Mygo, are you all yanderes?

Seeing that Kusano Akira didn't believe her, Wakaba Mutsu silently placed the camera in his hand, then took two steps back, rested her chin on her hands, and slightly raised her calves backward, striking a very cute pose.

"Chewmi."

"..."

Kusano Akira took two photos, and Wakaba Mutsu automatically changed his pose twice.

Akira Kusano was speechless.

"You're amazing," said the leek.

"It's good to know."

Since separating from Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Akari has remained silent, even when she went home. She did not respond to her parents' greetings and simply walked straight into her room with her head down.

The room was dark as the lights were off. After changing into her pajamas, Takamatsu Tō sat down at the table with practiced ease, turned on the small nightlight on the table, and took out her notebook, which she used to record things every day.

Looking at her notebook, she found herself unusually devoid of any desire to write today.

6. Too many things are troubling her, leaving her in a state of confusion.

"..."

Gao Song Deng gently used his body to lift the front legs of the stool, while hooking the table with the back of his foot, putting himself and the stool in a semi-suspended state, swaying there listlessly.

She was really confused. Although she had decided during the day to stay away from Kusano Akira so as not to hurt him, her thoughts had changed again after she separated from everyone.

She was indeed very reluctant to part ways. They had finally met again, but she had to take the initiative to distance herself from him.

Author's Note: Here's a chapter to start.

I just realized that I've been writing this much since chapter thirteen!

Moreover, there are two more events scheduled for the following day.

Does Su Shi's mother have an official name? She'll be featured in later storylines, but I couldn't find her name.

Volume 1: Chapter 63. The Clouds Part (2k)

"..."

Gao Songdeng didn't know what to do; her mind was completely in a mess.

"Should we... ask Mom and Dad?"

Takamatsu looked unfocused at the ceiling and muttered to himself.

As she realized what she had inadvertently said, her eyes regained their sparkle.

Yes, she could ask her parents. If they are her parents, they'll definitely have a solution.

Without delay, thinking of this, Gao Songdeng excitedly wanted to run to the living room immediately, but she overlooked her current semi-suspended state. So when she took her feet out from under the table, she lost her support and naturally fell heavily to the floor.

"oops!"

She cried out in pain and fell backward onto the floor.

"Well...it hurts..."

Takamatsu made a mournful sound like a small animal. She rubbed the back of her head, looking somewhat sad, but she quickly composed herself, stood up again, and hurried to the living room.

"Dad, Mom!"

Gao Songdeng slammed the door open and called out to her parents in a loud voice that was unusual for her timid demeanor.

"What's wrong, light?"

Takamatsu Mitsuko was already used to her daughter's strange behavior. With a gentle smile on her face, she beckoned to Takamatsu Akari, gesturing for her to sit down next to her.

"I bought some oranges today, would you like some?"

"Ah, here it comes..."

Takamatsu Akari paused for a moment, then obediently walked over to Takamatsu Hikaru and sat down next to him. She took the peeled orange and began to eat it in small bites.

"What happened, Light?"

Takamatsu carefully peeled off the white pith from the orange, and after making sure it was all removed, she put it into her husband's mouth as he read the newspaper next to her, gently asking him a question.

"Mom, do you still remember Ming?"

Takamatsu Akari chewed on the orange in her mouth. After hearing Takamatsu Hikaru's question, she quickly swallowed the orange and then asked in a low voice.

Si Ming?... Ah, you mean that child you always played with when you were little?

Mitsuka Matsumitsu didn't think too much before figuring out who the 'Aki' Takamatsu Akari was talking about was. After all, there weren't many people willing to play with her daughter, and she had also interacted with Kusano Akari's parents, so her impression of Kusano Akari was naturally quite deep.

"So, you've run into that child again?"

Lu “Hmm…”

Tsukasa Matsushita nodded silently. She longed to touch the red stone or Kusano Akira's hand as she used to, because only then could she calm down in a tense situation. Unfortunately, neither stone nor Kusano Akira was by her side at the moment, so she could only rub her fingers together again and again.

"We met in high school, and Ming and I were in the same class."

"That's wonderful, we can be together again."

Takamatsu Hikaru smiled and touched Takamatsu Akari's hand, gently easing her nervousness.

"I don't think I've seen that child since kindergarten, right?"

Takamatsu Akari's father, Takamatsu Yuji, who had been watching TV the whole time, spoke up.

"Hmm... but we promised to keep in touch, but we haven't done so since first year..."

