Bai Weiran sighed.
Otherwise, how can you look beautiful on camera?
It's so against human instinct. Xiaoxi was able to persevere not only for Nana, but also because she herself had the means to survive.
Nana is gone again. She's so angry with He Qi that she says she's going to his house tonight to prank him—by opening and closing his wardrobe door all night.
“But I still get hungry, and there are times when I can’t help but want to eat.” Xiao hope smiled, less silent than usual, and took the initiative to pick up where Bai Weiran left off.
“At times like this, I play a game with myself.”
The word "game" immediately struck a nerve with Bai Weiran, energizing him.
Xiao hope took out three porcelain bowls, put an old little ball inside, and then spun the bowls very quickly.
“I used to play this with Nana all the time. We would put a box of candy in the middle and take turns spinning the bowl. When it stopped, we would guess where the ball was. Whoever guessed correctly could eat a candy.”
This was the first time Bai Weiran had taken the initiative to listen to Xiao Xi mention her past with Nana.
Although he had already heard a lot from Nana—Nana is really good at talking.
"Nana often guesses wrong, while I always guess right, so I eat all the candy."
"Now I'm playing by myself."
"I'll play ten times by myself. If I guess right, I can have a piece of candy; if I guess wrong, I won't."
Xiao hope stopped what she was doing and then lifted the lid of the bowl in the very center.
The ball is not inside.
"I guessed wrong, Mr. William. Guess where the ball is?"
Bai Weiran thought for a moment, then lifted the bowl on his right. Inside was a small ball. Upon closer inspection, he saw two simple line drawings of smiling girls drawn on it with fine black ink. Because of the passage of time and the wear and tear on the ball, the lines had become blurred.
Xiao hope gave him a peach-flavored candy as a reward.
Bai Weiran opened it and ate it; it tasted of technology and ruthless skill.
They played four more rounds, and Xiao hope lost every time while Bai Weiran won every time.
For the fifth time, Bai Weiran pressed down on the bowl, shook his head, and chuckled.
"Stop cheating every single time."
He realized that Xiao hope always knew where the ball was, so she deliberately avoided the bowl with the ball and chose other ones.
She lost on purpose—
Xiao hope shrugged. She hadn't taken off the schoolgirl-style Lolita dress she wore for the show recording, but her long pink hair was loose, softly draped over her shoulders, making her look innocent and carefree.
"I've developed a habit of playing this myself. If I don't, I'll eat too much candy."
"I'll play with you, and I promise you won't cheat."
Xiao hope glanced at him and snorted defiantly.
"I'm really capable," she added confidently.
"When I get serious, no one can beat me."
Bai Weiran nodded. "...Is that so?"
The next second, the yandere idol trainee saw Bai Weiran with his arms crossed, staring at the bowls, while the three bowls were spinning wildly on the round table at a speed of over 160 kilometers per hour, leaving only afterimages in sight.
Xiao hope: ………………! ?
Bai Weiran: Fight me?
Young people are just young people; they're too naive.

The consequences of challenging the existence of superhumans: the yandere idol trainee suffers a 42-game losing streak.
"You're cheating too!" Xiao hope stared at Bai Weiran with a face full of indignation.
"Do you dare to play at a normal skill level? Are you a sore loser?"
The bowls that were spinning wildly on the table gradually slowed down.
Bai Weiran shrugged.
"Question one: I dare not. Question two: Yes, I just can't afford to play this game." Finally, he crossed his arms and looked up at Xiaoxi.
"What, you have a problem with that?"
This shameless act left the yandere girl speechless, and she reached out to take the small ball back from the bowl.
“...What a despicable adult.”
She had just picked up the ball when she noticed that the pattern on it had been badly worn down from the previous high-speed competition, and the two girls' smiling faces were almost invisible. Before she could even frown, Bai Weiran snapped his fingers, and the pattern on the ball was restored to its pre-competition state.
Xiao Xi paused for two seconds before thanking him.
“This was drawn by Nana,” she said.
Bai Weiran guessed it.
