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

"Is this what family is...?"

Little Mu snuggled pitifully into Ningzi's arms.

……

"A pharmacy? There should be a pharmacy nearby."

Night had fallen, and the only people on the streets were stray dogs and migrant workers who had just finished their shifts.

Xiangzi looked at the map navigation on her phone with a puzzled expression. It showed that there was a pharmacy right in front of her.

"But there's only a wall in front of us."

In front of her, there was indeed a sign with the words "Yamada Pharmacy" written in large, square characters.

But apart from the sign, all that's left are thick bricks and tiles.

"Is the map wrong again?"

Xiangzi took a few steps back uneasily, looked around, and found that there were no passersby in the area.

Normally, there would be passersby even in the dead of night, but now, let alone office workers, I haven't even seen a trace of those drunkards who often hang out.

"Then let's go to another pharmacy."

Xiangzi tried to message Ningzi to tell her that he would be back later.

But my phone is acting like a glitch; things I send out disappear automatically the next second.

Xiangzi tried calling Ningzi again, but the number he dialed was not in service. He then dialed Mu's number, but that would be even more absurd.

"The user you are calling has been defeated. Watch this ad for 30 seconds to revive them."

"..."

They must have encountered a prank show, right?

Standing under the streetlight, Xiangzi repositioned himself at a pharmacy.

Someone in my family is sick and waiting for me...

Xiangzi, keep up the good work, hurry up and buy the medicine and then go home!

Toyokawa Shoko sets off again, trying to think about other things to ignore the strange situation she is in.

"I've really been troubling Xiao Mu a lot lately. To be honest, if it weren't for Ning... I probably wouldn't have asked Mu for help."

Darkness followed her everywhere; wherever Xiangzi went, the lights would suddenly go out, leaving only the faint glow of the few scattered lights in front of her.

Xiangzi dared not look back, nor did he dare stop. He could only grit his teeth and continue walking forward.

"Sometimes I feel really ridiculous. I keep talking about self-respect, but when it comes to a real emergency, self-respect is completely useless. It's actually letting go of self-respect that solves the problem..."

His long-held principles had long become a joke, and all Xiangzi could do was continue to patch up his battered self-esteem.

Although it won't help, at least it will make me feel a little better.

I rushed out to buy medicine for Mu, wasn't it just to make up for Mu's mistake?

In the end, they were just too concerned about trivial matters... They didn't even know if Mu had a fever, yet they had already decided to go out and buy medicine.

Toyokawa Shoko, you are so despicable.

"This should be right here?"

Xiangzi kept her head down as she hurried along, because seeing similar road surfaces made her feel at ease.

But when Xiangzi looked up again at the "pharmacy" marked on the map, all he saw was a wall.

Furthermore, there is a sign for "Yamada Pharmacy" hanging on the wall.

"..."

"What... what is this?"

There was no wind, and the moon was nowhere to be seen when she looked up. Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to turn back, someone patted her on the shoulder.

It wasn't a lot of force, but it almost pierced Xiangzi's soul.

"Hey, is this the medicine you wanted to buy?"

"ah?!?!"

Xiangzi turned around abruptly and found that Ji was standing right in front of his house.

She held the key and fever reducer in her hand, the key half-inserted in the lock, waiting for her to turn it three times to open the door.

"Am I hallucinating because I'm too tired?"

Xiangzi retreated to the corner of the wall until his back was pressed against the wall before he truly came to his senses.

"I am..."

Before she could finish speaking, she returned to the deserted street. But this time, unlike before, there was an unusually noisy sound of footsteps coming from behind Xiangzi.

"Ah...someone's here, who is it?"

"Huh? Sister, what are you doing?"

Ningzi grabbed Xiangzi's shoulders and shook him repeatedly, seemingly trying to shake Xiangzi awake.

"Xiao Ning, I...I'm fine, I'm alright."

Xiangzi was confused about the situation, but she still managed to force a smile.

If I act strangely, my sister will worry about me.

In the blink of an eye, Xiangzi was back at the door.

The younger sister who just appeared seems to be fake.

"..."

I guess I'm really exhausted. Quitting my job was definitely the right choice.

She turned the lock with her right hand.

