Tokyo Soft Rice King

"I see you haven't been sleeping well lately, Mingjun...why don't you try sleeping naked? It'll be very relaxing..."

That would make it even harder to sleep!

Unless you are so tired that you fall asleep...and I'm afraid the sheets and quilt on the lower bunk will need to be washed the next day.

Hei Yuming sighed and said.

"I'd better sleep on the upper bunk..."

"Can't!"

Seeing Hei Yuming was about to get up, Zi Zhigong became anxious and turned over and pressed on Hei Yuming's stomach. He felt that his belly button was just blocked... the size was just right.

Luckily, I washed myself clean in the shower, so there shouldn't be any smell... No! How come I'm the one being treated and I'm already concerned about the smell?

Of course, Zi Zhigong would not let Hei Yuming escape to the upper bunk, so she started to settle old scores.

"Mingjun, you've been sleeping on the upper bunk lately after I fell asleep, haven't you?"

"Yeah, you're already asleep, and pillow time is over. It's my freedom to sleep wherever I want."

Hei Yuming relies on exchanging beds to ensure basic sleep time, otherwise it would be really difficult to fall asleep if he always stays in a state of fullness (stone) and blood (more).

"Well……"

Zi Zhigong couldn't think of any rebuttal. This was indeed Hei Yuming's freedom, and she had no power to stop it.

I simply stopped being reasonable and chose to activate the first killer move exclusive to women, the 'crying preview'.

"But when I wake up in the morning and find that the pillow is no longer in my arms, I will feel empty inside... Mingjun, do you want to see me cry?"

A woman's tears are a man's weakness.

Many men are helpless when girls cry, and Hei Yuming is no exception.

"Ha... okay... but you are not allowed to rub me or touch me..."

"Hmm... But if I don't relax... I won't be able to sleep well at night..."

"You have to rely on soothing to relax every night. Are you addicted?"

There is a syndrome called: emotional cross-legged syndrome.

The main symptoms are repeated straining to close the body, buttocks shaking, sweating all over, tense expression, flushed face, rapid breathing, hot breath, etc.

Hei Yuming had already "diagnosed" the above symptoms for her.

"Maybe I'm a little addicted... After all, it's hard for people to resist the emotional effects of hormones. Holding it in is actually bad for your health, isn't it?"

You are right, so I also want to relax... Now it is Hei Yuming who wants to cry.

But Hei Yu knew that it was not possible. If he also completely lost his moral integrity like Shionomiya, then he would really become the plot of the book.

It started with watching each other perform, then gradually turned into assisting each other, then continued with using props, and finally became a two-person performance...

The so-called bottom line is to retreat step by step until it no longer exists.

Once that option appears in the mind, it is difficult for people not to choose the option that makes them feel "good".

Hei Yuming is not a saint or a tough guy, and his endurance is limited. The reason he can endure until now is not because of his strong mental strength, but because he knows that human beings are creatures that will constantly persuade themselves.

Just like those guys who are addicted to studying for a doctorate or reading carefully, when the addiction comes, they can really do anything.

And Huang is something that is listed together with these two. As you can imagine, once you get involved with it, you can't quit.

There is only the first time and the countless times, this sentence is not a joke.

Therefore, only by not crossing the line in the first place can we maintain the bottom line...

However, Zi Zhigong was constantly testing his bottom line.

"Mingjun, you can also... just like I use you as a pillow... treat me as your pillow too, okay?"

"..."

So Hei Yuming's mind began to convince itself again.

It's like this, why not?

Moreover, a beautiful woman like Zi Zhigong is so proactive in offering herself for free. If I don’t eat it now, I might not have this opportunity in the future...

A feeling of regret gathered in Hei Yuming's abdomen, and with the soft pressure from Zi Zhigong, his rationality was on the verge of breaking.

If I don't find an outlet, I'm bound to make a mistake... A mistake? Is this even a mistake?

It's not my fault... She was the one who started it...

I just... followed her wishes...

If I compromise, she will be happy.

This is... the result she wanted.

They put themselves in the position of the victim in an attempt to justify their subsequent actions by blaming the other party for everything.

The despicable adult is already looking for an excuse to convince himself and comfort his heart for his future indulgence.

Finally, Hei Yuming took action and pressed down Zizhimiya Ziyin's shoulders.

Throwing all excuses behind him, he said like a man.

"Ziyin, I like you too."

"...!!!"

Zizhigong Ziyin opened her eyes wide, her body trembling slightly, as if blown by an invisible wind. Her expression of disbelief seemed to be frozen, allowing people to clearly feel the waves in her heart.

Her lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her words were blocked by the sudden shock.

Confession...is it true?

