After dinner at Asano's house, Minami Yuki didn't rush back to simulate. He supported his chin with both hands, rested his elbows on the dining table, and looked at Asano Nao across from him.
When Nao Asano leaned to the left, he stretched his head to the right. When Nao Asano leaned to the right, he stretched his head to the left. Finally, Nao Asano lowered his head. He put away his arms on the table, rested his chin on the table, and looked up at the face of the dark, socially phobic otaku girl in front of him from bottom to top.
Asano Nao couldn't stand the naked gaze and covered her face with the arm holding the bowl.
"This won't do, sister. What will you do if you have a child in the future?" Nan Youxi said with emotion, "Will sister be able to get along well with the child?"
Children? Minami Yuki's sudden words made Asano Nao blush. She wondered, why did they mention children? Was it a new form of verbal bullying
She carefully moved her arm down, like a gunner behind a trench, glanced quickly at her target, and ducked back behind cover.
What she saw on Nan Youxi's face was carelessness and some melancholy, and this question didn't seem to be a prank.
Can I get along well with my child? Nao Asano constructs imaginations in her mind, trying to foresee the future.
But…
I can't even rehearse it! I don't even have a husband, let alone children! I don't even have friends!
And..., she took another quick look at Nan Youxi.
If it's not his, it's better not to have it.
Thinking of this, her brain began to overload, and not just her cheeks, but her entire head became hot.
She couldn't help but think about the feasibility of this future. With her savings, could she really impress Yuuki? Maybe it would only be enough for a few days!
Minami Yuxi did not expect Asano Nao to answer her question. Seeing that she fell into silence, she did not urge her, but moved on to the next topic.
"Is sister's gift ready?" he asked.
Nao Asano woke up from her imagination. She looked at Minami Yuki, not knowing how to answer. She had been worrying for a whole day and couldn't think of a suitable gift.
If she told the truth, she was afraid that Nan Youxi would mistakenly think she was lazy. If she didn't tell the truth, she was afraid that Nan Youxi hated deception.
In this dilemma, her mind was frantically attacking, depleting, and abusing herself.
Her spirits, which had been high because of Nan Youxi's arrival, fell again because of this pointless consumption.
This spiritual decline caused by love made Nao Asano feel tired, tired and bored, bored of the things that made her tired. She wanted to drop everything and run back to the dark bedroom, so that she could find peace of mind.
"If you haven't thought about it yet, please help me fold a thousand paper cranes. I like them very much recently." said Minami Youxi.
This statement perfectly solved Asano Nao's problem. She was excited and nodded quickly: "Yes!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, sister. You can fold it in any shape. If you don't have any special paper, ordinary paper will do."
Minami Yuki had not been sure whether folding paper cranes was feasible before, but now that she had the successful experience of her beloved, she decided to let Asano Nao do the same.
"There is special paper." Nao Asano whispered.
"That's even better."
Minami Yuki played the guitar on the sofa for a while and then left Asano's house.
He was going to go back to his apartment, take a shower, and lie on his bed to enjoy the simulation.
This time I will definitely be able to achieve a perfect ending, so I can enjoy it with free simulation.
It was already dark. On the asphalt road, the street lights cast circles of light. He walked through them and arrived downstairs at the apartment.
The bright light in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment shone through the glass door, illuminating the front steps very clearly.
On the steps, a woman stood, rummaging through her handbag.
That was Ibuki Yuko's mother. The woman looked like she had drunk a lot of alcohol, and you could smell the alcohol from a few meters away. Every time she stood for a while, she would lose her balance, stagger a few times, and then find her balance again.
Nan Youxi took two steps and walked in front of the woman. The woman's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blank. She was not wearing a mask, and Nan Youxi finally saw her face clearly.
Although the years have made her face look a little haggard, it still can't hide her outstanding beauty. She has a baby face, if it weren't for the drunkenness that made her neglect her expression and reveal wrinkles on her forehead, Nan Youxi would have thought she was only in her twenties.
Nan Youxi had no good feelings towards this mother who spoke ill of her daughter and even beat her violently. He paid attention to the woman's appearance only because he was curious about Ibuki Yuko's appearance and wanted to make an inference through her mother.
Therefore, the probability that the woman in front of him is his mother-in-law increases.
Considering the relationship between her and me, I had no choice but to help. The woman was probably looking for the access card, which was used to enter and exit the apartment at night.
He walked to the door, swiped the card, opened the door, and looked back at the woman.
The woman understood Nan Youxi's hint and staggered into the door.
"Thanks."
Even when she was drunk, she never forgot to be polite to Nan Youxi, but when she was sober, she could not treat her daughter gently.
Forget it, just consider that she might be my future mother-in-law.
Nan Youxi grabbed her arm: "The elevator is on the other side."
"Eh? Is that so?" The woman rubbed her head, "I feel very dizzy."
"Come with me, what's your house number?" Nan Youxi pulled her towards the elevator.
There are a lot of bachelors and energetic teenagers in the apartment. Minami Youxi doesn't want her to be picked up by someone and affect her and Ibuki Yuko's reputation.
"1103." The woman mumbled the number without any hesitation.
Nan Youxi wondered if he would be able to get the bank card password at this time. So he had another burden on his shoulders: he had to protect his family's property.
On the way up in the elevator, the woman became more and more drunk. In a very short period of time, she went from standing, to leaning against the wall, and then to slumped on the ground.
After the elevator door opened, Nan Youxi had to put her arm on her shoulders and help her walk out.
When he arrived at the door of 1103, he pressed the doorbell.
The door opened a little slowly, but compared to Nao Asano, it was already fast.
Behind the door, Ibuki Yuko was standing aside. She was not wearing a mask, and her face was clearly revealed in front of Minami Youxi.
It was normal to have no covering on the face, but because the girl had worn a mask every time they met, and now she was not wearing it, Nan Youxi actually felt some pleasure of seeing the taboo parts.
It’s like we were wearing clothes when we met before, but now we’re not.
The girl also had a baby face, and her appearance was even more outstanding than her mother's, but her expression was very cold, and she looked at people with disgust.
She looked at Nan Youxi, and then at her mother who was being supported by Nan Youxi.
Going to the other side of her mother, she wanted to do the same as Minami Youxi, put her mother's arm on her shoulders and carry her to the bedroom.
But she was not tall enough, so she could only hold her mother's arm and move forward.
This apartment is larger than the one rented by Nan Youxi. It has an extra living room, and there are many stuffed dolls on the sofa in the living room.
Minami Yuxi took off her shoes, walked across the living room, and helped Ibuki Yuko help her mother to the bed in the bedroom.
The woman closed her eyes, took off her coat skillfully, and got into the quilt.
Minami Youxi looked at Ibuki Yuko and was about to explain the situation, but saw the girl draw the bedroom curtains, turn off the main lights, turn on the dim night light, walk straight out of the bedroom and close the bedroom door.
"… "
Nan Youxi looked at the drawn curtains and the closed bedroom door, then looked at the woman lying on the bed, and herself who was still in the room.
Ibuki Yuko, come back here! You must have misunderstood something! I was just sending your mother home! And how come you are so skilled!
