People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

"Xiao Xiang is your friend, but isn't Xiao Yue also a friend? Instead of cherishing the people in front of you, you're stuck in the past and can't move on..."

"It's all because Mom, you never come home."

"..."

A complaint that Nagasaki Motoyo blurted out left Motoyo's mother speechless, unable to utter the words of reproach she had intended.

Hesitation and silence lasted for a while, eventually turning into an awkward silence. The woman, who was always busy with work and rarely home, finally sighed, reached out and gently touched her daughter's long hair, and slowly began to speak:

"See, it's good to say it out loud, right?"

"mom……"

"Actually, Mom, I know you've always had a grudge about this, but no matter how I asked you before, you wouldn't say anything. Thinking about it now... Su Shi, your losing your temper with someone you shouldn't have is also a dereliction of duty on my part as a mother."

"However... you really need to vent your emotions, whether it's your family or friends. It's not good to keep them bottled up. Be sincere with everyone, say what you want to say, and express your true thoughts."

"But...but I'll hurt them."

"Then apologize properly. There is never a Game Over when it comes to family and close friends. Look... Xiaoyue still considers you a good friend, and she doesn't blame you anymore, does she?"

"..."

Why did a scene that was originally very touching and moving suddenly become so bizarre because of the appearance of a female ghost's name?

"Now that things are resolved, get some rest tonight. Of course, before that, Su Shi, you still have to pay the price for your impulsiveness. Clean up these cake crumbs, and those on the sheets too..."

"What is this? Su Shi, you still keep a dog at home?"

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the dog collar that her mother had previously put around Nanami Natsuki's neck, and she felt terrible.

"Ah... that... that's nothing at all!"

…………

In the cramped little house, Toyokawa Shoko, with the body of an old man and the heart of a young girl, lay in the dim light. She stretched out her right hand and reached upwards, as if trying to grab something.

Just now... her body underwent a very strange and wonderful change.

It felt like a large block of ice encountering the blazing sun, rapidly melting under its rays until it finally disappeared completely.

She didn't even realize what she had lost at first.

After some thought, Xiangzi realized that what she had lost seemed to be Su Shi's obsession with Crychic.

In fact, Su Shi's obsession with that band from the past was not unique to him; Xiangzi himself also had it.

But now she seems to be able to suppress that unattainable obsession deep in her heart and focus all her attention on the adult workplace life she urgently needs to deal with.

"This should be considered a good thing, right..."

But why did she still feel flustered and nervous? It was as if she was afraid to face Su Shi, and the memory of Su Shi was beginning to torment her nerves like torture.

Her phone vibrated slightly, and Toyokawa Shoko's breathing quickened. When she opened her phone and saw that the message wasn't from Nagasaki Motoyo, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

When she saw that the sender was Xiaomu and the message said that Xiaomu had not encountered anyone named Nanami Natsuki who came to her door, Toyokawa Shoko felt much more at ease.

But why didn't Nanami Natsuki go to find Mutsu?

What exactly is that guy up to? Has his conscience returned? Or is there another scheme at play?

Toyokawa Shoko didn't believe that a naughty child would change on his own without guidance from others, but she couldn't tell Xiao Mu too much, because the things that happened to her and Su Shi were unlikely to be believed by anyone.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu seemed to have gotten used to taking her words to heart. Even though she didn't explain much, Xiao Mu promised to be careful of the girl named Nanami Natsuki.

Gradually, Xiangzi, whose emotions had completely calmed down, slowly drifted off to sleep.

In this dream tonight, she seemed to dream of her mother again. Her mother was standing motionless with her back to her, while she was running in place, but no matter how she took a step, she could not get any closer to her mother.

Before she knew it, she suddenly woke up from the dream. When she woke up, Xiangzi noticed that there seemed to be a trace of tears still remaining in the corner of her eyes.

"Time to go to work again..."

Looking at the time on her phone, Toyokawa Shoko looked exhausted; she had never been so tired before.

In the past, when she worked, she was only physically tired, but she rarely had to dedicate her personal time to others after get off work like she does now.

If someone were to ask her which is easier, going to work or going to school, Xiangzi would definitely answer now: both are like being in prison.

Perhaps out of spite, Toyokawa Shoko prepared breakfast only for herself after getting up today, since all she had to do was turn around and see her bastard father still fast asleep in bed.

"...I'm going out."

Before leaving home, her words still received no response. Xiangzi frowned but didn't have much of a complaining thought.

Fine, let her father do whatever he wants...

However, Xiangzi did not expect that more than two hours after she left home, a person who should not have been there was standing at her door: Nagasaki Motoyo.

Today, Su Shi was wearing a beige dress and looked very depressed. After arriving at the door of her destination, she first confirmed that the nameplate on the door did indeed say "Fengchuan", but did not knock on the door immediately.

"Looks like Nanami wasn't lying to me after all... But that brat actually ran away after leaving home with his mother! Just you wait, Nanami Natsuki... I'll come to your house and settle the score with you later!"

