The work seemed to be completely completed today, and no construction workers were seen, but she did see the boy with long cherry-pink hair. He was pacing on the boulevard and talking on the phone in a strange language she had never heard of.

After their eyes met, Hanada Qi Yu waved and greeted her.

As a last resort, her good upbringing made her stop, bow slightly and nod to the other party in a polite response.

After Hanada Qiyu said a few more words on the phone, he hung up and walked towards her.

"Good afternoon, Toyokawa Shoko."

"……good afternoon."

Toyokawa Shoko responded calmly, her hand holding the school uniform bag clenched slightly, and her mind quickly wondered how the other party knew her.

She used to study at Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, so there was no way she knew him at school. Could it be that they met during normal family social activities?!

If so, that's really... embarrassing.

She came to Inaba High School not only to save tuition fees, but also to stay away from her previous social circle. She really didn't want to meet anyone she knew.

No matter what the other party thought of her current situation, sympathy or ridicule, she didn't want to know.

She bit her lower lip slightly, thinking of the worst.

But she soon realized that the other person calling her classmate might not be someone she knew before, but someone who would soon go to Inaba High School together!

As for how to find out her name, just ask the teachers.

With a more reliable guess, she asked directly.

"Are you planning on attending Inaba High School too?"

"Well, please take care of me when the time comes."

Hanadazaki replied politely.

Upon hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but feel relieved, but then she became nervous.

We don’t know each other, but it’s still bad to ask about her!

Could it be some weird person?!

She envisioned a high school life in which she would study quietly, work hard, practice musical instruments as much as possible in the remaining time, and avoid meaningless social activities whenever possible.

She didn't want to have anything to do with other people.

"Excuse me, how do you know me? Can you tell me?"

She asked directly.

"Hmm... I don't think I should be the one to answer this question. You're going to see Xiao Mu now, right? She should be waiting for you. Go as soon as possible!"

Hanadazaki urged with a smile.

This made Toyokawa Shoko even more confused. She wanted to continue asking, but Hanadazaki U suddenly came around behind her, reached out and pushed her towards the station.

"Xiao Mu is waiting very anxiously, hurry over!"

"Eh!?"

Toyokawa Shoko let out a small scream, not being used to such contact.

However, she could also see that the other party seemed to have other reasons for asking her to leave, so she didn't dwell on it. She looked at him strangely and walked towards the station.

"What a weirdo..."

she whispered.

At the intersection, Hanada Qiyu turned and walked towards the tree-lined avenue, returning to the villa.

Before he was halfway there, Nagasaki Suyo came out of the villa, looked at him and asked softly.

"Have you finished discussing business matters?"

"Yeah, just a little accident."

Hanada Qi Yu nodded in reply, without mentioning a word about her encounter with Toyokawa Shoko just now.

"A small accident..."

Nagasaki Suyo repeated the sentence, but stopped herself from speaking.

We just moved in together today and were about to go buy some daily necessities when Hanada Qiyu suddenly said that a civil war had broken out in a small African country and that it might affect a business he had invested in, so he needed to communicate remotely first.

The reason was so outrageous and the source of the information was so unknown that she didn't know how to believe it.

She knew that Hanada Qiyu was very rich and that he was the main source of income for the Hanada family, but she didn't know how he made money, and she had never paid attention to this aspect before.

Idea, woman's way.

"What's your business over there?"

Mining? Or...slavery?

She tried hard to think about it, but her knowledge of that continent was very limited. She could only think of the gold mines, diamond mines and the once famous slave trade.

"It's a fruit plant. I talked to someone about it when I was abroad before, and I made a small investment. The returns are pretty good."

Hanada Qiyu explained softly.

"Uh, okay."

Nagasaki Suyo felt that it would be better not to talk about things that were beyond her knowledge.

Although she wanted to know more about Hanadasaki Ame, some things just couldn't be forced.

Hanada Qi Yu looked at her and asked softly.

"My parents have gone back to work, so we have to do the shopping on our own. Which shopping mall is best?"

He had to lead her to avoid the current Shoko Toyokawa.

The child looks strong, but in fact he is delicate and fragile inside, and something might go wrong if he is not careful.

"Well, let's go to Makuhari New City?"

"it is good."

……

Yuze Coffee Shop, where Hanata Qi Yu and Wakaba Mu met last time, Wakaba Mu came here again, ordered a glass of mango juice, and sat alone in the corner playing with his mobile phone.

Yesterday, I went to Makuhari Seaside Park with Hanadazaki Ame and Nagasaki Suyo. We took a lot of photos, and she is now slowly looking through them one by one.

These are all very precious memories.

