Nan Youxi temporarily stopped remembering the scene. He withdrew his attention from his memory, and those images and feelings no longer played.
This time the memory scene was not complicated, but it was extremely long, so long that he seemed to have entered Mayu's body and become a girl.
If sadness is maple leaves, in the memory scene, he is as if wrapped in a maple forest, the leaves hanging on the branches above his head are red, the dead leaves rustling under his feet are yellow, and the half-red and half-yellow fallen leaves are floating and rolling in front of his eyes.
The emotion is not strong, but it is long-lasting and endless.
Minami Yuki pulled his mind out of that feeling, looked at Xiao Yuki, and confirmed that he was Yuki, not Moyu. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling the conversation between Mayu and her friend in the memory scene, he understood the girl's obsession.
Want to go back to your childhood
This girl is indeed not normal.
He sighed again, afraid that Mayu's wish in the Sims would not come true this time.
What Mayu wants is simple, and in previous Sims, girls have achieved this goal, but this Sims is different.
In this simulation, he did not get married, nor was he close to Na Xi Ling Mei. The simulation text clearly recorded that he focused all his energy on painting and traveling, and his relationship with Na Xi Ling Mei was not as close as that in Mi Yue's simulation life.
This was a matter of course. Since he was not married, he could not be too close to Na Xi Ling Mei. In Mei Yue's simulated life, because of Mei Yue as his wife, he and Na Xi Ling were very restrained. Now, Mei Yue has also become a member of Na Xi Ling, and there is no one who can keep them restrained.
If he gets close to Na Xi Ling Mei, the final result will probably be that he will marry one of them and stay away from the others.
This result might be good, but he in Sims is unwilling to accept it, so he would rather alienate all of them.
The reason for unwillingness...
Nan Youxi had to face a reality.
He may already care about all of them, at least there are two of them he can't let go of, so he doesn't want to make a choice in the future.
Making choices is difficult, and choosing among the things you like is even more difficult. If you know that those who are left behind will be sad, making choices becomes a torment.
Nan Youxi raised her hand and tapped her forehead with her wrist.
He never thought that he would fall into such a situation one day. In his previous life, he had been a playboy. In this life, he wanted a complete and perfect relationship, so he abandoned some of the practices of his previous life.
It would be great if he could abandon all the practices of his previous life. In this case, after the life simulation with Nao, he would directly choose Nao and not make any further attempts.
Nao was already perfect enough, but Yuko, Reina, and Mitsuki who came after him were the bad habits he inherited from his previous life, never satisfied and never knowing when to stop.
Having tasted the sweet fruit of love called Nao, he wanted to devour more and more kinds of it. He had actually embarked on the path of his previous life.
Of course, backstab is also a big problem with this simulator.
But even if there was no dream movie, could he just choose one after trying many, as he had originally thought
What does it mean to look at hundreds of flowers and only pick one? Isn't it just like Poseidon coming ashore and finding a good girl to retire from the underworld
If you think about it this way, maybe everything was already destined when he traveled through time.
And there is this love simulator. Would you use this thing for a serious relationship
Nan Youxi's gaze towards the simulation interface became resentful.
The current situation was caused by the simulator. If it was just the dating simulator itself, he had to blame himself for provoking Naxi Lingmei. However, the dream movie and the VR glasses were not his fault. He was also deceived by the simulator.
He pressed the simulator's interface and shook it vigorously, and the translucent screen shook along with his movements.
Tell me, what do you want from me
The simulator certainly didn't respond to him.
He put his hand down. Although the simulator had problems, it was just a tool. He was just too greedy.
After this simulation, stop.
Moyu this time was better, she just wanted companionship, and she wasn't born yet. If the simulation continued, it would be even more troublesome if another woman was inexplicably provoked like the time with Miyuki.
If you want a perfect relationship, you still have to love one person. Maybe it’s not too late now.
Nao, Yuko, Reina, Kazumi and Mitsuki can also have a happy future.
