Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

Then neither of them spoke, but continued to watch what was happening downstairs.

In fact, the reason why Ichinose Asaba was stunned and let Nagasaki Miyoko hold him was because Nagasaki Miyoko said this after covering his eyes:

"Xiao Qianyu, guess who I am~"

Yes, this was the real reason why he was stunned.

A familiar name, a familiar voice, how do you think he should remain calm?

When Ichinose Asaba heard these words, his mind went completely blank. Even his most basic language organization ability was affected. He could only stand there motionless.

Only now did he slowly come back to his senses and hesitantly say the name he had put together in his mind, "Miyoko."

Asaba Ichinose always called Nagasaki Miyoko by her real name, never adding any suffix like "Auntie" or something like that, except when he was a child, because only then did he call her "Midoriko-san" at the instigation of his parents.

Of course, at that time, Midori's surname was still Ichinose, not Nagasaki as it is now.

"Xiao Qianyu guessed it right~ So do you want any reward~"

When she was with Asaba Ichinose, the attitude that Nagasaki Miyoko displayed was exactly the same as when she was with Nagasaki Motoyo, with no difference at all.

It's a habit, and she can't change it just because she wants to.

""

Ichinose Asaba didn't say anything, but her body was trembling slightly.

Because he really didn't know what to say, nor did he know what to do now.

It seemed as if just shouting out Nagasaki Miyoko's name had exhausted all his strength.

In other words, he wasn't even prepared to meet Nagasaki Motoyo, so how could he recover after suddenly meeting Nagasaki Midoriko?

So subconsciously, he was a little afraid. Although he knew that with Nagasaki Miyoko's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her to tell him, he still felt a little guilty. He was worried that Nagasaki Miyoko would ask him why he left Roppongi a year ago.

Guilty conscience, remorse, fear, worry, these emotions kept appearing in his heart, easily shattering his weak defense.

Instinctively, he wanted to avoid these things and wanted to talk about other topics to attract Nagasaki Miyoko's attention, so as not to talk about these topics, because he knew that if he did so, Nagasaki Miyoko would definitely cooperate with his performance.

But, do we really need to do this?

While hesitating, Ichinose Asaba could even clearly hear his own heartbeat, it was so strong.

And the warmth that Nagasaki Miyoko felt when she hugged him

Because just when his body was shaking unconsciously, Nagasaki Miyoko held him tighter.

All that Ichinose Asaba could read from it was concern...just concern.

Because Nagasaki Miyoko had always treated him like this, and of course, Suyo as well.

"I'm sorry" /Q*unFinLingSiDrunk)IV

So...in the end he did not choose to continue to escape, but gave himself a chance to face the past.

His gradually relaxed body and calm heartbeat undoubtedly showed that he was mentally prepared.

He was prepared for Nagasaki Miyoko to ask him about what happened a year ago.

It can be said that as long as Nagasaki Miyoko wants to ask, he will definitely tell her everything without reservation.

Escape... escape... He no longer wanted to do this thing that he once hated and detested the most.

Nagasaki Miyoko was obviously surprised when she heard this. Not only her eyes, but also her emotions in her heart were greatly fluctuating. For a moment, she felt a little self-blame and heartache.

But she was an adult after all, so she hid all of this, forced a smile, and looked at him as if she knew nothing. "What did Xiao Qianyu say? I don't seem to understand."

"What happened a year ago was a misunderstanding. It was my fault. I..."

At the same time, Ichinose Asaba turned around while speaking.

Similarly, this was the first time the two met after being separated for a year.

Nagasaki Miyoko is still the same as before, and seems to have not changed at all.

But Ichinose Asaba seemed like a completely different person. There was a hint of sadness between her brows, the smile on her face was gone, and her whole temperament had changed a lot.

It's like I lost something important

Nagasaki Miyoko was not unfamiliar with this kind of Ichinose Asaba. After all, she had seen this kind of Ichinose Asaba when her parents died in an accident.

However, as time went by, Asaba Ichinose gradually returned to normal. She originally thought that Asaba Ichinose had walked out, but now it seems that she had sealed those negative emotions in her heart.

After all, Ichinose Asaba's condition at this moment is even worse than before.

She didn't need to guess, she knew that what happened a year ago was what caused Ichinose Asaba to become what she is now, or... there were other hidden secrets involved.

"a year ago?"

But knowing is one thing, being able to say it out loud is another.

At least, she didn't want to bring up Asaba Ichinose's sad story here.

So Nagasaki Miyoko chose to play dumb. After all, she knew clearly that this was not Roppongi, not their home.

“I moved from Roppongi.”

However, she underestimated Ichinose Asaba's persistence in this matter.

Seeing that Ichinose Asaba was about to say it herself, the meaning of that would be completely different. There was nothing she could do. Not wanting this to happen, she could only pretend to be stupid and say, "Ah... Xiao Qianyu, are you talking about the sudden move out of the house?"

"What's wrong with this? After all, going out for exercise is a very common thing, not to mention that Xiao Qianyu didn't go too far."

She tried her best to find a way to remedy the situation, hoping to skip this topic, because if she really talked about it, it would be like rubbing salt into Ichinose Asaba's wounds.

After all, she could still clearly remember how Ichinose Asaba trembled slightly when he saw her just now.

After all, all this happened too suddenly, and her appearance was too unexpected, leaving Ichinose Asaba no time to react or digest it.

"So... there's no need to apologize deliberately. After all, adults are all willful, not to mention you, Xiao Qianyu, who's still in adolescence."

