Chapter 59: I Like You
Qimu Qian smiled and said, "Why does Zhencheng-kun think this is teasing? ”
I tried to retaliate and make her feel, "Does Akane-senpai like me?" ”
“……”
She was silent.
"Look," I said, "Akane-senpai also feels like I'm being teased, right?" ”
"Hmm......" she looked embarrassed.
"So, don't tease me."
Qimu Qian paused, but only smiled and did not speak.
We waited in the bookstore for about ten minutes, but Sunset Red still didn't appear, which Akane seemed to have expected and was not surprised.
"Let's go, then." She looked at me and smiled, "Go on a date." ”
I was about to walk out of the door of the bookstore, and when I heard this, I subconsciously paused, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "Senior Qian, didn't you say don't tease me?" ”
But Qi Mu Qian's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and she pretended to be injured and said, "Doesn't Zhencheng-kun want to date me?" ”
"That ......" looked at her eyebrows and eyes, I don't know why, she seemed to be in a good mood, always teasing me, I decided to be a calm person who didn't be led by her nose. Where does Akane-senpai want to go? ”
As long as she looks unmoved, she feels bored, and probably won't continue to tease people like this, right?
"Do you have any recommendations for Masumi-kun?"
“…… Akane-senpai doesn't have any places you want to go? ”
"I can do it all. What about Masumi-kun? Where do you want to go? ”
…… I don't have either...... I almost bought everything I wanted to buy yesterday, and today I came out when I was ready to come over and run errands for my seniors......
However, when two people don't know where to go and what to do outside, the cinema is always a safe place to go without making a big mistake.
"That'...... Let's go to the movies? ”
Qimu Qian was stunned, and then agreed with a smile: "Okay." What to see? ”
"Let's go to the cinema first," I suggested, "and I don't know what new movies are coming out lately." ”
After all, although there are movies and movie theaters in Naruto World, there is no software such as "XX Review" and "X Eye".
And just as I was about to leave, Qimu Qian suddenly said, "Then, do you want to hold hands?" ”
“…… Yes? ”
"Don't you have to hold hands on a date? What if they get separated? ”
“???”
No, it doesn't seem that the flow of people in Konoha has reached this level......
"Akane senior...... You're a little weird today. ”
“…… Where is it strange? ”
But I hesitated, thinking that maybe something had happened to her recently.
Is it too stressed, or is it in a bad mood?
So tell me to come out and tease me to vent my stress?
However, I had told her before, "...... Akane Senpai always wants to cry sometimes, right? If...... If you can't find a suitable place, come to me. "In that case, therefore...... When she does come to me, I have to help.
She may not be too embarrassed to tell me directly that something has happened recently and needs my comfort, but this is unusual...... It's already telling.
"Nothing ......"
If you want to tell me, you will definitely say it in the end, and now expose her words in advance, maybe Qian's seniors will leave without admitting it in order to take care of face.
"That'...... Is it better to hold hands? ”
I tried my best to hold her hand.
However, it was obviously her own request, but when I touched her skin, her whole body stiffened uncontrollably.
…… So, it's okay to trick people into tricking themselves?
Obviously, I am not used to physical contact with others, so why do I have to force myself to hold hands?
I couldn't help but think it was very funny how she lifted a rock and hit her foot, and laughed.
"What's wrong? Didn't Akane's predecessor say that he wanted to hold hands? ”
“…… It's nothing. She quickly regained her apparent composure and held me back.
It was a very strange touch.
Her fingers were soft, but slender and flexible. In some places, there is also a layer of cocoons that have been worn out by the long-term use of weapons.
I inadvertently bumped into those places and subconsciously rubbed them.
“…… Isn't it a little rough? ”
Qi Mu Qian felt it, she turned her head to look at me, her eyes that were not blocked were bright and clear.
Although I couldn't see anything from other people's eyes, "a little cold, a little sarcasm, a little ridicule", but I don't know why, I inexplicably felt that her eyes and demeanor looked at me were extraordinarily gentle.
"Nothing. That's proof of Akane's seniors' strength and hard work. ”
"So it's still rough."
"But I think it's very reassuring."
"Will it?"
"Yes."
“…… However, isn't it better for a girl's hands to be weak and boneless, and her skin to be delicate? ”
"Hmm......" I said, with a thoughtful look, "Generally speaking, according to the public impression, it is indeed that standard. But ......"
"But?"
"But Akane Senpai is not an ordinary woman. It's extraordinarily good, extraordinarily good, extraordinarily remarkable women. ”
Qi Mu Qian lowered her eyes and reddened the tips of her ears slightly. “…… Also, there is no need to say so exaggerated. ”
"It's not an exaggeration. It's true! Akane seniors are so unconfident today? ”
I thought to myself, could it be that she has been in trouble lately with something that makes her mind her femininity? Otherwise, why would Qi Mu Qian care that she has a cocoon on her hand?
I think, as if I guessed, Akane Qimu asked me out for something this time.
"Speaking of which, Senior Akane, you're 26 years old this year, right?"
Qimu Qian paused, "Hmm. ”
Her tone was a little awkward, "It's rude to casually mention a woman's age, Matsumi-kun." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking...... Has someone put any pressure on the seniors recently? ”
"Pressure?"
"That's right, it's the kind of things like, why don't you have a boyfriend at the age of 26, you can't get married if you don't work hard, a woman is tofu scum after the age of 25, she can only be picked by others, and she is not qualified to pick others."
"......," Qimu Qian seemed to be stunned for a moment. …… I was indeed urged by a friend...... I don't care about myself, but ...... They seem to be anxious about me. ”
Really!
I guessed right!
I'm such a genius!!
"I'll just say it!" I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...... I may not be qualified to say that, but I think ...... Akane-senpai doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all! ”
Qi Mu Qian looked at me with a little smile in her eyes: "Why? ”
"Because the charm of Akane-senpai doesn't lie in her ordinary appearance - of course, I'm not saying that Akane-senpai's appearance is not good-looking, it's the opposite! No matter how old Akane Senpai is, she must be beautiful! Because the soul and personality charm of Akane's predecessors will always shine! ”
“…… Not. She turned her head patiently, as if biting her lip hard, as if controlling her expression. …… Is it? ”
"Of course!" I affirmed without thinking: "Even if Akane is thirty or forty years old, you don't have to wronged yourself or doubt your charm just because others say you should start a family." Good people are always good, age is not a problem at all! People are not goods, they have a shelf life, and they depreciate with age...... Akane's predecessor is the flower of kaolin, even if she is sixty years old, she is also the flower of kaolin! ”
Look at Kakashi, an old bachelor in his forties, can't he stop the little girl from screaming at him?
"Zhencheng-kun," and after listening to me, Qimu Qian seemed to understand something, and said softly: "You...... I really like me. ”
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and said, "Of course! Who wouldn't love Akane Senpai? ”
Kakashi's biggest black spot seems to be the only one who is fine, right?
I smiled and said, "I've always looked forward to Akane's senpai...... So now that I can walk with Akane seniors like this, say so many words, and even hold hands, it feels like a dream! ”
Hearing this, Qi Mu Qian looked left and right, and suddenly pulled me to a remote alley.
“? What's wrong? I asked, a little inexplicably.
But she just stopped, turned around, touched my cheek very gently, then closed her eyes, leaned over and kissed me.
"I too, like you."
