Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

Several crumpled pieces of paper, wet with tears, were added to the wastepaper basket.

Su Shi sat leaning against the headboard, unable to fall asleep even though she had to exit the video halfway through because she didn't dare to look down.

"It's okay. You've already cried once before, so you won't cry next time you play with Chizuru, and you'll have the energy to comfort her."

Su Shi clutched her chest, trying to comfort herself, but soon regretted it.

"Why stay up all night to watch this game's storyline?!"

"Little elephant, my little elephant..."

Recalling the tragic state of an NPC character in the game, Su Shi felt apprehensive about playing that part of the story later on.

"Maybe next time we should try to convince China to play some different games."

"No! Chika seems to really enjoy playing games. Even if I don't play this game with her, she'll definitely find someone else to play it with, like Aine..."

"Even though Chinatani has a similar family background to me, it's not right for someone else to accompany Chinatani on a trip together!"

"Let's at least play through the game once with China first..."

In the midst of intense thought, Su Shi suddenly remembered something else.

China said she has a bad sleeping posture.

Does that mean she might have rolled over and made room on the bed?

With this thought in mind, Su Shi got out of bed and quietly walked towards Chi Nai's room.

The corridor light dimly illuminated China's figure; she was fast asleep.

It didn't kick the blanket off itself, so it didn't need anyone to help it be covered up again.

However, she did turn over and lay on her side on the inside of the bed, leaving enough space on the outside for someone else to sleep.

But why insist on sleeping together...?

Now that China is taking medication, she won't suddenly get restless or have insomnia in the middle of the night, so she doesn't need me to take care of her, right?

Moreover, Su Shi gradually became sleepy.

I think it's more comfortable and easier to sleep alone in a big bed.

Although I don't really want to admit it, it feels so tiring to take care of another person who has insomnia when I'm so sleepy... but I'm actually quite willing to do it.

Was that what China meant when she politely declined to sleep in the same bed? She's so thoughtful, such a kind child.

With that thought in mind, Su Shi returned to her bed in the guest room, and after casting aside all her complicated thoughts, slowly drifted off to sleep.

A bizarre and fantastical morning gradually unfolded in her dream.

……

"As long as I keep Chika tied up, I can take care of everything~"

Su Shi spoke lightly, pushing the obedient and compliant Qian Nai, who was strapped to a wheelchair, and steadily placing her on the automatic track beside the stairwell, so that the two tires of the wheelchair fit perfectly with the track.

She then hurried downstairs, took a loaf of toast from the toaster, spread some salad on it, and placed it on China's plate.

Soon, the track brought China to his side. Su Shi patted China's head and scratched her chin, and she responded happily with a "woof".

"When we get to school, don't use dog-related phrases in your speech, okay?" Su Shi instructed Qian Nai.

"Got it, woof~" China replied playfully.

Then, Su Shi used a knife and fork to cut off a slice of toast salad and fed it to China.

It seemed the salad was too sour, because China immediately spat out the toast, then bared her teeth and whimpered like a little wild wolf.

"No, Chizuru."

Su Shi waved her index finger.

"Baby, you are a very good little dog, you can't be so fierce."

Then, Su Shi opened the refrigerator, which was filled with bottles and jars of medicine and syringes.

After taking a vial of tranquilizer, Su Shi slowly walked toward China, who was struggling in her wheelchair and even trying to bite open the ropes with her teeth.

"It'll be over soon, honey."

Su Shi pressed China's head to one side with one hand, and injected the needle into the vein in her neck. The other person immediately calmed down and stared blankly.

"Alright," Su Shi said, clapping her hands together. "Now, we can eat properly."

She fed the toast to China again. This time, the latter no longer resisted and silently chewed the toast, but apart from her mouth moving, she seemed to be completely unresponsive.

"Okay, you can go to school now."

After pushing Chinatsu out the door, Sose sat on Chinatsu's lap, tied herself to Chinatsu with the extra three meters of rope, and then pressed the "driving mode" button on the wheelchair.

Instantly, the wheelchair sped towards Hanegaoka Girls' Academy at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Haneoka, Suze greeted Akari and Aine, who had arrived at the same time, and told them not to forget the afternoon rehearsal. Then she pressed the brake, pushed off with her legs, and flew into the classroom using inertia and a bounce.

"Xiaoxiang~"

Su Shi greeted Xiang Zimi with a smile, while simultaneously freeing herself from the wheelchair.

"What did you do to China?!"

"Xiao Xiang, just promise me..."

Su Shi originally intended to promise to let China return to normal if she agreed to return to Crychic.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiangzi stood up from his seat, leaped up, and threw a powerful punch at Su Shi!

Then, Su Shi was blasted out of the classroom, out of the school, and back into Qian Nai's guest room!

……

"what!"

Su Shi woke up from her dream with a start, feeling a heaviness in her head.

"What are all these things...?"

Su Shi recalled the blurry fragments of her dream, only feeling a strong possessive desire for China, but this desire had to be realized by restricting China.

At the same time, she also had the idea of ​​using Chika to bring Shoko back.

These thoughts in the dream only made Su Shi feel a pang of regret and guilt.

There are still 15 minutes until the alarm goes off.

Another new day.

Although she was a little sleep-deprived, Su Shi didn't dwell on whether or not to take a nap. Instead, she made breakfast for Chi Nai.

I took two loaves of toast from the groceries I bought at the supermarket yesterday and toasted them in the bread machine.

There was salad dressing too, but Su Shi didn't apply it; instead, she used jam.

