Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 382 There is no reason to be conservative with him

1 month 22 day.

Su Ming always felt like he had forgotten something.

But I can't explain it clearly.

Go to work in the company step by step and save money...why is that?

Sit at your workstation.

The position is still the marketing director. There is a separate office.

"Master, seriously, you should find a girlfriend."

Apprentice Xiao Li came in wearing a jacket.

"..."

Girlfriend? I think I already have one.

Yes, saving money and working hard are also for the purpose of fulfilling the promise made to my father-in-law.

Why am I so awesome?
How dare my father-in-law, who is a leader in the materials industry and has a personal net worth of over 10 billion, build a company with a market value of 1000 million yuan from scratch?

what.

My father-in-law might think it's funny... First, 1000 million is nothing to him. Second, a guy who only earns 15 yuan a year and has been promoted to department head dares to brag in front of him.

Why are you so courageous?
"Master, I'm not kidding. Look, you're still young and promising. You don't really plan to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, do you?"

"It will come naturally in a few years."

"Of course? Well, how about I ask Xiao Zhang to introduce her best friend from the north to you?"

"Need not."

Su Ming looked at his phone.

An Shiyao's name is in my WeChat contacts list. I don't know when she secretly changed the note to 'Yaoyao'.

understood.

The reason why I am so courageous is because of this.

I want her, but I don't have the courage... She will never be my girlfriend.

"Really? I'm not kidding."

The apprentice took Su Ming's tea without hesitation and made a cup. "Xiao Zhang's best friend is pretty good-looking. She comes from a single-parent family. Her father seems to be a truck driver... She is an only child. Do you want to see her photo? I'll look for it."

"..."

There's really no need to look at it.

No matter how good-looking she is, she will never be as pretty as An Shiyao. Besides, there is no male child in An Shiyao's family, so she is an 'only child'?
From money, status to life...it's really hard to imagine how I can start from scratch and create a company with a market value of 1000 million yuan.

Now I am relying on my girlfriend's love and my father-in-law's kindness to end the relationship. Isn't that a bit too weak?
"?"

"Master, have you been possessed?"

"Is this book really useful? A hundred secrets to success?"

"..."

Shut up.

This is driven by big data.

1 month 28 day.

Su Ming is on vacation, and including the annual leave, he can rest for about two weeks.

I plan to go directly to Kyoto.

"Why are you going to Kyoto?"

My aunt asked curiously on the phone.

"Ah, I'm going to pick up..."

Huh?
Who to pick up?

Oh, to pick up my girlfriend... No, my mind is confused.

If I bring An Shiyao home now, my father-in-law will have objections.

"It's okay. I just didn't wake up. I'm packing my things and preparing to come back."

"Be careful on the road. It's New Year's Day, so it's okay to drive slowly."

My aunt started rambling on again.

1 month 29 day.

Return to my hometown.

The house has been cleaned up by my aunt and her family. Why is the room next to mine a storage room?
Well, it has always been like this, right? After all, I live alone at home.

Had a meal.

A group of relatives whose names I couldn't remember or who were not very familiar with each other sat around the fireplace.

Boo cold and warm.

"Xiao Ming must be very successful. He has become a minister."

"I heard the annual salary is 30 yuan?"

"..."

I don't know how my aunt spread the word, but 15 yuan became 30 yuan in one transaction. I can't say it's hard to slap my aunt in the face, so I can only say implicitly that if the company is doing well, there is a chance to get 30 yuan in theory. But I haven't gotten it yet.

Subconsciously glance sideways.

Who do you habitually want to talk to?

I always feel like something very important is missing. It feels empty.

"Buzz."

The phone vibrates.

【Picture.jpg】

【Picture.jpg】

【…】

An Shiyao sent me some messages, all of which were pictures of her New Year celebrations.

It seems that their family went on a trip. In Shangri-La, snow-capped mountains, horseback riding, etc. It was completely two different worlds.

I felt a little inferior for a moment.

To be able to travel with a family during the Chinese New Year, one must be middle class to qualify. But I am not one of them. Even the minister who got promoted with her help, with an annual salary of 15 yuan, which is just over yuan a month, is not middle class.

[Very boring]

[Next time... take me out to play. Is that okay? ]

But as An Shiyao sent another message, Su Ming couldn't help but smile again.

