"Ms. Wakaba, what we are showing you now are classic wedding dress styles that have been chosen by royal families or large conglomerates in various countries. If you have a favorite, please let me know and we will design a new one based on that style."

A man in black standing next to the design and tailoring team hummed softly, then said in French:

"Don't bother Miss Wakaba with the language. Speak in normal French and I'll translate."

The chief designer breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to explain to Wakaba Mutsuki the relevant background and design language that only certain professionals could explain clearly, taking each photo one by one.

Minami Mori and Takafumi Wakaba, whose schedules were postponed overnight, sat nearby, smiling as they watched their daughter being surrounded by this world-class team.

Compared to Minami Mori who really wants to go to the United States to make a living, Wakaba Takafumi, who has already reached the end of his career as a comedian, actually doesn't want to accompany her abroad to "expand her network."

Cultural barriers are not so easy to break. If Ye Longwen only wants to continue to maintain his status as a leading comedian in the world of Neon, and find a way to make money at the same time.

Although they are essentially actors, comedians are one of the types of actors with the highest social status in Japan. Ruo Ye Longwen's social status is no worse than that of some outstanding writers and entrepreneurs.

But...compared to Minami Mori, who started calling one program crew after another to cancel her schedule after Genmaki Yui left, Wakaba Takafumi, who did nothing after returning home, had his phone ringing non-stop from 10 pm until the early morning.

Without exception, it was the program crew that had already booked the schedule who came to apologize and terminate the contract.

Obviously, if he doesn't go abroad voluntarily, he will be forced to do so...

After waking up, Wakaba Longwen immediately chose to pack his luggage overnight, and together with his wife, he acted as model parents in front of his daughter to make up for the lack of parent-child affection in the previous fifteen years.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, look at this photo of the Swedish princess. Doesn't the style suit you?"

Mori Minami moved her face very close to Wakaba Mutsu and tapped a photo with her finger.

"Or this one from the Louis Vuitton president's wedding..."

Compared to Mori Minami who kept giving advice and expressing her opinions, Wakaba Mutsu just remained silent. He nodded slightly when the designer finished introducing the work in each photo, and kept the thumbs and index fingers of both hands pinching the hem of her skirt.

"Ms. Minami."

The black-clad man from the Xianjuan family raised his hand and said, "Young Master hopes to get the choice that best suits Miss Ruoye's wishes."

Mori Minami immediately waved her hands, ending her deliberate attempt to get close to Wakaba Mutsu, and carefully moved the chair away, leaving Wakaba Mutsu enough breathing space.

At the same time, a man in black took out his cell phone from the sentry post.

"Push the Western powers again and quickly schedule Wakaba Takafumi a full year of programming, including the bloggers' "Don't Laugh" challenge and comment reading... Get him and his wife on a plane within two days."

When the head designer finished introducing the last piece in the showbook, she asked, "These are the works that I personally consider to be the most representative and aesthetically pleasing. I wonder if Ms. Ruoye is more inclined to choose a particular piece now?"

Ruo Yemu's breathing was slightly disordered at this moment, not only because of his mother's unusually close attitude just now, but also because of the instinctive fear of facing the choice of his life-long event for the first time.

Xianjuan Wei lightly said to her, "I want to change a wedding dress for Xiaomu," and presented dozens of wedding dresses to the entire clothing team face to face for her to choose from. The two gave Ruoye Mu completely different feelings and pressures.

"It will be all right……"

"I don't have anything particularly interesting to me..."

The designer was silent for a few seconds, then nodded silently with an expected expression.

"Then we will proceed with the design based on the traditional style proposed by Mr. Genmaki. The draft design will be sent to Ms. Wakaba for any revisions."

"Next, we need to record all aspects of Miss Ruoye's physical data... Please choose a room, Miss Ruoye. Only a few colleagues from the tailoring team will accompany you to record it."

Ruoye Mu nodded, his legs and feet a little weak due to the psychological pressure, and he barely stood up without her help.

Although it only takes a few seconds to obtain a customer's sufficiently accurate body data with the help of technologies such as 3D scanning, many customers still prefer manual measurement and hand-made tailoring.

In the bedroom, Ruo Yemu let the grandmother who looked very professional and kind record and report all his data, including the thickness of his wrists and neck.

The numbers...are almost unchanged from what I measured last month.

Suddenly, Ruo Yemu remembered the feeling of having difficulty breathing when Su Shi suddenly hugged her after school.

Ruoye Mu fell into self-doubt for a brief moment, but quickly came to a conclusion.

"As expected...Su Shi is still too foul."

But when Ruoye Mu's eyes swept across the deliberately retro-style card that recorded his data, he could not deceive himself with his inner thoughts.

