign of letting go.

"...I didn't say I wouldn't let you cry - ah..."

Xiangzi is now extremely sensitive...once he starts crying, he won't stop.

"…Chuhua, do you have any ideas?"

After rubbing Toyokawa Shoko's little head, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was at a loss. He could only turn around and look at Sankaku Chuhua, who had been silent since the beginning, hoping that Sankaku Chuhua, who was Toyokawa Shoko's childhood friend, could give him some advice.

But at this moment, Sanjiao Chuhua, who was gently touching his lips, staring at his toes for some reason, and was in a daze, did not respond to Nakagawa Xin's question.

"…Um, Chuhua-san?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki called out again with a subtle expression.

...Speaking of which, the shirt Chuhua is wearing seems a bit too big for her. Is it a new trend? And the pattern of the shirts I wear is surprisingly similar.

"Ah, I, I'm listening!"

Suddenly called upon by Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Miss Chuhua's small hand, which had just been stroking her wet lips, suddenly felt as if it had touched hot boiling water. In an instant, she withdrew the hem of her long canvas skirt, rubbing the seam of her skirt with her fingertips while stumbling in her reply.

What's wrong with me?

I was so sick that I wanted to vomit, and my heart was beating fast because of panic... But why didn't I want to run away now? Obviously... It was obviously that person, the person I absolutely couldn't get close to...

Ken, it must be because of Xiaoxiang... Xiaoxiang is still in his room... At least we can't leave Xiaoxiang alone...

Swish.

With a subtle expression, Nakagawa Nobuyuki waved at Sankaku Chuhua.

"Um... Is it because it's too late that Chuhua-san is a little sleepy?"

Just now, when Miss Chuhua said that she was listening, Nakagawa Nobuyuki cleared his throat and asked Miss Chuhua, who claimed to be listening, if he could take Toyokawa Shoko to ask first...

As a result, as soon as he asked the question, he saw Sanjiao Chuhua in a daze again...The only difference was that this time Miss Chuhua was staring at him in a daze.

Even Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought that Sanjiao Chuhua was just thinking, but he turned out to be really in a daze, and he didn't know why... Apart from being sleepy at night, Nakagawa Nobuyuki really couldn't think of any possible explanation.

"No, I didn't... well, I'm still energetic!"

Sanjiao Chuhua, who finally came to his senses, sat up straight immediately, looked away from Zhonghe Xin with a guilty look, and defended himself in a low voice.

Of course, if I could raise my head, I might feel more confident.

"...Okay, since you're in good spirits...it'll be fine."

After a slight pause, Nakagawa Nobuyuki once again looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was beside him, like an abandoned little animal, silent but holding his arm tightly.

"Student Chuhua, what do you think about this situation?"

As a childhood friend, Chuhua should have some ideas of his own on how to comfort Xiangzi, right?

"...Well, I think I can... give it a try."

After looking at the sofa in front of him with some hesitation, Sanjiao Chuhua finally nodded, rolled up his sleeves which were obviously too big, and slowly walked towards Toyokawa Shoko in front of him.

"Xiao Xiang...if you have anything to say, you can tell me."

"…I promise I won't tell anyone."

Sanjiao Chuhua lifted up her canvas skirt, gently sat down on the other side of Toyokawa Shoko, and spoke softly.

"If I can, I can avoid it."

Similarly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki also stood up and spoke in an exceptionally calm voice.

I hope Miss Chuhua can solve it——

"unnecessary."

Toyokawa Shoko, with her head lowered, suddenly spoke in a muffled voice.

"...I, I've figured it out."

Toyokawa Shoko clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and suddenly raised her face which had been hidden under her long hair.

On the pretty little face, the red eyes from crying and the slightly swollen eyelids were quite noticeable.

Before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could react to the sudden change in Toyokawa Shoko's aura, a metal can suddenly appeared in his hand, and his hand felt a little icy.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Sanjiao Chuhua showed a bit of worry.

"I'm sorry... Shin, I'm really... ow... I'm really... really bothering you."

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lips tightly, trying her best not to let her trembling sobs of grievance reveal themselves.

"It's not that I don't consider Shin as a friend... I, I'm just afraid..."

Scared?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned in confusion, but did not interrupt Toyokawa Shoko. He just silently put his arm around Toyokawa Shoko's petite shoulders that were trembling due to sobs.

"Woo..."

Toyokawa Shoko felt the familiar feeling of being stretched suddenly, and her originally well-prepared defenses were about to collapse once again...

"...Everyone, everyone gave Xin...very good gifts..."

"But, I can only...give this..."

Is this...antiperspirant?

I gently rubbed the plastic shell of the antiperspirant in my hand. Perhaps because it had been warmed by Toyokawa Shoko's body temperature for a long time, the plastic edge of the antiperspirant felt quite warm and round.

"Me too, I also spent a long time choosing... Obviously, this is the best one I could find..."

"...But, but...it's still not as good as Mu's...not as good as Chuhua's——"

“…But I really…I really—!”

The strength with which he embraced Nakagawa Nobuyuki was as if he wanted to hold Nakagawa Nobuyuki into his own body. The sobs, tears and cries that he had finally stopped were more like the fixed deposit he had made at that time, which was now taking revenge on him with interest.

