How can my simulation be a real love?

"It's all my fault for liking the person my friend likes without my consent."

"But I really don't regret it."

The blonde girl, her eyes filled with self-reproach, looked up seriously at what was in front of her. Her deliberately long blonde hair shimmered with a transparent quality under the setting sun, like a carefully crafted, exquisite silk.

"Even if Xiaoxiang hates me... I won't regret it, because I really, really like Ming... to the point of being unable to extricate myself. For this, I am even willing to give up everything I have so far."

"Chuhua..."

Toyokawa Shoko no longer knew what to say and could only become the most 'ordinary' listener in front of her.

Why didn't she realize back then that Chu Hua's 'love' for Ming was no less than hers?

"No matter how much you blame me, Xiao Xiang... I don't want to leave Ming's side anymore, but I also don't want to hurt Xiao Xiang, because you are my best friend."

"Xiao Xiang, are you really... unwilling to accept other people?"

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth slightly, as a stream of thoughts gradually flooded her mind.

She suddenly recalled that before she met Kazami Mei, the first person she met, Wakaba Mutsu, had sincerely advised her. After that, Takamatsu Akari, who met her first, also grabbed her hand tightly. They all said similar things to Hatsuka now.

But at that time, Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't listen to anything.

She ignored the lamp, ignored Chu Hua, and even ignored Mu and the others' genuine feelings, just like herself in the 'dream', being selfish and self-centered without considering the feelings of others.

"Chu Hua, I...I have to go find Ming now!"

……

"Delicious! No wonder it was peeled by Brother Hailing himself."

While lying on the hospital bed, Mr. Kazami chewed heartily and couldn't help but raise his thumb. However, his left hand was tightly bound with bandages, and his raised thumb was strikingly similar to Doraemon's ball.

Sitting next to the hospital bed was, of course, the expressionless Yahata Kairin.

Since that incident yesterday, Ave Mujica, who was scheduled to train today, had to stop practicing without a reason. Hailing, who was not required to train and had to suspend his mercenary work, naturally had time to visit him in the hospital.

"To still have this kind of energy at a time like this, I think you haven't learned your lesson at all."

The cool girl in the black leather jacket frowned slightly. With her left hand, she quickly peeled and chopped the apple with a fruit knife, then made it into a delicate little rabbit shape. Her skillful movements made people doubt her professionalism.

Kazami Mei could only smile and did not refute the other party.

He simply enjoyed his girlfriend feeding him quietly, with only the faint sound of a fruit knife peeling fruit audible in the room.

"Toyokawa, what's her condition now?"

The girl suddenly spoke.

Hachiman Kairin paused slightly while peeling fruit. Perhaps it was due to the tacit understanding developed through long-term partnership, but Kazami Mei could see a hint of coldness on her otherwise emotionless face. Anyone who knew her would immediately realize that she was in a bad mood.

Kazami's expression stiffened slightly. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I sent her a message after I woke up yesterday, but it's still 'unread'. But I think she should be alright, right?"

"That's not what I asked."

The black-haired girl gently brushed aside her messy hair, the metallic earrings gleaming with a cold light. Her calm, dark green eyes and the girl's aloof expression intertwined, creating a chilling sharpness.

"They don't reply to messages and haven't come to the hospital to check on you."

"This makes it impossible for me to stay calm."

Kazami Mei naturally understood what Hachiman Kairin was feeling right now; in fact, it was more accurate to say that her current feelings were normal.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and suppressed Lixi yesterday, Lixi would probably have stormed Yuqiu today.

Kazami Mei naturally couldn't let Hachiman Kairin harbor resentment towards Toyokawa Shoko. He paused slightly to wait for her to finish speaking before explaining in a gentler tone, "Shoko's current state... is probably just because her mind is too confused, plus she doesn't know the address of my ward."

"After all, not everyone who has experienced something like that can quickly regain their composure and take action... Hailing, don't blame Xiangzi too much. It wasn't really her fault."

click!

The fruit knife suddenly plunged into the apple, startling Mr. Kazami, who was lying on the hospital bed, so much so that his mouth twitched.

"Don't you need to reflect on yourself? That kind of thing where you risk your life for others..."

