[You are her support, and she can only say these words to you. 】

[There is light in her eyes when she looks at you. 】

[You kissed the side of her face and agreed with her idea instead of denying it. 】

[Ocha High School is an excellent high school. As long as you work hard, there is no problem in getting admitted to a good state-run university in Tokyo. 】

[But she still has no confidence. Her academic performance can only be considered above average in the class. Even though there are still two years left, she still can't tell whether she can successfully complete this goal. 】

[You noticed her thoughts, reached out and turned on the light, then grabbed her palm with your hand, and traced her palm with your fingers. You watched her face slowly turn red while she was lying on her side, and you wanted to put it away in embarrassment. He took his hand back and smiled. 】

[You tell her that if she can get into a good state-run university, you will give her a reward. 】

[When you said this, your tone was ambiguous and you looked at her face intently. 】

[This made her think a lot, and she couldn't help but look forward to the 'reward' you mentioned. 】

[The original lack of confidence in my heart was replaced by the expectation in my heart. 】

"award?"

This word is so tempting.

So much so that in reality, Nanxiang Shi, who was lying next to Nishiki Chishu, couldn't help but think about it.

But he was never a man who gave in to temptation.

Not to mention that Miss Nishikiki is sleeping next to him now.

Therefore, after Nanxiang Shi just thought about it for a while, he shook his head and threw aside the messy thoughts in his head.

[Your encouragement is undoubtedly useful. 】

[After returning from the campground, Matsuzaka Granose began tutoring with the finishing band. 】

[The original tutoring task for four people has been increased to five people. 】

[Although you have the ability to teach and educate people, you are still too busy sometimes under one-on-one tutoring. 】

[Fortunately at this time, Futaba Rio and Shinjo Akane came forward and offered to help share the tutoring tasks. 】

"Futaba Rio and Shinjo Akane?"

This line of simulated words jumped out, and Nanxiang Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed...

Why didn't he think of that?

After these days of tutoring, the overall academic ability of the band has improved.

However, the level of the two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, Goto Kazuri and Yamada Ryo, is only improving slowly.

This made Nanxiang feel exhausted both physically and mentally.

Although all this is happening in the simulation.

But in reality, he can indeed ask Futaba Rio and Shinjo Akane for help.

This way it can also take a lot of pressure off of him.

After all, Futaba Rio is a genius girl in the science department and has the qualifications to enter a research institute.

The other Akane Shinjo was second in grade after him.

Together, these two have to tutor Ichiri Goto and Ryo Yamada, the two sleeping dragons and phoenixes...

Isn’t that easy to get?

Perfect!

Nanxiang Shi nodded with great satisfaction.

This is probably what is called girlshelpgirls.

But the simulation in front of me continues.

Nanxiang Shi could only put this unexpected gain aside temporarily.

[With the help of Akane Shinjo and Rio Futaba, your original pressure of ending the band and tutoring Matsuzaka Sugar has been relieved a lot. 】

[This also gives you time to think about other things. 】

[Matsuzaka Sugar can only rely on herself to take the exams. You can only play a supporting role at most. 】

[You can't change the other person's academic path, but you can pave the way for her after the examination, for example, create better hardware conditions for her future. 】

[You know, even if you are admitted to a good state-run university, the annual college tuition you need to pay is no longer what the Matsuzaka family can afford. 】

[After Sayuri Matsuzaka broke off all contact with those unscrupulous men, her financial resources were only partially earned from working outside the home. 】

[Now she not only has to bear the current high school tuition fees of Matsuzaka Sugar, but also the possible college tuition fees of Matsuzaka Sugar in the future. 】

[Such a financial burden is too difficult for a woman in her late forties to bear. 】

[For this reason, you found the izakaya where Matsuzaka Sayuri works at night. 】

[This is an izakaya that can be seen everywhere in Tokyo, with yellowish lights and lanterns hanging outside. 】

[The cold wind pushed you behind you, and you opened the sliding door of the izakaya and lifted the navy blue curtain. 】

[A loud noise came from behind the door curtain. 】

[You follow the sound and find that it is a customer pestering a female waiter with a navy blue headscarf tied on her head. 】

[Probably because he was drunk, the other person couldn't speak clearly, and even raised his hand and threw it hard at the waiter's face. 】

[It wasn’t until the headscarf fell that you discovered that the waiter who was beaten was actually Matsuzaka Sayuri with cyan-purple hair. 】

[The corner of her mouth was slapped with blood, and her hair was grabbed by the other party. 】

