There was no change in Xiangzi's expression. It could be said that she had no interest in Chaoyang's words and continued speaking.
"It doesn't matter. To me, that money actually means more symbolically than practically."
Chaoyang didn't quite understand what it meant.
"You don't need to understand."
When Xiangzi said this, his expression was as cold as usual.
Chaoyang was interested at this time and wanted to see how she did it.
"I'll let you witness my methods later."
"There's one more thing I need you to take care of. It's about my girlfriend's band... your former teammates... They're currently..."
"It has nothing to do with me. Even if you're an investor, it doesn't mean you can order me around. At least before I lose the bet and become yours."
Xiangzi's eyes were wandering at first, but he finally shifted his gaze to the street outside the transparent glass and spoke.
"Is that so?"
Chaoyang was not surprised by the answer. He had completely felt from Xiangzi her rejection of those people.
It was this rejection that urged her to stop living like this and to regain her previous glory at any cost.
Chaoyang also got up and left.
To be honest, Chaoyang had always thought she was pretty, with the soft curve of her neck being very beautiful. But now she made him a little uncomfortable, with her condescending manner and the air of looking down on others.
Chaoyang had a keen premonition that she had become completely utilitarian due to certain stimulations. In fact, he could feel it from her words last night.
After leaving the cafe, Chaoyang thought about trying to gather intelligence before solving the problem. As for the person who knew the most about Nagasaki Suyo...
-----------
月之森
"..."
Ruo Yemu was tending to the vegetables in the gardening department. It was one of her few peaceful moments. She felt that everything she had, including the things in her home, was not hers. Only the vegetables before her were hers. Only when she saw them could she confirm her own value and that she had left a mark on this world.
"Hey, cucumbers, they look delicious. Can I pick one to try?"
"..."
Suddenly, a strange man's voice came from beside Ruo Yemu.
Wakaba Mutsu was not panicked at all, but his delicate face, like a doll, looked to the side listlessly, seeing an adult wearing casual clothes.
It was Chaoyang. He had seen Wakaba Mu among the members of Group C before.
And it was after Nagasaki Suyo failed to find Xiangzi with the help of Wakaba Mutsu that she found herself.
Theoretically, Ruo Ye Mu is the person with the most God's perspective now.
So Chaoyang wanted to find her to get information.
If Ye Mu planned to leave him.
At this moment, Chaoyang grabbed Wakaba Mu's arm.
"Mu-chan, right? I'm from the Toyokawa family... nominally, I'm also Xiangzi's fiancé, and our two families are somewhat related. I'd like to ask you about the situation, is that okay?"
"No."
Ruoye Mu looked away somewhat unhappily and refused directly.
"You are friends with Nagasaki Suyo and Xiangzi, right? They are also my friends."
Ruoye Mu still didn't speak.
"Even if Xiangzi becomes my plaything, you don't mind? You should know my bad reputation, right? If you help me, I can cancel the engagement."
Chaoyang was certain that Xiangzi would not tell Ruoye Mu about the gambling agreement.
"What do you want to know?"
Wakaba Mu finally wants to cooperate.
"Has Nagasaki Suyo always wanted you and Xiangzi to go back and form a band?"
"Ah."
Chaoyang's guess was confirmed. Although Su Shi had mentioned this matter before, she fooled him and only said that she wanted to apologize to Xiangzi.
The ultimate goal is to reorganize the previous band, so she will definitely kick Pochi out in the end.
"This bastard woman..."
It's hard to say about Pochi now. If it was the Pochi who hadn't experienced all these things at the beginning, it wouldn't be surprising that he committed suicide by hanging himself after being knocked out.
"..."
When Ruoye Mu heard Chaoyang insulting Su Shi, he frowned and was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"You'd better be careful. Xiangzi has changed. She used to be stubborn, but now it seems like she has converted everything into digital value. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to me, someone she hates the most, for help. I know you're her friend and childhood sweetheart, but don't let her take advantage of you. You'll be the one who gets hurt. Sometimes it's better to be a little selfish."
Chaoyang looked at the girl in front of him, sighed, and gave her some advice.
He had asked about Wakaba Mutsuki at the Toyokawa family. He had been treated as an exquisite exhibit by his family since he was a child. It goes without saying that he had performed talent shows with his family. Every time an important person came to visit his home, Wakaba Mutsuki was treated like a work of art and was evaluated and commented on in front of everyone.
She now has almost no reaction to outside discussions. Her ability to automatically ignore other people's comments, praises, or criticisms is thanks to her family.
"Live for yourself. If you live entirely for others, what is the meaning of your life?"
Chaoyang looked at Ruoye Mu with pity.
"..."
"boom!"
When Chaoyang turned his back, Ruoye Mu threw the kettle in his hand towards Chaoyang's back with an expressionless face.
Chaoyang felt his shoulders getting wet, then turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"Oh, isn't this going to make you angry? Remember to stay like this."
302. "Kidnap" the Mutou people
"But you're really too much, you blockhead. As compensation for getting my designer clothes wet, go on a date with me."
After saying this, Chaoyang took advantage of the situation and walked towards Wakaba Mu.
