Finally, I became their white moonlight

【Playback begins.】

After he gave up expressing his opinion, the system announced calmly, and the camera on the screen immediately moved forward, presenting a scene with a cinematic feel.

…but the city shrouded in heavy rain, with gloomy scenery filled with gray tones, doesn’t look like a movie that can make people laugh.

Ming Hai took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and looked at the camera seriously as it passed through the rain, through the crowd, through the door of the apartment, and quickly rose up.

Until the person he was familiar with appeared in front of him again.

-

"Yeah, I'm fine now. I just need some time to be alone and quiet."

"Mom, you should go to work soon. Today's meeting is important, right?"

"Don't worry about me, I... can take care of myself."

Pushing her mother, who looked worried and kept looking back, out of the door, Nagasaki Suyo closed the door with a smile and listened to the sound of the electronic lock ringing automatically.

Then she returned to her room and glanced at the calendar above her head.

——September 1st.

Almost all schools in Japan started today, but she took a day off on such an important school day.

The summer heat of late August was soaked by the heavy rain, and the coolness of autumn was accompanied by endless wind and rain, pouring down under the gray sky that had lingered for a long time.

…It seemed as if the whole city was crying for his departure.

Nagasaki Suyo sat down in front of the dressing table, turned on a dim light, and looked at herself in the mirror with a calm smile.

"…No wonder mom is worried."

The long hair had not been taken care of for a long time, and was messy and withered; there were bright red tear marks at the corners of the eyes, and under the bloodshot eyeballs were dark circles of fatigue and discouragement; the lips were bloodless and the skin was so chapped and cracked as if he had not had any water for several days.

She looks like a crazy woman who has been imprisoned in a dungeon for several days. Maybe her corpse would look better than she does now?

Nagasaki Suyo smiled nonchalantly, but the candle-like light could not illuminate her bottomless dark eyes, which had neither light nor any smile in them.

She just mechanically picked up the cosmetics on the table like a doll and slowly put on makeup for herself.

Half an hour later.

The girl pursed her lips to let the lipstick evenly moisturize her cracked lips. After confirming that her pale face and dark circles were covered by makeup that was heavier than usual, she finally picked up her phone with relief.

The cold light from the screen reflected the photo of the boy in her eyes.

Gazing at Minghai on the wallpaper of her mobile phone, Nagasaki Suyo's smile gradually became gentle, as if she had finally found her lost soul. Her expression glowed brightly again, and her voice was no longer hoarse and low, but had a bit more of a soft and illusory joy.

"Now that I have the nerve to come and see you, Ming Hai."

She kissed the screen gently. She didn't cry, nor was she in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She just closed her eyes with nostalgia and attachment, as if she was recalling a lover who had gone far away.

I don’t know how much time had passed before Nagasaki Motoyo put away her phone, got up and went to the closet to change her clothes.

A plain dress with a silver necklace, a beige windbreaker that covers the slightly astringent collarbone and shoulders, looks good without putting too much pressure on the man.

It was the same outfit I wore on my first "date" with him.

——Does he still keep the tie clip I gave him?

Nagasaki Suyo put the rice ear-like beaded pendant into her pocket and thought casually. When she was about to leave the room, she found that there were spots of blood under her feet.

"This is……"

She raised her finger, not knowing when it was cut. A small cut appeared on her fingertip. Bright red blood flowed out from under the rolled flesh, quietly staining half of her palm red.

She didn't feel any pain, or rather, since that day on, she could no longer feel any pain or taste any food.

This made Nagasaki Suyo even more convinced that she had actually fallen into a nightmare that was too real to wake up from, and that everything and every experience was just a false illusion.

As long as she wakes up, everything will be back to the way she wants.

They will welcome the first day of school without any problems, and I will wait for him downstairs of the apartment building and say to him with a smile:

"Good morning, Narumi!"

