"...This is completely unreliable."

Nagasaki Motoyo muttered a little dissatisfaction. She hadn't shown any flaws on the surface, but her husband had seen through her immediately. Did he actually have some kind of mind-reading superpower?

If that's really the case, wouldn't that be a bit too unfair?

Kazami Mei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and spoke in a soft tone—

"Is it because we just had a 'fight' and then made up that Su Shi is worried that her behavior might offend me, and as a result, she can't find a suitable way to get along with me?"

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly stopped and glared at them with her beautiful blue eyes.

If you know something like this, don't say it out loud!

Indeed, just as Kazami Mei said, Ms. Suze is now having some concerns. Of course, she understands that Kazami Mei definitely loves her, but she is afraid that the gentle Mei will doubt her 'lying' again.

After all, she did have a precedent to learn from.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

It's a pity that Kazami Mei doesn't usually wear black-rimmed glasses, otherwise she would definitely take them off and strike a boss pose right now.

Kazami Mei, like a father helpless against his willful daughter, simply opened his arms to Suze, a gesture so powerful it made Suze blush slightly. She naturally understood what the gesture meant.

"Why, why did you do this?!"

"Isn't it because I was afraid you wouldn't dare, Su Shi?" Feng Jianming rolled his eyes, then, seeing Su Shi standing there dumbfounded, said helplessly, "Since Su Shi doesn't seem to like it, then actually..."

"do not want!"

Nagasaki Motoyo gripped the expensive designer handbag tightly with her fingertips. The blush that had spread to the tips of her ears was particularly striking under the streetlights. After hesitating for two seconds, she slowly stepped forward and snuggled into Kazami Mei's arms.

The moment the girl embraced him, her light brown hair, which had been lifted up, gently brushed against his nose, carrying a faint sweet scent reminiscent of cornflower shampoo, which blended perfectly with the soft aroma of the fragrance. His soft and full body was filled with a warmth like that of a fireplace.

"How are you feeling?"

"It was just a normal hug, nothing more... even though we've kissed."

Nagasaki Motoyo remained defiant, muttering to herself, while a strange look appeared on Yoshikazumi Mei's face.

Your mouth, as sharp as a diamond, is indeed like that, but why are you holding on so tightly?!

In addition, his chest hurt from the pounding of his heart.

Kazami Mei didn't expose Suze's stubbornness. He simply reached out and gently patted her back, feeling the girl tremble slightly in his arms. His words gradually softened.

"Well, this is how we get along."

"Don't always hold yourself back, and don't worry about whether you will displease me. After all, didn't I say before that no matter what happens... I will never hate you, Su Shi?"

cunning.

Nagasaki Motoyo thought she was cunning enough, a girl with deep schemes who would stop at nothing for love, but she never expected that her husband would be even more 'cunning'.

In his eyes, the word 'scheming' seemed to have no meaning at all. He simply believed in himself without reservation or doubt, and loved himself purely and from the bottom of his heart.

A single casual remark could easily shake her heart.

Isn't that 'cunning' enough?

"To be honest, I don't really care about 'lying'. On the contrary, I think this version of Su Shi is very cute. The Su Shi who liked to be possessive in the past was cute, and the Su Shi who is willing to reveal her true feelings now is also cute."

"Therefore, Su Shi also has his own way of getting along with others."

Always more mature than anyone else, Miss Su Shi gently raised her eyebrows, and somewhat childishly snuggled her cheek into Kazami Naruto's arms. She remained silent for a long time before suddenly raising her head.

makes sense.

She must have known this from the very beginning, right? When she's with Kazami Mei, she doesn't need to 'pretend' and can show her true self without any worries. Looking at it this way, she seems like a complete idiot.

"Ming, you haven't forgotten that matter, have you?"

The girl's gentle words carried a hint of expectation, but her sudden question startled Kazami Naruto. He raised his eyebrows as if pondering, but it was only for two seconds that he hesitated that Su Shi smiled.

"Oh? Could it be... that Mr. Kazami has accidentally forgotten?"

Her sweet voice, tinged with a sharp edge, was like honey mixed with white sugar—sweet yet unsettling, and the gentle stroking of his abdomen felt like a threat.

