No one had pressed the doorbell for a long time, and the switch was very stiff. Nan Youxi exerted force with her fingers and finally pressed it.
Ding-
The voice rang out from behind the door, dispelling the silence in the room and the uneasiness in Nan Youxi's heart. Once he started to act, he would not waver easily.
[The door didn't open for a long time. Did Asano Nao not hear it? You know it's not the case because you just heard footsteps behind the door. ]
[Asano Nao is behind the door, observing you through the peephole. ]
[You pretend to be puzzled and press the doorbell again. Still no answer.]
Standing in front of the Asano family's door, Minami Yuxi's face was calm, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart.
I came over and rang the doorbell, and you dared not open the door. Are you pretending you're not home
He pressed the doorbell for the third time and felt the friction of the switch under his fingertips.
The door still didn't open.
Resisting the urge to break in, he sighed, turned around and left Asano's house.
[You retreated to advance, hiding next to Asano's house. Sure enough, three minutes later, Asano's door opened.]
Behind the door, a head wearing a knitted hat poked out and looked around.
Nao Asano moved carefully and looked around quickly. Behind the thick lenses of her glasses, her eyes were shining like those of a frightened rabbit.
Her neck suddenly froze because she saw Minami Yuki standing on the other side of the door.
Nao Asano tried to close the door in a panic, but forgot to retract her head, and her head was pinched between the door panel and the door frame.
"It hurts." She covered her head and squatted down.
No, now is not the time to worry about the pain!
She quickly raised her head and reached out to close the door again, but it was too late.
Nan Youxi stood in front of her.
The boy's familiar face was just above Nao Asano. The hand that often appeared in her dreams to comfort her, the slender, white hand with distinct knuckles, was firmly grasping the door handle, holding her lifeline and making it impossible for her to escape.
The weather was clear and the dazzling sun was hanging behind the boy's head, but the boy's face was more dazzling than the sun, and his eyes were hotter than the sun.
The young man, who had suffered the evil behavior of her not opening the door for a long time, did not look unhappy. He smiled slightly, very warmly.
But the warm sunlight is poison to the reptiles in damp places. Asano Nao lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Minami Yuxi or speak.
"You are at home after all." Nan Youxi said.
"I'm so sorry!" Nao Asano apologized immediately. This was the only sentence she could say smoothly.
"Hey, sister, why don't you open the door? Do you hate me?" Minami Yuxi looked at Nao Asano who was squatting on the ground, curled up in a small ball.
Nao Asano was wearing a brown knitted hat, a khaki sportswear, and black-framed glasses with thick lenses on her nose, so Minami Yuxi couldn't see her face at all.
However, judging from the curve between Nao Asano's chest and knees, she has a good figure.
"Sister?" Nao Asano repeated in a low voice, her heart beating violently, her cheeks burning, and even her ears were ripe.
She felt that she had no regrets in this life. If she died now, she could immediately become a Buddha and would never become a wandering ghost lingering in the human world because of her obsession.
"Are you listening to me, sister?"
"Yes." Nao Asano really wanted to answer Minami Yuki loudly, but her overheated brain and vocal cords that had not been used for a long time could only make a slight sound.
"So, sister didn't open the door because she hates me?" Nan Youxi asked.
Of course not! Asano Nao shouted in her heart. The boy's question was like a knife, piercing her heart. How could she hate him? What kind of unjust crime was this
She wanted to defend herself, but it took all her brain power to stay rational in front of the boy, and she was speechless.
She was anxious, and the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't open her mouth normally.
Finished! She realized that she had been silent for a long time. She lowered her head, and from her angle, she could only see the boy's feet.
The pair of feet in black sneakers kicked the ground, and two thumps struck Asano Nao's heart. Did the boy take her silence as a tacit agreement
She was hopeless. In this despair, she felt at ease. She was just that kind of person anyway. It didn't matter. If Nan Youxi misunderstood her or disliked her, she didn't need to worry or be anxious. This was her secret to life.
At this time, Nan Youxi's voice came: "Since sister doesn't say anything, it proves that you don't hate me, right?"
How did you come to that conclusion
Normally speaking, not speaking is the default behavior!
Wait, has the meaning of silence changed during these years of being secluded in my own home? In today's society, silence is considered a positive and proactive response
I mean, am I not hated now
She felt relieved by despair and nervous by hope.
"Um, what can I do for you?" Asano Nao tried her best to ask this question.
She suddenly thought of her current appearance. She was actually squatting on the ground and talking to Nan Youxi!
No, she has to stand up and behave like a normal person!
"I heard that my sister is a NEET."
The boy's words were like an arrow, piercing Asano Nao's already fragile heart. The ambition to stand up suddenly disappeared, and Asano Nao was unable to maintain her balance and sat down on the ground.
He knows that I'm a NEET. Now, I'm sure he will hate me!
She closed her eyes and wondered where her body should be buried.
"Since you're a NEET, you must have a lot of comics or games. Can you lend it to me? This is my student ID. I live in the apartment building behind." Nan Youxi squatted down and handed the ID to her.
Why do NEETs have to have lots of comics and games? You are too prejudiced against NEETs! The so-called NEETs are people who live off their parents. As people who live off their parents, how can they have a lot of money to buy comics and games
She did have a lot of comics and games, though, filling up an entire empty room.
"How about you lend me some comics or game cards? I have a handheld game console, but not a console. If sister can lend me a console and a monitor, that would be great."
Minami Yuki pretended to be a cheerful boy and asked for things from Asano Nao without any sense of distance.
This is his offensive strategy. He is not only professional as a prey, but also as a hunter!
Thinking back to the time when he was on Earth... Never mind, let's not talk about the past.
His plan this time is to pretend to be a handsome boy who likes ACGN. Because he is short of money, he goes to his neighbor, a NEET sister, to borrow spiritual food. After a few visits, they develop a relationship!
In fact, it is not a fake, he is indeed interested in ACGN and Nao Asano. Nao Asano is a high-quality woman recognized by the simulator, how high is her quality
Nao Asano calmed down a little. Instead, Minami Yuki's nonchalant attitude made her feel at ease.
She stood up by supporting herself on the floor.
"Please wait a moment." She said in a trembling voice and walked into the house holding on to the wall.
Minami Yuuki looked at the open door, hesitated for a moment, and did not follow in. The progress this time was already great, and there was no need to risk scaring Asano Nao by continuing to push forward.
[You borrowed comics and games from Asano Nao. Your attitude and expression made her feel relieved. She returned home and after struggling for a long time, she brought down a whole box of comics and a whole box of game cartridges.]
[You only asked for three comics and a game cartridge. Thanking Nao Asano, you headed to school.]
[The head teacher took you to the office to question you. You were late for two classes. You said you overslept, so the head teacher didn't ask any further questions.]
[Back to the classroom, you choose...]
[1. Read comics to cultivate your sentiments; 2. Steal a glance at female classmates to relieve hunger; 3. Sleep on the table to conserve your energy; 4. Free simulation]
Without rushing to make a choice, Nan Youxi rubbed her temples while lying on the bed.
In the memory scene just now, he seemed to feel what was in Asano Nao's heart.
Does the simulator have this function
Yes, if you can feel what is in the other person's heart, you can understand him/her better, which is helpful for examining the relationship.
However, only in reality, when he uses the simulator, can he feel Nao Asano's inner thoughts, but he cannot feel it in the simulation.
A socially anxious NEET sister. Minami Yuki smiled and seemed very interesting.
