After my brother left, we walked down the ramp together, and because we all had different ways home, we said goodbye at the intersection.

"Then, Quanjun and Xiaoxing will see you at school tomorrow."

Furukawa nodded politely to us.

"We're going this way," Okazaki said, waving his hand, and then mysteriously walked up to me as if he had thought of something, and whispered, "I'll pray that you won't be beaten by Apricot." ”

"You're sure I'm going to be beaten before it happens?"

"Hahaha," patted me on the shoulder, and Okazaki pulled Furukawa and Kazeko towards another road at the intersection, "Take care~"

Okazaki, this kid, has been saying some inexplicable things lately, is it because the drama department and Fengzi's affairs have caused him too much pressure that he has become so stupid and stupid?

Looking at his back as he walked away, I thought badly.

"It's terrible! was touched by the "big weirdo", and Fengzi went back to take a good bath. ”

"Where did you think I got germs?!"

"The weirdos are worse than germs! No, it should be said that bacteria are not as bad as "big weirdos"! ”

"You guy!"

There was also a pleasant sound in the distance, which made people feel better.

Fengzi, although you kid often say something ignorant to me, you still have a very good side, well, come on~ girl!

"Then I'll go this way," Xing waved at me and walked in the other direction of the intersection, "after all, I still have to catch the car home." ”

"Oh, goodbye... Wait, wait a minute, apricot! ”

Although I was stunned to say goodbye to Xing at first, I reacted immediately and hurriedly stopped her.

"What, is there anything else you can do?" Xing curiously turned her head to look at me and asked.

"No, it's not a problem."

"What are you doing..."Suddenly, Xing seemed to have figured out something, her originally confused expression suddenly became happy, and she covered her mouth and stared at me with a meaning on her face, "Did you forget the way home?" ”

"How is that possible!"

Please, even I've been there so many times, even if I want to, I can't forget it.

"Really? What's the matter. ”

Hey, what's going on with this face with a disappointed expression, is it necessary for you to be so disappointed when you hear that I'm not lost?

"Now that it's getting dark, I'll take you to the station." Pointing to the yellowing sky, I explained to Apricot.

“…”

I thought that after I said this, Apricot would agree to my proposal and happily say "OK", but to her surprise, Apricot looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to be such a gentleman."

"You're rude, I've always been polite."

"Hahaha~ I'm sorry, I didn't see it."

"How dare you say that?"

Although having said that, the reason why I have this idea of sending Apricot Road Station is mainly because of me, although she is indeed much better than me in some aspects, ah, just violence, but after all, I am also a boy, which I can still do...

"Painful !!"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I feel very uncomfortable."

"Why are you pinching me if you're not happy!"

"Because the source of unhappiness comes from you."

"Huh?"

"Don't tell me Izumi, what rude are you thinking about again, are you?"

“… How can it be pulled~"

"Turn your head around."

"Hahaha~ The sunset is so beautiful!"

“… Alas~ It's a stupid person. ”

It's really rude, even if you want to say that I don't have the ability to change the subject, but you can't just look at me with this sympathetic eye! It hurts!

“… Naw. ”

I don't know why Xing suddenly fell silent for a while, and stopped me softly.

"What?" I rubbed my aching cheeks and looked at Apricot in confusion.

“…”

"Uncomfortable?"

"Izumi, I ask you!" As if she had made up her mind, Xing raised her head and stared at me and asked, "You said that Peng is also making friends with Xiao Nagisa, making friends, making friends..."

"Well, what are you talking about?"

Looking at Xing's already red cheeks, and listening to her stammering question, I must have a few big question marks in my head right now.

"I—I just say! The two of them are now intersecting, intersecting... Delivery, delivery! ”

“wang？ … Yes! Is it a relationship? ”

"Stupid, stupid! Don't just say it! ”

"That's not what it means?"

"Ugh! That's, almost..."

"Oh." Scratching my head, I asked, puzzled, "But why are you asking this?" ”

"Because it's very in... In a word! Xing was stunned by my question at first, but she immediately recovered, stared at me forcefully and said, "You just have to answer my question!" ”

"Ahh Forget it, for my own safety, I still answered seriously, "Okazaki and Furukawa?" I don't think they're dating. ”

"Hmm~ Really?! … Ah, ahem. Hearing my answer, Xing clapped her hands happily, but immediately discovered her gaffe, and hurriedly covered her mouth and coughed a few times, "Well, that's it." ”

"Do you care?"

"Ahh With a cute exclamation, Xing's body shook in shock, and she laughed dryly, "How, how could it be?" ”

It's really important to see Apricot like this, but how to say it, but with Okazaki and they are so close now, if I hadn't been watching from the sidelines, I think I'd have doubts like Apricot did, right? Hawkers~ It's common for girls to be curious about these questions, so it's strange not to be curious, right?

"Oh~ That's it."

"What are you doing, what are you doing! Such a smirk. ”

"It's rude, I just think that you are really still a girl, and it hurts !!"

"You're the one who made the faux pas!" Xing reached out and pinched my face, frowning and smiling at me, "What do you mean by 'sure enough' is still a girl?" ”

"Ugh! That's a slip of the tongue! ”

"Haha~"

"Because I didn't expect you to care so much about this!"

“…”

Xing was stunned, then took back the hand that was pinching her cheek without saying anything, and walked quietly in the direction of the station.

"What's wrong?"

I'd love to shout "Lucky" for Apricot to take her hand back so quickly, but it doesn't seem like the right time to look like this, right?

"No, nothing."

"Oh."

“…”

“…”

It's really silent.,I didn't say a word from just now.,It's a super uncomfortable atmosphere.。

Even though we arrived at the station, even though we were already sitting on the stools in the station, why was the atmosphere so heavy? Please, Miss, why did you suddenly become so quiet? You're an apricot, not a starling!

"Ahh Here comes the car. ”

Luckily, just when I couldn't hold it anymore, the bus slowly drove towards here from a short distance.

"Yes, really." Xing got up from the stool, lifted the bag on the stool, patted me on the shoulder and walked to the side of the road, "Then I'll go." ”

"Yes!" Reflexively, I suddenly stood up from the stool and shouted to Xing like a military stance, "You go slowly!" ”

“…”

“…”

Oh no, I was accidentally brought in by the atmosphere just now. Apricot was so surprised by my move that she looked at me with wide eyes and surprise.

“… It's better to laugh when you want to laugh. ”

Forget it, I also admitted it when I was ridiculed by apricots this time.

"Hey, hey~ Are you a fool?"

Sure enough...

"But I'm in a much better mood, thanks to a dumb guy standing next to me."

"It's rude, even I would get hurt... I know I'm a bit of an idiot just now, but I should have put it mildly..."

"The car is coming, then I'm leaving." Just as I was thinking about it, Xing turned to me with a smile and nodded, and boarded the bus that just stopped, "Izumi, thank you." ”

I looked at the bus in a daze, and I didn't come back to my senses with my jaw open.

What's going on when Apricot says "thank you" to me?
