I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Like a fire burning...like...

【Where have you heard this before? 】

Can't remember.

But... now Mu has no brain left to think about this.

"Xiao Sui...don't run...we've come a long way, we..."

The words that came out of his mouth in a halting manner spoke more than the words he had spoken all day today. Although the streets were brightly lit on both sides, he could not see clearly what was ahead.

Wakaba Mutsu kept looking at Noshiro Chitose intently.

Chitose Noshiro is a fool, but also a gentle fool... I couldn't spoil her fun, so I followed her wishes and ran out together.

But it's really interesting.

"Thank you. Years old. But... I'm too tired to run anymore."

The beads of sweat on his forehead began to roll down, but Mu's stomach was still warm and comfortable.

"Huhu... I'm just looking for a safe place that's also spacious so I can play the guitar."

Chitose Noshiro raised the guitar behind her, and the black guitar seemed to be responding to Chitose Noshiro, making a buzzing sound.

"So where are we going?"

It doesn't matter where we go! Wakaba Mu isn't worried about the road ahead at all.

No one could feel more at ease now than her, holding Noshiro Chitose's hand.

"Here it is! Xiao Mu, this is my new secret base!"

Their forward steps stopped instantly, and their path stopped extending.

The night wind carried the leaves and brushed against Ruo Yemu's hair. When her black hair was rolled up, she was greeted by a shallow stream at the foot of the slope.

"So it's here!"

Isn’t this the place where I ate a cucumber during the day while secretly watching Noshiro Chitose and the white-haired girl playing and fighting?

Afraid that Qiansui had noticed his peeping during the day, when Ye Mu turned around to look at Qiansui, he found that the other party had a very comfortable look on his face.

"Yeah, Xiao Mu also takes this route after school."

"Normally, I don't leave. But. It's possible."

Ruoye Mu subconsciously put her hands in front of her body, and the empty feeling made her frown.

Compared to the daytime, her hands seemed to be missing something. What was missing? Missing...

"Years old, cucumber."

"cucumber?"

"Yeah. My cucumbers are left at your door. If you don't go back to get them today, I'll give them to you."

"Hey! Thank you, Xiaomu."

If Ye Mu didn't reply, she just shook her head silently to tell Qiansui not to thank her.

The water in front of me is still flowing with ripples, and what is surging is the unyielding vitality of the living water.

【Back to this place again.】

After going around in such a big circle, I'm back here... But, Ye Mu knows better than anyone... Standing here with others is only temporary.

Returning to that cold and strange family was her destined ending. No matter how she tried to escape, no matter how she went crazy...

I will still go home after the fun is over, and I will still become someone who is no longer needed after my value is reduced.

This is how her parents treated her, and this is how everyone treated her. Perhaps, this is her fate as Ruo Yemu...

hum-

The brisk guitar sound shattered Ruo Yemu's sorrow. She let her hair be blown into disarray by the wind, and her three thousand long black hairs flew everywhere.

The figure of the girl beside him swayed with the cheerful, crisp yet lingering and sad tune of the guitar. Noshiro Chitose and Wakaba Mutsu looked at each other for a moment, and with a smile on their lips, they instructed Mutsu to keep up with her pace!

"age…"

Did he detect my sadness at a glance again and continue to try to save my mood and life?

Watching the girl walking down the slope, Wakaba Mutsuya took his own step before the music became distant.

[Years old! You know, playing with you in this place is what I want to do most after school today.]

嗏

The downhill process was quick and peaceful, and until the end, Ruo Yemu was unable to express the words hidden deep in his heart.

However, Mu believes that Chitose Noshiro should be able to understand her feelings.

"Come on, Xiao Mu... let's go to the other side of the river!"

Jumping, dancing, and spinning, Qiansui's energy drives Mu's heartbeat.

"Uh-huh!"

Wakaba Mu lifted her skirt and followed closely behind him, stepping onto the stone bridge.

Don't think about them...think about Chitose Noshiro.

Noshiro Chitose is better than chicken soup.

Go...to the other side!

……

On the other side!

"I'm so tired...Xiao Mu, let me hold you for a while."

"Ah."

