You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

The singing is pleasant to the ears.

It’s like planting warm flowers in your heart.

She held the phone and placed it gently against her chest.

Xiang……

Please bless me and hope everything goes well today.

……

……

……

With carefully packaged cucumbers and an ordinary umbrella.

Wakaba Mu nodded to the driver to express his gratitude, then prepared to open the door and get out.

"Miss, where are you going? I can take you directly to the door. You don't have to walk a long way."

The driver couldn't help but say that it was raining so heavily outside and as a driver he was really worried. If something happened to Ye Mu, he would lose his job.

After hearing this, Ruoye Mu just shook her head silently. She didn't want Toyokawa Shoko to see that she came here in a special car.

Even though she knew that Shoko Toyokawa would not say anything about this, if possible, she still hoped to avoid hurting Shoko Toyokawa and making him recall his once beautiful family and wealthy life.

Wakaba Mutsu wants Toyokawa Shoko to know.

No matter what she looks like now.

We are all her friends.

Are equal, important friends.

Seeing that Ruo Yemu insisted on getting out of the car and leaving, the driver didn't know what to say and had to unlock the car.

Wakaba Mutsu opened his umbrella and followed the route he remembered all the way to the bottom of Toyokawa Shoko's house.

After a night of memory recall, Wakaba Mu was able to completely remember everything she and Toyokawa Sho had experienced together over the past ten years. She even saw that she and Toyokawa Sho gave up Crychic and re-established a band called AveMujica.

Although what happened after that was still unclear and still some vague and hazy fragments, Ruoye Mu had completely sorted out his memories of the past.

Toyokawa Sho and Toyokawa Shoko...are not exactly the same.

Although the two have similar life trajectories, they face two completely different difficulties in their situations.

Toyokawa Sho has lived a life similar to hers since childhood, without any warmth in his family, and his life is even worse than hers.

Her mother did consider her for the time being, but neither of her parents cared about him. Her father was a complete scumbag, and her mother was indifferent to him.

However, Shoko Toyokawa lived a very happy and fulfilling life for the first fifteen years of her life. Her father loved her, and her mother also loved her. Even now, when she has to leave the Toyokawa family, Shoko Toyokawa is facing a much easier situation than Sho Toyokawa did back then.

Everything that Toyokawa Sho desires seems to be easily obtained by Toyokawa Shoko.

Even at this point in time, Toyokawa Sho's mother has passed away due to illness, but Toyokawa Shoko's mother has survived the disease and is recuperating in the Toyokawa family.

The more Ye Mu thought about the differences between the two of them, the more worried he became. This degree of difference could almost be said to be two different lives.

She remembered the day when Sho Toyokawa talked to her about Shoko Toyokawa. At first, she didn't take it too seriously, but was a little surprised that Sho Toyokawa had actually met Shoko Toyokawa.

But now that she knew the decisive difference between the two, if Ye Mu recalled what Fengchuan Xiang said to her that day, she would feel as if her heart was being cut by a knife and she would be speechless.

Xiang must have known about Xiang's affairs, and must have known the differences between them...

That's why I used such a restrained tone.

That's why when you saw me... you hugged me so fragilely.

He came to this strange world alone, how panicked and uneasy he must have been. When he saw Xiang appear before him, he was speechless and choked with mixed emotions...

Given Yixiang's personality, he must have regarded Xiang as the only straw that kept him mentally healthy. He regarded Xiang as himself ten years ago and wanted to protect Xiang from the wind and rain as much as possible to make up for his regrets.

But despite having such deep feelings for him, he didn't get the results he deserved in the end.

Hard to imagine.

Xiang, who wants to find the meaning of existence in this world, will be devastated when he finds out that Xiang is actually different from him...

Ruo Ye Mu lowered his eyes, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and infinite heartache welled up in his eyes.

At this moment, she finally understood why Toyokawa Sho asked her to keep the secret.

Once Shoko Toyokawa finds out that it was because of her that Shoko Toyokawa became so shaky, she will surely suffer a mental breakdown because she cannot withstand such a strong shock.

Wakaba Mu silently clenched her palms. Whether it was Toyokawa Sho or Toyokawa Shoko, both were her childhood sweethearts whom she could not bear to part with.

If possible, she wanted to protect both of them and help them reconcile and get back together after going through so much pain.

such……

Only then can I fulfill my responsibilities as a sister.

Wakaba Mutsu walked to the door of Toyokawa Shoko's house, adjusted his breathing repeatedly, and then knocked on the door gently.

The door was opened quickly.

She was greeted by Shoko Toyokawa.

She was wearing a dress that Wakaba Mu had never seen before. It looked like a new dress that she had bought from a high-end brand store, instead of the old one she had already worn. However, since she had no other clothes that could be worn decently, she could only choose the eldest lady's dress that she had always worn.

Wakaba Mu's gaze lingered on the other person's clothes. The style and color of this skirt seemed to match the styles that Toyokawa Sho had chosen for her...

This dress.

Did Xiang buy it for Xiang?

really.

The relationship between the two of them is very good.

If Xiang didn't have those differences with Xiang...

