Can Lixi look at me alone?

She took Yuzuki's cold fingers, gripped them tightly through the bandages, and reluctantly placed them into the blanket.

"How are things going with Xiangzi and that guy?"

Lixi's question made her slightly stunned.

"Xiang went to get her bandaged up."

As for anything else, Mu had no intention of saying anything. After all, Li Xi hadn't asked.

"...What about Yuzuki? She's about to graduate from junior high school. What will happen to her high school education?"

She asked a rather practical question, hoping to get an answer from Yuzuki's good friend, Mutsuki.

Mu lowered his head and began to think.

"I can't go to Tsukimori. I can't go to Haneoka either."

This method of elimination made Li Xi purse her lips involuntarily.

If she hadn't known that Mutsu wouldn't mock Yuzuki, she would have really suspected that Mutsu was being sarcastic about Yuzuki's inability to get into high school.

"Yes, I know all that. Yuzuki...do you want to go to school?"

Mu shook his head.

"Yuzuki doesn't want to go to school."

"Yuzuki only wants to see her friends."

Li Xi understood...

"So, whether Yuzuki wants to go to school depends solely on how many of her friends are in that school, is that what you mean?"

Mu nodded.

"Never mind, you'll definitely go to Tsuki no Mori. What about Hachiman? Where did she go? Chihaya will go to England, I can go to Hanasaki River or Haneoka. Wherever Yuzuki goes, I'll go."

Lixi turned her gaze to Hanasaki River.

Haneoka and Tsuki no Mori do not accept the moon.

What about Hanasaki Kawa, one of the students?

Hanasakikawa, whose school has always had a relaxed academic atmosphere, should be able to accept her...

Furthermore, that young lady, Su Shi, definitely won't go to Hanasaki River, and she probably won't bother Yuzuki either.

Hmm, it seems that Hanasakikawa is indeed the most suitable person for Yuzuki.

Reaching out to gently stroke Yuzuki's cheek, Riki slightly lifted her chin with his index finger, arranging her at an angle where he could kiss the sleeping Yuzuki.

Realizing belatedly that Mu was still watching, Lixi kissed Jieyue's cheek, then looked at her wrist, which was being tightly held by Mu, and gestured for Mu to turn off the light.

"I need to rest with Yuzuki."

She shook the crescent-shaped hand that was connected to her.

But Mu didn't listen to her.

She wasn't a good girl today.

So even if Yuzuki woke up and asked her to leave, she...

She will probably still listen to Yuzuki, but Yuzuki won't let her go out.

So she took off her coat and carefully squeezed into Jieyue's quilt.

Then he pulled the pink-haired girl into his arms, not letting Lixi touch her.

Kizuki took a leisurely drag of her citrus-scented cigarette and watched Riki walk off to turn off the lights.

"I like Yuzuki."

Volume 1 Crychic!!!: Chapter 159 Sleeping Together

The nurse on night shift helped Chu Hua treat her wound. Looking at Xiangzi's concerned eyes so close to her, she felt that all the grievances she had endured that day were worth it.

"Xiao Xiang, are you tired? Do you want to go and rest?"

The teenage idol gently grasped the hand that was stroking the bandage on her head and asked in as soft a voice as possible if the other person needed to rest.

The answer is yes, it is absolutely necessary.

Xiangzi was exhausted, constantly exhausted. If she hadn't had those two brief rests beside Jieyue in the ambulance, she wouldn't have made it this far…

Shoko, who had been preoccupied with how to handle Yoshiyuki's situation, snapped out of her reverie.

"It's alright, Chu Hua should get some rest."

After all, he got hurt because he was helping me.

She sighed and lowered her fingers from stroking Chu Hua's bandages.

"Um, then..."

Can you come home with me?

No, you can't say that... Xiao Xiang will dislike me because he thinks I have no sense of distance.

Can I take Xiaoxiang home?

That's not quite right. Xiao Xiang probably doesn't want to take me home yet, or let me see her private things like where she lives.

Xiao Xiang... let's go together.

That's a better way to put it!

"Shall we go together, Xiao Xiang?"

She seemed to already see Xiangzi's answer, smiling and nodding at her, her gentle voice guiding her in which direction to go. Then they parted ways at a crossroads, each wishing the other to be careful...

"I'm sorry, Chu Hua, I'm still needed here, Jie Yue."

The teenage idol was stunned for a moment, but her long-term training prevented her from being dumbfounded after being rejected like a fool.

