Chapter 216 And there won’t be any guests coming now…

The tips of Toyokawa Shoko's ears instantly flushed crimson, and her fingers gripping the project plan unconsciously tightened. She tilted her face slightly, trying to hide her burning cheeks, but the blush had already spread to her neck.

(Even without conditions, as long as Xia wants me to, I can do it anytime...)

Although she thought so in her heart, they had not yet become real lovers, so Toyokawa Shoko still did not dare to say this out loud.

Besides the conditions, there was actually another question lingering in her mind.

"Xia, you have to balance the activities of two bands, and you also have to agree to record a video with that woman because of me. Isn't that too much pressure?"

"Of course not." Sanjiao Chuxia gently held her hand and smiled softly, "Didn't I say it before? I'll give the rest of my life to Xiaoxiang. As long as Xiaoxiang needs me, I'm willing to do anything."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko's fingers trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears, peeking through her blue hair, were red and almost transparent. She subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Sanjiao Hatsuka gently gripped it.

"Stupid, idiot..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and her whole posture was broken by this sudden straight ball. "How can you say such words so easily..."

"But didn't Xiaoxiang tell me the same thing?" the boy retorted.

Sanjiao Hatsuka was referring to what Toyokawa Shoko said when she asked for his forgiveness when he first applied for a part-time job at Leblanc.

"That's because I'm serious. No matter what Xia wants me to do, I will..."

“So I’m serious about it.”

Although there was an element of his instigation in what Toyokawa Shoko said that time, given her personality, the fact that she could say such words meant that she had already made up her mind to do so.

Similarly, Sanka Hatsuka was serious when he said this, because he believed that Toyokawa Shoko would not make arbitrary requests.

Looking at his sincere and gentle eyes, Toyokawa Shoko's pale golden eyes trembled slightly. The distance between the two was so close that they could feel each other's breath. Sanjiao Hatsuka unconsciously leaned forward, and Toyokawa Shoko slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her cheeks.

"drop!"

The coffee machine suddenly emitted a sharp beep, startling Toyokawa Shoko so much that she flinched back, her lower back hitting the counter behind her. Sanjiao Hatsuka was also startled by the sudden noise, her hand trembling, and she accidentally knocked over the sugar jar next to her.

"Ouch..." Toyokawa Shoko covered her bruised waist, tears welling up in her eyes. She glared at the inappropriate coffee machine with shame and anger, as if she wanted to burn it through with her gaze.

Sanjiao Chuxia quickly straightened the sugar jar and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that even the coffee machine is jealous of us."

"Don't laugh!" Toyokawa Shoko glared at him fiercely, but with her red cheeks, it only looked cute.

(Sure enough, Xiaoxiang is still the best now.)

Looking at the shy girl in front of him, Sanjiao Hatsuxia couldn't help but think of her when she was still working at the amusement park. Although Toyokawa Shoko looked strong and independent at that time, she was too exclusive, like a curled-up hedgehog, equally hurting everyone who tried to get close to her.

Although the current Toyokawa Shoko seems to have simply returned to the time when [Crychic] was still there, her mentality of being able to face everything calmly is no longer comparable to the "soft and sticky Xiaoxiang" of that time.

Is there anyone in this world more perfect than the perfect Bai Xiang?

As for Brother Xiang, who I haven't mentioned for a long time? He is just an irrelevant person. My memory has been completely overshadowed by the lovely Xiangzi Toyokawa.

Thinking of this, Sanjiao Chuxia gently reached out to help her tidy up her hair which was a little messy due to the panic just now, and her fingertips accidentally brushed against her hot earlobe.

"How about...we continue?"

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko immediately jumped away like a frightened rabbit: "I, let's get back to business, about [Ave Mujica]."

"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoxiang." Sanjiao Chuxia smiled and retracted her hand, the warmth of her hair still lingering on her fingertips. "As for Miao Mengqin, when do you plan to talk to her? I can make time to go with you."

"Since we're confident we can successfully invite him, let's do it as soon as possible. How about the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and Personaction doesn't have practice scheduled."

Since we all have to go to school on weekdays, we don't have practice scheduled on Sundays so that everyone can have a full day of rest. Although summer vacation has begun, Sanjiao Chuxia still plans to keep this practice time.

"That's good."

As she said this, Toyokawa Shoko was about to put the plan away, but he stopped her with his hand.

Sanjiao Hatsuxia looked at Wakaba Mu's name on the project plan, and suddenly remembered the sudden and extremely passionate kiss in the practice room yesterday.

