The lady can hear my voice

The sudden noise startled the two of them.

But this time it’s not Sora Niijima, but Shoko Toyokawa.

Toyokawa Shoko's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she really wanted to punch her belly.

but……

"You must be hungry. I have another bowl of porridge here, also cooked by Mu. Xiangzi, you can eat it."

"But... Sora you..." Toyokawa Shoko began to stammer.

So shameful.

She obviously eats well, although... her food is relatively vegetarian.

After all, there is no money.

All the money that was saved before was used to pay off debts and deal with my father's various affairs.

She has filed an appeal against her father's various bad deeds and is now waiting for the court to make a verdict.

By now, Shoko Toyokawa would not have any mercy on him.

After all, he had never considered himself a daughter.

Otherwise, would he do such a thing?

Sora Niijima smiled and said, "I have already eaten a lot today, and I can eat normally starting tomorrow. The hospital will prepare a nutritional meal for me then."

"This can also relieve some of your burden."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Sora Niijima, who was still as gentle as ever, and smiled shyly: "Then... I won't be polite."

Anyway, I owe you so much, and I can never repay you in my lifetime.

Agreements, promises, none of that is needed.

Toyokawa Shoko made up her mind that the rest of her life would revolve around Niijima.

As long as he doesn't despise himself.

Then you can do whatever you want.

It's just...a pity.

Toyokawa Shoko opened the thermos box and took a bite of the rich hot porridge.

If only I could feed him as intimately as Mu...

"Xiangzi."

"What, what's wrong?" Now that Toyokawa Shoko can hear the other person's thoughts, she wonders if the other person can also hear her own.

It just so happened that she had just said something very shameful in her mind.

"You...tomorrow...um..."

Toyokawa Shoko smiled and said, "You can tell me anything you want to say."

[Shoko can play the piano... but keyboards and pianos cannot be brought into the ward, so a guitar... should be fine, right?]

Sora Niijima: "Um, Xiangzi, there is actually one thing I haven't told you."

"It's just...I've known Sankaku-san for a long time."

Toyokawa Shoko: “…”

Actually I know.

Sora Niijima: "And I recently collaborated with her on a project, wrote two songs for her to sing, and let her debut in a new form."

Toyokawa Shoko was still listening quietly.

"So, we are now good partners and friends."

"Tomorrow... Xiangzi, I want to invite her to come here as well, and then the three of us can discuss the next steps."

"And...I want to write a few songs, and I'd like to ask you two for help, is that okay?"

Toyokawa Shoko naturally had no reason to refuse, so she nodded with a smile.

"Then...Sora, should I contact her, or..."

Sora Niijima: "I'll make the contact."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, and then continued to eat the porridge. However, as she ate, she felt that it did not taste the same as before.

As expected, I am also a very greedy person...

She thought so.

156 Friends, Just Friends

"Hatsu-chan, why are you watching these kinds of romance movies lately?"

Mana was eating a donut and looked at Sanjiao Chuhua beside him with a puzzled look.

Sanjiao Chuhua said a little embarrassedly: "Because I have never been in love, but the theme of the song "Spring Mud Stick" I sang before is about remembering the lost lover."

“I always feel like I don’t express myself very well.”

mana: "But isn't it already over?"

There was a slightly unnatural redness on Sanjiao Chuhua's face.

"But... maybe next time, Niijima-kun will ask me to sing a similar song. I want to perform better then."

Mana believed it.

"I see! As expected of you, Hatsu-chan!"

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and silently covered her face with the pillow.

In fact, she lied.

It's not about any song at all.

It was because he witnessed Shoko and Sora Niijima kissing last time.

That scene has always remained in my mind, and sometimes I even dream about it at night.

At that time, she also shed tears, not because of those messy emotions, but because she was purely moved.

Moreover, there will be some envy.

I envy Xiangzi for meeting someone who treats her so sincerely that he even risks his own life.

It's as romantic as a movie.

However, I am also worried about Xiangzi's situation.

After all... she has a heavy debt. Before she settles this debt, it would be difficult for her to convey her feelings to Niijima-kun, right?

Should I help her?

But how can I help?

Sanjiao Chuhua doesn’t have any specific ideas now.

In fact, as early as seven days ago, she had thought of visiting the patient, but she thought that Sora Niijima needed to recuperate, and he might not want others to see him in such a miserable state.

So she didn't bring it up.

But I have always been very worried.

Now, I don't know how Niijima-kun is doing...

Sanjiao Chuhua just picked up his phone and wanted to contact Niijima Sora.

As a result, I received a message from the other party.

(Mizuki, can you come to the hospital with your guitar tomorrow?)

Triangle Chuhua: "..."

So I replied immediately.

(OK.)

-

next morning.

Sanjiao Chuhua subconsciously started to dress herself up and changed into the blue dress she had worn before. In fact, she went with him to watch Mygo's live show that time.

She paid attention to her image and changed into a skirt.

Unfortunately...Sora Niijima did not comment on this.

But this is normal, after all, they are just friends.

Um...friends.

Sanjiao Chuhua inexplicably thought of the kissing scene between Toyokawa Shoko and him.

She stood in front of the mirror, stunned for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she slapped her face hard.

"What on earth have I been thinking about all day long?"

Sanjiao Chuhua felt that something was not quite right with him.

So she changed out of her skirt and continued to wear trousers and a white shirt.

-

When I arrived at the hospital, I reported my name at the front desk and confirmed that I had an appointment.

Sanjiao Chuhua waited quietly for Toyokawa Shoko to come out and pick her up.

They are now in a private hospital.

And the ward where Sora Niijima lives is the best, otherwise he would not be allowed to bring in a guitar and disturb other patients' rest.

The sound insulation of the rooms here is very good.

Soon, Toyokawa Shoko came out. When she saw Sanjiao Chuhua, she smiled slightly, "Chuhua, it's been a long time again."

Sanjiao Chuhua looked at Xiangzi, who looked bright and charming at this moment, and was obviously less decadent than before.

Every time he saw her before, although Toyokawa Shoko disguised herself well, the look of loss of hope in life still made Sanjiao Chuhua feel distressed.

"Long time no see, Saki-chan."

"Come over here with me, Sora is reading a book now."

Sankaku Hatsuhua nodded and followed closely behind Toyokawa Shoko.

Soon, she arrived at the door of the ward. She paused and saw Sora Niijima sitting on the bed, quietly reading a book.

The warm sunlight gently sprinkled on his body. Unlike in the past, his now somewhat sickly pale skin and his current behavior highlighted a gentle and elegant temperament.

I always feel that Niijima-kun has changed a little bit.

Every time I see him, I notice something different about him.

This is the most real feeling of Sanjiao Chuhua.

"Kong, I brought Chuhua here."

"Well, thank you, Xiangzi, and...long time no see, Sanjiao-san."

Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Long time no see."

-

"The performance of the music source has been pretty good recently, and it is still on an upward trend. Currently, the number of listeners per day is between 20,000 and 30,000..."

“The video was posted on YouTube for more than a week, and currently has around 100,000 views.”

Sankaku Hatsuka explained the details to Niijima Sora, while Toyokawa Shoko sat aside and quietly peeled an apple.

Then cut into bunny shapes.

Toyokawa Shoko has very skillful hands.
