Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

But when Aine said this, she felt that she had let the cat out of the bag. She didn't want these people to know that she had a good relationship with Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu, so she simply pushed all the blame onto Ayano.

Ayano was born to do this anyway.

"I can't care less...I can only get on with it, right?"

Li Xi actually had some things he wanted to say to Xiangzi and Xiaomu, but some words were no longer important because so much time had passed.

Perhaps during that period not long ago, Lixi really regarded Xiangzi as the person she admired the most, but gradually the person in her heart was replaced by another person.

What’s sad is that the person who replaced her, Li Xi, didn’t even know her real name.

She only vaguely remembered that Hai Ling mentioned the other person's surname: Li Shi.

Putting aside her thoughts for now, the issues Su Shi was thinking about were even more complicated and made her even more panicked.

Ever since Xiangzi unblocked her last time, they haven't spoken a word to each other.

If it was just because of Ayano's problem, Su Shi felt that there was no need for the other party to unblock her and ask her. This was something she only thought of later.

What does this mean?

This means Xiaoxiang wants to ask her out!

Her clever intelligence once again took the upper hand, and in this fleeting moment, Nagasaki Suyo's mind experienced a terrible storm.

First, she analyzed the situation rationally. According to Xiaoxiang's personality, he shouldn't come to her to ask questions after that conversation that night.

If she came here to talk about the matter between Aine and Ayano, even if she didn't ask Aine and Ayano themselves, she could ask Riki or Xiao Deng...

In short, if the other party really wants to reconnect with someone they once cut off ties with, they will never come to you to ask these questions.

And Xiaoxiang happened to find her, and even found the only one who had blocked himself. What does this mean...

This means that Ayano's matter is actually just an excuse, and the other party wants to open up a topic through this, the only bond between them at this stage!

But, but what did Nagasaki Suyo do? !

She actually replied in the message saying that she and Ayano were not familiar with each other. Wow, isn't this a textbook killing chat?

Su Shi even thought about how determined Xiaoxiang was at that time, and how many days and nights of struggle and thinking it took before he made up his mind to talk to her about what happened before.

But at this moment, Xiaoxiang took action and found an opening line that could be used to open the topic, but he ended up saying that he and Ayano were not familiar with each other...

Okay, Su Shi felt that if she wasn’t afraid that the people around her would think she was crazy, she would have wanted to slap herself a few times on the spot.

But fortunately, Xiaoxiang doesn't seem to have given up...

When Ayano was unsure how to face her past and the invitation from her good friend Aine, Xiaoxiang was told about this as expected.

From Aine and Ayano's perspective, they naturally wouldn't think of inviting Xiaoxiang.

In other words, Xiaoxiang came here on her own initiative... She even called Xiaomu over for her, just to completely resolve the previous unpleasantness.

Su Shi felt a little sad in her heart. She felt that there was no need for her to cling to the past.

In fact, she is very happy now, isn't she?

With her mother by her side at home, she no longer has to face an empty house when she returns home, living a life where no one cares if she eats unhealthily, no one takes care of her if she gets hurt, or no one notices or comforts her when she is sad.

And although everyone in the band always makes her feel dizzy sometimes, she knows that this is indeed her home. If it weren't for this, she would not choose to stay.

She no longer needs to live in such a miserable state.

Xiaoxiang should also have her own ideas. The girl who is obviously very strong but doesn't want to be called "strong" has now decided to face a new life.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Su Shi's lips, and the smile was as gentle as the sunset.

"Are you okay? One moment you act like someone owes you money, and the next moment you act like someone has paid you back."

"...If you can't speak, you can shut up."

"You don't have to wear a mask if you don't want to."

"..." Looking at the meaningful look in Li Xi's eyes, Su Shi paused and sighed, "I really met the wrong person."

"You used the wrong word, Su Shi." Deng on the side smiled and happily corrected Su Shi's inappropriate word choice.

"It doesn't matter~" Su Shi raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the people in front of him. However, when he saw Aine, he suddenly said with some confusion, "Eh? Aine, what do you mean by that look?"

“Um… nothing.” Aine felt a bit uneasy and quickly changed the subject, “I want to go out and buy some parfaits, Lenai-chan, let’s go together.

Ah, I've been practicing for a long time, it's time to take a break."

"You're always like this..." Li Xi was a little helpless, but he also smiled, "Forget it, Aiyin, you played really well today, you deserve praise."

"Huh? Rikki praised me again!"

"...Don't speak in that tone."

"hey-hey."

Su Shi looked at the harmonious appearance of the people in front of her and smiled happily again.

I hope... Xiaoxiang can also find his own happiness.

...

"Aunt Nagasaki, are you going to watch the live show with us too?"

When the car arrived at an intersection, the traffic light had just turned from green to red, so Ayano, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took this opportunity to ask a question.

After all, the clothes that Rina Nagasaki wore today didn't look that formal, like the kind of ordinary casual clothes that one would wear when shopping.

"Yeah, I'm not working today. I can't just come here and be your full-time driver, right?"

Rina complained unhappily, "Ayano, I've noticed that you haven't been as nice to me lately as before."

"No, Auntie, what you said sounds weird."

If Su Shi heard it and misunderstood, he would go crazy on the spot and chase me with a knife.

"What are you thinking?" Nagasaki Rina thought it was just Ayano's humor, so she smiled and continued, "You see, you usually let your mother do these things, why did you let me...

