"Is there anything you'd like to drink, Little Lamp?"
"Want some? The same as Su Shi's will do."
"it is good."
Having received a reply, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly turned around, entered the kitchen, and began to prepare black tea.
After preparing the tea, Nagasaki Motoyo came out of the kitchen and walked to the sofa in the center of the living room. She placed the tea for the two of them in their respective places and then sat down opposite Takamatsu Todoroki.
"So, what did Xiaodeng come to see me about today?"
of? "
Although she was fully aware of Takamatsu Akari's purpose for coming, Nagasaki Motoyo knew that there was absolutely no possibility for her to return to the band.
"Xiao Mu, you and I are both very worried about you."
"Huh? Xiao Mu?"
Nagasaki Motoyo's pupils contracted, revealing an expression of disbelief. How could Kodou have mentioned Mutsu in front of her?
“I originally went to the school to find Su Shi, but Xiao Mu told me that Su Shi hadn’t been to school all day. Then, Xiao Mu gave me Su Shi’s home address.”
Takamatsu Akari's eyes were filled with a mix of emotions as she recounted in detail how she had just encountered Wakaba Mutsu at the entrance of Tsukinomori School.
If she hadn't met Wakaba Mutsu, she probably would have returned empty-handed and defeated today!
"is it?"
Nagasaki Motoyo looked away, a subtle, complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Even after being rejected like that yesterday, is Xiao Mu still worried about her? What exactly does this mean?
However, putting aside Xiao Mu's matter for now, she needs to deal with Gao Songdeng's visit first.
"Little Lamp, it's amazing you still came to see me. Didn't I already make things clear yesterday?"
Nagasaki Motoyo picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip. Her lake-blue pupils were as calm and still as the surface of the tea.
"I've made it clear, but even so, I'm going to stick with Su Shi in a band for life."
"This is something we all agreed on!"
Once a promise is made, it cannot be broken. Whether it's herself or the other members of the band, they must abide by this promise for life!
"That's why I told you, Little Lamp, I was just lying to you."
“Everything I said after we met again was a lie.” Nagasaki Motoyo put down her black tea.
"It's just that you and Aine are too naive, believing my words so easily."
"No, that's not true, Su Shi is lying!"
"I'm telling the truth."
Seeing the little penguin in front of her looking like it was about to cry, Nagasaki Motoyo felt a pang of guilt, but her reason told her to keep talking.
She had thought that Lixi would come looking for her, and Aiyin would come looking for her, but she never thought that Xiaodeng would come looking for her. She had to make Xiaodeng give up completely!
"Why would a band like that come to me? Don't you already have the future in your hands, Little Lamp?"
"According to the future you described, I am the culprit who broke up the band, and in fact, that's exactly what I did."
"Everything I do is for crychic. If nobody is thinking about crychic, then there's no need for me to stay in the band, right?"
Nagasaki Motoyo spoke slowly and deliberately, her indifferent tone constantly pricking Takamatsu Akari's nerves.
"No, that's not how it is, Su Shi, don't say that, it's not like that at all!"
Su Shifen is clearly lying! Every single word he says is!
"If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. I'm sorry about what happened to the band, Xiaodeng."
"So please don't contact me again. It's impossible for me to go back to the band."
Nagasaki Motoyo sighed. She could point out Aine's vanity and denounce Riki's selfishness, but she couldn't do anything with Kodama. The only thing she could do was to be as honest as possible with her.
After all, Xiaodeng really just wanted to form a band.
And Xiaodeng and the others only lacked a bassist, which was completely different from Crychic's situation at the time.
As long as Xiaodeng is there, the band will not break up; all that's needed is to find someone to replace her.
“I heard that Lixi has a really good bassist friend, Xiaodeng. Go find her and replace me in the band.”
"It's better for everyone without me."
Nagasaki Motoyo laughed and laughed until she revealed a relieved smile.
Is this the last thing she could do for the band she felt guilty towards?
Volume 2 continues my go!: Chapter 101 Even if we argue, I'll still sleep with Su Shi!
Which is more terrifying: acting impulsively or being cold-hearted?
At this moment, Gao Songdeng's inner answer leaned more towards the latter, because Su Shi's extremely calm expression made her heart skip a beat.
"Without Su Shi, how could things be good for everyone?"
Gao Songdeng's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck hard by an invisible force. Su Shi's words truly saddened her!
“You know what? Little Lamp, ever since I joined the band I’ve had a strange feeling, and now I can finally describe what that feeling is.”
That feeling is called non-acceptance.
Nagasaki Motoyo raised her bright eyes and calmly gazed at Takamatsu Akari.
She can finally summarize her feelings over the past few weeks.
“From beginning to end, I’ve always been the fourth person outside of the three of you, right, Xiaodeng?”
"A fourth party? I... I never thought that Su Shi was as important as everyone else."
Gao Songdeng hurriedly tried to explain, completely misunderstanding Su Shi's words.
