Interrupting the performance is not only disrespectful to the audience, but also an insult to your own guitar skills.

Once the show begins, it must end perfectly! There's no reason to stop!

finally.

Rin Shimizu maintained her peak level and played two original songs, which was worthy of her guitar skills.

After half an hour.

Lin hurriedly ended the street performance, bowed and thanked him, then she put away her Santa.

During the performance, Lin's guitar skills did not disappoint the audience, and she adhered to her professional ethics as a guitarist.

She tried her best in every song to create the best listening experience.

Lin looked around. Some of the audience members had satisfied expressions, while others were still not satisfied, but overall they were satisfied and appreciative of her performance.

Of course, there are also rewards in the guitar case, which are enough for her to replenish her nutrition.

Although it is a pity, let's end it here.

He could obviously make more money, but after seeing the dazed girl, Rin gave up the idea of ​​continuing the performance and walked straight towards her.

After all, she was the one who brought the person here.

Initially, Lin wanted to find a companion to relax and earn some living expenses, but she didn't expect Xiangzi to be distracted...

After leaving her comfortable life, you're feeling unwell, the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family...

Lin sighed softly, walked slowly to Xiangzi, squatted down and quickly put away the banknotes in the guitar case one by one.

"How long are you going to stand here? If you think it's enough, go home. It's getting late."

After saying that, Qing Shui Lin took out three larger denomination banknotes from the audience's tips and quickly stuffed them into Xiangzi's pocket while he wasn't paying attention.

When Toyokawa Shoko was awakened by Rin's sudden action, she was about to push him away when she realized it was too late to stop him.

Shimizu Rin's hand speed is even faster than some advanced magicians. Although her strength is pitifully small, her hand speed is among the best.

"Rin, I can't have it."

This time, Xiangzi's tone was a little more resolute than before at the convenience store door, and his expression was serious. It was obvious that he really didn't want to accept the money.

I clearly didn't do anything...

How can you take your friend's money so easily?

Besides, isn't this...

"This isn't charity, Toyokawa Shoko."

Qing Shuilin reached out and held Xiangzi's hand, stopping him from taking the banknotes out of his pocket. She shook her head slightly and emphasized:

"This is the reward Xiangzi gave me for watching over my guitar case. It's not charity, nor is it some so-called help from a friend."

Good guess.

This was Qing Shuilin's first impression of Xiangzi at this moment.

Xiangzi thought that the money was his charity, but her remaining self-esteem made her resist instinctively, feeling that accepting the money would be an insult to her dignity.

When the girl was down and out, she was unwilling to even seek help from her wealthy friends, unwilling to accept charity from her friends, and did not want to let them know her true situation and miserable plight. This was enough to reveal her so-called self-esteem and hidden awkwardness.

Not to mention that today Lin actually blatantly "slapped" money in her face.

Furthermore, Rin knows Xiangzi's motives, so any of his actions can be traced, unless an external deus ex machina completely destroys his brain.

"Wadasi..." Shoko Toyokawa hesitated to speak.

Qing Shuilin quickly interrupted the spell:

"Stop, stop, stop! Please don't imitate Su Shi. It makes my head hurt... I give it to you, so you just accept it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Just think of it as me saving some meal money with you. That's all right, right? From now on, when I ask you out for dinner, you have to come out. Do you understand?"

Rin couldn't even directly ask to borrow it.

Otherwise, Xiangzi would probably still refuse, and who knows how long this tug-of-war would last.

In order to complete the psychological treatment as soon as possible, Shimizu Rin decided to use a more euphemistic way of saying it and let Xiangzi accept the money as soon as possible to prevent her from starving to death on the street in the future.

"But I can't..."

Xiangzi didn't want to accept the money.

But she had no idea how to deal with Lin, so the words of rejection were useless.

Before I could even finish a sentence, Rin had already typed out three complete sentences...

How could she possibly win over Rin?!

"No buts. Whether you come or not, it doesn't matter to me. I won't go hungry just because you're not here. This little money won't cover many meals anyway."

"But at least try to be more relaxed next time we meet..."

"I'm leaving first, goodbye."

Qing Shui Lin turned and left without giving Xiangzi any chance to stay, leaving behind only a pure white back.

Xiangzi was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

The girl held her hotly beating heart tightly, and her gradually cold face now showed a moving expression.

Lame excuse...

55. Rin is the one who can be my ()!

The cold moon hung high above her head. Toyokawa Shoko was walking alone on the path home, and a long black shadow was hanging under the street light.

The body that was once surrounded by loneliness and coldness is now immersed in an illusory warmth.

The girl gently covered the bulge in her pocket through her clothes. Inside were three ordinary wrinkled banknotes, which at this moment were like a fire warming the girl's tired body.

