After thinking for a moment, she murmured softly: "Let's start practicing with a smile. Maybe I should listen to everyone else and smile more..."

Then she tried to force a smile on her face, but no matter how she tried, she felt a little awkward.

She walked to the mirror and smiled at it, and she found that her smile was very strange...

So she practiced in front of the mirror again and again until she could show her signature smile...

"Smile more in the future..."

“And the next one is…”

Shiina Riki continued to look at the small notebook, "Be more gentle..."

"gentle?"

She raised her head slightly.

"How can I become gentle?"

She thought about the person she thought was gentle...

"Why not learn from Su Shi? She's very gentle..."

Shiina Riki thought so...

She began to try to review Nagasaki Suyo's behavior...

...

As usual, everyone came to Suzukisuke's house after school.

Shiina Riki can't wait to let everyone see her changes.

So after entering Suzukisuke's house, she took the initiative to smile at everyone.

Suzuki was surprised when he saw Shiina Riki's smile.

He also smiled at Shiina Riki.

Shiina Riki sat next to Takamatsu Deng.

Today, Shiina Riki changed herself as much as possible. When she and Hailing smiled, Hailing was very surprised.

I guess my change was very successful!

Everyone started studying, and Suzuki continued to ask questions to Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Riki.

Shiina Riki actually explained it to him with a smile on her face. When she finished, she would ask, "Do you understand? If you don't understand, I can continue to teach you."

Very gentle and patient...

Suzuki looked at Shiina Riki's gentle face and for some reason he felt a chill down his spine...

It was as if the person sitting next to him was not Shiina Riki, but a monster in human skin.

Seeing that Suzukisuke didn't respond, Shiina Riki smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Suzuki Jie shuddered: "No, nothing, I understand, thank you Lixi."

Shiina Riki looked at Suzukisuke, who seemed a little abnormal, and she thought to herself: "Could it be that I changed too quickly and surprised him?"

"It seems that my practice yesterday was really effective. Everyone was very surprised by my transformation, which shows that my change was very successful."

Shiina Riki was very happy inside.

Suzuki Suke secretly glanced at Nagasaki Suyo, and Nagasaki Suyo also glanced at Suzuki Suke.

There were strange looks in the eyes of both of them.

After teaching Suzuki Suke, Shiina Riki turned around to teach Takamatsu Touma.

Takamatsu Deng's animal-like intuition was very sharp, and she subconsciously felt that something was very wrong with Shiina Riki.

Too abnormal...

After teaching Takamatsu Deng with a smile on her face, she continued with the same gentle smile she had when teaching Suzuki Suke: "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me~"

He closed his eyes and nodded nervously, "Okay."

She felt a little scared, or to put it more scientifically...

This is the uncanny valley effect...

It's like, the current Shiina Riki is a creature that looks very similar to a human, but is not a real human...

Takamatsu Touma, Nagasaki Suyo, and Suzuki Suke all felt very tormented...

This weird feeling is really uncomfortable.

Until the sun was about to set and the light outside the window turned yellow, Suzuki smiled and said, "It's so late, let's go back and have dinner."

"Well... okay..." Nagasaki Suyo was the first to stand up.

She really couldn't stand this weird atmosphere.

Gao Songdeng also stood up: "I'm a little hungry..."

Seeing that everyone stood up, Shiina Riki had no choice but to stand up as well: "Then see you all."

She smiled and waved to everyone.

Her behavior was as proper as it could be.

"Well, goodbye!" Nagasaki Suyo twitched the corner of her mouth, then opened the door and walked out first.

"Goodbye!" Gao Songdeng was the second one.

It wasn't until Shiina Riki left home that Suzuki Suku breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest as if he had just experienced a great terror.

"too frightening!"

He never knew that Shiina Riki, who already had terrifying eyes, could evolve...

The pressure that Shiina Riki brings to him now is even greater than before.

At night, when Suzuki Jie opened his mobile phone, he found that he had been pulled into a chat group by Nagasaki Suyo.

There are only three people in this chat group, Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Deng and him.

"I think Li Xi is so weird today! What about you guys?" Nagasaki Suyo said what was in her mind.

Takamatsu Deng looked at Nagasaki Suyo's news and agreed deeply: "I feel the same way... Today's Riki gave me a very scary feeling..."

