Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

What should I do? Should I... silence him?

Ahem, just kidding. Nagasaki Suyo felt that she was not yet that crazy. Although she kept complaining in her heart, when she opened her mouth to speak, her voice became trembling and nervous.

"When I went to Moon Forest to look for you that day, didn't you go to the bathroom and talk to her there?"

"Eh?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that she had indeed gone to the toilet that day because she saw Li Xi coming to block the door, and she was anxious and used the excuse of having a stomachache.

In other words... Li Xi actually heard everything he said on the phone in the bathroom?!

No wonder when she came out, Li Xi calmly asked her if she was talking to someone on the phone. At that time, she thought she was worrying too much so she just answered casually. Now it seems... she had been exposed a long time ago.

Oh no, it should be said that Chihiro's existence was exposed a long time ago.

But the question is, why didn't the pressure-monster Riki get angry at him? And just now... suddenly, because of a song, he was self-reviewing. Is this still the same Riki Shiina?

Su Shi felt that if Li Xi didn't scold him, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

After all, whether in this life or the previous life, she had always treated Li Xi as a big fool to deceive and use. Seeing the other party's expressionless face, Su Shi felt that only by being insulted by Li Xi could she relieve the guilt in her heart.

"Lixi, if you don't scold me, I'll feel better."

"Eh?"

This is... some kind of masochistic tendency that has been awakened?!

Shiina Riki widened her eyes, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood. After all... the person in front of her was a collection of negative emotions. Maybe for Su Shi in this situation, she subconsciously wanted to think in the worst direction and then move towards self-destruction.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you and her."

"Why?" Su Shi opened his mouth. He had a lot of questions in his mind and didn't know where to start.

“Whether it’s you in front of me or the girl who appeared some time ago, I will treat them as human beings, and I won’t talk about this with Deng and Aine.

Actually... I shouldn't have told you this. If I had known you would react so strongly, I should have pretended to know nothing."

"...You're not up to something bad, planning to use my secret to blackmail me, are you?"

"Huh?" Li Xi blurted out without restraint, "Are you okay? With such a dark mind, what on earth do you think I am?"

"Ah...it feels good."

“…What a sin.”

Seeing Su Shi seeming to feel "refreshed" after being scolded by him, Li Xi felt even more uncomfortable.

Xiangzi, just look at what your withdrawal has done to Su Shi. Not only has he developed strange habits now, but even though he knows there's another self, he still can't accept the fact that this other self exists.

And she was such a bad mouth. Why did she have to say those things? She exposed the secret and she didn't know how to end it.

"Forget it, everything is meaningless..."

Nagasaki Suyo's sudden words made Li Xi tremble suddenly.

No matter how I listen to these words, I feel like... I'm going to commit suicide because I'm so depressed?

Fortunately, the next sentence dispelled Li Xi's worries, but it only dispelled part of the worries. After all, Su Shi's subsequent words still made Li Xi feel at a loss.

"Let me tell you the truth, Li Xi. I never planned to form this band from the beginning. I asked her for help just to use her talent to deceive you, and then I would break up the band when the time was right.

Yeah, I just can't accept it... I still want crychic back."

Although the matter has been leaked, Su Shi feels that she should still protect Chihiro's identity information.

After all, Chihiro is still Lenna's sister. If the conversation between her and Riki accidentally reaches Lenna's ears, it may have a bad impact on the relationship between the sisters.

"what?"

Seeing Li Xi's surprised expression as if he didn't expect her to say that, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, she should have thought of it earlier. The relationship between Xiaomu, Lixi and Deng was not as good as she imagined, and conversely, Lixi did not care much about other people except Deng.

So what is she pursuing? An impossible dream?

But if she gives up this dream...what else can she pursue?

"In short, neither she nor I ever thought about forming a band properly. Everything was just a lie on my part."

"It's not a lie."

"What do you mean?"

"I can feel the other you...she really wants our band to keep going."

"...Really? You mean to say that she betrayed me a long time ago, and now I'm just a clown, right?"

Shiina Tatsuki, you really know how to comfort people.

If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.

Chapter 94: Minami Mori: Find someone to shut up Chihiro! (2/2)

"Senior An He, this is your granddaughter... Eh? Do you have two granddaughters?"

The door of the box was pushed open. An He Subaru and Tsuzuki Chihiro, who had heard the footsteps in advance and were prepared, had already started to get into character. When they saw Ms. Mori Minami coming, they stood up and bowed slightly to her.

However, Mori Minami, who came to the banquet with her daughter, was a little surprised. After all, she had heard early on that An He's daughter An He Subaru would have many rival scenes in her next play, so she naturally recognized her appearance.

But she was a little unfamiliar with Chihiro Tsuzuki, whose beauty was no less than anyone else's.

"She's the granddaughter of my friend, Chihiro Tsuzuki."

"Tsuzuki..."

"Yes, she is the granddaughter of Tsuzuki Shisen."

After hearing the name "Tsuzuki Poetry Ship", Mori Minami's eyes lit up, and there was a bit of respect in her eyes when she looked at Tsuzuki Chihiro that was not there just now.

Although she had no contact with Tsuzuki Shifune and they were not in the same industry, the legend of the Japanese music industry was no worse than An He, the senior who stood next to him.

As expected, the friends around those at the top of the industry are no ordinary people either.

It seems that it was a good decision to bring my daughter to the banquet this time.

"Xiao Mu, say hello to your two sisters."

"Anhe-sister, Tsuzuki-sister..."

Chihiro Tsuzuki felt helpless as she looked at the girl with a calm expression who was obviously out of tune with the environment here.

However, since she had no old acquaintance with Xiao Mu due to her current status, she could only pretend not to know him, nodded politely and returned a greeting.

