Chapter 280: The fear of not being able to continue to suppress oneself
Ying Lili's hesitation and uncertainty were written on her face when she opened her mouth to say this, but the words she spit out after taking a deep breath could just show her determination to bring up this matter.
Kazuya looked at his girlfriend in shock, he never thought that Eiri Ri would ask him such a question.
"What do you mean to be too doting on Ayase? Explain it! Kazuya's expression is no longer as gentle as when he tried to calm things down just now, he believes that he is absolutely at a loss in helping Kirino, but helping Ayase solve the problem is also a crucial thing, especially when Ayase just complained that Kazuya didn't care enough about herself, and was even worried that Kazuya would leave her, Ying Lili's words that seemed to be a little unkind made his face really look a little unpleasant.
Of course, if Eiri knew the specific content of Ayase's outburst, maybe she wouldn't have expressed her thoughts so simply now, but, although she somewhat learned about the specific situation of Kazuya's dispute with Ayase, Eiri only understood it as an isolated incident in which Kazuya invited the black cat without informing Ayase and "raided" Nayako, and did not associate it with Ayase's hidden inner anxiety.
In other words, the irritability hidden in Yingli Lili's heart, as well as her dissatisfaction with some of Kazuya's "sister control" behavior, has made her have no time to take care of these facts.
So, despite discovering that Kazuya's face was a little pale, Ying Riri continued: "It's that you care a little too much about Ayase, and that incident when she was a child made her feel extra dependent on you, but, now that she's also a middle school girl after all, isn't she a good solution to many things herself?" Why do you need to intervene one more time to help her? β
"However, there are still a lot of problems that Ayase can't solve, right? For example, the sudden problem of Kanako's stage performance today, if I wasn't there, Ayase would have been helpless about this situation, right? Kazuya frowned, suppressed his anger, and explained.
"I know, she's not familiar with these areas, of course she doesn't know what to do, I know," Ying Li Li also grabbed her somewhat disheveled ponytail and waved forward a little ventingly, "But, even so, she has to suffer setbacks in her unfamiliar field, right?" If there were no setbacks, would she have to live under your wing for the rest of her life? β
"Don't you think Ayase hasn't suffered setbacks? I won't talk about it when I was a child, do you think she is very successful as a contracted model now, and she made a smooth debut as a model? I haven't helped her with any of these things, so what's wrong with helping her with some things now? Kazuya paused, and then continued, "Ying Lili, you know, she is my sister, as an older brother, if possible, I solve some unnecessary problems for her, does this also mean that it is normal?" Besides, when I was with me at the time, Ayase asked me if I would leave her, didn't you also say, would you help her and take care of her together? β
"Yes, I did say such a thing, but in the current situation, such as this time, it is obvious that you promised me and Kirino first, right?" Ying Lili's expression also became more irritable, and the vague unhappiness in her heart was intertwined with the emotions she told her with reason that she should be more tolerant of herself, making her thoughts a little confused.
"So, didn't I explain it to you as well? Don't you accept it too? Don't say something like 'I didn't want to do it at the beginning' at this time! β
"Well, do you think I could have said it openly? If I say it, you're going to say something like 'You promised me to take care of Ayase together,' right?" At that time, you just made up your mind to go to Ayase's side, and no matter what attitude I expressed, it was useless, right? So I might as well accept it, but because what you're doing has led to our failure, what's the point of me complaining now? "Finally,When Kazuya was also a little impatient,Ying Lili's nerve that she had been forcibly holding to prevent herself from becoming angry was also broken.,Although she was angry, even if she stood up, there was a head gap with Kazuya.,But Ying Lili, who looked up at Kazuya's eyes, also unabashedly expressed her anger at this time.γ
"You think, you think, this is all your own assumption, right? If you were really firm at the time, why couldn't I listen to you? At the end of the day, you didn't express your thoughts, how would I know what you thought, I don't have the ability to read minds yet, okay? β
"Do you think I'll really believe what you say? Kazuya, this question is very old-fashioned and annoying, but I always want to ask you, if you had to choose between me and Ayase, who would you choose to help? β
When she said this, Ying Lili immediately subconsciously covered her mouth, she knew that her words still poked Kazuya's scales.
"Well, no, I meanβ" Eriri subconsciously wanted to argue, but her words were interrupted by Kazuya.
"-I know what you mean, but you've been asking this question for a long time, right?" To Ying Lili's surprise, Kazuya's face did not show a richer expression than just now, his face became even paler, but he did not have that excited and angry look, "Or, I chose you at that time, and you have always had doubts about my choice in your heart, right?" You'll feel like you've won a bad day, because that last phone call swayed my decision, so you've been nervous, right? In fact, it's not the core who is more important, you or Ayase, what you want to ask is, if I were given another chance to choose, that day, who would I choose between you and Shiyu-senpai, or Kato, right? β
"No, it's not like that, I'm just simply, I think your attitude towards Ayase is somewhat, too strange." Ying Lili stammered a little, but, in her heart, she silently admitted Kazuya's words.
To be honest, Eiri never felt that Ayase was a problem, at best she was like a clingy little girl, she also had a good impression of Ayase, and she also believed that as long as time went by, when Ayase had a boy she liked, and Ayase had a more independent idea, her dependence on Kazuya would naturally disappear.
