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

And where did Ainin go? I just heard someone coming in from the entrance.

Did I hear it wrong? "

"..."

Looking at Aine who was holding her breath for no apparent reason and almost blushing, Ayano smiled and shouted outside:

"Aine has been in my room the whole time. Go to the living room first. We'll be there soon~"

Chapter 138 Eat first, take a bath first, or Watasi? ! (10 left)

What are these two doing in there? They've been dawdling for so long...

Shoko actually knew that Aine seemed to be in a bad mood today, because he was right next to Ayano when she was talking on the phone with Aine.

But she really didn't know why she was crying on the phone.

How about going in to check on Aine? After all, she was her roommate and a good friend of Ayano's. It would be a shame if she didn't say anything.

Out of politeness and curiosity, Xiangzi did not just follow Ayano's instructions and turn around and leave, but turned the doorknob and walked in.

"..."

"..."

As soon as he opened the door, Xiangzi immediately noticed that Aine looked at him with some nervousness and guilt, but Ayano was as calm as ever, and she put her arm around the pink-haired girl's waist while looking at her.

"This is what you are doing?"

“I…” Aine felt like she was really going crazy.

No, Toyokawa Shoko is crazy! This is a direct attack through the door.

Who did she learn this bad taste from? Isn't she most afraid of having someone else see her facial expression?

Fortunately, Ayano next to her was calm enough and took over her words to explain:

"Aine was feeling a little sad, and I was just trying to comfort her."

"Ah..." Shoko nodded hesitantly, then glanced at Aine with concern, then continued to ask Ayano, "Is she okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little aggrieved, it will be fine after some comforting."

Feeling the angry pink-haired girl pulling at her lower back, Ayano did not show any strangeness. Instead, she calmly let go of Aine's hand and walked down from the bed.

"OK then."

Seeing that there seemed to be nothing unusual about the two people and their reasons were indeed reasonable, Xiangzi stopped worrying about it.

But in her heart, she was indeed slightly complaining about this embarrassing pink-haired girl. Tsk... She actually ran directly to Ayano for comfort. She is still too weak.

This is far from the fact that she is strong and never cries.

Of course, when Xiangzi really sat on the sofa in the living room, he deliberately chose a position far away from Fanmao, not for any other reason, but simply because he didn't want to be infected by the weak virus.

"Ayano, what are you doing..."

"Cast the screen."

Ayano didn't explain too much. Although there was no projector or giant screen in the house, the viewing effect was a little worse, but the 65-inch Sony TV in front of her was enough to achieve the effect she wanted.

After all, good things should not only be shared with a willingness, but also the audience's sense of immersion and audio-visual enjoyment should be considered when sharing.

Most mobile phones nowadays can be connected directly to the screen projection function, so Ayano clicked play without wasting too much time. Then she saw the seat between Aine and Xiaoxiang that seemed to be reserved for her, and smiled as she sat down between them.

"Ayano, you actually recorded this?!"

"Hey, what is this..."

Two different voices were heard from the left and right, but Ayano, who was sitting between them, just smiled and didn't explain anything.

Compared to Xiangzi, one of the leading actors, who looked uncomfortable, Aine on the left seemed a little different, but she was more curious about the three people appearing in the video and the conversation that was about to take place between them.

Although this was taken with a mobile phone, the lighting is naturally a little poor, but surprisingly the clarity is quite good.

Moreover, it is easy to identify what the two people speaking in the video are saying.

"I'm going to take a shower..."

"What's the point of taking a shower? The floor was wet when I took a shower just now. Xiaoxiang, don't make excuses to avoid it."

"..."

How could she have such a nasty student?

Compared to Xiangzi who was becoming more and more uneasy, Aine's eyes were getting wider and wider. However, when she saw Suye say that Ayano would willingly withdraw, the expression on her face became a little unhappy.

But what really made her feel unbelievable was that while they were talking, classmate Su Shi, who was always very gentle to them, actually rushed to Xiangzi and hugged her arm.

"Wait, no, don't go!"

"That's not right. I really value you all and I love you all!"

"No! Oh Nega... Without you, Vatasi!"

"……Eh?"

Is this really the Sushi world?!

Also, the person who said with a ruthless face, "You only think about yourself", was actually Xiaoxiang, who she felt was a little arrogant after spending the past few days with him?

"Ayano-chan...how long has crychic been around?"

"Ask her."

Ayano didn't answer, but leaned back slightly and raised her chin towards Shoko, whose face was flushed red and looked like he had been publicly executed.

"...One month."

"Forehead."

"Can I go now?" Shoko realized how short a month was compared to Aine and the others' ten years, and he couldn't stay any longer. He ignored what Ayano said and stood up and muttered to himself, "I'm going back to the house."

However, when she passed by the TV and saw herself in the video shaking off her hands and leaving, she suddenly felt that it seemed too similar to the scene of her escape now.

"Is Xiaoxiang okay?"

Aine looked at Shoko, who was in a very unstable mood, and pulled Ayano's arm with some concern.

"It's okay. Only by viewing this clip from an outsider's perspective can she face herself and the other two people that night."

"..."

Aine opened her mouth, but ultimately no words came out.

You're saying she didn't feel happy when she saw Su Shi kneeling? That's unlikely.

After all, because of what happened today, she did have some resentment towards Su Shi in her heart, especially when she saw Su Shi ruthlessly saying that she would abandon Ayano, herself and Rana in order to keep Xiangzi.

