Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Su Shi's face turned pale and he murmured: "Is it because of us... that Xiangzi was angry..."

Hoshikawa Taku kindly reminded: "I don't know what she's thinking, but I don't think she looks angry."

"No, she must be angry."

Su Shi's eyes were dazed, and she shook her head, as if she didn't want to accept any other explanation. "She must have felt that we betrayed her, so she left crying..."

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Hoshikawa Taku's arm, her voice trembling with anxiety as she pleaded, "Mr. Hoshikawa, please help me contact her. I want to see her right now and explain everything to her in person!"

Even though the familiar Ruoye Mu was beside her, Su Shi did not speak to Xiao Mu.

Because long before, she had asked Xiaomu to take her to see Xiangzi countless times, but Xiaomu never did it.

In contrast, even though Hoshikawa wasn't close to her, he did make Xiangzi appear here - the only person she could count on was Hoshikawa Taku.

Xingchuan looked at her for a few seconds and sighed softly.

"Fine……"

This time, Taku Hoshikawa did not put forward any conditions.

Because he knew that if Nagasaki Suyo didn't change her mind, she would only bring shame upon herself.

"Since I've promised you, I will let you meet her, but... you have to be mentally prepared. She might refuse your request."

Hoshikawa Taku reminded meaningfully.

"I know. Please contact Xiangzi as soon as possible!"

Seeing Suyo's anxious look, Hoshikawa Taku knew that Nagasaki Suyo had turned a deaf ear to his reminder.

He shook his head speechlessly, but still walked out of the venue and called Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi, where are you now?"

"I'm almost at the office now."

Xiangzi on the other end of the phone spoke softly, a little choked up, "Mr. Xingchuan... I'm sorry, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I'll leave first..."

"It's okay, your health is important."

Hoshikawa Taku said considerately.

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that...Su Shi wants to see you now. Is it convenient for you? If it's convenient, I will bring her to see you."

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, then realized that he couldn't escape it anyway, so he nodded and agreed.

"Well, bring her here then."

Originally, Hoshikawa Taku was planning to go see Aine, but seeing Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes that were so anxious that they were almost about to cry, he sighed and took her to the office first.

As for Aine, he sent her a message on his phone, praising her for her excellent performance today and saying that he would treat her to a celebratory dinner when she was free.

Soon, the three of them arrived back at the block where the office was located.

At this time, the sky around had darkened, with some twilight glow remaining on the horizon. The streets were silent and the entire street was empty.

Xiangzi was standing quietly at the entrance of a small park not far away, leaning against an iron railing under a street lamp, waiting for everyone.

Her figure was stretched out in the light, making her look particularly lonely.

When Su Shi saw her, he couldn't help but slow down his pace, walked over carefully, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Xiangzi, thank you for meeting me today. I'm sorry, I want to apologize to you in person no matter what."

Her voice was low and quick, as if she was afraid of being rejected, or as if she was afraid that Xiangzi would turn around and leave.

She explained in a low voice: "We weren't going to play 'Spring Shadow' originally. We were only going to play one song today, and I didn't want to play it myself. But the performance has already started, and I really can't help it..."

However, after listening to her explanation, Xiangzi remained silent, his expression calm and no emotion could be seen.

Su Shi's heart began to sink, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes: "I'm sorry, this must have hurt you. It's natural that you can't forgive me, because the song you played is our important song..."

Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Taku Hoshikawa can recite the entire passage.

He had already reminded Su Shi that what Xiangzi really cared about was not that they played Kasuga Shadow, but Su Shi still kept dwelling on this point.

Xiangzi finally couldn't help himself and said calmly, "Don't be so self-indulgent. It's your freedom to play. I have never stopped you and I won't stop you in the future."

The meaning of Xiangzi's words was very straightforward. However, Su Shi still held the premise that "Xiangzi was angry" and regarded these words as an irony of suppressing his anger.

She continued to apologize to herself: "I'm so sorry, you must be very angry... This song is an important memory for CRYCHIC, but I didn't stop them from singing it on stage..."

"CRYCHIC is over!"

Xiangzi interrupted her directly and his tone became cold.

"It's outrageous that you're still clinging to the past. You should probably forget about it."

Su Shi panicked and shook her head, begging, "Please, I want CRYCHIC to start over. I want to get back the happy times we had together. Xiao Deng and Li Xi also want this, and Xiao Mu thinks so too."

"As long as you are willing, Xiangzi, we can go back to the band and start over..."

Xiangzi's eyes didn't waver at all, and he continued coldly, "Really? I don't have such plans, and neither does Xiaomu."

"Eh?"

Su Shi was stunned, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her head. She quickly turned to look at Ruoye Mu who was standing beside her, "Xiao Mu, don't you want to form a band with us?"

"I...I didn't promise."

Ruoye Mu turned his face away and did not look directly into Su Shi's eyes.

"How could this happen? Am I the only one who thinks this way..."

Nagasaki Suyo felt like her beliefs had collapsed.

Xiangzi sighed deeply.

This time, Xiangzi came to reconcile with Su Shi and the others with the intention of blessing them to form a new band. After everyone talked it out, they could continue to be ordinary friends.

But now it seems that if I continue to speak to Su Shi in a friendly tone, it will only give her some unrealistic delusions.

"Sorry, I don't have any plans to reorganize CRYCHIC, and I don't have the time to play house with you right now."

