"...Aunt, thank you for being so tolerant of me."
After heaving a sigh of relief, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally put down the big stone hanging in his heart.
Alas, there is nothing I can do. I cannot stop someone from meddling in other people’s affairs.
"Zhonghe, then please come and play with Xiao Sushi more often then?"
"Definitely."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, said goodbye to each other in a formal manner, and then quietly hung up the phone.
"Xiao Sushi, how did you make such good friends? Mom is a little envious of you~"
The cold and indifferent Nagasaki Yuko had already run away to who knows where, and now she was looking at her still dazed daughter pitifully.
"… And you were clearly trying to talk to Xiao Zhonghe just now, right? But now your elbow is turning outward, huh?"
Looking at Nagasaki Yuko who suddenly started to act coquettishly towards her again, Nagasaki Suyo just breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of her mouth, and felt relieved.
"...I thought mom was going to have a fight with Nakagawa. I was really scared."
Nagasaki Suyo spoke softly, but her mind kept thinking of other things.
When Nagasaki Yuko finally left Nagasaki Motoyo's room, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly crawled back into her bed.
A warm yellow night light is turned on on one side, giving the room a light warm color.
Zhonghe should be considered to have accepted my apology by doing this? If he is still speaking for me like this, it means he doesn't hate me, right?
Oops, oops... What's my expression now?
At this time, Miss Su Shi hurriedly wrapped herself tightly in a soft quilt, and hid her pretty face, which could not stop smiling, deeply in the quilt.
At this moment, Miss Su Shi didn't even dare to look at her cell phone.
Because if I saw my silly smile in the reflection of the phone, I would be so ashamed.
Even so, whenever Miss Su Shi thought of such things, she couldn't suppress her overly happy mood.
Really...why am I so happy for no reason?
……
"Okay, it looks like I have to accept it."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki shrugged and looked at the brand new phone in his hand helplessly.
Having said that, this seems to be my first time using a new mobile phone. Before that, I had only used various second-hand phones.
"You suddenly looked very serious just now, what's wrong?"
Toyokawa Shoko slowly put down the small bowl of rice in her hand and asked softly.
"…I guess I'm being tested."
Sighing, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was not too sleepy now. He just took the chopsticks handed to him by Xiangzi and continued: "Although I was a little unhappy at the time, but now I really apologize so solemnly... It makes me feel a little embarrassed again."
"Such hesitation is quite in the style of Xin."
With a slight smile, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to be relieved and slightly tilted her body towards Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
If I move next door tomorrow, I won't be able to be with Xin like this at night, right?
It’s only been a short time, but I’m already reluctant to let go... It’s too much, Xin.
There was nothing much to talk about during meal time. The two of them just shared some meaningless topics as usual and complained about the various strange things that happened while working today.
After shaking his hands gently and drying them on the towel rack beside him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sat back on the sofa and relaxed, setting up his computer.
While waiting for the computer to start up, Nakagawa Nobuyuki took out his new cell phone.
The new card that came with the phone had its number written on the card, and it even told Zhonghe Xin that the phone bill would be deducted from her...
There's even a cell phone insurance contract inside the phone box...that's really thoughtful.
Alas... I can't just take advantage of you and act like a good kid, I'd better use it well.
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki started copying the address book.
It is said to be a copy, but in fact it is just to directly enter the phone number and save it on it. After all, there are not many calls that Zhonghe Xin needs to make frequently. In addition, Zhonghe Xin has a good memory, so he doesn't even need to look at his old phone.
"Xiangzi, come to think of it, it's a good idea to save this new phone number."
He gently pressed the enter key and recorded the phone numbers of everyone he knew in the address book. Nakagawa Nobuyuki nodded with satisfaction and then turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko on the side.
Toyokawa Shoko had actually been watching from the side... and at the same time, she also noticed something strange.
...Why are my father and mother not in the address book that Xin just added?
Generally speaking, the phone number that people remember most clearly is usually their parents', right?
182
Chapter 182 [Holy Fallen Angel Aziji]
"... Letter, why didn't you include your parents' phone number?"
Blinking, Toyokawa Shoko asked this question out of curiosity.
As soon as she said it, Toyokawa Shoko regretted it instantly.
I have lived with Xin for such a long time, but I have never heard Xin mention anything about his family... No matter how I think about it, it must be difficult to bring up, right?
For example, you definitely wouldn't want to talk about your bastard dad to others, right?
However, the question has already been asked and it is impossible to take it back.
"...Well, saying it out loud would make the atmosphere awkward."
Nakagawa Shin didn't think there was anything wrong, he just shrugged indifferently and said softly: "Because it's really impossible to add something that doesn't exist."
As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobuyuki selected the new card and called Toyokawa Shoko's cell phone.
"Ah... yes, that's right."
Just as Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought, Toyokawa Shoko's expression suddenly became a little stiff, and she turned her head away in embarrassment.
That's why Nakagawa Nobumasa often doesn't want to bring up this topic. If he brings up this topic, it will always make others look embarrassed, which makes it difficult for himself.
Fortunately, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had so much experience in this area that it was a bit heartbreaking, so he just naturally skipped the topic.
He also did not stay here for long. Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked up at the laptop in front of him which had already been started up. He planned to follow the ideas given by Miss Yamada and listen to the Kasuga Kage, whom he was most familiar with, to warm up his ears.
