Chapter 60: The Rhythm of Collapse
"I'll wait for you, Ito!"
"I'll keep waiting...... Be sure to wait until you get back! β
"So...... When you want to come back, come back as soon as possible - I want to see you in an instant. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It's been six years since then!
That night, Ito disappeared!
ββIn front of my eyes.
-- From my side.
-- From this world.
"Kiyoura, what are you thinking?"
And then......
"Is that person again? A 'delusional boyfriend in the brain' in an instant! The world said with a helpless expression that there was no way to save it in an instant.
"Obviously, there are so many people chasing the moment, why do you still get such a secondary disease?"
Compared to the world, Xiaoguang's reaction is much better. But that doesn't mean Xiaoguang doesn't care, she's just used to it!
There hasn't been much change for everyone. It's just that the body has become taller, and the body has become plump and mature.
That's it.
"It's not like that!"
Maybe that's it......
"Ito: He's not just a fantasy in my head. Ta Ito......"
I had a strange illness -- a disease called "lovesickness."
"He's my boyfriend!"
It makes me happy!
"He's my favorite person!"
It pains me!
"He cherishes me the most...... My most important ......"
I kept my promise at that time.
I'm still waiting for him, waiting for him to come back.
This time, I want to hear him say to me personally:
ββIt's great to meet you.
ββ And yes.
"I like you the most!"
"Good~Good~Good~, Ito is Moment's boyfriend and a real person. He's a wonderful, wonderful man...... However, in an instant...... If that's true, there's no reason why we've been together all this time not know anything, right? β
"I've asked it many times before!"
"When did you guys get together? How long have you been dating? Can you show him? β
It's just that......
ββ¦β¦β
Unable to answer for a moment, as before, she could only have a sentimental expression, bowing her head (don't understand it as hanging her head).
Everyone except himself forgot about Ito!
"Ito? Do you mean a small stop? β
"Ito? Who's that guy? β
"Ito? I don't know! β
"I don't know ......"
"There's no such person in the class!"
Whether it's Ito's mother, or Ito's friend Taisuke, even Sakura, who has been done excessively by Ito, as well as the classmates and the homeroom teacher......
It's as if the whole world has forgotten about Ito, and only I remember! If you remember Ito, I'm the only one left......
"Look! I can't speak again! β
The world has forgotten "sincerity"!
"World, don't talk about it!"
Kuroda doesn't remember Makoto anymore.
"World, you're overdoing it!"
Kato does not have the impression of Ito......
"In an instant, the world is just talking, don't take it too seriously! As for me, I believe that Ito is really Akina's boyfriend! β
Sakura doesn't have Makoto in her memory.
"Moment's boyfriend...... I'd love to see it! β
The same goes for apricots!
No one knows about Makoto Ito, and no one remembers the memories of being with Makoto Ito. Those joys, those troubles, those sadness...... It's all in vain!
"Compared to this, what about Katsura? Why isn't she here today? β
"Katsura went on a trip with her family!"
"Travel? Why haven't I heard her talk about it? β
"I know! When we were together yesterday, she mentioned it. At that time, it was said that the decision was made suddenly, and it was too late to inform everyone. But I really envy Gui! Traveling as a family? Sure enough, rich people are different! β
But the world doesn't know it!
"No, it has nothing to do with whether you are rich or not!"
I didn't even notice it for a moment......
"Are you stupid? Of course it does! β
- She's not the only one.
β¦β¦
"No......"
"It's not ...... here, either"
"Not here......"
"Not here......"
"It doesn't work here either......"
Although he can't remember it clearly, Yan Ye still remembers.
Someone's name - Makoto Ito.
"Is it because of me again?"
-- The warmth of someone.
"It's so stupid, Yan Ye ......"
- A sad but happy remark.
chasing the scattered fragments, desperately recalling his face, reorganizing the once lost memories; Gradually, I remembered, slowly, that he ......
And the words of that time!
"Forget me, Yanye!"
"Forget me, and live happily ever after......"
How did you hear the sound at that time, and how did you feel sad......
"Wake up, Yan Ye ......"
At that time, there must have been tears streaming down his face......
"I will keep watch over you from afar!"
He was in pain......
"Honest ...... Honest...... Honest ......"
He was scared......
"Honest ...... Monarch!!! β
I should have waited silently like Kiyoura.
I should be a good boy.
