Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"What am I?"

Just after walking out of the bathroom, Chihiro, who was sitting opposite Lixi, had just sat down and before she could even open her mouth, Lixi ruthlessly exposed all her disguises.

Of course, such a result was already expected by Chihiro. The reason why she did this was not because she expected to deceive Li Xi, but because she hoped that Su Shi, who trusted her very much, could leave with peace of mind.

She had already made the young widow wait for her at home for a whole night yesterday, and she couldn't let her worry about other things today.

So after she confirmed that Su Shi had left and sent her a message reporting her location, Chihiro immediately took off her hat and mask.

While using her eyes to stop Lenna who was about to put down her guitar and run over to this side, Chihiro smiled and introduced herself:

"Shiina Riki, right? I've heard about you from Suyo. As for me... I'm Suyo's good friend and Rakuna's older sister. My name is Tsuzuki Chihiro."

"Chihiro Tsuzuki!"

Li Xi looked at the girl in front of her with a somewhat unfriendly expression. Although she didn't know why the other party was wearing Su Shi's clothes, she was sure of one thing.

That's this guy... he's definitely not a good person.

"Or you can call me by my other name - Nagasaki Soyo."

"...Eh? No, what did you say? Who are you?!"

Chihiro Tsuzuki sighed. She felt that it was time to change her strategy. After all, the lie of having a dual personality could not last long.

"You mean... it was you all along? What about Su Shi?"

"She never seemed to mention she had a split personality, right? Honestly... I was actually a little surprised when you said those words about split personality on LINE."

"But……"

"You want to ask me why I do this, right?"

"nonsense."

Chihiro Tsuzuki put on a very sad expression, "Since things have developed to this point, there are some things I have to explain to you clearly.

All of this... starts with a promise between Su Shi and me."

Chapter 162 Li Xi: Protecting the Best Su Shi (12)

How to make everyone reconcile is a very difficult question.

Even for an experienced person like Chihiro Tsuzuki who has many skills in making up stories, it is difficult to get these problematic girls to sit down together and talk about their thoughts while maintaining utmost sincerity.

Yes, in fact, many things can be better if they are talked out. Find a table, gather everyone together, and let everyone speak out their thoughts. After understanding each other, they can reconcile with each other...

What a great result.

However, it is not that easy to implement. The biggest problem is that these children are only freshmen in high school. Many of them are mentally immature and can only see themselves and one or two people around them when doing things.

Most of the time, their prejudices against others outweigh everything else, so the premise of everyone sitting together and speaking their minds to each other is impossible to achieve.

Therefore, the only way was to use a lie that would allow Su Shi to get away with it, use these people's empathy to trick them into getting together, and finally resolve the conflict while finding a reason to remove Su Shi from these things. This was the best way Chihiro could think of.

Of course, she admitted that this method was a deception from the beginning, and everyone who knew the truth would definitely be angry and sad.

But it is better than not understanding each other, allowing misunderstandings to exist, and then parting ways.

"What did you mean by that? Did Su Shi ask you to do all this? Pretend to be her to deceive everyone?"

"Ah."

"She...how could she do this! She doesn't know the light..."

"Don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious!"

Li Xi's voice became very excited and angry. She thought about many situations, the specific meaning of those dreams, and how Su Shi should solve the problem of illness in the future.

But she never thought that all this was a lie and Su Shi had never been sick.

That’s right... How could it be such a coincidence that I would encounter such a rare mental illness patient in real life?

She is so stupid. Only a fool would believe these words, right?

"Can you calm down? Look at yourself now!" Tsuzuki Chihiro deliberately spoke loudly, using her "anger" to suppress Riki's anger. "It's because Su Shi knew you would be like this that she chose this method!"

"I……"

"Can you listen to my explanation first?"

"...Okay, explain."

Li Xi no longer wanted to care about this matter. She felt that no matter what explanation she gave, she could not forgive Su Shi's deception.

"Let me start with how Su Shi and I met."

"...I'm not interested in you."

"You have to listen to that too."

"Okay, okay..." Seeing that Chihiro Tsuzuki had such a cute face, but was so scary when she spoke coldly, Li Xi was a little afraid to speak.

“I won’t go into too much detail, all you need to know is that I’m from England and I’ve tried to form a band a few times but it all failed.

By some chance, Su Shi discovered my ability to disguise myself, and one day she suddenly found me and said she wanted to ask me for a favor.

"what's up?"

"She asked me to take her place, to pretend to be her when she's not around, and to keep everyone at crychic company company.

Because she knew that everyone in the band probably couldn't let go of the past, and she herself couldn't let go of everyone either, but she had to let go because she had to go abroad.

Have to give up yourself.

At the same time, she also learned that I really wanted to form a band, so she smiled and said to me: "Chihiro, would you like to form a band with Xiaoxiang and Lixi?

They are all very good people, but everyone has misunderstood them. If everyone can speak their minds, we will definitely be able to make it to the end.'"

"..."

Li Xi was suddenly stunned. She never expected that this incident would start like this.

Yes, all of this is a lie, a very bad scam, but... Su Shi hopes that everyone can continue to be together, although this method is a bit too paranoid.

But paranoia...isn't that Su Shi's character?

