How can my simulation be a real love?

Kazami Mei slowly got up and left, holding her phone.

Before leaving, he glanced at Nagasaki Motoyo with a comforting look. Seeing him leave, Ms. Motoyo, who had been barely able to remain calm, suddenly panicked, and her hands, hidden under the table, began to twitch together.

"call……"

Only after seeing Kazami Mei walk out of the store did Toyokawa Shoko raise her cold eyes to look at him again.

"Let me be clear with you, CRYCHIC is over."

"Whether it's the present or the future, it will always exist only in the past!"

Such cold and decisive words made Nagasaki Motoyo stare wide-eyed in disbelief. Toyokawa Shoko in front of her seemed to completely disregard past feelings and no longer care about everyone's memories.

This version of Xiangzi felt extremely unfamiliar to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"no!"

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was uneasy because of Kazami Mei's departure, lost her composure just because of a casual remark from Toyokawa Shoko.

She gripped the glass of ice water tightly in both hands, trying to calm her turbulent emotions with force. Water droplets on the outside of the glass slowly slid down the girl's fair fingertips.

Like a tear in a young girl's heart.

"Xiao Xiang, didn't you say that everyone who formed CRYCHIC together... is a community of shared destiny? Xiao Deng and Li Xi... Xiao Mu must think so too! Everyone cherishes those wonderful memories from the past..."

"CRYCHIC isn't over yet!"

"Hey... Shall we start over?"

How foolish!

Shoko Toyokawa, who was already furious at this attitude, could no longer control herself. Her originally cold and calm beautiful face became somewhat distorted at this moment, and a raging fire of anger surged to the top of her head.

Nagasaki Motoyo's words completely enraged Toyokawa Shoko, who couldn't help but retort angrily—

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"If you want me to come back, do you mean you want Ming to leave?"

Such a simple sentence completely shattered the gentle smile that Nagasaki Motoyo had been barely maintaining on her face.

"I've seen his dedication to the band, and he was even willing to be used to come and meet you! Don't you feel any guilt in front of him?! Nagasaki Motoyo, you're simply unreasonable!"

Toyokawa Shoko's unwavering rebuke instantly stunned Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I……"

She might have been able to come up with a reply in other situations, but now, facing 'Kazemi Naruto', she was speechless.

Her guilt and remorse towards Kazami Mei were genuine. She had repeatedly deceived and used him, and even the gentle-natured Wakaba Mutsu had treated her coldly because of this.

Nagasaki Motoyo was helpless, because she no longer knew how to turn back.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko was naturally furious.

In her eyes, Kazami Mei's actions were a complete waste of good intentions. Why should someone like Nagasaki Motoyo, who is so attached to the past and even willing to betray and exploit her friends, receive her help?

Toyokawa Shoko felt this was extremely unfair!

"Besides, do all the others really 'want me to come back'? I think you're the only one who thinks that way!"

Have you really considered how other people feel?

Toyokawa Shoko knew very well.

My decision to leave CRYCHIC on my own must have hurt Deng's feelings.

Takamatsu Akari has now completely said goodbye to her past and chosen to stride strongly toward the future. Similarly, Shiina Tatsuki is serious about wanting to rebuild the band. With Kazami Mei by her side, it's impossible for her to dwell on the past!

But what about Motoyo Nagasaki?

She didn't think about why CRYCHIC disbanded, nor did she ask herself why she wanted to leave CRYCHIC, or even try to understand why Wakaba Mutsu felt unhappy staying in CRYCHIC!

They simply ignore everything else and only care about their own immediate thoughts.

That's selfishness!

At this moment, when Toyokawa Shoko saw Nagasaki Motoyo, it was as if she were seeing her past self who was still clinging to the past. She felt hatred and rage, and at the same time, this rage reached its peak because of Kazami Mei.

"sorry Sorry……"

Nagasaki Motoyo's mind went completely blank after being scolded by Toyokawa Shoko. She didn't know how to speak and could only repeatedly apologize to Toyokawa Shoko in front of her.

But how could such a weak apology possibly work on Xiangzi, who was so angry?

"You really are someone who only thinks about yourself."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Nagasaki Motoyo's Confusion.

Toyokawa Shoko simply uttered those words coldly and stood up. In her eyes, Nagasaki Motoyo was just indulging in self-pity, making decisions for others without considering their feelings at all.

The most important thing is to use Kazami Meiya as a means to achieve the goal!

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing more for the two of them to say.

"Guests? Your meal is ready?"

The waitress with the golden braids then approached with a plate. Seeing Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stand up, she cautiously asked in her direction.

Despite the questioning, Toyokawa Shoko's beautiful face remained as cold as ice.

She simply nodded politely to the waiter, then turned and walked gracefully towards the exit, leaving only Nagasaki Motoyo, her eyes red and swollen, standing there blankly with a dazed look in her eyes.

In fact, Toyokawa Shoko still has some regrets now.

She was so easily provoked by Nagasaki Motoyo, and then impulsively let her emotions explode.

Overcome with emotion and unable to control her words, Toyokawa Shoko unceremoniously vented all the frustration and dissatisfaction she had accumulated over time onto Nagasaki Motoyo.

Before coming here, she repeatedly warned herself not to cause trouble for Kazami Naruto.

In the end, it still turned out like this.

There's nothing we can do now, so I can only apologize properly to Kazami Naruto later.

"How childish..."

Toyokawa Shoko gave a self-deprecating chuckle.

They had already made up their minds, but Nagasaki Motoyo's words caused this whole mess again.

