Chapter 226: "Indelible, yet endlessly burning"
He walked slowly into the classroom, and the "people" in the classroom did not move at all.
Rather than saying that these are people, it would be better to say that these are dark silhouettes.
Some were busy copying something, some were sleeping on the table, and some were leaning back on the chair. He even saw two shadows standing very close to each other, gesticulating and talking.
He moved closer to the shadows that seemed to be communicating and heard their voices.
"...Dongxue hasn't recovered yet?"
"Yes, her condition is the most serious, and she is still in the worst mental state."
"There are actually people who are so obsessed with the fantasy world... and can even imagine someone to like. No wonder her parents sent her here."
"I often heard her talking to herself before. She even said she was communicating with her lover...but I clearly saw her talking to the air."
"Ah? There are actually people who like things that don't exist. How strange..."
"Really? I thought it was weird too. I wanted to tease her and even asked her the name of her imaginary lover."
"What's your name?"
"She said that her lover's name is Yang Xia... I am really laughing to death. Dong Xue and Yang Xia, you see, these two are quite a good match, right?"
"Hahahaha, indeed. I'm so happy. This psychopath's fantasy is quite real..."
"Dongxue is definitely the craziest one among us. We are normal, right?"
“…”
Su Mingan frowned as he listened to the conversation between the two shadows.
He wanted to listen to their next conversation, but found that the sound had stopped.
The girl, wearing a blood-red dance dress, slowly walked in from the classroom door.
He saw this bright red amidst the dull, dark black, like seeing a drop of blood from his heart melting in the water.
She walked up to him.
"Am I abnormal?" she asked.
“…”
"They all say I'm childish, that I'm daydreaming, that I'm crazy." Dongxue looked at him, tears gathering in the corners of her eyes.
"Doctor, Dr. Baisha. You are here to [treat] me. What do you think of my condition?"
"I don't know your condition." Su Mingan said: "——Because I don't think you are sick at all."
Dongxue's eyes, as if rekindled from ashes, gradually brightened up.
"Loving someone has nothing to do with the other person's gender, race, or identity background." Su Mingan said: "Love is the attraction between two individuals. It is a beauty and belief. When you have a feeling of [love] in your heart, then this is love.
——Believe what you believe, love what you love, Dongxue. "
Su Mingan was speaking sincerely, but the comments had already seen through everything:
【Here it comes, it starts again. 】
[It’s time for my favorite part of fooling NPCs. 】
[? ? How many galgames has this person played? Why is he so skilled every time? ? ]
[It is reasonable to suspect that Su Mingan dated many girls during high school. ]
[The previous suspicion was wrong. Ming An's background had already been uncovered by a group of people. He has never been in a relationship...]
[Is this the series of paper talks? I’ve got it.]
[Hey! I feel like I'm being implied. What's wrong with Mina-san liking virtual paper figures? Kuso! ]
[I am so angry, when will the second dimension stand up again? 】
【……】
Dongxue's eyes became brighter and brighter.
She stood in the dark shadow, like a bright red mole.
"Really? Doctor." Her eyes were bright. "But, other people say I'm sick... No matter how many times I emphasize it, they will always just say [You can't live in a virtual world], [That's not love at all], [You should be mature]. I love someone so much, but they want to send me here [for correction]..."
“Doctor, but I can’t live without her.
"The white porcelain cup I bought for her at the counter, buried in the farthest corner of the notebook, is her short name.
“When I was doing my homework, I would inadvertently write her name on the draft paper. When I was buying something, I would always think of bringing her a copy.
“I would make coffee to suit her taste, I would change my behavior for her, everything around me had a reflection of her.
Dongxue hugged her chest with her hands, her movements were very violent, as if she was hugging another non-existent person tightly.
Her soft words floated in the dark classroom, and tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes:
“I like her.
I feel happy just thinking about my name being listed next to hers.
She has completely permeated my life, and I like her, and I like these short, secret pleasures."
Su Mingan was stunned.
The NPC's words would automatically change to something he could understand. Therefore, Dong Xue's pronouns were understood by him without any hindrance.
"she".
The Yangxia that Dongxue likes is a woman.
At first, he thought that Yang Xia should be Xia Luoyang. But now, Dong Xue's name told him that Yang Xia was a woman.
Or was it a virtual woman that she had imagined?
"I am really in pain and desperate," said Dongxue.
She hugged herself and her whole body was shaking.
"I often talked to her, told her about my life at school, and she kept me going when I wanted to jump off the roof.
"She knows everything about me and talks to me about everything in life. I love her and in this world that keeps sinking, I look at her like I look at the night sky.
