MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

"This……"

Xiangzi, feeling extremely upset, felt guilty and flustered when he saw Yui's gaze. He lowered his head to avoid direct eye contact.

"Xianjuan-kun, are you asking this...about me?"

"Yeah." Xian Juanwei said slowly:

"After learning about your father's situation through the Metropolitan Police Department, I thought that although the facts of the fraud case are irreversible, at least the suspects can be apprehended and dealt with. This will give you some peace of mind. After all, with the efficiency of the Japanese police, once the suspects flee the country, it can be assumed that they will remain at large for the rest of their lives."

"So, I had no choice but to use the power of the Genjumaki family. When I was finally sorting out the deceased's social connections, I realized that even Su Shi was implicated by your father... Otherwise, I wouldn't have the heart to pay attention to every person who resigned."

"Yes, that's it..." Shoko Toyokawa's voice trembled a little.

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, holding onto the table, and bowed deeply to Genmaki Yui with the courteous manner that had become her habit:

"I'm sorry, Genmaki-kun, for causing you trouble with my affairs... Thank you very much for your assistance."

Xian Juanwei shook his head, slapped the table with his hand and stood up.

"Don't tell me you're sorry."

"Save that for Nagasaki Suyo!"

"She's at the funeral home right now. I'm not asking you to apologize, but at least something like this happened that cost her her life. You should go and explain everything to her."

"I don't want the friend I thought was kind when I was little to be someone who now thinks other people's lives aren't worth even a single explanation from me."

"This is your ultimatum. If you choose to act so condescendingly and disregard the feelings of others, Xiangzi, I will arrange for reporters to film a film titled 'The Scammed Real Estate President, the Decadent Middle-Aged Alcoholic' and have it streamed a billion times on YouTube and TikTok."

Shoko Toyokawa's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously grabbed her left arm with her right hand. She took two steps back, knocking over the chair, and staggered to steady herself.

With her head lowered deeply, Toyokawa Shoko said nothing, but just kept this ostrich-like posture to avoid the reality of being asked to meet the person she had been avoiding.

"Saki..."

Wakaba Mutsu looked at Toyokawa Shoko's embarrassment, whispering her name, and at the same time cast a blank look at Genmaki Yui with a hint of seeking help.

But this time, Genjumaki Wei did not respond to her, but just kept waiting for Toyokawa Shoko's response.

There was a full two minutes of silence. Xianjuan only saw that Toyokawa Shoko neither dared to take a step to make a choice nor to simply run away, so he walked up to her with a stern face and grabbed her wrist directly.

"I don't want to...see her."

When Toyokawa Shoko was grabbed and felt the pull on her wrist, her body trembled, as if she had suddenly regained her ability to speak. She shook her head repeatedly and her twin ponytails swung so hard that they almost flew up.

"No, no... please, don't force me to see her."

"Su Shi... I'll unblock her and talk to her on Line."

"But I don't want to see her. Don't let her see me."

Xianjuan Wei grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's wrist and stared at Shoko's golden eyes that seemed half extinguished.

"Xiangzi, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't you understand, Xianjuan-kun? The time you caught me, didn't you know how embarrassing I looked?!"

"You're not working in customer service delivering newspapers anymore."

"It's no different in front of Nagasaki Suze! If I want to explain to her, I have to tell her everything about my father's lifelong shame and the things I've been hiding from everyone except Xiaomu!"

Genmaki Yui shook his head at Toyokawa Shoko and asked:

"Don't I know about your affairs? What does it matter? Do you think I will look down on you, or will Su Shi feel superior to you because of this?"

"How can Xianjuan-kun and Sushi be the same!"

Toyokawa Shoko's chest heaved violently, and she lowered her head and sobbed in a voice of self-abandonment:

"You still say I'm high and mighty, but it's obviously Genjumaki-kun who's the most arrogant one since we were little!"

"To you, there's no difference between the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family and the customer service representative for the newspaper delivery service, right? You don't care about other people's backgrounds or their opinions... Apart from their hearts, I don't know how much difference there is in your eyes for other people."

"But Nagasaki Suyo, Genmaki-kun wants me to admit to her personally that I, the one who invited her to form a band, who thought I could shoulder their future, who thought I could overcome any difficulties, who made unrealistic promises of a shared destiny... have I become such a miserable person? Why am I telling her all this? Am I asking her to pity me?"

