Chapter 394 Archive, No. 87

2 month 5 day.

early.

Dojo.

After eating, Su Ming came here.

“what!”

Tokugawa Airi woke up earlier than him, her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and her hair was sticky.

Swinging the knife tirelessly.

That chopping and splitting posture…why does it look a bit like the document Xiaoye sent to herself, cutting fish?
what.

That’s right, she took Xia Ye as her teacher.

“Hmm? Ming, are you here to look for someone?”

“?”

What, who are you looking for?

“She’s not here. That Miss Ann doesn’t care, but if the same thing happened to me, I’d be mad.”

“…”

Who informed on this in advance?
“I’m just walking around. Not looking for anyone.”

“busy now.”

Tokugawa Airi picked up the watch that was placed aside. “7 o’clock. My students should be here in an hour. I only teach girls here.”

“…”

“It’s not for pleasure.”

What are you talking about?

Are you that kind of person?
“Ming, Miss An is also a human being, and as a human being there are limits.”

“I know.”

“If you know that, you shouldn’t be here. I’m not someone who can’t stand loneliness. At least, I can enjoy reviving the legacy of the Tokugawa family.”

“…”

But is it possible?

Was it An Shiyao who instigated me to come here?
We must be fair in everything we do. We cannot hide things, nor can we only explain things to one person.

2 month 5 day.

morning.

Suburbs. Xia Ye bought the basement where the laboratory is located.

“Big brother, are you here to continue your ten-minute mating?”

“No.”

“Xia You, not here.”

“…”

“Brother, the spirit can never be satisfied. With only Xiaoye’s body.”

“…”

what.

They can share perception. It is normal that she knows exactly what she and Xia You have done.

“Xiaoye is very busy, big brother, go and conquer her. I won’t be jealous, even if big brother treats her the same way he treats Xiaoye, you won’t be jealous, right?”

“…”

Are you already having a quarrel?

He had no intention of coming over, he was just talking calmly while he was busy.

2 month 5 day.

morning.

Xia You is not in the lab. No one knows where she went.

It should come out automatically afterwards.

Su Ming walked back to the city and sat down on a chair.

[Uncle, the language of the Snow Country is so difficult. ]

[When a friend said something, I grabbed her hand… I couldn’t understand it at all.]

【…】

Open the message list and chat with Nogizaka normally.

Who did you want to call?

I should ask Nogizaka what he wants to do during the New Year.

[I don’t need to go. Uncle will be embarrassed, right? Hehe.]

[That’s right, if you come to Kyoto… you can come and see me. Ah, Sister Jiang and Sister Xiaoxi miss uncle very much. ]

【…】

abstract.

Newly acquired save files can be used.

It only costs 100 points to use.

[Please confirm whether to spend points*100 to store the current node 2025.02.05, 10:36? ]

【whether】

【…】

It can be confirmed that now is the time when there is no problem.

【You have saved】

[Please note that the longer the interval, the more points you will spend to read the archive. Currently, the points you need to spend are 10]

Although you still need to spend points to read after saving, and if it takes too long, the points you need to spend may be very high.

But the way to earn points has also been updated.

[Important Notes on This Award]

【About game points】

【The previous method of earning points did not provide a good experience. 】

[We hope that the long-term gaming experience will allow players to grow and gain rewards in real life]

[Therefore, we hope that players can also get more rewards in reality. We can integrate games into real life and change lives.]

【Therefore, we launched a new feature. Points task. When you complete the task, you can get enough points. 】

【…】

The task given is very abstract.

[I believe that after the trial, you have already understood NPC well enough]

[Please select the target strategy from the following high-quality NPCs to receive rewards. 】

[1. An Shiyao (estimated to receive 100 points)]

[2, Summer Night (estimated to receive 1000)]

[3. Miu Xueer. Eliza (estimated to receive 500 points)]

【…】

Oh shit.

Until now, I have never been unable to distinguish between reality and games, it is this game that cannot distinguish between them.

Raiders?

Hasn’t the strategy been completed long ago for whichever one to choose?
But it’s a bit too much.

Why is Yao only expected to score 100 points?
Who do you look down on?

It should be divided by strength.

but……

[6. An Xiaoxi (estimated points: 300)]

Why does Xiaoxi, the younger sister, have 300?

It’s purely to discredit Yao’s presence, right?

This kind of unfair task cannot be known to others. This… is really infuriating.

It’s still better for me. I always treat everyone equally and only feel sorry for Yao.

2 month 5 day.

noon.

Su Ming went home.