"hiss……"

While muttering curses to herself, Nagasaki Motoyo gently rubbed her sore bottom. She was certain that Nanami Natsuki had done it on purpose last night. Knowing that all the pain would be transmitted to her, that guy must have tossed and turned in bed for a long time.

What a humiliation... Do you know what it feels like to not sleep well all night?

She had finally fallen asleep when she was woken up by the pain. She was furious and decided to confront Nanami Natsuki, but he locked the door like a coward.

However, it's best to put these trivial matters aside for now. The most important thing right now is to confirm whether Nanami Natsuki's statement, "Shoko will definitely be home. You can go to her house without worry," is true.

"Excuse me... is anyone home?"

Nagasaki Motoyo knocked on the door and called out a few times into the house.

However, what puzzled her was that no one in the house seemed to respond to her. Could it be that Nanami was lying?

Just as Su Shi was about to try knocking on the door and calling for help again, the door in front of her suddenly opened a crack.

"Huh? This door isn't locked..."

If you look closely, you'll find that there are many chipped paint and scratches on the lock of Xiangzi's door. This is because the two hot-tempered people in the house often quarrel, and after arguing, they both like to slam the door and run away.

Not to mention that Toyokawa Shoko wasn't in a good mood today, and she didn't notice that the door wasn't completely closed when she left home.

"Did I... disturb you?"

Nagasaki Motoyo nervously pushed open the door, but as soon as she stepped inside, she smelled a faint scent of alcohol, which made her steps tremble slightly.

Could it be that Xiao Xiang's father is home? She had heard Nanami Natsuki mention that Xiao Xiang's father was a heavy drinker.

I punched her last time, and she was also drunk... If I saw her again, wouldn't I just rush over and fight her to the death?

Or should we go back now?

"No, no... How can I go back without seeing Xiaoxiang!"

Nagasaki Sosho glanced around the house and quickly identified the only room with the door closed, where there seemed to be a figure peeking out from inside.

"Xiao Xiang? Is that you inside?"

"..."

"Xiao Xiang, it's me, Su Shi... Um, I have something I want to tell you, may I come in?"

"..."

Still no response.

Nagasaki Motoyo took a breath and then bravely pushed open the door, but just as she did, a beer can flew towards her face.

"oops!"

Chapter 56 Xiang's Father: Is this what it feels like to drive a Maybach? (4600 words)

What... what's going on?

The smell of alcohol was even stronger than outside the room, and beer cans were scattered all over the floor. But what was most surprising was Xiao Xiang, who was looking at her with a dejected look amidst the array of beer cans.

The moment their eyes met, Nagasaki Motoyo even had the urge to turn around and leave.

"Ah...is that Nagasaki Motoyo...?"

Slightly tipsy, Toyokawa Kiyotaka's head was a little dizzy, but he still had normal judgment.

Some people say that when you get drunk, you become a different person. This statement is not very accurate. As for Toyokawa Kiyotaka, getting drunk does not turn him into someone else. It just makes the emotions that he has been suppressing inside him gradually amplified.

Therefore, he could still recognize the girl who broke into his house by her appearance. She was Xiaoxiang's good friend, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had punched his daughter in the stomach that day (even though the body belonged to him).

Toyokawa Kiyoko was a little nervous, and his emotions were written all over his face as a result of the alcohol. He didn't dare to look into the girl's eyes because he had no idea how he, as an adult, should face his daughter's best friend.

Moreover, I am currently occupying my daughter's body, and the more I talk, the easier it seems to reveal secrets that cannot be revealed casually.

"Xiao Xiang? You...you've been drinking? And so much?!"

"..."

Seeing that Nagasaki Sosemi Shoko didn't want to talk to him, he no longer had that cowardly thought of running away.

She kicked away several wine jars blocking her way, then bent down and squatted down next to "Xiangzi," trying to reach out and pull Xiao Xiangzi in front of her.

"Don't touch me!"

"Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you...?"

"I'm sorry, I... I have nothing to tell you."

"Why……"

Nagasaki Motoyo felt very sorry for Shoko's current weak appearance. It seemed that... this version of Shoko was indeed more in line with the image of a middle school girl who was filled with despair after her family suffered a tragedy.

The problem is, you can't drink alcohol no matter what!

She suddenly began to have some doubts. Since that little bastard Nanami Natsuki could manipulate people's memories, talents, and personalities, could it be that... Xiao Xiang's choice to drink to vent his frustrations was also the result of Nanami's deliberate guidance?

In front of Xiangzi, Nagasaki Motoyo took out her phone and called Nanami Natsuki.

To her surprise, this little rascal actually answered her call immediately. Wasn't she afraid of her?

"Hello? Sister Su Shi?"

"I'm asking you, did you get Xiao Xiang drunk?"

"What? Xiao Xiang drank?! Oh my... Sister Su Shi, quick, let's report her! I heard there's a reward for reporting her!!!"

"You bastard... can you at least answer my question directly?!"