However, this time Kazuya gave up helping herself and Kirino and chose Ayase, but she couldn't help but think of another hypothesis, if at this time, it was Shiyu or Kato who was in her position, then Kazuya would still be so decisive to help Ayase? Ying Li Li didn't know the answer to this question, maybe she would, maybe not, but this sudden question re-exposed all her fears. From the day the relationship was confirmed, both Shiwa and Kato seemed to have thoroughly accepted the end result, and Kato, who was a good friend, would even make fun of his relationship with Kazuya - just like she did at the National Stadium, Shiha was in slightly worse shape, but from the fact that she was clearly trying to keep her distance from Kazuya, Eiri Riri knew the efforts of the person she had always regarded as a rival.
However,The more this is the case,The more suspicious Ying Li Li has about herself,The stable relationship with Kazuya,It seems that it's not all because of the mutual trust between the two,But because of the hard work of the two,And the painstaking concessions of others,Ying Li Li is not a hypocritical girl,At least she doesn't want to make herself hypocritically think that this relationship with Kazuya is really the result of other people giving up and giving in,But,This unexplained fear still surrounds her,After all,For Ying Lili,She's lost a decade,So, she is particularly sensitive to the "loss" again.
And this point of Ying Li Pear,And also in fact, I know it.,Dating,This black history of choice,It will always be a hurdle between the two that needs to be overcome.,And also originally planned to use a more gentle way to prove his firmness for Ying Lipear.,But this time,It was originally more of a matter between Ayase and Kirino ,But let Kazuya and Ying Li pear peel off this problem in front of the two of them.γ
"If I tell you now, even if I am given another chance to choose that day, I will choose you, even if you don't call that day, I will choose you, do you believe me?" Listening to Ying Lili's words of denial, Kazuya sighed and said.
"Hmm." Ying Li Li nodded, and let out a whimpering sound, but did not express her attitude.
"I know you're not going to believe me, but, Yingli Li, you can believe me or not, but can you trust yourself more? Do you think that the me you won is such a fragile me? β
"I don't know, I really don't know." A rare fragile expression appeared on Ying Li's usually proud and confident face, and the originally loose golden braids were completely loosened at some point, and the long golden hair was scattered on Ying Li's shoulders, accompanied by her non-stop sobbing sound, and Kazuya's mood slowly began to fall.
"Can you explain? The reason why you don't believe in yourself, why you don't believe me. He tried his best to show a soothing tone, and Kazuya asked seriously.
"I don't know," Eriri still muttered weakly, "but, Kazuya, if you really care about me, why haven't we had a single date for more than a month?" β
"It's because we're both in trouble, right? At first, you have to redraw the draft of the winter comi, then my soccer game, after that it is to prepare for the exam, and then you add the matter of Kirino to it, these are inevitable situations, aren't they? Kazuya was stunned and replied with a wry smile.
"But if you want to find it, you can find it, right? When you're celebrating at the end of your game, you can celebrate alone with me, can't you? After helping Kirino back that day, we still have time for an evening date, don't we? Even in the winter when comi, if you tell me that the two of us are not going to go to comi and go to other places together, I will agree, these times can actually be taken out, can it? Ying Lili asked with tears in her eyes.
"But these times are not right, right? Either there is something more important, or there is not enough time. β
"So, if you really want to date the two of me, you won't feel inappropriate, and you still don't understand!" Eiri shook her head, interrupted Kazuya's explanation, and continued, "You still don't understand! The so-called liking a person means that after being with him, I will try my best to be with him, instead of thinking about the inappropriate time and the inappropriate opportunity, you know? It's a lot of the time, but in the midst of so many things that don't fit, do you really just take it for granted? Can't there be an opportunity to turn the unsuitable into the right? β
Kazuya looked at Ying Li Li in a daze, he found that he couldn't keep up with Ying Lili's train of thought, and even under Ying Lili's words, even he himself had a kind of doubt, the kind of doubt that he had never had at all, whether he really chose Ying Lili.
"No, this is just a girl's abnormal thinking circuit! Don't be fooled by her! Kazuya shook his head and calmed his spirit.
Then, Eiriri's words continued: "Kazuya, seeing that you agreed to Ayase's request so decisively today, I remembered that you always took the initiative to help Ayase, and I didn't know what to say, and the situation I expected to appear to invite him didn't appear, whether it was Megumi or Kasumigaoka Shiyu, they were all very good." But I just don't know! You've worked so hard for your sister, but have you ever worked so hard for me? I didn't show anything about the National Stadium, but you must know that I was impressed, right? After all, that's the only thing you've done in a month to take the initiative to think about me! β
"I know I look like I'm being vexatious right now, but, I just can't stand it, Kazuya, it's not like you don't know how to do it, you can do so many things for Ayase, you can do it for me, right? But why didn't you try it? Ying Lili's face was already full of tears, and Kazuya could only watch Ying Lili's loud catharsis in a daze, and watched Ying Lili spit out the last sentence in a daze:
"I'm sorry, Kazuya, I quarreled, I don't want to, but I'm afraid, so, can we calm down and think about this issue between us?"
