Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

[I only ever carry or hug them while they sleep!]

What should I do? Should I close my eyes, or pout? No, no, should I hug her too?

[Oh dear! We didn't learn these silly things in etiquette class!]

Toyokawa Shoko's heart was trembling violently.

Naruzawa Kaede pressed his forehead against hers without saying a word. Seeing how nervous Toyokawa Shoko was, Naruzawa Kaede realized that he had been a bit too hasty.

Because of Xingge's matter, when he saw Xiangzi making an angry expression, Mingze Feng immediately hugged Fengchuan Xiangzi in his arms.

But Toyokawa Shoko is truly beautiful. After her recent rest, her hair is no longer messy, but smooth and silky, carrying a youthful fragrance. Her skin is fair and delicate, and her demeanor is poised and elegant, like a noble princess.

Toyokawa Shoko vomited out lip balm today. From this distance, you could see the trembling of the girl's eyelashes and her hurriedly panting lips. Her pink lips were like small cherries, with an alluring fragrance of apple and lemon.

What did Xiangzi's kiss taste like?

This is how relationships between men and women are. From chatting to hugging and cuddling, it may only take one more step, or perhaps just one more kiss.

Do you want to kiss me?

If this were a pure romance drama, Narusawa Kaede would probably already be a son-in-law of the Yamada or Toyokawa family. But now he's caught between two girls...

Naruzawa Kaede pursed her lips, and before Toyokawa Shoko could react, she touched her cheek, then asked casually:

"Is there anything you'd like for Christmas?"

Feeling the lingering heat quickly disappear from her face, Toyokawa Shoko bit her lower lip, suppressing her embarrassment. Always obedient to Narusawa Kaede, she followed his lead and asked, "Christmas?"

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sleeping with Xiang, the Night is Long

"Anything is fine. I'll like anything that Feng gives me."

Toyokawa Shoko herself didn't know what she wanted, but Narusawa Kaede saw it clearly. Toyokawa Shoko wanted many things: her mother to come back to life, to turn back time to a year ago...

This is probably even harder than plucking stars from the sky; it's simply beyond the capabilities of this worldview.

A more realistic approach would be to take 16 billion yen to Yamada Ryo and make him choose between a man and 16 billion yen.

At the same time, Mingze Feng also overheard Xiaoxiang and Liangsang's conversation.

Touching Xiaoxiang's hair, Mingze Feng really started to think about what Yamada Ryo would choose. Actually, there was no need to think about it; Ryo-san's actions were always unusual.

If it were Liang Sang, he would definitely run off with 16 billion yen, then grab Mingze Feng and run. They would leave Tokyo together, leave Japan. They would go to the docks in Pudong, to the top of New York, to see the London Bridge over the Thames, to Strasbourg for a Christmas celebration, and then to Vienna's Golden Theatre to listen to a world-class performance.

Finally, they find a deserted wilderness, settle down in a house, install internet, and the two of them listen to music and play cards together, growing old together.

That night.

Naruzawa Kaede drifted off to sleep with this dream in mind; the story featured more than one heroine and was quite noisy. But Naruzawa Kaede slept soundly, perhaps because the pillow in his arms was so warm.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't sleep.

Although she was used to being used as a body pillow at night, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't fall asleep tonight, so she turned over.

Next year... tuition... father is gone... the Toyokawa family... and...

Is there anything else I'd like to do...?

When Mingze Feng woke up from his sweet dream, the scene of having two girls on his left and right was gone. Fortunately, he was still holding a soft girl in his arms. Her fragrance lingered around him, and her light blue hair tickled his chin.

If love had a list of meanings, then embracing in the dead of night would definitely be at the very top of the list. Only in this way can one describe the joy of waking up to find the girl in one's arms.

Xiangzi swayed her shoulders, and Mingze Feng raised her arm. The girl rolled over, and when her arm landed on Xiangzi's waist again, Toyokawa Xiangzi was already blinking her bright eyes.

Eyes that are full of energy and spirit are definitely more attractive.

As Naruzawa Kaede was thinking this, she saw the scrolling entries next to Toyokawa Shoko.

There's no longer a reason to stay outside.

