Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Xiangzi: "?"

What are you looking at me for?

"Xiao Xiang, you must have written it correctly, right? Could you..."

"Hehe, I'm not writing it."

Xiangzi interrupted Su Shi, completely extinguishing her hope.

Are you kidding me? Working a part-time job and having to write 20,000 words? That's practically killing her!

Besides, she didn't even attend Tsukinomori High School anymore.

It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant. (Waves hand)

I'm really not familiar with things like Tsuki no Mori.

I'm about to become a true Yuqiu person, which means I can fly freely in the sky from now on, and those ridiculous rules of the Moon Forest will no longer be able to control me, Toyokawa Shoko.

To be honest, she's had enough of all those formalities! Let whoever wants to be the obedient girl be it!

She wants to dye her hair blonde, sing heavy metal, and buy a stainless steel lighter to use from morning till night, then lean against the roadside and watch the handsome girls!

Yanming: "?"

Why do I suddenly feel an itch in my hands, and also an urge to break Xiao Xiang's legs?

Su Shi couldn't believe it: "How could this be? Xiao Xiang, aren't you a top student?"

Xiangzi immediately retorted, "Aren't you the same? Then why didn't you write it?"

"..."

Su Shi was silenced by those words.

She may appear to be a top student, but that's just an act to please others; she doesn't actually enjoy studying much.

Ruo Yemu gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, Su Shi... there are still two days left. Write 10,000 words by hand each day, and you'll finish quickly. I'll stay with you."

"Thank you, Xiao Mu... but you're really not good at comforting people."

Mu Tou squatted in the corner and started drawing circles.

Looking at Su Shi, who went from being happy to withdrawn, Deng blinked and said, "Poor Su Shi..."

"She brought it on herself."

Xiangzi complained.

Yanming, however, had a different perspective. He first pulled the lamp aside, then whispered in her ear, making sure no one else could hear, "Xiaodeng, didn't you want to form a band? Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Let me tell you, just like this..."

As Deng listened to the instructions from the idea master, Xing Yanming, he nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

"Did you remember everything? Okay, let's go."

After Yanming finished his guidance, he raised his hand to encourage her.

Deng took a deep breath: "Okay, Mr. Yanming!"

Then, she walked up to the withdrawn Su Shi, her eyes gradually filled with determination: "Su Shi, can I...?"

Su Shi looked down at the lamp, unsure why she had come to him at this hour.

"Can I come to your house?"

After Deng finished speaking, he immediately became nervous again.

The atmosphere instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"Snapped."

Yanming covered his forehead in despair.

This is different from what he said!

"ha--!?"

Shiina Tatsuki couldn't sit still any longer, "I disagree!"

How could Xiaodeng possibly go to Su Shi's house?

"Um, Little Light, whatever you want to do, it's the same if you come to my house. You can think about it again. That guy Nagasaki Motoyo might not even welcome you. I'm different, though. I like Little Light..."

"Thank you, Riki-chan... but I still want to go to Su-se's house."

Deng first indirectly declined Li Xi's offer with thanks, then continued, "Can Xiao Mu come along too?"

The man from Mutou dropped the small twig he was holding and stood up from the ground.

She gets really excited when it comes to this.

"I can do anything."

I want to think about it...

Wakaba Mutsumi revealed a determined expression.

"Uh... yes, that's possible, but my family is rarely home..."

Su Shi instinctively tried to evade the question, but by the time she realized what she was doing and wanted to refuse, it was too late. She could only continue, "But what does Xiao Deng plan to do with Xiao Mu at my house?"

"I want to help Su Shi and get along well with Su Shi-chan!"

Deng confidently recited the answer Yanming had taught her word for word.

On the other side, someone's toes had dug a large hole in the concrete floor of the zoo.

Chapter 120 Past and Future.

Xiangzi glanced sideways at Yanming, whose stomach was throbbing with pain, and gestured with his chin: "You taught him?"

"I didn't... Don't talk nonsense."

He swore to God that he had never asked the lamp to do that; he had only given a general direction for handling the situation.

The result... is like some poor students copying the title along with their English essay during exams...

Deng's smooth combo left Lixi and Yanming completely bewildered.