Whether it was Ruoye Mu's slightly cool fingertips, trembling eyelashes, or the words that sounded like a confession, "Because... it's summer", they all made his heart tighten.

"Come to think of it..." He forced himself to bring his thoughts back to the present, his fingertips lightly tapping Wakaba Mu's codename 'Mortis', his brows slightly furrowed beneath the mask, "What does the codename 'Cucumber' mean? It sounds a bit..."

"Death," Toyokawa Shoko replied calmly. "Mortis means 'death' in Latin."

The coffee shop suddenly fell silent, leaving only the faint sound of the air conditioner. Sanjiao Chuxia's fingers froze in mid-air, thinking of Ruoye Mu's always silent, almost invisible presence and his pale golden eyes that seemed to be devoid of emotion.

"Why... did you give the cucumber such a code name?"

"Because Mortis sounds like a common foreign name, and..." She suddenly gave a sly smile, "Doesn't 'death' sound very cool?"

Sanjiao Chuxia was speechless for a moment, and suddenly felt a little amused and helpless: "Just because of this?"

"Of course not only that." Toyokawa Shoko gently stroked Wakaba Mujica's name on the project plan. "I will incorporate each code name into the worldview of [Ave Mujica], and 'Mortis', which means death, is an indispensable part of it. Such an important code name, of course, must be entrusted to my half!"

"I see……"

After confirming that everything was fine, Shoko Toyokawa carefully put the plan and sheet music back into her bag.

"So, let's meet at the cafe near Tsuki no Mori at three o'clock the day after tomorrow. Don't forget."

"I remember that." He nodded. "So, now we've finished talking about Ave Mujica, right?"

"Well, there's nothing else to add for now."

Sanjiao Hatsuxia's fingers gently rested on the edge of the mask, a sly smile on the corner of her mouth: "Now...should we make up for what we didn't finish just now?"

Shoko Toyokawa's movements froze instantly, and the music score she had just arranged almost slipped from her hands.

"Right now, he's still talking in the store..."

"We're closed according to the time." He slowly took off his mask, gently placed it on the bar, and approached her step by step. "And there won't be any customers coming now."

Toyokawa Shoko instinctively stepped back, her back resting against the cold refrigerator door. Mikado Hatsuka placed one hand on her ear and gently lifted her chin with the other. Their breaths mingled, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee.

"Is it okay, Xiaoxiang?" His voice was lower than usual, with an alluring tenderness.

"Don't ask questions like this..."

After getting permission, Sanjiao Hatsuka smiled and slowly covered her soft lips. Toyokawa Shoko's fingers tightly grasped his collar, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

This kiss was more gentle than she had imagined, with the bitterness of coffee and the sweetness of milk. When Sanjiao Hatsuka gently held her lower lip, Toyokawa Shoko whimpered like a kitten and leaned softly into his arms.

ps: How could I do something like that to interrupt intentionally? It is normal to have some small episodes. As long as they are logical, they will be added immediately. Even if there is no chapter in this one, there will be one in the next one.

Chapter 217: This is all Xiaoxia's fault~

After the practice.

"Hai Ling, Xiao Lenai." Sanjiao Chuxia said to the two of them as she put her guitar into the guitar bag, "You two should go back first. Xiao Huanggua and I have something to discuss privately."

Hachiman Kairin glanced at him. Although she wanted to tell him that a romance within the team would likely affect practice and performances, she only sighed at Sanka Hatsuka's serious expression.

She knew that the other party was a sensible person and would not fall apart like other bands. This was also the reason why she turned a blind eye to Wakaba Mu's behavior and even gave him a little help occasionally.

As long as other members of Personaction don't have similar ideas, the band will remain stable.

"I know, don't be too late." Hachiman Kailing said lightly, dragging the struggling "wild cat" out of the practice room, and taking her stroller with her.

At this time, only Sanjiao Chuxia and Ruoye Mu were left in the bright practice room. With half the number of people gone, the space seemed to be much larger.

Sanjiao Hatsuka gently closed the door of the practice room. After confirming that the footsteps had faded away, she turned to look at Wakaba Mutsu who was sitting by the window.

"Cucumber." He took a deep breath, his fingers unconsciously stroking the bottle of mineral water. "Can I see her again? That's... your second personality."

Hearing this, Ruo Yemu's body stiffened for a moment. She lowered her head, and her light green hair fell gently from her shoulders.