"I'm not a good boy now!"
"You may be scolded by Chengjun!"
"Maybe Chengjun will leave me like this......"
But even so......
Even if I have to lose Makoto for this, I will see him again.
"Forget me, Yanye!"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's really good you're okay......"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's all my fault. So...... Forgive yourself ......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Goodbye." (Motor)
ββ¦β¦β
"Goodbye!" (Motor Assida)
ββ¦β¦β
"Goodbye ......" (Bye ~ Bye ~)
ββ¦β¦β
- I can't tell you in person.
"Words and leaves...... Farewell! (Sayoh lala)
"Sure enough......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"You'd better forget me!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"No~ .........................................."
β¦β¦
Such a gentle Chengjun will not disappear irresponsibly, he must have just hidden, he must be trying to trick me!
What a bad eye, Makoto!
But don't worry, Yan Ye will definitely find you out!
It was as if it was meant to be!
From the moment they met, it was already predestined.
Katsura leaves belong to Makoto Ito.
She gave everything she had to herself.
It's just......
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
She gave all her affection.
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
She gave her pure body.
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
Even the soul does not hesitate to give.
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
-- Anytime.
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
-- Wherever you are.
"For the sake of Chengjun......"
-- No matter what happens.
"For the sake of sincerity...... Jun ......"
Katsura has never resented Makoto Ito!
Although, she was never remembered by Makoto Ito until the end.
When Hikaru Kuroda abandoned Makoto Ito; When Kato Otome chooses to forget; When the world of Xiyuan Temple is hated because of love; When Qingpu was helpless to leave; When Fujino Sakura has given up; When the apricot betrays the agreement; There is only Gui Yanye, and there is only her!
I've been silently waiting!
has been silently in love with Chengjun......
Love to the point of incorrigibility, love to the point of distortion!
β¦β¦
"Ha~~ah~~"
At six o'clock in the morning, Takayuki took the morning bus to visit Haruka's condition in the hospital.
Sitting in the empty carriage, Takayuki looked out the window and thought about the things in his dreams.
"Qingpu instant...... Guiyan leaf ......"
Two months have passed since Haruka woke up, and for the past two months, Takayuki has dreamed about these two people every night. The two-month dream recorded the growth of the two for six years, and Hyozhi was like watching a movie, listening to their every word of their heart and watching their every secret.
At first, Takayuki thought it was just a dream; But as the dream developed, he could no longer think of it as a dream. Because he was too real, and he felt too familiar with the people in his dreams!
It's not just where we've met, we've lived together and made unforgettable memories together!
-- But I just can't remember.
Pushing open the door, Haruka was still asleep, and Takayuki entered the room lightly. He would come every morning, sit on the bench in front of the hospital bed, do nothing, just quietly watch Haruka in his sleep.
"Woo~ bang!"
"Are you leaving?"
"Well, I have class today, so I have to leave!"
Every morning, he would stay by Haruka's side for more than ten minutes. Sometimes when Xiao Qian falls asleep on the edge of the bed, he will take off his coat and gently cover her body, but stand quietly for more than ten minutes and leave.
It's almost seven o'clock now, and the number of people on the bus is gradually increasing. Although there were still seats, Takayuki chose to stand.
When he came to the school, Xiaozhi went straight to the department classroom, and there were only a few people at this time. He doesn't talk to anyone either, although he has been in the same classroom for more than a year, he doesn't know most of the people in the classroom.
The day's study was over quickly, and in the afternoon Koyi went to the store with his backpack as usual.
"Trouble two glasses of LW!"
It was Otomu who ordered coffee, and for two months, she and her boyfriend had been coming several times a week.
"Black tea!"
"Iced coffee!"
Suiko still comes often, and sometimes brings Reiko with her, although it's only about once a week, but it's also a long-term customer in the store. Also, she still didn't recognize me, probably really forgot.
"Bugs, what a daze! Hurry up and clean up that table! β
"Mayuki Mayu, there is someone ordering at table seven!"
The Great Empty Temple is still as stinky as ever.
No, maybe it's just tsundere!
"So, I'll go first, store manager!"
"Daikuji, Mayu, see you tomorrow!"
"Don't come again!!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Narumi-senpai!"
Walking home is a long-standing habit. Today, Takayuki is also walking home.
