Chapter 6 Cucumber, Cucumber

Xiangzi wanted to get up and help Mu out of the water, but Mu, perhaps because he had been soaking for too long, was drowsy and accidentally slipped and fell into Xiangzi's arms, pushing Xiangzi down with him.

"Hey everyone! Are you okay?"

After this fall, Mu finally regained consciousness. She sat astride Xiangzi's abdomen and looked at him worriedly, wondering if he was hurt.

"It's okay, Mu, I'm fine. You get up first. I can't get up like this."

The posture of the two people at this time was a bit indecent, and Mu also noticed this belatedly. Her face turned red, and she supported Xiangzi's belly with her hands, trying to stand up from Xiangzi's body.

Unfortunately, the bottom of the bathtub was too slippery. Mu lost his balance and fell on Xiangzi who was trying to get up, pushing her back into the water.

"Mu, it's okay, don't be anxious, get up slowly, and pay attention to safety."

Thanks to the hot water as a buffer, Xiangzi didn't get hurt anywhere, but falling twice in a row still made her feel a little painful.

But when Xiangzi saw Mu lying on her chest, waving his hands helplessly, not knowing where to touch, she could only sigh and endure it.

Although they experienced a minor setback in the bathroom, fortunately nothing unexpected happened afterwards. The two of them wiped their bodies clean, and Mu washed his hair with Xiangzi's help.

Since they didn't ask the servant to prepare some clean clothes, the two of them, who were already smelling fragrant, changed into Xiangzi's pajamas.

It is worth mentioning that the two people have quite similar figures. After changing clothes, they look more like sisters. Well, their hair colors are different, but they are both very cute sisters.

"Xiang, what are you thinking about?"

Mu lay beside Xiangzi's pillow, carefully sticking to Xiangzi's body. She looked at Xiangzi staring at the ceiling in a daze, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"I miss my mother..."

Xiangzi looked at the familiar ceiling in front of him, and his thoughts drifted back to his carefree childhood...

When Xiangzi woke up from his memories again, she shook her head helplessly.

What's wrong with me today? I keep reminiscing about the past. No matter how beautiful the past was, I can't go back. I have to look forward.

"What are you thinking about, then?"

Xiangzi didn't get a response from Mu, so she turned her face away. Mu was holding one of her arms in his arms, breathing evenly through his cute little nose, and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Good night"

Xiangzi just looked at Mu's sleeping face, kissed Mu's forehead unconsciously, and laughed sincerely.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Xiangzi, in turn, hugged Mu, held him in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This was the first time in a long time that Xiangzi had slept without insomnia. During the days of drifting outside, her body and mind were troubled by work every day. The fatigue and pressure accumulated at night made it difficult for her to sleep.

And now, she returned to a familiar place, with Mu in her arms, the two little people sleeping in each other's arms.

Xiangzi felt her body was unusually light, and she no longer had anything to fear...

The moonlight gradually deepened, and time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, the sun flew into the sky, replacing the moon, bringing warmth and light to the world.

The sunlight shines through the curtains onto the two people hugging each other, and Xiangzi gradually wakes up in the warmth brought by the sunlight.

"Good morning, Mu."

When Xiangzi opened his eyes, Mu had already woken up. She seemed worried about disturbing Xiangzi's finally peaceful sleep, and she lay motionless in Xiangzi's arms, like a life-size doll.

"Good morning, Xiang."

Now that he was awake, there was no reason to continue lying in bed. Xiangzi let go of Mu's arms, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, stretching out his tender little feet to look for slippers.

"Mu, do you want to wash up together?"

"want!"

After the two of them spent some time changing their clothes and walked out of Xiangzi's room, a servant was already waiting at the door.

"Ladies, breakfast is ready for you. Please move to the dining room."

"Well, hard work."

Xiangzi nodded politely to the servant, took Mu's hand and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Breakfast was very simple: a cup of Earl Grey tea with milk, half a slice of soft toast lightly fried with butter, and a runny fried egg sprinkled with a little chopped parsley.

This was the breakfast that suited Xiangzi's taste, very British, or perhaps American? After all, the British eat sweet and greasy snacks early in the morning.

It should be said that it conforms to the characteristics of Japanese-English cuisine, and that would be correct.

The Toyokawa family's three meals a day are all customized by a special nutritionist. In order to maintain decency and health to the greatest extent possible, the family rules regarding diet are actually very strict.

Because of this, Xiangzi usually drinks some of her favorite black tea when she is out, and almost never eats anything else, although it is okay if she wants to eat something occasionally.

…Made in Heaven, speed up this period! …

"Gui'an."

"Gui'an."

"Takashi, Toyokawa-san."

"Gui'an."

Tsukinomori is a famous aristocratic girls' school and also Xiangzi's alma mater before he transferred to another school.

Early in the morning, Xiangzi couldn't stop Mu from watering the cucumbers, and his plan to take a few days off was shattered.

Xiangzi found that she seemed to be unable to live without Mu. After knowing how much Mu had done for her and her guilt towards Mu, she now just wanted to stay with Mu forever.

"Hello, Xiangzi."

"Greetings, Sushi."

"Greetings, Mu."

"Gui'an."

The two got off the special car and had just entered the school gate and had not walked far when Su Shi, who was standing aside, came to meet them, as if he was waiting there specifically for them.

It wasn't a dream. Xiangzi didn't run away. It was different from what she remembered. She really changed.

Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief. She had been standing at the door for ten minutes just to confirm some things with her own eyes.

The current situation is naturally the best. Xiangzi did not run away, and Mu is still supporting her. Su Shi really hopes that this can continue every day.

Faced with Su Shi's request, Xiangzi couldn't refuse, so the three of them agreed to travel together, and the two-person team officially expanded to a three-person team.

