While eating, he helplessly comforted Miss Xiangzi, who was walking around the room with her phone, almost confusing everyone: "As long as we follow our original arrangement, there is no possibility of failure in this performance... Even if you play two or three wrong notes on the piano, no one will notice. Even if there is a problem, at most it is just that Gao Song can't sing it, so please stop wasting your energy over there, okay?"

"Even if you say so..."

Toyokawa Shoko stopped and sat back on the bed. The camera turned to her delicate, smooth but uneasy little face. Her little feet, wearing white stockings, swayed back and forth on the edge of the bed, flashed by the edge of the camera from time to time.

"【CryCHIC】 is a whole, and we share a common destiny... It doesn't mean that just because I perform well, I can blame all the problems on those who perform poorly, you know?"

She held her cheek and sighed softly: "If Deng really can't sing, it only means that we haven't practiced enough. Even if there is a mistake, it is my fault for being too anxious to let her go on stage."

Ming Hai nodded in understanding: "So, you have already determined that Takamatsu-san will behave badly?"

“Hmm… please don’t ask me in such a malicious way!” She glared at me, looking cute in anger. “It was you who first assumed that Deng couldn’t sing. I was just following your words! We can all see how hard Deng has worked. As long as nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely amaze everyone!”

"According to Tongliao Law, when you think that everything will be fine as long as nothing unexpected happens, then there is a high probability that something unexpected will happen."

Ming Hai Bear spread his hands, looking innocent, with a piece of pork ribs in the corner of his mouth, which made people angry just by looking at him.

In a fit of rage, Toyokawa Shoko shouted directly to the outside of the camera: "Mr. Suyo, please add a lot of salt to Narumi-kun's dishes next time! A lot of vinegar is also fine!"

Nagasaki Suyo, who was sitting opposite Ming Hai and eating quietly, couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and it seemed as if veins burst on her forehead.

"I say...can't you just let me eat properly? Don't treat me as part of your PLAY."

She put down the bowl and gave a gentle and bright smile to the screen of Minghai's mobile phone.

"Otherwise, be careful or I'll poison the food next time~"

Ming Hai shuddered all over and quickly spat out the ribs with only bones left into the plate, then used his other hand to stuff a few more mouthfuls of food before he felt at ease.

——This woman is really scary. She can make threats that don’t sound like a joke at all with such a relaxed expression.

Toyokawa Shoko seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, and immediately put her hands together and apologized sincerely:

"Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to get Sushi-san to join the chat. I didn't mean to flirt with Narumi-kun in front of you... I also believe that Sushi-san is not the kind of chef who would let the food he carefully prepared turn into poison!"

"Xiangzi-chan, it's better not to explain it at all..."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed softly, not knowing whether this guy was apologizing sincerely or was just being sarcastic to her.

But that didn't stop her from fighting back.

"But you can rest assured that I will not die with Ming Hai because of such a small matter."

That's such a waste, isn't it?

Picking up the bowl and chopsticks again, Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head slightly and smiled brightly at Toyokawa Shoko.

"At most, we'll just add some medicine."

Toyokawa Shoko widened her eyes: "What?!"

"I'll remember to video call you when the time comes, so you can feel a little more involved. It's only right to give back~"

Toyokawa Shoko stood up and said, "Mr. Sushi! You, you... are shameless! You have no sense of shame!"

"Yes, yes, I have no shame~"

Nagasaki Suyo rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with the young lady whose swear vocabulary was as large as that of an elementary school student. She lowered her head and continued to eat her dinner elegantly and calmly, not caring at all that the girl who was nominally her friend was on the other side of the screen, her face flushed with anger and she was jumping up and down in anxiety.

——Since they parted in the park that day, such interactions seemed to have gradually become their daily routine.

In order to continue staying in the Narumi family and doing some trivial housework for him, Nagasaki Suyo privately promised Toyokawa Shoko that she would not do anything that would affect their relationship.

It was as if he had completely given up on his own feelings and became an outsider who was willing to watch them grow more and more affectionate.

But that doesn't mean that she won't vent her anger when she's unhappy, which may bring a sense of crisis to the overly generous girl from time to time.

It was probably because Toyokawa Shoko trusted her that she had the freedom to speak freely...

Nagasaki Suyo understood this better than anyone else, but it was still difficult for her to sincerely thank her for her tolerance.

That's why in front of Ming Hai, the interaction between the two would be like this, sometimes awkward, sometimes tit-for-tat, but they tacitly didn't take it to heart, and when they met at school and in the orchestra the next day, they could still greet each other calmly.

