I loaded the dream game

Why is this happening?

Irena walked on the road with her head down, kicking the stones under her feet and thinking in annoyance.

For the first time, I had someone I liked, and I also met my mother when she was young. These two happy things happened at the same time, which should have been double the happiness... Why did it turn out like this in the end?

Of course, she wouldn't be so desperate... Her mother talked to her for so long yesterday that she realized that if she insisted on asking her current mother to follow what she thought was the "correct" path according to her original "memory", it would essentially be equivalent to denying her current self, which was a selfish act that didn't care about her own thoughts at all.

Put yourself in their shoes. If someone suddenly jumped out and said to you, "You are destined not to be with Xia Zhi," you would be so angry that you would take out your magic wand and hit him on the head, right?

So, mom was not wrong.

So, whose fault is this?

Of course it’s the summer solstice, could it be me?

Irena thought angrily in her heart.

Despite this, as mentioned before, she couldn't and didn't want to be separated from Xia Zhi... Both Xia Zhi and Victoria were very important to her and she definitely didn't want to lose them.

Logically speaking, it would be a good thing if the two people you consider most important can live in harmony with you.

But... this isn't the way she had expected to get along at the beginning?

Irena frowned in distress.

How should she handle the relationship among the three?

"Why don't you try not to think of me as your mother?" Irena couldn't help but recall what the girl said to her last night.

She didn't want to look at her with her original identity and preconceived views, but just wanted to see her as an ordinary girl of the same age.

Although it was difficult to do, and Irena was somewhat reluctant, it seemed that this was indeed the best way at the moment. At least she didn't have to worry about ethical issues...

But, if that were the case, wouldn't she become his love rival?

Oh, it seems so? That's fine then.

"…々¨…"

Irena, who realized this, couldn't help but feel irritated again.

I would like to state in advance that she did not run away from home. She was just in a bad mood and did not know how to face the summer solstice for the time being, so she chose to come out and relax.

And now, it was almost noon and she hadn't had lunch yet.

Not only lunch, but also breakfast and last night's dinner were not eaten due to some reasons of the teenager.

This made Irena feel even more resentful towards Xia Zhi.

But soon, the growling sound of her stomach brought her back to her senses.

"I'm a little hungry..."

The girl touched her belly and looked around, but did not find any bakery or other food places on the surrounding streets. There was only a fruit shop not far in front of her that seemed to sell fruit juice part-time.

Irena hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, looked at the various fruit juices in the freezer, and asked, "Um...how much is a glass of juice?"

"Three copper coins, this beautiful lady."

Irena felt her pocket and realized that she had forgotten to bring any money in her new clothes.

As for the original set of clothes...if I remember correctly, it was thrown under the end of the bed by someone yesterday.

Irena thought for a moment, looked at the clerk and asked:

"I'm in a bad mood, can you give me this cup?"

What does your bad mood have to do with me?

The clerk rolled his eyes.

"You don't have to drink if you don't have money."

Irena's mood became even worse.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a voice coming from behind her.

"Give me a couple's meal."

As he spoke, the man placed a silver coin on the counter.

Hearing this familiar voice, Irena immediately recognized who he was, and said sullenly without turning her head, "Who is your lover?"

"I didn't say I bought it for you." Xia Zhi replied, "I took it back for Victoria to drink."

"?"

When you have a new love, do you just forget the old one?

Irena raised her head in annoyance and wanted to glare at this scumbag who was fickle, but a straw was stuffed into her mouth, blocking her from saying the rest of the words.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then held the straw between her pink lips and tried to take a sip. The refrigerated juice flowed into her mouth through the straw. The icy, sour and sweet taste filled her taste buds, immediately washing away the midday heat, and even the boredom in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Zhi asked from the side.

"so so……"

Following the boy out of the stall, Irena answered incoherently, but she didn't stop talking. After taking a few sips, she seemed to remember something, raised her head and looked at him walking beside her and asked:

"Didn't you say you would bring one for Mom...Victoria?"

"Isn't there one left?" Xia Zhi pointed to the drink in his hand.

So the "couple" in this set meal refers to the two of them?

Irena complained in her heart as she walked.

Rather than calling them "lovers", wouldn't it be more appropriate to call them "rivals in love"?

"By the way...what about yours?" she asked the boy curiously while taking another sip of juice.

Then, she quickly knew the answer.

“Woo! Woo…!”

It was not until today that Irena realized that even the juice in her mouth... uh, could be snatched away by someone else.

