Chapter 250 You are the snow mountain, he is the sunrise

The three people were about to board the Ferris wheel.

The staff who made the arrangements seemed somewhat surprised, since it wasn't a rule that only two people could go up.

There are four, five, and six of them.

just
These three young men and women are just too good-looking; they could easily debut as stars on the spot.

More importantly, having seen so many couples, I can generally tell what is ambiguous and what constitutes a formal relationship.

But these three people
If you're going to be ambiguous, then don't make it too obvious.

Every glance seemed to tell a different story.

The problem is
It didn't seem like they were trying to hide it; it was as if they both knew perfectly well what was going on.

Has our era really progressed to this point? These people are the type who could easily find a high-quality partner, so why do they have to crowd together and not give others a chance?
But it didn't seem to concern her; she just watched as a few people got on the Ferris wheel.

I wanted to post something on my personal feed to express my feelings, but I don't know what to say.
Well, I wish them happiness.

The whole world should be happy! Life and work are already bad enough, and even seeing others happy makes it seem even worse.

The three of them, of course, had no idea that just a few images could stir up such a stir in other people's hearts.

Fortunately, I'm no longer the type to care so much about what others think.

As the Ferris wheel slowly started moving.

The night view outside gradually came into view: lights, countless figures, and the gradually fading noise.

It was as if his soul was leaving his body, gradually departing from this world.

Sitting on this side, Tsukino Gen looked at the two girls opposite him and said, "When did you two become so close? You're practically glued to each other."

I don't even know what I missed.

It seemed that the atmosphere changed slightly after leaving the haunted house. When they got on the Ferris wheel, the two of them automatically sat together, and it seemed that no one cared about the seats next to them.

What's going on? Even handsome guys get hurt, you know?

Especially for a handsome guy like himself, self-esteem is very important.

Looking at these two now, they're practically holding hands. Are they playing Burning Winter with their buddies?

"It's none of your business. Don't ask too many questions about girls' affairs."

Asagiri Rin replied bluntly.

Kazama Sakura said with a smile, "Does A-Xuan feel like we're neglecting him?"

"No, that's not the case. I'm not a baby chasing after my mother for milk."

"Lower your head a little further."

"It feels more reassuring to nod down when you're so high up on a Ferris wheel."

Tsukino Gen leaned against the glass window, and as they rose higher, Asagiri Rin's tension became more apparent.

A fear of heights cannot be cured by riding a roller coaster once, and Kazama Sakura, realizing this, gently held the hand of the young lady beside her, though only covering the back of her hand.

However, the warmth she received calmed Asagiri Rin down considerably.

She also noticed the similarities between Kazama Sakura and Tsukino Gen; they were both people who were very good at conveying warmth to others.

Even if the girl next to me has gone through things that don't seem warm at all.

"Anyway, whatever fallacies you make, they all seem reasonable."

"Then you have too much prejudice against me. As it turns out, I am sometimes a bit too blunt, but I'm mostly right."

A fully confident personality, like a sand sculpture that will never be washed away by the sea.

Asagiri Rin couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You can take your narcissism with you to your grave. Your epitaph can read: A man who was confident his whole life."

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment, "It's really good. I think this epitaph is really cool."

Watching the two bicker, Kazama Sakura laughed heartily, to the point that she had to cover her lips slightly with her hand.

"boom!"

Just at this time.

The sound of fireworks exploding could be heard outside.

The three of them looked over at the same time, and a dazzling display of fireworks exploded in the sky. The originally dark and dense night sky was illuminated with a kaleidoscope of colors.

Wow, it looks so good.

Kazama Sakura felt there was no more beautiful moment than this.

The Ferris wheel propelled her high into the sky, as if fireworks were exploding at the same height, making her feel as if she were in the vast universe. Her hearing was affected to some extent, which is why she had the illusion that her soul had left her body.

Looking at the girl's carefree and innocent appearance.

Asagiri Rin couldn't help but ask, "How did it compare to the fireworks you watched together last time?"

Gen Tsukino paused, stunned.

You have such a good memory, you still remember?

Sakura Kazama smiled and turned to look at the young lady, "If Asagiri-kun is really that curious, we can go release them together next time."

"Who wants to be with you guys?"

Asagiri Rin scoffed, wondering who had privately expressed various grievances to Tsukino Gen, the subtext being that they hoped they would be the protagonist experiencing something similar next time.
That's just true.

A romance involving three people is not the kind of romance she desires.

It wasn't romance in the normal sense of her dictionary either.

