You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

(But those everyday things that were taken for granted after meeting you)

"まるでviolationうspecialなものに思えた."

(They all turned into completely different special existences)

"The big cassock is the same as the king, the smile is the same, and the original one is the same.

(You’ll laugh at me for exaggerating, but it’s true.)”

Toyokawa Sho didn't speak too fast, and he pronounced every word clearly.

The glass mirror opposite reflected his body, and he could be seen leaning in front of the microphone, his handsome features moved by the singing.

He was actually a very introverted person when he was a child. The elite education in a large family often made him feel miserable. He wanted to tell his parents about his grievances and pressures, but his parents were always not around.

Even when he had time to come back a few times, his mother would only ask him about his studies and whether he had pleased his grandfather, and would not ask any other questions.

Although the scumbag would praise him a lot and was still a qualified father at that time, it was just that the scumbag was busy with work and had no time to spend more time with him.

The lack of family made him long for companionship, hoping that someone could hear his voice, and that someone could walk with him on this lonely and cold road.

That's the time.

Wakaba Mu came into his life.

Looking back at his life, no matter which episode you pick out, you can see the figure of Ruo Ye Mu in it.

No matter they were childhood sweethearts or facing life together as adults, Ruo Ye Mu was always silently by his side.

The word "half-body" is really too exaggerated.

But it is so suitable for Ruoye Mu.

It can be said that Ruoye Mu's company is his most indispensable part.

If it weren’t for Wakaba Mu.

Maybe he will develop a personality like Chu Hua or Su Shi.

The same is true for him.

If it weren't for Li Xi, he wouldn't even have money to buy groceries and cook for Toyokawa Shoko on the first day, let alone muster up the energy to sing like he does now.

It is the people he meets that make up who he is today. If any one of them is missing or if any one of them is added, he will not be who he is today.

He can stand here and play guitar now.

This was made possible thanks to the help of so many people.

Toyokawa Sho lowered his eyes slightly.

After comprehending his own feelings, he said something almost like a confession with a smiling tone.

"This is the first time I've created a new generation."

(The one who created me as I am now)

"Who is he? Jun なんだ.

(It’s not someone else, it’s you.)”

Chapter 64: Shiina Riki’s confession.

Girls' tears always seem to be given beautiful words.

Clear, translucent, lovable, and so on.

Or it may be associated with some beautiful appearances.

For example, the flourishing fireworks, the candied apples covered with syrup, the rolling sea of clouds in the sky, walking on the beach and looking at the sunset when the sea and sky merge into one, or the dewdrops dripping from the emerald green at dawn.

But no matter how you describe it.

They are essentially the same.

After the song is finished.

Shiina Riki slowly put down the drumstick in his hand, his moist eyes still swirling with uncontrollable mist, bean-sized tears rolled down from the corners of his red eyes, leaving winding tear marks on his delicate pink cheeks, his sobs were intermittent, and the sound squeezed out of his throat was more delicate and tender than usual.

She placed the drumsticks on the tom-tom and kept wiping her eyes with the palms of her hands, but even though she rubbed the area around her eyes until they turned red, she still couldn't stop the tears from flowing like a kite with a broken string.

She sniffed hard, and her big, delicate eyes, which were slightly blurred by watercolor, looked at Toyokawa Sho who was standing in front of her with watery eyes.

"I'll go downstairs and get some bottles of water."

After finishing playing the piano, Yamada Ryo next to him also felt a lot of emotions.

She originally wanted to clap along with the enthusiastic junior student next to her to cheer them up, but when she saw Shiina Riki crying, she was stunned at first, then her pink lips slightly opened, and she suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

Did Shiina cry because she didn't expect that this song would be sung to her by her junior?

Ugh.

Junior student fermented bean curd.

From now on, I’m afraid I’ll only think about my junior.

Although I often consider myself a weirdo, even weirdos know how to read the atmosphere. Now I'll leave the venue to Shiina and my junior. They'll go downstairs under the pretext of getting water, but actually hide outside the door and eavesdrop.

He did what he said. Yamada Ryo first walked forward to help turn off the sound card that was still recording, and then ran out.

Just as she ran out the door to prepare some popcorn to watch the emotional drama that was about to unfold in the room, she saw Toyokawa Sho sticking his head out and looking at her with a smile.

Their eyes met for a brief moment.

Almost instantly.

Yamada Ryo understood that hidden beneath that smile was a ruthless hammer of defeat, a countermeasure to smash her brilliant plan.

No, you can’t, junior!

You can't do this!

Yamada Ryo tried to stop Toyokawa Sho through telepathy, but it was in vain. The silver-blue-haired boy just smiled lightly, then closed the door with a click, and the next second there was the sound of the door being locked.

This action brought Yamada Ryo's hopes to the bottom.

The rehearsal room has no windows.

Once the soundproof door is closed.

I can't hear any sound.

Yamada Ryo sighed softly, with a crocodile tear in the corner of his eye. He wiped it away silently and put on his normal face again, as if the blow just now was just an acting performance.

Since I can't get any advantage from my junior.

Then go down and see if there is anything fun.

Let’s go.

On the other side, Toyokawa Sho closed the door, and before he raised his head, he felt himself being hugged tightly.

