Originally, she was very curious about the outside world and yearned for freedom, but when she really came outside, she found that it was just a bigger cage.

Social rules, identity prejudice, noisy voices, hypocritical smiles, invisible constraints...

She doesn't like and can't adapt to that kind of world.

As expected, it is better to keep things simple. In a world without teachers, there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

Recently, she has been thinking about...

"If, Yui-nee and I both know the teacher, then... will the teacher choose me?"

Every time she thought of this, her heart would ache as if pierced by a sharp blade.

Perhaps, in another world, my teacher and I would be a loving couple, but...

never mind..

There are not so many "ifs" in this world...

Zero felt a little tired.

She gradually gave up thinking, relaxed her body, and prepared to face her own death.

"Let me...live forever in your heart, Sensei."

The light reflected by the silver dagger swept across the darkness, and Zero was ready to accept the coming death.

but...

The next moment, she was completely stunned.

Flash

The silver light that was originally pointing at her throat slowly changed direction and moved to a position that she could not believe.

The dagger flashed with silver light, and the person it stabbed was not her, nor Yu Yi on the other side, but...

Ye Shi's own throat.

"That's... my answer."

Ye Si clamped the dagger against her neck. The sharp cold light could easily cut her throat, and there was no sign of retreat in her eyes.

and many more...

why?

No!

The teacher cannot die...

The scene before her was completely beyond Zero's expectations, and she stood there as if petrified.

You already knew the correct answer, so why didn't you kill me instead of turning the weapon on yourself...?

Can't...

The teacher must not die...

If the teacher dies, my death will be meaningless. If I leave this world, I will not be able to stay in the teacher's heart.

Kill me..

Kill me quickly...

And so, it's all over.

Zero kept shouting in his heart, but...

Tick-tock

The blade cut the skin and blood dripped down the tip of the knife.

Ye Shi took action.

She was serious, and there was no intention of retreating in her eyes. She looked quietly at Ling not far away, and the hand holding the dagger began to exert force, and her red eyes were unusually firm.

no...

Absolutely not...

The teacher must not die!

The teacher is different from me. He has many things: friends, a lover, a home to return to...

The teacher cannot die because of me...

I...can't live with my teacher on my shoulders.

So please, please stop.

Tick-tock

The blood continued to fall.

what to do...

At this moment, the timer above my head returned to 0 seconds.

"stop.."

Zero looked at the teacher who was about to commit suicide in despair, his body slumped on the ground as if exhausted. He stretched out his hand forward, but didn't know what to do.

It was in this brief moment that the dark barrier began to loosen.

..

"Yaito!"

crackling-

There was a sound of the crystal coffin breaking, and the translucent crystals floated in the air.

Unlike Zero, who stood still, a petite figure appeared beside her, breaking through the darkness of the cage and running straight towards Ye Shi. Then...

"Bang"

A soft crashing sound.

Yui rushed forward and hugged Ye Shi who was trying to commit suicide, threw her to the ground, and said loudly:

"Idiot! What the hell are you doing!?"

After saying that, a few crystal tears fell.

Yu Yi, who was riding on her, had a trembling voice, tears dripping down her cheeks, and she had already sobbed uncontrollably.

"Feel sorry..."

Ye Shi lowered his dog ears, looked at his lover in front of him, and apologized honestly.

Although the plan was very risky, it was finally successful.

Love is a two-way thing.

Love is not a one-sided giving, but a mutual blending and trust.

Ye Shi chose to believe Yu Yi and believed that she could break out of the cage, so she pretended to commit suicide to deceive Ling into letting down his guard, so that she could finally break it all.

「Click」

It was like the sound of an eggshell breaking.

Cracks began to appear in the darkness above, and light from the outside world filtered in through the gaps.

As more and more cracks appeared, the dark space finally collapsed, and pieces of it fell like eggshells, eventually disappearing into the void.

Now, it is already "early morning".

The sky in the east was getting light, the darkness was disappearing, and a cool breeze blew through the ruins of the church, ruffling the hair of the three people.

"Stupid, idiot..."

Seeing Ye Shi covered in bruises, Yu Yi felt a lump in her throat. She buried her face in front of her lover and couldn't help crying.

"..."

And Zero still stood there, not moving a single step.

Now, she could only watch the two of them hugging each other from afar, and slowly lowered her outstretched hand.

...

Lost.

Completely defeated.

Originally, she thought she was the same as Yu Yi.

As long as they start from the same starting point, she might be able to surpass Yu Yi and become the teacher's lover.

But, it turned out....she was wrong.

Just now, in such a dangerous situation, she did nothing but stood there stupidly.

And Yu Yi, the girl who looked exactly like her, took a step forward without hesitation, broke through the darkness and came to the teacher's side.

She lost...

There is an essential difference between the two.

"Maybe... this is why the teacher likes Onee-chan."

Tick...

Tears streamed down her cheeks and finally fell to the ground.

Zero's vision gradually became blurred. The light of the sunrise seemed too dazzling and there was no way to look directly at it.

As expected, she still couldn't accept such a dazzling light, but...

So beautiful.

Under the sunrise, the figures of Yu Yi and Ye Si hugging each other in the ruins made her feel extremely dazzling, but she couldn't look away.

final..

Amidst the girl's painful cries, the world...welcomed a brand new morning.

Chapter 337 Wounds (4k)

The night is over.

The hazy sunlight drives away the darkness, and the world is gradually enveloped by gentle blue.

The light filtered through the rubble of the ruined church and fell on my skin, feeling warm.

"pain..."

Ye Si's whole body twitched and he let out a sound of pain.

"Don't move, or the wound will split. Just bear with it for a while."

In the ruins, Yu Yi was using healing magic to treat Ye Si's wounds.

A light green light was released from the palm of the little hand. This warm magic eased the pain in Ye Si's body and allowed the wound to heal slowly.

This is the "Intermediate Healing Magic" that Yuyi has just learned recently. She just happened to learn it in class these few days. She didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, but she is not very proficient in using it yet.

Although it is called "healing magic", it is different from the ability in the game that can revive a dying person with full health. The healing magic in this world can do very limited things.

After all, it's easy to destroy but hard to repair.

It's like smashing a clock. You can just throw it hard, but it will take hundreds of times longer to put it back together.

Besides, the human body is much more complicated than an alarm clock.

All Yu Yi could do was to relieve Ye Shi's pain and speed up the healing of the bleeding wound. The real treatment still had to be left to the doctors in the hospital.

"It must be painful..."

She looked at Ye Shi's tattered body, her cherry-colored eyes filled with tears of worry.

"Teacher...I'm sorry..."

Zero knelt beside him, like a child who had made a mistake, wiping his tears while using the same healing magic to heal the wounds on Ye Shi's body.
