This is the result of confessing to someone you don’t like, and this is the result of forcing someone who doesn’t like you to confess.
They both brought this upon themselves, so there was no room for anyone to regret.
Shaking his head, he suppressed the urge to turn back and comfort her, took a step forward and continued walking towards the door.
"You're still talking about me."
Ming Hai sighed softly as if complaining:
"The biggest liar here is obviously you... Xiangzi."
Who would cry so sadly for someone they hate?
-
Da da da.
Before Ming Hai pushed open the door, a petite figure hurried into the restaurant.
The hat that hides all the hair, the sunglasses and mask that cover most of the face, the overall outfit looks extremely suspicious, but the hands and feet are as slender and white as a doll, which makes people not feel wary at all.
Ming Hai subconsciously made way and looked at her in confusion, but found that she was also looking up at him.
"…glaring at me?"
Although it was mostly concealed by sunglasses, the hostile and sharp gaze could not be hidden.
Ming Hai was full of confusion, not knowing when he had offended this person, but he felt that the other person's figure was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Before he could come up with an answer, the girl quickly walked past him and walked towards Toyokawa Shoko, who was sobbing quietly with her face covered in the corner.
Just when Ming Hai seemed to understand something, a familiar and gentle call came from the side.
"Ming Hai..."
Volume 82: Chapter Chapter Su Shi: I will guide Ming Hai at home for you
Narumi tilted his head, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Su Shi? Why are you here?"
After asking, Ming Hai's eyes swept over the high-end shopping bag in her hand. As if he understood something, he couldn't help but reveal a half-smile and glanced at her.
Having long guessed what he would think after her appearance, Nagasaki Suyo immediately gave an explanation.
"Things are not what you think... Anyway, let me show you the evidence first."
Taking out her cell phone, she opened the chat message between herself and Wakaba Mutsu, and asked Ming Hai to confirm the evidence. She also told him about their previous shopping experience without reservation.
"While you were watching the movie, I was shopping with Mu-chan and went to several clothing stores. These are the things we bought at that time... After you finished the movie, we put on some disguises and followed you, and then watched you eat outside."
"To be honest, the person we are focusing on is not you, but Xiangzi-chan."
After explaining as briefly as possible, Su Shi added: "Of course, I don't deny that I really enjoyed it. I want to use this invitation from Mu-chan to make up for the regret of not following you to the aquarium last time."
"You shouldn't blame me, right?"
Having said this, she blinked, with a little cunning hidden in her frankness, with her hands behind her back, and her bright smile seemed to clear away the heavy atmosphere around him.
As if he couldn't do anything about her, Ming Hai sighed, and the gloom on his brows dissipated a little.
"I was wondering why I felt like I was being watched halfway through my walk... Your tracking skills are really good. I didn't even notice you."
"It's all Mu-chan's fault. I don't know anything."
He lightly put all the blame on his companion. Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised by his nonchalant look.
"Mr. Narumi, is this okay? I thought you would be a little suspicious or angry with me... After all, when you went on a date with Shoko-chan to the aquarium, you warned me so seriously not to follow..."
"Are you a masochist? You really want me to lose my temper with you and spank you hard when I get home, right?"
Ignoring her blushing face and mumbling "That's not impossible", Ming Hai rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "The past is the past, and the present is now. And you yourself admitted that your motives were impure, what else should I doubt? Do you suspect that Ruoye Mu and those chat records were deliberately arranged by you?"
It's somewhat unnecessary.
From the moment she was well prepared and told him everything at the fastest speed, Ming Hai knew that she had no intention of being mysterious to him, and at least 90% of what she said was true, so he naturally didn't bother to delve into it any further.
After saying this, he glanced at the stage in the corner.
The girl with long light green hair has taken off her hat and seems to be comforting the emotionally unstable Toyokawa Shoko, but she is a little at a loss as she is not good at talking and doesn't know where to start.
Ming Hai felt a little relieved, gave a look to Nagasaki Suyo, and walked towards the restaurant door.
"Don't stand here any longer, let's go. We've been following you for so long, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Oh, did you find out?" Forcing herself to hide her overjoyed expression, Nagasaki Motoyo followed him with a smile, and just casually glanced at the two girls who were in a slightly heavy atmosphere. She quickly withdrew her gaze and said in a light tone, "Where are you taking me to eat? Since you are full, how about picking a cafe that serves brunch?"
