You haven't even opened the engagement ring box to inspect the finished product. The jewelry store owner and clerk are amazed at your trust in them. They shake your hand and invite you to come back and buy an engagement ring. But then they think it's not appropriate and quickly change the subject to wedding rings.

[It doesn't matter what the engagement ring looks like. What you need is the item "Metis's Engagement Ring," not the engagement ring itself. This meaning is enough.]

You carefully put the ring box into your purse, next to your wedding ring.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

【Metis is looking forward to your sweet journey with her.】

[No surprises there. Just show Metis the travel guide you and Su Shi made together. She'll be surprised to find that you're actually an expert in the field of tourism and that you know all about these fun and less-visited attractions.]

[The travel schedule has been arranged, and you and Metis will set off soon.]

[Metis secretly congratulated herself on her generosity for not delisting Toyokawa Shoko as a friend, and he didn't delete her either, which gave her the opportunity to fling a love bomb at Shoko.]

[Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't bully a young girl because she's poor.]

[During the trip, she took a lot of photos with you and uploaded them to her social media feed every day, showing them to Xiangzi.]

[Metis noticed something unusual: she still kept her former bandmates' friends, and her biggest rival in love, Toyokawa Shoko, and she liked the post! She also suspected Toyokawa Shoko was a slacker, and not only was she not upset by the show of affection, she even liked it.]

She also speculated that Toyokawa Shoko might have some very dark and treacherous hobbies, and that she might even be obsessed with the loving photos of her and Asano Yushin. Oh no, was she just giving Toyokawa Shoko a lot of ammunition?

The straightforward Shiina Tatsuki also liked it, as did the usually polite Takamatsu Touma. The only one who didn't like it was Nagasaki Motoyo.

She didn't think she had offended Nagasaki Suyo, thinking it was probably Nagasaki Suyo who forgot to like the post, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Metis was also very open with her about love, wanting to get her opinion. Because Nagasaki's reputation as a love god had spread throughout Moon Forest and even to other schools, many girls regarded her as the "godfather" of love.

What puzzled her was that Nagasaki Suyo was eloquent and talkative with other girls, but showed no interest in her, giving her perfunctory and haphazard responses.

Most of the responses were: "Break up," "Break up quickly," "The only thing I can do in this situation is break up," "This kind of man is not worth it, break up," "Don't be obsessed with him, break up, improve yourself," and "To become a new independent woman, breaking up is the first step."

Perhaps because words alone aren't enough to analyze anything, Metis thoughtfully added images to accompany the text. However, unexpectedly, Nagasaki Suyo's attitude worsened.

[Could it be that my attitude wasn't sincere enough? Just as the saying goes, Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times at his cottage. Metis and Nagasaki Suyo arranged to meet at a cafe. In-person communication is the most sincere.]

After Metis gave a long speech to Nagasaki Suyo, who was drinking tea and holding a cat, the gentle Nagasaki Suyo finally exploded!

103. Every word hurts the heart

Nagasaki Suyo put down the teacup heavily with a bang, and a bone-chilling coldness flashed in her sky-blue eyes as she stared at Metis, who was attacking her face without realizing it.

"No one wants to hear how you're keeping your fiancé hanging. If you have any self-awareness, you'd better let him go!"

Her demeanor suddenly changed, from the gentle and kind mother she had been, to the nun who patiently listened to Metis's "I don't repent" to the stern judge who pronounced the death penalty.

Metis's thoughts froze. She had never seen Su Shi show such a terrifying side.

Nagasaki Suyo had been urging her to break up and listing the advantages of being single. Shouldn't she have been on her side? Why did the criticism suddenly turn against her?

Bewildered, she waved her hands to defend herself: "Hanging, not hanging, I just need some time, did Su Shi misunderstand something?"

Nagasaki Suyo made no secret of her disgust for her and said in an extremely cold tone, "How long is this time? Is there a fixed number? I don't think I've ever heard you give an exact number."

Metis didn't dare to look her in the eye and said timidly: "One year, or half a year, uh..."

Before she could determine the specific number, she was interrupted by Nagasaki Suyo.

"I just haven't thought it through at all. I just do whatever comes to my mind and do whatever feels comfortable. I'll just drag it out until I can't drag it out any longer, right? Xiao Mu."

"Also, I think you mentioned to me that you arbitrarily postponed the wedding date. Such a sacred day was tampered with by you. Isn't your fiancé a little too good-tempered?"

Nagasaki Suyo counted on her fingers and listed all the faults of Metis.

"Oh, you and your boyfriend are still engaged, and it seems like you haven't even kissed. Don't make me laugh. Does he know you are his girlfriend?"

Metis shook her head and tried to defend herself: "I mentioned kissing him, and he said he wanted to stay for the wedding."

Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together, showing an awkward but polite smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, and a drop of transparent sweat flowed down her cheek.

"Sorry, I thought it was your fiancé who wanted to kiss you and you rejected him. Turns out he rejected you."

