I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 345 Thinking about me?
Then let me ask you.

Dongye Yu was about to speak when his eyes fell on Yu Zi's little face. He was stunned by her serious expression.

In the dream, they had conflicts in the more than ten years of their life together. Whenever there was a disagreement, she and I would sit down and have a reasonable and well-founded conversation to ensure that both parties conveyed their feelings and thoughts to each other correctly.

With such an attitude, Dong Yeyu could no longer come up with any excuses or pretexts he had originally thought of.

After all, the Yuzi in front of him had indeed been in a dream with him for half his life.

In other words, the woman questioning him in front of him could in a sense be said to be the wife who had accompanied him for most of his life—even though in real life she was still a junior high school student.

Who can stand this?
How to do?
Dong Yeyu suddenly felt a little scalp tingling. Things were becoming more and more complicated. There were even some difficult philosophical problems involved. He began to ponder.

For example, if I and Yu Zi were married and lived together for half of our lives in a dream, then after returning to real life, how should I define my relationship with her?

This involves the question of which has higher priority, consciousness or matter, whether consciousness is higher than matter or matter determines consciousness.

But up to now, the two major schools of materialism and idealism in the world are still arguing endlessly. No one can convince the other, there is no conclusion, and both schools have their reasons.

Because of the problems in his education in his previous life, Dongye Yu is more inclined to materialism - the soul is probably made up of matter, and he has not yet seen a real consciousness that exists independently of matter.

So it seems that matter determines consciousness. In reality, Miko and I did not really hold a wedding, nor did we really get married. If I use this excuse to get rid of Miko, it would definitely be possible.

The problem is that I don't want to get rid of Miko, nor do I want to abandon Sanae and Hiiragi. Now I know that all three of them like me, and I want them all.
But in this case, how should I tell her about Sanae and Hiiragi Kagami?

Should I confess directly or wait and see?
But it would be too mean to tell her when she is even more deeply involved.
Dongye Yu sighed in his heart, but then again, both Yu Zi and himself had spent half of their lives in a dream, so it was probably impossible to let go.

It’s all the normal school’s fault. There should have been a lot of tolerance for mistakes, but now the situation is very urgent.

Dong Ye Yu was a little confused and lowered his head to think about how to respond.

Seeing that he was thinking seriously instead of blurting out some excuses, Yu Zi subconsciously rubbed the hem of her skirt with her slender and tender hands, and became more nervous - this meant that his next words came from the heart.

Therefore, she did not urge Dong Yeyu, but sat patiently beside her waiting for an answer. When she saw Miao Ji peeking furtively from behind the pillar, she did not go over to play with them or talk to them as usual.

He waved his hand gently, indicating that he was busy and couldn't play with them.

The calico, the orange cat and several other cats stretched their heads to look around for a while, felt a little bored, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only a few balls of fur were seen running around the corner of the corridor.

Just as Yu Zi was about to look away, a black cat's head suddenly appeared under the window sill, and its figure seemed a little illusory.

Those cat eyes made people feel smart and a little dull. She seemed to want to say hello, but when she saw Yu Zi put her finger to her mouth, she yawned with her open mouth and jumped onto the window frame silently.

He glanced at Dongye Yu, squatted by the window frame and combed his hair for a while, then jumped into the house as a matter of course and rubbed against Yu Zi's feet.

Finally, she squatted down like a hen incubating eggs, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if preparing to use this place as a place to take a nap.

Perhaps it was because it was getting closer to noon, or perhaps it was because the weather was getting hotter, the cicadas in the Guardian Forest were chirping louder. The sounds were one after another, making it seem as if the sunlight had become more dazzling.

There was a faint smell coming from the kitchen. Grandma was preparing lunch, and I should go and help.

Yu Zi thought to herself, and the little feet under her buttocks curled slightly.

"actually--"

In such an atmosphere, Dongye Yu suddenly spoke. Yu Zi's heart trembled when she heard it, and her petite body immediately tensed up.