"No matter what time I am, Genjumaki-kun can always look so superior. After all, if we hadn't met and become friends by chance when we were children, even my grandfather would have had to make an appointment for a long time to meet you, right?"

"But Sushi is different from you! I, the one who made her look at us with longing for our community, am I going to beg you to save me in front of her? I don't want to... shatter that last beautiful memory in front of her with my own hands."

Chapter 130 Are You Still Worthy of Being a Human?

"Good memories? If you're talking about static memories, they never change. If you're talking about dynamic perceptions, that kind of thing would have died a long time ago."

Xian Juanwei tilted his head and curled his lips:

"You know, Nagasaki Suyo has been worried about what happened in your family and has been harassing Xiaomu a lot."

Ruoye Mu turned his head to the side upon hearing this and continued to remain silent.

Xianjuan Wei looked at Xiangzi's golden eyes, which had dimmed a bit, and said in a deep voice:

"crychic... If you don't count Xiaomu, after the disbandment, it was only Sushi who kept worrying about you. But Xiangzi, how did you respond to her feelings? I understand that you didn't want her to see you in such a miserable state, but at least she knows that you're hurting her by doing this, right?"

Shoko Toyokawa lowered her head and tilted it slightly to the side, forming an awkward angle.

"I feel sorry for her in this matter, but I really don't know how to face her..."

"So you blocked her?"

"Have you ever experienced the feeling of someone sending hundreds of messages to you? Seeing that I read the previous messages but didn't reply, she should know that I don't want to reply to her. But even so, she still keeps... What can I do? Blocking or deleting her would probably hurt her even more..."

Toyokawa Shoko exhaled heavily, closed her eyes and said:

"Su Shi is worried about me, that's true...but more importantly, she herself misses the atmosphere of crychic back then..."

"What's wrong with that?!"

Xianjuan Wei used a little more strength in the hand that was holding Toyokawa Shoko's wrist, and even his eyes showed a rare hint of annoyance.

There are not many people who can meet all three of these conditions at the same time: to provoke him in person, to really make him angry, and to make him reluctant to sink into Tokyo Bay.

"It hurts! Don't do this!" Shoko Toyokawa cried.

"Nagasaki Suyo isn't your father or mother. Shouldn't you prioritize your own feelings when interacting with others? Isn't that what Xiangzi, who always breathes on people who care about you, does?!"

"Besides, even parents don't necessarily put their children before themselves, and always consider their children first and make sacrifices for them. Why do you demand this of Su Shi, and use her not putting me first as an excuse for yourself?"

"Has your biological father worried about you even half as much as Su Shi did this past year?"

Xiangzi's eyes suddenly widened and he bit his lips as if a painful spot had been touched.

Ruoye Mu lowered her head. She felt that her family had also been named.

"Do you expect others to put you first and consider you more important than themselves? Otherwise, even though they are clearly worried about you, you will still criticize them for only thinking about themselves?"

"If I don't give you all my love, it means I don't love you at all. Should I be blamed?"

"Xiangzi, who thinks so, saying that you are high and mighty is not slander at all."

The hand that was tightly gripping Toyokawa Shoko's wrist did not loosen its grip at all, but although Shoko's eyes were filled with tears as she tilted her head back, she tried hard not to make a sound.

But only three or five seconds later, Genjumaki Wei saw the crystal liquid flowing down from the corner of Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, leaving a trace of tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Su Shi, but..."

Toyokawa Shoko choked and tried to shake off Genmaki Yui's hand, but when she failed, she had to use her other free hand to wipe her eyes.

"But I'm not the same person I was back then! Even I'm frozen, how can I have the energy to warm others?"

"That little bit of self-respect I have left!"

"If even this is taken away from me, can I still be called a human being?"

"I'm sorry... Xiao Mu clearly told me that he hated me for thinking about myself all the time..."

Xian Juanwei sighed, but his tone remained calm:

“I can’t warm others’ hearts, but at least I can avoid hurting them.”

"Su Shi never meant to deprive you of your self-esteem. She knew you were shivering from the cold, and she just wanted to warm you up, just like you used to treat others."

"Accepting other people's kindness means being deprived of dignity, so should I breathe on them? Xiangzi, you've shown kindness to so many people before, you really deserve it."

