After the school bell rang in the afternoon, Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her temples to calm down.
It is indeed mentally taxing to concentrate on listening in every class.
However, for the sake of scholarships and better options for further study, there is nothing we can do about it.
After relaxing a little, she started to pack her things, and then saw Shirakawa Ze and Takamatsu Deng appear at the door of her classroom.
The former stopped and waved to him.
The latter smiled at him and left.
After packing up her things, Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the classroom and went to the piano store with Shirakawa Ze.
The recording process went smoothly.
After the recording was finished, Shoko Toyokawa took out the special clothes for the appearance from the locker in the practice room, went to the locker room to change into them, and then recorded a video of the song she played today.
After all, time is limited, so we naturally have to make the best use of it.
After recording the video, Baichuan Ze left first.
The current system tasks basically involve going to various stores to eat, drink and have fun. Sometimes the distance is quite far and it takes a lot of time.
For example, today, I asked him to go to a place far away to eat, so we didn’t chat much and just left after recording the video.
After all, after completing the system tasks, you still have to go back to edit the video.
As for Shoko Toyokawa, she practiced until nine o'clock in the evening and then left.
Because the piano store closes at 9:30 p.m., although she wanted to practice a little longer, she was embarrassed to leave at that time.
She bought a discounted bento at a convenience store and asked the clerk to heat it up in the microwave, then went home.
On the way back, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little excited, and her eyes showed anticipation for the future.
She felt that her life was slowly getting better and she had more hope for the future.
When they arrived at the rental house, Toyokawa Shoko walked into the room with a teeth-grinding creaking sound as the door opened.
The windows were closed, there was no smell of alcohol in the house, and there were no beer cans rolling around on the floor.
My father was lying on the floor wrapped in a quilt, but he wasn't snoring, so he probably wasn't asleep yet.
This scene no longer caused any emotional fluctuations in her, and she did not say anything. She just closed the door and silently bent down to put the beer cans into the bag in the corner.
Then she carried her lunch box to the window, opened it for ventilation, and sat down to prepare for dinner.
At this moment, she heard the sound of her father getting up from the bed, accompanied by an incomprehensible hum.
She didn't move her eyes, but continued to stare at the bento in front of her, picked up her chopsticks and started eating...
Volume 1: Chapter 134: A Slap
After taking two bites, Toyokawa Shoko caught a glimpse of her father walking to the door of the compartment, raising his hand to support the door frame, and looking at her at the same time.
She said nothing and just continued eating.
She didn't want to have any communication with the other party now, so as not to affect her mood for eating.
"belch--"
Father Xiang burped loudly, then looked at his daughter and spoke slowly. His pronunciation was a little unclear, and it seemed that he was still drunk.
"Hey, Xiangzi."
"Can you make that much money working in customer service?"
Shoko Toyokawa was shocked and immediately opened the drawer beside her. She found that the money box had been opened and a large part of the money inside was obviously missing.
She immediately stood up, walked to her father, and looked at him coldly, without any emotion in her tone.
"Give me the money back."
Father Xiang sneered.
"Don't think I don't know..."
"You can bring back so much money, you must have received help from your family, right? Hmm?"
"You must have reached some kind of agreement, right?!"
"You, you guys are going to make me unable to get up completely, right!"
"Hahahaha! I should have thought of it earlier. Your going to work for our company was premeditated!"
Toyokawa Shoko clenched her fists, but did not get angry. She just looked at him expressionlessly.
"Are you finished?"
"Give me back my money when you're done!"
Father Xiang laughed a few times, then slammed the door frame hard, his eyes widened.
"Xiangzi!"
"Don't forget it!"
"You are my daughter!"
"And now you want to follow those guys to deal with me! You are so mean!"
Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again and looked at her father, and said word by word,
"I repeat myself one last time. I have never accepted any form of financial support from the Toyokawa family other than my salary."
"Every yen I earn as a customer service representative at Toyokawa Bussan is legal and reasonable income as stipulated in the company's articles of association."
“It is not accepted now, and it will not be accepted later.”
"Besides, I don't have the energy to team up with others to frame you."
"And you don't need anyone to frame you in your current state. You're already in terrible shape."
