Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

"..."

Without hesitation, Ningzi stuck one foot out of the window, ready to land.

With the vigorous movement of her body, the medicine bottle in her pocket finally fell out before Ningzi could.

boom! ! !

It landed on the ground, it exploded, and the sound was quite loud, which brought Ningzi back to her senses.

"fraud…"

"No, even if I jump, I will still die as a human being."

Toyokawa Ningko returned to the doorway, her cheeks streaked with tears, yet she still smiled.

I glanced at the door again.

Toyokawa Ningko turned and left.

Chapter 126. A pretentious coward.

I never thought the world was so beautiful until I actually saw it clearly... Just kidding, actually it was until I started acting strangely.

"The world is so beautiful."

Vibrant colors fluttered past my eyes, only to vanish into the shadows in the next instant.

Ningzi walked down the stairs to the lobby, her legs feeling weak.

The legs seemed to want to throw her down and kill her.

But his hands defied his legs' will to die, clinging tightly to the railing and refusing to let go.

"Go and pick up the medicine."

"you're right."

The black wildcat standing at the bottom of the steps let out a deep male voice, a voice that Toyokawa Ningko hadn't heard for a whole week.

I still miss it, I guess.

The noise around her rose and fell, and Ningzi tried to get used to the sounds she hadn't heard for over a week, only to find that she could no longer blend in.

That's a bit of an exaggeration...

It wasn't this noisy before...

At most, one or two objects would occasionally appear and chat with Ningzi.

But now...

Toyokawa Ningko winced and raised her head. The stairs seemed endless; she felt like she had walked a lifetime from the third floor to the first.

Everything in sight, whether it's the stairs or the ceiling, is shamelessly greeting me—how enthusiastic!

"But I really don't want to see you again. It's terrible. I don't want to say hello."

A voice came from behind: "Then die."

"Uh-huh?"

A sharp pain shot through her lower back, as if something heavy had suddenly pushed her from behind, causing Ningzi to fall forward and plummet.

Ah, falling.

One of the primal fears that has existed since ancient times is that Ningzi is now falling, her feet leaving the stairs, watching helplessly as the first-floor floor gets closer and closer to her.

Haha, I'm going to die, my head is landing.

This was the first thought that popped into Toyokawa Ningko's mind, making her want to laugh a little, but the next thought made her unable to laugh.

Waaah, am I going to die?

"Oh no, what should I do? I don't want to die."

He fell to his death in a neglected corner, becoming a lonely corpse, utterly devoid of dignity and respect, like a stray dog ​​that died on the roadside.

"Xiao Ning!"

The lamp appeared where Ningzi was about to fall, effectively serving as a human cushion.

"Woo..."

The intimate contact between Ningzi and Deng caused their hearts to collide and squeeze, creating a pleasant arc.

"Xiao Ning, are you alright..."

Gao Songdeng sat on the ground with a pained expression, tightly hugging Ningzi in her arms.

"Little Lamp? You..."

Xiao Deng is a bad guy, Ningzi shouldn't pay attention to Xiao Deng.

But Xiaodeng saved Ningzi... so Xiaodeng isn't a bad guy.

If Xiaodeng isn't a bad guy, then it means Ningzi is the one with the problem.

If Ningzi has a problem, it means that everything she just thought was wrong... Of course I know it was all wrong, of course... How could my sister possibly be friends with Aine? That's too unrealistic.

At most, they've admitted they were wrong.

Why didn't Aine, like Hailing, immediately distinguish between Ningzi and Xiangzi?

Toyokawa Ningko did not reply; she took the lamp's hand, their fingers intertwined.

The delicate skin rubbed against the bandage on the lamp's finger, and the wound covered by the bandage emitted intense heat.

The problem is with me; I'm being too sensitive.

It was my fault; I overthought things.

Xiangzi and I are sisters, I shouldn't doubt her... Can a bond of sixteen years really be no match for a momentary misunderstanding? No, it's not because of this.

"Xiao Ning? Are you alright?"

Even if you landed on your own, shouldn't you be concerned about others first? Takamatsu Akari, you don't think you're so cool, do you...? Ah, you really are cool...

"Thank goodness, Xiaodeng, are you alright?"

