But she still wanted to leave. Anyone would do, please take her away! She really didn't want to stay in this nightmare anymore, even if it was just a brief moment of peace. She just wanted to take a breath, that was enough.
With a bang, Mu saw his mother smash the cup on the table. He closed his eyes, gave up struggling, and waited for the inevitable accusation.
"you!"
"Wait, Minami!" A stern shout interrupted Minami Mori's forward movement.
Mu opened her eyes and someone suddenly held her hand. She looked at the person holding her hand. Asano Yushin was standing beside her with a determined look on his face.
"Calm down, both of you. It's gone too far. There's no point in arguing any further." His voice was not loud, but it had a magical power that could convince people.
Asano Yushin couldn't let the mother and daughter continue arguing, otherwise the situation would really get out of control, so he had to take action.
Seeing that both of their eyes were focused on him, Asano Yushin continued, "Minami, you should rest first. It's really tiring to sit on the plane for so long. I'll take Mu out for some fresh air. Leave those issues you're worried about to me. I'll take care of them properly."
Mori Minami turned her head away, her tone still sharp, and one could hear that she was still angry: "Whatever, take her away! I won't be upset just by seeing her."
Asano Yushin breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to the girl next to him, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Mu responded and let him lead her away from this place full of painful memories.
The moment Asano Yushin pushed the door open, he looked back at Mori Minami who was leaning against the wall in silence.
The other person seemed to sense something and looked up at her. Their eyes met and she gave him a look that said "I'll leave it to you".
Mu, who ran away from home, felt for the first time how free and fresh the air outside was. It didn't matter where he went, as long as he didn't have unnecessary arguments with his mother.
She turned her head to look at the boy next to her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Anywhere is fine, let's just take a walk and relax."
Asano Yushin did not let go of her hand, but kept holding it, guiding the girl's direction. The two of them followed the guidance of the evening breeze and walked along the starlight.
The two came out of the convenience store. Mu, holding a glass of cool mango juice, asked the figure in front of him, "Youxin, are you standing on my side because you think I'm right?"
Asano Yushin answered her questions while leading her away without even turning his head.
"No, I don't even know the whole story. Right or wrong isn't what I'm after. I just think Mu is a very well-behaved child, and a well-behaved child shouldn't be criticized so harshly."
"So, there must be some misunderstanding between Mu and your mother, which led to the quarrel."
Mu felt touched. She was not alone. No matter what happened, there was a boy who would always stand firmly by her side and understand her. That was enough.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed back.
"Oh, by the way, don't take your mother's words too seriously. What people say when they lose their composure doesn't really make sense. It's just that I forgot to buy a pair of extra indoor slippers, so I went downstairs and bought them. It's ridiculous to accuse her of that and try to force it into a filial piety statement. That doesn't make sense."
"Does buying a hundred pairs of spare indoor slippers in my shoe cabinet prove that I'm filial? Of course not, so there's no need to worry too much about it."
Asano Yushin knew very well that the girl must be resentful of the accusations made by her loved ones, so he deliberately found the most unreasonable angle of Mori Minami and labeled all the offensive words as "brainless angry words".
Mu hummed a low nod and felt much better. Yes, without other people stirring up trouble, the conflict wouldn't escalate. It would be over after a few words. He was used to it anyway.
Even so, it's not as simple as just saying don't take it to heart and you can let it go.
"My mother said I was spending her money from the beginning to the end. I didn't meet her expectations. It was indeed my fault."
Asano Yushin tutted his words, "What's the big deal? You're her daughter, who would she spend money on if not you? Me? It would be weird if she didn't spend money on you."
"Living with the expectations of others is actually very tiring. You have your own life and you can respond a little, but don't let it limit you for the rest of your life. Does expectation mean you have to fulfill it? My father even expected me to become the king of the underworld. He hoped that wherever I extended my dark power, protection money would flood in."
"In the end, my expectation turned out to be that a simple life is the real life. Having a good job, taking good care of my sister, and living a healthy life is enough."
He silently said to his father in his heart, "I'm sorry, Dad. I'll take the blame for this."
Mu thought about it and it sounded reasonable. She also had high expectations, but her expectations were always dashed. Apart from feeling a little sad, she didn't get too entangled.
Before they knew it, they walked onto an overpass. Under the overpass was a constant stream of cars. Whether it was day or night, there were always people living their lives at their own pace.
The two leaned against the fence on one side of the overpass, listening to the sound of vehicles speeding by below, and their minds found a moment of relaxation.
Mu looked out at the starry night sky and said abruptly, "I hate myself. I always mess up a lot of things."
Asano Yushin looked at the girl beside him. Her profile was filled with loneliness, and his heart moved slightly. Was he referring to the girl being troubled by her emotional fluctuations?
"Who can guarantee that everything they do will go perfectly? Messing up is the norm, or rather, failure is a constant part of life. That's life. All we can do is relax and have a positive attitude. Perhaps at the time, we thought it was a disaster, but in reality, once we get over it, we realize it wasn't as serious as we thought."
