Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

"Hasn't your brother-in-law ever done laundry for your sister?"

"She's disgusted by my clumsy hands that wrinkled her face."

"It must be an excuse. My sister told me that she likes doing housework. She could have taken it to a dry cleaner or hired a housekeeper to come and clean it regularly."

"Where's you?"

"I?"

"..."

For a moment, I was a little confused.

"What do you want to be in the future? Like Yao? Or continue to pursue a career on stage?"

"It might be nice to be a queen. Maybe one day I'll be famous if I'm photographed by paparazzi."

"..."

I would probably go the music route. I really like it.

But more importantly, it’s because I think if I really become a singer, I won’t have to stay with my brother-in-law and cause him trouble.

As long as I go on business trips occasionally and pass by the city where my brother-in-law lives, I will be satisfied.

So, did you get away with it?

In fact, I was afraid of being left alone in the laboratory, and even if No. 72 came back, I couldn't eliminate the uneasiness.

1 month 17 day.

early morning.

Why do I always compare myself to my sister?

At first, I thought that I could get rid of my guilt. That is, it was okay to treat me as a sister, and I would be willing to look at me more if I treated me as a sister.

just now.

"Sister...will you do the same?"

"hiss."

"how about this?"

"Your sister would be upset if she knew you treated her as part of a play."

"But, I'm a bad kid. And I won't let my sister know."

"I don't think you're a bad person, at most you're a little stupid."

"why?"

"..."

My brother-in-law didn't answer me, he just touched the back of my head.

says.

Am I stupid for being so proactive and humble?

I'm not stupid.

If it were something else, if it were an ordinary life in reality, loving someone ordinary... I would definitely not do this.

I calculate a lot.

Originally, my brother-in-law was only willing to talk to me and look at me more. Now, he is willing to hug me occasionally even when he goes home. I have gained too much.

and so.

I want to go back. I have nothing else to ask for. Sister... maybe you miss your brother-in-law?

After seeing so many sad facts, would my brother-in-law also want to meet them in person?

1 month 17 day.

morning.

My brother-in-law continued to go out to look for supplies.

No. 72 continued to go to the surface to modify the energy supply device. It is said that the surface temperature has reached 56 degrees. At this temperature, I would probably get severely burned if I touched the ground for a few minutes without any protective equipment.

No one's in the lab. Just me.

When my brother-in-law told me about the "dream", I looked up some information.

Some experts say that the easiest way to get out of a dream is to recall how you came into this world and why you are doing what you are doing now.

I tried it. I remember entering the high-speed rail station with my bestie and heading to the plateau thousands of kilometers away. But I didn't quit the 'dream'.

Others say that if you feel pain, you will go out.

I tried it too, pinching the thigh meat really hard, but it didn't work.

What happens if you die?

Some people say that if it is a very clear and lucid dream that cannot be exited, the brain perceives it as the real world, and death may mean that consciousness dies as well, and the reality becomes a vegetable.

1 month 17 day.

Night.

I rubbed my brother-in-law's back.

By now, I can serve with the canteen without being too embarrassed and then finish.

Normally at times like this, I would be very relaxed and not think about anything.

Just pay attention to what is in front of you and what is happening.

I have given all my firsts to my brother-in-law. I have no regrets.

"Brother-in-law."

Back in the bedroom, I spoke.

"Ok?"

"I want to go back."

"go back?"

"What should I do if I want to go back?"

"..."

"...Brother-in-law, I have already gotten too much. I don't want to stay and cause trouble for you."

"Did I ever tell you you were trouble?"

"…Just because I haven't said it doesn't mean I'm not."

I know myself well.

My sister used to be able to pick up a gun and face some things. But I can't even use a gun. And this is a more severe world than Sea Island City.

"Sorry, you can't go back for now."

After a long silence, my brother-in-law answered my question.

I expected that, right?

If you could have sent me back earlier, you wouldn't have to think about how to face me at the beginning. You could have just rejected me and sent me back.

"Brother-in-law, how can I not be a burden?"

"I'm thinking too much. Without you, my life here would be so boring."

My brother-in-law doesn't really like it. If he really needed it, it would be impossible for him to stop and answer the formula I asked while doing that.

He can hold it in.

Just like at the beginning, no matter how much I hinted, she would not even look at me, but would only remind me to dress more conservatively and reject me politely.

"Tired of being confined to the lab?"

"No, I just don't want to be a burden. I don't hate living here... On the contrary, staying here means I don't have to think about my sister and can be close to her anytime and anywhere. Sometimes I can button my brother-in-law's buttons and tidy his clothes with my own hands... Ordinary kisses feel like a dream."

"You can do it after you get back, but it will take some time."

"..."

I created negative emotions. No matter how I explain it, it will definitely bring about the bad side.

1 month 18 day.

There is no trace of what my brother-in-law said about starting over in a few days.

After all, if you decide to go out, why do you have to keep looking for food?

The water flow from the tap decreases.

"The geological topography is affected by fluctuations, and the groundwater flows deeper. The original device was designed to collect both snow water and groundwater. Now there is only thin groundwater. The owner and Miss An need to conserve water before finding a new water source or returning to a cold climate again."

It seems that it has become a world that simply ensures my survival. My brother-in-law doesn't need to stay in the laboratory to survive. He can find things just by walking around outside. And his gastrointestinal function is obviously better than mine. I have diarrhea and stomachache, but he doesn't.

No. 72 is a bionic man and does not need to eat or drink water at all.

I'm practicing.

I imagine that I will be alone in the lab for a long time. What can I do to find peace of mind?

My brother-in-law brought back some electronic devices, which I can use after the analysis of No. 72. I can watch movies. I can use

painting……

I shamelessly got pregnant and begged my brother-in-law to let me have a child. Maybe I didn't need to beg him. No, it was just wishful thinking. I thought my charm was infinite, and my brother-in-law was too obsessed with me and wanted to take responsibility, so he dumped everyone else and only wanted to be with me.

This is of course a super vile thought, and a fantasy that brings on a strong sense of guilt.

But isn’t it good that feeling guilty can help me feel less anxious?

1 month 20 day.

Night.

No. 72 has renovated the conversion device that provides energy to the laboratory, so it basically doesn't need to go out anymore.

My brother-in-law also brought a lot of things like honey, biscuits... I don't know where to find the best ham. He also brought a lot of seasonings. Is it relatively stable now?

I can bear it now.

I mean, endure staying here alone for a long time.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Let's eat as much as we want today."

"I've also found a water source. It's very abstract. It's so hot here that it can roast people, but fifty or sixty kilometers away it's all ice and snow. But the presence of snow means we don't have to worry too much about water. Next I have to find out where the snow comes from. There must be a corresponding water source."

"..."

The guard that was made for me previously sat in the corner and was never worn again.

My brother-in-law never mentioned that we would be leaving in a few days. It seemed like a tacit concern.

1 month 20 day.

late at night.

"Oops, all the condoms are gone."

"We have so many times?"

"..."

Have.

After all, I always pester my brother-in-law.

"It doesn't matter if you don't need it. Didn't my brother-in-law bring back some medicine?"

"It's okay to eat it a few times."

"never mind."

"..."

My favorite time is afterward, when I just cuddle up and chat with my brother-in-law.