[You felt angry in an instant and stepped forward to stop the drunken and crazy guest. At the same time, you also gave the guest a good beating. 】

[The body you have trained over a long period of time can easily cope with a middle-aged man whose body has been emptied by alcohol. 】

[Then you used your status as a minor and used alcohol to cause trouble, saying that you would call the police directly. 】

[The drunken and crazy guest and the well-behaved and innocent-looking underage male high school student, it is obvious who the police in charge of mediating will believe. 】

[Using such words, you not only beat the other person up legitimately, but also extorted a large sum of money from him. In the end, the other person could only curse and leave. 】

[Everything after that fell into place. 】

[After the other party leaves, you still choose to call the police directly. 】

[The manager of the izakaya saw that you and Matsuzaka Sayuri were acquaintances, so he arranged for you and Matsuzaka Sayuri to enter the employee lounge together. 】

[Sayuri Matsuzaka is a little embarrassed to see you looking so embarrassed. 】

[You wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, and looked a little disappointed after handing over the cold compress bag. 】

In the staff lounge.

The lights are calm.

There was a mess outside, and the owner of the izakaya was cleaning up the mess.

Nanxiang Shi was sitting on the right, and Sayuri Matsuzaka, who had taken off her headscarf, was sitting next to him.

"I never expected... that Nanxiang-kun would see such an unseemly side of me... I am really unqualified as an aunt."

Applying an ice pack to the corners of her bleeding and swollen mouth, Matsuzaka Sayuri laughed a little embarrassedly.

"...Aunt Sayuri, do you often encounter this kind of thing?"

Looking at her expression, Nan Xiangshi turned his head and asked with concern.

"Ah...I don't see you often."

Matsuzaka Sayuri shook her head: "Although there are indeed some drunken and crazy guests, as long as they are properly persuaded, they will leave."

When she said this, her voice paused obviously.

Then he continued to speak.

"It's just...that person just now...is an acquaintance I knew before."

An acquaintance from the past.

As soon as these words were spoken, Nanxiang Shi already understood the cause and course of the matter.

An acquaintance of Matsuzaka Sayuri's past.

In other words, he was the kind of man she would have brought home.

Probably because she couldn't accept Sayuri Matsuzaka's sudden change.

That's why she was making a scene in the izakaya where she worked.

"What should we do next...?"

Sayuri Matsusaka murmured to herself: "Obviously, Sugar-chan also needs tuition...and then something like this happened...it seems like the job here is about to be lost."

Yes.

The drunken guest just now said a lot about her past.

Although the owner of the izakaya did not speak.

But it was obvious that he had already planned not to let her continue to work here.

Sayuri Matsuzaka was a little confused.

She has clearly made up her mind to change for Matsuzaka Sugar, and she is working hard towards this goal.

But her past that she couldn't bear to look back on was still like a dark sting, a sharp knife that cut through her flesh and blood, like a dead soul, haunting her all the time. These dead souls laughed at her and taunted her all the time.

They told her that it was impossible for her to live peacefully like this.

A job that was hard to find.

It is not easy to create a stable environment for Matsuzaka Sugar.

It just dissipated so easily.

"It turns out that... I can't even do such a simple job."

Matsusaka Sayuri murmured to herself in despair: "But...if I don't do such a simple job...what should I do?"

Bitter emotions also accumulated at the corners of his mouth.

It is indeed very difficult for women who are single and have no skills to go out and find a job.

But Matsuzaka Sayuri never thought it would be so difficult.

She was silent, already overwhelmed by the sudden disaster.

Tuition fees for Matsuzaka Sugar.

To maintain the living expenses of the entire family...

All kinds of things come to mind.

It was at this time——

"Let me help Aunt Sayuri."

A voice suddenly rang in my ears.

And these words also made Matsuzaka Sayuri subconsciously raise her head and look at Nanxiang Shi in front of her.

The young man's facial features are particularly profound under the light.

"Help me? Do you want to work? But, Nanxiang-kun, don't you also have things to consider about taking exams?"

Sayuri Matsuzaka was stunned, but she quickly reacted.

yes.

After spending this winter vacation, Nanxiang Shi was promoted from the second year of high school to the third year of high school.

His time as a fresh graduate is much more precious than Matsuzaka Sugar.

There should be no room for part-time work at all.

Her doubts were well founded, but the young man in front of her just smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay. My current scores are enough for me to get into the university I want to go to. Rather than just taking the exam, I actually want to help Aunt Sayuri and Sugar."