Is this how you treat people?!

"Haha~ How could I possibly forget my date with Su Shi?"

"That's right~"

The moment before, Su Shi's eyes had been filled with a hint of coolness, but now she was all smiles. She tiptoed and kissed Feng Jianming on the corner of his mouth, savoring the faint floral fragrance. Her long, narrow eyes slowly narrowed.

"Hey~ how did you feel when Ming went on your last date with Xiaoxiang?"

"Feeling pretty good?"

Kazami Mei couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Nagasaki Motoyo sighed softly, stroking her cheek with one hand and murmured, "She must be completely captivated by Sho, right? After all, that person is Sho..."

Aren't you a little too confident in the Toyokawa family's foolish heiress?

"Actually, Ming wanted to take Xiao Xiang home more tonight, right? After all, Xiao Xiang is cuter than me no matter how you look at it, plus she also has..."

Before the girl could finish her slightly sour words, Mr. Kazami gently chopped her forehead with a chop, and then unceremoniously snatched her lips, instantly giving him the absolute initiative after he had been in a passive position.

"My feelings for you, Su Shi, are no less than my feelings for Xiangzi."

"……I see."

Nagasaki Motoyo almost instantly collapsed into his arms. Her usual confident smile had vanished, and now she was just a little girl in love, whose inner defenses could be easily broken down.

Perhaps to distract herself from her shyness, Nagasaki Motoyo, her fingers intertwined, took a deep breath and looked up, saying, "We talked about Mutsu at the coffee shop earlier. I hope Naruto won't reveal too much to Mutsu."

"This farewell performance for 'CRYCHIC' also has a profound meaning for me... I still have a lot to say to Xiaomu face to face, so I hope..."

"give it to me."

Kazami Mei simply chuckled and blinked, a small gesture that silenced the words that Su Shi hadn't yet uttered. A gentle smile gradually appeared on her face, and her beautiful face, which always seemed so pitiful, blushed.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at her doorstep.

"Well then, that's all for today."

Nagasaki Motoyo reluctantly released his hand, then slowly stepped back with her hands behind her back. Just as Kazami Mei was about to say goodbye with a smile, the girl who had just stepped back suddenly stepped forward again.

She stood on tiptoe.

This was a more intense fusion than ever before; it was as if her heart was burning with the flames of emotion, relentlessly demanding and plundering every wisp of 'breath,' as if warming the air of the entire world.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

The shy vegetarian girl slowly lowered her head and gently licked away the moisture from the corner of her mouth. This was completely different from when she had launched her offensive in front of Miss Aine. She was simply expressing her love in a selfless way.

"...Actually, I already have some ideas about my 'date'~ I don't plan to go on a date with Ming like Xiangzi, but I hope that Ming can come to my house as a guest that day."

"Because my mom had to work overtime that day, she wouldn't be home all day."

Come, come home?

Now, Kazami Mei could easily guess that it was a 'trap', and not even the kind of 800 axemen who secretly hid after the band ended, but a banquet hosted by Nagasaki Motoyo himself.

"receive."

Kazami Mei gently raised her head and made the sounds of a cow or a horse.

If they hadn't established a relationship before, or if they weren't ready, Kazami Naruto might have hesitated to go to her house. But now that they've been completely honest with each other, he naturally wouldn't hesitate for even a second.

If you don't enter the prime acupoint, how can you get prime seeds? ?

"A mere mortal—"

It's decided, I'll use this line then.

……

The next day.

Moon Forest, Horticulture Club.

The vegetable garden was filled with the dampness rising from the soil. The cucumber leaves, entwined by vines, stretched out in the light and shadow, and the dewdrops on the leaves refracted iridescent light, making the girl's expressionless face appear to light up and darken.

"..."

If Ye Mu was just squatting by the bluestone vegetable patch in the horticulture department, Yue Zhisen's school uniform skirt almost got rubbed into the damp cucumber leaves, and the mud stains on her wrists turned into amber spots in the sunlight.

She seemed to be tending to the flowers and plants as diligently as ever, but her fingertips unconsciously caressed the back of the leaves until dew soaked her gloves along the veins of the leaves. Only then did the girl suddenly raise her pale golden eyes.

