Even my mood has improved a lot, and everything in front of me seems to be filtered through a light color.

But Ruoye Mu seemed to be in a bad state. Although he usually gave people a sense of alienation, Xiao Mu at least had no problem with basic etiquette. However, when someone occasionally greeted him today, he didn't even say "Hello", but just responded with a polite bow.

"Xiao Mu...are you feeling unwell?"

Xiangzi brought two glasses of water and walked over to Wakaba Mu who was doing homework at the table in the lounge and sat down next to him.

"Hmm..." Ruoye Mu's voice was as light as a silk thread that could break at any time.

Wakaba Mutsu reached out and tapped his throat.

Last night, after she parted with Xiangzi, she already felt exhausted from over-expending her courage and energy. In the evening, she talked with Xian Juanwei for a long time. Judging from her previous performance, she had overdrawn her speaking time for the entire year.

So much so that when she woke up in the morning, she would feel a slight irritating warmth in her throat, but the slight physical discomfort was nothing compared to the psychological factors.

I feel so tired... I don’t want to say a word these days except to some important people.

Xiangzi's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and the memories of yesterday evening came flooding back.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Mu, for making you worry..."

Ruoye Mu just shook his head, indicating to Xiangzi that it was okay.

Although she had an artist contract with the agency, she didn't need to come to work at all. Today she just wanted to wait for Xiangzi to get off work so that they could go and investigate the possible accommodations together.

Rather than spending time at home or anywhere else, she would rather come to the office, where there are occasional staff coming in and out and it is a bit noisy.

"Xiaozhen!...Xiaoxiang, Xiaomu!" Chuhua, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, pushed the door open and walked in, holding four cartons of milk in his hands.

Mana, who was browsing the web on her laptop, responded to Hatsuka enthusiastically as usual.

Ruoye Mu nodded to Chuhua, and Xiangzi said gently: "Good morning, Chuhua!"

Chuhua first placed a box of milk in front of Mana, and then went to the two old friends to distribute the milk.

"Um, Xiaoxiang...what we talked about yesterday..." Chuhua held his box of milk, his tone a little hesitant, but the expectation and uneasiness in his eyes were hard to conceal.

Xiangzi smiled helplessly and answered according to what she had agreed with Xiaomu yesterday: "Well... I can't get rid of Xiaomu."

Ruoye Mu lightly said "hmm" in agreement.

"Really... Xiaoxiang..." Chu Hua almost couldn't control his strength and crushed the milk carton in his hand.

"Well, Xiaomu, I can really be with you and Xiaoxiang..."

"Yeah." Ruoye Mu nodded seriously again.

But Chu Hua looked somewhat embarrassed at this time.

"But even though this request is very presumptuous, if you ask me, Xiaozhen..."

"Don't worry about me, Xiaochu. I'm fine!"

Before Chuhua could finish speaking, Mana, who was behind the laptop, waved her hand with a good look on her face.

"I'm still not used to living with others. It turns out that living alone is more suitable for me!"

The donut lady's heart was bleeding.

I clearly wanted to invite Xiaochu to live with me yesterday, but I was interrupted...

But after returning from the president's office, everything changed...

Wow, why did I have to encounter such a classic anime setting as a sweetheart falling from the sky?

Yesterday, seeing Chuhua being a little reserved but trying hard to communicate in front of Xiangzi, Mana couldn't bring herself to say "Xiao Chu, let's live together."

Especially when they talked about the arrangement of Sumimi's next song, although Xiangzi was still very immature compared to the previous director, his experience and insights already showed his professional level, which made Mana think that "there is no way to beat him".

I originally thought she was just a relative who had taken advantage of her previous relationship with the president and Chuhua to grab the position, and that the "genius girl" title was just a formality. However, after an afternoon of preliminary communication and planning, Mana only wanted to say:

How come you're really a genius?

If only that Wakaba Mutsuki, who Xiangzi introduced as her childhood sweetheart, the president, and the child star Chuhua's childhood playmate, hadn't immediately suggested, "Chuhua, come live with us too!"

In that case, if I had proposed to share the apartment earlier, Xiaochu wouldn't have regretted it if she agreed...

Why is it that the child star who has not said more than ten sentences in total can use a killer move every time he uses it?

