Chapter 292 Toyokawa Shoko's Gravity
Chapter 292 Toyokawa Shoko's Gravity
Toyokawa Shoko felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that Bai Qiu had chosen her in front of Nagasaki Sosei and Metis.
This brought a touch of comfort to her otherwise heavy heart.
If Bai Qiu had gone with Su Shi and Mo Tisi just now, she really wouldn't know what to do.
He could only leave alone, looking disheveled.
Ultimately, Nagasaki Motoyo is Bai Qiu's girlfriend, while she can only be considered a friend, A, at best.
But what's next? Where do we go next?
Toyokawa Shoko hadn't quite figured it out yet.
According to her original plan, if she successfully confessed her feelings at the karaoke bar, she would first take Bai Qiu out to eat to fill their stomachs.
That evening, Bai Qiu would take her to the arcade, and they would also watch a movie.
The arcade, because Bai Qiu said He Mu went there last time, and she had never been to a place like an arcade before, so she wanted to go too.
However, now that she has heard that Bai Qiu already has two girlfriends, even if Toyokawa Shoko goes to the arcade again, she no longer has the mood to enjoy it.
Still holding Bai Qiu's hand, Toyokawa Shoko was unwilling to let go, but she didn't know what to say.
She glanced furtively at Bai Qiu, a crazy thought rising in her mind.
Toyokawa Shoko took Bai Qiu home.
……
As Toyokawa Shoko took out her key, unlocked the door, and walked into the house step by step, Bai Qiu did not follow her in.
He stood at the door, a hint of hesitation in his voice: "Xiangzi, shall I go back now?"
Bai Qiu thought that since Xiangzi had chosen to go home, their date should be over for today.
As for the confession between the two, Xiangzi didn't mention it again on the way back from the karaoke bar.
Silence does not always mean consent.
He wouldn't abandon Xiangzi, nor would he force Xiangzi to make a choice; instead, he should give Xiangzi time.
Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Bai Qiu intently. Her tightly clenched lips finally parted, and she reached out and grabbed Bai Qiu tightly.
"No, please don't go."
Both her pale gold eyes and her voice seemed to carry a hint of pleading.
It seems that if Bai Qiu were to say no at this moment, Toyokawa Shoko would suffer unspeakable harm.
"Then I'm coming in."
How could he refuse such a Xiangzi? Anyway, there was still plenty of time. Bai Qiu proved his point with his actions.
Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly, her expression, which had looked like she was about to cry, becoming less strained.
However......
To Bai Qiu's surprise, he stayed until nearly 11 p.m.
If he doesn't go home by now, he might miss the last bus.
My phone has been receiving frequent messages from Nagasaki Motoyo and Motis asking me questions.
After arriving at Xiangzi's house, he and Xiangzi first used their mobile phones to buy groceries and have them delivered to their door, then cooked dinner together.
Afterwards, Bai Qiu sat with Xiangzi on the sofa and watched a movie on her laptop.
During this time, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have temporarily forgotten what Bai Qiu had confessed.
She transformed into Bai Xiang's form, just like when she lived with Bai Qiu, even more so than before, becoming softer and more gentle.
This made Bai Qiu feel a little uncomfortable, completely unaware of what Xiangzi was thinking.
Not only smiles can shift, but complex expressions can too.
Toyokawa Shoko watched the movie with peace of mind, occasionally chatting with Bai Qiu beside her about the plot.
Bai Qiu's expression gradually became complicated.
Finally, I glanced at Toyokawa Shoko, whose expression was relatively relaxed, with a slight smile on her round cheeks, as if she were immersed in the movie.
Bai Qiu couldn't sit still any longer.
The more normal Toyokawa Shoko's behavior seemed today, the more abnormal Bai Qiu, who had recently studied psychology, found it.
He even began to wonder if Xiangzi might have developed a second personality as well.
Therefore, Bai Qiu believed that Xiangzi was definitely suppressing his emotions, and he didn't know when he would suddenly explode.
This was his responsibility. To prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, Bai Qiu called out: "Xiangzi!"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head and gave Bai Qiu a puzzled smile.
Bai Qiu's expression grew more serious. He then reached out and placed his hand on Xiangzi's shoulder, saying softly:
"Xiangzi, I know I've done something wrong."
If you're really angry or upset, you can yell at me, or even punch me a couple of times.
Toyokawa Shoko paused, bit her lower lip, and her smile faded slightly.
Does Bai Qiu think she's the kind of girl who likes to breathe in air?
She could never breathe on Bai Qiu, whom she always thought supported her... Would she still be human if she did?
