Nan Youxi lacked expectations about one thing. He thought he had figured it out. The dream movie was the mysterious reward. After all, when he got the mysterious reward for the first time, he only got the dream movie.
He did not count the VR glasses that demonstrated the free simulation experience as part of the mysterious reward, and by the time he realized this, it was already too late.
In the morning, he went to Asano's house and had breakfast with Nao. During their conversation, they accidentally talked about this house.
Asano's house is an old house. Although its basic functions are fine, it is already very old. The mottled walls and the floors that make noises when stepped on are all evidence of this. Minami Yuuki asked Asano Nao if she had any plans to renovate or rebuild the house.
Nao Asano nodded and said she wanted a small garden where she could put a lounge chair and lie on it to bask in the sun.
This sentence didn't sound like anything at first, but when Nan Youxi finished the jam bread on the plate and picked up the milk, she realized something was wrong.
Why would this socially anxious sister want a garden when she is afraid to even go out? A garden needs to be taken care of. And if she basks in the sun in the garden, she will be seen by passers-by.
Nan Youxi asked her what kind of flowers she liked, to test whether she wanted a garden because she loved flowers so much. She hesitated and couldn't name the flowers. This possibility was ruled out.
If you don’t like flowers and are afraid to go out and be seen by others, why do you want a small garden
Nan Youxi thought that the answer could not be found in reality, and the answer might be hidden in a dream movie.
Could it be...
Minami Yuki's mind flashed through the scene in the free simulation with Asano Nao. At the beginning of the free simulation, he was lying on a lounge chair in the garden to bask in the sun. Apart from this, the dream movie did not mention the garden.
The speculations that stemmed from this association were like a strong rope that tied around his neck, causing his breathing to stagnate and his heartbeat to speed up.
Could it be that Nao Asano also has memories of the free simulation scene
He thought of the VR glasses placed next to the seat in the dream screening room. Could it be that the VR glasses were not unique to him, but each simulated object had a copy
Could it be that the mysterious reward is not a dream movie, but a dream screening room, so the VR glasses in the screening room are also one of the rewards
In other words, Yuko and... Reina also have experiences and memories of free simulation
Nao and Yuko are fine, but as for Reina...
Minami Yuki's brain was trembling as she thought back to the question she had asked Reina in the free simulation.
It’s over, big crisis!
Is his plan of hiding in the dark, pretending that he knows nothing and letting them work hard about to be shattered
No, it is not certain yet that they all have the memory of free simulation. Maybe Asano Nao just saw the comic plot of a couple loving each other in a garden, and fell in love with the garden because of the beautiful pictures in the comic. She did not consider at all that the garden needed maintenance.
He quickly drank a whole glass of milk, with a new plan of confirmation in mind.
"Does sister have any moles on her body?" Nan Youxi asked.
Asano Nao blushed and shook her head.
Minami Yuxi knew this clearly. In the free simulation, he searched all over Asano Nao's body. This socially anxious older sister was a rare woman with a pure and flawless body.
He brought up this topic in order to turn the topic to himself.
He said, "I have one on me. Do you want to guess where it is? If you guess correctly, I will take you to take the subway tonight."
Subway? Nao Asano didn't know whether this was a reward or a punishment. When she thought of the subway, a large crowd of people appeared in her mind, and the eyes of the crowd made her feel uneasy.
But then she thought that she could take the subway with Yuki, go to a farther place, and hold hands for a longer time, so the panic and fear became trivial.
She thought back to the body she had seen through the VR glasses and asked, "On the back?"
"My sister actually guessed it right," Nan Youxi said with a distressed look, "Do you want to guess again? Is it the left side or the right side of the back? If you guess right, I will go to Xiaodou Mountain with my sister. If you guess wrong, I will deduct the previous reward."
Azukiyama? Asano Nao had never heard of this place name, but since it is a mountain, it must be possible to walk around for a long time, right? In many love comics, mountains at night are the place where relationships progress.
Maybe, she and Yuuki could become closer on the top of the mountain.
This trace of guilt was soon suppressed in her heart. She wanted a better future with Nan Youxi, and for this, she could let virtue be shamed. This shameful virtue was sacrificed for the greater virtue of love.
"The right side," she replied.
"Wrong." Nan Youxi snapped her fingers, "The previous reward is gone."
"Huh?" Nao Asano was stunned, and panic descended into her heart.
How could she be wrong? It was clearly below the right shoulder blade. She could see it clearly through the VR glasses!
Is there no reward for holding hands longer
"Isn't it on the right?"
"No, sister, do you want to take a look?" Nan Youxi stared at her face.
Nao Asano lowered her head, her eyes filled with a mixture of loss, confusion and regret.
Breakfast was over. She stood up, cleared the table, and walked to the kitchen with the dishes. Then she understood.
Her memory should not be wrong, most likely the boy was playing a trick on her!
Just now, she should have agreed, let the boy show his back, exposed his lies, and gained the right to climb the mountain!
However, if the time came again, would she really have the courage to look directly at the boy's naked back
If you use a camera, it's possible.
She was frustrated by her own cowardice.
She thought again that this riddle was unfair in the first place, as she already knew the answer in advance. Perhaps her emotions at this moment were God's punishment for her.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye, sister." In the living room, Nan Youxi picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the entrance.
"Have a safe trip." Nao Asano turned her head and looked at the boy who was leaving. The boy's back disappeared behind the wall of the corridor and the door of the living room closed.
The crisp sound of the door lock closing seemed to echo in Nao Asano's heart. She was the only one left in the room, and loneliness was spreading.
"correct."
The door suddenly opened again, and Nan Youxi poked her head in: "Actually, I guessed right just now. It's cold in the mountains, so remember to prepare clothes for the evening."
Before Asano Nao could react, the door closed again. The sound of the door lock was still crisp, like the sound of Kagura bells shaking during a shrine festival.
Asano Nao was overjoyed.
Nan Youxi was in a heavy mood.
Walking on the way to school, he looked in the direction of Chigusa University Hospital.
It has been confirmed that the mysterious reward includes VR glasses, and the questions he asked to Rena Nakajima in the free simulation will also be known to Rena Nakajima in reality.
Is the boat going to capsize
He was feeling uneasy.
Judging from the time, Rena Nakajima should have watched the dream movie, experienced the VR glasses, and woke up in the hospital bed.