Fortunately, my girlfriend is not someone who would think about these issues. She doesn’t ask about my birth or family background. She just likes me.

"Yo yo, is Xiao Ming in love?"

"Let me see, are there any photos?"

"..."

I was planning to just brush it off, but who knew An Shiyao would suddenly post another normal selfie wearing a snow hat. It just happened to be seen.

"Wow. Come and see, Xiao Ming is amazing... He found a very pretty girl. She looks like a young lady."

"..."

As my aunt also came over, the relatives' topic turned to Su Ming and An Shiyao.

Kind of embarrassing.

But the empty feeling disappeared. Maybe it was just because I got used to having her around.

1 month 29 day.

Shangri-La.

My parents and relatives threw an impromptu dance party...but I had no interest in joining.

Two years.

It is very difficult to deceive Mr. Su Ming's ability, and it is even more difficult to only see what I want him to see. I can only trade with monsters.

This is the only way to succeed.

I know everything about my other self, whether she knows it or has forgotten it.

So, even from a physical point of view... I am no longer human.

But it doesn't stop me from being the real deal.

"..."

I clutched my phone tightly, looking at the message he replied to.

【When you graduate, we will work together to create a company with a market value of tens of millions. 】

[I will marry you in a formal way and bring you home. ]

【…】

I am laughing.

Ok.

I am still alive. And now I can do anything. I can do it.

He rested his chin on his hand, thinking about everything that had happened with Mr. Su Ming so far.

I don't understand the message the monster is conveying, how can a faithful reproduction of everything that happened with Mr. Su Ming keep him here? I only care about one thing.

If he can live, let him live. No need to do anything else.

What is Mr. Su Ming's real mission? How strong he becomes has nothing to do with me.

In the past, it was because he was too obedient and too trusting that he ended up in such a miserable state.

This time, I no longer care.

All I know is that the mission he sees now... must be to capture me. He will do it whether he likes it or not.

So far, so good. He has completely forgotten about it and is only thinking about how to marry me with dignity. Very cute. Isn't it great?

We'll stay here, and I'll give you whatever you want, whether it's material or spiritual.

"Sister? What are you doing?"

"..."

My sister ran to my room.

I stared at her face, feeling a little worried for some reason. In my memory...my sister died because she went to Sea Island City with me.

"elder sister?"

When I hugged her, she looked confused.

"If you like Mr. Su Ming, I will... agree."

"What are you talking about, sister?!"

"..."

If I had taken a different path, my sister would not like Mr. Su Ming.

Would it be too selfish to ignore my sister?
If I was a little more selfish, I could survive to the end. If I gave up everything, I could be in the current situation.

No complaints.

I can't be the same again, I've made it through these past two years...replaying what happened back then. But from now on, it's going to be different.

As long as there is no experience in Sea Island City, we will be together forever.

If you are interested in my sister... you can find it here. If it's just me and my sister, it's okay.

My hands were around my sister's delicate back, and some soft, muddy substance flowed out.

"Has my sister already liked my brother-in-law to this extent? Even I am worried about him... Horrible."

"I am becoming more and more curious about what my brother-in-law is like."

"..."

Right.

He here would not be interested in his sister, and his sister would not be interested in her either.

This is good. After all, there was no such thing as Sea Island City, and there were no so many other people behind...if everything was normal.

I should forget, as if those images did not exist, just as he forgot them.

2 month 10 day.

Winter market.

Not long after the beginning of the new year, Su Ming went to the company again.

But a new problem arises. I don’t know why, but An Shiyao has been very clingy lately… We can’t meet in person, so we often call each other.

Especially when Su Ming was talking about work and business with his female colleagues, phone calls would always come in.

It's okay to talk to colleagues at work, but it's not very polite for customers. If you don't answer... you will get into trouble.

[I'm sorry, I'm just... worried that you like someone else. ]

[Shouldn't I be the one who is worried? ]

【…】

What am I?

To put it in a positive way, he is at most a hardworking and diligent young man. To put it in a negative way, he is just an invisible passerby in the crowd.

On the contrary, apart from her appearance and family background, she also has a temperament that cannot be imitated. I am really worried about meeting the wrong person and getting the wrong identity.

[Then you and that...the new female colleague in the marketing department who wears flesh-colored stockings every day.]

[They have been married for four years.]