“…I won’t hit you.” Toyokawa Shoko stared at Bai Qiu with wide eyes and a stubborn look in her eyes.
“But Xiangzi, you’re acting very strangely right now,” Bai Qiu said helplessly. “I hope you won’t suppress your emotions.”
"me......"
Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth, wanting to say that she didn't, but she couldn't say it. She was suppressing her emotions, but she also had other plans.
Toyokawa Shoko suddenly reached out and stopped the movie, then asked, "What number am I?"
Bai Qiu was stunned, "...3."
The third... It sounds like a third party. Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but lower her head and pout unhappily.
Seeing this, Bai Qiu spoke up and said, "But Xiangzi, in my heart there is no distinction between us, and my feelings for you are absolutely genuine."
Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but look up at Bai Qiu and ask:
"Bai Qiu, what about Su Shi and Ai Yin? Do you know...?"
"what do you know?"
Toyokawa Shoko looked at Bai Qiu with a complicated expression, and asked at the same time, "Do you know the other person? And do you like so many people?"
Bai Qiu nodded somewhat matter-of-factly and said, "Yes, I know. Ai Yin, Su Shi, and I were also honest with each other before we confirmed our relationship."
On this point alone, Bai Qiu was quite confident; he hadn't hidden anything from or deceived anyone.
Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko's golden pupils couldn't help but tremble and shrink slightly.
She had previously suspected that Bai Qiu was secretly two-timing Su Shi and Ai Yin...
So they actually knew each other? And they even agreed to be together?
Toyokawa Shoko's face showed a look of bewilderment and surprise.
Why! ?
What were Su Shi and the others thinking? How could they agree to something like this? Is she the abnormal one?
Or is it that my feelings for Bai Qiu aren't as deep as theirs?
Shoko Toyokawa's throat moved slightly, and she unconsciously swallowed. She couldn't help but strongly deny the thought in her heart.
No, definitely not.
"Did you confess your feelings to them first, or did they confess to you first?"
Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but ask further.
She couldn't accept it at first and couldn't help but cower, but now that it's being talked about, she can't wait to know everything.
"The first person to confess to me was Su Shi, then Aine. I rejected them at first, but then some things happened, and then..."
Bai Qiu truthfully explained the situation to Xiangzi.
At first, Toyokawa Shoko listened with some curiosity and trepidation, but as she listened, her face gradually became filled with shock.
Their confessions came so early, and the key point is that Bai Qiu had previously rejected Su Shi and Ai Yin.
If she had been able to put aside her pride sooner, not moved out, and expressed her feelings to Bai Qiu earlier, wouldn't this have been avoided?
Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but clench her fingers tightly, a sense of self-blame and frustration rising in her heart.
"Bai, Bai Qiu, would you like to stay here tonight?"
Then Bai Qiu heard Toyokawa Shoko suddenly whisper.
A question mark seemed to appear above Bai Qiu's head as he looked at Toyokawa Shoko, whose face was gradually turning red, with a puzzled expression.
Isn't this a bit wrong?
Seeing that Bai Qiu did not answer, Toyokawa Shoko decided to go all out and said, "Bai Qiu, stay at my house tonight."
"Bai Qiu, you said today is all mine..."
With a low and somewhat suppressed tone, Toyokawa Shoko murmured something.
Bai Qiu choked a little and couldn't help but glance at the time; it was indeed not past 12 o'clock yet.
"Xiangzi, I'll stay."
……
Bai Qiu wasn't really against staying at Xiangzi's house, since he and Xiangzi liked each other.
What Bai Qiu didn't expect was that Xiangzi let him sleep in the bed.
Xiangzi's bed wasn't big; it was fine for one person, but a bit cramped for two.
Moreover, Toyokawa Shoko pushed Shiraaki up first before she climbed onto the bed.
Bai Qiu was lying in the innermost position, her back slightly against the wall.
Holding my breath, I lay on the soft bed, but an even softer sensation came from beside me, along with the fragrance of Xiangzi's shower gel.
Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was Xiangzi thinking?
And Xiangzi asked her to sleep with him. Did Xiangzi agree to that?
The lights were turned off, and in the darkness, Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi had only been lying down for a short while.
At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly got up. Just as Bai Qiu was about to say something, he felt a pressure on his body.
Xiangzi lay on top of him, his slightly cold hands cupping his face tightly.
"Xiangzi, you?" Bai Qiu's eyes widened slightly as she asked in surprise.
With her sky-blue hair hanging down on both sides, Toyokawa Shoko slowly lowered her head.
"Bai Qiu, I like you. My feelings for you are no less than those for any of them."
"absolute......"
The voice was soft, but it was full of firmness.
