You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

"I'm gonna start now."

She sat alone at the dining table, speaking softly to her simple fried rice. Toyokawa Kiyoshi had already fallen asleep on the sofa, snoring loudly.

After cleaning up the dishes after dinner, Shoko Toyokawa closed her father's door, blocking out some of the annoying noises.

As usual, she put on headphones connected to the synthesizer, her fingertips hovering above the keys but reluctant to put them down.

Toyokawa Shoko stared at the unfinished notes on the sheet of music, but scenes from this morning in Lou Brown kept appearing before her eyes.

The hesitant expression on Sanjiao Chuxia's face, the gentleness in her tone when she mentioned Sanjiao Chuhua, and the cautious tone when she said, "I'm together with Xiaochu."

Tears silently fell again, wetting the plaid skirt.

She took off the golden headband from her head and clutched it tightly in her hand. The fabric still had a faint scent of shampoo. She walked to the trash can, her arms trembling slightly, but she couldn't loosen her fingers.

"It's all over, why am I still reluctant to let go..."

Shoko Toyokawa choked up and talked to herself, her tears dripping onto her hairband, leaving dark marks.

Slowly walking back to the desk, she gently placed the hairband on the sheet music. The light from the desk lamp cast a soft outline on it, just like the gentle smile of the boy in her memory.

"Xiaoxiang, you tie your hair every morning, right? So I hope, I hope that Xiaoxiang will think of me every morning when he sees the hairband..."

(If only I hadn’t helped Xia…)

(Using the boat ticket I helped buy to meet Chu Hua, and then becoming her lover, isn’t it like I sent Xia away with my own hands…)

(If I had taken the initiative earlier, I would be the one who is in love with Xia now.)

Although she knew this was wrong, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but think about this possibility.

Her thoughts wandered, and heartbreaking images emerged uncontrollably in her mind:

Sanjiao Chuxia gently stroked Sanjiao Chuhua's golden hair, just as carefully as he had adjusted her hairband; their lips touched, exchanging sweet breaths in the sunset; Sanjiao Chuhua would curl up in his arms like a kitten, while Sanjiao Chuxia would gaze at the other girl with those eyes that always smiled at her...

"don't want……!"

She covered her ears, as if that would stop the images from raging in her mind. But her imagination became clearer and clearer:

Sanjiao Chuxia's slender fingers unbuttoned the blonde girl's clothes, and the two of them fell on the bed with their fingers intertwined. Sanjiao Chuhua let out a sweet gasp that she had never heard before...

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly squeezed her legs together, tears streaming down her face. She squatted down and hugged her knees, her nails digging deep into the skin of her arms.

"Natsu becomes someone else's lover or something like that, I don't want that kind of thing!"

"I want Xia to think of me for the rest of his life, and even after I die... for at least ten years!" [1]

The music book was closed by the wind blowing in from the window, but Shoko Toyokawa had no intention of stopping it, and let the unfinished notes be buried between the pages.

Because there is no need anymore, there is no need to write this song anymore.

He had originally planned to play this song for him on the piano when he and Sanjiao Chuxia finally got married, just in time to fulfill the last "promise" written in the notebook.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, tears leaving cold marks on her cheeks.

"Xiangzi? Are you okay?" Toyokawa Kiyoshi's vague question came, accompanied by the sound of a beer can being kicked over.

"I'm fine." She answered mechanically, her voice so dry that it didn't sound like her own.

The living room returned to silence, with only the ticking of the clock as the sound.

………………

In the end, Sankaku Hatsuka still did not agree to take Sankaku Hatsuka to Lubrun because when the two were eating cold food, Manager Sakura sent him a message.

Sojiro: Chuxia, will you come to work tomorrow? Xiangzi has asked for leave tomorrow.

He stared at the screen, his brows unconsciously furrowed.

UIKA: Manager Sakura, is Xiaoxiang... okay?

Sojiro: Hmm... I don't know about that either. Xiangzi sent a message to Ruoye asking for leave, saying that she had a cold.

Sojiro: So I'm asking you if you will come to work tomorrow, otherwise I will have to run the store by myself.

UIKA: I will come to work tomorrow.

After sending this message, Sanjiao Chuxia turned off her phone and her eyes unconsciously looked at Sanjiao Chuhua who was sitting opposite her. She was eating the food in small bites.

Noticing the gaze, she looked up in confusion.

"What's wrong, Xia?"

"Xiaoxiang has asked for leave tomorrow..." He put down his chopsticks, his voice a little low.

"I see. Looks like I'll just have to go to the office tomorrow."

"Well, maybe next time."

Sankaku Hatsuka nodded, but secretly sent a message asking for leave to Junda Mana and the producer.

Chapter 162 We Can Share Summer

In the morning, after Sanjiao Chuxia left, Sanjiao Chuhua sat on the sofa in the living room, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of his phone. The sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting a golden line on the wooden floor.

She unlocked the screen and clicked on the chat page with Toyokawa Shoko. The chat history on it was still stuck on the day before yesterday. The other party sent a message asking why she ran away, but she still hadn't responded.

When she first arrived on the island, Sanjiao Chuhua ignored everyone's messages. After returning, she spent almost all day, except for work, obsessed with being in love with Sanjiao Chuxia, and even forgot to reply to messages.

Looking at "Sakiko" on the window, her fingertips hovered above the screen and trembled slightly.

A flicker of hesitation flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She took a deep breath, typed a few words, and pressed the send button:

Uika: Xiaoxiang, can you come out and see me? I want to talk to you.

