Most people will always have troubles and want to show off their tempers and make arbitrary demands. It's not that Fukawa doesn't have such moods, it's just that she is better at restraint and empathy. When it comes to other people's issues, she often

I will analyze and judge from a more emotional perspective, put the relationship aside for the time being, and consider the other person's emotions more.

Even though she is not a good person, she also has her own way of dealing with things. She will also sternly refuse and act decisively against those requests and approaches with bad intentions.

She understands when to reveal her concern, and she also understands that taking advantage of the opportunity to be gentle is just a trap set by nature, and many times it will make things difficult for others. From this point of view, Fukawa is far more mature than Wu Geng.

After parting ways with Matsumura, Fukawa did not linger on the street and took the bus straight home. The shopping on the way was just an excuse to relieve Matsumura of some guilt. It had nothing to do with whether he was seen through, it was just a mature response from an adult.

It's just a way.

During the holiday a few days later, Fukawa and Matsumura visited several gift shops to select gifts, but it was difficult to find suitable ones. Matsumura was really picky, and on a psychological level, she could always find various reasons why they were inappropriate, or in other words, they were not suitable.

Excuse. Along the way, Matsumura always frowned, and Fukawa thought that she might not be worried about the gift, at least not entirely.

Finally, the two of them came to the natural stone shop in Shinjuku.

Fukagawa asked Watanabe for the address. After a little research on the Internet, he found that this shop is quite famous among high school girls. Most of the bracelets are made by appointment. Of course, finished products are also sold on site. The appointment process is not troublesome.

, Fukawa left his contact information on it.

"Is it Fukagawa who made a reservation online?"

The person who received them was a high school girl, wearing black-rimmed glasses and wearing a school uniform. She had no intention of avoiding suspicion and did not use honorifics when she first came up. Fortunately, Fukawa didn't care about this and didn't correct her.

The other party stood up with a stern expression and led the two of them around the store. Most of the items displayed on the glass counter were finished products, as well as various natural stones.

"Just select the natural stone and bracelet, leave your contact information and deposit, and we will notify you to come to the store to pick it up afterward."

She paused, as if recalling something else that she hadn't thought of.

"Oh, by the way. The shop owner is working on the finished product in the room inside. I can call her out if necessary."

"No, no, no, let's just take a look."

In the cabinet, there are small cards introducing various natural stones. The glass cabinet is also designed to be opened from the outside and items can be taken out for viewing. There is no need to disturb other people's work.

The girl nodded and stood back up, staring at the street outside the store without knowing what she was thinking.

It's good not to over-service, but isn't she afraid of leaving the guests in the cold?

Fukawa roughly learned from the website that the bracelets here are made according to the selected natural stone theme, and the production cycle takes at least a week. There is no door-to-door service. In other words, they will have to come to pick them up another day.

Perhaps because he had gone around and found no suitable gift, Matsumura in the store simply chose obsidian natural stone as the main material of the bracelet.

Fukawa thought about it for a moment. The sight of Shiraishi wearing an obsidian bracelet on his white wrist was quite refreshing.

"Mai Mai, don't you want it? I'll give it to you as a thank you gift for accompanying me out."

Fukawa shook her head and declined. She didn't like to wear anything on her hands. She felt uncomfortable and rarely wore watches.

After leaving Matsumura's contact information, Fukawa and Matsumura left.

The girl stood at the counter for a while. The door of the small room was pushed open from the inside. What came out was a woman in her thirties wearing glasses. Her long hair was slightly tied up with a light green patterned cloth belt.

Place it softly on your chest along your left shoulder.

"Ah, Zhongyuan, you're out."

The woman sighed with a gentle expression, "Xiao Xiang, how many times have I told you to use honorific titles when treating elders, why can't you change it."

Ayoshiki pushed up his glasses and said, "I'm used to it."

"This is not something you get used to. If you don't abide by social rules, you may suffer a lot in the future."

"Okay, I get it now."

"You kid." Zhongyuan's mother shook her head, knowing that the other party didn't listen to her words, so she stopped making more efforts.

