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

"I'm telling you, you've apologized so many times today, when are you going to properly apologize for what happened that day?"

Although it sounds outrageous, it's clear that they chose the Zisha teapot themselves, yet they're saying such things now.

But in order to find out the specific reasons why Lixi is not in a good state, these minor problems and mistakes should be understood and forgiven, right?

Ningzi turned her head again, this time looking in Lixi's direction.

"I…"

Is it coming?

Shiina Tatsuki felt her hands and feet were cold.

This was completely different from the scene she had rehearsed countless times in her mind! It was also different from the feeling she had when Toyokawa Shoko asked her the question before!

I didn't expect Ningzi to bring this up first... It seems Ningzi is still blaming herself...

Is Ningzi blaming herself so much because she thinks she bullied her older sister?

This…

Even so, you still treat me so gently?

Just like treating a normal friend, and even because of the blurred boundaries, Li Xi had the feeling: "Wow, they've been best friends for a long, long time!"

"I'm sorry..."

"Ladies, excuse me, would you like a pet necklace designed by us? We support private customization and personalized decorations."

The waitresses were dressed neatly and smartly in classic black and white uniforms.

Seeing the three of them slowly approaching, she politely began to introduce the products of her small shop.

"Huh? A pet necklace! Lixi, stop apologizing and shut up! I want to hear this... Keep talking! Don't mind this black-haired idiot."

"Oh, okay... Miss, do you need one of these? It's suitable for dogs or cats."

Ningzi pinched Lixi's lips, stopping him from apologizing.

Lixi's lips were very soft, just like her current temper.

Apologizing is so boring, and I already know all of this nobody's little schemes... Hmm, a pet necklace is definitely more interesting.

"We can engrave your name and phone number on the necklace so that if your pet gets lost, the kind person who finds it can find you using your name and phone number."

Ningzi jumped out of the shopping cart, stuffed the coat covering her into Lixi's arms, approached the saleswoman, and took the necklace from her hand.

The necklace has a soft, gentle feel to it and looks somewhat like sterling silver, but based on Xiangzi's personal guidance, it probably contains some other metals.

In terms of design, it's aesthetically pleasing. It has a chain-like structure, the necklace is very thin, and a blank metal plaque is the main part of the necklace.

It is indeed very suitable for some pets to wear... If you engrave the pet's name on it and wear it yourself, it seems to be a way to remember a deceased pet.

"It feels pretty good."

Ningzi handed the necklace to the little penguin and the little black dog, so that the two wallet ladies could also admire the item they were going to pay for later.

Is it a bit too extravagant to let wallets see what they need to buy before paying?

"Let me think... Ningzi, I actually quite like it, it's kind of interesting. Could you order one for me... no, two, um..."

Ningzi thought for a moment, and finally made a "three" shape with her fingers.

"Give me three, make them! Just engrave the four characters 'Toyokawa Ningko' on them."

"Okay, Ms. Toyokawa, please wait a moment."

While the shop assistant was busy with her work, Toyokawa Ningko glanced back at Shiina Tatsuki's neck.

Ugh, this is so boring. But... what would happen if Riki wore it?

This guy probably wouldn't wear it for himself, would he?

Not really interested, but I could give it a try... I'm so awful, so despicable, but...

Toyokawa Ningko blinked:

I really want to see Lixi wear it.

It's okay if I don't wear it, but mainly, I really want to see Lixi's expression when she receives the gift.

Will this guy make Zisha tea on the spot?

Chapter 71. And I, I actually hurt her like this.

Toyokawa Ningko winked mischievously at Shiina Tatsuki.

She looked just like a cute and playful girl next door.

The girl next door is a symbol of being harmless.

"What's wrong? Um..."

Lixi put down the necklace she was displaying with uncertainty, sensing that Ningzi's gaze carried a hint of ill intent.

Is it an illusion?

"It's nothing. I've noticed you two haven't chatted together in a long time, haven't you?"

Lixi looked at the lamp, and the lamp also shifted its gaze from Ningzi to Lixi.

"Yes."

"Ah."

Since the second semester of their third year of junior high school, Lixi and Deng, the former lead singer and drummer of the band Crychic, had hardly seen each other.

It's a bit awkward that we're all together again now.

"Then, I'll give each of you a small gift."

"Doing this will not only strengthen the bond between the two of you, but also enhance the relationship between the three of us. Isn't that great? It's a win-win situation."

That's great, but it's actually inaccurate.

It should be said: How boring!

How much can this actually pull Ningzi out of her boring slump? When you two fish receive my little gift, you'd better put in some effort and make some funny faces!

