Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

Just like now, I really hope I can appreciate this mix of colors for the rest of my life.

I hope that after I die, someone will tear out that page from my notebook and burn it so that I can appreciate it in my next life.

He hoped that Mu would live longer than him, so that someone could burn the offerings for him.

The red-haired girl sitting next to me was terrified and dared not look directly at the two people beside her.

She had just witnessed Toyokawa's "crime" using the tools she had lent her.

She saw Ningzi collect Takamatsu's hair... and it seemed she even kept it...

How terrifying! These lesbians, these students, how come they're all like this? I wonder if I'll end up as a small statue in Tokyo Bay.

bang-

The scissors and tape were suddenly thrown back onto her desk. She felt a warm sensation on her shoulder, turned around, and was greeted by a pair of smiling eyes.

After Ningzi finished explaining the question, she walked over to her side.

"Hey, why are you spacing out? Are you okay?"

"No…"

Toyokawa Ningko's smile remained radiant:

"No, I didn't. Did I scare you?"

"I didn't see anything!"

"That's perfect."

After Ningzi finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door, holding a green-covered notebook in her arms.

As she walked out the back door, she suddenly glanced at the red-haired girl.

Through the exchange of glances, the girl seemed to understand something.

That's definitely some kind of threat.

And I'm absolutely not kidding...

Ch63. Blue Butterfly Embraces Gray Penguin

Today is Tuesday. What did Ningzi do today?

In her notebook, Ningzi labeled her collection with her neat handwriting.

【Lamp and Ning's hair】【Xiangzi's hair】【Lamp's character (evenly cropped)】【A corner of Lamp's notebook】…

Well, she found all of these today when she was really in a good mood, and Ningzi searched as much as she could.

You have to collect all the information before your initial enthusiasm fades, because who knows if you'll still want to use it to learn about others tomorrow?

It's also possible that I won't be interested in the people or things I recorded today tomorrow.

Maybe... they'll just throw the cute lamp away carelessly, like throwing away trash into the bin. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Ningzi leaned back in her chair, her once radiant cheeks now flushed an unnatural red.

I'm so happy, I learned so much today!

Tonight, after Xiangzi falls asleep, I'll use a flashlight to secretly read the notebook hundreds or thousands of times in my father's old room!

Ningzi's fingertips slid from the edge of the chair to the corner of the table as she watched her classmates leave the classroom one after another to go to clubs or go home, and she smiled sincerely as she saw them off.

Hmm, ever since I took sleeping pills last time, my evil older sister has forbidden me from going to the cute little lamp club.

They said it was for safety reasons, all for my own good... Oh, these are all minor things, but Xiangzi doesn't want me to go, so I can only obediently cooperate.

After all, Xiangzi is my favorite character.

"Little lamp, touch it!"

The fingers on the corner of the table moved forward again, bypassing the back of the lamp and climbing up the flat, steep cliff, leaving a clear and straight "path" behind the lamp.

"Oh! Hmm... Xiao Ning? What's wrong?"

The little lamp, still fiddling with the small stones it had just acquired that day, tensed up sensitively, its eyes gleaming as it turned to look at Toyokawa Ningko.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask my adorable lamp if she's free today? How about we go out and play together?"

The notebook pressed against Ningzi's face acted like a dividing line, vertically dividing Ningzi's cheeks into two evenly symmetrical parts.

Ningzi could smell her sister's scent and the lamp's aroma through the gaps between the pages of the book.

Yes, the scent of the lamp also carries my own scent.

It smells like the countless hot sweats distilled from myself and the lamp stuck together.

"Want to go out and play? Sure! Where shall we go?"

"I don't know either, I just want to go out with Deng... Let me think, shall we go to Deng's house? Okay, okay?"

Ningzi walked to the door and neatly closed it.

She's gotten smarter; leaving the back door open lets in countless uninvited guests, making it inconvenient for her to play with the little lamp.

Only when the door is closed will the little light turn into a cute little red light, emitting pink steam.

"Want to come to my house? Didn't you say you were going out to play? Coming to my house counts as going out to play too."

"Why not, you little fish lamp? After all, everything outside my own home is considered outside, isn't it?"

"Well…"

With just two fingers, she pinched the lamp's two lips, rendering it unable to speak. Toyokawa Ningko felt as if she were floating back to her seat as she walked from the doorway.

It doesn't feel real at all.

"Xiaodeng, it's settled then. I'll text you when I get to your building, remember to come down and pick me up."

"Don't you want to go together?"

