I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

But why is a dream so real?

This dream made Gao Songdeng cry even more sadly than the one he had yesterday about his sister falling to her death.

"Huh...huh..."

He rolled over on the floor, but Gao Songdeng's sobbing still couldn't stop.

"Then... the next day was just drinking to drown my sorrows. I didn't become someone else's savior at all. I let Xiao Sui down... I couldn't do it at all... I, I, sob... "

Why did my life suddenly become such a failure?

Everything is getting better, obviously...

"Xiao Deng? Are you okay? Why did I hear something falling to the ground?"

The lamp fell from the second floor of the bed. Although there was a large pillow on the floor that was kicked off while sleeping last night, the blue arm of the lamp proved that she was not in good condition.

"I, I'm fine..."

This kind of explanation with a crying tone is totally unconvincing!

Gao Songguang pushed the door open with her concerned look and hugged Gao Songdeng who was twitching on the floor.

"Xiao Deng! What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Not good at all, not good at all...

"I... wuwuwu, Mom..."

"I had a really long nightmare... It was really, really long."

It started out as a beautiful dream! It was a beautiful dream! Why did it turn into a nightmare in the end... Why did it happen like this!

The dream ends with middle-aged Gao Songdeng sitting in a pub that is about to go bankrupt. His memories from his twenties to his forties and fifties are very vague, basically non-existent.

This may be related to the fact that she drank all day to drown her sorrows after his death.

At the end of the dream, the no longer young alcohol lamp was drinking alone with a beer of an unrecognizable brand.

She accused the air with a tone full of regret and unwillingness.

[Why did my little...she died...]

If parallel worlds exist, is Chitose Noshiro from the other Takamatsu Tomoe also dead? Am I the only one...hesitating? Impossible, no...no, why is Chitose Noshiro from the other parallel world still alive while only my Chitose Noshiro is gone?

[If a parallel world existed... if that Takamatsu Touma was still young... I could only bless you and curse you... I wish you and Chitose could be lifelong friends. If you meet her, you won't be able to escape. This is fate...]

[And if you are the younger me, and you still happen to be feeling lost, then I curse you.]

I curse you to make the same mistakes I made. I curse you to be like me... unable to move forward in your life... I really hate my younger self. I'm sorry...

"Woo... wow... mom..."

Holding Takamatsu Hikaru's shoulders tightly, Takamatsu Hikaru suddenly burst into tears even more intensely.

"Be good, mommy is here, mommy is here."

The mother's voice was still so gentle, but this gentleness could not soothe the crying Gao Songdeng.

My heart feels empty, as if something is missing... What is missing?

"Mom...I may never forget her..."

"Huh? What?"

Gao Songguang blinked in confusion, she found that things seemed to be beyond her control.

My daughter is... in love?

"That's fine, Xiao Deng. Mom fell in love when she was about the same age as you, ahem..."

"Ah? Mom! So you also... wuwuwuwu..."

So my mom also killed her best friend when she was young! Wow, could this be genetic?

"Yes, it was during the summer vacation before high school that I met..."

Guang originally wanted to say that she met Takamatsu Yuji, but her daughter's crying interrupted her.

"Wow, mom, I... I feel so bad, it was just..."

You are just a dream, why are you so real!

Ch35. Go get a job, Miss Xiangzi!

Kyoto Haizuka is the biggest idiot in the world!

After waking up, you start making cute "Mmm" sounds. Who are you trying to make so cute?

Chitose hugged Kyomoto reluctantly, and her disheveled hair made Kyomoto feel uncomfortable.

"Sister! Your hair is so prickly... woooo."

Kyomoto said he felt uncomfortable, but he did not resist the careful abuse of his own Chitose.

My sister has been acting really weird these past two days. As soon as she sees me, she acts like she hasn't seen me for months or even years, and she keeps hugging me.

There's really nothing we can do about her.

"Sister~"

"Wow, yes, that's what you call me. Call me more. I haven't heard it in a long time... I love Kyomoto the most, wow, wow, wow..."

"Okay, sister, sister, sister!"

“Wuwuwuwuwuwu…”

Noshiro Chitose burst into even more intense sobs until there was a knock on the door.

“Who, who is it?”

Don’t you know that there is a pair of poor sisters sticking together in the room?

Chitose wiped her tears with Kyomoto's hair and walked towards the door when Kyomoto puffed up his face to express his dissatisfaction.

"Hello, I'm Fengchuan from next door... This is my return gift for the gift I just gave you... Please accept it!"

Toyokawa Shoko was dressed neatly as if she had dressed up specially.

She stood on the doorstep with a little restraint, presenting a small box with both hands.