“I remember that. That child had a family crisis back then, I think it was around the time you were in first grade.”

Yuji Takamatsu shifted his gaze from the television to Akari Takamatsu.

"Something... happened?"

Takamatsu repeated the sentence, puzzled.

"Yes."

Yuji Takamatsu nodded.

“His family was in a car accident back then. I remember his parents died on the spot, and he was the only one who survived.”

"..."

"I heard that the child doesn't have any other relatives, only his uncle is still alive, so he may have been adopted by his uncle."

"..."

Takamatsu Akari now understands why Kusano Akira didn't break off the agreed-upon contact, and also why Kusano Akira has forgotten everything related to her.

"Light, is your troubles related to that child?"

Hikaru Takamatsu smiled gently at Akari Takamatsu, but secretly reached out and pinched Yuji Takamatsu's thigh, which had made the atmosphere heavy.

"...9∫!four≯—※zero five search q: Hmm."

"Ming and I formed a band."

Takamatsu lowered her eyes, her mood becoming even more melancholy than before.

She truly felt sorry for Kusano Akira.

"Form a band? That would be great!"

"Um……"

"Mom, I have a question for you."

Takamatsu Akari gently covered her chest, looking at Takamatsu Hikaru with a heavy heart.

"I really want to see someone, I want to see him all the time. If I'm separated from him, I'll be very sad. If I see him playing with other people, I'll be even sadder."

"what is this?"

"..."

Hikaru Takamatsu's smile faded somewhat. After exchanging a glance with Yuji Takamatsu, she asked Akari Takamatsu.

"Lamp, is the person you're talking about Ming, that child?"

"It's him……"

Takamatsu Akira didn't hide anything and directly admitted Takamatsu Hikaru's conjecture.

"I see... What do you think this lamp is?"

Instead of saying it directly, Takamatsu Hikaru asked Takamatsu Akari a question in return.

"I, I don't know..."

"The lamp, that... maybe that's friendship."

"Friendship...?"

"That's right, friendship."

Takamatsu Hikaru nodded firmly. Looking at Takamatsu Akari's bewildered expression, she placed her hand on her head and stroked her hair repeatedly.

"But Su Shi asked me if I liked Ming..."

There are many kinds of liking.

"Perhaps you just have a friendly liking for him?"

"Could it be like this...?"

Takamatsu felt that her mother seemed to be hiding something, but she couldn't quite figure it out. She just instinctively felt that something was off about the gentle smile in front of her.

"It will definitely be like that. When you're with friends but have to part ways, it's like that. You'll feel very reluctant and sad."

"So that's it..."

Trusting her parents, Gao Songdeng didn't think much of it. Instead, she placed her hands on her knees, seemingly understanding, and focused her gaze on the floor.

It turns out it really was just a friend's crush.

She couldn't tell whether she felt regret or happiness, but Gao Songdeng breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, she would finally be free from her inner turmoil.

Moreover, she would be happier if it were just friendly affection. She had just changed her mind about distancing herself from Kusano Akira, and if she were to tell Takamatsu Akira that she actually had those feelings for Kusano Akira, she would be at a loss.

Now that everything has become clear, Gao Songdeng's lost desire to write in her diary has returned, and she can't wait to record everything.

"Mom, I'm going home now!"

After saying that, Gao Songdeng ran back to her room, leaving the couple staring at each other in bewilderment.

Author's Note: Writing this chapter was exhausting.

But the speed actually increased, and it only took an hour?

That's all for now, there will be a third update tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 64 (2k)

"The lamp has finally come at this time."

Takamatsu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed.

“I thought this child would never have a day like this in his life.”

"But I never expected it to be Kusano Akira's kid."

Yuji Takamatsu picked up where his wife left off and sighed.

"Yes, it just so happens to be that child."

The couple sighed softly in unison.

The future of their daughter, who is somewhat different from normal people, has always been their biggest worry. They don't believe that Gao Songdeng will be able to find someone to spend her life with, so the couple has even prepared to support her for the rest of her life.

They might believe that there are people in this world who can get along with Takasatsu, but they can't imagine what it would be like for their daughter to like someone.

But to everyone's surprise, Gao Songdeng actually found such a person, and this person was even a former friend of hers.

"If only that child's family situation were better. I heard he's not very well-liked by his relatives." Zhong

Yuji Takamatsu picked up a piece of konpeito from the coffee table and casually popped it into his mouth.

"Yes, I don't need a super nice family, but at least they have to be okay..."
