I have pure love with them

Even if we don't want to think in a negative direction, the current situation indicates that Nagasaki Shoyo is now under the influence of Chihaya Izumi. The two may have reached a deal in some way. Nagasaki Shoyo obeyed Chihaya Izumi's request, and the price was...

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lip and thought all this was ridiculous.

'Why would she do such a thing? Why would she go to such lengths? Does she know what she is doing?'

Adjusting her fluctuating mood, she placed her hands on the table and stood up.

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu raised his head and looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who had a determined expression and seemed to have made a decision.

"Me...together?"

"no need."

When faced with Wakaba Mutsu who volunteered, Toyokawa Shoko's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then she refused. She silently paid the bill for both of them, then left the coffee shop alone with her backpack, leaving Wakaba Mutsu alone again.

"..."

The feeling of déjà vu made Ruoye Mu raise his head and look at the street outside the window.

"... Let's go back?"

……

Although she was reluctant to meet Nagasaki Soyo, the current situation was no longer a question of whether or not to meet him for Toyokawa Shoko. Instead, she wanted to understand why Nagasaki Soyo did such a thing and to what extent he had reached this point.

She no longer has Nagasaki Soushi's contact information, so she has no way of knowing where Nagasaki Soushi is now, but she knows where Nagasaki Soushi lives.

After asking for leave from her workplace, Shoko Toyokawa took the train to Roppongi in the Minato Ward and stood in front of the luxurious apartment where the Nagasaki family lived. She looked at the entrance door of the apartment in silence, bit her lip, walked into the hall and waited quietly.

She didn't have Nagasaki Souyo's contact information, so if she wanted to meet Nagasaki Souyo, she could only use this "stupid method".

But as the night outside grew darker, Toyokawa Shoko, with mixed feelings, was thinking about how to speak to Nagasaki Soyo and ask about her current situation, a familiar figure appeared from the entrance and walked slowly towards the elevator in the hall.

"Nagasaki."

Suddenly awakened from her thoughts, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and subconsciously called out to the other person.

"..."

After finishing the band's activities, Nagasaki Shoyo returned to his apartment alone, and as usual, he was about to take the elevator back home, have dinner alone and go to rest, ending his uneventful day, when the voice of Toyokawa Shoko was heard in the corner of the hall.

"Ok?"

For a moment, Nagasaki Soyo was a little bit unbelieving, wondering if she was hallucinating, but when she turned around to look in the direction where the voice came from, the dignified and elegant posture and the familiar blue hair twin ponytails made Nagasaki Soyo's eyes widen instantly.

"Really... it's coming."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who appeared in front of him and seemed to be waiting for him in this hall, Nagasaki Shoyo seemed to have returned to the afternoon when the other party invited him to join the band.

"She still cares about me..."

Her heart, which she thought she had completely stopped caring about, was touched again. She showed a soft expression and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who walked in front of her with a smile on her face.

"Xiang... Fengchuan-san, why are you here?"

Although he was very happy, Nagasaki Shoyo pretended that he knew nothing and asked Toyokawa Shoko why she was here.

'necklace……'

Her amber eyes stared at Nagasaki Sose's fair neck, and when she saw the white collar that was pressed against her skin, she couldn't help but bite her lips.

Looking at Nagasaki Shoyo's surprised expression again, a feeling of anger arose in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

"You, do you know what you are doing?!"

The stern look and tone made Nagasaki Shoyo stunned for a moment.

"Xiangzi...are you concerned about me?"

Nagasaki Soyo was so surprised that she didn't even realize that she had spoken out her thoughts, causing Toyokawa Shoko who was standing in front of her to frown.

"Now, I'm asking you a question, please answer me, do you know what you are doing?"

"What are you doing... You ask such a strange question right at the beginning. I don't know what question you are asking, Xiangzi."

Looking at the angry expression of Toyokawa Shoko in front of her, Nagasaki Shoyo inexplicably felt a strong sense of satisfaction in her heart. She felt Toyokawa Shoko's concern and answered with a smile.

"Which question...are you still going to play dumb now? Well...after seeing this, you should know, right?"

Taking out a thick envelope from her shoulder bag, Toyokawa Shoko held it in front of Nagasaki Shoyo and questioned him.

"..."

The strange envelope made Nagasaki Shoyo stunned for a moment. Her eyes were full of confusion, but the next moment, she understood the meaning of the envelope.

255. You are only thinking about yourself.

"Is this the reward that Quan Jun mentioned?"

Looking at the envelope in Toyokawa Shoko's and Roubaisu's hands, Nagasaki Shoyo finally understood what the "reward" that Izumi had mentioned to him was.

Even though she had never handled a large amount of cash, looking at the thickness of the envelope, Nagasaki Shoyo made a rough estimate in her mind and thought that there would be no less than a hundred bills. For a moment, she was a little surprised at Izumi's wealth.

After a brief moment of confusion, an expression of understanding appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face.

"Ah, so this is what Toyokawa-san was talking about? Well, it's not a big deal. I just learned from Izumi-kun that Toyokawa-san really needs this right now, so I tried to ask Izumi-kun to help Toyokawa-san. Don't take it to heart."

Toyokawa Shoko clenched the envelope in her hand, looking at Nagasaki Shoyo who was smiling at her with indifference, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Are you...looking down on me?"

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko stared coldly at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her.

"Eh?"

Nagasaki Soyo noticed that Toyokawa Shoko seemed angry. Looking at her slightly trembling body, she felt a little confused. She didn't expect that her answer would cause such a big reaction from Toyokawa Shoko.

