I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

They are people who can be loved and who can return the love they receive.

"Sister, I still want to hear your school stories. You never tell me much, which makes me feel itchy."

"There's not much to say about school stories, but I remembered a story about a certain Shiina idiot who sneaked to Haneda for lunch during lunch break and didn't have time to go back to class, so he skipped school and hid in the astronomy club for the whole afternoon."

"Eh?"

Kyomoto Haizuka blinked in confusion.

“It seems like a lot of trash indeed.”

...... ...... ......

Ch187. Sushi: Toyokawa-san, is there something wrong?

The pleasant and relaxing weekend time slipped away in the blink of an eye.

On Monday morning, Xiangzi went to school with Chitose as usual, but Xiangzi kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Well, all little girls are like this, too embarrassed to speak up.

But Chitose liked to see the shy and regretful expression on the little girl's face. That expression—

It’s just too delicious and sweet.

"Xiao Sui, why are you smacking your lips? Are you hungry? I have... little penguin gummy candies."

Deng carefully took out a slightly melted strawberry-flavored candy from his pocket, and Chitose took a bite without hesitation.

"It's delicious. The gummy candy melted by Xiao Deng is almost as delicious as Xiao Deng."

Chitose was more looking forward to Takamatsu Touma's reaction than the candy.

Chitose Noshiro firmly believed that Takamatsu Touma would give her a reaction that was a hundred times sweeter than candy.

"Hmm!" Her pretty face turned red. Deng just couldn't stand being teased. Her purity and innocence were what Chitose Noshiro needed to protect.

The hourly bell rang slowly, and when Deng and Chitose came down from the Astronomy Club, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Xi is catching up on his notes today, so he will come a little later than usual. That is why Chitose and Deng spent half an hour in the Astronomy Club sorting out the literary documents left by their predecessors.

"One of the seniors said that if there are only two people in the astronomy club, we should remember to wear leggings. What does that mean?"

"Huh? I, I don't know."

Deng was waiting for me in confusion, shaking his head. Qiansui was still thinking about his recent discovery.

"Someone even wrote that if there are four or five people in the astronomy club doing mysterious things, it's best not to push the door to enter the club, otherwise you might be forced to join... What's the point of that?"

"Huh? I don't know either."

For the first time, Deng discovered that his information reserves were so meager.

She secretly vowed to study the various notes left by her seniors and learn more to answer Noshiro Chitose's doubts!

"Excuse me, Takamatsu-san. I need to talk to Noshiro-san privately about something."

Suddenly, a little blue-haired creature jumped out from the corner of the stairs. With the help of my peripheral vision, I could see that it was Shoko Toyokawa.

[Xiangzi? Here he comes again...]

"Eh? Is there something wrong? Xiao Deng, go out of the school gate and find Li Xi first. I'll chat with Fengchuan and come back soon."

"Uh-huh!"

Deng was sensible and didn't ask anything. She walked away obediently.

Suddenly, only Xiangzi and Chitose were left in the empty club activity building.

"Xiao Xiangzi, what's the matter with you looking for me today?"

As usual, Chitose Noshiro behaved harmlessly, with her hands behind her back, and she circled around Xiangzi like a dancing butterfly.

"I…"

Covering her arms at a loss, Toyokawa Shoko was confused for a long time but really didn't know how to apologize for her rudeness a few days ago.

[I've been rehearsing this in my mind so many times these past few days, how could this happen?]

Could it be that I really am that kind of super soft and sticky fish?

The member activity building, the atrium, the school gate, and the street outside the school gate.

Xiangzi walked out of Yuqiu with Chitose hesitantly, but she still didn't dare to speak.

She was like a child who had done something wrong and was unable to speak out for some reason that no one cared about.

[If only someone could help me at this time, if only someone could give me a push...]

Please! Anyone can help me!

"Hey! Here, here! Wait for me!"

Whose voice is this? It sounds so familiar. Is it the little angel sent by God?

Feeling something was wrong, Shoko Toyokawa turned her head along with Chitose, but the white-haired beauty beside her had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end.

She seems to have gotten a hold of herself? What a... badass.

Xiangzi was troubled by complicated thoughts, but when she saw clearly who was coming behind her, her troubles became even greater.

The girl with neatly combed brown hair and smiling blue eyes that can be seen from afar is gradually approaching us. You are—

"Nagasaki Suyo? I thought I had explained everything to you last time, so I didn't elaborate on it online. I also asked Mu to tell you, please don't bother me anymore. Why are you still..."

Xiangzi instantly exploded, all kinds of anxiety and irritation made her blurt out sharp words, but...

After approaching them, Nagasaki Suyo directly ignored her and kept sticking to Chitose. Xiangzi just watched them get close in the wind, at a loss.

"I…"

Su Shi still had no intention of paying attention to her, and didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eye from beginning to end.

This is more like disregard than neglect.

Standing there in a daze, Shoko Toyokawa felt so embarrassed.

"Eh? Fengchuan, you're here too, what a coincidence."

Finally, at Qiansui's signal, Su Shi reluctantly turned his head.

To be honest, she now has a stress reaction to the words "Toyokawa", "Shoko", and "Toyokawa Shoko".

