The man from Wugeng's family is indeed reliable

"Will you come with me?"

"Of course, even if it means committing suicide for love, I will be the first one to accompany you."

"Let's forget about this kind of thing. I still hope I can live longer."

"Ah, Hiroshi is surprisingly timid in this regard."

"It's not that I'm timid, it's just that I still have many responsibilities and obligations that I haven't fulfilled."

He wants his parents to enjoy their old age in peace, he wants to hold his sisters' hands and send them to the palace of marriage personally, and he wants his friends around him to live happily. The beautiful world he hopes for is to realize the happiness of others to the best of his ability.

Then, a warmth never before felt in my memory returned. The wind carried Shiyu's unique scent. Hiroshi grasped that glittering hand, the cool touch he'd felt in his dreams. Yes, the same touch he'd unconsciously felt that night, this time etched deeply into his memory.

Although it is a bit inhumane, fortunately the company's work system is a flexible working time of seven hours a day. He completed part of the work in the morning and could not continue in the afternoon due to this sudden incident. But he still has to make up for it later. Haoshu does not want to leave such a bad record of absenteeism on his first day at work. He will definitely be labeled as unruly by his predecessors in future work.

So in order to hurry, Hiroshi and Shiyu took a taxi and headed straight to the place where they broke up yesterday.

Transferring schools? Are you running away? Are you giving up all of a sudden? How could I possibly let you get away at this point? Thinking this, Hiroshi made up his mind.

More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped steadily in front of the quaint commercial street. Haoshu pulled Shiyu to follow the footsteps he remembered, and stood in front of a house with a determined look.

The sign in front of the door had the classic word "KATO" written on it. Hiroshi noticed this yesterday. He didn't expect to visit here so soon. For a moment, Hiroshi felt a little emotional.

Shiyu, who was standing by, did not have the same strange feelings and psychological fluctuations as Haoshu, so she just rang the doorbell.

Jingle Bell

One, two, three times.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes.

"Are you here to see the Kato family?" A helpful old lady approached them after seeing their movements. "They've already moved. I'm afraid you're too late."

"Huh? Moving?" Hiroshi blinked in confusion, "But I saw someone at their house yesterday afternoon."

That’s right, I met Xiaohui in the afternoon.

"Ah, they left overnight. They were in a hurry. Mr. Kato specially hired people from a moving company to help in the middle of the night. I heard it was very expensive."

The old lady smacked her lips, as if lamenting the price.

"What happened that's so urgent? Even wanting to leave overnight?"

Shiyu on the side frowned and glanced at Haoshu who was also confused, realizing that things seemed not so simple.

"I'm not entirely sure about that. I just know it seems to be because of that child, Xiaohui. Tsk tsk. Mr. Kato, who's usually good-tempered, rarely gets so angry. I don't know what happened, but last night, Mr. Kato was furious and kept repeating things like how Xiaohui was stubborn and how his daughter had grown too independent. Life is getting more and more restless these days."

"Is it related to Xiaohui?"

Haoshu and Shiyu looked at each other and pondered.

"Excuse me, do you know where they moved to? Do you have their contact information?"

"I have no idea about that. I'm an old woman, how could I know where they're going and what they're doing? As for contact information, they seem to be very secretive and have changed all their phone numbers, so I'm not sure. Judging from your age, you should be Xiaohui's friends. They just moved out and the house isn't locked. Maybe you can find some clues if you go in. It's almost time for me to go home. Goodbye, little ones."

"Thank you, Grandma. Thanks for the trouble."

"It's no trouble, no trouble, then let's do it this way."

After bowing and expressing their gratitude, the two men looked at each other again, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.

The truth in the house may be revealed soon.

Chapter 170 The truth that Hiroki Gogen never knew

Holding the door handle tightly, he pulled open the lightly closed door. This was where Xiaohui lived. Her virgin land that had never been set foot on by anyone was now finally presented to Haoshu.

