All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

There is sea ahead.

Alas, idiot, Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head to look at him and sighed deeply.

Qingye looked at her in confusion.

Yukinoshita Yukino's fingers were entangled with her black hair, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and a pair of cold eyes were looking straight at her, with a hint of shyness, looking extremely cute in the halo of dusk.

"It will be over in a moment. I want to celebrate my birthday with you..."

Some women are like flowers that bloom desperately when they see a man, while some women are reserved and proud, swaying gracefully only for one man.

What's wrong with this woman? She's too cute, is that it? Is she one of those creatures that gets cuter as she gets older?

Qingye blushed and coughed twice:

"let's go."

Yukinoshita nodded softly, and the two of them walked to the beach.

Qingye raised his head, the sea was swaying quietly, and the setting sun was falling bit by bit above the sea.

The light red and dark blue complement each other, shining brightly.

Next to him, Yukinoshita Yukino held down her hair that was blown by the wind and looked into the distance with gentle eyes. In front of her was only the sea under the sunset, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

There is loneliness in the calmness.

"By the way, this is for you." Qingye took out a plush doll that was just big enough to hold in his arms from his handbag and handed it to her.

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head and looked away. It was Mr. Pan, the panda doll's bright black eyes sparkling in the light.

"Birthday present." Qingye said with a smile.

"You've already given away thirty-four Mr. Pans. My room is almost full of dolls."

Yukinoshita Yukino said helplessly, but despite that, she still hugged the doll tightly, her eyes moist.

"But each Mr. Pan has unique details! For example, I designed a wreath around the neck of this one, which is made up of exactly thirty flowers..."

Qingye argued convincingly, but there was nothing he could do. Yukinoshita had everything he needed. Every year he thought about it over and over again, but in the end he could only give it to Mr. Pan.

Yukinoshita Yukino whispered: "I know..."

The waves hit the shore and then retreated into the sea in a continuous cycle, and there was a brief pause in the conversation between the two.

The sea breeze was unexpectedly not cold.

Yukinoshita Yukino leaned her shoulder against his, raised the teddy bear in her hand, and muttered softly.

"Will I keep receiving pandas for the next few decades? I guess I need to buy a cabinet just for Mr. Pan."

"That's not certain. In ten or twenty years, when you become an old woman, I will definitely give you other things, such as a massager or health supplements..."

Kiyono joked that in fact, age is not a concern at all. The women in the Yukinoshita family have an astonishingly long shelf life, which can be seen from Yukinoshita's mother. Even after another twenty years, Yukinoshita Yukino will still be a graceful and beautiful woman, and she has enough foundation to support her temperament.

But what about thirty or forty years from now? He suddenly pondered this question. Even if the genes were powerful, it was impossible to go against the laws of nature. When Yukinoshita Yukino became an old lady with silver hair, would their relationship change?

"On the contrary, my body is definitely healthier than yours." Yukinoshita snorted. There was no way to refute this. Qingye felt that he would definitely die earlier than her. People who died early would be more relaxed because they would not have to experience the sadness of the departure of important people.

Then she whispered, "It turns out we're almost at the age where we have to think about these things."

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes reflected the setting sun and the sea.

Was she too happy? She seemed to be drowning in the comfort of a hot spring, subconsciously not wanting to think about the future.

However, they are indeed thirty years old and have completed the most important third of their lives.

"Although you can't tell from the outside."

At the age of thirty, people are considered to be on their own feet and are striving for progress. At this age, they generally seldom think about life and the future, but their lives are moving too fast, and it seems that they will enter middle age and old age without noticing, which makes them feel emotional.

This feeling that could end at any moment made her eyes look a little unreal.

The end must be about to begin, she thought.

They stared at the sparkling waves for a long time.

That moment, that moment of silence.

They must all be real—

"Take my hand."

"Ah."

This must be an unforgettable season.

Yukinoshita Yukino held the cuddly bear in one hand and held his hand with the other, giving him a beautiful smile, and he smiled too.

His and her wishes have taken concrete form. Perhaps they are not completely consistent yet, but there are definitely similarities.

Before the setting sun sank into the sea, it left two shadows on the beach.

The two shadows stretched, swayed, approached, and finally, they were connected together.

In this real yet illusory world, they will continue to move forward hand in hand like this in the future.

We share each other's entire lives, with aspirations, likes, gratitude, dependence and support, and walk on our path together.

Well, maybe this is it—

Life under the snow.

*

Ninety-three years old.

Under the erosion of time, the flesh will become decayed, and any emotion will slowly fade and disappear.

Joy, sorrow, confusion, jealousy, envy, love, hatred, dissatisfaction, anger, relief, pain, rage, depression, success and failure, right and wrong, wealth... But among them, there must be something eternal and unchanging.

Yukinoshita Yukino sat on a rattan chair in the old house, looking at the dark TV in front of her. The screen reflected the figure of an old woman. She had white hair with a hairpin and wore a plain kimono. Her eyes were gentle and calm, and her back was still straight.

This is herself.

Ahh, it’s already this time.

She stared at the TV, which was not turned on.

Suddenly, the TV screen seemed to light up, and it was automatically playing a movie. It was the story of a young boy with colorful pictures. He was talented, famous at a young age, not bound by anyone, and achieved many arrogant and unrealistic things. He stood in the center of the world, surrounded by people, his eyes were as bright as the stars, and his name was recorded in history under the starry sky. When the day he died, women would shed tears, the whole country would bid him farewell, his name would appear in history books, and children would write his name in crooked handwriting on their notes.