Ningzi's right hand reached towards Takamatsu Akari's tailbone without her noticing, while her other hand rested on Akari's shoulder.

It looks like riding a horse.

The horse is a fine horse, but it's too docile.

"It's nothing, it hurts a little... but it should be alright, right?"

"..."

"Little Light..."

"What's wrong, Xiao Ning?"

Takamatsu gazed at Ningzi's face, having lost count of how many times their cheeks had been so close...

But compared to her past fragility and sickly pallor, Takamatsu Akari found a deep weariness on Toyokawa Ningko's cheeks this time.

It was an exhaustion that came from the heart and could not be concealed, and tear stains were faintly visible in that exhaustion.

"Xiao Ning?"

The lamp weakly inquired, but Ningzi ignored it and began talking to herself.

"I've been under a lot of pressure lately, I feel like everything is weighing me down... I've been feeling really bad since last Friday. Xiaodeng, I tend to overthink things, and sometimes I tend to exaggerate things, which is a terrible feeling, isn't it?"

"Yeah, Ning, it's okay. Everyone's like that sometimes."

“But… Xiaodeng…” Ningzi’s tone weakened a bit, “But, I’m more serious, really, when everything happens together, well, even the smallest things can cause me a lot of pain… We usually call this feeling ‘delicate and fussy,’ right?”

"certainly not!"

"Xiao Ning, we..."

Deng grabbed Ningzi's fidgety little hand behind her. This hand was strange; wherever it rubbed, it would hurt.

What did Gaosong Deng say next?

Toyokawa Ningko didn't know.

She simply sat on Takamatsu's waist, and as the words of the lamp swept over her like waves, she just sat there, not moving an inch.

A belief that can be easily changed is not a belief at all; it's just a fleeting passion.

Similarly, a disease that can be easily treated is not a disease at all.

So you, Takamatsu Akari, are really... high and mighty... always trying to save me, Toyokawa Neko, with your own power...?

How shameless! I'm not just talking about you, I'm talking about me too...

"Thank you, Little Lamp, I feel much better now."

It's fake; it's just a lie to deceive oneself and the lamp.

"That's much better... I just finished organizing the astronomy club and was about to come to the music room to find Ning... Where's Chihaya-san?"

"Ah, her? She's gone back, hasn't she?"

Ningzi rolled her eyes upwards, making a thinking motion.

Actually, I wasn't angry at all; my sister and Xiao Ai are both innocent.

Ningzi is just really, really, really dramatic and troublesome... She's already been through too much stress these past few days...

So why couldn't you tell Ningzi and Xiangzi apart? Don't blame me for making a mountain out of a molehill... Why couldn't you tell them apart?

The lamp is like this, Riki is like this, Nagasaki is like this too…

Tsk... but I was wrong too...

Will you forgive me, everyone I misunderstood?

Although I'll continue to nag and blame... after all, I seem to have become a little...

There were footsteps upstairs, the leaves outside the window were baring their teeth, and a dead snail was mourning itself in the window crack.

"It's become a little abnormal."

"what?"

"fine."

Ningzi freed her hands and gently gripped Gao Songdeng's neck:

"Little Lamp, do you still have the necklace from last time?"

"Here I am."

"I want to see you wear it, okay..."

Takamatsu thought Ningzi was just playing a prank on him when she pinched him, but she never expected it.

Is this really a joke?

Chapter 127. Toyokawa Neko wants to go home.

"The necklace is here!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes!"

Ningzi and Deng returned to the classroom, and Deng hurriedly pulled out the pet necklace from her "stone castle".

Collecting stones in the classroom and not being considered weird? You're lucky.

The necklace's metal plaque was engraved with the name "Toyokawa Ningko," signifying that the fool who wore this necklace would eventually return to the embrace of the person whose name was on it.

"Why does Xiao Ning want to see me wearing it?"

Although not opposed to it, Takamatsu felt something was off.

Would a normal person wear this? If it had a photo of the owner and pet on it, that would be one thing, but this has Toyokawa Ningko's name written on it.

"What? What are you hesitating about, Lamp? This is just a small request of mine, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not."

Ningzi smiled, rested her chin on her hands, and said no more.

"Hmm...okay, after all, it's a gift from Xiao Ning."