Xiao hope held the small ball, pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up, her eyes darkening and devoid of light.
“I have a question for you, Mr. William.”
"Please speak."
Is Nana really by your side?
When she asked this question, she stared intently at Bai Weiran like a focused beast, trying to find even the slightest flaw.
Bai Weiran simply smiled, not answering directly, and slowly changed the subject.
"Her singing voice is so powerful it can shatter a glass."
“You used to make her egg pancakes, but you put too much flour in and turned the heat up too high, so you made her an egg pancake that was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The outside contained carcinogens and the inside contained Salmonella, but she still swallowed it.”
“She hates doing math homework; you did all her math homework in elementary school.”
"When she turned eleven, you gave her a star-shaped necklace as a gift—you're going to be a star."
"Nana also loves watching horror movies, and her favorite is 'The Strange Woman Who Came at Midnight'."
One by one, a light returned to Xiaoxi's gloomy eyes.
Language can deceive, but the details of how you spend time together cannot.
When Bai Weiran mentioned that Xiao hope had her first period and was hiding alone in the bathroom, feeling terrified and helpless, Xiao hope blushed and called for a stop.
"I believe what you're saying is true."
She blushed and muttered something under her breath.
"She's such a blabbermouth, she says everything that comes out of her mouth."
Xiao hope complained, but a smile appeared on her lips.
She knew things that only she knew: Nana had indeed always been by her side.
She held the small ball, rubbing it in her palm, looking at it again and again—
“Mr. William, I’ve always felt that nothing is immutable.”
"So when Nana died, I was in so much pain, but I was also secretly glad that she was dead, because from that day on, I no longer had to worry about Nana making better friends than me."
Bai Weiran: ...I can only say that the logic of yanderes is exactly the same in some respects.
He noticed a noise nearby and glanced to the side. He saw that Nana, who had threatened to open and close the wardrobe to scare people all night, had somehow returned and was sitting quietly between them, listening. She was resting her chin on her hand, smiling serenely. When she noticed Bai Weiran looking at her, Nana even looked at him with a smug expression.
"She's always worried that Nana will change her mind, but Nana would never change her mind! Hehe, but Xiao hope is the cutest when she worries that Nana will change her mind—"
"Nana, I love this kind of Xiaoxi! Xiaoxi reaching out her hand to Nana so desperately."
Bai Weiran slowly typed out a question mark.
Is it certain that this mission only involves one yandere?
Is Nana perhaps a fake optimist hiding a yandere side?
Xiao hope continued speaking, unusually calm and composed, taking the initiative to open her heart to Bai Weiran.
However, Bai Weiran felt that she wasn't saying this to herself, but to Nana next to her.
"Xiao Xi wants to like Nana in her own way, and also wants to like Nana in the way that Nana likes."
This topic is always controversial and noisy.
I like someone.
Ultimately, I should express my feelings in the way I want. In short: I like you, but it has nothing to do with you.
Should we try to please the other person in the way they want to be liked? Make them happy and satisfied.
Some say the former is better, some say the latter is better, but both are too extreme. People in a relationship are constantly shifting and adjusting between these two extremes to find a balance that is acceptable to both of them.
"I felt both sad and happy when Nana passed away. Nana allowed Xiaoxi to love her forever, and she fulfilled my most despicable wish; so I decided to become an idol too. I want to walk the path that Nana didn't finish. I know that when I stand on the stage, Nana will be very happy. I want to fulfill her expectations in the way she liked—"
This is the mental journey of a yandere girl who chose to become an idol.
A little selfish, yet also warm and adorable.
Bai Weiran couldn't help but laugh.
“Isn’t this great?” he said.
"I think you've gotten the best of both worlds, congratulations."
Xiao hope and Bai Weiran locked eyes. Through the half-crying, half-laughing mask, Xiao Xi could almost see Bai Weiran's smiling face. The pink-haired girl was stunned, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
It's not about condemning her for her dark mind, not about pitying her for being separated from Nana forever, and not about encouraging her to become a rising star and fulfill Nana's last wish.
You've gotten a win-win answer.