Xiangzi said this mercilessly, with a resolute tone.

"This is my ultimatum. Don't get involved with me from now on."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the office.

When she passed by Xingchuan Taku, she whispered: "Mr. Xingchuan, there is still some time. I will practice for a while before going back."

"Ah."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded and watched her walk towards the building.

Xiangzi's words were clear enough, however, Su Shi was still unwilling to give up.

"Xiangzi, don't go!"

She ran forward and eagerly grabbed Xiangzi's hand.

"Please... If it weren't for Xiangzi and the others, I would..."

"let me go."

Xiangzi frowned and said in a cold tone, trying to shake off her hand.

But Su Shi held her wrist even harder, even kneeling in front of her, begging at the top of his lungs:

"What do you want me to do to make you come back? If there is anything I can do, I will do it!"

Xiangzi's eyes dropped. She looked down at Su Shi who was kneeling in front of her, begging her to change her mind. A trace of pity emerged in her indifference.

"How confident are you that you said that? You're just a student. Do you have the ability to completely shoulder the responsibility of another person's life?"

Every word she spoke was like an icy blade cutting through the night.

"I'm willing to do anything, but that's such a heavy thing to say. Don't say things you can't do."

Su Shi was stunned, looking at Xiangzi with empty eyes, too shocked to speak.

Xiangzi slowly withdrew his hand and looked at her. There was no more anger in his eyes, only deep disappointment and a hint of pity.

"You are a person who only thinks about yourself."

……

This is a "famous scene". I watched it repeatedly for a long time before writing it. Every action and every detail of Bushido is worth considering.

It's hard to imagine that Mujica would become like that...

Chapter 257: "Pretty Widow" Nagasaki Suyo.

Xiangzi left, his back clear and merciless.

Nagasaki Suyo was still kneeling there, her knees pressed against the slightly cool and rough floor tiles, motionless.

The evening breeze blew through the ends of her hair, blowing up strands of messy hair and sticking them to her cheeks, but she seemed not to feel it, and was as dull as a puppet with its soul taken away.

Taku Hoshikawa stood not far away, watching the scene quietly.

He really didn't expect that the "famous scene" he had seen countless times in animation would appear before his eyes in reality in such a way and with such emotions.

I wanted to laugh because it was so dramatic, almost like the climax of a stage play.

But he found that he couldn't laugh at all.

In order to win back Xiangzi, Su Shi has even given up her dignity. The action of kneeling down was not planned, nor was it a rational choice after weighing the pros and cons. Instead, it was an out-of-control subconscious behavior - she tried to use her humility to arouse even a trace of sympathy from the other party.

But this is ultimately a one-sided feeling, a futile struggle of wishful thinking.

Hoshikawa Taku sighed and shifted his gaze to another silent spectator beside him - Wakaba Mutsu.

She stood a few steps away, expressionless, watching silently like a statue, with no sign of joy or anger.

"Xiao Mu, go up and find Xiangzi first."

Hoshikawa Taku said to her softly, "I'm here to persuade Su Shi to go back."

"……Um."

Xiao Mu's expression was still expressionless at this moment, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

After Xiaomu left, Hoshikawa Taku squatted in front of Nagasaki Suyo.

The night grew darker and everything was quiet. Only the street lamps emitted a dim light, casting Su Shi's shadow, which stretched long on the ground, just like her bent back, drooping and broken.

Her hands hung limply on her knees, and she continued to kneel on the ground in a daze, unwilling to get up for a long time.

Hoshikawa Taku patted her shoulder sympathetically: "I told you to be prepared for rejection. Do you really think that as long as you ask in person, Xiangzi will relent and agree to go back?"

At this time, Su Shi slowly came back to his senses.

She looked at Taku Hoshikawa in front of her. At that moment, the emotions that flashed in her eyes were astonishment, hurt, despair... and then turned into crazy anger.

"Hoshikawa Taku!"

Su Shi suddenly rushed over and pushed him to the ground. He pressed on him and grabbed his collar tightly with both hands. His face was distorted and he screamed uncontrollably:

"You said you would help me! You said you would bring Xiangzi back! You lied! You didn't do it at all!"

"Are you crazy!"

Taku Hoshikawa didn't expect that Su Shi would be so stimulated, but he reacted quickly. He immediately grabbed Su Shi's wrist with his backhand, controlled her, turned over and pressed her back to the ground.

Hoshikawa Takuya was a little annoyed.

"Get it right! I said I'd help you, but I'm just your wingman! I'm just a support! You're the one who can really decide how things go!"

"It's like being the middleman in a blind date. I introduced you two and created an opportunity for communication. If you didn't hit it off, that's your problem. Do you really want to blame the matchmaker for not getting you married?"

His tone became increasingly stern: "Look into my eyes and ask me this! Have I done what you asked me to do? Did Xiangzi come to see your performance? Did she talk to you in person? Have I done all of these?"

"It's you, it's you who ruined this opportunity for communication and pushed her further away!"

Taku Hoshikawa didn't bother to be polite with Nagasaki Suyo. He pushed her to the ground and started to yell at her.

Su Shi's eyes widened and he was finally speechless.

Hoshikawa Taku's tone was like a knife, mercilessly piercing her heart with each word, completely shattering her last bit of fantasy.

She was stunned for a long time, and the madness in her eyes finally faded away, replaced by confusion and emptiness.
