[Moyou heard a name from your mouth. This name surprised her, made her happy, and also made her a little sad.]
[She left your room.]
[The sun outside the window has set, and the moon is full, hanging on the top of the dark high-rise building in front, casting a faint light. ]
"…?"
Nan Youxi stretched out her hand and poked the simulation interface hard.
What about the name? Please write down clearly what I said!
Nan Youxi felt like ants were crawling in her chest.
He thought that there was something wrong with the recent texts, and things might not be as simple as he thought before. Whether it was him in the Sims or Moyu, they were hiding something.
He already knew what he had hidden, what he had thought about in this simulation, in this future. He just wasn't sure who it was, or who and who, or who and who and who...
This time, the Sims revealed a name in his sleep. Whose name was it? Why was there only one name? Why was Mayu both happy and sad
Whose name could make Mayu show such emotions
Is this name the person he likes most in this future? No, it should be one of the people he likes most.
If he only likes one person, he doesn't need to worry about it and be a bachelor. He chooses to keep his distance because he likes two or more people and can't have them all.
And the reason why he couldn't have them all... Nan Youxi thought of Mitsuki's several life simulations and he sighed.
Let’s continue watching the simulation.
[How many people did you dream about? How many people did you dream about? What each person looked like, you forgot about it the moment you woke up. You just felt like you had a wonderful dream.]
[What woke you up, or what you heard the first thing after waking up, was a low conversation between two people.]
[You didn't rush to open your eyes, you eavesdropped on their conversation. ]
[Two voices, one is lazy and the other is lively. You can quickly tell that the lively one is Mayu, and the lazy one... is Asagiri Mitsuki.]
[Why is Mitsuki in your house?]
[Only Moyu has the key to your house, which means it was Moyu who brought her here.]
Nan Youxi in real life is just as confused as Nan Youxi in The Sims.
He pulled up the simulation interface. In the simulation, before he woke up, Moyou was the only one in his house. Moyou listened to his dream talk, heard a name, and left his room.
Then, he woke up and Mitsuki was in the room.
"… "
Is it Mitsuki? It's actually Mitsuki
It is hard for Nan Youxi to imagine that although Mitsuki's simulation life has passed the 90-point line, and although the process is very tortuous, so tortuous that he completely accidentally untied the girl's heart knot, and although Mitsuki's feelings for him may not be inferior to Na Xiling's, but from his point of view, Mitsuki is the person with whom he has the least relationship at present, and the most unlikely person.
Maybe something happened in the future? After all, he and Mitsuki had only known each other for a few days, and it was inappropriate to use the current relationship to speculate about the future.
He continued to look down.
[These two women, both named Asagiri, are talking about your youth. Mitsuki is talking, and Mayu is listening.]
[You no longer have any recollection of many of the things Mitsuki said. You listened quietly, feeling guilty for having forgotten.]
[Gradually, you realize something is wrong. Mitsuki's words are getting more and more out of touch with reality. It turns out that it's not that you don't have any impression, but that she is making it up.]
[You think, she still likes to lie.]
[You moved your head slightly, preparing for your own awakening. They noticed your movements and stopped talking.]
[The ceiling is very familiar and very flat. You look at it for a while with pretended confused eyes, then sit up.]
[Moyou looks delighted. She greets you. Miyue is a little cold. She walks out the door and shouts downstairs that you have woken up.]
[Soon, a familiar figure walked into the room. On the tray she held was a bowl of sweet white porridge.]
[She is Nao Asano.]
"…?"
Why did Nao come out too? Nan Youxi frowned. He stared at the simulation interface, puzzled.
Nao was also brought by Mayu? In other words, the name he called out in the Sims could also be Nao
If it was Nao, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
[The dark wooden tray is placed on the light wooden bedside table, and Nao brings out the bowl of porridge for you.]
[You take the bowl, and the sound of drinking porridge can be heard in the quiet bedroom.]
[You haven't even touched the spoon yet, but the person who makes the sound of drinking porridge is the short person who just came in. ]
[Ibuki Yuko comes in with a small bowl. She drinks her porridge in small sips and waves to you.]
Looking at the simulated text, Nan Youxi rubbed his forehead, and his doubts deepened.
