Chapter 151 A Farewell Letter
Sensing the light from the outside world, Lingbo's consciousness gradually cleared.
She opened her eyes and sat up straight. Beside her lay another petite figure.
duckweed----?!
Lingbo was completely stunned.
Why am I sleeping here?!
She suddenly jumped out of bed, a movement that woke the girl next to her.
Fu Ping opened her sleepy eyes and sat up. She looked at Ling Bo, who stood by the bed with a terrified expression, and a smile appeared on her face—
Good morning, Rei-chan.
Lingbo frowned, ignoring Fuping's greeting, and went straight to the first key point: "Why did I fall asleep here yesterday?"
He fell asleep in the movie theater and was taken to Fu Ping's house. He must have slept for at least two or three hours, right? Then, he chatted with Fu Ping for a while—and actually slept straight through to the next day?! How is that possible?!
She remembered that Fu Ping had said that when she brought her from the movie theater to her home, she used magic to put herself to sleep. Could it be—
"Did you use magic on me again?"
"hey-hey----"
Fu Ping scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, a blush creeping onto her face.
Lingbo was speechless; this was like a kidnapping.
"Um, well, I mainly wanted you to get some rest," Fu Ping quickly jumped off the bed and ran to Ling Bo to explain. "Besides, Captain Noah messaged me saying you could stay at my place for the night, so I—"
"Noah said that?" Lingbo frowned.
What on earth is that guy thinking?
"Hmm! The captain said you should relax a bit!" Fu Ping said, taking Ling Bo's hand. "So, I took the liberty of letting you fall asleep—I'm sorry."
What does "let you relax" mean?
However, seeing Fu Ping's sincere apology, Ling Bo wasn't really angry. After all, Fu Ping didn't mean her any harm.
only----
Lingbo looked down at her pajamas, then looked up at Fuping with an extremely wary gaze.
"Did you help me change into these pajamas?"
"Yes!" Floating Duckweed nodded. "I figured you must be uncomfortable sleeping in a coat and skirt, so I changed you into my pajamas! How is it? Does it fit perfectly?"
"————"
"I swear! I absolutely didn't do anything weird!" Fu Ping raised her right hand, solemnly promising, "I just touched you a little bit—just a tiny bit—"
—But you still did it, didn't you?!
Lingbo felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and clutched her forehead.
Forget it, arguing with a lolicon about this is a losing proposition.
"It's getting late, I should go home."
Lingbo quickly walked to the bedside and picked up her clothes from the bedside table.
"Are we leaving now?" A clear look of disappointment crossed Fu Ping's face. "It wouldn't be too late to leave after breakfast—"
"No need."
Lingbo went into the bathroom to change her clothes. Although theoretically she could change in the bedroom without any problem, she felt that changing in front of Fuping might cause something else to happen.
When she came out again, the duckweed was waiting for her pitifully, like an abandoned puppy.
"Um—Ayanami-chan, can I ask you to play again next time?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Leaving behind this reply, Lingbo practically "escaped" from the duckweed's home.
Upon reaching a corner of a lush green area within the residential complex, Lingbo looked around to make sure no one was there, then deactivated her magical girl transformation.
A flash of white light appeared, and Shen Zixin reappeared in Lingbo's original spot.
He took out his phone and glanced at the time.
Sunday, 8:30 a.m.
At this time, Xiaoling should have already gone to Li Mengling's place for tutoring. Noah said the day before yesterday that she has been quite busy lately and is probably not at home.
And my older sister—no—it's Su Qingyuan—
The thought of that woman weighed heavily on Shen Zixin's mind.
Since that night, although Su Qingyuan still lives in this house, the two sides have completely stopped communicating. To be precise, Shen Zixin has been avoiding meeting her.
After making breakfast, Shen Zixin or Noah would eat their own portion and leave quickly to avoid running into Su Qingyuan. Xiaoling, who woke up later, would usually have breakfast with Su Qingyuan.
In front of Xiaoling, Su Qingyuan still tried her best to play the role of "Sister Lu Yue".
This way of getting along isn't a problem in the short term. But as time goes on, Xiaoling will eventually realize something is wrong.
There's no going back for them.
With mixed feelings, Shen Zixin returned home.
Pushing open the door, just as expected, the house was empty.
Shen Zixin sighed, a wave of indescribable loneliness washing over her.
When Shen Zixin returned to her bedroom, she immediately noticed a conspicuous envelope on the table.
Shen Zixin stepped forward, picked up the envelope, and began to read it—
[Final words to Zixin's younger brother – Su Qingyuan]
He didn't want to open it.
He no longer wanted anything to do with that woman. He didn't want to hear her confessions or explanations anymore.
However, the phrase "final words" made Shen Zixin hesitate. What did this somewhat deathbed-like statement mean?
?
What is she going to do?
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Zixin finally opened the envelope.
To my younger brother, Zixin:
By the time you read this letter, I will have already left this home.
Please forgive my abrupt departure, for I simply do not have the courage to say goodbye to you in person. I fear seeing the look of disgust in your eyes—though it may seem like self-deception—but I will still write to you.
I stole Lu Yue's life and usurped the family affection that should have belonged to her. Like a despicable thief, I enjoyed it all with a clear conscience. I once thought that as long as I could continue playing this role forever, this happiness could last forever.
Just consider it a beautiful dream, and now we've simply woken up.
I lost something that never belonged to me, and I'm still feeling immense pain—I guess I'm truly beyond redemption.
There's no way around it—I love Zixin so much, I really—want to be your older sister.
?
Therefore, I chose to deceive you.
I know that no matter how many times I say "I'm sorry," it can't undo the sins I've committed. I have no right to ask for your forgiveness.
I am writing this letter not to gain your sympathy, nor to find any excuse for my actions.
I just want to say goodbye to you one last time, as "Su Qingyuan".
Zixin, you are the only light in my life besides Sister Lu Yue. You made me, who was rejected by everyone, experience the warmth of being needed for the first time.
That's why I'm so jealous of Lu Yue, whom you call "older sister".
I'm sorry to you—and I'm sorry to Sister Lu Yue too.
I deserve to die.
Please, forget about me.
Forget about "Sister Qingyuan" who lived with you in the lab, and forget about "Sister Luyue" who deceived you for ten years.
I will use the rest of my time to atone for my sins—perhaps, I will meet my final end in some corner of the world.
But no matter what, I will never appear in front of you again.
Last but not least, there's something I really want you to know.
That is, Zixin, Xiaoling, and Yuran, you are all my most important family members.
This is the only real thing in my despicable life. But I no longer deserve to have this feeling.
Goodbye, my dearest brother. May every day of your future be filled with sunshine.
—Su Qingyuan
