31. Chapter XXXI
Hongcun sent Ah Chan home.
They didn't talk much along the way, because Chan stared out the window in a daze, and didn't seem to want to talk - obviously, she knew that what she was doing might not be good, but she didn't want to test it again from other people's mouths.
It was a familiar expression to Hongcun, and it was exactly the expression he had had on when he was in the car beforeβan expression that he didn't want to think too much about.
So Hongcun didn't mention Ash Saki again, nor did he talk about Shihara, he was really very understanding at times, and he was never too aggressive - maybe because he had also experienced a chaotic time, so he was more understanding and considerate than ordinary people.
When they arrived at the door of Ah Chan's house, it was already dark.
The other houses on the street had already turned on the lights, and the light reflected through the windows seemed warm and soft, except for Sakurai's house, which was still dark and cold, without a single human voice.
Ah Chan opened the car door silently and got out of the car, but she stood at the door of the car, looked at her door and hesitated for a moment, but turned around and finally spoke in a low voice: "Minister......?" β
She looked towards Hongcun with a pleading expression: "...... I'm a little scared, can you come in with me? β
Hongcun was slightly stunned.
He could detect that the driver in the front seat was quietly peeking at the two of them from the rearview mirror - after all, Sakurai Chan's appearance was really impossible to ignore, and Hongcun's appearance was not bad, and the entanglement between teenagers and girls was always easy to arouse people's curiosity.
Then he looked at the dark house behind her.
In the dim darkness of the night, the lonely house did seem to take a little courage before anyone dared to approach it.
Hongcun Shuzao suddenly couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, he sighed and got out of the car.
A slight smile appeared on Ah Chan's face, and she looked relieved that someone was by her side.
They walked through the yard, and Chan took out the key from her pocket. But it was getting late, and she frowned, poked it several times in annoyance, and didn't poke the key into the lock.
Hongcun couldn't help but smile softly and took out his phone to illuminate her.
"When I came back early, it wouldn't have been so dark and scary."
seemed to feel that she had done something stupid, and Ah Chan's tone was a little embarrassed. She finally pushed the door open, reached out and turned on the light in the hallway, and spoke in a low voice.
She walked into the house before he did, and looked down for a replacement slipper.
When Hongcun walked into the house and helped her close the door, she was already crouching in front of him, placing her slippers at his feet. If you look down from above, the girl's neck and back will bend into a very soft curve, like a petite kitten waiting to be caressed by the owner.
Such scenery and associations always make people's hearts itch a little.
"But even if you come back early, after dark, it's scary to leave the lights on."
But Ah Chan didn't notice anything wrong with her posture - her posture was originally very ordinary, and what was not ordinary was only her beauty.
She placed her slippers at her guests' feet, stood up, and continued to speak.
"Because of space."
"When it comes to space, I always feel ...... It's scary. β
Ah Chan turned her face sideways, and pushed her long hair behind her ears, revealing a fair and beautiful side face.
"I wonder if there are bad guys hiding inside, and sometimes I think that if something happens one day, maybe no one will find out. If he disappears in this house one day, maybe no one will know. β
"I wasn't so scared at first, but after my grandmother died...... I just feel so lonely. β
Hongcun sighed and watched her speak: "That's why you don't want to go home?" β
Ah Chan was like a child who sincerely admitted her mistakes, lowered her head and said "um" softly.
"Actually, it's not Ashizaki-kun." She said in a tone of reflection and repentance, "Anyone can do it, as long as they can accompany me, it's okay." So, please don't blame Ashisaki-kun for taking me out, it's my own problem. β
"That's not right." But Hongcun calmly retorted: "Although the people who are seduced may have their own flaws, it must be those who are more to blame." β
Hearing him say this, Ah Chan was stunned for a moment, she finally glanced up at Hongcun, and then couldn't help but smile: "...... Thank you? β
That smile made Ah Chan look like a confused child, and Hongcun couldn't help but touch her long hair, "So...... Don't linger outside that late in the future. β
When this topic was mentioned, Ah Chan suddenly stopped talking.
After a while, she suddenly called out to him, "Minister." β
He heard her say, "So, if I'm scared at home alone, call you, will you come?" β
If someone you like asks you this phrase one day, then I'm afraid no one will answer "no".
Hongcun didn't want to answer "no", but when he thought of the things at home, he couldn't give a promise with certainty, saying "yes".
So he remained silent.
He likes Sakurai Chan. From the first time she walked into the gym, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
If it weren't for the fact that his father at home was seriously ill and he couldn't distract himself, he would never just look at Shihara and Ash Saki from the side and do nothing.
But since he didn't pursue her at the beginning, he naturally couldn't answer her at this moment.
After a while, Hongcun said in a low voice, "Then, go and make peace with Ziyuan." β
"Socialize with him well and rely on him well." He advised in a very mature tone, "Don't just go out with people you don't like because of anger." β
Ah Chan didn't answer this question, she asked rhetorically, "Is Ash Saki-kun bad?" β
Hiromura paused, "It's not that Ash Saki is bad. β
"It's just that Ashaki is ...... now I am still on the wrong path, and I am not worth relying on. He patted Ah Chan on the shoulder, "If you really like him, maybe you can make him turn back, but if you just indulge yourself and follow him, maybe you will be led into a depraved situation by him." β
"Sakurai, maybe you think life is hard right now, but don't just give up and persevere."
