Zongman: People are in the music show, relaxed and happy

She was truly grateful to the other party from the bottom of her heart. Whether it was the support along the way, the tolerance like the sea, or the warmth like the sun, she was deeply moved.

She originally thought that it was okay for her to trust him and accept his help.

Because I will also work hard and accumulate strength, and when I am able to do so, I can repay the other person.

But now I think about it, these are just excuses to numb myself.

Judging from the current situation of the two, the gap between them will only get bigger as time goes on.

Especially under the influence of the above-mentioned ideas, one will only become more dependent on the economic resources provided by the other party and give up one's own exploration and efforts, and eventually become a vassal of the other party.

If that's the case, then what's the difference between them and the animals that are kept in captivity and fed in zoos?

If everything you gain comes from the other party, what's the point of talking about return?

So even though she was very conflicted inside and knew that her actions would inevitably hurt the other person, Toyokawa Shoko still decided to say those words to the other person today.

Seeing that the other party had spoken for her, she felt even more guilty, but it did not shake her decision. She just looked away again with an apologetic look on her face.

"Sorry……"

Baichuan Ze did not show any emotion at first. After taking a sip of coffee, his eyes moved down along with the cup in his hand.

"Where's Deng-chan?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes flickered, and she tightened her grip on her arm. After a long while, she spoke slowly, her voice weaker.

"I... myself don't have much communication with Deng-chan..."

Bai Chuanze took a deep breath, calmed down, opened his phone, took a look, and then pointed the screen towards the other party.

"Xiangzi, it's 5:19 pm now."

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."

"Five twenty-nine, if you're willing to retract what you just said, I can pretend I didn't hear it, and we can still get along like before."

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and prepared to say something.

Bai Chuanze interrupted her directly.

"Xiangzi, let's talk about it when the time comes."

"I don't want to hear it now."

Toyokawa Shoko swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, then turned her head to look at the ground, the curve of her neck still stubborn.

She felt as if she was back to a year ago, when she was facing everyone in CRYCHICI in the practice room.

At that time, she was also drawing a line between herself and her most important friends.

Bidding farewell to the beautiful past.

She admitted that she had been very happy since she became friends with Shirakawa Ze.

But it was this happiness that made her start to lose her edge and become soft.

In her view, this was an unforgivable fall.

She felt that she was not worthy of enjoying these things now. Her only way out was to break through the darkness with her own body and find her own light.

Instead of mistaking the brilliance of others as your own strength.

"Tick...tick..."

She felt as if there was a sound of a second hand ticking, ringing in her ears.

The reflection of the piano covering his feet also shifted slightly.

Finally, she heard Baichuanze's voice.

"Xiangzi, the time has come."

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes had calmed down. She raised her head and looked at the other person.

"I'm sorry, Ze."

Volume 1: Chapter 175: Confession of the Light

Baichuan Ze stared at the girl in front of him, still showing no emotion.

"Xiangzi, do you want to explain or clarify anything you just said to me?"

"Or, in what way have I offended you?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head.

"No, Ze...No problem, it's all my problem."

Baichuan Ze continued to ask,

"So what kind of relationship does Xiangzi want us to maintain now?"

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Except for necessary contacts, try not to contact others if possible."

Bai Chuanze looked at her, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

"Xiangzi, I don't know what happened to you. Maybe you have your own thoughts and difficulties."

"But your current behavior is seriously damaging the friendship between us."

"When you saw me, you didn't explain anything to me and just chose to cut ties with me."

"I can't remain magnanimous when facing you like this."

He exhaled and continued to look at the other person.

"Based on what you said, can I understand that if there is no reason for us to contact each other, then we don't need to contact each other anymore?"

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Baichuanze was silent for a moment, then took out the mobile phone he usually used to shoot videos and placed it on the table.

"This phone is used to shoot videos and also to operate the backend of your video account."

"The account on the social software is usually used for various business purposes."

"From now on, these will be your responsibility."

"As for the recording, don't bother you. I'll find someone else."

"The filming equipment and other things will also be left with you."

"I will send you these things and the price of the piano room annual pass later."

"For the sake of our past friendship, I won't rush you into anything."

He stood up and walked up to the other person.

"Toyokawa-san, please give me the lyrics I handed you first."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the boy in front of her with a little surprise, her mouth slightly opened, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent, turned around, took out the lyrics from her schoolbag and handed it over.

Shirakawa Ze took the lyrics and looked at the girl in front of him.

"The client of the other lyrics has his contact information on the social media app on your phone. You can handle it freely."

"Including the Party A representative of the orange juice advertisement, the contact information is also included."

"There shouldn't be any reason for us to contact each other now, right?"

"Toyokawa-san doesn't need to worry about anything anymore."

"Since you want to draw a line, just do it directly."

"I wish you all the best in the future."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

When he reached the door, he stopped and looked at the girl who was still silent.

"Dengjiang's second live show will be at RiNG at 7pm this Saturday."

"She still remembers what you said before, that you wanted to go to her next live show."

"That's all I have to say."

"Goodbye."

After watching the other person leave, Toyokawa Shoko's momentum collapsed instantly. She hugged her arms even tighter and clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making any sound.

After calming down a bit, she slowly walked to the sofa, picked up the phone,

Watching Bai Chuanze's messages to various people on social media and in the background of his video account, she could no longer control her emotions. She held her phone tightly with both hands, covered her chest, and burst into tears...

……

After walking out of the piano store, Bai Chuanze took a deep breath and felt quite depressed. He felt as if he had worked hard for a long time but all his efforts were in vain.

Sighing, he walked towards his residence.

When he walked near RiNG, he saw Gao Songdeng standing in front of a tree with his back to him, looking up at something.

When he got closer, he saw a rhinoceros beetle lying on the tree trunk.

"Light-chan."

After walking up to the girl, Baichuanze gently took her hand.

Gao Songdeng withdrew his attention, turned his head and saw the boy beside him, with gentle ripples in his eyes. He held the other's hand, then looked at the rhinoceros beetle again, and the ripples in his eyes turned into excitement.

"Zejun, it's a rhinoceros beetle!"

Baichuanze nodded.
