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

Rina Nagasaki felt like she was an evil genius.

This excuse is too reasonable. Any reasonable boss would agree to let his beloved daughter visit the company as long as it does not delay work.

What's more, the president of the company is her best friend. How can she seek justice?

Did she deliberately reveal Ayano's little secret that she wanted to hide? No~

But if Su Shi discovered something, it would only be an accident, right? Although this was a mistake at work, who made her "stupid"?

As long as I stick out my tongue and put on a serious face to act cute even at my age, a good girl like Ayano will definitely forgive me.

After all, good intentions led to bad results, but in the final analysis, it was still good intentions.

Wow, this is the wisdom of adults. Although little Ayano is beautiful and smart, she is still no match for the evil adults.

"I..." Su Shi was a little surprised. She never expected her mother to say such a thing.

This really made her feel happy. After all, she also wanted to know more about her mother's work, whether her mother was usually tired, whether the lunch she ate at the company was nutritious, etc.

But why hadn't her mother ever mentioned this issue before?

Ah...it seems it’s because of today’s LIVE.

Although Li Xi's original intention was to make Ayano moved by their singing, moved to the point of being moved again

Back to them, the issue now is no longer what Ayano thinks.

Su Shi felt that the person who was most moved by this LIVE might be herself.

When Ayano received that call from Aine, she probably never thought about her own problems, because that's just how Ayano is. When she was saddest, when she knew there were bad people in the band, she only thought about others.

And this time was the same. She knew that she would definitely feel guilty, confused, and hesitant about whether her "betrayal" was right.

But Ayano was more determined than herself. While she was still hesitating whether to do this, Ayano had already figured everything out.

Her words just proved all of this. Yes... follow your heart, and Ayano's heart... is to hope that everyone in the past can find their own happiness.

But wouldn't this be too unfair to Ayano?

Because she didn't know her current mental state, she contacted her mother through the relationship between adults, and then spent a morning talking to her mother to understand her situation.

After learning some basic information, they even brought her mother to the scene.

The mother realized her shining side on the stage, and she also received the supportive gazes of the four people in the audience. After returning home, the wall between mother and daughter was finally completely broken.

At this moment, Su Shi felt that he was really too lucky.

It seems like everything has been getting better over the past month, but what is the price...and how many people's tears?

"Mom." Su Shi looked at her expectant mother and nodded with a smile, "I will go tomorrow. I've been looking forward to it for a long time~"

Chapter 236: The tenderness deep in Ayano's heart makes her so ashamed (still 16)

"Mizushima-san, why do you look so listless? Were you too busy studying yesterday and didn't get enough rest?"

In the classroom, Mizushima Ayano felt a little sleepy. She indeed did not sleep well, but it was obviously not what her homeroom teacher Nagase Kazushige said.

Seeing many girls in the classroom looking at her with curiosity and worry, Ayano felt a little helpless.

"No...teacher."

Ayano yawned, and her sleepy eyes and open mouth made some crazy girls' eyes sparkle.

But for Nagase Kazushige who was standing in front of her, this was a sign that Ayano was lying.

She was already so sleepy, what else could a high school girl be so sleepy at home on the weekend? If it were someone else, Nagase would think that she was probably out karaoke or somewhere to eat and have fun with some good friends.

I was so sleepy because I was tired after a whole night and stayed up late playing games and using my phone.

But who is this? It's Mizushima Ayano!

The girl in front of him was known for her cold personality. According to inquiries, her only close friend at school seemed to be Chihaya Aine, but recently these two seemed to have rarely been together, which was a bit of a headache for Nagase.

I originally thought it was a good thing for the girl to have a friend to talk to, but now it seems that, let alone falling in love with someone, it is difficult for the girl in front of me to even find a same-sex friend of the same age.

So going out with friends to have fun might be ruled out.

Similarly, because the girl showed no interest in anything, she even tried hard to do well in studying only because she believed it was a student's responsibility.

In other words, this overly beautiful girl's extracurricular life is really too boring. If it continues like this... she will go crazy.

If it is not released, big problems will arise sooner or later!

"Mizushima-san...you don't really need to study so hard."

"But didn't the teacher call me to the office and scold me for not getting a 95 or above on the test?"

"what?"

Nagase Kazushige suddenly felt that the students around her seemed to be casting resentful glances at her. No...how could she have scolded them at that time?

Why did it suddenly feel like Ayano in front of me was deliberately playing a prank? But after thinking about it... that shouldn't be the case, right?

Mizushima-san is a good student with excellent character and academic performance. A good student would never do such a thing!

"Anyway, I'll find an opportunity to visit your home. I feel like you're working too hard, Ayano. It's not a good thing to continue like this. Everything should be done in moderation..."

Forget it, you should have a good rest today. If you feel sleepy during class, just sleep. I will tell the other teachers."

"Ah..." Ayano didn't expect that after fighting with Xiangzi all night yesterday, she could enjoy such treatment the next day.

I just don’t know if Xiaoxiang next door has received such treatment.

"Toyokawa-san, what's wrong with you? You weren't paying attention in class and even fell asleep. Your grades on the last test also dropped a bit... Are you in a relationship right now?"

On the other side, Xiangzi, who was called into the office for a talk, was embarrassed and didn't dare to refute a word what the head teacher said.

Of course, she still had to correct the last sentence.

At least... the love the other person is talking about is different from what I am doing now!

But, I don't know how long this kind of life can last...

Toyokawa Shoko listened to the teacher's words of concern in the questioning, but her thoughts were already

It has drifted far away.

.......

The last class in the afternoon, in the classroom of Group A of the first grade of Tsukinomori Girls' Academy.

