He spent the rest of the night.
Practicing his term skills.
Lin Xi was very satisfied.
Ogiwara Sayu had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
She was now like a gentle kitten, curled up in his arms.
Later that night.
The poor runaway girl seemed to have a nightmare.
She kept sobbing, saying sorry.
She probably dreamed of the girl who jumped in front of her.
After all.
Being collectively isolated and ostracized at school.
Even bullied.
Could it be blamed on Ogiwara Sayu?
The girl who was targeted and ostracized because of Sayu, seemed to be an unpopular person.
Two unpopular people got together to keep each other warm and became friends.
Then one of them couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide.
And she pushed all the responsibility onto Ogiwara Sayu.
This was like being stabbed in the back by her best friend.
Because she was at the scene of her friend’s death, she was naturally mistaken for killing her.
When she returned home, even her own mother would ask her, "Did you really kill that child?"
Ogiwara Sayu was betrayed by her mother and her best friend.
No wonder she would rather wander than return to that home.
Looking at the girl who was still crying, Lin Xi sighed.
He reached out and gently stroked her little head.
"Good girl, it’s okay."
"Everything will be alright."
Strangely enough.
After he touched her head, Ogiwara Sayu’s expression gradually softened.
Finally, she fell asleep soundly.
Lin Xi also closed his eyes and went to sleep.
It will be a long and arduous journey to open Ogiwara Sayu’s heart and help her overcome her past shadow.
Perhaps, when she is willing to tell him about the past, that will be the best opportunity.
But, that will take time.
After all, Ogiwara Sayu probably thinks it was her fault that her friend died.
It can only be said that there are too many people who shirk responsibility in the world.
Ogiwara Sayu’s friend was no exception.
She died, and she said it was all Ogiwara Sayu’s fault. She was out of the woods, but she left the living with pain.
Suicide is a betrayal of oneself, a betrayal of one's family, and a betrayal of one's friends.
Life may be painful.
But because he is still alive, Lin Xi wants to work hard to find a way to be happy and make those he cares about happy.
［Ding, congratulations on completing the task, comforting the mentally unstable girl. You have earned a skill reward: Damage Reflection!］
［Skill: Damage Reflection, when the player is damaged by other creatures, it will be reflected back to them doubled.］
Hearing this prompt, Lin Xi’s eyes lit up.
This skill is awesome!
Although he has been exercising all along.
But he was destined to be not very strong, after all, he hadn’t studied martial arts.
But with this skill, it's different.
Direct damage reflection.
However, this skill also has limitations.
It only works on living creatures.
If he is damaged by a building, he can’t reflect it back.
But as long as it is damage caused by living creatures, it can be reflected back to them doubled!
He didn’t expect that comforting Little Sayu would have such a reward.
Indeed, this game of life system is amazing.
It feels like every task is triggered and completed to help him experience life better and gain happiness.
Lin Xi didn’t know how others defined happiness.
But his definition of happiness was probably to be a badass light novel protagonist and live a happy life with cute heroines.
Experiencing happiness is not only about saving others.
It's also about saving yourself.
Lin Xi soon fell asleep.
The evening’s exercise didn’t have any impact on him.
On the contrary, both his body and mind felt a sense of satisfaction.
Unconsciously, it was dawn.
When Ogiwara Sayu woke up, she found that no one was in the bed.
She looked at the empty space beside her and couldn’t help but hug the blanket tightly and take a deep breath.
It seemed to still have Lin Xi’s scent on it.
Last night was the best sleep she’d had in a while.
It wasn’t because she was tired from being messed with by him.
She heard him comforting her.
That warm embrace gave her a strong sense of security.
When he stroked her little head, her heart was touched beyond words.
Her mother only doubted her, blamed her, and scolded her.
Her brother was concerned about her at first.
But he was only focused on work, he didn’t really care about her.
Giving her money to go out and relax was like dismissing a nuisance.
The look in their eyes.
It was only cold.
But Lin Xi looked at her with passion and tenderness.
Maybe he was attracted to her and that’s why he was so good to her.
But Ogiwara Sayu realized that she didn’t want to leave.
She didn’t want to leave this rare tenderness.
The girl wrapped herself in Lin Xi’s blanket and rolled around on the bed.
Covering herself with his blanket made her feel like she was surrounded by Lin Xi’s breath.
As if he were hugging her.
However.
Would it be weird to breathe in his scent from his blanket?
Thinking about it, Ogiwara Sayu’s delicate face turned bright red.
When Lin Xi walked in with two bowls of noodles.
He saw the beautiful black-haired girl intoxicated, holding one of his clothes and taking a deep breath.
"Cough..."
"Ahhh! I’m sorry!"
Ogiwara Sayu was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
She was caught sniffing Lin Xi’s clothes.
What to do.
He wouldn’t think she was a perverted JK and hate her, would he?
Seeing her flustered, Lin Xi chuckled.
"Don’t apologize, I’m not blaming you."
"It’s just that if you don’t get up soon, the noodles will stick together and won’t be good to eat."
Ogiwara Sayu shyly lowered her head, embarrassed to look at him.
But she still obediently put on her clothes, picked up her bowl, and ate the noodles.
After she finished eating, she took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Then she ran to him and bowed deeply.
"I’m sorry."
"I said I would do the housework, but I still have to trouble you with dinner…"
Lin Xi smiled and stroked her hair, softly said:
"It’s okay, when you do housework, I’m talking about normal circumstances. This is your job."
"But last night wasn’t normal, so if you’re in that situation again, Sayu can slack off."
"Life is all about being convenient and happy."
Hearing this, Ogiwara Sayu smiled shyly, suddenly leaned closer, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Thank you, Xi-kun."
Lin Xi enjoyed the pretty girl’s affection.
"Alright, from now on, just stay in Sakura Manor."
"Okay."
She made a soft nasal sound in response.
She couldn’t help but rub her cheek against his chest.
