Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

After being stunned for a few seconds, Liu Hao's reaction was even more exaggerated than Nagasaki Suye had imagined. He trembled all over as if his hair stood on end, raised his head and opened his eyes wide, which was completely different from his usual relaxed appearance. He looked helpless, as if his hands didn't know they were feet and his eyes didn't know they were a nose.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Don't move, I'm wiping your face."

It was precisely because of Liu Hao's abnormal behavior that Nagasaki Suyo helped him wipe the dirt off his face bit by bit more seriously. Their faces were very close at this time, and Nagasaki Suyo could clearly see Liu Hao's slightly open lips and twitching nose, as well as the complex emotions of surprise, confusion, sadness, and hesitation in his eyes.

However, this kind of emotional expression did not last long, and Liu Hao quickly returned to his usual self.

"Even if you change your strategy now, it's useless. Some people are soft-hearted and won't respond to hardship, but I'm different. I have a heart of stone and won't respond to soft or hard tactics."

"Yes, you have rejected me so many times. You are indeed a heartless person."

Nagasaki Suyo half-knelt in front of Liu Hao, carefully examining his face. After finding the last spot of sweat, she gently wiped it away for him. Then she said with satisfaction, "It's much cleaner and fresher now. Didn't you pay attention to it yourself? You almost looked like a harlequin cat just now."

"..."

Liu Hao looked at the gentle girl in front of him, moved his lips, but finally stopped talking.

Nagasaki Suyo was also looking at Liu Hao and thinking, maybe you are not that complicated?

(P.S. Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone, and may you be healthy forever.)

Volume 30: Chapter Chapter No matter how willful you are, it’s time to end it

Nagasaki Suyo's mentality began to change slightly.

Some things can only be understood after being witnessed with one's own eyes. Even though she still held on to the belief of playing both sides, the girl could no longer simply regard Liu Hao as a bad guy with ulterior motives.

In the afternoon, Nagasaki Suyo still followed Liu Hao closely to class.

Liu Hao felt pity for her in his heart, but he did not indulge this persistent girl at all. When Nagasaki Su Shi was called by the computer introduction teacher to answer a question, Liu Hao pretended not to understand her and did not translate for her. He left her alone for a few minutes, and she stood there awkwardly. Later, the teacher realized that Su Shi was speaking Japanese and not dialect, and then he let her sit down.

"Liu Hao, you are truly a gentleman."

Nagasaki Suyo sat upright, with a smile on her face, but sarcasm could be heard in her sweet voice.

"That's right. I'm a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment." Liu Hao suppressed a smile and said, "This is a good lesson for you. Never think that an adult is easy to manipulate. Su Shi, don't be so naive."

"Well, I've learned a lesson."

Nagasaki Suyo twirled her hair. She couldn't really say she was angry, for she still felt guilty for treating Liu Hao like a villain. She just found it a bit strange, this feeling of being both an enemy and a friend; she had never experienced such a strange relationship before.

And the girl soon got the chance to take revenge.

After the first class in the afternoon, Liu Haoru went to the milk tea shop on the commercial street in front of the school to work part-time as usual, and Nagasaki Suye naturally followed him.

Liu Hao was taking orders, adding ice and refilling condiments behind the bar, while Nagasaki Sushi was sitting outside with her chin propped up, watching Liu Hao busying around.

The boss lady not only did not object to Nagasaki Suyo's behavior of occupying a seat and watching, but also treated her to a cup of milk tea for free. It can only be said that the boss lady deserves to make money. Her sense of smell is really too sharp. With such a beautiful girl as a natural billboard, the business in the store is more than twice as good as usual.

So according to the law of conservation of smiles, the smile on the boss lady's face was naturally transferred from the face of Liu Hao, who was busy all the time.

"What a generous auntie! China is indeed a country of etiquette."

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Liu Hao with a smile on her face, and the latter, apart from glaring at her, didn't even want to bother saying anything for the time being.

The sky was dark, the moonlight was dim, and the streetlights, car lights and neon lights on the streets turned the city of steel forest into a night that was not dark. So the playful wind that passed through all this still carried a hint of heat, blowing across the light clothes of men and women.

"Sushi-kun, it's getting dark."

At the foot of the university dormitory, Liu Hao stopped, and the girl behind him also stopped. She stood gracefully under the street light, like a daffodil blooming in the night.

"Ah."

"So no matter how willful you are, it's time to end it. Don't make your family worry."

Nagasaki Sushi pursed her lips, she looked up slightly at Liu Hao and said, "She won't worry."

Liu Hao noticed that the girl was talking about a single finger, not them, but there was no need to pursue these details at this time. He said unhappily, "It's been a day, and you still haven't calmed down?"

"I told you, if you don't let me see Xiaoxiang, I won't leave."

Nagasaki Suyo held the bag in both hands, and at least on the surface she still looked very determined.