"…don't want…"
Ruoye Mu was about to turn around and leave, but Chaoyang grabbed her hand without saying a word, and while no one was around, he put his arm around her waist and clamped the petite Ruoye Mu directly around his waist. Chaoyang bent her knees slightly, then bounced up, like an arrow from a bow, and jumped over the high school wall.
Ruo Ye Mu subconsciously closed her eyes tightly. She didn't know what to do at this moment. It was the first time she encountered such a direct approach.
What she had suffered the most before were comments, stares, cameras, and flashes, but it was enough to ignore them. She had always lived in a safe environment, and this was the first time she encountered someone like Chaoyang who directly took her for parkour.
She felt that she should shout and make a scene, but that seemed to violate the etiquette taught to her by her parents and school, which required her to remain calm and elegant in all situations.
"Ruoye-san~ Today... huh? You were watering the plants just now, where have you been?"
Just after Chaoyang and Wakaba Mu disappeared, other members of the gardening club came over and wanted to politely ask Wakaba Mu if he wanted to have afternoon tea.
But at this time only the kettle was left on the ground.
The classmate held his face and thought for a while before giving up the pursuit. Ruo Yemu had always been a loner and didn't interact with others, so he thought she had just gone home or to her talent class.
At this time, Chaoyang was holding Wakaba Mutsu in his arms and doing parkour on the roof of a building in the Mejiro area of Tokyo, moving between the rooftops while paying attention to Wakaba Mutsu's condition.
Ruoye Mu just stared at the scenery with her eyes open. Although she showed no reaction on the surface, there was a hint of fear and confusion in her heart. She didn't know what Chaoyang wanted to do to her.
"You really are a wooden man. You showed some changes just now, but now you are back to your dull look."
In fact, Chaoyang took her away because he wanted to ask her in detail about the previous situation of Group C and the specific situation of Su Shi, but they were actually climbing over the wall to enter the Moon Forest. If they were discovered, although Chaoyang himself didn't care, it would be more or less bad for the Toyokawa family.
"Kidnapping" Ruoye Mu's words would not matter. Chaoyang knew that the two families had some friendship. After all, the Ruoye family was just a new generation of rich people who did not dare to confront the old-established chaebol Toyokawa family. Even if they asked about it, they could just send someone to apologize.
This is also one of the reasons why Ruoye Mu was frightened at this time but not too much.
Although her personality made her less likely to resist, Chaoyang was someone she knew well enough.
The two families had discussed a marriage before, but Chaoyang's father gave up the idea.
He saw that Ruo Yemu had no opinion of his own and was completely incapable of taking charge of Chaoyang, so he gave up.
"..."
"You're really surprised that I managed to stay calm even after jumping two stories high."
Looking at Wakaba Mu who was lying on his waist and looking very obedient, Chaoyang made a complaint.
"It's rare... but some people can do it."
After hearing Chaoyang's words, Ruoye Mu finally stopped remaining silent.
Chaoyang didn't know that in Bang Bang's world, there was a blonde lady named Hanasakigawa (Shin Genmaki) who could easily jump from the third floor and then do several consecutive cartwheels without any injury.
"what?"
"So this world isn't the world of ordinary humans? ...But I remember it was just a regular band show, right?"
I've only watched a few episodes of Bangdream's Chaoyang, and I kind of regret not watching the rest.
Chaoyang suddenly slowed down and stopped at a relatively flat rooftop. He gently put Ruoye down.
"Okay, let's talk here."
"…time for ballet class."
"That kind of thing is fine, you don't want to do it yourself."
"..."
Ruoye Mu had no intention of speaking at all.
To be honest, after Chaoyang looked carefully, he found that Ruo Yemu was really very cute and easily attracted attention. Even among the crowd of Miss Yue Zhisen, he looked particularly elegant.
But unfortunately, she is a wooden person, so Chaoyang has no improper thoughts about her.
"Can you tell me about Group C?"
"..."
"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go."
Ruoye Mu walked straight to the passage on the roof without saying a word and planned to go down by himself, but when he turned the handle, it was locked.
So she wanted to call her family, but Chaoyang naturally would not give her the chance and snatched her phone away.
"what!"
Chaoyang's behavior finally made her expression change again.
Like a child whose toy was taken away by an adult, the corners of his eyes drooped.
"If you hadn't looked so pitiful earlier, I might not have had the heart to bully you. Now your friends are about to be ruined, are you really going to not help at all?"
"I can not do it."
Ruoye Mu lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, as if she was separated from this world by an invisible membrane.
"...Everything around me was arranged by my parents. I have never been able to do anything on my own."
"Haha...so there's nothing you want to do?"
"No."
"Like rebelling against your own parents."
"No... Can you just let me go after telling you what you want?"
Ruo Yemu began to feel a little restless because he had already missed the time arranged by his parents.
I couldn't help but feel scared and frightened. Although my parents didn't hit me or even scold me, just being stared at and questioned by them made the air I breathed feel like it was burning, making my internal organs extremely uncomfortable.
Finally compromised with Chaoyang.
"Yeah. Well, that's my goal."
