Finally, I became their white moonlight

"Well, I'll go up and check on Su Shi-san in half an hour. Before she gets enough rest, I need to finish what I need to do today so that I can focus on taking care of her!"

So the three of them sat around the sofa and began to discuss the melody and arrangement of "Haruhi Shadow".

Volume 146: Chapter Chapter : The Tortured Ruoye Mu

The composition process went quite smoothly.

There is no doubt that their eldest daughter Xiangzi has a strong talent for composing music, which has been demonstrated in the past.

"Song of Becoming Human" took me less than an hour from reading the lyrics to singing it myself.

Although the melody and structure are somewhat monotonous, and there are heavy traces of improvisation and accommodating lyrics, it is at least an original song, rather than a random humming tune.

Just like Ming Hai who relied on the cheating system, Toyokawa Shoko might also have the gift of a "musical genius". There are always more and more melodies in her mind, and she doesn't have to worry about running out of inspiration.

Therefore, the only role that Ming Hai and Wakaba Mutsu could play was to give her some suggestions on "subtraction" and the composition of instruments other than the piano; for the other parts, she would hum a few times to write a melody, and after a period of revisions, the completion rate was almost 80%, and there was no need to discuss anything with others.

Ming Hai even felt that as early as after seeing the lyrics of "Haruhi Shadow", Xiangzi already had a rough idea of ​​the music score in his mind. All he had to do next was to fill in the most perfect colors and background in the draft like painting.

“‘Haruhi Shadow’… It’s not finished yet, but it will definitely be a good song that will leave a lasting impression on people.”

“I really want to see everyone performing this song on stage soon.”

Listening to the melody hummed by Xiangzi, Minghai felt a little trance-like, his thoughts flew to the beautiful future that he didn't know whether he could see, and he couldn't help but smile with anticipation.

...Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was even brighter, as if urging them to hurry up and get to lunch time.

"What are you guys planning to eat for lunch?"

After finishing the work at hand, Toyokawa Shoko stood up and asked the two people. There was no sign of fatigue on her face from concentrating on composing for two hours. Instead, she looked more energetic and seemed to have the energy to work hard for a whole afternoon.

"Order takeout."

Ming Hai was about to take out his cell phone when he met her sharp gaze and subconsciously stopped his action.

"... Could it be that you want to cook here?"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, put one hand on her waist, and smiled with a smug look on her face: "I've already asked Ms. Nagasaki, we can use the ingredients in the kitchen and refrigerator as we please, and we can just ask someone to buy the missing ones and send them up - I had everyone's help during the training camp so it doesn't count, but this time, I want you two to see my real cooking skills with your own eyes!"

Ming Hai shrugged: "If you don't mind the trouble, then it's no problem... But those are the only dishes you can cook now, right?"

"Well, after all, I didn't practice for long..." Toyokawa Shoko was a little embarrassed, but soon she cheered up with full energy, "But it doesn't matter! Our chef said that I learn very quickly, and I will definitely be able to make a bento with a rich variety of dishes after school starts!"

After school starts? We have to wait until then...

For some reason, Ming Hai suddenly thought of a sentence Dazai Osamu said:

"I originally wanted to die this summer, but my girlfriend recently said she would make me a lunch box, a girlfriend lunch box that I can only eat after school starts, so I'd better live until autumn."

So, there is one more reason to want to die later.

——Brother Tongzi, although I don’t know when I will die, can you let me eat the girlfriend’s bento made by Teacher Xiaoxiang before I die?

Otherwise, what if I die with regret and become a ghost bound to this world...

"Narumi-kun? What's wrong?"

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head slightly, not understanding why he suddenly became dazed with a look of emotion on his face.

"It's okay, I'm just a little bit looking forward to it." After coming back to his senses, Ming Hai continued as if nothing had happened, "So, there's no need to ask us what we want to eat, right? Just serve your favorite dishes to the table. Whether they taste good or not, we will eat them with gratitude."

Ruoye Mu nodded silently.

It is convenient to have someone to speak with as you can express your opinions without saying anything.

"That's good." Toyokawa Shoko smiled slightly, lifted her long hair heroically, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "In this case, I will be rude to you and do it my own way, okay?"

"Come on, let us know if you need help."

Ming Hai waved his hand and watched her walk into the kitchen, put on an apron, and start busying herself like a virtuous wife. He felt an inexplicable itchy feeling in his heart.

