Zongman: People are in the music show, relaxed and happy

She felt that her mind was in a mess and she seemed to be unable to figure out the problem.

She picked up the bill, looked at it, and left.

When I opened the door, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa. On the table in front of her were luxury brand packaging bags.

"Mother?"

There was a hint of surprise in Nagasaki Suyo's eyes, and she subconsciously tried to put on a smile and pretend nothing had happened, but she failed because she was in too heavy a mood.

When the mother in Nagasaki saw her daughter's heavy face, she immediately stood up and walked over to her, hugged her in her arms, and looked at her with concern.

"Xiao Sushi, what's wrong with you?"

"Why do you look unhappy?"

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head slightly and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, Mother."

Nagasaki's mother took her to sit on the sofa, then held her face in her hands and looked at her seriously.

"Xiao Sushi, no matter what happens, you can tell mom and I will help you find a solution."

"Did someone bully you?"

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head again.

"No one bullies me."

Nagasaki's mother held her in her arms and looked at the luxury items on the table.

"I admit that I have been focusing too much on work and neglecting my little Su Shi."

"There's rarely any time to talk to you."

"Actually, I had a social event cancelled today, so I was very happy to be back early. I rushed to buy you these gifts to celebrate the start of your high school life."

"I thought I could give little Su Shi a surprise..."

Nagasaki Suyo felt her mother's warm embrace and this rare moment of tenderness. All the suppressed emotions suddenly surged up and she couldn't stop crying.

"Mother...I..."

Nagasaki's mother took out a tissue and wiped her tears, her voice gentle,

"It's okay, Xiao Sushi, you can talk to me anytime you want, I'm always willing to listen."

After calming down a little, Nagasaki Suyo raised her head from her mother's arms, looked at the only person she could rely on, and decided to ask her for help.

"Mom, when I was in the third grade of junior high school, I joined a band. Do you remember this?"

Nagasaki's mother nodded.

"Of course I remember. When I first joined, Xiao Su Shi was very happy every day."

"Are you sad today because of the band's matter?"

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyes,

“The band fell apart months ago.”

"Now the members don't keep in touch with each other much, and some even avoid each other on purpose."

There was a look of surprise in Nagasaki's mother's eyes.

"Ah~how could this happen?"

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head.

"I don't know why Xiangzi left suddenly. Xiaomu should have known about it, but she didn't want to tell me."

"Deng-chan thought it was his fault and stopped contacting us. Li Xi also left..."

Nagasaki's mother felt a little guilty when she saw her daughter showing weakness to her for the first time since the move.

For a long time, because she is so well-behaved and sensible, it is sometimes easy to overlook the fact that she is just a teenager.

No matter how mature she is inside, she will have her own worries and problems in growing up, and troubles that are difficult to solve.

The Nagasaki mother held her daughter's hand and listened to her quietly.

"Because from the beginning to the end, we have never sat together to have a good chat, so I want to try to contact everyone so that everyone can sit together and communicate face to face."

"If there are problems, we solve them, and if there are ideas, we discuss them."

"But the reality is more difficult than I imagined. In addition to Xiangzi, another key person, Dengjiang, has not been contacted. Even if we contacted him, we couldn't meet him."

"I recently met a friend of Dengjiang's now, and I just met him. I wanted to ask him to help me ask Dengjiang out, but he refused."

"This is the best I can think of right now, but it doesn't work."

"So... I don't know what to do now..."

After listening to her, Nagasaki's mother looked thoughtful.

"Xiao Sushi, is this friend of Dengjiang you mentioned related to the band you formed before?"

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head.

"It doesn't matter."

"He and Deng-chan are classmates. They just met after the start of this semester."

Nagasaki's mother nodded.

"Then what kind of awareness do you have when you ask for help?"

"Put yourself in his shoes. If you were him, would you help him?"

Nagasaki Suyo was shocked and felt that her soul had been seen through by her mother.

Nagasaki's mother continued, her eyes gradually becoming serious.

"I know you want to mend your relationship with your former bandmates, but your approach needs to change a bit."

"For example, when you ask someone for help, they actually have nothing to do with your previous band. If you ask them to help, you are actually asking them to force themselves to do something their friends are unwilling to do, which actually hurts the relationship between them."

"If everything goes well after you meet, it would be fine. But if it doesn't go well, it would be very difficult for him to be caught between you two."

"So it's only natural that they reject you."

"Xiao Su Shi, I think you care a little too much about your own feelings in this matter."

"And you acted too hastily and didn't consider many things."

Nagasaki Suyo was speechless after listening to her mother's words.

The seriousness in Nagasaki's mother's eyes eased a little, revealing a gentle look.

"Xiao Sushi, if you really need him to serve as a bridge between you and the original band members, you have to make him your friend first. Otherwise, he will have no position or reason to help you. Do you understand?"

"The friends I'm talking about are not those who only have a casual relationship with you, but friends with whom you can be close and honest with each other."

"Now that it has just happened, go and apologize to them and try to smooth things over."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded, said "thank you" to her mother, then got up and walked into her bedroom.

Volume 1: Chapter 24 Does this count as having dinner together?

Shirakawa Ze, who was watching the live show at STARY, received a message from Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I'm really sorry, Shirakawa-san. What I said this afternoon was a bit too emotional and I didn't consider your feelings."

"If you have time tomorrow, I would like to invite you to lunch and express my apologies to you in person."

After reading the message, Baichuanze turned off the screen and put away his phone.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all STRRY's performances were over. After saying goodbye to Ijichi Koka and Yamada Ryo, Shirakawa Ze left the performance hall and walked slowly towards his residence.

After walking for a while, he opened his phone and sent a message to Nagasaki Suyo.

"I feel your kindness, so there's no need to eat."

In less than a minute, the other party sent a message back.

"Thank you for your understanding. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Baichuan Ze did not reply. He put away his phone and walked towards a convenience store not far away.

Because I was watching a live show at night, I didn’t have dinner.

At this time, I remembered that there was still a system task that was not completed, so I bought two rice balls and prepared to go to the park in front to eat them, which could be considered as completing the task.

Although it is called a park, it is actually very small, with only a perfunctory rockery, some common flowers and plants, and some conventional facilities such as slides and parallel bars.

When he reached the park gate, Shirakawa Ze saw a man sitting on a bench inside with his back to the park gate.

This piqued his curiosity.

As he walked into the park and got closer, he could see more clearly under the dim street lights.

Although the person had her back to him and his face could not be seen, he could tell from her long blue hair, the two buns of hair tied with ribbons, and the uniform that had become hardened and white from being washed so many times that it was Toyokawa Shoko.

"classmate……"

Shirakawa Ze kept a distance of two meters and made a sound.

Then he saw Toyokawa Shoko's body tense up instantly, and then she raised her hand to rub her face.

Then the other person turned around and looked at him.

It turned out to be Toyokawa Shoko.

Although the visibility was not very good at night, Shirakawa Ze could still see that there were tears in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes.

"Classmate, are you okay?"

Baichuan Ze spoke again.

Toyokawa Shoko had no expression on her face, and her voice was somewhat cold.