"Go buy some meat! Pick up some vegetables by the way...... Oh, I have to go to the supermarket to buy some cup noodles, and the stock at home is almost exhausted for Shiko. β
I took a detour to the market and went to the supermarket along the way. Carrying a full plastic bag, today is also a busy day!
"I'm back!"
Two months have passed, and the relationship between Shiko and her family is still the same as before. Her family knew that she lived in my house, and they talked to her a few times, but each time there would be a big fight, and after each fight, she would cry a lot.
At the time, all I did was hand her a piece of tissue. Don't even say a hug to her, I can't even say a word of comfort to reassure her.
However, she is moving towards her dream of being a voice actor.
While most submissions are rejected, there are occasional companies that want to try out new people. These days, because of work, I will go home very late every day.
Although there is some loneliness!
But the object of "I'm going home" is no one else, it is filial piety himself!
Put the fresh meat in the freezer, put the vegetables on top to refrigerate, and put the cup noodles in the cupboard neatly.
Takayuki puts the backpack on the couch, then locks the door and leaves. Before arriving at the platform, after twelve hours, he took the bus to the hospital again.
"Brother Narumi ......"
"Xiaoqian, how are you doing? Are the club activities going well? β
In front of Haruka's door, Takayuki, who came to visit Haruka, happened to bump into Xiaoqian who had just walked out of the door. That night, he obviously confessed everything to Xiaoqian, but he still talked to her naturally as before.
"It's okay, it's okay...... Because I have been in good shape recently, the club activities have been going smoothly! What about Brother Narumi? Are you coming to see my sister again? β
But Xiaoqian is different from him! Even though she didn't want to, the tone of her voice was becoming more and more unkind now.
"Really...... Well, Haruka her......"
But Xiaozhi didn't care, he came to Xiaoqian's side and pushed open the door and was about to go in, but he heard the sound of Haruka talking to others, and he quickly closed the door.
Although it was incredible, it was the voice of a man who Takayuki had never heard before. Listening to the joyful laughter coming from the room, Xiaozhi was instantly stunned in place.
"Brother Narumi?"
He's not angry, or he can't!
"Brother Narumi!"
No, it should be said that he is not qualified to be angry......
"Brother Narumi !!"
Should I leave? Is it in the way?
"Not really!"
-- That's what he just thought.
"Not what you think......"
Maybe it's time to leave......
"That person is just a patient here, and he has nothing to do with my sister......"
He said this to himself in his heart!
"Brother Narumi...... Brother Narumi ...... Narumi ......"
"Woo~~"
The door to the ward was opened, and it was a man who would make a good impression just by looking at it.
"Hello!"
Although he is thin and weak, he is more mature than filial piety. The faint hostility in his eyes indicates that he has the opposite personality of impulsiveness and recklessness, as well as ...... His mind.
"Murakami Keimoto, please advise!"
He was wearing a hospital gown, with a stretcher under his arm, and his outstretched hand looked like dry firewood. This shows that he should be a patient with similar medical records to Haruka.
He had a smile on his face, and he looked very happy, but those smiles were all given by Haruka; As for Haruka...... The same smile is on my face at the moment!
The source of those smiles is this man!
"The King of Filial Piety!"
Takayuki, who should have shaken hands with Murakami generously, turned around. It's just that he feels irritable inexplicably, and he just holds his breath in his chest, which makes him feel sad.
"Wait a minute, Xiaozhijun, where are you going?"
He could hear the flustered voice behind him, but this voice could not bring him even a trace of peace of mind.
"Wait for me, Lord of Filial Piety! No, it's not what you think......"
The sound of a sudden disconnection made Takayuki turn his head, and Haruka, who was chasing after him in slippers, fell to the ground. He was nearly four meters away from him, and only one meter away from Murakami, and Xiao Qian was standing right behind Haruka.
"It should be fine!"
Murakami will definitely try his best to save Haruka.
"It must not matter!"
Even if Murakami can't catch up, Xiaoqian behind Haruka can fully hug Haruka before she lands.
"Absolutely ......"
ββ¦β¦β
"I won't let you get hurt!"
The body is already moving moments before the conscious mind makes a decision, and time slows down, as if it has stood still. In the still time, only Takayuki was moving, so he could see the panic in Haruka's eyes and the reassuring smile on his face when he looked at him.
"Bang!"
Takayuki is even faster than Xiao Akane who is standing behind Haruka, and Murakami, who is only a meter away from Haruka, hasn't even been able to react, he catches Haruka! But......
