#1757 - Make it clear (rest today and continue running tomorrow)
“……………………”
It's late at night.
Ruoye Mu lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
What does Xiaoxiang think of me?
In the past, Ruoye Mu felt that this was not a problem, because she and Xiangzi were of one mind, whether in the past, present, or future. Although Xiangzi had some problems now, Ruoye Mu felt that her relationship with Xiangzi would continue.
But...is it really like that?
Duanmu Huai's voice came to her ears again, ruthlessly plucking the girl's heartstrings.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is not so.
In the final analysis, Wakaba Mutsu is Wakaba Mutsu, and Toyokawa Shoko is Toyokawa Shoko, and they are two different people after all.
Moreover, if you ask whether Wakaba Mutsuki is dissatisfied with Toyokawa Shoko in his heart...then he is indeed dissatisfied.
And it is also related to Duanmu Huai.
When Wakaba Mu knew that something happened to Toyokawa Shoko, she also understood that he was exhausted just taking care of her, so at that time, Wakaba Mu could still understand Toyokawa Shoko. In Wakaba Mu's view, as long as Toyokawa Shoko can overcome this hurdle and live a peaceful life again, the relationship between them will return to the same as before.
But that is not the case.
Xiangzi's father went out to work, Xiangzi also found a job and gradually settled down. She also joined the band again, which made Wakaba Mu very happy. So when Toyokawa Xiangzi found her and invited Wakaba Mu to join the band, she agreed without hesitation. In Wakaba Mu's view, maybe she and Xiangzi can go back to the past, back to the days of CYCHIC. Although they are different bands and different teammates, as long as Xiaoxiang can recover, it will be the best.
However, the facts were beyond Ruoye Mu's expectations.
Xiangzi did become cheerful again and not as sad as before, but her gaze did not return to herself, but fell on another person.
Duanmu Ai.
A little lonely, a little uneasy, a little dissatisfied.
You're clearly chatting with me, so why are you talking about irrelevant third-party topics?
I am your half, am I not?
But Ruoye Mu also understood why Xiangzi was like this, because Duanmu Ai was indeed too dazzling.
It is just like the sun. As long as it exists there, you will unconsciously bring it into your eyes. Even if you shift your gaze, its afterimage will remain on your retina and will be difficult to eliminate.
And Xiangzi also said that it was she who helped Xiangzi's father cheer up and found this job for Xiangzi, and now she invited her to form a band...
That’s right, although I was with Xiangzi, I couldn’t do anything for him.
After all, I am just a child, what can I do for Xiangzi?
No, that's not the case.
Wakaba Mu shook his head vigorously.
Duanmu Ai is about the same age as him, why can she do all this? Doesn't she feel uneasy? Just like the debut concert before, the nameless band's performance at the end was enough to become a topic of discussion. And the other party seemed to think that this was not enough, and even added fuel to the fire and incited the audience.
Frankly speaking, faced with the situation at that time, both Xiaoxiang and I would have been scared to the point of being weak in the knees or even at a loss. However, not only was she not afraid at all, she even quite enjoyed the atmosphere and feeling of confronting the audience, and... in the end, she did win.
In Ruoye Mu's eyes at that time, Duanmu Huai's existence was so powerful that she even envied and admired him. She also hoped to be like him, to do whatever she wanted and say whatever she wanted. But every time this happened, Ruoye Mu felt a little discouraged.
Because she felt that she couldn't speak... No!
Look at Duanmu Ai, she is even worse at speaking than me! At least compared to her, Ruo Yemu feels that he still knows what he can and cannot say!
"Why……………"
Ruoye Mu sighed silently, then put on her headphones and turned on the music. Soon, the melodious music sounded, blocking out the rain outside. This was a song that Ruoye Mu found online recently. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to listen to it now.
[………The love I give you has always been very quiet
In exchange for your occasional care
It's obviously a movie about three people.
I can never have a name
My love for you has always been quiet
I was determined from the beginning
I thought I wanted the past
But I found that love must have a response...
As he listened to the song, Ruo Yemu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
“Hu…ha…hu…”
I don’t know how long it took before Ruo Yemu woke up from his sleep—or rather, he was woken up.