Ming Hai's expression remained unchanged: "Unfortunately, I plan to go home now. If you still want to follow me, just buy a bento and bread on the way to fill your stomach."
The smile on Nagasaki Suyo's face disappeared instantly, and he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly: "Humph, you don't have any gentlemanly manners at all."
"Don't ask too much of a gentleman who just failed on a date."
"You're bringing other girls home right after a failed date?"
"You're right. This seems quite shameless." Ming Hai paused, nodded in agreement, and then said, "You'd better not follow me. Go in and comfort Xiangzi. I'll find a quiet place by myself."
"That won't do." Nagasaki Suyo had her own plans, and of course she couldn't be driven away by him in a few words. "I promised Mu-chan that I would be a peacemaker after you quarreled or broke up, and find a way to ease your relationship... She will be responsible for Xiangzi-chan's side, and I will be responsible for your side."
"…You? Peacemaker?"
Ming Hai finally couldn't help but turn around and looked at her with a subtle look.
It is quite creative and courageous of Wakaba Mutsu to let Ms. Nagasaki, who is in a very heavy mood, assist her love rival.
- Not to mention adding fuel to the fire, kicking someone when he's down, and taking advantage of the situation to get something for nothing, the fact that she didn't gloat over Shoko Toyokawa's misfortune shows that the friendship brought by [CryCHIC] is strong enough, right?
He curled his lips and asked with a smile: "If you really want to ease the relationship between us, shouldn't you pull me in front of Xiangzi and confess now?"
"But you, who said that, don't you have any awareness of doing anything wrong?"
Asking the question in an affirmative tone, Nagasaki Motoyo followed him out of the restaurant, looking at his profile with deep and unfathomable eyes, rubbing her fingers behind her back thoughtfully all the time.
"You made a girl cry, didn't you? And now you're so cruel to abandon her, leaving her alone to grieve... If Mu-chan hadn't come with you, were you really going to let Xiangzi-chan go back alone?"
"You got it right." Ming Hai said unfazed, "You're not a three-year-old kid. Isn't it hard for me to get a ride home in broad daylight? Besides, she definitely doesn't want me around her anymore than anyone else. So why not keep our distance for now and let both of us calm down before talking about other things."
It's not a lie, but it's not the truth either.
——If these two stalkers had not appeared, he would have planned to cool down outside the restaurant, wait for Xiangzi to come out, and then quietly send her back to Toyokawa's house.
It's impossible that she would still be in the mood to wander around after this?
Anyway, he couldn't leave a crying girl home alone... The two of them just had a few frank conversations, and they didn't quarrel to the point of breaking up.
And now, since Ye Mu has replaced him, there is no need for him to stay any longer.
Ming Hai just wanted to make a choice according to his mood, and of course he would not get himself into an awkward and stiff atmosphere.
After saying those words, he still pretended to be affectionate by staying by her side... Tsk, it makes me feel bad for her just thinking about it.
"On the contrary, if you leave with me, aren't you afraid of being suspected by Xiangzi afterwards?" Unwilling to talk about anything related to himself, Ming Hai turned the topic to Nagasaki Suyo, "Don't let the two of you quarrel over a bloody misunderstanding and cause the entire [CryCHIC] to fall apart. That would be troublesome... I don't want to be asked by Takamatsu how to make you two reconcile."
"You can doubt me if you want to. I don't care." She smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I am your love strategist, but if there is any problem between you, I will always stand by your side, Ming Hai, and will not betray you for the sake of friendship."
——Didn’t I tell you that I will be your helper at any time?
Nagasaki Suyo spoke softly, as if it was a matter of course, with a faint smile on her lips, but a layer of loneliness and helplessness floating between her brows.
"Of course, if you're worried that being with me will affect [CryCHIC] and Xiangzi-chan... I have a solution."
She glanced at Ming Hai, as if to confirm his meaning, and then made a phone call.
"Mu-chan? Can Xiangzi-chan answer the phone for a moment?"
After a pause of a few seconds, as if receiving some unpleasant answer, Nagasaki Suyo's expression darkened slightly, and soon she showed a malicious smile again.
