Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

............

It turns out that there is a little-known story between Jianwei and Zhaoyang.

He looked at Zhaoyang with a questioning look in his eyes, but Zhaoyang simply shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Mi Cai quickly stepped forward to break the silence. She gently took Jian Wei's hand and said kindly:

"Jianwei, I'm Mi Cai, nice to meet you. Are you and Zhaoyang... old friends?"

Jian Wei nodded, forcing a smile:

"Yes, we've been friends for a long time. I never expected to meet you here today."

Haruko looked at Sakurajima Mai and Jian Wei with curiosity. She walked up to Sakurajima Mai and whispered:

"Mai-neechan, you're so beautiful! You look like you stepped out of a painting." (Tu)

Chapter 560 Yue Yao is here too!

Mai Sakurajima was amused by Haruko's innocent and carefree attitude. She gently patted Haruko's head and responded tenderly:

"Thank you, Haruko. You're very cute too."

As the conversation unfolded, the atmosphere at the bar gradually warmed up.

Although the past between Jianwei and Zhaoyang is like an invisible wall, in this space full of friendship, it seems to become less insurmountable.

Kitahara Shin looked at all of this "723" and felt both emotional and gratified.

Robben, who was in charge of creating atmosphere at the party, keenly sensed the subtle, almost imperceptible silence in the air.

He smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes, then raised his wine glass and loudly proposed:

"Come on, it's rare for us all to get together like this, let's not just talk, let's raise our glasses and drink to this precious gathering!"

His voice was clear and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically, raising their glasses in preparation for this unexpected celebration.

However, just as the glasses were about to clink, a sweet and slightly playful voice suddenly broke through, washing away the subtle atmosphere like a clear spring:

"What, such a big gathering, and you didn't even invite this young mistress?"

The sudden sound drew everyone's attention, and a woman in a gorgeous long dress with an outstanding demeanor walked gracefully towards them—it was Le Yao.

Her appearance was like a beautiful sight, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Robben was the first to react; his eyes widened in surprise, and he almost dropped his wine glass.

"Le Yao? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Yang's reaction was more complicated. He was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

It seems there are a thousand words to say, yet one doesn't know where to begin, and can only mutter to oneself:

"Le Yao, you..."

CC looked delighted and quickly stepped forward to give Le Yao a big hug:

"Le Yao, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful!"

Her voice was filled with genuine joy.

Kitahara Shinya smiled and nodded to Yueyao:

"Le Yao, it's been a long time. This is my girlfriend, Sakurajima Mai."

As he spoke, he gently took Sakurajima Mai's hand, and the two stood side by side, looking exceptionally well-matched...

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded at Le Yao, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and friendliness.

She had heard Kitahara Makoto mention the name Le Yao before, and knew that she was a good friend of Kitahara Makoto and Zhao Yang. Today, she finally had the opportunity to meet her in person, and naturally felt very close to her.

Le Yao's gaze shifted between Sakurajima Mai and Kitahara Makoto, then she gave a warm smile:

"Sakurajima Mai, you're so beautiful. Kitahara Makoto, you're so lucky."

Her voice was full of sincerity and blessings, which warmed Mai Sakurajima's heart.

Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to greet Le Yao, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Robben even seized the opportunity to suggest:

2.9 "Now that Yueyao is here, we should celebrate even more! Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses again and toast to our reunion and friendship!"

As Robben finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses again, this time with a louder and more joyful clinking.

Le Yao's arrival seemed to inject new vitality and color into the gathering, instantly making the previously somewhat subtle atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

Chapter 561 The Great Beauties Sing

Amidst laughter and chatter, everyone began sharing their recent experiences and interesting stories, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai clung to each other, enjoying this rare warmth and happiness; Zhaoyang and Leyao still had unresolved past issues between them.

But at this moment, they cherish the time they have together; Robben, CC, Miyako, and Haruko add a lot of fun to the gathering by cracking jokes from time to time.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all worries and sorrows were left behind, leaving only pure friendship and happiness flowing in everyone's hearts.

As night deepened, the indoor lighting became softer, casting a warm and romantic glow over the gathering.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, making every tiny moment seem exceptionally precious.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone's faces were filled with satisfied and joyful smiles.

The conversation gradually quieted down, as if everyone was waiting for some new spark to ignite the passion of the night.

Just then, Robben's gaze swept over the charming women, including Jian Wei, Mi Cai, CC, Le Yao, and the newly joined Sakurajima Mai.

His eyes sparkled with inspiration, and a sly smile played on his lips.

"Hey, seriously, it's been so long since I've heard you beautiful ladies sing!"

Robben's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly, and his suggestion immediately caused a small commotion in the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Shin immediately responded:

"Great idea! Let the beauties do a duet; that'll definitely set the tone for tonight's climax!"

Zhao Yang chimed in, his eyes filled with anticipation for Le Yao, while also encouraging every woman present.

Amidst the cheers of Robben, Kitahara Makoto, and Zhaoyang, Jianwei, Micai, CC, Leyao, and Sakurajima Mai exchanged smiles.

It was a tacit understanding and trust that needed no words. They rose gently, their graceful figures like five blooming flowers, and slowly walked to the center of the stage amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

The stage lights instantly became brighter, focusing on the five beauties who were about to conquer the night with their singing.

Jian Wei spoke first; her voice was clear and magnetic, like a mountain spring, cleansing everyone's soul.

Mi Cai followed closely behind, her voice gentle yet powerful, each note seemingly telling her story.