[Also, I always ask you for help, where is the one in the live broadcast room? ]

[That girl just graduated, but she's not as pretty as you... and she has a boyfriend. ]

【…】

[Tell me, did you use your authority to view the company's surveillance? ]

[Hehe, no.] [……]

[I'm sorry, I... I just wanted to see you. Who knew I would get jealous so easily? ]

Now that she has said this, what else can Su Ming do?
[I don’t want to end up not being able to start a company, but instead not being able to graduate because of insufficient credits. What will my father-in-law think of me then?]

[No, I've always gotten straight A's. I completed all the credits last year. I can graduate even if I don't attend classes.]

2 month 14 day.

Night.

Valentine's Day is Friday again.

An Shiyao came as a matter of course.

I feel like...she has suddenly become more open-minded. In other words, not so traditional anymore.

He just walked to the back of a dim street lamp, suddenly turned around, his cheeks slightly flushed, and closed his eyes.

"..."

From the way she stood on tiptoe, even an idiot would know what she wanted.

After a while, the lips parted.

Seeing her puff up her face.

"You'll kiss me only if I do this?"

"...I think you might not like being too intimate outside."

"Who said that?"

"..."

She herself said at the beginning that she was a conservative and traditional woman. How can you be angry about this?

"I'm very traditional... But when I think of you, I want to kiss you. I don't care what others think."

"Don't you have this feeling?"

"……No."

"Well, you sleep alone at night."

"..."

Even though I said that, the hand I held when we first met has not been let go until now.

2 month 15 day.

Su Ming couldn't straighten his back.

He doesn't understand.

Logically speaking, shouldn't men be active and women be passive?
Besides, it has not been long since we confirmed our relationship and had sex. Is the change too big?

I had already planned to take her out for some sightseeing, art painting, and roadshows... but in the end, nothing got done and all the tickets were wasted.

"Anyway, after the show, you still have to bring me here to do this kind of thing."

She stretched out her hand lazily from the bed. It was very white, not just her hand.

"Watching again!"

"..."

What should I do? Once the quilt slips, it’s impossible not to see it.

"I'm an efficiency person. I... prefer the present to the present."

"That doesn't mean you have to stay in the rental house all day and all night, right?"

"I didn't ask you to come over...you're the one who kept stopping. I'm hungry~go order some takeout. I want to eat lobster."

"..."

That's quite right.

She just changed from going out to watch a movie to watching it on a tablet in the rental house. She didn't directly say she wanted to be shocked, she just came over.

Watching the road turned into watching concert videos, variety shows or something like that in the rental house… There was no need to shiver, but we suddenly wanted to kiss after the show was over… and then everything just happened naturally after that.

Should I blame myself for not being restrained enough?
After going outside to get the takeaway, Su Ming realized that this was definitely not his responsibility alone.

"Ah, open your mouth, look... I'm so considerate, I've peeled it for you."

"..."

She held the shelled shrimp in one hand and caught it with the other. Her clothes were stained. She was wearing Su Ming's shirt... It was obvious to the naked eye that it was Keli from the baby cafeteria.

"What are you looking at again? You really are... a pervert."

"..."

Is it possible that your short-sleeved shirt can't even support the balloon, let alone hide your features?

The room is so small and her hands are on her chest, how can I not see it?
"If you really want to watch it, can't you wait until you're full before watching it..."

It's definitely her responsibility.

What am I?

After being single for more than 20 years, how could I stand this kind of test?

2 month 16 day.

The location has changed.

Change to the house rented by An Shiyao.

"I rented it for you. I'll come and stay here occasionally."

"..."

"Otherwise... it's not convenient at your place."

In fact, Su Ming was already considering changing houses, but she didn't expect that she would change it first.

As for those who had no self-respect, she blushed and looked away.

Talking about self-esteem again would really ruin the atmosphere.

"When you come to Winter City in the future, you will have our home."

"Just talk, why are you touching me?"

"Because it's cute."

"..."

fantastic.

Like when I usually chat with my apprentice Xiao Li, will there be any worries about money and status? I feel a little bit when chatting, but when I really get along with her, I don’t feel it at all.

I can clearly feel her love for me.

Just like Klee, changes began to appear in the palm of her hand.

2 month 16 day.

Night.

Had a fight with her.

The reason was very strange, at least Su Ming didn't understand it.

Just a pair of earrings.

"I don't like this, take it away!"

