After a brief silence, she picked up her coffee and took a small sip.
Finally, he asked, "You knew of her existence?"
Ling Qing nodded calmly: "That's right, do you remember that day we met in the lab?"
"……Um."
Rio Futaba had already figured out why she felt familiar with Rei.
I did see Ling Qing through the lab door that noon.
"Not long after that, I saw another you at a stairwell."
"So she was already there back then?!"
What a coincidence!
This was something Rio Futaba hadn't expected.
Rio Futaba never expected that just one glance would allow Ling Qing to discover the problem within her.
It seems she discovered it a bit too late.
Now she's worried about what her other self is doing that she doesn't know about.
"Do you... know what she was doing at the time?"
Ling Qing nodded: "I understand."
"After our conversation, I have learned about your situation, and you should thank me."
"Thank u?"
"Yes."
Rei told her about the situation at the time, especially what another Futaba Rio was planning to do to attract attention.
"..."
Hearing that she was going to take photos and post them online, Rio Futaba nervously gripped her coffee cup.
Photos posted online will be commented on.
If her classmates at school found out... she couldn't even imagine what would happen to her.
Fortunately, Ling Qing saw how nervous she was and offered words of comfort.
"Don't be so nervous. I stopped her and corrected her thinking."
"Very good…"
Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba finally felt relieved.
I also sincerely express my gratitude.
"Thank you for stopping her."
However, his gaze gradually became serious.
"So, who are you? And what exactly do you know?"
"Ling Qing is a student in Class 3, Grade 3."
After introducing herself, Ling Qing looked at Futaba Rio and said mysteriously, "The next topic is just that I have to tell you that she is you, and her appearance is also because of you."
"I?"
"That's right, you should know about the existence of a second personality, right?"
"You mean she's my second personality?"
Her second personality, of course, understood what that meant.
"But how can one become a second independent person? That doesn't make sense."
Ling Qing shook her finger.
"Unscientific? Ha."
He chuckled lightly and said sarcastically, "Isn't the quantum mechanics you're talking about also science?"
"..."
Rio Futaba had nothing to say.
If we're talking about quantum mechanics, then this situation doesn't seem surprising.
"Of course, from my perspective, this is a condition called puberty syndrome, and also an incomplete superpower. I have also met people with this kind of symptom."
"Illness and superpowers...?"
After pondering for a moment, Rio Futaba asked, "What is the cause of this illness?"
"The reason is the problems that trouble teenagers during puberty."
Ling Qing chuckled and said, "You should be aware of your own problems, right?"
"..."
Rio Futaba fell silent, it was unclear whether she genuinely didn't know or simply didn't want to answer.
Ling Qing then held up two fingers and said, "She is the personality you desire, that is, the personality you never had."
"She is outgoing, independent, and wants to attract attention, which means that you are introverted, withdrawn, and also yearn for change."
"...that's the pathology of your puberty syndrome."
"..."
The eyes behind the glasses stared intently at Ling Qing.
Rio Futaba couldn't understand why he knew so much about her.
"And the reason I found you is because another version of you specifically asked me to help you out."
Ling Qing told her the whole story, and there was no need to hide anything.
However, this also raised new questions for Rio Futaba.
"Why? Didn't she want to replace me? And what exactly is your relationship with her?"
Rio Futaba is now eager to know what her other self said and did to Ling Qing.
"There aren't that many whys."
"Don't you understand yourself?" Ling Qing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Futaba Liang was slightly startled.
Understanding yourself?
“She is also you; your inherent kindness will not change,” Ling Qing explained.
"She never thought of replacing you; she just wanted to experience what it's like to live for a while."
He shrugged: "Of course, you can also stand up and expose her; that's your freedom."
"..."
Hear this.
Rio Futaba calmed down.
"No, I didn't mean to expose her."
She was naturally timid and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"In other words, you want to give her a chance."
Ling Qing rested her chin on her hands and smiled, "Then we can proceed to the next step of our conversation."
“You have nowhere to go right now, so she asked me to help you.”
"There's not much I can do, at most I can provide you with a place to stay temporarily."
"Whether you need it or not is up to you."
"..."
She didn't answer immediately.
Instead, filled with deep doubt, he asked, "What exactly is your relationship with her, and why are you helping me?"
The two were clearly not familiar with each other.
"So you care about this a lot."
Ling Qing said helplessly and frankly, "I guess it's because I'm pursuing her that I show this kind of concern."
"what?"
This answer left Rio Futaba stunned.
Chase her?
another me?
To prevent her from disbelieving, Qing also made a special statement: "You heard me right, I have already expressed my desire to pursue Rio Futaba."
"!!!"
Rio Futaba shuddered.
Why did you specifically use your own name?
Just when she was at a loss.
Gabriel walked over.
After glancing at Rio Futaba, he said to Rei Ao, "Hey, come over here for a second, I need to talk to you."
After saying that, he turned and left without asking for anyone's opinion.
Having finished explaining the situation, Ling Qing apologetically stood up.
Watching Ling Qing's departing figure.
Rio Futaba seemed lost in thought.
……

A secluded corner in the coffee shop.
Gabriel said to Ling Qing, who was walking over, "That girl is suspicious."
“I understand that she has temporarily developed a condition called puberty syndrome, which is not a big problem.”
"..."
She gave him a deep look.
Gabriel waved her hand with a deadpan expression: "Fine, if you think it's okay, then it's okay. I can't be bothered with it."
"Tsk, tsk."
Ling Qing clicked her tongue and teased, "I thought you were planning to borrow money from me again, but it turns out it's for serious business. What a surprise."
"That makes sense, Gabriel. You're already doing part-time work, so you might already be financially independent and don't need to borrow money anymore."
"Uh…"
It hit me right where it hurt.
Gabriel's hands were trembling.
Financial freedom?
With financial freedom, why would I need to do a part-time job?
Ling Qing took in all the changes in her emotions, breath, and posture.