In her dream, the man who caused her to be unable to take care of her daughter, causing her to regret for the rest of her life, was Toyokawa. In her dream, the man who had become a nightmare and tortured her for half her life was Shoko. In reality, the man who had promised her friendship but then abandoned her was Toyokawa Shoko...

The sufferings of the past can be put aside for now, but if this guy still wants to destroy the "lifetime" between her and Chitose, Su Shi will definitely not let Xiangzi go easily.

"I...I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

First it was Deng, then it was Su Shi... Xiangzi found that her former best friends had gradually drifted away from her, but... this was all her own choice.

[Why am I so sad? I'm so heartbroken. Have I done too many wrong things?]

Run away, escape, run away!

These were the only options left in Xiangzi's mind, and her legs had already taken steps involuntarily.

The wind whistling in my ears, the blurry images before my eyes, the school uniform I was wearing that didn't belong to Tsuki no Mori...

Finally, Xiangzi ran away, leaving Sushi holding Qiansui's arm and staying there.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she so anxious?"

There was no extra emotion flashing in Su Shi's pupils. She looked at Qiansui, and there was only Qiansui in her eyes.

"Maybe she's going to do something she wants to do. Let's go, Su Shi. Xiao Deng and Li Xi are still waiting for us up ahead. We can't keep them waiting for too long."

"Okay~"

There were not many students on the way home from school, and Chitose and Sushi gradually disappeared at the school gate.

After they had completely left, Shoko Toyokawa poked her head out from the side of a building.

She swore that she must look extremely embarrassed now.

That's the way it is.

...... ...... ......

Small brain hole:

Chitose Noshiro: Haha, Xiaoxiang, you actually have the courage to click on the video I sent you. You are really brave. I only recently found out that you have two childhood sweethearts.

It turns out that they only unfold like this in your place, but they are completely different in my place! If you have a strong ability to accept it, please click on the new video I posted below.

Ch188. This is simply the best place to commit a crime

Where did Shoko Toyokawa go that afternoon?

No one knows, but Chitose will often recall the way Xiangzi fled.

Will tears well up in her eyes, will sadness ripple through her eyes? Or will she feel regret over and over again, yet have to grit her teeth and convince herself otherwise?

After a quick coffee together in the afternoon, Chitose prepared to go home.

"See you tomorrow, Xiao Deng, remember to review your notes carefully. Do you have any exams soon?"

"And you, Lixi, stop snickering. You're the one who needs to learn the most here! You're the one who needs practice the most."

When Li Xi and Deng left, only Su Shi followed Qiansui closely.

The corners of Qiansui's mouth trembled a few times.

She couldn't help but think of the conversation between Su Shi and Xiangzi an hour or two ago.

Well... it seems that he is much more normal than I thought. It seems that as long as he has friends and his emotional needs are met, Su Shi can be a normal and good child.

"Xiao Sushi, aren't you going home?"

"Mom is on a business trip today, so she's lonely back home. Can I stay at Xiaosui's house?"

Chitose noticed that Nagasaki Suyo's expression suddenly became strange when she talked about her mother.

She would never know how terrible Su Shi's expression was when she came home that day and saw a table full of vegetarian dishes and ginseng chicken soup.

"Uh..." Su Shi couldn't take it anymore. She didn't dare to continue recalling. She was afraid that she would really vomit.

"Of course, but Auntie is in great health. She was just hospitalized a few days ago and she's already back to work today. You're working too hard, aren't you?"

Sister Nagasaki, you are simply superman.

"Ahem, yes, yes, mother has always been a hard-working person. She has worked hard over the years."

Su Shi tried her best to mobilize her wisdom. She didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. If she continued, she would be exposed sooner or later.

"Xiao Sui, how about I tell you something interesting my mother told me? She said that a few years ago, a big fool was defrauded of 16.8 billion yen. He..."

……

Tonight's dinner is bean soup with fragrant roast veal. Su Shi said she doesn't want to eat vegetables at all now, and then said that eating vegetables will reduce cardiopulmonary function.

Well... as long as she is happy, she paid for the ingredients and seasonings anyway.

Su Shi has always been a generous and wealthy mother-like character, although many times she is much more worthless than she appears.

"Is dinner delicious?"

After dinner, the three of them were huddled together on the sofa, staring at the screen. Chitose chose a small cotton blanket for each of them to cover themselves with, and she said to Kyomoto while choosing a movie.

"good to eat!"

Kyomoto likes watching movies with his sister the most, especially horror movies, because she herself is not scared, but her sister always gets scared, and whenever her sister gets scared, he will go to comfort her.

It’s a pity that my sister rarely chooses to watch movies with horror elements. She is such a stupid woman who doesn’t understand romance.

"That was made by Sushi-chan. How would you rate Sushi-chan's craftsmanship?"

"Ninety points!"

Nagasaki Suyo was attracted by the conversation between the two sisters. She raised her head slightly from Chitose's shoulder and looked curiously at Kyomoto who was sitting on the other side of Chitose.

"Then why isn't it a perfect score?"

"Because it wasn't made by my sister, I can only give it 90 out of 10, no more! If it was made by my sister, I would have given it extra points!"