Unconsciously, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xiangzi's mouth, his steps were no longer heavy, and the melancholy between his brows was significantly diluted.

Glancing down at the plastic bag in her hand, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly felt that the discounted bento was becoming increasingly boring.

It has no nutritional value and is a completely artificial synthetic product.

In the past, every time Xiangzi got a discounted bento at a convenience store, he would be briefly happy for a minute or two because it was enough to satisfy his hunger and fill his stomach.

But after having dinner with Rin today and listening to Rin's guitar, Xiangzi's expectations for the future quietly increased.

Even someone like me who has fallen... can have a bright future...

But the good times didn’t last long.

Before Shoko Toyokawa could start her fantasy, she came to her senses and found herself at the "Toyokawa" house, a dilapidated one-story rental house.

This is her current residence.

In this small room, she, who is still in junior high school, and her self-depraved drunkard father live at the bottom of modern society.

The only set of clothes she was wearing had been washed countless times. The originally exquisite dress had already developed many wrinkles and became dull and gray due to her inexperienced scrubbing.

"Click."

Shoko Toyokawa instantly put away the smile on her face. She picked up the plastic bag containing the discounted lunch box, took out the key from her pocket, and gently opened the door.

"I am back."

No one responded, just as the girl expected.

The cold, damp, foul smell of wooden furniture and the strong stench of alcohol mixed together and hit Xiangzi in the face, forcing him to take a few steps back.

It's disgusting, but the reality is, this is where she, Shoko Toyokawa, lives.

The girl quickly walked to the only window in the room and opened it quickly to allow air to circulate in the room, trying to alleviate the strange smell.

Shoko Toyokawa silently looked around at the dim and gloomy environment. Her hand holding the plastic bag unconsciously clenched, leaving a faint red mark.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a place where happiness would breed.

exile.

Xiangzi would think this way from time to time. Although she had tried to improve herself and tried to accept this harsh environment, her remaining rationality was unwilling to give up.

She couldn't stay here forever.

"..."

Xiangzi silently put down the discounted lunch box and walked towards the bedroom inside the room. But before she reached the bedroom door, her gloomy eyes caught sight of the empty beer bottles piled up by the threshold.

Still so.

The girl was about to sigh and opened her mouth slightly, but found that she could not make any sound.

At this moment, she couldn't even sigh. The weight of life made the girl shut her mouth completely.

Xiangzi opened the half-open door, and a stronger smell of alcohol rushed out of the bedroom. The unbearable stench made Xiangzi pinch his nose subconsciously.

I can't breathe at all.

The drunk man lay silently on the ground, with a strong sense of dejection emanating from his body, and he looked hopeless.

A social scum, but the responsibility a man needs to bear is to be the backbone of a family...

The piles of empty wine bottles around him mocked the man's incompetence. The dark room was filled with death, and lying on the ground seemed to be just a corpse.

The drunk man didn't even notice that his own daughter had returned. He was immersed in selfishness like a piece of mud and took the initiative to cut off his expectations for the future.

"..."

A few seconds later.

The silent Xiangzi closed the door gently. She also took away the wine bottles piled up at the door, packed them into a garbage bag, and placed them in the corner of the room.

He returned to his small wooden table and put down the plastic bag.

The girl turned on the desk lamp to get the dim light. In the dim light, her eyes were filled with confusion and pain.

Gradually, my thoughts drifted away.

"Zizi..."

Suddenly, a slight sound of electricity came from inside the old desk lamp.

The next second, the light from the desk lamp disappeared instantly, and the room became dark and gloomy again.

The fading light awakened the confused Xiangzi. She subconsciously took out her cell phone and began to read the messages.

"The electricity bill...seems not to have been paid."

When I clicked on the electricity bill, it showed that I owed a considerable amount of money.

The bright red numbers were particularly glaring in the girl's eyes.

The blue-haired girl frowned, pursed her lips, and a feeling of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of her heart.

My salary as a customer service representative will be paid after a week...

Now, I have almost no money left in my pocket. How should I live in this week?

Do you eat grass? But I don't have the digestive capacity?

If you accidentally eat something bad, your body will be completely ruined. You won’t be able to work, do housework, or even have to pay for medicine.

She has no right to make herself sick...

"wrong!"

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly raised her head and quickly took out the three banknotes that Rin gave her from her pocket.

5000 yen, 5000 yen, 1000 yen.

The total amount is 11000 yen.

It was enough to pay off the current electricity bill and get me through the next week.

But......

"Just think of it as me saving some money for meals with you. That's all right, right? From now on, when I ask you out for dinner, you have to come out. Do you understand?"

This money is for future food for me and Lin, and I absolutely cannot spend it now because of difficulties!

This is not just my money!