Ah, I see."

"……Um?"

"Thank you, Ayano." Under Ayano's somewhat bewildered gaze, Nagasaki Rina showed a happy smile that was exactly the same as her daughter's. "I really should pay more attention to my daughter's extracurricular life."

Chapter 226: Su Shi: I am wrapped in happiness (1/2)

Rina Nagasaki knows that sometimes, rather than simply taking care of her daughter's food and daily life at home, supporting Suze's hobbies is what a good mother should do.

Just by comparing her with Nanako, you can see that although Nanako is similar to herself in some aspects, she really cares about her daughter's hobbies.

Otherwise, do you think that the president of a prestigious company would be so busy every day just for the reason of reducing the workload of a senior employee and letting her spend more time with her daughter?

Isn't this because Nanako cares too much about Ayano's affairs?

In comparison, I have never even seen my daughter’s live performance.

In the past, she was busy with work and had to work hard to support the family, so at least she had this excuse to excuse herself. But now that she has free time, she has not thought about this problem, that is, she is somewhat incompetent as a mother.

As the saying goes, the person who knows Su Shi best should be Ayano, who has similar experiences. So asking her to come and be responsible for pick-up today is actually to give myself a direct opportunity to understand my daughter's life.

Oh...what a good boy.

"Auntie Rina, how long will it take to get there? Why is the road so congested..."

"It's a bit strange, but it's okay. We should be able to catch up."

While answering Xiangzi's question from the back seat, Rina Nagasaki saw through the rearview mirror an exquisite cosmetics packaging bag in Wakaba Mutsu's arms.

But before she could ask anything, Xiangzi spoke up for her.

"Xiao Mu, what are you holding?"

"cucumber."

"Cucumbers?" Xiangzi was a little confused. She knew that Xiaomu had this little hobby, but using such a bag to pack cucumbers seemed a bit strange no matter how she looked at it.

"...can't find any other bags."

"......"

"Are you going to give this to Su Shi, Xiao Mu?" Ayano, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and asked casually while looking at the cute classmate Xiao Mu.

This sentence also aroused Rina Nagasaki's interest. Although she didn't say anything, she was indeed curious about the things between these little girls.

It feels like watching a prime-time show in the evening, which is particularly interesting.

"I... yes, this is what Su Shi and I planted together before."

"That's indeed a nice gift." Nagasaki Rina, who was driving, smiled. She knew Wakaba Mu was a very introverted person, so she also gave him plenty of encouragement, "Don't worry, Xiao Mu, Su Shi will definitely like it."

.....

"Hurry up, get ready to go on stage."

"If you rush like that, something bad might happen~"

“LIVE….”

At the backstage entrance, five girls each held their own musical instrument and stood by the door waiting for their next performance.

There were far more people at today's LIVE than the last time they sang that impromptu song, but that was just because it was the weekend and had nothing to do with their unnamed band itself.

"Speaking of which, why don't we pick a name?"

"Shut up!"

"Woo..." Aiyin pouting, looked pitifully at Riki and Sushi who interrupted her at the same time, then ran to Xiaodeng to seek comfort.

This scene also made Li Xi's eyebrows twitch, but at the moment she was very nervous about today's performance, so she didn't pay too much attention to these little episodes.

"It's your turn~"

"Okay, senior..." Li Xi nodded, then turned around and looked at everyone in front of him, and began to call the roll, "Deng, Aine, Su Shi and Wildcat."

"Ok?"

"I..." Li Xi was stuck at the last moment again.

She found that she had learned from the last lesson and planned to say some nice words at this time, but when it came to the critical moment, she was really embarrassed to say those overly passionate words.

"I......."

"No, Rikki, please say something! I'm so anxious!"

"Shut up!" Li Xi yelled softly, then took a deep breath and summarized in her own way, "Keep going on the plan to get Ayano back..."

"......"

Looking at this unmotivated encouragement, Su Shi on the side shook his head helplessly, but was very cooperative and was the first to step forward and extend his hand.

Slowly, the hands of the other three people plus a cat's paw were placed on top. There were no more words, only Rinrinko's urging again.

"Okay, okay, here we come."

“…Really?”

Su Shi looked at everyone who was nervous and excited, and felt a little funny inside, but when she touched her heart again, she found with embarrassment that she herself was not much better.

But she has her own reasons. After all, among the people watching the LIVE today, there are people who are very important to her.

After Su Shi walked onto the stage with her bass, the first thing she did was to look at the faces of everyone in the audience, trying to find Xiaoxiang and his group.

But she searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of them.

At this moment, Su Shi suddenly panicked, and even Li Xi couldn't help but frown after seeing her eyes.

But the performance still had to go on. As the lights gradually focused on them, Li Xi, who had the arrow on the string ready to be shot, could only knock the drumstick and then lead everyone to start the performance of "Bi Tian Ban Zou".

But Su Shi was slow to get into the state.

Although...no one noticed that she was not in the right state.

But just when Su Shi thought that Xiaoxiang and the others would not come today, a person walked in from the side door opposite the stage.

Wait....was she seeing right?!

Although the first person who walked in was indeed followed by Xiaoxiang, Ayano, and Xiaomu, whom she wanted to see.

But why does this person leading the charge look like his own mother?!

"Sushi...focus!"

Just when Su Shi was distracted, she heard Aine's quiet reminder from the side, and she realized that she seemed to have forgotten to play the bass.