Metis was stunned. The memory that she wanted to blur was ruthlessly dug out by the other party. She was like a sewer rat exposed to the glaring sunlight. She didn't even have the energy to think about whether Nagasaki Suye guessed it or she let it slip.

It is an indisputable fact that it was she who had been refusing, not Asano Yushin.

"Don't think that only your time is valuable, and your fiancé's time is worthless? You take other people's kindness for granted, but don't understand that patience will eventually wear out."

"Love doesn't grow out of thin air. You're willing to use a watering can to water the cucumbers at Xiangzi's house, but you're reluctant to use your actions to water the relationship between you and your fiancé."

Nagasaki Suyo blurted out the words she had been holding back for a long time in one breath, not only condemning Xiaomu, but also condemning Asano Yushin, who had previously focused all his attention on Xiaomu.

The difference between Asano Yushin and Xiaomu is that her unilateral efforts were responded to by Asano Yushin, while Asano Yushin did not get a response from Xiaomu.

After taking a sip of red tea and savoring the sweetness flowing between her lips and teeth, Nagasaki Suyo was accumulating strength for her finishing move in her mind.

Looking at Metis who was frozen by her words, she finished her tea, stood up and picked up her bag. She paused when passing by Metis, and her cold voice reached her rival's ears.

"A relationship isn't a one-sided effort. You always ask me how to fall in love. Is it possible that the biggest obstacle to your relationship isn't Xiangzi or any other girl, but yourself?"

Nagasaki Suyo no longer had any interest in talking and passed by her love rival.

Every word is heart-wrenching and hits the nail on the head. Although words are the most common knife, the damage they cause is really great.

Metis stood there in a daze, her head lowered, staring at the floor. Her mental defenses were completely shattered by the sharp words.

If there was something wrong with what Su Shi said, she would try to comfort herself by saying that the other party didn't understand, but what was most difficult for her to accept was that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Nagasaki Su Shi said, it was all true, without any deviation.

She should have thought of it earlier. It was she who turned Youxin away. She thought it was other girls, Xiaomu, and time that stood between them.

This relationship was participated in by both her and Yushin from the beginning to the end. Whether the process was sweet or sour depended entirely on them. Yushin Asano did what he should do, and it was she who was the one holding him back, not him.

Bits and pieces of memory gathered into big tears that fell to the ground, and some details that I had previously ignored became clearer in my mind.

It was always Asano Yushin who carefully protected her fragile heart, indulged her willfulness, and waited for her to mature.

Must he exhaust all his energy before we can support each other? Must he be completely disappointed before we can keep her? She asked herself.

Metis covered her head with her hands, wrapped in endless regret, until a strange female voice woke her up.

"What are you doing?"

Metis suddenly looked up, and Shiina Riki, who was wearing the cafe's uniform, was startled by her red and swollen eyes, his eyes full of astonishment.

She came to the cafe to work part-time. After changing into her work uniform, before she had made a few cups of coffee, a familiar figure walked past her.

Nagasaki Suyo? Shiina Riki almost thought he had seen it wrong, but after a few careful glances, he finally confirmed that it was the real person.

After confirming that there was nothing to recognize, after Mu left the band, Xiangzi announced that the band's rehearsals would be suspended indefinitely.

All of a sudden, the other girls who were not very familiar with each other lost contact, and only occasional updates could prove that they were still active and living their own lives.

So who was chatting with Nagasaki Motoyo? Shiina Riki, puzzled, looked in the opposite direction from where she left. A girl with light green hair was crying on the table.

She didn't know whether the two of them were arguing about quitting the band, she just wanted to ask the girl who quit the band face to face what she really thought.

At this moment, Shiina Riki lost his previous toughness, and he suppressed the criticism that was about to come out of his mouth towards his former bandmate who was crying bitterly.

Is she crying for our band? Li Xi thought so. At least it means Mu is not really leaving the band. There must be something she can't tell you.

"Hey, instead of crying, you might as well apologize sooner rather than later. Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. As long as you're sincere, I'll still forgive you."

A trace of pity flashed across Shiina Riki's amethyst eyes. She was not a cold-blooded person. Seeing Mu's tearful face, she still felt moved.

In the end, she softened her heart. She wanted to loudly ask this guy why he quit the team.

Metis was shocked. Lixi also knew about her and Youxin?

Now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters. She was right. She should save the situation before anything becomes a foregone conclusion. Sitting here and crying will not change anything.

Shiina Riki's words gave her new strength. Metis hurriedly wiped her eyes, said thank you to the black-haired girl, and left quickly.

Shiina Riki, who had closed his eyes and was waiting for Mu's apology, opened one eye slightly and looked at the messy dining table and the empty seats, unable to understand what had happened for a while.

What she wanted was an apology, not a thank you. Also, why did Mu just leave?

Shiina Riki is still struggling with whether to forgive the escaped guitarist directly or maintain his strong personality and say coldly: "I'm glad you're back."

"Lixi, the guests at your table haven't paid the bill yet, why did they leave?" A colleague at the front desk waved to her.

