I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Takamatsu Deng looked at Noshiro Chitose in confusion. It was impossible that the other party came here just to tease him.

That's too despicable.

...... ...... ......

Ch120. Reminiscing, the first distant simulation

"What am I here for?"

Yes, what am I here for?

Qiansui blinked and began to rapidly practice the various tricks he had learned from the four simulations.

"I... miss Xiao Deng. Xiao Deng is the first friend I've made in many years... so, so I..."

"Ah, Xiao Sui..."

Deng seemed to become even more depressed. Maybe she felt sad because she could empathize with Chitose's experience?

She was at a loss as to what to do and wanted to hug Chitose, but because their relationship might not be that close, Deng didn't know whether she should hug him or not.

"Deng, can you give me a hug?"

Chitose's tone was soft, and the words she spoke were particularly seductive.

Moreover, her statement was no lie!

During her three years in junior high school, she was busy doing odd jobs, delivering milk, posting flyers, and removing flyers. Not to mention making friends, she was so busy that she almost lost touch with the world.

"Sure! Hug me, hug me."

Hugging each other, they experienced the warmth and softness brought by each other.

It took a long time before they let go of each other, but the cold feeling in the hugging parts made them feel uncomfortable.

They wanted to hug each other again, but no one dared to speak because Chitose and Deng were too busy blushing.

It’s just that the lights are brighter, while Qiansui’s red is more reserved.

Holding hands and walking forward, as if the past never existed.

They slowly walked towards the deserted Takamatsu residence, and all these actions were led by Chitose Noshiro.

Be happy if you meet Chitose Noshiro in real life. She won't try to write your life script anymore, nor will she find a group of NPCs to act for you. She will do her best to satisfy your fantasy of a perfect partner.

She will become your best friend and maintain this relationship forever.

"Huh... I haven't really looked at Xiaodeng's house since I came here during the day."

It's been years since I've been back, right? At least four or five years.

Chitose could not reveal that he was actually very familiar with this place, but the longing in his eyes reflected Chitose Noshiro's thoughts and feelings at all times.

"Huh? A small fish tank, so cute."

"Yeah! Dad brought it home unexpectedly a few days ago. He said he had a nightmare and wanted to raise a little fish to cheer him up."

Raising small fish?

Ok…

In the first simulation, Chitose Takamatsu loved going to those small aquarium shops when she was a child.

Those stores are tucked away in the corners of the city, and only free-spirited explorers like children will go looking for them.

She remembered that Yuji and Mitsuru Takamatsu liked to take Deng and Chitose out for some fresh air on weekends.

Chitose usually leads the way and takes everyone to the aquarium store.

There are several rows of bathtubs placed against the wall, and several rows in the center of the store to make it easier for customers to quickly view the small fish in the store.

The lighting in aquarium stores is often dim, but there are light tubes of various sizes hanging above the tanks.

Small fish of different species and colors swam under the lights, making the store look bizarre.

Or Takamatsu Chitose's Noshiro Chitose really liked that kind of atmosphere... Really, I miss it so much.

Chitose Noshiro stared at the bathtub in front of her in a daze, and she couldn't help but recall her wonderful childhood.

That was the happiest childhood she had ever experienced.

After all, she seemed to have no clear memory of her childhood in reality.

Later, I went to a real aquarium in the simulation, also with the Takamatsu couple.

The beautiful memories of that day were so vivid, she remembered herself standing in the aquarium as a little girl, with all kinds of sea creatures swimming around her.

There was a tank much larger than one in an aquarium store.

But Chitose still likes the shop. After all, the light also likes the shop. In the shop, in the dim world, you can always find Takamatsu Light who is equally obsessed with it...

Later, there were fewer and fewer specialized aquarium stores, and people seemed to have less time to raise small fish.

Only occasionally can you see a tank selling ordinary small goldfish in front of the counter of a flower shop on the corner.

Chitose knew that her aquarium was closed.

"Um…"

Not only that, her first Sims life also ended.

"Ugh…"

"Why are you sighing? Are you feeling unwell, Xiaosui?"

"It's okay. I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night..."

"Aren't we friends? This is nothing!"

Deng mustered up his courage, but still didn't dare to look up into Qiansui's eyes.

She stared at Qiansui's feet. "I don't have any friends either... Yeah! Li Xi doesn't have any friends either... So the three of us can definitely become good friends! It's just that we're not very familiar with each other yet! Once we get to know each other well, we can..."