Looking down, he saw thick, silky black hair. Li Xi, who was still sobbing intermittently, rested her head on his chest. Even though there was an electric guitar between them, it did not prevent her from putting her hands around her waist, grabbing his back with her fingers, and gently pulling at his clothes.

Toyokawa Sho took a step back under the force and was almost pushed against the door by Lixi. He felt that he would press on the back of Lixi's hand, so he returned to his previous position, patted Lixi's shoulder gently, and then imitated the tone of a hairpin fairy and spoke.

"What are you doing, Shiina-san? We've only known each other for four days. This is going too fast. Let's wait a few weeks at least. I'm so sorry."

"...If you hate it...then just push it away."

Someone who buried his entire face said sullenly.

"If you push me away, you'll cry even harder."

Toyokawa Sho revealed the truth in one sentence.

"I'm not crying!"

Someone's bone claws were reaching behind him.

"pain."

Toyokawa Sho made a sound similar to that of a villager being attacked.

This move really worked immediately.

When someone heard Toyokawa Sho cry out in pain, he hurriedly raised his face, his beautiful eyes slightly red and swollen, his cheeks radiating heat, and his panicked expression.

After seeing that Toyokawa Sho was fine, he realized belatedly that he had been deceived again.

She lowered her eyebrows and wanted to be angry, but when she saw the other person's face, she felt a pang of pain in her nose for some reason, as if she was about to cry again, so she buried her face again, and the momentum that had been able to stand up just now suddenly became limp again.

"What do you think of this song?"

Toyokawa Sho let the girl hold him, "Isn't it nice?"

"... sounds good."

Li Xi said softly, "I should... never forget this song in my life."

"You don't need to remember it for so long. It's okay to forget it in a year or two."

"No! I will never forget...!"

Li Xi shook his head vigorously in his arms, "Whether it's The Old Man and the Sea or this song, I will remember them for the rest of my life. Even if I'm too old to even play the drums, I will always remember them."

"why?"

Toyokawa Sho asked with a smile.

"..."

Someone's ears were noticeably redder, and their mouth was probably open, but they didn't say anything.

"Then let me tell you?"

Toyokawa Sho joked calmly, saying that he was, after all, a great demon of the subspace, and he was born to play with the hearts of innocent girls.

"Aa ...

Someone directly sealed the devil's bloody mouth and fangs, and his eyes, still filled with tears, met Toyokawa Sho's amber eyes, and he felt his heartbeat quicken in an instant.

She felt the airflow of the other person's breath with her palm and felt her heart beating faster and faster. It was at this moment that she came to her senses and realized that she was so close to the other person. Before that, she was even hugging the other person.

She bit her lower lip, and finally slowly withdrew her hands. Then she mustered up her courage and tried to extend a slender index finger, but she did not dare to touch the other person's lips directly, and stopped just when she was about to touch them.

"I can speak for myself about my own affairs...so, let me speak for myself, okay?"

Looking at the slender white fingers pressed against his lips, Toyokawa Sho was a little surprised, but finally nodded with a smile.

Li Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The blur in his eyes also disappeared a lot.

She lowered her head and thought about what she wanted to say, but after racking her brains for a long time, she couldn't form any decent words.

So I simply gave up thinking and honestly said what I was thinking.

"I... don't know much about this kind of thing. My sister always watches related videos, but I never feel like they're to my taste, so she just drags me to the sofa to watch with her. After a while, I go back to my room and can't remember much of the plot."

"I don't know. Is it because I don't like TV dramas, or is it because being with her makes me feel... well, how should I put it? This person is so spontaneous. Every day when I come home, I see her playing on the computer or watching TV. But she's also incredibly strong."

"I envy her so much. She can easily stand on the top of the mountain without any hard work. But I'm already trying my best just to keep up with her... So I can't spend time with her. I'm afraid that if I do this, I'll be left further behind, until she can no longer see me."

Toyokawa Sho listened to Shiina Riki silently. He did not interrupt, but just acted as a quiet listener.

One hand gently patted her back, and the other hand slowly stroked her silky black hair, as if coaxing a child.

But it feels more like petting a black-haired dog that was left at home by someone, waiting with its eyes down but its owner never came back, and then when the owner came back, it threw itself into the arms and let the owner pat its head and be affectionate with it.

"I hate myself for being like this. She was clearly talking to me nicely, but I kept my distance from her with a cold face... It was terrible. I learned to play the drums just to draw a line between us, thinking that no one would compare me to her anymore. I dreamed of soaring to the sky one day, but every time I lay in bed, I realized that I just wanted to be my sister."

"She's confident, strong, and has everything I don't have... I feel sick about myself for wanting to be with her, yet wanting to avoid her at the same time. It's like there's a thick haze covering my heart."

"Crychic could be said to be... a place where I could briefly find my own value, but Crychic disbanded and was taken over by that guy Xiangzi—and just when I didn't know what to do..."

“You showed up.”

When Shiina Riki said this, he couldn't help but grip Toyokawa Sho's back a little harder with his hands.

This was not the first time she had spoken frankly to this person. It seemed that only when she was with this person could she feel at ease and say what she wanted to say.
