Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 385 Toot

5 month 16 day.

as predicted.

After the relationship with the customer became strained, Su Ming encountered many troubles. First, there was a problem with the business license that the customer helped him get. The newly obtained out-of-town license violated the regulations within two days. Not only did he lose tens of thousands of yuan, but the originally rising sales curve was also downgraded due to the decline in store scores.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

At this point, Su Ming had no choice but to go ahead. After all, all his family assets were in it.

5 month 30 day.

Is the result satisfactory for Su Ming?

At least the monthly sales volume has returned to the previous curve and is gradually rising. The backlog of payment settlement period has also arrived, and cash can be received. The pressure is much less.

6 month 12 day.

As of now, the store Su Ming runs can earn the same as a marketing director. Of course, the working hours are completely different.

There is no way to work from early morning to 5pm.

It is no exaggeration to say that Su Ming's dreams were filled with the sound of the platform's 'ding dong'.

I was afraid that any violation would lead to my downgrading. Fortunately, these were just inquiries from buyers who were awake at night.

6 month 17 day.

Kyoto.

Today is An Shiyao's graduation day.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't be thinking about it now...whether she should go to graduate school or something like that instead of staying with me.

But that's how people are, right?
Before things are right in front of us, we always don't think things through.

Moreover, the boast we made at the beginning, that the market value would be 1000 million, now let alone the scale of 1000 million, we would be thankful if we could barely have an annual turnover of 100 million without any mistakes.

"Kacha."

"..."

In college, many graduates take photos in gowns.

An Shiyao was no exception and also wore a graduation gown.

"Come, Mr. Su Ming, look here~"

After she hugged his neck, Su Ming held back what he wanted to say while facing the camera.

Wait for several consecutive shutter clicks to pass.

"…The dark circles under your eyes are too heavy. How many nights have you been up all night?"

Waiting for her to puff up her cheeks and complain.

"Well, I have something to ask."

Su Mingcai slowly organized his words and looked at her, "Do you want to come to my company for internship?"

"……practice?"

Facing her confused gaze, Su Ming felt a little regretful.

It's too early to say this now.

What kind of company is this? They just hired a few outsourced customer service and art designers, and I live alone in a rented house and operate a computer. Moreover, if I really want to join the company, do I want my girlfriend to do the work of staying up late?

"Why am I an intern? I should be the boss's wife."

"Could it be that Mr. Su Ming is not going to take me with him now that he sees that the company is doing well?"

"..."

That kind of smile was definitely a joke.

Is it really okay to ask my girlfriend to give up the opportunity to further her studies for such a small business?

"Actually, I think..."

"Oh, don't say that."

Just as Su Ming was about to speak, he was interrupted by An Shiyao with disgust.

"Will Mr. Su Ming restrict me from looking up information and studying while working?"

"……Won't."

"Are you afraid that I will become better?"

"……of course not."

"That's good. Being a boss's wife doesn't mean you can't pursue further studies. Or..."

She put her lips close to Su Ming's ear and lowered her voice, "You don't want to live with me?"

"..."

Seeing her slightly red cheeks, Su Ming looked away subconsciously, "No."

"What's the matter?! If you have anything to be embarrassed about, just say it."

"..."

"Me, for example, I want to live together."

All previous concerns were dispelled.

Ok.

There is nothing that can't block her future. As she said, she has no intention of preventing her from becoming better. On the contrary... she will do her best to provide support.

However, my girlfriend and I haven't gotten married yet, so why do I feel that she, who is younger, needs it more in that aspect?
6 month 17 day.

Night.

Mr. Su Ming went to a social event near Kyoto High-tech Zone.

He said he would go to the customers he knew well and apologize sincerely. I don't care, as long as he goes... he will definitely apologize successfully.

His career is developing smoothly.

The turnover will reach several million before this year.

I no longer care about helping him in advance, respecting him, etc...

Don't care at all.

Biting my fingernails, I stared at the woman standing in front of me. Small, or of average build... or about my size.

"..."

They all stood there in a daze.

"You, and you."

"Don't show up again."

"..."

I was disgusted. I really hated that Mr. Su Ming was distracted by these things. He pretended that he had not forgotten to clean up.

Even people with a similar body shape to me are annoying.

