Please smile at me alone for the rest of your life.

"Sister, can you smile more?"

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu blinked:

"I try my best."

It's just that I can't do it.

"Really? What about tickling? If I tickle your armpits, will you laugh?"

Ningzi jumped off the swing and, with ill intent, scooped Mu off the swing.

"Ning? No..."

"Sister, you can't have your way of doing this!"

Chapter 18. Takamatsu Akari's Words & Mischievous Sister Mutsu

Takamatsu House, the bedroom with the light.

The room was poorly lit, and if it weren't for the few rays of light sneaking in from outside, the room would have been even dimmer.

Gao Songdeng curled up in the sheets, holding a pen in her right hand and a flashlight in her left, writing and drawing in a notebook with a cover printed with purple-red azaleas.

“Xiao Ning…”

She simply drew a little figure and labeled it "Neko" below.

Xiangzi talked to me many times today, which was something I never expected.

The last time was inside the astronomy club, but most of the time both sides remained silent.

Silence was the main theme of the astronomy club today, but it made Deng feel more complicated than any words.

It was Xiangzi who spoke first.

Xiangzi said:

Ningzi's condition isn't very good, please don't upset her... Deng, wishing you happiness.

That's it. Xiangzi's words came to an abrupt end, leaving only this short sentence.

It feels like Xiangzi is facing a train dilemma: whether to save five people or abandon one person on the other side.

If Xiangzi had the choice, she would definitely jump onto the train and try to stop it with her own body.

I wish you happiness and such.

Gao Songdeng turned to a new page and wrote down "Wishing you happiness" that took up half the page.

So what exactly did Xiangzi mean by that...?

Takamatsu was truly shocked by everything that happened today.

The long-awaited reunion of Toyokawa Ningko, the strange state of Toyokawa Shoko, Ningko's continuous close contact, and Shoko's multiple meetings.

I feel that even if I told my past self about today's experiences before I went to sleep yesterday, the other person probably wouldn't believe me.

Ningzi's condition isn't very good, please don't upset her. Best wishes for your happiness.

What exactly does this sentence mean?

Takamatsu Tama wrote in his notebook:

Ningzi is not in good condition.

Does this mean that Ningzi has a health problem?

A state of being is not necessarily physical; it can also be mental.

Suffering from torment and discomfort can also be considered a sign of poor mental state.

So, what exactly happened to Ningzi? What caused her physical or mental problems?

"Could it be?"

Is it for the same reason as leaving the band?

Thinking of this, Takamatsu felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Xiangzi said that leaving the band was not Deng's fault, but her own.

So, as long as we figure out why Ningzi and Xiangzi left the team, all the problems will be explained, right?

After drawing a large circle around that sentence, Gao Songdeng began to think about the next one.

Please don't... upset her...

The fact that Xiangzi didn't want to upset Ningzi shows Xiangzi's concern for her younger sister.

This relates to the first sentence, because Ningzi has health problems and can't handle stimulation.

So, not provoking Ningzi means...

"If Ningzi tries to touch you again... will you continue to comply?"

Oh, how could I have thought that?

Takamatsu turned off the flashlight and buried her face in the soft pillow.

"Ningzi is so enthusiastic, much more so than Xiangzi..."

And Ningzi would smile at me... Xiangzi doesn't smile at me anymore, only Ningzi would smile at me...

Ningzi would hold my hand, and now only Ningzi would hold my hand without holding grudges...

So who was it that ended the band's performance that day...?

Is it Xiangzi, or Ningzi...?

"It couldn't be Ningzi's..."

The lamp felt a great fondness for the suddenly returning spring butterflies; their intense heat still makes the lamp shiver when it is recalled.

Ningzi…

We just parted ways, and I can't wait to see you again tomorrow...

We'll be friends for life.

We'll hold hands for the rest of our lives...

……

"Are you going home?"

"So, sister, are you leaving already?"

"I'll give you a ride."

Ruoye Mu turned her head away, holding a fruit platter in her hands.

Ningzi called her "sister" the whole way, calling her that as sweetly as could be.

Just like when I was a kid.

"Is it tasty."

"It's delicious! Sister Mu actually knows what fruit Ningzi likes to eat the most. I like Sister Mu the most."

"..."

Toyokawa Ningko contentedly used a plastic fork to pick up a piece of mango and put it in her mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

It's so sweet, it's like eating fresh Takamatsu Toki human body sushi.

If you were to use a small lamp as a plate, you'd definitely see a very appetizing expression on its face.

You can also let Muhe and Xiangzi be the plates, since you'll be eating the same thing anyway.

Imagine sitting on the deck of a luxury cruise ship, sipping fine wine while watching the dazzling sunset, with three shy and adorable girls arranging sushi in front of Toyokawa Ningko…

I'm fed up. I can't stand this awful reality for even a second longer.

"arrive."

Wakaba Mutsu stood downstairs at Toyokawa Ningko's house, staring blankly at the window on the roof.

"Was that my sister speaking just now?"

"Ah."

Well, when Wakaba Mutsu speaks, he opens his mouth very small, and what he says is very brief, so Ningzi often sees Mutsu shut up before she can even hear him clearly.

I must pry open this older sister's lips, forcefully pry open her pearly teeth, and pull out her little tongue to polish it properly.

"Then I'll go up first. Thank you for the fruit platter, Sister Mu. Remember not to tell Xiangzi that I ran away."

"it is good."

Ningzi hugged Mu tightly. Mu's delicate body was so soft and hot, even though it usually looked like it should be very cold.

"See you later, sister."

"See you later..."

Ningzi took one last greedy breath of Mu's scent, then turned and went upstairs, disappearing from Mu's sight.

Ruoye Mu stood downstairs at Ningzi's house until the streetlights came on before leaving.

Her socks were dry by the time she finished walking.

I need to buy a pick.

"You're back? You're back in this place again?"

Toyokawa Ningko cautiously pushed open the door and entered. Xiangzi hadn't come home yet; after all, it was unlikely that Xiangzi would be seen until late at night.

One person supports a family of three, and also needs to go to school...

Xiangzi, you are so powerful.

The sounds of various objects and dolls filled the air again, most notably the teddy bear that Ningzi had accidentally stepped on by the door.

"I need to take another shower; I was just showered on Friday."

"trouble."

"Didn't you step on it, Xiao Ningzi?"

"No."

Damn it, these guys, they were quiet for a few hours and then started making noise again.

Is it really that hard for you to get out of my head?

Ningzi took off her skirt, took out a change of clothes, and prepared to take a shower.

This is probably the first time I've seen things return to normal like this. Before meeting Xiaomu and during the time after we separated, only Mu's voice surrounded me.

Sister Xiaomu is truly my lifesaver.

With juice-stained hands holding the faucet, Toyokawa Ningko stood in the bathroom, longing for Mutsu's warmth.

This cheap older sister is so cute.

This silly girl gets happy and looks relieved whenever someone calls her "older sister"...

I'm thinking of getting one.

Chapter 19. Can you give me gifts for a lifetime?

"Ugh, I don't want to go to school. Why did I have to come to this jail?"

"Didn't you come because of your sister?"

Behind her desk, Toyokawa Ningko scribbled and drew in her textbook out of sheer boredom, occasionally listening to the lecture while chatting idly with her teddy bear.

"But I wasn't in the same class as my sister."

"But now there's a victim here... friend, I don't see you having much fun."

Yes, the most interesting and laugh-out-loud things in school were Takamatsu Akari and Toyokawa Shoko.

Besides, Ningzi didn't care that everything here was instantly blown up.
