Xiangzi led Mu into the study, and grandpa was already sitting on a chair waiting for them. In Xiangzi's impression, grandpa always liked to come to the study to work, rest, and meet guests.

Grandpa looked very different today. He usually wore a well-fitting suit, even at home, but today he was wearing a loose home suit.

He was playing with an old-fashioned camera in his hand, and there were a lot of photos scattered on the desk. There were also a few broken cameras in the trash can next to him. Judging from the model, it was the same version as the one in his grandfather's hand.

"Do you know why I asked you to come back?"

"I don't know, Grandpa."

Xiangzi lowered her head slightly. Although she had some guesses, she really didn't know why.

"Come, come closer, don't be so reserved, take a look at this photo."

Xiangzi's grandfather did not talk about Xiangzi in front of Mu. Instead, he reached out and casually pulled out a photo from the table. Printed on the photo was the stone arrowhead with an insect engraved on it.

After both of them had looked at it, Grandpa reached out and pulled out another photo. This photo was of Xiangzi and Mu, and Mu was holding the arrow in his hand.

"Earlier, I felt a magical power surging in my body."

Grandpa lifted the clothes on his arm, revealing his forearm, and then purple thorns stretched out from his arm from the inside out in front of the two people.

"This power has brought me a lot of convenience."

Grandpa looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes changed because of the appearance of Hermit Purple, and he nodded silently.

"This power can affect reality, but the servants cannot see it. I have always been curious about where this power comes from and where its source lies."

"Fortunately, my ability is related to intelligence, and it put the answer in front of me in its own way."

"The source of my ability is you! My granddaughter, Toyokawa Shoko. This power is transmitted through blood."

Xiangzi saw her grandfather stand up from behind the desk. She was sharp-eyed and saw that her grandfather was still holding the old camera with a few photos between his fingers.

"That arrowhead, I remember it was a gift from Xiang. You've been carrying it with you all the time, right? Can you show it to me, Grandpa?"

Grandpa walked over to the two of them from behind the desk. His expression was very gentle, and his words showed his concern for the two of them, but also revealed a hint of unwillingness to refuse.

"Ah."

Mu glanced at Xiangzi, then took out the stone arrowhead from his arms and handed it to his grandfather.

"This is truly a work of art, so exquisite."

Grandpa took the arrow, looked at it for just a moment, and then returned it to Mu. He then turned his head slightly to look at Xiangzi and handed him the photo.

"Look at these photos. Do you have any impression?"

"This is everyone in the band, and Chihaya Aine."

Xiangzi took the photo, which had a group photo of everyone printed on it. It was taken by Su Shi, the first group photo of everyone. The rest of the photos were of this big pink-haired dog.

"Everyone in the band is a Stand user? Right?"

Xiangzi raised his head from the photo, looked at his grandfather with the first half of the sentence, and said the second half to Mu.

"Mu, you already knew that, right?"

"Well, I want to help Xiangzi."

Grandpa looked at the interaction between the two little people in front of him and laughed a few times. He knew Mu, the child. The two of them had been playing together since they were young, and they could be said to be better than real sisters.

"Okay, okay, now that you already have the answer in your hearts, I still want to give you a few words of advice."

"Mu, please go out first. Grandpa and Xiaoxiang can talk to each other privately."

"Yes."

Mu turned and left. Xiangzi watched her walk out of the study before turning his gaze back to his grandfather.

"I see. You call this ability a Stand?"

"Um"

Xiangzi saw that her grandfather was staring at the door and not looking at her directly. She lowered her head unconsciously, and her tone was not as neat and appropriate as it was in front of Mu.

"Have you had enough fun? Come back if you've had enough. That person is not worth it. You still have tasks waiting to be dealt with."

Grandpa's voice turned completely cold. Xiangzi knew what she was talking about, which was about her father, but she didn't know how to respond to Grandpa in this regard, so she didn't say anything.

"There's no time for you to mess around anymore. I'm not stopping you from playing in a band. I just want you to have a good relationship with your bandmates."

