Normally, no one would answer so honestly————— although instinctively wanted to let out such a roar, but the panic that was shy enough to melt his face made Tachibana Yukino swallow the sentence silently.

On the other hand, Ji Yuehua was instinctively stunned for a moment after blurting out, and after that, she suddenly realized what she had just said.

Such a straightforward reply is equivalent to admitting that in his eyes, the other party is a beauty of the same level as Yakumo Zi, Ruoxi Wan and others.

Of course, that's not a problem if that's all there is to it. The problem was that it was only a few minutes before that he confessed to his face that he liked his sisters and Bayi Yonglin.

Other words.

—————You're just as beautiful as the person I like.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with the sentence he just said, even if it is interpreted in the direction of infinitely close to provocation. And it's not a flirtatious flirtatious call from a playboy, but a heartfelt compliment from someone who has always had a good reputation.

In this part, it is reflected how different people with different personalities are in terms of "influencing others".

No matter what a frivolous person says, no one will believe it, because the moment he hears it, he can realize that it is insincere speech, and no matter how gorgeous the words are, they will only make people disgusted.

On the other hand, people who rarely lie, even if they occasionally reveal a clumsy remark, as long as it is a compliment from the heart, generally few people really feel annoyed.

An unconscious statement, showing what the person himself is not usually aware of, that strong favor and extremely high evaluation———— which happens to be the most deadly.

Although Tachibana Yukino has a gentle personality, she is not stupid. In the matter of knowing people, her vision is extremely vicious, in addition to being able to roughly judge the character of others at the moment of looking at the face, so as to adjust the evaluation of the other party in her heart, as long as there is enough time, even the essence of others can be seen through, so as to know a little bit about that person's future development.

Compared with the super genius Bayi Yonglin, this is smart in another sense. It is both the gift of talent and the inevitable result of experience.

Hypocritical speech is of no avail to her. Of course, the accosting with ulterior motives will be rejected by her thousands of miles away.

Only...... There is only sincere praise, and Tachibana Yukino has no resistance from beginning to end. This is also due to the fact that she had grown up in some way of being isolated from the world since a long time ago, and it was only years ago that she moved back into human society.

When she was a little girl, on the one hand, because the people around her were elders who were at least twenty years older than her, and on the other hand, because of Kong Ciren's overprotection, she had never been in contact with the opposite sex of similar age, and the elders' praise for her was only equivalent to saying "cute" to granddaughters, daughters and other existences.

After Kong Ciren retired, and she also became one of the commanders of the 13th Division of the Military Department. Although the opposite sex of similar age is no longer limited to Ji Yuehua alone, due to the problem of identity, no one has ever dared to say even half a serious sentence in front of her, such as about her appearance.

Twenty-six of her thirty-year career has been spent in such an environment where "praise" has no chance to be attached.

As a result, although Tachibana Yukino always had a very objective and thorough understanding of the development and context of events as a "bystander", she herself had no experience in this area.

Furthermore.

After her feet lost the ability to walk, there was always a trace of regret in the eyes of others. Even though there are occasional people who don't have long eyes who approach her with a "playful" mentality, and deliberately avoid talking about her legs when talking to her, even those people are treating her as a disabled person———— which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, this is actually the case. She can no longer stand up and walk, and it is normal for her to be considered disabled.

Maybe she didn't blame Ji Yuehua for the disaster on herself, and she didn't even have a second of the thought of blaming him. However————— this does not mean that she can really face this fact calmly.

This comes from the fact that she has a certain degree of affection, and her friends, who are impeccable in character and appearance, do not care about her feet, but sincerely praise her personally.

Regardless of whether the person concerned noticed it when he spoke, there was indeed an ambiguity that could easily be misunderstood...... Rather, if it was the truth that was unintentionally spoken, it would be even more foul.

An awkward silence spread between the two.

A second passed.

———— their gazes intertwined in mid-air, each in a state of sluggishness.

Three seconds passed.

———— Ji Yuehua's brain officially began to restart, and a hint of crimson gradually appeared on Tachibana Yukino's face.

Ten seconds passed.

———— Tachibana Yukino was already red to the root of her ears, while Ji Yuehua followed in the footsteps of Tachibana Yukino, and her face became red.

Half a minute has passed.

———— both of them had faces as red as persimmons. Tachibana Yukino lowered her gaze and moved her gaze to the table, not daring to look at Ji Yuehua's front, while Ji Yuehua had a trace of obvious panic in her eyes.

The two were in a daze for nearly one hundred and eighty seconds. Finally, Yukino Tachibana was the first to break the silence.

"That...... Let's get back to business. Yuehuajun, what are you looking for me? Okay, I don't accept an apology now, right?"

"No, it's not like that, not entirely. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to ask other people how you're doing———— such as where you live, if you have any new preferences, what you are used to doing and what you like to eat, etc. ”

"What are you going to do when you know about this?"

"Prepare the relevant topics and visit to see if there is a way to mend our relationship, and by the way, I will say "I'm sorry" to you for the things that have been hiding from you for the past few years...... That's about it. ”

Unexpected statements led to unexpected developments.

With each other's eyes consciously moving to the side, the topic that should have been slowly unfolding proceeded at the speed of light. Before they knew it, they had finished saying everything they wanted to say, and the two of them immediately returned to a state of speechlessness.

In the end, the person who summoned the courage to give this strange atmosphere of silence to end the blow was Yukino Tachibana.

She repeatedly stressed to herself that "she is an old man and should stay calm", and at the same time forced herself to think on the side of "no ambiguity", ———— it took almost two minutes to barely calm down. Then, he closed his eyes calmly and said in an indifferent tone.

"Forget the address. Now that I live with my sister and friends, it is a bit inconvenient in every sense to let someone of the opposite sex of similar age walk in...... Let me tell Yuehuajun your contact information. Next time, when we meet in a more serious way, let's talk about the topic you just raised. ”
