You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

Chapter 60 S0 Champion: Defeat Toyokawa Sho in one night, because I am Wakaba Mutsu.

Toyokawa Sho came up with a plate and saw Wakaba Mutsu still sitting obediently on the sofa waiting for him.

The posture was still the same as before I left, with two small hands placed neatly on the legs, and two feet wrapped in exquisitely crafted white socks tucked into loafers that would feel painful after a long time, and gently put together.

With its head lowered, it looks listless, like a flower that grows silently on unattended soil without anyone taking care of it.

It seemed that as long as no one called her, she would just sit there and wait.

Toyokawa Sho walked over with a tray.

His footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound, a result of the complex and heavy etiquette education he received as a child.

But even though it was so slight, and even with the noisy party going on downstairs that could completely cover up the sound of footsteps, Wakaba Mu still felt Toyokawa Sho.

She raised her head, her expression a little dazed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Toyokawa Sho first apologized, then put the juice on the tray on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Wakaba Mutsu.

He did not sit down in a hurry. Instead, he held the tray and stood by with a smile on his face, acting like a handsome waiter who would ask about the well-being of a wet beautiful woman and help dry her shoes and coat on a cold rainy day.

"Ten minutes, not long."

Ruoye Mu first shook his head, then looked at the glass in front of him and seemed to have specially picked a more beautiful conical glass.

She noticed a decorative slice of lemon on the rim of the glass, a green straw in the glass, and just the right amount of ice, neither too much nor too little.

When I held it in my hand, it felt cold. I bit the straw and took a small sip. The delicious juice, mixed with coolness and freshness, slid into my throat.

A faint light appeared in her eyes, and the depression between her brows because she was about to go home to face her mother faded a lot.

Mango juice is one of the few things she likes. Often, as long as she can drink a sip, it seems that she can suppress many things in her heart, and the pressure on her shoulders will be reduced.

"tasty?"

Toyokawa Sho asked knowingly.

"……Um."

Wakaba Mu nodded slightly, and looked at Fengchuan Xiang next to him again. He let go of the straw, and parted his pink lips slightly. His tone was obviously very weak, but his meaning was quite direct. "...Don't you want to sit?"

Won't you sit next to me?

Toyokawa Sho's expression was quite moved. He blinked rapidly a few times to suppress the strange feeling that was welling up in his heart.

As expected, Mu is always cute.

...I don’t know how Xiangzi views Mu.

If her relationship with Mu is as good as mine.

Then... I should be more restrained.

At least Mu can't be involved in the matter between Xiangzi and me.

I don't want her to become like she was before, caught between me and Su Shi, unable to get any good results, and it would be wrong to favor either side.

"I'm afraid if I sit over there I won't be able to help but act coquettishly towards you."

Toyokawa Sho said honestly, "You are under a lot of pressure right now. I don't want you to worry about my affairs anymore. I am already very satisfied just now."

"As for Xiang, it's okay."

Ruoye Mu shook her head again, her voice soft, a clear fluorescent light flickering in her beautiful yellow eyes. She thought of Toyokawa Shoko, and her delicate features couldn't help but be tinged with a hint of worry.

Shoko Toyokawa is the only one who is holding on by gritting her teeth.

As a friend of Toyokawa Shoko, she couldn't even go over to comfort him. Whenever she thought of Toyokawa Shoko not wanting help from anyone, not even her, she felt empty.

I feel like I have failed in my duty as a good friend.

Can't even be someone who is needed.

"If Xiang doesn't say anything and just carries on alone... I'll be even more worried."

Facing Wakaba Mu's worried eyes, Toyokawa Sho was stunned for a moment. Many years ago, Wakaba Mu also looked at him in the same way.

But at that time he was trapped by his own self-esteem. First, he felt that he had fallen to this point and the relationship between him and Wakaba Mu was no longer equal. Second, he did not want to involve Wakaba Mu, so he always avoided Wakaba Mu.

