Not knowing the complicated thoughts in his mind, Toyokawa Shoko bowed again after speaking in a friendly manner. "Then, please allow me to take my leave. Good day." "Well, be careful on the road." I watched the elegant figure walking away with her toes turning lightly on her little leather shoes and her fragrant hair flying in the air. Ming Hai just stood there, frowning, gently biting the thumb at the corner of Mosa's mouth, an intense brainstorming session going on in his mind. ——Want to follow? Maybe we can find an opportunity. ——No, if I’m discovered I’ll completely collapse. No one would treat a stalker as their sweetheart. ——Then wait for fate? Maybe God will give us another chance to meet by chance, and we will just seize it when the time comes. ——Inviting her to dinner to express your gratitude is a good reason, but there is a high possibility that she will refuse again, and she is not the type to be led by the nose. ...He still didn't want to give up so easily.
Not only because an adult pretending to be young can't fool the naive young lady who seems to be ignorant of the world, but this also makes his self-esteem somewhat frustrated. Ming Hai suddenly had a premonition—— If I miss this opportunity, it might be exponentially more difficult to get closer to her next time. The missions are time-limited. Three hundred and sixty-five days is not a long time, and he doesn't know the specific way to become Bai Yueguang, so he doesn't have much time to try and make mistakes. If the mission fails... The life that I finally got the chance to start over again might just disappear into thin air? "Finally, let's try again." Ming Hai suddenly found it a little funny that he was so indecisive. After all, we have all died once, why are we still so cautious... As a worker with a working spirit, you must complete your work seriously; but if you are too anxious and anxious about it, then you are somewhat losing sight of the priorities. If you really mess up, just think of this year as a relaxing vacation, have fun, and then be at ease in your next life! Feeling a lot more relaxed, he spoke again to the figure. "Toyokawa-san." The girl stopped and tilted her head, gently running her fingers through her smooth and shiny long hair, a look of doubt appearing on her delicate and lovely profile. "Yes. Is there anything else I can help you with?" His squinting eyes, which always showed a smile, opened slightly and met Toyokawa Shoko's eyes frankly, without any concealment or escape. "I want to exchange contact information with you." Then he directly stated his purpose.
"..." She was stunned for a moment, tilted her head, and seemed a little confused, "Why?" "Because you're cute, that's the first point." Not caring about the collapse of the little milk dog's personality, Ming Hai spoke directly from his heart and continued seriously, "The second point is that you are the first person of the same age that I have met here. You are enthusiastic and responsible, and it seems that you are really easy to get along with... Don't talk about me, there is no one who doesn't want to be friends with such a person, right?" "Eh?!" Her eyes widened in surprise. Realizing her own loss of composure, she quickly coughed twice in a reserved manner, gently twisted the hair that fell on her chest, pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, and shook her head, "No, you're too kind, I'm actually not that good a person... If you knew my true nature, you would definitely be disappointed because of the gap." The latter sentence made the girl's expression become somewhat serious, and it was obviously not a casual remark of excuse. Unfortunately, Ming Hai doesn't care how many stories she has, nor does he care how bad her nature is. "Then you have to give me a chance to be disappointed." He just smiled, "If we really get to know each other, who knows who will be disappointed first." "..." Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly, and he seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and his smile became much more natural. Suddenly, he sighed. "Well then, Narumi-kun..." "Which sentence should I start with and tell the truth?" The air suddenly froze and fell into silence. This time it was Ming Hai who opened his eyes in surprise, with an expression like a fox that had just caught its prey, only to find that the other party rolled over and pressed it firmly under it. After a while. He shrugged slightly and smiled helplessly as if he was defeated. "Okay, let's start from now on." Volume 4: Chapter Chapter The Liar and the Virgin Slowly walking up to him, Toyokawa Shoko looked at his expression, and her face became slightly serious. "No other purpose?" "No, I just want to get to know you." Ming Hai raised his hands and surrendered with a sincere look in his eyes. The girl continued to question, "What about getting lost? Being stuck in the park for two hours, the phone breaking, etc., are all fake, right?" of course. In order to win her sympathy, Ming Hai just made a lot of excuses, and also made up a lot of settings for himself to cover up the previous lies. I'm not familiar with the streets of Ikebukuro, and I think the train map in Japan is a mess. I'm not lying about that, but it's not to the point where I can't even travel abroad on my own. "It's half true, half false. After all, I just came to this park not long ago, and you started talking to me... If you can see it, why are you willing to chat with me for so long?" Ming Hai couldn't help but feel confused. This young lady was unexpectedly perceptive, but her enthusiasm and sincerity just now were obviously not a disguise to amuse a clown like him with poor acting skills.