"Su Shi, I want to know what you think of me."

There was still some time before class, and the three of them stood beside the cucumbers planted by Mu. Watching Mu fiddling with the cucumber leaves, Xiangzi asked Su Shi about her concerns.

"What do you think? That's a bit difficult to answer."

Su Shi held the handbag and pointed to the side of her face, with a hesitant and troubled expression on her face.

"I hope, Xiaoxiang, if you have difficulties that you can't solve on your own, you can talk to us and communicate more with everyone. Don't just lose contact when a problem occurs. Everyone will be very worried about you."

Su Shi put her hands down and stared at Xiangzi, and Xiangzi could sense the deep worry in her eyes.

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

Chapter 7 Su Shi: Xiangzi belongs to all of us!

Xiangzi knew that eyes never lie.

"Anyway, Xiaoxiang, I will support you no matter what."

Su Shi put her hands behind her back, closed her eyes slightly, and replied to Xiangzi with a smile.

“…Let’s go back to the classroom.”

Xiangzi's feelings were complicated. Sushi, is that what you think? What about the rest of the band?

The time for class was almost up. The rules in Yuezhisen were very strict. Xiangzi nodded politely to Sushi, and the few of them quickened their pace to go to the classroom for class.

A day always passes quickly when studying. Unfortunately, Xiangzi's head is now filled with messy thoughts, and she can't understand anything the teacher says.

But it doesn't matter. After all, Xiangzi has already taken these courses once, and she even knows exactly what the teacher will talk about in class in the next few days.

It doesn’t matter if you skip a few classes, it won’t affect your grades. This is the confidence of the top scorer in all subjects!

Behind the school wall, in Mu's vegetable garden, Xiangzi was accompanying Mu to water the cucumbers with a kettle. Xiangzi smiled at Mu's hard work, reached out to pick a dead leaf from the vine, threw it into the soil, and let it decompose on its own.

"I knew I'd find you two here, Xiaoxiang. Are you going to band practice today?"

Just as the two old farmers were working hard in the cucumber field, a familiar voice was heard from the side. It was Su Shi.

"No... well, I can join the joint training soon."

When Xiangzi heard about joining the band, she subconsciously wanted to refuse. No, it was not an escape, she just wanted to take a break for two days.

But she recalled her grandfather's words, asking her to have a good relationship with her band members.

It is easy to get along well with everyone. After all, it is her own band, and everyone is brought together by Xiangzi alone. Even Lixi is willing to listen to her.

However, after avoiding it for too long, she subconsciously thought... No, I can't do this anymore! She won't avoid it this time!

"Really?! I'm going to tell everyone in the band the good news now. Xiaoxiang is coming today."

Su Shi noticed Xiangzi's awkward mood, so she quickly left, leaving space for Xiangzi and He.

After experiencing some previous events, Su Shi was sure that Mu was on her side this time and would help persuade Xiangzi to join the band.

She had already hinted at it, and Mu understood. Now she just needed to tell the other members the good news and then concentrate on preparing for today's practice.

"Xiang, are you okay?"

Mu put down the empty kettle and looked at Xiangzi who was obviously absent-minded. She even pulled off two tender leaves from the cucumber!

"It's okay, I just don't know how to face everyone."

Xiangzi came to his senses and looked at the two green leaves in his hand. He avoided Mu's gaze and awkwardly mixed them into the soil, trying to destroy the evidence.

"Xiang, don't worry. Everyone is a very good person. Xiang just needs to be the same as before. We can all go back to the way we were before."

Regardless of the fact that they were still in school, Mu reached out and hugged Xiangzi, passing his body warmth to her, hoping to help calm her chaotic mood.

This trick was very effective. Xiangzi quickly calmed down and hugged Mu with his backhand. His free hand also touched Mu's back.

With Mu by her side, she would feel unprecedented peace of mind, which was also an important reason why she gradually became inseparable from Mu.

But for some reason, Xiangzi always felt that there were several pairs of eyes staring at her behind her back, but when she tried to find out, she got nothing.

It was probably grandpa. I had this feeling the last time Mu picked up an arrow, and when I got home, grandpa showed me the photo.

After figuring that the prying gaze was from her grandfather, Xiangzi ignored the feeling and concentrated on enjoying the fragrance of Mu's body, which brought her a strong sense of security.

What she didn't know was that Nagasaki Suyo, who was peeking from behind the wall, was squatting there biting a handkerchief.

Su Shi knew that she shouldn't do this, but she was not like she said on the surface. She was a very awkward person.

After being betrayed time and again, she still couldn't trust Mu, so she stayed and secretly watched their progress.

But she didn't expect that the two of them would progress so quickly!

She knew that Xiangzi and Hemu were childhood sweethearts, growing up together and being each other's half.

At least their relationship was definitely closer than hers. She knew that she shouldn't be in the right mood right now, but she just couldn't help it!

"Smash it, Valudo! Stop time!"

After developing a friendly relationship with Muyou, Xiangzi still always felt that something was wrong around him, and an indelible sense of déjà vu took root in his heart.

There must be someone around watching her!

Two seconds passed...

Xiangzi summoned the world of substitutes, activated his own abilities, paused time, then stomped lightly on the ground and, with the help of his substitute, jumped more than ten meters high.

Five seconds passed...

Xiangzi carefully observed the surroundings in the air and finally found Brown Hair eavesdropping in the corner, but her time in the air had ended.

Seven seconds passed...

Xiangzi landed slowly on the ground and did not try to pull out Su Shi who was squatting in the corner. Instead, he wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and continue to stay together in harmony.

But as soon as she held his hand, she noticed something was wrong with Mu.

Mu Ganggang, were your eyes looking upwards?

Nine seconds passed...
