You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

the man.

How should I pursue her...?

Chapter 104 Toyokawa Shoko: Come with me to see grandpa.

You can only believe half of what girls say.

Because the remaining half is always in Schrödinger's state.

Whether it is good or bad, a blessing from heaven or a roar from hell, it all depends on her mood that day.

As for what the underlying meaning is, just understand it in the opposite direction.

For example, if she says she is tired from walking, she actually just wants to order a cup of milk tea to replenish her energy. If she says she doesn’t want to eat, she actually just wants to have a small bite but is afraid that she won’t be able to finish it. If she says she doesn’t want something, she actually still wants it deep down in her heart, otherwise she wouldn’t pay special attention to it.

As an experienced love connoisseur, Toyokawa Sho believes he knows a lot about girls.

When I first heard Toyokawa Shoko say that she was ready to meet Takamatsu Tomo, I already knew in my heart that this person must be bragging.

It seems that they are fully prepared, but in fact they are just trying to save face. When they really reach the point where they want to become a human bridge, they will inevitably back down and say that they cannot do it here or there and will come back later.

But Toyokawa Sho still underestimated Toyokawa Shoko.

She started to get cold feet before she even reached the I Want to Be Human bridge.

Her previous strong and determined appearance of wanting to reconcile quickly faded, like melting snow, burning her stubborn shell into a soft and sticky state, turning her into a Xiang Paopao who was afraid to face reality.

Master Xiang sighed and dragged someone over bit by bit.

Someone was being unreasonable, saying that he would come back another day when he was fully prepared, and that meeting in person was too awkward, so it would be better to just make a video call and talk about it, and then work it out slowly later.

In the end, Toyokawa Sho pretended to be angry, and someone evolved from Xiang Paopao into a young lady again. They walked to the door of Takamatsu Deng's house together and rang the doorbell.

The one who helped open the door was Yuji Takamatsu.

The man was wearing a light blue custom-made suit jacket and looked like he had just gotten home from work. The tie clip on his tie was extremely conspicuous, obviously a gift from his wife.

When he saw that the visitor was Toyokawa Sho, he was stunned at first, then he immediately smiled and welcomed him warmly.

"Welcome, Toyokawa-kun, the light is in the room right now. This kid hasn't joined any clubs, so he always comes back early."

When Takamatsu Yuji said this, he was actually hinting that Toyokawa Sho could come over and visit more often in the future.

Then he shifted his gaze to the side and found that there was a person standing next to him who looked extremely similar to Toyokawa Shoko, almost as if they were carved from the same mold. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating and actually saw such a weird thing as a clone.

"Toyokawa-kun, who is this...?"

Takamatsu Yuji looked at Toyokawa Sho.

"My sister,"

Toyokawa Sho didn't care about the sudden murderous look from someone and confirmed the identity of brother and sister. "She's the keyboard player that Li Xi told you about yesterday, who used to be in a band with Deng. I came here today specifically to bring her to apologize to Deng."

Takamatsu Yuji suddenly realized that he had already learned about Crychic when he was chatting with Riki on the sofa yesterday.

And I understand that the reason why the band later disbanded was because there was some problem in the girl's family and she could no longer continue with the band activities, but she didn't explain it clearly at the time, which led to their parting on bad terms in the end.

To be honest, Takamatsu Yuji didn't have any grudges about this. It was true that he loved his daughter very much, but he was not the kind of unreasonable parent who would make a big fuss if his child suffered the slightest injustice.

He understood this kind of dispute caused by youth and ignorance, so after knowing Toyokawa Shoko's identity, he did not scold the other party, but just spoke in a peaceful tone as always.

"You're the Fengchuan classmate, right? Don't be nervous. As adults, we won't say anything about things between you kids. If we have to say something, it's just because we hope you can talk it out. I was your age, too, so I understand that sometimes I do get into arguments with my friends over certain things."

Takamatsu Yuji sighed softly, "Back then, we were all young and full of energy, and we all thought that our reputation was the most important thing in the world. Now that we've grown up, looking back on the past, we regret that we should have been able to talk things out properly."

"You are all very smart children. There are many things you understand. I won't nag you any more. Come in quickly. Do you want any snacks or fruits? I'll prepare them for you."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko's pupils twitched slightly.

Before coming, she wondered whether Deng's parents would look at her with disgust, but she didn't expect their attitude to be so gentle.

The words were stuck in my throat for a long time, and finally I whispered "Thank you".

"No need to trouble you. I left all the snacks in Deng's room yesterday. We can just eat those."

Compared to Toyokawa Shoko, Toyokawa Sho seemed very casual. He shook Toyokawa Shoko's hand and walked straight into the house. "After we finish chatting, I'll help you cook, uncle."

"Then I will quietly look forward to your cooking skills, Toyokawa-kun."

When Takamatsu Yuji heard that Toyokawa Sho was still planning to stay and cook, he immediately felt that the tactic of letting him sleep in the same room with his good daughter yesterday had worked.

Have a look.

Now it’s so natural to offer to help with cooking.

Is the day far away when the father-in-law and son-in-law will drink alcohol against each other?

not bad.

Takamatsu Yuji couldn't help laughing as he began to imagine the future, but then he realized that if something happened in Toyokawa Shoko's family, wouldn't that mean that Toyokawa Sho, as her brother, would also be in trouble?

I used to be curious about what kind of parents could raise such an outstanding child like him.

It seems that the answer has been found.

It turns out that it’s not the parents’ education that’s so effective.

It's because he started facing life at a young age...

