Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

"Ningzi?"

Mu blinked uncertainly.

Is there even a place for me in this house?

"Stop dawdling, you're such a good mother-in-law, you little rascal."

Toyokawa Ningko hugged Mutsu tightly, rested her chin on his shoulder blade, and whispered in his ear:

"Idiot Mutsu."

As Mu inhaled Ningzi's faint fragrance, he once again felt Ningzi's warmth.

So warm... Don't leave me...

Ch44. She has to apologize first!

"Are you sure you want to go to school today? Actually, it would be fine to rest at home for a few more days, since you were only discharged from the hospital a few days ago."

"No, I love studying. If I don't study for a day, I feel like there's dirt crawling all over my body."

"I noticed you didn't study yesterday either."

"So yesterday, Mu really did climb on me."

At the school gate, under the watchful eyes of a group of female students, the blue-haired sisters, hand in hand, chatted idly as they walked to school.

Ningzi's hairstyle today is still the same as Xiangzi's, mainly because Ningzi never ties her own hair and always relies on Xiangzi's skills.

Xiangzi's hairstyle is the same as Ningzi's, and since their clothes and appearances are very similar, strangers usually can't tell them apart unless they are very familiar with each other.

Of course, the shorter one is Ningzi, and Ningzi is also the one who often wears the wrong pair of underwear.

However, the most significant difference between the twins is that Ningzi gives people a feeling that she is much easier to get along with than Xiangzi.

No matter who she's facing, Ningzi's lips never droop, which often gives people who don't know her the feeling of "Oh, this person seems easy to get along with, she seems to have a good personality".

"Xiangzi, they all say we have a good relationship."

"Yes, it was fine to begin with."

"They also said that they were a little bit swaying us."

"Sisters shouldn't be together, right?"

I'm leaving now, don't miss me!

Near the classroom, Ningzi let go of Xiangzi's hand.

"Go ahead, I'll come see you after class. Don't wander off. If you need anything, just ask your teacher. Although I'll be keeping an eye on you, I still want to remind you to take your medicine at noon."

Okay, okay, you're really an annoying little fry, I know.

Ningzi stood at the front door of her classroom, pretended to be impatient, waved to the idiot Xiangzi a few times, and then quickly slipped into the classroom.

Good morning, Toyokawa-kun!

"Good morning."

"What did Toyokawa-kun eat for breakfast?"

"Rice balls! My sister made them herself!"

"Can you be my master?"

"Let's find another wise leader."

The female students in the classroom still chatted in small groups, but when you walked by, they would greet you with great enthusiasm.

This is the passionate Haneoka Girls' School.

Ningzi passed by the lamp's seat. The lamp hadn't arrived yet, and her empty seat was waiting for the girl who played with civil engineering to arrive.

"This is the first time I've seen a lamp arrive so late."

Could it be that the alarm clock was accidentally swallowed, causing it to still be fast asleep?

Miscellaneous fish and small lamps.

"That bad girl... I swear I won't talk to her today."

Not only did I ignore her during class this morning, but I also ignored her during lunch break, and I will continue to ignore her during class this afternoon... unless Deng apologizes to me and says she shouldn't have made me her meal replacement.

Yes, I also need to apologize properly; I did a really bad job before…

Lamp and Lixi saved me...

"However, Xiaodeng should apologize first, otherwise I won't speak first."

All of Ningzi's classmates had someone to talk to, but Ningzi was all alone.

The one who should belong to her has not yet arrived.

Ningzi is waiting for her little penguin to come and stick to her.

But where is that gray-haired idiot? Why hasn't he come yet?

The seconds ticked by, and Ningzi, bored, pulled out her phone and scrolled through her chat history with Deng.

Unread becomes read, but no reply is received... It's as if the other person has lost the ability to type due to severe injury.

Even after the school bell rang and the teacher had already opened the textbook and started the lesson, Ningzi still hadn't seen the lamp enter the classroom.

"This idiot, did he take leave? How could he do this?"

Ningzi stared at the empty table in front of her, feeling a void in her heart.

Shouldn't two people who deceive each other eventually grow to loathe each other? So why don't they feel relieved after the other person actually disappears?

Ningzi kicked off her indoor shoes with two small feet wrapped in white cotton socks, and her feet hooked onto the chair with the light fixture, pulling her backward.

If the lamp were still there, I wouldn't be able to pull it by myself. What a pity, the lamp...

"I'm sorry, teacher, something happened today... I'm late."

Halfway through class, Takamatsu Todoroki, sweating profusely from running, pushed open the classroom door. Her tie was unkempt, and her hair was disheveled, but what was most worrying was…

"Wow, Deng, you look terrible!!"