“I’m not used to it, but I can’t change it back before the Chinese New Year.”

“I can’t stay idle…”

An Shiyao must be really restless. The floor was so shiny that Su Ming didn’t even want to step in.

“Mr. Su Ming, what are you doing? Wash your hands and eat. Let’s go out for a walk later and check on her. Take a sneak peek.”

“Hey, come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve peeked at someone else.”

“…”

So sad.

The one who has been peeped at by Xia Ye and the others has paranoia. Should I tell her… Xiao An’s physical fitness is not bad. She will be discovered.

“Why didn’t you say anything? Were you scolded by sister Ai Li and the others?”

“I told you. Even if you don’t have time to go over, you still have to call and send a message. They’re all women, I don’t believe they won’t be happy. Even if they say no, but when they really get a call and see the message… it’ll always warm you up on such a cold day.”

“…Uh, maybe.”

“It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty. Really… since you knew that Ai Li was opening a dojo, you should at least pick out the right training clothes for her, right? How could you hate it if your lover gave it to you personally? You know that seeing something reminds you of someone?”

“…”

Although what An Shiyao said was right.

But now Su Ming has a big problem.

[Task: Send An Shiyao a sincere and touching love letter at the right time]

[Reward: Points*10]

[No penalty for failure]

“…”

Grass.

What era is this? Why give this thing as a gift?

“By the way, let’s go to the baby store this afternoon. The clothes that Dad and his friends chose are too old-fashioned… Children’s clothes nowadays are obviously very beautiful, but they insist that beautiful ones are not warm and want to buy the ones that look warm. It’s ugly.”

“……Um.”

And she even has a daughter.

They are obviously an old married couple, can’t the game see any of that?
How to send a love letter?

When I send it out, I can imagine Yao’s confused and teasing smile.

In fact, I absolutely can’t help but show off to the small group… No, I should show off to Xiaoxi first, and then Xiaoxi’s loose mouth will leak it to the small group.

By then, wouldn’t I be finished? I would be ridiculed by everyone.

But, I have to do it.

The points are just enough for one deposit, and can be used completely.

2 month 5 day.

noon.

I miss my daughter very much.

“You are so busy, how can you have time to bring it?”

“Let’s talk about it after the Chinese New Year. Besides… if we want the old man to completely accept Xiao Ming, only Tongtong can do it. Haha, now the old man will turn down most of the work every day and come back early to take care of Tongtong.”

“…”

makes sense.

Only Tongtong can make his stubborn father accept a completely different idea.

But it’s too troublesome!
Breast milk and other things have to be mailed…

“What should I do? You don’t want Tongtong to eat other people’s food.”

“Of course! I’m the mother. I’m sure I’m the best…”

It is.

I have plenty, why should I need others’?

If I grow up and call someone mom, I will collapse.

“Don’t worry, Tongtong is not even one year old yet, he will remember things at least when he is three or four years old.”

“…”

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Mr. Su Ming who was sitting opposite me.

This coffee shop is across from the company building. From this angle, you can’t see what’s inside the seventh floor.

But the secretary didn’t call me, so I guess she pretended very well… Her ability should be enough to do the job.

“Okay, Mr. Su Ming has finished eavesdropping, so it’s time to go in, right?”

“…”

He showed that helpless expression again.

How is it?
“Master, are you dissatisfied?”

I’m so considerate and thinking about them…isn’t that good?

“No. I’ll go in first then. I’ll be out before dark.”

“…”

I stared at Mr. Su Ming in silence, and stepped hard on his shoe under the table.

“Stop talking nonsense. If you want to go, go quickly. Otherwise, I might change my mind later.”

“…”

Watching Mr. Su Ming leave the store.

I always feel… a little weird.

There is something hidden.

Definitely something. I was in a daze a lot today.

But what can happen?
Could it be… that there is a newcomer?
But that’s not right. If it were true, Mr. Su Ming has been at home recently and hasn’t heard Xia Ye and the others mention it.

Oh.

Want to explain what happened with another girl, Xia You?

Well, I misunderstood.

Actually, there’s no misunderstanding and it’s nothing serious, I just feel…uncomfortable.

At night, he was still comforting me, and during the day, he was sticking to the girl who said she would not accept him.

I’ll just say…

Even if I really want to do it, I will definitely not choose home.

A girl that I will bring home sooner or later…

what.

Compared to this.

[You, what you are talking about… I have done it. ]

Ha ha.

I felt the fun. I couldn’t let Mr. Su Ming find out about this evil taste.

