Chapter 146: Lanyuan Girlfriends' Night Shopping Chat
Snapped--!
Xiaolan grasped Suzuki Sonoko's hand, quite firmly, with a calm look in her eyes:

"Sonoko, who do you take me for?"

"is not what it means!"

Sonoko quickly shook her head: "I just... just thought you might need comfort."

"So you also think that I'm the type who can't live without a man's gaze?"

"Absolutely not!"

At this moment, Yuanzi wanted to throw away her cell phone. She had really done a lot of unnecessary things this afternoon and now!
"I just……"

Yuanzi's eyes were filled with worry: "I'm a little worried about you."

Xiaolan let go of her hand, smiled, hugged her bestie tightly, buried her face in her hair, and took a deep breath:

"what--

I knew that Yuanzi was the best, but there's no need to worry. You said that I'm different now, and yes, I've become stronger.

Besides, doesn’t Sonoko exist by my side? I don’t need Shinichi or Suigetsu-kun or anything like that.

You are enough, and we will always be together."

Feeling the warmth in front of her, Sonoko's worried look gradually softened, and she gently hugged Xiaolan's back:

"Well, Xiaolan, we will be together forever. I will never leave."

Under the street light at the corner, the two hugged each other quietly, letting people come and go around them, and never breaking the quiet world separated by the gentle light.

a long time……

Xiaolan stood up gently: "Well... Sonoko, you're fine, but it's not okay to say that you'll never leave. You'll have a boyfriend in the future. And that will spoil me. I need to learn to live independently."

"Humph, who wants a boyfriend? I'll be happy as long as I'm with Xiaolan."

Yuanzi took Xiaolan's left hand and blinked:
"Is that incident over?"

Xiaolan sighed softly: "It's not a cartoon book, how can it be turned over just like that?"

"Oh, that……"

"But you can continue shopping now."

"Okay!"

Yuanzi cheered immediately, and suddenly thought of something. She looked down and saw Xiaolan covering her mouth and laughing.

"Okay!" Yuanzi pouted angrily, "Xiaolan, you really have learned bad things."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiaolan shook Sonoko's hand and stepped forward. "Because Sonoko is so good to me, I want to make her happy. Don't worry about my affairs, it's nothing."

"really?"

"fake."

"..."

Yuanzi was speechless: "Xiaolan, I don't have to mention that guy, but you seem to have been infected by him."

"Infection or something, that sounds weird." Xiaolan smiled softly, "But Shuiyue-kun did teach me a lot.

He taught me to look at things not only on the surface, to get rid of insecurity, fear and inferiority, to become truly independent, to live not for anyone's expectations or gazes, but only for myself.

Although I still can’t do many things, I think I have improved a bit compared to the past…”

Xiaolan looked a little uncertain about this and tilted her head to look at Sonoko:
"Is it right?"

Yuanzi sighed helplessly: "Of course there is growth. If you didn't ask me this, it means that there is more growth."

"I see... that makes sense!" Xiaolan nodded heavily, "I will continue to work hard!"

"…………" Sonoko rolled her eyes: "Suigetsu Hoto, that guy seems to be a decent person at your place, but..." She paused, "Can I say this? Or are we just strolling around?"

"Of course, Sonoko wants to ask how Suigetsu-kun feels about me, right?"

"Yes."

"The answer is the same as last time."

"Last time?"

Yuanzi was stunned for a second, then suddenly said, "You said you couldn't see his thoughts clearly, so it turns out you were just trying to fool me."

"Of course not, Suigetsu-kun is hard to understand, Sonoko, you...

Well, from what I see now, I don’t have much place in Suigetsu-kun’s heart. Even if he likes someone named Mao Lilan, it will probably be the fully grown me, not the current me. "

Although Xiaolan changed the subject, Yuanzi still understood it immediately and pouted slightly:

"Xiao Lan just wanted to say that I should also understand that he is a guy that is hard to figure out, right?"

"Gomenase..."

"snort.

In fact, before his bubble of lies burst, I thought I was seeing the real him, but after that day..." Sonoko covered her face helplessly, "To be honest, I still don't dare to believe what men say.

Xiaolan, you know, my sister and I became estranged for a while after that. After all, it was very awkward when we met.

It wasn't until last weekend, after I chatted with you in the dessert shop, that I mustered up the courage to go find her and we got back to the way we were before.

Then, my sister told me some things, not only how they met, but also the information she got from a private detective afterward.”

She paused and looked at Xiaolan, who was looking curious:
"You know that Mizuki Hotaru is the firefly of Kabukicho. Has he ever told you about this?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "Suiyue-kun will not avoid this topic, but he will not mention it to me."

"Is that so? Forget it then."

"You can't do that. You've whetted my appetite."

"I said this is suspicious of backstabbing. I don't want what happened this afternoon to happen again. I have to wait in the hospital for you to come over, Xiaolan. Ah - you don't know how much I suffered during that time. I didn't even dare to look at them."

"Hmm...So why didn't Sonoko leave?"

"Because I wanted to say something to make amends, but after they interrupted my apology, I just stood there like a light bulb, not knowing whether to leave or stay."

Sonoko sighed, "After class at 3:30, people started coming to see Kudo. I was looking forward to you coming over, Xiaolan, so that I could escape from my suffering. But then I remembered that you were participating in the karate competition preliminaries, which didn't end until 4:30."

At this point, she looked at Xiaolan and asked, "When did Shuiyue Yingsheng come to watch your game?"

"We'll be there around two o'clock, but..."

Xiaolan said in a rather annoyed tone: "He gave our minister a tip to ask him to call him when there are my games or other exciting games. The rest of the time he just sleeps in his seat with headphones on."

"..."

Sonoko shook her head: "Sure enough, he came here as soon as he asked for leave, but what on earth was he doing at night? He was catching up on sleep at school."

"Um……"

Xiaolan hesitated for two seconds and looked at Sonoko: "Isn't that the reason Sonoko wanted to say just now?"

"…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"It's too late, Sonoko. If you change the subject now, I will just think you are playing hard to get."

"..."

Sonoko sighed again: "It's nothing, actually."
