Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

"Tsk—" Xiangzi couldn't help laughing, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Why do you always care about this kind of thing?"

Liu Hao explained, "Food is the most important thing for people. You may not understand, but 'Have you eaten?' is the highest form of polite greeting in China."

"I understand. I've already eaten."

Xiangzi pursed his thin lips, and an unstoppable smile hung on his beautiful face.

"That's good." Having achieved his goal, Liu Hao said, "Then you should get some rest early. Goodbye."

"See you."

This time, it was Liu Hao who hung up the call first. Toyokawa Shoko sniffed the alcohol in the air, one hand gently holding the phone against her beautiful, swollen chest. With the other, her slender, white fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden floor, as if she were playing the piano. Shoko also hummed softly—

"The infinite dream is the dream, the world is the center of the world..."

Xiangzi suddenly paused, and after a long while he murmured softly:

"Fool."

Volume 4: Chapter Chapter Forget each other in the world?

"Is this fate, coincidence, or some weird reason?"

The next afternoon, Liu Hao walked out of the nearest mobile phone store outside the school, feeling the burning sensation of the bright sunshine on his skin. Although he made a prompt decision, he still felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Inexplicably, a wonderful connection was established with a girl from another world. If this kind of thing that is difficult to explain by modern science happened to other college students who have not yet gotten rid of their middle school mentality, they would probably be extremely excited and even unable to sleep all night, eager to start proving their uniqueness.

However, Liu Hao slept soundly last night and did not have too many divergent associations. For Liu Hao, who had experienced many things and had arranged his life in a stable manner, this was just a wonderful encounter.

Liu Hao could understand the girl's state of mind, and her cry also stirred ripples in his heart. However, for a passer-by who passed by in life, Liu Hao felt that the influence he had on her should be positive, and did not hurt her self-esteem. This was also the greatest kindness of a senior who had experienced it.

Then it is better to forget each other than to support each other.

Liu Hao turned around and walked into the China Mobile business hall again, confirming again and again that there was no charge for calling the customer service number, then walked out and dialed the China Mobile customer service number.

"Heart-level service..."

“Human service.”

"You will now be connected to a human operator. Please wait... Hello, customer service number 9527 is here for you. How can I help you?"

"it's me."

Hearing Toyokawa Shoko's voice, although Liu Hao still felt a little regretful, his depressed mood suddenly relaxed a lot, "Sure enough, it has to be Miss 9527."

Hearing this reassuring voice, Xiangzi raised the corners of his mouth, but said with a somewhat helpless tone: "You are disturbing my normal work again."

"Yeah, but I shouldn't be able to harass you anymore."

Xiangzi suddenly tightened his grip on the mouse and asked in a calm tone, "What's wrong?"

Liu Hao explained, "I asked our local operator, and they said the call confusion issue was probably caused by the Gravity Unicom package that I inexplicably activated on my phone. The operator couldn't explain it either, saying that they didn't launch the package. There's probably no scientific explanation, so I guess they can only blame it on quantum mechanics or something like that. Anyway, I asked the operator to cancel the package for me, and they said it would take effect within an hour or two, and the five yuan package fee would be refunded. By then, I shouldn't be bothering you anymore."

Her heart twitched violently, as if a sharp knife had cut through her bright red ventricle. Toyokawa Shoko's smile froze on her face, but her heart had long been scarred and had formed a solid scab, becoming hard. This kind of thing could no longer hurt her... right?

"That's really good news for me."

Xiangzi lowered his eyelids and smiled, feeling a little complicated. Perhaps he couldn't let it go for a while, but he still had to look forward.

The two fell into silence for a while. Xiangzi was wearing soundproof headphones, so Liu Hao could only hear the girl's faint breathing. Xiangzi could hear the hustle and bustle of traffic on Liu Hao's side, but of course it only sounded noisy at this time.

Liu Hao looked at the white clouds in the sky and said, "The spring weather is pretty good."

Xiangzi replied, "Yes."

The cubicle was of course bright and clean, but Tokyo outside was actually shrouded in dark clouds.

"When the weather is good, my mood is good. I hear beautiful voices and have wonderful experiences... Oh, and there's also the five-dollar phone plan I refunded. It was originally my money, but after all this detour, it seems like it has become a pleasant surprise."

