Putting aside everything Lixi taught her, Hailing knew that helping Ningzi solve her troubles was more important than any strategy.
"Um…"
"Xiao Hai, I don't know how to say this."
"Ok?"
"Yeah, it's really troublesome. Sometimes I... well, I end up self-destructing in the shadows, making all sorts of malicious assumptions about others... and labeling them with tags I've made up without their knowledge... Isn't that awful?"
Ningzi held her breath and said everything she could think of. Even though she had already been comforted by Deng once, her inner fear and anxiety were not relieved at all.
I want to tear things apart, like my own head and heart.
"No, it's not bad at all. It's just that Xiaoning is a bit sensitive, isn't it?"
She was a vulnerable child and had never harmed anyone, so she was not unlikeable at all.
With a smile, Hachiman Kairin extended her hand and gently patted Ningzi's soft hand.
"Hmm? Xiaohai... ah?"
Toyokawa Ningko felt the warmth spreading from Hailing's hand to her heart.
But when Ningzi raised her head with a complex expression, all the warmth vanished at that moment.
What did she see?
It was Nagasaki Suyo.
Nagasaki Motoyo sat opposite him.
She was laughing, laughing heartily, her face practically screaming, "I've got you!"
What about Hailing?
Where did my little sea go?
Why is Su Shi here?
Is it a hallucination?
The thought of Nagasaki Motoyo holding her hand... that annoying guy holding her hand... made Ningzi tremble uncontrollably.
Actually, Su Shi wasn't that bad...
But I just can't bring myself to like it right now...
"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
Ch130. Please bring some heavy love!
"I'm sorry, Su Shi, I'm so sorry..."
In the restroom of Yuzawa Cafe, Ningzi leaned against the sink and began to dry heave.
Aside from coughing up some juice, Ningzi couldn't squeeze out anything else.
I'm sorry, but I hate you. I'm sorry, but I really, really hate you...
Those two shocking acts of kneeling had a profound impact on Toyokawa Ningko.
That wasn't kneeling at all, that was kidnapping! That was kidnapping!
Once kneeling becomes a reality, Toyokawa Ningko will never be able to erase the past of being treated like Xiangzi.
Nagasaki Motoyo is the kidnapper who forced Ningzi to become Xiangzi. The moment she knelt down, no matter who was standing in front of her... that was Toyokawa Xiangzi.
I hate it, but I also feel sorry for it.
If you can slap Ningzi twice in a row, then Ningzi can openly hate and despise you, and make voodoo dolls in front of your picture every day.
But this kind of pathetic behavior, which is not really wrong but is still disgusting to you... Please forgive Ningzi. She is just a mental patient, not a place for you to vent your emotions or a target for your frustrations.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If you can kneel before the right person... at least it won't be Ningzi who's uncomfortable, right? Right!
"Su Shi... Nagasaki... why did you bring someone over again? Seriously... I don't know what to say to you. Don't appear in my fantasies, you idiot. Go find... Xiangzi, yes, find her, kneel before her..."
Ningzi scooped up a handful of water, quickly washed her face, and then wanted to go out.
But when she glanced in the mirror, something even more speechless happened.
In the mirror, there was a Nagasaki Motoyo bowing to her, one after another, with more force than kneeling and more force than an apology, muttering something but Ningzi couldn't hear it clearly.
"..."
"Haha, I've definitely lost my mind—"
He hurriedly returned to the washbasin, only to vomit up his lunch.
I'm so sorry, Su Shi, seeing your face now really makes me feel nauseous... I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry...
Ningzi raised her head and saw pale water droplets sliding down her cheeks, gathering at her chin where her tears had flowed that morning.
Water droplets dripped down, flowing from the faucet into the sewer.
Ningzi wished she could flush Motoyo down the drain too… I’m so sorry… I really didn’t mean any harm… Okay, Ningzi was all malicious! You Nagasaki Motoyo…
"Xiao Ning, are you alright?"
Is that sound Mu?
Ningzi suddenly turned her head, only to find the brightly lit toilet completely empty.
"Huh? Hallucination?"
Do you have a fever?
"what?"
