Can Lixi look at me alone?

Mu, who was listening to the doctor's advice with Su Shi, turned her head and glanced at Jieyue's ward.

"Actually, the patient is fine and can be discharged this afternoon. Please don't let her drink so much coffee in the future, otherwise she'll probably come back again."

I can be discharged this afternoon…

If possible, Mu would never have left Lixi in the hospital room. But Su Shi, unaware of the truth…

"Xiao Lixi must communicate well with Xiao Jieyue and explain the problem clearly."

This requirement led to Lixi receiving the position.

Mu felt that this was... fine. As long as Lixi was willing to speak nicely, it would be easy to coax Jieyue.

She couldn't do it; she wasn't that important to Yuzuki...

Soft little hands clenched in front of her.

But it's okay, she'll be there for Yuzuki whenever she needs her.

Because they are 'playmates'.

She just didn't know how her playmate was feeling.

"I didn't mean that...it's just..."

Yuzuki didn't want to hear her voice anymore. She forcefully pressed her lips against hers, tasted the sweet flavor she had been longing for, and then let go of her hands.

"Why are you staring at me so wide-eyed? Why are you so surprised? Hey... you're actually shy..."

Seeing the blushing cheeks of the black-haired girl in front of her, Yuzuki burst into laughter, mocking her feigned modesty.

"Shouldn't you have done this kind of thing with the lamp many times? Shouldn't you have slept with the lamp... many times?! Oh, I know... I know! Because I'm not the lamp, I'm not the lamp! So I can't do these things, right, right?!"

Before she could answer, Yuzuki left another bite mark on her neck.

"But I don't care. I don't care about you, I don't care about the lamp. Let her do whatever she wants. I just want to know, what makes her worthy of your affection? You should clearly like me..."

Riki's silence provoked Yuzuki's anger.

"Even now, do you still intend to side with Deng, afraid that I'll cause trouble for him if I find out?"

This has nothing to do with the light; it's all my fault…

Lixi looked at Jieyue's wide eyes and belatedly realized what she had just said.

"I see... I understand."

The sudden calm signifies that the final explosion is imminent.

Not understanding any of this, Lixi wanted to hug him again, but…

It's too late.

“That day, that day… Lixi saved me from in front of that car… Lixi, do you remember?”

Yuzuki's temperament returned to its former gentleness.

"Lixi is amazing... She suddenly caught my eye. That's when I fell in love with her. I love her scent, her looks, her gentleness... I love everything about her."

Yuzuki spoke to herself about her humble feelings.

"Before I met Lixi, my world was black and white. I felt that nothing had any meaning. I hated the sun, I hated the stars, I hated the plants by the roadside, and I hated everyone I met. Because the only purpose of their existence was for me to look at them."

Deng sat at the door of the ward, covering her mouth to suppress her sobs.

Xiaojieyue… I'm so sorry, so sorry! If, if only I had known all this sooner, I…

"But, but after meeting Lixi! I feel like the world has become colorful!"

Her voice had lost its previous strength and became somewhat weak.

Maybe it's because of poor health...

It could also be because... they gave up.

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! Chapter 73: Li Xi is not like that.

“Lixi entered my world, and at that moment… I really wished that you could always be by my side.”

Lixi, biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying, nodded gently.

But Yuzuki no longer cared whether she would respond.

"I crave Lixi's body warmth, so I'll pretend to be cold... waiting for Lixi to hold my hand or give me her coat..."

This was the first time she smiled in front of Lixi today, as if she was reminiscing about that wonderful time.

"I really like Lixi so much. I'm willing to cook lots and lots of delicious food for you, and I'm also willing to practice keyboarding until dawn for you."

She covered her mouth and coughed lightly a few times, ignoring the water glass Lixi offered her, and continued speaking.

"Things I used to think were meaningless... all of them became meaningful after I met Lixi, they all became things that make me happy... because all of these things make me feel that doing them will make Lixi a little happier, so I'll be happy too..."

Crystalline tears streamed down the girl's cheeks as Lixi placed the water glass on the bedside table.

She couldn't help but cry.

“I don’t like Xiao Xiang, and I also think Xiao Deng is a pain… she can’t even sing, but in order to make Li Xi feel happy in the band, I… helped Xiao Deng do those things.”

The girl eavesdropping at the door felt something inside her shatter.

Xiaoyue didn't actually want to be friends with her... she only went because of... Lixi...

So what am I...?

I don't want to hurt any of my friends, but... it's all because of me...

Akari saw Suze and Mutsuki appear at the end of the corridor. She wiped away her tears and tried her best to tell them about Yuzuki's condition...

In the room separated by a door, Yuzuki continued to pour out her already shattered heart.