Liu Hao said to himself, "A surprise is a good thing to celebrate. Tomorrow at noon, we'll have a special dish. For a dollar off, you can get braised chicken nuggets, and for a dollar extra, you can get braised beef with potatoes... I still prefer chicken. Not only is it cheaper, but the school cafeteria makes similar dishes that taste pretty much the same. Beef and chicken taste the same, so chicken is still more cost-effective."

"Find a familiar auntie, the kind with steady hands, and ask her to scoop out more chicken nuggets. It would be even better if there were chicken thighs. Although there's more chicken breast, it's too dry. I prefer chicken thighs."

"No, no, I'll be hungry before dinner if I keep talking. Let's decide tomorrow before lunch... It's another day full of anticipation. Life is full of surprises, isn't it?"

Toyokawa Shokuko pursed her pink and white lips tightly. She was very smart and of course understood what Bai Liu Haowu was saying. Her strong self-esteem made her not want other people's sympathy. Even if they were in the same boat, it would be considered a condescending charity. But this time, it felt completely different. Perhaps it was because of the extremely long distance, but it brought her unconditional warmth.

"boring."

Xiangzi's voice was cold, but it didn't contain the defensiveness that kept people at a distance. Liu Hao smiled and said, "It's not boring, is it? Food is the most important thing for people."

"I don't need your comfort."

"It's just some inspirational talk. It's harmless anyway...Okay, I lied." Liu Hao said seriously, "Actually, I'd rather eat beef."

"I believe that."

Xiangzi couldn't help but smile. She paused and said softly, "Thank you."

Liu Hao in another world also smiled knowingly: "No thanks, the main thing is that the world is actually quite beautiful, as long as there is... Shit..."

Xiangzi heard Liu Hao exclaim in surprise, followed by a clear thud and a harsh noise. Her heart sank as she asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened? Did you fall?"

After a while, Liu Hao's voice came over: "It's okay, I accidentally fell."

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Well, luckily the phone is not broken."

Xiangzi said in a somewhat angry tone, "I'm asking if anyone is injured!"

"How could it be so easy to get injured? I just got a little bruise on my knee, the skin isn't even broken."

"……That's good."

Xiangzi then realized how excited she had been. Before the incident, she would have thought that such concern for others was a matter of course, but now she felt a little shy. After calming down, Xiangzi Toyokawa said, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Liu Hao asked curiously, "It's none of your fault that I fell. It was my fault for not paying attention to where I was going."

"It's possible that it really is related to me," Xiangzi explained seriously. "Before I found out the truth, I cursed you in my heart that you would fall, and then you really fell."

Liu Hao was at a loss for words: "What the hell does this have to do with anything?"

"It's hard to say. Aren't you and I somehow connected... even though it's only been two short days."

Toyokawa Shoko's clear and pleasant voice was filled with undisguised sadness. Liu Hao was silent for a moment, then said in a relaxed tone, "That makes sense. Maybe there really is a connection. In that case, you have to take responsibility."

"Responsible?"

"Yes, since you can speak with your spirit, you can make up for it. Next, I will say a sentence, and you repeat it." Liu Hao took a deep breath and said, "I wish you great wealth."

"I wish you great wealth and prosperity?"

"Be serious and be pious, understand? Be pious."

"Oh."

Xiangzi responded obediently, and a smile appeared on his pretty face.

Liu Hao: "I wish you all the best."

Xiangzi: "I wish you all the best."

"I wish you the best."

"I wish you the best."

"mutual encouragement."

"mutual encouragement."

"Goodbye then."

"See you."

Goodbye, in fact, we have never met before, and we may never see each other again.

After hearing the busy tone after hanging up the phone, Shoko Toyokawa felt warm and empty in her heart. She couldn't help but turn her head and saw the sky outside the window was still covered with dark clouds.

No matter how dark it is, there are always wings that can tear apart the haze.

In the past, Xiangzi always used such words to comfort herself, and now she believes it a little more.

Volume 5: Chapter How Gravity Can Escape Gravity

Shoko Toyokawa took the tram back to her rented home in Kita Ward. Everything was the same as yesterday: a messy house, a pungent smell of alcohol, and leftover lunch boxes piled haphazardly on the table. I have to say, they were eaten quite cleanly.

"I am back."

Xiangzi changed his shoes and walked into the house. While cleaning up, he comforted himself. Although his bastard father was useless, at least he didn't have to worry about him starving to death at home. This was really a happy thing...

"Pfft-"

Xiangzi couldn't help laughing at his own thoughts, and the pungent smell in the room seemed to ease a lot.

[Is this what you said? The world is always beautiful. Actually, I used to think so too...]

