Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Lao Deng still couldn't hold it in and didn't keep calling the complicated-pronunciation name.

But it just sounds like: Oh Neigai, without Xiangzi, the Toyokawa family would be...

"Blood is thicker than water...but desire is always thicker than blood, isn't it?"

Xiangzi opened his mouth and squinted his golden eyes at his grandfather, then stood up and looked down at the man who said he wanted to be his daughter and would take care of him as if he were his mother's legacy.

After living in poverty for a few days, she understood what 168 billion meant, but she also couldn't understand why her father had to leave for this reason. If he wasn't capable, couldn't he stay at home or be demoted to an ordinary employee?

Or, in order to impress some people, as the head of the chaebol, he must pretend to severely punish incompetent among his own people to reassure those people?

Xiangzi didn't know, but she thought that feelings could not be measured by such things.

Of course, she probably couldn't understand it at the moment. The relationship between the so-called father-in-law and son-in-law could hardly be described as a family one.

But to her, both of them are her relatives.

But at the same time, Xiangzi felt a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart.

Look! It turns out that my grandfather, the one who turned his back on me coldly, would also say such words, apologize to me, and respect my ideas.

Why? Was it because I had become strong enough under the illumination of the fire? Was it because after all the suffering we had endured, we finally had some so-called status in the eyes of these people? It turned out that as long as we had these things, both my father's mistakes and mine could be accepted and understood?

Grandpa, you are really so understanding and snobbish...

"This……"

Looking at Xiangzi, whose eyes were narrowed and whose expression made him feel a little scared for some reason.

Fengchuan couldn't utter a word and could only utter a few words as if he was running away with his tail between his legs.

"She needs your help."

He said something like "I'm causing you trouble." to Kerry and the others, and then left.

After the people left, Xiangzi sat down again.

Then she saw the three people's strange looks.

"Humph!"

She snorted coldly in a voice that only she could hear. Although it was actually quite embarrassing, she gritted her teeth and pretended nothing had happened, turning her head to wait for the next person.

It turned out that the next person was even more important. Mu, who was allowed to walk to the door, saw Xiangzi's grandfather coming out.

"Ruoye, please help me too. Talk to Xiangzi and ask her to go home. You are a good child, okay?"

Xiangzi's grandfather asked her in a low voice.

"Don't call me Ruoye, and... I'm not your mouthpiece."

Ruoye Mu replied in the other party's surprised look, then stepped forward and pressed the call bell.

233

Chapter 233 I have a dual personality.

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who came in with his head down, Xiangzi felt that he had no way to back up this time.

She was just trying to figure out how to cut the cucumber.

Mu actually spoke first.

"Xiang, I want to be with you too."

ha?

Mu's words stunned not only Xiangzi, but everyone else as well.

Xiangzi's brain raced for a while before he realized what Mu was talking about.

His expression changed immediately, and he no longer cared about maintaining his own worldview. He looked at Mu standing there and spoke angrily.

"Mu, do you know what you are saying?"

"Soyo, I'm worried about you."

Mu turned his head away.

"That's not what I'm asking! What do you mean you want to be with me?

Don’t you know how dangerous this is?”

There is no time to care about Nagasaki Su Shi or what Ruoye Mu is doing.

Mu opened and closed her mouth, and sank her eyes into the shadows. In fact, what she wanted to say was not that sentence, but her inner desire.

I long to be able to escape from the irritating daily life and live freely like Xiangzi.

But when she wanted to express herself, she said what she really thought.

But like so many times before in her life, every time she tried to say what she really wanted, instead of hiding herself and saying what others wanted to hear, she always seemed to mess it up.

It seems to have failed again this time.

Looking at Xiangzi's anxious face and feeling the force that was about to shake him apart, Mu's expression was a little painful.

Only then did Xiangzi realize that he seemed to have been too harsh. After letting go of Mu and making sure she was okay, Xiangzi took two steps back and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

"Don't let your imagination run wild! Things here are not something you can get involved in.

I told you last time, don't get involved with me in the future, and don't talk to me even if you recognize me in a situation like this."

Cold words came out of Xiangzi's mouth.

Mu was trying to calm himself down, to feel and understand the meaning of Xiangzi's words.

That's probably concern.

But why do you express your concern in this way?

"Xiang can do it, but I can't?"

Another sentence came out of Mu's mouth.

Xiangzi was also a little upset. She had never felt that it was such a troublesome thing for Mu to be difficult to communicate with.

