Gravity Girl Shining

After a long, suffocating silence, the two returned to the apartment.

In the narrow room filled with the smell of alcohol, Shoko Toyokawa numbly picked up the beer cans scattered on the floor, barely cleared out an area for people to lie down, spread out the mattress, and assisted Hibiki Uehara to carefully place the man on it.

Even in such an unsightly appearance, this man is still Shoko Toyokawa's father.

Before leaving, Uehara Hibiki gently wiped away the tears from the girl's eyes. Such tears are not delicious at all, but rather painful.

"Xiangzi, you have worked hard all this time."

It was as if the last line of defense had been broken through.

Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and sobbed, her tears falling onto the tatami. Even though she had rejected all the concern, there were still people who broke through the layers of thorns and made it to the end.

All the secrets were revealed, and Shoko Toyokawa was no longer a perfect person. She now had someone to confide in for all her grievances.

The moment Uehara Hibiki left the room, he heard those belated words.

"Thank you."

……

Back in the room, Uehara Hibiki looked at the angry emoticon sent by Aine and finally laughed again.

Carrying the burden of life, the manager's words lingered in his mind.

That’s right, life is not just about playing in a band happily, life is also about pain and sadness.

Carrying someone else's life is never an easy thing, and Uehara Hibiki has more than one goal.

"So at this time, you need to cheat."

While replying to Aine, he was thinking of more plans in his mind. Whatever Uehara Hibiki wanted, he would definitely get it.

Chat, practice, and modify music scores.

Time passed quickly, and besides Aine's goodnight, there was also an unexpected knock on the door.

When she opened the door, Shoko Toyokawa was standing outside with her eyes swollen from crying. Her twin ponytails from the day had been untied, and the moonlight shone on her waist-length hair, making it look even more torn.

"Please, Hibiki, can I sleep in your room tonight?"

Chapter 50 The story started by me.

Toyokawa Shoko was once an extremely proud and stubborn person, but at this moment, she completely revealed her weakness.

"To prevent insects, I have been spraying pesticides in the windows. There may be a bit of an odor, but this amount is harmless to humans."

Uehara Hibiki took out spare bedding from the window.

"You sleep here in the living room tonight, I'll go outside..."

But the girl grabbed his clothes and said, "Don't go outside."

Although this rental apartment boasted a one-bedroom, one-living room layout, it was actually just one room separated by a sliding door. Within the cramped 20-square-meter space, only the few tatami mats in the living room were comfortable enough for sleeping.

If you sleep on the floor, even with a mat, you will feel very sore the next day.

Shoko Toyokawa understands this deeply.

"Hibiki, just sleep next to me. I want to hold your hand."

"it is good."

……

Bright moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating half of the living room. The two of them lay on two adjacent tatami mats, their hands reaching out from under their respective blankets and clasping each other tightly.

"What a big moon tonight."

"Sorry, the curtains broke before and I never bought any."

"That's it."

"After all, not many people would spy on a man like me, so I was negligent in this aspect."

"Nothing, that's just your usual style."

"But you are a girl after all, so I'd better go buy curtains tomorrow."

Shoko Toyokawa was silent for a moment, and finally turned her head away.

"understood."

The promise was made, and Shoko Toyokawa's stay would not be just one night.

only……

"Hibiki, won't you ask me the reason?"

The reason is, of course, obvious.

He's lying next door.

Uehara Hibiki didn't know what to say for a moment. No matter in his past life or this life, he had only heard of this kind of bastard from distant news, but this was the first time he saw him in person in real life.

If it's a stranger, Uehara Hibiki doesn't mind wasting time insulting them.

But this person is Shoko Toyokawa's father.

Uehara Hibiki could only remain silent for the time being.

And silence is also an answer.

Toyokawa Shoko knew what Uehara Hibiki was thinking. Or rather, any normal person would think this way.

But that person was her father.

Shoko Toyokawa still had fantasies, but she was really too tired.

"Hibiki, are you satisfied with just a handshake?"

Uehara Hibiki's breathing suddenly became rapid.

……

Shoko Toyokawa didn't know why she asked such a question. She was both excited and scared.

With disheveled hair, she came to the young man's room alone. What was she thinking?

If things really develop to the point where they are irreversible, what will I do?

Perhaps forgetting is the best poison.

Forget everything, self-esteem, pride, music, stage, friends, half body, father, family.

She extinguished all the lights, abandoned all her dreams, became a cowardly woman, and hid in Uehara Hibiki's house for the rest of her life.

As long as you give love, you can ask for more love from him endlessly.

It's like a parasite.

Uehara Hibiki lifted the quilt, and a tall figure came over, shrouding Toyokawa Shoko in darkness.

So, will it come true?

That future of love and sorrow?

Shoko Toyokawa closed her eyes and welcomed Uehara Hibiki's choice.

A tear fell from the corner of the girl's eye, soaking the pillow. If she were to fall like this...

Then, Uehara Hibiki's lips pressed against hers.

After a long time, we left.

"Xiangzi, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Good night."

Uehara Hibiki returned to his original position, and Toyokawa Shoko also opened her eyes.

The moonlight shone down again.

Their hands were still tightly clasped together.

It's like nothing has changed.

The only thing left was the wetness on my lips and my own tears again.

Thank you, Hibiki.

When Toyokawa Shoko's pride was dim and on the verge of being shattered, Uehara Hibiki held up the crown for her and told her that she was so noble.

The second time he confessed, Shoko Toyokawa did not respond.

Because she had already hidden the answer in her heart.

Hidden in his own AveMujica.

There is no need to forget everything, but as my mother told me, the true core of AveMujica is love.

……

Just like before on the train, Shoko Toyokawa fell asleep quickly.

But this time, there were no more phantoms of the past, and the warmth of home was in her hands.

Beside her, Uehara Hibiki stared at the countdown on the system interface, trying hard to suppress the dark desire.

Damn it! Not eating meat is ungentlemanly.

However, Uehara Hibiki is a pure love warrior.

Spiritual joy should be above physical joy. Uehara Hibiki was still waiting for Toyokawa Shoko to take the initiative to bow her head and accept his confession.

Besides, the cute thing about a poor girl like Toyokawa Shoko is her pride in not wanting to bow her head and give in.

It wouldn't be fun if the magical girl really fell.

As for another important reason...

The sound insulation in this shabby house is so poor!

Uehara Hibiki has no exposure fetish, so if there is a chance, it would be better to go to a hotel.

But who should I invite first?

Deng, Aine, Xiangzi, or Riki? Lenai's words were a bit dangerous. She looked proactive, but she hadn't completely let her guard down. And then there were Sushi and Hailing, whose progress on the game was zero. The bassist was truly difficult.

Uehara Hibiki kept on arguing in his head until the countdown for the system upgrade reached zero.

Wait, why is there another one?

Every time he saw the blood-letter warning from the system, Uehara Hibiki's heart sank.

Besides...when did I make a promise with you?

He hurriedly checked the contents of the props, and the result made Uehara Hibiki's eyes go dark.

[Unable to view because the unlocking conditions are not met.]

Toyokawa Shoko, what on earth did you do?

It’s okay, it’s okay, favorability can’t be faked, the situation can still be stabilized.

Uehara Hibiki convinced himself and began to check what exactly was updated in the system this time.
