I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

This may also be related to the fact that she doesn't have many friends, so she is not familiar with modern ways of making friends.

"Alas...Sushi."

……

"Alas... Chitose."

Su Shi leaned against the glass door of the bathroom, and her heart began to beat violently.

She succeeded!

She really succeeded!

She is Nagasaki Suyo! She successfully approached Chitose Noshiro in the real world!

Now she is dominating the bathroom of Chitose's house with the proud attitude of a winner!

"Next, I need to find out which school Xiao Sui attends... If possible, I really want to ask Mom to transfer her."

After a day-long blackout, her sanity finally returned. Su Shi fiddled with her water-resistant smartphone and discovered...

[Is there really no one looking for me? Oh, there is one, it's Mu.]

Mu sent a question mark... He must be curious about why he didn't come to school.

Su Shi simply replied "Nothing" and sent a message to her mother:

I'm going to be studying at my bestie's house these days. Don't worry if you can't find me when you get home. Mom, you've been working so hard. If you can, please come home and rest more often. I miss you.

Although she really wanted to see her mother right now, Su Shi knew that her mother had a lot of work to do and might not have time to come back.

As a daughter, all she could do was to care as much as possible.

After casually placing her phone on the sink, Su Shi took off the towel wrapped around her body and realized that her underwear had also been taken off...

"Years old! So, so bold..."

Water vapor spread as the shower head was turned on, and Su Shi gradually relaxed her tense spirit in the warmth.

She was picked up by Qiansui and taken home.

She is the real Chitose, in appearance, personality, and even aura.

She went home, and as long as she was still alive, that place would be her home...

Su Shi's cheeks and ears became increasingly red, and it was unclear whether it was because of shyness or because the bath water was too hot.

That's the way it is.

……

"That's what happened! So I took her home!"

"But that girl said her name was Su Shi? That's the same name I called out in my dream... So she must be a younger sister I raised out of wedlock, right? Wuuuuuuu... How could she do that? I'm so mean!"

Xiao Jingben was beating Chitose's chest with her tender little fists, and Chitose could only stroke the back of her head to comfort her while smiling apologetically.

"No, no, I love you the most. Sushi is Sushi, and Kyomoto is Kyomoto. I only have one sister, Kyomoto."

Chitose used the power of word games and successfully tricked Kyomoto Haizuka.

She blinked her unfocused pupils and looked at Qiansui with confused eyes.

"Eh?"

Then, it made a questioning sound as cute as a little animal.

"I'm really just my sister's friend."

Nagasaki Suyo seems quite... fragile right now? It seems the burning of her house must have been a real blow to her.

dong dong——

There was a light knock on the open door. Chitose turned her head and saw Su Shi, who was still steaming from the bath.

Her long brown hair drooped naturally, and her pale face was heartbreaking just by looking at it, coupled with her unique blue eyes——

Nagasaki Suyo, you look so soft and delicious.

"Sorry to bother you, Chitose-san, but I want to know where I'm going to sleep tonight? Oh, I really will pay for the room! I have a little savings..."

“Yes, you have savings…”

"Then why don't you go out and rent a house?"

Qiansui tilted his head and found that there was something wrong with the Su Shi in front of him.

[Could it be that what you just said to me contained a lie? ]

Ch173. Nagasaki Suyo! Stop kneeling!

"I…"

Su Shi's pupils trembled violently.

[What should I do! What should I do!]

To make up a lie, one needs to rely on countless lies to patch it up one after another. Su Shi knew from the beginning that there would be such a moment.

But she herself didn't expect it to come so soon!

Facing the two sisters in pajamas, Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath.

Let her wisdom take over again! She seemed to have come up with a solution.

"Noshiro Chitose, you don't understand this, right? I have... more information than you can imagine! With so much information, I know your personality pretty well!"

The corners of Su Shi's mouth rose slightly, but no one noticed.

With a thud, Su Shi...knelt down again!

"Wait, Sushi, what are you doing?"

Qiansui wanted to step forward to stop Su Shi's actions, but it was too late. When Su Shi raised her head again, Qiansui found that Su Shi was crying.

"I'm sorry! I... I really want someone to be with me. My mother hadn't been home for a long time before our house burned down. I need someone to be with me. Please don't send me away! I really will do anything!"

