Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

Thinking back to what I had heard before about "studying abroad", it seemed that there was some truth to what Li Xi said.

But if she couldn't join the band just because of the arrangements made by the adults, and she had to find a way to solve the problem, then Xiangzi felt that Li Xi was overestimating her a little.

She... Toyokawa Shoko, is no longer the pampered rich girl who has everything she wants.

She can't even take care of herself now, so how can she have the energy to think about how to guide other people's lives?

She was not confident enough to be responsible for other people's problems, nor could she shoulder the burden of other people's lives.

"Xiaoxiang, please go home quickly today. You've worked really hard today."

When Xiangzi changed back into her school uniform in the locker room, Kujo Azusa looked at the pitiful Miss Toyokawa helplessly and said.

"Well... I just made a fool of myself by making fun of myself."

"That's normal. Your sister Jiujo went through the same thing. But it's not good to keep your problems to yourself. Maybe you can talk to a friend you can trust?"

Yes, Kujo Azusa refers to their eldest daughter Chihiro.

"Ah...I will."

When leaving the store, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly had some thoughts that she had not had before.

After all, she was just an ordinary person, and Xiangzi had actually felt that his emotions hadn't been very stable in the past few months, so Li Xi had just come to his store and criticized him for no reason...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Especially when the other person says that playing music with others is definitely useless and that they must give up...

Do you think she really wants to give up? When she quit crychic that day, she even cried all the way home. Although... it's actually quite embarrassing to recall this incident now. After all, wouldn't it be weird to passersby if she cried all the way in the shower?

But putting all that aside, there just happened to be such an opportunity right now, which was an invitation Xiao Qian sincerely made to her.

She didn't agree to it right away because she hadn't decided whether she was ready.

But now... she doesn't want to hesitate any longer.

"Hey...Xiao Qian."

"Well, I've thought about it. I want to join you, but I have one request... Huh? So you don't need to use your real name? That's great."

Although this red ginger combination does not belong to her...

But Xiangzi felt that this was at least a good start. After all, between dreams and life, she had to choose a compromise.

Chapter 130 Don’t Call Me a Little Widow! (2/2)

"time to eat."

Wearing an apron and standing with her hands on her hips in front of Chihiro, who had just hung up the phone and lay down on the sofa, Nagasaki Suyo glanced unhappily at Chihiro Tsuzuki, who suddenly seemed a little decadent, and took off her slippers, ready to step on this guy's belly.

But what made Su Shi furious was that this shameless guy actually hugged her calves with both hands, almost causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

"Let me go!"

"You tried to murder your master, and even after I seized the tools, you were still so arrogant. Nagasaki Suyo, ah Nagasaki Suyo... I have never seen a maid as arrogant as you!"

"I'm not your maid!"

"Ok?"

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo was unwilling to admit that when she was threatened by this girl, she actually felt a little bit of joy in her heart.

But no matter what, the "insignificant" handle she had originally thought of definitely no longer existed. Although Su Shi felt that Chihiro should not do such a cruel thing, after all, if she really did that, she would definitely be angry.

But what if...what if this guy really did that?

Moreover, Su Shi actually thought it was a good thing to have a "handle" to maintain the relationship between the two.

But on second thought, Su Shi felt that he was a little ridiculous.

She seemed to... no matter who she was in a relationship with, she always tried hard to maintain it, but no matter which relationship it was, she was not the one who ultimately decided whether to separate.

She wanted her mother to come home more often and spend time with her, but Su Shi could not interfere with the adults' work.

She wanted crychic not to disband and wanted Xiaoxiang to come back, but she still couldn't understand Xiaoxiang's thoughts.

Even with Xiao Mu, she wanted him to help her many times, but she couldn't even do that... because Xiao Mu didn't seem to want to help her get those people back from the beginning to the end.

Now, it is still like this... How pathetic I am. I actually need to provide some evidence to this hateful guy in order to have a sense of security that the relationship is maintained.

Why does it feel like...she, Nagasaki Suyo, is just a little widow in a film or TV show who has no say and is pathetic and miserable?

"What are you thinking about, little widow?"

"!!!"

Could Chihiro Tsuzuki even read minds?!

"Don't call me little widow!"

“Since you don’t like the name of little maid, and you don’t want to be called little widow…” Seeing that Nagasaki Suyo’s face was getting darker, Tsuzuki Chihiro’s heart of teasing Suyo became more and more happy, “Well, then I’ll settle for the second best, and I won’t make it difficult for you.

How about you call me Big Sister when we're alone at home?"

"Why are you the older sister?"

"We were born in the same year. When is your birthday, Sushi?"

"July 5."

"what about me?"

"May 5..." Nagasaki Suyo's face froze again.

Well, she is indeed younger than Chihiro, although only by 7 days, but Chihiro always seems to say things that she can't expect, like now.

"Eh?" Tsuzuki Chihiro narrowed her eyes and a smirk appeared on her soft face. "Xiao Sushi actually remembered my birthday. I'm so happy."

"..."

She still remembers Xiaoxiang's birthday.

However, if she said this, Su Shi always felt something strange, so she decided to pretend to be dead.

"Eat now, it will get cold if you don't, sis."

"Mmmmm~"

Chihiro Tsuzuki had almost reaped the happiness she wanted to gain from annoying Su Shi today, so in order to avoid being cornered by the other party, Chihiro obediently climbed up from the sofa and sat at the dining table with her dishes and chopsticks.