Sakura Kazama smiled and said softly, "Don't you think it's like today, where we can do a lot of things together and have fun?"

Are you really happy?

Asagiri Rin couldn't help but ask.

Sakura Kazama nodded vigorously. "I'm really happy. Even though I've had friends before, it never felt like the three of us were together. Maybe the three of us are really compatible?"

The word "fit" sounds a bit odd. Perhaps "well-matched" or something similar would be more appropriate.

But it seems more like an implication of this relationship between the individuals; there's no more normal word for it because its very existence is abnormal.

Asagiri Rin looked at Tsukino Gen, thought for a moment, and then looked out at the night sky. She found that she was not so afraid of heights anymore.

she said softly.

"This kind of relationship won't last long. Even if you say you don't care about other people's opinions, you'll still be affected. And when others ask, how can you answer honestly? This kind of wish is unrealistic, more idealistic than utopia."

Sakura Kazama shook her head. "Why think so much? Being happy now is enough. I never thought this way before, but after experiencing those things, I realized that sometimes we are too bound by the so-called future."

"Actually, the future isn't that important. The more you weigh the future, the harder it becomes to live in the present. We can be happier just because we feel like we have to take every step correctly so we won't regret it in the future. This kind of thinking leads us to not do anything well and feel unhappy about everything."

A glint flashed in Asagiri Rin's eyes. "You're even better at spouting profound truths than Tsukino now. You really are influenced by your surroundings."

Gen Tsukino smiled. "Don't pin all the blame on me. Besides, I think it's a good thing to be able to think like this. People can't stop thinking. They have to reflect on themselves all the time to grow and gain insights into life. Of course, there's no need to think so seriously. Whatever choice you make, I will respect it."

Gen Tsukino's smile was beautiful, even more so than the fireworks outside.

She couldn't bear to look at the brilliance of that moment.

They are all fine.

They all seemed to have experienced their own unique storylines, reached good conclusions, and successfully found new ways of life.

It seems like I'm all alone.

They are stagnating, or even pulling themselves apart.

It's like wanting to move forward, but something inexplicable, like your shadow, is pulling your steps in the opposite direction.

On the one hand, it's said that living life the way they suggest, relaxing, and enjoying the present moment is a good idea.

On the one hand, some people try to dissuade you: from their perspective, of course they want you to do this, because it's something that benefits their selfishness. But is that really what you want? Is that your original intention? Haven't you sacrificed the most from the beginning until now?

Complex thoughts tugged at my mind.

It's even like a split personality.

She hated the feeling of being forced to think, but she had to admit that if she didn't think, she would become the most naive one.

"Of course you'll respect it, since you have nothing to lose."

Gen Tsukino smiled and shook his head.

"How could there be no loss? How could you think that losing girls like you would be a fatal blow to one's entire life?"

"So you should try to hold on, instead of relying on us to make choices to make so-called sacrifices. That's not sacrifice, it's just shirking responsibility, it's cowardly."

It seems they finally couldn't hold back anymore.

At such a heart-pounding altitude, on such a night that one longs to savor.

The truth is like the blood that bursts forth with every vibration of the chest.

It was real and jarring.

Looking at her slightly evasive yet still stubbornly fixed gaze.

Gen Tsukino nodded. "That's right, it's my responsibility to fight for all of this. I cherish it immensely. I'm saying this so as not to put too much pressure on you, so that you can make the choices that best follow your own beliefs. Don't let anyone hold you hostage, not even me."

The Ferris wheel may go around and around, but eventually it will come down.

Everything seems to be returning to reality.

The clamor beneath my feet grew clearer and clearer.

Those tiny figures gradually grew taller.

It felt as if I had regained the texture of the earth beneath my feet.

The heart can be swallowed back into the stomach.

But for some reason, Asagiri Rin didn't want to leave. Even though it was a high place that she was afraid of, she didn't want to return to reality at this moment.

Because once you go back...

It's like facing those problems that still can't be solved.

People really do like to escape reality, even themselves.

Gen Tsukino was the first to stand up. He walked to the open doorway, then turned around and looked at the two silent girls inside.

It seems that everyone's mood was affected to some extent.

The boy simultaneously extended both his left and right hands toward them.

His smile was devoid of any frivolity; it was as sincere as a sculpture.

"If you don't know what to do, or how to get out of this door, take my hand, and I'll lead you there."

perhaps.

Pride prevents many abnormal phenomena from occurring.

perhaps.

Too many deeply ingrained notions about reality can hinder many things from happening.
