I have pure love with them

Nagasaki Shoyo looked up when she saw someone sitting opposite her. When she found out that the person was Izumi, she lowered her head again. She stared at the dark-colored table in silence without saying a word.

Seeing that the other party was in a low mood, Quan did not take the initiative to speak to break the silence, but sat quietly opposite Nagasaki Souyo, waiting for the girl to adjust her mood.

The manager prepared the caramel latte that Quan ordered and brought it to Quan.

After the manager of the coffee shop turned and left, Nagasaki Shoyo, who had kept his head down and remained silent for a long time, slowly raised his head and looked at Izumi in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Quan Jun, for calling you out so suddenly..."

Nagasaki Soyo was in a depressed mood, with a forced smile on her face and her eyes lowered, which made her look very sad. Her voice, which used to sound gentle, now sounded a little weak, which made Quan really curious about what had happened to her.

"You met Ms. Toyokawa, right?"

"……Um."

Suddenly he said that he wanted to reconsider Izumi's suggestion. What Izumi could be sure of was that Nagasaki Soushi had already contacted Toyokawa Shoko, and it was very likely that Toyokawa Shoko had rejected the invitation of "Nagasaki Soushi's Band".

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that Nagasaki Shoyo would take the initiative to ask to meet with Izumi and consider the suggestion about Izumi.

"Can you tell me what happened specifically?"

"..."

If it were the usual Nagasaki Soyo, she would not tell others about her relationship with Toyokawa Shoko, but now Nagasaki Soyo felt extremely tired both physically and mentally, and her spirit was in a relatively fragile stage.

Ever since her parents divorced and her mother was busy with work, Nagasaki Soushi has been suppressing her inner thoughts deep in her heart. However, the emotions accumulated in her heart have reached a limit after continuous expansion. Now her fragile spirit is like a dam that has begun to break.

At this moment, Quan's expression of willingness to listen was like the fuse that completely detonated the bomb, igniting the complex emotions that were already accumulated in Nagasaki Souyo's heart.

"got rejected."

The overly strong emotions impacted his heart, making Nagasaki Souyo look very cold and even a little numb at the moment.

"Just now, Xiangzi found me..."

Recalling the scene that happened not long ago, Nagasaki Soyo, who was completely rejected by Toyokawa Shoko, looked even darker.

"I have my own life now. Your frequent appearances in Yuqiu have caused me a lot of trouble. I have no interest in your band and I don't have any nostalgia for my previous band. Please don't bother me anymore. I don't want to say anything excessive, but if you just want to sing praises of youth and play house games, just do it with your current band members. I've had enough. That's all."

There was no emotion at all, just reading in a flat voice. Nagasaki Shoyo slowly raised his face, looked at Izumi with his gray and emotionless eyes, and spoke a long speech.

This is probably what Toyokawa Shoko said when she met Nagasaki Soyo not long ago.

'It's amazing that you remembered what she said.'

Quan was a little surprised that Nagasaki Shoyo would remember Toyokawa Shoko's words so clearly.

He couldn't help but look towards the table. He was a little curious, wondering if Nagasaki Shoyo's knees were clean at the moment, or if, without his knowledge, she had already knelt down, grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's hand, and shouted, "No! Don't go! I'll do anything!"

"It's really curious."

I hadn't paid attention when I came, so now if I leaned over and looked down at her knees, it would be a bit too deliberate.

"I can wait until the conversation is over before looking at her knees, but right now... I still have to comfort the person in front of me first."

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo who fell silent after speaking a long paragraph, as if hurt again, Izumi spoke slowly.

"It's a little hurtful... Miss Toyokawa, is this all I said after meeting you?"

"After saying this, she left."

Nagasaki Soyo's soft white teeth bit her lips tightly, making her lips, which were originally tender and slightly rosy, turn white.

For Izumi, these remarks made by Toyokawa Shoko did not have any real meaning, but for Nagasaki Shoyo, who respected Toyokawa Shoko, there were probably no words more important than these.

"It's a game of house..."

Quan was not unable to understand what Toyokawa Shoko said.

Compared to Nagasaki Soyo, who has no pressure at the moment and can live a relaxed life, Toyokawa Shoko, who is already burdened with the pressure of life and needs to consider every branch of his life and walk out his life and future down to earth, it is indeed difficult for her to resonate with Nagasaki Soyo.

"Ms. Toyokawa has a lot to do now. In order to get a scholarship from school, she cannot slack off in her studies. To make a living, she will probably have to work part-time after school. When she gets home at night, she may have to prepare dinner, clean up her house, and hang her clothes out to dry. Under such circumstances, do you think she can still spare time for band activities? The studio usage fee alone is a considerable expense."

Looking at Nagasaki Shoyo in front of him, Izumi did not just comfort her, but explained Toyokawa Shoko's current situation.

"Ms. Fengchuan cannot resonate with you right now, nor can she understand your thoughts. Only when she is settled down and regains a sense of security, can you consider your own peace of mind."

Nagasaki Shoyo bit his lips, slowly raised his head and looked at Izumi opposite him, but his eyes seemed inexplicably complicated.

Restraining his inner emotions, Nagasaki Shoyo stared at the spring in front of him.

"Izumi-kun... why do you know so much about Xiangzi? I have been concerned about this matter for a long time."

221. Make a slingshot and shoot at your glass

"It's not that much more than you, Shuangshi. I just learned some things unexpectedly. Instead of caring about these things, I think it would be better to reconsider your relationship with Miss Toyokawa."

