Rita hasn't given up on her purpose for coming here in the first place, and she still thinks that Mashiro is more suitable for the world of painting.

However, she is willing to try to believe in the confident teenager once, and she is also willing to believe in the "Tu Su" who has been working with her for many months.

Although the other party didn't know that she was "Igarashi" at this moment.

Rather, in this case, things are even more interesting.

The corners of Rita's mouth rose slightly, and she looked completely devoid of her previous gloomy and hysterical appearance. At this moment, she was suddenly looking forward to what kind of expression Jiang Yu would show when she found out that she was "Igarashi".

After Jiang Yu quietly observed the appearance of the blonde girl opposite, he temporarily relieved his heart, gestured to Zhenbai with his eyes, and then walked out silently.

The rest of the time is up to the two friends who have relied on each other for ten years.

…… He was tempted to say that.

However, just as Jiang Yu was about to close the door, a white and delicate hand stopped his movements from the inside. Then the door was pushed open again, and the face of the girl he had just met was in front of him.

"I don't have much confidence right now to be alone with Mashiro."

Rita declared.

Jiang Yu frowned, and just wanted to explain the pros and cons to the other party, but immediately thought of a very important matter. The next moment, his gaze crossed Rita's shoulder, and he immediately saw Zhenbai standing further inside, with a blank face.

His heart trembled, he lowered his head, and whispered to Rita, "I understand, then you should calm each other down first." Ah, and besides, what I said before still counts, Rita, you can stay tonight, after all, it's a hassle to go out and find a hotel now. ”

When he said "Clarity", he meant that he understood that "Mashiro didn't understand what Rita said just now."

Even if Rita was so hysterical just now that she cried out the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time; Even if the person who made that act was an existence that he learned to paint in the same studio as Mashiro since he was a child......

But there is no way to make him understand, the kind of pain, hatred, and unwillingness that is chasing someone's back, but finding that it is more and more unattainable, and some joy, hope, and yearning in the depths of his heart.

Jiang Yu's heart, for a moment, recalled the feeling he had when he saw Zhenbai for the first time at the airport - nothing, ethereal, and unreachable.

Now it seems that even if Mahaku has lived in this house for almost half a year, he has become the "owner" of unknown meaning in the other party's mouth, but the actual relationship between the two parties has not changed much.

As a genius, Zhenbai, who stands in the distance as a matter of course, has no way to understand the thoughts of ordinary people like Rita and Jiang Yu.

The trouble Jiang Yu pointed out before is mainly that Rita is an underage girl, but at the same time she is a foreign visitor. Jiang Yu didn't understand the specific policies of the Japanese hotel in this regard. However, due to the habit of thinking, he can't rest assured that a girl will wander alone on the streets of Tokyo at night.

Rita covered her mouth and smiled, just about to say that she had already booked the hotel before, but the ghost made a mistake, she nodded, and said in a cheerful tone: "So, please leave it to you?" ”

……

For dinner, we had assorted hot pot, which is the Japanese way of making hot pot.

The way the four of them sat at the dining table was also a bit interesting - Zhenbai and Rita, who should have been the closest to each other, did not sit together, but Xiao Bury and Zhenbai sat on one side, and Jiang Yu and Rita sat on the other side.

Needless to say, the two girls who had been eating Jiang Yu's cooking for almost half a year naturally didn't put forward any suggestions or opinions, but just ate them beautifully.

And Rita, who tasted Jiang Yu's craftsmanship for the first time, was quite surprised. In fact, she herself has pretty good cooking skills, but looking at Jiang Yu's skillful skills when she handled the ingredients before, she couldn't confidently step forward to help.

Even so, when eating hot pot, this blonde girl who came from afar kept smiling on her face and looked very happy.

It's like the person who cried in the real white room before, not her.

This made Jiang Yu a little embarrassed to point out that hot pot is actually mainly the soup base - and that kind of thing, of course, he chose to buy it in the supermarket.

The dinner process was quite uneventful, because of the vaguely awkward atmosphere between Mashiro and Rita, even if Xiao Bury kept trying to stir up the topic, he couldn't get an effective response at all. And Jiang Yu is a person who doesn't like to talk when eating, so he is completely indifferent to his sister's eyes in the open and in the dark.

The only thing worth mentioning is probably that when Jiang Yu's face couldn't help but be stained with oil, Rita's eyes rolled, and she didn't know what to think, so she naturally took out a tissue and wiped it clean.

This move caused the other three people present to be directly stunned, and Jiang Yu also blinked several times, and after confirming that this was not his hallucination, he thanked him with some hindsight.

Although he said, his tone seemed a little dry, and his eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't dare to look at the other party's face.

Such an unexpected expression of innocence certainly made Rita laugh again.

Speaking of which, she really loves to laugh?

Jiang Yu had such an exclamation in his heart.

However, that smile is nothing more than ...... Prevent yourself from completely collapsing, right?

……

At one o'clock in the morning that night, the moonlight entered the house, which made people sleepy.

Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes, straightened his arm, and yawned heavily.

There's a dinner party on Muse's side tomorrow, but it doesn't require him to come early in the morning, so it doesn't matter if he stays up a little late tonight.

But even so, at this point in time, he was going to go to sleep.

Who made so much of the heart and soul so much so gaunting happening today? Not to mention that Jiang Yu also played a small role during the period, over-operating his brain circuits.

