Can Lixi look at me alone?

"So, all I have left is Hailing."

Jieyue put her phone away and smiled at her.

"You have to have a lot of fun with me, I want to experience all of these things."

The map she'd put in her pocket yesterday came in handy; she pointed out each place she wanted to visit. Liu Hailing nodded repeatedly as she planned the route.

Hailing, who was pondering over the map, wanted to ask her what her particular preferences were, since playing through the whole thing would require a lot of physical stamina.

But when I turned my head, I saw a pink-haired girl resting against the car window.

Did this guy not sleep all night because he was going out to play?

That would be bad for some of the more thrilling activities...

Hailing, who removed roller coasters and haunted houses, came up with a pretty good route.

Yes, if Yuzuki hadn't rested her head on her shoulder, she could have summarized it much faster.

After the taxi stopped, he paid the fare for Jieyue and then slapped her awake twice.

"We've arrived at our stop. If we sleep any longer, we'll miss our stop."

"Wake up, dear passenger..."

"A monthly holiday? A monthly holiday? We can't play for a whole day like that!"

Her efforts were rewarded.

"Let me...sleep a little longer..."

Still clinging to her and unwilling to let go, Hai Ling reluctantly found a seat nearby and sat down. She felt the place was big enough for Jie Yue to lie down and then place her on her lap.

Hai Ling, whose body was starting to feel numb on one side, could only subtly change her position to endure it after realizing that Jie Yue showed no signs of waking up.

This is so troublesome...

Yesterday we said we'd play all day long, how come...

"Yuzuki...? I can't feel my legs."

Hai Ling's tired smile made Jie Yue, who had just woken up, realize what she had done.

The pink-haired girl, who felt sorry for Hailing and also for the time she had wasted, dragged the staggering Hailing to buy two tickets.

Time is running out, looks like I can only play part of it...

Let's ride the Ferris wheel first, after all, Hailing's feet...

Jieyue gently patted Hailing's arm, bought two ice creams, and then entered the cabin.

"I'm sorry, Hailing. I've already transferred the money I promised you."

Hai Ling patted her thigh, which still felt a bit sore, and gave her employer a reassuring smile.

"I'm so sorry to have taken up so much of your time, Yuzuki."

Jieyue's palms gently massaged her thigh muscles to help her feel better.

I just transferred some extra money to Hailing... I hope this can be considered compensation.

She knew that money couldn't solve all the problems.

However, money can solve many problems.

For example, money... can stabilize a relationship.

"Hailing, the money won't be less."

She let go of her hands, took her phone out of her pocket, and switched to the bank's interface.

“I can pay Hailing a lot of money every hour…”

She ignored the black-haired girl's somewhat unfriendly expression and continued speaking.

"All I need is for Hailing to spend time with me every day. If Hailing feels this money isn't enough, I can..."

Hailing, who had noticed the wound on her palm earlier, interrupted her.

"What's the point of doing this? Yuzuki?"

significance…?

"Money...isn't enough money? I..."

Hai Ling knows what she needs and what she is thinking right now.

"Does Yuzuki think that I'll do anything as long as I get money?"

She calmly educated Jieyue.

"No...that's not it, he was just keeping me company..."

As she grew anxious, Yuzuki wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to begin—besides money, she felt she had nothing.

"If Yuzuki were a boy, this statement probably wouldn't mean that, would it?"

A hand now caressed her pink hair.

"Please don't think I'm only here with Jieyue for the money, or I'll be sad."

With his other hand, he pulled her hand, which had some scars, and carefully examined her scars after forcefully prying open Jieyue's fingers.

What does this mean to you?

Jieyue took the phone back.

She only understood one meaning.

The person in front of me wants nothing but money; if she doesn't have anything else, she won't stay with me every day.

"Then what do I mean to Yuzuki?"

Hai Ling seems to be...

He seemed angry, but after confirming that her wound hadn't been caused by anyone else, he lowered her arm.

"To Yuzuki, am I just a dispensable playmate who gets paid? Even if my position were changed to someone else, it wouldn't really matter to Yuzuki, right?"

To be honest, Hailing thinks she's angry right now.

If anyone else were to spend a day like this with Yuzuki, and she saw them as someone who could be easily bribed...

