Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

But now, the intentions have been revealed too soon...

After calming down and reflecting on her actions, Su Shi realized that she had been overwhelmed by the joy of seeing her brother and achieving great success in the Sea of Consciousness, and had become too complacent.

Next, a severe beating is probably in order...

However, the expected outcome did not occur.

Inside the quiet room, there stood Masayuki Senmō, laughing heartily.

The laughter didn't sound fake; it came from genuine, heartfelt joy.

"Good! Good! You're finally starting to look like your brother!"

Senmyoji strode out of the quiet room, looking down at Sushi lying on the ground. His eyes held no anger, but rather a...

A nostalgic recollection?

"Do you know your brother? The first day we picked him up from the hospital, he dared to act like a jerk on my head, hahaha!"

What he accomplished in a day, you took nine years to do.

As he finished speaking, Masayuki's laughter subsided, his tone becoming complex.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time, but remember this: don't forget who you are just because you were lucky enough to survive in the Sea of Consciousness once!"

You are far inferior to your brother!

When he attacked me back then, I really ended up in a very embarrassing situation.

keep it up.

As a being who has uttered tales, one has only lived once beyond the sea of consciousness; this is far from sufficient.

After hearing what Masayuki Senmyo had to say, Su Shi was stunned.

She didn't expect...

Is my brother really that brave?

Moreover, back then, my brother had just been discharged from the hospital and his body hadn't even fully recovered, yet he was already this amazing?

My brother is truly a great brother!

Actually, when she was a child, Su Shi didn't even know she had an older brother.

I only found out later when I heard my fellow clansmen talking about it.

Her brother seems to suffer from some strange illness and has been unable to leave his wheelchair since birth.

Some say it's a congenital deficiency, others say it's a curse.

Some even called it a terrifying "echo erosion syndrome," saying that one would die soon...

Therefore, my brother stayed in the hospital and never went home.

The first time she saw her brother in person was on the day he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Everyone says it's a miracle.

When her brother was brought back, he was wearing the same fox mask she is wearing now.

She was a little shy at first, but her brother was very natural and quickly became close to her.

Are you my sister?

"That's great!"

"I've always wanted a little sister."

"From now on, I'll protect you!"

Thinking of her brother, Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little tearful.

Waaaaah, brother, you died so tragically...

Waaaaah, brother, you said you'd protect me, and you really kept your promise even after you died...

From reality all the way to the sea of consciousness...

Ahhhhh!

I can't take it anymore. Why do I already miss them so much after we just broke up?

I want to go back to the sea of consciousness so badly right now!

Go back to your brother's side!

……

"Brother, you smell like another woman."

Saki returned from the sea of consciousness with a full load, in high spirits, and was about to share his joy with his sister.

He happily pushed open the bedroom door and came out, but the next second, his sister suddenly pushed her wheelchair closer.

With its little nose twitching, it slowly circled around him like an alert little animal.

Then, the girl looked up at Saki without blinking and said the words above.

"?!"

Qi Ji was taken aback by these words.

Thinking back to how I had spent two hours in the sea of consciousness, and how I had spent almost half an hour just holding Su Shi in my arms…

Now that my sister said that, I actually feel a little guilty.

After all, he had just said not long ago that Xiao Xi was his only sister!

But he quickly realized—

He recognized his second younger sister in the sea of consciousness. What does that have to do with him in reality?

It's like those "online couples" or "online families"—they don't count at all.

Moreover, the idea that one would leave behind a scent of remembrance is utter nonsense.

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt justified.

Immediately, he squatted down and flicked his sister's forehead with a smile:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

My brother has been inseparable from Xiaoxi all day. Even if there's a smell, it's only Xiaoxi's smell.

"I don't believe you! Let me smell it, brother!"

Qi Jixing was upright and sitting properly, so he was naturally not afraid and approached her in a very open and generous manner.

"Brother, closer, closer!"

"Okay, okay, I just can't do anything with you."

Just as Qi Jiyi moved closer, her younger sister suddenly braced herself with her two small hands on the wheelchair armrests and leaned her upper body forward with all her might.

Then, the girl's soft lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water, pressed a kiss onto Qi Ji's mask.

After making this bold move, the girl seemed extremely shy and ran away right after the kiss!

Pushing the wheelchair with both hands, the wheels threatening to send sparks flying, she fled back into her room as if escaping.

The door slammed shut.

Saki stood there, stunned, not even fully reacting.

The door to her sister's room was closed and then opened again.

The girl's rosy cheeks peeked out from under the door:

"Brother, I've already stamped my mark on your face—"

The validity period is... 1878 years! My brother is mine, and no one can take him away!

Saki touched the spot where the girl's lips had just touched him, feeling both surprised and amused.

He quite liked his sister's occasional lively side, so he smiled and said:

"Don't worry, no one will steal your brother."

Do you really think your brother is some kind of hot commodity?

The younger sister, who had already pulled her head back behind the door, couldn't help but peek out again upon hearing this. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her expression was unusually serious.

"Brother, you're much more sought after than you think!"

You must be careful when you're out!

Take care of yourself!

You absolutely must not...

He was tricked by a bad woman without any clear explanation!

Chapter 91 If This Were the Day Before I Died (4.7K)

With the academy competition approaching, Echo Academy has finally ushered in a well-deserved holiday.

This holiday came earlier than usual.

It is said that the Echo Association of the City of Fire encountered a bottleneck in a key research project, and many teachers with relevant expertise were temporarily transferred to assist.

Therefore, the holiday has been brought forward!

At this moment, in the classrooms and corridors, students gathered in twos and threes, excitedly discussing where they would go for the holidays.

Only Saki lay on her desk, yawning listlessly, looking rather dispirited.

The main problem is that he has been experiencing severe "sea of consciousness withdrawal symptoms" in the past few days.

It's not that he didn't want to log into the Sea of Consciousness these past few days, but rather that he couldn't log in.

Each time an echoer returns from the sea of consciousness, its spirit retains a "frequency imprint" belonging to that sea.

These marks take about a week to fade naturally.

Before the imprint completely dissipates, the sea of consciousness will recognize it as "already logged in" and refuse the spirit's access again.

No matter how strong or good your spirit is, as long as the mark remains, that door will never open for you.

Of course, this is irrelevant to most echoers.

Because each time they enter the sea of consciousness, their spirits inevitably suffer trauma of varying degrees, requiring a week or even several weeks to recover.

This caused Sakiji a lot of trouble.

He went to the Sea of Consciousness purely to buy goods.

Zero damage! Pure profit!

But now you're telling him that he can only order goods once a week?

What's the difference between this and banning his account?

Qi Ji felt that the past few days had been exceptionally difficult, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Of course, the same torment applies to those who appeal to the world.

She understands Saki's feelings so well!

She felt terrible because she couldn't enter the sea of consciousness!

It feels like ants are crawling all over me!

She has contracted a disease that makes her feel like she will die if she doesn't see her guardian spirit brother for a day.
