I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Left alone, poor Nagasaki Suyo stood there at a loss as to what to do.

"Ah... Oh, Mom's gone to work again."

Looking around, it was empty and there was no trace of human touch at all.

Ms. Nagasaki didn't have time to bring all their luggage with her, and Su Shi sat on the bed wondering when she could go back to the old house and move her favorite little things over.

Although she had not seen Chitose Noshiro many times in this year, every meeting left a deep impression on her.

"My mom gave me lots of small gifts... She always brought me a lot of things I had never seen before. It's a pity that I didn't bring them to my new home."

Her favorite big rabbit doll can be placed next to the bedside table, and the little teddy bears can be huddled in the half-open cabinet under the desk, hmm...

It would be embarrassing to trouble my mother to go back with her to move. My mother is very busy and probably has no time to do this.

Nagasaki Suyo was lying on the bed, her hairband had fallen to the side but she didn't care.

"It's so empty... so cold... what should I do today?"

I'm about to graduate from elementary school and enter junior high school. I've seen my mother talking on the phone with the principal of Tsuki no Mori a few times... Will I be able to enroll in that school full of young ladies?

Can I really do it?

Junior high school, it really is such a distant word, even though it feels like I just entered elementary school not long ago.

But compared to his studies, Su Shi is more troubled by his current situation.

"My mother's career has flourished, but she has less time to spend with me... It's great that my mother has realized her life's value."

My 30-year-old mother’s free time has also decreased as her mother’s career has taken off. The last time we met was last month, right?

That day, Chitose brought her back to the cozy Noshiro house and treated the dieting Sushi to the barbecued rice she made herself.

"The food smells so good... I'm so hungry."

The sun was setting outside, and soon it dyed Su Shi's room orange and red.

Nagasaki Suyo sat up with her eyes closed, but the tip of her nose hit something very soft and elastic.

This thing is so elastic that it almost bounced Su Shi back onto the bed.

"Hmm? It's...year-old mom! When?"

Su Shi held her forehead with her hand, and what caught her eye was a silky black suspender skirt. She looked up along the other person's graceful figure, and saw a face that she was very familiar with.

"Long time no see, about a month now, right? How's my lovely little girl doing lately?"

Bending down, Noshiro Chitose's hand unconsciously supported Su Shi's chin. The smooth skin and delicate cheek were in close contact, quickly transmitting the emotions of both parties in both directions.

"!!!"

"Don't move, little darling. Look what I brought you."

Her every frown and smile brought Su Shi a familiar and nostalgic feeling. Noshiro Chitose put the bag on her back and brought it over with her other hand.

"Well, after all, my strength is limited, so I only brought a few things... Can we go home and move the rest tomorrow?"

"Hey! So Mom has already been to the old house."

"Yes, after all, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to living in a house without your familiar things."

While Su Shi was looking through her bag, Qiansui kept rubbing the other's little head with his hands.

"How about it, my lovely little Su Shi, do you like this place that your mother and I have worked so hard to build?"

Chitose Noshiro, who had been hiding in the closet waiting for Ms. Nagasaki to leave, followed her example and raised his hands as if to introduce the kingdom he had created.

[What does it mean to occupy the magpie's nest? Nagasaki-san, look at me! This is what it means to occupy the magpie's nest!]

Her appearance made Su Shi stunned.

"I like... me..." She wanted to tell Qiansui's mother what she had not finished saying to her mother just now, but Su Shi was afraid that she was still busy with work... and would leave her to continue working like her mother, so she hesitated and did not speak.

"What's wrong? You're so shy. So cute, my little Sushi."

Chitose Noshiro took the bag and took out the little teddy bear that she had given to Su Shi.

"How about I put this by your bed? We should take some time to set it up... Or how about I take you out for a nice meal later, and then I'll take you back to the old house to pick up some luggage."

Sister Nagasaki is really something.

When Noshiro Chitose thought of that unreliable idiot, she was speechless and wanted to laugh.

He brought his daughter to his new home, but in order to maintain the so-called mystery, he did not inform her in advance, so he did not bring any luggage.

Ms. Nagasaki, you are still like my little kid!

Sometimes Chitose Noshiro felt that when facing this mother and daughter, she was like facing her own immature eldest daughter and weak younger daughter.

"Hey! Mom, don't you need to go and do something soon? Mom is obviously very busy right now... I won't affect Mom's work, right?"

Su Shi covered her chest with her hands. She longed for companionship, but if this companionship came at the other person's sacrifice, she would rather not have this kind of companionship that damaged the life of the person she cherished.

She'll...feel guilty.

"Why, my lovely little girl."

Qiansui pulled Su Shi up, held his hand and walked towards the gate.

"Don't worry, the busiest period is over. I should have more time to spend with you from now on."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Qiansui remembered that Su Shi was about to go to junior high school.

Junior high school...

For every little protagonist in the simulation, junior high school is an incredible period.

Junior high school will be the best time for harvest!

"Really?"

"Oh really."

Su Shi's reaction was cute and satisfying to Chitose. Noh helped Chitose fix her hair, tilted her head and asked with a smile:

"I'll take you to drink ginseng chicken soup, okay?"