Takamatsu Deng! What are you talking about? Ahhhhh! This feels so embarrassing!

"Pfft, seriously, you're plotting against Lixi behind her back, right? I'm going to tell her off when I see her tomorrow!"

"Ah? Wuwu, don't do this kind of thing, right?"

"Idiot! I won't tell you. You're such a jerk."

Chitose recovered from the memories.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of a sentence.

You and she went to see the snow together, but you didn't see the snow and she didn't see you.

It’s very appropriate now.

Qiansui and Deng stood in front of the small fish tank together. Qiansui did not look at the fish tank, and Deng did not look into Qiansui's eyes.

Because the lamp is looking at its feet.

puff.

"I'm leaving now, Xiao Deng! I'm glad to be your friend! Let's be good friends for life."

"Yeah! Xiao Sui...see you tomorrow!"

Qiansui's arrival and departure were as fast as Qiansui's, so fast that the warmth left by Qiansui on the lamp has not yet disappeared.

Gao Songdeng walked to the window and looked at Chitose from afar as he was about to go home.

"By the way, that overpass downstairs...what's it called?"

It seems that it is called Qiansei Bridge.

What a coincidence.

There are three street lamps next to Qiantsegawa Bridge.

The one that was built first and the one that was erected last had long since gone out, leaving only the one closest to the lamp house, which was neither earlier nor later, still shining diligently.

The street lights illuminate the Chitose Bridge, and the Chitose Bridge silently accompanies the street lights.

They seem to be happy just like this.

"Life, it seems to have suddenly become better again."

Although Takamatsu Deng felt uneasy when he thought about Chitose dying in a dream.

But it was just a dream. It was fake!

And even if the alcohol lamp and the mini lamp cursed Takamatsu Deng from another world at the end of the dream...but, that was just them!

Their Qiansui is gone, but their own Qiansui is still alive and well.

"Don't let anything happen to Xiaosui, everything will be fine..."

Deng closed her eyes and silently prayed for herself and Chitose. Finally, she looked into the distance at the direction where Noshiro Chitose disappeared, and then she closed the window slowly.

With just a "pop" sound, the world returned to silence again.

This silence must be warm.

Goodnight world, that's how it is.

Ch121. Cute lamps can’t be this cute!

Nagasaki Suyo has been in extremely bad form recently.

Let’s not talk about my own condition for now…Alas, my mother’s condition is even worse than hers.

I don't know what happened... Was it because of work problems? Or was it caused by some other factors?

My mother came home last night, which was a happy thing.

But the mother came back crying and locked herself in the room as soon as she got home. She never left the room until Su Shi went to school.

She cried like a little girl.

This made Su Shi's already bad mood even worse.

Moon Forest, a little after ten in the morning.

Su Shi, who had barely adapted to the pace of high school, lay on the table motionless.

She now has no interest in socializing and no energy to communicate with others. When the get out of class is over, she just wants to lie on the table and pretend to sleep to avoid the disturbance of the outside world.

So sad.

[Only by experiencing the hustle and bustle of life can one understand the pain of loneliness...]

Why did she have such a dream? If she had never felt such intense love, she could have endured the bland reality...

But after meeting Chitose Noshiro, she woke up and found that there was no such person as Chitose Noshiro who loved her in reality.

No matter who you are, please come and save me...

In reality, who can make me feel warm and happy? No one, reality is so cruel, so cruel that she doesn't know who to give her true heart to.

After all, I feel... only after experiencing true [love] can I understand how hypocritical and unbearable everything I have experienced before was.

Like now, for example.

She actually wanted to find out where Toyokawa Shoko had gone...but if Ye Mu and Toyokawa Shoko were passing the buck back and forth and acting as riddlers, they were simply playing tricks on her. What did they think of her?

A small pet that can be treated casually.

Although Nagasaki Suyo no longer had any feelings for Xiangzi, the emotions in her dream were perfectly inherited in reality, causing the resentment in her heart to continue to accumulate.

Whenever Nagasaki Suyo sees Toyokawa Shoko now, she thinks of the scene where Shoko hugs Chitose...tsk tsk tsk.

"Su Shi?"

Nagasaki Suyo felt the light and shadow in front of her eyes quickly dim, and someone was standing in front of her.

Plus this familiar voice...

"Mu? What's wrong?"

With thick dark circles under her eyes, Nagasaki Suyo propped up her head listlessly.

"Is Sushi okay? I feel terrible."
