Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

She could sense that what she was about to say carried great weight for the man in front of her.

"So I kept it from her and secretly found an opportunity to meet with Mr. Qinggao."

Banami's gaze drifted to the window, as if she saw the past. "I told him about Xiangzi's recent situation, saying that she was doing relatively well now and there was no need to worry too much. It was during that meeting that I truly understood this nominal father-in-law and the darkness hidden behind the Toyokawa family's glamorous facade."

At this point, he took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden. "Back then, Mr. Qinggao and Miss Ruihui, Xiangzi's mother, actually faced a similar situation to Xiangzi and me—they were not well-matched in terms of social status and were also opposed by their families."

In the end, however, Mr. Kiyoko chose to compromise and became a son-in-law of the Toyokawa family.

"But he never expected that this compromise would be the beginning of a nightmare. Xiangzi's grandfather, Toyokawa Sadaharu, the head of the Toyokawa family, forced Mr. Kiyoko to do many things against his conscience under the guise of Miss Mizuho and the Toyokawa family. Mr. Kiyoko was forced to participate and witnessed the darkness of the Toyokawa family firsthand."

Ai Yin's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with surprise.

"If it were just that, it would be fine. Perhaps Mr. Kiyoshi could grit his teeth and bear it. However, Toyokawa Sadaharu turned the tables and used Mr. Kiyoshi to control Miss Mizuho."

This is also why Toyokawa Sadaharu agreed to Kiyoko's marriage into the family. According to Kiyoko, the former Miss Mizuho was a particularly brave girl with a rebellious spirit and a sense of justice. She couldn't help but stand up when she saw injustice.

But ever since Mr. Seigaku became a member of the Toyokawa family, she had no choice but to bow her head to her father, turn a blind eye to those dirty things, and remain silent and compromise time and time again.

Ultimately, this led to Miss Mizuho's untimely death from depression at a young age.

Mr. Seikaku said that his biggest regret in life was becoming his lover's weakness. Because of his existence, Miss Mizuho lost her original self and ultimately met her demise.

At this point, Banami paused for a moment, then said, "But I know that Shoko's greatest wish is for Father to return to the Toyokawa family..."

Aine listened quietly, looking at the sorrow in the man's eyes, feeling a tightness in her chest. She suddenly understood the real reason for Banami and Shoko's divorce.

Ai Yin originally thought that the way to love someone was to be with them.

Unexpectedly, taking the initiative to leave the other person is also a form of love.

This deeply shocked her.

"So, you don't want to become Miss Xiangzi's weakness, right?" Ai Yin's voice was soft, but it was filled with unwavering certainty. "You're afraid that you'll become a bargaining chip to control Miss Xiangzi, just like Mr. Qinggao. You're afraid that she'll become someone else for you, and that she'll repeat Miss Ruihui's mistakes."

Banami's eyes instantly became unfocused. He shook his head with a bitter smile: "Perhaps... or perhaps I'm just simply cowardly. I don't want to become a puppet imprisoned like Mr. Seigo, unable to support Xiangzi, so I backed down."

"No! That's not it!" Aine suddenly reached out and grabbed Hanami's hand tightly. "Hanami-kun, you just don't want your wife to suffer."

Even though he knew the other person was trying to comfort him, he still felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing those words.

Then, he saw the resolute look in the pink-haired girl's eyes, and it reminded him of the pitiful Xiangzi he had first met. Her eyes had a similar determination that deeply attracted him...

"Ah, sorry." Aine awkwardly let go of the other person's hand.

Banami shook her head slightly and said, "Thank you, Chihaya-san, but unfortunately, I don't have any money to buy you a drink."

"You lost all the money you made today, didn't you?"

She couldn't help but laugh, her clear laughter like a wind chime, breaking the heavy atmosphere from before.

Banami shrugged, a gesture that made Aine laugh even harder.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ai Yin patted her flat chest gently and said generously, "Although I look like this, I'm actually quite rich. This dinner is on me tonight, after all, I have to thank you for saving me earlier."

Aine knew that if Banami hadn't intervened, she would have been in danger.

But the overwhelming emotions from being dumped by Su Shi made her feel utterly hopeless, and she almost did something foolish.

Perhaps it was their similar painful experiences that brought them closer together.

Time passed slowly, the sky outside the window grew darker and darker, and the number of customers in the bar dwindled until only their table remained.

The two drank a lot and talked a lot, mostly about trivial matters, but they were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot most of it as soon as they turned their heads.

