Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

Ruoye Mu responded softly, and combined with the situation of the band she had just seen, she said, "If Xiangzi meets Su Shi and the others now, the atmosphere may not be very good."

"I guess it would be a little embarrassing too."

Liu Hao nodded and said, "But we can't delay taking this step just because of concerns. No matter what, being able to meet is better than having this misunderstanding all the time. What's more, we have the two of us to act as middlemen to smooth things over."

"..."

Ruoye Mu pursed his lips and glanced at Liu Hao, thinking that maybe it was because of you that the atmosphere was not so good...

Volume 181: Chapter Chapter It’s all because of you, this sinful guy

Liu Hao couldn't believe it. After all this shopping, they still hadn't decided on their costumes. If Aine hadn't bought that bottle of sunscreen, the two hairpins Liu Hao bought for Wakaba Mutsu and Takamatsu Deng would have been the only thing they had spent on...

⑼Or, in fact, except for Aine, everyone’s mind was not on choosing clothes, but on the person they were going to meet next.

Oh, by the way, there's also Kaname Lenai. Cat's expectations are all on that matcha parfait in the cafe and the claw machine in the mall, otherwise she'd have slipped away long ago. Toyokawa Shoko? She's just a boring woman, none of Cat's business.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night in Tokyo deepens, and Ikebukuro under the night sky is still shining with neon lights as usual.

2 In the coffee shop on the second floor of Sunshine City, because it was already night, there were only a few scattered tables of people, so Liu Hao and his friends were able to sit by the window and enjoy the night view of the city outside the window.

4 “I don’t understand.”

Chihaya Aine held up half of her cheek and said, "It was Toyokawa Shoko who took the initiative to say she wanted to quit the band, causing your previous band to disband. It was clearly her fault. You should be waiting for her to come and apologize. Why are you all so uneasy instead?"

③ “It’s not anyone’s fault…” Su Shi said the same words, but this time she wasn’t so sure. “Maybe no one is wrong. Xiaoxiang also has his own difficulties.”

"Not really," Liu Hao corrected. "Of course Xiangzi had her own difficulties, but that has nothing to do with whether she had any difficulties or not. If we look at the facts, it's her fault, there's no doubt about that."

Gao Songdeng shook his head, but his amber eyes were firm: "It might be my fault. I didn't sing well at the concert. I want to apologize to Xiangzi."

"What's there to apologize for? It wasn't your fault in the first place."

Li Xi crossed her arms over her chest, and raised her beautiful white legs slightly frivolously, to hide her nervousness about seeing Xiangzi soon. As for why she was nervous, Li Xi couldn't say. Logically speaking, what Aine said just now was right, and she should be able to face Xiangzi with confidence.

"I think it's okay." Liu Hao said to Gao Songdeng with a smile, "When Xiangzi comes, you should apologize to her profusely. Xiangzi knows in her heart that it's not your fault but her own problem. But you apologize first. She's very thin-skinned. If you say sorry a few times, she might be the first to break down."

"Is that so?"

Gao Songdeng blinked as if he understood something.

"And you, Lixi."

Liu Hao turned towards the girl with long black hair, just able to see some of her snow-white thighs that were level with the table.

"I?"

"You should soften your tone. A hard confrontation will only backfire. If you're someone like you, speak softly. Xiangzi will be embarrassed and might even drop a pearl."

"what?"

Li Xi frowned slightly. She would be happy if Xiangzi could drop the little pearl. After all, he was the one who hurt Deng, so it was understandable to let her repent. But she still felt something was wrong.

"As for Su Shi..."

"I have my own way. What happened in the past is in the past, so we should all look to the future."

Su Shi smiled slightly, and her beautiful lake blue eyes were full of autumn under her delicate eyebrows. The girl stretched out her right hand quietly, and hooked her little finger on the corner of Liu Hao's clothes, saying, "I have made a promise in my heart for a hundred years."

All of Su Shi's little movements were blocked by the table. Apart from the person involved, only Ruoye Mu saw it. The girl looked at Liu Hao and pursed her lips, not knowing how Liu Hao would deal with it next.