Facing Nagasaki Soyo's questioning, even though Nagasaki Soyo was in a very low mood, he had no intention of revealing the whole story. He was also very clear about his value to Nagasaki Soyo now. Once Nagasaki Soyo knew everything, his existence would become dispensable.

"To be more straightforward, you don't have any pressure in life, but just appearing in front of Ms. Toyokawa will stimulate her sensitive heart at the moment."

Seeing Nagasaki Soyo lower his head again, Quan picked up the caramel latte in front of him, took a small sip to moisten his mouth and tongue, and then continued speaking.

"If you think my inference is incorrect, you can try to ask other people who are close to Ms. Toyokawa to find out whether she is still in contact with them after she left the band, and how often they are in contact."

Perhaps, there is no need to ask.

Nagasaki Shoyo thought about how when he had previously sought information about Toyokawa Shoko from Wakaba Mutsu, Wakaba Mutsu's answer was "I'll try to contact him again."

"..."

It seemed that in an instant, Nagasaki Shoyo, who had thought everything through, slowly raised his head and looked at Izumi in front of him.

"So...what can I do to help Xiangzi and make her return to her former self? How can I make her feel safe again?"

If Nagasaki Shoyo knew nothing, he would probably be completely heartbroken after hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said to him. Even if he still had some feelings for Toyokawa Shoko, he would not have the courage to see her again. But now that Nagasaki Shoyo understands Toyokawa Shoko's difficulties, it is difficult for him to let go.

At this moment, the story of 'This is the cup she gave me' emerged in Quan's mind.

Looking at Nagasaki Souyo in front of him, Quan suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"Do you have time now? If you still have time, you can go somewhere with me first."

"……where?"

Nagasaki Shoyo asked subconsciously.

"It's near here. Where exactly is it... well, an apartment."

Looking at Izumi who was sitting opposite him, Nagasaki Shoyo hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that he was Aine's brother and the one who had rejected his confession, he felt that there would be no danger, so he nodded slightly and agreed.

I thought Nagasaki Soushi would be more cautious, but I didn't expect that he agreed after just a moment of hesitation, which made Quan feel a little surprised.

"Then, let's go."

Standing up and paying for two cups of coffee, Nagasaki Souyo followed behind Izumi, and the two left the coffee shop together...

After taking the subway and arriving at a high-end apartment in Shimokitazawa, Nagasaki Soyo looked at Izumi beside him with a hesitant expression.

"Is this... Quan Jun's home?"

She didn't know much about Chihaya's family. She just knew that Aine and Izumi lived in Setagaya, and she also knew that Chihaya's family was relatively wealthy. As for other things, she didn't know much.

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was led by Izumi to the high-end apartment, thought about it in his heart and concluded that "this is Chihaya's house."

"Home... not really. It's just a place to live. At least it can't be considered a home right now."

With a light chuckle, Quan walked towards the apartment, while Nagasaki Shoyo clenched his left fist in front of him, looking a little nervous.

Regardless of whether this was Chihaya's home or not, following a boy to an apartment was a very dangerous thing. She pursed her lips and looked at Izumi walking in front of her. After hesitating for a while, she thought of Toyokawa Shoko and followed Izumi's steps and entered the apartment together.

After Nagasaki Soushi caught up with his pace, Quan stood in front of the elevator, slowly waiting for it to arrive.

Ding--

After entering the elevator, Nagasaki Shoyo stood quietly beside Izumi, but kept a certain distance from him.

"If the elevator suddenly loses power and stops functioning, it won't work."

Standing in the enclosed space, Quan suddenly thought of some content that was not suitable for teenagers, but as soon as it appeared, he raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and cleared these strange thoughts from his mind.

After reaching the floor that Izumi pressed, Izumi walked out of the elevator with another "ding--" sound, while Nagasaki Shoyo held the shoulder straps of his schoolbag tightly with both hands and followed behind Izumi silently.

Sometimes, a backpack can be used as a weapon...even if it is mostly just a warning.

When he reached the door, Quan stretched out his hand, placed it on the door lock, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, pushed open the door, looked back at Nagasaki Soyo behind him, and was the first to enter the house.

"……excuse me."

Nagasaki Sose walked into the house cautiously, looking at the simple... even somewhat empty entrance hall, and the living room which was almost the same as her own home, no, even more spacious than her own home. She felt deeply confused and puzzled.

"This place isn't tidied up yet, and we don't have any indoor shoes, so just come in."

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo standing at the entrance, Quan's gaze lingered on her slender and straight legs for a moment, and then he walked into the living room.

"… Well, I'm sorry."

With deep doubts and confusion in his heart, Nagasaki Shoyo hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the floor and followed Izumi to the living room.

"Is this... where Quan-kun lives now?"

"Well, that's about right. What do you think of this place?"

Walking to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city scene outside the window, Quan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated. After a moment, he opened his eyes, smiled and looked at Nagasaki Soyo who was not far away from him.

“…It’s a nice apartment. Didn’t Aine move here?”

"She doesn't know this place. This is the apartment I rented by myself. Besides me, you are the only one who knows about this place for now."

As for Tokinoya Satomi... in the current atmosphere, it doesn't matter if you ignore her.

In one sentence, Nagasaki Shoyo suddenly felt a little nervous.

“Aine… don’t you know?”

"I don't know. Let's just keep it a secret between the two of us."

The calm tone, without the slightest ambiguity, did not arouse any unnecessary suspicion in Nagasaki Soushi's heart. She looked around the environment in the apartment.

'It feels similar to my home... There's no sense of home in it.'

After a moment's silence, she looked back at Quan.

"Does this have anything to do with Xiangzi's matter?"