And in Chihiro's opinion, she was only there to make up the numbers for today's dinner. Perhaps the reason she stayed was really to see how Xiaomu was doing, but during the meal, there didn't seem to be any chance for her to be alone with this autistic girl.

"I wonder if Senior Anhe is used to your eating habits, and whether the food suits your taste."

"I am very satisfied."

Here it comes... Although it is somewhat different from the "workplace" in a narrow sense, this kind of conversation atmosphere where both parties speak in a serious manner and the purpose of communicating with each other is just for the next TV series that is still in preparation is definitely not the atmosphere that Chihiro likes.

Although she is also a liar and tells many lies, it is only to gain the sympathy of the victims and make money.

In fact, Chihiro was still very sincere in most of the communication between her and the victim.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many girls who didn’t blame themselves after being cheated of their money, but instead made excuses saying that they were forced into a desperate situation.

Ahem... although being like this is a bit too much.

However, they certainly won't talk about work all the time during the dinner, otherwise it will seem too utilitarian. So in addition to talking about business, Ms. Mori Minami also often directs the topic to the children.

This is actually a very pleasing behavior. Although it seems a bit "redundant" that she brought her daughter here, in fact, many things can be expressed through topics between younger generations.

For example, if she wanted to have a deeper chance to get to know An and Tendou, Mori Minami would use her daughter as a tool to test them.

"How old is Xiao Subaru this year? He seems to be about the same age as my daughter. However, my daughter is usually a little too boring. I think we can let the two children communicate more when there is a chance in the future."

This is a way of testing.

If An and Tiantong agreed to allow the younger generations to contact each other, it would show an attitude of not resisting subsequent cooperation with Mori Minami and providing assistance.

Although Chihiro Tsuzuki is not very old, she can see through these things very clearly, so... she feels even more sorry for classmate Xiao Mu who just stands there silently.

In this dinner party, Xiao Mu was actually the only one who was sitting there completely passively as a tool.

An and Subaru are actors in the TV series, and she? Ahem... she's just a freeloader, so just ignore her.

Of course, maybe Minami Mori also has some ideas of letting her daughter get in touch with some big names in the industry and their children, but such self-righteous good intentions will definitely not be able to change any status quo.

Chihiro Tsuzuki is actually quite helpless. After all, Wakaba Mu's family situation is difficult to change, and she seems to have no choice but to let Wakaba Mu change herself as much as possible.

"By the way, Chihiro is also in high school now, right?"

"Eh?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki didn't react when her name was suddenly mentioned. Only then did she notice that Grandma Anhe, who was the highest-ranking person in the room, seemed to have gone out because of a phone call at work.

Oh my god, is this directed at her?

Seeing that Chihiro Tsuzuki was a little dazed, Ms. Mori Minami, who was sitting next to Wakaba Mutsu, started to exert her strength again.

"Chihiro is really pretty, she should be..."

“I dropped out of school.”

"........."

Chihiro Tsuzuki wanted to laugh because she saw that the smile on the face of Ms. Mori, who had been speaking in a serious manner, froze for a moment, and the corners of her mouth showed signs of twitching.

"Ah... I finished my coursework ahead of time, so I'm preparing to take the exam at home..."

"No, I dropped out of junior high school. I don't even have a junior high school diploma."

"..."

At this point, not only Ms. Mori and Subaru next to her could no longer hold back, but even Wakaba Mutsushi raised his head and looked at the "shocking" sister Tsuzuki.

As for Subaru, who was sitting next to Chihiro, he had already typed two words on his phone, and then secretly showed it to Chihiro under the table:

【Awesome! 】

"Ahem, I...ah no, I mean..." Mori Minami coughed for a long time, feeling embarrassed and regretful.

She picked up the cup and took two sips of water, then almost spit out the water.

She really asked unnecessary questions!

Seeing her daughter, who hadn't reacted much earlier, now seemed to be interested, Mori Minami was furious. She didn't want to learn from the good, but instead learned from the bad, right?!

"But Qianxun, you are indeed different from the others. You have your grandmother's resources and outstanding appearance. Even if you don't go to school, you can still have a good future."

To be honest, what Mori Minami said was very harsh to the three girls present.

Although this sentence did not have much impact on Chihiro, it hit the pain point in Xiaomu's heart, as well as An Hesuba, who had been hesitant and confused since the beginning.

But her grandmother was outside, and she didn't have the courage like Chihiro to say the same thing as the other person at this time, even though Chihiro looked very cool when she said whatever she wanted to say.

"Auntie Mori, that's not the case."

Today, Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't seem to want to continue pretending to be a good girl in the absence of An and Tendo. She took a deep look at Wakaba Mutsu who was staring at her in a daze, then smiled slightly and said:

"For me, what makes me feel at ease is not that I can make a living by relying on my family's connections."

After all, for Chihiro, although she has done a lot of ridiculous things in the past two years, she really has not been able to rely on her family. It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she doesn't have the opportunity.

"What reassures me the most and makes me happy is that even if my choice is wrong, my family will give me the opportunity and right to choose from the beginning.

Because they and I all know that having the opportunity to make free choices is a blessing and a rare treasure, and my family's resources and background give me the opportunity to start over if I choose the wrong path.

But many people...either they make the wrong choice once and never get a chance to make it over again, and stability is everything.

Or...they were simply deprived of all rights to choose by their families.

What do you think, Auntie Sen?

"Cough cough..."

Minami Mori felt like she had met her unlucky star!

Why is this little girl from the Tsuzuki family so sharp-tongued? She doesn't look as pitiful as her appearance suggests.

She turned her head and looked at her daughter...

No, I'm Ruoye Mu's mother. How did you teach Ruoye Mu? Are you trying to ruin her daughter?
