Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Mu looked up at Yanming and pouted, "There are even fewer now, Yanming, you alone take up more than half."

Yanming felt ashamed.

You can't blame him for this, can you?

Although Xiao Xiang has indeed become more and more clingy to me lately.

"But after that, didn't the other members of the band also become Mu's friends?"

Yanming tried to get her to think about it from a different perspective.

"Hmm... but I don't understand them."

Mu was well aware of what Yanming was saying. "Compared to Xiang, I have absolutely no idea how to get along and talk with other people."

Of the three Crychic members besides Xiangzi, only Su Shi took the initiative to approach her and was willing to give her his attention and tenderness.

Because of this incident... Mu is very grateful to Su Shi and wants to continue being friends with her.

Only Mu knew how much Su Shi cared about Crychic, which is why he stayed by Su Shi's side even after the group disbanded.

...But even Su Shi, who had been so gentle to her, became a complete stranger after that.

Su Shi is using himself.

She was aware of her relationship with Xiang, so she wanted to use her connections to reconnect Crychic's fate.

Ke Mu was neither a messenger nor a fool. On the contrary, her inner world was more active than anyone else's. In addition, Su Shi was not wary of her, which made Mu the first person to realize Su Shi's true nature.

But even if she noticed, what could she do?

Go and expose Su Shi, using her usual blunt language to accuse her of selfishness? And then just watch her break down?

No, Mu absolutely cannot do that.

If only she could be as slow and clumsy as a puppet... knowing nothing, not having to think, just following instructions to gain attention and affection...

"Xiang said that my way of speaking was too sharp and straightforward... but I was just expressing my thoughts and didn't mean to hurt anyone..."

"I know that, and I can also see that you are a kind and good child."

Yanming couldn't help but gently place his hand on Ruoye Mu's head, "How could Mu possibly want to hurt someone?"

"The person who brought me to Nagasaki-kun that day was you, Mutsu. Even though you couldn't express your concern, you still chose to take action."

"The band broke up... Caught between his childhood sweetheart and his friends, he was too kind to make the decision to leave. In the end, he silently suffered alone, but even so, he was unwilling to say a single hurtful word to his bandmates."

"This is my imagined and speculative version of 'Wakaba Mutsumi,' I wonder how similar she is to you now?"

In the phrase.

There were no mistakes.

Every description reflects Mu's current most authentic state.

"Yanming, how...how did you figure that out?"

Mu's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened, a sign of her utter shock.

Yanming smiled, knowing he had hit the nail on the head: "I didn't tell you, did I? I'm very good at judging people."

"Wow, that's amazing...unbelievable...I want to learn...Yanming, I want to learn this!"

Mu, somewhat incoherently, grabbed Yanming's hand that was resting on her head.

If she could do what Yanming did, some things... she wouldn't mess them up anymore...

"This is not a skill that can be mastered immediately through learning, because it relies more on experience and knowledge."

Yanming neither refused nor agreed, "Xiao Mu should start by learning conversation."

"Um……"

Seeing that she agreed, Yanming also began to think about it.

Is it about teaching "expression"?

However, this child's problems are not limited to his expression; he also has varying degrees of deficiencies in other areas.

Mu Xue's motivation for speaking is "to make everyone like him."

Being liked is not an easy thing; it's not enough to just be good at talking, you also need to have the corresponding emotional intelligence.

To put it more precisely, it's about "the ability to empathize".

"Let's start with a situational question to test your understanding, Xiao Mu, I have a question for you."

Yanming made up his mind and said, "If one day, Xiaoxiang comes to you crying, seeking your comfort, what would be your first reaction, or what would you say?"

"Xiang found me crying..."

Mu fell into deep thought, the cucumber he was eating, now only half-eaten, stopped at his mouth.

Yanming nodded to himself.

Good focus, you got into the zone so quickly.

Muzi can be taught.

After a long silence, Mu said with a serious expression, "Xiang never comes to me when she's sad... She just keeps it all bottled up inside. So this Xiang is fake, an alien or a spy in disguise. The real Xiang must be locked up."

Yanming: "?"

Are we talking about the same thing?

Why did the art style suddenly change?

However... Mutsumi's answer wasn't entirely wrong. If such a thing were to actually happen, there would indeed be a very high probability that it would go as Mutsumi described.

Is this the true value of a childhood sweetheart relationship?

They know everything about the other person...

"Yanming, how is it?"

Mu seemed a little proud of his answer.

Yanming sighed, still unable to bring himself to criticize her: "It's alright... but what if this is really Xiao Xiang? What would Mu do?"