Such a peculiar friendship, even they themselves don’t know how long it can last.

As the culprit, Ming Hai already had rich experience in dealing with this and was not afraid of the air that was faintly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

He turned the camera around calmly, coughed dryly, and said to the young lady who was grinding her back teeth as if nothing had happened: "I'll concentrate on eating first, and I'll call you later."

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath, calmed herself down by fixing her hair, and then nodded to him calmly.

"Well, I'll go take a shower too."

Ming Hai immediately raised his eyebrows, straightened up, and stared at the screen seriously.

"I'm not hungry anymore when it comes to this, why don't we continue chatting. You wash yours and I'll talk about mine."

"satyr!"

Toyokawa Shoko rolled her eyes at him, pressed the hang-up button with a slightly blushing face, and sent him a picture of a pervert being beaten with a stick.

Ming Hai happily put his phone aside, raised his head, and just happened to meet Nagasaki Suyo's cold and mocking gaze like a scimitar.

"You like watching girls take a bath? You have been pretending to be a gentleman for so long, but your true nature is finally revealed."

"What are you pretending for? I've always been a gentleman, okay?" Ming Hai shrugged. He was used to her tone and naturally would not panic and make excuses. Instead, he said calmly, "It's just a couple flirting. Don't take it so seriously. If she really wants me to see it, I'll just hang up the phone."

"Really? You're quite persistent in your characterization of having the desire but not the courage."

With an ambiguous snort, Nagasaki Suyo also withdrew her gaze, wisely not continuing the discussion on this topic, and changed the topic to ask:

"Is there really no problem with the performance?"

"Why are you also like Xiangzi, worrying about nothing?" Ming Hai was very helpless, "Xiangzi is responsible for the overall planning, Shiina-san is responsible for assisting in the execution, and I am responsible for the backup... Unless there is an earthquake, tsunami or storm that day, there is nothing that can make your performance fail."

He even took into account the possibility that Takamatsu Deng might get stage fright - after all, it wasn't a large-scale commercial event, and no one would blame them for lip-syncing.

Instead of worrying about the performance, I should worry about how to play with the kids afterwards...

If [CryCHIC] becomes famous in the future, and someone asks them what was the most memorable thing about their first official performance, and they answer "taking care of the children", that would be quite a show effect.

...Although for him, the future of [CryCHIC] does not exist at all.

"If you have no problem, then I have no problem either." Nagasaki Suyo stopped asking questions and instead looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. "By the way, it seems that Riki has changed his opinion of you a lot. He even brought up the topic of you in the band recently..."

Ming Hai was not surprised. After all, Xiangzi had already told him about this matter.

"Maybe my ability conquered her? You don't know, some time ago in the work group, I changed the plan she proposed beyond recognition. She was so angry that she asked me to make an appointment and wanted to teach me a lesson offline."

"And then?" Nagasaki Suyo blinked curiously, subconsciously stopped using her chopsticks, and looked at his calm expression, "You won't agree, will you? This is obviously just a joke..."

"No, I agreed. She wasn't kidding me, and she was just pretending that if I couldn't explain it, she would give me a good beating with her fists." Ming Hai said disapprovingly, "Unfortunately, she couldn't beat me... If there weren't other people in the park, I would have pinned her to the ground and flicked her forehead."

Nagasaki Suyo was speechless. She knew he was joking, but she also felt that he was someone who could really do such a thing to a girl.

When they talked about something interesting, Ming Hai even put down his bowl and chopsticks and began to describe it vividly.

"I printed out her proposal first, and then when we met, I hit her on the head with a stick without waiting for her to open her mouth."

"She flew into a rage and swung her fist at me fiercely... Tsk tsk, the drummer's strength is really not to be underestimated. He is much stronger than you weak young ladies. Most men may not be able to resist him."

"Unfortunately, I was faster and stronger than her, so I held her fist down and forced her to stand still and listen carefully to me for two hours."

"In the end, I succeeded in making her blush and repent... Not only did she honestly bow her head and apologize to me, she also promised to follow my opinions in the future. She no longer needs to think, and being a person who is responsible for doing things is more suitable for her."

After speaking in an unusually vivid manner, Ming Hai drank some miso soup to moisten his throat and concluded with some emotion.

"Your band is really full of talented people..."

"...You are the most talented among us, okay?" Nagasaki Suyo covered her forehead with her hands as if she had a headache, and complained, "What the hell is going on! Why did Li Xi really fight? Why did you hold down her fist and force her to stand there and listen to you explain... Can't you just have a normal, good discussion!?"

