With Aiyin's reminder, the scene of Mu slapping his father in front of him and Xiangzi that day flashed through his mind, "Yes... that's right, Mu's home..."

I turned to the side and picked up my phone. Now all I had was...

-

On a rare day off, Shoko Toyokawa was cleaning her room... or what could only be called a cubicle.

The mattress is placed directly on the tatami, and in such a cheap apartment, if it is not taken out to dry frequently, it will easily have a musty smell.

And there are my own clothes. Although I only have a few pieces, they are the few things I can use to maintain my dignity.

After spending some time taking the quilt and mattress downstairs to dry, and then mopping her room, Toyokawa Shoko was just about to take a rest when she heard the voice of a man in the living room outside.

"Xiangzi...are you cleaning again? You don't have to be so diligent about this kind of thing..."

"Um……"

He sighed and walked from his room to the living room, "What? Did I wake you up?"

"Not really, it's just... I think Xiangzi, you don't need to make yourself so tired..."

"Really……"

Looking at the decadent man in front of him, Xiangzi had a lot of things in his mind but didn't know how to say them. "If you don't want me to be so tired, then clean up your own place too. At least those wine stains will easily attract bugs."

"I……"

The man was thinking of refusing, but then he thought about how much trouble he had caused Xiangzi and said, "Okay..."

"You are willing to get up,"

Toyokawa Shoko was surprised for a moment, "That's really rare."

"I……"

The man wanted to say something, but facing Xiangzi and his own daughter, in the end, he could only...

"I'm sorry, I still..."

The man seemed to become even more depressed as he spoke, "There's no way out..."

"Okay, no need to say more,"

Toyokawa Shoko interrupted the man and said, "I'm going to rest for a while. Do you still know how to clean the room?"

"Of course... I still know..."

"Oh yes, Mori Nami is back,"

With her back to the man, Toyokawa Shoko said, "I'm not here to see you, though."

"she……"

I heard a familiar name, but my memory of her was a little fuzzy, because every memory of her was associated with someone who was more important to me...

"Never mind...it's nothing."

"Yes, it is like that."

Shoko Toyokawa returned to her room and lay flat on the tatami without a mattress. She looked at the ceiling of this cheap apartment, which was left with many traces of time, and recalled the time when she slept with Pochi.

But now, Pochi has Mu by his side, so he doesn't need me...

"Buzz~"

The cell phone on the table next to her rang, interrupting Shoko Toyokawa's thoughts and her rest time.

I sat up reluctantly and picked up the phone. I thought it would be someone from the office, but I didn't expect it to be Pochi calling.

"Hello? Pochi?"

Usually, Pochi would send messages, but he called directly... Did something happen?

"Xiang...Xiangzi, Muta...Muta is gone..."

Pochi's somewhat flustered voice came, causing Xiangzi to stand up nervously. "Wait a minute, Pochi, calm down first. Mu left...what does that mean?"

"I……"

After adjusting his breathing and exchanging glances with Lenai and Aine beside him, he calmed down a lot. "Muru said she wanted to go home, and then... then she left..."

"go home?"

She remembered what Hemu had just said, that her mother had returned.

"Tsk..."

What on earth was she thinking? Even if her mother came back, she wouldn't have to...

"Did anyone come to the door this morning?"

Xiangzi thought that even if Mori Minami had her so-called adult methods, she wouldn't be able to find Pochi's house so quickly.

"Su...Su Shi did come, and then Mu left with her. How did you know, Xiangzi..."

"Su Shi? You're not talking about her..."

Why did Su Shi go to Bochi's house so early? Never mind, now is not the time to think about this. "Except her, there is no one else."

"No...shouldn't..."

I looked up at Aine. I was asleep and didn't know much, so Aine should know. "Besides Sushi, there's no one else, right?"

"Eh? No?"

"Wait a minute, Pochi, who are you talking to?"

It doesn't sound like Erli's voice?

"Eh? Ai...Aine."

"Aine? Why is Chihaya-san at your house right now?"

I always feel like I missed several chapters. What happened?

"Uh……"

"How about I talk to Xiangzi?"

