I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Chitose in the movie had a smile on her face. Her smile was bright and happy, and Xiangzi felt warm just by looking at her.

“I don’t know if I can still be with you when I go to school, grow up, and work, but I will always love you.”

“You’re such a bad boy! Sometimes when I take pictures of you you hide from me, so I can only take pictures of you secretly!”

"If you miss me, watch this movie! If I'm not by your side, watch this movie too! You don't have to rely on vague memories to miss me. As long as this movie I gave you is still here, I will still be by your side."

[“This is—your beloved Chitose! It took a whole year to shoot! This is a painstaking work!”]

“It’s a wonderful thing to be able to decide how to remember someone. This is Chitose. We’ll meet outside the movie. I’ll love you forever.”

Video, end.

"..."

After the movie ended, Shoko Toyokawa didn't applaud. She just sat there and savored every minute of the movie.

It was Chitose Toyokawa who broke the silence.

"How are you, Xiaoxiang? You're making me nervous when you don't say anything."

The girl pitifully turned Xiangzi's little head over and they looked at each other face to face.

"I... don't know how to describe it, but one thing is for sure..."

"What?!"

"It's amazing!" Xiangzi's enthusiasm ignited the night and darkness. "I love it so much. This is the best, best, best movie I've ever seen! I, I never thought that Xiaosui would give me a gift like this!"

Shoko Toyokawa hugged Chitose Toyokawa tremblingly, her whole body was hot!

[I am hidden in every frame of the movie... Xiao Sui filmed me so well——]

So cute, so well-behaved, so perfect.

It can even be said that the Xiangzi in the movie is a better Xiangzi than the real Xiangzi Toyokawa.

"I...I, I-I...I I I..."

"I'll never forget it!"

Ch453. At that moment her world was filled with color

"Do you like it?"

That's how the usually quirky sister spoke, with one eyebrow raised as if to take credit.

"like."

The darkness in the room grew deeper and deeper, but Xiangzi was not afraid at all.

She took Qiansui's hand, and when the movie ended, the light in front of her eyes disappeared instantly.

【Darkness has never obscured my vision. Because I have you in front of me.】

"I, I don't know how to explain myself."

They hugged each other, the warm elder sister and the warm younger sister enjoying each other's heartbeats at the moment.

"Then don't say anything. Listen, Xiaoxiang, listen...hasn't your heartbeat responded to me?"

"What does my heartbeat tell you?"

Their cheeks rubbed against each other. Xiangzi resisted the urge to kiss Chitose's cute and smooth little face, and turned his head away and said with a pout.

"Your heartbeat tells me that I have captured you."

He tried to resist pecking the other's face a few times, but Qiansui had no intention of resisting at all.

She kissed Xiangzi's forehead and cheeks again and again, and they were like two kittens playing affectionately.

"Huh...Xiao Sui, I have a gift for you too, stop pecking me—I can't even move my hands!"

"What does Xiaoxiang want to give me?"

"Let's go out and take a look. It's so dark here."

"Okay, let's go out!"

Xiangzi carefully put the projector and movie disc into her arms. This was the most precious gift she had received in the past seven years of her life!

No one has ever cared for me, respected me, or understood me like you do... You're so sweet, and you always give in to me...

Groping his way towards the warehouse door in the darkness with low visibility, Xiangzi kept staring at Chitose.

Even if she can't see clearly, she has to look in the direction of Qiansui, because that is the one she loves in her heart.

【Young age.】

Maybe you are more like my sister than me.

I really want to stick with you forever...Why are you so cute?

When Chitose Toyokawa put her hand on the warehouse door handle and was about to open the door inward, Xiangzi was quick to kiss Chitose's ear.

boo——

"Hey! Sneak attack on me!? I want to kiss you back!"

"No way! Your saliva smells stinky."

The two little ones worked together to open the door. The refreshingly clear moonlight outside the house made their shadows long and slender, and the shadows extended inward until they reached a certain point and then merged into one.

Ah, it turns out that it’s not the shadows that are interweaving.

They held each other.

"What gift is Xiaoxiang going to give me? It can't be just a hug, right?"

"If it's really just a hug, will Xiao Sui think I'm being perfunctory?"

"No way. If you just give me a hug, doesn't that mean you're giving yourself to me?"

"Hey! You're such an idiot, huh—look at my gift! It's super cool!"