What can I do? Just let it sit.

Liu Hao knew that Xiangzi, whom he had "two-tied," would meet with Su Shi, and the conversation might shift from the girls' friendship and reconciliation to his own. But even if he knew, what would it matter? Would the two girls never see each other again? Would the Crychik incident remain unresolved? Would Deng be left with the eternal guilt of having done something wrong?

Things will work out when the time comes. Liu Hao always believes that as long as there is communication, there will be a way to bridge the previous misunderstandings. The road is made by walking, and things cannot be solved by hesitation.

In front of everyone, can you still tear me in half? Besides, Liu Hao has a contingency plan and a backup plan.

Xiao Mu, brother, I will tell you firsthand what it means to be a man of both courage and strategy.

Aiyin blinked, the color of black tea still lingering on her cherry-colored lips. "Why do I feel like you're trying to sabotage that Toyokawa Shoko? Is there anyone who acts like a middleman like you?"

Liu Hao said righteously, "I'm not trying to sabotage you. I never try to smooth things over. You left the band without explaining clearly, leaving behind a mess of misunderstandings. This was originally Xiangzi's fault, so of course I'm on the side of reason."

Aine nodded and said, “That’s right.”

"wrong."

Li Xi finally realized that something was wrong. Liu Hao's behavior of exposing Xiangzi's shortcomings was not a sabotage at all. Given Liu Hao's personality, this was actually a symbol of a very good relationship. He originally called her "classmate Li Xi", but was only called by her name after the mountain climbing team building. Now he could joke with her without too many scruples. This was because their relationship had become closer.

The girl with long straight black hair narrowed her beautiful purple eyes and looked at Liu Hao: "You seem to know Xiangzi very well?"

Liu Hao nodded and said, "I understand it quite well."

"What is your relationship?"

"My relationship with you is the same as my relationship with her."

"You just said you wouldn't play nice! Are you hiding something?"

"No, I have the whole world in my mind." Liu Hao joked as usual, "Also, Li Xi, you and everyone else are not ghosts. I don't allow you to say that about yourself."

"嘁~"

Li Xi turned her head to the other side and made a disdainful sound, actually she was trying to hide her panic. Li Xi knew that Liu Hao was joking, but the meaning of his words was obviously that he had her in his heart, which still made the girl's head buzz and her fair face became hot.

"Xiangzi, here."

At this time, Ruoye Mu raised her hand, and everyone turned their eyes to the entrance of the cafe at her voice, and sure enough, they saw a beautiful girl with blue twin ponytails.

"Welcome, may I ask for a seat?"

"I have an appointment, thank you."

Shoko Toyokawa thanked the waiter gracefully and made eye contact with everyone at the window who was both familiar and unfamiliar as she walked.

I met the pink-haired classmate Yugaoka once, I remember her name was Chihaya Aine, Shiina Tatsuki with her arms crossed, and Takamatsu Touma still as cute. But there was not much anxiety in the girl's amber eyes, which was completely different from when I saw her at the beginning of the school year. Did she find courage and peace by Liu Hao's side?

And Nagasaki Suyo, I was clearly feeling guilty towards her before, why is my mood completely different now?

When Xiangzi was looking at Sushi, Sushi was also looking at her, and her mood was equally complicated.

A month ago, she was still trying desperately to win back Xiangzi, thinking that even if she had to pretend to be nice and feed the tiger with her own flesh and blood, even if she had to become a bad woman who took advantage of others, she would still get Xiangzi back and rebuild CRYCHIC. But now, she doesn't want Xiangzi to come back, and even thinks it would be better if Xiangzi didn't appear. Why is this happening?

The two girls found the answer at the same time, and their eyes were on Liu Hao at the same time.

It’s all because of you, you sinful fellow!

Volume 182: Chapter Chapter Reconciliation? No, a new war

"Xiangzi..."

Shoko Toyokawa nodded to Takamatsu Deng who said her name, but she did not rush to greet her former bandmates whom she had not seen for a year, nor did she sit in the seat that was vacated for her.