Why did Yuko show up
He clearly only said one name in The Sims, so why are Mitsuki, Nao, and Yuko all there
Who is he talking about? What is Mayu going to do
Since there are already three people, what about the remaining two
Nan Youxi continued to look at the simulated text, and sure enough, the remaining two people were also there.
[Looking at the four people in the room, you are very surprised. You look at the furnishings in the bedroom and make sure you are in your own home, not the Asano residence.]
[You thought of the remaining two people, quickly finished the hot porridge, and walked downstairs. ]
[Chizumi is in the restaurant, placing dishes from the kitchen on the table. She sees you and smiles. Her smile is the same as it was more than 20 years ago.]
[She points to the ground and tells you that Reina is down there.]
[You walked quickly to the basement and met the last one in the room where the paintings were kept.]
[Nakajima Reina stands in front of the wall, staring at the painting on your wall. ]
Memory scenes emerge.
The basement of the villa is soundproofed, so the noise from above cannot disturb the tranquility below. When building the basement, Nan Youxi originally planned to use it as her own studio.
Therefore, Nakajima Rena did not hear Mitsuki's call, she was staring at the painting in front of her.
Nan Youxi looked into her eyes, and her memory went back to when they first met.
At that time, Reina, who was still a young girl, always sat on the hospital bed, and she looked at the Azuki Mountain in the distance and the small garden below.
The same is true now.
Nan Youxi looked at the painting that Reina was staring at. It was Azuki Mountain, Azuki Mountain at night, hidden in the darkness with only its outline visible. It was an extremely cold Azuki Mountain.
"Do you like this one?" Nan Youxi walked to her side.
"I like this, this, and this." Reina stretched out her white fingers and pointed at three other paintings.
She turned to look at Minami Yuuki and smiled the same smile as Kazumi.
Nan Youxi looked at the paintings she ordered. One was a small garden, one was a corner of a park, and another was a pond in the sky.
"Don't you like this picture of Xiaodou Mountain?" he asked.
Minami Yuki was surprised that she could accurately express how she felt when she painted this picture.
"These are all paintings that Yuki collects, right? Can I let Nao and the others come down and take a look?" Reina asked Minami Yuki for her opinion.
The room is not big, and all four walls are covered with paintings. The strange thing is that the paintings that Reina said she liked are all next to each other. What is even stranger is that there is an empty space in the middle of the four walls that are filled with paintings at almost the same intervals.
"You came down to take a look before you thought of asking for my opinion?" Nan Youxi said.
Reina avoided his gaze guiltily and whispered in defense: "It was Mayu who found it. She told me that there were paintings down there that you had never shown before. I was really curious, so I came down to take a look."
She felt that putting the blame of seduction on Mayu would not erase her own guilt of being seduced, so she quickly fled out of the house and went upstairs to inform others.
After a while, Yukiko came down.
She walked around the room, looking at all the paintings, and then stopped at a certain place.
Nan Youxi pressed his temples and sighed inwardly. The reason why he had never shown these paintings to the outside world was because he didn't want Reina and the others to see them.
Since these paintings were completed, they have remained quietly in this room and have never been anywhere else. No one except him has ever seen them. He does not need the help of a part-time worker to clean the room, he does it himself.
He didn't expect that Mayu would find this place and tell Reina. Reina saw it herself and wanted to show it to Yuko and the others.
If he had found out when Mayu told Reina, he could have stopped them from entering, but now Reina had already seen the painting.
Since Reina has seen it, there is no point in hiding it from others.
Except for Yimei and the blank wall, the other paintings should not appear in reality. They should only exist in memories and dreams.
In addition to being memories, these paintings are also evidence of how he deceived Naxi Lingmei.
Nan Youxi looked at Yuko. The painting that Yuko was staring at was a crossroads in midsummer.
This painting is one that Nan Youxi is very proud of. He vividly depicts the scorching and twisted air in midsummer and the hideous appearance of the green pickup truck. In the painting, apart from the sky, the road and the buildings, there is only a truck, and this artistic conception also makes Nan Youxi feel very appropriate.
After looking at her own paintings, Yukiko looked at other people's paintings, and finally, she came to Minami Youxi.