"Miss Toyokawa, your necklace."

Ningzi took the silver necklace without glancing at the salesperson again. She stood on tiptoe and admired the necklace with her name printed on it, using the steady light from above.

"Indeed, it's very suitable for dogs to wear."

Unfortunately, I don't have any pets, and I've never owned a dog.

Even though dogs are very obedient, I don't actually own one.

Why don't you own a dog?

I think I've raised them before.

I don't remember, who knows?

I might have raised them when I was a child, or I might have raised many more.

The three necklaces swirled in her hands, and Ningzi could feel the heat from the metal by rubbing them together quickly.

I once heard an adult say something... maybe it was my mother or Xiangzi who said it, I don't remember.

The gist of that passage was that you should get a puppy when your child is just born, so that when the child grows up, the puppy will teach them their first lesson about death.

When a child's pet dies, they can experience the temperature difference between a living and a dead animal by touching its remains.

Ningzi brought the necklace close to her face, feeling the warmth it generated from the friction.

If only I had a dog at home. It's such a waste and pointless thing to have ordered something like this on a whim.

Wait, I think I was thinking about something else just now.

Ningzi was confused; she couldn't quite remember why she had originally ordered these things.

Is it because it's interesting?

It's all the necklace's fault; it dragged my thoughts back to my distant childhood and hazy memories.

"Xiao Ning? Are you feeling unwell? There's water here...would you like a sip?"

Deng obediently took out a small bottle of mineral water from her bag, unscrewed the cap and wiped the bottle opening with her sleeve. She wanted to hand it to Ningzi but was a little shy to say it.

What should I do? I think I've already drunk from this bottle. I hope Ningzi won't mind.

"Thanks, I'll take some more medicine then."

Ningzi took the bottle of mineral water without a care in the world and skillfully took out a medicine bottle from her pocket.

Taking a few pills will definitely help me calm down.

I only ate a little bit, how big of a problem could it be?

They can't possibly feed me until I go insane, can they? Besides, I already have so many serious mental illnesses, they can't possibly feed me something new and complicated.

That's unrealistic, a bit outrageous.

The medicine bottle was in Ningzi's hands, but it also left an imprint on the eyes and hearts of some people.

"Wait, what's that? Ningzi, calm down..."

Lixi looked as if he had seen some kind of monstrous flood, and the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

She rushed forward and quickly snatched the small medicine bottle from Ningzi's hand.

"Don't do anything foolish... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... What, what kind of medicine is this...?"

The wound on my finger is hurting, but if it's just my finger that hurts, then thank goodness.

Lixi has two cuts on her fingers.

The wound covered a considerable area, and even though it had only scabbed over a few days ago, dark red blood clots could still be vaguely seen inside—a testament to Ningzi's clenched teeth.

The wound hurts so much, the wound hurts so much…

"Huh? Lixi, that's just cold medicine. What are you talking about? Give it back to me!"

Ningzi reached out her hand to ask for her life-saving medicine. It was the first time she had ever felt Shiina Tatsuki's level of stress so directly.

This little brat, did he suffer a head injury? He looks a bit delirious.

"Lixi, Xiaoning's medicine is indeed for treating colds."

Deng added quietly, expressing her concern that a new conflict had arisen between Lixi and Ningzi.

If that really happens, she will be very upset.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I... um..."

Lixi held the medicine bottle somewhat helplessly.

Lixi had serious doubts about whether the medicine in the bottle was actually a cold remedy.

She had never seen a cold medicine bottle with such a bright color before... and it felt very heavy, as if there were quite a few pills inside.

"Sigh, really, Lixi, are you paranoid? Don't scare the saleswoman."

Ningzi snatched the medicine bottle and naturally swallowed two pills with the water.

It didn't really help, but it made me feel a lot better.

"I'm sorry, I might have gone a bit too far."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded apologetically to the saleswoman, startled by her own sudden apology.

"Don't worry about that, Xiaodeng, Lixi, look over here."

Ningzi wiped the water stains from the corners of her lips with the back of her hand, and while quickly putting the medicine bottle into her small bag, she also took out the two necklaces she had just obtained.

"Xiao Lixi, don't you still owe me an apology?"

With Shiina Tatsuki looking puzzled, Ningzi stuffed the necklace into Tatsuki's hand.

Ningzi also gave the other one to the little penguin, who looked overwhelmed with delight and thought it tasted delicious.

"Take it, Lixi, keep it as a souvenir. If you accept it, I'll consider it forgiveness."

"I…"

"You can't refuse, this is my only request. If Lixi sees this necklace in the future, she'll think of me, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
