Miss Nagasaki must have some 'intelligence' to come to him on her own initiative, and she immediately tried to trick him with the little wooden stick, probably because she's convinced that he knows Xiangzi.

However, her motives and thoughts were also quite obvious to Kazami Mei.

It was precisely because he had guessed what Ms. Suze was thinking that he would not reveal any flaws. At the same time, Kazami Naru’s slightly puzzled and emotionless performance made Nagasaki Suze, who had already made many guesses, somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that Kazami Mei and Kosho really have no connection?

Although she still harbored some doubts, Nagasaki Motoyo focused her attention on another sentence.

"...Ming-sang, so you really know Xiao-xiang?"

This unexpected surprise softened Nagasaki Motoyo's slightly sharp yet sweet voice, and even the 'smile' she usually showed to others seemed to disappear at this moment.

Instead, she revealed a more authentic side of herself.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized that it was not good to use the small piece of wood to trick Kazami Naru, and immediately bowed her head sincerely to apologize to him.

"I'm sorry, Ming-san! I didn't mean to say that about Xiao-mu,"

"I just... really wanted to know about Xiao Xiang..."

Nagasaki Motoyo's tone was full of disappointment, and she quickly apologized as if she was afraid that Kazami Naru would dislike her.

“I haven’t been able to contact Xiaoxiang since CRYCHIC disbanded, and she hasn’t replied to my messages. I’m really, really worried about her!”

"Ming-sang, you should know where Xiao-xiang went, right? Could you please tell me...?"

The map of Yan is really short; it's like revealing the true intentions behind the map.

Miss Nagasaki was indeed trying to extract information about Professor Daisho from him, and as Toyokawa Shoko's friend, Kazami Mei naturally wouldn't tell her such important news.

It's important to know that the current Ms. Daisho is fundamentally different from Ms. Nagasaki.

Shoko Toyokawa, whose life had changed drastically, now lived a life of extreme poverty and hardship every day.

Not only does she have to hand-wash her clothes to save on electricity bills, but she also has to save on food expenses, eating monotonous bean sprout lunches with no nutrition every day. She even has to be careful with everyday items like towels. Her black and blue dress has faded and turned white from washing it so much that she can't even afford a new dress!

If life is already this difficult and he's still being entangled with Su Shi, Xiangzi would probably be on the verge of tears.

"If what happened with Xiao Mu just made you unhappy, Ming Sang, I apologize now!"

"I'll apologize to you, I'll do anything you ask, but I really want to get in touch with Xiao Xiang..."

Nagasaki Motoyo was also aware that Kazami Naruto in front of her was very likely to know about Shoko's current situation. Right now, he was her lifeline for 'CRYCHIC', and she didn't want to let go easily this time no matter what.

She wanted to restore her 'home', CRYCHIC.

"Although I really want to help you, I'm not quite sure either."

Kazami Mei gently held up the white porcelain cup of black tea and spoke in a calm tone without the slightest hesitation.

"You really don't know? Then how did you come to know Xiao Xiang, Ming Sang?"

Her fingers trembled slightly as she held the teacup. Nagasaki Motoyo, her emotions growing increasingly agitated, leaned forward, her long, soft, warm light brown hair cascading down her chest. A hint of anxiety seemed to creep into her clear, azure eyes.

"I only happened to run into her while I was working, and I don't know what her situation is now."

Kazami Mei didn't tell a single lie.

He only communicated with Ms. Da Xiang when he was working part-time, and occasionally he would have lunch with Ms. Da Xiang at school. But other than that, he never contacted Toyokawa Shoko and didn't even know where she lived.

"...Is that so?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and judging from Kazami Naru's expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

However, she still had many doubts in her heart.

Nagasaki Motoyo realized that her friend Wakaba Mutsu and Kazami Mei's relationship was not simple. Before this, she had no idea that Kazami Mei existed, let alone that Mutsu had such a friend.

That's Mumu, who's like a doll. To this day, she's the only one who's ever been so fond of her...

It was just Xiao Xiang all by himself!

"But……"

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to be about to ask something more, but just then a clear bell rang out from the cafe entrance.

Kazami Mei's attention was immediately drawn to the strange noise coming from the doorway.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was initially a little anxious, noticed a hint of surprise on his face. Somewhat puzzled, she slowly turned around and looked towards the door, where she spotted a very familiar figure.

"..."

Standing at the door was a girl also wearing the Moon Forest school uniform.

Slender and petite, she stood expressionless at the back. A pale pink, as vibrant as cherry blossom petals, pierced through her snow-white skin, tinging her doll-like, exquisitely perfect cheeks. Fine beads of sweat covered her smooth face, causing her long, soft, and translucent light green hair to gently cling to her face.

Judging from her slightly panting movements, she must have rushed over.

But it was precisely because a blush of pink, completely different from her usual expressionless and aloof face, that came as a huge contrast struck Kazami Mei's heart like Cupid's arrow.

Little Wooden Head's face was as delicate and luscious as a ripe peach, so cute that you just wanted to take a bite.

"Xiao Mu...?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, who immediately realized who the other person was, had her expression become extremely stiff.

She never expected that Ruoye Mu would appear in this place, and judging from her sweaty appearance, she obviously knew what she had done and that's why she came looking for her!

The girl's calm, golden eyes made Nagasaki Motoyo feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Perhaps because she remembered what Wakaba Mutsu had said, she was momentarily at a loss.

"Um, Mu..."

"Ming, this has nothing to do with Xiao Xiang's matter."

Wakaba Mutsu gently shook his head, then stepped past Nagasaki Motoyo and went directly to Kazami Naru's side.

"..."

The girl reached out her small hand and gently tugged at Kazami's sleeve. Even though she didn't say anything, her light golden eyes, filled with a hint of worry, softened his heart.

