Su Shi simply stroked her mother's hair calmly, soothing her.
After a long while, Su Shi's mother finally spoke up: "Speaking of which, I feel like Su Shi has changed lately."
"Huh? Really?" Su Shi tilted her head, looking at her mother in confusion. In her eyes, she seemed to have never changed much.
There's still no way to get any closer to Momoi Taro.
"Yes, she's definitely changed," the mother said confidently. "The Su Shi of the past was never this frank."
"Mom!" Su Shi once again pleaded in a soft, sweet voice, and her mother couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The Su Shi of the past would never have acted like this."
After the two of them joked and played around for a while, Su Shicai asked, "Mom, did you run into Mr. Momoi?"
"Hmm." Su Shi's mother tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment before saying seriously, "I have a feeling she's a very incredible person."
“Hehe…” Su Shi chuckled twice, then lowered her voice and said, “After all, it’s Mr. Momoi.”
"What kind of person is he?" Su Shi's mother asked, full of curiosity, and started chatting with Su Shi.
“Probably…” Su Shi carefully summarized all the influences she had on Momoi Taro from her memories: “He was someone who never lied, serious, strict, but also very gentle, right?”
"That sounds pretty good." Su Shi's mother shook her head gently as she looked at Su Shi, who seemed to be in love like a young girl.
She suddenly remembered what Momoi Taro had said, so she asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Momoi-san's band and Suze's band are clearly not the same, so why are they so closely connected?"
"I just see them a lot when we practice. Their practice room is right across from ours." Su Shi subconsciously avoided the question.
Su Shi's mother raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "With such a frequent relationship, you even have to attend other people's celebration parties?"
"How did Mom know?" Su Shi asked shyly, unable to maintain her usual calm demeanor.
“Of course it is—” Su Shi’s mother drawled, seeing her daughter’s anxious look, she was too embarrassed to continue teasing: “It was Mr. Momoi who said it.”
So it was Mr. Momoi. That makes no surprise. Momoi Taro is the kind of person who will answer any question honestly.
However, one small problem remains:
"Why are Mom and Mr. Momoi talking?" She thought to herself, "I rarely even have time to talk to him."
"Ah, Mr. Momoi came to the company to buy a house today," Su Shi's mother said, slumping on the sofa. "He suddenly pulled out the design drawings and said he wanted to hire a construction team to build a house."
"Speaking of which, that blueprint was really well drawn. Although I don't understand it very well, it looks like it makes very efficient use of space."
"I really wonder where they found this designer, I'd love to meet them..." Su Shi's mother nestled softly against Su Shi's lap, and Su Shi carefully recalled:
"Um, wasn't it at the celebration banquet that Mr. Momoi mentioned wanting to build a dormitory or something for the band? Did they have the blueprints so quickly? Mr. Momoi probably drew them himself."
"Drawn by yourself? Su Shi attended Mr. Momoi's celebration party in the afternoon, right? In such a short time?" She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. After all, it was really hard to believe that she could do something like that.
Su Shi echoed her sentiments a couple of times, feeling a sense of relief; she had finally managed to fool them.
"Alright, Mom has answered your question, shouldn't you answer Mom's question too?" Su Shi's mother's eyes flashed with a slightly mischievous smile.
Su Shi knew she couldn't fool anyone anymore, so she could only give a general account of her and Taro's experiences.
Of course, she couldn't tell her mother everything. She hid some things about herself and Xiangzi, and some things about herself and Taro.
All that was said was that Momoi Taro was a deliveryman who persistently told the story of how his father's gift was delivered to him, and then there were the five members of his band.
One is Momoi Taro's apprentice, the other is Momoi Taro's sister, and the other is someone who received a favor from Momoi Taro, while Riki is someone who was helped by Momoi Taro.
As for Xiangzi... he admires Momoi Taro even more, as does Akari, who has a good relationship with Chihaya Aine, and it seems that Mutsu is too.
"I see, but this doesn't seem like a healthy relationship," Su Shi's mother, as an adult, immediately pointed out the problem with this relationship.
"Your band's connection with Mr. Momoi's band should remain solely with him. Otherwise, you'll only have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet with Mr. Momoi."
Su Shi's mother didn't say it explicitly, but Su Shi had a vague feeling that she understood something...
"I know, Su Shi likes Mr. Momoi, right?" Su Shi's mother's blunt words made Su Shi's heart pound.
"You just said that Mr. Momoi has quite a few people who like him, right?"
Su Shi's mother looked at her intently and said softly, "Su Shi isn't the kind of person who takes initiative, so she might lose."
"Mom...? But, I..." Su Shi looked at the other person with some confusion. Then she lowered her head, somewhat unable to meet the other person's gaze.
"If you really like someone, you should take the initiative to pursue them," Su Shi's mother said with a soft laugh.
Should I strive for it...? But I haven't become the person I'm satisfied with yet. Can I really be this good enough?
Just as Su Shi was deep in thought, her mother suddenly hugged her and whispered:
"I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side before, but it's really great. I still have a chance to make it up to you."