Time has not left many traces on her. She still looks like a little girl, a sulking little girl.
She stammered, and finally said nothing. She raised her hand, touched Nan Youxi's butt hard, and walked out of the room.
Next up was Nao.
The moment she stepped into the room and saw the paintings, Nao stopped in her tracks. She was so frightened that she lowered her head and tried to retreat outside.
She didn't want to see those things because she felt that Nan Youxi didn't want her to see those things.
After she left, she returned to the room.
She thought of Yuki being right next to her, and this was something Yuki agreed to.
Her paintings are hung on the wall opposite the door.
She saw her own home, a renovated home with a small garden, completely different from the real thing.
She saw the snowy village, the village where her grandmother lived.
She also saw a portrait of her non-existent daughter, Miu Yoshihime.
She turned away and lowered her head, preventing Nan Youxi from seeing her face.
When her surging emotions calmed down, she raised her head and continued to look at the paintings on the wall.
Nan Youxi leaned against the empty wall and looked at her.
Nao spent much longer looking at the paintings than Yuko. When she turned around, her eyes were filled with reluctance. It was not because she had seen enough, she could never see enough of these paintings. She felt that it was time to give this exhibition room to Mitsuki and Kazumi.
Looking at Nan Youxi, she didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and hurried past.
Compared with Na Xiling, Meiyue is much more free and easy. She draws the least. She stared at her dream home for half a minute and then turned around.
"Why?" She smiled at Nan Youxi, "But we already knew about this."
She was comforting Nan Youxi.
After she left, Yimei came down anxiously. She found that all the people who had seen the paintings were in low spirits and thought that the place below was a den of dragons and tigers.
"Excuse me." She greeted Nan Youxi politely and walked into the room, between the paintings.
She looked at the landscapes, the houses, the portraits, and wondered what they represented.
Finally, she saw a familiar scene, which was definitely not pretty, a corner of Yuejianli Middle School. The cement floor was gray, with walls on three sides and an ordinary playground on one side.
It was here that she took a bold step.
She didn't expect to see such a painting here.
Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart was filled with pure joy, which was completely different from Naxi Lingmei.
She looked at other paintings and guessed that they were other people's memories. She didn't understand why Nai Xi Lingmei had so many memories of you. She was even more puzzled why Nai Xi Lingmei's emotions were so complicated when she saw such a happy thing.
Is it because everyone’s paintings are hung here
Thinking of this, her emotions became complicated.
She stared at her own painting for a long time. The painting was a fragment of memories. The beautiful impression she had at the time was reflected in her eyes and fell into her heart, making her unable to leave.
She wanted to ask Nan Youxi if she could buy the painting, but she also thought that the most beautiful painting of her would be the one of her next to Youxi.
Mayu came down and urged Yuuki and Kazumi to go upstairs to eat. Nao gave Yuuki a small amount of porridge, just to let him rest his stomach first.
She still had some thoughts. Like Yimei, she was confused as to why Naxi Lingmei showed such complicated emotions after seeing the painting.
Seeing the joy on Yimei's face and her bright eyes as if washed by a clear stream, Mayu felt relieved. This was the correct reaction!
She found this storage room while wandering around. Through some of the things Naxi Lingmei told her, she realized that some of these paintings were their memories, especially the one of Azukiyama, which was too obvious, so she asked Lingnai to come and take a look.
She didn't expect that these paintings were more than just memories.
"Let's go, it's time to eat." Moyu held Yimei's hand, and then held Minami Youxi's hand.
Nan Youxi did not dodge, and let Moyu's soft hand hold her slightly cold fingers.
In the restaurant, Nao, Yuko, Reina, and Mitsuki were already seated, and Minami Yuuki joined them, as well as Kazumi and Mayu.
"Come on, cheers!" Mayu raised her drink, "Cheers to our reunion!"
Seven glasses clinked together, the tapping time and strength of the tapping varying, so the sound was very uneven, but the crispness and clarity of the sound made all seven of them smile.
Mayu paid attention to the expressions of the diners, especially Minami Yuuki, and she made sure that Yuuki thought it was good.
She thought it was good too.
She thought of the name she heard from Yuuki in the evening.
That name is her, but it is not her.
