Before, she would steal glances now and then, but now she just stares blankly to herself. At least seeing Mikasa Hatsuka lost in thought didn't make Toyokawa Shoko feel uncomfortable. It was much better than the feeling of constantly meeting her furtive gazes.

You call that normal?

Mingze Feng swallowed hard. In his mind, he still saw the image of Sanjiao Chuhua being hysterical, crying, suddenly kneeling, and gloating from being tortured.

But what about the triangular Hatsuka mentioned by Toyokawa Shoko?

She is glamorous, strong and gentle. She encourages her teammates with her smile, brings donuts to share with them, and exchanges ideas with Xiao Mu about their understanding of the guitar.

It was when he was talking to Xiangzi,

In the dressing room of Avemujica in Tokyo, Misumi Hatsuka has become everyone's beloved older sister, a strong guitarist and vocalist.

"..."

Naruzawa Kaede wanted to talk to Shoko about Mika Mika, so Junda Mana brought Mika Mika here.

Sankaku Hatsuka stared intently at Naruzawa Kaede, as if afraid he might actually confront Shoko about something.

Shoko Toyokawa, having tidied her clothes, sat down next to Kaede Narusawa ahead of time. She greeted Mana Junda and then stood up with a smile.

Mingze Feng tried to persuade her to stay, but Xiangzi raised her chin and waved her phone in her hand.

"Next time you call, I hope it's just for me. With so many younger sisters and older sisters, it's like entering the Grand View Garden."

"Chuhua, let's go."

"what?"

Misaka Hatsuka was intently staring at Narusawa Kaede when she heard Shoko's words, and she paused for a moment. Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko's attitude towards her hadn't changed, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her steps faltered slightly.

After these few days of reflection, and the experience of flying back and forth between Tokyo and London, Mikasa realized that Hatsuka wasn't actually in love with anyone; it was just a simple...

I will never forget what happened that day.

Misaka Chuka swallowed hard, her gaze shifting from Toyokawa Shoko to Narusawa Kaede, unwilling to leave at this time.

After Junda Mana greeted Narusawa Kaede, she also heard Toyokawa Shoko call out to Mikasa Hatsuka to leave together. She was somewhat stunned.

It's not like Junda Mana really fell in love with anyone. She was just covering for Toyokawa Shoko to act as a wingman for Misumi Hatsuka.

Where the main force has left, it's time to support our own forces.

"That..."

Hatsuka Sanka hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and waved to Mana Junda, "Goodbye, Mana. I'm leaving now..."

"Yes." Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

Toyokawa Shoko smiled at Sumita Mana.

Mana Junda recognized that smile so well. She often wore it too. It was that kind of encouraging smile.

Mana Junda felt a chill run down her spine.

[Good heavens! The daughter of the company's future owner is encouraging me to pursue her man. Is this a sign of moral decay or a lack of humanity?]

Mingze Feng's eyelids twitched. After all, forcing things wouldn't be sweet, so it was best not to force him.

"Well, I checked the time, it's almost time. I'll go find a bar. Perfect timing..."

Before Narusawa Kaede could finish speaking, he noticed that Junda Mana's face was growing paler. Her eyes kept glancing at Toyokawa Shoko before meeting those calm, golden eyes.

"Woo..."

How terrifying... Miss Xiangzi's eyes are so scary! If I do nothing, I'll be suspected.

Junta Mana shifted her body, trying to turn her back to Toyokawa Shoko, and stood in front of Narusawa Kaede, extending an invitation to go on a trip together.

"Mr. Feng...I..."

How can I put it?! Junda Mana wailed inwardly. All these years of training, competitions, and practice to get into SW Agency, her biggest hobby has been donuts.

God knows why things turned out this way.

Inviting men to hang out or something...

Woo...

Looking at the tearful face before him, the terrified little beast seemed about to be scared to death.

Why did she end up like this?

Ming Zefeng sighed and waved to Xiangzi, "Go on, go on, it's good to be busy. Call me if you get lonely."

"You're being silly too."

As Toyokawa Shoko spoke, she rolled her eyes at Narusawa Kaede and turned to leave. Mikasa Hatsuka glanced at Junda Mana again before joining Toyokawa Shoko.

Mingze Feng watched the blue-haired figure disappear into the distance, somewhat dazed. A few months ago, downstairs, he had watched her leave in the same way. Only then, Xiangzi looked a little thinner.

Has Xiangzi grown taller?

He still has a sharp edge, but he's no longer as irritable as before; instead, he seems to be handling things with ease.

Perhaps this is what growing up is all about.

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly turned around and glanced back.

She raised her arm.

Mingze Feng was somewhat expectant.

Then, we saw Miss Xiangzi make an internationally friendly gesture.

"Next time, I won't hold back! Just wait to be defeated!"

Mingze Feng chuckled to himself.

He's grown up, but not completely; he's still that chuunibyou (delusional) Xiao Xiang.

Naruzawa Kaede waved, and Toyokawa Shoko turned her head away again, never looking back.

Although neither of them mentioned it, they both knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their next meeting would be on some stage.

