Stopping the memory scene, Nan Youxi rubbed her forehead and took a break.
This scene contained too many emotions, and his heart as a spectator was also affected by the memory and became melancholy.
Moreover, the hunger in his stomach affected his state and made it difficult for him to concentrate.
The refrigerator next to the bedroom door was empty. Apart from a large bottle of oolong tea, there was only a pineapple bun. He broke it in half, poured oolong tea on it, and sat on the bed to enjoy it.
Outside the window, the sun was high in the sky. On the phone screen, the time was already 9:27. He had been absent from class for an hour.
With the plot developing to this point, it is impossible to abandon the simulation and go to school, so I will just skip school today.
After finishing the pineapple bun, his stomach's protests were calmed, he washed his hands and lay back on the bed.
Without rushing to continue the experience, he first reviewed this experience of the Sims.
In the simulation, he is completely addicted to ACGN. He is 22 years old, has no formal job, stays at home with Nao Asano, and has a rather strained relationship with his parents and sister.
Is this life a Happy End, a Bad End, or a Normal End
Although Nao Asano is a stay-at-home mom, she is such a good woman. It would be great if she could overcome her social anxiety.
Nan Youxi looked at the simulator panel.
[You tell Minami Nao that your meeting was not an accident of fate, but your careful arrangement.]
Nan Youxi closed her eyes, and her eyelids blocked out the light. In the darkness, the memory scene unfolded.
In the dim room, the silhouettes of the couple merged. Nan Youxi's slightly hot palm slid up along his wife's cold arm and grabbed her shoulder.
The force from the shoulder made Minami Nao lose her balance and she fell onto the quilt.
The two people switched positions. Nan Youxi was on top, looking at his nervous wife. His wife's wet black hair was scattered on the bed, as if connected to the darkness.
"You've been spying on me since I moved in, right? The telescope in the study is used to watch me." He touched Minami Nao's face with his fingers.
The temperature from his fingertips rose, and his wife turned her head away, not daring to look at him.
"I've noticed your peeping a long time ago, so I did some investigation." His words gradually became cheerful and teasing, "What I didn't expect was that the perverted sister who was peeping at me was actually a beauty."
Minami Nao completely forgot about the confusion she had just experienced, and her mood fluctuated with Minami Yuki's words.
"At that time, I had just arrived in Misaki and accidentally made a fool of myself in school. I was laughed at by a few bad students and became autistic. I had no friends around me."
Nan Youxi stared at his wife under him. His wife turned her face away because of shyness, but slowly turned back because she cared about what he said.
"Sister, do you know why I came to Misaki?" He called his wife using a name that was no longer commonly used.
This word made Minami Nao feel so ashamed that she covered her face with her arms. A faint sound came from under her white and smooth arms.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted a rosy youth and a rosy love." Nan Youxi revealed the answer, "So, I went to my sister."
"Don't use that name anymore." Minami Nao protested softly, her face turning red.
She always believed that it was she who seduced this young boy whom she met by chance, dragged him into her dark and damp home, and into her gloomy and dark life.
Now, Nan Youxi told her that it was the boy who deliberately set a trap to capture her and break into her home.
"Although I was a little scared when I first met her because her sister looked like a watermelon worm, everything turned out to be exactly what I imagined. Rose, rosy, white, pink, yellow, all kinds of colors... all of them are available. It's a model relationship that wouldn't be out of place in a comic, right?"
These words, which sounded almost like a confession, made Minami Nao blush and her body feel hot.
But there was still a trace of worry in her heart.
She is used to self-reflection, used to belittling herself, used to labeling her life as dark and failed, and therefore feels guilty towards everyone involved in her life.
"As for Yuuki, even if it's not me, it can be someone else," she whispered.
"I don't think so. When I said I wanted to drop out of school, my sister just tried to persuade me a little, right? For so many years, she never told me to find a proper job. If it were another woman, she would definitely ask me to work hard outside, work overtime, curry favor with the powerful, and make money for her to spend and satisfy her face."
"I think Yuuki can find a woman who isn't like that."
Unexpectedly, Minami Nao was so stubborn, so Minami Yuki stood up. He pulled open the curtains, and the dim light from the street lamp outside the window shone on their bodies, casting a layer of luster on their skin. The light was not bright, but it was enough for them to see each other clearly.
He gently pulled away the arm that was covering Minami Nao's face, lowered his head, faced her tearful face, and stared into her eyes that were glistening with tears.
He thought, for all these years, in nights he didn't know and in corners he didn't see, Nao had been like this, feeling guilty and regretful again and again.
He revealed his true feelings: "I am very happy. I was very happy before and I am very happy now. When I submitted the marriage application, I was so happy that I wanted to jump like a child. I am sure of my happiness. I think my life with you is very perfect. If I were to choose again, I would still knock on your door and borrow comics from you."