I think Xiang should be the most important person to Xiang.

Even I—

"Mu, long time no see. It's raining so hard, I thought you couldn't come."

A long-awaited meeting.

The first person to open his mouth was Shoko Toyokawa.

"……Will not."

Wakaba Mutsu shook his head, folded the umbrella and put it aside, then handed the bag in his arms to Toyokawa Shoko.

"This is?"

Toyokawa Shoko blinked.

"cucumber,"

Wakaba Mu gave a brief answer, but fearing another rejection, he added, "...I grew it myself."

"Didn't I tell you not to bring anything? We're not friends for the first time, so why would we need to bring gifts when we visit?"

Toyokawa Shoko said in a slightly reprimanding tone.

“…No, I…”

Wakaba Mu lowered his head.

She brought the cucumber because she was worried that Shoko Toyokawa hadn't eaten well recently, so she wanted him to eat something healthy and nutritious.

"I'm sorry, Mu, I don't mean to be angry. I just want to say that I'm in much better shape now and I don't need you to worry about me anymore."

When Shoko Toyokawa saw Wakaba Mutsu lowering his head, she gently pulled Wakaba Mutsu's hand.

"Let's go inside and talk. I have a friend here too, and I want to introduce her to you."

friend?

Wakaba Mu was a little surprised by the word. She thought that Toyokawa Shoko only called her over today.

Given Toyokawa Shoko's current situation, it stands to reason that she should be the only one invited to this rental house that she doesn't want to show to anyone.

Who is this person?

With doubts in his heart, Ruo Yemu was taken to the living room.

Although it is called a living room, the space is actually very crowded. A TV takes up almost one-seventh of the space, and the space in the middle is only enough for a small round table and a few tatami mats used as cushions.

Wakaba Mu turned his gaze to the guest who was kneeling quietly on the tatami, and his clear pupils gradually shrank at this moment.

White V-neck short sleeves.

A matching pale yellow denim maxi skirt.

And the black baseball cap that is quite eye-catching placed next to it.

This person is——

"Mu, let me introduce you. This is Sanjiao Chuhua, a friend I met when I went on vacation to a small island with my parents. I told you back then that the person I met on the island who helped me catch beetles and played with me was her."

Toyokawa Shoko stretched out her little hand and introduced him, completely unaware of the change in Wakaba Mu's expression at that moment.

"Xiaoxiang was screaming so loudly at that time, ah—I was scared."

Sankaku Hatsuka looked at Toyokawa Shoko with a smile, then stretched out his hands and made a wave in the air.

"Isn't Chuhua the same?"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't expect that her dark history would be suddenly exposed, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at each other. At this moment, Ruoye Mu, who was standing next to them, seemed a little redundant.

Toyokawa Shoko noticed this and introduced it to Sankaku Hatsuka.

"Chuhua, this is my childhood sweetheart, Ruoye Mu, whom I mentioned to you. Our parents knew each other, so we often visited each other when we were young. He is a very important friend of mine."

"Well, Xiaoxiang, you told me about it, I remember it."

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and nodded, then shifted his attention to Ruoye Mu who was standing beside him.

Soon, she noticed that the other party was looking at her with a shocked look. She just blinked a few times, and then still smiled sweetly and waved gently at Wakaba Mu.

"Hello, Xiaomu, can I call you that? We are all Xiaoxiang's friends, please take care of me in the future."

Ruo Ye Mu did not answer, but just withdrew his surprised gaze and nodded slightly.

"Mu is quite shy. Once you get to know her, she'll talk a lot."

Shoko Toyokawa helped Wakaba Mutsu explain, and then asked Wakaba Mutsu to sit next to her.

Then she went to make a pot of black tea. These tea leaves were bought by her father yesterday and were perfect for entertaining guests.

"Mu, Chuhua, thank you so much for coming today. Even though it was raining so hard, you didn't break your promise. Thank you so much."

Shoko Toyokawa lowered her head slightly to express her gratitude.

"We must do what we promised, especially since this is Xiaoxiang's business."

Mikado Hatsuka helped Toyokawa Shoko up, then said with a smile, "Right, Xiaomu?"

"……Um."

Ruoye Mu nodded slightly.

"You two..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at her friends on both sides, feeling a little moved. She clenched her fists and said seriously, "I won't say any more thanks. I invited you today because I really have something very important to discuss."

"I'm going to put together a makeshift band this Saturday. Mu, Chuhua, I hope you can help me perform. This is a major event that will affect my life - really, please."

"Sure, I don't have work this Saturday."

Triangle Chuhua clapped his hands and said, "What position does Xiaoxiang need me to fill?"

"As for Chuhua, I hope you can take on the lead vocals and guitar."

Toyokawa Shoko thought carefully for a moment, then quickly gave an answer, "With your help, Chuhua, I believe we will not lose."

"Thank you for trusting me so much, Xiaoxiang. Please rest assured that I will do my best for you."

Sanjiao Chuhua then looked at Ruoye Mu who remained silent, "Xiao Mu, what position do you want to be?"

"Mu is also a guitarist, so she can just play the lead guitar."
