I think I might want to ask that question again.

"Sister, will you leave Ningzi?"

"No, I won't abandon Ningzi."

"Really? Or are you just trying to comfort me?"

"It's true, I wouldn't lie to Ningzi."

We'll be sisters for life. We promised to be sisters for life, and I won't break my promise.

Xiangzi lay down, facing her younger sister, her voice soft and gentle.

After all, the person talking to her was the most precious thing in her life, so it was only right to give Ningzi as much patience and care as possible.

If she had to give up everything for Ningzi… even if it meant becoming a mindless zombie, driving a big truck and delivering goods from dawn till dusk every day… as long as her sister was still alive, she could grit her teeth and keep living.

"Xiangzi..."

I feel guilty for constantly causing trouble for Xiangzi, but this is the reality: a terrible illness and helpless treatment... Oh well, maybe reality is just mutual torment that eventually leads to everything collapsing.

Actually, dying together isn't necessarily a bad ending.

"I'm sorry, I've been causing Xiangzi a lot of trouble all this time..."

"It's okay, we still have each other."

"Each other... But, sister, treating my mental illness is very expensive, isn't it? The medication is very pricey, isn't it?"

The thought that she had actually taken seven or eight pills suddenly made Ningzi feel a little embarrassed to talk about it.

If a bottle of medicine costs several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, wouldn't Xiangzi's financial burden increase even more...?

If I weren't here, would my older sister, a high school student, have enough money to do what she likes while struggling with life?

My sister really loved bands, loved the piano, and loved her former bandmates. Her passion for music had never waned since childhood, but now she's buried it all...

Furthermore, they were forced to sever ties with past friends.

How much responsibility should I bear in this? If it weren't for me, my mother would have…

I really should die.

Ningzi greedily held Xiangzi's hands, savoring every moment of their intertwined fingers, because she didn't know when she would have the courage to die again.

Before that, please let me enjoy everything about Xiangzi a little longer.

I long to be like this, holding hands with Xiangzi for a lifetime.

"Ning, why are you crying?"

The bed is small, or rather, very cramped. Even two people with very small living spaces would feel cramped lying here.

The distance between Ningzi and Xiangzi was so small that, under the dim lamplight, no little expression of Ningzi's could escape Xiangzi's eyes.

"No, I was just thinking, I'm not mentally ill, would our lives be better... would they be better, sister?"

The answer is yes, and anyone who denies this is lying! Xiangzi, would you lie to me, lie to your own sister…?

"Maybe, but no matter what kind of Ningzi she is, Xiangzi will like her. To be honest, Xiangzi will not regret it for Ningzi."

"Really? Even if I'm annoying, I'll ask you the same question every day... Although I've asked it every day in the past, I'm really concerned about whether my sister still likes me... I really care... Am I annoying? Would it be better without me?"

"I'll break down without Ningzi. There's nothing I can't ask, and haven't I been answering Ningzi's questions every day? Ningzi can ask me anything for the rest of her life. I'll keep listening attentively and keep answering Ningzi's questions."

"Anyway, my favorite will always be Xiao Ning."

The blue strands of hair were mixed together, weaving into a chaotic yet beautiful pattern, making the twins almost stick together.

Ningzi could hear Xiangzi's heartbeat through the air.

"I like Xiao Xiang the most too! I like him the most! I like you the most, I like you the most!"

I like this even more than I like Deng, Hailing, Lixi, and Aine!

I truly want to spend my whole life with Xiangzi!

After death, the ashes mixed together aren't enough; something needs to be added to make a decoration!

I need to ask Mu to help me throw it into the wishing well, so that Xiangzi and Ningzi can be together in their next life!

With their four legs intertwined, the distance between them was almost zero. Ningzi thought the happiest moment in the world was falling asleep at night while holding her soft and sweet older sister.

Bliss!

Two teddy bears leaned against Ningzi's back. One was very large but covered in patches, while the other was small and delicate, like a newlywed bride.

Teddy bears snuggling together symbolize happiness and peace.

perhaps.

When Xiangzi fell asleep, it seemed that no one in the room was awake anymore, with only the sound of even breathing surrounding them.

Toyokawa Ningko suddenly opened her eyes.

His amber eyes shone brightly under the lamplight.

There wasn't a single impurity in those eyes.

"Really, will you always love me?"

Toyokawa Ningko wasn't very convinced.

Chapter 60. How to understand a person

Anyway, my favorite will always be Xiao Ning.

This is a complete and utter lie.

If you truly love someone the most, why would you love someone else? If you truly love someone the most, why not offer them your purest love?

Why are you still interested in other people? Is it because I'm not attractive enough to you?

Tuesday, boring class, boring life, so boring, so boring, so boring.

What do we do in class? We listen to the lecture; of course, that's what we should do.

