They all have special skills

"But...!" Nagasaki Suyo's eyes widened as she tried to say something, but Toyokawa Shoko interrupted her directly: "The band you've formed now isn't very good. We're all having fun playing on stage together, and I also have my reasons for not being able to go back. I hope you can understand."

Her expression became much more serious, hoping that Su Shi could calm down, or at least stop rushing up to hug her. It might have been okay before, but now... it's better to be careful.

"I understand, Xiangzi, that you must have your own difficulties. If you have any troubles, you can tell me and everyone directly. We will all find a way to help you!" Nagasaki Suyo's tone became urgent again.

Help yourself?

How can I help?

It's true that everyone in CRYCHIC was a good person, but he knew his own problems were beyond the reach of a few high school students. Speaking up would only cause more people to worry for no reason. It might even make them feel pity for him.

And this is exactly what Shoko Toyokawa least wants to see.

Her eyes grew colder as she slowly broke free from Nagasaki Sushi's tightly grasped hand. She also understood that a pleasant and pleasant response would only make her think things could turn around. She shook her head and said, "Let the past be the past."

"Xiangzi..."

"I'm still with my little girl. She's very shy, so I won't talk to you anymore. See you later."

Holding the hand of love, before leaving, Toyokawa Shoko looked at the distraught Nagasaki Suyo sitting there, her eyes could not bear it, and she left a message: "Suyo, cherish the person in front of you."

When Shoko Toyokawa said this, her original intention was good.

However, when Qingshui Ai heard it, she didn't feel nervous at all and almost laughed out loud.

Although I feel a little sorry for Aunt Su Shi.

But in this situation right now, it feels like the goddess is comforting the madman but can't get rid of the dog.

"Suyo...you mean, you just ran into Shoko at the amusement park over in Maihama...and you already talked to her, right?"

I heard the affirmative response from the other end of the phone with a lost tone.

Wakaba Mu stood behind a tree on the street and secretly glanced towards the Wagunaria Restaurant.

She was holding the phone and had lost interest in what Su Shi said next. After responding a few times, she hung up the phone.

Su Shi... there was no reason for her to lie to me about something like this, and coupled with the slight discomfort I just felt...

Ruoye Mu no longer hesitated. This time, he walked directly into the store and came in front of Qingshui Qian: "You are not Xiangzi, who are you?"

Volume 1: Chapter 114 His Other Side

The sudden return of Wakaba Mutsuki to the store startled Qingshui Akane. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior, nor did she know what the other party's basis for suspicion was. So she tried to play it off, showing a puzzled expression, tilting her head and uttering a nasal "Hmm?"

There were not many customers in the restaurant in the afternoon, so Qingshuichuan, who was very free, naturally noticed the situation here and walked over nervously. It can only be said that the situation he had just worried about still happened.

He came over and stood beside the two girls. He first asked his youngest daughter, "Xiangzi, what happened?"

If Ye Mu spoke first at this moment, he was quite sure: "She is not Xiangzi."

This sentence made Shimizu Akane and Shimizu Kawa look at each other, both feeling a little helpless.

The change in their gaze also made Ruoye Mu vaguely aware of something.

"You... seem to know this." She said this while staring at Qingshuichuan.

Although she usually has a blank expression and looks cute and silly most of the time, it doesn't mean that she is stupid. Her ability to read people's expressions is not outstanding, but it is still there.

"So I told you, I have no idea what you are talking about..." Akane Shimizu seemed to want to continue pretending, but Shimizu Kawa reached out to stop her.

He sighed, said to Wakaba Muqing, "Wait a moment," and turned his back to her and winked at his little daughter.

The little daughter was a little confused at first, but after seeing her father tilt his head and gesture towards the empty table in the restaurant, she understood and decided to let Ruoye Mu sit down at the table for the time being while she calmed her down.

And Shimizukawa took advantage of this opportunity and ran to the back to call Toyokawa Shoko. Judging from the background sound of her laughter, she seemed to be having a lot of fun playing in the amusement park with Ai, but that was the end of it.

