He wasn't some clueless airhead who couldn't read the room.

I've known Akane Shinjo for almost half a year now.

He could naturally sense it.

The other party's emotions were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"That's fine."

Akane Shinjo shook her head: "I've said everything I wanted to say."

That's right.

She had already said everything she wanted to say to her parents.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've felt so relaxed."

Akane Shinjo spread her hands, took two steps forward, then turned around, a mischievous smile appearing on her pretty, fair face.

"This is the very first time I've ever expressed my thoughts to my father and mother!"

As she spoke, she looked at Nanxiang Shi with excitement:

"Shi Jun, did you see that? The look of surprise on my parents' faces when I said those things."

She approached, her face filled with emotion, but even more so with joy:

"Oh my... this is so rare, it's the first time I've ever seen them with those expressions. Let me tell you, Toki-kun, I..."

She became more and more excited as she talked, the words stuck in her throat, about to be spoken, but then—

"Okay, Qian."

Nango's voice interrupted Shinjo Akane.

He looked at Akane Shinjo in front of him and said, "You don't really need to be so stubborn."

"Why...?"

Hearing Nango Toki's words, Shinjo Akane's face showed a look of surprise, as if she didn't understand why Nango Toki suddenly spoke like that.

Nanxiang did not continue speaking.

He simply looked at the pink-purple-haired girl in front of him with a gentle and calm expression, without saying a word.

silence...

A long silence fell between them...

Then.

Suddenly, Akane Shinjo rushed up and hugged Nango tightly with both hands.

at the same time.

It was her voice, which was muffled and seemed to tremble slightly.

"Seriously... why is Toki-kun always like this..."

yes...

Why...?

Why is it that Nanxiang is always able to perceive her thoughts so accurately?

Why was Nanxiang able to sense that she was actually putting on a brave face?

Akane Shinjo didn't understand.

Even though she had disguised herself so perfectly, she still couldn't escape Nanxiang Shi's eyes.

She gripped Nanxiang Shi's collar tightly.

Nanxiang didn't answer, but simply followed her movements and pulled her into his arms.

As mentioned before.

He's not a fool who can't read the room.

Not to mention that he had already known and dated Akane Shinjo for more than half a year.

He naturally understood the other party's thoughts very well.

to be honest.

Akane Shinjo just rejected her parents.

Even without an emotional foundation, despite her parents' long-standing neglect of her and even placing her in the care of their maid, Yuka Karasawa.

Those were still Akane Shinjo's parents.

This is not something that can be resolved simply by saying, "I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Humans are emotional beings.

It's perfectly normal for Akane Shinjo to feel disappointed and lost about her biological father.

Nanxiang patted the girl's back.

As an outsider to the Shinjo family, this is the only way he can stay by the girl's side.

About ten minutes passed like this.

The light blue clock that stood at the station chimed on the hour.

The girl with pinkish-purple hair then lifted her crimson eyes from Nanxiang Shi's embrace.

She probably just cried.

The edges of her eyes were slightly red.

Nanxiang stroked the edge of the girl's eye socket with his hand and asked her a question.

Have you calmed down a bit?

"Um..."

Akane Shinjo responded instinctively, then turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.

Because she discovered it.

Because of the action of sobbing while lying on Nanxiang's chest just now.

This resulted in Nanxiang Shi's chest being a mess, making it unbearable to look at.

"It's good that you've calmed down."

Nanxiang was clearly unaware of the condition in his chest.

He simply held Shinjo Akane's hand and walked forward, asking her questions as they went:

"What are your plans for the future? Do you have any ideas yet?"

"after..."

Hearing Nango's words, Shinjo Akane couldn't help but feel a little lost.

indeed.

Having already brought the topic up with her parents, what can she do next?

You should know that the situation now is completely different from that in the dream.

She severed ties with the Shinjo family before even graduating from high school.

After losing the protection of the Shinjo family, they were then hit by an immense economic burden.

Although she didn't feel any regret.

But they are faced with life pressures that are as heavy as mountains.

She was also somewhat confused.

It seemed that she had noticed Akane's confusion.

Nanxiang took the initiative to speak up: "Your parents shouldn't take away the house your parents gave you so soon. You should be able to stay there for a while longer."

He reached out and stroked Akane Shinjo's head:

"Why not use that time to think carefully about your next goals? If you still haven't figured them out by then..."

He paused for a moment, then offered his suggestion:

"Why don't you go back to my hometown for a while and relax? Don't worry, I definitely won't let you bear such heavy life pressure alone."

to be honest.

No matter how talented Akane Shinjo is, she's still just a high school girl.

They need to support themselves while also earning money for college tuition.

This is clearly a pipe dream.

As her boyfriend, Nanxiang Shi certainly couldn't just stand by and watch her suffer alone.

In fact, he had long been preparing to write novels.

After all, in the simulation, he was able to successfully help Matsuzaka Satou resolve her economic crisis by relying on the novel.

In reality, I'm sure I can earn money through novels and help Shinjo Akane solve her financial crisis.

Upon hearing Nango Toki's words, Shinjo Akane paused slightly before realizing what Nango Toki had said:

"Going to Shi-kun's hometown...?"

"Hmm, so? Want to go?"

"Of course I'm going!"

Unlike Rio Futaba, who hesitated for a long time before finally sending a LINE message that night to express her agreement.

Akane Shinjo's attitude was much more decisive.

The pink-purple-haired girl nodded without hesitation, her face full of excitement.

Going to Nanxiang's home means she will be able to see Nanxiang's parents and two older sisters.

This is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity for her to gain favor!
