Finally, I became their white moonlight

This chapter is two in one.

Volume 91: Chapter Chapter The train will eventually arrive at the terminal, but what about us?

With a roar, the tram, loaded with people, continued to move along the track towards the next stop.

During rush hour, passengers were either standing or sitting, and the heavy number of them seemed to make the floor creak under the weight, forming an unstable melody amid the slight shaking.

Ming Hai turned sideways towards the car door, the railing in his palm was warmed by his hand, in front of him was a transparent partition, behind the partition was a row of seats that were packed with people.

The dazzling golden light passed through the buildings and illuminated the entire city from afar.

The swaying car window quickly divided it, and the scattered but endless spots of light fell equally on the ends of everyone's hair.

Her long brown curly hair was also coated with a gentle golden edge by the setting sun. Every curl was clearly visible, shining with a smooth and bright luster like fine silk.

Holding her schoolbag in front of her, Nagasaki Suyo leaned against the partition, with the chest of the person she loved right in front of her.

The arms, not strong but full of power, seemed to support a world that belonged only to her, isolating the crowds, the irritating air and the rustling noises in the tram. Only the scent of the two of them was intertwined in this small, reassuring space.

As long as you get close, you can hear his heartbeat; as long as you reach out, you can hug his body.

But she did not have the courage to put her idea into action, nor did she intend to do something that would lead to her extinction.

"That's great. I've made peace with Xiangzi-chan."

The silent atmosphere lasted for who knows how many stops, and finally stopped with her nonchalant voice.

Ming Hai withdrew his gaze from the scenery outside the window, lowered his head to look at her sea-blue pupils that were half-closed under her long eyelashes, as if trying hard to hide her emotions.

"Yes, it's all thanks to you." He said, "Your acting is pretty good. I didn't realize it at all. You specially brought me to meet them."

This is not sarcastic.

It was only after he regained his composure that he realized that Su Shi was in cahoots with them. He never suspected that buying a swimsuit was just an excuse.

"..." Nagasaki Suyo trembled slightly, and her lips that seemed to be coated with lipstick were slightly pursed. After a long while, a subtle sound came out of it, "I can't help it. After all, I promised Xiangzi-chan, so I have to do my best."

"Promised her?" Ming Hai was puzzled, "Did you make any agreement behind my back?"

"Yeah~" When she said this, she barely cheered up, raised her eyebrows, and showed a malicious smile, "I made an agreement with her. As long as I help her this time, she will turn a blind eye to whatever I want to do to you in the future~"

"'Just think of it as a dog bite. I'll help Narumi-kun clean it up'... That's what she said at the time?"

Ming Hai's expression twisted instantly. Looking at her expression, it was as if he had a lot to complain about but didn't know where to start.

But in the end, he just sighed deeply, reached out and patted her head, with a bit of helplessness and tenderness in his eyes.

"Don't talk about being bitten by a dog or anything like that."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment, then she raised the corner of her mouth in self-mockery and looked away.

"Yeah, Xiangzi-chan would never say such a thing."

"Idiot." Ming Hai put his hand on her head and emphasized, "I mean, you are a beautiful young lady, why do you describe yourself as a dog? Even if it's a joke, there's no need to humble yourself like that, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the floor of the carriage, bit her lip and said nothing.

It creaks and is so fragile that it seems like it will collapse at any time, but it can always carry those extremely heavy things and travel back and forth on the long track again and again.

——It is it that supports all the passengers in the carriage, and what is supporting it to keep moving?

Such a meaningless and overly imaginary question flashed through her tangled thoughts and soon disappeared without a trace.

"I'm not being humble." She hugged her schoolbag tightly to her chest, her tone a little awkward, "Don't feel sorry for me, and don't be so nice to me. Be careful or I'll tell Xiangzi-chan and you two will have another fight."

"Go ahead, maybe she'll praise me." Ming Hai said indifferently, "Anyway, you're our mutual friend, what's wrong with me comforting you?"

