Live With A Smile

Chapter 8

October 5th, Saturday. Thanks to the weather forecast, it was a very sunny day.

Yūki arrived at the Sawada family a little too early. She arrived at 7: 30 am.

Although she appeared to be a little impatient, her goal was set from the beginning, and that was — — Sawada's mother's breakfast!

Yūki, who arrived early with an ulterior motive, was welcomed by Sawada's mother as expected.

Or rather, as long as it was a girl who came to the Sawada family, Sawada's mother would be very enthusiastic.

Yūki, who was sitting at the dining table, was secretly happy about her decision to come over for breakfast. She opened her school bag and started to draw the key points based on her memory of tutoring Sawada last time.

Freeloading breakfast was one thing, and making a promise to someone was another.

Then, she heard a loud bang coming from upstairs.

Yūki was speechless. What was wrong with Sawada?

Every time she came to his house alone, did she have to make some noise?

Sawada's mother, who was in the kitchen, couldn't free her hands. She turned around and said to Yūki, "Komori, can you please go upstairs and call Ah Gang down for breakfast?

Can you also call Leibaun down? "

It's … it's wrapped inside.

Two options popped up in Yūki's mind. She struggled in her mind for a long time before she resolutely put aside her fear and went to the second floor for breakfast.

The Sawada family's living arrangements were a little strange. Yūki only found out recently.

The last time she came, she met two five-year-old children, a slightly older child, and Bi Yang Qi.

Before Leibaun came here, only the mother and son were there. So, these extra people were probably related to Sawada's secret identity.

When she thought of this, Yūki felt goosebumps on her back.

She wasn't afraid of death, but it was still annoying to die without her own will and for no reason.

Yūki went to the second floor and looked at the door number. Just as she was about to knock on Sawada's door, she realized that he didn't even close the door.

After thinking for a few seconds, she pulled the door and knocked twice. "Sawada, it's time for breakfast."

There was a very panicked voice coming from inside. She even heard Sawada's screams. It sounded like hell on the other side of the door..

It can't be, right? Is Sawada really that useless?

Yūki, who was a little worried, said, "I'm opening the door" and opened the door.

Then, he saw Sawada trying to stuff a male corpse under the bed.

Xiji said, "Sorry, I didn't see anything." She slammed the door shut.

"No!

Wait, Komori, let me explain! "Sawada rushed over and grabbed the door. His face was red with anxiety.

"No, no, no, an explanation is a cover-up. A cover-up is the truth … The truth is that someone died in your room!!"

Yūki was also red with anxiety. She tried her best to explain, "Sawada, didn't you think that your mother would be sad?!"

At this moment, Sawada's heart was breaking down.

He shook his head and said, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Komori, calm down and listen to me first! "

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening." Yūki also began to shake her head. She shook her head so much that her face was almost blurry.

"No, listen."

"Bang — —!"

A gunshot interrupted their argument and calmed them down at the same time.

Yūki wiped her face and looked at Leibaun who was holding a gun in the room. She decided not to continue acting and walked into the room.

"Huh."

She cried out in surprise. She walked closer to the corpse and began to carefully examine it. She turned around and asked Sawada, "Sawada, how did you kill this person?"

Sawada broke down and replied, "I didn't kill him. When I woke up, he appeared on my bed."

"Cao, Cao Cao?

Killing someone in a dream? "

Yūki rolled her eyes. She clearly didn't believe Sawada's nonsense even though it was true, "This corpse is very strange, you better call the police immediately."

"Why?"

With Sawada's level, he could only feel that this person was no longer breathing. His body was stiff and cold.

Yes, he should be dead.

Yūki turned over the corpse's hair and clothes to see if there were any external injuries. She explained, "Although this is a corpse, I can't find a direct cause of death.

There are no external injuries on the body and no obvious signs of poisoning.

Other than the body temperature being lower than normal, it doesn't feel like a corpse, more like a shock. "

"Komori, how do you know so much?" Sawada asked in confusion.

"Naturally, you will know more by reading more. Our school's library has Sherlock Holmes and many Benge mystery novels. If you want, I can recommend you a few."