"Hey...Hanami-kun..." Aine's eyes grew increasingly unfocused, and her words began to sway. Leaning on the bar, she asked indistinctly, "Do you... still love your wife very much now?"

After finishing the last bottle of beer, Banami ran her fingers along the rim of the bottle and finally whispered, "Forever."

Even though they were divorced and could not be together, he still loved her, forever and deeply.

"I see..." Ai-yin's tone was a little strange, it was hard to tell whether it was admiration, envy, or relief.

She was about to say something when her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the bar with a "thud," completely still.

It took Banami a moment to react before she reached out and nudged her shoulder: "Chihaya-san? Chihaya Aine?" When she didn't respond, she couldn't help but gently pat her cheek. "Hey, don't fall asleep yet. Tell me where you live? I'll take you home."

"Su-Shi... Su-Shi..." Aine murmured incoherently, tears streaming down her face, soaking the table. "You must be happy... Waaaaah... Su-Shi... be happy... joyful... Waaaaah..."

Well, he's completely out of his mind.

Banai rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He had lost his composure tonight because of the conversation about Xiangzi.

In the end, with no other choice, Banami took out his wallet from Aine's pocket and paid the bill. He really had no money left, and he also confirmed that this girl was indeed a rich person.

After putting the wallet back, he wanted to help her leave, but she was already fast asleep, so he had no choice but to carry her away on his back.

He obviously didn't have the money for a taxi, but luckily, his new place wasn't far from here.

Although it might seem like he was about to do something bad, he knew he had no intention or feeling about doing anything wrong.

Amidst the bright lights and neon car headlights, Banami carried the girl, who had become very heavy, step by step.

It reminded him of how he used to carry the girl he loved so deeply on his back.

"Waaaaah, how embarrassing! I'm so hungry I can't even walk."

"Hanami-kun, I'm sorry, but thank you for treating me to sesame cakes today."

"When I earn money from my job, I will pay you back, no, I will pay you back five times, ten times."

"Haha, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a rich heiress."

"If you don't believe me, then don't believe me, but thank you anyway."

……

……

……

"Hanami, I like you."

Chapter Thirteen: Heartbroken People Shouldn't Listen to Slow Songs

"vomit--"

The sound of violent vomiting shattered the tranquility of the rented room, and the sour smell of alcohol instantly filled the air.

Have you ever met a pink-haired beauty who made you vomit the moment you met her?

Now, I've encountered this.

Fortunately, at least Chihaya Aine only felt nauseous after arriving at the room that Hanami had just rented.

Banami helped the girl to the restroom, and the smell was absolutely awful.

The ambiguous atmosphere that never existed was completely destroyed by this bout of vomiting, leaving only a disheveled and helpless feeling, which made him both laugh and cry.

After Aine finished vomiting, Banami went to brew some hangover tea, something she had learned from Shoko.

In the past, whenever he came home drunk, Xiangzi would make him tea like this.

He pursed his lips slightly; it was just a trivial matter, but it reminded him of that girl.

After all, their relationship used to be deeper than just spirit and flesh, like flesh within flesh, but now it's like cutting half of Banami's body off.

Perhaps the same applies to that girl.

As Banai thought this, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

After brewing the hangover tea, he poured it into a clean cup and let it cool to lukewarm before taking it out. Just as he reached the living room, he was suddenly embraced by a warm body.

"Waaah... Suze... don't leave me..." Aine's voice was thick with nasal congestion as she sobbed incoherently, tears soaking the hem of Hanami's clothes. "If you're willing to stay, I'll do anything... I can cook, do laundry, clean... I'll never cling to you again..."

Banami stood frozen in place, the sadness that had just welled up in her heart instantly shattered by the sudden embrace and sobbing before her.

He sighed helplessly, patted Ai Yin on the back, and comforted her, saying, "Alright, alright, don't leave. Drink the hangover tea first, it'll make you feel better."

Perhaps it was because his voice was gentle enough, or perhaps she mistook him for someone else, but Ai-yin actually listened to him, let go of the hug, raised her tear-streaked face, obediently took the cup, and gulped down the hangover tea in a few mouthfuls.

This saved Banai a lot of trouble.

He placed the empty cup on the table, helped Aiyin to the sofa, let her lie down, and then took a clean blanket from the wardrobe and gently covered her with it.

Aiyin closed her eyes, her brows gradually relaxed, her breathing became steady, and soon she began to snore softly. Her sleeping face was completely unguarded, with a touch of innocent cuteness.

Looking at her sleeping face, Banai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason, another similar sleeping face came to mind.

Banami pursed her lips slightly, turned around, walked to the corner of the wall, and picked up the old guitar.