"Girls are not allowed to enter the dormitory building."

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs until the next day."

"I told you I'll leave you alone."

"I didn't ask you to take care of it."

"You really don't want to leave?"

"Don't go."

"Then please do as you please."

Liu Hao looked at Nagasaki Suye deeply, then walked into the dormitory unit without looking back. After all, Liu Hao was not omnipotent, and he could only deal with the girl's stubborn behavior coldly.

As soon as he walked into the dormitory hall, Liu Hao was surrounded by his roommates who had just been crowded on the balcony watching the live broadcast.

"What's going on? It's so late and you haven't sent the high school student home yet?" Zhang Pan teased, "Are they arguing downstairs?"

Liu Hao said helplessly: "I guess so."

"Huh? What's your relationship like? How could you even quarrel?"

"It's a complicated relationship..." Liu Hao shrugged, then changed the subject and said sarcastically, "Don't be fooled by her cute and gentle appearance. She's in adolescence and a rebellious phase, and she's stubborn. She's really hard to deal with."

"What's going on? What are you two up to?" Zheng Ke poked his head out from the balcony and asked, "Are you planning to leave her alone downstairs?"

"Nonsense, that's definitely not possible. I just want her to be alone and calm down for a while."

Liu Hao walked behind Zheng Ke, stood on tiptoe and looked down through the gap in the railing. At this time, Nagasaki Suyo had found a bench and sat down, with her schoolbag aside, her hands covering her knees, her long hair hanging down, and the shadow covering her cheeks so that the expression on the girl's face could not be seen clearly. She looked calm, as if she really intended to sit there until the next day.

In fact, Nagasaki Suyo herself was not sure what she should do. She knew that she was being unreasonable now, or she had been being unreasonable from the beginning. But it was precisely because she was confused and could not find the way back to the good old days that the girl felt that she had grasped the only life-saving straw and held on to it tightly, not wanting to let go.

At the beginning, Nagasaki Suyo could use the reason that Liu Hao was a bad person with ulterior motives to justify her actions, but now she can no longer deceive herself.

What made Nagasaki Suyo even more confused was that she realized that sometimes she was not just pretending to be nice, nor was her mind obsessed with how to get news about Xiangzi from Liu Hao. Instead, she temporarily forgot all the purpose and immersed herself in this wonderful experience. It was the relationship she had always wanted, where she could express her true feelings and rely on each other...

So Nagasaki Suyo was very confused and frightened. She felt as if she had betrayed Xiangzi and CRYCHIC because she did not put her wholehearted efforts to win back everyone in the band. Instead, she was distracted and developed an interest in other things that she should not have, which made her feel deeply guilty.

So, what should I do? ...What should I do?

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head. In this confusion, the girl realized for the first time that she was in a foreign country in another world. The familiar feeling of boundless loneliness filled her body and mind. She wanted to bury her face in her knees like she used to, so that she could warm herself...

"I really lost to you."

Along with this familiar voice, there was also a cup of steaming water. Nagasaki Suyo raised her head, and Liu Hao's face seemed to be glowing under the street light.

Volume 31: Chapter Chapter I Lost to You

"I'm not thirsty."

"Why are you being so stubborn? I made milk tea, and I don't even know the exact ratio of saccharin and non-dairy creamer in it." Liu Hao forced a disposable cup of water into Nagasaki Suye's hand. "It's not like I didn't see you take a sip. I was just pretending the rest of the time."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo held a disposable paper cup. The wall of the cup and the water temperature were both emitting a faint heat, warming her palms. She raised it and took a sip with her dry lips. The warm water flowed through her throat and into her stomach. It was a temperature that nourished her heart.

Liu Hao sat down next to Nagasaki Suyo and suddenly felt a little dazed. Under the moonlight and street lights, he sat on a bench in the breeze with the girl. The only difference was that this was Binjiang, not Tokyo, and the person next to him was Nagasaki Suyo, not Toyokawa Shoko. She might be gentle or strong, but there was confusion in the girl's soul. Was this also a coincidence?

No, they are connected together by the Gravity Unicom package at the same time, which is probably not an ordinary coincidence.

"You said you lost to me."

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head and held a paper cup. Her long, smooth hair on both sides of her temples covered the girl's profile, making it impossible to see the confusion in her eyes.

Liu Hao stretched his body, lowered his arms, and said, "I can't help it. You've successfully kidnapped me morally. I can't really leave you here all night."

"So you want me to meet Xiaoxiang?"

"You wish! I'm a person of firm principles. It's impossible for me to compromise like this."

Nagasaki Sushi was not surprised by Liu Hao's direct rejection. The girl's fingers unconsciously rubbed the wall of the paper cup and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Liu Hao did not answer directly, but remained silent for a while.

