For the first time in the summer, Kase experienced the pain of being overwhelmed by the tide of panic.

His little green plum almost fell into a catastrophe in front of his eyes, and he knew that if he failed to pull the other party up, this guilt and discomfort would last for a lifetime.

In the end, Kase exerted all his strength, and then Chiaki pressed the wall of the well with his foot, approaching the wellhead little by little.

With the two working together, Chiaki finally returned to solid ground. Who knew that as soon as she arrived on the road, she was tightly held in her arms by Huang Se.

"Xiao Qianqiu, I'm so scared." He rested his head on her neck, his whole body trembling, and she felt a chill on her neck.

"It's okay, didn't you pull me up?" Chiaki, who was originally full of tears, looked at the boy in front of him who looked like an injured golden retriever, and finally had to gently stroke Huang Se's hair.

In fact, she is the character who "wants to hug and ask for comfort", right? Why does it seem the other way around?

"Obviously I should have cried, why did I ...... in the end" Chiaki sighed, seemingly a little puzzled by the situation in front of her.

"The thought of almost losing Xiao Qianqiu, I ...... It's so uncomfortable......" Huang Se choked up, wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and then showed a happy smile again, "It's okay...... Xiao Qianqiu is fine. ”

"Crying and laughing, puppy peeing." Chiaki couldn't help but shake her head, complaining on her lips, but her heart was as soft as a marshmallow.

A brilliant flower bloomed next to the tear-stained face, dazzling and gentle, as if it had broken into a golden sunflower field, never wanting to come out again.

In Kuse's crying and laughing expression, Chiaki understood something. She may not be as simple as simple family affection for her own bamboo horse.

The two tidied up their appearance, agreed not to tell the elders about this matter, and then returned to the courtyard side by side.

As a result, both of them were scolded by their respective parents.

"Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all," Chiaki's mother was very angry when she saw her gray-faced daughter, "What's going on on your knees!?" ”

Qianqiu looked down at the grazed knee and pouted, "I accidentally tripped and fell." ”

"Don't let me worry at all!" Chiaki's mother hurriedly ran to the house to get disinfectant alcohol.

"Ryota, what about your swear before you go out? How to protect Qianqiu? Kuse's mother was also very unhappy with her son's behavior of not protecting the girl well.

"Auntie, I was careless, and Ryota helped me walk a long way in the end." Chiaki couldn't help but defend him on the side.

If it weren't for him, she might have been smashed in that dry well by now.

"Mom, I was wrong, this will never happen in the future!" Huang Se immediately stood up straight and admitted his mistake. Although it was not his fault in the first place, he was extremely guilty of himself at the moment.

If Xiao Qianqiu hadn't been pulled up at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You, too, will be a little manly in the future." Huang Se's mother stroked the unwiped tears in the corners of his eyes, which made Huang Se's face red and his ears red.

Qianqiu looked at Huang Se and found that the other party was also secretly looking at her at the moment, and couldn't help but raise a bright smile on the corner of her mouth.

Only she knows that from that day on, a seed called "like" was buried deep in her heart, and after years of getting along, it finally broke through the ground.

"Maybe you're not a one-way street." Seven nights of silence after listening to the story.

The two boys she came into contact with during this time, if Keigo Keibe seemed to be an unapproachable person, but actually quite easy to understand, then Ryota Kase was the opposite, seemingly the easiest to see, but elusive.

He often makes exaggerated and frivolous behaviors, sometimes happy and unhappy will be clearly displayed on his face, and sometimes he speaks without going through his brain.

However, the above actions are not all aspects, he has a very clear boundary in his heart, only those he approves, he will get close to, and even sell stupidity. Others, on the other hand, either use a smile mask to leave or avoid contact.

Qiye felt that she had probably unconsciously gained his approval, but when it came to the relationship between the two, she felt that it was just on the surface, except for some understanding of his temper, she didn't fully know his real thoughts and thoughts.

Even so, she could see that Chiaki Ayase was a special kind of existence for Ryota Kuse. But whether she likes it or not, she can't see through it.

The feeling between childhood sweethearts is too subtle. Growing up together, they gradually got used to each other's savings. The other person seems to have become a part of himself, so it is difficult to discern whether it is family affection or love.

Maybe even Kase himself can't see clearly. Too many people are courting him, and it is very likely that the feeling will become unusually dull.

"I hope so." Chiaki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.

However, even as Nanaya said, it doesn't seem to be of much use now.

At Huang Se's begging, Kasamatsu finally agreed to Chiaki to watch their training, but asked Chiaki not to affect the training of the basketball club, and at the same time, Huang Se should not be distracted during training.