"?"

“Take it away quickly!”

It was the first time that I saw a distorted expression on her face.

What happened to the earrings?

It was pure silver, very small... It wasn't particularly eye-catching, nor was it plain. At least Su Ming thought it would be very beautiful if she wore it. Simple and elegant.

2 month 16 day.

late at night.

Su Ming ran out to choose a new gift. He racked his brains... What should I give when I have a quarrel?

What else can I buy in the middle of the night?
flower?
After finishing the work, I went back with a bouquet of flowers.

"where have you been?"

"..."

As soon as I opened the door, I was hugged. Very hard.

"I'm sorry, uh... I-I have bad memories about the earrings."

It turned out to be the case.

Then you should be the one to apologize.

"I don't want anything, no gifts..."

"..."

Is this what happens when couples quarrel?
According to Su Ming's idea, he should give her flowers and then coax her. But it seemed that it was completely useless, as the flowers were covered by the clothes he took off.

"Siyao?"

Don't understand at all.

How could she be squatting in front of me crying?

"I'd like to do this without any gifts. Is it comfortable?"

"..."

Green, but gradually becoming proficient.

I always feel very warm.

Almost subconsciously, Su Ming reached out and touched her ear. It was a little warm.

"?"

She raised her tear-stained face in confusion.

"No, I am..."

What do you want to say?

Seeing the face that had inexplicably apologized to me felt a little awkward.

But I just have a feeling of nostalgia, thinking that those small and cute ears have earrings...very beautiful earrings. When I squat in front of me, they will sway.

"Ears...better than here?"

Her hand guided Su Ming's hand to the cafeteria.

2 month 17 day.

early morning.

Sitting on the plane back to Kyoto, I stared out the window blankly.

She ruffled her hair, and a passing stewardess looked at her in surprise.

"..."

Useless.

No matter how I mess up my hair, my face is the same. Because it's still me.

The feelings for this face... the memory. Perhaps it was the easiest thing for him to forget. It was actually no big deal, as time went by he would forget it more thoroughly.

'accurate'.

have this feeling.

Even though it was me who was looking at him, the gift he gave was the same one I had received from another me.

I changed my hairstyle to a new one. Everything changed, from the way I behaved to the way I dressed.

"..."

A strong signal was shared in the head.

What do you mean?
Do you think I can't do it and will let Mr. Su Ming go back? I won't do that to a cemetery that will be eaten up sooner or later, and I have no obligation to save others.

I have begun to enjoy this life which is completely different from living in fear. It is much better than dying alone in a cemetery because of being obedient and generous.

just.

Maybe, this is my original personality... I get jealous easily. Even if I know, that's just me.

"Do you need a disposable comb and hair tie?"

The stewardess bent down and asked me.

"..."

I nodded and waited for her to bring it.

Then look at the face reflected in the window.

This is my new reality. Same people, same society, same world. It doesn't matter if my body is weird or not. He won't know anyway.

What should I do tomorrow?

I really hate to be so restrained. So, if I bring it up, in a subtle and shy way, saying that I don’t like a certain pair of earrings, then they will give me something else.

After being lonely for so long, how could it be possible that just seeing each other once a week and calling each other every day would be enough?
Huh?
Why can't I be more proactive? Anyway, from the moment I decided, I was on a completely different path. Because I like you... I became less traditional and it's normal to open up earlier, right?

As for what will happen to another world and another me, it has nothing to do with me.

It is impossible for me to be as generous and obedient as before.

I believed Mr. Su Ming, but he didn't give me a satisfactory answer.

So, just be selfish enough.

what.

As expected, the female colleagues in the company should just quit.

If he really can't forget completely, he can use the ability of this body to make him forget completely. What's wrong with not being a simple human? It's much better than me who can't do anything. Unhappy things, unnecessary things, just forget them. Think about something else.

Well.

How can I continue to make him unable to take his eyes off me the next time we meet?
Just change into the uniform of a stewardess. The reason is that I am curious about role-playing. Well, maybe I am a traditional and conservative woman at heart, but then again... there is no reason to be conservative with him. I want to be satisfied by the person I like and be more loving, there is nothing wrong with that.

I like it. He peeks at me, reacts but is evasive. Or rather... I'm looking forward to this happening. That is, it would be nice if I could get close to him after peeking at him without me having to say anything too explicit.