——I really want to hug her tightly from behind while she is busy cooking, smell her long hair filled with the scent of gardenia, and kiss her rosy face that is troubled and shy.

If I marry Xiangzi, can I play naked apron play every day? The maid uniform seems to suit her very well...

With his head full of golden teenage fantasies, Ming Hai withdrew his gaze with a bright smile, and crossed his legs in a different position, hiding his obscene self perfectly.

Even Ruoye Mu, who had been staring at him quietly since Xiangzi left, could not notice any change in his expression.

"Miss Ruoye, do you have something to tell me?"

Under the influence of Miss Xiangzi, who is becoming more and more virtuous and gradually showing the temperament of a wife, Minghai occasionally has the illusion that Wakaba Mutsu is actually their daughter.

She has a sweet and quiet personality, and looks as petite and delicate as a doll. Her expressions and behaviors that occasionally reveal her emotions are also very cute. She is a little light bulb that people don't hate.

So just like when he was facing Deng, he could always be patient and communicate well with her even though she was not good at talking, and he rarely got angry and lost his defense because of her unintentional words.

"Did you reject Su Shi's confession?"

Ming Hai: “…”

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Seeing that Ruo Yemu's expression was a little heavy, he was staring at him as if interrogating him.

Ming Hai took a deep breath, and first mentally hypnotized himself not to bother with the cucumber spirit, and then showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Su Shi? Is she awake?"

"She was still asleep when we went to see her half an hour ago." Ruoye Mu shook his head and answered bluntly, "It's just a feeling... Before we came, you were alone with her, and there were traces of crying on her face, so I wondered if that was the case."

"That's it."

Ming Hai nodded calmly, with malice bubbling inside him.

——Oh, such a sharp intuition, but a little light bulb can be broken by accident, right?

He had already had the experience of taking advantage of Ruoye Mu at that time, so now he would not hold back on Ruoye Mu - he should knead that cheek that felt so good a few more times to vent his frustration.

Unfortunately, just like he couldn't be affectionate with Xiangzi when Ruoye Mu was around; with Xiangzi looking over from the kitchen from time to time, Minghai couldn't really do anything to her.

"Rather than saying that I rejected his confession, it's better to say that she wanted to put an end to this relationship that was doomed to have no result, right?"

Ming Hai slowly put away his smile, not wanting to give her any perfunctory advice, and stated the facts directly: "Don't worry about her without permission like you did last time. This is a matter between the two of us, and no outsider has the right to interfere, regardless of whether the result is good or bad."

"If you really want to do good for her, then wait until she wakes up, don't say anything, stay with her as much as possible, go shopping and hang out with her, let her forget about her troubles naturally... If you can't even do this simple companionship, I suggest you just be a wooden man. At least you won't get yourself into trouble and make the situation more complicated."

"...I know." Ruo Yemu lowered her head slightly, her slender pink fingertips clenched together on her thighs, but her voice was so light that it seemed to be blown away, "She said that if I still look down on her, she will flick my forehead."

Ming Hai raised an eyebrow: "So, you want her to flick your forehead?"

"No, I just...want to check on my friends."

As if deciding not to escape anymore, Ruo Yemu looked at him again.

In his pale golden eyes, there seemed to be a flash of personal will that was more serious and more distinct than before.

"Can you and Su Shi still be friends in the future?"

Ming Hai was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Isn't that natural? As long as she wants, I will always be her friend."

"That's good..."

His tense expression relaxed slightly. Ruo Yemu put his hand on his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to himself: "...For Xiangzi, this is probably the best outcome."

When the day comes when Su Shi completely gets over this relationship, it will be a perfect ending with everyone happy and the whole family happy, and she won't have to be caught between her two friends.

With such a bright future before her eyes, her originally heavy mood instantly became light.

"No, since you care so much about Xiangzi, then don't always talk to me about Su Shi!"

Ming Hai frowned in confusion: "Seeing that I am so upright and devoted, not only did you not support or praise me, you even thought about helping me to have two relationships at the same time... Ruoye, what on earth are you thinking?"

Is this how you treat your childhood friends?

For the sake of a new friend whom I had only known for a few months, I was so cruel as to backstab my best friend who I grew up with...