"Thank you, little Qianqiu!" While resting on the way, Huang Se happily took the thermos cup in Qianqiu's hand, and after taking a sip, he was a little puzzled, "Why is it warm?" ”

"Drinking cold water after strenuous exercise is easy to 'blow up your lungs,'" Qianqiu said with a glance, "warm water warms the stomach." ”

"I'm not that delicate." Huang Se muttered, took the clean towel handed by Chiaki, and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Captain, I don't think the rules can be broken." The team members on the side were indignant.

These two people are showing affection on the sidelines, and they can't train seriously at all, okay!?

Maybe at first they would have worked harder because there was a girl watching next to them, but after discovering that this girl only focused on Huang Se, they had to give up this idea. Girls are an effective resource that can be fought for, and a woman like Chiaki Ayase is completely a third sex.

"Ignore the seniors." Huang Se looked at Chiaki's tangled expression and patted her on the shoulder. He couldn't see that his seniors were joking.

"Hmm." Chiaki nodded. She is bound to serve only Huang Se alone.

After the training, Kase sent Chiaki to the coffee shop as promised, and then found a vacant seat to start doing his homework.

The store manager was very enthusiastic about him, and he even loosened his free muffins today.

Nonsense, when he came to the coffee shop, there were twice as many people as at other times, and there was such a popular glitter town, could he not be welcome?

"Hello guest, this is the milk tea you ordered." Chiaki leaned slightly, showed a cute and sweet smile, and gently placed the milk tea on the table, and winked playfully at Huang Se by the way.

Whoa! Chiaki-chan's maid pretends to be cute! Even if I had seen him once before, I was still amazed to see him this time.

He somewhat understood why those otaku were so obsessed with the maid café, this kind of cute attribute was simply irresistible.

"Xiao Qianqiu, let's go to Enoshima on the weekend to play!" Kase put down his pen and stopped Chiaki, who was about to turn around.

"Yes!" Chiaki nodded happily, then thought of something, and asked with a bit of apprehension in her tone, "That, can you call Nanaya-chan too?" ”

"Huh? Can't we just do it? Huang Se seemed a little puzzled.

Enoshima is their favorite place to visit when they were young, and although they have only been there once, they are deeply attracted by that beautiful place, and it is definitely the most beautiful memory.

"Well, I'm staying at Seven Nights House for the time being, and I always feel that it's not good for the two of us to go out together on weekends and leave her alone at home." Chiaki pondered.

"Okay...... Huang Se agreed a little reluctantly, "but just the three of us!" ”

He definitely didn't want to have another foursome date, in case it was Akaji who invited him this time, hehe.

If it weren't for Xiao Akaji, he would have known, hehe.

After returning to the accommodation from the store, Chiaki couldn't wait to tell the news for seven nights, but got a big speechless face from the other party.

"Okay." After being silent for a while, Qianqiu thought that Qiye was going to refuse, but she didn't expect her to agree.

As soon as Huang Se got home, he couldn't wait to check the information and plan the itinerary, and he didn't even notice that his sister came to his room to give him supper.

"I said, are you kid in love lately?" Putting the supper on the table, Ryoko Kase teased her brother.

"No, sis." Kase shook his head like a rattle.

Hmph, how could you hide your little bit of caution from my sister and me. Ryoko Kase snorted coldly.

His younger brother has always been very popular, and there seems to be no sign of temptation before. Recently, however, he has been coming home late every day and planning trips on weekends, something he would never do before. However, looking at his desperate denial, Ryoko felt that he would not interrogate him for the time being. Her younger brother doesn't look swaggering, but he is quite innocent in this regard.

"Hawkers, sister, do you remember Xiao Qianqiu?" At the mention of his childhood sweetheart, Huang Se is much happier.

Although Chiaki repeatedly told her not to reveal her whereabouts to his parents, she could always tell her sister, and she knew that her sister liked Chiaki very, very much at the beginning.

"Why did you mention her all of a sudden?" However, Ryoko Kase looked at him with obvious surprise.

"No, nothing." Seeing her sister's frightened appearance for a moment, Huang Se suddenly didn't have any mood to speak.

"You have a good rest, remember to finish the supper!" Ryoko Kase patted her brother on the shoulder as if nothing had happened, then turned around and left.

Gently closing the door, she leaned against the door frame, and for a moment there was a sense of powerlessness.

It's probably called running away. A wry smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

I don't know why Ryota suddenly asked this question.

You must know that this name can be described as a Voldemort-like existence in the Huang Se family.

Ryota Kuse's casual question, like a pebble thrown into the lake, cut through the peace that the family had maintained for many years.

And the secrets buried in time are gradually beginning to surface.