Mu turned around, looked him straight in the eye, and asked, "Does Yushin mess things up often?"
Asano Yushin recalled every detail of his simulation, nodded, and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. I've messed up countless times, but these failures have benefited me a lot. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not having the courage to get back up."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a strand of brown hair in his peripheral vision. He must have been mistaken.

81. When the lack of love meets the favored
Nagasaki Moyo was walking home with her guitar case on her back. The cool breeze blew her long hair, but she was not so eager to go home.
Yue Zhisen would buy musical instruments for the wind band collectively to ensure uniform maintenance and pitch of the instruments. For convenience, she bought one for herself to practice.
She was holding a bag of discounted fresh ingredients. Although her family was much wealthier than before, she still maintained the habit of not spending money recklessly.
The phone was pressed against her thigh skin through two layers of thin cloth. After some time, the characteristic vibration did not occur, which meant that her mother had not replied to her message.
I knew he wouldn't be back so soon today. Is mom busy with work again?
Nagasaki Suyo slowed down her pace. This was her habit. She didn't like to go home too quickly because if she did, she would have to face an empty house alone. It was better for her to go slower and slower. Maybe when she got home, she would see her mother who was already hungry at home.
She was not averse to the noisy car horns. Noise was a sign of human life and was always better than spending lonely nights in a silent room.
The biggest disturbance in the boring daily life was the dream that I rashly entered. After waking up, it felt like a lifetime ago and I couldn't forget it for a long time.
Later, I tried to replicate the dream conditions at that time, including the water temperature when taking a bath, my mood when I went to bed, my sleeping posture and light intensity, etc., but I still didn't have a similar dream again.
The illusory warmth is like the ripples caused by flying fish on the sea. At that time, it was just normal, but looking back, it is hard to find the old times.
With an extremely conflicted mood, Nagasaki Motoyo kindly opened the box for Asano Yuunobu, who played a key role. She got the personal information, but she didn't know how to start the contact and what was the best first step.
Tsukinomori is a girls' school, and she has never had any interaction with boys in junior high and high school, so she must be fully prepared before taking action.
Yushin Asano hasn't been doing any live broadcasts that are too close to the truth recently, and his videos haven't been updated. Has he been warned by the platform?
The girls playing the piano with masks are more cool than each other. Finally, there is a teaching blogger with top-notch modeling quality. She wants to learn, what's wrong with that!
Otherwise, how about paying more money and contacting Asano Yuuno privately to ask him out?
Nagasaki Suyo felt that this idea was not very good. It would be too awkward for the anchor and the second on the list to meet in such a capacity. It would be better to form a band according to the old plot and establish a real bond.
She walked onto the overpass with all sorts of thoughts in her mind and made a decision in her heart. The first step she would take when she got off the overpass would be to spend money to ask out Asano Yuunobu with her left foot, and not to ask out with her with her right foot, but to just contact him normally.
She was silently chanting the mantra of whether to make an appointment or not in her mind, and she caught a glimpse of a couple leaning on the railing of the overpass and talking. Her mood became a little bad, and she subconsciously quickened her pace. She thought she should go home and show off this disgusting and corny love.
Wait, why did Nagasaki Suye feel that the backs of those two people looked a little familiar, and her pace slowed down again.
The more she looked, the more familiar they looked. She stared at the two people intently. No way, the sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger. At this moment, the beating of her heart was so loud that it could even drown out the sound of the engines of the traffic under the overpass.
Nagasaki Suyo held her breath, and her movements were slow and natural. She had never been so careful before, and she was afraid that the two people would notice her.
As she passed the two men, her eyes quickly scanned their profiles.
You read that right! It's Yushin Asano and Mutsu, exactly the same ones! Exactly the same ones!
Her mood at the moment was very complicated. She was at a loss as to what to do when she ran into her secret crush, but also felt the subtle contrast of meeting the online anchor in real life.
The disobedient wind blew a few strands of her hair onto the boy's side face. Nagasaki Suyo's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Will she be discovered?
After all, the length was limited and he didn't touch the other person's cheek. He was completely immersed in chatting with Xiaomu and didn't notice her existence.
Nagasaki Suyo breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were not discovered, she decided to listen to what they were talking about. She was curious about the relationship between Xiaomu and Asano Yushin in real life.
She walked to the railing on the other side and listened to the conversation between the two of them.
"Can I still go back? Mother must be very angry, Youxin, maybe it would be better if I didn't go back."
"Not really. She's just angry. Once your mother cools down, this matter will be over. Many parents complain all day about their children being a burden, and then become unhappy when the burden stops contacting them."
Nagasaki Sushi's heart moved. Did Xiaomu have a quarrel with her mother? Based on her impression of Xiaomu, she thought she was a little dull at best. How could it have escalated to this extent?