"My parents are divorced, and I've never had a friend... You're the only person in the world who holds an umbrella for me on rainy days, takes me home, and boils water for me to bathe... Please, please let me be your friend. I swear I'll satisfy all your needs. I really have no friends..."

Such pitiful words. Although they are mixed with a few lies, most of them are indeed the heartfelt words from Su Shi's heart.

"Ah I…"

A long and emotional monologue assaulted Chitose's mind.

Her heart sank and she skipped several beats.

[This child really...why is he so lacking in love?]

I'm just a kind-hearted person who gave her a little sunshine, so why did she get so excited?

I was having a heart-to-heart talk with her just now, and I wished I could just give her all the bank cards at home.

This kid seems to be...crazy. He really shouldn't thank me and beg me so grandly.

[It seems that Su Shi is having a really bad time in real life. ]

Qiansui helped Su Shi up, but Su Shi used all his strength to resist Qiansui.

"I won't get up...wuwu, unless you agree to my request."

My dear sister Nagasaki Suyo, please don’t be like this!

"What request? Really...Isn't it enough for me to agree to it?"

"I..." Su Shi's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly grabbed Qiansui's wrist and said, "Be my friend for life!"

"It's so sudden. Although you are pitiful, I..."

"Please!" Su Shi saw that Qiansui had just softened his heart but still could not be touched by him, so he prepared to continue telling some little lies.

"Today I was planning to... end my life. If you hadn't saved me, I would..."

"What? Suicide?"

Qiansui was really anxious.

[No, no, how could you have such an idea?]

Seeing that she couldn't help Su Shi up, she knelt down with Su Shi.

"Don't think like that... We are friends! Yes! We are friends... So don't kill yourself, okay? Think about happy things... Uh."

There seems to be nothing happy in this child's life.

The floor was cold, and Chitose's back and forehead were covered in cold sweat.

What Su Shi meant was... if she hadn't gone out to buy fruit today, she would have killed herself.

[You must be joking! That's not what the script says.]

and many more…

Didn’t the system say before that everything is possible?

The simulation he had experienced was only the most likely of countless futures. In the real world, many factors could lead to unexpected events.

Just like...

The plain world before our eyes.

Qiansui got up first to cover his sister with the quilt, then grabbed Su Shi and walked out:

"Come out with me first, and we'll talk it out."

"Uh-huh!"

Tears, they will not tell others what kind of emotions they contain.

Because of this, Su Shi can cry without restraint without worrying that Qian Sui will notice the flaw.

Tears sneaked into her lips and teeth, and the bitterness and sweetness inside made Su Shi herself tremble.

She realized she was almost there! As long as... as long as she and Chitose could communicate well, they would definitely be able to become friends, right?

In this way, Su Shi was carefully pulled to the balcony by Qiansui.

Although the balcony of Noshiro House was pitifully small compared to the terrace of her own home, Su Shi did not feel crowded at all. Instead, she liked the atmosphere there.

A feeling of being a kid...

"Huh...Sushi! You're such a bother."

Noshiro Chitose sighed, but Su Shi knew that this was not a sign of disdain for her.

"Let's talk now. You must have a lot of things to tell me, right?" Qiansui felt like he had returned to the days when he was imitating Cheng Su Shi's mother.

She had helped Xiao Su Shi solve his problems in the same way before.

Seriously, how did the real world become like this without my own Su Shi?

You still want to commit suicide? How can you have the nerve to say such a thing in front of your mother!

"I…"

The moonlight is gentle, there is no wind tonight, and there are twinkling lights outside the house.

Even the rain stopped.

Su Shi's lips trembled a few times. She thought of many sad stories. She also knew that as long as she continued to complain, she would be able to move the girl in front of her.

But the excitement in my heart died down when it reached my lips.

【Perhaps, I shouldn't have lied... I feel a little regretful.】

Tell your story honestly, I hope...

I hope to hear Chitose's story too.

Is it okay to open up to someone after only knowing them for a few hours? Wouldn't that make you seem unlovable?

Should I be more reserved or...

【no! 】

Facing Qiansui's curious and concerned eyes, Su Shi immediately realized what he needed to do.
