Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

...

In the bustling downtown, the sound of car horns is endless.

After escaping, Xiangzi walked on the road with her head down, as if her soul had been sucked out. At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to call her a puppet.

Xiangzi's steps were heavy and slow, and every step seemed to be fighting against the ground. Her eyes were empty and confused, as if she had lost focus.

The noise around her came like a tide, but she seemed to be in another world, unaware of everything.

The big screen above her head kept flashing, playing the latest news and interviews with band experts. Those glamorous images and sounds echoed in her ears, but failed to arouse her interest.

Her heart was filled with pain and struggle, and all her dreams had now turned into nothing.

“不好意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】...”

A passerby, who was playing with his phone, bumped into Xiangzi's shoulder. He simply said sorry and continued playing with his phone.

And Shoko Toyokawa was completely devastated.

She knelt on the ground, with tear-stained eyes, and looked up at the big screen that was so noisy that it seemed to be mocking her.

A video of the band's debut performance was playing above. Soon, a band expert with pigtails on his head pointed at Bai Ye in the video and analyzed it calmly.

"It's possible that Bai Ye is the magician of the Aurora band, but it's a little unlikely that Bai Ye is the magician of the Aurora band."

[Another white night, and you again]

【Why? On what basis?】

【It's all because of you, Bai Ye】

Xiangzi heard Bai Ye's name on TV again, and her anger could no longer be suppressed. She stared at Bai Ye on the video.

Bai Ye's smile on the TV screen was still bright, but Xiangzi felt that it was extremely glaring. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment.

She knew that she had to make changes and no longer be bound by memories of the past.

[Since that’s the case, then let me… cut off my attachment and forget everything.]

【Bai Ye, Xiangzi is already dead】

My name is Oblivionis

Xiangzi stood up slowly, his eyes full of determination.

She knew that she had no way back and that the only way to find her own answer was to move forward.

Since you took away my beloved

Then I will also take away everything from you.

[I will lead Ave Mujica and completely crush your Aurora]

As Xiangzi thought about it, he lowered his body towards the screen.

But this time, she calmly grabbed the hem of her skirt and saluted like a noble.

Xiangzi's movements were slow and graceful. He gently lifted the hem of his skirt with his fingers, bent his knees slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of pride and confidence.

A hint of coldness flashed through her heart, as if she was declaring war on Bai Ye on the screen.

"Aurora Band, let's start the show!"

The moonlight gently sprinkled on Toyokawa Shoko Oblivionis like a silver yarn, covering her with a layer of mysterious glow.

Her figure appeared particularly clear against the moonlight, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

The backlight outlines the contours of her figure, forming her unique background, making her look like an aristocrat walking out of the night with an inviolable majesty.

However, a card suddenly appeared in a corner that Shoko Toyokawa didn't notice.

If Bai Ye was there, he would recognize him immediately.

That is [Command], the person behind the scenes who controls everything about the Aurora Band.

There was only a short sentence written on the card.

“Interesting, Aurora accepts your challenge.

———To those who can't see this message, those who pretend to be strong with their backs to the moonlight, those who are ignorant, those who are still pretending to be strong, those who are still fantasizing, those who have amnesia, those who work part-time in customer service agencies, those who have a drunkard father, those who pretend to be out of touch, those who will run away after listening to a song, those who can't afford to eat, those who have to dilute shampoo, those who are about to go bad, those who have been abandoned, and those who are obsessed with middle school, the tough-talking master of Yugaoka Class B, Miss Ob a string of letters. "

Chapter 65: My Confession

After the successful performance of Kasuga Shadow, Nagasaki Motoyo's body suddenly softened, fell straight back, and fainted on the ground.

Maybe it was because she had only slept three or four hours a day recently, and the dark circles under her eyes were like thick shadows.

It may also be because she has been eating casually and perfunctorily recently, and her cheeks have become much thinner.

Perhaps the biggest reason was that her wish was finally fulfilled, her tense nerves relaxed all of a sudden, and her body also collapsed.

"Su Shi, Su Shi, Su Shi, wake up quickly..."

Before closing her eyes completely, Su Shi used up her last bit of strength to open them. Looking at Bai Ye's anxious eyes, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

[I'm fine, Bai Ye, let me have a good sleep]

Don't worry, smile.

Her body felt heavy, as if filled with lead. Just before she lost consciousness, she felt a pair of strong hands holding her whole body.

Gentle, comfortable, and reassuring hands lifted her up like a princess.

...

When Su Shi slowly opened his eyes again, what came into view was the familiar ceiling of his own room.

Is this a dream?

Su Shi was in a trance for a moment. She began to doubt whether the little things she experienced in Ring were just an extremely real yet illusory dream, and not something that really happened at all.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, and crystal tears rolled around in her eye sockets, as if they would roll down at any time.

"Don't cry, you've cried so many times."

A voice suddenly sounded above her head, with a hint of doting and helpless smile in the voice, which was both strange and familiar.

Su Shi immediately recognized that it was Bai Ye's voice.