Sitting on the grass, Muhe Sui didn't care at all that their bodies were covered with grass debris. Chitose rested her head on Wakaba Mu's shoulder like a tired bird returning to its nest.

"Look up at the sky... ah, there are no stars at all! Damn the light pollution!"

The guitar was casually thrown aside, and Chitose pointed his finger at the sky.

"Won't your hands get tired, Xiao Sui? They've been raised all the time."

"Yes, and it's not just my hands that are sore."

"Are your legs sore too?"

Although his tone was still wooden, Chitose could already discern Wakaba Mu's emotions.

Mu must be happy now!

"Yeah, how did Xiaomu know that?"

Qiansui moved closer to Mu's body, and their four smooth legs intertwined to weave a beautiful picture.

"Because he's been dragging me around all day, my legs are sore."

Wakaba Mutsuki even added an interjection at the end of the sentence! How nice!

Qiansui smiled without saying anything, and finally sighed softly:

"I'll take you to Hida City someday. The night there is full of stars!"

"Ah."

The girls closed their eyes, and after all the fun, all that was left was a tired body and a full heart.

"I say...Xiao Mu, are you happy?"

"do not know."

"If you are happy, why don't you smile more now."

"Then I should be unhappy."

Ruoye Mu thought for a moment and added:

“But I’m quite happy at the moment.”

"The midnight snacks were great; Xiaosui was so gentle and kind to me; the chicken soup was delicious. Xiaosui's guitar playing is even better. I can't surpass him."

"Will you be sad if you can't surpass it?"

"No, because Xiaosui said that she would continue to play for me."

[Xiao Sui also said that it would make up for the part of my life that the guitar could not bring me.]

He slowly opened his eyes, and Mu's bad mood had melted away with the wind.

"So, I'm not sad."

The girl beside him felt warm, which reminded Ruoye Mu of those words.

She tilted her head to look at Qiansui, who had his eyes closed peacefully, and murmured in her heart:

[Seeing you walking or sitting, it feels like I am on fire.]

……

In 888 AD, the monk Faxin of Sanjie Temple wrote the "Text of Receiving the Ten Precepts" for conferring the ordination to a novice monk.

The text warns the novice monks: "This is a temporary connection. After a hundred years, each of us will follow the six realms and be unconnected."

But on the back of the suicide note, someone wrote a straightforward and passionate love poem:

The sun and the moon are always gazing at each other, and are inseparable from the heart.

Seeing you walking or sitting, it feels like I am on fire.

Ch440. “It turns out the stream is really this shallow.”

What else can modern people do away from their mobile phones?

When work is done, where else can we find a home and a place to put our hopes except by entrusting our spirit to the Internet?

Perhaps the embrace of a best friend is a perfect replacement for a cell phone and the internet.

"Xiao Mu."

On the way to send Wakaba Mutsu home, Noshiro Chitose suddenly spoke.

It is now twelve o'clock in the night, and Tokyo is still holding on and has not fallen asleep.

"?" Mu looked at Qiansui in confusion, but did not answer.

"It's okay. I like you very much, so I wanted to call your name before we say goodbye."

"Well, Xiao Sui is also very worthy of love."

Perhaps he was born indifferent, if Ye Mu had never shown an overly intense expression in front of Qiansui.

Her emotions were always indifferent, giving Chitose the illusion that she was easy to bully.

[I suddenly want to see this girl crying bitterly...]

The sudden strange feeling made Qiansui nervous, and she quickly adjusted her state by taking deep breaths.

"What the hell is this... I can't just keep getting sucked into simulations. Has even this thought been planted in my head?"

Terrible!

"arrive."

Mu Wu, who was leading the way in front, stopped and almost bumped into Qiansui if he followed him.

"That's great! I'll go home then." At the door of Wakaba's house, Qiansui did not raise his eyes to look at the luxurious villa beside him.

Her gaze lingered on the girl in front of her from beginning to end. Between breaths, she once again held Mu's hand:

"When you get home, take a good bath, drink a cup of hot milk, and rest. I'm really sorry about today, Xiao Mu."

"Uh-uh… um? Sorry?"

Whenever Chitose said something, Mu would nod her head seriously, but after hearing Chitose's last apology, she didn't react for a while:

"Why are you apologizing to me, old?"
