My Romance Simulation with Them

This time, however, Nanxiang did not ask the other person to go for a walk because of the issue of how they were addressed.

He looked up at the pink-haired girl standing beside him, a gentle smile on her face, and then spoke:

Are you really sure? Are you sure you want to marry me?

"Ah."

Without the slightest hesitation, just by asking the question, Matsuzaka Satou nodded in agreement.

"Don't you regret it?"

Nanxiang further inquired: "After marriage, it's not like student days where you can just mess around and get away with it. Marriage is a major event that can affect your whole life."

As he said this, he carefully observed Matsuzaka Satou's expression.

"There's nothing to regret."

Matsuzaka Satou lifted her face, revealing her expression to Nango Toki.

She looked very calm, just like when I first met her during my student days in Nango.

"That's true, after all, that's just who you are."

Nango Toki shifted his gaze from Matsuzaka Satou's face and continued speaking:

"You still don't understand what 'love' is, nor do you understand the meaning behind this word, or your true feelings. You're just using your affection for me to follow in my footsteps meaninglessly and try to please me."

These words were heard by any girl in Nanxiang Shi's vicinity.

They would probably feel uncomfortable inside.

These words seemed to deny their love for Nango.

But Matsuzaka Sugar is different.

She maintained a pure and gentle smile on her face and reached out to gently grasp Nango Toki's hand.

"It's alright, Senior Nanxiang."

A soft voice sounded.

"It was Senior Nanxiang who pulled me out of my life, which was like a blank sheet of paper with nothing. Since I met you, my life from elementary school to high school, which was like a walking corpse, has regained its color."

Before meeting Nango, she simply lived for the sake of living and had never experienced the emotions of 'happiness' or 'pain'.

She doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment from getting good grades on exams.

Similarly, you won't feel disappointed if your phone accidentally falls into the water.

He felt no emotion as he watched his beloved pet die before his eyes.

All she could think was, 'Oh, it's dead. Time to get another one.'

She felt neither joy nor sorrow; she simply lived in a daze, like a corpse.

People need goals to live in this world.

But she couldn't even find that goal.

But ever since I met Nango.

Her previously monotonous life has changed.

For the first time, she had a desire to 'own' something.

For the first time, I had the thought of wanting to stay by someone's side.

This was an extremely rare feeling for her, who was already emotionally deprived.

It's as if the whole world has completely changed.

and so--

Even now, I still don't understand what 'love' really is, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Matsuzaka Satou grasped Nango's hand in return, her usually calm expression showing a hint of weariness: "Just being able to be with Nango-senpai is enough."

She has been pursuing the meaning of 'love' for over twenty years.

But even now, I only have a vague feeling about it in my heart.

Even though she is very persistent in love.

But on this road where the end is almost nowhere in sight.

She was tired too.

She wants to take a break now.

Just being by Nanxiang's side was enough to make me content.

Even if she couldn't understand what 'love' really felt like... being able to stay by Nango's side was enough for her to overcome everything.

Seeing Matsuzaka Satou's expression, Nango Toki didn't say another word.

In his youth, he thought he could influence this pink-haired girl with his own influence.

Let her gradually understand her inner feelings.

And to understand how the word 'love' should be interpreted.

Ultimately, Matsuzaka Satou, who experienced all sorts of emotions through him, still couldn't understand what 'love' meant.

This is an indelible regret for both Nango Toki and Matsuzaka Sato.

Her life was always incomplete.

Having thought of this, Nanxiang Shi spoke up:

"In that case, Sugar, I'd appreciate it if you could show me the way this Saturday. I'd like to meet your guardian and tell them about our marriage."

"There's no need for that."

Matsuzaka Satou smiled and shook her head: "Actually, I've already informed her, and she's agreed to our relationship."

"Ok?"

Matsuzaka Satou's words made Nango Toki frown: "Even if you agree to what's between us, shouldn't I take the initiative to visit you?"

Yes.

He was just a junior after all.

The details of the wedding with Matsuzaka Sato also need to be discussed with her guardian.

This request is perfectly reasonable no matter how you look at it.

Matsuzaka Satou shook her head: "No need, Nango-senpai, you can handle everything."

When Nango heard this, he gave Matsuzaka Sato a deep look.

Although Matsuzaka Satou remained calm as always, her expression and attitude were impeccable.

But he could sense it.

The other party didn't seem particularly interested in letting her meet her guardian.

This reminded Nango Toki of the time when he had looked through Matsuzaka Sato's student resume.

The other party's guardian should be a woman named Matsuzaka Sayuri.

However, whether it's a parent-teacher meeting or a "three-way discussion" (where the school, students, and parents discuss the student's future path) held by the school in the senior year of high school, it's all the same.

This Matsuzaka Sayuri has never attended even once.

Even now, this person who must have had a profound influence on Matsuzaka Satou remains shrouded in mystery and has never appeared before him.

Nango Toki really wanted Matsuzaka Satou to take her there to meet him.

Similarly, he knew that if he insisted, even if Matsuzaka Sugar was unwilling, she would still follow his wishes and ideas and obediently take him to see Matsuzaka Sayuri.

But...

Nanxiang observed the expression on the pink-haired girl's face.

Although it was just a smile, there wasn't much emotion expressed.

Nango Toki, however, understood... This was the first time a girl named Matsuzaka Satou had expressed her reluctance to him.

This was the girl's first, and perhaps even last, request.

At sunset.

Nanxiang ultimately did not force the other party.

Matsuzaka Satou spent her entire life pursuing the true meaning of 'love,' but ultimately stopped.

In this long journey of searching for her missing emotions, she was already utterly exhausted.

The marriage proposal you made to her was both a safe haven and a sweet temptation for her, who was exhausted.

Although she still doesn't understand the meaning of love, and this leaves an irreparable void in her life, she feels happy enough with you by her side.

Chapter 255. The Location of the Stars (4000 words)

Looking at the simulated text, Nango Toki propped his face up and shook his head slightly.

Some people might find this contradictory.

If she doesn't understand what 'love' is, then why does Matsuzaka Satou keep bothering him and doing all sorts of things that resemble expressions of love?

But in Nanxiang's eyes, this was perfectly normal.

It was precisely because Matsuzaka lied that Tang did not understand what 'love' was, nor how to express 'love'.

That's why she did so many outrageous things that went against common sense.

I originally thought that I could prove myself in the simulation when I was in Nanxiang.

By instilling the emotion of 'love' in Matsuzaka Sugar, the other person can be brought back on the right track.

result--

"It still failed."

He sighed as he walked south.
