[Apart from Nanxiang Yili and Nanxiang Liang, your other wives also gave birth to daughters, and they soon reached the age where they could run and walk.]

[Only Nango Sugar, still feeling lost about the future, has not yet borne you any children.]

She envies their expressions of love for you.

[And I hate my own confusion and helplessness.]

She was deeply conflicted, and this inner turmoil brought on feelings of depression and immense pressure.

Under such immense pressure from both his inner state and his external environment, Nango Sugar's condition deteriorated day by day, eventually leading him to fall ill.

This is not a serious illness.

However, treating mental illnesses is far more complex than treating physical ones.

Although she recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital, Nango Sugar's complexion grew increasingly haggard each day.

During this time, even if you try to improve her mental state, or even move out with her away from the children to help her recover, it won't help.

She was indeed weakening at an extremely slow rate.

"Nanxiang-senpai...did you ever love me?"

"I've loved, and I still love."

Nanxiang Shi gently stroked Nanxiang Sugar's cheek on the bed.

"Is that so...? But I'm sorry, Nango-senpai..."

Lying on the bed, she blinked her pink eyes and reached out to stroke Nango's cheek: "I was really too stupid... I didn't understand Nango-senpai's 'love' at all... but—"

She looked down at the empty ceiling.

She gave him her usual calm and gentle smile: "Hmm. Since Nango-senpai said that... then he must love me very much, right?"

Leaning against the hospital bed, she murmured to herself, "Senior Nanxiang, do you still remember what you told me about those two stars that day?"

"Yes. Of course I remember."

Nanxiang nodded.

She told you on the day you said that if two stars tried their best to shine at the same frequency, they could get closer to each other and figure out each other's feelings.

She then secretly found an opportunity to check on the two stars you mentioned.

Those weren't actually stars, just two lights from an ordinary guesthouse.

From the night sky, they look like twinkling stars.

[They are just two parallel lights; no matter how much they move or how hard they try, they can never cross the parallel distance between them.]

But she didn't tell you about it.

Because she never understood how to fall in love with someone, nor did she understand how others would express their love for her.

[But just hearing your words, she would unconditionally choose to believe you.]

She believes that the kind of stars you described do exist in this world.

[As long as it continuously emits a bright light at the same frequency.]

One day, even two different hearts will be able to bridge the distance between them.

She thought...perhaps that feeling was also a form of 'love'?

Nango Satou passed away a month after her 46th birthday.

You've been there for her for five years.

[And that was a day when Tokyo had just entered the depths of winter.]

Already physically weak, she couldn't withstand the sudden temperature drop in Tokyo.

Did she truly understand the meaning of 'love' when she passed away?

You don't understand this.

[If you only occasionally look up, you'll find a red star shining with a gentle, bright light in the night sky above.]

In the night sky, a lone red star casts a soft glow.

It's as if she's searching for a star with a wavelength and frequency similar to hers—

[Simulation ended.]

Chapter 256. Yandere, Surprisingly Easy to Handle (4000 words)

[Simulation ended.]

When he saw this line of text, Nanxiang Shi couldn't help but shake his head.

The so-called yandere girl is actually a girl with 'love-absence syndrome'.

Even he was meeting a girl like Matsuzaka Satou for the first time.

He closed his eyes.

The unspeakable regret in Matsuzaka Satou's eyes before her death was something that even he could feel in reality.

The girl spent her entire life trying to understand the meaning of 'love'.

But he never understood the meaning of the word 'love' until his death, let alone how to express his love to the person he liked.

Sorry?

There will definitely be regrets.

But he didn't even express his regret.

That serene and peaceful girl, as pure as water, who lived like a walking corpse, has passed away.

She passed away at the age when she should have been happiest.

Nanxiang shook his head and continued reading.

After the simulation ends, the usual simulation evaluation will follow.

[System rating: 82 points.]

[System Evaluation: A bond of dependence, a hazy love, stars hanging in the sky, just as they hang in your heart...]

The heavy rain washed everything clean, leaving only puddles on the ground reflecting the sky's color. She was like one of those puddles, her empty heart containing a pure surface; however you reflected her, that's how she would appear.

Your meeting with her was completely accidental. She fell in love with you at first sight, captivated by your mesmerizing smile from the very first glance, and became utterly infatuated.

Your smile was like a drop of thick ink, seeping into her pure heart and disrupting her life.

Having never experienced such intense emotional stimulation from birth until high school, she felt a 'desire' for the first time. She tried hard, clumsily, to express her love to you, even though she didn't understand what love meant.

You've realized this, and you want to change her through your own influence.

[But as time flew by, her desires remained unfulfilled. Whenever she saw other wives interacting with you, chatting and laughing with you, she would always look at them with particularly envious eyes.]

Having a heart full of passion but not knowing how to express it, or what constitutes an act of expressing love, is an invisible torment and torture for her both mentally and physically.

You tell her that as long as you both strive to emit the same strobe light, you can understand each other's thoughts even if you have different ideas.

She firmly believed in this and tried her best.

[However, due to the long-term mental burden, she, with her pink hair, eventually transformed into a star in the sky.]

She loves you deeply.

You also felt particular pity for her.

When an elegant red star hangs in the night sky.

Do you still remember that innocent girl who was infatuated with you simply because of your smile?

[System notification: You have gained a small amount of business experience.]

"82 points..."

Nanxiang was somewhat surprised when he saw the score.

It's not that I think the mock exam score was low.

Instead, he felt that his mock exam score was much higher than he had imagined.

After reading the system's evaluation, he thought his score in this simulation would be around 40 or 50, or at most 60 or 70 to pass.

After all, Nango Toki did not deliberately choose the correct option in this simulation, unlike in the previous simulations.

All the options he made were in order to figure out Matsuzaka Satou's background and personality.

This means making a purposeful choice without deliberately pursuing a 'happy ending'.

Even so, the simulation score of Matsuzaka Satou is still 82 points, only 8 points away from the happy ending, which is naturally surprising.

But let's think about it the other way around.

The simulated scores are largely based on Matsuzaka Satou's happiness level.

"So that means... Matsuzaka Satou was quite happy after marrying me?"

Nanxiang propped his face up with his hand.

From his perspective, Matsuzaka Satou probably didn't have a happy life after getting married.

I always walk alone.

He watched his other wives and children interact with envy, yet felt at a loss.

In the end, he passed away with a heart full of regrets.

The only thing she could call a happy situation was...

That is, she always stayed by Nanxiang Shi's side.

"But...can this level...be called happiness?"

Nanxiang rubbed his temples.

She couldn't have his love all to herself.

She didn't have the child because she was worried about the child's feelings.
