At home, I don't like to wear shoes; I prefer to run around barefoot.

At first, Bai Qiu felt a little helpless, but after thinking about it, she realized it wasn't a big deal and let it go.

Anyway, the floors at home are pretty clean, as long as Motish doesn't catch a cold.

"Hmm...it's alright," Mortis replied, counting on her fingers.

"Then you can rest for a while, or continue practicing. I'll go cook," Bai Qiu said.

Since Su Shi has club activities today, he must be quite tired when he gets back, so Bai Qiu decided that he would cook for him today.

"Then I want to cook with you."

"Okay, Xiao Mo, what would you like to eat?"

"Isn't it a cucumber?"

After some time, Bai Qiu had almost finished cooking the dishes and the rice.

But Su Shi still hasn't returned.

Bai Qiu felt something was off.

In the past, even if Su Shi went to participate in the brass band practice, she could usually come back before dinner.

Given Su Shi's personality, even if there were special circumstances today, he should have found an opportunity to send him a message in the middle of the day to avoid making him worry, but this time he didn't say anything.

Without waiting any longer, Bai Qiu took out her phone and called Su Shi, but no one answered.

Is your phone out of battery?

Bai Qiu thought to herself with some confusion and sent a few more messages to Su Shi.

Although I don't have any particularly bad premonition.

But Su Shi hadn't returned so late, nor had she replied to any messages. Bai Qiu glanced at the rain outside the French windows and was still worried. He decided to go to the Moon Forest after all.

"Xiao Mo, if you're hungry, eat first. I'll go to Moon Forest to find Su Shi."

"Bai Qiu, I'll go with you."

Metis stood up, wanting to go with her.

Bai Qiu shook her head and smiled at her, "It's raining, I can go by myself."

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

As she spoke, Bai Qiu quickly put on her shoes, picked up her umbrella, and opened the door...

The wind and rain at the dock are much stronger than in the city.

The torrential rain pounded on the sea, only to be swallowed up and become part of it.

The sea breeze howled, whipping up waves that crashed violently against the boats moored on the shore, sending sprays of water flying high.

The workers at the dock ahead, all wearing dark raincoats, were moving in and out of the warehouse, deftly carrying goods despite the wind and rain.

The work needs to be completed before the storm arrives.

About a few dozen meters away, Nagasaki Motoyo sat under a small newsstand, looking somewhat out of place.

Su Shi wasn't foolish enough to stand in the rain and get soaked.

But the cessation of tabloid coverage only provided temporary shelter; the rain would still be blown in by the wind.

But Nagasaki Motoyo felt that this actually made her more energetic.

With her tears stopped, Su Shi looked beyond the railing at the boundless sea, lost in thought.

At that moment, a dockworker suddenly stopped and stood still, looking in the direction of Nagasaki Motoyo.

This worker was Kiyoshi Toyokawa.

As Bai Qiu said, as long as he steps out of his home to find a job, he can easily find one that can support him. So, Toyokawa Kiyoko is currently working as a dockworker as a temporary job.

This kind of strenuous physical work was really not good for his back, which was already a middle-aged man who had been sitting in an office for long periods of time, had been drinking heavily for more than half a year, and was getting on in years.

Now, Toyokawa Kiyoko has some doubts.

That child over there looks like Xiangzi's friend?

Before he was kicked out of the Toyokawa family, and when Shoko was still attending school in Tsukimori, Shoko had shown him pictures of Crychic.

Therefore, Kiyotaka Toyokawa had some impression of what the five members of Crychic looked like, but not much.

So he wasn't very sure.

In this awful weather, it's a bit strange to sit there all alone.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi thought to himself.

"Hey, Toyokawa! What are you doing? Don't slack off, or the supervisor will dock your pay if he sees you."

"Come help me lift this box, it's so heavy."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi jumped up and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

However, taking advantage of this brief moment, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket and snapped a picture of Nagasaki Motoyo not far away.

It was sent to Bai Qiu, along with a message and location.

[Bai Qiujun, this girl looks like a friend of Xiangzi's from his old band? Do you know her? I've seen her sitting there alone for a while, and her expression doesn't seem right; it's a little worrying.]

If you are Xiangzi's friend, could you please pass on this message to Xiangzi and inform her parents? If it's me who made the mistake, then I apologize for bothering you!

Xiangzi blocked me, so you're the only one I can contact.

Toyokawa Kiyoko added a helpless emoji and sighed helplessly.

"Toyokawa, why aren't you here yet?"

"I'm coming!"

Outside Tsukimori Academy.

Bai Qiu's complexion was not good.

