——The handwriting did not disappear, proving that this way of dying was indeed feasible.

"In that case..."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, the confusion and depression in his eyes gradually became bright again, and inexplicable power once again poured into his empty body.

The tip of the pen in his hand drew a residual image, and he began to delete and revise, constantly improving the ideas that popped up in his mind.

Until the words "Do you confirm to execute" appeared on the notebook, and he circled "Yes", watching the pen and the [Death Plan] disappear on the table together.

"call……"

Heaving a heavy sigh of relief, Ming Hai looked at the system panel in front of him where the countdown had stopped and only a line of prompt remained: "Host, please be prepared to leave this world at any time," and smiled with a hint of helplessness.

"Although the ending hasn't changed...but at least, it's much better than dying unwillingly, right?"

As if he had finally completed some important work, Ming Hai lay down on the ground completely powerless, closed the system panel, completely emptied his tired and heavy head, let his eyes go straight, and stared blankly at the criss-crossing wooden beams above his head.

The halo in his eyes seemed to be blurred into a slender shadow, and a cheerful and gentle voice seemed to ring in his ears, making him unconsciously murmur the girl's name.

"Xiangzi..."

What a pity.

...It's not easy to like someone so much.

-

Toyokawa Shoko went to the bathhouse, took a quick shower, changed into pajamas and returned to the room.

Inside the room, the four members of [CryCHIC] were still awake, sitting on their respective beds, watching her slowly close the door with different expressions.

"Well, everyone..."

Feeling the heavy and solemn atmosphere like that of a court, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but bite her lips, with a hint of embarrassment and guilt on her face.

But she did not hesitate for too long. She quickly took a deep breath and bowed deeply to them.

"I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Without waiting for their reply, she lowered her head and blurted out the explanation she had prepared earlier: "I didn't want my personal affairs to affect the group, so I concealed a lot of things... In fact, I have officially been dating Ming Haijun, and I just dated him in the mountains until I forgot the time."

"I didn't explain it in advance, and I had to trouble Sushi-san to cover for me. In the end, I even made everyone worry so much that they delayed their sleep. These were all mistakes I made out of my own selfishness... I'm really sorry!"

"I know it's shameless to say this, but I'm willing to accept any punishment... I hope I can get your forgiveness!"

The half-dried sky-blue hair fell on her thin shoulders.

There was no sound around her. She tried hard to endure the tormenting silence, tightening her waist, clenching her fists, and maintaining the standard 90-degree bow posture, as if she would not stand up straight before getting their forgiveness.

After more than ten seconds, Su Shi's familiar sigh came from the distance.

"What should we do~ Hey, Deng-chan. How should we punish Shoko-chan for abandoning us and secretly going out with Narumi at night?"

"Eh?" Then Deng said, a little surprised, "I, I don't know... It's normal for a boyfriend and girlfriend to go out on a date... Is it really necessary to punish Xiangzi-chan?"

Su Shi said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "If you think it's unnecessary, why did you show that expression after she left? Do you really have no complaints about Xiangzi-chan? By the way, when she came down the mountain, she was holding hands with Ming Hai, and her face was full of happiness, right?"

"I……"

"Hey, why are you questioning Deng like that? Just tell me what you want to do." Li Xi's voice came over, helping Deng who was in a dilemma and confusion, "Hurry up and come up with a result, otherwise no one will be able to sleep peacefully, right?"

"Ah, Riki-chan, do you want to punish Shoko-chan too?"

"Isn't that natural? She warned us not to go out at night, but she secretly ran out to meet a man and made Deng so worried... We have to teach her a lesson, right?"

"Hmm~ Is it really just like that?"

"Huh? What are you hinting at again..."

Amid the chaotic discussion, a soft and calm voice suddenly sounded in front of Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi."

Lifting her eyes from the ground, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head slightly and met the eyes of her childhood sweetheart.

Those golden eyes, which never changed much, were filled with complex emotions that she couldn't understand.

The thick and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the doll girl whispered:

"Did you... find the answer you were looking for?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, a happy smile bloomed unconsciously on her face, and she said in a firm tone:

"Mu, I found it!"

"From now on... there will be no more letting go, no more lost answers."

"Thank you so much for all this. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to keep searching... I wouldn't have been able to get to this point with Narumi-kun."

Ruo Yemu looked at her silently for a long time, then his lips raised an imperceptible arc, and there seemed to be a fluorescent light flashing in his eyes.

"Yeah, that's great."

Volume 131: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Suyo had a dream

The stars and the moon gradually faded, and the day came in the east.

Half past seven in the morning.

Although she did not sleep for a full eight hours, Nagasaki Suyo woke up reflexively the moment the alarm rang. She raised her hand to turn off the vibrating phone, then slowly got up, covering her dizzy head.

"It's morning..."

The hazy morning light shone through the window, making the floating dust in the air light and quiet, and creating a faint golden halo in the quaint Japanese-style room.

The distant bird calls sound slightly distorted, like noise coming from another world.

She squinted her eyes, trying to wake her head from the sleepiness caused by lack of sleep. At the same time, she glanced around, but found that everyone else was still lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, and no one had opened their eyes with her.

There was a moment of struggle on her face, and Nagasaki Suyo quickly decided to go with the flow.

This is not about sleeping in, but I don’t want to disturb everyone who hasn’t gotten enough sleep, right?

Thinking of this, she lay back on her pillow with peace of mind, enjoying the feeling of basking in the warm morning sun while snuggling in the quilt with the air conditioner on.

But when I really wanted to take a nap, I couldn't really fall asleep again.

Nagasaki Suyo closed her eyes and was in a daze for a while, but she felt her mind becoming more and more clear, and her sleepy body gradually woke up.

