The meal was uneventful.

Although Toyokawa Shoko was full of gratitude towards the young man in front of her, she did not express it too much.

She knew that she didn't have many ways or abilities to express her gratitude now.

She was short of both time and money.

So she just kept this friendship in her heart, waiting for the time when she would be able to repay it.

Sometimes she felt that the other person was really helping her on purpose.

After all, it is rare to find a job that allows her to use her strengths, does not require her to interact with others, and still gets her a good salary.

What she actually cares about is not whether she can endure hardship or how much she will be paid, but whether she can be exposed to the public.

She was afraid that while working, she would meet her former friends or people who knew her in a very embarrassing state.

But now this job perfectly solves all her concerns.

Even if I meet acquaintances, they will not feel that I am in a bad state now when they see that I have an exclusive piano practice card and go in and out of such a large piano store.

So sometimes, she felt that this part-time job was tailor-made for her.

But the other party was so clever in giving this kindness that it didn't make people feel any psychological burden at all...

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the calm boy in front of her and sighed in her heart,

Shirakawa-san is such a magical person...

Volume 1: Chapter 118 Xiangzi Forgot Everything

After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant and stood on the roadside waiting for the red light.

At this time, Toyokawa Shoko's cell phone vibrated twice.

She opened her phone and took a look. It was a notification from the work group. Due to the increase in workload, the afternoon shift time was moved forward by one hour to 1:30 p.m.

Toyokawa Shoko was startled and quickly checked the time. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

It takes only half an hour to get from here to the tram station and then to the customer service building.

She felt a little anxious unconsciously, and when she saw the green light, she immediately took a step forward.

Before my foot touched the ground, a shrill whistle sounded in my ears.

Before she could turn around to look, she felt someone picking her up and then pushing her whole body backwards.

It was also at this moment that she saw a car driving quickly past the place she had just wanted to pass.

It looks like he rushed over just now before the green light.

Toyokawa Shoko was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and felt that her breathing and thinking had temporarily stopped.

Then she felt herself being lowered, her feet touching the ground again.

Then, Baichuan Ze's slightly trembling voice rang in my ears.

"Xiangzi, are you okay?"

This frightened Baichuan Ze, and he subconsciously said the other person's name.

After a few seconds, Toyokawa Shoko finally understood what had just happened.

In an instant, the relief of surviving the disaster and the strong fear brought about by the instinctive fear of death collided with each other. The huge emotional stimulation made her feel a slight sense of weightlessness. She subconsciously grabbed Baichuanze's arm, and at the same time began to breathe deeply, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Baichuan Ze didn't know why the other party was suddenly so anxious to cross the road, but now was not the time to ask this.

The first thing to do now is to calm the other person's emotions and restore his consciousness from the "absence" state just now.

After all, this kind of sudden incident is too much of a psychological shock.

At that moment just now, even though he had experienced many separations and deaths, he felt his heart twitch violently.

He held the other's hand with one hand, exerted a little force, and gently stroked the other's back with the other hand, while speaking in a gentle tone,

"Shoko, I'm Shirakawa Ze, everything is fine now."

"Look at me, Xiangzi. Don't think too much now. Just look at me."

Toyokawa Shoko moved her eyes slightly and saw the boy's clear eyes full of concern. She felt that the scene in front of her seemed a little unreal.

She slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch the face of the boy in front of her, but she only raised her hand halfway and did not dare to move forward.

She was a little afraid that what she saw was an illusion, and that all this was just a dying fantasy.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's actions, Shirakawa Ze immediately grabbed her raised hand and pressed it against his face.

After touching the boy's warm skin, Toyokawa Shoko's fingertips moved slightly subconsciously. After confirming that everything in front of her was not her own imagination, the feeling of weightlessness began to gradually disappear, but her tears became more and more.

"Ze..."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth with difficulty, forcing out the syllables.

Baichuanze nodded immediately.

"Yes, it's me."

After seeing the other party gradually recover, Baichuan Ze breathed a sigh of relief and took out a tissue to wipe away the other party's tears.

After a few minutes, when she had recovered her composure, Toyokawa Shoko spoke again.

"Ze... I really don't know how to thank you..."

"I……"

Her voice faded away.

She no longer knew what to say.

Baichuanze patted her shoulder gently.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

"Do you want to find a place to rest first?"

Toyokawa Shoko continued to lower her eyes.

"I...I don't want to be outside..."

"But my family..."

Shirakawa Ze understood.

"Then let's go to my house. I live alone."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded to show her agreement, and at the same time moved her feet, but her feet went weak and she almost fell.

It seems that the physiological effects of the previous incident have not yet completely disappeared.

Shirakawa Ze held the girl with one hand and hailed a taxi with the other.

After arriving home, the boy took out a new pair of slippers.

At this moment, he was somewhat thankful for his foresight in preparing a shoe cabinet full of slippers.

After asking Toyokawa Shoko to sit down, Shirakawa Ze took a bottle of water and placed it on the table in front of her, then sat down.

"Xiangzi, take a rest first, don't think too much."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, thanked him softly, then took a sip of water and lowered her head silently.

At this moment, she felt that language was so pale.

She felt that no matter what she said now, it would have no weight and could not accurately express the emotions she wanted to convey.

But she didn't have the ability to do anything for the other person.

My life is extremely difficult now, but the situation has eased recently, thanks to the part-time job opportunity provided by the other party.

In this situation, how could she say anything to repay the other party?

If you say you will be grateful later but fail to do it, what is the difference between that and cheating?

She suddenly felt that she was very hateful.

The present is besieged by life, and the future is unclear, so I can't even say thank you.

She clenched her fists and spoke with difficulty.

"Ze... I'm so sorry. I don't have the ability or confidence to say thank you right now."

"But...if there is an opportunity, if it is something I can do, I will definitely not hesitate for a moment, I will definitely try my best..."

Baichuanze sighed softly, patted her hands gently, and waited until she stopped before speaking.

"Xiangzi, even now, aren't you willing to relax a little?"

"Even if it's just for a short while, to give yourself a break?"

"To be honest, every time I see you tense up while eating, I feel really bad."

"Of course I shouldn't judge others by my own standards. I should respect your choices and your life, but as your friend, sometimes I can be a little selfish."

"I want to see Toyokawa Shoko smile."

In fact, when the two were together, Toyokawa Shoko laughed a lot.

The word "laugh" here is actually a word with a more referential meaning.

Toyokawa Shoko understood what the other person meant, and also realized that the other person actually saw through her and that she was deliberately "not laughing".

It turns out that he...knows everything...

It turns out that all along, the other party has been taking care of my self-esteem that I have deliberately held up, and has been tolerating my shallow willfulness...

It turns out that the other person has always been on the other side of my heart, silently watching over me...

But I have been stubbornly holding on to my self-righteous pride...

Her tears gradually blurred...