Suddenly, she thought of the owner of that voice again, and the corners of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth fell.

A call from another world, I completely exposed my true feelings to a stranger. Even though we hadn't exchanged any words, we felt a tacit understanding...

Then it all ended abruptly.

Xiangzi felt as if she was dreaming. In the dark night of the dream, she was wrapped in the gentle starlight that penetrated the endless and lonely universe, letting her know that among the stars in the sky, there was one that was shining on her.

Now she is awake from the dream. Even though she can still remember the starlight, she is alone again.

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it anymore.

Cut the rennet tofu bought from the convenience store in half, put half in the refrigerator for later use, chop the other half and mix it with sweet soy sauce, then put the mixed tofu in the toast. It has an almond-like sweetness when you bite it.

Xiangzi ate the two slices of toast for dinner in a few bites with the elegance of a young lady. After washing her hands, she took out the uniform she would wear in a few days from the cupboard.

Spring break is coming to an end and it will be high school enrollment time soon.

I rejected the direct admission offer to Tsuki no Mori Junior High School, where I'd been in junior high since 6th grade, and chose instead to attend Haneda Girls' College. It was really to escape my old friends... Of course, the tuition at this aristocratic school like Tsuki no Mori is a bit high...

Xiangzi gently stroked the fabric of his uniform, sat with his back against the cupboard in the same position as last night, his thoughts inexplicably wandering again.

I don’t even know your name yet…

This time, Shoko Toyokawa did not force herself to divert her attention. She took out her cell phone and gently stroked the numbers on the call log with her slender fingers. She seemed to feel the moist warmth on the cold screen.

[It's always been you who contacted me unilaterally, but I couldn't take the initiative to contact you. It's really unfair... Even though it's all over...]

Xiangzi tried to call the number back, but was told that it was an invalid number. Now he accidentally touched the SMS icon below the number and entered the interface for sending SMS messages. However, it would probably be useless to send the number. Regardless of whether it was an invalid number or not, the connection between the two had been cut off.

"I know that I have to move forward no matter what. I...can't stop."

Xiangzi forced a smile to himself, edited a message on the SMS interface and sent it out. It didn't matter if the other party couldn't receive it, and it didn't matter if they couldn't understand Japanese - even if the sky was overcast, the stars would always hang in the sky, always there.

-------------------------------------

In the Yuyuan dormitory of Binjiang University, it was not yet the designated lights-out time. Many students who had bought midnight snacks came back one after another, and there were also young couples being affectionate with each other downstairs. It was the noisiest time of the night, but Liu Hao had already climbed onto the bed in the dormitory and prepared to rest early.

"Old Liu, why are you going to bed so early today?"

A big head poked around Liu Hao's bed and found that he was just lying there and not asleep. It was Liu Hao's roommate Zheng Ke, who was affectionately called Big Head by his roommates because of his big head. "Come on, come on, come down and play CS:GO with me."

"Still going? Still going?"

Liu Hao lay in bed, motionless, and said, "Can I call you CS2 now?"

"I'm used to it." Zheng Ke didn't care. He patted the railing and said, "Come on, come on, play with me."

Liu Hao remained unmoved: "My computer configuration is too poor to handle it."

"Don't you claim that you can kill people in three-frame esports?"

"Of course I can kill people randomly... Well, actually, I just broke up with my boyfriend and need to take a break for the night."

Zheng Ke said angrily, "How can you be heartbroken when you can't even recognize all five girls in your class? Aren't you single?"

"Being single doesn't mean you won't fall in love. That inequality is broken in seconds."

"Okay, okay, Dad, I was thinking of helping you improve your score tonight, but if you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

"The head god is awesome!"

"Dad, of course I'm awesome."

Zheng Ke no longer paid attention to Liu Hao lying on the bed. He turned around, sat down, put on his headphones, and prepared to start a thrilling gunfight between men.

Liu Hao smiled, supported the back of his head on the pillowcase with both hands, looked at the white ceiling, and continued to be a little absent-minded.

Of course it wasn't a broken heart. Liu Hao no longer had the sentimentality he used to have, let alone being so romantic as to suddenly fall in love with an illusory existence.

After just two days of simple contact, Liu Hao had already felt that she was a proud and slender girl who had accumulated self-pity in the face of setbacks, but still insisted on moving forward, like a seagull in the wind and rain, or a proud plum in the cold snow. This familiar feeling made Liu Hao's heart ripple with empathy.
