"Huh!! Did he say that?! Red covered her mouth in surprise.

Qi Mu Qian supported her cheek with one hand, and said helplessly for her friend's overly big reaction: "Yes." ”

"Wow, it's okay to be young this year, super straight ball!" Red slapped the table excitedly and poured another sip of beer. "What do you think? Promised? You wouldn't have already refused, would you? ”

"Nope. I said 'thank you'. Not...... But ......" Qimu Qian also picked up the wine glass with some hesitation and took a sip: "Is this a confession?" I always feel a little vague......"

"Because Akane didn't give him a reaction, did you?" Hong analyzed objectively: "I can't be sure of the other party's thoughts, and I haven't gotten any possible hints, and it is likely to fail directly if I confess directly - maybe the other party is thinking about this?" However, I think his words speak very well to his heart! Speaking of which, did Akane give him any hints? ”

Qimu Qian tilted her head and thought about it, then hesitated: "...... I invited him to dinner? ”

“…… What else? ”

"Well, I'm ...... Hugged him? ”

“！！！！ What!! You hugged him!! ”

"Red, Red, calm down."

"You're a scumbag, Qi Mu Qian!"

"Huh?!"

"You've hugged someone! People must think you like him!! He's said that to you, but you say 'thank you' back!? Qimu Qian, you are not human, you have no heart at all. You run after teasing, and leave after hugging, so ruthless! God, I feel so sorry for that boy now. ”

"Yes, is it that serious?!"

"Then tell me the details, and I'll see if there's anything I don't know? Hurry up, tell me in detail, how you hugged him! What's his reaction?? ”

Looking at Hong's excited gossip appearance, Qi Muqian hesitated, thinking that it was right or wrong to discuss with her? But now, she finally recounted the situation succinctly.

“…… He holds your arm and leans against your shoulder. ”

"How, how?"

“…… It's pathetic. He definitely likes you, and he definitely thinks you like him. I didn't expect you to turn your face and not recognize people when you left the izakaya, and you were going to distance yourself again. It's so pitiful, it's so pitiful. ”

Qi Mu Qian was said by her, and couldn't help but carefully recall Mazumi's expression at that time—his expression...... Is there sadness and loss?

She was inexplicably a little uneasy: "...... You're saying as if I've gone too far. ”

"Because ah! Akane you think! You haven't had a lover for so many years, you're a well-known insulator, and basically no one dares to approach you until now, right? It's obvious that he can get to this point, so it's up to you what you think. If you think you can, you have to give him a signal. But if you say 'thank you', isn't that equivalent to a rejection for him? He must have thought that you were trying to keep your distance from him, and just wanted to be an ordinary senior-relative relationship. ”

"Eh......"

"But! It's okay, we can salvage it! Anyway, the point is, what do you think of him? ”

"......" Qimu Qian showed a look of wanting to say something.

"What? Isn't it hard to say? ”

"Hmm, what do you think...... That is, very gentle people. Gentle and harmless...... It seems that no matter what, he can tolerate and understand. ”

"W-like?"

“……”

"At the very least, it's not annoying, is it?"

"I hate it, but I don't hate it."

"So, what about intimate contact?"

"Huh?"

"It's, you think, holding hands with him, kissing or something...... Will it resist? ”

“…… Yes, do you want to do this? ”

"Because if you don't just want to do this kind of thing, if you don't want to—to be honest, Akane," Red said seriously, "that's liking." ”

“……”

Qi Mu Qian lowered her eyes, and she was in a strange mood imagining the appearance of that person in her mind.

And then...... Well......

Kiss......

If you do, you have to get close to him first...... If he suddenly approached, he would probably look at him with a puzzled expression......

Start with cheeks?

It's not that difficult.

She imagined touching his cheek.

Well, not annoying.

And then there'...... Mouth?

But thinking of this, Qi Mu Qian suddenly had another thought: Ah damn, why should I think about these things here alone, I shouldn't have called Hong over to discuss, it's really a brain that suddenly broke down......!

It's the first time that Akane Qimu has lived for so long, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. But Hong was still urging there: "So? What do you think? ”

“…… Not annoying. ”

"Where do you imagine kissing?"

"Face."

"Where's the mouth? What about kissing? What about the tongue? ”

“？？？”

"Give it a try!"

“……”

Akane Hachiki grimaced and sighed.

What is this situation called ......?

Is it called self-inflicted iniquity, and you cannot live?

She lowered her eyes and sketched the image of the man in her mind.

Not......

"Akane senpai."

That's what he must have called her.

Then he bent his eyes politely, gently, and with a little surprise, and smiled.

Mouth......

Mouth......

…… I've never paid much attention to that kind of place before.

However, I still remember the way he spoke, so I can still remember the shape of his lips.