Where has the talkative, cheerful and easy-going Mu gone?

Why are they all like this? I clearly don't want them to come over, but they always come over for no reason.

I want to protect them. Even if they don't understand, is it so difficult to do what I mean?

It's too late now, the past can't be returned.

And she has no regrets at all. She is very sure that she is happier now than she was in the past.

But it's too late, it's too late. Can't they understand my efforts?

Do I have to hurt them again and again until they are heartbroken?

Xiangzi now wanted to do something to Mu with a smile to melt the stubbornness that made her unhappy, just like what she did to Nagasaki Suyo that night.

But she controlled herself, she resisted the urge to let Miss Ob, who took the damage for her, appear.

My life is dangerous and I don't want you to be dragged into it and put yourself in danger too.

You don't know how many people died in front of me like that. I don't want that. I don't want you to become one of them. I don't want you to become the zombies in Kasai Park. I don't want you to become those people on the ship who were accidentally hit by poison arrows and never wake up again. I don't want you to become those people in Hinamizawa who were beaten into sieves.

I'm also very sorry, I'm also very sorry, I also want to be with you again, it would be best if I could bring my new acquaintance Kerry and others along, so that we can all live a wonderful youthful life together.

But when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't open her mouth like He Mu, and couldn't say these caring words, and couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, Xiangzi realized that perhaps he and Mu were quite similar, except that Mu could say what he could not.

"Mu! There's a limit to being a spoiled child!

Stop saying those willful words! This world can't be what you want it to be! Go back and take good care of Aunt Mori Minami! Then continue..."

Mu kept his head down while talking, but when Xiangzi came closer, he noticed that the corners of Mu's mouth were raised.

Xiangzi paused for a moment and put his hand on Mu's shoulder again.

"Are you listening to me carefully?"

"Yes, I heard it, Xiang, you care about me a lot!"

Ok?

What the hell?

Xiangzi was stunned, even frightened.

"Hehe! Xiangzi, you are very anxious, very anxious.

But unfortunately, Mu won’t listen to you!"

Mu raised his face, and a smiling face appeared in front of Xiangzi.

Xiangzi felt like his heart skipped a beat. The human corpses he saw the Hilliards handling in the morning were not so scary.

"Since you care about us so much, Xiangzi, I will tell everyone. I will tell Soyo what I saw that day, what happened this time, and how much Xiangzi cares about her. It's just because Xiangzi is too delicate and can't talk to people properly that he said those hurtful words. Then everyone will understand and won't appear in front of Xiangzi again!"

Mu spoke to Xiangzi with a smile.

"Who made Xiangzi happy alone? He didn't even want to meet in a friendly manner!"

What...what did you do? Xiangzi looked at a loss.

Kerry next to him couldn't help but pick up the cup of drink and took a big sip.

good good!

"Don't do unnecessary things!"

Although Xiangzi didn't know what he was doing, he still triggered a defensive counterattack.

"I'll do it! What can Xiangzi do? Or will such a gentle Xiang kill me?"

Mu exaggeratedly made an exaggerated and happy gesture that only TV actors would do to express their emotions, and then stood in front of Xiangzi with his tablet.

"you!"

Xiangzi was speechless.

Stop it! This isn't what I mean by love and laughter!

What's going on?

"Well, that's what I said then!"

Mu turned around and was about to open the door and leave.

"It seems I need to talk to the child who won't listen."

"Ah! What else is there, Xiangzi..."

Mu was smiling when he felt his wrist being grabbed. He turned around and saw Xiangzi with his mouth grinning wildly.

"I'll take her to the back to talk."

Xiangzi turned his head and said something to the people sitting there.

Then, with Mu looking somewhat flustered, he dragged her to a separate bathroom at the back.

Kerry put down his drink with regret. Why isn't this crucial part being broadcast?

A few minutes later, Mu came running out from behind and escaped.

Xiangzi walked out with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "You are the only one who can compete with me."

Then, looking at the three people who looked at her curiously, Xiangzi turned around and rushed back to the bathroom, locking the door.

Teammates also running marathons?

234

Chapter 234 Come back to me!

While Xiangzi was hiding behind the door, Kirito's guests came.

Compared to the intense situation on Xiangzi's side, Kirito's side was much more normal.

Asuna's parents just came over to ask a few questions, and after learning that Kirito was not in a position to reveal his identity for fear of being implicated, they agreed with his statement.
