The shining Shoko Toyokawa

What happened during those days?

Su Shi had doubts about this before, but judging from the results, one has to believe that Xiangzi chose to commit suicide because he was under too much pressure.

But now I think it’s not that simple.

"And did the aunt really die of a sudden illness? Did the man become an alcoholic because he knew his wife had not only had another man but also had a daughter?"

There are so many questions, but in the end, I still have to ask the drunkard,

Now the drunkard has run away to Damao again. I hope he doesn’t drink himself to death in the snow and ice, otherwise many of Su Shi’s questions will become unsolved cases.

After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Su Shi wanted to leave immediately, but the look in the eyes of the "woman" in front of him, who wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, softened Su Shi's heart.

"It's perhaps unfair to blame her for Xiangzi's death and to blame her for not telling me about Xiangzi..."

Su Shi knew that the reason Mu didn't say anything was that Xiangzi didn't allow her to say anything.

She and Xiangzi were childhood sweethearts, and Xiangzi was so kind to her.

It was only natural for her to help Xiangzi keep the secret.

Su Shi decided to comfort this poor guy who had nothing in his hands.

"I'm sorry," but she could no longer call this man Xiao Mu as before. "The day Xiangzi passed away, I said a lot of harsh words to you in the hospital.

Xiangzi’s death is not entirely your responsibility…”

"Eh?"

Although she was comforted, the girl with white blonde hair was surprised and disappointed. "Su Shi, aren't you here to kill me?"

Her eyes looked at Su Shi's right forearm, as if she knew that there was a weapon hidden there.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The flaxen-haired girl sighed. "At that time, I was just saying it in anger. You were right to keep Xiangzi a secret. If I were you, I would probably keep it a secret too."

Mu was silent for a long time.

"……is that so?"

She still had that expression as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Yes, that's right," Su Shi nodded reluctantly and gently hugged the doll-like girl, "Xiao... Mu, you're not wrong."

This time, Mu was in a daze for a longer time.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, she finally realized that she was being hugged by Su Shi.

So, she immediately ran to the wardrobe, opened it suddenly, and pulled out the sundries and clothes. In the depths of the wardrobe, she found a beautiful gift box.

"This is for you,"

He handed it to Su Shi who looked puzzled.

"Birthday present, last year..., I wanted to give Su Shi a birthday present,"

There was no expression on her face.

Su Shi felt that the white-blonde girl seemed a little nervous.

"……Thank you,"

After struggling for a while, she finally decided to accept Mu's birthday gift. "It's all in the past, it's all in the past..."

After going through so many things, Su Shi more or less understood that, 'As long as one is alive, there is nothing that cannot be overcome...'

"That's great."

"!?"

'What's so nice? Is it so nice of me to accept your gift?!'

Su Shi was a little surprised.

Seeing her expression, those who were familiar with her would come to only one conclusion—

She is laughing!

Chapter 123: The Kingdom of Muhe Xiangzi

"What do you mean?"

Looking at her smile, Su Shi felt inexplicably irritated.

Mu could understand why Su Shi was being gentle to him now.

Although somewhat sad, Mu was still happy for her.

"Su Shi-ta, finally..."

"Yoga da ne," (That's great)

Mu repeated his words, then smiled and said, "Su Shi, it's great that you've found a new family."

"!!!"

Su Shi clenched his fists.

That inexplicable irritability, it turns out, comes from this...

"The only thing I don't want to hear is Xiao Mu talking like this,"

Su Shi lowered his head, the emotion in his voice was hard to understand.

She regarded everyone in CRYCHIC as her family from the bottom of her heart. CRYCHIC had no choice but to disband. Xiangzi's "departure" made her heartbroken, but she could do nothing about it.

She is like a single mother whose husband divorced her because he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

After that, I met a very good person, and because of fate, we were together.

But what she missed most in her heart was her husband who had treated her well and her happy family.

Finally, her daughter told her——

"That's great, Mom, you've found a new family."

