How can my simulation be a real love?

Even now, her worries and anxieties have not lessened in the slightest.

It was as if, as soon as Takamatsu Akari stopped what she was doing, she would immediately recall the scene she had seen in her 'dream': Kazami Naru, who collapsed from exhaustion after the performance.

That image seemed etched into her very bones, lingering in her mind constantly.

The little penguin was very worried.

I was filled with worry and deep regret.

I had met Kazami Naruto once before, so why didn't I notice the problem with him? I had told myself countless times to pay attention to his body at all times, but I still couldn't notice it this time.

"That's true. We need to confirm the specifics no matter what."

"confirm?"

A glint of light flashed in Chihaya Aine's bright gray eyes, and her words made Takamatsu Akari blink in confusion.

At this moment, Miss Aine felt incredibly clever, having come up with such a brilliant plan at such a time. A smug smile appeared on her lips, and her cute little tiger teeth seemed to gleam faintly in the sunlight.

"Of course! I'll go and confirm it myself!"

She knows exactly where Kazami Mei lives!

Aside from Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri, only Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari knew this information!

In addition, after the band's live performance ended, Kazami Mei focused almost all his energy on this live performance, so he naturally didn't have as much contact with Kita Ikuyo as before, and the information that he was sick today certainly didn't leak out!

Kita definitely doesn't know about this!

Isn't this a perfect opportunity?

"Dengdeng! Shall we go straight to Mingming's house to find him?"

At this moment, the feminine charm she had painstakingly cultivated came in handy. As long as she took good care of him with care and gentleness, wouldn't Kazami's affection for her skyrocket?

"Go straight there..."

Takamatsu was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded vigorously.

"I'm going."

Chapter Two: Right now, here?!

Chihaya Aine possesses exceptionally strong initiative.

As a popular girl with a positive outlook, she immediately took action the moment she sensed this opportunity. With an excited heart, she went to the door of Kazami Naruto's small apartment and gently knocked on the door with her trembling little hand.

She waited for a while but nothing happened, which made her a little puzzled.

"Strange, why hasn't Mingming come to open the door yet?"

"Ming... what if we can't open the door?"

The anxiety in Takamatsu Akira's eyes, standing beside him, seemed almost tangible.

She instinctively felt fear and panic at the inability to contact Kazami Mei. As her mood gradually declined, she even started pacing in circles, which made Aine a little panicked as well.

"That shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Although it was just a simple question, Miss Aine's tone clearly carried a hint of worry.

"I'll knock on the door again!"

"If they don't open it, then call an ambulance immediately!"

Just as the two were frantically trying to figure things out, a 'click' sound came from the iron door of the apartment in front of them. Kazami Mei, wearing a loose black and blue pajama, frowned slightly as she opened the door.

The moment the three locked eyes, an eerie silence fell over the air for a few seconds.

“Ming-ming!”

A hint of joy flashed in Chihaya Aine's eyes, and her worries and tension vanished instantly.

"Honestly! I almost thought something had happened to you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chihaya Aine noticed Kazami Mei's current state.

At this moment, Kazami Mei was completely different from her usual arrogant self.

His face was pale, almost bloodless, and his lips were visibly cracked. His once thick, black, shoulder-length hair was disheveled and he looked extremely tired and weak.

"Can lamps even have loving sounds?"

Kazami Mei, fighting off her drowsiness, asked softly, her hoarse voice causing the two girls' expressions to change immediately.

“I heard from Lixi that you were sick, so I decided to come and visit you with Dengdeng.”

"Mingming, you look terrible right now."

A hint of worry appeared in Chihaya Aine's eyes.

Facing the two girls in front of him, Kazami Mei said weakly, "Maybe a little."

To be honest, his current condition is far from good.

He had been lying unconscious in bed, unable to move freely. Upon hearing the doorbell, he instinctively got up to open the door, only to find Miss Aine and Xiao Bideng standing outside. His mind was still a bit dazed, and he couldn't quite process what was happening.

"Well……"

The moment Takamatsu Akari saw Kazami Mei, a look of relief and joy immediately appeared on her face.

The tension that filled her mind receded quickly like a tide, and her taut nerves gradually relaxed, but the tears welling up in her eyes due to excessive anxiety remained.

Fortunately, Ming is alright now.

While feeling incredibly fortunate, Takamatsu Akari noticed Kazami Mei's sickly complexion. Realizing that he hadn't noticed Kazami Mei's illness, a wave of regret and annoyance washed over him again.

What am I actually doing?

Even though she was someone who was so close to him.

Takamatsu Akari pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, her expression seemingly filled with confusion.

She clenched her right fist tightly against her heart, her eyes overflowing with sorrow. A surge of regret and unease welled up within her, causing her to involuntarily take a step forward—

"Eh?"

Then, as Chihaya Aine's eyes widened, Takamatsu Akari suddenly took two steps forward and gently hugged him.