Distracted.

Last night, at home, Wakaba Mutsu suddenly learned from Kazami Mei that Suze, whom she hadn't spoken to much for a while, had suddenly contacted her, seemingly intending to talk to her alone about 'CRYCHIC'.

As a result, Little Wooden Head couldn't sleep.

Last night, Momoko couldn't fall asleep in her own bed. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what Nagasaki Motoyo had to talk to her about 'CRYCHIC' in private.

Finally, she could only crawl into Ming's bed and fall into a deep sleep in his arms.

"Xiao Mu."

The gentle yet familiar call shattered the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. Wakaba Mutsumi, who had been squatting there blankly, trembled and almost dropped the elephant-shaped watering can she was using to water the plants.

Then, Nagasaki Motoyo, also wearing the Tsukimori school uniform, appeared behind her. Her light brown, slightly wavy long hair was gilded with a honey color in the sunlight, and her face, which always smiled in front of her, now had a more serious expression.

"……vegetarian diet."

Ruoye Mu murmured unconsciously, pursing her thin cherry lips and scrutinizing Nagasaki Suze's entire body with her pale golden eyes, but she couldn't discern anything about her appearance.

Nagasaki Motoyo simply sighed softly, then quickened her pace toward Wakaba Mutsu, before taking out a pure white handkerchief with lace trim from her pocket and gently wiping the girl's doll-like face.

"—My face is covered in dirt."

“Now that you’re a well-known guitarist at Ave Mujica, you need to pay more attention to your image.”

The gentle gesture left Wakaba Mutsu somewhat bewildered, as she recalled the scene of their last 'private' conversation.

They clashed over Kazami Mei's differing stances, and in the end, she inadvertently forced Suze to flee in disarray.

Although Momo later apologized to Kazami Naru in front of her, and the two confessed all their lies and feelings, the relationship between Wakaba Mutsu and Nagasaki Momo became somewhat complicated as a result.

"sorry."

Ruoye Mu apologized softly.

These words made Nagasaki Motoyo, who was holding a handkerchief, pause slightly. She bit her lip and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She had obviously realized that Wakaba Mutsu's 'apology' did not simply refer to what had just happened. That was why she could no longer maintain her calm expression.

"I should be the one saying that."

Chapter 159 The Person Who Should Say Sorry [5k]

In her opinion, the person who should apologize is not Xiao Mu.

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, seeing Wakaba Mutsu's blank expression, she held back. She bit her gradually turning pale lips tightly, and her beautiful blue eyes flickered with strong emotional fluctuations.

The air beside the vegetable garden gradually fell silent, but it didn't remain silent until the very last moment.

Standing still, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly raised her head. Her slightly trembling eyelashes seemed to indicate the complexity of her feelings, but her gradually hardening eyes represented her determination and the heart that was gradually opening up to her.

"The one who should apologize... is me."

"Su Shi?"

If Ye Mu never expected to hear Nagasaki Motoyo's apology, a hint of panic flashed in her normally calm eyes, and she almost lost her grip on the muddy shovel and kettle, nearly dropping them.

She imagined many possibilities last night, but the result was completely unexpected.

"I've told far too many lies in the past, and I don't know how to apologize to you, Xiao Mu. But I understand—from now on... I will never lie to you again, Xiao Mu."

"You've always been thinking of me, but I've let you down."

"I'm really... sorry!"

The girl's slow, bowed apology made Ruoye Mutsu open her mouth, but she was flustered and didn't know how to respond because she was clumsy with words. But at this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and the meaningful smile of a certain black-haired boy appeared in her mind.

Standing there blankly, Wakaba Mutsu suddenly put down her shovel and watering can, then quickly squatted down towards the vegetable garden, completely ignoring the damp mud that had just been sprinkled on the hem of her school uniform skirt, and carefully examined something in the vegetable garden.

"Xiao Mu?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was somewhat taken aback by the other party's sudden action.

Before Nagasaki Motoyo could even ask, Wakaba Mutsumi, who had just squatted down, quickly stood up. In her hand, she held a cucumber covered in dew, which gleamed brightly in the sunlight of the horticulture greenhouse.

"...This is for Su Shi."
