I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"Kiss me..."

In this situation, I have to keep you under control, Shiina Riki.

Ch216. Noshiro Chitose's third phase plan

Shiina Tatsuki is a bit awkward, and so is Noshiro Chitose.

So the clumsy intimate contact was met with heavy gasps a minute later.

"Huh... Stupid Li Xi, you idiot bastard! Stupid bastard!"

Qiansui spoke like she was acting coquettishly, and her nervousness just now was definitely not acted out.

This was the first time she had such an idea... Compared to constantly rewriting the fate of the girls around them, this was indeed more difficult.

"Xiao Sui... I... I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

Shiina Riki kept recalling the feeling just now. For the first time, she realized that there were things sweeter than honey.

"Don't say that! I just wanted to do it, so I did it... That's how it's portrayed on TV, uh..."

[It's cute, but you can't do this to others, okay?]

"Of course, only Lixi is special. Lixi is me... my ear, Lixi is a part of me... We are best friends... best... friends..."

Are you really good friends?

This is what Li Xi thought as he took off his clothes.

"Lixi..."

Qiansui buried most of her body under the water, with only a small part of her face exposed as she spoke in a daze.

"what happened?"

"I...I'm much better now, thank you. But my hearing aids are running out. Next time, don't use water to absorb them directly...it will break."

The way you treat your hearing aids roughly is like torturing a criminal.

"Ahem, I was in a hurry just now and didn't think too much about it."

On the washstand not far away, there were hearing aids that were damaged by being soaked in tap water. Li Xi looked embarrassedly at the pair that Chitose Noshiro had just put on.

"Is this one still useful?"

"What did you say?"

The moment Riki's clothes were all pushed off, Noshiro Chitose immediately pulled Shiina Riki over.

Their noses touched each other, and finally Chitose spoke slowly:

"Little Lixi... do you know what it's like to carry a hearing aid that's been damaged by water?"

"what?"

"It's uncomfortable, and I can even hear the sound of electricity, but...thank you for helping me pick up the broken one and taking it home. I think that even if that pair is no longer used, it can still carry this memory that belongs to you and me..."

Qiansui's eyes were firm and unwavering:

"So, please take good care of those broken hearing aids for me. They're... a mixture of hearing and pain."

The hearing aid that Chitose Noshiro discarded represents Shiina Riki's redemption of her.

That's the way it is.

……

Night fell and the rain outside never stopped.

In Noshiro Chitose's bedroom, Chitose and Riki were resting on a bed.

They whispered to each other for a long time, and only said good night to each other when the exhausted and overstimulated Shiina Riki was so tired that she could not open her eyes.

It seems that Chitose can end tonight's story here.

but--

Under the gaze of the moon, Chitose Noshiro opened her eyes.

Five golden rings were slowly rotating in the golden pupils, and the sixth ring was taking shape like an offspring being nurtured in the womb.

Although, it's not very obvious yet.

When the gentle whispers disappeared, the fragility and pity on Noshiro Chitose's face were no longer there.

She walked to the curtains and opened them with the hands that had embraced Shiina Riki, allowing the moonlight to fill the bedroom.

"The third stage seems to have completely begun."

Chitose held up two fingers.

She divided the simulation into four stages.

Phase one: the fateful entanglement starting from falling into the lake.

Stage two: the collision of two broken souls after they met.

"The third stage is..."

Looking back at Shiina Tatsuki who was still sleeping soundly and snoring softly, Noshiro Chitose tried her best to restrain all the emotions in her heart.

"Emotions began to surge restlessly in the dark..."

The relationship between you and me will progress step by step until the beginning of the fourth stage. My...

"Little Lixi."

Qiansui placed the notebook she had been writing in for many years in the most conspicuous place on the desk. She adjusted the angle for a long time and deliberately opened the diary to a certain page.

"Tonight's story has never ended."

After putting on the hearing aid, Qiansui stroked Li Xi's delicate profile with his fingers before walking out of the bedroom.