Turning around again, Ningzi saw Wakaba Mutsu standing next to the washbasin. He was wearing Tsukimori's school uniform... but the style was different. It was... the junior high school uniform?
"Xiao Mu, when did you get behind me?"
"I've always been behind you."
"Huh? You're following me?"
Ruoye Mu shook her head, her face quickly contorting into Su Shi's expression.
"Xiao Xiang, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, please give me another chance! I'll do anything!"
"Go away! Don't come near me! Su Shi! Please don't come near me anymore! I don't want our misunderstanding to escalate any further... Please, please let me go, and let yourself go too..."
"Huh? Xiao Ning, what are you saying?"
Su Shi, who wanted to kneel down, disappeared.
Ningzi slowly loosened her arms from covering her face.
What lies before us is harmony.
Is it really harmony?
"Xiao Mu? What exactly is this...?"
"Xiao Ning, are you alright? You've been spacing out for a long time."
Yawata Kairin waved her hand in front of Ningzi, instantly pulling Toyokawa Ningzi back to reality.
"Xiao...Hai?"
"I'm here."
"Really... I was in the bathroom."
"You've been back for almost fifteen minutes. Are you sick again?"
Yawata Kairin touched Ningzi's forehead; it wasn't hot, but it was covered in sweat.
It's not summer yet, and the weather isn't hot or humid, so why is Xiao Ning sweating so much?
"Oh, really? Really?"
Ningzi let out a soft sigh, but didn't pour out all the frustration in her heart.
This is really bad, I'm about to break down. It's no use using sea lilies after all... the purity is too low... they can't heal me at all...
What I need is…
[Xiao Ning, keep biting me...]
A hint of understanding appeared in his amber eyes.
Toyokawa Neko needs the eternal security that comes from profound love... to think she can heal herself with Hachiman Kairin... such a foolish idea... how could I have come up with it...?
You should bite it.
Go and ask for it.
Go and search.
Takamatsu lamp…
No, it's the Takamatsu lanterns...
Find and hold onto those damned, sensual women's sweet feelings...
Whether it's a heavy friendship or an overwhelming love... these are the real life-saving medicines.
Ningzi glanced at Hachiman Kairin.
At this moment, Hailin's face transformed into Nagasaki Motoyo's.
Hate.
But compared to dislike, Ningzi felt that her feelings for Su Shi were actually more...
I just hate it! That's all I feel! You don't actually believe there's a turning point, do you?! Huh? Haha!
"Xiao Hai, I have something to take care of at home, I have to go now... um..."
"okay."
Hailin felt it was a pity; she had only used two of the hundred techniques that the great dating guru, Shiina Tatsuki, had taught her, and now the other person was about to leave.
So Li Xi's moves really are unreliable?
[If you think this move is unreliable... no, it's absolutely impossible for it to be unreliable. Just trust me, and if it doesn't work, I'll eat the drum.]
Hailing remembered that Lixi's last words were like this.
"Shall I take you to the tram stop?"
"Goodbye... I'm leaving now."
Ningzi never wanted to see Nagasaki Motoyo's face again, not even for a second.
I feel like I'm about to explode if I look at myself again.
Hailing watched as Ningzi came in weakly and then left energetically, having only sat down for a few minutes.
But she seems to be in a much better mood? She's walking with a brisk pace now.
"Hmm, this is really difficult. Xiao Ning didn't finish her juice."
Yawata Kairin stared into thought as she looked at the cup that Toyokawa Neko had drunk from.
"Waiter, another mango juice, please."
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment."
She wanted to try it and see what kind of juice Ningzi would like... She might not say she liked it, but at least Ningzi didn't dislike it.
Next time we go out, we can order in advance, which will be a surprise for Xiao Ning, won't it?
The lip print on the opposite glass seemed to be beckoning to Hachiman Kairin, inviting her to come closer and taste it.
But Hachiman Kairin refused outright.
She's not the kind of person who would drink someone else's food without permission, even if that person has left.
Surely no one would actually do that.
Ch131. Welcome to the Toyokawa family.
Unexamined.
Ningzi began to regret leaving Hailing.