CC's unique voice added a touch of playfulness and liveliness to the song; Le Yao's sweet voice carried a hint of sadness, making people involuntarily intoxicated by it.

Mai Sakurajima, although participating in such an event for the first time, blended her voice in exceptionally harmoniously, adding a touch of exoticism to the chorus.

The song they chose was "Run Away," with its melodious tune and heartfelt lyrics, as if it were tailor-made for this moment.

As the music began, the five singers' voices gradually coalesced into an irresistible force.

It penetrated every corner of the room, and it touched the hearts of everyone present. Their expressions were focused and absorbed.

Sometimes she lowers her head and hums softly, sometimes she looks up and gazes into the distance, as if she is telling stories about love and freedom through her songs.

The audience below the stage was completely captivated by the beautiful singing. Some listened with their eyes closed, utterly absorbed in the music.

Chapter 562 I Want to Elope with You~

Some clapped softly to cheer them on. Robben, Kitahara Makoto, and Zhaoyang stood up excitedly.

Waving their arms and swaying to the rhythm, they were completely immersed in this musical feast.

As the last note faded, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the room. The five women exchanged smiles.

His face beamed with satisfaction and pride.

They knew that at this moment, they had not only conquered everyone with their singing, but also made this rare friendship and gathering even more unforgettable.

The melody of "Run Away" seems to still echo in the air, reminding everyone, no matter what the future holds.

As long as there is love in your heart, you will have the courage to pursue the freedom and happiness that belongs to you.

As the last note of "Run Away" slowly faded into the air, the five women gracefully walked off the stage amidst applause and cheers.

A faint blush spread across their faces, a natural reaction to the blend of singing and drinking, and an outward expression of their inner joy.

Seeing this, Robben immediately stood up, holding his wine glass, a sly glint in his eyes, and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner:

"Oh my god, this isn't singing, it's heavenly music! It's so beautiful it's made my ears pregnant!"

One sentence made the whole audience burst into laughter, pushing the atmosphere to another climax.

Everyone raised their glasses, and amidst Robben's jokes, drank them down in one gulp. The wine in their glasses, like messengers of joy, conveyed their friendship and blessings to one another.

After returning to her seat, Miyako seemed to be drawn closer to Sakurajima Mai by some inexplicable tacit understanding.

The two whispered to each other, their laughter ringing out like silver bells—a unique intimacy and warmth between women.

Miyako's eyes sparkled with curiosity and friendliness, while Sakurajima Mai listened with a gentle expression, occasionally nodding or smiling in response.

They seemed to share countless little secrets, whispers that belonged only to girls, which quietly blossomed on this night.

On the other side, CC and Le Yao played rock-paper-scissors, their laughter ringing out clearly and melodiously, full of childlike innocence and joy.

CC would occasionally make exaggerated expressions in an attempt to confuse Le Yao, while Le Yao would respond with a serious expression.

Occasionally, he would pretend to be angry and lightly pat CC's hand, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

The interaction between the two filled the surrounding air with ease and joy.

Jian Wei sat alone to one side, her gaze sometimes looking out the window, sometimes staring at the wine glass in her hand, as if she was thinking about something important.

Her expression was calm and profound, as if she were isolated from the world and immersed in her own world.

The surrounding noise and bustle seemed to disappear from her mind; only the voice within her heart resonated.

Perhaps she is reminiscing about the past, perhaps she is planning her future, or perhaps she is simply enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and introspection.

(Zhao Liaohao) The atmosphere at the entire gathering was lively yet warm.

Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile. They were talking, laughing, or lost in thought, weaving together beautiful memories of this night.

In this space filled with love and friendship, time seems to become soft and long, making people reluctant to leave.

Kitahara Makoto sat beside Zhaoyang, a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he could always capture the fun in the smallest details of life.

Chapter 563 I've been reading this for three years, that's enough.

He gently nudged Zhaoyang's shoulder, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of gossip:

"Zhaoyang, speaking of your past with Jianwei, it's been a legendary tale in our circle. After all these years, don't you plan to share it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang paused slightly in his wine glass, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and a complex emotion, barely perceptible, flashed in his eyes.

"What's there to say? It's all in the past."

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, as if every word carried the weight of the past.

Kitahara Makoto was clearly not satisfied with these 723 simple answers. He shook his head slightly and gestured with his eyes:

"Look over there, Jian Wei is sitting there alone, lost in thought. She looks so lonely. As someone who used to be with her... you should at least go and comfort her, right?"

Kitahara Makoto's tone was somewhat teasing, but more than anything, it reflected a deep concern for the emotional bond between friends.

Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment. He looked up in Jian Wei's direction and saw that she looked particularly gentle in the dim light, but also revealed an indescribable loneliness.

The alcohol seemed to be taking effect in his body, making him somewhat impulsive. He put down his glass, stood up, and staggered toward Jian Wei.

Walking up to Jian Wei, Zhao Yang coughed softly, trying to get her attention. Jian Wei shuddered at the sound.

She quickly turned her head away, not wanting Zhaoyang to see her face, and replied in a slightly trembling voice:

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

There was a hint of resistance in her voice, as if she was afraid that if she revealed too much, the defenses she had painstakingly built would collapse.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang felt a pang of inexplicable sorrow welling up in his heart. He squatted down to be at eye level with Jian Wei, his eyes filled with warmth and concern.

"Very good? Then why don't you dare look at me?" His tone was gentle yet firm, trying to penetrate Jianwei's defenses and touch the softness in her heart.

Jianwei's eyes reddened slightly, and she held back her tears, trying her best to make her voice sound calm.
