After feeling more relaxed, she looked up at Baichuanze and smiled.

"Thank you, Ze-kun."

"I just thought about it and felt that I had not considered some things properly."

"Maybe I really need to think it over before taking any action."

Baichuan Ze nodded and looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him. He felt that behind this smiling face was an extremely tired soul.

He knew that not all of the other party's thoughts and actions were correct, but in some ways, he could still understand the other party's feelings.

I also know how much effort it actually takes for the other person to force a smile.

He patted the other's hand to comfort him.

"Su Shi, thank you for your hard work all along."

“Sometimes, you can relax a little.”

Then he looked away, stood up, and walked towards the refrigerator.

"You probably haven't had dinner yet, so just stay here and eat with me."

"It's only courtesy. Try my cooking this time."

But there was no response from the other party.

He looked back with some curiosity, only to find that the other person was lowering her head and wiping away tears.

Bai Chuan Ze was startled, not knowing what was going on. He hurriedly walked up to her, took out a tissue and handed it to her. At the same time, he half-knelt down, stared at her, and his voice was full of concern.

"Su Shi, what's wrong with you?"

The more Nagasaki Motoyo wiped her tears, the more tears she shed. After a while, she could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Shirakawa Ze's arms. At the same time, she heard a sobbing voice.

"Why do you say thank you for your hard work!"

"Why……"

She felt that the wall of her heart that she had built up for so long collapsed after hearing the words "thank you for your hard work".

Ever since she could remember, she had known how to hide her emotions from her parents who were always arguing.

After her parents divorced, she became even more afraid to express her true feelings facing the strange looks from people around her.

Later, when her mother became successful in her career, she transferred to Tsuki no Mori, an aristocratic academy where many descendants of celebrities gathered, and she had a mask welded on her face from then on.

Over the years, gentleness, kindness, and appreciation have become her subconscious reactions, and she can switch to the state she wants effortlessly.

In the eyes of her elders, she is mature, sensible and well-behaved; in the eyes of her peers, she is gentle, kind and reliable.

But that's just the image I try hard to maintain.

The real her has long forgotten what she originally looked like.

She only knew that the mask on her face was becoming heavier and heavier.

so tired……

It’s so hard…

I really want to relax...

As I get older, these thoughts occur less frequently, but when they do occur, the emotions they carry become more intense.

But she has always kept it hidden very well.

Even when she was at her most relaxed, no one could understand her feelings in this regard.

But she was very happy at that time, and even felt that the mask on her face was lighter.

But since the band broke up, that old feeling has returned, even more intensely.

This made her feel unbearable most of the time.

She felt that she had behaved perfectly so far and no one should notice her disguise.

But unexpectedly, the young man in front of him easily saw through his disguise.

This instantly made her let down all her psychological defenses, and the emotions and grievances that had been suppressed for so many years burst out.

Her face was pressed tightly against Baichuan Ze's chest, and her hands slowly hugged him tightly.

It felt like a lonely shipwreck survivor drifting on the sea, clinging to the only piece of driftwood in front of him...

Volume 1: Chapter 71: Weak Xiaoxiang prepares to step out

Along with the venting of emotions, Nagasaki Suyo's long-suppressed mental fatigue was gradually released.

Before she knew it, she was overcome by sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

He saw the girl in his arms slowly stop crying, her breathing gradually became steady, and she even uttered a few words in her sleep.

Shirakawa Ze began to sweat.

No, buddy?

Falling asleep now?

Sighing in his heart, Baichuanze carefully carried her to the bed in the bedroom, then found that he was holding her a little too tightly, so he had to slowly move her hand away.

"I wish you were this enthusiastic when you were chasing Xiaoxiang."

After complaining in his heart, Baichuan Ze covered her with a quilt, then walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

Although the walls and doors of the room have soundproofing effects, they are very limited. If he cooks, he will definitely wake the other person up, so he decided to go out and buy food.

After changing his tear-stained shirt, Shirakawa Ze went out to a nearby small restaurant, ordered a set meal at random, and then sat down.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. There were not many people around in this ordinary residential area. Including him, there were only two other customers in the store.

Another customer was sitting right in front of him, and only his back could be seen.

Judging from the back alone, he should be a tall middle-aged man.

His body blocked my view, so I couldn't see what he was eating, but there were quite a few beer cans on the table.

Judging from the look the shopkeeper gave me from time to time, it was likely that I hadn't paid yet.

"Sir, your order has arrived. Please enjoy your meal."

Along with the boss's voice, the set meal ordered by Shirakawa Ze was placed in front of him.

He nodded and said thank you, then took out the money for the meal and handed it over.

The taste of the rice was good, but not to be raved about. Shirakawa Ze ate it calmly, just like any other day.

"Um... you, the guest, consumed two servings of eel rice and eight cans of beer, a total of 3600 yuan."

"You only have 600 yuan... you still need 3000..."

The boss's polite voice came to Baichuan Ze's ears.

Clearly, this was a difficult customer.

But he didn't look up.

It’s none of your business, as long as it doesn’t affect your meals.

"That's all I have to say... Do you want love?"

He heard a voice he had never heard before, with a slurred tongue and a drunken tone. It was obvious that the person was drunk.

The boss's voice was still polite.

"Dear guest, please understand that it is not easy to run our small shop. We have two children at home..."

The drunk interrupted directly.

"Child, child?"

"I have kids too!"

"Yes! I have a child too!"

As if he had thought of something, the drunk's voice was filled with excitement.

"I'll call her now!"

Half a minute later, the drunk's voice sounded again.

"I, my phone is out of payment."

"Let me use your phone!"

As if he had sensed something, Baichuan Ze raised his eyes and met the drunkard's gaze.

The drunk had already made the call, but he did not respond to the puzzled "Hello?" on the phone. Instead, he stared at Baichuan Ze and shouted,

"What are you looking at, kid?!"

"What are you looking at, you little brat!"

Baichuan Ze felt a little dizzy. It would be a crime for him to even look up at you.

But he was too lazy to argue with such a drunkard and continued to eat with his head down.

When the drunk saw that he was being ignored, he immediately picked up a stool and smashed it at Baichuan Ze.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, the stool hit the table, then bounced to the ground, rolling a few times.

Bai Chuanze, who had already pulled away, saw that the meal he had just eaten was smashed. He became angry and locked his eyes on the drunk.

"This set meal is 800 yen. If you buy me another one, I won't argue with you."