Higashino Yu thought about it, and many of the words on his lips could not be said at all - at least he could not say them naturally under Yuko's gaze.

In this case, just tell it out loud. Even if it is because we have been together for many years in Huangliang Dream, I should not hide it from her. As for how it will end later,
Believe in my wisdom tomorrow!
Of course, even if you want to be honest, you still have to have a method.

Dong Yeyu paused for a moment, "Although everything in the dream did not really happen, it is undeniable that traces of it remain in our memories. Those memories are real, and our feelings for each other are also real."

His expression and voice were sincere - this was indeed what he was thinking.

When Yu Zi heard this, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and her clear amber eyes reflected the young man's face. She knew that he said this with all his heart.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, her porcelain-white face blushing involuntarily, but her inner feelings were somewhat complicated.

Or rather, it's amazing.

On the one hand, in my memory, he and I lived in dreams for many years, and we even had a pair of children. I had heard more embarrassing words and done more embarrassing things. What was happening now was actually nothing, it was just our daily interactions.

But then again, it was a dream after all, and it gave people a sense of unreality.

And since waking up, Yuko feels that the details of the memories in the dream are slowly becoming blurred. Perhaps many years later, only a rough memory will remain, remembering that she once had such a wonderful dream, a dream in which she spent half of her life with the person she loves.

In comparison, the words and feelings expressed by Higashino Nissan are all real. His body temperature, face and skin are all touchable and can be seen and felt.
So is this considered a confession from Dongye Nissan to me?
Can we be together forever in reality?
Miko subconsciously touched her heart to confirm if this was real.

At this moment, Dong Ye Yu changed the subject.

"However, real life is not as perfect as dreams. There are always things that entangle us and pull us, so sometimes things often go against our wishes."

"What blocks our way is not as simple as a rock in front of our eyes. It is more like an invisible thread that cannot be cut or untangled, a current that cannot be escaped, and a fate that plays tricks on us."

Miko frowned, "We have overcome this kind of difficulty many times in dreams, and we can do it in real life too, right?"

Dong Yeyu rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"What is Tono Nissan worried about?"

Yu Zi moved forward slightly, and her slender and tender hands covered Dong Ye Yu's hands in her palms.

"Since Higashino Nissan has responded to Miko's feelings, we can get along like we did in the dream. No matter if it's Miko or Higashino Nissan, whenever we encounter a problem, we must tell each other. Only by supporting each other can we keep going together. This is what you said in the dream, Higashino Nissan."

"That's right."

Dongye Yu coughed and tried to pull his hand back gently, but it was held too tightly and he couldn't pull it back, so he gave up and let her hold him, but he didn't dare to look at Yu Zi.

".Will you accept what I told you?" Yuzi was stunned, and then she recalled some memories from her dream, and her face became serious: "Did Nissan Dongye make any mistakes?"

"Not yet."

Miko: “.”

She opened her eyes and said seriously, "You haven't made any mistakes yet, so why should you let Miko accept it? Since Tono Nissan knew that what he was about to do was wrong, he should have stopped himself in time."

I wish I had a choice. Dong Yeyu shook his head helplessly: "There is no way to stop it. It is force majeure and an absolutely unavoidable mistake."

When Yuko heard this, she fell silent. She had actually guessed what Higashino Yu was talking about - after all, she had lived in a dream for many years, and even if it was just a dream, Yuko's mind had matured a lot.

She was naturally precocious, and with her experience in dreams, her mind was more intelligent than many adults.

If that is the case, Dongye Nissan really has no choice, but
Miko asked softly, "Is it related to Miss Asumi?"

Dong Ye Yu nodded silently. The girl in front of him was obviously just a junior high school student. Her facial features were very childish. She looked like an elf and seemed easy to talk to. But he knew that she was the most stubborn person he knew.

The Princess in front of him seemed to gradually overlap with the shrine maiden who had been with him in his dreams for more than ten years.

Higashino Yu rubbed his face and said, "Sanae confessed to me, and I have no choice but to respond to her. If I abandon her, it may become a regret in my life."