The girl's sharp eyes pierced Feng Jianming's cheek, and her powerful intimidation made him feel the oppressive feeling of 'brother' for the first time in a long time. However, he had experienced the other party's cold face several times before, and his resistance was now extraordinary.

Kazami Mei let out a long sigh, her deep black eyes fixed on the distance ahead—

“If it had been you, Hailing, who was there at the time, I would definitely have made the same choice.”

The air froze for a few seconds.

With a blank expression, Hachiman Kairin pulled the fruit knife out of the apple, then cut off another plump piece of apple and fed it to him. Before Kazami Mei could even praise her, she lowered her head in his direction.

Scalding hot.

The kiss lasted a long time.

After a long while, Hachiman Kairin slowly straightened her back. Her originally cold face now had a touch of gentleness, and her emerald eyes, which were as still as water, were rippling. A hint of helplessness was faintly revealed between her brows.

“I don’t care about that. You have to consider other people’s feelings before you do something like this.”

Despite uttering such harsh and unforgiving words, Hachiman's powerful hands, which were playing the bass, had already quietly reached out, groping along his loose sleeves to the cuffs, and finally clasped together tightly like magnets.

Kazami Mei merely raised an eyebrow at this, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes.

"Did I mention before that you've actually become cuter since you started dating, Miss Hailing?"

"..."

Hachiman Kairin stared at them expressionlessly, a hint of coldness creeping into her dark green eyes.

"I'll come see you alone after you're discharged from the hospital."

"...Excuse me for asking, are you looking for me to support other bands?"

I have a bad feeling.

Kazami Mei could vaguely sense that the other person's gaze had become somewhat ominous. A faint smile gradually appeared on the face of the cold and aloof beauty. She glanced at them with a meaningful look, and then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Well, you'll see when the time comes."

"And one more thing, this time... you have no reason to run away."

Chapter 115 Toyokawa Shoko's composure.

Meanwhile, Toyokawa Shoko—

After saying goodbye to Misaka Chuka, she quickly packed up the shop and headed towards the hospital address written on the piece of paper. Strands of her azure hair swayed behind her ears with each step, and her heavy body gradually gained a bit of vitality.

apologize.

You have to apologize to him no matter what.

Toyokawa Shoko felt she had to pour out all her apologies and feelings to him, regardless of how Naruto would respond. She knew this was something she had to do.

Otherwise, she herself would not be able to forgive herself!

Despite the exhaustion from not sleeping all night, the 'flame' deep within the girl's heart burned ever brighter. She was only supporting herself with her willpower at this moment, and the emotions that resonated with her heart were propelling her forward.

"Huh, huh..."

The sound of her footsteps and her rapid breathing intertwined into a fierce wind. Toyokawa Shoko seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat quickening. Her trembling eyelids and slightly shaking fingertips seemed to be worried that if she was too slow, she would be unable to make up for it.

By the time Toyokawa Shoko arrived at the Tokyo branch hospital, the sun had already disappeared into the distant horizon. The gradually dimming sky and the streetlights that lit up the streets seemed to form a long 'sky bridge,' guiding her to take steps in the right direction.

With each step she took forward, her fear and timidity diminished a little.

It was only then that Toyokawa Shoko gradually realized how much she longed to see him again.

"Ah! Isn't this Xiangzi?"

The flippant and slightly mocking words reached her ears, causing the girl, who was about to reach the hospital entrance, to subconsciously stop in her tracks. She turned her head to look straight ahead, her amber eyes, which held a hint of gold, narrowing slightly.

But at this very moment, she ran into someone she really didn't want to see.

"What a coincidence! Why did we run into each other here?"

The girl standing in front greeted her in a cheerful tone.

Her short, light purple hair, resembling a rose, was quite striking under the cool white lighting. Even those unfamiliar with her personality could tell her interest from her long, trembling eyelashes.

Yutenji Wakamachi is, in some situations, quite a difficult person.

If they were to bump into each other on the street, Toyokawa Shoko might greet her politely or give her some instructions about the band's work. But now, she simply doesn't have the energy to pay attention to her.

"Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to right now."

Shoko Toyokawa gripped the bag strap so tightly her fingertips turned white, her heart filled with anxiety, and all she wanted now was to get to his side as quickly as possible.

However, her unusual behavior aroused the suspicion of Yutenji Wakana, so she couldn't help but come closer.