The instinct to not want to touch people immediately reacted violently to Haruka's body. Takayuki's trembling whole body is forced to use his will to control the excess force in his hands.
"Can't hurt her!"
It's just that this firm voice temporarily controlled itself.
"Don't touch me~Don't touch me~Don't touch me~"
However, the lips soon began to squirm, and immediately trembled.
"Is this the only level of my love?" (Wow Ga Oh Mo Yi Wow, Kuo Te Du Ga?) )
A self-deprecation sounded deep inside.
That's right, filial piety's love for Haruka is only to this extent!
Heartfelt resistance to contact with Haruka.
- Obviously her boyfriend.
But I kept recalling, "Don't touch me!"
--It was herself who was holding her.
(inhale-exhale-)
Endure the disgust from the heart, and resist the bad mood that may explode at any time. Takayuki straightened Haruka's body, stroked her smooth and delicate face, and then looked at Haruka's eyes and kissed it under the gaze of Xiaoqian and Murakami.
"Slow down, Prince of Filial Piety!"
However, a small index finger gagged his lips.
"Akane and Mr. Murakami are still watching...... So ......"
"If Haruka had been before, would he have said such a thing?"
Thinking of such a thing, a faint smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face: "Then, let's go back to the ward!"
"Huh?? The Prince of Filial Piety!! β
Ignoring Haruka's reaction, ignoring the resistance of his body and heart, ignoring Xiaoqian's complicated eyes, Murakami has turned into air. The light body is still the first time to pick up, and the soft delicate body is still the first time to lie in the arms and breathe.
For the first time, so close; Again, smell the fragrance of her.
"Bang!"
Nostalgia, remembrance!
left a memory about her, just left quietly, didn't say goodbye, didn't say "break up", what's not okay?
"Okay, let's get along!"
Isn't it enough after dating for so long?
It's enough......
"Don't! I don't want ......" (Yada!) Ada Yo ......)
"Haruka......" (Haruga)
"I don't want to be ...... like that" (Kuna Varayada)
ββ¦β¦β
"It's not enough!" (Takemoto Naga Kanai)
"It's not enough!" (Takemoto Naga Kanai)
"There are many, many places that I haven't been to ......" (Madatak Santak Sangya, Gayidenai)
"There are many, many things that have not been said......" (Madatak Santak Sangsha Hanasiga Yi Dena)
"I don't want to be separated from you yet!" (Daconai of Madahara)
"I still want to be with you......" (Madaanatadoi shows you)
"Haruka !!" (Haruga)
A moment ago, Takayuki was rejected by Haruka with his index finger to ask for a kiss in public; A moment later, he rejected Haruka in the same way. However, the lips of the two were still pressed together, and although there was a finger in between, Haruka still stuck out his tongue.
The tiny lilac tongue hit her fingertips as a matter of course, but she didn't choose to give up because of it. Haruka, with his eyes closed, couldn't see Takayuki's unmistakable disgust and clenched fists at all.
"The Prince of Filial Piety !!"
Their lips were still pressed together, and the little tongues that teased the fingertips felt a slight swaying vibration. Haruka felt strange, and as soon as he had the idea of opening his eyes, he was staggered by Takayuki and hugged tightly in his arms.
He held it so hard that Haruka felt pain and could hardly breathe.
I felt the filial piety of holding Haruka! The self that destroys Haruka because of disgust.,I can't bear the unbearable self of disgust.γ Haruka just endured the pain silently, without the slightest resistance, and just lay quietly on his chest.
It's really ...... Enough is enough......
β¦β¦
"I'll come to see you tomorrow!"
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
Coming out of Haruka's hospital room, Takayuki sighed deeply. With his eyes closed, his back against the wall next to the door.
"Hmm!"
A sneer suddenly came out of Xiaozhi's mouth, and when he turned around, he looked worried as he staggered, and he didn't even pay attention to Xiao Qian, who was following him closely.
When I got out of the hospital, it was already dark. Hyozhi, who was supposed to take the late train back, didn't choose to go to the platform. Walking slowly, a person walks in the night under the street lamp.
He needs to be still, he needs to be quiet, he needs to be quiet, he needs to be quiet.
He's tired!
He's really tired!
I really want to go home quickly and fall asleep, don't care about anything, don't ask anything.
But after all, it can only be just a thought!