Think about it now.

I am actually very lucky.

If it were someone else, they would have left the first time he rejected them, and would never have stood by him and helped him silently afterwards.

So when he heard Ruoye Mu's caring words again, he no longer acted willfully, but put the tray in his hand aside and sat down naturally.

Ruoye Mu's heart moved slightly, and he was a little surprised.

She felt that when Toyokawa Sho woke up, he hugged her because he was in a state of emotional catharsis. Once Toyokawa Sho calmed down, he would probably be as distant to her as he was with Toyokawa Shoko.

But think about it carefully.

In the future, I will have an adult relationship with the other person... and it seems normal to sit here.

She raised her eyes and looked at Toyokawa Sho a little awkwardly. Because she had not really thought that the other party would sit over to her, she had no corresponding plan in her mind and didn't know what to say at this time.

"You can say whatever you want. You don't have to worry about anything in front of me."

Toyokawa Sho noticed her embarrassment and said considerately.

Upon hearing this, Ruo Ye Mu lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his eyes again. His voice sounded very unconfident, like a child mustering up the courage to say something to an adult.

"Then...can you rest your head on my lap...?"

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Sho's expression was dull, and he blinked. "Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Because, Xiang doesn't look much better... He's in pieces and very pitiful."

Ruoye Mu held the juice and murmured, "So I want to do more for you."

"..."

Toyokawa Sho turned his head away silently, pressed his cheeks on both sides with one hand, pinched them hard, and then slowly slid them down. Now it was his turn to feel confused.

Was Mu so proactive ten years ago...?

I was so focused on paying off my debts before that I never thought about what she thought of me now...

No, now that he is fifteen years old and has received twenty-five years of memories, it seems normal for him to be very proactive... right?

But it hasn't finished loading yet. Even if you download a movie, you have to watch it bit by bit, not to mention the memories from another timeline. But it doesn't make sense if you don't explain it this way.

do not care.

Now that things have come to this, let’s just lie down first.

Mu is right, I really want to stay with her for a while longer.

Toyokawa Sho didn't say much. He picked up the cat doll he had mended in the morning, turned sideways, and rested his head on Wakaba Mu's thigh.

Despite the delicate texture of the skirt, the girl's plump thighs can be clearly felt on the cheek. They are as soft as snow, but also have a solid sense of strength.

Ruo Ye Mu has been learning ballet since she was a child, and the training intensity of her lower limbs is very high. This not only gives her excellent flexibility, but also creates a pair of beautiful legs that many girls envy. She can easily do many postures that ordinary people find difficult to do.

For example, doing the splits or moving the front legs.

Toyokawa Sho had seen Wakaba Mutsu dance many times before, and every time Wakaba Mutsu would be very tired. The physical requirements for learning to dance are difficult to match by any other course in the world.

Sometimes she would pull a tendon or a muscle during training. If Ye Mu didn't show it in class, when he went to pick her up at night, she would walk up to him with her head lowered, then throw herself into his arms and cry without saying a word.

Toyokawa Sho closed his eyes, feeling many childhood memories flashing before his eyes. He could smell her familiar body fragrance with a light sniff. With her head resting on his legs, he felt a strong sense of security in his heart.

Ruoye Mu lowered her eyes slightly, and her slender and light fingers slowly and shyly stroked Fengchuan Xiang's silver-blue hair. The more she touched, the hotter her cheeks felt. She suppressed her gradually becoming a little delusional mind and asked softly.

"...How's Lixi?"

"It's much better now. At least I don't bury my head in my head anymore and put myself in an uncomfortable position."

Toyokawa Sho replied.

“That’s great.”

Wakaba Mu's expression softened a little.

"Yeah, that's great."

Toyokawa Sho said softly, then slowly opened his eyes.

"...Mu."

"Ah."

if possible.

In fact, he didn't want to ask the next question.