"Although I really want to, you know it's not possible. I have a little fish sister to take care of. I can't help it, Xiao Xiang is the kind of silly little fish who cries and throws tantrums endlessly if I don't spend time with her."

"So that's how Xiao Xiang is...! Okay, Xiao Ning, go ahead, I need to go to the astronomy club to organize the logs."

"Okay, I like you. Good luck!"

With a flick of her wrist, Ningzi turned the doorknob and vanished from the light's sight.

In the classroom, only a gray penguin remained, staring blankly at the back door that had been closed again.

Ningzi asked, "Do you like me?"

It must be an auditory hallucination.

Xiao Ning…

Stones were scattered all over the table, and Gao Songdeng silently tidied them up.

……

"This is downstairs from Xiaodeng's house."

She took out her phone and snapped photos of the surroundings again and again, having already recorded five routes from her own house to the Touka's house.

Nothing is impossible, only infinite possibilities! We must discover a hundred more, a thousand more, even ten thousand more paths to the Deng family!

"Little Lantern, what will you wear to pick me up? A pleated skirt? A crop top? Hailin's black vest? Or a school swimsuit...?"

After Ningzi got home, she changed into the dress that her sister often wore. She felt that she smelled like Xiaoxiang all over.

Taking a closer sniff, it's like stepping back into every wonderful night.

I curled up in the arms of my delicious, silly little sister, enjoying the roundness and vastness of the night.

Ah, I really want to see my penguin right now! I can't wait to see her, I'm so excited...

Toyokawa Ningko glanced at the timing on her phone.

It's been a whole hour! I haven't seen my little fish penguin at all!

"Sorry, Xiaoning, I was just tidying up the room..."

Gao Songdeng ran over in a hurry, still wearing her school uniform from the daytime.

Oh my god! They actually chose the original flavor!

How daring! I love it! The light! I love it!

Ningzi opened her arms wide, making an inviting gesture:

"Want a hug, Little Lamp?"

"Xiao...Ning?"

The lamp stopped five steps away from Ningzi.

Hmm...this outfit looks so familiar.

The pure white dress swayed in the spring sunlight, as if the wind with a soul was outlining Ningzi's beautiful curves. Just for a moment when the sunlight shone, the lamp could no longer look away.

This is the Xiangzi she remembers...

So familiar, so very familiar…

It's like going back to the good old days, when a middle school student, due to a misunderstanding, tackled another middle school student who was reaching out to touch a fallen flower...

From then on, the world was filled with blue, so much so that when the dark clouds dissipated and the blue sky reappeared, the lamp couldn't help but want to confide its innermost feelings to the other.

"Ning, I..."

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me...?"

While Deng hesitated, Toyokawa Ningko stepped forward and gently embraced the fragile little penguin:

"Say something, you little fish. Are you thinking of me? I'm right here. What's there to be afraid to say?"

“Little…Ning…”

They're back, they're all back... Ningzi has also promised herself that she won't take sleeping pills anymore... Everyone's life isn't short.

This hug feels like I could enjoy it for a lifetime…

Is it really possible to enjoy this for a lifetime? Someone like me…

"sure."

"!!!"

Chapter 64. The bed of the lamp is Ningzi's tomb.

"What a lovely room."

It's like stepping into a buffet restaurant; the decor here... makes me want to take a bite! It must be as delicious as the lamp!

Ningzi swallowed hard, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"Hey, I used to use this notebook too. I used to have a whole box of them when I was a kid, but now I can't find a single one... Wait, wait! Lamp even gave me one!"

"Yes! I bought the latest model too!"

The one making a strong entrance in a duck-sitting posture is Toyokawa Ningko, who is constantly reading a box of green-covered notebooks.

Before starting school, she had never actually owned any stationery of her own.

Her older sister would occasionally lend her her pen and tutor her in her studies.

The laptop thing was all made up by myself.

They only dare to speak so arrogantly because they saw that Xiangzi had owned it.

Xiangzi is indeed my greatest support in this life... I love you.

His nimble fingers flipped through the pages of notes, which were all fragments of words that Gao Songdeng had written down over the years.

Toyokawa Ningko couldn't help but read it aloud in a low voice:

"Even though I'm with everyone, it feels like I'm all alone..."

"That...that..."

Feeling a little embarrassed, Takamatsu Akari wanted to interrupt, but she was in a daze. The scene in front of her was... all too familiar.

"This is really well written."

It should be called "poetry," but if sung, it would definitely become "beautiful lyrics" that bring tears to people's eyes.