Then I fried two eggs, heated two cups of milk, and placed them on the hot placemats on the table.

A simple breakfast, but nutritionally complete.

At the same time, the alarm clock rang, and Su Shi planned to wake up China.

The dream I had not long ago made Su Shi feel a little guilty before opening the door, but a dream is still a dream, and its contents are always abstract.

However, when the door was opened, China was still fast asleep.

Didn't you set an alarm? If you keep sleeping like this, you'll be late, won't you?

But as a patient, the school won't say anything if I'm a little late, right?

Su Shi wanted Chi Nai to sleep a little longer, so she didn't wake her up.

I guess I'll have to eat breakfast alone for now...

She was about to leave when she glanced at China again.

"..."

Out of some inexplicable thought, she gently took off her slippers, lay on her side on the edge of the bed, and put her arm under her head.

Her gaze fell on China's back, feeling a subtle feeling that was hard to describe. About half a minute later, she slowly got up.

Then, I picked up the phone that China had left on the computer desk yesterday and turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

Next, I sent a message to China's chat page saying that I had made breakfast for her.

Because the volume was turned off, there was no message notification ringtone to wake Chizuru up.

After placing China's phone on the bedside table, Su Shicai left the bedroom.

Chapter 65 Good Morning

The alarm clock shattered the morning's tranquility; at least for China, the surroundings had been peaceful until she woke up.

On the one hand, the person who had come to her room twice during her sleep was very careful and did not make much noise.

On the other hand, the drug's sedative effect was probably too good, otherwise she would have woken up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, scrolling through the comments on her personal account, and repeatedly admiring the character sketches drawn for her by the artist.

The effect might have been a little too good; even after falling asleep early, China still felt a bit sleepy when she woke up.

However, a comment made her lazy gaze lift slightly as she looked at it.

Good morning, Chizuru~ I hesitated for a moment when I woke up this morning, wondering whether I should wake you up or not, because the medicine you took yesterday seemed to have made you sleep very soundly, and I felt that waking you up directly like this might make you uncomfortable.

I guess you didn't set an alarm because you wanted to sleep in, so I didn't wake you. If you forgot to set an alarm, please forgive me for not waking you. Breakfast is ready and on the hot plate to keep it warm, remember to eat it!

Also, if you're going to school, could you please ask Chizuru to say hello to Sho for me? It's okay if you don't, anyway, I hope you get well soon!

Upon seeing this message, China's lips curled up slightly, forming a warm smile.

It's not that she didn't set an alarm; as I just mentioned, she woke up to the sound of the alarm, but since taking a taxi to school was faster, she could set the alarm a little later.

But Su Shi's message still warmed China's heart and gave her the energy to move.

“It will be alright, thank you Su Shi~” she replied.

"China is awake. Is she feeling unwell?"

Just as China turned off her phone and was about to get up, the screen lit up again, displaying a new message.

Replying instantly...

"I'm still a bit sleepy. Maybe I should ask the doctor if I should reduce my medication."

"Oh, okay. Let's postpone our meeting at RiNG this afternoon to discuss the band. I'll go to the hospital with Chizuru."

Hmm... Although I appreciate Su Shi's concern, going to the hospital together seems like too much trouble for her, so I shouldn't add the second half of the sentence.

"I'm still more looking forward to going to RiNG this afternoon, since it was a bit of a pity I couldn't come last time. Feeling sleepy after taking this medicine is quite common. If I feel better afterward, I'll go again in a couple of days. I don't really like the time spent registering and waiting at the hospital."

"I think it's better to communicate more with the doctor, but ultimately it's up to Chizuru to make the decision herself."

When Su Shi replied, she seemed to notice some flaws in Qian Nai's words.

Perhaps she didn't understand, but she thought psychiatrists should be able to be booked in advance, and she could go directly to the hospital without waiting, unlike some illnesses like colds or fevers where consultation times are short, there are long queues, and it's inconvenient to book an appointment.

Is China making up an excuse because she doesn't want me to go to the hospital with her? Is it because she doesn't want to trouble me too much? It's okay, I'm just accompanying her for a while.

However, Su Shi respected Chi Nai's wishes and did not continue to emphasize going to the hospital. Moreover, she was quite looking forward to the scene when all five of them arrived.

With both Riki and Chika having solid music theory skills, their conversations are unlikely to stray off-topic. Chika, with her somewhat whimsical ideas, will surely come up with some interesting solutions for the band.

Speaking of which, the reason I asked China to give Riki some pointers yesterday was because I still harbored resentment towards China at that time.

She thought that when China gave Lixi her opinion, her tone might become harsh due to frustration, and Lixi would definitely retort in return.

As their conflict gradually escalates, one day, China will leave the group, making room for Shoko.

Oh, how could I have thought such a bad thing back then!

But we can't say, "China, stop instructing Riki and let her compose in private," because that would definitely spoil China's mood.

I can only keep an eye on things when they're talking about music, and intervene when they start arguing because they can't accept each other's views.

Speaking of which, Aine should have stopped it in that situation too.

Sigh, if only there had been one more person to help me resolve the conflicts within the band back then, instead of one person grabbing another's sleeve and yelling, and the other saying they weren't happy playing in the band.

Right now, they don't want Chika to leave the band, and naturally they can't let her friend Aine leave the band either. But hoping to bring Shoko and Mutsu back is just wishful thinking.

A seven-member band with two keyboards and three guitars... the ticket money split among everyone is quite meager.