But sooner or later, he and Wakaba Mu will have to face this problem, and as Wakaba Mu receives more and more memories, this problem will become more and more obvious.

Rather than waiting until the end.

It’s better to say it early, so as not to leave it to the end and turn it into a bomb that no one can avoid.

"Can I ask you what you think of me and Toyokawa Shoko?"

Wakaba Mutsu stopped stroking Toyokawa Sho's hand. Could it be that Sho has already met Shoko... ?

She pondered silently for a while.

The answer was given simply and clearly.

"Xiang and Xiang... are both very important people to me."

For Wakaba Mu, this was a natural answer.

Whether it was Toyokawa Sho or Toyokawa Shoko, she felt that they were inseparable.

It was only because the memory had not been fully absorbed that Wakaba Mu had not yet realized that there was a decisive difference between Toyokawa Shoko and Toyokawa Sho.

Most of what was in her mind now were memories of her childhood with Toyokawa Sho. Occasionally, there were flashes of their ups and downs as adults, but she hadn't seen her attend Toyokawa Sho's mother's funeral, nor had she seen memories of the years after Toyokawa Sho left the Toyokawa family.

If she knew this, she would not have answered Toyokawa Sho's question in this way, but would have been put in a difficult situation where she had to choose between Toyokawa Sho and Toyokawa Shoko.

In the end, should we pay more attention to Toyokawa Sho or should we pay more attention to Toyokawa Shoko?

Once you think this way, you will kick yourself into an endless state and will never be able to find a good middleman position.

Toyokawa Sho didn't want Wakaba Mutsu to be caught in the middle in the future, so he took this opportunity to remove the psychological burden for Wakaba Mutsu in advance.

"...Because Mu is so gentle, I knew she would say that. However, Xiangzi and I are not exactly the same. In terms of experience and circumstances, we have some differences, and this difference makes it difficult for me to see her as the me of ten years ago."

"I also thought that I was too stubborn, and if I didn't think about it, there wouldn't be any problems. So I tried to face it again, but I was still caught off guard by the huge difference."

……difference?

Wakaba Mu remembered what her parents had mentioned to her before, that Xiangzi's father had failed the family head and suffered a crushing defeat, so he left the family, leaving Xiangzi's mother, Toyokawa Mizuho, only to show weakness, bide her time, and prepare to make a comeback.

Xiangzi left the family because she was dissatisfied with the family struggle and angry at the way the family treated her father, so she left the family and took on the responsibility of taking care of her father alone.

Xiang said he was different from Xiangzi...

What exactly is the difference...?

A strong sense of uneasiness emerged in Wakaba Mu's heart.

She tried to find the answer from the memories she received, but the time she received them was too short and she could not find any useful information at all. She had to suppress her uneasy mind and continue listening to Toyokawa Sho.

"But please don't worry, Mu. There's no irreconcilable conflict between Xiangzi and me. In fact, our relationship is actually quite good. So when you think back on the differences between her and me later, don't rush to do anything, and don't think that considering Xiangzi will make me uncomfortable."

"I know you might feel that as our mutual friend and half, it's inappropriate for you to take sides with either of us. But like I said, Xiangzi and I don't have any absolute conflict, so there's no need to focus too much on who you take sides with."

"I can assure you that no matter what decision you ultimately make, I will support you."

As he spoke, Toyokawa Sho pulled up Wakaba Mu's little hand that was placed on his hair and gently held it in his palm.

"I only have one thing to ask of you. Once you've regained your memory, please keep my secret for now and don't tell Xiangzi about me. She's still very fragile, as thin as a taut string... Once everything is better, it won't be too late to tell her later."

Feeling the other person's warm palm, Ruo Yemu's cheeks turned slightly red. She did not resist, but held the other person's hand with the same force, then opened her mouth and nodded gently and solemnly.

"...Okay, I promise Xiang."

"You don't have to promise me so solemnly,"