"...I don't want to be able to wear the clothes I tailored today when I turn eighteen."

…………

Tokyo, SG-Tokyu Setagaya Line, Setagaya Station.

Setagaya Ward, located in the southwest of Tokyo, is the most populous of Tokyo's 23 wards and is also recognized as a wealthy area.

At the same time, there is also a part of the area called the string-roll area.

After promising Xiaomu, "Leave the reconstruction of crychic to me," Nagasaki Suyo got on the train as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, high schools in Neon generally finish school earlier than the neighboring Nishi University, and Xianjuan Wei's appointment was to prepare dinner and snacks together, so Nagasaki Suyo was able to get off the train early even after playing an overtime game with Wakaba Mutsu.

"The next route is..."

Nagasaki Suyo opened the navigation on her mobile phone and entered the address that Genjumaki Wei sent her last night.

For Nagasaki Suyo, a homebody who basically goes back to her duplex on the 45th floor to lie down after school every day after crychic disbanded, and is too lazy to even go downstairs, even though this place is not far from her home, it is a test of her willpower and ability to act.

Once Nagasaki Suyo has a clear goal and a plan that he believes is feasible, he will often be able to unleash awe-inspiring motivation.

But if the conditions are not sufficient... then she will return to the state of going back and forth between home and school and living as a widow.

"Welcome, Sushi-san."

Nagasaki Suyo looked up in surprise when she heard the only male voice she could still clearly remember since her parents' divorce.

Xianjuan Wei was standing at the door of a cake shop, with a bicycle with a helmet tied to the handlebars next to her.

Chapter 32: One Step Away from the 1/8 Suxiang Black Hole

"Wei-san, are you waiting for me?"

There was an uncontrollable joy hidden in Nagasaki Suyo's voice - did the other party's unprecedented initiative mean that the possibility of her finding Xiaoxiang was also increasing?

"Yes, because I wanted to apologize to Su Shi-san in person as soon as possible."

Xian Juanwei's tone gradually became hesitant as he spoke, and finally he shyly tilted his head slightly to avoid meeting Su Shi's gaze:

"I'm sorry, Sushi-san, there's something urgent that I have to do personally... I promised to do something but broke my promise, so I'm causing you trouble."

It's not urgent.

On the afternoon that Xianjuan Wei decided to ambush the newspaper delivery man suspected to be Xiaoxiang, after parting with Su Shi, he directly contacted Bailu Qiansheng and asked her to help identify Ruoye Mu's mental state.

In a way, he had deliberately stood Su Shi up so that he could use the opportunity of apologizing to give her a better reason to persuade her to go on this "far trip"—it wasn't her own will, but she couldn't resist Xian Juanwei's insistence. However, when he heard Su Shi's trembling voice last night, he was still a little startled—it seemed that he still didn't know Su Shi well enough.

Unlike the last time he invited Su Shi to watch a live performance, this time Genjumaki Wei chose a teahouse serving the Setagaya luxury residential area.

Compared to the crowded live scene, the privacy of the tea room is obviously much higher. Su Shi, who has received several years of education in the Moon Forest, will not be able to tell the difference.

"I've already told classmate Wei, it's okay, I don't care." Nagasaki Suyo held the shoulder bag in both hands and gave Xianjuan Wei a gentle and comforting smile.

Obviously, he was extremely concerned last night and even almost triggered the PTSD called "fear of being abandoned", but at this moment, there was no flaw in Su Shi's perfectly disguised expression.

Not having the opportunity to witness the resentful expression on Su Shi's face when she was alone in the empty room last night, Xianjuan Wei just thought to herself, "Su Shi will probably still care, but I shouldn't think too much about it when she decided to wear the mask. Now is not the time to learn from Aine to take off the mask and launch a fatal attack."

Judging others by oneself is a human nature that is always difficult to get rid of - from Su Shi's "I believe everyone is looking forward to rebuilding crychic as much as I am" to Xian Juan Wei's "The person I have only known for a week and I don't know if I can be considered a friend left for a day. I have clearly informed him of the reason and apologized in advance. He should not trigger Su Shi's super gravity like Xiao Xiang."

In Xianjuan Wei's eyes, "I've only known her for a week, and whether I can be considered a friend is debatable", but in Su Shi's eyes, he is a suspected disloyal fan who has occupied nearly half of her free time from school to bedtime every day for a week.

In other words, the importance is roughly close to 1/8 of the bandmates when crychic just disbanded.

Xian Juanwei almost created a gravitational black hole for himself that was equivalent to "one-eighth Suxiang".

"Classmate Wei, how did you know I would pass by here and wait for me?" Su Shi exerted a little force and raised the shoulder bag in both hands a little higher.

