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

His head bumped into Xiangzi's slippers, which were brand new... fluffy and with pink rabbit ears.

"It's like the whole family is dead."

How could a living family not have anyone to care about them?

If no one in the family has died, how could a dead person like myself be chatting with a dead person in the mirror?

The light from the ceiling chandelier wasn't very bright.

Is "吊等" the same as "高松灯" (a type of lantern) that someone hanged themselves?

Mu said that the light is brightest when pressed three times, but Ningzi prefers the mode that only requires one press.

Because it is not dazzling, and it will not make Ningzi feel ashamed under the light.

Ningzi was still wearing Xiangzi's clothes.

It was precisely because of this outfit that Ningzi looked more like Toyokawa Shoko in the mirror.

"How could this happen? How did I end up living such a terrible life?"

Ningzi reached out and touched the notebook that the lamp had given her.

"I'm sorry, Xiaodeng. I shouldn't have blamed you just now. You just met Xiangzi first, that's true."

The only mistake is this: being sensitive to everything, I'm making myself feel uncomfortable by overthinking and being pretentious.

Huddled up in front of the mirror, looking completely disheveled, Ningzi flipped to a random page in her notebook.

Take a look, anything is fine.

Even just looking at white paper and black lines is better than having a fit of rage while looking in the mirror…

The pages turned listlessly.

"This is?"

The page I randomly flipped to had only two sentences.

One of the sentences says:

Today, Hailing angered me, and I'm going to get my revenge!

Chapter 75. Ningzi, Aine, and the Teddy Bear

"What is Ningzi doing right now?!"

Chihaya Aine was rubbing her hair with a towel after taking a shower, with an ice pop in her mouth.

"Ah~ Eating something cold after a shower feels so good~"

Lying down on the sofa in her room, Aine enjoyed her last days of staying home before going back to school.

"I can't register at school until next Monday?! Today is only Tuesday!"

I'm afraid to go out, afraid to go to the places I used to frequent.

Aiyin always had the illusion that she would run into her junior high school classmates as soon as she stepped out the door, but she didn't look forward to such a scene at all.

My social network, which I've built up over so long, has really been wiped out.

"When can I go back to school? At least Yuqiu has Ningzi with him!"

Besides, Ningzi is so cute, she must have a high social standing at school... As long as I say that I am Ningzi's friend, I will definitely make a comeback!

Ai-yin quickly finished her popsicle and turned to rest her head on her wet pink fur.

"Why hasn't Miaomeng updated her videos today? Did she skip it again? How could she do this?"

I'm thinking of learning a few more makeup looks so I can show them off to Ningzi sometime.

Ningzi, she…

Whenever Aine thinks of Ningzi, she recalls that day under the streetlight when Ningzi pressed intimately against her, urging her to…

The image of Wakaba Mutsuki's face suddenly flashed in her orange-tinged memories, and Chihaya Aine was still startled when she thought of those golden pupils again.

"Ugh... that guy is really hard to talk to, it feels like he just wants to get rid of me."

Ai Yin rolled over again, hugging her pillow and looking up at the ceiling.

"It's so great to have found my childhood friend. We even added each other on Line and went out to eat together. Ningzi hasn't forgotten me either."

Neko! Love!

"Hehehe, hehehe..."

A girl like this, who's like a childhood sweetheart, and who just appeared out of nowhere! It's like she was sent to me by heaven to make up for my failed experience studying in the UK.

Ai Yin was dreaming about the future, but in the end she couldn't resist taking out her phone and opening her chat with Ning Zi.

Although they added each other as friends, the two of them really didn't contact each other much...

[Anno: Are you there?]

Ai Yin turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and waited for a few minutes.

There should be a reply by now! Absolutely!

Filled with anticipation and excitement, Chihaya Aine opened her phone.

【Unread】

"Huh? What's wrong? Are they washing up, or have they already fallen asleep?"

Ai-yin looked up at the time.

6:43 PM.

"They're probably busy studying. After all, Yuqiu is a school that requires a high college entrance rate. It's impossible for everyone to rush into a livehouse to play in a band as soon as school is over, right?"

The closer your hand is to the microphone, the further you are from the university.

I've heard that recently a lot of teenage girls have given up going to college to form bands, and it seems that some older girls are even encouraging high school girls to do the same.

Alas, people's hearts have changed.

