"I want my brother to always be with me." The girl's eyes were serious and firm.
"That's impossible." Nan Youxi shook her head, "Moyou is already a big kid."
"Then I don't want to be Mayu, Yuuki, so just treat me as a strange high school girl!"
"But you are Moyu."
The girl said she didn't want to be "Moyu". In fact, when she heard Minami Youxi's words, the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a lot.
She herself was surprised at her own thoughts. She had clearly failed to get Yuxi to stay, the process had not moved forward at all, and the result did not exist. So why did she feel relieved
She thought it was because Yuki affirmed the existence of "Moyu", affirmed their previous relationship, and affirmed that she was still the same person she was ten years ago.
However, she wanted to continue living as a child, but Yuki didn't want to.
Thinking about it this way, she just didn't make any progress in the second half, but she was successful in the first half.
She leaned in Nan Youxi's arms. The familiar chest and warmth reminded her of her childhood, and her sadness and impatience temporarily dissipated.
At least at this moment, she returned to the past and found her past.
"I'll take Yuxi to the airport in a month," she said.
She accepted the reality that the man was going to leave, because she couldn't change the future. She thought back to when she was a child, when her father and mother pulled her away from Misaki. Now, this ending was going to happen again. She struggled, but couldn't change the future. She could only say goodbye politely and decently like she did when she was a child.
"Moyu." Minami Yuxi stroked the girl's hair.
"Um?"
"nothing."
The sunlight shines on the floor, reflecting a quiet atmosphere. The wind blows in from the yard, carrying a faint scent of the sea, blowing the girl's hair.
Nan Youxi patted the girl's head and said, "What's wrong? Why are you moving around so much?"
He looked at the girl's legs which kept changing positions. The roundness of her legs wrapped in slim jeans would shrink and stretch, with her left leg on top and then her right leg.
Mayu raised her head, her beautiful cheeks were flushed, and even the clear water in her eyes was covered with mist.
"I can't hold it back any longer," she said in a pitiful voice.
"Pour it on your body." Nan Youxi suggested.
"How could you do that!" The girl puffed up her cheeks, "Yuuki is such a pervert."
"You know you can't do this, why don't you go to the bathroom!" Nan Youxi pinched her face and pried open her arms that were wrapped around her waist.
"Yuuki, carry me."
"I think you're the pervert!"
"When I was a kid..."
"I don't know what you're going to say, but this never happened when I was a kid! You were such a scary role model back then, and you never caused me any trouble." Nan Youxi complained, "How come others are becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible, but you've become more naughty now that you've doubled your age?"
"Because the well-behaved Moyu can only leave with her parents." The girl said in a low voice.
Nan Youxi vaguely heard these words, but he pretended not to hear them clearly. He used force with his hands to push away the girl's body. He stood up first and then pulled the girl up.
"Can I continue to hug you when you come back?" Moyu looked at Nan Youxi's face. This was why she had been enduring.
"If you leak it on yourself, you definitely can't continue." Nan Youxi did not give a direct answer.
"Yuxi is right here, don't move." Moyu ran towards the porch. She took two big steps at first, and then changed into small steps.
Nan Youxi sat back on the cushion and watched the shadow of the girl on the porch disappear behind the wall.
A minute later, the empty girl came back and sat next to Nan Youxi.
Nan Youxi looked at her wet palms, water droplets hanging from her fingertips, the snowy color of her skin reflected in the tiny round beads, dyeing the transparent water pure white, like milk.
"Ah, Mr. Imagawa's bag was left here!" Mayu picked up the handbag, put it on the coffee table, and hurriedly sent a message to Rinka.
Minami Yuuki stared at the bag for a moment and pointed at the charm hanging from the zipper: "Does Moyu recognize this?"
"It looks familiar." The girl put down her phone, and Rinka said she would pick up the bag tomorrow.
She picked up the small sword pendant and looked at it carefully for a while: "It seems to be the sword that needs a lot of life to be drawn. It's the one that Yuki and I played with when we were young!"
Recalling the good memories of the past, Mayu and Yuuki laughed together.
[You discovered the camera left by Mayu. Compared to Nao's technique of hiding the camera, the girl was too immature. When Imagawa Mana asked you about your relationship with Mayu, you deliberately exposed all the lies and erased all the ambiguous appearances that connected you. You said this to the girl.]
[Moyu barges in and interrupts you.]