Ch84. I'm really addicted to it

[Ginseng Chicken Soup...]

That feeling is something I can never forget no matter how much time has passed.

The boiling ginseng chicken soup in the clay pot was served on the table, and the whole chicken appeared like a huge rock mountain in the boiling milky white soup.

The skin will peel off with a light touch of chopsticks.

The chicken meat was removed from the bones and mixed into the chicken soup along with a large piece of white glutinous rice that had become sticky, like an iceberg collapsing in the spring.

Collapse becomes a symbol of happiness.

After dinner it was time for the hard work of moving.

Chitose's mother has endless strength. She can move the luggage bag that Su Shi cannot move with just a wave of her hand.

Su Shi felt that she could always trust and rely on each other.

"I've been doing well lately. There's a lot more food in the refrigerator."

Chitose Noshiro opened the refrigerator door and vaguely remembered the empty refrigerator and the empty jam jars and shriveled bread loaves next to it a year ago.

"It's been pretty good lately. Mom doesn't come home very often, but our family's getting richer and richer, and I...I'm doing pretty well."

As material things become more abundant, Su Shi believes that his soul is also growing.

But when I say "I'm living a good life", it's hard to hide the loneliness in my heart.

Are you living...really well?

The family has enough food and drink, and the broken lights and faulty circuits have been repaired. The days when they could only rely on the small orange light bulb on the dining table for lighting seem to be long gone.

What's not to like about this kind of life? This kind of life...

"Is your mother getting further and further away from you?"

Chitose stuffed the last bit of Suye's clothes into the suitcase. She turned around while squatting on the ground and saw Nagasaki Suye fiddling with her little hands.

This child can never keep his thoughts to himself.

"Huh? Oh... Mom... how did you know?"

Noshiro Chitose narrowed her eyes slightly.

She wanted to say, "Children who haven't been loved well are all like this, aren't you stupid?", but she didn't say it.

"Because I saw sadness on Xiao Sushi's face."

Ms. Nagasaki had no way to deal with the fact that such a young child was allowed to grow up alone and was treated like "cold violence" at an age when he needed love the most. She could only continue to make the best of it.

Ms. Nagasaki was betting that Su Shi could adapt, or even if Ms. Nagasaki didn't think so, she subconsciously agreed to it.

But it’s different that she can represent Qiansui.

She will not continue this cold violence, which is not actually cold violence, because of Ms. Nagasaki's mistake.

"I've already told you that I see my own reflection in you. Don't be sad. Let's go home and clean up the room today. I'll sleep with you, and then I'll take you out for a day tomorrow. How about that?"

"Huh? Really?" Nagasaki Suyo was cautious even when expressing her happiness. She enjoyed her mother's company, but when she thought that this company would only be short-lived, she was once again...

"Don't think too much. I promised Xiao Sushi that I would spare at least one whole day every week to accompany you. How about that?"

"Really? But..."

"If I say I have time to spend with you, then I have time to spend with you."

"If you have any trouble in the future, just remember to come to me. Well... After all, Nagasaki-san is under a lot of pressure at work, so it's only natural for me to help her daughter."

"And well..."

Qiansui picked up little Sushi again, but she didn't expect that the child had grown so big that she could hardly hold him.

Nagasaki Suyo did not resist. She quietly felt Chitose Noshiro blowing hot breath into her ears, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Besides, Xiao Sushi is also my daughter. Isn't it my duty to accompany my daughter?"

Is it my duty to accompany my daughter? But my biological mother...

"I'm different," Qiansui seemed to be able to read minds, and she gradually dyed her own color into Su Shi's heart.

"Xiao Sushi, I will never let you down. I swore to you a long time ago, and it doesn't matter if I say it again now... I will definitely answer your call again and again. Please trust me more."

"Woo…Okay!"

How to defend against this, how to avoid this!

When a mature older sister whispers these words into a little girl's ear in a motherly tone, it is obvious what the little girl's reaction will be!

Nagasaki Suyo felt her face was very red, her ears were even smoking, her brain was burning and spinning, and circles seemed to appear in her eyes.

Just like the circles in Chitose's mother's eyes.

"How adorable, Sushi-chan."

It is as soft as a small pudding. It turns out that the daughter who is taken away from her best friend is the cutest.

As usual, Chitose pecked Su Shi lightly on the cheek, and seeing that the other party's brain had crashed again, Noriyo Chitose smiled even more happily where Su Shi couldn't see.

[I am as dazzling as the sun, you know you can’t live without me,]

[But if you approach blindly, you might get into trouble.]

【Don't get addicted to me, or you'll feel your life is dull without me. 】

……

Qiansui's staying power is so strong that every time they meet it's like he's pouring some mysterious liquid into Su Shi.

Only when I see Chitose can I feel great satisfaction, and once she leaves, every day after that... will become a painful torture.

They would call each other often and send each other careful messages day and night, just to get more of each other's company.

Why is it like this? Nagasaki Suyo doesn't know.

But whenever she is sad and worried, Qiansui will become the medicine that heals everything for her.

Chitose's every word can arouse Nagasaki Suyo's infinite fantasy and bring her to the fantasy land built by imagination.