Toyokawa Shoko, who was still not as tall as the railing, finally picked up the gift box that she had placed beside her.

She pressed the edge of the box with both hands to cover her face.

"What is this?"

"This is... hey, open it and take a look yourself. I told you you wouldn't be expecting it."

"Humph."

Qiansui held Xiangzi's hand, she smiled, she acted coquettishly, and she took the gift box.

The outer packaging is gently opened, and then the gift can be seen when the inner box is opened.

Amid Toyokawa Shoko's anxious anticipation, Chitose held up the cute little teddy bear with a twinkle in her eyes:

"Wow! So cute! Did Xiaoxiang make this himself?"

"Hey! How did you know..."

"Because there are no secrets between you and me," Qiansui smiled back as they walked hand in hand, "I can tell at a glance!"

【What the hell… Really.】

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled sincerely.

[I feel like I'm being looked down upon. Xiao Sui's reaction is so indifferent.]

"I could tell right away that Xiaosui was actually much more panicked than she looked. She couldn't even open her eyes to watch a horror movie, yet she actually dared to hide in a pitch-black warehouse waiting for me."

"That's because I knew you would come to see me."

Chitose slowed down his pace: "If you don't come to find me, I will be terrified and scream in fear."

"That kind of thing won't happen."

The road continued to extend, and when the girls walked past an old cedar tree while laughing and chatting, they saw a touch of green resting beside the trunk.

"Eh?"

Chitose hugs the teddy bear tightly:

"Xiao Mu?"

"Have you been...waiting for us here?"

……

Time goes back half an hour.

Walking on the path back, Wakaba Mutsu parted the bushes and caught a meowing little wild cat from inside. The orange cat was frail and it was obvious that it had not been well fed.

After leaving the food in his pocket, Mu returned to the path and found that most of the petals of the small wild flower in his pocket had fallen off.

"Mm..."

There was a flicker of reluctance in her eyes, and she held the flowers carefully as if she was holding the girl's little face.

"age."

This flower is not expensive, not pretty, not bright, and not strong, but Mu likes it very much.

【Because, this is a gift from Chitose. 】

Qiansui has always been under the strict watch of Xiangzi, who is a food-guardian, and Ruoye Mu realized this from the beginning.

Continuing on, I was still a few hundred meters away from the banquet hall. Sometimes, having a manor that large wasn't a good thing.

"Um…"

When she is sad, she won't whine like other girls of her age. Instead, her whine is a dull hum.

"Actually, Mother won't come to see me, Xiaoxiang."

Putting the little wild flower in her pocket again, she slightly opened and closed her lips:

"Mother won't care about me. She's busy with her own things and entertaining everyone with Father."

The party will last for a long time, and the so-called birthday party is just a pretext for those bad adults to talk about work and other things.

The reason she told the little lie was simply because she didn't want Xiangzi to think that she was a nuisance and didn't understand the ways of the world.

after all--

"I'm just an outsider, you are the sisters... Yeah."

She took a nap against the tree trunk where she found the cat. The wild cat had already escaped, but she was trapped by a faint melancholy in her heart.

【I also want to play with Xiaosui. 】

She kept thinking about everything she had experienced that afternoon, and amidst the bitterness, there was still a hint of sweetness that she could savor.

In the afternoon, Xiangzi was taken away to serve as the face of the Toyokawa family, which gave Wakaba Mu an unexpected opportunity.

His eyes flickered, and the dreamlike scene from a few hours ago reappeared before Mu's eyes.

At that time, she was standing in the backyard basking in the sun like a bored doll. Her mother told her to wait here and take her to meet the new guests later.

The sun wasn't too scorching then, but the wind wasn't gentle at all, until...

"Hey, Xiao Mu, what are you doing!"

The girl suddenly appeared, and the smile on her lips made people tremble.

At that moment, the dull world became colorful.

Ch454. Finally, Chitose Toyokawa disappears

The girl took her hand, and there was a large flower field in the backyard.

They shuttled through the flower fields, and their laughter drowned out the sound of the wind, making people feel refreshed.

"Xiao Sui... run slower... I can't breathe."

At that time, no one disturbed them. No one, no one, joined or interfered with Toyokawa Shoko. It was as if she was the only one left in the world! Wakaba Mu! And Toyokawa Chitose!

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Look, there are little butterflies over there."

Qiansui held a wild flower in his hand and handed it to Mu.