Hailing thought they would all be angry.

Yuzuki silently looked out the window. This was the highest point of the Ferris wheel, and the view was absolutely beautiful.

But she had absolutely no interest in appreciating it.

Hai Ling also stared silently at her profile. When the Ferris wheel landed, the two of them walked out of the cabin.

"That's all then, Hailing... goodbye."

Her wrist was grabbed.

"What would you like to eat for lunch, Yuzuki?"

To find out what the moon and sea are like, stay tuned for tomorrow's 10,000~

Meow ~

Give me some votes, meow.

Love you all, meow

Volume 1 Crychic! !!! !!! Chapter 84 Shall we go home?

"What would you like to eat for lunch, Yuzuki?"

Hai Ling gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from breaking free, and forcefully pulled her towards the restaurant.

Luckily it's a weekday, otherwise there would probably be a lot more people here.

After pulling Yuki to a corner to sit down, Hailing ordered some food for them. Then they waited for the waiter to bring the food... but the reason she came here wasn't actually to eat.

"Order whatever you like for lunch, that's fine... I want to go home."

Jieyue's smile faded, and her somewhat dejected attitude softened Hailing's heart a little.

"What are you going to do when you get back, Yuzuki? You're not going to sleep all afternoon and into the evening, and then hurt yourself because of what I said today, are you?"

Hailing pointed to her palm to make it clear what she was saying.

Sure enough, we immediately saw Yuzuki, who had regained her spirits.

The pink-haired girl hid her hands under the table and glared at her fiercely.

"What does it matter what I do? This is my body, I can do whatever I want... it doesn't matter, right?"

That's ridiculously wrong...

"No, because I've already accepted the payment. So from now on, Yuzuki can only play with me at the amusement park. It's only noon now, isn't it?"

Hai Ling began to enjoy her lunch, while Jie Yue also sucked the noodles into her mouth and chewed.

Anyway, she doesn't have anything else to do, does she?

A person like her can't do anything except hide in a corner and stare blankly, hoping that someone will have mercy on her and keep her company for a while, right?

No, she always had something to do.

Yuzuki remembered the magical tool in her pocket and made an excuse to go into the bathroom.

She took the folding utility knife out of her pocket.

Without any further thought, she pried open the blade and picked up a strand of her long hair. With a forceful cut, she obtained a small tuft of pink hair.

It was smooth and effortless, without the slightest hesitation, so smooth that she couldn't help but do it again.

It's fun.

It was much more fun than riding the Ferris wheel with Hailing.

She licked her lips and slowly placed the blade on her wrist.

No... It's not convenient to clean up here. If I make a mess of the floor, it will cause trouble for others.

It needs to be changed to another part...

After hovering for a moment, the blade pressed against her palm, a spot where no one else would easily notice... after all, besides Mu, no one else would hold her hand.

As long as Xiao Mu doesn't find out... then...?

Hai Ling looked at the blade she had just removed with great interest.

"Is this the one you used before?"

Hai Ling put it back in her pocket, then took Jie Yue's hand and pulled her towards her dining table.

"Why is that? Whenever something unpleasant happens? If I don't go along with what Yuzuki wants, does she run to places like this to hurt herself?"

Hai Ling smiled as she looked at the expression on Jie Yue's face.

"Isn't that right? You hurt yourself with this kind of thing just so I'll feel guilty, so I'll comfort you and go along with your wishes, right?"

She had encountered this tactic before; those young ladies had also used it to fight each other. She felt that Yuzuki was probably similar to them.

Those are mine.

After staring at Hai Ling's pockets for a while, Jie Yue gave up asking for the money.

Why do it this way? If you want one, I'll just buy you a new one... But then I'll still have to buy a new one for myself, won't I?

Unable to understand why Hai Ling was always causing her trouble, Jie Yue made up her mind that next time she would buy something that wouldn't be stolen by others.

"Nothing I did hurt anyone else. Why does Hailing think I'm forcing you?"

Huh? That answer isn't right, is it?

To prevent her from developing self-harm tendencies, Hailing decided to try to persuade her first.

"Then, Yuzuki, tell me. Why not do this in front of me directly? Why do you have to do it secretly, hiding away?"

How could I do that in front of you?