"Floating, floating, swaying with the waves. What kind of happy ending is our goal!"
"Mom...?" Su Shi murmured softly.
"Su Shi, you must be very lonely. Your mother only wanted to give you the best material life, but she never thought about your true needs..."
"So, Su Shi, would you like Mom to become a fan of your band? Mom wants to support you forever..."
“Mom…” Su Shi’s voice choked with emotion as she nodded, “Yes, don’t be late this time…”
"Yes, Mom, I won't miss any of Su Shi's live performances again, absolutely!" Su Shi's mother assured her.
Money, once it reaches a certain point, is just a number. Earning money is for a better life for my daughter. If she can't live a good life, what's the point...?
"So let's get the party started"
Ai Yin: Every time.
I'm going on a date with Momoi Taro tomorrow... Wait, Hailin, why did you sneak off?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Thump forty-four times, I want to trust.
Here's the story...
Thump forty-four times, I want to trust.
Another day has passed by unnoticed...
The entire house was pitch black, without a single light. Hatsune leaned against the window in the attic, hugging her small pillow.
Hatsune Miku appeared on the stage of tragedy, bathed in the silvery light of the moonlight that shone upon her.
She leaned against the wall, picked up her phone, and looked at it carefully, not wanting to miss a single message...
However, her feelings were vastly different from before. Before, she had hoped that news of Xiangzi would light up in her hand.
But now, she fears that this situation will occur.
She was terrified that Xiangzi would suddenly tell her that she knew the whole truth.
Hatsune Miku certainly knew that the truth could never be hidden forever.
Everything you fear will one day be exposed to the light of day.
She was prepared to accept that she could no longer get close to Toyokawa Shoko, but she hoped that day would not come so soon.
Xiao Xiang... I hope you won't open Pandora's box through Momoi Taro.
Just as Momoi Taro arrived home, he felt a sudden itch in his nose, but he managed to suppress this strange discomfort with sheer willpower.
After chatting with the girls in the house, the day came to an end.
The next morning, Momoi Taro was already dressed and about to leave when Nina, who had also gotten up early, called out to him, "Mr. Momoi, are you going out?"
"Yes, it's work after all," Taro answered Nina's question casually.
"Yes, because of the live event, I haven't been to the company for several days. Although Ms. Sanae has been helping me, I still have to go."
Nina looked at Taro with some curiosity and asked, "But, Mr. Momoi shouldn't be short of money, right? Because..."
"I don't do this job for the money!" Taro Momoi's voice became more passionate: "A deliveryman's job is not only to deliver packages to customers, but also to deliver happiness to them!"
Momoi Taro's confident voice traveled through the room and reached someone's ears.
Inside the room, Ebizuka Tomo was having a hard time sleeping in a completely unfamiliar place, so she woke up very early.
Upon hearing Momoi Taro's confident voice, Ebizuka Tomo spat lightly, feeling a bit disdainful.
If happiness were so easily obtained, there wouldn't be so much unhappiness in the world.
A memory flashed through her mind: a woman she knew kissing a strange man, and then the way they looked at her was filled with disgust.
"Tsk..." Ebizuka Tomo sighed, shrank back into the blanket, and covered his head with it.
Meanwhile, the conversation in the living room continued.
“I see… Ahaha… I wanted to ask if Mr. Zhou Taojing is free next week, we are planning to attend a music festival.”
Clearly, Nina didn't quite trust Momoi Taro's approach either, and she quickly steered the conversation to the part she wanted to discuss.
"Next week? Probably." Taro said uncertainly, "I'll give you an answer in a while."
After saying that, Momoi Taro was about to leave the room when Nina called out to him again, "Mr. Momoi, won't you eat first before you go out?"
"No, I'm going to get something else to eat. That's all for now. Goodbye." Taro waved casually and was about to leave when Nina called out to him for the third time, "Mr. Momoi!"
"What's wrong?" Momoi Taro turned around again, showing no sign of impatience.
Nina gave a simple, slight smile, waved to Taro, and said, "Take care on your journey."
"Okay, I'm going out." It seems that Taro is slowly getting used to greeting people before leaving the house.
After Taro left, he quickly arrived at Yamabuki Bakery. Taro pushed open the door, and Saya, hearing the noise, instinctively called out to Taro, "Welcome!"
After recognizing the person, he gave an even warmer smile and went to greet him, saying, "Taro, welcome! It's nice to see you again."
"Hmm, Saya, long time no see." Taro smiled naturally as well. "Give me chocolate snails, three... no, five!"
"Okay." Saya quickly packed five bags and handed them to Taro: "Here you go."
Taro took the bread, and Saya said with a smile, "Live, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Ah, me too." Taro's smile widened even more: "I've been watching you all from the audience all this time. This is the first time we've walked onto the stage together, isn't it?"
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it." After saying this, Sha Ling's smile faded.
"Kasumi misses you too. She's really looking forward to the Dong Brothers' live performance this time, and she even said she wants to write a song that all the bands can sing together."