Yūki pried open the corpse's mouth. This person had a frightened expression. It felt like his heart had stopped. "There's nothing in his throat and there's nothing on his teeth. This person didn't eat breakfast either. It must be hard in the morning."

Sawada, who sensed that something was wrong, quickly asked, "But didn't he die in the morning?"

Yūki closed the corpse's eyes and shook her head, "Wake up. You never use your brain when you study. How can the body temperature drop so quickly when he died in the morning? Even his face is blue.

If you really killed him, it would have been at least yesterday morning.

You didn't skip class yesterday morning, right? "

Sensing Yūki's poisonous tongue, which was only directed at men, Sawada shook his head, "No." Wait, this means, "I really didn't kill this person, Leibaun!"

Ribowen, who had been mentioned, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Killing people from a distance, impressive.

You really are my disciple. "

Sawada, "…" He was an idiot for counting on Leibaun!

It was obvious that he was the one who did this!

"But how did you kill him?"

Yūki pried open the corpse's eyelids again and asked in a puzzled voice, "What's wrong with this person's eyes?

He died yesterday. Shouldn't they be murky now? Why are they still so clear?

Sawada, can I dig out this person's eyeballs? "

Sawada was dumbfounded, "What?"

Yūki's fingers rested on the corpse's eyelids as if she could dig them out with just a little bit of force, "The biggest loophole in this corpse is the eyeballs. I suspect that someone made this fake corpse to scare you.

Maybe you can see the internal structure after digging out the eyeballs … "

Every time Yūki died, she wouldn't wake up immediately the next day. Her consciousness would temporarily leave her body, allowing her to see her own corpse from a third person's perspective.

The probability of this happening wasn't low. She had encountered it several times and felt particularly strange when she looked at her own corpse.

Therefore, when she saw this corpse, she couldn't help but think about how she treated her own corpse and was prepared to do it directly.

"No, forget it." Leibaun spoke at this moment.

"It's time to go downstairs for breakfast. Someone will clean up this corpse after this."

Sawada, who was forced to brainstorm, quickly asked, "Who will clean it up?"

"Skylark."

"…" x2

Forget it, forget it. Go downstairs for breakfast.

What kind of corpse was there? There was no corpse at all!

After breakfast downstairs, Yūki and Sawada didn't choose to go upstairs. Instead, they sat in the living room with serious expressions and started the study session.

"Kōyūki, you're early."

Kyoko, who had just arrived, saw the dignified and awkward atmosphere as soon as she entered the living room. It was obviously a study session, but they were doing their own questions and didn't communicate at all.

Yūki nodded with a pale face as a greeting.

"You don't look well. Did something happen?"

"No, nothing."

Yūki shook her head. Even when Bi Yang Qi appeared in the living room, her expression didn't change. It was enough to show that she didn't look well.

In any case, Leibaun actually asked Skylark to clean up the corpse. This was really … too suffocating!

After that, Sawada conveyed the news to Yūki that the corpse was actually played by a living person. This gave Yūki a new understanding of corpses, and she once again immersed herself in reading.

"Komori -san, why are you interested in that kind of thing?"

"I want to be a forensic doctor in the future. A profession that can carry out justice without standing on the front lines."

"…"

Sawada decided to keep a certain distance from Komori because he still had the tag of the 10th generation Penglie on his head!

Although he didn't want it!

In the morning, she did homework at the Sawada family. In the afternoon, she went shopping with Kyoko and enjoyed a freshly baked lemon cake with the Koharu girl at the cake shop. Yūki could be said to be having a good time today.

When it was almost four o 'clock, Yūki waved goodbye to Kyoko because she had something to do.

She was going to welcome an online friend today. Calculating the time, she should be arriving in Jiansheng.

This online friend was the friend from China who had poisoned her for many years. She always taught her some inexplicable China Internet, Neta, and forced Yūki to learn how to cook Chinese food.

Now, this sinful online friend finally said that she would come to Jiansheng to hang out with her. She could finally get her revenge up close.

Taking out her phone to confirm the location of this online friend, Yūki directly took a taxi and rushed over.