After a night of intense ideological struggle...

Mana finally made a decision filled with reluctance and pain: now that things have come to this, I can only wish Chuhua happiness...

She had never interacted with the two new girls before. If she forced her way in, although it was possible that she would be able to integrate into the group after a while, it was more likely that Chuhua would be caught in the middle and unable to enjoy her time with Xiangzi...

Even though he and Xiangzi had a "colleague" relationship, he had no connection with the child star Wakaba Mutsu. The wish of "wanting Xiaochu to be happy" finally defeated the idea of ​​"wanting to be with Xiaochu".

Late at night, Mana, with tears streaming down her face, felt that her soul had been purified and sublimated through the decisions she made that night.

Chapter 50: Hakichu's sense of smell is 1000 times that of humans

By noon, people from the office had already left in groups of three or four.

The firm's original office building was already fully packed, and there was no space left to open up an entire floor for its own cafeteria. Xian Juanwei simply stopped bothering with this and instead gave employees breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet coupons valid for the same day at a nearby luxury hotel every day, allowing them to eat there themselves.

The meal allowance is not paid directly into bank accounts in order to prevent employees, including but not limited to Xiaoxiang in customer service, from continuing to eat cheap lunch boxes to save money.

As for reselling meal coupons for money... Xiangzi probably wouldn't do such a thing, right? The others didn't care.

In the president's office, Xianjuan Wei placed a meal ticket in a place facing the sun, and a strange sense of incongruity arose in his heart.

"That's not right. I remember when I came back from England, I wanted to quickly establish a lifelong bond with this year's band girls and then continue doing what I should do, like taking on some of their senior band girls whose bands I really liked?"

"Why do I feel like I've been doing some money-losing things these past few days?"

"Although I've been used to using the gold coin modifier whenever I need it, but honestly, don't I have any operating skills at all?"

"It's all Xiangzi's fault, isn't it?"

Genmaki Yui recalled the time when she gave a scholarship to Yukina and asked her to tell the whole school about her excellent learning experience, the big order of bread she placed for Yamabuki Saya's family, the intermittent teaming up with Shirogane Rinko to play online games and get killed by monsters... and so on. Although she didn't have much time to play in the band and was only able to appear with Genmaki Shin occasionally, she still tried her best to increase the pre-familiarity with certain specific girls.

After blaming Toyokawa Shoko for "causing the formation of Mygo and Mujica, and causing my amazingly intelligent operation to be distorted", the intercom on Genmaki Yui's desk rang.

"President, Ms. Sanjiao hopes to come to the office now to discuss something with you."

"can."

A few minutes later, Chu Hua, wearing a classic white short-sleeved shirt and a beige long skirt, walked in.

"Chuhua, aren't you going to have dinner with others at this time?" Xianjuanwei greeted.

"Sorry, I have a question... It will be hard to eat if I don't get an answer." Chu Hua stood opposite Xian Juan Wei.

"Question..." Xian Juanwei looked at Chu Hua's determined eyes and nodded, "I can't guarantee that I can give you an answer."

Chu Hua bowed slightly: "Even if Xian Juanjun doesn't answer, as long as he is willing to listen to me, it is also an answer."

Qi Lingxi stretched out his hand and said, "Ask."

"Xiao Xiang... is she having some difficulties now?"

Could it be that the intelligence Chuhua had acted at lightning speed... Xianjuanwei wanted to read something from the other party's eyes.

“How come you see?”

When asked the reason, Chu Hua's expression became a little awkward. After adjusting his mentality, he stammered and explained:

"Yesterday, when I hugged Xiaoxiang... well... uh..."

"that is……"

"The smell of Xiaoxiang's shampoo and shower gel is wrong..."

"Ah?" He said, tilting his head to show respect.

Chu Hua avoided his gaze and continued:

"Because I didn't have much savings when I first came to Tokyo, I used that brand of shampoo and shower gel for quite a while. I think it's good value for money..."

"So, yesterday I felt that the scent on Xiaoxiang, besides the natural fragrance, was very similar to the one I'm familiar with..."

No, Chuhua, are you really a big golden retriever? You have forty times more olfactory cells than humans, and your sense of smell is a thousand times more sensitive than humans?