In his left hand he was carrying a bag of fever reducers.

Ch137. They seemed to have drunk fake alcohol.

"I'm back. How is Mu?"

"Great, but my sister is so fast, she's back in just ten minutes."

"Hmm... I don't know how I managed to buy it."

Xiangzi spoke vaguely.

She opened a packet of fever reducers and realized she hadn't spent any money on them.

Because my wallet and such were left on the table and I didn't take them with me.

I really saw a ghost.

"I'm going to take a shower first. Xiaoning, could you check Mu's temperature? We can give Mu some medicine if needed... I'll go call Uncle Ruoye now..."

While rummaging through the bag, Xiangzi was surprised to find two well-packaged thermometers.

Did I travel through time? I've heard that parallel worlds have been proven to exist.

Maybe tomorrow "To Every One of You I Love" will become a documentary.

"Okay, go ahead."

Ningzi scratched Mu, who was nestled in her arms and acting coquettishly, signaling the other to let go of her.

Mu's face looks very small, but it's actually quite chubby when you pinch it, which is quite amusing.

"Xiao Mu, raise your arm, let me take your temperature."

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu blinked.

How come she remembered that Xiao Ning used to call her "sister" all the time? And she was indeed older than Ningzi.

"elder sister?"

"Oh my, my little cutie is so good. Shall I give you a kiss as a reward?"

"..."

Ningzi quickly touched Mu's head with her lips, and while the other was still surprised, she inserted the thermometer under Mu's armpit.

"Stop! Don't move around, or we'll waste time and get a bad reading! Idiot!"

"Okay, go ahead and do the test."

My head feels so hot, Mu Xin thought.

It was as hot as if I were bleeding.

"Lie down and don't move. I'll go and pack up the medicine that Xiaoxiang brought back."

"Oh…"

Ningzi vigorously rubbed the fur of the blue puppy, and casually stuffed the pet necklace around its neck into her clothes to prevent Xiangzi from seeing it.

……

The dining table, which was originally crammed into a corner and piled with bottles of expensive beer, was not a good place to eat until this day last week.

Ningzi was taking stock of the medicines Xiangzi had brought back.

There are three or four types of medicines for treating fever, as well as some cough syrups and cold medicines.

"It seems that Xiao Xiang bought everything at once."

Some of it was stuffed into the living room cabinet. Ningzi looked at a box of fever reducers suitable for a sixteen-year-old girl.

only…

"Huh? Where's my candy?"

Ningzi looked the entire dining table up and down, even finding the places where beer bottles had bumped and chipped, but she couldn't find her own little can.

"That's really strange. I saw it here this afternoon."

It couldn't have been accidentally eaten by some silly little thing...

That would be too insignificant.

"Little Mu! It's time! Quickly take it out and check the temperature!"

"it is good."

Following Toyokawa Ningko's instructions, Wakaba Mutsu obediently took out the thermometer from under her arm.

"Hey, let me see it. Ah... 37.2 degrees Celsius? That's almost a fever. You should take some medicine."

"okay."

Mu sat to one side and obediently ate the medicine Ningzi handed him.

"Xiao Ning! I forgot my bath towel!"

While Ningzi was feeding Mu's younger sister medicine, Xiangzi's younger sister's cries came from the bathroom again.

Ningzi sighed.

Who would have thought that Toyokawa Ningko, a beautiful girl who is a campus socialite, would become the older sister and nanny of two clumsy children at home?

"Here comes the small fry."

Ningzi handed Xiangzi a bath towel, fed Mu medicine, and wiped his sweat. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Ningzi, giving her the illusion of being the head of the family.

"Xiao Mu, raise your hands, it's time to change your clothes."

"But sister, I didn't bring a change of pajamas."

Mutsumi Neko liked being called "older sister" so she simply went along with it.

She didn't care about such things; as long as Ningzi was happy, that was all that mattered.

“It’s okay, just wear mine. Of course, Xiao Mu can sleep without wearing it… Wait a minute, I have something to ask Xiangzi.”

Ningzi turned around and shouted at Xiangzi, who was drying his hair with a towel, "You little brat! Did you tell Uncle Ruoye? If you didn't, we'll be treated like kidnappers!"
