I am your deceased love sustenance 1

Chitose Noshiro opened her arms out of habit, but when she found out it was Shoko and not Suyo, she withdrew her arms again.

But Xiangzi was very considerate and went forward to hug Qiansui.

"I came to visit my mother. She is sick and in the hospital."

"Eh?"

"Why did Sister Sui come to the hospital?"

Come and wait for the death certificate, you child.

Qian Sui pinched her chin, realizing that the drug she had given Su Shi wasn't strong enough.

But luckily, Shoko Toyokawa came to her on her own...just in time for her to use it.

"I'm sick too, Xiangzi."

Chitose's voice suddenly became extremely serious, but gradually turned into a gentle smile.

"Xiao Xiangzi, do you have anything else to do today? If not... I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Huh? Rehearsal will start in a few hours, so I guess we have time," Xiangzi gave his answer to Chitose's sudden request.

"That's great, thank you, Xiaoxiang."

I hope it works better for you than I thought.

……

"What? Chitose sister, you..."

"Shh, keep it down, baby."

His index finger was placed in front of Xiangzi's lips. Xiangzi's lips were as tender and elastic as Deng, Lixi and Sushi's lips.

In the cafe, they talked face to face.

"But, but, I..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the somewhat frail Chitose in front of her in disbelief.

She was like a candle in the wind, which would fall down if blown by the warm spring breeze.

It is like a summer ghost, whose disappearance is destined to happen.

Although... this fragile feeling is also pretended by Chitose.

"Yes, when I'm gone, I'll have to rely on friends like you to help support Su Shi going forward."

Chitose's gaze moved downwards, finally stopping at the critical illness notice on the table.

The critical illness notice was not directed at him, but at Shoko Toyokawa.

It was like a sharp sword from God that pierced straight into Shoko Toyokawa's heart.

"this…"

Is this... a child being entrusted to someone else? And the person is actually his best friend's mother?

Shoko Toyokawa became incoherent for a moment. It was the first time she faced something called death so directly.

"I don't have much time left. It's cancer."

Chitose waved her hand nonchalantly, as if the person she was talking about who had cancer was not her.

But she still tried to suppress her smile and let her hands begin to tremble.

Because she remembered that her hands were shaking when she learned that she was dying in real life, she must not miss this detail when acting now.

"If something happens to me in the future, I might have to ask you guys to look after Su Shi. After all... you're my bandmates, and you're the kind of people who can become lifelong friends."

This is what band mates are like. As long as a band is formed for a second, this group of people will be involved with other members until death.

This is the curse of the band.

"Ah... Sister Sui will be fine, don't make it sound so serious, it won't be like that..."

Xiangzi tried to ease the grim atmosphere, but her efforts were in vain.

Chitose Noshiro just sat quietly, looking at Shoko with her red eyes without saying a word.

There was a faint flickering burning golden light inside.

"Maybe... After all, life and death are unpredictable."

"Let me tell you, Sushi's favorite foods are minestrone and ginseng chicken soup. She also drinks black tea often... She hates things like offal. She doesn't like the texture."

Qiansui said a lot, so much that Xiangzi was impressed by Qiansui's attentiveness.

At the same time, the sense of loss in her heart was becoming more and more serious.

She regards Su Shi as a very good friend, and also regards Qian Sui as a very respected elder.

Now my respected elder is actually telling me what to do after his death... It's hard to accept.

"Well, that's all I have to say. I've said it many times, but I still want to say it... Please take good care of little Su Shi for me. That child really needs company and can be very fragile at times... I'll leave it to you."

It's up to you, Shoko Toyokawa, her life and her future.

Although I bet that in the future you will definitely evolve to the point where you glare at each other whenever you meet, and a child who has regrets for the rest of his life will probably have no future at all.

Noshiro Chitose glanced at the time and saw that it was still a few hours before Su Shi might pass by here.

She had calculated it well, after all, Su Shi always went to Ring at similar times.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Qiansui finally led Xiangzi out of the house.

"Xiaoxiang, can you give me a hug... I've always wanted to have a child like you."

"Huh? Oh...Okay, Sister Sui."

Chitose sensed someone familiar approaching, so she threw her ponytail behind her and gently hugged Xiangzi.

"Can you call me mom? Xiao Xiangzi... This is my last wish."