Nagasaki Suyo sat in her seat and hesitated for a long time before finally standing up and walking in front of Wakaba Mutsu.

In fact, she really didn't know how to start, because Su Shi found that she didn't know Xiao Mu as well as she thought.

She seemed to have never paid much attention to the other person's thoughts, or rather... all her attention was only superficial.

"Xiao Mu..."

"Su Shi?"

Ruoye Mu looked at Su Shi who suddenly stood in front of her with some surprise, but she didn't remain surprised for too long. Instead, she packed her schoolbag as usual and planned to follow Su Shi out of the classroom.

But Su Shi was a little different today. Although Ruo Yemu had already gotten used to just staying by the girl's side silently, and just having that sense of security was enough, she was still a little dazed when Su Shi took her to the small vegetable garden.

"That little cucumber...Xiao Mu and I have been growing it for a long time."

"……Um."

Su Shi felt a little distressed when she heard Xiao Mu's slightly trembling voice.

Yes... When group C broke up, Xiaomu was the last one to leave, but that departure was only from the band. Xiaomu never left in life.

"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." Su Shi lowered her head and said with some guilt, "Xiao Mu must be very sad. All this time, I was just thinking about how to bring Xiao Xiang back and make up for the past...

Xiao Mu, you must think I'm too ungrateful. I should have let go of all this a long time ago, but I'm always clinging to the good old days."

"No." Ruo Ye Mu shook her head, but there was no way of knowing what exactly she meant by "no".

"Xiao Mu, can I still accept that cucumber..."

When he said this, Su Shi's heartbeat became a little nervous.

The next sentence from Xiao Mu made her smile bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I...already gave it to Ayano."

"Ah, yeah, is that so?" Su Shi smiled awkwardly, but what surprised her even more was that after Xiao Mu said this, the other party added another sentence.

"Ayano asked me to tell you..."

"say what?"

Seeing Su Shi's impatient look, Ruo Yemu was also slightly startled, but he quickly recovered his composure and said with a faint smile:

"Ayano said that the best gift for Suyo is the shared experience of growing cucumbers together and the continuation of that experience. She already has such a good gift, so it's understandable that she wants to share this slightly lesser gift with others."

"...Is that so? Ayano...so that's what she thinks."

Su Shi didn't know that Ayano's nonsense was just to comfort Xiao Mu, but she felt like she was struck by lightning after hearing this.

It turns out...she really is the dumbest one.

Ayano had already understood everything. As a careful person like her, she had already known what was most important to her.

Unfortunately, she didn't think so at the time. She was not that great... She was just a bad woman who was immersed in herself.

However, sometimes lying is unavoidable.

Looking at Xiao Mu, who had a look of anticipation in his eyes, Su Shi smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiao Mu... from today on, let's grow cucumbers together again."

Chapter 237 Everyone who is a red ginger, it’s time to put on a mask (2/2)

"You're so slow, I've been waiting for you for so long."

At the school gate, Toyokawa Shoko stood by the campus wall with her hands folded in front of her. She looked well-behaved, like a young lady. But when she saw Ayano walking out from the side, her calm eyes instantly became more colorful.

Of course, putting aside her inner excitement, she pretended to be quite calm on the surface.

After all, this is still a school. If someone notices something, or if Aine catches her on the spot, then Toyokawa Shoko will really disappear from this earth.

"Let's go, where are you going to take me to buy musical instruments today?"

"The place we went to last time, right? It's near the one you asked me to go to the first time. There are many other music shops there."

"Hmm?" Ayano looked at Xiaoxiang, who wanted to hold her hand but was embarrassed, with some surprise. "Didn't you say that Ochanomizu is a bit far and you can buy these in Ikebukuro, so there's no need?"

"......"

"Oh, I see. Revisiting an old place...it's a different feeling~"

"Just understand it, don't say it out loud."

"Why are you so shy?" Ayano looked at Xiaoxiang gently, without deliberately doing anything out of the ordinary. She just raised her chin and said, "Let's go. Oh, by the way... I won't be going to rehearsal at the company today. Is that okay?"

"You are the president's daughter, who dares to say anything to you..."

Toyokawa Shoko rolled her eyes. In her heart, she was indeed a little unhappy about Ayano's recent laziness in music. Of course...it seemed a little inappropriate for her, the culprit, to say this.

No, this can't go on.

How can you just flip cards and ignore the affairs of state?

"But we have to go tomorrow, especially you. The next LIVE is this Sunday, and you'll be the lead singer, so don't embarrass me by going on stage."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Ayano nodded, then grabbed Xiaoxiang's arm and pushed him onto the train.

On the way to Ochanomizu, both of them had somewhat subtle expressions. After all, the last time they took this train was when they just met.

At that time, Ayano herself had never thought that the music would bring her such a big surprise.

Xiangzi never thought that he found a job for himself, but would eventually sacrifice himself for his employer.

"Come to think of it...why did you say you didn't want to study anymore? Did you say that on purpose, or did you really not want to study?"

"do not know."

".......What?" Xiangzi's expression became a little unhappy. After all, what kind of answer was this?

"I mean... because I don't know, I can't do it." Ayano smiled, looking at Xiaoxiang who was puffing up his nose and acting like a spoiled child, and explained with a bit of amusement, "In fact, many people are not self-disciplined, but they practice self-discipline because they know the benefits of self-discipline.

Just like learning the piano, I can't have the urgent desire to learn it until I know what it can bring me.

Although I admit that I wanted to learn this at that time, partly because of your performance, Xiaoxiang, and partly because it would make Aine happy.

But later, as you gradually understood it, it was for myself.”