"I……"

“…Ugh, I…”

It's hard to blame. Is it the clumsy mouth that is holding me back, or the hysterical lungs that are holding me back? All the words that came out were shattered into pieces of meaningless words.

But there really is no need for those things anymore. Now that things have come to this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki certainly has almost understood the whole story.

"Alright, alright... stop competing with each other over this kind of thing... we're all band mates after all."

"No matter who gave me the gift... I will definitely treasure it very much. Price is always just a number, right? Numbers are not as valuable as you think."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently patted Toyokawa Shoko's body and comforted her in a soft voice.

...I never expected that Xiangzi's hesitation and indecision just now were due to this reason...How stupid.

It’s over... I’m so touched now that I can’t hold back my tears.

He wiped his tears and had no habit of hiding his emotions, so he hugged Xiaoxiang in his arms a little tighter.

Anyway, I have to wash this dress again tonight... Xiangzi has been crying so hard, there will definitely be a big salt stain on it tomorrow...

Just when Nakagawa Nobuyuki was beginning to have wild thoughts, Toyokawa Shoko's fingers pressed even tighter.

“…Don’t, don’t call me Toyokawa…Don’t be so distant from me…”

"…I clearly promised…I promised to call me Xiangzi…"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally smoothed the ends of Toyokawa Shoko's hair with his hands, and whispered in Toyokawa Shoko's ear:

"I definitely remember... This time, I also have a problem... I'm sorry, Xiangzi."

Although my original intention was just to use that kind of PUA rhetoric to stimulate Xiangzi...but I didn't expect Xiangzi to react so strongly. To be honest, I went a bit too far.

This exchange of body temperature did not last long. Xiangzi's sudden burst of emotion was indeed a reaction under emotional excitement...

Especially, Miss Chuhua is watching over there.

"... Xiangzi, is Chuhua still here?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki lowered his voice, leaned close to the ear of Toyokawa Shoko, whose crying had long stopped, and reminded her softly.

In fact, there was no need for Nakagawa Nobuyuki to remind her. When Nakagawa Nobuyuki said that everyone's value was much more important than the price of the gift, Toyokawa Shoko had actually almost calmed down. She spoke afterwards almost entirely out of the grievance that had not yet been exhausted.

And with the gentle call of "Shoko" from Nakagawa Nobuyuki, the grievance that was so thick that she couldn't cry out was all transformed into some kind of indescribable sticky emotion, which shattered Toyokawa Shoko's self-esteem that she thought was extremely strong.

Angel Xiaoxiang spoke anxiously and reminded: "Xiangzi! You are still next to Chuhua Desuwa! How can you show such a——"

The devil Xiaoxiang was very disdainful: "So what?"

That's right...so what?

Anyway... I've already cried in front of Chu Hua, I've already lost face... Not to mention Xin... Xin has seen a much more embarrassed look...

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko, whose ears turned red, said nothing. Not only did she not answer Nakagawa Nobuyuki, she also showed no intention of letting go. She even hugged her nominal boyfriend tighter, as if if she let go, Chuhua on the other side would snatch him away.

"...Um, Chuhua, shall I take Xiangzi over there first?"

Looking at Sanjiao Chuhua on the side with some embarrassment, Nakagawa Xin asked tentatively.

It was Nakagawa Nobuyuki who asked the question, but in this case it was just a social etiquette, and Sankaku Hatsuka couldn't disagree, so there was basically no difference.

"…Well, I'm fine, Nobu-kun."

Sanjiao Chuhua tucked his wide sleeves slightly, smiled and shook his head, seeming not to care much.

This situation also made Nakagawa Nobuyuki feel somewhat fortunate.

Chuhua really has a great character... Even though that kind of thing just happened, they even kissed... Even though it was an accident.

But seriously, if it was Shiina... I guess Shiina would have hurt herself out of embarrassment, right?

A chill suddenly ran up from his tailbone. Feeling a little scared, Nakagawa Nobuyuki decided that it would be better not to mention this... He should apologize to Chuhua later.

From this perspective, apart from anything else, it can be seen that Xiangzi is very good at making friends.

Xiao Deng, Nagasaki, Mutsu, Shiina, and of course Miss Hatsuka, each of them actually has something special and a gentle personality...it's just that Shiina is a little bit more prickly.

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was staggering towards the end of the corridor with Toyokawa Shoko, smiled a little.

……

Lips, sweet.

Staring at the tips of his canvas shoes that were tightly together, Sanjiao Chuhua, who was alone in the room, thought absentmindedly.

Mint flavor...can it be this sweet?

My nose still has the sour feeling from when we bumped into each other just now... My lips seem to feel soft as well...

...Nothing special, right?

Sanjiao Chuhua subconsciously raised her fingers and gently touched her lips. The soft temperature and the warm touch of the lip glaze...

A lot of the lip gloss was rubbed off by [that person] with his lips.

This feeling of having an uncontrollable heartbeat is so [terrible]... so [uneasy]...?... I'm about to vomit?... I'm so nervous that it's like... drinking the water that [that person] handed to me...?
