Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

After saying this, Su Shi turned and looked down at Miao Meng with a warning expression. The corners of her mouth turned down, as if she had already seen through everything.

Miao Meng couldn't hold it in any longer and jumped up angrily, shaking his fists behind his back and shouting, "What on earth are you doing? Do I know you? You have to make trouble, right?!"

"Why would I make trouble? I really can't eat anymore~" Su Shi closed his eyes and smiled, his tone was very gentle.

But Bai Ye behind her couldn't see it. When Su Shi opened her eyes, there was already a strong hostility in her eyes.

Miao Meng gritted her teeth, and the words from her mouth erupted like a volcano, "You guy! You are so hypocritical."

The whole scene was filled with tension. Hong Xia, who was standing nearby, stood up and said with a smile, "Hey, you two, calm down for a moment. Let's put this aside for now."

“How can I put it aside!” & “How can I put it aside!”

Su Shi and Miao Meng shouted at Hong Xia at the same time. Their voices intertwined in the restaurant, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

"But it's useless for you to make so much noise..." Yamada Ryo pointed to Bai Ye's empty seat.

"Bai Ye ran away a long time ago..."

"what?!"

There was a note placed on Bai Ye's seat, which read: I'm full, thank you for the treat.

A cold wind blew.

Only five people were left, looking at each other in bewilderment at their respective positions.

The chandelier in the restaurant swayed gently in the wind, and the light and shadows intertwined, reflecting on everyone's face.

"Chirp Chirp Milk Tea, the dishes are all here."

The manager placed the last dish on three tables and walked away, suppressing his laughter.

.....

...

"The Shura Field is so scary..."

Bai Ye, hungry, walked on the noisy street, wandering with a helpless look on his face.

The light from the street lamp shone on him, casting a long shadow, as if telling of his helplessness.

Where to go next, even he himself doesn't know.

Bai Ye looked up at the starry sky. The stars were twinkling, but they could not illuminate the confusion in his heart.

Suddenly, a drunk middle-aged man threw himself on his shoulders, spitting out a strong smell of alcohol from his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"Xiangzi, Dad will work hard..."

Chapter 91 Bai Lijun, I Met Someone Worse Than You

There were few pedestrians on the deserted path, as if the whole world was immersed in dead silence.

The tram rumbled on the elevated track, and the sound was like the roar of a giant beast, breaking the silence.

Cicadas chirped everywhere, and the shrill sound seemed to mock the indifference and ruthlessness of the world.

It is completely different from the bustling street market. There is only endless darkness and despair.

Bai Ye walked quietly, his steps heavy and slow, watching Xiang's father in front of him slowly move his body like a zombie.

Father Xiang walked very slowly, as if he was limping, with only his calves moving. He would kneel on the ground from time to time and spit out the beer he had just drunk.

Then, regardless of the stench, he stepped directly onto the murky liquid and continued walking.

He kept mumbling, "Xiangzi, Dad will work hard..."

Bai Ye, whom he mistook for Xiangzi, just watched him silently from behind, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

As for why he followed, it might be because...

Looking at Xiang's decadent appearance, Bai Ye thought of his own father, the father he had not seen many times since he was old enough to understand.

At this moment, just like at that moment...

A complex emotion surged in Bai Ye's heart, including anger and a hint of sadness.

Bai Ye followed Xiang's father to a dilapidated apartment.

I watched Xiang's father open the wooden door covered with bills, and then followed him.

The apartment was filled with darkness, and the stench of alcohol was like an invisible giant hand, blowing fiercely towards me.

It instantly drowned Bai Ye's breath, making him feel nauseous and dizzy. He frowned and tried hard to adapt to this harsh environment.

From time to time, the joyful chirping of flies could be heard from the bathroom. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent apartment, as if it was mercilessly mocking this dilapidated home.

"when--"

Bai Ye accidentally touched a can of beer that was crushed into an irregular shape. It rolled and hit a pile of empty cans, making a tinkling sound.

The sound was particularly harsh in the silent apartment, as if it was the only living thing in this dilapidated house.

However, Xiang's father seemed not to have heard it. He walked straight inside, opened the wooden door which was not flexible to begin with, and lay down on the torn quilt in the hall.

"Ah-ah-"

Then, Xiang's father began to snore very loudly. The sound was like an old bellows pulling the air hard, or like muffled thunder coming from afar, echoing in the silent apartment.

His mouth was slightly open, and he kept mumbling something that no one else could hear.

