It started with being hated by the girl in the band

This time, it was Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was about to talk a lot and had already prepared a long speech, but was stunned. He hadn't even started drawing his own pie, so how come Xiaomu started eating it first?

"Um... Mu, I haven't finished yet..."

"I'll join."

Ruoye Mu looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was a little dazed, and thought that he had not explained it clearly, so he blinked and said it again.

"I believe in Xiaoxiang and Xin...Since it's Xin and Xiaoxiang, there must be a way."

Ruo Yemu gently held the cup in his hand and expressed his opinion in a deep voice, as if such a thing was already an established fact.

"No, such unconditional trust makes it impossible for me to say many nice things..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brows twitched, and he couldn't resist the urge to complain, so he opened his mouth and spoke immediately.

"…I can pretend to disagree."

Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was complaining like this, Ruoye Mu opened his mouth and said hesitantly.

"... Never mind. This is fine."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki waved his hands and sighed uncomfortably. He felt that he had prepared so many things to say, but now it was inevitable that it would feel like a lack of momentum.

At this moment, Ruoye Mu's cell phone rang with a clear ringtone.

...It was Xiaoxiang calling.

Chapter 97: The brave warrior Ruoye Mu joins the team!

Without any intention of avoiding Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him, Xiaomu cleared his throat slightly, calmed himself down, and answered the ringing phone.

"...Xiao Xiang?"

Ruoye Mu's voice, as crisp as a cucumber, made people feel better unconsciously.

Although he didn't know what Xiangzi said to Xiaomu on the phone, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in the eyes of Xiaomu. He blinked his green eyes and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was drinking mango juice in front of him. He opened his pink lips slightly and asked his question softly.

“…Is it a band?”

Ruoye Mu's faint doubtful voice floated into the microphone of the mobile phone.

……

"Eh? What happened to Mu...?"

Customer service company, in the corridor of an office building.

...I shouldn't have told Mu about this yet...?

Toyokawa Shoko, who was leaning against the window at the end of the corridor, blinked in surprise. She couldn't help but frowned and felt strange.

Yes, since she said such nice words last night, Toyokawa Shoko must really take action. Just talking about this and that is impossible to build a band even if you spend ten thousand years...

That's why we are inviting Ruoye Mu to join the band now - since Ruoye's family doesn't allow children to play in this kind of pretend band, what if they can produce some solid results?

……

“…because the letter is with me.”

Wakaba Mu's gaze slowly focused on the face of Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was listening curiously in front of him, and finally, like a white paper stained with color, he revealed a faint smile.

Sure enough, Xin was not deceiving himself.

It's not a cunning trick like "It's for your own good" nor a cheap stabilizer like "I'm sorry". Xin really wants to form a band with himself.

…Anyway, my parents think that I have already quit the band.

And...if I'm with Xin, can I put an end to this cold relationship between us?

Because Xin has a very good relationship with everyone... Xiaodeng, Lixi, Xiangzi...

and so……

"I want to join."

Wakaba Mutsumitsu's voice floated clearly into Toyokawa Shoko's ears through the receiver.

Such a natural and logical joining was a surprise to even Toyokawa Shoko, who had been confident about it. Wakaba Mutsu, who had great trust in the two of them, didn't even ask anything.

"…Although I sounded insincere on the phone, but…"

Toyokawa Shoko's chuckle came from the other side.

Although we can't see Toyokawa Shoko's expression at the moment from the voice, she must be in a very good mood at the moment.

"From today on, we're in the same band again, Mu."

Such a familiar brisk tone and intonation made Ruoye Mu a little stunned... It was like he was back in junior high school... No, it was like he was back in Crychic...

...That's great.

Ruoye Mu murmured softly in his heart.

"...Mu, the band or something...Do you know what Xin told me at that time?"

It seemed that Toyokawa Shoko was happy about this matter, as if she had found someone to share with, and her euphoric voice came from the other side.

"That day, Xin told me this..."

She cleared her throat, gently tapped the toes of her little leather shoes, looked out the window at the high-rise buildings and the endless flow of traffic, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and began to speak in the tone of Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

“A band is like a community of destiny playing music together.”

"... Isn't it a good understanding?"

Listening to the happy voice of Toyokawa Shoko on the other end of the phone, Ruoye Mu's face seemed to be infected by such emotions, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

Xiangzi, it’s been a long time since you’ve been this happy, right?

Although he didn't know what was being said on the other end of the phone, based on the previous conversation and looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was smiling softly and looking particularly cute and giving him a dazzled look, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could probably guess what was being said.

Anyway, probably, Xiangzi called to get Xiaomu into the band, right?

"…If there is no problem, Mu-san, I will go back to the counter then?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki picked up the cup that he had drunk clean and looked at Wakaba Mutsu.

