Chapter XXXIV
As if a gust of wind blows, the silver-haired and weak girl who will fall down with the wind, under the reflection of the dim moonlight behind her, the figure is bright and trance-like, as if she is not in the same world as Aoki Division. The white dress and white skin of the dome look like a snowman delicately carved by snow. Her outstretched white little hand trembled slightly, and when she lowered her head, it seemed that even her eyes were slightly closed.
Aoki Tsukasa watched quietly, and the little white hand on his side was nervously clenched into a fist, as if he was nervous, but more like he was afraid.
For some reason, Tsukasa Aoki suddenly felt very distressed.
In the past, it was often his younger brother's shadow that replaced the impression of the dome in his mind, whether it was his care or patience, it was more like a continuation of his past life and this life, rather than a sincere love for the poor girl in front of him.
But this time, when Aoki opened the door timidly and with all his might, and stretched out his hand to Aoki Tsukasa, there was no one else in Aokiji's eyes except for Qiong.
Almost instinctively, Aoki Tsukasa stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the firmament's head, even he didn't know why he suddenly made such a bold move----- his mind was still full of caution before opening the door.
The small head exuded a slight warmth under Aoki Tsukasa's palm, and the stiffness and trembling he felt at that moment made him unable to suppress it, revealing a distressed face, and a gentle smile from the heart appeared on his face, and he called softly: "Dome." ”
Qiong only felt that the warm hand on her head was completely different from the feeling that her father and mother had brought her, and in a fit of nervousness, she raised her head slightly when she heard Aoki Tsukasa call her name.
What appeared in front of the dome was the bright smile of Tsukasa Aoki.
The face, which still had a little scar that had not yet faded away, showed a smile that made Qiongqiong's heart suddenly burst into a sour smile for some reason.
Good...... Glaring....
Dome subconsciously deviated from his gaze again.
"Don't be afraid." Aoki Tsukasa stared at the pure eyes that were a little frightened, a little nervous and shy, and only felt as dazzling as if he had seen the starry sky on a summer night, and while gently touching the top of the dome with his hand, his voice was calm and warm: "I will protect you, in the future, all." So..."
"Qiong, can you not treat me as a nuisance?" Aoki's eyes were incomparably sincere, just quietly staring at the firmament's restless pupils.
In the past, when she was a little closer to others, she would feel extremely uneasy in her heart, but unexpectedly, she felt a sense of peace of mind in her heart, her thin lips opened slightly, and she said a response that she had not expected: "Well....."
After these words, the two of them fell silent at the same time.
Dome seemed to turn his head away with some embarrassment, and the double ponytails that he had just made up in a hurry swayed slightly, like the ears of a rabbit shaking restlessly, but he did not have any resistance to Aoki Tsukasa putting his hand on her head.
What I felt in the palm of my hand was a small shell that gradually stabilized and no longer trembled, and Aoki suddenly felt that under the palm of his hand was not only a poor little girl, but also a fragile soul covered with scars and shattered at the touch of a button.
"Then, we agreed that we will not deliberately close the door to avoid me in the future." Aoki's smile was gentler and more careful, and he slowly withdrew his palm from the dome, and in front of her, stretched out his little thumb: "Pull the hook." ”
Dome lowered his head again, his hands stirring restlessly at the skirt of his side, not knowing what to do for a moment.
But Tsukasa Aoki just crouched down, stretched out his hands, and looked at her with a smile.
After a long time, Dome slowly stretched out his hand, and the cold little thumb lightly rested on Aoki Division's fingers, and in his closed mouth, he let out a low voice: "Hmm...."
The shadows of the two people, under the illumination of the moonlight, are connected by two tiny fingers.
----------------
"Jingle bell!"
The harsh alarm in his ears made Aoki Tsukasa open his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eyes was the already somewhat familiar ceiling, and his tired body was still faintly sore, Aoki Tsukasa was almost struggling, before he reached out and found his mobile phone and turned off the alarm.
Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling for a long time, Aoki sat up straight and stretched, but he gasped again from the soreness of his muscles.
"It's 6:50..." Aoki Tsukasa opened the curtains, it was almost winter season, the sky was still not fully lit up at this time, and the scene on the street was half-light and half-dark, and there was a misty and decadent beauty.
"Ah, I'm going to make breakfast." Sighing, Aoki put on his shirt, touched his bald head in the mirror in the room, looked at his listless appearance, and patted his face gently: "I have to work hard today!" ”
Suddenly thinking of the great progress in the relationship with the dome last night, which can be called a leap and bound, Aoki Tsukasa couldn't help but laugh inexplicably. originally thought that there was such an embarrassing thing when I went home, and the relationship was much more estranged, but I didn't expect that I would be a blessing in disguise.....
Although I don't know why the Dome suddenly released a good impression of himself and opened his heart a little, it was enough for this matter to develop for the good.
Humming a little song downstairs, after a brief wash, Tsukasa Aoki, who came to the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, took out the noodles and other accessories, and skillfully began to make breakfast.
Although he didn't learn the skill of cooking, Aoki Tsukasa conservatively estimated that he had to have a level of three or four.
At least when the noodles are cooked, the smell of the fragrant egg noodles alone makes Aoki Tsukasa feel appetizing.
Hanging up his apron and putting away the utensils, Tsukasa Aoki walked upstairs and knocked on the door of the dome: "Dome... Arched. ”
After calling several times in a row, there was a sound of humming and chirping from inside, and Aoki Tsukasa raised his eyebrows and listened carefully for a long time, but he could only hear a vague response like a dream.
"The dome... I made noodles today, and if I don't eat them now, it won't taste good for a while. ”
Tsukasa Aoki knocked on the door again.
The sound of stepping barefoot on the wooden floor came from inside the door, and the door was snapped open, and the dome stood in front of the door in a daze, his expression still a little dazed.
Her long silver hair was a little messy and scattered over her shoulders, under the loose dress-like pajamas, the delicate collarbone was faintly visible, only under the cuffs of the elbows, the white and tender forearms were slightly raised, the little hands rubbed their eyes weakly, and looked at Aoki Tsukasa with a dream-like expression, and said softly in a slightly tired tone: "Hmm." ”
It looks like he's more tired than me.
Aoki Si smiled bitterly and looked at her as if she would fall asleep at any time, and said softly, "Good, go wash your face and brush your teeth first, and eat." I'll go to school in a while, and you can go back to sleep. ”
"Hmm..."The dome seemed to sober up a bit, and put down the hand that was rubbing his eyes, and his eyes that were not fully open squinted slightly at Tsukasa Aoki.
After staring at Aoki Tsukasa for a long time, it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and his originally squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he took two steps back in a panic, but he almost tripped and fell on the clothes he was throwing under his feet. After keeping a fairly safe distance, she lowered her head again without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I'll wait for you downstairs, and when I'm ready, I'll wash my face and get ready to eat." Aoki Tsukasa smiled slightly at her somewhat funny cuteness, and made a gesture of flicking his head at her, jokingly, "If I fall asleep again, I will play your head." ”
"Hmm...."Dome lowered his head and replied in a low voice, and heard the sound of Tsukasa Aoki coming downstairs.
It wasn't until Aoki Tsukasa walked away that she raised her head, covered her face with her hands, and jumped on the bed again, kicking the quilt hard, and letting out an inaudible whimper in her mouth: "I.... Stupid ....."