"Yeah, no problem." Nagasaki Suyo sneered, waved away his warm and generous palm, and said in a rush as if to vent his emotions, "The person with the problem is just me who likes you more and more!"

"To tell you the truth, I volunteered to help Xiangzi-chan, and I took the initiative to make you two reconcile... It was just so that you would owe me a favor, and then I could find an opportunity to snatch you away from Xiangzi-chan!"

"Oh~ I see." Ming Hai nodded suddenly, feeling that all the doubts in the past were solved at this moment, "No wonder you were so active in giving me advice at that time. Becoming a 'love strategist' is also for this purpose, right? Retreat to advance, turn enemies into friends, let down everyone's guard, and then stab them in the back unexpectedly..."

He couldn't help but sighed: "Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being like this, you are full of tricks."

"...Yes, I am this kind of woman with a gloomy personality and full of scheming." Nagasaki Suyo's voice became low and she said in self-abandonment, "You can hate me as much as you want, but now... I don't expect you to like me anymore."

As if she wanted to shrink herself into the dark corner of this world, she hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, and the expression on his face when he looked at Toyokawa Shoko kept replaying in her mind.

After Xiangzi said that, Ming Hai seemed to understand something, and went from being stunned to being confused, and then gradually accepted the reality...

Finally, looking at Xiangzijiang's back as she left, he gave her a look that made her heart tighten and her breath freeze.

——The look in his eyes was completely different from when he looked at me, and from any other time in the past.

Nagasaki Suyo's fingers turned white as she gripped her schoolbag with such force, she tried to hold back the trembling of her body, but the fear of losing something important made even her heart tremble, as if the ground under her feet was no longer there, but a bottomless cold abyss.

She didn't know how long it had been, but in a trance, she heard the gentle and smiling voice above her head again.

"Thank you, Sushi."

Nagasaki Suyo slowly stopped trembling, but her voice became more fragmented.

"Why?"

——Why do you need to thank me? Why do you still use this tone?

Ming Hai continued: "Thank you for your company all the time, thank you for all the things you have done, and thank you for putting all your efforts into me--"

Before he could finish, Nagasaki Suyo grabbed the corner of his clothes hard.

"Stop talking. Please, stop talking..."

As if he hadn't heard her begging for mercy, Ming Hai's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to speak softly: "When I first approached Xiangzi, I did have my own purpose... but you are different from me. From the beginning to now, you have been working so hard to be with me. It is because you love me that you do all kinds of things, right?"

Find out when he goes out and try to bump into him;

Get dressed up and go shopping for bass with him;

And she worked tirelessly to do his laundry, cooking, and cleaning the room...

No matter how many times she was rejected, Nagasaki Suyo always tried her best to occupy a position by his side, as persistent as ever, regardless of the consequences.

Maybe the reason is just to fill the emptiness caused by family discord, and they are afraid of having to live alone in an empty house again, so they want to do this?

But no matter what, Ming Hai did understand it deeply.

——The satisfaction of being loved by someone.

"So, I have to thank you."

His palm returned to her head, and Minghai gently stroked the soft and smooth hair, allowing her to pull his clothes over and lean his forehead against him.

Her clothes were gradually soaked by the warmth, and her heart seemed to tremble along with her.

But he did not dodge, but just pressed the back of her head so that she could lean firmly on his chest and silently vent the emotions that he had been holding back for a long time.

That's probably the proof that you like someone, right?

Discomfort, jealousy, sadness, anger, self-blame, love, joy...

Once you fall in love, pain will follow, because you don't know when the flowers of happiness and sweetness will bloom.

This is especially true for girls.

From the moment the emotion of love was born, her heart was no longer clear. It was filled with dense threads of love, which were getting tighter and tighter. If one end of the thread was pulled lightly, it might leave blood marks. The harder she pulled, the more it would be torn into pieces.

If I want to prevent her from getting hurt further, the best way is probably to force her to hate me and stay away from me, right?

But Ming Hai didn't want to do such a hypocritical thing, nor did he want to trample her feelings on the ground just for the so-called "devotion" and "loyalty".