[She cooperated with Rinka to perfunctorily deal with and send Imagawa Mana away. ]
[You talked to Moyou and told her that you still treated her like the child you had ten years ago. This made her feel at ease. The waves in her heart turned into tiny ripples and she accepted the fact that you were leaving.]
[You wonder what the girl's feelings for you are. You want to ask her, but you are afraid that the answer you get will shake your heart.]
[After this day, your relationship returns to the way it was before, with the girl waking you up and preparing food, clothing, shelter and transportation for you.]
[Her birthday is getting closer.]
Looking at the simulated text, Nan Youxi rubbed his forehead.
If you only look at the text, you will feel that the plot twist and his insistence on leaving the Sims was a bit abrupt.
That's because the simulated text did not portray his inner feelings.
These feelings manifested themselves in the memory scenes, and Nan Youxi felt them very clearly.
That was the idea of giving up on collecting folk songs, giving up on returning to Misaki, settling down in Sakura Hill, on Uta Island, and living with the girl.
This feeling is different from the feeling Nao, Yuko and Reina had at that time. It is a more ordinary and warm feeling.
He thought that he was actually a person who hated loneliness, and traveling around to collect folk songs was not his vision. What he wanted was a future with someone to accompany him.
Closing her eyes and resting her head on the soft pillow, Nan Youxi recalled a previous memory scene.
It was the time we went hiking.
Moyou walked too fast, and he couldn't catch up, and fell behind the girl for a distance. The girl saw the opportunity, and when he lowered his head to look at the road, she climbed up the tree and hid her body in the tree canopy.
Unable to see the girl, he stood alone in the woods, feeling a sense of peace. This peace always accompanied him during his travels, like a loud sound without a sound. He had never realized it, or rather, ignored this feeling.
There was some loneliness in this calmness. In the past, he tried to hide and suppress this feeling, but this time, he was caught off guard and had no mental preparation for Moyu's departure. He opened the gates wide and loneliness rushed in, making him feel it clearly.
After finding Mayu, he breathed a sigh of relief, his loneliness dissipated, and the joy of having someone by his side rose up, weaving a feeling of happiness.
Maybe he hadn't noticed it in the simulation at that time, but Nan Youxi in reality had already discovered something was wrong in this memory scene.
He thought that Na Xiling in The Sims could not give him this kind of companionship. They were just ordinary friends. Na Xiling had the ability to accompany him, but once she had the companionship, their relationship would deteriorate.
The same may be true for Mayu.
Once he stays with the girl, he himself has no control over how his relationship with her will evolve.
This should be a feeling of kinship, but he and Mayu are not related by blood.
Tsk, what a hassle.
Nan Youxi thought again, since he had this feeling, would Na Xiling also have such sorrow
Oh yeah, there's also Mitsuki and Kazumi.
Maybe, he shouldn't be so stubborn? If he can't get the best and most perfect future, he should just give up on it...
we'll see.
He had previously had the idea of not falling in love with anyone, which led to this time the Sims became a single nobleman. Next time, as long as he has a different idea, he can get a different future.
Turning her eyes back to the simulation interface, Nan Youxi started to worry about Moyu again.
He thought that his Sims self had already made up his mind to leave, so there shouldn't be any accidents.
Is this future for him and Mayu a good one
He didn't know and couldn't guess.
[Moyou has given up the idea of keeping you and no longer says ambiguous words. Her feelings for you are pure, just like ten years ago. This is her true self. Before, she was just flattering you.]
[Now she likes to act like a spoiled child even more, and you can't refuse her straightforward request for intimacy. ]
[She likes to rest her head on your legs and let you touch her forehead. ]
[After removing the affectation, the feeling between you is purer, and your desire to stay is stronger, which makes you feel dangerous. ]
[It’s still a week until Moyu’s birthday. It’s the weekend, so Moyu doesn’t have to go to school. She stays by your side.]
Memory scenes emerge.
"You're awake, Yuuki. It's already 2077, and you've been in a coma for over fifty years."
Nan Youxi opened her eyes on the bed and saw the girl's serious face. Her small lips were gently opening and closing, and the tip of her cherry-colored tongue was faintly visible.
"Is that so? Thank you Grandma Moyu for the reminder." Nan Youxi pushed the girl's cheek away and sat up.
"I'm not a grandma!" Moyu said angrily.