If only there were no other women here except me.

'Father' was also in the crowd, as were 'mother' and 'sister'.

"You, use the most reasonable method to improve your relationship with Mr. Su Ming."

"..."

They have no complaints. Nor will they. After all, they are just fake things.

"its mine!"

"See? I am... the real one!"

"Wow--"

I smashed the vase beside me in anger.

The porcelain shard cut the back of his hand, and the blood that flowed out was not bright red, but black like mud.

Just like the first time with Mr. Su Ming, the sheets were not stained red. I was like a monster.

What needs to be true?

Except for me and Mr. Su Ming, everything else does not exist, and it doesn’t matter.

6 month 23 day.

Winter market.

Su Ming was a little flattered.

Is my father-in-law paying attention to me?

"You've done well to be able to achieve this scale on your own."

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to Dongshi and visited the rental house I rent.

"I won't ask about Yaoyao and you anymore. But you still have to sign the prenuptial agreement."

"..."

Su Ming never thought of plotting to seize the An family's property.

"Also, if you can bring benefits to you and Yaoyao without damaging the reputation of the An family, I won't ask."

"..."

Su Ming still didn't understand.

Could it be that I have a misunderstanding about my father-in-law? Although he looks like someone who is difficult to talk to, is he actually very easy to talk to?
6 month 27 day.

Not just the father-in-law.

Su Ming got to know An's relatives and his mother-in-law through various means, and they were all friendly.

"Brother-in-law, you must marry my sister. I will be the flower girl."

If we talk about the attitude of adults, perhaps we can be doubtful.

If it was my girlfriend's sister, a little girl, there wouldn't be so much to think about. I could try to believe that the An family was so friendly to me.

6 month 30 day.

The ultimate goal of career, or being busy with career, is to be qualified to marry a girlfriend.

With the help of Anjia, the company's scale grew in a way that Su Ming could not have predicted. In just one month, the turnover increased by at least five times. Su Ming no longer needed to stare at the computer screen every day.

There is no need to look for sources of goods, you can always get the best through Anjia's channels.

But weird.

Business is booming.

The relationship with my girlfriend is not what I expected. Although we lived together and it was very passionate in the first few days... now it has become a bit like a cold war.

She was away during the day, and I didn't know what she was doing. She came back very late at night.

If you ask for the reason, Su Ming can only think of one thing.

"..."

I am sick.

I have a strange disease. No matter where I am, I can't take my eyes off a certain woman.

That's not lustful.

He would just stare blankly until the other person noticed him and responded with a look of disgust, and then he would come to his senses.

"Is she pretty?"

My girlfriend asked me this before.

"She's beautiful. Just look at her more. Take your time here."

"..."

It's not that Su Ming didn't have time to explain. It's that Su Ming didn't know how to explain at all.

Why am I attracted to it? Why can’t I look away?

From that day on, my relationship with my girlfriend became a semi-cold war. Although we still slept in the same room and bed, there was a blanket between us. We still had sex and talked normally.

But Su Ming could feel that this was a thorn...

To put it more abstractly, I could feel that when we were doing it, my girlfriend wasn't as happy as when we first came to Dongshi to live together.

That can't be right, right?
It’s obvious that my girlfriend is holding my arm intimately and never stares at any man...Yes, if I were in her shoes, I would definitely feel uncomfortable.

However, Su Ming really didn't understand.

The woman I stared at most of the time was neither pretty nor sexy, and her clothes were normal. If I had to say, even her white pantyhose were not as good as my girlfriend's.

The figure and appearance are far inferior.

What's the problem?
I am always in a daze. Could there be something wrong with my body?
7 month 1 day.

morning.

"I'll go to the library to look up some information."

As usual, I made an excuse and said goodbye to Mr. Su Ming.

I also know that his recent state is likely to make him have some negative thoughts.

But I can't stand it.

Whoever attracts Mr. Su Ming's gaze will disappear.

Until there is no more.

But why do they still exist after so many people have 'disappeared'?

Do you really want to leave me?
So you want to remember?

No.

If it has to be this way, I would rather... become a monster.

"Disappear!"

Let the 'people' I send turn into mud.

The more this happens, the more I feel how fake this place is.