The girl said to Ruoye Mu, who was sitting next to Liu Hao, "Let's squeeze in a little bit."

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu understood and leaned towards the edge of the sofa chair, giving up his seat next to Liu Hao.

Under everyone's gaze, Toyokawa Shoko gracefully gathered the hem of her skirt and leisurely sat down beside Liu Hao. The girl turned her head, raised her swan-like neck, and whispered a sweet scent into Liu Hao's ear with her plump cherry-colored lips. "I won't ask you how you met Chu Hua now, but you must explain it to me clearly when we get home tonight."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.

The meaning of the nine is also very obvious. Even the most dull-witted person can hear the intimacy and self-righteousness in it, as if it is declaring ownership.

The smile on Aiyin's lips froze. She seemed to know why everyone else looked so nervous. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have accused you of not trusting Liu Hao. It seems that this guy is really not trustworthy in this regard.

Li Xi clenched her hands on her knees, and her gaze towards Liu Hao and Xiangzi became extremely sharp. If eyes could become substance, then her gaze must have turned into a steel knife, determined to pierce Liu Hao's face.

As for Su Shi... Su Shi, stop using too much force. Liu Hao's popular Taobao T-shirt is about to be torn by your fingers.

There was silence on the field for a moment.

If it weren't for the smacking sounds Lenai made while eating the matcha parfait, some people might have thought that time had frozen at that moment.

Being watched by almost everyone, Liu Hao felt that he had used up all his life's skills. He thought that going to construction sites to do plastering, being a volunteer for the Universiade, interviewing parents who wanted tutors one by one, and applying for student loans and poverty scholarships frankly... All these part-time jobs that showed him in the spotlight must have sharpened his nerves in order to face the harsh conditions of today, right?

Can you handle it? Yes, I can!

"What's there to explain? I just happened to be spotted by a director and starred in a commercial with two Sumimi idols. I also wrote a song for them." Liu Hao said lightly, "Although Chuhua is an idol, she's very easy to get along with. Aine, don't you think so? We even went to her house together."

"Indeed, Chuhua is a very good person."

Aiyin nodded blankly, not realizing that Liu Hao had quietly transferred some of the pressure.

[It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Aine, I usually help you shoulder so much of Riki's pressure. Is it too much to ask for a little help today?]

"Hey?"

As the one who wanted to improve the most in the band, Li Xi had always been very interested in the music industry. She admired the band's seniors and talented idols of the same age like Sumimi. She looked at Ai Yin and asked, "Did you and Liu Hao go to Sumimi's Chuhua's house?"

Aiyin explained, "It was that day. Didn't I send Chuhua's autograph in the group chat? When Lena and I were returning home after rehearsal, we happened to meet Liu Hao and Chuhua, and then we went to Chuhua's house to help her compose the music."

"Forehead……"

Li Xi's face darkened. She remembered that if she hadn't been in a hurry to go back to compose music that day, she might have caught up with Aine and Lenai. She couldn't help but feel regretful. However, just a moment later, she grasped another key point. Li Xi looked at Liu Hao and asked in disbelief, "You helped Sumimi compose the music?"

"Yeah, you know that when I'm inspired, I'm really good, but when I'm not, I'm not very good." Liu Hao said calmly, "That night after you pinned me down and beat me up, I was just bursting with inspiration..."

"Stop, stop. I know all this. You don't need to say it again."

Liu Hao must have some skills to be so thick-skinned. Li Xi is actually very thin-skinned. When Liu Hao said this, she thought of the scene when she rode on Liu Hao that night, and then she thought of the warmth in his arms. Because of understanding, they can tolerate each other.

"Then stop, let's get down to business..." Liu Hao paused, then continued, "Well, there's nothing serious to say. I just think that since we've finally met, we should just say whatever we want to say. Whether it's about the past or our current feelings, whether we can reconcile or not, at least we should say it out loud and not let it get stuck in our hearts."