So, when he finished his personal hygiene and washed before bed, and was about to go back to his room to sleep, an unexpected figure appeared in front of his door.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yu still asked, "Who is it?" ”

Hearing that the voice was coming from behind, the figure seemed to tremble, but soon, she turned around abruptly-the hem of the pajamas on her body also drew a graceful arc - looked at Jiang Yu with a smile, and her cherry lips opened lightly: "Can you disturb me a little?" Yujun. ”

In this family, Jiang Yu will be called like this, at present, there is only one person. However, even if this is not the case, through the light coming through the living room, Jiang Yu can easily tell who this person is.

There's no way, whoever makes this family blonde, and at the same time has the body to wear an ordinary pajamas out of that kind of seductive posture, is only the girl who just arrived today.

Speaking very responsibly, in an instant, a lot of ** plots flashed in Jiang Yu's mind. But he immediately put those strange thoughts behind him—he knew that, for whatever reason, people who visited late at night must have their own agendas.

In other words, there is something that is longing to be told, to be heard.

Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and laughed softly: "Rita, you have come to me at this point in time, how can you refuse me?" Let's just talk in the living room, right? ”

He pointed to the room behind him, which was the space that filled the house with the most breath of life.

Naturally, Jiang Yu would not be so eyeless and invite the girl into his room late at night.

In the dark, although he couldn't see the specific expression of the girl opposite, he could still feel that the other party seemed to smile, and then said meaningfully: "That Yujun may have missed an opportunity to push down after comforting the frustrated girl?" ”

"I won't do that......"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips with a rather speechless expression.

"Huh? Am I that unattractive? ”

Rita frowned slightly, and her tone seemed to be angry, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

Jiang Yu scratched the hair on the back of his head with a little headache - this kind of role, it's enough to have Senior Sister Xia Zhiqiu, right? ——Such a thought flashed in his heart, but on his face, his expression was still so helpless, and then, he also took the opportunity to say his true words: "If Miss Rita is really the person I like, maybe I will do that?" ”

"Huh? Is this true? ”

"Of course not, teasing you."

"Eh~~ I thought this meant that if it was true white, Yujun, you would take advantage of the situation?"

"It's better for a girl to say the word 'start' casually, right? Also, why is it really white? ”

As if nothing happened, the topic of both sides began to involve the absolute protagonist tonight that both of them knew.

"Isn't Yujun going to exercise some of the rights that belong to the owner? You must have helped Mahaku clean up the underwear scattered everywhere before, right? ”

"I'm not the kind of guy who will have sex (inserted) with a girl's plain underwear.,The current male high school student with a bad mind full of bad thoughts......"

"What are you...... I complained about my peers as if no one was around, and then I picked myself out as if nothing happened, right? I always feel that I can understand what kind of person you are~"

Rita's tone was quite relaxed, even when it came to this kind of Jiang Yu's last world, he would definitely not discuss with girls of the same age when he was a high school student, and there was no discomfort.

No, even now, I would never discuss this kind of puberty with girls my age, right?

Jiang Yu's conversation with Rita was inexplicably relaxed, and he always had the illusion that he had known each other for a long time, so at this moment, he could talk so freely without scruples.

Although in his memory, it is true that he has never seen the girl in front of him even once.

"So, Rita, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, leaned against the sliding door of the living room, and asked in a lazy tone.

"It's a ......" Rita pressed her index finger against her chin, revealing an expression that often appears in TV anime, a cute female character thinking, but the next moment, her tone became inconsistent with her expression, and she became a little cold, "Smart man." ”

"So, I have a question for smart people." The smile that Rita had been wearing since just now disappeared from her face, "Since it's not interesting to Mashiro, then why do you choose to stay by her side, even at the expense of saying things like 'I want to leave a name for Mashiro'?" ”

"I haven't said anything like that......" Jiang Yu wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and deliberately said with some exaggeration.

However, looking at the blonde girl opposite who was unmoved, Jiang Yu also understood such a question, and it was impossible to fool around at will. So after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke, "Rita is really powerful. ”

Hearing this, Rita frowned, puzzled: "Please answer my question, besides, even if you praise me now, I won't be happy." ”

Jiang Yu smiled, regardless of whether the other party could see his expression clearly in the dark, and said to himself: "Just being with that Shiina Mashiro for ten years is commendable." For ordinary people, they will run away halfway, right? ”

“……”

"You want to keep your eyes peeled and don't look at things you don't want to see...... Even though I know I have to face it, I still want to protect myself because I don't want to be traumatized. This is the first thing ordinary people will do when faced with a difficult situation, or a goal that is out of reach. ”

"Although they know deep down that there are some things that they have to face to hate, they can't do it that easily."

“…… Perhaps. ”

In the darkness, Rita nodded slightly, but her tone of voice was noncommittal.

"In the past six months, the true whiteness in my eyes has decided everything by myself, completely ignoring the eyes, voices, and opinions around me, and walking towards the road with no road ahead by myself. I've been to her class a few times before, and in the classroom after school, she was the only one who was silently drawing, looking lonely, but very pure. ”

"It's like saying - I don't need anyone else, so no one wants to come into my world. I think she must be like that when she is in class, right? That's why I can't make friends at all. Even if someone in the class cared about Mahaku, they all understood the atmosphere and chose to keep their distance. ”

"But, Rita is different."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu changed his previous declarative tone and became sonorous and determined.

"That's nothing, I'm also one of the people in the background behind Mashiro."

Rita shook her head, a smile on her face that was so beautiful that it questioned its authenticity.

In this regard, Jiang Yu said in an unquestionable tone: "Only Rita you will make Zhenbai reveal obvious emotional changes." It must be the deep friendship you have cultivated over the past ten years, and it is evidence that the two of you are completely different from the rest. ”

"By the way, please put away that smirk, Rita. I've almost gotten tired of seeing it since I understood the essence of it. "I want to talk about "Programmer in the Second Yuan" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