"It's all because of you... Lixi, because I like you, I want to make you happy... that's why I did all this."

She gently licked the corner of her mouth, as if savoring the sweet taste from earlier.

"Why, why do I have to like someone else?! Do you know that the only time in my life I've truly felt happiness is when I'm wholeheartedly in love with you?! Before I fell in love with you, my life was like a coffin, devoid of any hope, but..."

Jieyue grabbed Lixi's collar and began to retch painfully.

"But...after I fell in love with you, the whole world became so wonderful, so happy, so lovely..."

"As long as I love you, I don't care about any of this. I've found my happiness... Please, please let me drown in happiness... Even if I drown to death..."

I found my happiness, but it was only for a moment.

Li Xi's silence was already not enough in Jie Yue's eyes.

Foot hanging teeth.

After sobbing for a while, Yuzuki was exhausted and wanted to rest. She pushed Ritsuki towards the door...

No, she pushed the light outside the door, where Su Shi was talking to someone.

"I wish you happiness."

I wish you can also find your own happiness.

Jieyue lay back on the bed calmly, feeling both unprecedentedly relaxed and unprecedentedly painful.

After the last trace of color disappeared, she pulled the blanket over herself.

Is this a hospital ward or a coffin?

She doesn't know.

But... I'm so tired, I want to rest.

I want to sleep, I want to sleep forever...

Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, Mu forced his way in. A vibrant blue appeared in Yuzuki's world.

"Yatsuki..."

She sat down next to the girl she liked, took her hand, and noticed that her body temperature was lower than usual. So she pulled back the blanket and crawled inside, hugging the pink-haired girl tightly.

"I'm sorry... I'm late."

She heard crying.

The two weren't wearing pajamas, so it was a bit uncomfortable to rest like that while cuddling. But Yuzuki was very tired, so Mutsuki didn't mind.

Mu didn't know what Lixi had just said, but... she felt that Jieyue needed company right now.

After gently massaging Jieyue's head in her arms, mimicking Su Shi's movements, she felt pink strands of hair lightly brush against her stomach.

"Xiao Mu...?"

Settled, Yuzuki drifted off to sleep in her beloved embrace. Ignoring the discussion outside, Mutsu held her head, repeatedly massaging different acupoints to make Yuzuki more comfortable.

About an hour passed, and Mutsuki's arms became sore and numb that she could no longer continue massaging. Only then did Kizuki open her somewhat hazy blue eyes…

"Xiao Mu... what time is it...?"

"3:12".

Noticing the blue-haired girl's arms hanging unnaturally at her sides, he realized something after recalling the comfortable massage he had just received.

Yuzuki quickly pulled Mu into her arms and massaged her arm, trying to ease her pain.

"I'm sorry... Xiaomu, I slept for so long. I'm so sorry..."

Why apologize? Mu couldn't understand, but she still stretched out her aching arm and used her fingers to stop Jieyue's mouth from constantly apologizing.

"This is not Yuzuki's fault."

The soft, gentle voice reached the depths of her heart.

"This is my choice. It has nothing to do with Yuzuki... You are not allowed to admit your mistake...!"

Her adorable yet firm attitude made Yuzuki unable to help but reveal a beautiful smile.

"Okay! Thank you, Xiaomu..."

Mutsu liked this scene, and the two embraced for a long time. So long that the people outside the door didn't hear any discordant arguments, so long that Su Shi opened a crack in the door, saw the two embracing, and then left with them, relieved.

After a while, a hospital caregiver brought a single-serving dinner.

It was a boxed lunch, and it looked... very cheap.

Somewhat displeased, Yuzuki picked out a few pieces of beef from the vegetables and fed them to the girl next to her.

As for these vegetables, Yuzuki didn't even want to touch them. They were nothing like the vegetables she made herself…

If she weren't worried that Xiao Mu was hungry, she wouldn't even bother to rummage for a piece of meat to fill her stomach.

"I'm sorry... Xiaomu, don't eat this. When we get home later, I'll make something delicious for Xiaomu, okay?"

"No... Yuzuki is very tired and needs to rest."

……

Lixi returned to her home like a zombie, locked her bedroom door, and hid under her blankets.

Why? Why did all this happen?! Why didn't you talk to Yuzuki properly back then? Why didn't you tell Yuzuki that you liked her too?!

Why, why, why?! I...I messed all of this up...

Yuzuki, Yuzuki got hurt because of me, and Akari, Akari clearly said she believed in her... that's why she was allowed to take care of Yuzuki, but... but why did it turn out like this?

She slapped herself hard across the face, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

So, this is how Yuzuki started to drift away from me. Isn't this what I've always wanted to see?

No, what is the purpose of doing these things?

Why, why do I want to die so much right now?

Why, Yuzuki, do you really like me?
