On the way back, I kept wondering if there really would be no problem with this, but Sakurabai should take care of it. When I opened the door, I didn't see Yingluo.

"Where's Yingluo?"

"Gone."

"Huh? Well, you've all talked about something. ”

"A girl's secret."

"Well, that's right."

Today has passed quickly, and before I know it, it is already night.

"Are you tired today?"

"Not tired."

"That's ......"

Unconsciously, there was no topic to talk about, and the two of them sat on either side of the bed, silently, and no one spoke.

"May I ask you a question?"

"Huh? What's the problem? "Sakurabai would take the initiative to ask me questions, which is really rare.

"Do you like me?"

Silence returned to the room, and that was a difficult question to answer.

"I don't like it." I smiled faintly.

"Am I wrong?"

"Of course not."

Sakura Bai tilted her head and looked at me suspiciously.

"Because I can't like you."

"Why?"

"Because our gap is too big, I don't have the confidence to say that I like you now, after all, I like you but I am responsible for you."

"If you like it, you'll be together, isn't it?"

"After being together, what can you do, do you have a sense of possession for a short time, or do you want to separate if you don't like it? Like you're not such a cheap thing. ”

"No faith."

"After all, you're by my side, but you're so good."

"Me, yes."

"We are never in the same world, maybe one day, I can stand in the same position as you, or I can appear on the same occasion, maybe at that time, I can say that I like you openly."

"Incomprehensible." Sakura Shiro looked back, not knowing what she was thinking.

I didn't know how to respond, so I just smiled softly.

"Now, Lijiu, what does it feel like to look up at the starry sky in the ruins."

"I always feel like you know me very well." Looking at the starry sky outside the window, I can only smile bitterly.

"Sakuraba, why do you understand me so well?"

"Because I'm your illustrator."

Sakura Bai looked at me, her eyes were a little brighter, and she always felt a little different from before.

"Huh?"

"Your story is beautiful, but there is always some darkness and loneliness hidden, so I know it well."

People who can say such things without mood swings, there won't be a second person besides Sakurabai. Listening to Sakurahaku's words, I was silent again.

"I'll never be able to win you."

"You haven't told me what it's like to look at the stars in the ruins."

"It's a very distant feeling, beautiful but very distant."

Maybe it's because I'm used to it, so I can be plain when I say these words. If I could, I'd rather be in the stars......

"That's why I feel something I can't experience."

"I don't want you to experience it, and maybe you won't have a chance to do it."

"It's you by your side, and I'm very happy."

"Then wait until I can say openly that I like you, and then you decide whether you want to be with me or not."

"Don't break your word." Sakura Shiro held out the little thumb of her left hand and looked at me.

"Okay, I won't break my promise." Sakura Bai is really a child, and this kind of thing is not a child's doing.

Promises are such things that only children and liars can say.