Aine held out her hand to Pochi, "Pochi, calm down for a moment."

"That... that's good."

Hand the phone to Aine.

"Toyokawa-san?"

"Chihaya-san, can I ask why you're at Pochi's house?"

"Because I stayed at Pochi's house."

Aine understood Xiangzi's somewhat hostile tone, but she just stated the facts. "Oh, and there's also Rakuna-chan, Ring's stray cat. Toyokawa-san should know her."

"..."

Xiangzi frowned. With so many people... how could they fit in? But now was not the time to think about that. "Is it true that Su Shi was the only one who came to Pochi's house this morning?"

“Right…right?”

Why does Xiangzi look like someone is coming to visit him? Who could it be?

"So, Mu and Su Shi left together, is that right?"

"Correct."

"That's it, I'll go take care of Mu's problem, you take care of Pochi."

"Eh? Oh...oh..."

Of course I will take good care of Pochi.

"That……"

I was about to say something when I heard the call was hung up. "Huh? Hang up just like that?"

Chapter 352: Belated Revenge.

"You look like you don't plan on going home."

I looked back at Mu who was still following me. If I was really planning to go home, we should have parted at the last intersection.

"Um……"

He nodded mechanically, not even knowing whether he was confirming what Su Shi said or simply reacting to external stimulation. Ruo Yemu still said nothing, following Su Shi with his guitar on his back.

"Um……"

He sighed, stopped and turned around, "I don't know what happened, but something must have happened at Xiaomu's house, right?"

"..."

Seeing that the green-haired girl in front of her remained silent, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned, "Just like when I stayed at Pochi's house before, something must have happened, and you're not going to tell me yet?"

"I……"

I wanted to say something, but I never mentioned my family's affairs to anyone else, not even Pochi...

Even Pochi was caught up in the conflict between himself and his father. As for what kind of life he led in the past, both he and Pochi chose to remain silent and did not take the initiative to bring it up...

"never mind,"

Su Shi turned around and took another step forward, not intending to invest any more energy in Mu. After all, she wasn't even willing to tell me what was going on, so why should I bother trying to please her? "I thought you'd changed a bit compared to before, but now it seems I misunderstood..."

"I……"

The back of Su Shi as he left reminded Ruoye Mu of the scene in Asukayama Park where Su Shi was kneeling on the ground, and he got up in a panic without even looking at him.

just now……

I really don't want to be unable to do anything like I was back then...

"I...slapped my father and ran away from home."

"Clam?"

The difference between Hemu's image and Su Shi's was so great that it even felt like Mu was telling some new joke or some lines from a messy TV drama, causing Su Shi to burst out laughing.

But when he turned around and saw Mu with her head down, he knew that this was not a joke. The girl in front of him with her head down and silent might have really done something beyond his expectations.

"Are you... serious?"

He confirmed hesitantly, "Really about your father... I remember he was quite strict at home. You told me about that before."

"Yeah, so... I arrived at Pochi's house."

"That……"

I still have a lot of questions to ask, but I don’t know where to start, and…

"Since you don't want to go back for the time being, let's find a place to sit first. How about the coffee shop over there?"

"Um……"

……

"So... Mu is fed up with those cram schools? Don't want to live like that anymore?"

He slowly stirred the spoon in his hand while thinking about what Mu had said before.

"Maybe. I don't know..."

Holding the mango juice in front of him, with his head down, he didn't even know what he wanted. He couldn't possibly be a human being like this...

"That's really troublesome..."

He picked up the black tea, took a sip, and looked out the window of the coffee shop. Passersby were all heading in their own directions and would not even glance through the glass into the coffee shop. Just like him and Mu, they were face to face, but they both had no way of understanding each other's troubles. As a high school student, he could not think of any solution.

"So, Xiao Mu's idea is to go home, live his old life, and stop causing trouble for Pochi?"

Su Shi put down the teacup, looked at the liquid surface in the cup which was slowly returning to calm, and spoke slowly.

"Um……"

I still didn't take a sip of the mango juice in my hand. I couldn't think of any better solution, so I could only...