If Xiangzi knew about this, no matter how good-tempered she was, she would probably scold Ruoye Mu severely, right?

"I... have already started reflecting on this."

Ruoye Mu lowered his head again, pursing his lips honestly and aggrievedly, like a primary school student who was being scolded obediently: "If you don't understand anything, don't say anything that may have serious consequences... With my power, I will only make things worse for Xiangzi and Su Shi."

Therefore, she really had no intention of saying anything about their relationship just now, but simply wanted to know what happened between the two of them.

Only after understanding the situation could Ruo Yemu find a way to comfort Su Shi, so as to avoid accidentally stepping on her landmine and being splashed with water or hit on the forehead by her.

"I'm glad you understand. It seems you haven't made any progress."

Ming Hai did not intend to take on the attitude of a parent and accuse the doll girl. He nodded seriously and asked seriously, "But you haven't answered me yet. Why am I so devoted to Xiangzi, but you have never supported or praised me?"

"You... need my support?" Ruo Yemu was at a loss, blinking his eyes to express his confusion.

"No need. But it's better than nothing, right?" Ming Hai spread his hands and said jokingly, "'Ming Hai is a loyal and affectionate good man. Although he made the girl cry, he was not wrong. He just made the most correct choice'... You just need to say that."

"..."

Ruo Ye Mu remained silent, as if he didn't want to say something against his will.

"I understand. It seems that you don't support my relationship with Xiangzi."

Ming Hai sighed deliberately. Although he had finished the black tea in the cup, the smell of green tea was faintly wafting in the air: "That's fine. It seems that I will never get the support of my girlfriend's best friends... Don't worry, I won't tell Xiangzi. After all, it's all my fault. I'm not likable to you. This is not your problem. It has nothing to do with you..."

"I said."

——That’s what I said, please stop talking!

The fair and cute face was faintly flushed. After Ruoye Mu uttered those two words with difficulty, he stared at Minghai silently with a slightly resentful look, as if questioning him.

Why did she still bully me like this even though she admitted her mistake?

Ming Hai ignored this and just smiled leisurely, indicating that she could speak quickly.

Then, Ruo Yemu said a sentence in a voice so soft that it was hard to hear, without any emotion:

"Ming Hai is a loyal and affectionate good man. Even though he made the girl cry, he did nothing wrong. He just made the best choice."

"Although it's not very emotional and sincere, I'll forgive you this time because you're not good at talking."

Ming Hai nodded, like a lost lamb who had been enlightened by the nun, and gave her a smile full of gratitude and sincerity.

"Ruoye, thank you for your comfort. I finally feel much better... I'll go upstairs with you to see Su Shi later!"

Ruoye Mu: "..."

The doll girl doesn't want to talk, the doll girl just wants to be alone.

...Su Shi, I'm sorry.

The person you like is so shameless that I can only succumb to his threats and say things that are contrary to my inner thoughts.

Then--

Xiangzi, take your boyfriend away quickly, don't let him continue to torture me here...

-

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them finished their lunch, cleaned up the mess, took a short rest on the sofa, and then prepared to go upstairs to visit Su Shi, who seemed to be still sleeping soundly.

By the way, the food cooked by Chef Xiangzi is very delicious.

After the training, she seemed to have improved her cooking skills by learning from Ming Hai.

Even if you are just making some home-cooked dishes, there will be no problem with the taste. You can even have enough space to present it on a beautiful plate, successfully achieving the goal of color, aroma and taste.

Of course, according to her, this level is still far from her goal - let alone the skills of Su Shi, she still can't make the handmade bento she wants to make for Ming Hai, and she needs to learn more dishes and cooking methods.

This made Ming Hai wonder, maybe what she wanted to make was not the common love bento, but the high-end bento with a three-layer lunch box and either abalone or lobster inside?

It seems that I need to teach this young lady some common sense when I have time...

-

Sad news, my body has been trained to not have any inspiration until the early morning, and I failed to adjust my work and rest schedule.

Volume 147: Chapter Chapter A girl who says one thing and means another

knock knock.

The slender hand knocked gently on the door, but like the previous times, there was no response from inside.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't wait long and soon pushed the door open and walked into the room, followed by two boys and girls who looked like followers.

The room was dark, and the curtains blocked out the midday sun outside the window as much as possible. Only the dim night light at the head of the bed illuminated the figure of the girl under the quilt.