Toyokawa Shoko had been looking at Nagasaki Suyo through Liu Hao. The two girls saw themselves in each other's eyes as clear as autumn water. They had different mental states, but the same mood. The fact of meeting each other was a statement, and they would never let go.

"Xiangzi..."

Takamatsu Deng clasped his right fist against his chest, his amber eyes fixed on the girl before him who had spoken out her heartfelt wish, "I want to be human." He stumbled but bravely said, "I'll never forget what you said to me on that bridge... I didn't sing well at the concert and disappointed you. I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault. You sang very well at the concert."

Shoko Toyokawa is no longer the broken doll with nothing but dignity. She has a new pillar, so she no longer needs to use that ridiculous awkwardness to maintain her dignity and can speak her heart frankly.

"Deng, you didn't let me down, but I let you down."

"On the day I left, I told you that you were the one who needed to practice more. It was awkward and I said it against my will. I wanted you to hate me and forget me, but I didn't expect you to hold onto it for so long."

"I'm sorry if I hurt you."

Toyokawa Shoko stood up and bowed to her former bandmates sitting nearby. "Also, I'm sorry for hurting everyone and making them feel so sad about the band's disbandment."

"Well……"

Gao Songdeng pursed his lips, and the depression in his heart was relieved. Instead, he felt his nose a little sore and tears filled his eyes.

Li Xi was embarrassed to say anything more when he saw Xiangzi being so frank. He just muttered quietly, "Why did you quit the band in the first place if you're apologizing now?"

"Because at that time, I no longer had the ability to waste time in my life," Toyokawa Shoko said frankly. "In order to survive, I had to work part-time for the legally required 40 hours a week."

Gao Songdeng raised his head and said, "We can help you."

Xiangzi just shook his head and said gently, "It's a huge number that you can't imagine. So, I don't want you to pity me, I don't want you to see my miserable state, and I don't want you to find ways to help me. Because of my ridiculous self-esteem, I'm sorry."

After a few more bows, Toyokawa Shoko finally sat down. This frank confession brought silence to the room, but it wasn't out of awkwardness; instead, it softened the atmosphere.

Liu Hao felt relieved. That's right, what's the difficulty in speaking it out? We are all kind people and can understand each other. No one will pity you. It is precisely because you spoke it out that you appear stronger and braver. You are truly the Toyokawa Shoko who no one can underestimate.

"Also, I want to thank you all. Thank you for helping me take care of Liu Hao, the most important person in my life."

As soon as Xiangzi said this, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed.

Volume 183: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Sushi hits a critical hit

"Xiaoxiang, you're welcome."

Su Shi's voice was sweet and charming. Although she didn't know Xiangzi's specific situation, she had learned a thing or two from the messages Liu Hao had sent her. Therefore, Su Shi was the least shocked by Xiangzi's situation among all the uninformed people. She had already made up her mind and would not change her mind because of Xiangzi's experience. "Are you in a difficult situation? Then my boyfriend and I can help you together. Of course, it's just to help you. If you covet someone else's boyfriend, then you are wrong."

"I will continue to take good care of Liu Jun, you don't have to worry about that."

"Yes, we get along very well, Xiangzi, your former teammate is awesome."

Liu Hao seemed completely oblivious to the tension in Xiangzi and Su Shi's tone, and as usual, he responded to Su Shi's words with his relaxed tone, "Besides, theoretically speaking, as the senior and only male in the band, I should be the one taking care of everyone, right?"

Gao Songdeng was an honest child. She nodded vigorously and said, "It's because of Liu Hao that the band was formed. And today they brought Xiao Mu and Xiangzi here too. That's great..."

"You take care of everyone, and everyone is taking care of you." Su Shi chuckled and reminded: "If I remember correctly, I paid for your share of the expenses of the hot spring hotel last time."

Liu Hao: ...

In fact, it is far more than that. Su Shi’s soft rice willow is so delicious and so fragrant that it is really hard to refuse.

Aine narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "You still owe me two tickets to the aquarium."

"Didn't you say you didn't have to pay it back?"