And the fine beads of sweat on his forehead instantly made Kazami Mei have no intention of refusing.

Who can stand this?

"I'm sorry, Su Shi, it seems I have to go now."

Kazami Naru, who was being gently pulled away by Wakaba Mutsu, casually greeted Nagasaki Motoyo beside her, and then left the cafe with Wakaba Mutsu without looking back, leaving behind the money for her tea before leaving.

Only Su Shi remained, holding a white porcelain cup of red tea, sitting there with a somewhat dejected expression.

She could tell that Wakaba Mutsu was genuinely angry this time.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo was still unwilling to give up. Although Kazami Mei only said that he had no special relationship with Toyokawa Shoko, she felt that something was not right. She trusted her intuition very much and could not give up just like that.

"I can't give up yet, even if Xiao Mu hates me..."

She is determined to reconcile everyone and revive the wonderful CRYCHIC of the past.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Am Different From Them [7 words]

The novel of Xianxun: The story of the nine clams of the angel

Perhaps because of Nagasaki Motoyo, the little wooden girl, who was holding his sleeve and walking forward with her head down, seemed a little unhappy. It wasn't until they were some distance away from the cafe that her pace gradually slowed down.

"..."

Perhaps because he had expended a lot of energy earlier, Ruoye Mu's face was still covered with beads of sweat.

This somewhat awkward posture was clearly unbecoming of a young lady, but it did not attract Ruoye Mu's attention. On the contrary, Ruoye Mu felt that she had not arrived in time and began to feel annoyed.

Wakaba Mutsu slowly turned his head and looked at Kazami Mei beside him.

In those calm, golden eyes, there seemed to be a faint, almost imperceptible sense of loss, almost the complete opposite of the indifferent look he had given Nagasaki Motoyo earlier.

"Ming, I'm sorry."

"Xiao Mu doesn't need to apologize to me, does she?"

Kazami Naruto found it somewhat amusing; he could understand what the little wooden boy was thinking now.

She probably inadvertently revealed some things about herself, which made Nagasaki Motoyo guess that he had some connection with Shoko. She also failed to stop Shoko from pestering her, so she felt that she had done something wrong and became this pitiful.

Putting everything else aside, there's no way Kazami Mei could blame her.

"Su Shi didn't make things difficult for me; she just wanted to ask about Xiangzi."

"I didn't say much about Xiangzi, so Mu, you don't need to worry too much."

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow slightly, offering a helpless consolation to the doll-like girl before her.

If he were to reveal any information about Shoko to Nagasaki Motoyo, Little Wood, who was already caught in the middle, would be in an even more difficult position, since both Shoko and Motoyo were her good friends.

If she were disliked by both sides at the same time, she would feel incredibly wronged.

"..."

Even after being slightly comforted by Kazami Mei, Wakaba Mutsu simply nodded lightly with a blank expression.

Clearly, her mood had not improved.

Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Kazami Mei slowly took out her clean handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the fine sweat from Wakaba Mutsu's face.

This affectionate gesture made Xiao Mu pause slightly, and then she nuzzled her face against his hand like a kitten.

His actions were so adorable that he didn't know how to react.

Even in real life, he would be stunned by Xiao Mutou's simple combo.

Kazami Mei couldn't even imagine what her mental state would be like in the simulation.

"Mu, would you like to get something to eat?"

"want."

Being by Kazami's side probably gave her a lot of peace of mind.

As Ye Mu gradually returned to her usual calm state, what was different from before was that she became more and more decisive in her speech, as if she could speak her innermost desires without any worries when facing him.

When Kazami Mei bought two ice creams from the dessert stand next to her, a faint light seemed to shine in Wakaba Mutsu's eyes. She reached out her two small hands and took a greenish-blue ice cream from him, while sticking out her little tongue to lick it lightly.

In the sweltering heat of summer, the cool breeze and sweet taste of a smooth, creamy ice cream can always help to gradually relax one's mood.

Kazami Mei suddenly noticed the bracelet on Wakaba Mutsu's left wrist. The cheap, emerald-green glass beads, set against the girl's fair and delicate skin, revealed a mesmerizing, elegant luster.

This was the first gift he gave to the little wooden boy.

Unexpectedly, he wore the little wooden piece on his hand every day without taking it off. The feeling of being valued by the little wooden piece was like a Fiora slashing four times in a second, breaking through his defenses.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Mu, how did you find me?"

Seeing that Wakaba Mutsu's emotions had gradually calmed down, Kazami Mei finally spoke up to ask a question.

When Xiao Mutou rushed into the coffee shop, he was startled. The black tea he was holding almost trembled violently from the surprise, and if he hadn't held it firmly, it would have spilled all over him.

Especially considering the other person's sweaty appearance, they must have come directly to us.

But Nagasaki Motoyo secretly contacted him privately, so she definitely wouldn't let the little wooden guy know about this.

So where did she find her from?

Could it be that she possesses the Stand HERMIT PURPLE "Hermit no Yukari" and used its power to smash a camera, thus finding Kazami Naru's location?

"...Xiao Xiang told me."

After hesitating for a moment, Wakaba Mutsumi, holding the ice cream, spoke up.

"Toyokawa?"

"Xiao Xiang called me and said he saw Ming and Su Shi together..."

After hearing this explanation, Kazami Mei finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that Teacher Da Xiang saw her and Su Shi together somewhere and had doubts, so she asked Xiao Mu, who knew both her and Su Shi, which was also her source of information.

Poor Miss Su Shi, little did she know that the target she was so desperately searching for was actually watching her from behind.

Why does it feel like I've been caught cheating by my wife?

"I didn't expect Xiaomu to be so worried about me, it's really touching~"