Chapter 107 If humans can't do it, let cats do it.

"I can……"

Mu imagined the scene for a moment and said, "I would probably comfort Xiang...?"

Yanming pressed his advantage, saying, "Very good, so how exactly should we comfort her?"

Mu frowned.

Mu is thinking.

Mu was thinking very intently.

Mu has unraveled the mysteries of the cucumber universe...

Mu reached a conclusion.

“I will tell Xiang that she looks like she’s about to break down.”

Mu answered honestly.

Her idea is simple.

In Mu's mind, Xiangzi is a very emotional and proud child. In Xiangzi's eyes, crying is a very weak act, so she should just be overwhelmed by her emotions. At this time, as long as she is told the truth about her situation, Xiangzi will quickly return to her usual self.

"Snapped."

Yanming slapped his face.

Seeing this, Mu tilted his head: "Yanming, what's wrong?"

"I am fine."

Although he said he was fine, Yanming's mindset was actually wavering a little.

Xiao Mu seems to be exceptionally gifted in the art of language... Even though she doesn't mean it that way, her unintentional remarks, even if they're just a fleeting thought, can accurately hit someone's sore spot.

Yanming dares to guarantee that if such a thing were to happen between Xiangzi and Mu, and Mu were to respond according to his current thoughts...

That scene would be absolutely explosive.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's not Xiaomu's fault, it's just that I took it for granted."

Yanming covered his head, only then realizing that his thinking had gone astray.

As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Xiao Mu understands Xiao Xiang better than she does, that much is undeniable.

In fact, she understood even better than Xiao Xiang herself what "Toyokawa Shoko" truly needed.

Xiangzi "hopes" that she can overcome her weakness, so that Mu will interact and talk with her in the way she "hopes".

Although it was done out of consideration for Xiangzi, if it wasn't explained clearly beforehand, it could easily be seen as condescending.

This is not Mu's fault. Her actions were all for the benefit of others and stemmed from genuine goodwill.

However... whenever Mu does or says something according to her own ideas, the final result is often quite different from the scene she imagined.

Over time, Mu became "unable to speak".

But in reality, most people are simply "afraid to speak up."

She believes that as long as she speaks out, someone will always be hurt and saddened by her words. Rather than that, it's better not to have her own ideas in the first place and just be a mouthpiece that won't be disliked.

Mu can still say whatever comes to mind, but Yanming is a little scared. She's afraid that one day, after suffering a blow, she will become a child who "won't say anything no matter what she thinks."

That would be a tragedy.

Since there is still a chance to salvage the situation, we cannot allow this tragedy to continue.

“I finally understand your needs and concerns, Xiao Mu.”

Yanming lowered his hand, a confident smile on his face. "Coincidentally, I know a friend who is a master at 'speaking frankly.' When we get back, I'll introduce her to you. She's more suitable for your needs than I am."

Mu's thinking logic is sound, but what Mu lacks is the ability to translate his ideas into the right actions in the right way.

And when it comes to someone who is not only highly capable in action but also as simple in their thinking and logic... Yanming happens to have such a close friend.

Or rather, the person under guardianship.

"……who?"

"I don't know if you still remember, but when we had that live show, the white-haired girl with the guitar on the far right of the stage, her name was Kaoru Nai, and she was a cat."

Let humans and cats learn to talk.

Yanming was not crazy at all; on the contrary, he was extremely clear-headed.

"I remember the cat; it was very cute, and it was also very good at playing the guitar."

The moment cats were mentioned, Mu immediately recalled them.

Cuteness is part of it, but what makes Mu remember this cat even more is that it's not an ordinary cat.

Yoro Nai is a cat who can play the guitar.

Mu also plays the guitar.

"Yes, that's the child."

Yanming held up three fingers. "Learn from her... no, I shouldn't say learn, but rather observe her speaking habits closely. In about three weeks, Mu, you'll be able to graduate."

In terms of simplicity of mind, Lena is far superior to Mutsu.

Lena is the type who speaks her mind directly, and she's very free. One second she's doing one thing, and the next she might be doing something else. No one can figure out what's going on in her little head.

But despite her free and simple nature, Lena has never hurt anyone with her blunt way of speaking. On the contrary, everyone who has been with her genuinely loves this straightforward little girl.

"I'll remember that, Lena."

Mu was inspired by Yanming's confident words, but because her true form was a cucumber, her excitement was not outwardly apparent. "Yanming, where can I find her?"

"Uh……"
