The lady can hear my voice

"It's really delicious. Did you make this, Toyokawa-san?"

"Yeah, but it's just simple fried chicken."

"It's not easy to achieve what you have done. I think it's great. If you don't mind, come and try the egg rolls I made."

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the egg roll handed to her by Sora Niijima, picked up a piece gently with her hand, then covered her mouth and tasted it slowly.

Sweet, just like her current mood.

091 Name

After seeing Sora Niijima leave with satisfaction, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but ask.

"Toyokawa-san, how did you improve your cooking skills?"

"Any tips?"

I saw that Sora Niijima was so satisfied with his meal and was having a great conversation with Shoko Toyokawa.

She also developed a sense of crisis.

No matter what, we must not lose too much in terms of women's power.

I have to work hard too.

Takamatsu Deng also became interested in improving his cooking skills and asked the same question.

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko thought of the egg rolls just now, and also thought of the satisfied expression on Sora Niijima's face when he ate what she made just now, and subconsciously said, "The trick is... when making food, you should think of it as being made for the person you love."

“As long as I think that this is done by someone I like, I will be more attentive and study it more seriously.”

“The greatest meaning of cooking is to make the people you love happy with their food.”

Chihaya Aine didn't expect to hear such an answer, and she froze for a moment.

"The person you like, does that mean..."

Takamatsu Deng also blinked, "Saki-chan, do you have someone you like...?"

Looking at the two girls' obviously changing expressions, one was confused and nervous, while the other was anxious.

Only then did Toyokawa Shoko realize that there was something wrong with what she had just said, but she thought quickly and continued speaking.

"Well, what I'm actually talking about is..."

"My mother, even though I can't see her now...but I always miss her very much."

“Every time I cook, I always think that I am cooking for my mother, so I take it very seriously.”

“Yes, that’s how it is…” Chihaya Aine breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Songdeng didn't know what to say and just stared blankly.

Saki-chan said...that she can no longer see her mother?

What does it mean?

Toyokawa Shoko looked at their reactions and sighed inwardly.

She didn't directly say who the person she liked was qualified to be.

There is no way to express it as obviously as they do.

The only answer is a lie.

-

After the home economics class, Shoko Toyokawa volunteered to stay and clean the house.

So she successfully gained the right to use the ingredients here again.

The teacher is very flexible.

After cleaning up, Shoko Toyokawa returned to her seat and made another portion of fried chicken. She then put it in a lunch box and then put it in a thermos bag.

-

After school.

Shoko Toyokawa came to the door of the music classroom carrying a cooler bag, waiting for Sora Niijima to arrive.

"Toyokawa-san?"

Soon, the young man appeared.

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Thank you, Niijima-san, for letting Deng and Chihaya team up with me in the home economics class today."

Sora Niijima was stunned. "I didn't let them do that. They did it themselves..."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and didn't listen to his explanation. Instead, she walked up and handed him the bag.

"what is this?"

"Fried chicken, Niijima-san, you like it, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at him tenderly, "I've eaten your bento so many times before, but I rarely treat you to a meal."

“This is compensation.”

"Compensation is too polite... But I'll accept it." Sora Niijima took the bag with a smile.

"Actually, I have something I want to give you."

"Eh?"

"This is a wish-fulfilling wishing tablet I bought when I went to the shrine to pray last time."

"I am worshipping Bentenjin, the god of performing arts, who symbolizes good luck, money, success in career, and happiness in life."

Sora Niijima placed the prayer board in Toyokawa Shoko's hand and said with a smile.

"I hope that with this prayer card, your life will become smoother and smoother in the future."

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned when she looked at the prayer card in her hand.

She never expected that even when Sora Niijima went to worship at the shrine, he would still think of her.

There may even be a feeling of being flattered.

In fact, you can discover this from today’s home economics class.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Tomori are not Sora Niijima's girlfriends.

They have certain romantic feelings for Sora Niijima, and Toyokawa Shoko can see that.

But does Sora Niijima have the same feelings towards them?

It is not certain about Toyokawa Shoko, but judging from his current behavior, he is not in a confirmed relationship with anyone.

In other words... as long as I take that step now, I am not completely without a chance.

but.

Even though he was right in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko still felt like she couldn't reach him.

Or rather, he didn't want to let his dirty hands touch him.

Prayer cards...

It would be nice if it really worked.

"Also, Deng and her band now have a name, it's called MyGo."

"Mygo?"

"Hmm, it sounds very similar to 'Lost', right? Anyway... their band can get on the right track now."

"And the next live will be on the Friday of the week after next, Toyokawa-san... then you will..."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded: "I will go and see it."

Hearing this, Niijima Sora smiled and said, "That's good. I'll wait for you there too."

Toyokawa Shoko clenched the prayer card in her hand and smiled at him: "Then... Niijima-san, I will..."

Just when we were about to part.

"Xiangzi."

The sudden calling of her name caught Toyokawa Shoko off guard.

Her heart, which had originally calmed down, was stirred up again by him.

"Eh?"

"Ah... I just feel like we've known each other for so long... can we change our names or something?"

Sora Niijima: "Of course if you hate it, then..."

Toyokawa Shoko quickly shook her head, "I don't hate you... Niijima-san... You can call me whatever you want."

"is it?"

"Then... Xiangzi?"

"Yeah." Toyokawa Shoko responded, trying to suppress her shyness.

"Then you can also call me Sora."

Toyokawa Shoko's defenses were once again opened, and she looked at Niijima Sora with her watery eyes.

The voice trembled slightly.

"null."

-

After saying goodbye to Toyokawa Shoko, Sora Niijima sighed softly.

During the entire conversation he had just had with Toyokawa Shoko, he had not mentioned any serious matters.

In other words, topics such as her recent life and how much debt she owed were not mentioned.

Of course, Sora Niijima did avoid it on purpose.

But avoiding it all the time is not a solution.

He had to gradually open up Xiangzi's heart and make her trust him completely.

Only then will there be a chance to bring her out of the abyss.

"I hope that next time I meet her, she will be willing to tell me these things..."

-

As Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the school gate, she looked down at the prayer board in her hand several times along the way, and then thought of the scene where he called her name just now.

The girl's heart was beating like a deer.

However, this impulse did not last long.

Because...a car with a familiar license plate was parked in front of the school gate.

Toyokawa Shoko's expression suddenly became serious. She walked to the car door and slowly rolled down the window.

Then, when she heard what the person in the car said, her pupils contracted instantly.

"You mean...he's in the police station now?"

092 Xiangzi and Chuhua

When Toyokawa Shoko arrived at the police station, she saw her father sitting on a chair with a bruised face and nose, seemingly chatting and laughing with the police officers.

Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly and walked quickly to him.

"What happened again?"

"Oh, Xiangzi, you're here." Fengchuan's father smiled, as if he didn't care at all about the injury on his face.

"So what is it..." Just as Shoko Toyokawa was about to ask for clarification, the police officer on the other side came up and said to her father.

"The other party has been temporarily detained. You just need to go to the hospital, prepare a medical report, and then hand it over to us."

"Okay, thank you, officer." Toyokawa's father slowly stood up and said to Toyokawa Shoko, "Help me up and take me to the hospital."