Haruka's health is getting better day by day, and she may be discharged from the hospital in a few days, and then it's time to end the relationship with her. But...... In the current state of affairs, that is almost impossible!
I want to break up with her, but I can't hurt her......
"Hmm~ It's a fantasy!"
Maybe it's good to keep it up like that......
That's right, just like that Makoto Ito.
Just socializing, just living together......
No, that's a real fantasy! And......
"Ah~ I'm annoyed!"
"Go back early, go to bed early after eating, and go to school tomorrow!"
That's just too capricious!
β¦β¦
"I'm back!"
"Welcome back......"
"What's wrong, Shiko?"
Xiaoqian is from the door of Yao's house and follows Xiaozhi all the way home. However, I don't know if it's because Xiaozhi thinks about things too seriously, or Xiaoqian's sense of existence is too low, so Xiaozhi didn't notice it until the end.
"Who is this man?"
Xiaoqian's original intention was just to seriously discuss with Xiaozhi about her sister, and the reason why she followed Xiaozhi all the way to Xiaozhi's house was only out of consideration for Xiaozhi's mood, and it would take a lot of time to expect unpleasant things to happen in the conversation.
I didn't want to, but I had a windfall!
"Jingcun Shizi, I'm just staying here in Xiaozhi temporarily, I hope you don't have a strange misunderstanding!"
It's said so, but with an apron and a smiling face, how to look at it makes people feel that the truth is just the opposite.
"Forget it, let's come in first, Xiaoqian!"
Xiaozhi shook his head and didn't get involved in trivial matters between women.
"Hawkers, no matter who I am, no matter what my relationship with Xiaozhi is, in short, come in first! The meal is almost ready, come in for a meal, what's the matter, and talk about it later! β
Sensing that Takayuki's mood was not good, Shiko also stopped joking with interest. The smile on her face calmed down, and she didn't look enthusiastic at all, but it made Xiaoqian feel relieved.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Anyone should have it! When I go to an unfamiliar place again, I will feel more or less uneasy! It varies from person to person, and some people may even be restless, and at this time, you need to find something to distract yourself.
"Is this where Brother Narumi lives?"
Although all that comes to mind is often stupid questions.
"Hmmm! It's okay to live alone, but if you want to live for two, it's a bit cramped! β
But that's okay too!
"Actually, I used to fantasize about living here with Haruka in the future...... It's funny, but I don't hate it! β
"Brother Narumi ......"
"Xiaoqian is here for Haruka's business, right?"
"Yes, only tonight, you can ask anything......"
"Hi Yi Hi Yi ~ The meal is ready!"
"But before that, let's eat!"
braised pork ribs, dried tofu with leeks and cabbage egg soup, one meat, one vegetable and one soup; Although Shiko planned to add two dishes, Takayuki did not change tonight's recipe because of Xiaoqian.
Although he is a guest, although he has not actually had any contact, Xiaozhi does not regard Xiaoqian as an outsider. Because she's Haruka, his sister!
"I'm going!"
It is said that this is to give thanks, to thank God for the blessing of food, but in fact it is supposed to be to comfort the spirits of the dead who have become the living beings of food. That is, this is undoubtedly a hypocrisy, a sin.
Although he is aware, Takayuki does not hate it. So like Xiao Qian, he also closed his eyes, put his hands on his chest, and put his hands together.
"The food is so delicious, but the soup is ......"
"It's a pity!"
Takayuki eats a lot, and he rarely leaves leftovers when he and Shiko are two. There is one more Xiaoqian today, but almost all the soup remains.
"Hey! It's a bit salty, I admit it! But it doesn't have to be so excessive! β
"No, it's salty to that extent, don't use 'salty' to fool the past!"
That's to the point where you wonder if you spilled all the bags of salt into the pot.
"But no, I should have just put a little salt!"
"Only a little? Let's put it little by little! β
"Because, it's never tasted!"
"Such a big pot of soup, how can it be salted so quickly!"
Although he wanted to say this, Takayuki still held back, after all, such a thing didn't happen once or twice. He used to think that the soup was a little salty, but he felt very tired every day, so he felt that his appetite was also good, so he didn't pay attention to it.
But today's soup is so salty that it can't be eaten.
"Forget it, just make the soup in the future the same as before! Don't be like this again! β
"Hi Yi Hi Yi~"
Cooking well, but not making soup well, that's just an image that Shiko deliberately created. If she puts too much salt, she naturally knows!
