“They actually dared to look for Xiangzi yesterday.”

Ningzi leaned against the iron handrail, muttering to herself as her gaze began to grow increasingly dangerous.

The weak Ningzi is dead. What you'll encounter next is the super Ningzi, who will attack under the identity of Toyokawa Shoko.

"Okay, so scary."

The red-haired student sitting in the corner of the tram was trembling all over, covering his face with his textbook, afraid that Ningzi would see him.

Why is Toyokawa-kun here too?! He's muttering things like "I'll kill you, I'll kill you..."

Is this even a girl band anime?!?

Chapter 107. We should go our separate ways.

"The tram has arrived at the station."

Ningzi looked up at the display board and stepped out of the tram as the doors opened.

"Xiao Xiang."

Mu stood gracefully at the station, carrying a briefcase. Her school uniform accentuated her beautiful figure, making her resemble a Venus statue enshrined in a museum.

Ningzi didn't reply, but simply nodded calmly.

He doesn't speak, pretending to be cool.

"Su Shi has already arrived at Yu Ze Coffee Shop."

"Okay, I understand, Mu."

"..."

The atmosphere between the two was cold, and Mu knew that "Xiao Xiang" did not want to come.

I'm actually putting pressure on Xiao Xiang... because Su Shi put pressure on me, so I'm putting pressure on Xiao Xiang, right?

Knowing that Xiangzi was busy with work, she still told him about Su Shi last night.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm sorry."

"Mu should be stronger. This isn't your fault, is it?"

Ningzi squinted and smiled, trying to think about what her sister would say and do if she were here.

If I were the older sister, my next line of dialogue would be:

"After all, the important thing is to solve the problem, not to make it worse."

"Uh-huh!"

Although Mu's expression did not change much, the bitterness in his heart was somewhat relieved by Ningzi's words.

Even the strongest person would break down if their heart was injured on both sides.

"Let's go, Xiao Mu."

Puffing out her chest, Ningzi followed her sister's example from memory, hanging her bag securely under her arm.

"Ah."

Compared to the off-get off work hours of office workers, high school students get out of school relatively early. Lunch break is over before nightfall; it's a little past three in the afternoon.

"welcome."

That's what the waitress at the door said.

Yuzawa Coffee Shop, is that the name?

Not long ago, on that afternoon, I took the sleeping pills from Sanjiao Chuhua here and exchanged contact information.

Mikami Hatsuka is a villainous woman, just like Nagasaki Motoyo.

I told Chu Hua that I had changed my phone number and that she shouldn't contact me from the old number anymore. This Chu Hua is really obedient... She sends me a few messages every now and then, just for no reason.

It could be a good morning greeting, or it could be a routine work post, but the words always reveal a sinister motive in the woman's heart.

Ugh, that's disgusting.

"Xiao Xiang!"

In a corner of the coffee shop, Nagasaki Motoyo sat quietly and elegantly.

Three small saucers were placed in front of her, on which Su Shi had ordered drinks according to the three of them's tastes.

Mu's mango juice, his own black coffee, and Su Shi's own Darjeeling coffee.

Has Su Shi always been a vegetarian? The things she drinks give people the feeling that "I am a cucumber spirit that grew out of the earth, so I can only eat vegetarian food."

Good afternoon, Su Shi.

Ningzi nodded politely in response, and only sat down next to Mu after Mu had taken his seat.

Interestingly, Su Shi actually placed the coffee she had ordered for herself next to her.

What's even more interesting is that after seeing that he chose to sit next to Mu instead of her, Su Shi silently moved the coffee over for him.

A hint of amusement crept into Ningzi's eyes.

Nagasaki Motoyo, my opinion of you has changed.

I think you're hilarious right now.

At least it brought some joy to people's minds and bodies.

"Xiao Mu, thank you for your hard work."

Su Shi turned her head to look at Ruo Ye Mu, only to receive a silent nod from Mu.

Today, Wakaba Mutsu is here merely as an observer.

She had no interest in interfering in their affairs, nor did she want to be remembered by either of them.

Let me just pretend I'm really just a cucumber seedling.

"Don't be nervous, Xiao Mu."

Ningzi gently placed her small hand on Mu's thigh under the table, hoping to make Mu feel her tenderness in this way.

