Chapter 526
"..."
Very well, now the person who looks bitter at the mention of Stella has changed from Aurora to Xiao Chun.
Xiao Chun gritted her teeth, looked up at Stella in the Sky Screen, and uttered a harsh threat:
"Don't worry, she can't get away! I'll definitely find her! And then..."
Xiao Chun wants to show Stella what 'cruelty' really means!
Aurora pondered for a long time, but didn't realize it until Stella left.
The sky suddenly darkened, just like Aurora's mood, and raindrops seemed about to fall. Suddenly, someone took Aurora's right hand.
"Miss Aurora, it's about to rain, let's go back to our rooms."
"Xiao Xue...!?"
When Tsukinomiya Yuki took Aurora's hand, her mood brightened as she was surprised. The gloom that Stella had felt earlier due to her words gradually lifted.
She asked the Tsukinomiya Yuki:
Why did you come here?
"Miss Stella said you probably need me now, so I came."
Tsukinomiya Yuki pulled Aurora into the stairwell. He stood in front of Aurora, smiled, and asked, "Miss Aurora, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Tsukinomiya Yuki asked this, but surprisingly, Aurora didn't answer his question. Instead, she suddenly said something completely out of the blue:
"... Aurora..."
"?"
"... Just call me Aurora, or... you can just call me Lyla! Adding 'Miss' or something after that is too formal!"
Aurora said firmly and stubbornly.
In the past, Fang Ming would always call her by her name directly, never adding any honorifics after it.
When honorifics are used occasionally, it's usually in jest.
At this moment, the unfamiliarity of Tsukinomiya Yuki made Aurora very uncomfortable.
It was just a matter of how you addressed her, and after a moment of stunned silence, Tsukinomiya Yuki smiled and changed her form of address:
"Okay, Aurora."
"!"
Even though her voice was different and her appearance was no longer the same as before, the sound of "Aurora" still brought tears to the red-haired girl's eyes.
She stepped forward, looking at Tsukinomiya Yuki with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, and asked softly:
"Can... can I... hug you...?"
The red-haired girl made this request.
The silver-haired boy gazed at the girl before him, looking into her slightly reddened eyes and sensing the unease emanating from her.
A few seconds later, the silver-haired boy slowly nodded:
"Good."
He agreed.

Aurora immediately stepped forward and hugged Tsukinomiya Yuki.
She hugged him very tightly, almost as if she wanted to lift Tsukinomiya Yuki up.
Tsukinomiya Yuki did not resist; he allowed the red-haired girl to embrace him and waited for her to open up to him.
The red-haired girl felt the warmth of the boy in her arms, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
The other person's voice, their scent, everything so familiar, almost bringing her to tears, filled Aurora with a sense of longing.
That's probably what it feels like to lose something and then get it back.
Yes, Aurora finally realized that she had indeed found her uncle, even if he hadn't regained his memories and couldn't remember her.
But this alone made Aurora feel incredibly satisfied.
But...
The older man doesn't belong to her alone.
Many people like him and have a good impression of him; similarly, Aurora also has many 'enemies'.
Compared to these people, Aurora seems to have no advantage whatsoever.
She wasn't very tall, and her figure wasn't great either. Even though she had tried her best to drink milk and eat vegetables throughout the year, her body didn't seem to have changed much.
Perhaps it was due to malnutrition during childhood?
Aurora doesn't know.
Besides these, Aurora is not as gentle as Xiao Chun, not as optimistic as Xiao Qiu, and not as endearing as Dongdong, whose appearance alone evokes pity.
Aside from the time she spent with Fang Ming, she really had no strengths or advantages in this 'battle'.
So Aurora thought... at least she should do something for the old man.
"I want to... avenge you..."
Aurora pressed her cheek against Tsukinomiya Yuki's, her voice trembling, "... I... I want to use my own strength, without relying on anyone, to eliminate those... the bad people who made you sacrifice yourself."
"Hmm, isn't this good? Although I don't remember, I think I'll thank you."
Tsukinomiya Yuki gently comforted him.
These words were hardly comforting, Aurora sobbed softly.
"But I actually have ulterior motives... I did this just so that when you regain your memories, you'll look at me more... and maybe even fall in love with me..."
"That's why... I'm not planning to bring anyone."
Aurora wanted to avenge Fang Ming on her own.
She felt this was the only thing she could do for Fang Ming, something that could make Fang Ming like her.
So what I said before was just empty rhetoric.
Aurora herself felt despicable.
But if she didn't do that... how could her older man possibly give her a second glance?