Should I just go back to the Toyokawa family's place like this? If I don't, it'll be difficult to pay for Haneoka's tuition next year. Of course, I could use Narusawa Kaede's card, but if things continue like this...

What's the point?

If I just stay by Maple's side...

[Furthermore, she uses Feng's card to go to school, buys groceries with Feng's money, and shares a room and bed with Feng. It's practically the same as being kept by a sugar daddy.]

[But if it's Maple, hehe...]

Miss Xiangzi's thoughts were so unpredictable that Mingze Feng couldn't help but laugh. To prevent Miss Xiangzi from noticing, Mingze Feng hugged her tightly.

Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks flushed slightly as she shrank her neck and burrowed deeper into the blankets, not wanting Narusawa Kaede to see her silly grin.

Patting Xiangzi on the shoulder, Mingze Feng pondered and said:

"Xiangzi, you really don't have anything on your mind—"

Toyokawa Shoko: "Whatever happens, it's fine."

The girl nudged his chest.

Mingze Feng: "No, that's not it. I mean, is there anything you want to do? Think about what you've been doing in the past, what you can do now, and what you want to do in the future."

What do you want to do...?

"I think..."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice lowered, and Narusawa Kaede could feel the arms behind her tightening their grip. In her panic, Toyokawa Shoko tried to press even closer.

"Feng, aren't we doing well now...? I..."

Shoko Toyokawa, trying to calm herself, murmured from under the covers, "I don't know either..."

Xiao Xiang raised his head, his eyes glistening, as if tears were welling up in them.

"Did I do something wrong...?"

Let's just watch her performance quietly; Toyokawa Shoko didn't actually cry.

Clever and quick-witted, yet adorably clumsy, with superb acting skills and a youthful innocence. The girl curled up in bed now is like a custom-made work of art, perfectly matching Mingze Feng's tastes.

Naruzawa Kaede pinched Sho's cheek, unconsciously rubbing his fingers, then frowned. Based on his experience with Hiroi Kikuri, Naruzawa Kaede felt that Sho had lost some weight.

After Narusawa Kaede said that to her, Toyokawa Shoko blinked and said with slight resistance, "Isn't it better to be slimmer?"

Anyone who has ever been hungry knows that a full stomach is the most delicious food.

Mingze Feng: "Is it because you're working too late at Fanxing? I can support you if you come home."

“No way!” Toyokawa Shoko shouted, “Besides, I’m worried about Boss Hoshika and Fanxing.”

"Even the employees are thinking about the boss."

"Sister Xingge is a good person." Toyokawa Shoko said, describing how the sharp-tongued but kind-hearted tsundere shop owner in the Starry Night shop cared for her juniors and helped them with their work, and also mentioning the existence of Ijichi Nijika.

"A tough-looking older sister who isn't straightforward, and a kind-hearted younger sister who is cute on the outside but strong on the inside."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her eyes and looked at Narusawa Kaede with a rather complicated expression.

While dating his older sister, he was also having an ambiguous relationship with his younger sister's classmate.

"Does Manager Xingge know that you're having an affair with underage girls?" Toyokawa Shoko asked.

“She doesn’t even know I’m a minor… I plan to wait until I turn 18 next year before bringing this up, so as not to scare her.”

Next year I'll be seventeen, and the year after that eighteen.

[No wonder he was so proactive and aggressive with Manager Xingge... I almost thought they weren't the same person when he was trying to get information out of her, turns out he was using the "forced conquest" tactic.]

Well, in that case, there's nothing wrong with it. Back then, Narusawa Kaede and Iji Tomoka met, and things really sparked between them.

Currently, Narusawa Kaede and Iji Tomoka are mutually satisfying, which is why Narusawa Kaede can remain unmoved while holding Toyokawa Shoko. Of course, the Toyokawa family, who have not yet appeared, also play a part in this.

Toyokawa Shoko poked Narusawa Kaede's waist, and as they chatted, Narusawa Kaede asked her if there was anything she wanted to do.

"Now there is."

Toyokawa Shoko stretched her arm out from under the covers to look for her phone on the bedside table.

First, she got hold of Mingze Feng's phone. After pressing the power button, she saw an unanswered message.