She instinctively thought that it was Xiaomu's mother's problem, because she really couldn't imagine how a mother of such a well-behaved child like Xiaomu could be so hard-hearted as to let Xiaomu leave with a boy. What if that boy was not Asano Yushin? Wouldn't that be a disaster?
"But sometimes responding to your mother's expectations is also a way to ease the conflict between you."
"Actors? I see."
"If Mu doesn't like it, don't force it. To resolve a conflict, you don't have to go along with the other person. You can also make the other person go along with you."
"But responding to my mother's expectations is the fastest way to see results."
"That's true. It depends on what Mu really thinks. I'm just offering a way. The specific implementation doesn't necessarily mean becoming an actor."
Nagasaki Suyo could guess the general outline of the matter from their few words. Xiaomu's mother and Xiaomu had conflicting ideas and a quarrel broke out. Is that right?
She rubbed her fingertips subconsciously, as she had experienced this before.
My mother wanted to go to Tsukinomori by herself. In order not to add trouble to her broken family, she compromised and went to Tsukinomori to study. But did I really want to go to that aristocratic girls' school?
It’s great that when Xiaomu goes through something like this, Youxin is there to comfort him, communicate with him, and talk with him.
As for her, she would return to the empty and large house and live alone most of the time. She would cook by herself, enjoy dinner by herself, finish her homework, take a shower, change into pajamas and prepare to go to bed. The hot water in the bathroom would usually be wasted, and when the hot water got cold, she would not be able to wait for her mother to come home.
She also wanted to be able to open her confused heart like Xiao Mu and exchange the answers engraved on her heart with the person who loved her.
Long-lost memories flooded into her heart, whether real or false, they all possessed a unique warmth. Although she now had everything she needed materially, she felt endless emptiness and loneliness.
That's great. Nagasaki Suyo watched the confusion on Xiaomu's face being erased bit by bit by Asano Yushin with an eraser called "understanding", and envy gushed out of her heart.
The evil god pushed the gift that he thought belonged to him to the bruised and battered doll girl. Is this a trick of fate?
Asano Yushin was not aware that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation. He only knew that he had seized this rare opportunity and could truly understand what the girl Mu was thinking.
People can't open their hearts at all times. Only when their defenses are extremely broken can they vent out all the emotions that have been buried for a long time.
"I'm curious about what kind of mood Mu was in when he said that."
After chatting for such a long time, all they talked about were the family matters of Mu and Mori Minami. He felt a little unwilling that Mu didn't talk about the things he cared about most. If this continued, it would be no different from losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.
Mu hesitated. Has it finally come? This question.
She lifted the hair beside her ear, not knowing how to tell him. She moved her lips but chose to avoid the question.
Every time it was her turn to make a choice, there was always another pair of hands helping her make a choice that she didn't want, and the result was that everything was messed up.
She will not let this happen again, learning from past mistakes. If she ruins her life at a critical juncture, she might as well avoid important junctures.
Asano Yushin is her only support at the moment. If she pushes him away again, she will have nothing. She will wait for her, and wait until she solves her own problems before telling her everything.
Mu said softly, "I said it in the heat of the moment, Youxin, I didn't think that way."
After she finished speaking, she didn't dare look at the sincere boy. The weight of deception made her breathless. She would rather make excuses with lies than lose her only support. The price was too heavy and she couldn't afford the gamble.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Asano Yushin's eyes. It turned out that he was not at the point where he could know the truth yet. He could not continue to press the issue and had to stop there.
He had a hunch that even if he forced the real answer out, it would be of no use, and would instead lead to a worse situation because of the wrong timing.
"Yeah, I understand. When you're angry, you often say things that go against your heart, just to vent your anger."
"Just like when Jiashu and I had conflicts as children, I often said hurtful things. In fact, I didn't have any such intentions. I don't know why, but I said it on purpose to make her cry. If she told Mom about it, I would be in trouble."
He pretended to be nonchalant as he told the "Asano Yushin story" that he had made up casually. He had lived two lives and had never been such a bad person.
"I still don't know how to face my mother when I go back. Can I stay at Youxin's house for one night?" Mu suddenly came up with an amazing idea.
He flatly refused, "You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. You have to face it eventually. If you stay at my house, it might even intensify the conflict between you and her."
"I'm sorry, Yushin must be disappointed that I'm such a coward."
Large dark clouds blocked the bright moonlight, and the shadow covered her entire face, and she began to feel depressed again.
Asano Yushin felt tired. Escaping can be addictive. There is a saying that escaping is shameful but useful. If you escape too much, you will not be able to solve the problem. It will only allow the problem to become more and more serious.
He looked at the girl who always lowered her head and denied her: "It's not disappointment, it's sadness."
Mu suddenly raised his head. She took his hand and quickly changed her words: "Let's go back now. I was the one who said that. I won't stay overnight."
Asano Yushin took a deep breath and said, "It's not about staying with me or not, but Mu, you've been dealing with it on your own, always thinking about what you should do alone and how to resolve the conflict between you and your mother. I'm here with you, you can trust me a little more."