"Please give me my money back. If you touch my money again, I will hand you over to the police."
Hearing these words, Xiang's father's face became redder and redder.
After the other party finished speaking, he slammed the door frame again, and then pointed at Toyokawa Shoko. Because he was too excited, his fingers and voice were trembling.
"You, you! Xiangzi! You actually want to hand me over to the police?"
"good good good good!"
"Since you didn't accept funding from those guys, then tell me, where did you get all this money?!"
Toyokawa Shoko spoke without any emotion.
"This has nothing to do with you."
"You just have to give me back the money you stole from me."
Xiang's father jumped up immediately, his voice becoming more and more excited.
"steal?!"
"You said I stole?!"
"Xiangzi, you need to understand the situation. I am your father!"
"Have you forgotten who raised you?"
"Have you forgotten who bought you the piano?"
"You made some money, and I didn't ask you to use it all to honor me. Not only are you not grateful, but you even dare to accuse me of stealing when I gave you some of your money?"
"It seems that your mother is gone, and you can't even talk..."
Before he could finish his words, Toyokawa Shoko slapped him in the face.
The slap was so powerful that it stunned him.
Xiang's father was stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of him with a frosty face, his eyes full of disbelief.
Toyokawa Shoko looked at her father with extremely suppressed anger in her eyes.
"You have no right to mention my mother."
After saying this, she turned around, put the remaining money in the box and some clothes into her schoolbag, and then left the rental house.
Walking on the side of the road, Toyokawa Shoko felt endless depression and confusion in her heart.
She didn't understand why, even in this situation, her father still hurt her again and again.
She didn't know how to continue her life.
She now doesn't want to go back to the rental house at all and wants to calm down outside for a few days.
But where can I go?
I only have tens of thousands of yen left, so I can forget about checking into a hotel.
She didn't want to go to her friend's house either, as she didn't want to cause trouble for others.
As she walked, she used her cell phone to search for any cheap and safe places to go.
After looking at it all, she felt unsatisfied.
As she walked, she came to a busy commercial street. She could hear noisy voices and saw all kinds of dazzling signs.
After just a quick glance, she looked away.
The money I have on me may not even be enough to have a meal at any of the restaurants in front of me.
She continued walking along the sidewalk until she came to a tram stop, and then she saw Shirakawa Ze waiting for the tram.
The other party also saw her.
She didn't know why, but the moment her eyes met the other person's, she felt extremely aggrieved, and the emotions that had been suppressed just now began to surge up uncontrollably.
Shirakawa Ze saw that Toyokawa Shoko's mouth suddenly pursed tightly, then the corners of her mouth turned down, and then tears began to flash in her eyes. He realized that the other party must have just experienced something, so he immediately went up to her.
Walking up to the other person, Baichuanze spoke softly,
"Xiangzi."
Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
But the increasingly turbulent emotions in her heart made it difficult for her to suppress them. Although she tried her best not to make a sound, her tears could not stop falling.
She didn't want this to happen.
She originally thought she could hold it in.
But when she saw the people she could trust, she knew her expectations were too optimistic.
She simply couldn't suppress her desire to talk to the other person.
Her heart urgently told her that she needed to express herself and let her emotions out.
This is human nature.
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko like this, Shirakawa Ze realized that something serious must have happened, so he took out a tissue to wipe her tears and asked,
"Xiangzi, why don't you come sit with me for a while?"
After all, the other party had been forcing himself to hold back, and it was obvious that he didn't want to show anything outside and attract the attention of passers-by.
So he didn't waste any more time and directly invited the other party to his home.
Toyokawa Shoko nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Baichuan Ze didn't waste any words and directly stopped a taxi.
After arriving at his residence, he opened the door and let the other person go in first, then he went in himself and closed the door.
When Toyokawa Shoko heard the door close, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears...
Volume 1: Chapter 135: Su Shi feels that he has caught an adulterer
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko crying, Shirakawa Ze hurriedly helped her sit down on the sofa, then took out a tissue and handed it to her.
The girl cried so hard that she couldn't even utter a complete syllable when she tried to say "thank you".
Baichuan Ze gently stroked her back and told her not to speak and to calm down first.
