4:15 p.m.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the open window, reflecting the boy sitting by the window reading a book.

A petite girl, hiding behind a bookshelf, carefully watched the teenager, feeling her heart pounding and the back of her head tingling.

At this point in time, it was the time when Serizawa Yukiha finished talking to the ghost head and went home with Aida-kun, and Kawashima Sumino wanted to come to Yahiko Akizuki to make a chance encounter and talk.

Because Yahiko Akizuki did not choose to stand at the door of the library and wait for Kawashima Sumino, but sat and read, the intersection and subsequent development between them have changed differently......

"Come on, Cheng Nai, go up and talk!"

Kawashima Sumino kept taking deep breaths, taking deep breaths, cheering himself up in small voices, and clenching two small pink fists.

Pity.

No matter how much she encouraged herself, when she took the first step forward, she couldn't help but hold back.

"Woo......"

After several retreats, Kawashima Sumino couldn't help but become depressed, his little head drooping, leaning against the bookshelf, his heart full of loss.

Many times, she gave up halfway.

Even if you pluck up the courage to talk, it will always evolve into saying hello and then leaving with nothing to say.

…… She didn't want to experience that again.

Because, she will be full of regret, chagrin, and self-loathing.

Why is he so stupid and can't speak?

Why, can't you muster up more courage and invite Yahiko Akizuki to study together, add a line, or go home together and read a book together......

The girl's heart is always so young and ignorant, she doesn't know how to express it, and she can't muster up the courage, so she can only cautiously try it, and then as if she has touched a taboo, she retracts it in a hurry.

"Kawashima-san, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a low, strong, magnetic male voice came from beside him.

- Kawashima Sumino didn't hear it, she was still chagrined, regretful, self-doubting, self-loathing.

Until, Yahiko Akizuki stretched out his hand, patted her shoulder gently, and continued to call: "Kawashima-san? ”

At this moment, Kawashima Sumino, who felt the touch from his shoulder, finally came back to his senses and subconsciously looked to his side.

She couldn't help but be startled when she saw the tall Akizuki Yahiko, with his elbows propped up on the bookshelf, looking down at her.

Akizuki Yahiko's broad back blocked the sunlight shining in from the window, making the small area in front of him form a distinct sense of light difference with his surroundings.

Under the floating light dust and shadows, his well-defined face is even more handsome and delicate, and his dark eyes are as deep as a bottomless abyss.

Slowly, gradually, everything was attracted.

"Autumn, Autumn Moon...... Schoolmate? ”

Kawashima Sumino couldn't believe that Yahiko Akizuki would talk to her, a pair of round and transparent apricot eyes, blinking and blinking, wondering if he was wrong.

"It's me."

Yahiko Akizuki nodded, and then asked, "You seem to have been watching my side, is there something wrong?" ”

Of course, he could detect that Kawashima Sumino, who had been hiding behind the bookshelf, probing his brain, peeking at him carefully, and then quickly retracting his gaze, couldn't hide it because of that clumsy and enthusiastic gesture.

"No, it's nothing......"

"Don't deny you're looking at me?"

"Huh?!"

Kawashima Sumino immediately opened her eyes, her fair little face turned red in an instant, and the feeling of panic dominated her heart and consciousness.

"No, no, no! I didn't look at Akizuki-san! ”

"Didn't you just keep probing your head and looking at me?"

“…… Woo. ”

Realizing that Kawashima Sumino had been exposed, he was immediately deflated and no longer had a hard mouth.

"I just...... I just want to talk to Qiuyue-san, but I feel like it will disturb you, so I'm hesitant. ”

"Really......"

Yahiko Akizuki answered, falling silent.

Kawashima Sumino was equally speechless. At the moment, her brain was racing, racking her brain to think about how to keep the conversation going.

How nice is the weather today? What did you eat at noon? What book were you reading just now? Can we go home together?

Kawashima Sumino is actually a bit of a social phobia, and he is always nervous unconsciously when talking to others, and the topics that come to his mind are always some irrelevant daily greetings.

This kind of greeting, as long as the other party answers, can not be further in-depth conversation.

A smile tugged at the corner of Akizuki's mouth, and with a teasing attitude, he asked, "Kawashima-san, why do you want to talk to me?" ”

"Because, because, I, I, I care a little bit about Akizuki-san......"

How could Kawashima Sumino say that she had a secret crush, so she could only euphemistically say that she cared.

However, this is also quite straightforward, at least in the case of little Japan, caring is almost the same as liking.

Especially this kind of shy, shy face.

"Is this a confession to me?" The smile on Akizuki Yahiko's face was even worse, he leaned down and leaned his face closer, "Take a closer look, Kawashima-san's is also cute, why should you be afraid of society?" Like you, as long as you have a cheerful personality, you will become the existence of the stars and the moon, right? ”

"No, no, no, no! I can't do it! Kawashima Sumino shook his head and vetoed without thinking, his frightened expression as if he had seen a ghost.

There's no way she's going to be like that, in every sense of the word.

"Haha, Kawashima-san, you're so interesting, do you want to go home together?"

Yahiko Akizuki straightened up with a smile and sent her an invitation, already thinking in her heart about how to kidnap Kawashima Sumino and take her away at night.

Commonly known as elopement.

Simulation time is short, so it's better to forget everything and try to enjoy it.

It's like when you know that you don't have much left in your life, you think about where to travel, where to see the world, and you go crazy and wantonly to squander everything you have.

"Huh? 1. Go home together? ”

Kawashima Sumino couldn't believe that Yahiko Akizuki would take the initiative to invite her, but his warm smile and the large hand reaching forward convinced her that it was all true.

In addition to surprise and confusion, she couldn't help but be a little ...... Unhappy.

Why is it unhappy?

She knew very well that this unhappiness was a frivolous gesture of Yahiko Akizuki.

Thinking back to just now, Yahiko Akizuki had been teasing her with ease, and then invited her like this.

Although, it was a good opportunity, but for some reason, she wanted to turn it down.

Girls are so troublesome, their minds are delicate and sensitive, and as long as they feel the slightest mistake, they will involuntarily think and be suspicious.

This is especially true of social terror like Kawashima Sumino.

Because of social fear, her mind even began to be a little gloomy - secretly thinking that it would be good that Yahiko Akizuki could be like her, an introverted and socially phobic person, so that she would not have contact with other girls and would not show such a good-looking smile to other girls.