"If we can't pull them over to the Toyokawa family's side, and we absolutely cannot make them enemies, I'll leave this matter to you. If you have any requests, as long as they don't damage Toyokawa's honor, I will support you."

"Yes, I will arrange it."

Xiangzi lowered her head silently. She could now clearly feel that her grandfather was looking at her. Finally, it seemed that he had finished talking about the serious matter, and her grandfather's voice gradually softened.

"Are you still thinking about him? It seems a little. From your behavior, I can see that you have figured it out."

Xiangzi remained silent.

"Don't want to mention him? Fine, I won't mention it anymore. Now that you're back, take care of yourself and make achievements as soon as possible. Don't let down the people who still love you."

"That's all I have to say. Think about it slowly. It must be uncomfortable to be wet. Go and take care of it. Don't catch a cold or get sick. Okay, go to bed early."

Grandpa left Xiangzi and sat back down at the desk, playing with the old-fashioned camera in his hand, and ignored Xiangzi who was standing stupidly beside him.

"I'm going to rest first, Grandpa."

"Ah."

"Grandpa, thank you."

After a brief silence, Xiangzi said goodbye to his grandfather and walked out of the study.

"let's go."

As Xiangzi walked out of the study, he saw Mu...

After confirming that Xiangzi and the others had really left, Grandpa pulled out a photo from under the table. The photo was of Xiangzi's father.

In the photo, he was lying unconscious, surrounded by cheap beer bottles. Even through his clothes, you could see things like rose vines extending from his back.

Chapter 5 It is really difficult to end the relationship peacefully without getting married.

(I’m so tired, here are two pre-made chapters)

"Xiang has grown up, and you have completely lost your usefulness. Dying like this might not be a bad thing for your daughter."

Grandpa looked at the man in the photo, stretched out his hand and tore the photo into pieces in a few strokes, then threw it into the trash can beside him, which was already full of camera wreckage and torn photos.

After Grandpa finished all this, he played with the camera in his hand. After the vines deep in the Hermit Purple completely wrapped around the camera, he smashed the camera without hesitation.

As the camera was destroyed, a photo was spat out, on which was printed the old rival of the Toyokawa Group, and at this time he also had a list of projects in his hand...

"Xiang, I want to sleep with you today."

"it is good."

Xiangzi looked at Mu beside him. Her light green hair was illuminated by the moonlight, making her look like a beautiful elf in a fairy tale. It had been so long since they had slept together.

It seems like a long time has passed. The days when they lived together in harmony as children are still vivid in her mind, as if they were right in front of her. But after experiencing a series of changes, she has grown up and can't go back.

She also wanted to sleep with Hemu, as if this could keep the carefree and happy times of the past and regain the feeling of the past.

As they walked, Mu suddenly hugged Xiangzi's arm and leaned into her arms. Xiangzi did not resist, but gently smoothed the split hair on Mu's head with her hand.

The backs of the two people gradually merged together in the corridor, and the moonlight sprinkled on them, as if they were covered with a layer of silver-white wedding dress.

After returning to the room he had not been to for a long time, Xiangzi took a look around the room and gave up the growing emotions.

Although subjectively she had not returned for a long time, objectively she had only been away for two days at most.

"Mu, go wash first."

Xiangzi straightened Mu's messy collar. Earlier in the car, Mu had thrown herself into his wet arms. Now there were some water droplets on her hair, and the cuffs of her arms were also wet.

Xiangzi felt very distressed. It didn't matter if she caught a cold, but if Mu got sick because of her, she really didn't want to continue to owe Mu.

It’s not finished yet.

"I'll have the servants prepare a change of clothes for you."

Just as Xiangzi turned around to leave, Mu grabbed her arm.

"Xiang, come and take a shower too."

Xiangzi was worried about Mu, but why shouldn't Mu be worried about Xiangzi? What's more, Xiangzi was wet all over, and Mu also had his own selfish motives.

"You wash first, I'll go call..."

"Xiang, together!"

