Chapter 255: Chapter 203: Some People Take Life Too Seriously (5000 words!)_3

"..." Nakajima Michika.

Nakajima Michika suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

Whether good or bad, this girl always looked on the bright side.

In front of such a person, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat ashamed.

She had been playing with life all year, having no reverence for it, so the words of Dubian Kyoko struck her deeply.

"You really are an optimistic person, Kyoko."

"People who know me always say that."

Dubian Kyoko blinked, "Actually, I used to be very pessimistic. But it was during that time that I found the strength to overcome my low spirits in your songs, Michika."

"I’m not the kind of person who can give strength to others."

Nakajima Michika said with a mix of amusement and dejection, "But I truly admire you, Kyoko. You’re amazing to be able to smile in such a difficult situation. I couldn’t do it. I’m almost like a dead person."

She sighed deeply.

But no one expected Dubian Kyoko’s gaze to become calm as she directly asked,

"Is it because of leukemia, Michika?"

Watching Nakajima Michika’s shocked expression as she looked up, Dubian Kyoko continued,

"I indeed found strength in your singing a long time ago."

Humans are very emotional creatures.

Sometimes just a classic movie, an interesting animation, a heartfelt phrase, or a soothing song can inspire or bring tears.

What Dubian Kyoko said was all true.

She felt nothing but pure gratitude towards Nakajima Michika, not only for who she is now but also for who she was before.

In the silent atmosphere, Dubian Kyoko slowly said,

"When I was in high school, my parents died in a construction accident. Michika, can you understand what that feels like?"

"My world collapsed. When my parents’ friends visited, they told me to be strong, but I felt like I couldn’t make it. I stopped attending school and spent days in my bed crying, and even thought that dying might solve everything."

"At that time, what accompanied me was your song ’The Shape of Flowers.’ I can’t say that it alone helped me climb out of my depression—that would be an exaggeration— but that song definitely gave me strength."

Dubian Kyoko laughed, "Ever since then, whenever I face hardships in life, I think—"

"How could the current difficulties be worse than those times? Since I got through that period, how can I not overcome this hurdle?"

"I can sense your feelings, Michika, but at the same time, I must say something."

Dubian Kyoko’s gaze enveloped Nakajima Michika with gentleness,

"When a person starts thinking about death, it means she has lived too genuinely."

Her soft voice fell.

Nakajima Michika’s lips trembled slightly, and her fingers involuntarily clenched her clothes.

She exhaled deeply, and a bit of vigor returned to her handsome and spirited face.

When a person starts thinking about death, it indicates she has lived too genuinely.

Because she takes everything too seriously, when failure arrives, she cannot accept the outcomes.

She couldn’t help but bitterly smile, "I wonder if he would forgive me if I apologize to him now?"

Nakajima Michika thought of Beichuan Si; she had been living in his house for over a week and was very aware of his attitude towards her.

He had always been trying to convey something to her, and she had been constantly avoiding his kindness.

That was disrespectful to Beichuan Si’s goodwill and to his consistent efforts.

Nakajima Michika also knew that Beichuan Si disliked speaking sentimental words; he always acted and stayed on his path.

"Let’s properly apologize to Mr. Beichuan tomorrow, Michika," suggested Dubian Kyoko from behind.

"Uh...? I don’t think I told you his name, did I, Kyoko?"

Nakajima Michika suddenly realized and looked at Dubian Kyoko.

"Um... er..." Faced with Michika’s questioning gaze, Dubian Kyoko twitched her mouth and awkwardly scratched her head.

The more Nakajima Michika looked, the more she felt something was off, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Did Mr. Beichuan make you say this to me?"

Hmm????

Dubian Kyoko drifted back a bit.

Nakajima Michika followed her.

"Uh..." Dubian Kyoko’s eyes dodged, and finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted, "I can’t do it anymore! Mr. Beichuan! Come out and help!"

As mentioned before, she was a very optimistic girl, but especially bad at lying.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si, who had been standing by Nakajima Michika’s door, shook his head silently and walked away without saying a word.

As he had expected, Dubian Kyoko, this girl, was indeed a treasure, utterly incapable of hiding anything.

However—

"The result this time should be good," Beichuan Si drank some water.

Nakajima Michika was a tough nut to crack, and Beichuan Si tapped into the guilt she felt towards Dubian Kyoko as a strategy.

But that did not mean that what Dubian Kyoko had just said was untrue.

Being saved by a song referred to the incident of Dubian Kyoko’s parents’ deaths and her recovery.

No wonder she had such an optimistic and positive disposition, having gone through such difficult times.

There really are such strange people in this world.

Not only are there cruel murderers like Sakurazaka Yuuki, Sanmu Puppet Factory Owner, and Seto Cheng, but also people like Sakura Yuki and Dubian Kyoko who are full of positivity towards their own lives.

Beichuan Si put on his headphones and for the first time squinted his eyes as he listened to a song.

The song title flickered on his phone screen—

"The Shape of Flowers."