The two would walk to school together, chat on the train about the summer music festival that ended perfectly, about Shoko and Harmony, and finally say goodbye to each other in front of Tsuki no Mori Academy.

At night, he would ask her to come over because he was too lazy to cook, so she had no choice but to cook dinner for him. In exchange, he would teach her the techniques of bass. She also had to deal with Xiangzi's supervision from time to time. She would go home and fall asleep soundly at ten o'clock, looking forward to seeing him again every day in the future.

——Only by waking up from this nightmare can her time move on.

Ignoring the spreading blood, Nagasaki Suyo walked to the bathroom with an indifferent expression, washed her hands, found a random Band-Aid to put on the wound to prevent the blood from staining her clothes, and then left home and took the elevator downstairs.

Standing in front of the doorplate with the word "Suga" still hanging on it, Nagasaki Suyo nervously straightened her appearance and checked whether there was anything inappropriate about herself.

After confirming that everything was OK, she pressed the doorbell, put her hands in front of her, and took a deep breath like an innocent girl about to go on a date with her boyfriend.

"Ming Hai, are you awake~"

Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head slightly, facing the dark cat's eye with a bright and gentle smile, and shouted into the house: "If you don't answer, I will come in directly, okay?"

"..."

Of course, the only answer she got was silence.

The corridor outside the elevator was filled with silence, like a deep ocean trying to swallow her up.

Nagasaki Suyo's expression did not change. She just stood in front of the door and waited for a moment, then she directly pressed the password of the electronic lock and pushed the door open with ease.

"Really? Why are you sleeping in all of a sudden? Don't you get up at five in the morning to exercise every day?"

While talking to herself, she turned on the air conditioner in the room to let out the stuffy air that had been accumulating for several days.

The lights came on and the cold darkness melted in the corners.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was about to go to the kitchen, suddenly stopped and looked at the house that had been cleaned up long ago and without any trace of life left. She couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"Why……"

If his computer hadn't still been on the table, if his scent hadn't still lingered, she might have suspected that she had gone to the wrong floor and arrived at an empty house that no one had ever lived in.

——Has Xiangzi come to clean up?

After hesitating for a while, she finally did not take out her cell phone to call for confirmation. Instead, she shook her head, put on a smile again, and continued chatting with the air.

"Don't want to go to school? Ah~ I understand your feeling, because I was the same today, pretending to be sick to trick my mom."

I opened the refrigerator and there was no food in it.

Nagasaki Suyo was not discouraged. Instead, she put on her apron, picked up a rag and gloves, and began to clean up the dust that had accumulated over the past few days.

Like a diligent little bee, she moved around the empty house with light steps, patiently and carefully cleaning the dirt that was invisible to the naked eye, trying to make every corner of this home sparkle.

During this time, her voice never stopped. She was still chatting leisurely with the non-existent person, with a happy and cheerful smile on her face.

"In that case, how about we skip class together today? Don't tell the teacher, and don't tell Xiangzi-chan, and go somewhere to play together?"

"It's not bad to be a bad boy sometimes, Narumi, you told me so, right? You said that it's good for your physical and mental health... Now that I think about it, it does make sense."

"Hey~ Don't you want to go out in the rain?"

"Okay, then we'll do something at home today... Don't worry, we'll only do things that we can tell Xiangzi-chan about."

Finally, Nagasaki Suyo stood in front of his door.

She turned the doorknob gently; the door was not locked; she walked in carefully and turned on the light.

"I'm coming in? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've come into your room."

"Before, you always said, 'This is a secret space for boys,' and wouldn't let me come in to clean it..."

"Is there a pornographic book hidden in there?"

Nagasaki Motoyo said with a smile, but her fingers were trembling slightly and her breathing became choked and unstable.

——This room is full of traces of his existence.

Whether it was the arrangement of the bookshelves, the arrangement of the trinkets on the desk, or the carefully made flat bed... it was as if I could see him sitting beside the bed, watching me with helpless eyes as I broke into his room.

