Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

Hearing this, I felt a surge of displeasure.

"Hmph! All you can think about is how to punish me, can you?"

"Ah."

Unlike usual, Chizuru's answer this time was very calm, as if she was still responding to the dream she had just had.

"And then? What happened after I went back to school?"

Honestly, now that I'm here, I don't understand why this is a nightmare.

"Then you didn't go back to school, and I got really scared, thinking you might have gone missing."

"So, am I missing?"

"No." Qianyin shook her head.

This made me even more confused. I didn't disappear, so why did it turn into a nightmare?

"You were missing for a year, and during that year I thought about you every single day, but I just couldn't hear from you at all. I was so worried back then, sob..."

After saying that, Qianyin sobbed twice more, and at this moment she was no different from a fragile little girl.

Sigh, it really is...

"Don't cry, don't cry. Really, it was just a dream about me disappearing, why are you crying like this..."

As I spoke, I gently stroked her hair, unsure if this would have any effect on her.

But upon hearing my words, Chiyomi immediately retorted, her voice suddenly becoming much louder than before.

"What do you mean by just dreaming about you disappearing? And what makes me even sadder is yet to come."

"Well, tell me."

I continued to stroke her hair, listening intently.

Chiyomi closed her eyes again, her uneasy hand gripping me tightly, as if afraid I would run away.

"After you disappeared, I became like a block of wood, absent-minded. I would think of you halfway through doing anything, and I would often space out thinking about you, which caused me to mess up a lot of things."

Hearing Qianyin say that, I felt both gratified and inexplicably sad.

I am gratified because I hold such a heavy place in her heart.

And the sadness probably stems from the fact that I hold such a heavy place in her heart...

They can't work or live a normal life without me...

"Go on, I'm listening. But don't be sad now. I didn't disappear. I was by your side all night, and we even slept in the same bed."

I gently stroked Qianyin's soft hair and soothed her softly.

Even if she's a pervert, she's still a girl after all...

In this way, I am now certain that although she has become a pervert, she is still the sensitive and delicate Chizuru I knew before her rebirth.

"Yes, you're still here with me, right now, leaning against me."

Chiyomi's expression relaxed considerably, but she still showed a hint of tension.

Well, let's take it slow. If it's about comforting her, I'm willing to give it my all.

So, Chiyomi continued to recount her nightmare.

"Then...then when I saw you again, you were already Ning Xueyang's wife, holding the child you had with her, and you came to me."

At this point, Qianyin's tone became much heavier.

But when I heard this outrageous dream, my first thought was that I had misheard.

"Huh?! Wait, wait a minute! I've become Ning Xueyang's wife? And I even had her child?"

But then I realized it was a dream, and it made sense, so I added another sentence.

"Your dream is too outrageous..."

Qianyin looked at me with a puzzled expression, "What's so outrageous about it?"

After a moment, she seemed to remember something and asked me again.

"You mean you'll have her child?"

"Yeah, I'm a girl now, and she's a girl too. How can I have a baby for her? Do you expect her to grow that thing by taking some kind of medicine, like in those movies?"

"No, you've been reborn for so long, don't you know?"

In this world, a woman's bodily fluids also contain sperm, which can impregnate another woman.

I was shocked to hear that.

"Huh? Girls' bodily fluids can also contain semen?"

After saying that, I immediately opened my phone and checked...

Wow, she can actually get pregnant?

Does that mean I'll be at risk of getting pregnant by those perverted men in the future?

"So I knew I'd be heartbroken afterward, but I still wanted to take you back from Ning Xueyang, even if it meant you hated me..."

He even risked being disliked by me...

Using the word "at all costs" here... what an idiot!

"And then, did you succeed?"

"I failed. No matter how hard I tried to keep you, in the end I could only watch you leave me in sadness and despair, and throw yourself into Ning Xueyang's arms..."

Although I wasn't fired afterward, seeing you and Ning Xueyang being so loving every day was like a knife to my heart. In the end, I resigned and left, and you never appeared in my sight again..."

After saying that, Qianyin moved her head off my shoulder and gazed at me affectionately with her watery eyes.

"So, returning at night..."

I don't expect you to end up with me, but at least, don't make me face that kind of thing...

At least, can we just let things stay this way?

I closed my eyes, and after a moment of thought, I finally had my answer.

"Yes, I will always be by your side."

So don't be sad because of your dream...

Chiyomi didn't answer, but leaned on my shoulder and closed her eyes.

The two nestled together quietly, as if time had stood still at that moment...

117. Hmph! Just now, I wasn't seducing her at all!

"Alright, is that enough now? We'll be late if we stay any longer."

I looked at Qianyin and pouted helplessly.

Chizuru opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat dazed as she looked at me, but it cleared up after a moment, and she returned my gaze with a faint smile.

"Hehe, too."

She let go of me and got out of bed.

"What an idiot! It's just a dream, why are you crying like this?"

I got out of bed, somewhat speechless. No matter how scary it is, as long as you know it's fake, it doesn't matter, right?

"Oh dear, isn't this the feeling I got from that dream? It's too real, isn't it? So..."

"Alright, that's enough. Now that it's over, get back to school quickly, you idiot!"

I interrupted her and then got out of bed.

A real dream?

It's all a dream, how can it be real? Strange words!

Anyway, I've finally comforted her, and the weight on my heart has been lifted. Otherwise, I might have been thinking about this all day...

"Alright, let's wash up and go straight to school by taxi."

I messaged Mo Yu and Mo Tao to let them leave first. You certainly don't want them to see you looking sad, do you?

I put my hands on my hips and said, quite annoyed.

"Hehe, Teacher Guiye is so thoughtful, he even thought of this."

Qianyin chuckled and walked to the washbasin.

"Hmph, of course!"

Don't you even realize that if I can't even think of this, how can I be the king of the harem?

"Alright, enough talk. It's my morning self-study session today, I need to get there quickly! I'll order takeout for breakfast when I get to school."

I checked the time before. If we take the time it took Mo Yu to bring us here after get off work yesterday as the standard, and factor in the time spent in traffic during rush hour, we should be able to get to the start of morning self-study in about the last minute after washing up.

This guy is really something. There was plenty of time before, but now he even has to squeeze in breakfast at school.
