Mu finally nodded in agreement.
Anyway, we can optimize the other party later.
Let's make do with this for now and get the band's basic structure sorted out first.
"Hey! It actually works! I like you guys~ How about I call you Mumu?"
"..."
"Sister, I regret it. Let's kick her out."
"Oh dear? Don't regret it, Mumu!"
"Don't call me that."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Ningzi, who was sitting in the middle, managed to control the two little ones with one hand each.
"You two, stop messing around."
"Ah."
"Tsk..."
"Youtian Temple."
"To!"
This was the first time Ruomai had been called by her name correctly, and she was quite excited.
Being around the enigmatic Ningzi always sparked her curiosity.
Whenever she managed to extract something useful or unheard of from Ningzi, Ruomai would feel satisfied and pleased.
XX Ningzi is truly an interesting woman.
"Please be thoughtful. I'm not entirely confident in your skills, but I don't think these things are very important. Remember to practice hard, and I'll let you know when there are any events."
Of course, if I accidentally forget about you, well... don't blame me.
"Alright, Ningning! But I have a question I'd like to ask."
Mu remained wary of Ruomai, like a blue cat protecting its food from a purple cat that suddenly appeared and tried to steal it.
Go, kill her, Mu... then twist her head off and put it in the cup.
"!!!"
It seemed like she was hallucinating. Mu's head was throbbing, but she still tried her best to listen to Ruomai's words.
Today was supposed to be a day for Ningzi to be alone with him, but this guy actually wanted to take away his precious time...
"Ahem, I just want to know your full name, Ningningzi. After all, both Mumu and I gave our full names, but Ningningzi is so stingy and won't say anything!"
Ruomai puffed out her cheeks, trying her best to disguise herself as a high school girl throwing a tantrum.
"Pfft, is that all?"
Ningzi waved her hand dismissively.
"Toyokawa, but I don't really like it when people call me that."
"!!!"
Wakaba, Toyokawa...
Yutenji Wakame's eyes widened.
She realized that she seemed to have come into contact with an extraordinary circle.
One is a long-established wealthy family entrenched in Tokyo, the other is a rising entertainment tycoon with two big stars in the family…
Ruomai knew this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, a chance to make a fortune and never have to worry about money again.
Make sure you seize this opportunity!
[Toyokawa Ningko! I'll stick to you even if I have to!]
……
"Toyokawa Ningko, let me stick to you a little longer..."
Chihaya Aine, a legendary young woman who has returned from studying in England, hides under the covers and grumbles about the bad woman who won't reply to her messages.
She had been messaging Ningzi since 5 p.m. yesterday.
At first, I sent one message every five minutes, but later, after some hesitation, I sent one message every hour.
Until early this morning…
She stared at the large number of unread messages on the screen and fell into self-doubt.
After midnight... she didn't dare send any more messages.
I just keep turning on new message notifications and scrolling through videos to pass the time while waiting for messages.
But it's already 2 PM.
Toyokawa Ningko didn't even bother to look at her message.
Have I been blocked?
Aiyin wasn't wearing pajama bottoms or pajamas; she was completely naked, curled up in her blanket.
Outside, the sunlight was perfect, streaming into the house through the skylight in the roof, making Ai Yin's anxious face look deathly pale.
Chihaya Aine repeatedly rolled over, dropping her phone only to awkwardly pick it up again.
She carefully reflected on whether she had done something wrong that caused Ningzi to ignore her.
"No way! My childhood friend, the only person I can contact, has cut me off... I don't want this to happen!"
Finally, having no other choice, Ai Yin opened her browser, thought for a moment, and then typed in:
How can I check if I've been blocked or muted?
"No, no, Xiao Ning would never do that."
Aiyin quickly deleted the search results she had entered and threw her phone away again.
bang-
The phone slid vertically into the trash can, making a crisp, mournful sound.
Left with no other choice, Ai-yin crawled over and retrieved the phone.
"Ugh, why haven't they replied yet? It's been almost 24 hours!"
During those 24 hours, Ai Yin couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep soundly, and had no energy to do anything.
If I had known this would happen... I would have just stayed in England and let it rot.
At least in England, she knew that her loneliness stemmed from having no friends, while in her hometown of Tokyo, she discovered that her loneliness came from having friends who didn't care about her.
Having to be alone most of the time, the only thing Aine managed to do was successfully be alone.
"I actually thought I could overcome all suffering..."
Aine buried her head in the soft pillow and continued talking to herself:
"Only now do I realize that all hardships can defeat me..."
Ch148. Welcome to Wakaba's House
"We're leaving. Do you want to stay here?"
"Oh? So early? It's only two o'clock. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Yutenji Wakana put away her phone and looked at Ningzi Kazumi with a surprised expression.
They stood at the doorway, looking at Ruomai with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"I think you probably still have things to do."
"Cough cough."
Doesn't Toyokawa Ningko understand this woman?
Although they had only met a few times, Ningzi had already thoroughly understood this Miss Yutenji, inside and out.
Home address, occupation, clothing style, personality, financial situation, income...
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that the other party was Ring who followed him, nor was it because they liked music that they came to rehearse.
They're here to shoot footage, right?
It just so happens that the video she posted two days ago was a record of herself playing drums.
"Goodbye, I have to go on a date with my little sister."
Goodbye, Miss Yutenji.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Ruomai was really unwilling to let the two go like this; she genuinely hoped that the three of them could become closer.
As long as I become friends with them, even if not best friends, my future career will definitely be smooth sailing!
With her brain racing, Yutenji Wakame noticed the translucent little bag in Toyokawa Ningko's hand in just a second.
Is this a snow globe?
"Yes, isn't it cute?"
"So cute..."
Ruomai drew out the last syllable, giving herself more time to think.
Hurry up, brain! Come up with more great ideas! Even burning out is better than letting two ducks fly away from your mouth!
Snow globe... Snow globe... Got it!
"I remembered the snow globe my mother gave me... Sigh..."
With a long sigh, Ruomai's eyes lost their luster. She leaned against the piano, and the keys produced a series of sounds.
"W-what?"
Toyokawa Ningko's pupils contracted.
So, her mother also gave her a snow globe?!
Ruomai's expression was calm, as if she had let go of the past.
She looked up at the ceiling, avoiding Ning Zihe's expression, but knew she had succeeded.
This is a small gamble, but the results will definitely be good!
“My mother died when I was very young, in a car accident… My father raised me. He was a good man, but he was an alcoholic.”
“One day, when I came home, I found my father already drunk. When he saw me, he suddenly became furious and started to act crazy. Unfortunately, I became the target of his beating.”
"Ah... I'm alright."
Mu offered quiet words of comfort, though she didn't know what comfort she could offer, she still wanted to express her concern.
“Not very good,” Romay shook her head, denying Mu’s words. “He smashed the only memento my mother left me, my snow globe, and you would never want to know where he smashed it.”
"where?"
Ningzi had doubts about the story, but when she noticed that Ruomai's usual lively style had changed and she seemed to have a deep-seated hatred, as if she had experienced the annihilation of her clan, she put aside her doubts.
What a sad story. Ningzi can see herself in the story.
But why does it feel... a bit fake, family?
"it's here."
Ruomai lifted her long hair at the back of her head, then quickly let it fall back down as if afraid of being seen clearly.
He hit me on the back of the head with a snow globe, and I passed out... When I woke up, I found the snow globe that had bounced off was shattered all over the floor. Sigh...
"..."
The story was so heavy that it silenced Ningzi and silenced Mu.
"Never mind, sigh, you can have this, Chengtian Temple."
"It's Yutenji! Cough cough... Is it really for me?!"