This place is near the dormitory building and does not seem very quiet. Many students who have just finished evening self-study and of course more have eaten supper outside are passing by one after another. The night obscures the beautiful beauty of Nagasaki Sushi, so the two of them did not attract much attention. Only the moonlight and the breeze silently passed between the man and woman, brewing a hazy halo in the silence.

"You said you had a dream of music, right?"

"Ah."

Nagasaki Suyo responded softly, seemingly lacking confidence, and also physically and mentally exhausted after being rejected.

Liu Hao continued, "In that case, I think you can start a band again."

"No." Nagasaki Suyo raised her head and said softly, "A band without Xiaoxiang in the old days wouldn't be the CRYCHIC it once was. I don't want a band like that."

Liu Hao blinked, looked directly at the girl and said, "So, your dream is actually to realize your musical dream with Xiangzi, right?"

"……Um."

"Do you think you can still do it now?"

Nagasaki Suyo frowned slightly, looked at Liu Hao's face and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. I just think life is more than just the present moment. Just because things are unavoidable doesn't mean they won't change in the future." Liu Hao said, "I think the thing you and Xiangzi share in common, besides friendship, is music, right? It would be a shame if we didn't maintain this shared language that could last a lifetime."

Liu Hao's voice was flat, but his words were sincere. He felt that Nagasaki Suyo had been obsessed with the past because she had no motivation to move forward. If she could form a band again to distract her attention, perhaps she would not be as obsessed as she is now.

More importantly, Liu Hao believes that things cannot remain unchanged forever, and a proud and strong person like Xiangzi will sooner or later be able to get out of the trough of life.

From Xiangzi's previous band formation and the elegance of her piano playing, it's clear she possesses musical talent and aspirations. Long afterward, looking back on her own naiveté and immaturity, the past will seem but a passing cloud. They share the same musical aspirations, a natural language and shared memories. Perhaps, even after overcoming adversities, they can finally reunite and put aside their grudges.

"Is this so..."

Liu Hao's concise explanation made Nagasaki Suye think deeply. It was not necessarily that Liu Hao's words made sense, but the girl now needed a step, a method that might be useful, to guide her direction.

Liu Hao continued to give the girl a chance and said, "Give it a try. Maybe I'll be moved by your friendship and change my principles."

"Really?"

In response to Nagasaki Suyo's question, Liu Hao said, "It may not be true. I am a heartless person. If it is not a friendship that is as profound as the heavens and the earth, I will not even look at it."

"Ah--"

Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips and smiled, laughing at Liu Hao's "heart of stone" and also at her own powerlessness. She had been given so many excuses and really couldn't continue to act unreasonably.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble today."

Nagasaki Suyo stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Hao, covering her skirt.

Liu Hao accepted the bow and said with emotion: "You finally have self-awareness. It's not easy."

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at Liu Hao and smiled, "But I didn't say I was going to give up."

"Then I take back what I said." Liu Hao sighed pretentiously and said, "Alas, when you grow up you will understand my good intentions...Pfft——"

Before the pretentious tone could make Nagasaki Suyo laugh, Liu Hao himself couldn't hold it in anymore, and the smile was contagious to the girl's face.

The smile faded, and the two looked at each other——

"In that case, goodbye."

"See you."

Liu Hao led Nagasaki Suye into the woods, shook hands and said goodbye for the last time, and sent the girl back to her world.

On the way back to the dormitory, Liu Hao found it difficult to describe his current mood. He seemed to be a little troubled, but more of a little envious. The friendship in adolescence without a trace of interests and impurities was really beautiful. It seemed to be falling apart, but in fact, who can forget who?

Walking into the dormitory room, Liu Hao saw the familiar big head of his roommate Zheng Ke. He was playing an exciting man-gun battle again, but was shot in the head by the opponent, and the screen went gray.

Thinking about what just happened, Liu Hao patted Zheng Ke's shoulder and said, "Big Head, if we had a conflict, would you run all the way to win me back?"

Zheng Ke raised his head in confusion, the corner of his mouth twitching, and then he scratched the goose bumps on his arm: "Hey - why are you asking such a disgusting question, woman."

"Humph, man."

Liu Hao snorted, and instantly got goose bumps all over his body. He rubbed his left arm while dragging out the ending tone of "Huh——".

"What are you talking about?"

“I’m disgusted by myself, too.”

"Haha, we are the ones who are disgusted by you."

Zheng Ke winked at Zhang Pan and Liu Wenhu, and instantly surrounded Liu Hao with men on both sides.

"What are you doing?" Faced with two men on top of each other, Liu Hao was scared.

"What are you doing? Tell me the truth. When did you betray the revolution? You're still in high school, you're playing tricks. Confess and you'll get leniency, resist and you'll get severity! Go tickle me!"

Soon, a burst of heart-wrenching laughter was heard in the dormitory...