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously turned her head to look at the old man beside her. He was so quiet and peaceful, quietly accompanying her as she grew old.

She was silent for a long time, then grabbed his withered hand.

Ask softly:

"Do you regret it?"

"Really? You're still so troublesome even when you're dying."

Qingye sighed, turned to look at the cherry blossoms outside the door, and gradually smiled.

"If I had to choose again, I would still do it."

"That's it."

Yukinoshita Yukino's hand gradually loosened.

"Ah."

At the moment her hand was about to fall, Qingye held her gradually cooling hand.

When she heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Qingye stared at her for a long time, and in a trance, he seemed to see again that night with the bright moon hanging high in the sky. That proud, awe-inspiring black-haired girl who dreamed of changing the world was looking down at him in the chaos of war. He was terrified, but couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He closed his eyes with her.

【Life Simulation Has Ended】

Volume Two

001. Hachina & Haruno: There's a cow! [Two-in-one]

Warm golden sunlight filtered through the glass window and silently poured onto the boy. Qingye opened his eyes blankly. His pupils reflected depth and wisdom, and the depths of his eyes were filled with traces of time. He sat up, his back bent, staring blankly at the room in front of him.

Where was this? He remembered that he seemed to have died together with Yukino...

Wait! Where's my spouse?

Qingye was suddenly startled, and at this moment, he heard a familiar voice.

【Start to summarize the second simulation】

Simulation...Reality...Heroine...

Qingye suddenly realized that his thoughts seemed to have flown to the distant past. Scenes flashed through his mind, and everything in his life seemed like a dream.

The boy fell silent. Gradually, a bright light began to flicker in his black eyes. His back straightened up, and his dreams and edge reappeared in his body, like a dead tree coming back to life in spring.

He jumped off the bed and moved his body freely. His waist and legs were no longer sore, and his expression was relaxed. Only when the body ages can one realize the beauty of youth.

But then again...isn't this simulation a bit too long?

He had lived there with Yukinoshita his entire life, and in the end, the boundary between reality and falsehood had become extremely close.

Qingye let out a light breath and picked up the teacup on the table, but subconsciously poured a cup of warm water instead, and the corners of his mouth twitched - it's summer now!

After drinking the water, he lay down again, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling with inexplicable thoughts. He had spent nearly his entire life in that world. Family, love, honor, dreams, career, the starlight of dreams blooming reflected in his eyes, there were too many things that made people nostalgic, but now all the evidence of his existence there had been erased, as if everything had lost its meaning.

No, that's not right. Someone will still remember it.

He remembered the characteristics of this simulation and suddenly smiled. The stern figure of the black-haired girl in his memory became more and more vivid. He called out the simulator.

[Second simulation statistics completed——]

Congratulations on achieving the following achievements: The Man of the Yukinoshita Family, Unwilling Bunshin, Minotaur God of War, Master Mr. Pan, and Chiba's Drunk Courage.

[The man of the Yukinoshita family: A person's life is short, but you are always with each other. ]

[Reluctant Literary Heart: You have the extraordinary literary talent to become a world master and a mentor to mankind, but you are willing to cut off your own future for her. Listen, your literary heart is beating unwillingly.

When writing, you have a certain chance to enter the "flow zone", which greatly improves your concentration; at the same time, you will gain the [Inspiration], [Confidence], and [Effortless] buffs.

Seeing this message, Qingye's mouth twitched. He had already dominated the Japanese literary world and won the Nobel Prize for Literature, yet he was still so self-conscious! It was not like he was going to lead the development of human civilization!

[Tauren War God: Your Tauren level has been upgraded! ]

Who are you calling a bullshit... He just took a deep breath and shut his mouth. Forget it, he won't bother with Tongzi anymore.

Master Pan: You have created eighty-three different styles of Pans in your lifetime. No one in this world knows panda dolls better than you.

[Chiba's Drunk Courage: To protect that fragile beauty, you roam the drinking circles around Chiba, and your control over facial expressions and eye contact is slightly improved.]

Qingye then checked the simulator.

Simulation Summary:

This is a fulfilling life.

You are already very satisfied.

[In this Sims, Yukinoshita Yukino is the person you are closest to. ]

[And the person you've been attracted to the most times is Yukinoshita Haruno. Throughout your life, you've had intimate contact with Haruno over three (??) times, yet Yukino has never discovered you. Your intelligence control surpasses even the CIA, and your concealment skills put even Samode to shame. If you compiled your counter-reconnaissance and counter-interrogation techniques into a book, MI6 would be willing to spend a full ten years to purchase it. Even looking at the entire history of mankind, you truly deserve the title of "Immortal Immorality."]

What does it mean?

What is this nonsense!

Qingye suddenly jumped up from the bed, his face hot and covered in sweat.

Atong continued to refresh the information without any emotion.

[Also, the person who peeped at you the most was Sawamura Eriri, more than three (??) times in total. When you were secretly bathing in the hot spring with Yukinoshita Haruno, she was separated from you by a curtain.]

Ghost story?

Is it a ghost story?

[You have unlocked a total of (???) CGs...]

[Final evaluation of this simulation: SS+]
