Nan Youxi looked down at Ibuki Yuko. The girl's petite body was pressed tightly against him, her slender arms tightly wrapped around his waist. The girl raised her head, her doll-like face facing him with no expression, only two mysterious eyes flashing with the moonlight from the sky.
The memories and feelings in Nan Youxi's mind quickly revived. Thinking of the experience in the free simulation, he couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek.
He quickly suppressed the frivolous move.
It's not the right time yet. If romance is a singing competition, then it is still in the audition stage and we cannot hastily select the champion and give out the trophy.
"Don't plan to jump," he said to the girl.
After he said this, he was confused.
He thought that ignoring the truck together with Ibuki Yuko during the summer vacation was the key. Simply wishing to die or simply accompanying the girl was useless.
The green truck rushing towards them under the dazzling summer sun shrouded them in the same shadow of death. With the help of the power of death, his existence briefly invaded Ibuki Yuko's tightly closed heart, leaving a clear mark there, which attracted the girl's attention to him.
Now, he had to doubt himself. He was just standing by the river, but he attracted the same attention from the girl as he did from the truck.
Is it okay as long as you are on the verge of death
He quickly dismissed the idea.
It's not enough to just be on the verge of death. Over the years, Ibuki Yuko must have seen other people standing by the river, but she had never thrown herself into someone's arms like this.
Why did Yuko Ibuki make such an unusual move this time
Nan Youxi's brows were furrowed, and her brain was working at high speed.
Is it because of his beauty? No, the doll girl who is not afraid of death is not so superficial. Although his beauty is indeed second to none.
Was it because of his company? No, he had only been pestering the girl for a few days. Given the girl's looks, he must have pestered her many times.
He looked at the girl in front of him, who was still holding his arm. This was also different from the Sims, where the girl would leave quickly after saving him.
"Really?" Ibuki Yuko's clear voice rippled on the river.
She let go of Nan Youxi's waist, took a step back, and gently clenched her hanging hands.
Her eyes never left Minami Yuki's cheek. She had been following the boy, fearing that the world-weary boy who didn't dodge trucks in his dream would meet with an accident beforehand. After the boy and Chishou Kazumi left on the subway, she didn't bring her subway card, so she couldn't follow them and could only wait at the subway entrance.
Finally, she waited for the boy to come back, but he went straight to the river.
In the dream, the boy didn't stop and try to end his life until summer vacation and when he encountered the truck.
She thought that this time the boy might just look at the river and not think about jumping in, or rather, not choose to jump in. To be on the safe side, she should act according to the plot in the dream, wait until summer vacation, wait until the green vicious insect-like truck attacks, and then pounce on the boy.
However, she had no way to wait. She was not a good swimmer. With her small body, she couldn't save people even if she was a good swimmer. If Nan Youxi really jumped down, she would be helpless.
She couldn't gamble, so she could only run out and hug the boy by the river.
“…Really.” Nan Youxi placed his hand on Ibuki Yuko’s head. The girl’s soft hair brushed against his palm, causing an itchy feeling.
He was intentionally taking advantage of the girl, but he was also testing her at the same time. If it was a normal Ibuki Yuko, she would have pushed his hand away.
But the Ibuki Yuko in front of him didn't have that.
"Senior is acting a little strange today." He asked directly.
I'm under suspicion! It turns out that getting close now is a bad option!
Ways to divert the boy's attention quickly flashed through Ibuki Yuko's mind.
Just lift up the hem of your skirt to reveal the top of your black stockings...
She was frustrated by her current distance from Minami Yuki.
She chose not to answer the boy's question. Indifference was her previous appearance and it was also her disguise now.
"Let's go, go back to sleep." She grabbed Nan Youxi's hand and pulled him towards the apartment.
Walking beside the girl, Nan Youxi looked at the neck under her delicate cheek. The white swan neck wrapped in the light blue collar of the sailor suit reminded him of a white swan wandering on the water reflecting the blue sky. His heart beat faster.
The events of the night puzzled him, and he tried to find an explanation, but could not find one.
"Do you like paper cranes?" Ibuki Yuko suddenly asked.
"Senior, are you going to send me off?" Nan Youxi asked back.
"Can."
Nan Youxi was surprised by the girl's sudden proposal and promise.
Paper crane! Paper crane representing the number of simulations! What he wants most and lacks the most at the moment!
Since the girl has started to care about him, it means that the girl has feelings for him. If he gets a paper crane with feelings from the girl, he can get simulation times!
Ibuki Yuko has never given away a paper crane before, and she optimistically predicts that even if her paper crane cannot convert five simulations, she can at least have two or three!
Maybe I can get all the simulation times of Reina Nakajima from her!
"Why does Senior know about paper cranes?"
Rather than being excited about getting the paper crane, Minami Youxi was more curious about why she mentioned the paper crane.
"The last time I saw you, you were holding it in your hand." said Ibuki Yuko.
Is that so? He has indeed carried the paper crane bag several times recently.
Seeing that Minami Yuki had no doubts, Ibuki Yuko was a little proud. She had seen a lot of paper cranes in the boy's closet in her dream, and thinking of the paper cranes the boy had carried before, she concluded that the boy had been collecting paper cranes recently.
Did she get those paper cranes from Asano Nao? Damn you, you thieving cat! This time, she was going to replace all the paper cranes in the boy's closet with ones she made herself!
"I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." Ibuki Yuko said the completion time, "So you can't die."
She looked up at the moonlight. It was getting late and Honoka was going to finish her drink and go home.
She quickened her pace.
Nan Youxi followed behind her, allowing the petite senior to pull her arm and lead her forward.
Several office workers who came home late found the small one pulling the big one funny and heartwarming, and smiled happily.
Ibuki Yuko accompanied Minami Yuki all the way to his doorstep and waved goodbye to him.
Watching the girl's back disappear around the corner, Nan Youxi turned around and opened the apartment door.
He was even more puzzled. How could the girl lead him to the door of the apartment so accurately? Did he tell the girl which room he lived in? Or did the girl see him enter the room
The mystery of Nao Asano has not been solved yet, and now there is a new mystery: Yuko Ibuki.
Forget it, the most urgent thing is to ask Nakajima Yohei whether Nakajima Reina is his daughter.
If Ibuki Yuko wasn't playing a trick on him, he would get the simulation points tomorrow morning. He had to find clues about Nakajima Reina quickly, otherwise he would end up like when he simulated Asano Nao at the beginning, not seeing the person he was simulating from the beginning to the end.
