Mi Zhi Shi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Uh." Shirakawa Natsu realized that her hand was on her brother's chest. She wanted to pull it back, but then she thought that she had already grabbed it, so she rubbed it a couple more times.
The fact that the brother wasn't wearing a bra made it easier to get hands on him.
He looked around; they were in a rented apartment, which was also his and Miyuki's secret base.
What happened last night kept replaying in my mind.
"Wait a minute." Shirakawa Natsumi covered her head. "I kissed her last night. What happened after that?"
He looked at Miyuki: "Why am I here?"
“I don’t know.” Mi Zhi Shi shook her head: “Last night I received a call from a stranger who told me you were here. When I arrived, you were already in bed.”
"What happened?" Shirakawa Natsumi began to recall. He vaguely remembered that the atmosphere was even better yesterday, and he and Shana had a French kiss. She also cooperated by sticking out her tongue. After that, he couldn't remember anything.
"This is on your bedside table." Miyuki handed over a letter.
"No way!" Shirakawa Natsu's heart sank. She snatched the envelope, tore it open, and looked at the delicate handwriting on it.
"Let this letter conclude. Please forgive me."
"You must be feeling lost. I'm sorry, but I still can't forgive the person I like for having other women."
"I left directly because I was afraid that you would abandon everything for me, and then you would never forget Youcai in your heart."
"I originally wanted to say goodbye in person, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything."
"Don't come looking for me. What I hope for is that you can forget Shana soon, fulfill your wishes peacefully, and regain your health."
"I'm sorry, actually I'm a very weak person."
"The time I spend with you, whether it's snuggling together or feeling troubled, is the happiest time of my life."
"I'm sorry, I love you."
"Shana, stay."
At the very end of the envelope, there was a damp stain, the tears shed by the writer.
"Wow, ahhhhhh!" Shirakawa Natsu screamed, covering her face with her hands and falling backward onto the bed.
At that moment, a pair of hands hugged him from behind, holding him tightly in their arms.
"I will always be with you."
Shirakawa Natsu turned his head and buried his head in her arms; he cried.
A man doesn't easily shed tears, but he knew that if Shana didn't want him to find her, he would never find her.
He felt as if a large piece of his heart had been ripped out; he realized that he truly did love Jingu Nao.
From their first meeting at the hospital, he had grown accustomed to her positivity and initiative.
It's only when you lose something that you feel this heartache.
He lay in Miyuki's arms for a whole day, not wanting to eat or move.
In the evening, he returned to his apartment.
"You're back." Hashimoto Arina came out to greet him, and after seeing him, she paused for a moment: "Natsu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. By the way, where's Shana?" Shirakawa Natsu asked.
“Oh, she’s gone back to Japan.” Hashimoto Arina shook her head. “Last night she suddenly said there was something going on at home, so she packed her bags and left overnight.”
I also heard that she applied for a leave of absence from school.
Hashimoto Arina rested her chin on her hand: "It's such a pity that I finally made some good friends."
Shirakawa Natsu nodded. He wasn't surprised when Shana left. Seeing that Hashimoto Arina didn't seem very sad, he asked:
"Sister Cai, you don't seem too sad. You must be very sad if you never see your good friend again."
"Yes, it's a bit of a shame." Hashimoto Arina shook her head: "But there's nothing we can do about it. All relationships in the world are destined to end in separation. The only thing that can stay together is love."
"Besides, she's jumping around and seems to be in a good mood, so it's probably not a bad thing. Therefore, I have no right to say anything."
"I see." Shirakawa Natsu gave a wry smile; he had no right to criticize Shana.
She was that kind of girl, appearing suddenly, smiling innocently, loving wholeheartedly and directly, without any compromise or testing.
She's like a girl straight out of a manga; she is Nao Jingu.
"Arina, you must never leave me." Shirakawa Natsu suddenly hugged Hashimoto Arina.
Hashimoto Arina paused for a moment, then smiled and stroked his hair like a mother would: "Don't worry, I'll be with you."
"Mmm." The two hugged for a while longer.
That evening, Shirakawa Natsu went out and ran to Kimura Momo's house next door. Kinoshita Ren's matter was over, and it was time to deal with their matter as well.
Upon opening the door, I saw two women sitting together watching TV in the living room.
The elegant and luxurious one is the fox spirit.
The other girl was pretty, with one side of her long black hair braided into a row of braids, giving her a slightly mischievous look.
She held a bag of potato chips in her hand, stuffing them into her mouth as her long, slender legs, encased in black stockings, swayed back and forth.
Shirakawa Natsu stood there stunned, then rubbed her eyes, pinched her cheek, and felt a sharp pain.
I made sure I wasn't hallucinating.
He uttered in disbelief, "Kami... Nao Jingu?!"
The girl was not the mixed-race beauty Shana, but the Jingu Nao from his memories.
Jingu Nao turned around and smiled at him: "Natsu, want some potato chips?"
"What's going on!" Shirakawa Natsu stepped forward and grabbed her. It was a familiar touch; he had held her hand countless times.
The two walked hand in hand through the streets and alleys in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He took out the carefully preserved envelope, originally hoping to ask the fox, but he never expected her to appear in front of him so suddenly.
Jingu Nao casually picked up the envelope, pretended to read it, and said indifferently, "This is a letter from Shana saying she will never see you again. What does it have to do with me, Jingu Nao?"
"You!" Shirakawa Natsu felt like vomiting blood.