Xian Juanwei pointed to the intersection behind Su Shi where the traffic lights were changing:

"From the subway station to the teahouse we agreed on, the first few walking routes recommended by the map navigation all pass through here."

"Although I really want to see Su Shi-san sooner, I'm not sure which subway station she'll come out of..."

So that's the reason... Is this how you're supposed to wait for me? I'm using the map navigation to compare...

The satisfaction of "being cared for" quietly grew in Su Shi's heart.

Although it is far inferior to the feeling her mother and former teammates gave her, with her mother becoming busier after taking over as president and crychic falling apart for nearly a year, this sense of satisfaction that will fade with time has gradually dried up in Su Shi's heart, so that every bit of supplement from the outside world seems particularly precious.

Should I say you are a fool or too honest... This thought just appeared in Su Shi's mind when it was suppressed by another thought - No, no, this fake fan can't be that kind of honest fool no matter how you look at it, right?

Although Su Shi's intuition told her that Genjumaki Yui, who was obviously riding a bicycle and was the heir to a chaebol family, might have other intentions and purposes, after a quick moment of thinking, she couldn't think of anything about herself that was worthy of the other party's special attention.

Is it really... just to apologize to me earlier?

All the thoughts were completed in a flash. Su Shi raised his left hand, put the knuckles of his fingers against his lips, pursed his lips and chuckled twice:

"Classmate Wei, you could have just texted me in advance to reserve a meeting place closer to the station."

"Then there will be no extra surprise effect, right? Looking at how Su Shi-san looked just now, my work was not in vain. It's a really good result." Xianjuan Wei's eyes looked particularly earnest.

Being hit in the weakness of "not being good at dealing with straight balls", Su Shi was subconsciously speechless and stunned, then looked at the locked bicycle parked in front of the door of "Yamabuki Bakery".

"Um... what should we do with Yui's bike? It doesn't seem to have a pillion seat."

"The Tsuki Mori school uniform isn't suitable for cycling, and there don't seem to be any public bicycles nearby..."

Back seat? What's the back seat?

Xian Juanwei, who had only ridden one of those old-fashioned bicycles with a pillion seat and a shopping basket a few times in his life, was stunned for a moment.

Then he observed Su Shi again. Although he concealed it well, he still had an awkward expression. Then he suddenly understood what the other person was thinking.

This is Tokyo, not Kumamoto in the countryside. You are the eldest daughter of Tsukinomori, not a technical secondary school girl. Please don’t think of “the girl on the bicycle hugging the boy’s waist and going home in the sunset” when you see a bicycle.

"Xiao Shanan! I'll leave the bike in front of your store!"

The girl in the bakery who was recycling bread that had passed its best-before date looked up, waved her hand and called out, "Don't worry, Brother Xianjuan."

Xianjuan Wei smiled at Su Shi and raised his hand to invite, "Can we walk over together, Su Shi-san?"

"Hey, okay!" Su Shi realized that he had just overthought and his voice was a little embarrassed.

After walking silently behind Xianjuan Wei for more than a hundred meters, Su Shi finally thought of a topic that was suitable for the current situation:

"Is the girl at the bakery also an acquaintance of Wei's?"

Xian Juanwei narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment:

"I wouldn't say I'm that familiar, actually... She's my sister's friend's sister..."

"It's a bit confusing, but that's the relationship. Although the taste of her family's bakery is not the best in Tokyo, they do put a lot of thought into it and are an excellent family bakery."

"My younger sister brought me a few cakes after she and her older sister made them together. They were really delicious, so I designated her bakery as the supplier of afternoon tea cakes for several nearby companies..."

"Then, a few years later, her family, which had a store in the shopping district near Hanasakigawa Academy, opened a branch here in Setagaya. The girl had grown up a bit and was finally able to help out at home, without her sister having to juggle the oven and the drum set."

Su Shi, who had been listening quietly, echoed, "Is that so...it seems like they're a very hardworking family, right?"

"very nice……"

Chapter 33: So, teach and answer questions

In the tea room's private room, Su Shi's shoulder bag was placed on a rattan rack nearby.

Although there was a faint fragrance of tea gradually wafting through the space, the scene happening in the box at this moment was quite inconsistent with the elegant artistic conception symbolized by the word "tea ceremony".

Su Shi, who was kneeling, watched with great tolerance and patience, with a smile on his face, as Xian Juan Wei was extremely unskilled in making tea - hesitating, not sure how much tea leaves to pinch, frowning in self-doubt from time to time, and even taking out his mobile phone to look at the key points written in the memo.

Xian Juanwei felt that he was now very unsure whether the smile on Su Shi's face meant that he was looking at a student, or a mother looking at her child.