After a long time, she separated again with a red face. She looked at the boy with shame and anger and asked, "How can you drink like this?"

"Well... isn't there a saying that things taste sweeter when they come from other people's mouths?" Xia Zhi answered after thinking for a while.

Now he finally confirmed that this was indeed the case... at least if the target was a girl.

Then, before Irena got angry, Xia Zhi changed the subject in time:

"So, now that we've finished our juice, can we get down to business?"

Irena was slightly stunned when she heard this: "What's the matter?"

"Victoria is very angry about your running away from home."

Ah, this...

Irena looked away guiltily, and was about to make some excuses, but then she quickly reacted:

"No, she wouldn't get angry about something like this!"

In other words, Mom should know that she would not run away from home because of this matter.

"You think so yourself, don't you?" she asked doubtfully.

"You guessed right." Xia Zhi replied, "I was angry that the child was too independent and wanted to run away from home at such a young age."

"I'm not your child! And I'm not little anymore!"

Irena tried to defend herself.

"Also, I didn't run away from home. I just came out to relax!"

"Let's talk about these sophistry when we get home."

Xia Zhi said this, ignoring the girl's objection of "I'm not quibbling", picked her up horizontally, flew towards home, and soon disappeared at the end of his sight...

.......

Chapter 774: How should family members live in harmony?

How should we punish bad kids who leave home without saying goodbye?

I don’t know about other families, but Xiazhi also has a special set of family rules based on their own special circumstances.

So, they returned home and after lunch, before Irena, who thought the matter was over, could breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Zhi picked her up again, and regardless of the girl's panicked question of "Why are you still settling scores?" and the pleading look she cast at Victoria, he took her straight back to his room.

Seeing this, Victoria hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to stand with her "daughter" and her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry, Irena."

Victoria apologized to the girl in her heart, and estimated that it would take a long time for the two to come out, so she turned back to the kitchen to prepare a pot of red bean porridge to fill her stomach when the girl came out.

……

Victoria miscalculated again.

How to say it, she didn't expect that the two of them would stay in the room for an unusually long time this time.

Xia Zhi is really something. Didn’t I clearly tell you to be careful last time?

Victoria thought complainingly, and estimated that the two of them must be hungry, so she filled two bowls of porridge and carried the tray to the door of the boy's room, then paused.

When she heard the sound from inside, she knew that if she knocked on the door at this time, no one would notice her. After thinking about it, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Then, looking at the scene in the room, she blushed and turned her head away.

Let me reiterate, she is just an adolescent girl after all, and she has only experienced something similar in the past two days. Of course, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye to it, especially when one of the people looks so similar to her, she will of course still feel shy.

"You two, aren't you hungry? Let's take a rest?" She asked the two people in the room, suppressing her inner shyness.

Irena was too tired to speak and could only look at her for help.

this……

Faced with the girl's request for help, Victoria, who had originally planned to leave immediately after putting down the tray, hesitated for a moment, bit her lower lip lightly, and finally made a decision. With a faint blush on her cheeks, she did not turn around and leave, but gently closed the door behind her.

Irena:......

Wait, that's not the kind of help I was thinking of?

……

Because of Victoria's joining, the "punishment" time of Xia Zhi was forced to be extended a lot. When it was almost over, the sky outside had begun to turn from dark to light.

In other words, it took almost a whole day.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and lowered his head to look at the two girls who were sleeping soundly in his arms.

With the same long grey hair and similar delicate features, they look like twins just by looking at their appearance.

However, there shouldn't be such a big difference between twins, right?

Xia Zhi's eyes fell on Victoria beside him and he thought so in his heart.

“Hmm, uh…”

As if she sensed his gaze, Victoria slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze.

"…Good morning, Summer Solstice."

The girl yawned, rubbed her eyes, and greeted him blearily.

"Good morning." Xia Zhi touched her head and asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night? Are you too tired?"

Isn’t it a bit late to remember to care now?

Victoria rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Fortunately, although she joined later yesterday, she was also the one who left early. Therefore, although she was tired, she has almost recovered after resting for such a long time. She is just a little sore.

On the other hand, Irena had been busy for almost the entire day and was so tired that she was still sleeping.

Victoria thought to herself, propped herself up from the bed, looked at the table not far away, and showed a regretful expression:

"What a pity... the porridge has completely gone cold."

It's been so long, it would be strange if it wasn't cool, right? Xia Zhi thought.
