How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

Is it possible that at that time, Mr. Leung felt this way?

I refused a confession from a person named Ichinose.

I really didn't think anything about him.

Instead, there was nothing in my head back then but Mr. Leung.

I still don't know if I liked him since then.

However, I can't afford to think about anything other than him, perhaps even myself.

"So, Nanba, go out with me."

I was just thinking about how I could make him happy.

I don't think Ichinose's words resonated at all with me.

"I want to start with my friends," he said.

But even my relationship as a friend was too heavy for me at that time.

It's just about Mr. Leung.

"... I'm sorry, but I refuse."

No, you should stop fooling around.

I'm sure I've had Mr. Leung since that time.

I really think about Ms. Nanba.

"... I see. By the way, why?

And now it's much, much better than then.

"I... have someone I like."

I just stopped crying.

I wiped my eyes with a handkerchief many times to avoid seeping tears again.

I feel like I've been crying since I met Mr. Leung.

"And, well, what is it? I'm... already dating."

You hated it when people found out.

Like him, a clumsy way to say no.

Still, I'm kind of glad you said that.

"Ahahah. Hey, it's too late."

"... bad"

"Why are you apologizing? But I shouldn't have been spying on you."

"That might be..."

"Ah, shock. I'm in shock. I'm going home."

……

"... you can't hold me back. I don't really feel like I have a chance."

It seemed to me that I could see what kind of face Mr. Leung was looking like.

I was ready to shed as much tears as I could in the meantime and leave in front of him.

I didn't want to hide like this.

Sayano-san passed by me in the shade with her quick feet.

At that time, she didn't look at me, but she definitely turned to me and said.

"I lost."

Sayano-san kept tears on the corner of his eyes, but still didn't break his steadfast expression.

I stared at her back for a while as she walked away.

"Ri, Rihua...!?

When I showed up, Mr. Leung was in a hurry and turned to look bad.

"Did you see that...?"

"It must be each other. It's in return someday."

"Well, yes, but...."

Mr. Leung was scratching his cheek as if it were illuminated.

Looking at his face like that, I couldn't seem to be there anymore, and without knowing it, I hugged Lian from the front.

"Ri, Ri Hua! Oh, come on!

"I don't like it... I don't want to leave now."

Despite my stupid remarks, Lian only exhaled one breath.

And then you petted my head modestly.

"... are you worried?

"I didn't. I'm not worried."

I see.

It was a lie.

The thread of anxiety and tension broke, and I was totally broken.

"... I'm sorry, it's been a few days. I just can't organize my feelings...."

"No... that's fine. I think I'm sorry too... because I've been thinking a lot. But from now on, let's talk properly. Yakimochi, stubborn, and angry. I'll take it all."

While saying that, Lian turned his arm around my back and hugged me.

I wonder what we're doing even though we're still in school.

But I was so happy and crazy that I didn't care about it, that I didn't care about anything else.

"Yes, and so is Mr. Leung. Please talk to me properly."

"Oh, I know. Let's talk about it, hit it properly, and fight it properly. You can't talk, you can't meet, and that's because you don't like people."

"... that's right. We're... different."

Afterwards, we put on a uniform that was only a little disturbed, and the two of us left the school gate side by side.

The sky was completely dyed at sunset, and it was kind of purposefully beautiful.

For the first time, I want to eat Ricoh's food.

"That's fine. Instead, let's get hands together and go home."

"Ah... it's time to go back to school."

"What are you saying after hugging each other on campus?"

"Well, maybe so, but...."

"That's enough, if they find out. That way, the bad bugs won't come near."

"Chi, you look a little scary, Lihua."

We took each other's hands, laughing at each other.

That day, the day I first held hands, Mr Leung said.

"This way we can see each other's strides."

Sure, maybe.

Because if you do this, you'll think that you and I can walk together.
