She gently rested her head on the boy's chest, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat, and continued with her eyes closed.

“Although I also know that there are many dark, ugly and dirty sides of the world, what the summer solstice showed me is a wonderful and beautiful world.”

"Because together with Xia Zhi, I have left so many precious memories in this world."

"Because Xia Zhi likes this world."

"Because it's the summer solstice, this world is beautiful to me. I love this world so much."

That's it...

Is the reason why the girl likes this world entirely because of herself?

Xia Zhi chuckled and did not continue the question. Instead, he hugged the girl tightly and whispered in her ear:

"Shall we go back to the room?"

After all, I've been here long enough.

Mio tilted her head slightly: "Is it okay to go back now?"

What could be the problem? Xia Zhi was a little confused.

"Sonoko, have you gone back yet?" Mio asked, seeing his puzzled expression.

Ah, this...

Listening to the girl's meaningful words, Xia Zhi curled his lips.

Could it be that she discovered Yuanzi who was hiding under the quilt at that time?

"I know."

Mio blinked and continued

"Sonoko was actually in the room before, right?"

The girl's answer confirmed his guess.

"How do you know?" Xia Zhi asked curiously.

"Because among the few of us, only Sonoko cooked the hot spring eggs."

Mio replied as a matter of course.

"There were a few strands of light blond hair on the bed, and there was a pleasant aroma in the air before I came. Also, the place next to you was warm at that time."

Mio's insight is as good as always.

However, were there so many loopholes at that time?

Xia Zhi thought about it, and then he felt his body lighten. With the sound of "splashing" water, the girl sat up slightly and came to him.

"Although you guys always dated behind my back before, this time it's really too much."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the girl's voice.

"In order not to embarrass Xia Zhi, I tried my best to be patient and not expose you."

What I mean is, are all the previous dates okay? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"so……"

Mio put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear

"...You have to compensate me."

Chapter 927 Nogi Sonoko wants to attack at night (?

"Once upon a time, deep in a forest, there lived a hunter named Yuanyuan..."

Time went back to a few hours ago. The girls who were doing the training camp put their quilts together and deliberately turned off the lights, leaving only the pale light from the flashlight, illuminating Dongxiang's deliberately gloomy face.

As a last activity before going to bed at night, they were telling ghost stories.

Let's not talk about why we should tell ghost stories before going to bed.

"Why, why is the protagonist's name my name?"

Nogi Sonoko hugged the tree beside her and asked stutteringly.

She is usually cheerful and lively, but she seems to be very scared of ghost stories.

"Isn't it more immersive this way?" Dongxiang said, tilting his head.

"Also, to make it clear, I have reversed your name."

If the nickname “Yuanyuan” is turned around, isn’t it still Yuanyuan?

Nogi Sonoko felt that Kojima seemed to have become a little bit mean, but she was in no mood to complain about this kind of thing because the ghost story was already going on.

"One day, the hunter Yuan Yuan was out hunting too late and couldn't find his way home, so he could only light a fire in the mountains and stay there temporarily..."

Even before getting to the point, Nogi Sonoko was already extremely nervous and hugged the girl next to her even tighter.

"Woooo..."

"Zono, let go! The tree is about to turn into a ghost!"

"Ah, I'm sorry... Xiaoshu won't come after me for revenge then, right?"

"The tree is so kind, so it won't happen."

The room suddenly became noisy.

Shu let out a long breath and felt that he had finally recovered... He almost thought he was going to die just now.

So this is what the Death card I turned over meant when I told myself the fortune today?

...But, sister, what does it mean that you have predetermined in advance that you will become a ghost?

She turned around and looked at her sister angrily.

On the other side, after everyone calmed down again, Dongxiang continued to tell the story: "The hunter lit a fire, and the flickering flames dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surrounding scene. The hunter then discovered that an old woman with wrinkles on her face had appeared beside him..."