There is no way I can return to my former pure self, but I will never allow someone who looks like me to be more innocent than me.

【But you are not professional enough. 】

[…Huh? ]

[That is to say, it is not enough to just paste it, there are many techniques. 】

【…】

【Want to know? 】

[I’d rather not. I think that’s a technique you discovered… I…]

[Just to say a random thing, the baby mess can indeed show off our figure when it is completely covered, but it is like a line, straight and straight, it does not look good. ]

【…】

You say you don’t want to listen, but maybe, if you’re like me, you’re thinking seriously about it?

[Hide it this time, choose not to hide it next time. 】

【…】

【Oh, you can also add a little more participation in the middle. 】

[It feels a bit… embarrassing. ]

[If you are too pure, you will be banished to the cold palace. 】

That’s it!

How can there be such a contrast?

It’s obviously the same face, same figure, but she knows so much!
Absolutely not.

Humph.

It’s okay to want to be friends, but you have to become more innocent than yourself first. You must never let Mr. Su Ming experience the feeling that “it turns out that Yao was so pure before.”

I would die of shame.

However, this might be the bad taste that Mr. Su Ming taught me…Now it is finally my turn to lead others astray.

It’s great to cultivate.

“Miss, the signature brown sugar milk tofu pudding you ordered.”

“…”

The milk tea was luke warm.

So, Mr. Su Ming wouldn’t really plan to come out after dark, right?
At this point, what can I do with my office and her… It’s okay.

what.

Are you going to take my clothes from the drawer again?

Forget it.

In the final analysis, none of them have confidence. Only people without confidence would want to wear other people’s clothes. They are all useless.

Thinking this way… I can continue to wait a little longer.

No.

If he doesn’t come out within 16 hours before 3:, I will really catch him in adultery.

Because the pedestrian street will be closed at 21:5, if I don’t have hours of shopping, I will naturally make a fuss. Generous… but not completely generous.

This is the way for a legal wife to survive.

Talk about it.

No one in the company noticed that I had switched with her… How cold-hearted. Forget about others, even Secretary Gao didn’t notice it.

If even Mr. Su Ming didn’t notice it, I would really go crazy, right?

2 month 5 day.

in the afternoon.

Su Ming quietly entered the company and spied on Xiao An for a long time without being discovered. He even stood right in front of her.

“…”

Too serious.

“Hmm…Will it really not be considered slutty?”

“…”

Although I don’t quite understand why she is working so hard.

But in appearance, there is really no big difference. Same high heels, same flesh-colored stockings, same OL uniform. Same hairstyle, shawl.

“cough.”

Su Ming had no choice but to cough dryly.

“…”

“?”

“Ah! Mr. Su Ming?! When did you…”

“Just arrived.”

“…”

She seemed relieved, but her red face and the way she hurriedly put away her computer and switched screens betrayed her.

“Are you used to it?” “Huh? Well… used to it.”

“I came here to give you something.”

“what?”

She blinked in confusion, staring at a letter that Su Ming took out from his trouser pocket.

“…”

Sure enough, it is most appropriate to use her for practice.

Not embarrassing at all.

She is still very pure now.

“T-This is… a love letter?”

“Ah.”

“How come, all of a sudden… um.”

I blushed to the extreme. The lines in the letter were indeed very corny. After all, I searched it on Baidu and rewrote it a little.

My body also twisted unconsciously.

“But I, I… am already the one, no need to confess.”

“Just consider it a formal confession.”

“Then it should be me…”

“Don’t worry about that. Just tell me, what do you dare to think about it? Do you think it’s corny?”

“……that!”

She suddenly put the letter into the drawer quickly and pushed Su Ming’s back.

“If my sister knew that Mr. Su Ming came to give this to her, she would be angry. Did he come out with my sister? I saw him from the window just now.”

“What do you think?”

“I, I will return the gift next time! Anyway, Mr. Su Ming should go and accompany my sister now! Not here… that is my sister’s office.”

“…”

The reaction was pretty much what Su Ming expected.

But why is the mission not completed?
Isn’t she also An Shiyao?

Grass.

It has to be sent to An Shiyao, who is already a mother, right?

2 month 5 day.

in the afternoon.

When Mr. Su Ming came back, his face was tense.

He sat in front of me without saying a word.

“what happened?”

I thought something happened.

“for you.”

“?”

A slightly wrinkled letter.

[I was a staunch non-marriage advocate, but after meeting you, I decided from the bottom of my heart…]

“…”

It’s a love letter.

