At this moment, all the clues in her mind came together. It turned out that Fengchuan was Xiaodeng's old friend? And it seemed... they were no longer in touch?

So, Qiuqiu knew this in advance and that’s why she brought the topic to Xiaodeng?

...I always feel like something is wrong. Qiuqiu's attitude shouldn't be that friendly.

This kind of cold and somewhat utilitarian speaking skills, she... has never seen Qiuqiu use it on people close to her.

The pink-haired girl raised her eyes slightly, her light grey eyes looking at the handsome boy next to her, her feet involuntarily moving a little closer to him.

...No matter what happens, she will firmly stand on the same front with Qiuqiu!

"…How are you doing?"

Sakuragawa Aki repeated it softly, holding his chin with one hand as if thinking.

After a moment, he blinked lightly, and his black pupils looked quietly at the outstanding blue-haired girl with twin tails in front of him.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Eh……?"

However, before Toyokawa Shoko, who looked surprised, could say anything, Sakuragawa Aki spoke on his own.

"The lie is that Takamatsu Deng is doing well now, without any worries, and living a very happy life every day."

He looked at Toyokawa Shoko leisurely, paused and said.

"As for the truth...of course, I've had a very hard time."

“…W-why?”

Toyokawa Shoko murmured subconsciously.

"Of course that's because the band broke up."

Sakuragawa Aki narrowed his eyes slightly, and the figure of the girl in front of him was clearly reflected in his calm eyes.

"The performance was a huge success and received widespread acclaim, but the band leader put the blame on her, thinking she hadn't practiced well and looking down on her low level."

"And the band's leader not only missed band practice for a long time without reason, but also announced his withdrawal from the band afterwards, causing the band to fall apart, hurting everyone's feelings, and leaving a huge scar on her heart."

Shoko Toyokawa widened her eyes slightly and looked at the calm and indifferent expression on the handsome face of the boy in front of her.

She took a half step back, clenched her hands quietly, and listened to the words from the other person's mouth. Even her breathing became a little rapid.

But Sakuragawa Aki's output continues.

"And then, when we met again, I had to endure his cold violence. He gave me a cold attitude and completely refused to communicate."

"...And just recently, when the girl finally began to slowly walk out of the shadow of the past."

Sakuragawa Aki tilted his head slightly, looking down at the petite blue-haired girl with twin tails in front of him, his tone becoming icy cold.

"The former band leader has reappeared, hypocritically questioning those around the girl, wanting to know about her recent situation."

Sakuragawa Aki looked down at Toyokawa Shoko in front of him, his dark pupils seemed to contain an endless black tide, cold and oppressive.

"So, the former leader of this band is the one who needs to apologize the most. Tell me...what has she been doing so far?"

“…No, don’t say that anymore.”

Shoko Toyokawa clasped her hands in front of her chest, showing an obvious defensive posture. Her golden eyes trembled slightly, and she unconsciously took another half step back.

Every word the other person said pierced her heart, pointing directly to the most vulnerable part of her heart. This was the debt she had always owed, and the scars from the past that she didn't want to recall!

Doubt, confusion, pain, regret...all kinds of complicated emotions flooded her heart.

And Sakuragawa Aki also said the most profound words lightly.

"Toyokawa Shoko? Haha... you're really high and mighty."

Chapter 122: I only think about myself

For Sakuragawa Aki,

Under normal circumstances, the personality traits he displays are relatively gentle and rational, and he basically maintains a neutral position without being overly biased towards either side.

However, this does not mean that he is a weak man who can only do what he does.

Unfortunately, if he really reveals his sharpest and most aggressive side, then no girl would be his match.

Because these girls basically couldn't break his defenses with words.

In this world, he has almost no weaknesses!

The so-called laning, in essence, is nothing more than 'taking damage' and 'outputting damage'. The one with the thickest armor will be hit the hardest!

The reason why I don't show my cold and sharp side on a daily basis is simply because there is no need to do so.

When it comes to friends, you should not point your sharp side at them. The blade... should always be pointed towards the enemy.

Only those who are mentally immature will frequently hurt those who are good to them and care about them.

At this moment, Sakuragawa Aki finally exposed his sharpest side to the two girls.

Of these two people, one is his closest friend, and the other is the 'enemy' who hurt his friend.

——He never goes gentle to his enemies.

"What? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Usu no 0 also Ⅱ 耏趰 求領

A slightly cold smile appeared on the corner of Sakuragawa Aki's mouth.

"Are you also planning to use cold violence against me? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm not interested in playing house games with you, and I'm not interested in you at all."

"...You, why do you know...?" Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth, her face shrouded in frost, and her hands around her chest were trembling slightly.

The other party's previous words did hurt her and touched the side of her that she least wanted to be touched.