Their bodies quickly pressed tightly together. This sudden intimacy made Kazami Ming's movements a little stiff. The timid little lantern hugged him tightly, making his drowsy mind clear for a moment.

"Very good……"

Takamatsu Akari pursed her lips tightly, her hands holding Kazami Mei trembled slightly, and even her amber eyes, which always carried a hint of sorrow, were filled with layers of glistening mist.

She closed her eyes and buried her head completely in Kazami's arms, trying to gain a sense of security from him.

I'm scared, really scared.

Takamatsu was afraid of repeating the same mistake.

She hates separation and sadness, and absolutely never wants to experience that again.

"Wait a minute, light, if you're this close, I'll catch your cold..."

"..."

The usually well-behaved and obedient Xiao Bideng now chose to remain silent, burying her head in her chest, neither answering nor letting go of Feng Jianming.

Because she felt as if he would disappear from her sight again if she let go.

Seeing Xiao Bideng's expression, Feng Jianming immediately understood her thoughts.

Perhaps in Takamatsu's eyes, he was a 'breach of promise' in some sense?

Before this, Kazami Mei had made a promise to her.

No matter what happens, never force yourself to do something against your will.

Perhaps she felt that Kazami Mei's recent illness was due to overwork, and she felt extremely regretful for not noticing his physical condition and not taking good care of him.

As a result, whenever she sees Kazami Mei, she acts like a little penguin hiding in her parents' arms, only able to express her feelings with clumsy and straightforward actions, yet this has a strong effect on Kazami Mei.

He sighed softly and spoke gently to Takamatsu Akari in front of him, "I didn't get sick because of the workload; I just caught a chill from not paying attention."

"..."

Gao Songdeng still did not respond.

"I didn't force myself, and it wasn't the lamp's fault that I didn't notice."

This time, Takamatsu seemed to respond more readily.

She gently nuzzled her head against Kazami's chest, her light and soft hair exuding a faint fragrance, and revealed her eyes, which were slightly moist like autumn water.

"I have a slight fever now."

"Perhaps I need someone to help take care of me. I wonder if Xiaodeng could help me a little?"

Kazami gently stroked the girl's soft, smooth, light gray hair, hugged the small lamp in front of him tightly, and whispered words of comfort. The girl's soft, slender, warm body seemed to make him feel a little more energetic.

At the same time, her soft words made Gao Songdeng's shoulders tremble even more.

"...Ming, you haven't forgotten?"

"Of course I'll remember it for a lifetime."

Agreements are very important.

Only after hearing those words did a faint smile appear on the girl's lips.

Just as she was about to nod to indicate that she 'accepted the mission,' Chihaya Aine, who had been squinting beside her, took a deep breath, then revealed her sharp little fangs and gently pulled Takamatsu Akari away from Kazami Mei's arms.

Her lovely face was filled with a look of resentment.

This should be my spot!

When Kazami Mei opened the door, Chihaya Aine should have just rushed over and given her a big hug!

I never expected that in that moment of distraction, Xiao Bideng would steal the spotlight from me. What's worse, Mingming comforted her without any resistance, completely ignoring his own girlfriend.

This is a right that should only be enjoyed by a girlfriend!

"Mingming is currently suffering from a fever and a cold. Dengdeng, it will make him very uncomfortable if you hold him like this!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Takamatsu realized that what she was doing was indeed bad for the patient. Her amber eyes were immediately filled with panic and regret. She quickly let go of Kazami Mei's hands and stood timidly to the side.

Their pitiful appearance was just like that of a child who had made a mistake in front of their parents.

Seeing this scene, Miss Aine's jealousy and dissatisfaction immediately turned into panic.

"Dengdeng, I didn't mean that... I just think Mingming should rest more now, we need to help! Holding him all the time will affect his rest..."

"Well!"

Takamatsu nodded vigorously, agreeing with Miss Ai's opinion.

Kazami Mei had absolutely no reason to refuse.

After all, his agreement with Xiaodeng was that he would rely on her if he encountered any difficulties, and he had just asked her if she could help him, so now he had no choice but to obediently accept.

Since things have come to this point, all we can do is lie down and enjoy it.

"Then I'll trouble you to prepare lunch for me this afternoon. I'm going to take a nap first..."

Perhaps because she had just exhausted all her strength, Kazami Naru, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, gave a weak reply and then turned to walk towards her bedroom.

……

Seeing Kazami Naru lying back in bed, Chihaya Aine slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her light gray, bright eyes to look at Takamatsu Toki, who was sitting upright beside her, and gently placed a finger to her cherry blossom-like lips, speaking slowly in the softest, most delicate tone—

"Listen up, Dengdeng! Absolutely, absolutely do not disturb Mingming's rest!"

"Ok!"

Takamatsu frowned, clenched her little fists, and put on a serious expression.

Although this was her first time taking care of a weak patient, she would do her best to fulfill her responsibilities, no matter what difficult task Miss Aine asked her to do, in order to help Ming recover as soon as possible.