Exiting the chat interface, Aiyin quickly switched to the shopping interface.

"I promised to give Xiaoning a flower as a return gift, what should I give her?"

It's really frustrating, because after not seeing each other for so long, Aine can't even remember what the other person likes.

Huh? A teddy bear? I gave Ningzi a teddy bear when I was little.

If I give Ningzi a teddy bear, she'll definitely remember me even more vividly, right?

"Teddy bears are the cutest."

Ningzi will definitely like it!

Hey hey.

……

many years ago.

"Teddy bears are the cutest!"

"No! No, that's not it! The cutest one is the toy cat!"

"Are there really toy cats?! You're lying!"

"My sister told me it's true! It really is!"

In the small park, two adorable little Puddings are building a sandcastle in the sandpit.

The park is small, even pitifully small. Two swings, a sandpit, and a small pavilion are all that make up the park.

If you don't know this area well, it would be hard to find such a unique little paradise amidst all the neon-lit buildings.

In this pure land, Chiyana placed a brand new toy teddy bear on top of the sand castle.

"Ningzi, look! This is the cutest!"

"No, that's not it..."

The little blue bean's voice grew softer and softer until finally it was just a long string of faint sobs.

"Waaah... Aine is bullying me! I'm not playing with you anymore."

Ningzi threw down the small shovel in her hand, turned around, and refused to look at Aine anymore.

"Oh? I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't stop playing with me!"

"No! I won't! Play! With! Aine!"

She stuck out her tongue in a huff, but because her back was to Aine, Aine couldn't see Ningzi's little expression clearly.

"Hey? Don't do that! I was wrong! I really was!"

Aine picked up the teddy bear and walked around to Ningzi, wanting to explain something, but due to a lack of vocabulary, she could only anxiously gesture in the air.

What should I do?! The girl who pinky-swore to be with me forever and marry me yesterday is now angry with me! How do I coax her? I need help urgently.

"Was it really a mistake?"

As if she had caught Aine's little tail, Toyokawa Ningko stopped crying and looked at Chihaya Aine with her bright, sparkling eyes.

That's definitely not what they're planning.

Unfortunately, Chihaya Aine is still young and does not yet have a clear understanding of the dangers of the world.

Your innate purity, and the truth, goodness, and beauty that arise from it, will be tainted by—

Toyokawa Ningko rubbed her eyes with her forearm, which was free of sand, and held out her small hand to Chihaya Aine:

"Aine says! Teddy bears are the cutest! Then let me borrow your teddy bear to look at! If you lend it to me to play with, I'll admit that Aine is right!"

"Huh? This, this, um! Well, okay then! Remember to return it to me later!"

Aiyin hugged her toy teddy bear tightly. It was a gift her father brought her when he went to England on a business trip. She liked it very much, and she had only played with it for two days.

But! Making Ningzi happy is more important!

After a brief hesitation, Ai Yin resolutely shoved the teddy bear into Ningzi's arms.

"You! You, you'd better keep her safe! Remember to return her to me next week... no, the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay! I love Aine the most! Kisses!"

Ningzi looked at the teddy bear, which was as big as her head, with great delight, and bit Aine's face directly.

"Mua! My mom's here to pick me up! There's a party at Mu-nee's house today, so I have to go now! See you tomorrow, Aine!"

Okay! See you tomorrow!

Chihaya Aine watched Toyokawa Neko's departing figure and touched the drool stain on her face with her little hand.

Children don't know how to kiss; when they do, they take a big bite.

"Hehehe, Ningzi is the cutest!"

That was the last time Chihaya Aine saw Toyokawa Neko.

That's the way it is.

Chapter 76. Toyokawa Leko's Brief Glance Back

"Revenge on Hailing? When was this written again... I remember writing this joke for some reason."

It was just a joke... I feel like writing it here might cause misunderstandings for people who don't know the context.

Clothes, skirts, shoes, and all sorts of things were scattered all over the floor. Toyokawa Ningko had taken off her sister's long dress and was practically naked, curled up at the doorway.

"This notebook has been filled with so much writing."

It's unbelievable. It seems like I've only had it for a few days, but I've already used up so many sheets of paper.

Is it because I write in extremely large characters, and a few bold sentences take up most of the page?

hum-

hum-

hum-

The cheap phone, which wasn't on silent mode, was making a lot of noise. Ningzi kicked it far away without even looking at it.
