Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

Although they quarreled, the granddaughter still showed the proper courtesy towards her elders.

"Xiao Xiang, it's Grandpa." Toyokawa Sadaharu tried to maintain a gentle tone. "Are you free recently? Grandpa wants to introduce you to someone your age who you think you can talk to."

"what?"

"She wanted to form a band on her own, just like you, without the help of her family. But now she's had a terrible fall, and she doesn't even have the courage to pick up the instrument again. I think you..."

"Grandpa, I have something else to do. I'll hang up first."

"..."

Chapter 82 I, Chihiro Tsuzuki, am a dead person by profession (2/2)

“They’ve all left…”

In the kitchen, Nagasaki Suyo looked at the dishes in the sink that had been washed but not yet put away, and sighed, feeling that her heart had grown old even before she had grown old.

There was no one at home, she was too lazy to even cook, and after cooking she had to wash the dishes by herself, and while she was washing the dishes no one came to argue with her...

Then why bother cooking? It would be easier to just eat instant noodles or hot instant lunch boxes.

"But it seems that the problem Chihiro mentioned really needs to be taken seriously."

Just half an hour ago, when Xiao Mu was sitting on the sofa not far behind her, she did follow Chihiro's idea and continued to ask the question about Xiao Mu's speech on the rainy night of the group explosion.

But it was obvious that Xiao Mu didn't intend to tell her the truth.

The girl with light green hair lowered her head pitifully, grabbing the hem of her skirt with her two small hands, looking very painful.

After seeing that moment, Nagasaki Suyo gave up asking any further questions and didn't even open her mouth to speak the sweet words that Chihiro taught her.

'This isn't Xiaomu's fault.'

'You always do what I don't want you to do.'

'That time, and this time, it's all your fault.'

When Su Shi thought about what he "once" said, he suddenly slapped himself in the face while standing in front of the microwave. Of course, it wasn't painful.

However, she really couldn't ask another question that didn't take Xiao Mu's feelings into consideration under that situation.

So in the end, the two of them didn't actually say anything else. After Su Shi changed the subject, he took Xiao Mu on a tour of his home and then sent the girl downstairs.

"This Chihiro is really getting more and more troublesome for me...Does she really want to break free from the constraints of the contract?"

With a ding, the microwave oven made a pleasant sound. She couldn't wait to start enjoying her own dinner, so she carefully wrapped her hands with a towel and took out the lunch box.

When she sat down opposite the seat where Chihiro usually sat, she looked at the empty space in front of her and her eyes became a little lonely.

"If I were her, I would do the same, right?"

After all, he was semi-forced to bind himself with a contract, and his employer was a man who seemed a little paranoid, spending so much effort just to reunite a band that had disbanded in the past.

It makes sense to want to complete this commission as soon as possible and escape from the home of a resentful woman like her as soon as possible.

However, this increasingly risky mission method is somewhat unacceptable to Su Shi no matter from which perspective.

Even if it wasn't for her own sake, but simply to prevent Xiao Mu from showing such a sad expression, she had to punish that damn Chihiro who was messing around at work.

As the saying goes, good things take time. To accomplish something as big as reviving crychic, it would take you decades... ahem, a long time, to see results, right?

Still want to play speed run with her here?

"I don't know if this guy has already eaten with his family. Damn... this meal is so dry. I really want some soup..."

"Come on, Chihiro, don't just focus on eating, try the soup Auntie made."

At the pink-haired big dog's home, Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at Aunt Chihaya, who was a little too enthusiastic towards her, and could only smile and thank her for her kindness.

Aine, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be very happy to see her helpless expression and was already giggling foolishly.

"Chihiro, thank you so much for taking care of my Aine in England. She talks about you to me every other day. Now I see that you are such a perfect child in every way."

"Mom, you're being a little too deliberate."

"Really? Aren't those your exact words?"

"mom!"

Chihaya Aine suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she was indeed very satisfied in her heart. Although some unpleasant things happened again in the band today, she was finally able to invite her best friend to her home.

And he even came over to sleep with her in the same bed!

I'm so excited just thinking about it that I can't sleep.

"Auntie, you're so polite. Actually, Aine took good care of me in England. You could say we looked after each other. After all, it's a blessing to have a friend from the same hometown there, and such an easy-going one at that."

"Yes, so Auntie, I have heard of you a long time ago, but at that time I didn't know it was Chihiro. I just knew that this child seemed to be doing well abroad."

"......"

Aine's eyes averted when she heard this, but Chihaya Noriko, knowing she had said something wrong, didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled at her daughter and said:

"Of course, I don't know if I'm really living a good life, but I know that having a good friend is indeed a blessing.

Oh, by the way, I heard that Chihiro is back in China for a performance, right? Will coming here to teach our Aiyin guitar skills interfere with your normal work?

"Forehead......."

"Mom, stop asking."

"Why can't you ask this? I asked you before and you didn't answer. I was even wondering how you could be such a good friend to others without caring about what Chihiro is doing."

"mom!"

Chihiro Tsuzuki raised her eyebrows and looked at the mother and daughter who suddenly started quarreling, with complicated feelings.

