Action of the [Love Monarchical type Girlfriend]: Going up, kept rising up... I couldn’t close my eyes. Don’t be afraid. It would definitely work this time... I want to see him... I want to hear his voice. I want him to stare at me. I want... I want to touch him with my bare hands.

I missed you so much... I wanted to be held in your arms... I dumped all the scary things which were in my way and rose up from the abyss. I did my best to stretch my hands ahead as if I was trying to pick up the stars. Even one inch closer was better for me. I just wanted to be closer to him... It would be fine. I had already tried so many times. And this time I would arrive there as well for sure... Even in the endless darkness, I could still see a beam of light.

Though the light were so faint that it was hardly able to be seen, it still gave me great hope.

That was right. As long as I could gaze at that beam of light devotedly and keep going up, I would definitely be there... And finally, I arrived.

I reached to the dark gray ice layer, through which I could see the ‘outside world’ vaguely.

The line which divided ‘this place’ into two parts was the border of consciousness and subconsciousness, the diaphragm of mind, the boundary of spirit and the cutting line of soul.

She imprisoned me in her deep consciousness and prevented me from sensing any information from the outside world... I could only struggle to go up and reach to this ice layer, watching the outside world through the ice... Although I shared memories and experiences with her, I still wanted to see him with my own eyes.

I wanted to feel him as much as I could. I wanted to spend more time with my Cheng Jun... I reached out my hand and touched the ice layer, telling my burning desire with my eyes closed.

The space around me started to shake. My strong emotion of missing him even cracked the ice layer which separated me from the outside.

So long as I kept doing this, I could be outside temporarily... Although she would push me back to the deepest place again afterwards, I still felt it worthwhile as far as I could see Cheng Jun.

He had promised to have a date with me. Ha ha~ A date~ Last date had ended so fast and I hadn’t even had the time to enjoy the moment. This time I had to leave some good memories.

As for the place for our date, I wanted to go the amusement park. Sitting in the Ferris wheel with him was something I had always longed for. I wished I could lean on his shoulders.

The aquarium sounded good too. It would be so romantic there.

However, Cheng Jun had said that he would take care of our next date... So where would he bring me to? I was looking forward to it, ha ha ha~

What if we ended up in a hotel... Well~~~

“Stop thinking like a fool. This body doesn’t belong to you alone.” A sulky voice came through the ice layer to my ear.

Then I opened my eyes and saw a person who looked exactly like me standing at the other side of the ice layer and staring at me with icy look on her face.

I looked at her right in the eyes... She was me, or so to speak, I was part of her...

“Ah, the other me... What are you doing here?”

“Puff, did you just call me the other you? It does match your character... Hmm, aibo? Come on~ you gotta give me a break. We are not in that kind of relationship.”

After the other me had called me ‘aibo’, she held her arms with her eyebrows knitted while showing a loathing expression. Then she turned her head to look away... But what did she mean by saying ‘aibo’? Ah, I see.

After searching in my memory for a while, I finally understood what the word ‘aibo’ meant. I heard the other me murmur in a low voice, “Am I crazy? Why did I joke with her?” Those were not her exact words but I believed she meant that. It actually made me feel happy. Then I gave out a smile and said, “Ha ha, you have joked a lot lately. I have to give Cheng Jun credit about this.” The old her would never crack a joke, especially the ones which sounded like a self-mockery.

Thanks to Cheng Jun, she also became a bit softer than before. Was this iceberg girl beginning to melt?

The words I had just said seemed to hit the sensitive spot of her. Her extreme anger even begot a laughter. Then she stared at me and began to sneer, “Ha ha ha, Soft Bing... I should just call you ice-cream. After all, you have such a pure and ignorant brain. Ha ha ha ha~” Her reaction met my expectation. So I had already thought of my answers.

“Really? I was separated from you, remember? So call me ignorant or stupid or whatever. I don’t see that having these characters is a bad thing as long as I can find happiness. Ho ho～”

“...” Ha ha ha, I just got her speechless, that arrogant Miss Lian Bing.

So she didn’t realize I still had some shrewdness myself? Lol~

“You are unbelievable.” She could only utter those words.

“You are talking about me... or you? Or... us?”

“Humph!”

She didn’t respond. Instead, she snorted and stamped on the ice fiercely. With the sound of the crack, I saw the surface of the ice layer. Then I cried out in surprise and took a step back. The next second, with a thunderous thud, a huge hole was broken in the ice.

Had she just broken the ice wall by herself? I emerged from the water and looked at her in a daze while she stared back me.

Never had her wrinkled eyebrows been unfolded when she saw me. I already got used to her impatient expression. And I always managed to let her abandon all her graceful gestures as a lady and show her detest to me straightly.

I knew that she hated me.

Deep down her heart, she hated me a lot.

Or I could call her ‘denying herself’.

The part of her that she wanted to deny was the base which formed me.

Meanwhile, she suppressed me in deep of her consciousness in order to eliminate me... However, to my surprise, she had just destroyed the barrier and let me out on her own.

“What are you still doing there? Are you expecting me to pull you up?”

“Well? It’ll be better if you can lend me a hand...”

Hearing me saying this, she expressed an impatient look. Still, she reached out her hand to the water.

Then I grabbed her hand immediately, being afraid that she would regret abruptly.

After she had pulled me out, she let go of my hand at once... A strange feeling rushed to my brain due to the body contact we had just made. Now I could touch that light I had always been eager for anytime when I wanted.

However, I didn’t rush outside excitedly. Instead, I watched the view of her back.

After a long silence, she said something with her back to me, “... It’s your turn.”
