You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

But here's the surprise.

The other party actually took the initiative to speak.

Li Xi was slightly surprised, but didn't think about it too much. She pushed open the door of the cafe and walked in with Ruo Yemu.

For a while.

Most of the eyes in the cafe were focused on Wakaba Mutsu, and everyone was curious about the customer who came to the cafe at this time.

The girl looked like a character from a picture book. When she stepped through the door, she was like a drop of water falling from a green lotus leaf into a mirror-like lake, causing slight ripples but attracting everyone's attention.

I feel like she is a sea of clouds pressing against the horizon, a moon in the water shimmering in the light. A quick look at her facial features reveals a delicate work that can only be sketched with a paintbrush. Looking at her clothes, the gray-blue long skirt and the lace necklace around her neck are the finishing touches.

If Ye Mu was used to being stared at, he would always be watched whenever he was in the theater or in acting class.

She nodded slightly to the cafe staff, then looked away and continued to follow Lixi to the second floor.

At first, the employees discussed who this beautiful and lovely girl was, but they quickly passed over the topic and continued with the lively party.

After all, those who can come to RiNG to work are more or less considered to be in the ranks of the real life, with guaranteed character and ability, and no one will gossip about others behind their backs.

Among the crowd, only Yamada Ryo was still lost in thought.

wrong.

its not right.

Who is this new girl?

It seems like he is here to look for his junior fellow student.

A fan? Not really.

It doesn't feel right to call him a friend. If he were a friend, there would be no need to bring him here in such a serious manner at this time.

and so……

A former band member?

That bassist?

Or someone else?

Ok……

So caring.

I really want to go up and take a look, but I have a feeling I’ll definitely be kicked down…I’d better wait until my junior wakes up tomorrow and then ask him.

the other side.

Ruoye Mu followed Li Xi without saying a word and came to the second floor.

She did not observe the layout of the second floor, but kept her eyes focused and followed Li Xi obediently, maintaining a proper social distance.

When you arrive in a new environment, looking around randomly is considered impolite. When you are with people you are not close to, you should always pay attention to the distance between each other.

She was often scolded by her mother for not following these rules, so these unnecessary etiquette became a habit for her to follow all year round.

There is no Shoko Toyokawa as a bond.

She and Lixi are just ordinary friends who can call each other by name.

Li Xi also knew this, so she didn't say anything, but just brought Wakaba Mutsu to Toyokawa Sho.

Looking at Toyokawa Sho who was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, she lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes covered her eyes with a complicated expression.

To be honest.

She began to regret it the moment she saw Ruoye Mu.

The closer she got to Toyokawa Sho with Wakaba Mutsu, the stronger the feeling of regret in her heart became.

She remembered what the old man had just said to her.

[It's very simple. You can try to imagine a scene where Fengchuan walks with others.]

If you feel annoyed or resistant, it means you don't consider Fengchuan as a friend.

stab.

stab.

The piece of paper that was blocking my heart was suddenly torn into a huge crack. Even if it was just left aside, it would fall to the ground soon.

Li Xi's pupils shrank slightly. She had already seen the outline of the answer, but she couldn't admit it so quickly. Countless thoughts popped up in her mind, which she used as excuses to fool herself.

I definitely still regard Xiang as a friend.

I regret that Mu came here only because I was afraid that Mu would hurt Xiang like Su Shi did.

She told herself this in her heart, then took a deep breath and slowly turned sideways, allowing Wakaba Mu to see Toyokawa Sho lying on the sofa and resting.

"—"

This look.

So many feelings.

Like a cherry blossom tree in full bloom in the wrath of spring.

Like the sunset and dusk strolling in the sea of flowers.

The crimson mountains at dusk, the horizon where the sea and sky merge into one in the afterglow, the starry sky kissing the earth, and the moon that graces the night sky.

These breathtakingly beautiful scenes replaced the place she was in. Now, even a single breath, a single blink of an eye, would cross the distance of the world, pass through the fleeting time, and intertwine the red thread of her fate with the person before her, intertwine... and intertwine again -

Consciousness turned into a speeding train, whizzing through the dense buildings. Orange light flew in from the window through the glass, mixed with countless memories and sounds and broke into the heart.

