Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 138 Akizuki Makoto's Inner Collapse

Although the air conditioning in the room was set to a very low temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, Akizuki Makoto, lying on the bed, still felt extremely hot, as if a ball of fire was burning his body.

This intense heat wasn't just burning his body, it was scorching his brain, driving him almost mad. He wanted to transform into a wild beast, pounce on Shimizu Rei who was pressing down on him, and ravage her mercilessly.

"System...System!!!"

With his last shred of sanity, Akizuki Makoto forced himself to stay upright, roaring inwardly to summon the system and open the shop panel.

He wanted to acquire superpowers to control Shimizu Rei and escape his predicament.

[Because you are being eroded by the abilities of an abnormal woman, this system is unable to provide you with temporary ability exchange.]

Please first remove the abnormal female-like abilities that corrupt you before attempting to exchange for temporary abilities.

When he excitedly redeemed the temporary hypnosis, the sudden pop-up subtitles made him want to curse.

What kind of god-like system is this? Why didn't they mention it before?
He really didn't understand why there were such restrictions. What was the conflict between abnormal women using superpowers on him and his desire to exchange for temporary superpowers?

The right of interpretation belongs to this system.

Seemingly sensing Akizuki Makoto's dissatisfaction, the subtitles floating in mid-air changed, almost making him faint with anger.

"Cheng, I'll be gentler."

As Shimizu Rei spoke softly, her hands had already traced Akizuki Makoto's abs and were now reaching for his pants.

She unbuttoned Qiuyue Cheng's pants and took them off.

At this moment, Akizuki Makoto was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts.

"..."

Shimizu Rei bit her lip lightly, looking at the shape bulging out of her boxer shorts, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes began to moisten and become hazy.

"Acheng, are you in pain? I'll make sure you're free soon."

"Li...you...are you really...really going to do this?"

Akizuki Makoto still tried to awaken Shimizu Rei and bring her back from her misguided ways, even though it was already impossible.

But he can't just sit and wait to die, he still has to struggle, right?
"Acheng, hate me as much as you want."

Shimizu Rei laughed sadly, placing her hand on the bulge in Akizuki Makoto's boxer shorts.

At that moment, Akizuki Makoto's eyes widened, and a strong current surged through his spine and shot straight to the top of his head.

Under such intense tingling sensation, he experienced the feeling of "ascending to heaven." His brain, which had been able to maintain the last shred of rationality, completely succumbed and became a blank.

At this moment, he had succumbed to the purest desire, and could only gasp for breath, writhing his body like a decapitated snake.

Makoto Akizuki doesn't remember much about what happened after that. His consciousness was consumed by pure desire the moment Rei Shimizu touched Niu Niu.

……

……

I do not know how long it has been.

When Akizuki Makoto regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the room was dimly lit.

The warm yellow sunset streamed in through the open window, illuminating half the room and turning the white sheets a deep yellow.

"Um……"

Akizuki frowned and murmured something, still feeling somewhat dazed.

So he began to recall what happened before he lost consciousness.

As soon as he began to recall, a series of memories welled up from the depths of his heart.

He remembered where he was and what happened after he arrived, but he didn't remember when he lost consciousness or what happened afterward.

"present!"

Suddenly, Akizuki Makoto shouted out, while looking around for Shimizu Rei.

But not only was she nowhere to be seen, even her luggage, which she had left in the room, had disappeared.

However, there was a note on the bedside table, covered by a water glass.

Akizuki Makoto immediately took the note. When he opened it and saw the first sentence written on it, his mind went blank and his heart collapsed instantly.

"I'm sorry, Acheng. Because of my own selfishness, I did something unforgivable to you and made an irreparable mistake."

"I can't face you anymore, so I ran away, leaving only this note to say goodbye."

"I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just want to make one thing clear: I love you, hopelessly and incurably."

"This relationship terrified and drove me crazy."

"—Goodbye, Acheng"

Looking at the contents of the note, Akizuki Makoto stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his hand gripping the note tightly.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why...why did you do this!"

"Li, why did you do this?!"

He gritted his teeth and roared, truly unable to understand why Shimizu Rei would rather be hated by him than do this.

Only then did he notice the mess in the room and the smell of bodily fluids in the air, all of which were burning his brain.

This not only fueled his anger but also caused his stomach to cramp, and an overwhelming nausea made him gag.

He absolutely could not accept such twisted behavior, and he could not accept even more that the lively and energetic girl in his memory had become such an ugly person.

"Li, why did you lie to me?"

"Why do you have to do this? Why, why?!"

The moment Akizuki Makoto's heart collapsed, his eyes stung, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

A vortex of emotions, including regret, resentment, and despair, tore his feelings to pieces.

At this moment, he wished it were all a nightmare, but the heart-wrenching sense of collapse constantly reminded him that this was reality.

He couldn't resist the desires fueled by his superpowers and slept with Shimizu Rei.

Even when they lost something, they did it in a murky and unclear way.

Qiu Yuecheng was unwilling to accept this fact, but when he lifted the quilt and saw the bodily fluids stained the white sheets, his emotions collapsed again, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

He didn't want to stay there for even a second longer, so he quickly put on his clothes and left the hotel in a state of emotional collapse.

Once outside, he started running as fast as he could, wanting only to get home quickly and continue to vent his uncontrollable, frantic emotions.

Passersby looked at him with a strange, pitying gaze.

After all, Akizuki Makoto's current state is rather embarrassing.

She ran while crying, just like someone heartbroken, which made people feel sorry for her.

After running at full speed for six or seven minutes, Akizuki Makoto returned home.

To his relief, the house was empty at the moment; Dongzi was not home.

Otherwise, if Dongzi saw him like this, he would definitely break down again. "Ha...ha..."