After Qingshuichuan explained to Xiangzi how her identity had been exposed, she fell into a long silence, then let out a faint sigh: "You shouldn't have allowed Akane to meet Mu alone. We grew up together and she knows me very well. Even though I look a lot like Akane, there's no way she wouldn't notice something amiss."

"Sorry..." Qingshuichuan had no way to refute and agreed obediently. Although the truth of the matter was that his little daughter acted on her own without his knowledge, it always felt like he was shirking responsibility by saying this. His own personality would not allow him to do such a thing.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. It's Mu after all. I'll handle it."

"I'm so sorry...what are you going to do."

"I haven't decided yet, but the most urgent thing is to get her to leave your place. After all, based on my understanding of her, she seems to be particularly concerned about my affairs. If I don't clarify this matter, she will probably wait in the store forever."

"That's how it sounds... it feels like the relationship between you two is a little... beyond the ordinary."

"Don't have that weird idea. Mu and I are very good friends, that's all."

"I didn't say I had any weird thoughts..."

"Your tone gives it away!"

"Hey, Xiangzi knows me so well now. He knows what I'm thinking just by the tone of my voice."

"...Stop it! Give the phone to Mu, I'll talk to her myself!"

Back to the topic, Qingshuichuan also became serious. He took the mobile phone and went back to the front hall, handed it to Wakaba Mu and signaled her to answer the call.

Wakaba Mu glanced at Akane Shimizu who was sitting next to his desk, slowly took the phone and put it to his ear.

She didn't turn on the speaker, so the father and daughter couldn't hear what Toyokawa Shoko said to her, but what Ruoye Mu said fell clearly into their ears.

"Where did we go on vacation together as kids?"

"..."

"What do you do with the cicada you caught?"

"..."

"What did you say to me when you had your first period?"

"..."

Qing Shuichuan on the side became more excited. He was also quite interested in the last topic.

I feel like I can take the initiative and use my first time there as a topic, so we can discuss the past, deepen our understanding of each other, and strengthen our relationship.

"Great, it's really you, Xiangzi..." Toyokawa Xiangzi's answer should be completely correct, which made Wakaba Mu's expression quickly ease: "...You are still alive."

The girl in front of him seemed to inadvertently reveal the horrible fact that she had just imagined.

You think we are murderers, right?

This way of thinking is so beyond common sense!

"Hmm...hmm...I understand..." After that, it was unknown what Toyokawa Shoko said, but Wakaba Mu kept nodding in agreement.

Finally, she returned the phone to Qingshuichuan, and the call was hung up.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore." When Ye Mu just came... he seemed quite aggressive, but at this moment that demeanor had completely disappeared, and he returned to that calm and indifferent look, harmless to people and animals.

Qingshuichuan asked concernedly: "What did she tell you?"

Ruoye Mu stared at his face seriously for a while, then shook her head, as if she didn't want to reveal anything. Then she lowered her head slightly, turned around and left.

"..." Qingshuichuan followed her departing figure and looked at his little daughter: "Will this person be like this in the future?"

Akane Shimizu didn't answer him directly, but asked with interest, "Dad is interested in her?"

Qingshuichuan chuckled and rubbed Qingshui Akane's head: "Come and help me clean the dishes."

Since she is Xiangzi's friend, Xiangzi also agreed to let her handle the matter, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

----

When Shoko Toyokawa brought Ai Shimizu back to the gate of Shimizu River Apartment, she saw Mutsu Wakaba standing under the shade of a tree on the roadside.

She hurried over: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ruo Ye Mu looked at her and shook his head, then lowered his eyes and saw the familiar little loli beside her.

Qingshui Ai curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at her, and Ruoye Mu also forced himself to smile in response.

"I told you to find a nearby cafe and wait for me... Never mind, just follow me."

Toyokawa Shoko led the way, holding her eldest daughter's hand, and Wakaba Mutsu followed behind, entering the single apartment in Shimizu River.

In fact, if she had a choice, Shoko Toyokawa would still like to meet this good friend outside and not make things so troublesome.

But Ai was very tired after playing in the amusement park for so long and needed to rest. She herself felt the same way. Even sitting down could not relieve her fatigue. She felt that she had to find a quiet place to lie down or lean on.

