Just as she was lost in thought.

Ling Qing turned to look at her and smiled, "Is there anything good to look at on my face?"

"Very handsome."

Fujimiya Sumina blurted it out almost without thinking.

Then she regretted it and covered her mouth.

What am I even saying?!

She really wanted to slap herself for just being infatuated.

Ling Qing remained unfazed by the praise.

Instead, they changed the subject.

"You are college students?"

"Yes, I'm a college student."

Fujimiya Suminatsu nodded.

Lingqing, are you one too?

"I'll be a college student next year."

"Eh?"

Fujimiya Sumina was very surprised.

Mingming Qing was more mature than her, yet she was younger than herself.

Younger man/older woman?!

A word suddenly popped into her mind.

Wow!

Chengxia, oh Chengxia, how could you be so lewd!

I despise myself in my heart.

On the surface, however, he chatted casually with Ling Qing.

Suddenly she noticed something very strange.

He glanced at Ling Qing, then looked at himself.

He asked in confusion, "Ling Qing, why aren't you wet at all?"

"Maybe I just got lucky," Ling Qing said dismissively.

If your water could soak him, that would be terrible.

"oh oh."

Fujimiya Sumina didn't investigate further.

Soon.

Ling Qing then took Fujimiya Sumina home.

"I will definitely wash the coat and return it to you later."

She made that promise as she left.

She watched Ling Qing leave in his car before leisurely heading home.

……

Ling Qing originally planned to leave an impression on Fujimiya Sumika before heading home.

You receive an unexpected message halfway through the journey.

Rio Futaba: "Are you there?"

"She actually messaged me?"

Ling Qing was somewhat surprised.

He replied after a moment of surprise.

Ling Qing: "Yes, is there something you need? You can just say it."

Futaba Rio: "Okay."

Rio Futaba: "I've been replaced by myself."

This sounds strange, but Ling Qing, who knows her situation, quickly understands what's going on.

Ling Qing: "You mean you've taken over her life now?"

Rio Futaba: "That's right."

Rio Futaba: "You can say I'm selfish, I want to experience what it truly means to live."

Ling Qing: "I won't say you're selfish. Everyone has things they want to do while they're alive."

Ling Qing: "As long as you're not trying to attract attention by posting photos online, I can understand."

Rio Futaba: "Oh? You care that much about other people seeing me?"

Ling Qing: "Of course."

Ling Qing: "I've said it before, I decided I wanted to have both of you at first sight, so I'm very possessive."

Rio Futaba: "You're such a confident and domineering scumbag."

Even so.

But at this moment, in Rio Futaba's room, the outgoing Rio Futaba lies on the bed, holding her phone with a faint, happy smile on her lips.

"Since you've put it that way, of course I won't do it."

Given the choice between being popular with many people and receiving enthusiastic and straightforward attention from young people, she chose the latter.

Rio Futaba: "My other self is very weak. She's already homeless. She's so pitiful."

Ling Qing: "Hehe, this is what you specifically wanted to tell me, isn't it?"

Ling Qing: "Tell me, how do you want me to help her?"

He did not believe that the extroverted Rio Futaba had evil intentions in driving away the introverted Rio Futaba.

The introverted Rio Futaba is kind; she would rather run away from home herself than expose the other Rio Futaba.

The outgoing Rio Futaba is also kind.

After all, aside from their extroverted and introverted personalities, they are all Rio Futaba herself.

Personality can change, but one's true nature will not.

Rio Futaba: "I know I might disappear one day, but I just want to experience what it truly means to be alive."

Rio Futaba: "So I can only make do with the other me for a while."

Rio Futaba: "She should be at position xxxx now."

Rio Futaba: "You said you wanted to have her, right? If you want to have her, you can't let her be in danger, okay, Rei-kun~"

Ling Qing: "Since you've handed her over to me, don't regret it."

Ling Qing couldn't help but sigh.

This is like sending a sheep into the jaws of a tiger.

"Master, let's change our destination..."

……

"regret?"

Rio Futaba puts down her phone.

Lie flat on the bed in a starfish position.

Looking at the ceiling light, it's as if I'm seeing another version of myself.

"I won't regret it."

"Sorry, my other self, I don't know if love at first sight exists, but I want to reciprocate his feelings."

……

"Ugh."

A figure swayed gently on the park swing, occasionally letting out a sigh.

Rio Futaba is feeling a bit lost right now.

She saw an exact replica of herself.

That version of herself completely replaced her.

Now she is homeless and has nowhere to go.

"Where should I go?"

I do have some money on me, so I can find a hotel or guesthouse to stay in temporarily.

But what should we do next?

How do you face another version of yourself?

How to meet another version of yourself without causing a big commotion.

And most importantly, where to begin analyzing the current situation, and why another person exactly like oneself has appeared.

These things gave Rio Futaba a real headache.

"Futaba Rio."

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of someone calling her name.

A look of confusion appeared on his face.

What I saw was a stranger, yet I vaguely remembered him.

Did you call me?

Ling Qing turned her head and looked around.

"It seems like there's no one else here but you and me. From a scientific point of view, I'm the only one talking to you, right?"

"..."

When science was mentioned, Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and revealed a serious expression.

"uncertain."

"Oh?"

"There's also a chance it's just my imagination, or even... quantum mechanics."

"..."

Ling Qing twitched the corner of her mouth.

"As expected of you, when in doubt, quantum mechanics."

"Ok?"

These words made Rio Futaba feel strange.

So he asked directly, "Who are you? Why do you know my name? And why do you seem to know me so well?"

"You have many questions, but I can answer them one by one."

Ling Qing noticed her intense thirst for knowledge and suggested with a smile, "But this doesn't seem like a good place to have a proper conversation. Let's find another place to talk slowly."

"..."

Rio Futaba cautiously retreated.

"Don't worry, we're going to a coffee shop. There are people with you, so what are you afraid of?"

Knowing what she was wary of, Ling Qing even offered a special explanation.