I seemed to be able to see the relieved smile on his face before he pushed me away that day.

'That's it, as long as you are happy.'

"...How can you be happy, you idiot?"

Leaning against the door frame weakly, Nagasaki Suyo tightly grasped the clothes on her chest, lowered her head and bit her lips, enduring the whimper coming out of her throat.

——She had shed all her tears and no longer had the energy to vent her emotions by crying.

He could only allow the tearing emotions that were awakened once again to mess up his lungs and make him feel like retching.

"Even so, is there no way to wake up from this nightmare?"

After a while.

She suddenly laughed softly, and then her laughter became louder and louder, and more and more relaxed.

“Ha, haha, hahahaha… As expected, Ming Hai, this is what you wanted to tell me, right?! I knew it, I knew it… Only in this way can I leave here and return to the real world where you exist!”

The hollow and hazy pupils and bloodshot eyeballs stared straight ahead.

As if she had finally found the exit of the maze, she laughed out loud with joy in the empty room, not caring how crazy and confused she looked now. She just enjoyed the sense of relief and liberation from the bottom of her heart.

As the laughter slowly died down, Nagasaki Suyo stopped talking to herself and hummed a song as she stepped into Ming Hai's room and began to explore happily.

"There's no pornographic book under the bed, but if it was Ming Hai, he would have bought the electronic version directly and not left any handle for others."

"This doll...was it given by Deng-chan? There is also a turtle pendant, which should have been bought when they went to the aquarium..."

"Ah, it's the tie clip I gave you!"

She picked up a box with surprise, and after making sure that the tie clip inside was still intact and not even stained with dust, she carefully put it into her pocket.

After checking every corner, Nagasaki Suyo finally came to his bed, thought for a moment, and suddenly turned over the mattress under his pillow, and found a small box that was somewhat different from the tie clip box.

"I remember Ming Hai once told me that if you want to hide something, it's best to hide it in a place you come into contact with every day..."

She nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "So, this is the treasure that Ming Hai left for me?"

When I opened the box, there were only two things inside.

A headband and a flash drive.

Volume 165: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Suyo. Part

Nagasaki Suyo first picked up the hairband and rubbed it carefully with her fingertips.

They are made of the same material as the headbands that Ming Hai gave to Xiangzi, but the patterns on them are different.

She remembered Xiangzi saying that the pattern on her amber headbands was a flower called "Glimmer Flower".

The language of flowers is... gentle and unique love.

What about this one?

Nagasaki Motoyo took out her mobile phone, took a photo, searched using the image recognition function, and quickly found the corresponding flowers.

——Forget-me-not.

"..."

The moment she saw the flower name, Nagasaki Suyo was struck by lightning, and her trembling hands almost made her unable to hold the phone.

The tide of sadness and longing once again filled the air, and the feeling of suffocation made her unable to breathe for a while, and she even felt dizzy for a short time.

Without the strength to stand, Nagasaki Suyo just let herself lie down on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

It was not until his scent, which seemed to have lingered on for a long time, surrounded her and penetrated into her nose like a soothing incense that she gradually came back to her senses from the shock of being hit hard. Then she finally realized something, and the corners of her mouth gradually pulled into an absurd smile of disbelief, yet sudden enlightenment.

"It turns out...it turns out..."

"Did you know you would die?"

Everything is connected.

Whether it was Ming Hai's strange words and actions on the day of the music festival, or the gentle tone that sounded like a last will and testament when he sent them to the stage; or this house that was cleaned up as if someone had moved into a new house, with only these items left behind.

The moment she saw the headband, Nagasaki Suyo had figured everything out.

——He knew he would die on the day of the music festival, so he made so many puzzling preparations.

He also cleaned the house himself. After all, she didn't see any traces left by Xiangzi, and the stuffy air when she first entered the room also reminded her of this.

Maybe Xiangzi hasn't realized it yet?