Bai Ye just stood quietly at the door and began to put himself in Toyokawa Shoko's situation. At once, he understood a lot of things.

Why did Xiangzi look so painful when he asked her about her family?

Why did Xiangzi go to study in Yugaoka instead of the aristocratic school Tsuki no Mori?

Why does Xiangzi often go to the music classroom to play the piano?

Why did Xiangzi suddenly leave Ku Lai Xi Ku?

Why Xiangzi couldn't afford lunch.

Why is Xiangzi's heart always crying?

His fists were clenched.

Bai Ye walked silently into the depths of the room, squatted beside Xiang's father, and slapped his shriveled face back and forth.

"Hey, why do you only know how to drink?"

Father Xiang was still not awake, and he kept saying, "Xiangzi, Dad will try his best..."

"Try hard...are you working?"

"Xiangzi, Dad will work hard..."

"Brother? Are you kidding me?" Bai Ye increased the strength of his slap, releasing a different emotion.

It seemed as if he was feeling aggrieved about his past circumstances, and even more so, he felt angry when he saw Xiangzi who was in the same situation.

His eyes began to glow, like two burning flames, and his teeth clenched with crackling sounds, as if he was chewing on pain and hatred.

"call---"

Bai Ye slowly stood up, calmed himself down, and kept reminding himself in his heart that being impulsive is not the right thing to do.

There is no need to resort to violence over this kind of garbage.

Besides, Shoko Toyokawa had already broken off their friendship with him.

He has no reason to meddle in other people's family affairs.

But then again, Ms. Ob hasn't broken up with him yet, has she?

Thinking of this, Bai Ye took out his mobile phone from his pocket and swiped the screen with his finger.

He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, opened his address book, and began entering numbers.

Like muscle memory, I pressed the number that had always been hidden in my heart, the number I had never dialed as a child.

Bai Ye felt that he was not capable of handling the matter of Xiang's father.

Therefore, he felt that some things should be left to adults to resolve.

"beep--"

"beep---"

"beep----"

"Hello, Bai Ye?" A mature and slightly excited middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Bai Lijun, it's me."

"What happened? You never called me."

"hehe..."

"What's wrong with you? You seem very angry?" The voice on the other end of the phone became more concerned.

"I'm just lamenting, you know? Today, I met a dad who's even worse than you...

“你懂我什么意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】吗？”

"..."

"..."

".."

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then a heavy sigh came: "Bai Ye..."

"Send me the address..."

Chapter 92: The Ups and Downs of Toyokawa Shoko

A day after the Aurora show, Ave Mujica had its second performance with a perfect ending.

Backstage.

Toyokawa Shoko took off the mask that concealed her true face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

She sighed deeply, her eyes showing fatigue, but also a hint of indescribable pride.

[This means Ave Mujica has had a smooth start.]

【The efforts so far have not been in vain】

However, all this did not escape Miao Meng's sharp eyes.

She stood aside, her eyebrows slightly raised, a playful arc at the corners of her mouth, as if she was enjoying a wonderful farce.

[Xiangzi, don’t you know that the outside world is in chaos?]

【I really want to see your expression after this】

"Five minutes until the interview."

Hachiman Kailing's voice was like a clear spring, breaking the silence backstage. She held her phone, her eyes fixed on the schedule, and calmly reported to everyone.

When Miao Meng heard Hai Ling's words, she was shocked. She quickly put the cup of water in her hand on the table, and then rushed to the dressing table next to her like a gust of wind.

"Yabai, I need to touch up my makeup."

"You can't see the makeup even with the mask covering it, right?" Hachiman Kailing said coldly, looking at the anxious Meow Meng.

Miao Meng seemed not to hear Hai Ling's words. She looked in the mirror, fixed her bangs, then picked up the lipstick and applied it carefully.

Although her movements were a bit hurried, they revealed a dedication to detail. "Even if I can't see it, I don't want to be perfunctory. Haizi doesn't want to see a perfunctory Miao Meng kiss, right?"

"Mu, it's time for the interview." Toyokawa Shoko put on her mask, her movements graceful and firm. She turned around and said to Mu, who was sitting next to her with his head bowed and silent.

"Hmm..." Ruoye Mu just nodded, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he still slowly followed Xiangzi's pace.

"Miao Meng, we're leaving first." Chu Hua turned and added to Miao Meng.

"Wait for me! I really need to touch up my makeup!"

......

...

In the interview room, lights flickered and reporters poured in like a tide, filling the entire space.