Just then, Jingu Nao suddenly leaned in and tapped his chest: "Now you know how much you love me?"
Chapter 290 Settlement Reward
"Nao!" Shirakawa Natsu's eyes instantly reddened, and he reached out to hug her.
Jingu Nao smiled mischievously, leaning back lightly to avoid his embrace.
Shirakawa Natsu was unwilling to give up. She took a step forward, wanting to continue the embrace, but Nao dodged her again.
"Sorry~ I won't hug Natsu." Jingu Nao tapped his forehead with her finger. "I'm really, really, really angry right now~"
Shirakawa Natsu smiled wryly; it was just as he had thought.
When Nao first confessed to him, she said that her heart could only hold one person, and that had never changed.
Kimura Momo, holding potato chips, shifted to a more comfortable position and looked over with interest.
"I won't give up. No matter where you go, I will find you." Shirakawa Natsumi had no choice but to feign helplessness.
Jingu Nao rolled her eyes dramatically: "I admit it, I like you, but even if we were together right now, I wouldn't be happy."
"Because the thought of 'not being able to be happy' will always linger in my mind."
"Youcai is in the dorm and keeps drawing your portrait. What kind of feelings are behind that smile?"
"Someone like me couldn't take you away from her. And she'll always be in your heart, won't she?"
After Nao finished speaking, she moved closer to Shirakawa Natsu and hugged his waist: "I don't have an answer, and I don't know how far you can go, but I want to try and wait and see."
"Because you love me, right?"
"Yes, I love you." Shirakawa Natsu lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Jingu Nao nimbly slipped out of his arms, put her hands behind her back, ran a distance away, and stuck her tongue out at him:
"Don't even think about touching me until you find the answer to this problem. You don't want Sister Youcai to find out about your affair, do you?"
"Isn't this a bit much?" Shirakawa Natsu was speechless. It seemed that the matter was resolved, but not completely.
"Hehehe~" Jingu Nao stuck out her tongue at him, turned around and skipped away to her room on the second floor: "I will live here during my university years."
"Bang." The door slammed shut.
Only he and Kimura Momo remained in the room.
Shirakawa Natsumi sat down next to her: "I've completed your task. Are you satisfied with this performance?"
"A good show." Kimura Momo put down her potato chips. "The most interesting thing about human emotions is their complexity. They're not like animals, just going through the motions."
“Uh.” Shirakawa Natsu’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that can be called love anymore. Buying adult products for your wife to increase your sense of involvement, it just seems too twisted.”
“Isn’t complexity precisely what distinguishes humans from animals?” Kimura Momo laughed.
"And what about you?" Shirakawa Natsu suddenly looked up at Kimura Momo: "Have you found what you're looking for?"
If this question were asked to another woman, she certainly wouldn't answer it.
But Kimura Momo is not human. She looked at Shirakawa Natsu in silence for a long time before slowly saying, "I guess it's because I've always felt that you are different from other humans that I've been observing you."
"So it becomes a habit, just like getting used to taking care of and raising a pet, and you develop some feelings for it."
“Watching your life has become a part of my life. When I see you achieve your goals time and time again and look happy, I also feel joy.”
"Although I was troubled by having someone to care about, I gradually started to feel indifferent about it."
"I didn't expect any response from you, and I didn't know that this wasn't what humans call emotion."
Kimura Momo spoke calmly, as if she were describing someone else's feelings.
“This is love.” Shirakawa Natsu leaned closer, her face serious. “Without a doubt, you’ve fallen in love with me.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a serious expression.
"Is that so?" Kimura Momo asked with a half-smile.
"Yes," Shirakawa Natsumi said with certainty.
"I see." Kimura Momo stood up. "I'm going to rest now. Make yourself at home."
"I'll be there to help you find the answer," Shirakawa Natsu said, standing behind her. "It doesn't matter what kind of feelings they are."
"I will always be with you. My life will be long, and I will always stay by your side, no matter what our feelings are now or what our feelings will be in the future."
"Put all of that aside. You are you. You don't need to learn from humans or imitate them."
"The only thing that will never change is that I will always be by your side."
Kimura Momo stopped and turned around, putting a finger to her lips: "Sweet talk won't work on me, after all, I'm not human."
"Oh." Shirakawa Natsumi scratched her head, watching her leave and go back to her room upstairs.
She didn't look back until she closed the door and disappeared from sight.
"How heartless. I thought the atmosphere was right." Shirakawa Natsu shook her head helplessly and left the Fox Apartment.
When he returned to his apartment, Sister Cai was already asleep and too lazy to turn on the lights. Using the light shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, he sat on the sofa and took out his phone.
After opening the Huang Mao app, he was stunned, his face full of surprise. He rubbed his eyes and carefully examined the heart that represented his favorability rating.
It was overflowing with love, and 100%.
"Yay!" Shirakawa Natsumi swung her arm and screamed, "You perverted fox, so you're a total tsundere after all."
It turns out that the fox was a lonely creature, and all she sought was the presence of companions willing to stay by her side.
"Hoo." Shirakawa Natsu took a deep breath, looked at the UI interface, and for a moment didn't know where to start.
I've been stuck on the main quest for so long that I've completely forgotten how to complete it.
Tap the heart with your finger, and all the hearts will turn into a cloud of red dust and fly into the points area.
Kimura Momo's difficulty level is Hard, with a 30% score bonus.
He had already withdrawn the money once when he was 40 minutes old.