After waiting for a long time, Shoko Toyokawa finally arrived at the coffee shop.

Wakaba Mu took his eyes off his phone and looked at her.

Her long sky-blue hair fell over her shoulders, and was tied into a thin ponytail beside her ears. Her features were delicate and beautiful, and her posture was dignified and proper, as always. Her white long-sleeved top and gray diagonal mesh skirt were unchanged, still... the same outfit she wore on the day crychic disbanded.

Ruoye Mu thought quietly but didn't say it out loud.

Toyokawa Shoko sat down in front of her and then spoke to the waiter who came over.

"I'd like a cup of Yuze special coffee, thank you."

……

Chapter 40 You are so anxious!

"Xiao Mu, what do you want to tell me today?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked.

She was not in a hurry to mention the encounter with Hanadasaki Ame just now, and wanted to hear what news Wakaba Mu had first.

Ruoye Mu took a sip of mango juice and spoke softly after careful consideration.

"Sushi's mother remarried, and she has a younger brother, Hanata Qiyu."

"and then?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked, and at that moment, the cherry-pink figure flashed through her mind, as well as his strange behavior of pushing her and urging her to walk faster, and she suddenly understood.

"Her younger brother will go to Inaba High School, just like you. He bought a villa next to the school, and Sushi will live there too."

Ruoye Mu finished his explanation in a flat voice and drank the mango juice silently.

Shoko Toyokawa frowned slightly. She didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

"It's really disturbing..."

Since Su Shi lives directly near Inaba High School, the probability of meeting her every day will definitely increase greatly. Once they meet, I'm afraid they will be entangled!

When she thought of that scene, she felt a strong sense of fatigue crawling up her back, making her a little breathless.

Besides, that Hanada Qiyu bought a villa when she was in school, which sounds very annoying!

She is living a thrifty and cautious life here!

"Xiao Mu, how much did you tell that Hua Tian about me?"

Toyokawa Shoko continued to ask.

At this point, with school about to start, she can't find another school and can only make do with this one.

But Nagasaki Suyo still tries to avoid it if possible. Working is already hard enough, and she doesn't want to add more trouble.

Wakaba Mutsu told Hanadazaki Ame about his story, and it seems that he succeeded in getting help. With the help of both parties, she and Nagasaki Suyo can effectively avoid each other.

"I only told him the name and showed him the photo. Once I went to him, he understood what was going on. I couldn't hide it."

Wakaba Mu replied in a low voice that she indeed did not tell Hanazaki Ae much about Toyokawa Shoko, and Hanazaki Ae did not ask.

"He's such a smart guy, what a hassle..."

Shoko Toyokawa sighed softly, and felt a little headache when she thought that she might have to deal with him in the future.

She really doesn't want to have contact with anyone anymore.

While she was thinking, the waiter brought the coffee she ordered. She picked it up and took a sip. The rich and charming aroma made her squint her eyes comfortably, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Haven't tasted it in a long time, and it's delicious as always...

"Xiangzi, if you encounter any trouble at school, you can try to ask him for help. He is very reliable."

When Wakaba Mu said this, Toyokawa Shoko frowned, and her originally sweet and crisp voice also took on a hint of severity.

"I do not need!"

But after looking into Wakaba Mu's calm and innocent eyes for a few seconds, she finally sighed, relaxed her slightly tense body, and closed her eyes.

"I understand... If necessary, I will..."

She couldn't bear to say bad things to her childhood sweetheart who had always cared about her.

However, she refused this kindness!

She won't go looking for that Hanada Qi Yu!

She can hold on and doesn't need anyone's extra sympathy!

……

"Toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, shampoo, conditioner..."

In the shopping mall, Nagasaki Suyo carefully counted the items in the shopping cart, thinking about what else to buy.

She was not in a hurry to buy everything at once, she just bought what she needed for today.

Hanada Qiyu followed beside her, occasionally putting the things he wanted to buy into the shopping cart, and occasionally picking up an item to read the instructions to pass the time.

Nagasaki Suyo's shopping efficiency is slightly low, so he can squeeze out a lot of time to do meaningless chores during the process.

However, I haven't had this kind of experience of accompanying someone to a shopping mall for a long time.

He has been smart and independent since he was young. He does not need his old father's care. He basically does things like shopping on his own.

Later, he met his childhood sweetheart, Morika Nibutani, but she was so obsessed with her second-year fantasy that he couldn't extricate himself. He didn't know what she was fantasizing about all day long, and we never went shopping together or to places like shopping malls.

After spending quite a while filling up their shopping carts, Hanata Qi Yu and Nagasaki Suyo went to check out.
