My Romance Simulation with Them

It was so weak that Nanxiang could easily break free by simply raising his hand and gently struggling.

but--

Nanxiang reached out and grabbed her hand.

Chapter 197. You Have to Take Responsibility for Me! (4000 words!)

Beyond simulations, in real life.

"I never expected it to turn out like this."

Experience the changes in The Sims.

Nanxiang, in real life, sighed.

He originally thought he had figured out the source of Rio Futaba's awkward personality.

Unexpectedly, there was another reason afterward.

The desire for friendship, coupled with unease about the outcome of a friend's relationship with his girlfriend, and the fear of being abandoned by his friend, is undoubtedly an extremely selfish thought.

Her self-loathing stemmed not only from her body, but also from her overly selfish and self-serving thoughts.

Similarly, there was her morbid obsession with 'wanting to be needed'.

So...

What will happen next?

Looking at himself in the simulation, already holding Rio Futaba's hand, Toki Nanago murmured to himself.

Your guess was indeed correct.

Rio Futaba has never liked anyone; she simply has an almost pathological obsession with the idea of ​​being needed.

Self-loathing, self-hate, withdrawn yet yearning for friends... these conflicting elements define Rio Futaba.

After losing two friends in succession, she can no longer bear the consequences of losing you.

Although you had anticipated this, you weren't surprised by how fragile she was; even a temporary period of neglect made her so uneasy.

You sighed deeply at how troublesome this woman was, but still reached out and took her hand.

Having never been so intimate with a boy before, she was as startled as a hamster.

But after seeing your clear, bright eyes, she gradually calmed down.

And those hands, which you never remembered ever trembling, were now trembling uncomfortably in your palms.

"I am a selfish and self-loathing woman."

She turned her head to one side and sobbed softly.

“…” Nanxiang looked at her without saying a word.

He simply reached out and pulled her in front of him.

Her figure, as graceful and beautiful as Mount Fuji in winter, pressed tightly against your chest.

Normally, she would probably feel very shy and resistant to such an intimate gesture.

But now she remains silent.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Rio Futaba's voice rang out in the empty science preparation room.

“You shouldn’t have become my friend, Nango.”

"A female friend as beautiful as Rio, who is also an excellent coffee maker, would be irresistible to any guy, right?"

Nanxiang blinked and teased, "You only want to get rid of me now? Too late."

"That's not what I meant."

Rio Futaba lowered her golden eyes.

Even though her ample breasts pressed tightly against Nanxiang's chest, she didn't care at all, and continued to speak:

"I just... hate people like me... hate women like me who, out of fear of losing you as friends, wish you wouldn't move forward and would stay where you are."

"I'm very selfish..."

She constantly belittled herself.

His face was full of disgust.

His face was contorted in pain.

Nanxiang took in her like this.

Finally, he spoke:

"Rio, do you still remember those female students who talked badly about you behind your back when we first met?"

"...Um."

Of course she hadn't forgotten.

Those girls who badmouthed me behind my back.

What puzzled her was...

After that.

She then rarely heard any more malicious rumors about herself from the outside world.

Those girls stopped pointing and whispering about her in the shadows.

"Actually, after that, I still contacted them."

Nanxiang reached out and wiped away the wet tears on the girl's face.

When my fingers touched her face.

She still couldn't help but show a shy expression.

The eyes hidden behind the glasses were slightly closed.

But her emotions rose and fell with your words.

"I guess you could say I bullied them a bit. In short, I made sure they never dared to talk maliciously about others behind their backs again."

Nango blinked and leaned closer to Futaba Rio: "Now you know what kind of villain I am, right? I pretend to be a top student, but what I actually do is no different from those girls."

"No... Nanxiang, you're not like that."

Listening to Nango Toki belittle himself with his words, Rio Futaba felt a sudden pang of heartache for no reason.

"No, that's the truth. It's also the wickedness hidden beneath my outward appearance."

Nango clapped her hands with a smile, showing no intention of maintaining her flawless persona in front of Futaba Rio: "They made me unhappy, so of course I had to use some methods. I'm just that wicked... um."

Before she could finish speaking, her slender, fair fingers were placed on Nanxiang Shi's lips.

Rio Futaba stopped Nango from continuing.

She didn't want to hear Nanxiang's self-deprecation.

Under her gentle gaze, Nanxiang smiled, reached out, and gently stroked her head.

He changed the subject and didn't bring it up again, instead bringing up something else.

"Rio said it before, didn't she? You hate yourself."

Nanxiang looked at her and smiled as he spoke:

"But I actually quite like you."

He wasn't joking at all, and proceeded to recount each and every one of the things:

"It was a pleasure chatting with you, and it was also nice to see you doing experiments so seriously and meticulously. Sometimes, I felt that it would be wonderful to just stay by your side and never leave you."

These words, which were undoubtedly akin to a confession, made Rio Futaba's face flush slightly, and like a giant wave, washed away her previous hesitation and silence.

She spoke softly, "But there are still some people... who think I'm a weirdo. If I'm always with them, Nanxiang, you..."

"This is originally a matter between Rio and me, why should we care about other people's opinions?"

Nango gently stroked Rio Futaba's pretty face.

This is not an action that can be taken in a relationship of 'friends'.

But when facing Nanxiang, she sheds her hard shell as a science student and becomes as gentle as water, completely unsure how to resist.

All she could do was bring her entire body close to Nanxiang's body.

That's all.

The science preparation room in the early morning.

Besides the two hearts that lean on each other.

Not a sound could be heard.

Your skillful words stirred the girl's sympathy and innocence, and under your influence, she temporarily emerged from her shadow.

[After this incident, you also realized the extraordinary fragility of a young girl's mind.]

To prevent this from happening again, you decide—

The next option will have far-reaching consequences.

[First, be proactive! Take a step forward and force her to make friends with others!]

[Second, this woman is such a hassle! I'm not going to say anything more! Yamada Ryo sent me a LINE message! I need to reply!]

Thirdly, she needs you right now. You should stabilize the situation first, and then think of ways to change her timid personality.

[IV. Simulate it yourself!]

"A far-reaching option?"

Upon seeing this line of text, Nanxiang perked up.

Having gone through so many simulations, he certainly understood what this option represented.
