Can Lixi look at me alone?

"I know I'm not a normal person."

Xiangzi was processing the truth that he had personally sent Yuzuki to that kind of place and then completely forgotten about her, and he didn't react to Yuzuki's words at all.

But no reaction doesn't mean you didn't hear it.

"Xiang was afraid I'd go crazy. So he asked my parents to send me to that kind of place..."

Her pink hair shimmered with silver light under the moonlight, and her clear eyes were filled with tears.

I understand

It's okay that Xiang would do that, because Xiang is a normal person, while I am not…

She revealed her scars, showing them to Xiangzi one by one.

"But I want to know... I have never blamed Xiang for sending me to that kind of place, and I have never blamed... that I am still an abnormal human being."

She took Xiang's hand, letting her tears fall onto his skin.

Feeling the warm tears on the back of his hand, Xiangzi felt as if he had been electrocuted and wanted to pull his hand back. However, he was afraid of hurting Jieyue and forcibly suppressed the impulse.

"I just want to know, why... Xiang forgot me?"

"Why, Xiang, did you share the bento I gave to Lixi-chan? Why did you force me to keep a band that's causing me so much pain? Why do you say it's all my fault? Let…"

She covered her mouth and coughed violently.

Love you guys

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 146 Two People Lying Together

Xiangzi embraced Jieyue, whose whole body was trembling slightly from the pain.

This is the only thing she can do right now…

But is this really all she can do?

The soft strands of Yuzuki's hair tickled her chin.

"Yuzuki... are you feeling very unwell?"

She didn't answer, or rather... she simply didn't know how to answer Yuzuki's question.

Why, why did you deliberately forget me?

She bit her tongue hard.

I'm sorry, I didn't know. I... never knew it was really like that...

The pink-haired girl gave her a somewhat pale smile.

"It's okay, Xiang... I believe Xiang will handle everything. Whether in the past or now... Xiang is someone I can trust."

Having placed her complete trust in Xiangzi, the angel suppressed the urge to bite the bastard and whispered sweet nothings in his ear.

Is everything worthy of your trust...? Even if I've... forgotten everything about you, even if I've always refused to acknowledge this forgotten past?

Just as Xiangzi was about to say that he didn't deserve all this, he suddenly felt the girl in his arms convulse.

"Yatsuki?"

She could hear Yuzuki's soft, labored breathing as she tried to ease her pain, so she held her hand tightly, hoping to make her feel better...

"I'm sorry, Xiang."

She had just forcefully torn open her newly healing wound, and a little blood seeped through the gauze and onto Xiangzi's clothes.

After deliberately applying extra paint to her body, the girl tilted her head and apologized in a weak voice.

"You've dirtied Xiang's clothes..."

Why are you still concerned about this at a time like this?!

Slightly annoyed, Xiangzi waved for medical staff to bandage Jieyue. Jieyue then voluntarily left her embrace and sat on a nearby stool as the medical staff removed the gauze. Although the distance between the two was less than a few dozen centimeters... Xiangzi felt as if there was something separating her from the girl next to her.

Moreover, it's very difficult to break...

She reached out her hand, wanting for the first time to actively touch the girl beside her... the girl she had grown up with since childhood.

"Thank you."

Yuzuki's smiling thank you to the nurse brought Xiangzi back to reality. Yuzuki turned her head and saw the arm that the nurse hadn't pulled back yet, and then hugged it.

By placing Xiangzi in a position where the slightest movement would result in her being touched by something warm and soft, she dared not move much.

It was rare to see Xiang so embarrassed, and Jieyue's smile, hidden in her blind spot, became even more unrestrained.

"Yue, how are you feeling?"

Xiangzi blushed slightly as he softly asked her how she was feeling…

"I feel much better."

He deliberately spoke in a way that was so obviously hypocritical that anyone could hear it, and Yuki could clearly sense that Shoko's mood had dropped a bit.

But that's not enough.

Both Jieyue licked the corners of their mouths at the same time.

Xiao Xiang needs to put in more effort.

They began to talk about the past, and those warm secrets that belonged to the three of them were gradually returned to Xiangzi, filling in the blank areas in his memory.

"Xiang also remembers... When we used to play house, Xiang never let me touch your doll."

Xiangzi looked to the side somewhat awkwardly, trying hard to recall her memories... and found that it was indeed the case.

When I was little, I was always arguing and bickering with Yuzuki, but I always won.