The old saying is true, a woman's heart is as deep as the sea... "I just don't want to prejudge anyone. That's rude, isn't it?" Toyokawa Shoko said as a matter of course: "Besides, if we don't talk a little more, how can I know what you are planning? What if there is real danger?" "You are very thoughtful." Ming Hai clapped his hands, then bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "It was my approach that was wrong. I'm sorry. But please believe me, I really have no ill will towards you." “…Really.” Staring at his forehead in silence, the girl couldn't help but sigh and mutter, "I thought I was just overthinking it, and couldn't help but reflect on myself guiltily. The result turned out to be like this..." Ming Hai is also reflecting on himself. He really thought he acted well, and his whole body exuded the innocent and harmless boyish feeling. As it turned out, the other party was well prepared and saw through his intentions but didn't say anything. He was testing his intentions from beginning to end. As expected, the impromptu acting was full of flaws and could not pass the test at all... “——Well, that’s it.” The girl suddenly closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, or as if she was re-examining every word he said to determine whether it was true or false, and making a final judgment based on this. Just when Ming Hai felt that the mission was almost over. The girl opened her clear and bright eyes, her solemn expression gradually bloomed, revealing the warm and joyful smile that she had shown not long ago. "Although this is the first time I've exchanged contact information with someone of the opposite sex... However, expanding your social circle is not a bad thing, so there's no reason to refuse." "Eh?" Ming Hai was stunned, not quite following her train of thought, and subconsciously asked, "Is it okay?" "Pfft..." Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help laughing out loud, and gently covered her mouth helplessly, "It was obviously you who asked for it, why are you still asking now?" "I thought……" "Did you think I would refuse? Narumi-kun, it is actually a great thing to have the courage to apologize and admit your mistakes." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and said with a gentle smile: "Although I don't know which of these words are true or false, I can feel that Ming Haijun really has no ill will towards me. In this case, what's the big deal if we just exchange contact information? As for what kind of person you are, can't we slowly get to know you in the future?" "Besides... unlike you, I'm not good at lying." He was a lot of fun to talk to, and I can't lie. Whether he was pretending or now when he honestly admitted his mistakes. Toyokawa Shoko thought this person was very interesting. He was the type that she rarely met at school or in her family. Not to mention that he seemed to be the only person of the opposite sex of the same age with whom she could get along so well. Making friends is not about how long you have known each other, but whether the two people are compatible - at least, that's what she thinks. "…Are you the Virgin Mary?" Looking at her calm and dignified smile, Ming Hai couldn't help but blurt out, and suddenly felt that he should go to hell for telling lies not long ago. Is this the second dimension?
How can there be such a good girl... "Holy, Holy Mother? Please stop kidding. It's not a good thing to praise someone too much! Instead of that, let's quickly exchange contact information... I really have something to do later." Toyokawa Shoko stiffened slightly, then lowered her head, as if trying to rummage through her bag for her cell phone, but her movements were so hasty that they made everything more obvious. Unfortunately, the girl's milky white skin still had a noticeable reddish tint. Ming Hai did not expose her, but silently took out his mobile phone and taught this "inexperienced" young lady how to use the Erwei code to add LINE friends. "I see... I wonder if Mu can do this." Staring at the extra name on her phone, Toyokawa Shoko nodded to herself and put away her phone. "Well, Narumi-kun, you won't call me for the third time, right?" Smiling, she made just the right tease. "Of course. I'll text you when I get back, let's chat when we have time." Ming Hai also completely let go of the heavy stone in his heart and replied with a relaxed smile. Although they had only known each other for a short time, the ten minutes of communication in the park made them feel like good friends, and they said goodbye to each other with smiles. Before leaving, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "By the way, Ming Hai-kun, you said that you separated from your parents and came to Neon to study alone..." "Oh, it's fake." "As expected." The girl nodded slightly, as expected. "Where did it start?" "I'm an orphan." Ming Hai said simply. "..." After a moment of silence, Toyokawa Shoko bowed her head slightly towards him, her delicate voice filled with guilt and apology, "Sorry, I won't ask any more questions." Ming Hai waved his hands, looking nonchalant: "It's nothing. Instead, I should apologize for telling you so many lies because of my own little thoughts." "...So, we're even." As if to dispel the heavy atmosphere she brought, Toyokawa Shoko laughed again, turned around and waved at him. "Next time we meet, please don't tell lies to me." "——Well, hello." The voice that said goodbye to him went against his will. Walking along the tree-lined path, stepping on the rough stone bricks. The sky-blue hair swept across her chest, and the gently swaying black headband flashed past the corner of her eyes. Amid the swaying shadows of the trees, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stopped and looked back into the distance. She looked at the empty tree, recalling that brief but wonderful encounter, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth in laughter.
"...He is such a strange liar." If you can become friends with such people, perhaps your future life will become more colorful, right? For some reason, the girl was looking forward to it. Volume 5: Chapter Chapter Can you trick Toyokawa Shoko into getting your hands on candy? It only takes about half an hour to get from Ikebukuro to Roppongi.