But for Toyokawa Shoko, who had suffered an unfortunate incident and became very sensitive, Nagasaki Shoyo's speech was full of condescending feelings. In the face of the misfortune she had encountered, he treated her with a contemptuous attitude, as if giving her alms.

Slowly walking in front of Nagasaki Shoyo, Toyokawa Shoko stuffed the envelope into her arms just as Izumi had done before, pressed it firmly against Nagasaki Shoyo's chest, and stared at her with cold eyes.

"I don't need your charity, and I won't be responsible for your own foolish actions. If you don't cherish yourself, don't appear in front of me again."

Her current life has indeed been greatly affected, and she no longer has the easy living environment she used to have, but Toyokawa Shoko does not feel that there is no chance for her life to change. She only needs to maintain her current grades and safely enter university. Even if her future life is not smooth sailing, she will not fall to the point where she needs help.

She couldn't change what had already happened. She had no interest in knowing how much Nagasaki Shoyo had "sacrificed" and what kind of deal he had reached with Chihaya Izumi.

Judging from what happened before, everything Nagasaki Shoyo did was to get her back into the band.

"You don't understand anything, you just indulge in self-satisfaction and do meaningless things. It's about time you wake up, right? Everything is over now, forget about the past."

Staring at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her with cold eyes, Toyokawa Shoko tried to persuade the person in front of her, not wanting him to immerse himself in the memories of the past and do something strange.

Holding the envelope in his hands blankly, Nagasaki Soyo stared blankly at Toyokawa Shoko, whose words were so cold.

"Forget... why do you say such cruel words? The band is a community of shared destiny... didn't Xiaoxiang say that? And... it was Xiaoxiang who formed the band at that time... why? Why do we have to completely forget it now?!"

Contrary to what she had imagined, Toyokawa Shoko's emotionless words deeply hurt Nagasaki Soyo's heart. She thought that even if she faced Toyokawa Shoko's rejection again, there would not be any ripples in her heart, but when she really faced it, she could not suppress her emotions at all.

"Yes, I started it all, so I'm going to end it myself. That's enough, Nagasaki Soyo. You're the only one who wants to reunite the band. Besides, you already have a new band, right? If you want to play house, just join them."

Facing Nagasaki Souse's incredulous look, Toyokawa Shoko felt annoyed.

Knowing that the two could not understand each other, Toyokawa Shoko gave up trying to persuade her and turned around and walked towards the door of the apartment.

"...playing house...wait a minute! Don't go!"

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko turning around and about to leave, Nagasaki Shoyo didn't have time to think, he moved first, caught up with Toyokawa Shoko and hugged her arms with both hands.

"No! Don't leave! Please, come back! I will do anything I can!"

Her voice was already tearful. Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and looked at Nagasaki Soyo who was pestering her. Her patience had reached its limit, especially after hearing her "I'll do anything". She looked at her with cold eyes.

Nagasaki Soyo hugged Toyokawa Shoko's wrists with both hands, lowered his head and begged Toyokawa Shoko to stay. He didn't even dare to look directly at the other person's expression, praying that the other person was willing to stay.

"How confident are you that you said this?"

"what……"

After hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said, Nagasaki Shoyo subconsciously raised his head, thinking about how to answer in order to keep Toyokawa Shoko. At this time, he glanced at Nagasaki Shoyo who was kneeling on the ground, and Toyokawa Shoko's eyes changed from indifference to contempt.

“As a student, can you shoulder the responsibility of other people’s lives? ‘I will do everything’ is such a heavy word. Don’t easily say something you can’t do.”

These words deeply hurt Nagasaki Sose's heart, making her feel insecure. She unconsciously loosened her hands around Toyokawa Shoko a little, and Toyokawa Shoko took the opportunity to break free from her hands.

"But, I really..."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was unable to provide any guarantees for his words, could only express his feelings in the face of Toyokawa Shoko's cold expression, hoping to move the person in front of him.

"You, your mind is full of yourself."

Having lost the only patience and tenderness she had for Nagasaki Soushi, Toyokawa Shoko sentenced Nagasaki Soushi to the "selfish" "death penalty".

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko turned and left, leaving Nagasaki Shoyo kneeling there, staring at Toyokawa Shoko's back, and fell into silence. He wanted to keep her, but he felt blocked and couldn't speak. He watched Toyokawa Shoko leave in despair...

Nagasaki Soyo lowered her head dejectedly. After being told the truth by Toyokawa Shoko, she felt desolate inside. Pain and despair grew in her heart. She understood that she could no longer keep Toyokawa Shoko.

When Nagasaki Soushi was kneeling like a sculpture at the entrance of the hall, slow footsteps were heard and stopped in front of Nagasaki Soushi.

"…Are you okay, Shuangshi?"

The familiar and worried words made Nagasaki Souyo's body tremble suddenly. She raised her neck stiffly, her hair falling messily in front of her forehead, and stared at the person who appeared in front of her.

"..."

It was difficult for Ms. Nagasaki to describe her feelings. She had not expected that she would see such an incomprehensible scene just because she returned home a little earlier today.

"Just now……"

Nagasaki Soyo, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly clenched his hands, and under the gaze of Ms. Nagasaki, he slowly stood up.

"It's okay... eh? Shuangshi, where are you going?!"

Ms. Nagasaki was just about to comfort her daughter and ask what had happened, but under her gaze, Nagasaki Soyo, who had just stood up, suddenly dodged her and rushed out of the hall, disappearing in front of her before she could react.

Ms. Nagasaki was so frightened that she tried to chase after him, but when she reached the door, she had lost sight of her daughter. She bit her lip and slowly turned back, trying to find some clues.

"envelope?"