It was not until the sleepiness faded, her bladder slightly filled, and her body prepared to get up on its own that she opened her eyes again. She stared at the criss-crossing beams of the ceiling with a somewhat empty look, and a sigh slipped out of her lips unconsciously.

"… We are back to this disgusting reality again."

Nagasaki Suyo had a dream.

Although she could no longer return to that dream, she still tried her best to remember what happened in the dream.

Someone once said that dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams...

And that dream was probably a possibility that extended towards an illusory future, based on the premise that she would never be able to reach it?

——The scene begins on a rainy spring day, with the road covered with rain-soaked cherry blossom fragments.

In the recording studio that CryCHIC often uses, the lights are dim, as if they have lost all their colors.

The expressionless Mu, the depressed and disappointed Li Xi, and Deng who didn't want to face the reality... The expressions of his companions came into view. He couldn't hear clearly who was saying what, but he knew the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Only Xiangzi, with an indifferent face, stood in front of everyone and announced the fact that the band was disbanded.

Why? I don't know.

Xiangzi did not explain, but simply rejected everyone's attempts to keep her, and even sharply blamed Deng, which made her, who was already fragile, completely fall into autism.

then……

In a rage, Nagasaki Suyo slapped Xiangzi hard.

He also announced on his own that he would not forgive her until she apologized and explained the reason for the breakup.

The few of them parted ways unhappily and didn't keep in touch for almost a year, not even once meeting each other by chance on the street.

——Until now, it is still a nightmare that makes people want to wake up quickly; just thinking about it makes me feel tight in my chest, and I pray that such a future will never happen.

But the subsequent plot completely changed the nature of this dream.

Maybe it was to take revenge on Xiangzi?

After that, Nagasaki Suyo snatched away Ming Hai, who had returned to being single for some unknown reason, and started living with him.

Of course, his mother did not leave because of this, but her work became busier than usual, and she had to stay in the company from time to time... Fortunately, his mother also recognized Minghai's existence and regarded him as her future son-in-law. She was very relieved to let them live under the same roof and take care of each other.

But there was one condition, which was that he could not have children before graduating from high school, otherwise he would have to marry into the Nagasaki family - it was very strange, right? Obviously, they were not a big family that needed to be passed on.

After all, it was just a dream, and Nagasaki Suyo was too lazy to care about the logical loopholes. She just happily enjoyed the feeling of having him all to herself from morning to night.

She even slept in Ming Hai's arms every day, but the scenes of what happened during the process were either skipped or blurred, and she was only given a hint of the scene of the two of them being in a mess after waking up the next day...

Damn it! You bully me because I have no experience. I can’t imagine the process of those things, right?

But it’s better this way. Everyone was sleeping next to me, but I had a dream about spring or something... It’s embarrassing to think about it. I might as well go back and think about it slowly to see if I can dream about the same scene again.

all in all.

No matter what the nightmare in the first half was, she had to remember every detail of the beautiful dream in the second half.

Unfortunately, human power is limited. Apart from that period of happy daily time, even if she wanted to remember many things, the scattered fragments would gradually fade away like sand between fingers.

For example, at the end of the dream, she and Ming Hai seemed to have formed a band with several other girls whose faces could not be seen clearly.

I remember the name was...

"No, I can't remember."

Patting his forehead, Nagasaki Suyo sighed with some regret, slowly relaxing the wrinkles between his brows, and his spirit, which was too focused on memories and now slightly painful.

Dreams are just dreams after all, and they cannot predict the future - or maybe my imagination is not enough to make up a subsequent story, so I can't even think of a name for the band?

Although Ming Hai in the dream is still entangled with a bunch of girls, it is really annoying and makes me want to punish him severely...

But after all, the sweet times they spent living together became the clearest part of her memory, and other things were relatively unimportant.

——Well, since we are just in a dream, you can cheat on me for now~

"call……"

Treasure the beautiful dreams in your heart and remember the throbbing in your heart.

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she lingered in the afterglow of happiness, like a child who had just had a good sleep, with an extremely relaxed and innocent smile on her face.

Although when you wake up, you have to face those unpleasant realities...

But just the beautiful dream at this moment is enough to light up your current life.

-

There was no dream, Ming Hai woke up very early.

Although he slept a few hours less than usual, his biological clock still made him wake up on time at five o'clock in the morning and go out for morning exercise at half past five.

I ran around the villa a few times and returned to the room at about six o'clock. After taking a shower and preparing breakfast ingredients, time slowly passed to seven o'clock.

The next room was still quiet.

Considering that the girls went to bed at around 12 o'clock last night, and none of them were part-time workers who could withstand short sleep like him, Ming Hai was very considerate and did not urge them to get up. He just made something to fill his stomach and went back to the room to continue with his own things.

At 7:45, there was finally a slight sound of a door being opened next door.

Ming Hai stopped typing on the keyboard, got up and went out to see a girl with long brown hair, a slim figure, and wearing plain white pajamas walking towards the bathroom.

Hearing his voice, the girl turned around and was visibly stunned when she saw him.

"You...are up."

For some reason, Nagasaki Suyo's face turned slightly red, her voice became soft, her fingers entangled in front of her body, and she looked at him gently with a complex look of shyness and joy.

She looked like a virtuous wife who had been alone in her empty room, finally meeting her long-lost husband...

Narumi tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why she was reacting like that.

Did you fall into a deep sleep?

If Xiangzi's name hadn't been written on the system panel, he would even have suspected that he had walked into the wrong world line after waking up.

For example, the person who was lingering with him on the mountain last night was actually Su Shi, not Xiangzi or something like that...

Shaking those outrageous conjectures out of his head, considering that some things would become more complicated the more he talked about them, Ming Hai simply ignored her reaction and asked directly: "Aren't you planning to do morning exercises? It will be too late if you don't get up now."
