Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 168 Nishinomiya Liuli’s Confusion and the Illusive Moon
This sentence left Naoko Ueno unable to refute.

——Because Nishimiya Ruri's current situation is very good, at least better than the initial situation before.

However, Naoko Ueno still felt that her thoughts were unclear.

She couldn't tell what the reason was, and she couldn't find a reason.

He could only say forcefully: "Anyway, let's go and see Nishinomiya Ruri. Aren't you friends? And we're neighbors."

She advised Xia Tingfei forcefully but helplessly like a friend.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xia Tingfei nodded: "I understand."

"Yes, that's fine."

Ueno Naoko nodded, turned and left here.

"what happened?"

Hinazuki Kana came out and leaned against the wall.

"Just a little thing."

Xia Tingfei shook his head: "It's a trivial matter."

The two of them talked about some miscellaneous things, and Xia Tingfei left again.

——Xia Tingfei originally came to replace Hinazuki Kana, but unexpectedly he met Naoko Ueno again.

"Perhaps it's really time to take a look."

Thinking like this, Xia Tingfei left the hospital and walked towards the convenience store.

When passing by the Steel Bridge, he stood in the middle of the bridge and looked down.

——This is the place where the deceased committed suicide.

There are suicide prevention slogans posted on the bridge in dangerous red and yellow colors.

Because of the heavy rain and warming, the red thread-like existence can be vaguely seen in the river that gradually becomes turbulent.

Qu Jian Ai, have you been here before?

Xia Tingfei couldn't help but think so.

——Suicide, death, disappearing skin.

This weird thing must be related to Qujian Ai.

Who else but her can remain hidden in society, like a ghost.

clatter,
Hey.

The high heels made a dull clicking sound when stepping on the bridge.

The girl has long, beautiful hair that reaches down to her back, and she looks like a high school student.

Although he is much taller than high school students of the same age, he has a slender body and fair and transparent skin that can be broken by a bullet.His straight face looks mature at first glance, but in fact he still retains his childishness.

Wherever such a person is placed, he will undoubtedly be a favorite.

There was a faint confident smile on her face, which was almost impossible to look at.

The inner part is a strapless halter top, the outer part is a white cardigan shirt, and the lower body is a rich pink mid-length skirt.

Her ankles are lonely, her calves are slender, and she wears a pair of white canvas shoes.

If you see it anywhere, you will think that this guy is a winner in life - it is always different from person to person, just like choosing different difficulty levels of the game.

Some people are very simple, and some people are very difficult.

This guy's life must be smooth sailing on super easy difficulty - anyone would think so.

Xia Tingfei looked at her.

【Illusory Moon】

[Cause of death: Will commit suicide by jumping into the river at 43:[-] pm on February [-]th. 】

[Just living in this world seems extremely painful. She is standing at a critical intersection. Please choose her life - live in pain or die happily. 】

[Reward: ten years of healthy life. 】

February [-]th, that is today.

Xia Tingfei looked at his phone and took a photo of the river.

The time now is exactly one thirty in the afternoon.

There is no one on the steel bridge.

The girl seemed not to have expected that someone would be here during the specially chosen time.

She hesitated for a moment, then stood not far away.

At the other end of the red and yellow, she slowly climbed up the bridge and stood on it.

The wind blew the hem of her skirt, making her figure sway a little.

Xia Tingfei also stood on it, looking down at the river below.

This action surprised the girl, but she didn't ask, just lowered her eyelids.

"In this river, there was a big stone before."

Xia Tingfei said: "But after someone committed suicide here before, the stone was moved away."

"Adults think that maybe the person who commits suicide will not die. At most, he will be seriously injured and lie in bed."

Such words made the girl look down at the river.

"If you jump from here, you will definitely die."

"Maybe, but adults think that this can help people survive. But that kind of life may be more uncomfortable than death. Lying in bed with serious injuries, there is even a high chance of becoming a vegetative state. According to this, maybe Yes, it is good luck to die directly. I am not lucky, there is a high chance that I will not die."

"Are you going to do the same?"

To do so - to commit suicide.

Of course Xia Tingfei would not commit suicide, but the girl next to him would.

"If you can jump from here, I'll jump too."

He said this coldly.

Such words made the girl frown: "Are you a security guard?"

"No, just an ordinary high school student."

"Liar. You obviously want to use this reason to force me not to do this." The girl said this with an expression that she had seen through.

——At this time, she smiled cutely like an ordinary female high school student.

"I don't care what you do at all. In my eyes, you are just a person who may cause trouble to me." Xia Tingfei said: "Someone asked me to watch this place carefully and not let anyone Seeking death here. If I can't do that, I'll be troubled."

"So, you just want to seek death?" the girl said, "It's such a stupid reason."

"Are there any reasons that are stupid or not?" Xia Tingfei looked at the river under the bridge: "They are just trying to escape, right? Do we need to distinguish between high and low?"

Of course, there is no need to distinguish between high and low.

But, but.

Just because of this reason, I will seek death.

So stupid, so stupid.

If the TV station broadcasts the cause of his death, it will definitely have something to do with him.

At that time, I will become a laughing stock.

Moreover, it is really unacceptable to cause the death of others.

That kind of thing is really unacceptable to anyone.

The girl hesitated, bending slightly to look at the river below.

It is true that there is no guarantee that he will die - if he is seriously injured and can only lie in the hospital, then life will be worse than death.

She hesitated.

Xia Tingfei opened his arms and leaned forward slightly.

boom--

The girl's high heels stepped on the wide square fence, grabbed Xia Tingfei's arm, and pushed him down to the bridge.

——She herself also jumped from the bridge.

Her high heels clicked on the bridge as she walked in the direction she came from.