Woo...what's that sound?
Ruoye Mu rubbed her eyes, raised her head and looked towards the place where the noise came from, and then she was suddenly startled.
I saw Duanmu Huai lying next to me, with his mouth wide open and snoring.
More importantly... the other person wasn't wearing any clothes! And it seemed like I wasn't wearing any clothes either!
Hey? Hey? Hey?
Why am I sleeping here?
Ruoye Mu widened his eyes in surprise, turned around and found that his bed was opposite. Ah, come to think of it, he seemed to have woken up once after falling asleep, and went to the bathroom at that time. When he came back, it was raining outside, so he subconsciously wanted to find a warm place, and then...
Anyway, wake up quickly...
Thinking of this, Ruo Yemu was about to get up, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
Why?
Hearing the footsteps, Ruo Yemu froze. Before she could figure out what to do, the door of the lounge opened and Toyokawa Shoko walked in.
"Student Duanmu, I guessed that you would sleep here again. Really, can you turn on your phone next time? I had to ask Ruby and Miss Chiyin to find out..."
Toyokawa Shoko's voice suddenly stopped as she walked into the room with a cell phone.
She stood blankly at the door, looking at Duanmu Huai who was sleeping soundly, and Ruoye Mu who sat up from Duanmu Huai and used the quilt to cover his body.
"Student Duanmu? Mu? What are you guys doing?"
"I……………"
In response to Toyokawa Shoko's question, Wakaba Mu opened his mouth but could not say anything.
What are we doing?
She doesn't know the answer to this question either!
But fortunately, there is still a reliable one here.
"Hmm? You guys didn't come yesterday, so I slept here."
Duanmu Huai sat at the table yawning, chewing a slice of bread while answering boredly.
"It's okay to sleep, but why not wear pajamas!"
"I feel more comfortable sleeping this way. To be honest, sleeping with clothes on always feels uncomfortable."
"Student Duanmu, you are a girl, you should be more reserved. What if someone sees you?"
Toyokawa Shoko angrily slammed the hot milk in front of Duanmu Huai and glared at him with dissatisfaction.
"What does it matter? If anyone dares to peek, I promise to kill him."
"This is against the law... Then again, why would you sleep together in peace?"
"I don't know about that."
Duanmu Huai shrugged.
"I was sleeping in my own bed, who knew I would wake up with a kitten in my arms?"
“……………Mu?”
Toyokawa Shoko knew that with Duanmu Huai's character, he would not lie and would not bother to lie, so she cast a puzzled look at Ruoye Mu, and the latter lowered his head.
"Because...it's warm..."
"???"
"Don't look at me, you two are childhood sweethearts."
Facing Toyokawa Shoko's puzzled gaze, Duanmu Huai decisively stated that it had nothing to do with him.
"I just talked to her last night, that's all. I didn't do anything."
"What are you and Mu talking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing actually."
Duanmu Huai said casually.
"I just talked to her about what you think of her, Xiangzi, and whether you have paid attention to her situation..."
“Cough cough cough!!”
Hearing this, Ruoye Mu, who had just drunk the milk, started coughing. She looked at Duanmu Huai with wide eyes in surprise. Originally, Ruoye Mu thought that this matter would just pass, but she didn't expect Duanmu Huai to directly point it out! ?
No, you're just going to make light of it? Can't you at least give some foreshadowing?
"How do I view Mu? Of course I view her as my best friend, right?"
On the contrary, Toyokawa Shoko was a little confused and didn't understand what Duanmu Huai meant.
"Then don't you notice that she's been in a lot of pain lately?"
"Why?"
In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then turned and looked at Wakaba Mu.
"Is that so? Mu?"
"……………………"
Ruoye Mu clenched her hands and lowered her head. She didn't know what to say or how to say it. So Ruoye Mu decisively followed her mood and made the most appropriate decision.
She turned and ran!
"Wait, Mu!"
Seeing Mu turn around and run away, Toyokawa Shoko shouted hurriedly and chased after him.
Only Duanmu Huai remained in the restaurant, drinking milk and eating fried eggs, sausages and toast. He looked at the slightly shaking SPACE door and shook his head, unable to help but sigh.
“It’s great to be young.”