No! Wait! It could also be a crush between friends, don't misunderstand!

Mingjun is always like this, he likes to say things that can be misunderstood. When we first met, he said something like "give me half of your life", but it turned out to have a completely different meaning.

The meaning of Hei Yuming's words never contained any emotional meaning, and Zi Zhigong had already taken it for granted.

However, this time it was different. Hei Yuming chose to express his feelings through words in order to restrain his behavior.

It was filled with his selfish desire to possess Ziyin of the Purple Palace for himself.

"It's not the kind of love between friends, but the love a man has for a woman. I have to admit... I am indeed fascinated by you, Murasakimiya Shion."

“A wise ruler…!”

After receiving such a clear confession, Zizhimiya's expression instantly became extremely bright, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her voice was full of joy and excitement.

She was immersed in this sudden joy, as if the whole world had become more beautiful and full of hope.

She finally got... the man she loved most... Mingjun?

Her eyes, which had adapted to the dark environment, allowed her to see Hei Yuming's expression.

There is bitterness in the loss.

That's not the expression a man who has successfully confessed his love should have.

She suddenly felt her heart being tightened, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She bit her lower lip unconsciously, trying to suppress her inner panic. An indescribable tension and uneasiness spread in her mind.

She didn't know what would happen next, but the fear of the unknown made her body tremble even more violently.

Why...why do you have to make such an expression?

Do you think your confession will fail?

Impossible! Because before that, I had already clearly expressed my feelings to Mingjun!

And he said 'I like you too', which means he knows his feelings for him!

We are in love with each other!

So...don't make that face that says we can't possibly be together...!

Afterwards, Kuroba Ming began his "confession" to Murasakimiya Shion.

Chapter 200: The First Person to Reverse the Strategy

Hei Yuming is just an ordinary person.

Even without looking at his right hand, he was clearly aware of his mediocrity.

His cheats can only copy other people's talents, which are not his own after all.

"Ziyin, you may think I'm special... but actually, there's nothing special about me. I'm just like everyone else. I was attracted by your appearance and fell in love with you superficially."

"..."

It doesn't matter just because of appearance...!

Zi Zhigong really wanted to shout this to him, but she couldn't say it... because she couldn't help but ask herself: Is it really okay?

No, it doesn't matter at all.

Because Kuroba Akira is the first man that Murasakimiya Shion has ever fallen in love with in her life.

So she hoped that Hei Yuming would like everything about her, not just her appearance, but also hoped that he would love her inner self.

If he only liked me for my appearance, I would be very sad and would fall into inferiority complex, thinking that I was just a pretty woman, and the backlash might be even more severe.

Because it was because Kuroba Ming recognized Murasakimiya Shion's talent that her heart, which was broken by her own beautiful appearance, was able to be reborn.

Hei Yuming continued speaking without being interrupted.

"If we were classmates, I would definitely confess to you."

Of course, this assumes that Kuroba Akira is a real student... but he is already an adult.

When we become adults, we lose our pure emotions and prioritize pursuing material conditions.

If I had met Murasakimiya Shion during my school days in my previous life, she would probably be my first love and secret crush.

However, if he did so, he would confess to her like other ordinary boys who also had a crush on Murasakimiya, and then be rejected by her.

Because I am not special, I have no chance to get in touch with her.

Hei Yuming revealed this to her.

"But if we were just classmates or friends, do you think we would have developed this 'one step away' relationship?"

"..."

Yes! There will be a fateful encounter!

She wanted to say that, but couldn't because she knew it was unrealistic.

Even though she was in love, she understood that her meeting with Hei Yuming was based on the premise that she ran away from home.

If it weren't for the encounter at the abandoned shrine, she might not have known Kuroba Akira... This fact left her speechless.

Hei Yuming gave her the answer.

"The answer is no, because if they are just classmates or friends, the relationship is very weak. It is so weak that just moving or changing schools may naturally break the relationship."

"..."

"Ziyin, do you still remember the names and appearances of the boys who confessed to you in middle school?"

"Well……"

"You can't remember them, right? That's normal, because they are not important to you, they are just passers-by in your life."

Murasakimiya Shion tried to recall the scene when she was confessed to in the past, but it was indeed only a very vague impression. She couldn't remember the name or the appearance at all.

She had encountered it and seen it, but never cared about it.

Then she finally understood why she felt so worried when she saw Hei Yuming's expression just now.

Because Hei Yuming's expression is the same as those boys.

He confessed his love even though he knew it would fail, and then showed an inferiority complex after being clearly rejected.

It turns out that wise rulers also have low self-esteem...

He is not always as confident as he appears. He has his vulnerabilities deep down and feels unworthy of himself...