Shoko Toyokawa just continued to use the back of her hand to cover her tears, sobbing without saying a word.

Xian Juanwei gave her a minute, and seeing that she kept her head down and didn't dare to speak, he simply pulled her open the door and half-dragged and half-pulled her forward in the corridor.

She didn't continue to refute probably because she was out of breath. If you want her to do something now, just drag her to do it. She wouldn't dare to do anything.

In other words, it means you deserve forced love.

Feeling the emptiness of the corridor, Toyokawa Shoko finally spoke again in a panic:

"Xianjuan-kun, let me go...if someone sees us..."

Xian Juanwei said nothing, but just pointed at the men in black who were guarding the areas after clearing them.

"I can walk by myself..."

"Until you go and explain things to Su Shi, I don't trust your credibility."

Wakaba Mu followed closely with some concern, watching Xianjuan Wei drag Toyokawa Shoko into the employee elevator, and then dragged her all the way from the employee passage to the underground parking lot.

In the parking lot, the man in black who was on standby opened the car door, and Xianjuanwei immediately stuffed Xiangzi, who still needed him to pull some effort along the way, into the car.

Xian Juanwei reached out to fasten Xiangzi's seat belt. After Ruo Yemu was seated, the Maybach started and drove towards the funeral home.

Shoko Toyokawa, who had been stomping her feet hard on the ground to symbolically resist all the way, lowered her head as if accepting her fate, as if the last layer of her protection had been stripped off during her resistance, after being pushed into the car by Yui Genmaki and fastened her seat belt.

There was no verbal protest or attempt to unbuckle the seatbelt. Even their eyes avoided showing any sign of even the slightest resistance.

The silence in the car lasted for more than ten minutes. Ruo Yemu's eyes kept wandering between his childhood sweetheart and fiancé, appearing anxious, uneasy, confused and helpless.

Ruoye Mu was afraid of saying something wrong, so he didn't dare to say a word.

When the Maybach was waiting for the red light at an intersection, Toyokawa Shoko, who had been keeping her head down, asked in a voice so soft as if afraid of being heard:

"Mr. Xianjuan, can she still forgive me?"

"..."

"Am I still worthy of being a human now, even though I overestimated my own abilities and aspired to be their god?"

"..."

"Just now... I didn't dare admit that I was doing something extreme and hurtful to others. I've always known it. But I was always afraid that if I admitted it, I would hate myself so much that I wouldn't even have the courage to continue."

Xianjuan Wei raised his arms and placed them on the edge of the bed, exhaled a little heavily, and continued to look at Toyokawa Shoko.

"I'm sorry, Genjumaki-kun, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I was once admired by you when I was little, but now I have become like this."

"Can I be forgiven? Do I still have the qualifications to be a human being? Do I disappoint others? Don't ask me. Let Nagasaki Suyo give you the answer."

"Genmaki-kun, the me who was once admired by others, was it Toyokawa or Shoko?"

"Xiangzi is still admired by people now."

"The more I think back to those days when I seemed to be omnipotent, the more I hate my current powerless self. Then I hate myself more and more, and I am more and more afraid to face Su Shi and others who remind me of those days..."

"As long as you keep your head down and return to the Toyokawa family, all problems except your father's will be solved."

"Haha, how is that possible?"

Xiangzi shook his head and looked at the rain streaks on the car window left by the drizzle that began to fall outside:

"Mr. Xianjuan, am I... still worthy of being your friend?"

He made a "tsk" sound and looked outside the car:

"Who do you think I am?"

"I am the heir of the Genjumaki family."

"If I didn't consider you a friend, I wouldn't be interested in wasting so much time with you."

"Do you know, Xiangzi?"

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head in confusion, waiting for Genmaki Yui to continue asking questions.

"If you had been more stubborn just now... it would have been very disappointing. I would probably have experienced the feeling of losing a friend for the first time."

When the Maybach stopped steadily in the funeral home's parking lot, as if to show her determination, Shoko Toyokawa was the first to unbuckle her seat belt and get out of the car.

As if with great determination, Toyokawa Shoko kept walking in front of Genmaki Yui and Wakaba Mutsushi until they arrived at the hall of the funeral home.

After standing there for three seconds, Toyokawa Shoko looked back with some hesitation:

"Mr. Xianjuan, how do we get to the Sushi Road?"