This was the only "property" he took from his former rented apartment after his divorce.

He left the cash, bankbooks, and all the things he and Xiangzi bought together there.

He knew that Xiangzi would soon return to the Fengchuan family, become a high-class young lady, and never lack money again.

He also knew that all the money he had saved by scrimping and saving, all the savings they had accumulated together, might not even be worth as much as a single piece of clothing she was wearing.

This is nothing more than his self-comfort and his self-righteous attempt at atonement.

He picked up his guitar and went to the balcony. He opened the window, and a cool evening breeze blew in, dispelling the lingering smell of alcohol in the room. Looking up, the night sky was filled with countless stars, twinkling, bright and gentle, just like the nights he and Xiangzi had spent watching the stars on the balcony of their rented apartment when they first got together.

Banami plucked the guitar strings, and the clear, melodious sound flowed gently through the night sky.

This was his and Xiangzi's only "entertainment activity." In the past, when he came back from work tired, he would hold his guitar and play a few simple tunes, and Xiangzi would sit next to him, leaning on his shoulder and listening, occasionally humming along softly.

Those were probably tough times, but the two of them didn't think so.

Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't notice that the girl, who should have been fast asleep on the living room sofa, had quietly opened her eyes.

Ai Yin didn't get up; she just lay there quietly, looking through the gap between the balcony and the living room at the lonely figure standing under the starry sky.

The sorrowful guitar music brushed against her heart like a feather, leaving her momentarily mesmerized.

***

Under the same starry sky, Su Shi returned home. She took out her key, inserted it into the lock, turned it, and with a click, the door opened.

Instead of the usual cheerful and energetic "Welcome back, Soyorin!", she was greeted by complete darkness and silence. The room was dark, with only the moonlight filtering through the curtains, casting faint shadows.

Su Shi stood at the door, stunned for a long time before she reacted. In the past, every time she came back, Ai Yin would turn on the lights in advance and prepare the meal for her. No matter how late she came back, there would always be a warm light left on in the living room.

At that time, she always felt that Ai Yin's enthusiasm was a bit annoying and that her greetings were too noisy.

But now, she felt an emptiness in her heart, a wave of indescribable loneliness washing over her.

Is this because of the guilt she feels for letting Aine down? Su Shi doesn't know; she just feels a jumble of emotions and a strange sense of panic.

She has already 'broken up' with Aine, and no matter how she feels now, that won't change.

Su Shi shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake off all the emotions she shouldn't have.

This is just a little bit of adjustment to the change in my life; I'll be fine in a few days.

she thought.

She tried to reassure herself, walked to the living room, and fumbled to turn on the light. The warm yellow light instantly illuminated the entire room, including the TV wall directly opposite the sofa.

On the TV wall hangs a simple line drawing framed in a silly, comical way. It depicts two chibi-style figures: a pink-haired figure holding a steaming bowl of food, and a black-haired figure sitting at a table with a slight smile. Below the drawing, in colored markers, are a line of crookedly written words: "Eat well!"

At the time, she thought the painting was too childish and wanted to put it away, but Aiyin insisted on hanging it in the most conspicuous place. She couldn't persuade Aiyin otherwise, so she had to give in, and over time, she got used to the existence of the painting.

She stared blankly at it, and after a while, she suddenly woke up, then took the simple drawing off the wall and covered it on the table.

Over the past four years, this room has been filled with too many traces of Aine's life, making it hard for her not to think of her.

Su Shi seemed a little flustered as she opened her phone, found Xiangzi's LINE account, and sent him a text message.

"SAKI-chan, how are you doing? Are you settling back into the Toyokawa family home?"

After sending the text message to the other party, Su Shicai felt somewhat relieved.

But a minute, two or three minutes, a quarter of an hour passed, and Xiangzi still did not reply.

"Um, Saki-chan, are you asleep?" Su Shi couldn't help but send another message to the other person.

However, there was still no response even after the neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows came on.

Su Shi said somewhat dejectedly, "SAKI-chan, she must be asleep. After all, she just returned to the Toyokawa family, and there must be a lot of things to do."

Su Shi inexplicably recalled the days when SAKI-chan left Ku Lai Xi Ku, and it was the same way—she didn't reply to her text messages.

Then...then...Chihaya Aine kept texting her, which annoyed her a bit, but...because Shoko didn't text her, she couldn't help but reply to Aine's text.

Their relationship began from there.

Su Shi paused for a moment, looking at the screen in front of her, and... Xiangzi's LINE profile picture, with the nickname "Stupid Anong".