Hiroshi was nervous and uneasy, and his mood was extremely complicated. This was natural. The answer he got from the enthusiastic old lady confirmed the fact that Xiaohui had transferred schools, and even her family left in a hurry.

Why on earth would Xiaohui do this?

They gently pushed the door open and walked in slowly. Xiaohui's home was filled with the smell of dust. The room illuminated by the sunlight was very quiet, peaceful and without a trace of echo. Well, this is Kato Megumi's home, now or it can be called her former home.

Because of the hasty departure, the large furniture was not moved, as if something big had happened and someone had to push them away and force them to leave. However, we are glad that nothing here has changed.

"How should I put it? Is it exactly as I imagined?"

There is no luxurious decoration, nor is there a simple layout. What appears before them is just an ordinary and exquisite room. This is where she lives. The land and water shape the people.

From here, you can see her shadow!

His pupils were slightly bright, and Hiroshi could even imagine Xiaohui living here. In an instant, Hiroshi made a decision in his heart that he wanted to preserve this place.

He thought that if Xiaohui could come back here one day, she would see that her home had not changed. Yes, it is home.

"Well, Hiroshi, let's split up and see if Xiaohui left anything behind."

Shiyu looked at the room where all the small items had been cleaned up, a look of boredom flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and made a suggestion.

"Oh well."

Reminded by Shiyu's voice, Haoshu came to his senses. He nodded, looked at the layout of the room, and walked straight towards Xiaohui's room.

"Well, people with too many skills are a bit scary."

Shrugging her shoulders slightly, Shiyu casually looked around at other rooms, but they were all tidy. Shiyu just took a quick look and moved on to the next place.

As she walked, Shiyu frowned, touched her stomach, and took a breath.

"Hiss, did you eat too many bad sandwiches at noon?" He covered his stomach and turned to look at Haoshu who was watching him carefully in the other room and shouted, "Haoshu, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, go ahead."

"saved."

Shiyu walked quickly to the bathroom, sat on the toilet and slowly exhaled. Her eyes wandered around boredly, capturing the quiet bathroom. Suddenly, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and was stunned.

Coincidentally, she has also used this thing.

But unfortunately, the result made her feel very sorry.

She bent down to pick up the thing, and the sight that came into her eyes made her gasp, and a look of disbelief flashed across her face.

"this is!"

What caught her eye were two deep red bars. Shiyu's face was filled with deep horror, which slowly faded away after a long time.

Now, everything made sense! Why did Xiaohui leave without saying goodbye? Why did the Kato family agree to move? They wanted to respect Xiaohui's choice, and they made this decision to protect their daughter from being looked at strangely by others!

"I see, you've actually gone this far."

After taking a deep breath, Shiyu looked at this thing and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong, Shiyu, is your stomach still hurting?"

Hiroshi's voice came from outside the door, startling Shiyu.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'll be fine soon. Did you find anything over there?"

Shiyu hurriedly tidied everything up, and finally took a deep look at the thing in her hand and put it into her skirt pocket. Her choice for this matter was to keep it as a secret in her heart. This was Xiaohui's own choice, a choice she made with her own will, and Shiyu chose to respect it.

creak

After opening the door, Hiroshi was staring at the street outside the window in a daze, his eyes fixed on a place in the distance. Following his gaze, he saw the intersection of this street.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

He patted Hiroshi's shoulder gently and said to him. Hiroshi didn't turn around and still looked into the distance with a dazed expression.

"No, they took almost everything with them."

"Really? You're so decisive."

"Well, that's really decisive."

Hiroshi smiled bitterly and lowered his head tiredly.

"Hey, Shiyu. Why do you think Xiaohui left?"

"Is this love, I suppose?"

"what?"

"Ah, I seem to have said something strange, sorry."

If Hiroshi were to be told, a scene that no one wanted to see would definitely happen. Although he had already said that he was prepared, being prepared is one thing, and actually seeing it happen is another.