【Illusory Moon】

[Cause of death: Shi was hit by a tram at [-]am on February [-]th. 】

[Just living in this world seems extremely painful. She is standing at a critical intersection. Please choose her life - live in pain or die happily. 】

[Reward: ten years of healthy life. ] "The mission was not completed? And the mission has changed?"

Xia Tingfei frowned and looked at the girl's back, not surprised.

He only "stopped" her once. The girl will still seek death later, so her mission is not completed yet.

The girl's desire to seek death must be completely dispelled before the mission is completed.

It's just that he just met this girl by chance - he doesn't know the girl's name, her school, or what happened.

Even if he wanted to do something, it was extremely limited.

"Tomorrow?"

Xia Tingfei marked in his heart that he had completed this task and was aware of the long-term task.

Standing up, he left the bridge and headed towards the place where Nishimiya Liuli worked.

Nishinomiya Ruri's convenience store is very quiet now. The store manager takes good care of her and allows her to sit and rest for a while when no one is around.

Nishimiya Ruri was sitting behind the cashier, looking at the outside world through the huge window.

What is she thinking now?Even Nishimiya Ruri himself doesn’t know

——She was confused about what she would do if she made enough money.

At that time, he must have found other reasons to stop himself.

Nishimiya Ruri believed it very much - but it also brought a little confusion.

Knowing that everything you do is useless, do you still want to continue?
She often thinks about such problems - but the smiles of her family and her sister's worries always prevent her from continuing to think pessimistically.

When I get to that time - maybe I really give up again.

When that time comes, can I really choose to abandon everything?

Maybe, maybe not.

She looked at her palms and wanted to sigh.

But she just smiled.

Looking at his smile on the computer screen, Nishimiya Ruri stopped thinking.

Just go on like this.

Just keep going like this.

She saw the convenience store door open, stood up and said in a welcoming tone: "Welcome."

But the man was just standing in front of the cashier.

Looking up, she saw the man.

"Nishiya."

Xia Tingfei looked at Xi Gong Liuli's appearance - his eyes were a little confused.

"But confusion is always better than determination. Confusion is thinking, confusion is doubting one's past, and confusion is reflection."

"This is already good."

"Isn't your working time up yet?"

High school students cannot work more than 40 hours in a week and no more than eight hours in a day.

Nishimiya Ruri, who has always been very diligent, doesn't have to go to work on Sundays.

"arrive."

Her tone was delicate, and she wanted to lower her head so as not to look at Xia Tingfei.

But her special nature requires her to look at other people's faces.

"Then how about going outside?"

Xia Tingfei pointed outside the convenience store.

Nishinomiya Ruri, how could he refuse?

She nodded, ran to the backstage to talk to the store manager, and went to the dressing room to change clothes.

There are always benches around convenience stores for the convenience of social animals to rest.Benches are always placed against the walls of convenience stores, and there are usually vending machines next to them.

Sitting on it, Xia Tingfei thought about Xi Gong Liuli.

He really couldn't say with any certainty that Nishimiya Ruri had changed and become stronger.

——The way she looks now, it is obvious that she is only moving forward relying on the goals she has set.

What will happen to her if her goal is accomplished?

Even Xia Tingfei himself did not dare to speculate.

But in comparison, it must not be good.

It would be fine if someone like Tide Chips or Hinazuki Kana had a clear goal, they just need to defeat them.

It's like defeating the inner demon - but the inner demon exists in reality, and is much simpler than the illusory existence.

Nishimiya Ruri's problem is in her mind - she always lacks self-confidence and thinks everything is her fault.

Even though he was shining brightly that day, he was hit by the heavy facts that followed.

Emotional extremes can be easily switched.

That happened when she was shining brightest.

Naturally, she would think everything was her fault.

There was no problem, but it was also the last straw for him.

Made her make the decision to seek death
Xia Tingfei sighed and looked at the dry asphalt road with white light.

Nishimiya Ruri walked out - she was not wearing a school uniform, but something similar.

Plaid skirt, white shirt, and jacket.

Her long pink apricot hair was shining.

Xia Tingfei stood up: "Let's go."

That's true, but Xia Tingfei doesn't have a good place to go.

He was just walking aimlessly, but Nishinomiya Ruri didn't mind if he was still there.

Under the noon sun, the two of them walked together under the trees on the roadside.

Colorful light spots fell on the stone bricks, looking like broken glass pieces.

"Those fish were killed by wild tides."

The fish in Nishinomiya Ruri were killed by Tide Noai. They saw Tide Algae crumbs feeding the fish bread, so they were killed by Tide Algae Crumbs.

When Nishimiya Ruri was told this reason, she was startled.

I don't know what kind of expression I should show or how to act.

In the end, he just muttered: "So, that's it."

"Are you so indifferent?"

Of course there is something wrong with Nishimiya Ruri's state.

——She loved those fish very much, and she was still very sad when those fish died.

Have you let go of this appearance now?

Xia Tingfei couldn't tell whether this was good or bad - if she could reconcile with herself like she did with fish, then this would certainly be a good thing.

But if it's the kind of situation where you don't pay attention, this is undoubtedly the worst case scenario.

"Would you like to see the tide algae chips - she is lying in the hospital now."

When people see other miserable people, they always feel a little hopeful about their own lives.

Nishimiya Ruri thought for a while and nodded.

Because Naoko Ueno once bullied Umine, she wanted to apologize for Ueno on behalf of Ueno.

Nishimiya Ruri used her salary to buy a flower.

A white flower. Xia Tingfei couldn't recognize the name of this flower, but the flower shop owner said it had a beautiful meaning.

When passing by the Steel Bridge, Xia Tingfei saw the girl.

She found small stones on the river bank and threw them into the river, thoughtfully.

When she raised her head, the girl looked at Xia Tingfei.

Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, probably because she realized that Xia Tingfei had lied to her.
