Because at that moment, Eliza Shimizu was resting her head on his arm.
Ming Zefeng's gaze narrowed slightly.
[Sigh... After hugging him, what's with calling out another woman's name? Do you still like Ijichi-senpai?]
Naruzawa Kaede: "Huh?"
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Even Ichiji Hoshika came out. Naruzawa Maple didn't dare to think about what he had done.
"Ok?"
Eliza Shimizu blinked in confusion, then suddenly remembered that it was now Naruzawa Kaede's turn to be confused.
"Juli left the day before yesterday, so I brought you back."
Mingze Feng's doubts deepened: "Wasn't it yesterday?"
"It was yesterday. Maple-chan slept from yesterday morning until... let me think... this evening? More or less."
"I have absolutely no recollection of it..." Thinking about it now still gives me a headache.
Eliza Shimizu blinked, her eyes narrowed, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
"When we came here, Maple Sauce followed behind me, reaching out her hand to ask which was softer, a European-style mini bread or a European-style breast. Did you get the answer?"
Does this imply something?
Mingze Feng chose an answer from the bottom of his heart.
"Maybe it's bread, I'm not sure..."
As expected, the breasts are softer.
"Don't joke about things like this."
After adding this sentence, Mingze Feng got off the bed and straightened his collar, which had come undone at some point, while leaning against the wall.
Using a tone as if nothing had happened, she asked, "I'll go get some water, you—"
Eliza Shimizu: "I've put it on the table for you."
She curled up, "Remember to lock the door when you leave. I'm going to sleep a little longer. I have to get up tonight to finish my manuscript..."
Mingze Feng walked towards the door and casually asked, "No inspiration before dawn?"
Eliza Shimizu rolled over in bed and inadvertently lay down where Kaede Naruzawa had just been lying.
Her golden hair swayed with her movements, revealing the smooth, creamy skin on the back of her neck. Her thin silk nightgown was piled up at her waist, clearly showing how slender her waist was.
As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature, so Mingze Feng boldly turned around and took a few more glances.
All that could be seen was Eliza Shimizu's dangling toes hooking the lace bed curtains, and her voice—
"I'm so sleepy and don't want to move! Ugh, I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry and sleepy... my stomach is growling—"
"Then I'll cook you something to eat. What's in the fridge?"
"...Why don't you go buy some? All I have are potatoes and bacon. You cook whatever you like, I'll eat it all. Don't bother me until it's done, okay?"
Lying face down on the bed, Eliza Shimizu pressed down hard on the power button on her phone beneath her.
He rubbed his eyes with his other hand, his calm face still veiled with sleepiness.
Click——
The bedroom door was closed.
Mingze Feng regretted his words as soon as they were spoken. He's been doing things he regrets immediately these past few days; he needs to change this habit.
This is a clash between reason and body. Reason tells me that I should keep my distance at this time, while body tells me to ignore Kiku for now.
Reason was almost winning over the body; after all, it's already terrible to have sex just because you're lusting after someone, especially since that person is Hiroi Kikuri's best friend...
The thought of another blonde figure was enough for Naruzawa Kaede to control his pants.
I dared not move, not even a single hair on my head.
But in the end, it was the narration beside the girl that made him change his mind.
Taking potatoes out of the refrigerator and peeling them, Mingze Feng was still thinking about Shimizu Eliza lying on the bed, and the few beams of light and shadow beside her when he left.
Let's stay a little longer...
Humility, don't...
Eliza Shimizu's family is from England, but she came to this area alone. She had no friends after arriving and initially wanted to join an anime band, but Kikuri Hiroi snatched her away and got into the group. She joined the group only a month or two before Kaede Narusawa.
Aside from online friends, she only has these few friends in the band in Tokyo.
She must be lonely too...
Then she couldn't just leave, after all, they were bandmates, and besides, she was the one who took care of herself after she got drunk...
When Mingze Feng returned to the room with the prepared food, Shimizu Eliza had already sat up, leaning against the headboard, her long golden hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking at him sleepily.
The phone, which was turned off, was placed on the bedside table.
"It smells so good..." She rubbed her eyes and gave a lazy smile.
[As expected, Kiku-chan's method works really well!]
What did that woman, Kiku, say to you...?
Eliza Shimizu took the bowl, gently blew on it to cool it, and began to sip the hot liquid.
Ming Zefeng sat on the edge of the bed, watching her eat, feeling somewhat conflicted.
"Last night...did I do anything strange?" Mingze Feng asked tentatively.
Eliza Shimizu looked up, blinked, chuckled softly, and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Many aspects.
Naruzawa Kaede: "I want to say, I'm sorry... I've caused you a lot of trouble..."