Chitose closed her eyes. She seemed to have smelled a hint of Nagasaki Suyo in addition to Toyokawa Shoko's body fragrance.

"Is this…okay, Chitose-san?"

"Yes, I am here, my lovely little girl."

She heard hurried footsteps, not those of passers-by on the street.

When Chitose Noshiro opened her eyes again, she vaguely saw a strand of brown hair disappearing around the corner.

She calmly let go of Xiangzi. She no longer had any interest in the child she had already used up.

[Then comes their conflict. Little Sushi better be a little emotional towards me, or you'll regret it later.]

"Goodbye Xiangzi."

Qiansui left so quickly.

What is the most obvious characteristic of a child who lacks love?

Yes, the possessiveness after gaining love, and the fear of losing love.

"Cough cough cough."

After coughing a few times uncontrollably, Noshiro Chitose found herself becoming increasingly haggard through the glass mirror of a street shop.

Ch103. Su Shi is played around by applause

Every day after forming the band is hard.

Su Shi has to balance her studies with her core work in the band, but she enjoys every minute of the busy schedule.

She enjoys this kind of effort because she clearly realizes that the rewards will far outweigh her sweat.

"Hmmmm?~"

Rehearse, go on stage, and prove yourself.

Nagasaki Suyo has always felt uneasy. She cherishes every minute and every second with Chitose, but she always knows clearly that she has never given anything to Chitose Noshiro.

Until she heard her 6-year-old mother telling stories about her youth.

At the Yuqiu Music Festival that year, Chitose Mama led her group to challenge the Yuqiu group, but unfortunately lost in the end.

Su Shi imagined Chitose Noshiro sitting dejectedly in a chair and crying. This scene will be unforgettable for her forever.

At that moment she was thinking that if she could become a band girl, she would have to win it all.

Now that the opportunity to perform on stage with her friends is right in front of her, she has to consider whether this will be her only chance in her life.

It is Nagasaki Suyo’s responsibility to restore the glory of the bassist!

Make the best music so that her mother can be proud of her and moved by her... Su Shi hopes to receive praise from her mother after she succeeds.

She received little encouragement, and even less from her elders.

I feel excited when I think about how Chitose Noshiro will praise me.

Nagasaki Suyo narrowed her eyes and continued walking towards Ring where the band usually rehearsed.

"Chitose Mama?"

"Yes, I am here, my lovely little girl."

Eh? Wait, that sounds so familiar… What is that?

Su Shi felt a bad feeling in her heart, and she opened her eyes, letting her blue eyes widen.

She saw clearly...

Not far from her, two people were hugging each other in the crowd, calling each other "mother and daughter."

One is Toyokawa Shoko... and the other is...

"Mother?"

Huh? That's not right, is it?

It’s hard to describe how she feels right now, Nagasaki Suyo’s legs and feet are going weak.

What are they doing?

[Is Xiangzi trying to take my mother away?]

No...why would I have such an idea? It's ridiculous.

But what if?

Su Shi gritted his teeth and continued walking forward, but when he got closer to them, he didn't dare to go any further.

But...what if?

Didn't Xiangzi say that her mother was not in good health recently... Maybe she was trying to get some maternal love from someone else...

"Huh? So vicious... What was I thinking?"

Countless thoughts in his head were so chaotic that they began to attack each other, and Su Shi was unable to withstand the pressure from his brain for a while.

She looked at the alley not far away, turned around and ran towards it.

Toyokawa Shoko, Noshiro Chitose… Mom? Mother? Classmate? Best friend? Partner?

Why do these words, which should be beautiful, now have a strange color?

Su Shi found that the thoughts in her head almost made her sick, but it was the first time... no, it was the countless time that she felt that someone was trying to take her mother away. The experience was really unpleasant.

She leaned against the wall of the building, and the gray dust brushed against her back but she didn't notice it at all.

"Why do you call my mother 'Mom'? Don't you have a mother of your own?"

I finally found a mother and you want to snatch her from me... You were a very good person at the beginning.

Shoko Toyokawa…Shoko Toyokawa…Wait!

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly thought of something.

A face appeared in her mind, the face of someone she once knew but now had no contact with.

"Toyokawa Shoko... is she the same as the previous Haizuka Kyomoto? She was very good at the beginning, but later on..."

I started to want to steal the beauty from others.