"Hey? Hello Xiangzi, just call me Qiansui!"

Chitose Noshiro's eyes were still red, but she still carefully identified what Xiangzi's gift was.

She often uses this thing in simulations. This is...

"If you're all right, I'll be leaving first. Thank you again, Noshiro... Chitose, for your concern. Thank you... and please bear with me for my poor attitude this morning."

"Is this a pick? How did you know I can play guitar? Hehe."

"hehe…"

In response to Chitose Noshiro's words, Shoko Toyokawa just turned her head away in embarrassment.

How would she know what Qiansui could do?

However, the only presentable and decent gift in her family was the custom-made pick that Ruoye Mu had given her as a birthday present.

She was reluctant to part with the pick, but if she didn't return the favor or the return wasn't decent enough, Toyokawa Shoko would feel even worse.

"As long as you like it..."

"Sister? Who's that outside?"

"Ah, it's Xiangzi from next door!" Kyomoto's voice came from the living room, and Chitose put away the pick and responded.

"Xiaoxiang, do you want to go in and do it?"

"Xiao...Xiang?"

Seeing that Chitose's way of addressing her changed from Toyokawa to Xiangzi and finally to Xiaoxiang, Toyokawa Xiangzi couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This guy...how come he's more familiar than I used to be?

"No need, I still have to look for a job, so I won't bother you for now."

"Looking for a job? What a coincidence! I'm looking for a job too! Come in and sit for a while! I'll take care of my sister and then we can go out and look for one together."

"I…"

"Since you're here, don't be polite."

Before Toyokawa Shoko could react, Noshiro Chitose pushed her onto the sofa.

"My family is not well off, so I only have a small amount of tea. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I don't need to drink..."

Xiangzi felt that any refusal would be useless with Chitose Noshiro, because she would always use her passionate tenderness to force him to obey.

But this kind of compulsion will not make people feel disgusted, but will make people feel comfortable.

This may be because Qiansui's tone is too soft, or it may be because the other person looks too delicate.

The vibrant vitality is fully displayed in Miss Noshiro.

Chitose was making tea, and Kyomoto was lying on the sofa rubbing his eyes, looking for his sister.

"elder sister?"

"I'm here, Xiaojing, why don't you sleep a little longer? I'm going to look for a new job with Xiaoxiang and will be back soon."

"Hey? Hello, Sister Xiangzi."

Although Kyomoto didn't know where Toyokawa Shoko was sitting, he could roughly guess from the degree of depression of the sofa and the position from which Shoko spoke that she was twenty centimeters to her left.

"Hello, excuse me for disturbing you."

It was the first time for Shoko Toyokawa to visit her neighbor's house.

There are few memories of the two sisters. Chitose had to go to school and work every day. Sometimes she could hear the other one coming home after nine o'clock. Her life was even harder than hers.

And Kyoto?

To be honest, until today, Xiangzi didn't know that the other party had a younger sister.

Sympathy flashed in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes. She knew that there were people in the world who had a harder life than her, but...

Looking around and seeing no sign of his parents, Xiangzi gradually understood everything when he looked at little Kyoto who was playing with his teddy bear obediently on the sofa.

How can someone who raises a sister with eye problems by herself still be so cheerful? Chitose is indeed a friend worth making.

"Why is Xiaoxiang in a daze?"

"Oh, Chitose, I was wondering where I could find a part-time job."

"Call me Xiaosui, Qiansui or something like that...it feels a bit weird?" Because he had been called Xiaosui for a long time in the simulation, Qiansui now feels very strange when hearing others call him by his name.

"Okay...Xiao Sui." Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and glanced at Noshiro Chitose who was holding her hand, and suddenly felt a little doubtful about her life.

Just talk, don’t use violence!

Why is she so enthusiastic about me? Could it be that we have known each other before?

Noshiro Chitose smiled without saying anything, took a sip of tea and went to help Kyomoto comb his hair.

She was indeed very interested in this Toyokawa Shoko.

I'm afraid that I will never forget the name that Gao Songdeng mentioned when he was crying and telling about his experience that night.

Toyokawa Shoko.

Isn’t this her good neighbor, the drunkard Toyokawa Shoko?

It’s just that this Toyokawa Shoko is different from the young lady described by Deng...wait.

"Xiaoxiang, the button on your collar seems to have fallen off? Do you want me to help sew it up?"

"Eh? Oh, I'm so sorry. It's so rude to come visit wearing something like this!"

Without waiting for Xiangzi to apologize, Qiansui took out the needle and thread and buttons.

"It's okay, take it off quickly and let me sew you up."

"This... well, sorry for the trouble."