By the way, if Moyu completes the simulation this time and gets the dream movie, how should it be released? Moyu hasn't been born yet.
After worrying for a while, Nan Youxi smiled to herself. This was something that she didn't need to worry about at all, because this simulation would not be perfect.
Back to the original question, it is impossible for him in this simulation to have Mayu accompany him. Since he has already left Uta Island, it is impossible for him to go back, whether it is to the geographical Uta Island or the Uta Island in his heart.
In this simulation, Moyu didn't have many problems, but he did have some big problems.
In the Sims, he would rather give up than make a choice. He wants a perfect relationship, but he also doesn't want to abandon the other two, three, or four or five people he cares about.
Looking at herself in the Sims, Nan Youxi, who was lying on the bed, felt that it was not appropriate.
With such thoughts in his future, it is impossible for him to let Mayu accompany him, because once he chooses to stay with Mayu, it means that he has truly given up on Naxi Reimi.
A relationship is just a form of companionship. With Moyu's company, he no longer has any reason to be in a relationship. He can't do this.
However, these are just Nan Youxi's guesses. He looked at the simulation interface, closed his eyes, and continued to experience the dream scene.
He felt a little pity for Moyou, who could realize her wishes in other simulations, but could not be with him in the real simulation that belonged to her.
He thought that the package sent to Mayu by his Sims self should contain those three things.
This is a decisive reply to the girl.
His eyes fell into darkness, and then the light blue sky and dark blue water appeared. The memory scene continued.
…
It takes less than an hour to take a boat from Sakurajima to Utajima. Moreover, the boat does not depart at any time. If you miss one, you will have to wait for more than half an hour.
Maou was lucky, there was a boat at the pier and it set off quickly.
If there was no boat, she could only take a very expensive motorboat back. The motorboat was small and the seats were very hard. The wind blew directly on her face when driving, which was very uncomfortable.
A whistle startled the tide, and the ferry left the dock and headed for the boundless sea. Moyu sat by the window, looking at the blue sea.
The bright sunshine sprinkled on the waves, flashing streaks of light. Seabirds were circling in the sea close to the land, making clear chirping sounds.
On the surface, the sea appears peaceful and tranquil; however, the surging tides at the bottom of the sea cannot be ignored.
Mayu tried her best to focus on the waves and not think about the darkness at the bottom of the sea. She hoped that the boat would not arrive so quickly. She thought, it would be good if she missed the boat. Although the motorboat was faster, her thoughts would not be so clear in the strong wind of the motorboat.
The ferry reached the shore and she stepped onto the dock, walking slowly at first and then gradually quickening her pace. When she reached the uphill slope, she almost ran.
She arrived home ten minutes before the courier.
"Please stamp here." The courier was a 30-year-old woman with a festive look and a smile on her face. She and another person were responsible for the entire Ge Island and were acquaintances of the residents of Ge Island.
Normally, Moyu would have chatted with her, but today she was not in the mood for that.
She stamped the Asagiri family seal on the delivery note and took the package.
There were four items in the package, three large rectangular items and one square item slightly larger than a palm, each packed in a cardboard box.
Moyu placed the four packages on the low table. She took out a knife and carefully cut the tape on the box.
She first opened the large rectangular cardboard box.
Opening the box and taking out the stuffing, she saw a picture.
It was a one-meter-long painting.
Seeing the painting, the girl smiled.
The location in the painting is the living room where she is now.
The sky outside the yard was full of stars, and the star shadows on the sea surface formed ripples of light. In the center of the picture, behind the cake with candles on the low table, a girl clasped her hands together with a smile on her lips.
The painting has been framed, and Mayu reaches out her hand and touches the girl in the painting through the glass frame.
The candlelight made the girl's cheeks slightly red. She closed her eyes so her pupils could not be seen, but Moyu felt that the starry sky was the girl's eyes.
This is me, she thought.
I'm so pretty, she thought again.
After Yuuki left, she also thought about me. She finally thought.