"Oh, I see. Xiao Xiang, take care of yourself too. Feel free to call me anytime. Goodbye!"

No, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye so soon!

She tried to suppress the refusal that came out of her mouth, but in the end she failed.

We shouldn't have troubled Xiao Xiang.

I don't have the right to bother Xiao Xiang... I'm probably not nearly as important to Xiao Xiang as Mu He and Jie Yue.

So, it's time to go home obediently.

Goodbye, Chuhua.

Ah, Xiao Xiang said... goodbye. That means he's kicking me out...

Wearing a baseball cap to cover his facial features, he also concealed the bandages wrapped around his golden hair.

It's time to go home.

I went back to that rented apartment to lick my wounds...

Xiangzi watched her leave downstairs, then walked towards Jieyue's ward. Pushing open the door, he discovered three people were already in her bed. Looking around, he saw there was still room for him; he could squeeze in and get some sleep if he wanted.

But does she... still have the right to squeeze into bed with someone else?

She used to steal Yuzuki's blanket quite a few times when they took naps together. If Yuzuki remembers this now, she'll probably be even more upset when she wakes up tomorrow morning and sees herself.

Xiangzi gently closed the door and sat on a chair in the corridor outside the ward.

This place isn't enough to last one night... A hospital would be safe enough...

That way, she can see Jieyue when she wakes up tomorrow before leaving, and besides, she can't go anywhere else now.

The mental exhaustion made her lie down in the chair, unable to move an inch. The light, which seemed like it would never be turned off, was suddenly switched off.

So the lights in the inpatient ward are turned off too...

This was her last thought before she fell asleep.

However, she should also be grateful that if it weren't for the food provided by Jieyue, she would probably be a sickly and weak Xiaoxiang who is cold, hungry, tired and sleepy right now.

……

The moon is equal and gentle to everyone.

Silvery moonlight shone through a corner of the curtains that weren't fully drawn, falling on the pink-haired girl's cheeks.

It was as if a mother was gently calling her child, softly waking her from the hospital bed.

The girl, who had sat up, glanced at Mu, who was clinging to her arm, and slowly pulled her arm away without waking her. Then she gently untied Li Xi's arms from her slender, soft body and placed them back under the covers.

Today, it seems I did a lot of... amazing things.

After resting for a while, with her loved one by her side, Yuzuki regained her composure.

Even though she knew she was nothing more than a worthless person who was liked only because she was pretending, she still... wanted to hold on to this false happiness.

At least in terms of taste, this false happiness is no different from real happiness.

Chu Hua, you're hurt... Are you badly injured? Will this affect her career? It's all my fault. If I had just held back, this wouldn't have happened...

At least, it won't look this bad...

Did Xiao Xiang go back?

If I go back...

"Hehe...ha...hahaha..."

She covered her mouth to avoid waking her friend in bed with her laughter.

Chu Hua, Chu Hua is sure to get a severe scolding from Xiao Xiang, right? How dare he call me mentally ill... He deserves to die, he deserves to die, he deserves to die!

No, no... Yuzuki, don't think like that.

We need to create a soft, comfortable surface that everyone can feel comfortable with, so that we won't be discriminated against.

No, you can't think of Chu Hua like that...

But that damn dog kept biting me, and it even dared to keep mentioning...

Entering the bathroom, a sickly smile appeared in the mirror. Yuzuki gently stroked her cheek, slowly controlling the corners of her mouth, bringing them back to that warm and comforting curve.

Yeah, that's right.

Chu Hua hurt me, but... just hurting her and making her bleed isn't enough...

She turned on the tap and, noticing the bandages still wrapped around her hands, impatiently ripped them off, revealing her palms where the wounds had already healed.

Satisfied to find no marks left, the girl continued to pull at the bandages. She had been worried that this body—one of the few things she possessed—would be ruined, but now it seemed…

she was

He stroked every inch of his arms, which had once bore wounds of varying depths, and felt the smooth, delicate skin beneath his fingertips.

No wounds were left.

How lucky!

Whether out of excitement or anxiety, Jieyue bit her nails as she walked out of the bathroom, preparing to return to bed to rest, pondering what to do about Xiaoxiang.

What if that guy goes home, sleeps without a window, catches a cold, gets a fever, gets sick, and dies?

Although she might be very happy, the thought of it made her eyes well up with tears.

Why? Why can't I... get rid of you?

Toyokawa Shoko?

Aren't you being too greedy? You've already ruined my life. The only purpose I was born was to be a toy in your eyes.