Xian Juanwei managed to control his facial expression, but his face still turned slightly dark, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Is it really right for Xiaomu to ask her to live with Xiangzi?

"Did you smell it?" Xianjuan Wei asked in a calm voice like a verdict.

Chu Hua's expression was filled with shame and evasion. "If I don't hold my breath, as long as I'm still breathing, it's inevitable... right?"

"You smoked it?"

Chu Hua finally couldn't hold back his expression anymore and protested in shame and anger, "Mr. Xianjuan, please use words more befitting of your status!"

Xian Juanwei tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the window: "Since Xiangzi doesn't want to say it, Chuhua also knows what to do, right?"

Chu Hua's heart was pounding when he received Xian Juanwei's response, which was equivalent to a default response.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Hua's eyes became more resolute: "Mr. Xianjuan, I want to help Xiaoxiang!"

"Hmm?" He said, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chuhua changed.

Chu Hua read more indifference in his expression, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

Xian Juanwei said calmly, "With me here, Chuhua, do you think you can help Xiangzi better than me?"

"...At least, when it comes to music and accompanying Xiaoxiang, I can..."

"Then Chuhua should focus on these two aspects." Xian Juanwei interrupted Chuhua's self-narration.

Chu Hua lowered his head slightly with a look of disappointment: "Can I continue to ask Xian Juanjun questions..."

"Since I haven't seen you off yet, please do as you please."

"Xiao Xiang...did they have a conflict with the Fengchuan family and get kicked out?"

"No."

"So... is it something involving illegal or criminal activities?"

Xian Juanwei looked back and forth at Chu Hua twice.

"Mr. Xianjuan, is it inconvenient for you to answer? I just want to help Xiaoxiang in the way I can."

"Why, do you need me to assign a Michelle Armor to Chuhua to help you fight crime?"

Hearing Xian Juanwei's ambiguous words, the taut string in Chu Hua's heart was stretched to the point of breaking: "Xian Juanjun... are you in a bad mood today?"

"No." Xian Juanwei sighed, stood up from the chair, and walked to the front of Chu Hua with his hands behind his back.

Chu Hua nervously sat up, looking up at his playmate whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Chuhua, I hate this feeling of not being trusted. Do you understand?"

"I don't mean to distrust Xianjuan-kun, but I just want to do my bit for Xiaoxiang..."

"Chuhua."

"I am listening!"

"I can't say there haven't been cases where the police couldn't solve a case, but through an individual's persistent pursuit, the truth was revealed, and the law was ultimately upheld for very interesting reasons."

Xian Juanwei paused, looked into Chu Hua's unwavering eyes, and continued:

"But compared to trying so hard to find out what happened to Xiangzi and then investigating privately... you can use your time and energy to pretend you know nothing and spend it on accompanying Xiangzi and making her happy. This will help Xiangzi much more than the former."

"I admit that Neon's Metropolitan Police Department is unreliable most of the time... but that's mainly because no one is forcing them to fight tooth and nail. If you don't trust the Metropolitan Police Department, don't you trust the Genmaki family?"

"You're just a student now. Even if you have the status of an idol, you shouldn't think about taking on such a heavy responsibility as Xiangzi's life."

"We all do what our identities dictate. Even when I was a student, as the eldest son of the Genjumaki family, there were many things I could do that others couldn't."

Chu Hua smiled awkwardly:

"Then... I'll leave everything to you, Xianjuan-kun. But if there's any news about Xiaoxiang, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Oh, of course. After all, Chuhua, you are also one of Xiangzi's important friends." Xianjuan Wei nodded, and a peaceful smile that made Chuhua feel at ease appeared on his face again.

"Chuhua should start by subtly reminding Xiangzi to change to better shampoo and shower gel when they move... After all, not everyone she meets will keep things to themselves like you and I do."

After receiving an answer from Xianjuan Wei that was not completely satisfactory but still reassuring, Chuhua immediately said goodbye and thanked Xianjuan Wei again for giving her the opportunity to get closer to Xiaoxiang.

Just seven or eight minutes after Chu Hua left, Xian Juanwei's internal phone rang again.

After a while, it was Junda Mana who entered the office.

"You guys in the sumimi group really have a good understanding...you came to see me one after the other." Xianjuan Wei did not hide the fact that Chuhua had been there.