What a good kid who makes people feel sorry for him.

No, I have to find a way to give him some red envelopes when he comes out.

At the very least, I have to give him something.

At this age, children like them should be thinking about how to spend their youth happily.

Let us adults solve the real problems.

Children can grow up happily.

This is the greatest responsibility of every parent.

……

Toyokawa Sho imagined the scene where Toyokawa Shoko and Takamatsu Tomo would meet.

Or maybe it was Takamatsu Deng who broke through gravity and spoke first to reconcile with Toyokawa Shoko.

Or maybe Toyokawa Shoko finally evolved herself, calmly bowed her head, resolved the misunderstanding, and then easily obtained the forgiveness of the kind little animals.

Or maybe two people talk at the same time after meeting, and try to keep each other, but they end up making things worse and no one hears what anyone says. The atmosphere suddenly becomes joyful and relaxed, and they directly move towards a happy ending of reconciliation.

But Toyokawa Sho was the only one who never thought about it.

The two of them didn't say a word after meeting.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly, and it seemed that the stalemate would continue like this for a long time.

Toyokawa Sho couldn't bear to see the plot being so dragged out and awkward, so he coughed and elbowed Toyokawa Shoko calmly.

Stop playing dumb.

A hero cannot run away from battle.

However, the inherently evil kid from the Toyokawa family ignored his inner dialogue, saying that she had her own rhythm and he should ignore her.

Is this how you keep pace?

A talented and virtuous man is irritated by a woman without talent or virtue.

Toyokawa Sho shook his head silently. She hadn't suffered enough because of her dark history. She would behave herself after reading her own script. No matter how bad her temper was, it would be cured at the root.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Gao Songdeng looking at him secretly. After their eyes met, Gao Songdeng hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Could you please sit closer?"

As if he felt that this request was not very good, Gao Songdeng added in a whisper, "Just a little bit..."

People can't refuse the requests of cute little animals.

When Toyokawa Sho saw Takamatsu Deng, his mind was filled with the hurtful love words Takamatsu Deng said in the kitchen last night.

So after hearing Gao Songdeng calling him, someone abandoned his unknown counterpart without any hesitation and converted to become a devout believer under the throne of the lamp god.

However, just as he stood up, he was grabbed by the wrist by the hateful evil girl of the Toyokawa family and dragged back to his original position with great force.

"what are you doing?"

Toyokawa Sho turned his head and looked at someone, asking why the other person was blocking him from pursuing happiness.

"Don't leave,"

Someone's tone was inexplicably like an animal guarding its food, "Just sit here."

"Let go, the lamp needs my help."

Toyokawa Sho refused righteously.

"Me too...!"

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't control her tone, but fortunately she managed to control herself in time and didn't finish the rest of her words.

She took a deep breath, guilt and avoidance taking root in her heart. The memory of that day when she and Toyokawa Sho shouted to the moon that they wanted to form a band with Takamatsu Touma and the others for life was still vivid in her mind.

After hesitating for a long time, growth finally defeated the past.

He spoke sincerely.

"I'm sorry, Deng. I lost control of my emotions that day and said something to vent my anger... Actually, I didn't mean to blame you. I just..."

Toyokawa Shoko continued to lower her eyes. From the time she came in until now, she had not dared to raise her eyes to look at Takamatsu Deng. Even when she was apologizing just now, she was looking at the floor.

She knew that if she continued to speak, she would be just looking for excuses to exonerate herself, so she stopped talking and just waited for Gao Songdeng's answer.

But I waited for a long time.

She didn't even wait for Gao Songdeng's answer.

……Too.

If it were someone else, they would have stopped wanting to see me a long time ago.

Toyokawa Shoko's vision became dim, and she wanted to stand up and leave, but this time it was Toyokawa Sho who grabbed her hand and kept her in the room again.

"Xiang..."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth slightly.

"Look ahead."

Toyokawa Sho said softly.

Toyokawa Shoko blinked her eyes. If it was someone else, she might not have listened to these words, but if it was Toyokawa Sho who said it, no matter what kind of knots and difficulties were waiting for her ahead, she could take a deep breath and face them.

She closed her eyes, sorted out her thoughts, then secretly grabbed the corner of Toyokawa Sho's clothes with her fingers, as if to draw strength from it. After doing all this, she raised her eyes and looked directly at Takamatsu Deng in front of her for the first time.

Gao Songdeng was sitting very close to her, holding in both hands the notebook that Toyokawa Shoko had picked up when they first met, which recorded her thoughts and expressions. He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and silently handed the notebook to her.

When Toyokawa Sho saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit familiar.

I remember when I first saw Gao Songdeng holding this notebook, I walked up to him and wanted to reconcile with him.

He sighed softly.

Helped to speak up and broke the misunderstanding and conflict that should have ended long ago.

"Take it. I wasn't even allowed to look at this notebook lamp yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa subconsciously took the notebook from Takamatsu Deng's hand.

"No, no...! I'm just embarrassed to let Xiang see it... It's definitely not that I won't give it to you..."

Gao Songdeng said in a panic.

"Then just give it to Xiangzi?"

Toyokawa Sho deliberately teased the cute girl and said in a fake sad tone, "Oh, I'm so sad."

Takamatsu Deng didn't know that Toyokawa Sho was joking with her. Seeing Toyokawa Sho lowering his head listlessly, she felt extremely sorry.

So she ran to the table and got other notebooks, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she clumsily handed all the notebooks that she never wanted to show to others to Toyokawa Sho.