"... I... I'm jealous." Aurora said to Tsukinomiya Yuki again, "Your attitude towards Xiao Qiu and the others, towards Xiao Chun and Dongdong, and even towards... your attitude towards Tsukinomiya, all of it makes me jealous..."
"If I could, I would also want you to have only me in your heart, and for you to protect me the way you protected them..."
"Xiao Xue, is my thinking too terrible...?"
Aurora rarely opens up about her feelings.
However, because she was facing the person she loved most, Aurora was willing to say the words she least wanted to say.
The red-haired girl's passionate emotions made Tsukinomiya Yuki feel her face burning, but at the same time, she also felt unsure of how to face her.
He sighed softly and asked Aurora:
"Do you really like... my past self that much?"
"Certainly!"
Aurora answered immediately without hesitation.
She released Tsukinomiya Yuki, wiped away her tears, and began to recount the past, bit by bit:
"You gave me a new home, you taught me how to fight as Magical Girls, you introduced me to new friends, and you showed me what my future should be like!"
"Although at the beginning... I didn't understand anything, but now I'm certain that I like you, I truly like you, I love you, and no matter what, no matter what you become, this feeling will never change!"
The girl spoke loudly.
She spoke freely about her deepest feelings, openly expressing her affection and love for the boy before her.
That intense, burning emotion left Tsukinomiya Yuki even more bewildered.
He looked at Aurora, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something, and the blush on his face was clearly visible.
This was an expression Fang Ming would never have shown before, whether as Fang Ming or as Xiao Bai.
But now, Tsukinomiya Yuki seems to be very shy and finds it difficult to bear such passionate love from others.
Aurora sniffed, staring at Tsukinomiya Yuki's face, as if she had realized something.
But before Aurora could speak, Tsukinomiya Yuki asked her:
Even if I forget everything I did with you guys before?
"So what if you've forgotten! I'm certain you're the uncle! Even without memories, your soul remains unchanged!"
"So I won't give up! Even if you forget, and maybe you won't remember in the future, none of that matters. We can continue to create new memories! As long as—"
As long as you can be with me...
Aurora ultimately didn't dare to say those words aloud.
(Hey! Go! Little Red! Don't hesitate! You're almost there!)
(Yeah, yeah, this cousin looks like a shy guy who's easily embarrassed. If you try a little harder, you might just win him over!)
(No way!! I'm Mingchun shipper!! I won't accept anyone but Xiao Chun!!)
(Qiu-Bai Shippers has something to say!!)
(Summer-Bai's faction also...)
(Enough with all this partisan squabbling! Can't we just let my cousin decide for himself?!)
"... You seem very happy, Aurora."
Xiao Chun moved closer to Aurora, almost touching Aurora cheek, and stared intently at the red-haired girl who was avoiding her gaze.
Her tone was deep and sinister, like a vengeful ghost emerging from the Nine Netherworld, her voice chilling as she spoke:
"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune! Exploiting others in their time of need! You scoundrel! I really misjudged you!"
"Don't, don't talk about me! If it were you, you would definitely have gone even further than me!"
Aurora immediately retorted.
Xiao Chun suddenly laughed, but it was a terrifying, forced smile.
She said slowly:
"Yes, but... I'm not the one doing this on the Sky Screen right now, Miss Aurora."
"..."
Speechless... Aurora never expected that she, Sky Screen, would choose to launch a direct attack at this moment.
But upon closer reflection, Aurora realized that Sky Screen was absolutely fantastic!
The current Tsukinomiya Yuki is clearly in a state of amnesia. Although it is unclear what his current mental and psychological age is, it is definitely much younger than that of the normal Fang Ming!
Maybe deep down he's still a very innocent little boy who would easily fall for a girl if she treated him even slightly well!
If Aurora Sky Screen presses her advantage now, she might actually be able to take down Fang Ming while he is still suffering from amnesia!
If that's the case... then she'd accept being hunted down by Xiao Chun in real life!
After all, if Aurora and Fang Ming in the Sky Screen were really together, wouldn't that prove that they are a couple recognized by God?
This must be what they mean by "a match made in heaven"!
Aurora thought about it, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
Xiao Chun caught this smile, which infuriated the green-haired girl.
"... Aurora!! You really are--!"
"Look... look at the Sky Screen! Cough cough, Uncle... no, Xiao Xue is about to speak!"
Seeing that the green-haired girl was about to fight her to the death, Aurora immediately changed the subject.
Although this tactic was rather crude, and anyone could see that she was trying to change the subject, fortunately, Xiao Chun fell for it.
