“It’s alright, Father, I understand,” Takanashi Yuko quickly shook her head and said.

"Yuko, let me introduce you. This child is your mother's adopted child, named Sawada. Sawada, this is your older sister, call her sister."

The young girl, holding her adoptive father's hand, called out "sister" in a childish voice.

"Hello, Sawada." Takanashi Yuuko bent down to greet her.

The five of them walked into the room together. The adoptive parents introduced the new child and talked about some interesting things that had happened during this time. Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko laughed at appropriate moments.

Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning Xiao Niao You Chengjiang.

"We originally prepared two rooms for you, but now that you're a couple, does Yuuko still want to stay in separate rooms?"

"No, no need." Sensing the teasing in her foster mother's eyes, Takanashi Yuuko said softly.

"Okay~ then you two can stay in this room tonight, Yuko, your old room, is that alright, Zexiu?"

"No problem, thank you, Auntie."

Shiraishi Sawa, having snapped out of his daze in the system, smiled and nodded.

"Put your things down first, I'll go heat up the food."

--

After the two entered the room, Takanashi Yuko was in a low mood and silently took out some things from her backpack.

“Takanashi, do you believe me?” Shiraishi Sawa suddenly asked.

"I believe you, so what?"

“I’ll handle it. After all, this whole thing started because of me. They’ll soon forget about Little Bird Swimming in Chengjiang. You might too, through special channels.” Shiraishi Zexiu patted her head and said softly.

Having her secret exposed, Takanashi Yuuko rested her head on Shiraishi Sawa Hide's lap.

"Will this have any impact on Shiraishi?" She didn't ask what the special channels were.

"No, it won't have any effect at all."

"If it's possible, please." She turned her face to the side, hugged Shiraishi Zexiu's waist, closed her eyes, and just breathed.

For no apparent reason, Shiraishi Sawa asked the system about the price of the whole world forgetting him.

140,000 points.

After all, I'm not exactly a celebrity.

Hideaki Shiraishi recalled three definitions of death:

The first type of death is when your breathing stops and your heart stops beating; this is physical death.

The second type of death is your funeral, where everyone comes to pay their respects; this is death in society.

The third kind of death is when the last person who remembers you passes away, and no one in the world knows you or understands you anymore; this is spiritual death.

The thought of being forgotten—forgotten by that fox, by the mute student council president, by the girl lying on his lap, by his own parents—was unbearable.

Shiraishi Sawa seemed to be sinking into the sea, with the resilient seaweed mercilessly hooking onto his limbs, his chest being relentlessly squeezed, and his oxygen running out. It was this kind of despair.

"What's wrong."

Takanashi Yuuko sensed the person beside her quickening their breathing and furrowing their brow. Worried, she sat up and asked.

"fine."

Shiraishi Sawa pulled Takanashi Yuuko into his arms and asked softly:

"You'll never forget me, will you?"

“Of course not,” Takanashi Yuuko hugged Shiraishi Sawa tightly, speaking gently but firmly, “Even if one day my memory starts to deteriorate, I will first forget who I am.”

It's not just me, President Su, and all the seniors, they must feel the same way I do.

Even the toughest seaweed can be cut down by intense love; breathing is so wonderful.

Shiraishi Zexiu lowered his head, searching for her lips.

She also looked up, responding to him with all of herself.

How could they be forgotten? He and they will eventually hold hands and walk together until the end of time.

It doesn't matter if the ending of the story is spoiled.

Chapter 272 They actually teach people how to fall in love

The sound of Mimi gripping the cat cage reminded her of her presence—it wasn't that she had a problem with eating dog food; she was used to it. The main thing was that she was still in the cage, so she wanted some freedom.

The two people detached themselves from their own world.

"Sorry, I forgot I had you." Shiraishi Zexiu's voice showed no apology as he walked over and released Mimi from the cage.

Mimi showed great interest in the unfamiliar environment and didn't have time to be angry that her parents didn't care about her at all. She ran around to the left and scratched to the right.

Takanashi Yuuko took out the cat food she had specially brought from her bag and prepared Mimi's dinner. Just then, her foster mother's call rang out from outside—the food was ready.

It was obvious that the family hadn't eaten while waiting for the two of them. At the four-sided dining table, three sides were occupied: Shiraishi Sawa Hide and Takanashi Yuko on one side, the adoptive mother and Takanashi Sawa Ina on the other, and the adoptive father on the other side.

It seemed that the [Dead Forgetting Card] had worked. After only a few minutes in the room, Shiraishi Sawa could clearly feel that the sadness that these two pitiful parents were hiding had lessened considerably.

"Yuko, are you and Zexiu leaving tomorrow? You're not staying, right?" the foster mother asked to confirm. These were messages she and Yuko had already exchanged on their phones.

"Yes, Mother, Zexiu and I bought train tickets for tomorrow afternoon. I...I want to go with him too." It was too embarrassing to say in front of her parents that she wanted to go to her boyfriend's house. Takanashi Yuko's voice grew softer and softer.

"Are you nervous? I was so nervous when I went to your dad's house with him."