Uika: I won't tell Xia.

The message quickly showed as read, but there was no reply. Sanjiao Chuhua placed her phone on the coffee table, stood up, and walked to the balcony. A breeze ruffled her blonde hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She hurried back to the living room and saw a short message on the screen:

Sakiko: Okay, see you at Yuze Cafe at 12 noon.

Sanjiao Chuhua exhaled softly and tapped the screen with his finger:

Uika: Thank you, see you then.

"I must... clearly explain my thoughts."

………………

At 11:40 AM, Sanjiao Hatsuka arrived at Yuze Café early. After placing her order with the white-haired waiter with two pigtails, she chose a seat by the window to chat and sat down quietly.

When the wind chimes at the door rang, she looked up and saw Toyokawa Shoko walking in. The sunlight filtered through the glass window, casting a golden halo on her blue hair.

Their eyes met in the air, and they were speechless for a moment.

Sanjiao Chuhua's fingers gently stroked the rim of the cup, and the heat of the coffee was transmitted to his fingertips through the ceramic.

She watched Shoko Toyokawa sit down opposite her, her usually bright golden eyes now filled with a hint of fatigue and wariness.

"Xiaoxiang..." she said softly, her voice softer than usual, "Thank you for coming to see me."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly, her fingertips unconsciously fiddling with the folds of her skirt: "Chuhua, what do you want to say?"

Sanjiao Chuhua took a deep breath and looked directly at the other person with his violet eyes.

"Regarding what happened between Xia and me...it's all my fault."

"..."

"I was the one who confessed my feelings to Xia. I... kissed him secretly while he was sleeping."

The words were on the tip of my tongue but I finally took them back. It was too difficult to tell everyone what I had done.

Shoko Toyokawa's fingers suddenly clenched the hem of her skirt, and her knuckles turned white.

"So? Chuhua is showing off to me?"

"no……"

"I know Chuhua didn't mean that! But..." She suddenly raised her voice, attracting the attention of several customers in the cafe.

Noticing this, she took a deep breath and forced herself to lower her voice and calm down.

"I'm sorry, Chuhua, I got a little excited."

"Xiao Xiang..."

Seeing her in this state she had never seen before, Sanjiao Chuhua felt even more guilty. She gently held Toyokawa Shoko's trembling hand, feeling the coolness of her fingertips.

"I just... don't want Xiaoxiang to misunderstand Xia. He has been blaming himself for hurting you...

Xiaoxiang is not wrong, I am too selfish. I know Xiaoxiang also likes Xia, but I still..."

"Heh." Toyokawa Shoko chuckled, her voice bitter. "No matter what, he chose you. Isn't that obvious?"

Soft piano music filled the café, forming a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere. Sanjiao Chuhua bit his lower lip and suddenly made an unexpected decision.

"Xiao Xiang..." She leaned forward, her voice low, "What if...what if I say we can share Xia?"

"!!!"

Shoko Toyokawa turned her head suddenly, and her golden pupils shrank slightly.

"……what?"

"I know this sounds ridiculous." Sanjiao Chuhua's cheeks flushed, but she still insisted, "But... I don't want to see Xia suffer, and I don't want to lose Xiaoxiang as a friend."

Toyokawa Shoko retracted her hand as if burned, with a flash of panic in her eyes: "Chuhua, do you know what you are saying?"

"I am certain."

Sanjiao Chuhua's voice was quiet, but very firm.

"Xia is undoubtedly in love with Xiaoxiang. If I hadn't taken advantage of his gentleness, Xiaoxiang would be Xia's lover now."

The leaves outside the window rustled in the wind, and occasionally a few petals flew up with the wind and gently brushed across the glass window.

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a long time: "Why?"

She smiled slightly.

"Because... I like Xiaoxiang too. Both Xia and Xiaoxiang are very important people in my life.

Just like Xia doesn't want to see Xiaoxiang and I sad, I also want Xia to be happy, so as long as Xia likes it, I don't mind. "

The atmosphere between the two of them subtly eased, but there was a hint of embarrassment in Toyokawa Shoko's expression.

"I don't quite agree with this idea. But... I'm a little curious, Chuhua, how you plan to 'share'?"

"No matter how close Xiaoxiang and Xia get along, I will pretend not to see it. If Xiaoxiang needs help, he can come to me. Even..."

She suddenly paused, and the blush that had just disappeared crept up her cheeks again.

"Even if Xiaoxiang wants to do that kind of thing with Xia, I can help a little... But by then, Xia will definitely find out about our agreement."

Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks flushed instantly, and she nearly knocked over the coffee cup in her hand. She frantically pulled out a tissue to wipe away the spilled liquid, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Chu-Chuhua! What are you talking about!"

"I... I just want to show my sincerity..." Sanjiao Chuhua's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and her violet eyes were filled with shyness. "After all... it was me who stole Xia..."

(And if she could do it with Xiaoxiang, Xia would probably be very happy.)

The background music in the cafe just happened to switch to a soothing piano piece, drowning out the sound of their heartbeats. Toyokawa Shoko placed her hand gently on her chest, trying to calm her rapid breathing.

"It's too early for us to do this!"

………………

ps: I always feel that Chu Hua wants to make Xia a scumbag by saying this (

ps2: I didn't plan to do it with Xiaoxiang so early. Xiaoxiang should be put at the end of the list. Now I let her take the position of girlfriend so that I can be cuckolded better (Xia, whom Xiaoxiang is reluctant to let go, is stood up and kicked by others)
