Finally, I became their white moonlight

Ming Hai secretly took care of his funeral affairs without telling anyone, and then...

On that day, they were saved by such coincidence and precision.

He used his life, as if it had been expected, and died without hesitation on the stage under the attention of everyone. Even until his heart stopped beating, he still had a smile of relief on his face.

Countless images flashed through his mind rapidly, and finally, the two sentences that Ming Hai had said to him rang in his ears again.

"I'm not afraid that you will continue to like me. After all, some things, once the results are determined, they will not be changed."

"I'll be waiting for you off the stage."

It was as if the fog that shrouded her consciousness suddenly dissipated, and Nagasaki Suyo finally understood everything.

"This is the relic you left behind, and also the message you left behind."

Pressing the hairband against her chest, the brown-haired girl hugged it tightly, as if she was hugging that person's arm tightly, and murmured in a gentle and affectionate voice:

"'Forget-me-not'... You're trying to tell me that this is the only way to escape from this nightmare, right?"

"You are waiting for me, waiting for me to wake up from this ridiculous stage and come down to find you."

If this were not the case, how could someone know that his or her death is approaching and yet be able to face such a tragic ending with a calm expression?

It was obvious that everything was a script arranged by Ming Hai.

Including death, relics, the pain of their complete collapse that day, and these tortures that are worse than death.

But Nagasaki Suyo didn't blame him, nor did she care that he didn't tell her in advance.

——As long as he didn't really abandon her and leave her world forever.

"Narumi, I love you."

"From the past to the future...whether it's reality or nightmare, I will never forget the feeling of loving you."

Give up your obsession with him? Silently bless him and Xiangzi?

None of this matters now.

After witnessing his death with her own eyes, Nagasaki Motoyo had completely understood that it was impossible for her to continue to be with him as the "most important friend" with a sense of distance.

I want to possess him, I want to be possessed by him; I want his body temperature to stay with me forever, I want to leave a permanent mark on him.

No matter what it takes, no matter what means are used...

This love is brighter than hope, deeper than despair - and it will never be extinguished or suppressed.

"This is all your fault, you know? You messed up my heart and made me live like a zombie... You have to take responsibility for it."

Like a little girl who had finally tasted happiness, Nagasaki Suyo chuckled innocently and sweetly, buried her face in his pillow, and took a deep breath.

The empty and lifeless eyes were filled with intoxicated and trance-like colors.

"So, just wait a little longer."

"I will soon wake up from this nightmare and will meet you off the stage..."

"Very quickly, as fast as you left me."

"...At that time, will you like me?"

Even if reality is hell, it's better than you not being by my side.

-

"Misfortunes are over and good times are coming." Using this idiom to describe her may not be appropriate enough.

But no matter what, Nagasaki Suyo still feels like she has been "reborn".

Break free from the deepest despair and find yourself from the most extreme emotions.

Both the heart and the body were no longer like a puppet without a spring, dominated by weakness and exhaustion.

Even without forcing herself, she can now smile easily and naturally.

She even smelled the scent left by Ming Hai on the bed, and released herself so happily for the first time (this paragraph has been harmonized, please imagine it yourself), leaving behind the lingering traces of the two people's scents blending together.

——Nagasaki Motoyo certainly knew that she was already pretty bad.

That's why she has to find the person who can fix her, and let him fill the remaining emptiness and insufficiency.

"Bed sheet...it doesn't matter, just leave it here. Although Xiangzi-chan might see it."

Even if she saw it, what could she do to me?

Leaving the bed, Nagasaki Suyo glanced at the somewhat messy sheets, but quickly turned her eyes away as if she didn't care and walked straight towards the bathroom.

She picked up the hairband and measured it against the side of her head in front of the mirror. Finally, she decided to tie a high ponytail at the back of her head.

——When she used to cook at Ming Hai’s house, she would tie her hair up like this from time to time to make cooking easier.

Although Ming Hai never said that she was cute like that, from the vague glances he gave her, Nagasaki Suyo could probably guess that his XP should include ponytail and scruff.

"Next time I see him, I really hope he can be more straightforward and praise me for being pretty..."

Shaking her neat and elegant ponytail, Nagasaki Suyo muttered a few complaints and soon returned to the living room.

By the way, the English name of forget-me-not is Myosotis, and the flower language of white forget-me-not is very direct - "Don't forget me".

This headband with small white flowers clearly conveyed what Ming Hai wanted to say.

"Don't forget me, I'll be waiting for you off the stage."

Of course, Nagasaki Suyo also suspected that the box might be specially left by Ming Hai for his girlfriend, not for himself...

After all, he had said "I'll be waiting for you backstage" to all four members of CryCHIC, so it was impossible for him to leave out the most important Xiangzi.

But first of all, Minghai had told himself the location of the hidden box intentionally or unintentionally. Now thinking about it, that should be the foreshadowing that has been laid out for a long time; secondly, there is only one headband, and Xiangzi already has a pair of glitter flower headbands. With Minghai's attentiveness, he should not give her an extra forget-me-not headband.

Finally, and most importantly -

Nagasaki Suyo didn't want to give this thing to Toyokawa Shoko.

No matter what others say, unless Ming Hai personally shows up to define the ownership, everything in this box is his legacy left to him!

She had already made such a firm decision.

"And then there's this USB flash drive..."

It was placed in a box with a headband, without any labels or notes, and looked like just an ordinary small-capacity hard drive.

Rubbing the cold shell of the USB flash drive, Nagasaki Motoyo's expression became a little more serious, and she walked towards the computer that had not been turned on for several days and was covered with dust.