I don't know why, but I imagined that they were walking side by side on the street together, and he seemed to be talking all the time, but because his mind was full of "kissing kissing kissing", he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

As if sensing the absent-mindedness of the people around him, he finally frowned slightly in confusion: "Senior Qian......?" ”

Stopped!

Now is the time!

The best chance!

Qi Mu Qian quickly leaned over and pressed her lips to his lips.

…… I always felt that he would be stunned on the spot.

Red asked curiously, "How is it?" ”

Obviously, it was just a fictitious thing, but Qimu Qian felt that the tips of her ears were a little hot, she looked away and said in a low voice: "...... Not annoying. ”

"So—do you have any doubts about your own intentions?"

“……”

"Do you want to keep thinking about whether or not you can accept rolling the sheets?"

Obviously, there were a series of eighteen prohibitions at home, but Qi Mu Qian immediately refused with a wry smile: "No, forget it!" It's too early anyway! ”

She sighed and said, "If anything, what doubts do you have...... It's like, 'Are we really the right fit?' ', this kind of thinking. ”

"What does 'suitable' mean?"

"It's just whether you can go on forever." Qi Mu Qian pinned a strand of broken hair from her ear behind her ear and looked out the window. I don't know why, maybe it's because the imaginary kiss just now is too beautiful, so in reality, the other party is not around, which makes her feel a little strange.

Red seemed to be a little surprised: "You...... You're not thinking about getting married, are you? ”

"But, if you're dating, of course you're going to be together all the time, right?" Qi Mu Qian turned her gaze back and said seriously, "Could it be that someone is dating for the sake of separating in the future?" If I want to be with someone...... I just want to be with him all the time. ”

Red frowned a little worriedly, "But, this kind of thought is a bit heavy, Akane." ”

"We're at this age, we can't help it." Qimu Qian smiled, "You can't be like a little girl in her teens, and she doesn't care about anything when her mind is hot." I can't move anymore. ”

"But...... I think that since Akane has already considered this problem, it means that he has a play, right? ”

......Hearing this, Qi Mu Qian's slender hands rested on her chin, revealing a thoughtful look.

“…… Hey, don't look like you're thinking about mission combat countermeasures to emotional problems, okay? ”

"The First Evolution"

Qi Mu Qian was slightly stunned, couldn't help but touch her face, and hesitated: "Is there one?" Is my expression like that? ”

"Yes. But this also shows that Akane you...... It may seem like it doesn't matter, but ...... In fact, he is a very cautious character in this regard. But...... You also have to consider that he is only eighteen years old, right? The idea that "dating is about getting married" may be a bit too heavy and scare people away. Boys of this age rarely fall in love and make the consciousness that they are ready to get married in the future, right? Because I like it, I naturally stay together, and then go on naturally...... Maybe they will get married in the end, but they bring it up at the beginning...... It's going to stress him, right? ”

“…… If he can't be as serious as I am, then being together is just a waste of time. ”

Seeing Qimu Qian showing a serious look, Sunset Red was stunned, and then suddenly smiled.

"Well—I don't know what he thinks. But, I've made sure, Akane - you really care about him. Oh, that young man is really powerful, he can actually make our famous Writing Wheel Eye Qi Mu Qian think so seriously about whether we can marry him in the future. Hahaha, when I think about it like this, I inexplicably have a feeling of raising my eyebrows in turn in feng shui. ”

“…… That's what it feels like. ”

"Because, since you were a child, you have been a genius. Powerful, beautiful, boys like you, all the girls in the same period are pressed by your aura, although later your character is not so arrogant and cold, but no one can get close, it is still a kaolin flower. However, it used to be a kaolin flower covered with frost and snow, and now it is a flower that seems to be warm in the spring breeze, which seems to be very close, but in fact, it has long feet, as long as someone is close, it will immediately run away with a smile, no one can catch up, no one can catch it. ”

The corners of Qi Mu Qian's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly: "...... What a strange metaphor you have! ”

"So, thinking that Qi Mu Qian, who made so many people's hearts sad, will be caught up one day, I think-hahahahaha, even if it is Qi Mu Qian, she is really just an ordinary person."

But Sunset Red smiled and smiled, and sighed slowly: "While thinking about this, I feel ...... I don't know which guy can be so lucky, it's so hateful. If you find a mediocre guy, we women who have been pressed by you and men who admire you will not give up! ”

“…… That, red, ......" Hearing this, Qimu Qian couldn't help but remind with a dry smile: "I haven't made a decision yet, right......?" Why do you act like you're going to marry me off soon...... ”

……

I don't know why, not long after I went home with Qimu, I started sneezing non-stop at home, which made me worry about whether I needed to quarantine at home.

But after shoveling the litter, I lay on the couch, ready to hurry up and finish my unfinished business.

Debut!