But it is unlikely that she would mock Su Shi in the video without any hesitation.

Or perhaps through this video, she could feel more deeply how difficult it was for her and Ayano to get to where they are today, and she naturally moved a little closer to Ayano while sitting on the sofa.

"By the way, Aine, it seems you haven't eaten yet.

? ”

"Ah...it seems so."

"So what do you mean?" Ayano turned off the TV, then took out her phone and said to Aine, "Do you want to eat first, take a shower first, or eat first..."

At this point, she played the ringtone that had been cut on her phone, and a voice uttered to replace her next sentence, "Wataxi!"

"..."

"Choose one?"

"...Can I choose to spank you hard for Sushi-san?"

Chapter 139: After leaving the group, walking back on the auspicious path (1/2)

Nagasaki Suyo returned home with the ingredients and looked at her mother who took the bag from her and was busy in the kitchen with a smile. She finally felt the reality of life.

The night lights softly sprinkle on the living room on the top floor of the 45-story luxury apartment building. Stars are twinkling outside the window, and the city's neon lights are flashing, reflecting the warm atmosphere inside the house.

Su Shi walked to the dining table and sat down. She supported her chin and looked gently at her mother Nagasaki Rina who was busy in the kitchen.

The mother skillfully processed the various ingredients, occasionally turning back to smile at Su Shi, her eyes full of love. A warm current surged in Su Shi's heart, and this time was what she cherished most at the moment.

From the kitchen came the sounds of pots and pans colliding and food boiling, mixed with the aroma of food that filled the entire room.

Su Shi felt that her stomach was getting hungry, but she enjoyed the process of waiting more, because at this moment of waiting she could always see good results slowly approaching her.

Although she has never met the person who asked her mother to change her job location and work pressure, she is indeed very grateful to the other person in her heart, and grateful that he gave her the greatest comfort when she was confused.

Soon, Rina came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of hot dishes. She placed the dishes on the table, each dish full of love: golden fried shrimp, steaming miso soup, the vegetable minestrone she had just suggested, and a plate of fresh fruit salad.

Su Shi watched all this intently and felt the long-lost taste of home.

"Okay, let's eat!" Rina said gently, placing the last dish on the table. She sat down opposite Sushi, picked up her chopsticks, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work today, Sushi. These are your favorite dishes."

"Well, I'll start then~"

Although the dishes on the table were a bit too much for two people, the most important thing was to be able to taste my mother's cooking.

Actually, looking back, my mother really hasn't had time to cook for a long time. When I was young, my mother didn't have to be so busy with work, so she still had a lot of time to cook at home.

Later, my parents divorced, and all the pressure of life fell on my mother alone, so she naturally didn't have the time and energy.

Although Su Shi is about 1.62 meters tall, which is considered tall among her peers, she does not eat much every day because she lives alone all year round and is too lazy to cook big fish and meat.

Sometimes I am so busy with club and band activities that when I get home I can only have fast food or high-end bento bought from the supermarket for dinner.

"Su Shi, you must have had a quarrel with your friends, right?"

"……Um."

"If I remember correctly, it seems that your former junior high school friend is Toyokawa Shoko, and your recently met friend Mizushima Ayano, right?" Nagasaki Rina asked knowingly.

Seeing her daughter's unhappy expression, she could only sigh and comfort her, "Su Shi, in fact, there are some things you should learn to think from other people's perspectives."

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes?"

Su Shi's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something.

"Yeah, they all have their reasons for doing that, why they don't want you to know, and what they're doing and thinking when you don't know."

Although Nagasaki Rina was talking about Ayano in every word, she did not realize that her daughter in front of her was actually referring to Shoko in her mind.

From Su Shi's perspective, she did have some guesses that she wanted to verify.

After all, when she learned yesterday that her mother had lost her job, the feeling of helplessness and the first thought of not wanting to consider anything other than her interests, hobbies and interpersonal relationships in life made her feel inexplicably familiar.

Yes, if it really came to the point where she had become a puppet, at the mercy of the world, what right did she have to pursue those hobbies?

Others can buy a board with their pocket money, but I probably can't afford it even after working for a year. Even if I can afford it, I won't be willing to buy it...

Then, because I gradually couldn't keep up with my friends, I realized that I was no longer on the same path as them, and I also wanted to escape from these relationships.

All of this seemed to match Xiangzi's appearance at that time!

"Mom, I've made up my mind."

"Hmm? What's been decided?"

“I still want to do part-time work.”

Although Su Shi could not objectively confirm whether Xiangzi was what she thought, she had already unilaterally confirmed her guess in her heart.

"Didn't I say..."

"I also want to experience my mother's daily life~" Su Shi lied with a smile on her face, but she did have such thoughts in her heart. "It can also be regarded as training for myself, is it okay?"

"Okay." Nagasaki Rina couldn't persuade her daughter, so she could only agree lovingly.

After the mother and daughter had their meal, they returned to their room.

Su Shi picked up the phone and dialed the agency again.

"Yes, I've thought about it."

"I want to ask if you know the name of the high school girl who applied for the position at that company before? Oh... you can't tell me, sorry."

"Could you recommend me for an interview?"

"Tomorrow... well, tomorrow is the weekend, I should be able to go there in the morning. Thank you, Mr. Tanaka."