There will be some.

Yuko Takanashi admitted that these past few days, she's often asked Hideaki Shiraishi about his parents' personalities, whether they think the scarves he knitted are too ordinary, and whether they should be replaced...

“It’s normal for Mom to be nervous, Yuko, you don’t need to be at all. No one would dislike a child like you,” her foster mother comforted her with a smile.

“Don’t be nervous, my parents are very easy to talk to, and they are polite to everyone—except me, their son,” Shiraishi Zexiu added.

The adoptive mother asked some questions about Shiraishi Sawa's family, and the two had a harmonious conversation.

"Mother, since I haven't been able to stay here long enough, please make sure I cook lunch for you and Dad tomorrow. It's been half a year since I last cooked for you and Dad."

“I’ll help too,” said Shiraishi Sawa, raising his hand. “My cooking skills are pretty good as well.”

"No need for a complicated lunch," the foster mother said, not rejecting the suggestion.

--

After dinner, Yuko Takanashi took Hideaki Shiraishi out for a walk.

"The Third Children's Park was the place I visited most often when I was bored as a child."

Takanashi Yuuko looked at the slightly mottled park gate—its edges covered with grayish-brown vines, some seemingly dead, others scattered with rust—and sighed.

The park is less than 100 meters from the adoptive parents' home. The streetlights inside are dim, giving it an old and worn feel.

But precisely because of this, when he walked in, Shiraishi Sawa couldn't help but take a few deep breaths—the air here was very good, fresh and natural, barely comparable to the body fragrance of young girls.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. The last time was when I was in elementary school. I never expected it to change like this." Takanashi Yuko looked around, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

Walking along the stone path, where "one step is too short and two steps are too long," Shiraishi Sawa took Kotori Yuuko's hand and said, "Be careful, it's slippery."

The smooth stone slabs, with moss growing in the crevices despite the cold, will release water droplets when you step on them, just like squeezing out cotton.

The girl's steps were somewhat light, and she hummed a charming little tune as she held onto Shiraishi Zexiu's hand tightly.

Neither of them spoke, but there was no awkwardness. Instead, there was a unique sense of comfort, as if they were having a simple romance with an ordinary person.

"There's a rockery behind the corner, it's quite tall. When I was little, my friends and I used to play hide-and-seek here," Yuko Takanashi said after walking for a while.

“Then let’s go climb the mountain.” Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile, pointing forward with his free right hand, but subconsciously glancing at Takanashi Yuuko’s chest.

Even winter clothes can't hide it.

Yuko Takanashi already knew that Hideaki Shiraishi had praised his breasts as the highest peak in the world. Noticing the gaze, she bent over slightly before her blush spread, trying to make her curves appear a little more compact.

"No hunching! Hunching looks bad, straighten up!" Shiraishizawa Hide admonished sternly. "Severe hunching can affect development and health, cause paralysis, and even reduce cardiopulmonary function..."

Shiraishi Sawa began reciting the dangers of hunchback from a middle school encyclopedia.

Takanashi Yuuko looked slightly embarrassed and annoyed, giving him a reproachful look before obediently straightening up. However, she released Shiraishi Sawa's hand and instead hugged her arms with both hands.

"I won't show it to you."

"Feels good~ Since you won't show me, there's nothing I can do but rely on my senses. Today I'll climb the artificial mountain first, and then climb the world's highest peak when I get back! I am the uncrowned king of mountaineering!"

“Okay~” Takanashi Yuuko replied softly. She didn’t dislike Shiraishi Sawa’s chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies; to be precise, she didn’t dislike any aspect of Shiraishi Sawa.

The more flaws Shiraishi Sawah had, the more she felt she was a better match for him—that was how she liked him, and that way no one else would have to share his love.

The artificial hill isn't actually very high, only about five or six meters. It's covered with several trees, some real and some fake, and overgrown with weeds, so it looks like it hasn't been tended to for a while.

"I thought it was very tall when I was little," Yuko Takanashi said softly, looking around.

“Since we’ve grown taller now, let’s go and see the top of the mountain,” said Shiraishi Zexiu.

"I remember there was another space there, with stone benches and a stone table..."

They had just taken a step up the mountain stairs when they both stopped simultaneously, because footsteps came from the top of the mountain. Then the weeds were parted and the two of them came down.

A man and a woman, who looked a little younger than me, the girl's face flushed with embarrassment and panic, and she tried to hide behind the man.

The jacket was zipped up halfway, but thankfully the pants were neatly put on, not like someone had put them on in a hurry.

Otherwise, it would be a sin.

They must have been kissing behind the mountain, and after hearing his conversation with Kotori, he hurriedly ran out—Shiraishi Holmes Zeshu concluded.

Yuuko Takanashi roughly understood the situation. She initially intended to pull Shiraishi Sawa away directly, but after seeing his face clearly, she tentatively asked:

"Are they Yako and Sanbu-kun?"

When Gojo Saeko and Mibu Takashi were called by name, they noticed Takanashi Yuko—Shiraishi Sawa Hide was so tall and handsome that she was the first person they could see.