Classmate Xiao Mu had just put down his cell phone and seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and stretched out his white and tender hand with faint visible veins, and waved to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

Although Xiao Mu doesn't usually express his emotions, he does have quite a lot of them.

"...Xin, goodbye."

Zhonghe Xin nodded and replied with a smile: "See you next time?"

"See you."

Ruoye Mu nodded gently, held his own portion of mango juice, which he had just drunk, and sipped it gently.

Immediately afterwards, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly heard a sound of choking water.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Looking back, I saw Xiao Mu covering his mouth with a handkerchief, trying to suppress the sound of his cough uncomfortably. It seemed that he choked while drinking juice?

Without caring about anything else, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was somewhat helpless, quickly took out a few pieces of toilet paper, walked quickly to Wakaba Mutsuki, and gently patted Wakaba Mutsuki's petite back.

"Don't drink so quickly..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently patted Xiaomu's back, which was twitching due to coughing, and mercilessly complained about Wakaba Mutsu who was so reckless.

After a while, Xiao Mu raised her pretty face, which had turned slightly red due to lack of oxygen, and slowly relaxed, leaning back in the chair to adjust her breathing rhythm.

Looking at Xiao Mu, whose tears were coughed out and who looked as pitiful as a lotus in the rain, Zhong Hexin just laughed in his heart.

I didn't expect that Xiao Mu, who is usually like that, would have such a reckless side.

"..."

It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Nakagawa Shin's laughing face. Although Ruoye Mu still looked calm, Nakagawa Shin clearly felt a hint of anger in his eyes.

Identified as a hidden puffer fish is quietly bloating.

"...Juice, so greasy."

Wakaba Mutsu pointed to the mango juice on the table.

Mango juice:?

If mango juice could talk, it would definitely be very dissatisfied with Xiao Mu who is blaming others for his mistake.

Fortunately, when he saw Xiaomu putting lots of sugar into the juice, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's eyebrows just twitched slightly, and he complained on behalf of Mr. Perfect Mango.

"Didn't Mu-san add the sugar himself... and he's already drunk that much, right?"

Ruo Yemu nodded calmly, with no intention of being stubborn, but he still said some words weakly to defend himself.

“…but it’s just so greasy.”

Indeed, if what Ye Mu said is true.

When Xin turned back to look for those girls...it was still sweet when he drank it, but now it was too sweet, even a little too pungent...

"…How disgusting is it?"

After hearing this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was born with a mean streak, became a little curious.

...How disgusting is it? Could it make Xiao Mu so choked?

If you don't believe me, let me see what's going on.

"…Believe it, and you will know after trying it yourself."

With tears in his eyes still a little, Wakaba Mutsu looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who seemed a little curious in front of him. He didn't seem to intend to stop him at all, and just spoke expressionlessly.

...Who made Xin laugh at me just now?

Humph.

Now Wakaba Mutsu had no idea that some dark thoughts were emerging in his heart.

Well, let’s just assume that it’s because Xiaomu’s emotions are naturally sensitive and rich, right?

Chapter 98: Is Xiao Mu throwing a tantrum?

"puff--!!!"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

As soon as it enters your mouth, the taste of mango mixed with the undisguised, straightforward sweetness of sugar explodes in your mouth like a bomb.

That alone is not the whole story. The juice itself is already thick, and with so much sugar mixed in, it becomes even thicker. So no matter whether you want to swallow it or spit it out, there will always be a large piece of glue-like part remaining on your taste buds.

Apart from anything else, the osmotic pressure alone almost sucked Nakagawa Nobuyuki's tongue dry. I really don't know how Xiaomu managed to drink that sip.

Even if I try my best to drink it, I still can't feel at peace, really.

Zhonghe Xin can now clearly feel that there is a thick layer of something hanging on his throat, which will not go away for a long time.

Although he knew it was just an illusion, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still felt very uncomfortable.

And unlike Xiaomu who just choked, Zhonghe Xin even choked the mango juice out of his nose. The sticky and disgusting feeling like snot almost drove Zhonghe Xin away.

"...Don't drink so quickly."

Wakaba Mutsu took a step forward, walked quietly to Nakagawa Nobuyuki, and patted Nakagawa Nobuyuki on the back with a calm expression.

Hearing familiar words and feeling familiar actions, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Xiaomu, a classmate who was so vindictive, with tears in his eyes.

But Xiao Mu still had that bland and overly standard expression, and there was no clue at all...

But classmate Xiao Mu actually said and did the exact same things that I just did. It's hard not to believe that he's just throwing a tantrum.

After taking a deep breath and clearing his throat with difficulty, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally breathed in the beautiful air again... although it smelled like mango.

"Do you feel better."

It seemed as if nothing had happened. Ruo Ye Mu just stood quietly with his knees together beside Nakagawa Nobuyuki, looking up at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, whose face was a little red from choking and who was still having difficulty breathing.

...I feel a little regretful.