Finding a new family means that Su Shi has given up the home in her heart.

How should one smile, how should one smile to one's 'daughter'?

"This is no longer necessary."

Her voice was cold. She stuffed the birthday gift Mu had given her back into her arms, then turned and left.

Looking at the gift box in her arms, Mu's pupils trembled. When she looked up, the flaxen-haired girl was nowhere to be found in the room...

"..."

"You can't do this, Xiao Mu,"

In the room, or more precisely, in the floor-length mirror, a girl with aqua blue hair appeared. "Don't you have a lot to say to Su Shi-san? Be brave, I am always with you."

"...Xiao Xiang,"

Mu walked to the mirror with a 'grievance'. Xiangzi in the mirror world gently stroked the face of the doll girl.

"Xiao Mu, you have to be brave. Go after her before she gets far away."

The girl outside the mirror shook her head gently, "Xiaoxiang, you are here,"

She put away her sad expression and smiled again, "Having you, Xiaoxiang, is enough for me. When will you come to take my body away?"

"When you are happiest,"

"Will Xiaoxiang take my body when I am happiest?"

The doll stared at her in the mirror, its golden eyes gleaming with...anticipation.

Looking at her like this, the aqua-blue-haired girl in the mirror was inexplicably emotional. She gently stroked her and said seriously, "I will. I will take away Xiao Mu's life and body, and then...

Live happier than anyone else."

…………

……

“Why…you say it’s so good!?”

In a nearby park, Su Shi sat on a bench with a frown on his face.

In fact, what Su Shi hoped to hear from Mu was——

'Why are you so happy?'

'Have you forgotten Xiangzi?'

or;

'I hate you!'

Such accusatory words.

She often wondered, is it really okay for her to be so happy?

Are you worthy of your former family and Xiaoxiang?

Everyone said she was right, but Su Shi still couldn't let go.

I can't let go of the memories of CRYCHIC, nor can I let go of my days as a driver...

"You really haven't changed at all, Xiao Mu!"

Su Shi hit the bench with such force that it made a loud noise.

Perhaps frightened by the loud noise, a subtle sound came from the square green belt behind the chair.

"Who is there?!"

Su Shi shouted loudly, but out of the corner of his eyes he was already looking for a way to escape.

Although she was not unable to beat an adult male, God knew whether the other party had a weapon in his hand.

Su Shi made up his mind to run away after figuring out the situation.

"ah!"

"Huh?" Su Shi thought the exclamation from behind the green belt sounded familiar. "I hear it often..."

She quietly stepped down,

Going around to the green trees that were trimmed into a square shape from the back,

Sure enough, a touch of pink is faintly visible among the green leaves.

Su Shi was speechless, she already knew who that person was.

"Xia Ya, why are you here?"

Immediately, she pretended to be surprised and shouted,

"Xia Ya? Why is Xia Ya here?!"

As expected, the pink-haired fool in the bush took the bait immediately, stood up suddenly, and looked around for the blonde girl.

When she saw Su Shi’s dark face, she realized that she had been tricked and shouted, “Su Shi, you plotted against me!”

The flaxen-haired girl originally intended to comfort and treat the pink-haired girl gently because of what happened to her.

But she successfully used her 'strength' to make Su Shi give up this 'kind' idea.

"Why didn't you follow me without saying anything?"

"Hehe," the pink-haired girl scratched her head, "I wasn't following Su Shi at all? My home is nearby, I just...just wanted to look for rocks here!"

She quickly bent down to search, and she actually found a beautiful rain flower stone.

Although during this process, I was frightened by the insects on the leaves and screamed,

"How about it, beautiful, right?!"

Aiyin proudly held up the rain flower stone, with a proud expression, as if she had won a gold medal in the Olympics.

"Xiao Deng must like this very much..."

"Uh…"

Seeing that Su Shi hadn't spoken, Ai Yin finally panicked, "I called Su Shi-san just now, but you didn't notice, so I..."