"Don't want to listen now? It's okay, just tell her that Ming Hai is in my hands, and if she doesn't want it, I will take her home~"
After Mutsu on the other end of the phone faithfully conveyed the words, Nagasaki Suyo spoke to Toyokawa Shoko, who had a hoarse voice and pretended to be calm, through the door of a restaurant.
"Mr. Sushi, what do you mean by this?"
Nagasaki Suyo said calmly, "I know roughly what happened. Xiangzi-chan, you should go back with Mu-chan today. I will take care of Minghai."
Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt nervous: "Responsible? What are you going to do..."
"Of course I want you to reconcile, just like I promised you before~" Nagasaki Suyo interrupted her in a casual tone, "Don't worry, in the name of 'love strategist', I will guide Ming Hai at home for you... Now, let's separate and calm down, and when the time is right, we can re-examine the relationship between you!"
"At home?! Wait! Please don't talk to yourself--"
Click.
Nagasaki Suyo was merciless and hung up the phone on Toyokawa Shoko.
Then she turned her head and narrowed her crescent-like eyes at Ming Hai, with a gentle smile on her lips, which seemed to carry a hint of vengeful pleasure.
"How about that? This way you won't be afraid of misunderstandings, right~"
Volume 83: Chapter Chapter Being favored is fearless
that time.
Outside the restaurant, I watched the two people eating in a solemn and silent atmosphere as if this was their last dinner.
It's a bit bad, but Nagasaki Suyo...
I am happy from the bottom of my heart.
"Ahh, this is bad~"
She remembered the day when she "surrendered" to Xiangzi at school, remembered his confident expression, as if he had already grasped happiness in his hands, and also remembered her own despicable and dark thoughts.
Although he made a worried sound, the corners of his mouth beneath the mask couldn't help but rise up. He felt so happy that it seemed as if all the pressure and depression that had accumulated over the past month had disappeared in an instant.
The seemingly deep emotions were completely shattered by a lie, and we no longer see Xiangzi's energetic look as he said to himself, "Of course, I won't lose!"
——If it could end like this, it would definitely be the perfect ending, right?
I can mediate, calm down Xiangzi-chan's emotions, and gradually replace her position in Minghai's heart. Then I can find a chance for everyone to sit down and have a good talk and forgive each other's past immaturity.
In the end, they put aside their past grudges, and Xiangzi and Minghai became ordinary good friends, and she was with him openly - they had both love and friendship, and the band could continue happily.
No one needs to compromise. Just thinking about this future makes people laugh out loud.
"Su Shi, you seem very happy?"
"Well... after all, Xiangzi-chan is finally going to kick out the man who doesn't like her. Don't you think it's a good thing to be happy about being freed from false love?"
"That's true, but..."
Ignoring Mutsu-chan's annoying intuition, after confirming that Narumi and Shoko's relationship had finally broken down, Nagasaki Motoyo was already thinking about how to launch an offensive against him in the coming days.
Of course, there was one thing that worried her.
——That was Ming Hai’s purpose in approaching Xiangzi.
If this goal is not achieved, even if Xiangzi-chan unilaterally starts to hate him, Minghai may still continue to pursue her.
Regardless of whether there is a possibility that their relationship will be rekindled, once things develop to this point, at least before Ming Hai completes his goal, she will have even less room to interfere between them than she does now, and she may even be deliberately alienated and used as a token of his allegiance to regain control of Xiangzi.
So at that time, Nagasaki Suyo specifically tried to probe him a few times, wanting to know whether he would simply give up pursuing Xiangzi because of this "quarrel".
And the conclusion is...
"It was just a quarrel. I'll go back to her and make peace with her in a few days."
It didn't matter what Xiangzi-chan thought, his eyes were still on her, with no intention of turning to himself.
It's not a breakdown in the relationship, nor is it an opportunity to take advantage of.
After a brief dream, Nagasaki Suyo was forced to admit a more tragic fact.
"Ahh~ It would be nice if I didn't know anything."
If you don’t know anything, you won’t have any unnecessary emotions and you can like someone straightforwardly and simply.
…She suddenly felt a little annoying.
After meeting Ming Hai, I became smart, cunning, and full of scheming.
-
"What's wrong?"