Today's dinner seemed a bit rich. Chihiro raised her eyes and looked at the young widow who was looking at her, as if she wanted to hear something good, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

However, she didn't say any polite compliments, but instead got straight to the point.

"Su Shi, now that we've reconciled, I should continue to help you with the things I promised you."

"What do you mean, Onee-sama~"

Looking at Su Shi, who was wearing a zigzag outfit and trying to disgust her with a smile on her face, Chihiro Tsuzuki had to admit... she did get goosebumps.

"Well, why don't you stop calling me that? I'm scared."

"Didn't you ask me to call you that?"

"Ahem, then you can call me whatever you want." Tsuzuki Chihiro coughed twice, then said after a little thought, "My current thinking is this: the breakthrough point of this matter does not seem to lie with Lixi and Xiaodeng, but Lixi's current view of Xiaoxiang is indeed a bit different from my original idea.

So now the focus is entirely on Xiaoxiang. As long as her problem can be solved, everything can be solved."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo listened to these words silently, but she was not as excited as she was two weeks ago.

"Although I think this matter shouldn't be rushed, but I see that you seem very anxious, Su Shi, otherwise you wouldn't have been so excited to kick me out last time, so..."

"No, I'm not in a hurry."

"Ok?"

"I say..." When facing Qianxun, except for deliberately mocking her, Su Shi actually spoke in her original voice, "I'm not in a hurry now. The result is more important."

No matter what the reason, Su Shi could come to the same conclusion.

The great cause of Cyrchic's resurrection cannot be rushed.

It would be best if this former home could come back, but the fact that she put in so much effort only resulted in a mess shows that things are not as simple as bringing a few people back together for a heart-to-heart talk.

This method might have been useful on the day Xiaoxiang quit, but now... people have changed, and it is difficult for everyone to solve the problem in this way.

Therefore, Su Shi no longer has much hope of solving this problem quickly. Her current mentality is more like setting a goal in her mind, just like some people regard the martial arts hall as a goal. Her goal is the commission agreement between her and Chihiro.

Just like many people cannot find new pursuits after entering the Budokan, the band gradually loses motivation.

She was also afraid that the agreement between her and Chihiro would either fail completely or Chihiro would disappear after success because she was too eager to succeed.

So, is it more important to resurrect crychic itself?

Or is it more important that the person still stands by her side and supports her ideas after she has kicked him out of the house and said so many hurtful words to him?

"No, little widow, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not your deceased husband."

"..."

Well, actually, if this person didn't have this mouth, he would still be able to compete with crychic in her heart.

It's a pity that he has a mouth that deserves a slap.

Chapter 131: Su Shi: Chihiro is a devil! (1/2)

At the dinner table, the topic surrounding follow-up plans has become the only serious matter.

But no matter what, Su Shi still did not intend to cancel the previous commission directly, because she really had no reason to do so.

"So what's your plan, Chihiro? Riki misunderstood that I was crazy... Is that really okay?"

"I can't really say, but it seems that keeping her in the dark is the safest thing to do right now."

Although the food on the table had been almost eaten, neither side stood up because they wanted to talk about some serious matters.

Tsuzuki Chihiro also gave her further opinion after thinking about it:

"But I still have to go find Li Xi and the others in a couple of days to find out what's going on. They're probably in a very awkward situation right now, and now is obviously the perfect time to crush their band!"

“Eh?…Ah?!”

No, why did Su Shi feel like he suddenly heard something extraordinary?

"What's wrong? Isn't this what you've always wanted me to do?" Tsuzuki Chihiro looked at Su Shi in front of her with a smile, and she already knew what this girl was thinking.

However, this time the initiative is completely on her side. Wouldn't it be easy to control the young widow with just a few words?

However, for Su Shi, who was unaware of the truth and had no idea of Chihiro's true purpose, Tsuzuki Chihiro's words seemed a little scary.

Oh no... This woman is serious! She really wants to stick to her previous week self, or rather, her sinister and terrifying evil plan from two weeks ago.

“Think about it, if this band continues to be formed perfectly like this, wouldn’t Aine and Lenai really become an inseparable part of the band?

How can you realize your dream like this? Will Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu have nowhere to stay when they come back?

"I...but...well, what you said...is not wrong."

No, it's all wrong.

But she couldn't refute it. At least at this moment, Su Shi, looking at Chihiro who was sitting in front of her with burning eyes and wholeheartedly thinking about her, she really couldn't say anything to regret it.

Nagasaki Motoyo's original feeling of relief and satisfaction was immediately disturbed by Tsuzuki Chihiro's words. She never thought that Chihiro not only did not betray her, but she was the one who "betrayed" her instead.

Yes, in fact, she was a ridiculous hesitant person from the beginning to the end. She left all the bad things to Chihiro to do, and she played a coward behind the scenes.

Now she is a little hesitant in her heart and regrets everything that has happened. Then she wants to say at this time that she actually wants to be a good person, but is this appropriate?

Now I say that I don’t want to do this anymore, and I put all the blame on Chihiro for my previous actions. Is that okay?

If I said that, wouldn't it be equivalent to completely denying Chihiro's efforts so far, and I would also become the kind of person who is not deeply obsessed with crychic and would think of retreating when there is a problem.

Then why not just tell her what she is really thinking and say that she just wants Chihiro to stay by her side?

It doesn't seem to work either.

Because if you say something like that, wouldn't that be the same as just confessing your feelings? Wouldn't this kind of behavior, which could be misunderstood, scare Chihiro away?

After all, from the perspective of a normal person like Chihiro, she probably doesn't understand why she suddenly developed such a strange sense of dependence on her.