Just when she was wondering why Aine was so excited about such an insignificant issue, she was about to continue eating when she was directly pulled up by Aine, and then inexplicably dragged to the bedroom upstairs.

"Aine, what are you doing?"

"......"

Seeing the strange expression on Aine's face, Tsuzuki Chihiro frowned and took a step forward to touch that cute pink head like she did when she comforted Aine in England before.

However, Aine took a step back and made way.

This made Chihiro Tsuzuki feel a little uneasy.

"Chihiro..."

"What's wrong? Aine."

"Have you been lying to me all along? You said you were the lead guitarist in a band, but I've checked a lot of live house performance lists these days, and I've also searched for the songs you said you'd play for me, but I haven't found any bands that match them."

Chihaya Aine's expression was no longer as happy and natural as it was when she was eating just now. Instead, she looked a little hesitant.

In fact, in the first few days after she returned to China, her mother asked a lot of questions about Chihiro, but at that time she just felt that her mother was too controlling and always liked to ask questions like checking her household registration.

But later she found that she seemed to have always just told Chihiro about her own problems and asked her to find a solution for her, but she never cared about her in return.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, her understanding of Chihiro was limited to the memories of them playing and chatting together. Apart from that, she knew nothing about Chihiro.

In addition, during the band practice today, because of her mistake, everyone in the band suddenly changed. She was already in a low mood, and when she heard her mother ask this, she felt that her emotions were out of control.

"All right......."

Seeing Chihaya Aine's pitiful look as if she had suffered a great injustice, Tsuzuki Chihiro sighed and said, "Then I will tell the truth."

"Ok?"

"I'm not the frontman of a band, I only said that because you mentioned that you'd love to be the guitar lead on stage.

I did play in a band, but that's in the past.

My name is indeed Tsuzuki Chihiro, my grandmother is Tsuzuki Shifune, I have a cousin named Kaname Rakuna, and my current occupation... is 'the deceased'.

Because Chihiro Tsuzuki was officially confirmed to have died in a car accident two years ago, my tombstone is still standing in the Tama Cemetery in Tokyo.

If you are free, you can accompany me home to have a look."

“…Huh?”

"Well, don't be afraid, little Ain. We don't want to harm good people in this industry anymore."

"Ah...Ah!!! Don't come over here!"

Chapter 83 Aine, your little hands are a little restless (still 1)

"Aine? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly skip eating and go up there?"

Chihaya Noriko's voice came from downstairs, and upon hearing all this, Aine hurried to the door of the room, closed it tightly, and shouted downstairs:

"Mom, don't come up here!"

"Really? I'll make some food for you two and serve it up later."

"call……"

"I never realized our little Aine is such a filial daughter. Are you planning to face me alone by closing the door?"

I have to say that Aine is much more filial than Su Shi's "daughter" who told her to be careful not to get hit by a car when she went out.

Of course, this ridiculous comparison has no practical significance.

"Are you a human or a ghost... Oh no, are you scaring me on purpose?"

“Aine is quite smart.”

Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at Aine who was retreating step by step, and finally sat down on the bed with no more room to retreat. Chihiro couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Sure enough, when she faced this big pink-haired dog, she couldn't help but want to ravage her head.

After reaching out and rubbing Aine's hair several times, Chihiro sat down next to Aine and paused for a moment before speaking:

“I’m sorry…Ain, you were right, I did lie to you.

During those days in the UK, I was busy arguing with my friends in the band. In the end, the band broke up. The bassist cried and wanted me to come back, but I ruthlessly refused.

Now that I think about it, if I could really let go of all that, I should have told you a long time ago that I’m not the successful guitar vocalist in your eyes.

I’m sorry that I’m not the idol in your heart, and I’m also sorry that I kept it from you for so long…”

"..."

Chihaya Aine opened her mouth slightly and looked at her best friend who was smiling bitterly beside her. She paused and then a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Did I lie to Sister Qianxun too?"

"Ok?"

"I'm talking about the reason why I returned home. I lied to you." Aine once again thought back to the night when she made up her mind to return home. She remembered how she carefully placed the doll Chihiro gave her among the clothes when she packed her luggage. "So now we don't have to say sorry.

After all, Chihiro, you have already told me the truth... Oh, no, wait!"

"What's wrong? You're so startled."

"What about you just said you were dead?" Aine suddenly thought of this and her eyes widened again.

"To put it simply, I thought I was just wandering around for a few years without contacting my family, but in fact, my family had already bought me a property that I could only move into decades later."

"And you just said... Lenai is your sister!"

"Well, you know him?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki thought about it. Although she could tell Aine the truth that should have been told long ago, she felt that she still had to keep her promise and continue to conceal it as for the agreement she made with Su Shi.

So at this time, she didn't know that Aine and Lenai had been in contact.

"I know her. She's in our band too. And today... huh? Could it be that the sister Lenai was talking about is you?

So, you are living in Su Shi’s house now?!”

Finished~

How come Aiyin suddenly became so smart? Otherwise... I should go borrow a bottle of wine from someone now and use it to hit Aiyin on the head until she loses her memory.

"You're actually in her house!"

"This one……"

"Are you two okay?"