Qiu Yuecheng entered the entrance hall panting heavily. Without even having time to rest or drink some water to moisten his dry throat, he rushed into the bathroom.

He turned on the shower head directly, without even taking off his clothes, letting the icy cold water pour over him and soak his whole body.

Only then did he begin to take off his clothes and vigorously scrub his body.

But it was at this moment that he realized his body had become somewhat different.

When he was rinsed with cold water, a burning stinging sensation came from his back. He reached out and touched it, feeling the scratches.

Without a doubt, this must have been left on him by Shimizu Rei.

Then, many light purple marks appeared on his chest, abdomen, and neck, and there were two teeth marks on his shoulder.

"Wash it off, wash it all off!!!"

Looking at the marks on his body in the mirror, Akizuki Makoto frantically scrubbed them, not stopping even when his skin was bleeding.

The icy bathwater poured down his head, yet he felt a warmth in his eyes, and a bitter taste filled his lips, a taste of regret.

Although he could rub off the marks left by Shimizu Rei on his body, how could he erase the marks in his heart?

The thought of being deceived and then having sex with Shimizu Rei caused him a sharp pain in his heart, and his emotions were complicated and difficult to understand.

He really couldn't understand why Shimizu Rei was doing this.

They could have made up, and they could have kept it a secret from him, as long as he didn't find out.

But why would Shimizu Rei be willing to break ties with him, be hated by him, and still use her superpowers on him and have sex with him?
Makoto Akizuki had no idea what Shimizu Rei could gain from doing this.

In his view, Shimizu Rei was simply demeaning herself.

Only after scrubbing all the marks left by Shimizu Rei on his body until his skin was raw and bleeding did Akizuki Makoto leave the bathroom.

He looked at the dark living room, shrouded in gloom, and a sense of loneliness and despair welled up within him.

"Well……"

Qiu Yuecheng pursed his lips, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and returned to his bedroom to turn on the light.

Although the bedroom was empty, it didn't feel deserted because it was filled with plush toys and dolls made by Dongzi.

Now he finally understood why Dongzi loved dolls so much.

You can truly feel the presence of loved ones by your side through them.

"Dongzi..."

Akizuki murmured to himself, subconsciously reaching for his phone to check the wallpaper on the lock screen.

He searched the house thoroughly, even looking inside the pants he had taken off earlier, but still couldn't find his phone.

So he gave up, guessing he'd left his phone at the hotel.

But he no longer wanted to go back to that hotel. Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine, and a sense of fear filled his heart.

Clearly, he has developed a psychological aversion to that place.

"Ok?"

Just as Akizuki Makoto returned to his bedroom, he suddenly saw a black rabbit plush toy on his pillow.

He had seen this rabbit many times before; it was the one that Dongzi always carried with her.

It can be said that the black plush rabbit was with Dongzi 24 hours a day. Whether she was sleeping, going to school, going out to play, or even eating, she would hold it in her arms and keep it by her side.

Therefore, Akizuki Makoto didn't understand why Touko didn't take the rabbit with her when she went out.
Have you forgotten?
He felt that this possibility was almost impossible.

Dongzi could never forget to bring this plush rabbit out; it's like a part of her.

"However... it was very timely."

Akizuki murmured to himself as he stepped forward, picked up the black rabbit doll, and examined it closely. It was a doll he had made as a birthday gift for Fuyuko.

This plush rabbit is rather crudely made. Some of the seams are stitched together, making it look messy. There are also obvious signs of patching and mending, indicating that the assembly process was not done properly.

Even though it's a bit rough, it was made after he studied hard for more than a month and sewed it carefully for half a month.

That's why Dongzi cherishes this doll so much, regarding it as her most important treasure.

Akizuki Makoto lay on the bed, hugging a doll, and closed his eyes. His chaotic mind found a little peace.

Now, he doesn't want to think about anything or do anything; he just wants to lie in bed and lick his wounds alone.

I think I'll feel better after a good night's sleep.

Dongzi did not go home tonight.

Makoto Akizuki found out because he woke up hungry in the middle of the night.

He hadn't eaten anything since that breakfast that morning, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Since he didn't have much of an appetite, Akizuki Makoto simply fried an egg, added some vegetables, and cooked some noodles.

After filling his stomach, he continued to lie in bed, wanting to sleep.

Unfortunately, he slept too much today, and now he can't fall asleep. He can only toss and turn in bed, thinking about all sorts of random things.

After this day, he didn't know how to face Shimizu Rei.

My original plan to go back to my hometown for the summer vacation may have to be put on hold.

"Li, you are really...so selfish."

Akizuki Makoto thought of the note Shimizu Rei had left for him on the bedside table, and a shadow fell over his heart once again.

After using superpowers on him without permission, they ran away, afraid to face him, not even giving him a chance to vent his emotions. This goes beyond just being despicable and selfish.

He recalled his relationship with Shimizu Rei over the past ten years and felt only a pang of sadness.

He couldn't understand why Shimizu Rei had become so ugly and despicable.

That girl next door, who was always full of energy and gave off a sunny vibe, died today.

Perhaps, that was partly his fault; he failed to notice Shimizu Rei's changes in time.

It's also his fault for not telling Shimizu Rei directly when he realized her feelings, but instead giving her subtle hints.

and also……

If they had explained things clearly to Shimizu Rei back then, and hadn't deliberately hidden it from her, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Heh, so I've done so many wrong things?"

Akizuki Makoto laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking of the person he used to be, who never regretted his actions or any decisions he made.

He is now filled with remorse and desperately wants to go back to the past to undo all his mistakes.

But he no longer had the chance.

What's done is done; everything is set in stone.

Past mistakes cannot be undone or corrected.