"Hey~"

“Stop now~”

This time, even Shu was frightened and took the initiative to hug Nogi Sonoko beside him. The two of them hugged each other and huddled into the quilt, wrapping themselves into a ball.

Feng lowered his head and looked at himself

Oh, was she abandoned by the tree? Why did she want to hug the garden when she was right next to the tree?

She felt she had suffered a mental blow.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Only Yuki Yuna was listening with great interest. When the story stopped, she came to her senses and noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She tilted her head in confusion.

Since three people suffered "psychological trauma" at once, it was naturally impossible to continue telling the ghost story, and the story was forced to stop before it was even finished.

Considering how late it was, everyone went back to their beds, wished each other goodnight, and closed their eyes.

The house became quiet again, with only the girls' gradually calming breathing echoing in the silent room.

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Nogi Sonoko slowly opened her eyes and stared at the dark ceiling in a daze.

...Can't sleep.

She thought so in her heart.

Normally, she is a person who can fall asleep at any time. Even in the most serious or lively environment, she will fall asleep accidentally if she is not careful...especially during classes.

But tonight, she was unusually unable to sleep.

...Or rather, I fell asleep in a daze, but because there were always things on my mind, I couldn't sleep very deeply.

It has nothing to do with the ghost story just now.

She was just a little worried about what was happening with the boy.

Several hours had passed since he had sent that text message to himself.

Before returning to her room to sleep, she took a special look at the boy's room and found that the room was empty and still the same as when she left.

If it's a date, it usually doesn't take that long, right?

I don't know if they encountered any problems or if they had dinner.

Nogi Sonoko thought with some worry.

The girl stared at the ceiling for an unknown amount of time, still unable to fall asleep. She picked up her phone and turned on the screen to take a look.

……2:42

It's already early morning.

I wonder if Brother Xia Zhi and the others have returned?

She wanted to send a message to confirm with the boy, but considering how late it was, if the boy had really come back and fallen asleep, would it disturb him if she sent a text message at this time?

Thinking of this, Nogi Sonoko hesitated again.

She pursed her lips, turned her head to look at the black-haired girl who was fast asleep beside her, climbed out of the bed quietly, and decided to go and confirm it herself.

Logically speaking, the boy is both a god, an adult, and their teacher. No matter from which perspective, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

But she just couldn't help but worry.

Why is this?

After thinking for a while, Nogi Sonoko quickly got the answer.

After all, I am a brave man who protects God.

Isn't it natural to care about your own gods and think about them?

...So, it really has nothing to do with the fact that I couldn’t sleep because of ghost stories!

The girl thought so, changed into a more convenient outfit, and quietly opened the door.

"..."

Looking at the dark corridor outside the house, she couldn't help but shudder, and the ghost story that Xiaoji had told her before came back to her mind.

Nogi Sonoko hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth.

No, you need courage. You are a brave man, Sonoko!

"Nogi Sonoko's late-night inn exploration is about to begin!"

She clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest. After giving herself a pep talk, she took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness in front of her.

Although she brought her cell phone, in order not to disturb the sleep of the girls in the room, she waited until she was a certain distance away before turning on the flashlight.

The white light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the scene in front of her. Nogi Sonoko looked back and confirmed that there was no old woman behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk.

Fortunately, although the hotel was quite large, the boy’s room was not far from them.

Relying on her memory, the girl groped her way to the door of the familiar room.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Nogi Sonoko bit her lower lip hesitantly.

If I go over and knock on the door to ask questions at this time, and if Brother Xia Zhi and the others are really asleep, it will disturb them, right?

So, I just need to listen, quietly open it and take a look to confirm that Brother Xia Zhi and the others have returned.

Nogi Sonoko thought to herself, walked forward quietly, held the door handle with her little hand, and leaned her little head against the door.

However, at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

"ah?"

With a short exclamation, the door suddenly opened and she lost her support. She fell forward involuntarily and then fell into a warm embrace.

"...?"

Looking at the petite girl who fell into his arms, Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

"…So, what are you doing here?"