In her heart, she had a lot of expectations for this "amiable and cute" online friend. For example, the other party was a cute girl with black hair and black eyes. For example, the other party was actually younger than her. For example, the other party was not as good-looking as her …

However, when she actually met her, Yūki realized that her guesses were all wrong.

"Lily, didn't you say that you were from China?"

The blonde girl named Lily winked at Yūki and said with a smile, "Oh, I wear a western dress. My heart is from China."

No, you don't look like a China person at all!

Lily patted Yūki's head, completely ignoring Yūki's dark face. "Okay, okay. It's rare for people to come to Jiansheng. Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

It was rare for people to come to Jiansheng?

Yūki slapped Lily's hand away and asked, "You live in Japan?"

"Yes, I live in Fuyuki.

It takes more than an hour to take the high-speed rail. The ticket is very expensive. "

"…" Yūki had a lot of things to say in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.

The uncertainty she felt when she saw her would disappear after she actually met her.

This blonde girl with blue eyes, wearing a leather jacket and hot pants, wearing sunglasses, and looking like she was strolling on the streets of Shibuya, was the stupid online friend that Yūki always talked about.

"Seriously, Lily, which country are you from?"

Lily pouted, the manly lip gloss on her lips sparkling. "I'm probably a British person who settled down in Japan and thinks that she's from China?"

No, it was a bit unsightly.

Yūki rubbed her forehead. She felt that this was really unscientific.

The "Lily" in her impression was someone who always shouted on the Internet, "Let's see if I can sneak into Europe!

F * ck, I'm f * cking falling again! "She was a huge salted fish who had nothing to do and would quarrel with her idol fans on the Internet. She was a battle chicken who could escape unscathed. She said that she had no income other than eating and drinking, but every time she played a game, she would be the first to lose control and start spending money …

But that didn't mean that she could accept this "hot girl" Lily!

Give that salted fish back to her!

"I thought you only bought the plane ticket until this late. Why did you come to Jiansheng so late?" Yūki reached out to Lily in confusion.

Lily handed some luggage to Yūki and touched Yūki's hair.

"Of course, there's a reason why I came at night. I want to see your strange ability."

"…" Yūki was stunned when she heard this. She nodded and walked in front of Lily.

Yūki rarely told others about her secret. Even if she did, she would repeat this day and erase the save file.

She didn't believe that others would believe her, and she didn't dare to believe that others wouldn't have malicious intentions towards her.

And Lily was one of them.

In the beginning, Xiji had thought that it would not be a big deal to repeat this day, so she had told Lily about it with a smile.

But Lily told her that this ability was possible. There were all kinds of strange abilities in this world. It wasn't strange that such an ability existed.

So Yūki kept Lily's memory.

After all, she was right. There were even vampires in this world. It shouldn't be strange that she had such a strange ability.

"Lily, do you really know about this ability of mine?"

"Well, I don't know if it's true or not, but I think I know some secrets about your eyes."

Yūki tilted her head and looked at Lily.

Under the night sky, the light and shadow scattered on Lily's hair. It seemed to soften her bright and beautiful smile. Even her figure seemed to be blurred.

She could face everything with a smile every day. She could chat happily with her classmates. She could still retain her curiosity about the world.

But when death couldn't be the end of her life, what would become of her life?

Continuous death, continuous despair.

A few years ago, Yūki had already given up on finding a solution to the infinite daily life.

She could smile at the sun every day. She could smile at her friends. But she couldn't smile at her own fate.

She had chosen to give up on this long process of death. She even felt that she might not be able to die of old age one day. She would be forced to live on.

And Lily was the only one who said that she knew about Yūki's secret.

"Lili, am I really a human being?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Lily, who was a few years older, gently rubbed Yūki's hair. The fine light yellow hair was a bit thinner than her color. It was soft and smooth. "You're not an island. You can turn off your lighthouse for now."

She wanted others to come close. She wanted others to know. She wanted others to save her.

She kept her lighthouse on in the fog. But she could only wait for others to come to her door. She couldn't take a step forward.

Yūki shook her head and sighed.

"Lily, do you want to see me jump down the building?"