Hearing the last sentence, Ah Chan couldn't help laughing, "...... It's become the tone of the minister again. β
Hongcun also smiled.
He said softly in a low voice, "Because I think you deserve the best in the world." β
His tone was very sincere, and his demeanor was very serious, but this sentence was undoubtedly beyond the scope of "a minister who cares about the members of the ministry".
Ah Chan was stunned, as if she had finally noticed something.
"Minister......?"
"Huh?"
"Somebody told me you like me, is it true?"
Hongcun paused: "...... What did Ash Saki tell you? β
"That's not the point--" Ah Chan asked unrelentingly, "-Is it true?" β
This time, Hongcun's hesitation was a bit long.
"How," he finally looked troubled, "should I say I like it, or is it better to say that ......I have a crush?" β
But he quickly affirmed, "But that's not why I interrupted your date with Ashigasaki. β
Ah Chan didn't speak, she stared at him for a moment, as if observing the credibility of this sentence, and finally, she smiled and said, "No wonder Ash Saki-kun said that you are reluctant." β
Her words were a little clueless, which made Hongcun frown a little puzzled, "Reluctantly? What the? β
"That's when I was dragged away by Ashizaki-kun and didn't participate in the ministry. I told Ashisaki-kun that if you don't go to the ministry, the minister will be angry, and Ashisaki-kun said, you won't be willing to be angry with me. When Ah Chan talked about this, her voice was delicate and soft, and when she said it in such a tone, Hongcun couldn't help laughing.
"That guy...... It is always terrible to see things, but it is always unwilling to use it in the right way. β
"So it's reluctant?" But Ah Chan grasped this question, "Are you reluctant?" β
So it was obviously a very serious and innocent atmosphere at the beginning, but I don't know why, and in the end, I was suddenly pulled into the pink realm.
Hongcun originally wanted to say that he would only stay for a while, and when Ah Chan was no longer so scared, he would leave, but in the end he still didn't make it.
- Maybe it's because Ah Chan is really scared.
She was alone, and her appearance was so eye-catching, and this room was a little empty for those who lived alone.
Girls always feel that there are others hiding and hiding in the house, and the uneasiness caused by such associations is really a kind of torture. Because living alone, there are destined to be many blind spots in the house that cannot be seen at a glance - maybe when they are in the room, someone hides in the kitchen, guest room, bathroom......
Even if I checked around the house and knew that there was nothing, I was still scared.
When sleeping, be sure to lock it. Even at home, I feel very uneasy. It seems that at any time and anywhere, you have to guard against the sudden bad guys breaking into the door.
For a girl in this world, who is almost unaccompanied, such a strong insecure feeling can only make people feel a burst of pity.
Hongcun tried to comfort her, tried to give her a sense of security, tried to make her not lose to this weakness and go astray, but in the end, she was caught tightly.
He, like Ashigasaki, may be the prey she targets when she lacks security, but Hiromura suddenly discovers that it doesn't feel bad to be the prey.
Because, if Ah Chan wants to draw the security she needs from them to calm her panic, then her actions must be very intense. However, she is actually very gentle.
It's not so much that she wants to ask for it, but rather that she just wants someone to be by her side, and she will try to be gentle and comforting.
Ah Chan's long hair was scattered over her smooth shoulders and back, and she leaned over to rub his cheek, kiss his neck, and hug his body as if she were comforting a tired cheetah or stroking a lazy lion.
Her demeanor was also very gentle, so gentle that she could barely see the color of β‘β‘ - she looked happy, like a lonely child who had finally found a playmate.
So Hongcun Shuzo couldn't help but raise his hand, stroke her long hair, and lean up to kiss her cheeks and soft lips.
They are like two lonely animals, soothing each other in bed, but the ** that bred out of it is not scorching - too strong ** for them now, it is really a bit heavy to think about it and tired and resist - but it seems very warm.
They just need company.
The scale between warmth and passion is sometimes difficult to grasp, but fortunately, in the first world, Ah Chan has already practiced very easily on Sasuke.
And Ah Chan thinks that human beings are really a very complex creature.
Sometimes they take it very seriously, and sometimes they seem to think it's not a big deal.
Some people feel as if they have to be very formal to get started, but some people feel that if it feels right, just whatever.
After the qiΔ was over, Ah Chan's mood became much better. She lay beside Hongcun, a slight smile on her face, she stared at his handsome face with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but reach out and gently caress his cheek.
"Minister," she whispered to him, "will you stay here with me tonight?" β
Hongcun opened his eyes and glanced at her.
In fact, it was a bit of a shame to be called "minister" in bed, but he was even more afraid that if Ah Chan changed his name, he would fall deeper.
"Are you still scared?" His voice was still a little hoarse.
And Ah Chan said with a low "um": "However, if the minister doesn't leave, he won't be afraid." β
She said softly, "The minister also looked tired just now...... So I thought, maybe the minister needs someone to accompany and comfort him too......"
Hongcun smiled a little helplessly, he sighed as if he had no choice at all, rubbed her hair, and pressed her into his arms.
"Sleep."