She turned her head slightly and saw Bai Ye with his head down, gazing at her lying there with gentle eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

"It turned out not to be a dream, thank goodness it wasn't a dream, thank goodness it wasn't a dream... It really is you, Bai Ye."

There was a hint of trembling in Su Shi's voice, and this time she really could not stop her tears. They flowed down her cheeks like a flood that broke through a dam.

Bai Ye leaned over gently and wiped the corners of her eyes carefully with his hands. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be a dream? Stop crying, or you'll become a crybaby."

Su Shi felt that he had lost his composure and was about to get up, but Bai Ye gently pressed him down again.

"You should rest for a while, don't force it."

The back of Su Shi's head rested against Bai Ye's thigh again, and the soft and warm touch made her heart skip a beat.

Wait, thigh?

Su Shi raised his head in shock and looked at Bai Ye who was still smiling, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why...why did you give me a knee pillow?" Su Shi asked with a slight stutter, her cheeks flushed with surprise and shyness.

Bai Ye's smile deepened when he heard this. "Hong Xia said that doing this would make you feel much more at ease."

"Hongxia?"

"What's wrong? Don't you like me giving you a lap pillow? Then I'm getting up."

"No..." Su Shi quickly denied it, then took a deep breath, with a hint of attachment and reluctance in his voice, "Let me lie down for a while, you said you wanted to rest for a while."

[Let me secretly and greedily get closer to you a little bit]

Bai Ye's long hair, as blue as the moon, hung down gently, and from time to time, it touched Su Shi's cheek, bringing an itchy and numb feeling.

At the same time, a pleasant and unique fragrance belonging to Bai Ye flooded into Su Shi's mind, causing her heartbeat to speed up a bit.

In her eyes, he seemed like a beautiful boy who walked out of a painting, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his cheek.

Su Shi greedily took in Bai Ye's handsome appearance without reservation, and her eyes were full of obsession and attachment.

"that..."

Bai Ye seemed to want to say something, but Su Shi spoke first, "Bai Ye, just call me Su Shi from now on."

"what?"

"I really did a lot of wrong things. I can't be your sister anymore." There was a hint of sadness and self-blame in Su Shi's voice, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

“But we are family.”

"She's a family member, but not a sister. At least I hope so privately." Su Shi raised her head and looked at Bai Ye firmly, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

[I don’t want to be just your sister anymore, my Bai Ye]

"Okay...Su Shi." Bai Ye stiffened slightly, and an unnatural curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah, I heard Bai Ye."

Then, the two fell into silence, a silence that was subtly awkward yet mixed with a hint of tenderness.

They all understood each other tacitly, and no one mentioned the unpleasant past events. They just stayed together quietly.

Su Shi buried her head deeply in Bai Ye's thighs, her cheek against his legs, feeling the warm body temperature, trying to give herself some comfort.

After a long time, so long that Bai Ye's thighs were numb, Su Shi seemed to have mustered up all the courage in his life and told Bai Ye what was in his heart.

"Lixi said I was a scumbag, a heartless bastard. I think she was right..."

"Even though you did so much for Kulaixiku, I still said those words to you and did those things..."

"..."

Bai Ye didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to Su Shi's confession.

"Yili also tried to persuade me, telling me not to give up and that it wouldn't matter if I failed."

"But before that performance, I had already given up..."

"..."

Bai Ye silently stroked Su Shi's forehead gently. His fingers shuttled through Su Shi's hair, helping her to tidy up her messy bangs.

"And Aine too, she came over to mock me, but I actually knew she wanted me to stop running away."

"But I have been avoiding you. I don't have the courage to see you..."

"..."

The more Su Shi spoke, the more tears accumulated in the corners of her eyes. Those crystal tears rolled around in her eye sockets, as if they would burst out at any time, but she forced them to be locked in her slightly twisted lower eye sockets.

"Xiao Deng, too. She cared about me so much, but I still hurt her."

"She never gave up on me, but I told her to leave me alone."

"I'm really ruthless..."

Tears are still flowing, falling drop by drop, like beads that have broken off the string, constantly wetting the corners of Bai Ye's clothes.

Su Shi straightened her face and looked at Bai Ye who was lowering his head. Her eyes were full of pain and struggle, the corners of her mouth were trembling violently, and her voice had lost its previous gentleness and became very fragile.

"I'm just such an ugly, heartless, give-up-easy, escapist bastard."

"Can I really be your family?"

As Su Shi spoke, the corners of her mouth trembled violently and her voice became intermittent. Her eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety, as if she was waiting for a crucial answer.

Seeing this, Bai Ye lowered his head even lower, getting closer and closer to Su Shi.

"You don't know, Li Xi also said that family members hurt each other unintentionally, dislike and hate each other, but can also tolerate each other."

"You don't know that for Hong Xia, family means supporting each other and caring about each other."

"You don't know, Aine also said that family is unique."

"Yamada Ryoya jokes that family is her wallet, but I know she cares about her family too."

Bai Ye's head finally lowered to the lowest point, touching Su Shi's forehead.

"And for me, Sushi, as a family member..."

"Ugly, ruthless, gives up easily, loves to escape..."