"...Why?" Her voice seemed emotionless as usual.

Sanjiao Chuxia took a few steps closer and stopped half a meter away from her.

"I want to understand her... understand you guys." He paused. "Yesterday in the practice room, she seemed to have a lot more to say to me."

Wakaba Mu's fingers gripped the hem of her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The practice room was so quiet that the hum of the air conditioner could be heard.

(Xiao Mu, let me out~)

(……no.)

(Why?! Xiao Xia obviously wants to see me too!)

Ruoye Mu's brows furrowed slightly, as if arguing with the voice in her head. Sanjiao Chuxia noticed her strangeness and called out softly, "Little Cucumber?"

"Xia..." She finally raised her head, a complex light flashing in her light golden eyes, "Do you really... want to see him?"

"Yeah." Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded, "I want to know what kind of person she is, and...why she treated me like that."

It's not just the kiss yesterday, but also the active sleeping together and secretly wiping the gun with his feet.

Knowing that he was serious about this, Ruoye Mu took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. She slowly closed her eyes... No, before she could even close them, Ruoye Mu couldn't help but take over her body.

Her eyes were like magic, instantly changing from calm like a lake to lively like a stream.

"Xiao Xia~" Her voice suddenly became lively, and she pounced on Sanjiao Chuxia, "I can finally see you again!"

Sanjiao Chuxia was caught off guard by her and took a few steps back, her back pressed against the wall. The girl's body temperature shone through her thin dress, carrying a faint fragrance.

"Wait, wait." He frantically tried to pull Ruoye Mu away, but he touched her exposed shoulder and retracted his hand as if he had received an electric shock, "Let go..."

"No~no~" She clung to him tighter like a koala, rubbing her cheek against Sanjiao Chuxia's chest. "Just ask whatever you want to ask. If Xiaomu doesn't let me out next time, there won't be another chance like this..."

"..."

Although her tone was coquettish, he could hear a hint of sadness in it.

Feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms, Sanjiao Chuxia hesitated for a moment before finally gently placing his hand on her back. The air conditioning chilled her skin, and he could clearly feel her slightly trembling breathing.

"Well... let's put it this way." He sighed helplessly, "First of all, when did you start showing up?"

"Well... probably when Xiaomu was six years old."

"So early?" Sanjiao Chuxia was a little surprised. He thought that Ruo Yemu's second personality had only appeared recently because of family pressure or something like that.

"Yes, Xiaomu and I have been together since we were young." She nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Mu isn't good at communicating with outsiders, but as the daughter of a celebrity, she's always faced with similar situations, so I showed up.

So... I exist to protect Xiaomu. When Xiaomu encounters something difficult to deal with, I will come out to help her.

But after Xiangzi-chan came into being, there were very few places that needed me, so I haven’t appeared for a long time.”

"Then why..."

So why did you show up now?

Without Sanjiao Chuxia finishing his words, Ruoye Mu understood what he meant.

"This is all Xiaoxia's fault~"

"My fault?"

"Who made Xiao Xia suddenly burst into Xiao Mu's life?" She said, holding Sanjiao Chu Xia's arms tighter. "Just when Xiangzi was in trouble, she treated Xiao Mu so gently, played guitar with her, and even took her away from home. She captured Xiao Mu's heart so easily."

Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuxia felt his heart skip a beat. He looked down at the top of the girl's head, the sunlight filtering through the window dancing on her pale green hair.

"But I asked Little Cucumber before, and she said she didn't like me..."

"Idiot, how can you ask that?"

Her voice suddenly became louder, and she looked up at Sanjiao Chuxia, and their eyes met.

"Let's not talk about whether Xiaomu would subconsciously deny it because of shyness. Because of Xiaoxia's unclear relationship with Xiangzi at the time, Xiaomu voluntarily withdrew in order not to embarrass you.

But Xiaomu had finally decided to be content with the time he had with Xiaoxia, only to discover that you were actually with Chuhua-chan.

Under these multiple blows, I naturally reappeared.

Although Xiaomu denied it, she actually really liked being close to Xiaoxia, but she was too shy and wanted to give you to Xiangzi, so she kept suppressing herself.

As the conversation progressed, Ruoye Mu's eyes grew increasingly fiery, causing Sanjiao Chuxia to unconsciously hold her breath. He could clearly see his reflection in her pupils, and the unconcealable attachment.

"Xiao Mu can't deceive her own heart, so I will do everything for her that she wants to do but dares not do."