The burden on him was too heavy.

Shiyu's eyes became softer, mixed with a few traces of heartache, and focused on Haoshu's tired face.

"What's wrong? What happened? I always feel that the way you look at me is pitiful..."

"No, nothing. Since we didn't find anything, let's go back."

"Come to think of it, Xiaohui really left."

Haoshu's face darkened, and after hearing the news, he rushed to her house.

"If only I had noticed her signs earlier yesterday,"

"Well, she's Xiaohui after all. It would be strange if Hiroshi could find anything about her, right?"

"But"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's the end of this matter!"

Shiyu made a pause gesture, and looked at Haoshu with the same gentle expression, her beautiful eyelashes seemed to exude infinite tenderness.

"Xiao Hui has left. That's a fact, isn't it? It was her decision. No matter the reason, I don't think she would want you to be immersed in the sadness and grief caused by her." Her eyes darkened slightly, and she turned her head to look at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. In a voice only she could hear, she whispered softly, "Don't let her sacrifice be in vain."

The white face is filled with the red color of the sky, just like the burning clouds in the sky, gorgeous and beautiful.

"Thank you, but I feel like you know something, Shiyu."

"Yes, I feel the same way, I feel the same way!" Shiyu said with a slight sweat on her forehead, trying her best to keep a calm tone.

Take the initiative to go forward and hold his hand, no longer standing still. The one who left has temporarily left, but life still goes on, right?

Final.

"If this happened to me, would I make such a brave decision?"

Standing in the deep corridor, time has gradually passed to the evening, and the sunlight coming in from the outside is gradually swallowed up. Shiyu turned around and took a deep look as if she wanted to take in all the scenes.

"Goodbye, Miss Brave."

Chapter 171 Gokogen Hiroki and the New Rhythm

The thought of "if only I had done that then" kept lingering in my mind. However, it didn't turn into genuine regret. It was just a fleeting excuse.

Xiaohui left quietly.

Without any warning, they retreated quietly for unknown reasons.

The memory of her in Hiroshi's mind was paused, and time with her seemed to have stopped. But no matter what, the real time still passed mercilessly.

According to the news received in the morning, a whole day has passed. The red sun is gradually setting in the clear yellow sky, and the interweaving of light and shadow illuminates the two people on the street.

A gust of cold wind swept past, and the bleak chill of winter invaded the body. The figure beside him trembled slightly. With the suppressed movement, the chaotic thoughts in Haoshu's mind were frozen and solidified by the cold chill, and finally shattered and melted.

The heart and body were in sync. He turned his head slightly to look at Shiyu. Her originally fair face was now slightly frosted. Only then did Haoshu realize that Shiyu's clothes today were thin despite her gorgeous outfit. Even when he stood next to her, he could feel the cold touch coming from her body.

The people around me have been persevering.

what reason?

Yes, Xiaohui's departure must have been unsettling for her. And Hiroshi's current attitude was also worrying her, so she was holding on. And since she still hadn't gotten over the last incident, adding more pressure and causing Shiyu to collapse again wouldn't be a good idea.

This time there was no excuse for him to work for her, because he was already her editor-in-chief.

"Shiyu, are you cold?"

While asking, his coat had already covered those somewhat desolate shoulders.

Warmth enveloped the figure with its head lowered. When Shiyu looked up, she was met with Haoshu's smiling face. What she saw, heard and felt was like a warm fireplace in the severe winter, warm, gentle and sweet.

With her eyes narrowed in happiness, Shiyu tucked her neck into Haoshu's clothes and raised her straight nose.

"A little at first, but not anymore."

"Yeah, that's good."

He straightened his back and glanced at the street behind him with nostalgia, not out of longing but reminiscing about the shadow of another person.

"Hiroshi, are you still thinking about her?"

Shiyu's voice sounded appropriately beside him, and Haoshu replied with a slight shake of his head.
