It vanished into thin air at that moment.

She blinked in surprise.

It took me a long time to realize what was happening.

Then, as if sulking, she turned her body to one side and began to hum and whine:

"Nanxiang, I've discovered that you can be really mean sometimes. Are you deliberately bullying me?"

Yes.

They had clearly prepared their answers.

But he deliberately kept her in suspense at the very end, making her anxious.

Isn't this just pure bullying?

"Don't you like Shinjo?"

Hidden in a dark corner backstage, Nanxiang Shi reached out, turned her body around, and asked a question.

"..."

Shinjo Akane did not respond to Nango Toki's question.

Although her body was upright, she turned her head to one side.

"Qian, don't you like this?"

Nanxiang simply reached out and cupped her face in his hands, looking directly into her eyes.

“......” Shinjo Akane.

My heart, which had just calmed down, began to stir again.

The blush on her face said it all.

She avoided Nanxiang's overly intense gaze, and after a long while, she managed to mumble, "Bad intentions."

This person is really wicked.

Even though they already knew the answer, they still had to tease her like this.

only--

"I want to hear you say it yourself."

“…” Shinjo Akane sighed inwardly.

Ugh...

Forget it.

She felt that perhaps her whole life would end up falling into Nanxiang Shi's hands like this.

She was completely powerless against him and could only let him bully her.

She guessed that even in the future, as long as it was something Nanxiang wanted, she would obey without question.

But the key point is... she didn't actually dislike those kinds of days.

Thinking of this, she buried her head deeply into Nanxiang Shi's chest and whispered:

"like."

yes...

If I had to say something...

From the very beginning, Nanxiang bullied him, forcing him to reveal his true nature.

And now...

She actually liked Nanxiang Shi the most.

In a dark corner backstage where no one can see.

Akane Shinjo reached out and hugged Toki Nanago tightly.

It was like holding a treasure she had found.

I'm never going to let go again.

Chapter 142. Your Status in Rikka Takarada Has Rise (4000 words)

Whether it's a reward or a punishment, the choices you make are essentially predetermined.

You and Akane Shinjo became lovers.

[Meanwhile, under your watchful eyes, the stage play "The Monster of the Human Heart" officially begins.]

[The excellent story background, the smooth performance after extensive rehearsals, and the high quality of your recitation. Even the stage LCD screen that Akane Shinjo specially rented all played a perfect role in enhancing the atmosphere.]

From the appearance of the monster Thanasis to the Japanese government's response, Rikka Takarada's heroic monologue as the male protagonist, and her emotionally charged struggles during the performance, were enough to make "The Monster of the Human Heart" stand out at the Ocha Festival, which was primarily led by trainees.

The previously noisy venue gradually quieted down, everyone holding their breath, immersed in the story world you had created.

[What worries Akane Shinjo is that your script excessively alludes to reality, causing dissatisfaction among some people, but the events that actually occurred.]

But this was actually within your expectations.

[Regarding "The Monster of the Human Heart," the students of Ocha High School were primarily interested in the exciting plot.]

[The background you set for discharging nuclear wastewater hasn't received much attention.]

The story continues.

[Tanathis, corrupted by nuclear wastewater, has begun to wantonly destroy urban buildings.]

The meticulously crafted models, with their realistic effects and lifelike miniature explosions, elicited gasps of amazement from the trainees below.

They never imagined that a tokusatsu stage play, primarily aimed at children, could so deeply resonate with them.

[As I saw the endless ruins of Tokyo projected onto the stage's LCD screen, I simultaneously witnessed Thanasis standing atop these ruins, gazing back at the ocean.]

A deafening roar filled the venue, more powerful than any previous performance.

The performance of "The Monster of the Human Heart" was undoubtedly a success.

Hearing the applause from the students throughout the gymnasium, Akane Shinjo, whose body had been tense, finally relaxed.

She and you exchanged a smile, both gazing at Rikka Takarada and the others bowing in farewell on stage.

The success of "The Monster of the Human Heart" not only gave Akane Shinjo the confidence to pursue her tokusatsu dream, but also gave her courage, which had always been filled with inner turmoil.

After the performance, accompanied by you, she expressed her sincere gratitude to everyone who had offered to help.

[This kind of action would have been unthinkable for you and Rikka Takarada in the past.]

With your help, she has gradually begun to emerge from the shadows of her childhood, lifting her head and looking towards the future.

And at that moment, her love for you deepened even further.

One evening after the performance of "The Monster of the Human Heart," she invited you to her house.

That night, you stayed overnight at her house, and your understanding of her physical intimacy deepened.

Similarly, you also learned about her distorted family relationships from her candid confession.

[But this topic, which she previously never wanted to talk about or recall, has given her the courage to face again with your support.]

She told you that once she officially graduates from high school and is capable of living independently, she wants to formally sever ties with the Shinjo family.

She confides these thoughts to you, thoughts she would never tell anyone else, which is essentially a sign of her unconditional trust in you.

And in return for her trust, you showed her the utmost respect.

Because it was her own choice, no one could interfere.

However, you also expressed your own concerns.

She's always lived a life of extravagant spending, but after leaving the Shinjo family, will she be able to live like an ordinary person?

[To this, she nestled in your arms and playfully bit your shoulder, then, worried that she might have bitten too hard, licked it a few more times.]

For her now, as long as you're by her side, whether her material life is abundant or not is perhaps not that important at all.

You and she became lovers.

You became her irreplaceable other half.

"Okay. That's great."

Looking at the simulated text and feeling the memories in his mind, Nango felt a sense of relief.

Unlike the previous timeline where he forced Akane Shinjo.

This time, Akane Shinjo took the initiative to reveal her true feelings and expressed her intention to sever ties with the Shinjo family.

The results of both appear to be the same.

But the process was completely different.

Passive and active may seem like a one-word difference, but the consequences can be vastly different.

Who knows what unexpected things might happen next?

This incredible start to the season made Nanxiang quite excited, so he continued watching.

Time continues to move forward.

[After the performance of "The Monster of the Human Heart".]

[Your relationship with Akane Shinjo quickly spread throughout Ocha High School, thanks to her high-profile lifestyle.]

But she didn't seem to care. Faced with questions from a somewhat heartbroken male student, she smiled and admitted to her relationship with you.

She no longer wore a mask of hypocrisy, nor did she obsessively care about others' opinions as before.

Akane Shinjo has decided to live only for herself, and similarly, she will only care about your thoughts and those of the friends she has genuinely invested in.

[At your suggestion, she, who wanted to sever ties with the Shinjo family after graduating high school, began to adapt to part-time work life ahead of schedule.]

She faced setbacks while working away from home, but with your companionship and comfort, things generally went smoothly for her.

While she worked hard, you didn't forget to study together with her.