——Perhaps there is something hidden in it that he would rather die than tell them.

Or perhaps this is his true last words.

Just when Nagasaki Suyo turned on the computer and was about to read the hard drive.

But suddenly I heard the doorbell ring outside.

"Ding dong!"

She stood up in surprise, turned her head to look at the door, and vaguely heard someone talking to himself outside.

"I forgot that there's no one inside... No matter how many times I ring the doorbell, no one will answer."

Then, there was the sound of the door being unlocked and someone pushing the door open.

"Eh? How come…"

The heavy bag fell to the ground as the girl screamed in disbelief.

Nagasaki Suyo vaguely guessed something and subconsciously frowned slightly. She put the USB drive into her pocket and let the computer start up on its own.

She walked towards the entrance and soon met the eyes of Toyokawa Shoko, who was standing in front of the door in a daze, looking into the brightly lit room with red eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence, Toyokawa Shoko wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and as if to hide her overly shaken expression, she forced a smile at her.

"So, it's Su Shi-san... I thought he was back."

The girl, who was always cheerful and proud, innocent and gentle, seemed to have matured by a dozen years in these few days.

She looked haggard, with dull and calm eyes. She wore a simple black dress and a black lace hat on her head, as if she had just returned from a funeral.

Even though she had a young face and a petite figure, she still had the melancholy temperament of a "widow", immersed in the grief of losing her beloved, but had to cheer up for him -

Even though the two were just boyfriend and girlfriend, Toyokawa Shoko, after that, performed her duties as Ming Hai's wife more seriously than anyone else.

Nagasaki Suyo also remembered.

When she collapsed to the point of not wanting to see anyone, not wanting to leave the room, and not wanting to face reality, it seemed that all matters related to Ming Hai were handled by her and the Toyokawa family.

Including cremation of the body, holding a funeral... and also dealing with all kinds of troubles from the media and music festival organizers.

"During this period of time, she must have been more tired and uncomfortable than any of us, right? She didn't choose to escape, but chose to face such a painful thing head-on..."

"As expected, Xiangzi-chan."

Hiding his disordered thoughts, Nagasaki Suyo lowered his eyebrows, not looking into her pretending strong eyes, and just answered in a calm voice:

"He... won't be coming back. You should know this better than anyone else."

After a moment of silence, she bent down and picked up the bag on the ground: "...Well, I just hope more than anyone else that such a miracle can happen."

Speaking softly, Toyokawa Shoko took out the photo frame from the bag and gently stroked the gray photo on it with her eyes, as if to check whether there were any cracks in the smile that had been left there forever.

"As long as he can come back, I don't mind even if he's a ghost... Remember there's a custom of marrying a ghost? I've been researching it, maybe we can have a wedding soon."

As if she was concerned about her mood, Toyokawa Shoko used a relaxed tone to forcefully suppress the sadness that was surging in her heart.

Of course Nagasaki Suyo could hear it, and that's why she couldn't help but hug her arms tightly, lowered her head slightly, and her expression showed a little struggle.

Do you want to tell her?

She had clearly made up her mind, even if it meant betraying what she had promised Xiangzi, to be the first to meet him.

But seeing that she was in the same pain as himself, but pretending to be strong for him and them, Su Shi, who thought he was almost ruined, still felt a little heartache and guilt.

——After knowing that the reality they are in now is just a nightmare that Ming Hai had arranged in advance, Xiangzi should want to wake up immediately like himself, right?

Continuing to stay in this world would only make her more miserable and sad...

Nagasaki Suyo was caught in a dilemma between her love rival and friendship.

"No matter what, he must be very pleased to see that Su Shi-san has cheered up..."

Toyokawa Shoko put away Ming Hai's portrait and looked up. She did not notice the change in Nagasaki Suyo's expression, but instead saw a piece of hairband slightly exposed behind her.

"what?"

With a cry of surprise, Toyokawa Shoko quickly walked behind her, twisted the hairband with her fingers without permission, and murmured with some surprise and nostalgia: "This hairband, could it be that it belongs to Minghai-kun..."

"Yes, he gave it to me." Nagasaki Suyo came back to her senses and subconsciously pulled back the ends of her hair. As if she didn't want anyone to touch her most important treasure, she took a step back and looked at her seriously. "But it's not important now. Xiangzi-chan, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Toyokawa Shoko was still looking at the headband with concern. She stroked her bare hair unconsciously and frowned. "Is it related to Ming Haijun? When did he give you this hand to make a headband... And speaking of which, Su Shi-san, why are you here at this time? How did you get in?"

Nagasaki Suyo ignored her unnecessary questions, stared into her eyes intently, and asked word by word:

"Do you...want to leave this nightmare?"

"Leave this hopeless nightmare behind and return to the reality that he still exists."

Volume 166: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Suyo. Part

Nagasaki Suyo thought that Toyokawa Shoko should be able to understand what she meant.

After all, she was the person closest to him, and she was the only one who knew his last words... That might be related to the way to leave this nightmare.

Out of sympathy and guilt for having thrown everything on her during this period, Nagasaki Suyo reluctantly suppressed her selfishness and decided to "wake up" with Xiangzi.

This is not without some benefits - when she meets Ming Hai, she can make them owe her a favor, which will make it easier for her to hold him accountable.

In a flash of thought, Nagasaki Motoyo had already made a complete plan.

But after a moment of stunned silence, Toyokawa Shoko looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Leave this nightmare? What do you mean? What on earth are you... talking about?"

Haven't you realized it yet?