The kid in front of me named Ayoshiki Hibiki had the same attitude when he first came to apply for a part-time job. Although he spoke a bit coldly, there was nothing wrong with his actions. He just liked to stare at various places in a daze and ask questions.

What was she thinking about? She just said that she was collecting materials. As for why she was collecting materials, Zhongyuan's mother felt that there was no need to ask more.

"Have you finished the order placed by the previous customer?"

"There's still one left to go, and it's basically completed. You can call the other party to inform them that they will pick it up in the next two days."

Ayushoku nodded, opened the book that recorded the contact information of the guests, and called them one by one to notify them. If they didn't answer, he sent an email.

Zhongyuan's mother looked at Ayoshi who was making the phone call and smiled. Her attitude towards the guests was a bit strange, but she didn't mean anything bad at all. Besides, she was about the same age as her own daughter, so she always seemed friendly to her.

The interviews at that time were also strange. There were many students who were planning to work part-time and had better conditions than Ayoshiki. However, when the other party went out, she would always subconsciously ask, do you know Nogizaka? Something like that. Only Ayoshiki

Knowing Nogizaka well, Zhongyuan’s mother chose her selfishly.

This store was temporarily lent to her by her relatives living in Tokyo. Zhongyuan's mother had no intention of making much money from the beginning, so she was not dissatisfied with Ayoshiki's somewhat cold temperament. She was just worried about her.

When Ayushoku put down the phone, Nakamoto's mother asked, "Xiaoxiang, do you know about the Nogizaka Midsummer Tour starting on August 16th?"

Ayushichi turned his head and thought for a moment, "My friend told me that if possible, I could come over and watch. Zhongyuan, your daughter will also appear, right?"

Nakamoto's mother did tell Ayoshiki that her daughter was working as an idol in Nogizaka, but she didn't elaborate on the details.

"Hey, your friend? Can she get a ticket?" Zhongyuan's mother was a little surprised, "My daughter never wants me to go to her live shows, and this ticket is not easy to buy, so I am worried."

"Well, my friend is in Nogizaka..." Ayoshiki paused very abruptly, as if a record player suddenly broke.

"I work in Nogizaka, so I can get tickets for the relationship seats." Ayoshiki continued.

"Relationship seats? Isn't this great?" Zhongyuan's mother hesitated, and finally spoke after two or three seconds, "Um...can you get a ticket for me? It doesn't matter if you pay more.

, if it’s troublesome, forget it…”

"It shouldn't matter. But the money won't be needed, and I've caused a lot of trouble for you Zhongyuan."

Unexpectedly, Ayoshiki agreed quite happily.

"real?"

"I will help you ask."

Zhongyuan's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It helped me a lot," she smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, my daughter is super reluctant for me to go to watch her live. Every time I mention it, she purses her lips and pretends not to listen.

He didn’t say anything. So until now, I have never seen that child singing and dancing on the stage as a member of Nogizaka.”

"Isn't this something that needs to be covered up?" Ayushichi felt confused.

Zhongyuan's mother leaned against the wall, folded her hands and fingers and placed them on her thighs. Her eyes stopped somewhere and she spoke in a slightly lonely voice.

"She...maybe she feels a little ashamed?"

"ashamed?"

"That child has had a strong sense of winning since she was a child and works hard to get what she wants. She is very smart and has the determination to achieve her goals, but things often don't develop as she wants. My sister's grades are much better than hers.

Her sister is one step ahead of her... Maybe she is also a little impatient. She is stuck in the same place with no hope of moving forward. So she is very afraid that her family will see her incompetence. When talking about her own affairs, she also

They only talk about the minutiae of the members’ lives and rarely talk about work-related topics.”

Zhongyuan's mother seemed to be talking to herself. She came back to her senses and smiled lightly at Anushi, "I'm sorry for telling you this, Xiaoxiang. Someone who is not familiar with you suddenly talked about the twisted mother-daughter relationship at home. You

Isn’t it very difficult?”

Ayushoku shook his head seriously, "No, it's a good experience to hear other people's stories."

"Xiao Xiang, you talk really strange sometimes."

Zhongyuan's mother sighed, "I really don't understand what girls your age are thinking."