The gate to Moon Forest was locked, even though he was able to climb in, despite the fact that the top of the more than 3-meter-high iron gate was covered with spikes.

But he just asked the security guard at the Moon Forest gatehouse, and the guard said that the club activities had ended and the students had all left.

Bai Qiu asked a few more students who left late, but didn't get any useful information.

Where did Su Shi go?

Bai Qiu thought with worry.

Just then, the phone rang several times in a row. Bai Qiu hurriedly looked at the phone, thinking that Su Shi had finally replied.

However, a quick glance at the news of Toyokawa Kiyoshi's accusation revealed...

Bai Qiu's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped the taxi that had brought him there, which was about to drive away.

"Tokyo Bay, XX Pier! Quickly!"

Chapter 276 Bai Qiu: Su Shi is my wife!

Tokyo Bay, XX Pier.

Thanks to the power of money, the driver was very efficient. What would normally be an hour's drive took less than half an hour for the driver to safely deliver Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu quickly got out of the car and ran towards the location reported by Feng Chuanqing, not even bothering to open her umbrella.

Perhaps because of the rain and the distance between them, the photo that Toyokawa Kiyoko sent to Haku was not very clear; in fact, it was a bit blurry.

But even so.

She had long, flaxen hair and wore a green dress reminiscent of the Moon Forest.

Even from just a blurry outline, Bai Qiu could tell that the person in the photo was Su Shi.

He wouldn't mistake her; he was very familiar with Su Shi's figure because he saw her many times a day.

The wind and rain lashed at Bai Qiu, but they could not cool her anxious heart.

What's wrong with Suze? Why did she come to the Tokyo Bay pier all by herself, with such a melancholy expression on her face?

Bai Qiu's biggest worry right now is whether Su Shi might do something rash.

no, I can not.

Bai Qiu told himself that he understood Su Shi's personality; Su Shi wasn't the kind of extreme girl.

I hope he just accidentally missed his stop and his phone died, which is why he couldn't reply to him.

Even with these thoughts, it didn't stop Bai Qiu from being really anxious, and even a little angry.

When he finds Su Shi later, no matter what the reason, he must give Nagasaki Su Shi a good talking-to for making him worry about her so much!

My phone... seems to be ringing?

And it seems like it's been ringing many times since just now.

Motoyo Nagasaki suddenly realized this problem.

Shiina Tatsuki once said that Nagasaki Motoyo is that kind of person; whenever he falls into a bad emotional state, he will give up on himself and let himself become depressed.

From seeing Hakushu and Aine's romantic kiss in the rain until now, Nagasaki Motoyo has indeed been like that.

The phone rang... Could it be Bai Qiu?

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly thought of something.

No longer looking at the churning sea, she lowered her head, her dim blue eyes fixed on her wet shoulder bag.

Nagasaki Motoyo slowly unzipped her jacket and reached for her phone.

Fortunately, only the surface of the shoulder bag was wet; the moisture had not completely seeped into the inner layers.

Her phone is fine.

And the screen was still lit up, revealing that familiar note.

Nagasaki Motoyo focused her gaze and quickly grabbed her phone to examine it closely.

It was only then that she realized her phone was full of calls and messages from Bai Qiu.

[Su Shi, what time will you be back?]

It's raining, did you bring an umbrella?

[Su Shi, is the brass band practice about to end? It's getting late, should I come pick you up?]

Haha! It's rare for Su Shi to go this long without replying to my messages; it feels a bit strange.

[Su Shi, I've made dinner. I was going to surprise you, but I thought I'd tell you anyway. By the way, you're a little late today!]

[Su Shi, I've gone to the Moon Forest to find you.]

[Su Shi, where are you? Tell me quickly!]

[Nagasaki Motoyo! Don't do anything foolish!]

Nagasaki Motoyo gently covered her mouth, blinking in surprise.

She looked at all the messages Bai Qiu had sent her.

Bai Qiu seems...very worried about her?

Normally, if she sensed the undisguised worry in Bai Qiu's words and knew that he wanted to pick her up from school, she would be very happy.

But now, an overwhelming sense of loss wells up inside me.

From now on, all of these belong to Chihaya Aine.

Seeing the final message, Nagasaki Motoyo was a little puzzled. What foolish thing was she going to do?

Oh, right, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized that, despite the heavy rain, Shiraaki had gone to the Moon Forest to find her.

She still told Bai Qiu that she was fine and that Bai Qiu should go back quickly.

However, after she tapped the phone screen a few times, the screen suddenly went black.

Nagasaki Motoyo paused for two seconds, then subconsciously pressed the buttons on her phone a few times, but there was no response.

I'm not sure if the phone ran out of battery or if it shut down due to water damage.