At the same time, before Bai Qiu could speak, Toyokawa Shoko's forehead was already touching Bai Qiu's.
"Well......"
Bai Qiu uttered some indistinct syllables, which were immediately cut off by Toyokawa Shoko.
To be honest, Xiangzi's kissing skills were rather clumsy.
Bai Qiu felt that Xiangzi was biting him a little too hard.
But he, a grown man, couldn't very well say something as spineless as, "Xiangzi, you bit me too hard, can you be gentler?"
He could still bear this pain, enduring it with a bittersweet feeling.
Bai Qiu began to slowly guide Toyokawa Shoko.
Seemingly sensing Bai Qiu's cooperation, Toyokawa Shoko felt a slight joy, and her movements gradually became gentler.
But it didn't last long. In the darkness, realizing something, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She wondered to herself, why is Bai Qiu so skilled at this?
There was no need to ask the question; Toyokawa Shoko guessed the answer in the next second.
Then, as if to retaliate and vent her emotions, Toyokawa Shoko began to thrust even harder at Shiraaki...
She removed one hand from Bai Qiu's face and slipped it under the covers.
However, at this moment, feeling the strange sensation at her waist, Bai Qiu immediately opened her eyes.
What is Xiangzi going to do?
He quickly reached for his belt and pressed down on Toyokawa Shoko's restless hand that was trying to undo it.
Bai Qiu tilted her head slightly, and taking advantage of the moment, quickly spoke:
"Xiangzi, calm down."
Putting aside the fact that Xiangzi isn't his girlfriend yet, even if she were, there's no need to do something like this on their very first day together, right?
Bai Qiu didn't want Feng Chuan Xiangzi to do something she would regret because of a momentary impulse.
He couldn't help but think that, considering Toyokawa Shoko's personality, she would want to do such a thing with him at this time.
Could it be that she plans to cut ties with him completely after just one night?
Toyokawa Shoko was taken aback, and her hand naturally felt the force of Bai Qiu stopping her.
This prevented her from taking any further steps.
A wave of bittersweetness welled up from her heart, rushing straight to her nose and mouth, and Toyokawa Shoko's eyes uncontrollably filled with a layer of crystal-clear mist.
"If Su Shi and the others can do it, why can't I?"
Looking at Bai Qiu with a hurt expression, Xiangzi spoke in a soft, unusually aggrieved voice.
Bai Qiu initially felt pity for Xiangzi upon seeing him like this, but she was suddenly stunned.
He asked with a puzzled look, "...Xiangzi, have you misunderstood something?"
"My relationship with Su Shi and the others hasn't progressed to that point..."
Bai Qiu told Toyokawa Shoko in a somewhat helpless tone.
"Is that so?" Toyokawa Shoko sniffed hard to stop the tears from falling.
Bai Qiu nodded firmly and couldn't help but sigh, "Of course!"
Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth slightly in surprise, but secretly she was delighted that Bai Qiu hadn't done "that" with them yet.
Seeing the astonished expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face, Bai Qiu continued in a tone of joint instruction:
"Xiangzi, you're being too impulsive."
Hearing Bai Qiu say that, Toyokawa Shoko retorted unwillingly, "No, I wasn't acting impulsively."
"I am... serious."
Bai Qiu lightly patted her head, shook her head speechlessly, and said, "And you say you're not impulsive?"
If I don't do this...
Toyokawa Shoko raised her flushed cheeks, her slightly furrowed brows as she stubbornly looked at Bai Qiu, her moist lips hesitantly uttering a weak sound.
"Bai Qiu, you don't want me anymore? I'm afraid of losing you..."
Toyokawa Shoko knew that she had an awkward personality and couldn't let go of her pride. It was only after meeting Shirai Aki that she felt a little better.
She was unwilling to just give up and hand Bai Qiu over to them; on the contrary, she was unwilling to lose Bai Qiu at all and wanted to keep her.
So he thought of this way... to win over Bai Qiu and keep her by his side.
Bai Qiu opened his mouth in astonishment, but ultimately decided against giving any grand pronouncements.
He reached out and hugged Xiangzi tightly, pressing his chin lightly against her petite shoulder, then whispered in her ear:
"Who told you to think that way? How could I not want Xiangzi? On the contrary, I have already decided that I will not let you leave my side easily."
The voice was full of firmness.
Feeling the warmth of the white autumn leaves, Toyokawa Shoko smiled genuinely, and the unease in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Okay, it's settled then."
She squeezed herself tightly into Bai Qiu's arms.
After a while, Xiangzi’s somewhat nervous voice rang out in the dark room.
"Bai Qiu...can we continue?"