But the most bewildered person must be Mrs. Nagasaki, who has only recently divorced.

"Ah, ah, this... a small lamp?"

What is this all about? This is so sudden!

The situation unfolded like a fully insured semi-trailer dump truck with malfunctioning brakes, attempting to speed along a road that was bound to kill people.

...and cold sweat was pouring down my face.

Deng looked at Su Shi expectantly: "Is it okay?"

Looking at her with those eyes, Su Shi simply couldn't bring herself to say no.

"Is...is that okay...?"

Mu: "Okay."

(O゜▽゜)O.

You can go to the Su family now!

"They actually agreed..."

Yanming was also helpless.

This is what they call a process that's all wrong but the answer is all right... It's not exactly a lucky accident, but mainly because it was Deng's request. Given Su Shi's previous attitude towards the others, she actually really wanted these friends who played in the band together to come to her house as guests.

She's a child who's afraid of being abandoned.

"hateful……"

Shiina Tatsuki gritted his teeth.

Why doesn't Deng go to her house? What good things does Su Shi have at home? With her personality, all she'll be able to offer Deng and the others is probably some black tea.

"In that case, I'll go too."

Li Xi crossed her arms and said something quite loudly, only to be met with a polite but slightly embarrassed look from Su Shi. "What! I'm not empty-handed, I'll bring you drinks, okay?"

She hadn't originally intended to do anything at Su Shi's house; she was just worried about Deng.

After all, there have been similar rumors before, saying that a seemingly 16-year-old high school girl was actually a deeply hidden pervert.

With three more friends suddenly planning to visit, Su Shi turned to Xiangzi and said, "If everyone's going, Xiangzi, why don't you come too...?"

"Sorry, I have prior appointments with other people, so I won't have much time these next couple of days. But I still hope you have a great time."

Xiangzi rejected Su Shi's proposal.

Of course, this is not because she has any prejudice against Su Shi, but because she really has other things to do.

The bass mercenary named Hachiman Kairin had received a definite reply to the message she sent him earlier. She said she needed to meet him privately, and the time was set for the next two days.

Tomorrow, she will take Miaomeng to the agreed location to scout out the place, make some preparations and rehearse, to ensure that she can win him over 100%.

"I see, um..."

Su Shi was somewhat disappointed. "Then let's talk about it again when there's another opportunity."

A few seconds ago I was still hesitating whether to let the lights pass peacefully, but now I'm starting to regret that I didn't get the 5 Crychic synergy.

This is the magic of the Bondori Girls' boomerang control, so soo and yo-yo!

……

It was already late when we left the zoo.

After saying goodbye to each other, the six people went home.

"Compared to before, do you feel any changes in your relationship?"

Riding his motorcycle, Yanming didn't turn around, seemingly asking the question unintentionally.

Xiangzi was taken aback: "What?"

"Don't you think they've changed a lot since they were at Crychic?"

Yanming rephrased the question and asked it again, persistently.

Xiangzi thought about his interactions with other people throughout the day.

It seems that... after several months, after the breakup and reunion, their relationship has returned to how it was before, as if it has not been affected at all.

Although it was only on the surface and she didn't know what the others were really thinking, the relatively harmonious atmosphere did alleviate Xiangzi's guilt a little.

"I...can't really tell."

Xiangzi answered truthfully.

"But it's impossible for things not to change, Xiao Xiang, you understand, right?"

"I know……"

Yanming slowed down the motorcycle, allowing the sunset to envelop the two of them.

Everything around him, including time, seemed to slow down as he waited for him to speak again.

Xiangzi also rested his forehead on Yanming's shoulder.

“You’re no longer a band, but a group of friends from different schools and families.”

"It's almost impossible to meet up every day like before, and even the most passionate enthusiasm will cool down for various reasons."

"An impulsive outburst of emotion can mend a broken friendship, but over time, once all the passion has faded, how can this friendship be maintained?"

The tentacles on Xiangzi's head trembled almost imperceptibly as they swept across Yanming's collarbone.

"I have no idea……"

"Tell me what you need to do tomorrow first, and then I'll give you the answer."

Yanming then added, "Just a rough estimate is fine."

"I'm going to see someone with Yutenji. It involves... many interests, and... my future..."