It has to be real, and no one has to be stared at by Mr. Su Ming, so it can only be... a world without other people, right?
Ok.

Since I must remember them, let me... personally, shatter all the memories that may not have been completely forgotten. Memories of them.

7 month 1 day.

Night.

It was a bit difficult for Su Ming.

He went to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed that he was normal.

No disease.

Staring at others in a daze is completely a voluntary behavior. There is no excuse. "If you must find a reason."

"You have a strong demand in that area...spiritual emptiness?"

"..."

Should I believe what the doctor says and think that I am just lustful?

No matter what, Su Ming didn't think he would be so hungry. Staring at the immature middle school students and being greedy? Impossible.

How should I explain this to my girlfriend?
"Clap."

The apartment door opened.

"It's so annoying. There are so many things to do after graduation..."

My girlfriend looked a little tired.

In fact, I have thought about whether this period of time is not really a cold war at all, but my girlfriend is simply tired.

According to her, there were some problems with her graduation project that needed to be sorted out.

But after all, it is a fact that he would stare at other women in a daze.

7 month 1 day.

late at night.

"I want to apologize. Sorry."

While his girlfriend was taking a shower, Su Ming spoke through the door.

"Apologize? What is Mr. Su Ming talking about?"

"Ah, about that time when I was staring at someone else."

"..."

There was silence in the bathroom.

Sure enough, it is a thorn in her side, right?
"I don't know what Mr. Su Ming is talking about."

"Clap."

The bathroom door opened.

The girlfriend was only covered with a bath towel, her hair was wet and she had a faint fragrance.

"Did you think I was angry because I haven't been here during the day recently?"

"No, I forgot about it a long time ago."

"Come in, let's take a nice bath together~ It's been a while since we took a bath together."

"..."

I was caught off guard and was dragged into the bathroom by my girlfriend.

kiss.

Her hair stained Su Ming's clothes, which were soft and fit him well.

For a moment, Su Ming felt something was odd. For example... the hand that was hugging his back was in a strange shape?
"I don't need to go out tomorrow, can I... take a long time?"

"..."

"Yeah, I want it."

It's easy to be aroused and forget what you were thinking just now.

He took the initiative to reach out and touch the only towel on her body, the color of which matched her snow-white skin. The only difference among them was that Klee blossomed because of his touch.

7 month 2 day.

Four o'clock in the morning.

"Siyao...I..."

"..."

How many times is it?
I was simply venting and getting rid of the negative emotions I had felt by running out these days and making those people disappear.

Why do I feel that Mr. Su Ming in front of me is as powerful as he is in my memory? He doesn't know how to use his bonus ability.

She is completely using her body, which is just slightly better than that of an ordinary person, to satisfy me.

scared.

I was afraid that something other than love would appear in his eyes, such as disgust and disdain... I thought, how could a 20-year-old girlfriend have such strong thoughts?
"Tell me about staring at others..."

Ahhh.

Here it is again.

I've already told you, don't talk about it!
"I can't explain it clearly, but I didn't think about anything at the time. When I came to my senses, I saw——"

"..."

I didn't want to listen anymore, so I just lay on top of Mr. Su Ming and asked for a kiss.

Wait at least four or five minutes before sitting up again.
All right.

I used this body to give him the ability to continue.

Just keep doing it, forget about the problems and the unnecessary things.

"I have summed up some things and feel that it may really be... some mental problems. I have also been to see a doctor for diseases such as easy distraction."

"I also consulted a professional doctor."

"..."

Why do you still say it?

"Shut up!"

I started to get scared.

Why is it that a body that is almost the same size cannot allow Mr. Su Ming to enter a state of trance?
Where am I missing?

Compared to her, she was just as capable before she got pregnant.

"Tell me, you only like me."

I don't want to see Mr. Su Ming's confused expression. I just want to hear this sentence.

just me.

Only like me.

It will just be me. Nothing else is needed. I don't care about the gradual process anymore. There is no need. I want it now. I can't stand it for a moment.

"Siyao? Your...hand?"

It doesn't matter if your tentacles are seen, you'll forget about them immediately anyway.

So, for a relationship that is maintained entirely by my body... I don’t want to think about whether it’s true or not.