I wrote about how I met Mr. Su Ming, how we got together, and how he liked me afterwards.

Think I’m cute… or something like that.

why?
A sudden love letter?
“how?”

Mr. Su Ming’s face was still tense.

“…”

I was feeling my lowest point.

“Mr. Su Ming, tell me. What happened?”

There is only one possibility that he would do this.

Something big happened.

2 month 5 day.

in the afternoon.

“So, Mr. Su Ming wants to bribe me with a piece of paper because he feels that I have been wronged in various aspects?”

“…”

“It was so scary. I thought something serious had happened.”

“No. Didn’t you say that? I have to pay attention to everyone, but I can’t miss you, right?”

“…Humph, Mr. Su Ming can actually utter such words.”

I feel a little bit hot and warm.

But I don’t want to say it.

what the hell……

Even though they have children, they still write love letters.

What do you want me to do?
Accept the confession again?

Besides, I was the one who took the initiative to pursue him…he is like a piece of wood.

Eh… is that what they say on the Internet? Suddenly, I feel like I want to cherish you more. Has Mr. Su Ming reached this stage?

Really.

What on earth do you want me to do?

Do you really think I won’t be shy?

2 month 5 day.

Night.

I was absent-mindedly shopping, thinking about how to respond to the love letter, and I didn’t buy anything.

“It’s closed, go back.”

When Mr. Su Ming was about to go back, I grabbed his arm.

“No return.”

“?”

“Go…to the hotel.”

I heard, really heard. Big data told me that there is a new romantic hotel nearby. It is very suitable for lovers. Or for old couples to rejuvenate.

Many of Xiao Hongshu’s sisters have visited her and said she is very safe and there are no hidden cameras.

“Huh? Why do we have to go to the hotel?”

“Do not ask!”

“…”

How can I respond?
Asking me to say the things in the love letter in person…I can’t do it. Only this way.

2 month 5 day.

late at night.

The hotel and the facilities in the room… made Su Ming feel that he might have come to the wrong place.

Brand new, unopened, various props wrapped in plastic film. There was even a ball gag hanging there.

“That’s right. It’s right here.”

“…”

As soon as I inserted the card, the light that was on was turned off by her, leaving only a small light.

“What’s this for? Yao, when did you become interested in Ace’s affections?”

“I’m not! I’m… responding.”

“Response?”

“…”

Although she didn’t say anything else, Su Ming seemed to understand what the response was. A love letter.

His face was so red.

“Hurry up. Just this once… do whatever you want. I will cooperate with you seriously. No matter how perverted it is…”

She lay face down on the bed.

2 month 5 day.

late at night.

This is the limit of what I can do.

But Mr. Su Ming didn’t seem to like it very much.

“Wouldn’t it be silent if I put on a ball gag?”

“I still like to hear the sound.”

“…”

What did you hear?

Just thinking about it, hearing my personal response to a love letter?
“I thought you would tease me.”

“Why would you tease me… I didn’t write it casually.”

“I wanted to post it casually, but later I thought it would be better to write something normal.”

“I……”

“Ok?”

“Me too. Before I met Mr. Su Ming, I was a staunch non-marriage advocate.”

“I know.”

“So, Mr. Su Ming really has no interest in Ace Amour at all?”

“No.”

“That’s normal…that.”

A long-lost sense of shame.

My face is very hot, but I can still do it.

Actively lie down and assume a suitable posture.

“See, it’s all your fault… My mind is full of love letters since I came out of the cafe. It’s getting weirder and weirder. You already have a child, but you still write this kind of thing…”

“Only for me?”

“……Um.”

“Next time, don’t be so sudden. I, I will also be…shy.”

Hey.

Is it just me?

Being generous also has its advantages. Mr. Su Ming will “repay the favor”.

“Really? Stop looking at me!”

“Breast milk… a lot. Turn around and look here.”

“…”

So, actually I am also very pure.

As long as Mr. Su Ming is serious, I will be shy.

2 month 6 day.

early morning.

An Shiyao had already fallen asleep, with a peaceful smile on her face, and had no intention of taking a shower.

[Um, is Mr. Su Ming asleep? ]

【…】

And the other her, Xiao An, also sent a message at this time.

[The first time I met Mr. Su Ming was at the company. At that time…]

【The other party has withdrawn. 】

She withdrew before she finished reading it.

A very long essay.

Hey.

Compared to An Shiyao, her response was very simple. She wrote a short essay and she also responded with a short essay.

However, what I gave her was just a random modification of what I pasted from Baidu. Isn’t that a bit too brutal?