Now that the band members have come this far, none of them can live without the others!
"They're equally important..."
Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head, a smile appearing on her lips. She didn't immediately refute Takamatsu Akari's words, but instead kept touching her fingers.
If the band really is as Xiaodeng says, that she is just as important as Lixi and Aine, then why is she always excluded from the trio?
Being scrutinized by Li Xi's stern gaze, and inexplicably alienated by Ai Yin, in this band...
She was never truly happy.
Compared to the wonderful Crychic, this band, which didn't even have a name, was just a child's play for Xiaodeng. After receiving such treatment, Nagasaki Motoyo naturally didn't invest much emotion in this band.
Will Xiaodeng, who is well protected by Aine and Lixi, understand her pain and sadness?
The answer is obvious, of course.
"As expected, Xiaodeng and I still can't understand each other."
Motoyo Nagasaki shook her head, arriving at her final conclusion.
Having finished her conversation with Xiaodeng, she had nothing more to say and it was time to take Xiaodeng home.
Slowly and gracefully rising from the sofa, Nagasaki Motoyo issued a gentle yet cold order to leave.
"Xiaodeng, it's getting late, you should go home."
"No, don't send me away, Su Shi."
Takamatsu's eyes instantly turned red, as if shrouded in a thin veil of mist, her once bright eyes now filled with panic and helplessness.
If Su Shi really sends her away now, she will never be able to win Su Shi back.
A vow made for a lifetime will vanish into thin air like a dream.
"I didn't kick you out, Xiaodeng, it's just the way things are, and some things won't change no matter how many times you say them..."
Just do your best, and keep conveying your inner thoughts. This statement seems very uplifting and positive, but in the face of reality, it always feels weak and powerless.
Xiao Xiang did not return because of her loss of composure and sincerity... and what she is doing now seems no different from Xiangzi's.
She is now placed in the position of Xiangzi in the past, and Xiaodeng is her in the past.
Questioning Xiangzi, understanding Xiangzi, becoming Xiangzi? What does that even mean?
Bitterness, helplessness, and despair surged like a tidal wave, completely engulfing Nagasaki Motoyo. Now, she too was destined to become the executioner and culprit who destroyed the band.
"Su Shi, why are you so calm? Why aren't you angry with me? I know you must be very sad!"
"I will help Su Shi with anything I can do!"
Gao Songdeng stood helplessly in front of the sofa, clear tears streaming from her eyes. This sentence was the last bit of stubbornness she could muster. But would Su Shi accept her feelings?
"Little lamp..."
Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't bear it and immediately turned her gaze away. She couldn't remain indifferent to the sight of Takamatsu Akari weeping like that.
"Fine, Xiaodeng, if you want to stay at my house, then stay. I won't kick you out."
"But I won't grant your request either, so if possible, please leave tomorrow, Xiaodeng."
"Don't associate with me anymore."
Every word Nagasaki Motoyo uttered reminded her of every word Toyokawa Shoko had said to her before, and these boomerangs ultimately ended up hitting the most innocent person, Kodama.
"I really am a liar and an extremely selfish person."
Despite knowing that doing so was wrong and would further traumatize Takamatsu's heart, the cry of reason ultimately failed to overcome the beast called emotion.
She is beyond saving.
"..."
"..."
After those words were spoken, an unusual silence fell between the two of them.
Nagasaki Motoyo didn't say anything more, but turned around and began preparing the bedroom that Takamatsu Akari had left for the night. Takamatsu Akari remained motionless, looking dejected, until another doorbell rang at the front door.
"Su Shi, I'm back! Hey, what brings us guests today?"
"Mom, why are you back so early today? Weren't you away on a business trip?"
Nagasaki Motoyo quickly walked out of the guest room, her face showing surprise and panic.
Why did Mom suddenly come back today?!
"The company leaders said I've been working too hard, so they've given me an early vacation this time. How about that? Surprised? Unexpected, right, Su Shi?!"
"It was truly a pleasant surprise and an unexpected turn of events..."
Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded, but it was more of a shock than a surprise.
She never expected her mother to come home tonight. It would be fine if it were any other time, but now there's an extra little light in the house!
My home is a complete mess right now.
"By the way, who is this student? Su Shi hasn't introduced him to me yet."
Ms. Nagasaki's gaze curiously climbed onto Takamatsu Akari's petite face. This girl, who was about the same age as her own daughter, looked really cute, but why were the girl's eyes red?
"Takamatsu Akari, her name is Takamatsu Akari."
Nagasaki Motoyo blushed and explained shyly.
Xiaodeng was arguably the first girl she introduced to her family and classmates.
"Tall, pine, lamp, what a wonderful name!"
Ms. Nagasaki smiled and praised, then quickly walked over to Nagasaki Motoyo's side, her voice softening.
"Su Shi, is Xiao Deng crying? What happened? It's her first time visiting our home, and you made her cry?"
Her gaze darted back and forth between Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Akari, her doubts reaching a fever pitch.
There's a story behind this!