What if I like it? What if I don’t like it?

What if it will affect the mission?

As long as she is very important to you, some things have meaning to be done and some words have to be said.

"——Thank you. Even if there is no result, you are willing to love me like this."

His chin rested gently on her head and Narumi laughed heartily.

"I'm very happy, really. Although I always acted very disgusted before, the days I spent with you were probably the most relaxed and enjoyable times for me, right?"

"Then why should I say it out loud..." She sniffed and choked with sobs, and whispered, "If I don't say it out loud, I can still be the same as before..."

Ming Hai raised his head and looked at the afterglow in the distance that was no longer dazzling, and the dusk that colored the night.

He felt helpless, yet relieved.

"Maybe it's because we can't be the same as before."

"The tram will eventually reach its end, and the stage will eventually come to an end."

"As a friend, I don't want to see you suppressing your emotions, assisting Xiangzi and me, and humbly seeking happiness."

"…So, Sushi. It's time to end it here."

The tram shook violently and stopped in front of the platform.

Not wanting others to see her crying, Ming Hai simply endured the surprised and disgusted looks from the people around him, and walked off the train with Nagasaki Motoyo in his arms, like a boyfriend who loved his girlfriend very much.

And his voice, still without the slightest wavering, rang clearly in her ears.

"Then, start over again."

"Whether it's me and Xiangzi, or me and you."

——That was probably the first time, and also the last time, that he spoke to Nagasaki Suyo in such a gentle tone.

"At least, for the rest of the days..."

The following sentence gradually disappeared in the sound of the crowd's footsteps, without any echo.

-

Back at the apartment, Ming Hai took a shower before opening the door to welcome Su Shi who had also finished showering.

Her eyes were still a little red, but her mood had calmed down and she went into the kitchen to cook dinner as usual.

The phone suddenly vibrated, Ming Hai clicked on the message and found that it was from Toyokawa Shoko.

"Oh, there's something I forgot to ask you."

"Did you really do those things with Su Shi that night when we had a fight?"

"Honestly, it's okay. I'm prepared and I won't be mad at you because of this."

Ming Hai stared at his phone in silence for a few seconds, his expression changing in a complicated manner. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, turned around and shouted towards the kitchen:

"Su Shi, what nonsense did you say to Xiangzi?"

"What nonsense?" Her doubts came lightly over the sound of cooking, "I said a lot, which one are you referring to?"

Ming Hai walked to the kitchen, leaned against the sink, and showed her the chat records.

"Well." Nagasaki Suyo blinked suddenly, and continued to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot without caring, "She just said that I counseled you for a whole night, and hinted that I went to your room and did some intimate things together."

"That's all?" Ming Hai opened his eyes wide and stared at her in disbelief.

How much does this guy take it for granted to tarnish the reputation of others and himself?!

"We didn't tell you directly that we did it, and Xiangzi didn't believe it, isn't it just that?" She sighed impatiently and knocked the pan twice. "Xiangzi was obviously just teasing you, don't bother me with your fun anymore. Be careful or I'll add a lethal dose of salt to you!"

"Okay, you're the chef and you're the boss." Ming Hai curled his lips, left the kitchen, lazily lay back on the sofa, and quickly typed a reply to the message.

"You already know everything..."

"In that case, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Although my body was defiled by her, my heart will always belong to you...even your name is written as the body donor."

Xiangzi: "???"

Xiangzi: "Where should I start to complain... Let's not talk about the remains for now. How did she defile your body? Can you tell me in detail?"

"She would come to my house and cook. I had gotten used to the taste of her food and my stomach had taken on her flavor."

Xiangzi: "Is that so? That's good."

Xiangzi: "...No, that's not good! Why would she cook for you? And it sounds like it lasted for a while. What did you do when I was away? ! "

"Don't worry, since you are willing to forgive me, I will tell you everything I have concealed in the past to prove my sincerity!"

Xiangzi: "Wait a minute, don't talk about it online."