However, no matter how she tried to make amends, Ichinose Asaba, who had decided not to escape, would always be able to tear a hole in the net in the first place.

He shook his head and looked at Nagasaki Miyoko seriously, "No, this is different, and this is not an excuse."

"Xiao Qianyu...you actually think so."

Hearing what he said, Nagasaki Miyoko looked at him with a wry smile. Maybe... she was thinking too much.

After all, it seems now that Ichinose Asaba is definitely stronger than she imagined.

This made Nagasaki Miyoko very pleased.

Facing the concerned look from Nagasaki Miyoko, Ichinose Asaba nodded and sighed, "But, I didn't expect to see you here, Miyoko."

Sure enough, when he was returning home with Yukinoshita Yukino yesterday afternoon, the car he saw should be the one owned by Nagasaki Midori.

But... at that time he thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect... everything was already destined.

"Actually, I didn't expect this to happen. I was just about to go to the party when I heard your voice on the phone, Asaba-chan, so I turned around to take a look..." Nagasaki Miyoko couldn't help but smile, then reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on Asaba Ichinose's uniform. "I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly."

"banquet?"

He almost forgot what Nagasaki Miyoko hadn't said. In fact, he still didn't understand what the reason was for Nagasaki Miyoko to appear here, and why she came to attend the banquet at the Yukinoshita family.

Also, how did the Yukinoshita family contact Nagasaki Midori?

These are all questions.

After all, one is in Roppongi and the other is in Chiba. No matter how you look at it, they have nothing to do with each other, right?

"That's right~" However, when faced with this question, Nagasaki Miyoko nodded seriously, then smiled and sighed, "Besides, I was actually very worried about today's banquet. After all, Xiao Sushi was not around... But... now it's different~"

As she spoke, Nagasaki Miyoko did not forget to glance at Ichinose Asaba, and the meaning was self-evident.

That’s right, actually she just wanted Ichinose Asaba to accompany her to the banquet so that she would have nothing to worry about after the social event.

After all, as long as either Asaba Ichinose or Motoyo Nagasaki is by her side, she can treat any place as her home.

This is not a joke, but the two of them can really take care of her.

Maybe this is why she has two different faces at home and outside.

They are all spoiled.

Well, actually, she is also a despicable adult!

"Well, provided you don't drink too much."

After years of getting along, Ichinose Asaba naturally understood what Nagasaki Miyoko meant, so he simply made a rule that he could go up, but on the condition that he could not drink too much, otherwise it would be really inconvenient for him to go alone without Su Shi.

"Three cups!"

Nagasaki Miyoko said this with confidence, because after the party, she still needed to stay sober and chat more with Ichinose Asaba, so how could she let alcohol delay her work?

Of course, this also includes what happened a year ago, and the news that Su Shi will be coming tomorrow.

"Promise not to drink too much?"

Ichinose Asaba confirmed again.

In this regard, he and Nagasaki Miyoko had the same understanding, both wanting to leave enough time to talk.

"Of course. After all, I'm counting on Xiao Qianyu to take me back to the hotel after the banquet."

Nagasaki Miyoko said this, then smiled and took Ichinose Asaba's arm, just like she did to Nagasaki Suyo.

"The Yukinoshita family should arrange for someone to help you, but I'll take you there. Also... the hotel is near the Mihama Library, right?"

Although she was a little uncomfortable, Ichinose Asaba ultimately chose not to break free.

"Hmm? How did Xiao Qianyu know?"

Now it was Nagasaki Miyoko's turn to be surprised.

After all, she really didn't expect that Asaba Ichinose knew where her hotel was, just like she didn't guess at first that Asaba Ichinose was studying at Sobu High School.

"Yesterday afternoon after school, I saw your car parked downstairs in the hotel, Miyoko."

Seeing this, Ichinose Asaba explained.

"So that's how it is... But I happened to be out at that time, otherwise, I might have met Xiao Qianyu earlier."

Nagasaki Midori covered her mouth in surprise. After all, it would be a real pity if that were the case.

Fortunately, she has already met Ichinose Asaba, even a day earlier than expected, so it is not too regrettable.

So she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, the party has been going on for a while now. How about we go up now?"

Come to think of it, she hasn't asked Ichinose Asaba why she appeared at Yukinoshita's house, but it doesn't matter. It's okay to ask after the banquet is over.

After all, this is not the place to talk.

"Then let's go"

To be honest, Asaba Ichinose really doesn't like the banquet environment, but there is nothing she can do about it, because the person who invited her is Nagasaki Miyoko.

If Su Shi is not around, he will be the only one who will be responsible for taking care of her.

I just hope that when those two people see him later...especially Yukinoshita Yukino, they won't be mean to him, otherwise he will be really embarrassed.

I just said I was leaving, but I went back the next moment.

In other words, doesn't he want to save face?

Well, now he really has no idea what he is doing.

""

Subconsciously, Ichinose Asaba felt a little guilty and wanted to check the situation in the banquet hall on the third floor.

After all, what happened between him and Nagasaki Miyoko downstairs just now...if they were discovered...the situation would be so embarrassing.

He kept praying in his heart, then looked up at the third floor.

""

Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't see anything.

It seems that the feeling of being peeped just now was just an illusion.

"what happened?"

At this time, Nagasaki Miyoko, who noticed that Ichinose Asaba was a little strange, looked over curiously.

"It's okay, keep walking."

Ichinose Asaba quickly shook her head.