In bed, Nan Youxi in reality was quite touched, but when she saw these words, she suddenly became angry.
Where are the memory scenes? Where are the memory scenes for children? Why do we only stuff sour memories into his head? Where are the happy memories for doing the real work later
[The next morning, with your encouragement, Asano Nao took the subway with you to the hospital, and she comforted her grandmother.]
[The old lady apologized to you again, you held her hand, said you didn't mind, and invited her to come to Ino County, your hometown, to spend New Year's Eve together. The old lady happily agreed.]
[You didn't discuss the New Year's Eve with your parents and planned to do it first and ask them later. Asano Nao decided to start special training for that day.]
[With your company and encouragement, Asano Nao stepped out of the house, first to the quiet park late at night, then to the sparsely populated streets at noon, and finally to the crowded shopping mall. As long as you are by her side, Asano Nao has no fear. You are her dream catcher, filtering out all nightmares. ]
[On New Year's Eve, you took Asano Nao's hand and knocked on the door of your old home with Asano's grandmother.]
[Parents and sister are surprised and happy. Everything goes well. At midnight, fireworks bloom outside the window. You and your wife put on your coats and go to the alley in front of the door to watch the bright lights on the dark winter night.]
[There are many pedestrians in the alley, many of whom you know, and they greet you and your wife. Your wife holds your hand tightly and talks to them with a smile.]
[The cold wind blows into your collar, she helps you put on your hat and leans on your shoulder. Your parents and sister look at your backs, they sigh and approve of Asano Nao.]
[On the first day of the new year, you will take Nao Asano to the shrine. Your mother takes out her treasured kimono, your father gives you a gorgeous belt, and your sister gives you a flower head. Your wife looks great in it. At the shrine, you meet friends from your hometown, and they praise Nao Asano's beauty. Nao Asano responds with a smile.]
[After the New Year, your parents told you that they hope you will stay in Ino County and stay with them, and also said that Grandma Asano could stay too.]
[Granny Asano didn't say anything, but her expression clearly showed that she wanted you to stay.]
[your choice…]
[1. Stay in Ino Prefecture; 2. Go back to Misaki City; 3. Go abroad; 4. Free simulation]
A long-lost option has appeared.
After hesitating for a moment, Minami Yuki chose option 2 and took Asano Nao back to Misaki City.
Option three can be skipped directly, as it mainly concerns whether to stay in Ino Prefecture or return to Misaki City.
Nan Youxi felt that going back to Misaki City and staying away from her parents was the right option.
It’s not that he is unfilial, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem since ancient times. What’s more, his parents’ approval of Nao Asano was very reluctant.
[While your wife was worried, you rejected your parents and boarded the train back home with her.]
[Soon after, Asano Nao became pregnant.]
[You and her are very happy, your parents are very happy, and Grandma Asano is also very happy. But you didn't notice that your wife's happiness was becoming more and more forced, and Nao Asano, who you have teased for your whole life, also deceived you once with her fake expression.]
Nan Youxi's heart skipped a beat; these words gave off a bad vibe.
Isn't going back to Misaki the right option? Asano Nao would be more relaxed if she chose to go back.
He suppressed his uneasiness and looked down.
[As the pregnancy progresses, you gradually realize that something is wrong. Your wife becomes quieter and quieter. You suddenly realize that for your sensitive and fragile wife, the stimulation of pregnancy, the hormonal changes during pregnancy, and the mental and physical pressure are all too heavy a burden.]
[You want to give up the child, but your wife insists on giving birth to the child. You dare not provoke her emotions, so you can only accompany her more carefully. ]
[Your child was born one day before the due date. The child was named Minami Rika, a name chosen by your wife, who hoped that your child would become a cheerful person. You handed the baby to your parents next to you and went to accompany your weak wife.]
[Giving birth ruined Nao Asano's health, and his wife has been a frequent visitor to the hospital ever since. The doctor said that his wife's physical weakness was not a big deal, and as long as she took good care of herself, her life would not be in danger.]
[On Liuhua's fifth birthday, your wife passed away. You questioned the doctor, who said she was suffering from depression.]
[You don't understand. You've been at home with her and the children, so why is she still depressed? What is she depressed about? ]
[Looking at Rikka beside you, you understand. ]
[You entrusted Rikka to your parents, and took the savings left by your wife and invested in the business. ]
[Your business is growing bigger and bigger, and you set up a company under your wife's name. You rarely go home to see your daughter, and you feel pain both because of her and because she looks just like your wife.]
[On the 16th anniversary of your wife's death, you sold the company and divided the large sum of money among Asano's grandmother, your parents, and Rikka. You applied for a death by injection in Switzerland, and your ashes were buried with your wife in the basement of Asano's house. The house had fallen into disrepair and she could not step out, but you chose to step in. The house that held all the memories of you and her became your tombstone.]
[Simulation ends]
