Interlude: The topic of love
"Please come with me."
In an important pre-exam class, the teenager received a note from the girl.
They don't know each other well, but they have a deep relationship.
Going?
Although the reason was to repay the kindness of the last time, he couldn't remember which time it was.
Could it be a trap?
He couldn't think too much about it, and when the lunch break came and there were only the two of them left in the classroom, everything couldn't stop.
At noon one day when the wind and sun were beautiful, the curtains were specially drawn in the abandoned classroom.
A pair of men and women who are familiar and strange to each other secretly have a tryst at this sensitive time point by hiding their important people.
This is a prelude to something to happen.
"Please take this." The blushing girl handed over her carefully prepared mind and the first time.
"Not so good." The boy looked very hesitant, but after being pulled into this small room, he had no way out.
"There's nothing else to repay."
"Please take it."
He knew that something would definitely happen if he accepted it, but looking at the girl's sincere eyes and the precious sacrifice for the first time, he couldn't say anything about refusing this kind of thing.
"I see." The boy still made up his mind, as long as he didn't let others know, right? Didn't a teacher who is not like a teacher say the same thing?
[As long as it is not discovered, it is not a crime]
"Gollum." Saliva is always more honest than mouth.,Hoshino Mahiro accepted the girl's memorable first time with unease.。
"How does it feel?" Higuchi Rokka is also the first time to make a bento for the opposite sex, so it is a very memorable first.
After taking a bite ......of the hamburger, Mahiro Hoshino thought that there might be something wrong with his tongue.
If you have to describe it, this is hamburger meat that has nothing to do with hamburger meat, and it has no taste at all except for meat.
"Higuchi-san."
"Yes."
"Didn't you put something in the meatloaf when you made it?" He had already said it very tactfully.
"Huh?" Rokka Higuchi picked it up with her chopsticks and tasted it.
“……”×2
Now that the other party has begun to be as silent as himself, Hoshino Mahiro is naturally not embarrassed.
But he still couldn't understand why someone forgot to put seasonings in cooking. It seems that Higuchi Rokkana's female power cultivation will continue for a long time.
In about half a year, the girl will be able to enter the unique bridal power practice of pursuing good looks.
Anyway, it's better than her own sister Rei Hoshino.
Mahiro Hoshino has never forgotten that day's dinner, and she confused salt and sugar with Hoshino's memorable home cooking.
Fortunately, the parents went to the wedding at that time, and it would be nice to let the eldest son who could rely on him come to the suffering.
“……”
"It's just a meal between friends, and it's not a thing." Hoshino Mahiro couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Higuchi Rokuka, who wanted to stop talking.
"Didn't you say that before?"
"Even if the results are not satisfactory, as long as you learn a little bit of experience and a little bit of time, failure will turn into a good fortune."
"Yes." Rokka Higuchi remembered that housekeeping class, and her mood calmed down again.
The two chatted while eating.
Although this time the common meal came a little inexplicably, it was most likely a good thing done by Miss Sayoko, who didn't want to be named.
Hoshino didn't think much of it.
Get used to it.
"Hoshino-san thinks what the so-called love is." Higuchi Liuhua was pounding the tasteless hamburger meat, and came to a sentence in a trance.
Mahiro Hoshino, who was eating a bento, choked and coughed loudly.
"Ahem, ahem."
"Here, Barley Cha." Rokka Higuchi panicked and took the barley tea she had brought with her from the drawer.
Hoshino Mahiro didn't care about anything, so he grabbed it very unceremoniously and finally swallowed it after taking a sip directly.
"This topic is a little ......"
"It's rude." Higuchi Rokka reacted and shyly began to knead the roots of the hair next to her ears with her fingers.
"Just make small talk."
"If you don't mind, we'll have a casual chat like friends." In the end, Higuchi Liuhua's troubles and he also have the cause of cutting and messing.
The intimate mentor is to shine at this time and act as the best tool person.
"I've had a little bit of love trouble lately."
"Hmm." Hoshino nodded, he actually got the most important part into it.
"What does Hoshino-san think love is?"
"Are you in love?"
"Before discussing this issue, we must first define the matter of love." He said.
"Three definitions?" Rokka Higuchi entered a state of honest listening.
"The first aspect is what kind of ideal love is for Higuchi-san."
"Only after knowing the specific situation can we analyze it concretely, and only after clarifying the type of love can the topic continue."
"It seems a little difficult."
"Can it be simply understood as the purpose for which you want to start a relationship, physical attraction or spiritual resonance?"
"I guess it's a mixture of spiritual and physical desires." Rokka Higuchi is a little embarrassed and admits her desires in front of the opposite sex
"It's like a normal high school girl to have physical desires."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." He said.
"Just a little."