"… Shin, do you want to practice composing?"
Curling her hair awkwardly, Toyokawa Shoko gently leaned against Nakagawa Nobuyuki and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a somewhat nervous look in her eyes.
"It's not really practice, I just want to sharpen my ears and practice some basic techniques like derailing."
Sighing, looking at the composition software being loaded in front of him, Nakagawa Nobu, who was holding up his head, handed over a pair of headphones and asked, "Xiangzi, do you want to come and take a look?"
It could be seen that Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her was trying to change the subject and ease her embarrassment. Toyokawa Shoko also cleared her throat as if nothing had happened and took over Nakagawa Nobuyuki's headphones.
Then, the next second, looking at the extremely familiar words on the screen, Toyokawa Shoko's heart trembled violently, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
“… Xiangzi?”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned slightly, looked at Toyokawa Shoko whose pupils suddenly shrank in front of him, and spoke with some concern.
Although they knew that this song was left by [Crychic] back then, and Nagasaki and Deng seemed to care a lot about this song, Xiangzi's reaction was obviously more exaggerated.
"…No, it's okay, Shin, let's continue."
Taking a deep breath, Toyokawa Shoko forced herself to resist the urge to take off her headphones and run away, and just grabbed the corner of Nakagawa Nobuyuki's clothes.
What can running away solve?
Now, I should form a good band with Xin...After these problems are resolved, I should apologize to everyone properly.
Besides, Xin obviously helped me so much, right? Now that Xin wants to join two bands at the same time, he must improve his skills, right? Then of course he needs to rely on himself to help, right?
Especially since I am the one who composed the music, I can naturally help Xin the most.
She re-solidified her heart, her thin lips slightly bitten to a pale color, and nodded to Nakagawa Nobu who looked worried.
As the girl and Nakagawa Nobuyuki explained various key points, time passed quickly.
After a long time, Nakagawa Nobuyuki let out a light breath, covered his aching head and waved his hands.
"... Xiangzi, let's stop here."
At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki missed the powerful function of [Progress Bar] very much, which could quickly improve his comprehension ability.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just heard a lot of things and had indeed memorized a lot of them, but it was extremely difficult to really understand them.
If using the [Progress Bar] wasn't so uncomfortable and too much of a drain on the body, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would have started using it right now.
"No problem, you can continue tomorrow."
She nodded. The initial hesitation was no longer visible in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes. Only a bit of seriousness slowly flowed through her eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"Xiangzi, why don't you go and rest for a while? I don't plan to go to bed until later."
Looking at the computer which was still on the composition software interface, Nakagawa Nobuyuki stretched slightly and spoke softly to Toyokawa Shoko who was sitting next to him.
Anyway, my mind is almost full, and I can't hear anything Xiangzi says anymore, so I might as well let Xiangzi take a rest first.
"…It's okay. Let me sit here for a while."
Toyokawa Shoko just gave a slight smile in response.
...Actually, I still don't want to move next door? After all, I can always see the letter here.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki didn't say much, just smiled and turned around to start trying it seriously on his own.
And Toyokawa Shoko just looked at Nakagawa Nobu's face, who was concentrating on his work, and no one knew what he was thinking.
By the time Nakagawa Nobuyuki was interrupted by an abrupt touch again, Toyokawa Shoko's light blue little head had already hit his shoulder gently.
With her eyes closed peacefully, Xiangzi's beautiful eyelashes were trembling slightly. Her cute face with no makeup and some baby fat was a little soft and flat because it was pressed against his shoulder.
He was sleeping soundly, breathing deeply and regularly with a soft snoring sound that was somewhat cute, like that of a kitten.
...I actually fell asleep.
He gently let go of the mouse, slowly raised his arm, and slowly circled Toyokawa Shoko's little head. The other arm moved slightly in another direction, trying not to wake up Toyokawa Shoko who was already sleeping.
Just like that, slowly...slowly he picked up the girl in a princess-like posture, walked slowly to the bed, and only when he put the girl safely on the bed did Nakagawa Nobuyuki feel a little relieved and tiptoed back to the computer.
Just when Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just regained his composure, Toyokawa Shoko, who Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought was already soundly asleep, quietly opened her eyes.
The girl secretly looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki's appearance, feeling the strange throbbing in her heart caused by the impending separation, but it was difficult to tell what it was.
Obviously, tonight is the last night we sleep together...
Even so, curled up in the bed filled with that fresh scent, Toyokawa Shoko didn't last long before her eyelids began to twitch violently.
...In fact, because of this smell, in that vague dream, Xiangzi saw a very happy picture.
However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would not know all this.
At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki is killing time in an online game called [Neo Fantasy Online].
Because Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just made up his mind that after Xiangzi fell into a deep sleep, he would use the [Progress Bar] again to digest what was in his head.
However, because he was afraid of encountering the same situation as last time, this time Nakagawa Nobuyuki decided to wait until he was completely sure that Toyokawa Shoko was asleep before using the [Progress Bar] properly.
Anyway, it's just to kill time, and playing games is also good.
However, even if you are just playing games, you will always encounter some speechless things.
Looking at the two players who suddenly blocked his way, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could only twitch his brows slightly.
[Holy Fallen Angel Akohime]... What kind of name is this? It sounds a bit too childish.