Ryo Yamada: "Okay, let's go see bass together tomorrow."

"Isn't there a ScikHack performance tomorrow?"

"We'll go together then, since Shimokitazawa still has half the game left. Plus, the bass shop will give us a 50% discount."

"What about me then?"

"How about I bring you back a cake?"

Mingze Feng received a cold shoulder from Xiangzi and was dubbed the "Master of Time Management".

Toyokawa Shoko found her phone for the second time and easily located the audio that Narusawa Kaede had posted on TikTok. The two songs had somehow climbed onto the new song charts, garnering numerous likes and comments, but Toyokawa Shoko hadn't bothered to look at them.

Toyokawa Shoko hummed a lullaby to the rhythm of the music. She raised her chin, her lips curved into a smile, and her fingers tapped back and forth, making Narusawa Kaede feel a slight itch in his chest.

Without a doubt, Toyokawa Shoko was thinking about happy things.

I want to hear you sing this song.

"Just like... the last time you coaxed your Liang Sang to sleep."

"Please, please, I won't tell Liang. Sing me a song!"

Let's sing then.

Naruzawa Kaede doesn't respond to force, only to gentle persuasion. Toyokawa Shoko understands this perfectly, and has always considered herself a cute girl, staying by his side.

When you're with someone you trust, you can let go of everything, say whatever you want, and express your thoughts freely. When you're with someone close to you, your voice naturally softens.

Shoko Toyokawa chuckled softly. Having finished the song, she now wanted to hear a story.

Following her lead, Ming Zefeng finished singing and started telling stories. Since he had already heard the fairy tale "Xiangzi," Ming Zefeng simply combined several online novels together.

Nine dragons pulling a coffin, a mysterious ring, a small green bottle...

"Speaking of which, Xiangzi, would you like an electronic keyboard?"

Receiving no reply, the girl closed her eyes, her head resting on the pillow. Mingze Feng's arm went under her neck, and he could feel the girl's body temperature.

This also confirmed once again that he had no talent for plagiarism. Sigh, he even managed to fall asleep during this.

Anyway, good night.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Life and the Distant Horizon, Ichiji Hoshika's Wise Time

The next day.

The performance went smoothly as always, and SickHack received cheers and applause from the audience, a share of the profits from the boss, and free drinks.

Hiroi Kiku took a portion, adhering to Narusawa Kaede's principle of enjoying a little wine in moderation, controlling the amount of alcohol to a level that wouldn't give her a headache but would still make her feel lightheaded.

Of course, Kikuri Hiroi isn't always able to control herself.

If Hiroi Kikuri drinks until her face turns red and she's sweating, and she's still saying she's thirsty, Shimizu Eliza will secretly contact Narusawa Kaede to take Hiroi Kikuri away, in a corner unknown to Iwashita Shima.

That's how this celebration party went. After the first round, Mingze Feng made an excuse to leave. Last time, the celebration party ended up at Shimizu Eliza's house, so it's best to avoid that kind of risk.

So, Mingze Feng naturally went to Fanxing.

When Eliza Shimizu called, Narusawa Kaede wasn't really keen on coming. Staying at Fanxing meant having the sweet, soft Hoshika after a bath; but coming to pick up Hiroi Kikuri would only leave him reeking of alcohol.

If you're not careful, you might end up with a face covered in a mixture of alcohol and saliva, and even your clothes might get soaked.

He hoisted Kikuto Hiroi onto his shoulder, letting her wrap one arm around his shoulder to support half of her weight.

Mingze Feng glanced at her, then turned to stare at her, narrowing his eyes.

Eliza's idea is brilliant!

Hiroi Kikuri deliberately pressed her entire body against them, making it impossible for them to breathe, and mumbled incoherently in her drunken state.

"Maple Sauce~"

How cheesy! Goosebumps rose all over his body. Mingze Feng's shoulders trembled. Three parts were due to the cold weather, and seven parts were due to Hiroi Kikuri.

Mingze Feng withdrew his gaze.

The drunkard's narration is illogical nonsense.

At this moment, Hiroi Kikuri had clearly revealed the "retreat to advance," "wait for the right moment," and "lure the snake out of its hole" strategies that Shimizu Eliza had given her.
