This was the result she didn't want to face, and the outcome she had feared.
At this moment, the girl began to cry, but so softly that in this quiet area, Su Ze had to concentrate to hear it.
Su Ze was at a loss, patting the girl's head, "Don't cry, it can be restored. I'll go for surgery tomorrow, okay?"
The innocent girl shook her head, still crying.
Su Ze began to regret not staying in the hospital.
If he had been hospitalized, he could have had surgery tomorrow to reattach his severed arm.
Now, facing this little shrine maiden who was crying even harder at seeing his injury than when they had reunited, he felt an indescribable guilt and difficulty speaking, his throat tight with emotion.
Uesugi Akizuki didn't quite believe Su Ze's words now, because he had lied to her once before when tricking her into getting into the car.
Between people, once a lie appears, it's inevitable to develop misgivings about the other person.
It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf - the villagers repeatedly believed the boy because they genuinely cared about him and feared for his and the sheep's safety.
But Su Ze's previous lie had reached the equivalent of the villagers' second deception in Uesugi Akizuki's heart. One more lie, and she would lose all trust in Su Ze.
Because that lie was meant to abandon her!
In her heart, except for Su Ze abandoning her, which counted as a lie, she would desperately believe that Su Ze wasn't deceiving her about anything else.
She was so innocent that if Su Ze told her to die, she would.
This was the first time in Su Ze's years of deception that he felt such severe conscience-stricken remorse.
"I'm not lying this time, will you trust me once more?" Su Ze's voice was hoarse from his constricted throat, "It really can be restored."
After a long while, Uesugi Akizuki, whether choosing to believe Su Ze or not, withdrew from his embrace and tightly held his right hand as if they had never been apart.
Uesugi Akizuki opened her mouth and asked, "Won't leave anymore... okay?"
"..." Su Ze remained silent. Before understanding why Uesugi Akizuki was here, he dared not make any empty promises.
"Shall we go eat first?" Su Ze changed the subject, "I just got back and I'm hungry."
Uesugi Akizuki held his hand tightly without speaking, preventing Su Ze from leaving again.
Su Ze had no choice but to lead her to the kitchen. He was truly hungry, having not eaten since leaving the Land of the Living Dead.
He had only eaten a few tangerines by the roadside... and then ended up in jail.
Upon entering the kitchen, Su Ze was surprised to find that the kitchen layout had been changed.
"Have you been cooking here yourself?" Su Ze asked, but quickly shook his head dismissing the thought.
The innocent girl cooking would be as likely as seeing cows fly in the sky.
"Sister cooked," the innocent girl said.
"Sister? Your sister came too?" Su Ze immediately understood. If Rakshasa dared to let Uesugi Akizuki out, someone must be protecting her safety. Uesugi Chigenki was at the middle stage of the Candle Realm and was her sister, making her the perfect guardian.
"Where's your sister?"
"Gone shopping for groceries."
Shopping? This big innocent one was just like the little innocent one - wouldn't she get scammed while grocery shopping? Did she even understand the market prices in Huaxia?
Su Ze checked the refrigerator and found that Uesugi Chigenki had arranged the vegetables and meat in an orderly manner. Su Ze had the same habit, but seeing how the arrangement had changed after days of use made him feel uncomfortable.
There were quite a lot of ingredients, just slightly less than before he left. Was there really a need to go shopping?
Su Ze gently shook the innocent girl's small hand, "I only have one hand, and I need to cook. Can you let go?"
The innocent girl shook her head, still traumatized and afraid to let go. The last time she let go, Su Ze had disappeared.
Su Ze thought of a compromise, "How about you hold onto my clothes instead? I won't run away."
"You don't want to see me starve to death, right?"
This worked. After hesitating for a moment, the innocent girl released Su Ze's hand and firmly grabbed the hem of his long coat with both hands, carefully watching her grip to prevent Su Ze from running away if she loosened it.
Su Ze was quite helpless but managed to start cooking skillfully with one hand.
The innocent girl followed his every move like his shadow, like an attachment to him.
Su Ze had truly captured the girl's heart and earned her complete trust and dependence in just a few days of interaction, and it took only minutes to destroy most of her trust in him.
But her dependence and genuine feelings hadn't diminished at all.
Those few days spent with Su Ze were the most interesting time in her otherwise monotonous life.
Actually, she and her sister weren't particularly good playmates.
Due to the organization's plans, her sister lived in Huaxia while she stayed in Japan, and they didn't see each other more than twenty times a year.
Moreover, whenever her sister visited, she would teach her the Huaxia language, which made her, who already disliked studying, even less inclined to be close to her sister.
The reason she still depended on her sister was because during that period of memory loss, her sister had changed from her usual calm demeanor to being constantly vigilant of their surroundings, giving her a strong sense of security, so she came to trust and depend on her sister.
Su Ze finished cooking and carried the food tray to the living room with one hand, while the innocent girl carefully watched her hands gripping Su Ze's coat hem, following closely behind.
"What's your sister's phone number? Let's call her back for dinner," Su Ze said.
After the innocent girl stopped crying, Su Ze was no longer at a loss.
The innocent girl pulled Su Ze to the game room and handed him a note from the table.
It had Uesugi Chigenki's phone number on it.
Su Ze looked at the number and pressed each digit on his phone carefully.
"I have your sister in my hands. You have ten minutes to return, or I'll kill her." After saying this, Su Ze hung up.
He didn't give the other party any chance to respond.
Su Ze ignored Uesugi Chigenki's repeated calls and simply turned off his phone.
"Little shadow, time to eat," Su Ze turned and flicked the innocent girl's forehead.
The innocent girl, who had been confused about what Su Ze said to her sister, suddenly became a bit angry. She grabbed Su Ze's hand and squatted down, refusing to move in silent protest.
Su Ze gradually returned to his shameless self, and Uesugi Akizuki unconsciously began to forget those unpleasant things, playing with Su Ze as if nothing had happened, showing her small temper.
"Let's eat, or I'll starve myself to death!" Su Ze threatened.
The innocent girl immediately stood up and led Su Ze to the living room by his hand.
Soon, Su Ze heard a thud from the balcony.
He turned to look and saw the big innocent one, Uesugi Chigenki, hurriedly getting up from the ground, with some vegetable leaves in her hair and a scattered grocery basket in her hands.
"Don't kill her! I... I can agree to any demands!"
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...

The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
