[Comprehensive] Did Zhixi watch pretty boys today?

After such a clear idea of ​​"I don't want to be controlled anymore", Zhixi is ready to fight against the invisible enemy from now on.

She even expected that maybe on this ordinary night, she would fall into such a strange and beautiful dream again—maybe even the last time.Unexpectedly, she also opened her eyes when the sunlight came in through the cracks in the curtains the next morning.

At first, her mind was blank, but after a few seconds, Zhi Xi realized that last night... nothing happened.

—Wait, is that really the case?

The feeling of disobedience became more and more intense. She frowned and thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of anything: It seemed that something happened, but what was it?

【you're awake. 】

The voice without emotional ups and downs came straight to my mind.

This feeling is so familiar.

Zhi Xi's breathing was uncontrollably suffocated, and she turned her head in disbelief, all the words were blocked in her throat at that moment like a dumb fire.

In front of the ivory white desk, someone was sitting there, with eyes behind green lenses looking at him with a level face, and on her face was the familiar yet unfamiliar "calmness".

[Although it is troublesome, I still have to introduce myself.I am the Saiki Kusuo of this world, not the one in your memory. ] Qi Mu got up and walked towards the bed, looking down at her condescendingly. The girl who just woke up has messy hair, and a thin layer of mist is clearly visible in her amber eyes. Looking at him, he opened his mouth: "...Because of the last one, I mean, because of the world I was in before, Kusuo-kun... contacted you?"

[That's right. 】Qi Mu was a little surprised, she didn't expect her reaction to be quite fast, she obviously looked a little... stupid.

Recalling what happened before, Saiki Kusuo frowned almost imperceptibly.

To be honest, the self in the parallel world is obviously not much different from him in this world in all aspects, and from the brief exchange, I can also feel that Saiki Kusuo is not a nosy person—but because of Saiki Kusuo was still surprised to be approached by him for such a thing.

Connecting with myself in a parallel world—it's a weird experience, and Kusuo Saiki doesn't want to have this experience if he can.But since he was begged by him with a dumb face, he finally chose to agree.

Let's make it quick.With this in mind, Saiki Kusuo sneaked into the girl's dream last night, and managed to modify several of the core programs before the other party.

Zhixi scratched the corner of the quilt with her fingers, "So, the reason why you, Qi Mu-kun of this world, are here...?"

[It was entrusted by him to deal with the troubles you encountered. ] Saiki Kusuo looked at her calmly, 【To be precise, you are no longer under the control of the "system". 】"……Well!"

The amount of information in this sentence is too large, Zhi Xi couldn't react at all for a while, she just stared at the other party with wide eyes in disbelief - no wonder she felt that something had changed in her body when she just woke up , even breathing is a little easier than usual, the original reason is here!

"Really, really, Qi Mu-jun! I won't be coerced by it now..." She couldn't wait to turn over and get out of bed, waving her arms involuntarily and was about to throw herself on the boy, but the other party quickly covered her mouthed.

【Really, this is at your house. Did you shout so loudly early in the morning to let your family come in and hold a celebration party for you? 】Saiki Kusuo sighed helplessly, feeling a little moistness in his palm, he paused, put down his hand, and calmly poured cold water on the girl who was about to jump up, 【You are indeed out of the control of the system now, yes, But this is most likely only temporary. 】"……Eh!?"

[To put it a bit simpler, I let you out of control by modifying the program, so it can also be modified again, so as to control you again. ] Saiki Kusuo stared at the person whose eyes were still shining a second ago, and suddenly withered, paused, and added: 【But this is only a possibility.The greater probability is that it will try to kill you in other ways. ] Zhi Xi: "..."

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was the other party's comfort or gloating.

[It's getting late, I'm going back to school. 】 Qi Mu glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up a little bit and was about to launch a teleportation, but the girl grabbed his arm in the next second.

Zhi Xi grabbed his hand loosely and shook it slightly.

"Thank you," she smiled, the corners of her lips raised slightly, in the morning light, like two pink petals joined together, the smile was very shallow, not coquettish, nor frivolous , but a satisfied and grateful smile.

Zhi Xi looked directly at the young man in front of him, his gaze seemed warm, "I'm really happy and grateful——the Qi Mu-kun in this world is completely stranger to me, so there is no need to intervene in this matter—I know Kusuo-kun But in order not to attract attention, I tried my best to avoid all troubles."