"We'll talk about the matter of carnal desires next time we have a chance, and the next definition is what is the purpose of love for Higuchi-san?"
"The purpose of love?"
"It's like spending a lot of time improving your gaming equipment, and a time-consuming and laborious thing like falling in love must have a purpose or something you want to gain before you can continue."
Higuchi Rokka thought for a long time, "Probably looking for a sense of stable satisfaction, both physically and mentally. ”
That's why Izumi Nagi is very entangled in the hot burning Izumi, and at the same time I feel sad about Izumi Nagi's voluntary regression.
Mahiro Hoshino nodded.
He also has a general understanding of this story, which was born because of the satisfaction of stability.
"Last question, how do Higuchi-san feel you can achieve the love you want?"
"Let's get along for a long time and be with each other or something." Remembering everything that happened to Nagi Izumi in his mind, Rokuka Higuchi said the answer in a very tangled way
"Either way, it's a good thing to have your own answer." He looked at the girl's expression very calmly.
"What's next?"
Hoshino Mahiro shook his head and said in a very gentle tone: "There is no next step, aren't all the things you are doubting and pursuing already come out." ”
"Between this question and answer, you should already have a picture in your mind."
Higuchi Rokka was silent.
"Seeking both physical and mental stability and satisfaction with long-term companionship and companionship is Higuchi-san's love."
"In the end, love is an extremely empty and personal thing, what is love, there are many definitions from the physical point of view, and there are also many ways to say it from the spiritual point of view, men, women, transsexuals, young people, old people, there are countless definitions of love."
"If you're obsessed with defining love thoroughly, even the real gods won't be able to solve your confusion."
"What you feel is love." He said.
"It's so embarrassing."
"Doesn't Higuchi-san already have some understanding?"
"Who knows, it's really troublesome to fall in love." Rokka Higuchi sighed.
"The distress of love is also a part of youth that has to be savored." Hoshino laughed. "Fujiwara-sensei told me this sentence."
"It's a lot like Fujiwara-sensei's style of speaking." The girl agreed.
……
"Thanks for the hospitality."
"I'm sorry for your trouble."
After a pleasant lunchtime, the two enjoyed the pleasure of the afternoon,
Hoshino Mahiro cleaned up the dishes and looked at Higuchi Rokka with his spare eyes.
The girl got rid of the gloom since the aquarium, and even brought her relationship with him one step closer.
That's true.
[The best means to get closer to the two are nothing more than eating a bowl of rice and ......]
Good things, all good things.
Rokka Higuchi has officially changed from a temporary trick that is both familiar and unfamiliar to a genuine supporting role with a head and a face.
"Hoshino-san?" The girl's sudden voice disrupted his train of thought.
"There's something I'd like to ask Hoshino-san, is it convenient?"
It seemed that this was an inconvenient question for her to ask, but in retrospect, she probably had it in mind.
"Sayoko's thing?"
"You're really ......" Higuchi Rokuka's eyes sparkled, and Hoshino knew that kind of look very well.
A completely undisguised gossip look.
"I think Higuchi-san may have misunderstood something."
"Then I'm going to trouble Hoshino-san."
“……”
Izumi Nagi and Higuchi Rokka are really very similar in this kind of gossip, and even the lines are almost the same.
Gotta think of a suitable excuse to fool her.
"Actually, that shopping was just a coincidence." Hoshino used a very lame reason.
"When did the coincidence start?"
"It's probably Sunday morning, and Sayoko comes to my house to play? Then we went out to buy things together. ”
The middle nap section can't be said anyway, it depends on whether Higuchi Liuhua gives this face.
"Sayoko?" Rokka Higuchi noticed the details that were really worth noting.
It's not something anyone can do by name.
Is it too late to take back your words now? The more Hoshino explained, the more unclear it became.
"All in all, we didn't have the kind of relationship Higuchi thought we were."
Higuchi Rokka nodded thoughtfully, as if she was gradually understanding all this.
Even if this matter is over like this, anyway, there are so many answers he can give to the outside world before he officially confirms his relationship with Sayoko.,
Sayoko's side shouldn't talk nonsense, so let's leave a little room for ambiguity between the two.
……
After a little gossip, the two walked back to the classroom one after the other.
Although they have become friends behind the scenes, in front of the stage of Shengyang, a super-large youth stage play, the two are still in a relationship that is both familiar and strange for the time being.
"That." Hoshino Mahiro stopped as he stepped into the classroom.
"What's wrong?"
"If you have the chance, will Hoshino-san take the initiative?" Rokka Higuchi could only see his back.
The expression is impossible to observe.
"I don't know."
"Falling in love seems to be a little too far away for me."
"Still."
"When the time comes, everything will be there," he said.