Wakaba Mutsu slightly opened her thin pink lips.

In those light golden eyes, a streak of light moved along the crystal.

She seemed to see it.

Twenty-five years of memories flashed before her eyes.

It was not only Wakaba Mu who saw the memories. Under Wakaba Mu's influence, Li Xi was also caught up in this strong mental fluctuation and saw his previous memories.

This time it is more specific and more real than any previous time.

Although it is still a fragmented narrative, we can only see some unsystematic pictures.

But enough is enough.

Li Xi's heart could no longer escape.

She stood aside, watching Wakaba Mu staring silently at Toyokawa Sho, and felt like an outsider who was at a loss as to what to do.

In this encounter that seems to transcend time and the world, she is a passerby who has nothing to do with it, and an unnecessary corner in this beautiful story.

The suffocating feeling made her suppressed emotions reach their peak at that moment.

Break through all false illusions.

Until the most real answer.

original.

I like him.

Shiina Riki moved his thin lips slightly, his slender fingers tightly clasped his palms, and his lavender eyes slowly emitted a fluorescence that went straight to the soul.

The memory of just four days flashed before my eyes. It was short, yet long, rushed, yet slow, like a fleeting meteor with a long tail, or like sitting in a theater and watching a movie with the reels rolling.

See you on the street on the first day.

The next day's fireworks were in full bloom.

The third day was the day of taking the vows.

And... the sincere affirmation of this day.

It turned out to be the case.

So this is ah……

Whether it's wanting him to have a good sleep, wanting to overcome difficulties and bring him happiness, or wanting to be a drummer worthy of him, the root of these thoughts all comes from the simplest answer.

I...like him.

Don't treat him as a friend.

Instead, treat them as people you admire and like.

Why is it such a simple thing.

I didn't realize it until now.

If only I had realized it sooner.

If I had held his hand the moment he affirmed me.

Is it possible to wipe away the pain in his heart even without looking for peace?

Shiina Riki's nose felt sore, his eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his hands tightly, then slowly loosened them.

Maybe so.

But no matter what the answer is, I will work hard for him. This is the only thing I can be sure of.

Because I have already made up my mind.

There are more important things than yourself.

Even if I knew what I was thinking a long time ago, I would still bring Mu and the others here like I did today.

It's just a matter of time.

It's bound to happen eventually.

and so……

and so……

Don't cry, bastard...

Don't cry.

Chapter 55: Wakaba Mutsu's courage, Anhe Subaru's first appearance.

For Wakaba Mu.

There is only one way to go in life.

That is living according to other people's expectations.

There must not be any deviation from expectations, and resistance and complaints are not allowed. Countless threads have turned into nerves connected to her flesh and blood, controlling her to walk impartially on the path that others believe is correct.

Her parents had drawn up all the plans for her future, which they had drawn up from their own life experiences. They felt that this was the most appropriate, least tortuous, and easiest way to achieve happiness.

But whether this path is suitable for Ruo Yemu or whether it is what she wants, her parents have never asked and have no intention of asking.

Children should not interfere with adults' decisions.

We do this for your own good.

Ruo Yemu was tormented by these words that almost became her nightmare for fifteen years. She could feel her parents' love for her, but this love was like fillings mixed with razor blades, like soup dumplings mixed with magma.

Not to mention eating it, she didn't even dare to pick it up.

But there was only one choice before her. Compared to the physical pain, she was more afraid of her parents' disappointed eyes, so she could only swallow her tears of grievance into her stomach, her mouth full of blood, but she dared not cry out in pain.

She had never felt happy at home.

It's just a series of days spent mechanically repeating the same things that I respond to my parents' expectations.

The rest of the day.

She also felt that it would always be so.

Until today, an opportunity fell from the sky, like a ball emitting faint fluorescence, slowly landing in the palm of her hand.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the light in her hand. She felt that it was like a flame burning like a cluster of stars. If there was any wind or rain, the fire would be extinguished and there would be no hope.