【…】

[Next time! If Mr. Su Ming is free to come, I will definitely… that. There will be a surprise or something. Hmm.]

Where is the short essay that you want to read?
You’ve edited so many pages and you’re not going to publish them?

It’s not really a lie, is it?

I only gave love letters to Yao. Anyway, they both have the same name.

Mission accomplished.

The next step is to try to read it back.

hiss……

Do I have to send the love letter again after reading it? Infinite loop?

Forget it.

She wasn’t teased… She was a little embarrassed. Finally, she got into the mood and responded quietly with her head covered by the pillow.

Yes, if I try to conquer her seriously, given our current relationship, it will only make her shy.

By the way, my old face also felt a little hot…it was too corny.

Only one is stored in total.

There’s no point in storing more than one, right?
[File 1, 2024.12.29.13:10 (1009 points required)]

“…”

wrong.

The one I saved was yesterday, January 2025, 1.

Su Ming tried to turn the page.

【档2,2024,12.01,15:37(需623点数)】

Turn over again.

【档3,2025,0101,9:21(需409点数)】

“…”

This time it’s 2025, but the date is still wrong.

Su Ming turned the pages one after another until he couldn’t turn to the next page anymore.

[File 87, 2025, 0105, 10.36 (2 points required)]

“…”

Su Ming sat up and silently turned the page again. The semi-transparent text box turned back to the beginning.

[File 1, 2024.12.29.13:10 (1009 points required)]

The words just sit there quietly.

Then subconsciously peek into the phone.

Xiao An has new information.

[The first time I met Mr. Su Ming was at the company. Actually, I thought Mr. Su Ming was very rigid at first, but later I found out…]

【…】

The short essay was sent after all.

But what is going on?

Isn’t it a reward for saving the file?

There are 86 files in total in the previous section. Where did they come from?
“…”

Su Ming quietly lifted the quilt and stuffed the pillow into An Shiyao’s arms.

“It’s like this again. I can tell the difference between a pillow and a person. Don’t think I’m a fool.”

“Slimy, I’m going to take a shower, do you want to come?”

“…Don’t. Sleepy. Humph… When you finish washing, you will still be dirty by me.”

“…”

That doesn’t matter.

Su Ming just wanted to go to the bathroom to calm down.

Look at your face in the mirror.

What exactly does that mean?
The file I just saved has the serial number 87?

Does that mean that if I exist, then it can explain why Xiao An exists? Is there really more than one rebirth?
So, after saving the game, why would you start over again?

There is nothing in the archives that is later than January 1th.

Are there other monsters?

“…”

and many more.

Su Ming suddenly thought of something.

Quickly take out your cell phone.

Find the contact person, it’s at the top. Xiao An just posted a short essay.

I have a question

[Eh? Mr. Su Ming is still awake? ]

【No. 】

[This… is my response. Also, I will work hard… in every way, and will not let my sister down.]

Let’s not talk about what An Shiyao has that requires her to trust.

Su Ming had only one question.

[Do you remember when I went to Sea Island City? The exact time.]

【…】

Indicates that the other party is typing.

Don’t remember?
According to her memory, she lived to be at least sixty years old, so it is normal that she doesn’t remember it.

[2024, December 12. Time… Afternoon. I remember it was around 29:16.]

what?
so detailed?

[Well… because I remember that after Mr. Su Ming left, I just stared at the clock in a daze. I sat on the bed until very late. Later, I went out because I was so hungry.]

[Mr. Su Ming, you are asking this…? ]

【…】

[Nothing, I just wanted to ask. Also, the essay I just wrote is very sincere.]

【Eh? 】

[I will come to the company to see you when I have time. Next time I will lock the door in advance when I come in. ]

【…】

[… Yeah. Anyway, that… the company doesn’t have too many people right now. As long as Mr. Su Ming doesn’t tell my sister, I’ll…]

Su Ming didn’t have time for any more small talk.

Reopen the save game directory.

Go find her. Go find her at the time she said.

【档21:2024年,12月29日,16:11。(需花费点数:211)】

Could it be the archive file that Xiao An mentioned?
If it were me… would I save the game before saying goodbye to her?

But if I already had all kinds of abilities at that time and knew Xiaoye and the others, how could I fail? How could I be reduced to the point where I had to start all over again?

Look at the saved description again.

Does this mean that I can save up points and go see it in person?
As long as you accumulate enough points, you will know whether it is yours or someone else’s. You should also be able to know what is going on with Xiao An.