After all, no matter how you don't know how to make soup, you won't be stupid enough to put five salts in the same pot of soup, right? Even if the amount is small each time, it is a five-time amount, and it will be salty like that, so it is more natural to take it for granted.
And as for why she did it......
"So, Brother Narumi! Can I start by asking a 'nonsensical' thing? β
"Yes, but before that, can you tell you who it is?"
"You two talk, I'll go to my room and do some homework!"
Feeling that it was another troublesome thing, Xiaozhi was ready to run away and go to the room to take shelter from the wind and waves. But that's just a fantasy after all!
"No, please Brother Minghai must stay!"
Anger, that's right, anger should I say!
After eating, Xiao Qian has calmed down a lot, but the anger in her heart has not subsided.
Narumi Takayuki can't be a half-hearted person. Although she didn't understand, she saw all his thoughts about his sister.
Brother Narumi really likes his sister.
Xiao Qian can be very confident and sure!
After all, Brother Narumi waited for his sister for three years. Although he rarely met Brother Narumi in the past three years, Senior Sister Shuiyue, who often came to visit his sister, often brought news of him.
In the past three years, Brother Narumi has not interacted with anyone. didn't even get very close to anyone of the opposite sex, even Senior Sister Shuiyue, who was often together, he rarely had contact.
He became a man!
I always feel so pitiful!
-- This impression was deeply imprinted in Akane Suzumiya's heart.
After his sister woke up, he also proved his heart for his sister with his actions.
I went to the hospital in the morning to see my sister, left the hospital and went to school, I had to go to the store after school, and I had to go to the hospital after work, and I couldn't get back home until late.
For two months, every day...... Every day......
The body gradually became thinner, and his eyes gradually became haggard, which sometimes really made Xiao Qian worry whether he would suddenly faint halfway down.
However, my sister didn't notice it......
Whether it's the fact that Brother Narumi comes to visit her once every morning, or the fact that Brother Narumi is emaciated and actually exhausted, or ......
My sister is so happy! So happy that she seems to have changed as a person! Become dependent, become willful, become less attentive......
Mr. Murakami would accompany his sister in his sister's hospital room every day when Narumi was away, and this kind of thing has been going on for more than a month since he met his sister in rehabilitation.
He likes his sister, such a thing, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's just that everyone has taken care of it, and no one has said it.
And this matter, my sister must also ......
Every time she thinks of something like this, Akane Suzumiya always wants to get angry. I'm angry with myself, I'm angry with Murakami, but I want to be angry with Haruka Suzumiya and Takayuki Narumi......
Obviously, Brother Minghai has been waiting for his sister for three years, and after his sister recovers, the two of them will be together again, obviously the two of them like each other so much!
That's exactly what happened...... (Sniffing Nanori)
Why is this happening? (Dosidkhon Nadandah)
"I'm Akane Lianggong, a second-year ...... of Bailing High School affiliated to Bailing University."
"Really...... I see...... You're the younger sister of Takayuki's girlfriend, right? But I don't understand! Why are you so hostile to me with an angry face? β
"It's hard to ......"
"Shiko Jingcun, she is the eldest daughter of the Jingcun family who lives next to me. I ran away from home after a big fight with my parents, and then I ran into ......"
"Takayuki, who figured out why, took me home and let me live here temporarily. Too easy. β
"That's it!"
Shiko interrupted Xiaoqian and herself one after another, coupled with her strange tone, which made Takayuki feel puzzled. He didn't know why Shiko did that, and although it was better to explain things clearly than anything else, he was disgusted by Shiko like this.
"No, I don't have any interest in the relationship between Brother Narumi and Miss Shiko Keimura! What I want to ask is: It's late, can Brother Narumi take me home? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, I'll take you home! β
I didn't answer right away because Xiao Qian's words were completely unexpected. Takayuki stood up from the floor and said to Shiko:
"I'll send Xiaoqian home, I'm afraid I'll come back later, so you can sleep first!"
"No, I'll wait until you come back to sleep!"
Shiko sends Takayuki to the door, and Shiko looks like she's joking, but her voice makes Takayuki think she's serious.
"Whew~Bang!"
A gust of wind closed the door, and through an iron door, Takayuki no longer knew if there was still a smile on Shiko's smiling face.
