"Is...is that so?"

……

"Don't follow me!"

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the two followers behind her. As soon as she turned around, they stopped, took a few steps and immediately caught up again. They were really haunting...

It even attracted the attention of passers-by, who thought we were playing some new and interesting game.

Finally, I couldn't help but angrily said to the person behind me, "Aren't you going to class today?!"

"No."

Mu, who was standing behind Pochi, said this with a blank expression.

"Tsk...that's enough!"

He turned around and looked at them, "You know where my home is anyway, come over here and let's go together!"

"Look, I told you, she just wants us to follow her."

"I...I don't think Su Shi meant that..."

Pochi said as he followed cautiously, then stopped in front of the extremely tall apartment building and dared not go forward.

"What? You followed me here but you don't dare to come in?"

Nagasaki Suyo taunted as she stood at the door of the apartment.

“No… this…”

Pochi looked up. Standing downstairs, he couldn't even see the rooftop. It was really a bit exaggerated. He whispered to Mu beside him, "Su...Su Shi actually lives in a place like this. I'd like to ask which floor it is..."

"Top floor."

"Top...top floor?!"

Wouldn't that mean even if you fell, you'd still be hanging in the air for a long time? So Su Shi is such a wealthy family?!

"Ugh."

Su Shi sighed. Although he lived in a place that others might envy, he did not feel very happy. He was even unwilling to mention the fact that he lived here to others.

The empty villa only makes me feel more lonely, not as good as before...

The little house where my last name was Ichinose.

"It's up to you whether you want to come in or not."

Leaving these words behind, he turned and walked into the building. Really...why would I think of the past at a time like this?

Chapter 168 Goodbye.

So... so embarrassing.

There were three people crammed into the elevator. Pochi looked up at the gradually increasing floor numbers, not knowing what to say. Luckily, he didn't have an elevator at home. If he had to squeeze into an elevator with strangers, he would have died.

When the floor number stopped at 45, Nagasaki Suyo walked out of the elevator and opened the door opposite the elevator. "Come in."

"Oh...oh, I'm interrupting you."

Sigh... I didn't expect them to follow me here. I ignored the reactions of the two people behind me and walked into the door, leaving it open. Could it be that I really wanted them to follow me, just like Xiao Mu said?

How can I be so weak...

After putting the bag in her room, she walked into the living room and found the two of them already sitting on the sofa. Mu was not the first time here, and she probably only had that same expression. But Pochi beside her was different, looking around every corner as if she was curious about everything.

"Su...Su Shi lives alone?"

Pochi asked cautiously.

"call……"

Hearing this question, Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath. Why did you ask this right away? Mom hasn't been home for a long time. She clearly said she would be back in a few days, but now she has to work overtime...

"I live with my mother."

"Then...Auntie..."

"I'm on a business trip."

I interrupted Pochi impatiently, "What would you like to drink?"

Then, looking at Mu who was sitting there without saying a word, he suddenly remembered that he had prepared her favorite mango juice in the refrigerator. However, "The mango juice you all like is out of stock."

"Eh?"

Mango juice? Did the Su family prepare mango juice beforehand? He looked at Mu beside him in confusion.

"But I've only been here once."

Mu Ye looked at Su Shi with some doubt, "Even so, have you prepared mango juice?"

"Tsk..."

That’s right, why should I say it out loud? “Then I’ll just drink black tea.”

After saying that, Nagasaki Suyo turned and walked into the kitchen, skillfully preparing black tea for them.

"Mu...when did you come here last time?"

The two of them were on the sofa, exchanging information before Su Shi came over.

"That was when Crychic ended..."

-

"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu?"

In the rehearsal room, where only the two of them were, Nagasaki Suyo called out to Mu, who was dozing off with his guitar beside her. "I was just going to get a drink, how come Mu fell asleep?"

"Um...sorry."

"No need to apologize, it's just the two of us..."

As Su Shi spoke, her tone became softer. It had been just over a week since Xiangzi left Yutian, and the band that had been so close before had fallen apart in the blink of an eye, leaving only herself and Xiaomu.