Eliza Shimizu shook her head. "It's nothing. We got to know each other before, and I was used to it when I helped Shima drag Kiku.
"But... don't drink so much next time, it's bad for your health."
The blonde girl, with a faint smile, spoke softly, giving instructions on this and that.
It was as if she had no recollection of what had happened the day before.
Mingze Feng listened quietly, responding occasionally.
He could occasionally catch a glimpse of those lively words out of the corner of his eye.
[A smiling girl is bound to have good luck. See? She wanted to chat with you, and then you stayed.]
Chapter Twenty-One: SickHack's Reputation Rises, and the Rebellious Young Girl Yamada Ryo...
The moon rises above the treetops.
A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, accompanied by the cries of crows and birds, their origins unknown. Even as spring approaches, the lingering chill in the air serves as a constant reminder that winter is not yet over.
Perhaps when spring truly arrives, everything will be alright.
However, it's rather sad to place our hopes on an unknown future. But what can we do right now besides wait?
She turned around and went upstairs to tell Eliza Shimizu that she was sorry and that she was a good person.
Or do I just prefer bigger ones? There happen to be some sheets here, can we roll around together?
The fact that he was lusting after someone's body is a bit too obvious.
However, now that things have come to this, it seems that it's not impossible.
After all, Eliza Shimizu probably saw the way he was peeking earlier. Don't think girls are blind; sometimes, a gaze fixed on you can be incredibly obvious.
It seems that Eliza Shimizu also had this idea.
If we disregard the band's future, Naruzawa Kaede wouldn't hesitate to apologize to Hiroi Kikuri. But Naruzawa Kaede is still counting on the SickHack band, formed by his members, to break out of Tokyo and East Asia, and then use their achievements to slap Shoko in the face.
Now, having secured first place at an unconfirmed music festival, the band has caught the first tailwind of their success. Next up are performances in various locations.
The band's internal opinion is to only accept live performances first, and then rent stages to hold large-scale live performances later.
For a band that's just starting out like this, the importance of stability goes without saying.
"..."
After leaving Eliza Shimizu's house and turning two corners, a shady pine forest appeared on the right.
The sky was overcast and gray; elsewhere in winter, only bare branches remained, while the green groves stood out all the more.
Mingze Feng paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered where this place was.
It's a ten-minute walk from here to the station, and a five-minute walk to the Yamada residence. Last November, Narusawa Kaede would come here twice every weekend.
This grove is where Narusawa Kaede first met Yamada's father.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Two months have passed already.
Touching the rough bark, one can't help but marvel at how quickly time flies.
Two months ago, we took a walk along this road together. We explored nearby restaurants, bought groceries to cook for ourselves, and sat together on a wooden bench in this park, quietly watching the last leaves fall...
There's no going back.
Toyokawa Shoko came and went, SickHack thrived, Narusawa Kaede met Wakaba Mutsu and Kaname Rakuna.
I wonder how she's doing in Vienna...
"Ugh..."
"Hey..."
The same sigh came from the other side of the tree.
Clearly, the other person had also noticed someone was there, and their sigh abruptly stopped.
As Mingze Feng peered out from behind the small trees, he met a familiar gaze.
Father Yamada?
The other person narrowed their eyes, clearly wanting to say something. Their lips twitched, but they said nothing. They simply hardened their face and prepared to leave.
Out of the corner of my eye, I inadvertently caught sight of the words next to the other person.
The gilded characters shone brightly against the empty night sky.
[Ryou, where did you go... those idiot cops in Tokyo!]
Even though the security situation is good now and I'm not worried about danger, I'm still worried that something might happen to her.
"Something happened, Liang?"
"..."
Yamada's father stopped in his tracks, frowned, and turned his head.
[This kid... even though the private investigator said Liang hasn't been around him, he might know something...]
"...Here's my business card. If you hear anything bad, call me."
"Uncle..."
"No, please don't call me uncle, I can't accept that. Call me if you have any news, three million or five million is fine, okay?"
Yamada's father left in a hurry.
Ming Zefeng stood on the street corner, holding a business card in his hand, his brows furrowed.
According to the other party, Liang had been out of contact with them since before the Lunar New Year.
Years ago?
At that time, Naruzawa Kaede's phone was switched off, and he and Toyokawa Shoko were cut off from the outside world for two whole weeks.
Mingze Feng opened his phone, opened his communication with Liang, and tried to edit a message. He was able to send it, but there was no response and it did not show as read.
The chat interface between Naruzawa Kaede and Toyokawa Shoko was also like this. Thanks to Shoko's skillful blocking and severing of contacts, Naruzawa Kaede was quite familiar with this state and didn't feel anything.
He made a call, but the automated message on the other end said "no one is answering," so Mingze Feng hung up.