The other person hummed a few times and then continued to sleep.

That's the way it is.

"If we reach stage four, the story is almost over."

My dear child, enjoy what may be the most wonderful and happiest period of your life.

……

“Mmm…”

After an inexplicable loud noise, Shiina Riki's eyelashes trembled a few times and he woke up slowly.

She subconsciously picked up the phone beside her and checked the time.

"It's only four o'clock... Is the neighbor next door crazy? It's so noisy."

His handsome eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and Li Xi impatiently pulled up the quilt covering his body.

In the past, when she stayed overnight at Chitose's house, she always slept in the guest room, but today was different.

Today she slept on Qiansui's bed, which was covered with Qiansui's aura!

She was surrounded by the scent of her best friend Chitose Noshiro, and Li Xi was so happy.

She subconsciously stretched her hand to the side. If Li Xi remembered correctly, she fell asleep while holding Qiansui in her arms.

Can…

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"No! How old am I?"

I touched nothing, and the place beside me felt cold, as if no one had ever slept there.

Shiina Riki suddenly opened her eyes, and with the bright moonlight she could see the entire scene in the room.

Her side...

There is no such thing as a thousand years old!

"Am I dreaming? But isn't this Xiaosui's home?"

Li Xi sat up from the bed and looked at the surrounding furnishings in confusion.

Because he had just woken up and his brain had not yet fully started, Shiina Riki sat along the edge of the bed for a long time before he came to his senses.

she thinks:

[Maybe he got up to go to the bathroom... It's okay, I'll wait for Xiao Sui for a while before going back to sleep.]

Supporting her shaking head with her arms, Li Xi's sleepiness gradually swept over her mind, and it seemed that she would fall asleep in the next moment.

But soon, another loud noise completely woke Lixi up. She put her ear close to the wall, trying to hear where the noise came from.

Now, she couldn't sleep at all.

Putting on the nightgown that Qiansui prepared for her, Lixi sat at the desk waiting for Qiansui's return.

But his sight was firmly captured by something.

"This is?"

A diary?

"Is this Xiaosui's diary?"

The bright and beautiful handwriting and the various graffiti that Li Xi was familiar with all proved who the owner of the diary was.

Shiina Riki swallowed nervously, his hands uncontrollably touching the paper.

"It seems like reading someone else's diary... is a bad thing to do, right?"

Otherwise, just pretend you didn’t see it and go back to lying down.

Xiaosui will be back soon...right?

...... ...... ......

Ch217. Above the diary, between the words

"How about forget it."

Reading someone else's diary is like peeping into their innermost privacy.

Even if their lips had touched each other, they had looked at each other, embraced each other, enjoyed each other's breath, and regarded each other as the incomplete part of each other's soul...

It does not mean that she, Shiina Riki, is qualified to see Chitose Noshiro's personal privacy.

Tatsuki Shiina believes that if you love someone, especially your best friend, sister, or girlfriend, you need to show the greatest respect.

Li Xi stood up and was about to leave when she subconsciously glanced at the diary, but after just one glance she could no longer look away.

She saw a...

A huge word "death".

"!!!"

What the hell? Huh?

"Huh? Why would you write that?!"

The string called rationality in his mind suddenly broke, and Li Xi was forced to take seriously the diary on Qiansui's desk.

[My name is Chitose Noshiro, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm a second-year student at Hanegaoka Junior High School. But compared to other kids, I'm a little bit special.]

[Unfortunately, I am deaf and a hearing-impaired person.]

This is the passage written on the paper cover. Although it is short, it is shocking enough.

Just by seeing it, Riki finds it hard to forget her evil deeds... because Noshiro Chitose's deafness is her fault, and even though she has such a close relationship with the other party, Shiina Riki still cannot speak of this tragic fact.

She was afraid that she would never tell the truth in her life. After all... the thing Li Xi feared most had happened.

As their relationship progressed, Li Xi became more protective of the secret, making it more difficult to tell.

"Ugh."

The words in the diary continue.