"Meow meow? Are you here to visit Naruko too?"

"also?"

Toyokawa Shoko accurately captured this 'keyword'. She slightly furrowed her brows and stared at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze. It was precisely because of this special reaction that Yutenji Wakana's face flashed with a hint of understanding.

Aha! MeowDream's guess was absolutely accurate!

"Yutenji, have you... already visited him?"

"Meow! Dream! Kiss!"

With a hint of dissatisfaction in her heart, Teacher Da Miao puffed out her cheeks. Even though it was a deliberately feigned cute expression, it was unexpectedly adorable. She held up her fingers and kept gesturing in front of her, trying to correct Toyokawa Shoko's way of addressing her.

But right now, Toyokawa Shoko had no time to play around with her; she was more interested in knowing the extent of Kazami Mei's injuries.

"Please tell me quickly, how is Ming now?"

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko was filled with anxiety. Originally, she only wanted to avoid the other party and get into the hospital as soon as possible, but she stopped and instead moved closer and closer to Yutenji Wakana, which startled Nyanmu-sensei and made her take two steps back.

"Huh? This... this one?"

Yutenji Wakana's eyes darted around, and for a moment she didn't know how to start the conversation.

The truth is, even Miaomeng doesn't know!

The reason she made a special trip to visit Kazami Naruto today was partly because she was worried about her data plan, and partly because AveMujica's inexplicable suspension of practice made her inexplicably curious about the specific reason.

Ultimately, Ave Mujica's training 'must' require five people to perform on stage. Even if Mr. Kazami, the manager in charge of management and operations, is not present, there should be no reason for suddenly stopping practice.

Judging from Toyokawa Shoko's attitude, it seems that Kazami Mei's injury this time is quite serious?

"...Never mind, I'll go find him myself."

Seeing that Yutenji Wakana had been playing coy for so long, Toyokawa Shoko's already limited patience was almost gone. She sighed and shook her head, then prepared to walk past him towards the inpatient department.

Before Yutenji Wakana could even call out to her, Toyokawa Shoko, who had already passed by her, stopped on her own.

With some doubt in her heart, Yutenji Wakame looked in her direction and saw that Toyokawa Shoko, who had been anxious, was standing frozen in place. Her beautiful face was now sickly white, and her trembling pupils seemed to have seen something terrifying.

It was as if she saw a raging flood blocking her path, making her afraid to take even one step forward.

"Meow, meow?"

What happened? What happened?

In Yutenji Wakame's eyes, Toyokawa Shoko, who called herself Oblivionis, must be the most awkward person in the band. It was as if nothing could affect her dignified and elegant demeanor, and her cold and self-important face made people angry just by looking at her.

But now, why is that 'Toyokawa Shoko' showing such a fearful expression?

What exactly did she see?

"..."

Frozen in place, Toyokawa Shoko timidly lowered her head, slowly retracting the step she was about to take. Standing opposite her were several girls dressed in JK uniforms, each carrying a musical instrument bag on their shoulder.

Yamada Ryo, his face icy cold, stood beside Ijichi Nijika, his rose-like beauty concealing a face riddled with thorns. His emotionless, cold golden eyes seemed to pierce through the constraints of space, cruelly striking her heart.

Standing next to her, Itoji Nijika's expression also seemed a bit stiff, and the smile that was originally on her face became somewhat flustered. Goto Ichiri, who was also full of timidity, was held by the wrist by Kita Ikuyo and placed in the second position, her face full of helplessness.

The band, who had just come out of the hospital to visit Kazami Mei, bumped right into Toyokawa Shoko, who was on her way to visit her at the hospital. The timing of their meeting was unfortunate, even terrible.

"Oh no, this is bad."

The quickest to react was naturally Ms. Nijika, the team leader. She subconsciously looked at her friend beside her. Yamada Ryo, who had just been smiling, had instantly changed his attitude and was now staring coldly ahead.

As a friend of many years, she understood all too well how Liang was feeling.

Ryo Yamada and Nijika Ichi were at the scene of the accident. They witnessed firsthand how Shoko Toyokawa shook off Mei Kazami's hand and then stubbornly ran towards the road. The moment the car accident happened had a great impact on both of them.

Even now, when she recalls what happened back then, her heart still clenches suddenly.
