Ningzi pulled Mu up, her movements gentle yet strong.

"Will this affect other people?"

"in spite of."

"Let's slow down..."

"No, Ningzi must take Mu and escape from here quickly."

Corridor, exit.

There were no passersby on the passageway leading to the outside world, and we didn't see many staff members either.

Very few people leave halfway through; those who manage to squeeze in time to relax here are all prepared to stay the whole way.

Ning Zihe was the only exception.

They had no attachment or expectation towards the planetarium, and might not even come again in the future.

"Slow down... Xiao Ning..."

"No! Hurry up! And remember to call me 'sister'!"

From the planetarium to the street, there are nearly a hundred steps. Ningzi's steps were light, which made Mu, whose wrist was being held, widen his eyes.

"Like an angel..."

An angel is leading Mu away from the night sky; an angel is helping her move on from the past.

The angel is Xiao Ning, but Ningzi is an angel whose wings were broken by her own hands.

"Stop running."

Mu grabbed Ningzi, forcefully stopping Ningzi from continuing to lead her away.

They stopped on the marble platform, and Ningzi looked at Mu with confusion:

"What's the matter?"

"Xiao Ning, you actually remember everything, right?"

Mu's long, blue hair obscured his face, making it impossible for Ningzi to see his expression.

"what?"

"Why...why are you still so kind to me after remembering those things...why are you doing this to me..."

This is a kind gesture.

It's really hard to bear.

family?

I'm afraid I'm not up to the task...

I'm the villain who made Xiao Ning unable to turn off the lights at night!

Ch140. Mutsou doesn't die from a boomerang.

I never intended to hurt anyone.

I feel sorry for everything.

But my inferiority complex overcame everything that loved me.

.........

In the middle of long outdoor steps, there is usually a platform of varying sizes for citizens to rest.

Toyokawa Ningko had already touched the step below the platform with one foot, but she was unable to take the next step.

Her hand was pulled by Wakaba Mutsu... or rather, she pulled Mutsu's hand, but Mutsu no longer had the intention of continuing.

"Mu?"

"Ning, please stop... Please, blame me... scold me if you want... just stop..."

Don't be nice to me anymore... The beautiful memories I have now only hurt the ugliness in my heart.

Ruoye Mu supported himself on his knees and bent over.

Something was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe—it was her increasingly deep relationship with Toyokawa Ningko.

I could be a puppet, a mere acquaintance, or even a pet—it's not entirely out of the question…

But not for a single person.

I cannot bear this responsibility.

How could they possibly be qualified to be Ningzi's family?

Mu admitted that he had acted impulsively yesterday and blurted out all his innermost thoughts.

I shouldn't have done that. Those words were meant to remain buried in my heart forever... I should have grabbed Ningzi's fist yesterday and forced her to hit me...

Or perhaps, when Ningzi told her to leave yesterday afternoon, Ruo Yemu should have simply left without saying a word.

"Pfft, why would I scold you? Does Xiao Mu have some weird fetish?"

"..."

Mu wanted to shake her head, but thinking that nodding might make Ningzi dislike her, she simply agreed.

He was a criminal, and also a strange person.

Ningzi, you should just give up on me.

"Keep your distance from me, Xiao Ning... just like before."

Mu used all his strength to say those words, and then he had no energy left to make a sound.

ended.

Indeed, only a home for one person is one's true home.

Ningzi was quietly observing all of this.

Regarding Wakaba Mutsumi's sudden change in attitude... no, it wasn't a change in attitude at all.

Ningzi was all too familiar with Mu's current appearance.

It was self-destruction and self-denial, and excessive pressure that led her to want to escape everything.

Yes, cute little fish.

Little hearts seemed to appear in her eyes, and they were beating more and more violently as Ningzi became more and more interested in Mu.

"What, Xiao Mu suddenly barged into my life, and now she wants to leave just as suddenly?"

Generally, when dealing with this type of person, the appropriate course of action is to intervene decisively and handle the situation seriously.

Ningzi already used the stick-and-drying method, but the effect was mediocre.

Then the next step is to deal with it seriously.

"I...no...I'm sorry, Xiao Ning..."

The sound of a sob being forced out of her throat was particularly jarring on the deserted platform.

Mu forgot to wipe away the tears that had already overflowed from her eyes. She stood there in a daze, letting the tears fall.

A teardrop bloomed into a splash on Mu's shoe, brief and silent.

"Go on, Mu, keep talking. Are you going to leave me?"

Ningzi let go of Ruoye's hand.

That gesture seemed to say:

Fly away, little bird, you are free.

But when Ningzi actually let go of Mu, the emptiness in Mu's heart was instantly magnified infinitely. The intense sense of loss made it difficult for her to breathe and even make it hard for her to stand.

"Sorry…"

"Sorry for what?"

Ningzi moved closer to Mu, pretending to hug him, but withdrew her hand just before touching him.

That action seemed to be telling Mu:

This is what you wanted, and it satisfies you.

"I'm so sorry about what happened that night... I'm so sorry, Xiaoning... I don't know how to make it up to you... No, I probably don't have the right to talk about making it up to you..."

Mu's body swayed precariously, and Ningzi knew that he had now entered a relatively lucid phase.

Tsk, it's the same old routine, always the same when someone's going crazy.

If no one lends them a hand, what awaits them is continuous self-destruction.

Toyokawa Neko wants to be the one who holds onto Wakaba Mutsu.

"Xiao Mu, do you remember what happened that night?"

"I remember…"

"It's not your fault."

"It was my fault."

"Mu really is still stuck in the past," Ningzi thought to herself.

This condition cannot be cured overnight.

The only way to treat it is through gradual treatment in daily life.

Moreover, Mu's suffering is not only related to herself.

Harmonious interpersonal relationships, harmonious family circumstances, and all sorts of other miscellaneous things together have built up this little Harmony that is about to fall apart.

As Mutsu's older sister, Ningzi decides to be the one to hold Mutsu back.

We promised each other we'd be family.

"Then, spend your whole life making it up to me, stay with me for the rest of your life, and be by my side for the rest of your life."

"lifetime?"

"A lifetime, until we die. Isn't that what Xiao Mu said? To get through an unfortunate life together."

"I'm sorry, I..."

"Stop, don't say anymore."

A gentle breeze ruffled Ningzi's skirt, and under the midday sun, Ningzi's blue hair turned slightly white. She turned to the side, raised one hand towards Mu, and made an inviting gesture.

"Please, let me be the reason for your misfortunes! From now on, you can confidently blame everything on me! That way, you'll always have a reason to tell yourself, 'I'm not wrong.'"

familiar?

Ningzi had already engraved Mu's words into her soul and intended to remember them for the rest of her life.

"And stop putting pressure on yourself. I have never blamed you. The past is gone and the future is gone too."

"I will give you a sense of security, a sense of security with a valid reason, not a sense of security without any basis."

"In exchange... please endure this unfortunate life with me before we die..."

"..."

Ningzi's words were like a boomerang, striking Mu squarely between the eyebrows.

She should have known that Ningzi was the kind of girl who would accept you.

Ningzi is perfect, Ningzi is great, Ningzi is all-encompassing…

I'm just a high school student, how dare I say such arrogant things to Ningzi yesterday afternoon...

But the sacred Ningzi chose to give the same answer.

They chose to make a promise of equal weight to themselves.

Ningzi rejected Mu's internal strife and extended a lifelong invitation to Mu.

Mu didn't answer, but continued to sob softly.

But this is actually Mu's reply.