"By 2077, you will be a grandmother, right?"
"Then I'm the grandma, and Yuuki is the grandpa. Huh? Suddenly there's no generation gap."
"I'm afraid I'm already in the soil. It's not a generation gap, it's a yin-yang gap."
“It won’t be buried in the ground.”
"Of course not, by then I had already..."
“I’ll keep it at home.”
Nan Youxi was speechless. He thought the girl was going to say that he would not die, but she was going to keep his ashes in her home.
"Be careful or I'll come out at night to scare you." He pressed the girl's head.
Moyu didn't say anything else. She handed the clothes to Nan Youxi and watched him put them on.
Nan Youxi thought she was joking, but in fact, she really thought so. In her computer's favorites, she kept some images of the evil resurrection ceremony using ashes from movies. She thought that when Youxi turned into ashes, she could give it a try. Nan Youxi, who was resurrected from the dead, would lose all his connections in society and belong to her completely.
After breakfast, the two sat together in the living room. The sound of the tide could be heard in the distance, the autumn colors were rich outside the window, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun cast a broad, refreshing light.
Moyu fell down and rested her head on Minami Youxi's legs.
"The weather is nice today, don't you want to go out and play?" Nan Youxi asked.
"Nothing fun."
"Where's Rinka?"
"I'm friends with her because she doesn't need me to accompany her everywhere all the time."
"So what do you do in your free time? Before I got here."
"Cleaning, farming, painting, cooking, playing some games, watching some movies, and..."
"what else?"
"Keep a diary."
"Does keeping a diary count?"
"It takes a long time to write a diary."
"A notebook?"
"It's not that elaborate."
Nan Youxi looked down at the girl. He didn’t know whether what the girl said was true or not. Had the girl really been staying at home before he came
Isn't it because of his arrival that you stay at home all day and have no contact with anyone except him
Moyu's attitude was also the reason why Minami Youxi was eager to leave. He once thought that as time passed, the girl would gradually lose her admiration for him and gradually move away from him.
It now appears that this expectation was completely wrong.
He didn't want the girl to rot around him.
He thought again, decay was just his definition, maybe to the girl, it was germination.
He then thought about the idea itself, which was a dangerous signal.
He was not sure what the girl was thinking. Even if he guessed it correctly, he could not determine whether she was right or not. Personal feelings are not necessarily correct, and it is common to regret one's past "correctness" in old age.
Let’s leave first. The girl is only seventeen years old. What can she know
He, on the other hand, should think carefully about himself.
It was November and the weather was cold. Moyu wore a thick skirt with warm white socks underneath.
After staring at the stockings for a while, Nan Youxi felt relieved that he did not have the urge to see Reina and Yuko's legs.
[The more you are with girls, the more you feel you should get out of here as soon as possible.]
[You think back to when you were young, and you felt that as long as both parties felt that there was no problem, then it didn’t matter what happened to them.]
[You think you were very immature at that time. Emotions are not such simple things. Like is disgust, closeness brings alienation, and sincerity breeds lies. You also think that if you were younger, you would definitely feel that you think too much and lose your passion and courage.]
[It was three days before Moyou's birthday, and she asked for leave from school to stay at home with you. You didn't scold her.]
[Finally, it’s the girl’s birthday.]
Another memory scene appeared.
The sky outside was completely dark. The starry sky was shining brightly above the dark blue sea. The starlight was reflected on the sea surface, and the sound of the waves seemed like the stars humming.
Minami Yuki and Mayu sat at a low table with cakes and simple meals on it.
The meal was not prepared by the girl, but was barbecued by Nan Youxi over a fire in the yard. He only knew how to cook with fire, which he learned in the wild.
"Rinhua is not coming?" asked Nan Youxi.
He actually already knew the answer.
"I was planning on telling her not to come, but she said before that she couldn't come," Moyu said honestly.
"Where are Saki and Hongyi?" Nan Youxi asked again.
After arriving at Utajima, except for a few words with Koichi on the first day, he never spoke to the Asagiri couple again.
Neither he nor the Asagiri couple are easy to talk to.
Of course, it could also be that he felt a little guilty and didn't dare to contact Moyu's parents.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he had not yet told Saki and Koichi that he was leaving.
"This should be the busiest time for mom and dad. It doesn't matter. Didn't we always celebrate birthdays with my brother before?" Moyu said with a smile.