But playing with Dengdeng's hair and daydreaming are his main activities.

The teacher's gaze is on you; at this moment, what you need is to outwit and outmaneuver the teacher.

Toyokawa Ningko pretended to take notes with a black pen, writing in the notebook that Takamatsu Akari had given her:

I'm disgusting.

I'm disgusting. I doubt other people's sincerity towards me, even if they've tried their best to meet my needs, even if their affection for each other is just friendly, even if I'm not faithful to anyone, yet I still only blame them and think: "She doesn't love me enough."

Perhaps I have always been despicable. Someone as despicable as me should live alone in a cave and never come out to harm others.

Ningzi felt her desire for love was rising again, but for now, it was still within a controllable threshold.

It's under control now... but who knows which bad day it might come and ruin her beautiful mental state.

Well, what's done is done. Let's take the medicine first.

Ningzi opened the medicine jar, picked out a pill with her fingers, and put it in her mouth to chew.

I took two pills this time...it was so bitter.

But upon closer inspection, it does seem to have a slightly sweet taste.

Should I not have taken this stuff? Because before I took it... or rather, before the second time I took this medicine, I was in a much healthier state.

But... swallowing this poison will make things much easier for me.

Blurring all boundaries, casting the soul high into the sky, from then on everything in the world is no longer unfamiliar... allowing the spirit to reach its ultimate bloom.

Mmm...so sweet, these pill crumbs are really sweet. Tasting them is like Chihaya Aine's alluring pink hair mixed with Hailin's black hair and Touhou's gray hair...the feeling of stuffing a handful into my mouth is like it's going to puncture my trachea...

The corpse was itchy.

Casting aside all her worries, Ningzi wrote in her notebook:

[From now on, take less medicine. It's not a good thing...maybe it used to be, but it's not anymore.]

The pen tip spun, leaving black ink lines on the lined paper, forming words and sentences while leaving behind strange lines.

"what?"

On the notebook, there is an extra line that is neither straight nor straight, because it is both straight and curved, and has a feature that should not be seen on a straight line.

Ningzi couldn't remember when she had drawn this line; it seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Sigh, I'm already hallucinating right after taking the medicine. This medicine is really effective; it works fast and is guaranteed to work."

It seems that in the future, we can use it as a button to escape from the human world.

Ningzi tried to raise her head, and sure enough, the clear, slightly sickly line followed her gaze.

Looks like he's messed up his brain again this time.

This thing is so annoying...

Like a python roaming the desert at night, it coiled around Ningzi's neck.

Ningzi tried to distract herself by playing with Dengdeng's hair; the lines between the gray strands were not very clear, giving the impression that they were about to dissipate.

"rather…"

Even though Ningzi's hair had been pulled for over a week, Deng would still shyly call out Ningzi's name in a low voice every time she scratched it.

"Pay attention in class and don't get distracted."

"Oh…"

Ningzi straightened Dengdeng's head, which had been turned away, and continued to admire the gray penguin's feathers.

but…

That damn black line is still floating in front of me, and it seems to be refusing to leave.

Damn it, this thing is so annoying...

[If you're looking for something, cut it off...]

What I need is scissors.

Ningzi released the end of the lamp's hair with her right hand, slowly turned her head, and spread her gaze around.

Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it…

Ningzi noticed that there was a pair of scissors on the table of the red-haired girl sitting next to her.

"Ugh?!"

The girl felt the intense gaze on her side.

She knew it was from Toyokawa Ningko, the girl who lived across the hall from her.

This Toyokawa Ningko is a very formidable figure on campus. Her achievements are not limited to: on her first day after transferring to Haneoka, she easily captured the class's most beloved and adorable mascot, Takamatsu Akari, and played with her as a pet.

In the following days, they either shamelessly experienced all sorts of embarrassing games with Deng, or they skipped class together and went out to do who-knows-what.

All the classmates knew was that every time Takamatsu Akari returned, her face was flushed, her body trembled, and she was covered in the scent of Toyokawa Ningko…

Ah, why did Toyokawa-kun notice me? A random passerby whose name doesn't even appear in the book?

The red-haired lesbian's pupils contracted.

Could it be that I saw them playing with their little feet yesterday, and Toyokawa-kun found out?

I won't, but I'll become the other person's wings, right? I hope this happens soon! I've already mentally prepared myself!

A small ball of paper gently landed on her desk, and the red-haired girl unfolded it with trembling hands:

Honey, can I borrow your scissors for a moment?

"!!!"

Wow, don't call me "darling," it's like adding me to a menu!

The red-haired girl covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound. She observed the teacher's movements and seized a good opportunity to hand over the scissors.

Thank you.

Ningzi took the scissors and tentatively made a few cuts in the air.

It was completely unexpected that the black lines were not successfully removed.