"what?"

In the end, Shiina Riki had to pay the bills of the two rich women out of her own pocket, which made her very angry.

Through the transparent glass, Yushin Asano outside watched the entire process of his girlfriend and fiancée arguing, which happened a day earlier than he expected.

There is no other way, we have to delay the time artificially.

He took out his cell phone, pressed a few virtual buttons, and sent a text message to Metis.

[Metis, who was rushing home to apologize and communicate with you, received a text message from you.]

"After our trip tomorrow, I'd like to discuss something with you, Xiao Mo. Before that, let's enjoy our trip happily."

【Metis replied to you: "Okay."】

You successfully delayed her confession until tomorrow.

Since ending his honeymoon with Nagasaki Suyo, Asano Yushin has been very busy, constantly running around to meet certain necessary conditions in this world.

Complete each cause one by one, just for the final result.

......

"One sheep, two sheep, my lungs are itching..."

Nagasaki Suyo suffered from insomnia as usual. She repeated the sleeping tips taught by Asano Yushin, but sure enough, it was of no use at all.

"I can't sleep, I really can't sleep, it's so annoying!"

A series of beeping sounds rang out, and she anxiously pressed the air conditioner remote control hard. The temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and she crawled into the quilt wearing only a thin pajamas.

After taking care of the cat, she lay on the bed and tried to fall into a deep sleep quickly, but she couldn't fall asleep.

The scene of the quarrel during the day was still vivid in her mind. When she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with herself mocking the master and the loser Xiao Mu who lowered her head and let her scold her.

A kind word warms you through three winter months, while an evil word hurts you through six months. It feels so good!

She was not sleepy at all. Her brain was in a very excited and active state. She had won a great victory over her rival and was still savoring the bitterness of victory.

Bitter wine, yes, this victory was a tragic victory in which we killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of our own.

The white light reflected from the phone illuminated her dark pupils, and her sky-blue eyes lost their former color.

After the pleasure, she felt a deep sense of emptiness and regret. Why did she have to have an affair with Youxin's fiancée? She questioned her impulsive self during the day.

Just smile, just smile, let this ignorant little Mu continue to run down the wrong path, why bother with her?

When Asano Yunobu's patience is exhausted and he is no longer bound, she can be with Asano Yunobu openly.

But she really couldn't help it. She had hurt her fiancé for so long, how could she have the nerve to act innocent? Who was she showing it to?

I just can't bear to see my boyfriend's kindness being endlessly wasted. Every time I get close to him, I get hurt badly by that guy who doesn't know how to cherish him.

If possible, she would like to transfer the damage suffered by Asano Yushin to herself. However, reality does not have such a beautiful option. Not only can it not be transferred, there is also a chain effect. The more damage Xiao Mu causes to Asano Yushin, the same damage will be inflicted on her.

Nagasaki Motoyo and Asano Yunobu have long been a community of shared destiny, they prosper together and suffer together.

After reviewing her attack on Xiao Mu, I found that she said it very well and the attack was very targeted. She vented out all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

The guy who ruined other people's kindness should have that kind of twisted expression of regret. If Mori Minami hadn't adopted Asano Yunobu and done him a favor, how could Xiao Mu have had the turn? I'm afraid he would have been ranked last in terms of keys.

She felt unhappy when she thought about the fact that the other party had enjoyed Asano Yushin for more than ten years. If it were her, she would probably be in danger of going to jail. Unlike Xiao Mu, who did not cherish the easy-to-get relationship and even used various methods to refuse further development of the relationship.

Beauty is only worthy of the strong, not worthy of fools. She finally realized the correctness of this sentence.

She still felt regret, annoyance, and pain. If she scolded Xiaomu and woke him up today, it would be tantamount to pushing Asano Yushin back to her love rival. What on earth was she doing?

If she had been more patient, she would have been able to enjoy the fruits of victory without having to do anything, but she got angry at Xiao Mu who was attacking her face.

Nagasaki Suyo closed her eyes with a complicated and tangled mood, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. Now, she was finally going to fall asleep.

An extremely strong sense of uneasiness rushed into her heart. Nagasaki Suyo opened her sore eyes and covered her chest. The rapid heartbeat seemed a little weak through the heavy barrier.

The room was still mostly dark, with only the lights from the thousands of houses outside shining through the window like dots of fluorescent light, just illuminating the corner where she slept.

She has never liked drawing the curtains and plunging the room into complete darkness. She prefers to let the advertising signs and apartment lights outside illuminate the room, and when she wakes up, she can enjoy the service of being woken up by the morning light.

Strangely enough, she sat up, which was rare for her, and picked up the phone on the bedside table. She tapped the screen, and the whole room instantly changed from night to day.

Nagasaki Suyo sat quietly on the bed. The quiet room isolated her from the noise of the outside world. The strong uneasiness rising in her heart seemed to be reminding herself, but what was she reminding herself of?

Her intuition told her that something bad was about to happen...