Moreover, she was also deeply puzzled in her heart as to why the other party knew so much, as if he had witnessed everything that had happened...

No, these things can be easily found out as long as you are in the same band with Deng and Lixi.

She knew Deng and Lixi's personalities very well. Neither of them was the type to be on guard against their friends.

"...Why would I know this? Is it important?" Sakuragawa Aki said calmly, looking down at the petite girl in front of him. "You know more and understand everything better than I do, but now, aren't you just here to satisfy yourself?"

"I... I'm not self-satisfied!" Shoko Toyokawa spoke with difficulty, her tone rarely sharp.

It’s a pity that the eldest lady’s upbringing and demeanor in daily life make her words light and soft, without any sense of oppression at all.

Shoko Toyokawa is not very good at arguing with others.

If you scold her, she will probably just cry and say that her stockings fell off.

But Sakuragawa Aki is not that bad,

He could speak to the girl, but that was just a verbal confrontation, a more extreme form of communication.

If he had just cursed at the girl, or bullied her and fought with her by taking advantage of his physical advantage, wouldn't that have been bullying?

He is not the type who likes to bully the weak, and he has no interest in bullying a weak girl.

"Toyokawa-san, I'm curious, do you ever think in your heart that you've done something wrong?"

Sakuragawa Aki took a step and walked slowly in the music classroom.

However, he did not walk towards Teacher Daxiang, so as not to give her a further sense of oppression.

On the contrary, he was walking towards the window, slowly becoming parallel to Shoko Toyokawa who was already leaning against the piano.

In fact, Sakuragawa Aki intentionally gave up his seat at the door. After all, as I said before, this was not a bullying scene.

It is definitely immoral to block the door and not let people go out.

This was just a conversation, a verbal confrontation, and Shoko Toyokawa could choose to escape at any time.

"—But I remember that if you do something wrong, you have to apologize."

Sakuragawa Aki turned his head, looked at Toyokawa Shoko with his eyes slightly lowered, and said in a calm tone.

"You hurt your friend, ran away and cut off everything, but because you couldn't bear the condemnation in your heart, you did some self-satisfying things to hypnotize yourself."

"Even if you get the latest news about Deng from me today, what will you do next?"

Sakuragawa Akira leaned against the window and spoke slowly. "Will you try to talk to her? Will you apologize and make amends for what you did?"

"Do not."

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head.

"You won't do anything. You'll just avoid it until the next time you feel guilty, and then do something that can only satisfy yourself."

He saw Shoko Toyokawa clenching her fists, and a hint of helpless sarcasm appeared on his face.

"You don't even dare to write a note, but most girls can muster up the courage to put a love letter in the shoe cabinet of the boy they like."

He actually has a deep understanding of this. After all, he receives several love letters in his shoe cabinet every day.

Of course, he would open the letters and read them before politely replying to each one to avoid hurting the girls' delicate hearts.

If you read too many words written with great care, you will feel stressed.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly.

To be honest, Toyokawa Shoko did have her own reasons for quitting Crychic, and she also had reasonable excuses.

However, this cannot be an excuse for her to hurt her friend's feelings without being punished at all.

In general, most people agree with the idea that they have to give up "secondary things or emotions" for the "most important things".

Because this is a very normal thing, everyone will face such a choice, so everyone can understand it.

Human life is the most precious.

If you have no choice but to hurt your friends and close ones for the sake of your own life, the lives of your parents, relatives, siblings, and important people, then you can be forgiven.

However, this "important thing" cannot be just for you, but must be recognized by the majority of people.

Obviously, the eldest lady's lofty "self-esteem" is not among them.

The reason why Shoko Toyokawa would detonate Crychic and hurt her friends is nothing more than the so-called "self-esteem".

Her meager self-esteem obviously could not offset the emotional harm suffered by the girls.

"You...what do you know about me?" Shoko Toyokawa bit her lips tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

She clasped her arms across her chest and hunched her shoulders slightly, making her petite figure seem even smaller at this moment.

"You clearly don't know anything. You clearly... don't know how I feel!"

She shouted with a hint of tears in her voice.

Saki-chan was really a little bit defeated. Facing the "stranger" Sakuragawa Aki, she also played the "you don't understand anything" card.

It's a pity that this card is completely useless against people I don't know well. After all, I really don't know you well. If you say you don't understand, then you don't understand.

However, Sakuragawa Aki was not speaking nonsense. On the contrary, he knew the girl very well.

It should be said that at this moment, he perhaps understands the girl Toyokawa Shoko better than anyone else in the world.

"No, I know you very well."

Sakuragawa Aki looked into those golden eyes that shone with water, his eyes full of calmness and a little helplessness.

He sighed softly.

"Toyokawa-san, you really only think about yourself."