Unable to stay any longer, she grabbed her bag and headed straight out of the shop. As soon as she stepped out of the ramen shop, she bumped right into Kazami Naru, who happened to be returning.

The moment she saw the other person, the girl's strong and stubborn heart softened instantly.

She gripped the leather strap of the handbag tightly, and her cold eyes immediately softened.

"Sorry, I messed up."

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath, slowly lowered her head, and began to apologize.

"I don't mean to blame you, Xiangzi. It's just that I was too naive."

Kazami Mei, standing at the door, looked a little tired, but she immediately smiled and comforted Xiao Xiang, who was feeling somewhat guilty.

Toyokawa Shoko's emotions have completely erupted, largely because she is standing up for herself. In addition, she agreed to come and meet with Ms. Suze. Anyone would feel moved and grateful in her situation.

Who can blame such an adorable little Xiang?

At least he can't.

Anyway, he has always followed the pure love route of Xiangzi.

"I apologize to you for asking you to come all this way to help me, Xiangzi, but things have turned out this way."

Kazami Mei sighed softly and directly expressed her apology to Toyokawa Shoko.

He was still a bit arrogant.

Kazami Mei thought that with him by her side, Shoko wouldn't say such harsh things.

In this way, there should still be some room for reconciliation between Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo as 'friends'. Who knew that it would end up like this, making Shoko, who had just finished get off work, even more exhausted.

"That's not true! I was planning to find some time to talk to her properly."

When Toyokawa Shoko saw Kazami Mei apologize to her, a look of surprise flashed across her cute face. She slowly and steadily reached out and grabbed the other person's sleeve, trying to be as gentle and comforting as possible.

"I messed up this dinner, and I was supposed to treat everyone, but given the current situation, I can't stay any longer."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, then gently raised her amber eyes.

"Ming, how about... I treat you next time?"

The girl blushed slightly as she brushed a strand of her beautiful, smooth blue hair behind her ear. She spoke softly, her voice clearly questioning. Her petite frame tilted her head slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible expectation lingered in her eyes.

"Of course~ You have to treat us next time, Xiangzi."

Kazami Mei, of course, couldn't possibly let the girl's kindness slip by, and accepted it without hesitation.

Upon receiving the reply, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips slightly, and a smile unique to a young girl slowly appeared on her already stunning face. It was as bright and warm as the sun, captivating all who beheld it.

The beautiful young girl was as pure as a cherry blossom swaying in the spring breeze, exuding elegance and delicacy, and her inner emotions began to leap with joy.

She is different from Nagasaki Motoyo.

That wicked woman, in order to fulfill her beautiful dream of being immersed in the past, did not hesitate to use her friend who was wholeheartedly helping her!

However, the relationship between Toyokawa Shoko and Kazami Mei was not so ordinary. Shoko met him like a wild wolf who was also wounded and in trouble. The two cherished and supported each other, like trusted companions who could lick each other's wounds.

This is a resonance of souls.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of a 'community of shared future'.

Wearing a dark blue lace-trimmed dress, Wakaba Mutsu stood not far away. Her emerald green sideburns were like a work of art. She stood there expressionless, her eyes fixed on Kazami Mei's direction.

She saw the undisguised smile on Toyokawa Shoko's face, her already calm expression appearing even more serene at that moment.

Clearly, she wasn't surprised at all by what was happening now.

"Then, I'll go back first."

Standing at the shop entrance, Toyokawa Shoko smiled slightly. She said a few words casually and then waved her hand at Kazami Mei.

Although I really wanted to chat a little longer, time was running out.

She had just finished get off work and needed to rush home to wash up and get ready for bed. Since she didn't have to attend classes during summer vacation, she chose to work overtime to increase her pay. She had to get up early the next morning to go to work, then go to the laundry to pick up her clothes, and then immediately rush to work as a customer service representative...

This busy and repetitive life has weighed down Toyokawa Shoko to the point where she can barely stand up straight.

But she is different now. With a plan in mind, her motivation for life is getting stronger and stronger!

It's not far off—

She will soon form her own professional band as quickly as possible, and then use her best skills to earn money that matches her self-esteem. Once she achieves success in her career, her financial pressure will definitely gradually decrease!

By then, perhaps she will be qualified to do what is rightfully hers...

Toyokawa Shoko gave the boy in front of her a deep look, a faint smile playing on her lips, before turning away without a second glance and walking off to the other side of the street.

Throughout the entire ordeal, she seemed not to have noticed Wakaba Mutsu standing not far away.

"..."

If Ye Mu's noble and elegant golden eyes were fixed on Toyokawa Shoko's gradually departing figure, after she lowered her head and pondered for a while, she walked to Kazami Mei's side with light and unhurried steps, and then reached out her small hand to gently tug at his sleeve.

Her somewhat silent demeanor inexplicably allowed Kazami to guess her thoughts.

Even though Xiao Mutou was really worried about the current situation, she still refused to go see Nagasaki Motoyo herself.

After all, in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, Wakaba Mutsumi is now on the 'cold and ruthless' side, someone that Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't trust.

"In that case, I will go and comfort Su Shi."

The girl nodded slightly, confirming Kazami Mei's guess.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruoye Mu turned around and walked slowly in the direction of Toyokawa Shoko.

Just as Kazami was still thinking about how Mutsu seemed a bit cold today, the doll-like beautiful girl seemed to sense his thoughts and suddenly turned around expressionlessly, jogging over with 'pat-pat' steps.

In a moment of distraction, the girl had already skillfully reached out and hugged Kazami Naruto's waist.

Only after burying her little head in his chest and gently nuzzling him did Ruoye Mu reluctantly release his arms from her embrace.