It was so fast... that I didn't even realize what was happening, and it was already like this.

"Oh yes, Xiaomu's mango juice, here."

I came to my senses and handed Mu the mango juice I had just bought, knowing that she liked it.

Mu took the mango juice, held it in his hands but didn't drink it, just lowered his head and stared blankly.

"Mu, why are you so sleepy?"

After taking a sip of the black tea in her hand, Su Shi started talking to Mu, although he was just making small talk.

"There's something going on at home."

He recalled how his father had told him before Xiangzi's accident, "Don't associate with Toyokawa Xiangzi anymore." Now, his father always went to Toyokawa's house for banquets, sometimes even bringing him along. Wakaba Mutsu also understood this a little.

"Yeah, something's up..."

The conversation was completely unsettled, so he took another sip of his tea. For some reason, today's tea was even more bitter than before. Mu was always busy at home, but he could only stare blankly at the empty living room.

"Now, let's play it again,"

Seeing Mu lowering his head in a daze, Su Shi clapped his hands and suggested, "Play the Haruhi Shadow again."

Even though it's just the two of us...

"Ah."

Mu nodded, stood up, and faced Su Shi, holding the instrument.

Without the piano, they could only start with Mu's guitar. However, there was no sheet music, not even drums, so they had to stop playing halfway through due to the clumsy performance.

The melody at the end was like noise, disturbing the thoughts of the two people.

"We can't do anything alone..."

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, and she didn't even know what she was holding on to. The band leader, lead singer, and drummer were all gone, and only the bass and guitar were left. What else could she do?

"go home."

After a long silence, Mu took a sip of mango juice and spoke.

"All right……"

Is it true that the two of them can't do anything? Nagasaki Suyo also began to give up. "At least, wait until you finish your drink."

"I want to go to Su's family."

As if he hadn't finished what he just said, Mu continued speaking.

"Eh? My house?"

This was the first time someone had asked to come to his house, regardless of whether it was previously called Ichinose or now that it had changed its name to Nagasaki. "Can I ask why?"

"Because I don't want to go home."

"Eh? Ok...okay."

There's someone at home but you don't want to go back? In the end, the two people who are together can't understand each other.

……

"Why are you looking around like that?"

Because she had just had a drink, Nagasaki Suyo didn't prepare any more tea. She just sat on the sofa and chatted, "It should be similar at Mujia."

"Just a little surprised."

After hearing Su Shi's words, Mu withdrew his gaze and continued to be in a daze.

"Mu, what do you want to do by coming to my house?"

Seeing Mu in a daze, Su Shi started to make small talk.

"do not know."

It wasn't an unexpected answer at all. "So, what's the Mu family like?"

"Depressed, bored, and unable to do anything, not even play guitar."

"Not even guitar?"

I'm surprised that Yu Mu is not allowed to play guitar even though he's so good at it. What about other things?

Some of this is hard to understand. Shouldn't family members be considerate and supportive of each other?

Then there was another long silence. After all, the two of them had met before Crychic, that is, they might have met in school. If it weren't for Xiangzi, they would never have had any intersection.

Finally, Nagasaki Suyo finally couldn't help herself and wanted to ask Mu, Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart, for some information. "Hey...Xiao Mu, Xiao Xiang, what happened?"

Hearing this, Ruo Yemu turned his head and faced Su Shi's dead eyes at a loss, "She won't come back."

"why?"

Mu's answer seemed to touch Su Shi's psychological defenses, and he raised his voice and questioned.

"It's a complicated reason."

Mu turned his head to look, then lowered his head again.

"Why can't I tell you? Xiaomu must know about it, I just want to help Xiaoxiang a little."

"That's not something I can say."

"Why! You obviously know it!"

The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Su Shi's questioning. Ruo Yemu took out his cell phone and saw that it was Xiangzi's call. Su Shi also saw the name on the phone and remained silent.

"It's time for me to leave."

Mu put his guitar on his back and walked towards the door. His phone was still vibrating, reminding him to answer the call. He turned around and glanced at Su Shi who was lying on the sofa with his head down. "Goodbye."

No response...