"I really don't know what's so good about that doll... But, does Xiang still remember my doll?"

The pink-haired girl rubbed her fingers together; she began to fabricate lies.

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Xiangzi nodded helplessly.

"Yes, I still remember that doll."

She's lying, just like Yuzuki... Both of them lied about this issue.

Xiangzi was unaware that Jieyue was lying, but Jieyue knew that Xiangzi was lying.

That makes things more interesting.

Feeling uneasy, Xiangzi decided to agree with everything Jieyue said to prove that he had not completely forgotten his friend.

"I see. It seems Xiang must remember our agreement, right?"

The blue-haired girl's lips twitched for a moment before she nodded slightly.

"Of course I remember. How could I forget my promise to Yuzuki..."

I can't remember at all.

Xiangzi couldn't bear to tell Jieyue the cruel truth, who trusted him wholeheartedly, so he could only keep weaving a dream for her with lies.

Yuzuki secretly rolled her eyes.

She didn't like being treated like a fool, but she had achieved her goal...

"hey-hey…"

Hearing the soft laughter beside him, Xiangzi nervously swallowed.

She was truly afraid of what Yuzuki would say next.

"Xiang, tell me what we agreed on?"

Such a question, if she were to make something up now, would probably be of no use. However… perhaps it was the effect of her constant prayers that made Yuzuki skip the topic.

As if knowing she was lying, they skipped over the topic.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Xiangzi hurriedly followed her, sincerely hoping that he hadn't made any promises to her.

"Xiangzhen is really amazing..."

Yuzuki seemed sleepy, her pink head resting on her shoulder. Xiangzi only needed to lower his head to smell the delicate fragrance of her hair.

"No, Yuzuki is amazing too... isn't she? She's great at keyboards, and her cooking is amazing... her food is delicious."

As Xiangzi gently comforted Yuzuki, he felt a slight warmth on his shoulder.

"Xiangzhen... really... is so amazing. I've always admired Xiangzhen since I was little..."

What do you envy about me...? What do I have that you should envy? I'm just a criminal who forgot his friends and kept hurting them.

Xiangzi didn't answer her, but instead kept stroking the back of her head. He was trying to soothe Jieyue in this way…

"Xiang's family all love Xiang so much... Xiao Mu and I..."

The perfectly timed silence prompted Xiangzi to chime in.

"Yue's family is harmonious and loves you very much."

She heard two dismissive chuckles beside her.

.

"Haha, I've admired Xiang's talent since I was a child. He can do anything quickly and well... The adults praise Xiang every day."

This matches Xiangzi's memory perfectly. Every time she finished a teaching assignment, the teacher would praise her for her talent... As for Yuzuki Kazumi, it seems that she was just praising her along with the teacher.

"And... Xiang has always said that he wants Xiao Mu and me to call you 'Big Sister'."

Yuzuki revealed her childhood quirk and enjoyed watching Xiangzi's shy expression.

"This, this is..."

Yuzuki's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if she had reached her physical limit... Just as she had been persevering to spend more time with Shoko, she could no longer hold on at this moment.

Love you guys

"Why...why don't you say..."

Jieyue's voice grew weaker and weaker, and even when Xiangzi put his ear to her mouth, he could only barely hear it.

"I like you the most."

Xiangzi's body trembled slightly, and then he quickly hugged Jieyue tightly.

The conversation just now was packed with information... really, really packed with information.

She needs time to sort things out.

First, there's the part she cares about most...

Xiangzi gently stroked Jieyue's head in his arms, recalling his conversation with her, and finally confirmed...

I really forgot about Yuzuki.

And the reason for forgetting her is probably because... he didn't want to take on those responsibilities.

But it's alright, now that she's remembered, she... will take care of Yuzuki.

This is a matter of dignity… but she just doesn’t understand. Why was Yuzuki really sent to that kind of place just because she insisted that ‘Yuzuki is a liar, Yuzuki isn’t normal! Yuzuki can hear dolls talking!’—words that were no different from a child’s argument?

She didn't understand why this was happening, but she knew how to guess to get closer to the truth.

It can only be because Yuzuki has truly had this illness since childhood... and because she was discovered herself, she was sent to the hospital for treatment. It's just that the treatment failed, leading to Yuzuki's current condition...

So, the main responsibility for the accident doesn't lie with her, does it? It's because Yuzuki's parents didn't take good care of her and made the decision to take her away.