She used different titles when referring to the two, and Saiki Kusuo's eyes darkened slightly after noticing this, without showing any emotion on his face, he just quietly waited for her to finish speaking.

Zhixi let go of his hand, took a small step back, and kept a polite but not distant distance from Saiki Kusuo, "If possible, I would like to ask Saiki-kun to thank Kusuo-kun for me—I I didn't expect him to be so interested in my affairs, I was really surprised and very touched... And, I would like to treat you to a meal, Qi Mu-jun, as a thank you gift for all of this."

The silhouette of Saiki Kusuo is facing the sunlight, looking down, the expression in the eyes blocked by the lens is unclear, only the shadow of eyelashes can be vaguely seen, like the tail feathers of a blue bird falling on the handsome and thin cheeks , in Zhixi's view, it was a calm but gentle expression.

【It’s just a small matter, and please, I’m in a parallel world, and to a certain extent, I did it voluntarily,” he turned his body sideways, as if he was ready to leave at any time, 【There’s no need to eat. ] Zhi Xi tilted her head, she was not surprised by such an answer, "Then, as a gift in return, can I invite Qi Mu-jun to eat enough at the most delicious dessert shop?"

【…】

【when? 】

Inside the office of the President of the Student Union of Luoshan High School.

The pen in Akashi Seijuro's hand paused for a moment, and he marked a small dot on the white paper.

He put down the pen, turned his head, and looked at the person sitting at the desk. She seemed to be concentrating on reading the exercise in front of her, but the corners of her red lips raised uncontrollably a little, and then a little— —Then squeezed her lips together as if she was afraid of being discovered.

After a while, there was a slight humming sound.

"You are very happy."

Zhixi, who was sketching the blueprint for the future in his mind, was caught off guard by Akashi's cool voice.

"Uh, ok, ok."

Zhi Xi shrank her shoulders slightly in fright, clenched the pen in her hand, and frowned her thin eyebrows, as if she was concentrating on the topic in front of her.

"It's been half an hour since you came here. If I remember correctly, you haven't turned the page yet." Akashi was noncommittal, exposed her mercilessly, then turned the chair to face her, and said in a leisurely way: "Say Well, did something good happen?"

"Hmm... probably because I woke up and found that I was one step closer to realizing my wish." Zhixi thought for a while, and decided not to tell Akashi about the existence of the system—to be precise, no one but Saiki Kusuo He doesn't know, and the reason he knows is because he can read minds.

This matter is too troublesome, and others are not very helpful. Zhixi doesn't know how Akashi thinks of herself, but if she changes her position, her friend is in big trouble and she can't do anything about it. It's not a good thing.

Akashi didn't answer, but changed his sitting position to let himself relax a bit, propped his chin with his left hand obliquely, and stared at her flatly.

"After the wish comes true, what's Zhixi's plan?" After a while, he asked.

Zhi Xi was stunned.

In the few seconds of silence just now, she had already had several expectations about the question that Akashi might ask, but she never expected that this would be the first question he would ask.

As if seeing what was going on in her mind at the moment, Akashi closed his jaw slightly, "Because about why you have such a wish and how to realize it - all of this, Zhixi didn't intend to tell me, did she? "

"...Well." Zhi Xi felt a little sorry for being so bluntly said, she placed it on the desk and unconsciously fell on her legs, and slowly clenched her fists, "Because... it's not something worth talking about, There is no need to trouble Akashi-kun."

She looked away and stopped looking at him, "But Akashi-kun really asked me, I haven't thought about what I'm going to do when my wish comes true."

This world is so big, she is just the smallest and most ordinary one, if she lived to complete the task before this, then what is she living for after this?

Own, will?

Where does this will point to?

"If you can't think of it, let's put it away for now."

The warm sun at noon passed through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and soaked the entire room. Outside the windows, there were clouds slowly flowing in the clean blue sky.

The wind rustled the leaves.

Akashi Seijuro picked up the pen again, and something tense in his voice loosened, "If there is no place to go, staying here is a good choice."

Zhi Xi didn't speak.She couldn't figure out whether the "here" he was referring to was this world or what.

The two returned to the way they were at the beginning, quietly doing their own things in this not-so-spacious office.Zhi Xi looked at the red notes on the exercise book, the handwriting was thin and sharp, but the strokes were written very neatly, seemingly effortless.

"By the way," as if thinking of something suddenly, Akashi stopped the pen in his hand again, turned his head and said, "We have a basketball game with another school this weekend, do you want to watch it?"

"After all, you are now the manager of the basketball department."