My older sister has always been gentle, so if I want to play Xiangzi well, I need to cut off some of my thorns.

temporary.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm really sorry about what happened that day."

Nagasaki Motoyo starts with zero frames.

"..."

Do you have to keep bringing this up?!

"That matter is no longer worth discussing, Su Shi."

As the coffee slowly flowed into her mouth, facing a topic she was very unwilling and disliked, Ningzi resisted the urge to pour the coffee all over Saki Sose's face and answered very politely.

"..."

Su Shi panicked a little. She knew she shouldn't have brought this up, after all, it was already a once-in-a-lifetime event that Xiao Xiang was finally willing to see her after so long...

I can't mess this up, but I can't help but want to say a few more words. Nagasaki Motoyo, you're such a nuisance.

"I'm sorry, if possible, please don't take my words to heart..."

Su Shi tried her best to salvage the current atmosphere, Mu remained silent, and Xiao Xiang seemed to be starting to get a little dissatisfied... Oh no!

“I won’t care. I’m someone who looks forward, and I hope you, Su Shi, are the same.”

"But…"

Su Shi! Don't get agitated. Although you know you have a lot of grievances and don't know how to vent them, you need to stay calm!

Xiangzi would never like a guy who only knows how to vent his emotions!

Nagasaki Motoyo remained silent for a moment, calming herself down by drinking tea.

"I understand, I won't bring it up again, Xiao Xiang."

"It would be best if you could understand."

Ningzi put down her coffee cup with a quick and simple motion.

“Su Shi, strictly speaking, I’m the one who called you out today, right?”

"Ah, yes."

From the moment she entered until now, Ningzi noticed that Motoyo's back had been ramrod straight; the word "bent" seemed to be absent from Motoyo's dictionary.

"Although we were indeed very good friends in the past, I apologize for neglecting you for so long because of my personal matters."

Ning Zi suppressed his nausea and, using Xiang Zi's most composed way of thinking, uttered words against his will.

"No, it's not Xiao Xiang's fault, it's my fault for being too..."

"Stop, Su Shi, there's no need to say any more," Ning Zi waved her hand. "I just want to tell you that we shouldn't see each other again."

"W-what? You're... joking, right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's expression instantly crumbled, and her straight back began to bend.

He looked like he couldn't accept it.

Wakaba Mutsu sipped her drink through the straw, her face expressionless.

"No, my friend, it seems we've drifted further and further apart."

"What? What do you mean? You must be joking."

Su Shi forced a smile, trying to ease the tension.

"We were happy together in the past, but now we can't get along anymore. We should go our separate ways. That's life."

Toyokawa Ningko came to end the relationship between Su Shi and Xiangzi.

Chapter 108. Let's water the Sose with coffee.

Parting ways...going their separate ways?

What does this mean?

Does that mean there will be no more Xiangzi in my life from now on?

Nagasaki Motoyo's eye twitched slightly.

Does this mean that Crychic will never be reorganized again?

From Ichinose to Nagasaki, from junior high to high school, the only thing that made me feel warmth and experience a sense of belonging during those three or four years...

Is it really broken like this?

Is it still the kind of thing that's completely beyond saving...?

The teacup slipped from my hand, the delicate little cup making an intimate kiss with the tabletop before chipping off a corner and bouncing to the ground.

Broken.

At the same time, Nagasaki Motoyo's aging heart, which had stopped beating, also shattered.

"..."

Forget about calming down, forget about considering this and that! Stop thinking about it! Xiangzi is going to cut it himself!

"No! I... I don't think our relationship has faded... Xiao Xiang! We haven't drifted apart, really not. I've always remembered Xiao Xiang, and I've been looking for him..."

"That's enough. Didn't I say that our relationship isn't ending because of you? Don't you understand?"

Ningzi felt like her head was about to explode.

She really couldn't understand why Nagasaki Motoyo would keep bothering her even after she had explained herself so clearly.

Just because you're mentally ill doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want!

I'm mentally ill too, and I have multiple types. Should I just execute you right now?! You piece of trash…

"Know what?"

"I understand. It's me who wants to end all of this, Nagasaki Motoyo. No, Nagasaki-kun, I apologize to you. I'm really sorry. So, can we never contact each other again?"

"No...this isn't Xiao Xiang's fault..."