At least Mr. Su Ming is real, and so am I. Isn't that right?

"Clatter, crash, crash -"

What the hell is it?
It was always pressed on the edge and made a sound.

I angrily took it out from under Mr. Su Ming's back...it was a few printed A4 papers.

【Question 1: Why do I stare at others? 】

[Answer: I may, indeed, have uncontrollable behavior instinctively.]

[Question 2: Are they more beautiful than my girlfriend? ]

[Answer: No. No matter in appearance, figure, or soul, no one can compare to you.]

[Question 3: Is there any way to avoid it? ]

[Answer: Maybe you can try... uh, list all the women who have distracted me so far, summarize their characteristics. Then compare them with Yao, or... if Yao changes to look very attractive to me, I will be even more unable to take my eyes off her? ]

[Question 4: Will you betray your girlfriend? ]

[Answer: No. I love her and cherish her.]

【…】

Several sheets of A4 paper were densely written with what Mr. Su Ming really wanted to say.

I can confirm.

The paper, which was stained by my or Mr. Su Ming's sweat and was a little blurry...recorded what he really wanted to say.

Didn't think of it.

Or maybe, I didn't even plan to think about it. I just wanted to confess.

And what am I doing?
His hands and feet turned into tentacles, locking him tightly.

"Well, Siyao is all I need."

"..."

wrong.

It's written on the paper.

[Question 17: Why do you want to change your girlfriend's nickname? ]

[Solution: si is unlucky. Also, Yao is cuter. It suits her very well.]

As for me, I just didn't want to have the same name as another me, to avoid him from thinking of unnecessary things.

"I love you."

"Siyao, very cute and very beautiful."

"..."

Obviously, paper has no sound, but because of my ability, the words in front of me... seem to have no sound.

Mechanical, dull sound.

Even being able to do it with me is because of my ability.

"...Siyao?"

I stood up, naked.

"...Yao?"

"No, you're not..."

"..."

My body was still hot, but I felt an inexplicable chill. My whole body was cold.

What did I do wrong?
Just want to be together, want to be together.

Why are you looking at me like that?!

I'm not a monster.

Why...disgusted?
It's not that I want to be like this, I just...

7 month 3 day.

early.

Su Ming stared at the messy room, which was filled with strange traces everywhere.

But I can't remember what happened at all.

But the body's screams were not fake. My back and waist were really sore... It was like I had done something unspeakable.

"..."

"Strange."

No matter what, Su Ming couldn't remember anything about last night.

I opened my phone, sent a message, but there was no reply. I usually get a reply in a minute, but this time, not only was there no reply, there was no sign that I had read it or was typing it.

No one answered the phone.

Su Ming subconsciously went back to his room, trying to find the A4 paper he had prepared. But there was none.

Did you take it out last night?

Can't remember clearly.

List the problems you have and the solutions you have thought of, and then add some things in the middle that you think are corny but are true to your feelings... forget it.

You'll know when you see your girlfriend again.

Su Ming decided not to think about it for the time being. He simply washed up and sent a message to his girlfriend. When he was getting dressed, he discovered something strange... The mirror was broken. It was obviously vandalized.

What happened?

7 month 3 day.

morning.

"..."

Two things.

First, there was definitely no one and no car outside the apartment, which was impossible to be empty.

Or maybe something else replaced them, all of them were lumps of mud, whether it was the road or the street or the people in the shops.

second.

The phone keeps ringing.

The call was from an unfamiliar number.

"..."

Su Ming stared at the bulge at his feet. It was dark in color, uneven, and had many vein-like lines. In contrast to its ugly appearance, it had an indescribable fragrance.

"Buzz."

"Hey?"

Su Ming was a little slow before pressing the answer button.

"Is it Su Ming?
"……Yes."

"Your girlfriend asked me to tell you something."

"..."

Su Ming withdrew his attention from the drum and focused on the calm female voice in the microphone.

"You can stare at other women. They don't call them other women, they have names. Mu Xue'er, Eliza, Xia Ye... that is your freedom, your real life. She is going to die, so please treat her as if she doesn't exist from now on."

"That's all she wanted me to say. Goodbye."

"beep."

The call was hung up.

Su Ming was not given any time to understand or reply.