Fortunately, she was not there, otherwise her mood would definitely be more complicated.

Of course, in addition to being speechless, there was something else that made Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but ask:

"Besides, are you sure that Shiina-san's face really turned red because of what you said, and not..."

"You're in love, calm down." Ming Hai gave her a decisive look.

During the short dinner time, the three of them took turns rolling their eyes at each other. It was really unbelievable.

"Look at Shiina Ritsuki. Does she look like someone who would blush when a boy holds her fist down?"

"Please don't call Li Xi a tomboy, okay?" Nagasaki Suyo frowned and said unhappily, "Although she speaks very directly, is a bit introverted and not frank, she is still a kind and simple girl at heart. How come she is not shy?"

"Anyway, it's not what you think." Ming Hai lowered his head, took a few bites of rice, and answered vaguely, "I'm not a succubus. No girl will fall in love with me after seeing me for a short time."

"Really?" Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips and smiled with interest, "Xiangzi and I have only known you for a short time, right? I don't know when Xiangzi fell in love with you, but at least after you saved me, it was probably less than two days before I started to care about you."

Ming Hai didn't even raise his head: "The suspension bridge effect doesn't count."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't care. She shrugged her slender shoulders and calmed her lips.

"If you say so, then so be it~"

The dinner ended quickly as they calmly chatted about this embarrassing topic; the dirty dishes on the table were almost cleared away, and after being washed by the girl, they were put into the dishwasher.

Nagasaki Suyo took off her apron, dried her hands, and prepared to go home.

"Aren't you staying to practice your bass today?"

Ming Hai asked casually.

She paused and shook her head: "After what I just said to Xiangzi-chan, it would be better for me to leave early. It would be bad if she really misunderstood something."

Ming Hai looked at her in confusion, "Isn't that a joke? It's not the first time you've said it, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?"

"Haa~"

Nagasaki Suyo sighed heavily, as if accusing him of not understanding girls' feelings, and the look she gave him was filled with a hint of blame.

"Remember, a girl's words of not caring have nothing to do with you... Give her a video call later. When she knows that I've returned, do you believe she will be relieved?"

Ming Hai nodded repeatedly, looking obedient: "I believe it. Of course I believe what Master Su Shi said."

Nagasaki Suyo glared at him angrily. Not wanting to continue chatting with this guy, she turned around and closed the door angrily.

"That's it, see you tomorrow!"

boom!

Looking at the door that locked automatically, Ming Hai shook his head as if it had nothing to do with him, turned around and walked back to the sofa.

"Why are girls nowadays so irritable?"

About half an hour passed.

When Toyokawa Shoko sent a message saying that she had just finished taking a shower, he made a video call to her directly as Nagasaki Suyo had said.

What I saw was a girl's room, not a beautiful girl emerging from the bath, pure and seductive like a lotus flower emerging from water.

Knowing what his slight frown meant, Toyokawa Shoko spoke softly, somewhat shyly but with a hint of smile.

"Okay, I just got out of the shower. I'll show you after I blow dry my hair."

"No, I haven't said anything yet." Ming Hai said stubbornly, holding his phone and walking around the living room for a while, and then casually said, "Su Shi has gone back. She said she won't practice bass today, and she wants to rest early and conserve her energy to prepare for the official performance later."

"I see~ As expected of Suyo-san, you have very mature ideas."

She spoke in a calm manner, but couldn't help revealing a sense of relief.

Ming Hai nodded in agreement, secretly sighing with satisfaction.

——Yes, you are worthy of being called Lord Sushi.

Her understanding of girls' hearts is several times greater than his!

Volume 94: Chapter Chapter The legendary A, A, O!

The midsummer is as hot as fire, and the loud chirping of cicadas marks the beginning of the summer vacation.

The July heat wave began to show up in the morning. As soon as I got out of the air-conditioned minibus, the coolness on my body did not last long before it was almost evaporated by the bright sunlight.

There were six people in the group, and except for Ming Hai, everyone wore hats and sun-proof jackets to protect the delicate skin of the girls.

"Wow, it's so hot... It's like this now, how can it be hot in the afternoon?"

"Fortunately it's not an outdoor performance, otherwise we would have to worry about heat stroke..."

"When you hold outdoor concerts in the future, you must remember to take climate factors into consideration and be prepared for heat and cold..."

"Hmm... the sunlight is so dazzling..."

"..."

Ming Hai closed the car door, said a few words to the driver, walked to Toyokawa Shoko, and said softly: "The equipment will be delivered directly to the venue. Please report to the dean's office first."