The dark tide on the seabed that cast a shadow on her on the ferry stopped. She placed her hands on the glass in front of the painting, slowly leaned down, and put her face against the painting.
The glass was slightly cool, and the night was also slightly cool that day.
She lay down for a while, then excitedly went to open the remaining three packages, but she soon regretted her decision.
The second painting is a standard portrait of a girl in a white dress.
That was a life-size painting that Yuki drew for her when she was a child, before she left Misaki.
This painting should have been given to her when she left Misaki, but Yuuki didn't.
Her high spirits quickly dropped; she didn't want the painting.
Because the girl in the painting should stay with Yuki.
She stared at the painting for a while, then turned her attention to the remaining two packages. As she expected, the remaining painting was a painting of her as a child wearing a maid outfit and tidying up the closet. This painting should have been hung in Yuki's tea room.
What was the last one? Her fingers holding the knife trembled slightly, and when she cut the last package, the sharp tip of the knife almost cut her palm.
Inside the package was a blue lunch box.
It was the lunch box she gave to Yuuki when he left Uta Island. After Yuuki got off the plane, he said he wanted to send the lunch box to her, but she refused and asked Yuuki to keep it with her.
Now, the lunch box has been sent back.
So that's it.
Mayu put down the knife and let her palm fall to the ground. She turned her head and looked at the distant sky and sea that Yuki often gazed at.
This, she thought, was Yuuki's response.
She thought again, she would also give her own response.
[The package you gave her was your rejection letter. ]
[Moyou had already guessed your response, but she didn't expect it to be so decisive and lacking in warmth.]
[You think you can't be as indecisive as Nao, Yuko, and Reina were at that time.]
[You know that Moyu just wants to accompany you, but, regardless of whether this companionship will have any emotional changes, this companionship itself is not what you want. You think that the warmth of companionship you felt in Utajima is actually the impression you inherited from Na Xiling.]
[Do you think that the girl who was clearly rejected by you would give up her obsession? ]
[You don't know, your action actually made her clear about one thing. ]
[You know yourself well enough, but Moyu also knows something, and what she knows is exactly the part you deliberately avoid. ]
[After you delivered those packages, Moyou stopped sending you LINE messages. You looked at the quiet chat interface, feeling a little relieved, but also a little lonely.]
[During the New Year, you went to Misaki, to Asano's house, and saw Naxi Reimi. They treated you normally, and you were like good friends.]
[You have seen all the famous scenery, and most of the scenery that moved you has been included in your paintings. ]
[Two years after you sent the package to Mayu, you came back from the moon and painted a landscape painting of space, ending your field trip.]
[You returned to Misaki.]
[Your landscape paintings have been highly praised by the industry. Artists, critics, collectors, and arty people all want to meet you.]
[You have been awarded a medal by the royal family for your outstanding achievements in painting.]
[These reputations cannot arouse your interest. ]
[After a week of rest at Misaki's house, you headed to your painting studio. ]
[At this point, your studio is no longer that small villa. You have a small team under you who are responsible for your schedule and business operations. ]
[In the studio, you met someone who surprised you.]
[That is Asagiri Mayu.]
"…?"
Can this continue
Looking at the simulated text, Minami Youxi scratched his head, marveling at Mayu's persistence.
But it was no use. If he in the Sims wanted companionship, he could go find Nao, Yuko, Reina, or Nimi. He decided to live alone because he was tired, exhausted, and scared of himself.
Although this is a bit cruel for Moyu, the girl cannot do what Naxi Lingmei cannot do.
The Sims has made up his mind.
What made Nan Youxi curious was what kind of part the simulated text mentioned, that Moyu understood him better than he did.
If there is a change in the plot, it should be in that part.
He thought hard for a while but couldn't guess it.
He felt it was irrelevant, whatever that part was, it shouldn't affect him as a Sim.
The premise is that Moyu doesn't do anything shocking.
Such a well-behaved girl wouldn't do anything earth-shattering, right
For example, he stabbed Naxi Lingmei and held his head and rowed to Uta Island.
