Ye Sheng sat in the room with a stiff face.

On the other side, Jiu De Aki sat on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, and his dark pupils looked at Ye Sheng blankly: "Who are you?" ”

That black color was like a sharp arrow through Ye Sheng's chest, he pursed his lips, and forced a smile on his face: "My name is Ye Sheng, it's Aki you...... Schoolmate. ”

What he wants to say is not actually a classmate, and certainly not a partner, but another word, which can better reflect the relationship between the two.

But when those two words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back again.

Now is not the time.

"Classmates?" Jiu De Aki tilted his head, "I'm sorry, the doctor said I had amnesia, are you at the same level as me?" ”

"No, I'm one level older than you," Ye Sheng shrugged, "but your grades are very good, and you've only been in the third year since you started participating in the tasks of the Executive Department." ”

Ye Sheng saw that Jiu De Aki's eyes were still confused, and he organized his language: "Hmm...... I mean, we're partners, you know, at least two people in the executive department. ”

"No, senior, I don't know, I have amnesia."

Ye Sheng looked embarrassed: "Uh...... Well, now you know. ”

Where Ye Sheng couldn't see it, the corners of Jiu De Aki's mouth lifted a little devil's smile.

"That, Senior Ye Sheng."

Ye Sheng straightened up suddenly: "I'm here." ”

Jiu De Aki laughed out loud with a "poof": "Senior, the way you answer others is like Norma." ”

"Ah...... Hahaha. ”

Ye Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment and changed the topic: "Aki, do you have anything to ask when you call me?" ”

Jiu De Aki stretched out a finger and poked it on his chin, looking cute: "There are a lot of questions, senior, can you answer them?" ”

Ye Sheng patted his chest: "I know everything." ”

"Okay."

Aki nodded with a smile of ill will.

"First question."

"Senior brother, as my partner, you should know me very well, right?"

"Can you tell me about what kind of person Aki Sakatoku is three years later?"

Ye Sheng was suddenly punched into his memories by this question.

"Aki Aki Sakutoku...... In my impression, she is a very handsome girl. ”

"Positive and hardworking, sunny and optimistic, and tenacious."

"The goal must be achieved, the things that I insist on will always be done, and I never give up easily, although I am a little stubborn, but it is very cute."

Jiu De Aki covered his face with his hands: "Senior, I will blush if you praise me like this." ”

Ye Sheng suddenly broke free from his memory and coughed dryly: "Ahem, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Aki is like a schoolboy in a class, holding his hand high, "Do I have anything I like?" ”

"Yes, there are a lot of them."

Ye Sheng thought for a while, folded his hands and counted them: "I like swimming, I like windsurfing, I like surfing, I like new clothes, I like small skirts, I like fighting, I like to eat sushi and sukiyaki, and there are cookies from White Valentine's house." ”

Counting and counting, Ye Sheng looked up and saw Jiu De Aki, who got down from the hospital bed and came to his side to stare at him at some point, and was suddenly startled.

"What are you doing!?"

Jiu De Yaji didn't say a word, stared directly at Ye Sheng's eyes, and asked softly: "Senior, you know so much, is it possible that you like me?" ”

Ye Sheng's heart skipped a beat, as if he had returned to the summer of his junior year, when the girl was sitting beside him in a swimsuit, and asked him softly: "Senior, you keep calling me "Aki", is it possible that you like me?" ”

(In Japan, only close people can be called by their first names.) ）

Ye Sheng forcibly looked away and didn't look at Jiude Aki: "Don't think about it, it's just because we've been together for too long." ”

"Huh-" Aki was a little dissatisfied, "I thought you always called me Aki because you liked me." ”

Some people are obviously soft all over the body, but their mouths are particularly hard: "I'm just used to it!" ”

"Oh."

Jiu De Yaji replied and sat directly beside Ye Sheng.

The sky outside the window was already a little cloudy, and the morning glow pierced the clouds and brought out the dawn, and the clouds on the horizon were golden red.

The two of them sat on chairs in the hospital room, watching the sun rise side by side, and the light scattered on the two of them, soaking every inch of their skin warmly.

Jiu De Aki looked at the rising sun intently, and Ye Sheng looked at Jiu De Aki intently.

The sunlight shone on Aki's body, blurring golden outlines, and in the brown pupils were optimism, hope, courage, and uneasiness that were hidden.

The girl woke up and found that she had slept for three years, and she did not break down, did not complain, did not vent loudly everything she had lost, but chose to accept it silently.

But what has become of this world in the span of three years?

The girl is uneasy about the world.

"Now, senior."

Aki took a deep breath and asked, "Do I have a boyfriend?" ”

Ye Sheng was stunned, he didn't expect Jiu De Yaji to ask such a question, but he still answered honestly: "No." ”

It's true that although two people are intimate and have the same heart to mind, they have never really determined their relationship.

Jiu De Aki is waiting, waiting for Ye Sheng's confession.

Ye Sheng is also waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

So the two are not really together.

"I don't have a boyfriend yet."

Jiu De Aki smiled: "Senior, you are wrong." ”

"I don't like swimming, I don't like surfing, I don't like windsurfing, I hate everything that has to do with water because I used to drown as a kid, so I have a fear of water."

"I like new clothes, but I rarely wear skirts because they are expensive and difficult to care for, and my financial situation does not allow me to buy them often."

"I love sushi and sukiyaki, but I've never eaten White Valentine's cookies because they're expensive and not affordable."

"As for grappling...... Do you really think there will be girls who like martial arts? ”

Jiu De Aki turned his head and looked at Ye Sheng seriously: "Senior, these are not my hobbies, but I have insisted on doing them in the past three years, because I am a person who will not give up easily, and I must get what I want." ”

"But I didn't expect that after three years, I didn't grow at all."

"You know what, senior? I suddenly felt that the amnesia was good, at least it gave me back the feeling I had at the beginning, and I didn't care about anything anymore. ”

"I don't know why I won't tell you directly three years later, but now, I'm going to take advantage of the amnesia to let you know, I'm afraid that if I regain my memory, I'll look forward and backward again!"

"I don't like any of these things! It's because there is a personal need that I can stick to it! ”

"It's all because of that person, that person needs me to be able to swim, to be able to windsurf, to be able to surf, so I will go and overcome my fears!"

"That person likes to see me wear a dress, so I'll show him it!"

"That person needs me to protect, that's why I'm going to learn martial arts!"

"It's all because of that person!"

"It's all because of you!"

"Although I don't know what I think now, maybe my memory can't be recovered, but listen to me senior."

"Three years later, Jiu De Aki likes Ye Sheng."

Jiu De Aki's voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous and powerful, and it crashed into Ye Sheng's heart at once.

Jiu De Yaji smiled, his smile was like the morning sun outside the window, which made Ye Sheng stunned for a while.

"Now, senior."

"Did I protect you?"