She hopes that everyone can get together, crychic can reconcile, and she also hopes that Chihiro Tsuzuki can find a home. After she leaves, she still hopes that her old friends can happily form a band and sing on stage.

To this end, she wrote down her own feelings and even put the blame on someone else for the song's creation.

All of this is to pave the way for her most cherished friend. She hopes to use a lie to end the months of estrangement. She hopes that the friends who once worked hard together can once again accompany Deng's singing together.

"But... crychic can't come back."

"Are you being fair to Su Shi by saying this?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro switched from defense to offense, and after finding the initiative, she immediately gave chase. "She's even planning to abandon her own identity. She wants to use this ridiculous method to get everyone back, but now you want to deny it all... even though you don't know why a good band suddenly disbanded inexplicably."

"I...but..."

"She really had no other choice, because she didn't expect you to misunderstand her as having a split personality, nor did she expect that her wish would be shattered because of this.

She thought that her and I had planned this, so she came to you today with this mentality, and she wanted to make up for this mistake.

But you never intended to tell her everything from the beginning to the end, and only wanted to discuss all the problems with me, your substitute.

What do you think she was thinking in that situation?"

"So... Su Shi is sad because of this, right?" Li Xi's expression was full of guilt.

"Yes, she feels that her existence has no meaning anymore because no one needs her anymore, and this city...maybe won't miss her anymore."

Is it possible that the ingredients used are a bit too strong?

Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at Riki who had been completely convinced, and felt a little guilty.

But this is also good. After Li Xi's problem is solved, I can pull other people over and put the problem on the table. Finally, I can find a reason to say that Su Shi doesn't need to go abroad.

This way she withdrew from it and everyone else was happy.

A perfect plan, isn't it?

"So, are you planning to tell everyone the truth and make Su Shi a complete sinner, or are you going to cooperate with me and continue acting, and after you help me win everyone back, you can find a way to solve the problem of Su Shi going abroad?

I think you should know what to do. Sometimes lying is not good, but if it can bring good results, isn't it good?

Even if crychic can't come back, the mystery of that night must have a solution, right? "

"...I understand. I will cooperate with you."

Chapter 163: If we give Qianxun a fulcrum, will she be able to influence all women? (End)

"It's raining."

Nagasaki Suyo sat alone on the sofa in the living room, looking at the rain outside the window. Thousands of grass-like rain marks appeared on the glass window like an abstract painting, and then continued to fall down as the girl blinked.

This reminded her of that unforgettable night. When Xiaoxiang left, what did Xiaomu say to Xiaoxiang when he chased him out to give him an umbrella?

Just leave everything to Chihiro...

Am I relying too much on Chihiro? She clearly just doesn't want the band to disband because of her. It seems that as long as this responsibility is placed on someone else's shoulders, she can sit back and wait for good news at home without any worries.

Perhaps, she shouldn't have taken this path from the beginning. One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. Chihiro probably has already tricked Lixi into a fool by now.

If Li Xi discovered the truth...hiss, Su Shi felt that he might be torn into pieces.

"Dong Dong~"

Hearing the knock on the door, Nagasaki Suyo widened her eyes and showed a happy expression, and trotted to the door like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

"Chihiro...ah, mom."

At the door, Nagasaki Rina's expression froze slightly, and the smile on her face turned a little helpless. "Is Chihiro the only child in Su Shi's heart now?"

"No... Mom came home early today."

"Because it was raining heavily, a social event I had originally scheduled was postponed to another day because of the rain, so I naturally came back much earlier~"

Rina Nagasaki touched her daughter's head and didn't pay much attention to her daughter's strange expression just now.

It was time to cook dinner. After pushing Suze out of the kitchen, Rina started cooking the second meal of the week at home after a long absence.

"Sushi, are you sure your friend will come?"

"Maybe?"

"should?"

"...I will definitely come." Nagasaki Suyo gave an affirmative answer this time.

She may not believe anything else, but she will definitely believe that Chihiro Tsuzuki will not miss the opportunity to force her to wear a maid outfit and rub her legs.

Just for this reason, that guy will come back tonight.

"Then I'll make enough for the three of us."

Nagasaki Rina nodded, and the word "expectation" was almost written on her face.

However, what the mother and daughter did not expect was that when Su Shi ran to the entrance to open the door for the second time today, what she was waiting for was another unexpected scene.

"Chihiro...why are you wet?"

"Why are you so surprised?" Chihiro Tsuzuki's hair was a little damp. Unlike Rina Nagasaki, who drove directly to the garage and took the elevator up, she had been caught in quite a bit of rain. "You'll get wet too if you go down and walk around."

"Forehead."

"What's that look on your face? Don't you welcome me?"

Nagasaki Suyo had a headache. She was beginning to dread the dinner party tonight. "Um... I forgot to tell you, my mother is at home today."

"Huh? Are you talking about me?" Tsuzuki Chihiro stretched out her finger and flicked Su Shi's face. "Do you think that by trying to please me like this, you can get away with being my maid?"

"No, I'm not kidding you!"

"..."

Ten minutes later.

Su Shi sat opposite her mother, with Chihiro sitting next to her, but this scene always made Su Shi feel a little strange.

Fortunately, Lenai did not come with them. This should be the only thing that makes Su Shi feel thankful.