Yu Zi looked at Higashino Yu without saying anything, and remained silent for several seconds.

She took a deep breath and stood up. When Miaoji saw her stand up, she also stretched on the ground and prepared to follow her.

"I'm going to go to the kitchen to help grandma cook. I need to calm down, Tono-san."

"Miko, I—"

"Miko knows what Tono Nissan feels, and she knows it's a difficult decision, but she's very unhappy."

Yuzi felt very uncomfortable. She felt as if half of everything that originally belonged to her was taken away inexplicably, leaving her feeling empty.

There was also a feeling of panic and uneasiness, because the missing piece seemed to have a crack, so the remaining half did not seem solid.

She walked to the door and suddenly remembered the face of another girl. She stopped and asked softly, "Where is Miss Jinguji?"

There was no reply from behind.

Yu Zi turned around and saw Dong Ye Yu kneeling there upright, but his eyes were flickering and he didn't dare to look at her. The girl was stunned at that time, her expression was dazed, and her mind was blank.

Do you want to adapt to the local customs and learn some traditional Japanese arts?
Dong Ye Yu thought about it for a moment and shook his head. Doing this is disgusting and will only backfire.

Miko rarely gets angry, but at this moment she was getting a little angry. It would have been fine if there was just one more Asuka Sanae, but now there's another one, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami. The life she had imagined had two more people added to it, and it was hard to accept just thinking about it.

She pursed her lips until they turned pale, and the veins on her hand, which was holding the pull ring of the shoji door, were visible.

"What is Tono Nissan going to do?" Miko asked softly, her breath trembling a little.

Higashino Yu thought about it and decided to struggle, at least to let Yuko know what he was thinking.

So I answered seriously: "I know this is against morality, and most importantly, it is unfair to Miko, Sanae, and Hiiragi Kagami. But if you ask me to choose between the three of you, I can't do it."

"No matter which one I choose, the other two will only leave deep and visible marks in my heart. Moreover, this mark will not fade with the passage of time. Instead, it will become deeper and deeper, because it is foreseeable that I will exist in this world for a long time."

"I will not choose any bleak future. I pursue perfection and completeness. I want to live and practice with you."

"Miko doesn't like this kind of Higashino Nissan." Miko shook her head: "And Miss Asumi and Miss Jinguji won't agree either."

"Then I will keep pestering you until you agree."

Yu Zi opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief. Such words should not come out of his mouth.

Higashino Yu felt that he was hopelessly shameless for saying such things to a junior high school girl.

But meanness is the passport of the mean, and for the best future for oneself, everything is worth it.

What's the cost?
It hurt Miko, Sanae, and Kagami Hiiragi, who could have met a husband who would only love them for the rest of their lives, but ended up meeting a fox like herself who was divided into three parts.

I'm guilty.

Higashino Yu despised himself more than ever before, but even so, he still had to do it.

Yu Zi was silent for a long time, observing Dong Ye Yu's expression, and sighed in his heart.

She knew his character very well, and she also knew that he was in a situation where he had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils, or to throw in the towel.

She understood the predicament that Higashino Yu was in, but found it hard to accept.

"Tono Nissan knew that there would be such an impossible decision, but still allowed things to develop to this point."

Dong Ye Yu didn't know what to say. He didn't think so at first. When he first came here, he just wanted to make money. Who knew so many things would happen later.

After two seconds of silence, he sighed and said, "When it comes to feelings, they have already taken root and sprouted before you even realize it. By the time you react, it will be difficult to extricate yourself."

Yu Zi remained silent upon hearing this, because her feelings for Higashino Yu were the same, slowly changing in an imperceptible way, and by the time she realized what was happening, she had already become inseparable from him.

Just then, an elegant voice like reciting a poem came from the corner of the corridor.

"Your Highness just heard someone calling the name of the Moon Witch."

As she spoke, Asumi Sanae, who had changed into a cool princess dress, turned a half circle at the corner and appeared in the sight of the two.

"Thinking about me?"