A female student sitting in the front row let out a soft scream, drawing all eyes to the lamp that looked like it might faint at any moment.

"Takamatsu, you can ask for a day off if you're not feeling well."

The teacher adjusted his glasses, his tone concerned.

"No need, thank you teacher... I'm fine."

Deng gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, panting heavily. Her already pale face was now frighteningly white from the excessive exercise.

"Little Light..."

Why is this usually perfect and adorable lamp now in such a sorry state?

Ningzi pulled her little feet back into her shoes. The feeling of touching the lamp and chair without shoes, only wearing socks... was quite strange... Hmm, suddenly she felt like she liked doing it this way.

As the lamp swayed closer to her, Ningzi quickly lowered her head to avoid its gaze. She pretended to be writing in her notebook, but what she actually wrote was:

Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me... No, why aren't you looking at me?

Ningzi glanced up at the lamp and noticed that it was also looking down, avoiding her gaze.

Wow, no wonder you're my wife... No, you're not my wife!

If you apologize to me... it's not that I can't forgive you.

Ningzi fumbled for the small medicine bottle in her pocket, thinking to herself that this stuff was really effective.

My current mental state is simply invincible.

After a good night's sleep last night, I felt like all my worries had been resolved.

I'll smile every day from now on!

Deng took his seat, and there was no eye contact between him and Ningzi. Ningzi could clearly see the fine beads of sweat on the inside of Deng's hair.

You little punk, you're actually avoiding me?!

After a boring half-class, Ningzi rested her chin on her hand, waiting for the get out of class to end so she could have a proper chat with Deng.

But as soon as the bell rang, the lights suddenly shot out, showing no intention of staying in the classroom.

Hey! Slow down!

Chapter 45. I won't take sleeping pills next time.

"Hey! Little Lamp! Wait for me!"

Toyokawa Ningko shoved aside the female classmate blocking her way and chased after Takamatsu Akira, who was running wildly in the corridor.

Halfway there, her hair was already disheveled, and her hairband abandoned Ningzi at a certain corner, choosing to fly towards a tree branch.

Despite her desperate pursuit, Ningzi could only catch a glimpse of Dengdeng's back in the distance.

No way, is this woman a marathon champion? Last time she dragged me across eight streets and I wasn't even out of breath. How can she run like this again?

I feel like you really had a tough time making a cameo appearance in this girl band anime, Hanmadeng.

The athlete, Gao Song, was still running. His agile figure glided through the corridor and around the corner, disappearing in just a moment.

"Ah this..."

Ningzi stood panting in the courtyard, hands on her hips. She had chased them from the classroom to the playground, and then from the playground to the astronomy club. During that time, no fewer than fifty classmates witnessed their two astonishing marathons.

Wow... Being stared at like that by so many people is a really awful experience. If I ever catch this nobody, I'll definitely pin her to the ground and humiliate her!

"Little Lamp! Where are you! Come out quickly! I have something to tell you!"

"..."

Ningzi saw the light and ran this way, seemingly jumping into a patch of grass.

This little native sprite from Yuu-oka is really good at hiding.

Toyokawa Ningko supported her knees to regain her strength. Years of lack of exercise had left her with poor, even terrible, physical fitness.

The recent campus marathon almost sent her to hell to become an exchange student.

"Hey, Light, I see you! Don't hide anymore!"

The grass not far away trembled, but quickly returned to calm.

"Pfft."

Ningzi, feigning discomfort, clutched her chest and called out to the haystack from which the noise had just occurred:

"Ah, my old illness has flared up again, and my heart feels so bad! I'm going to die, Dengdeng! See you in the next life!"

Then she gently lay back, as if she had gone into cardiac arrest.

"Xiao Ning!"

Sure enough, this trick works!

Just as Ningzi was struggling to get up from the lamp, the lamp's little head indeed peeked out from the grass.

Yes, she still cares about me.

Ningzi simply stopped pretending, hastily patted her skirt a few times, got up from the ground, and leaped into the bushes.

She had to catch this stupid penguin... What did this idiot think he was, running away all morning... He didn't even apologize, just ran off without saying goodbye!

Ningzi's school uniform skirt was torn by a sharp branch, and she rushed into the bushes without hesitation, finally grabbing Deng's shoulder.

In this small space, surrounded by bushes on three sides and a wall on one side, Ningzi looked down at the lamp:

"What are you running for?"

"..."

Ningzi pulled the lamp away forcefully, but she didn't say anything, she just turned her head to one side.

Deng wanted to stay away from Ningzi. Xiangzi had warned himself from the beginning that he would hurt Ningzi.

I didn't believe it at first...

But last Friday, due to her mistake, Ningzi met Lixi... and ultimately witnessed the tragedy unfold...

The lamp admitted she was scared.