Suzukisuke also agreed: "I feel like Li Xi today is like a bionic person who has infiltrated human society."

Nagasaki Suyo: "Yes, yes, yes! That's the feeling, it's so scary. When Riki smiled at me, I felt goosebumps!"

Everyone was talking about the changes in Shiina Riki.

Nagasaki Suyo: "I think the previous Riki is better..."

Although Shiina Riki used to be expressionless, always indifferent and didn't talk much, at least everyone was used to her personality.

Her sudden change made everyone feel that something was very wrong.

Gao Songdeng: "Well, the old Li Xi is still better."

Nagasaki Suyo continued, "Should we talk to Riki and ask her not to change?"

Gao Songdeng said, "Will Li Xi be sad? She has clearly tried very hard to change herself."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know what to do for a moment.

Suzuki Jie couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He didn't want to discourage Shiina Riki because it was rare for Shiina Riki to want to change herself. If everyone expressed their opposition, Shiina Riki would be very sad.

"Let's take it one step at a time... Maybe Lixi will find out about her abnormality at school..." Suzuki said, "After Lixi finds out about the problem herself, we can take the initiative to tell her. That might be better..."

"Okay then." Nagasaki Suyo was a little helpless. She was now very afraid of Shiina Riki.

Takamatsu Deng agreed with Suzukisuke's idea.

In the following days, Shiina Riki continued to maintain his changed appearance.

She practices her smile in front of the mirror every day to make herself look gentler.

As a friend of Shiina Riki, Hachiman Kailing naturally felt her transformation.

She also felt a strange feeling...

But she did not point out Shiina Riki.

Shiina Riki, who has few friends to begin with, has no idea of other people's true attitudes towards her.

Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Touma, and Suzuki Suke were tortured next.

Until everyone couldn't stand it anymore.

Nagasaki Suyo was lying on the sofa and sending a message in the chat group: "What should I do? I really can't stand Li Xi now..."

Takamatsu Deng said, "I had a nightmare last night... I dreamed that Li Xi was actually a robot disguised as a human... and there was an Omnic Crisis on Earth."

Nagasaki Suyo: "How scary!"

"Why doesn't anyone at school give any feedback to Riki's behavior..." Nagasaki Motoyo really didn't understand. If someone could give any feedback to Shiina Riki, she would not maintain her current behavior pattern.

Suzuki chose to reveal the answer to the question: "Could it be because Riki doesn't have many friends at school?"

Considering that Shiina Riki used to be so aloof, it was normal that she didn't have many friends.

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly realized: "So that's how it is?! No wonder no one pointed it out..."

Takamatsu Deng felt a little sympathy for Shiina Riki: "Riki is so pitiful..."

"Let's just tell Li Xi directly...it's too scary to continue..."

Suzuki Jie shuddered when he thought of Shiina Riki over the past few days.

"I agree!" Nagasaki Suyo immediately agreed.

"Me too." Gao Songdeng had no objection.

Everyone wants to stop Shiina Riki from developing in a more terrifying direction.

the next day.

Nagasaki Suyo Takamatsu Touma came to Suzukisuke's house as soon as possible.

When Shiina Riki arrived, he found that everyone was sitting and looking at him.

She greeted everyone with a smile.

Everyone shuddered again.

There's something very wrong with this Lixi...

They suddenly missed the old Li Xi.

In the past, Li Xi had a fierce look, a cold personality, and a low emotional intelligence...

But they feel that this kind of Li Xi is the Li Xi that they feel most familiar with.

Come back! The Lixi I know!

Everyone was shouting in their hearts.

After Shiina Riki sat down, Nagasaki Suyo spoke first: "Riki..."

She started to speak but hesitated.

Because she was afraid of hurting Shiina Riki.

"What's wrong?" Shiina Riki gave a forced smile.

For Tatsuki Shiina, who is not good at laughing, it is very easy to distinguish between real smiles and fake smiles.

Because a real smile involves the facial muscles of the entire face, while a fake smile only moves the lips, Shiina Riki's fake smile is very easy to identify.

Nagasaki Suyo felt a chill on her back again.

She decided that no matter whether it would hurt Li Xi or not, she must tell the truth.

I'm sorry, Lixi!

Nagasaki Suyo mustered up her courage: "Ritsuki wants to make herself better, right?"

Shiina Riki nodded.