A single room in an Internet cafe or comic book hall is a good choice, but that costs extra money. In the past, Shoko Toyokawa might not have cared about this small expense, but now... it's better to save as much as possible, so coming back is the best choice.

As for why the meeting place was not chosen to be the small apartment where he lived now, there were only two reasons: the house was too shabby, and his father might also be at home, so it was not a place where he could have a good conversation.

Therefore, the apartment in Qingshui River is the only optimal solution at the moment.

Although it is not big, it is clean and tidy.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a faint smell in the house that sounded like a mix of chestnut blossoms and heather. However, after I opened the window to ventilate the room before leaving, it completely dissipated.

"I can do it myself!" After returning home, Shimizu Ai also washed her hands and rinsed her mouth obediently, then changed into home clothes and went to bed. After a while, she began to breathe evenly.

The time now is exactly four o'clock in the afternoon. It is a bit strange to go to bed at this time, but there is nothing you can do if the child is tired from playing outside.

Shoko Toyokawa half-pulled the curtains, thought for a moment, and took out two cups of hot water before sitting down on the tatami next to Wakaba Mutsu.

"Are you shocked?" Shoko Toyokawa handed a glass of water to her friend and took the initiative to continue what she had just said on the phone.

Ruoye Mu took it and nodded slowly. She tilted her head to look at the clothesline on the balcony outside, her eyes fixed on the women's underwear hanging there. The main color was white with pink embellishments, which was definitely the kind that Xiangzi liked.

"Well, I didn't expect that you, Xiangzi, would actually live with him directly."

"puff……"

Toyokawa Shoko's elegant drinking gesture of stroking the cup with her left hand and supporting the bottom with her right hand almost completely collapsed. She tried hard to purse her lips so as not to look out of place.

"I'm not talking about that!"

Xiangzi...didn't deny the cohabitation...

"Sorry..." Ruoye Mu lowered his head and apologized weakly.

Seeing her like this, Toyokawa Shoko coughed dryly again and adjusted her mindset: "Since you just saw what happened in the store where I work, you must have a lot of doubts now."

Ruoye Mu nodded. She stroked the cup in her hand with her fingertips, thinking of the person who looked almost exactly like Xiangzi. She asked in a low voice, "I want to know what's going on. Xiangzi, you... shouldn't have a twin sister."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed: "The situation is much more complicated than you think. What would you think if I said she was my relative?"

"..." Ruoye Mu fell into a long silence, and then he opened his mouth and almost made Toyokawa Xiangzi lose control again: "Uncle...had an affair many years ago?"

"..."

call……

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath and said, "It has nothing to do with Dad. It's too troublesome to explain in detail. You just need to know that the person you saw who looked very similar to me is not a bad person. It's because I was not feeling well today that she went to work in my place."

Although she didn't get an accurate answer, Ruo Yemu was not annoyed. It was indeed enough for her to know this.

But there was one thing that concerned her: "Xiangzi, are you...dating that boy now?"

Based on what we have observed so far, this seems to be nonsense. After all, whether it is Xiangzi's attitude towards the boy or the fact that she can enter and leave the boy's house freely, it shows that the relationship between them is unusual.

But Wakaba Mu still wanted to get confirmation from Toyokawa Shoko.

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" It seemed that Toyokawa Shoko had expected her friend to ask this question, and her expression did not show the huge emotion as before.

"Because... I hope Xiangzi can meet someone who cherishes you and can protect you..." Ruo Ye Mu's expression was calm when she said this, and no one knew what she was thinking, but just these words were enough to warm people's hearts.

Take care of yourself and protect yourself...

The face of Shimizu River appeared in her mind, and a ripple appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

Although it's not much at the moment, and he was a little bit inappropriate earlier today...but judging from the future revealed by his daughter, he did do it.

Shoko Toyokawa was a little shy and didn't know how to respond to her friend.

Ruoye Mu was very surprised. It was the first time she saw her friend show such a shy yet joyful expression.

Not to mention, at this moment Xiangzi has severed ties with his family and everything in his life seems very difficult.

Does the so-called romantic relationship between men and women really have such a miraculous effect?

I always feel like... she is even happier than when she first formed CRYCHIC carefreely.
