……

I haven't been touched in a long time.

Although I want to say that I have never been touched on the head, but when I think about it, I can't guarantee it.

But since I crossed over, I don't feel like I've ever been comforted like this.

When I was a child, Sister Dou tried to do this, but at that time, my mental age could not accept that I was touched by a little girl like this, so I avoided it.

Since then...... It seems that I have always played the role of comforting and taking care of others. And if I can't help, at least I can keep others from worrying or messing up.

So now after being touched by Qimu Qian, I was stunned for a moment.

Then I couldn't help but be a little angry.

Why comfort me? Think of me as a weakling? Do I look like I need comfort?

If I need comfort, isn't that the equivalent of saying, "What happened that seemed to others to need comfort??"

I'm not upset. All said and done, I don't feel real at all.

So, why comfort me?

Could it be that I am the only one who thinks that Ning Ning is not dead? ?

For some reason, I felt very angry. The anger was sudden and unreasonable, and by the time I reacted, my eyes were already swelling uncontrollably.

"Damn......" I reached out and covered my face, clenching my teeth fiercely.

Qi Muqian withdrew her hand, supported her chin, looked at me quietly for a while, and suddenly got up and walked to my side.

She knelt down towards me, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to me and hugged me.

"Oops...... You don't like to be touched...... Is it because it's a boy? ”

She whispered, patting me on the back. "I'm sorry, but I don't have much experience comforting men...... It's okay, though...... It's okay......"

Her voice gradually lowered, like a mother coaxing a crying baby.

And both men and women can't refuse to hug when they are sad.

Akane Hagi lent me her shoulder, and I realized that it was still in the store, and although there were not many customers, I might be seen by someone, so I felt a little embarrassed and grabbed her arm and hid my face in her shoulder.

She gently stroked my back, tolerant and understanding, silent and gentle.

When I came to my senses, I took a deep breath, straightened up and said to her, "...... Thank you. ”

Qimu Qian subconsciously raised her hand, as if she habitually wanted to touch my head, but remembering that I didn't like it, she paused, lowered her hand, changed her movements, and gently flicked my eyelashes.

"Hmm." My eyelashes were wet with tears, and as soon as she reached out and touched them, I instinctively narrowed my eyes to try to avoid the strange feeling.

"Are you going back?"

She asked me with a smile.

“…… Well. Let's go back. ”

"This time, I said that I was in for a treat, don't rush to pay, right?"

Although I felt a little tired inexplicably and my mood was not relaxed, I couldn't help but smile when I heard this. "Okay."

We stood up together, and I followed her, watched her settle the bill, and then silently followed her out again.

It was already dark outside, and I watched Qimu Qian walking on the road, even if the lights were bright on both sides, her surroundings were actually dim.

"Akane senpai."

I couldn't help but shout.

"Huh?" Qimu Qian turned around, looked at me and smiled.

"Akane senior...... So comforting to me, but you...... Got out? ”

"......" Qimu Qian was stunned and subconsciously stopped.

I stopped behind her.

She looked at me, and I looked at her.

“…… People who are consistent on the outside are the most convincing when they say it. But the words of Akane senior...... As long as I think of the situation of Akane's seniors, I will feel ......"

"......" The smile on Akane Qimu's face disappeared.

When she stared at me, her expression became cold, and she exuded a strong sense of oppression tempered by battle.

Although the cold and arrogant appearance is also very beautiful, but ...... Compared with her hiding her edge and pretending to be calm, the appearance that will be revealed now is almost terrifying.

It's like asking violently - can you afford to force me out like this?

I don't know what I'm thinking.

It's because Qi Mu Qian touched my heart without permission and made me feel offended, so do I want to poke her scar at the moment?

Or is it ......

"Since Akane's predecessor said that she understands the pain of the death of someone close to her, and that she can understand that pain, she can't leave me alone and say that she shouldn't let me sink into the lost past...... So, when I look at you, who are still in pain, have you ever thought about my thoughts? ”

"What thoughts?"

I subconsciously replied without thinking: "Of course, I want Akane seniors to be happy!"

Isn't this the reason why after I crossed over, after using the gold finger again, there is no way to completely give up this ability until now?

I've done so much, so many things, isn't it all because as long as I can do it, I want everyone to be as happy as possible?

I've completely reproduced the story of Uchiha Obito in front of you, and Kakashi Hachiki was finally able to be relieved, why haven't you changed at all?

Why...... Or will I always see you in the cemetery?

Now you, to the Uchiha Dai...... After knowing about Obito, do you feel more guilty about her and can't let go of her?

That's not what I meant to show you the moon reading, hey!

"You want me," but just when my mind was confused by various emotions, Qimu Qian's voice came to my ears with a faint coolness, "Get happiness?" ”

She probably didn't want to meet with me, and after a pause, she softened her tone a little, trying to make up for the rift just now in a flat tone: "I don't have anything unhappy about now."

“…… People who have been hurt will close their hearts very tightly and are difficult to touch. Akane senior...... Isn't it because they perceive this that they come near me? ”

Qi Mu Qian said slylyly: "You think so."

"You will subconsciously feel safe with your own kind; Wounded beasts will also snuggle up to each other and lick their wounds; Because each other has forbidden areas that they don't want to be touched, it is natural that they should all have a tacit understanding to cross the line cautiously-"

I said, "That's what I thought."

"......" Qi Mu Qian was silent for a moment, and then showed a wry smile that was a little whitewashed: "I...... Did you do something that made Masumi-kun angry? Why are you suddenly coming at me like this? ”

"Nope. Thank you so much. I said seriously: "I am very happy and very grateful to Akane Senpai who will take the initiative to approach me." So...... Every time I see that you are always hiding yourself, you will feel that you can't help and feel very anxious. ”

"Ah...... Hiding yourself? Qi Mu Qian was not ready to give up resistance here, she smiled and said, "I think, it doesn't seem to be either, right?" ”

"So, who is Akane fooling with her smile now?"

I looked at her and puffed out, "Habitually laughing and telling people that I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm okay...... It's gentle, but it's ...... Is it really okay? ”

Your comfort is also like saying to me-"Ning Ning is really gone, and it's not impossible to stubbornly think that she is not dead, but is it really okay?" ”

"So," I sighed and said as I saw that Akane-senpai was comforting me until now, and was about to hurt each other, "I want to say ...... Akane Senpai always wants to cry sometimes, right? If...... If you can't find a suitable place, come to me. ”