Toyokawa Shoko walked further and further away, but Narusawa Kaede could always spot her steady steps in the crowd. Golden rays of light fell from the sparse clouds, like staircases leading to a sacred place, landing beside Toyokawa Shoko.

The noise of the crowd gradually rose again. Ming Zefeng felt someone stand up next to him, maintaining the same posture, both gazing into the distance.

"Miss Xiangzi is truly a decisive and efficient person."

Hearing such a voice beside him, Mingze Feng turned his head to look at the girl who had just been trembling with fear.

At this moment, Junda Mana returned to her usual lively self.

The slight upturn of the lips, the gesture of spreading and bringing the five fingers together, and the vivid expression all convey emotions.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that Mana Junda did not have black hair. In the golden sunlight, the ends of her long brown hair cascaded down her shoulders and onto the black sleeves of her dress.

A few beams of light shone on Junda Mana's cheeks, like scattered gold dust.

As Naruzawa Kaede's gaze lingered on her, the girl seemed to sense that she was being watched.

Junta Mana's eyelashes trembled slightly, her forehead lifted slightly, and her eyes sparkled with a lively light as she met Narusawa Kaede's gaze.

Mingze Feng thought that she had probably really cried just now.

The redness under her eyes was undeniable, but Naruzawa Kaede's gaze was still irresistibly drawn to Junta Mana's delicate skin and full, red lips beneath her delicate nose.

Junda Mana's lips curled up slightly. She hummed and smiled, revealing a dimple at the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you for earlier."

Its sound is crisp and clear, even more pleasant than birdsong on a summer morning.

At this moment, Mingze Feng remembered that she was also the lead singer of Sumimi. Her voice, without any embellishment, already demonstrated the wonders of nature.

Mingze Feng nodded, then packed his things to leave.

There wasn't much to pack, I just shook the coat that Xiangzi had sat on a couple of times and put it back on.

London in early April wasn't exactly cool, but it wasn't warm either.

"Wait a minute... I haven't properly thanked you yet..."

As she said this, Junda Mana saw that Narusawa Kaede was about to leave, so she reached out and grabbed the hem of Narusawa Kaede's clothes.

Naruzawa Kaede glanced at the hand on the hem of her clothes, and Junda Mana also withdrew her hand in fright, her cheeks turning red.

"..."

What's with this feeling of a youth campus romance comedy?

Mingze Feng looked at her amusedly, "How are you planning to thank me? You really want to pursue me? I don't sell myself."

"No way, idols aren't allowed to date. I already told Mr. Feng that..."

Junda Mana paused, startled as she spoke.

She asked, "Did Miss Xiangzi tell you everything?"

Mingze Feng nodded. "I told her you were going to pursue me. I explained it to her, but she didn't believe me."

"It's so complicated, I don't know how to explain it to you..."

Junda Mana glanced back and saw that Toyokawa Shoko had indeed walked far away, and only then did she feel relieved.

"There's something I'd like to ask of Mr. Feng. I hope you can grant my request, is that alright?"

As she spoke, Junda Mana put on a pitiful look again.

Please, just pretend to be dating me, so I can explain myself to Miss Xiangzi.

Chapter 29 The key to victory is Junda Mana

Mingze Feng withdrew his gaze, ignoring how cute she was trying to be, and shook his head.

"You speak first."

"Shouldn't a lovely girl like me have special privileges?"

"Girls as cute as you, I could take them all down with one punch."

Junda Mana exclaimed in shock: "Domestic violence!?"

"nonsense!"

Mingze Feng glared at her. What kind of nice word is that? But if we're talking about emotional abuse, he was indeed subjected to domestic violence by Xiangzi.

No, now is not the time to talk about this.

Junda Mana also felt that the conversation had gone a bit off track.

The girl tilted her head, her slender white fingers curled into cat paw shapes and placed beside her face. She was acting like a spoiled little animal.

"Just agree to it, I won't let Mr. Feng suffer a loss."

"I've already said I don't sell myself."

Junda Mana choked on the words she was about to say, feeling as if Narusawa Kaede knew exactly what she was going to say and blocked her from speaking.

"Ugh......"

This was the first time she had been treated so unwelcomely. Junda Mana lowered her arms in dejection and sat down on the bench where Narusawa Kaede and Toyokawa Shoko had just been sitting.

His tone of voice also lacked its usual energy or cuteness.

"I really don't understand..."

Junda Mana looked at Narusawa Kaede with a deep gaze, "You and Miss Shoko have gone too far. You're so strict with yourself, but Shoko is hoping you'll have an affair... and you have so many girlfriends."

"Why hasn't the Toyokawa family thrown you into the Seto Inland Sea yet...?"

She said this, and Mingze Feng also felt a little melancholy.

He really didn't know about the Toyokawa family back then.

It wasn't until he started living with Xiangzi that Mingze Feng realized how incredibly lucky he was.

But this is not Xiangzi's fault.

"It's not Xiangzi's fault...it's all because I was too fickle before."

After Naruzawa Kaede finished speaking, he saw Junta Mana arrive with an even more complicated expression.

"no..."