Looking at Mu's expectant eyes, Xiangzi opened and closed his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything and could only nod.

"it is good."

Unlike a dedicated bathing pool, the room assigned to Xiang has a small bathroom. Although it is a retro old house, the interior is still very modern and convenient.

Needless to say, hot water is always available and is boiled continuously for a whole year without stopping, which is less than a servant's monthly salary.

Xiangzi went in first and filled the bathtub with hot water.

Japan is a country that loves the culture of bathing. Whether it is a powerful figure or an ordinary person struggling to make a living, they will choose to soak in hot water to relax after a day of hard work.

Although the bathtub was not big, it was still spacious enough for Mu and Xiangzi to sit down. In the smoky bathroom, they took off their wet clothes and spoke frankly to each other.

How long has it been since we took a bath together? Ever since we started junior high, there hasn't been a reason to do so.

Xiangzi looked at Mu's undeveloped body in front of him, and his mind drifted back to memories.

Mu looked at Xiangzi who was obviously distracted in front of him, tilted his head cutely, moved forward and grabbed her hand, which also woke Xiangzi up from his memories.

"Xiang, are you okay?"

Mu felt that Xiangzi was weird today and was always absent-minded. She could no longer remember what kind of memories she had left for Xiang, but she knew very well that Xiang was very happy now.

As long as Xiang is happy, she is happy. She only hopes that the little Xiang from the past can come back to her.

"I'm fine, but lately I keep thinking back to when we were little. It was so easy back then."

After coming to his senses, Xiangzi took Mu's hand and pulled her into the bathtub and sat down. The two of them held hands and sat together, soaking in the bathtub face to face, just like when they were children.

"Hot water is truly a salvation."

Xiangzi sighed as he looked at the hot water. The warm water flowed over his skin, sucking away the coldness in his bones and washing away his mental fatigue.

She was already caught in the rain, and she was running and exercising vigorously in the rain. When she came back, she was blown by the evening breeze for so long that even some of her clothes were dried out.

She had no other thoughts at the moment and just hoped that she would not catch a cold or have a high fever tomorrow.

Xiangzi held Mu's hand, feeling the warmth and tiredness brought by the hot water. He resisted the urge to sleep and reviewed and analyzed everything that had happened that day.

What happened today was very unusual, and everyone's behavior was completely different from what she remembered, but after talking with her grandfather, she slowly figured it out.

We are all stand-ins, and the opportunity to start over is given by Mu, so the role played by Mu must be quite important.

Mu always wanted to help me, and she thought that everyone could help me, so she did something without my knowledge.

Everything is clear now. Just ask Mu and you will understand everything, and Mu will not refuse.

弍磷爾 (II) L异IImI Lingba Yueyi "Harmony..."

Xiangzi turned his head slightly and looked at the girl sleeping on his shoulder. Just as one word came out of his mouth, the rest of the sound was strangled by himself.

Mu was also very tired today. She must have done a lot in places where she couldn't see.

If you have any questions, it’s not too late to ask tomorrow.

Xiangzi just enjoyed the comfort of the hot water and looked at Mu's sleeping profile.

When she was quiet, she really looked like a perfect doll, every inch of her body was delicate and perfect, if it weren't for the faint breathing under her nose and the slight rise and fall of her chest.

It’s like keeping Mu by my side, cherishing him well, and making him my lifelong doll.

No, no, Xiangzi, oh Xiangzi, what are you thinking about!

Xiangzi gently patted her red and slightly hot cheeks. She must have been in the rain and her brain was hot. How could she have such thoughts about Mu?

"Xiangzi, what's wrong?"

Mu was a light sleeper, and even though Xiangzi's movements were slight enough, they still woke Mu up.

"Well, it's not good to soak in the water for too long. Mu, wake up first. Let me clean up and then go back to bed."

(Sweets, sweets! Mu’s kindness is still not over. I feel that it will be difficult for Xiangzi to be tough in front of her in the future.)

(Please comment, I decided to add this sentence at the end of each chapter)
