I loaded the dream game

She suddenly said this.

Summer Solstice:…

He thought carefully and thought that he had never taught her such words.

He couldn't help but fell into thought.

"…Summer Solstice."

After a long time, I heard the girl's hesitant words.

Xia Zhi turned around and saw Shixiang looking at him. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, a subtle sound from afar attracted their attention. The sound was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Xia Zhi, whose attention was drawn, looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a pair of people who seemed to be a couple hugging each other in a pavilion not far below, doing things that couples would do.

"Tsk..."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smack his lips.

Why would anyone come to such a remote place in the middle of the night for a date? Don't you guys sleep at night?

He complained in his mind.

"what are they doing?"

Beside him, Tohka asked curiously.

"Why do you press your lips together?"

Well, how do you explain this?

"That's called kissing. It's a way for boyfriends and girlfriends to express their intimacy." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied.

Just like before, Mio also likes to use this method to express her love for herself...but recently, she seems to have found a more preferred way of expression.

"Yeah……"

Tohka nodded, a thoughtful look on her face.

Kissing is a way to express intimacy...

She remembered what she said before the summer solstice: dating is also a way to enhance relationships.

That is to say...

"Xiazhi, is the purpose of dating me just to kiss me?"

She turned around and looked at the boy, and asked curiously...

"..."

Xia Zhi was also a little curious about how she came to this conclusion.

On the other side, the girl who had asked the question fell into deep thought.

She thought about it, if Xia Zhi did the same thing to herself

If it is the summer solstice

If it’s the summer solstice…

"Woo..."

The girl frowned in distress.

I originally thought that this was something that could be easily agreed to.

But... I feel inexplicably shy. Why is that?

As she thought about it, she took another sip of the milk coffee in her hand.

Then her eyes lit up.

“Summer Solstice, Summer Solstice! This is what it smells like!”

The girl said happily.

Xia Zhi looked at the milk coffee in her hand in confusion.

This cup and the previous one should be the same cup, right? If there is any change, the only thing that seems to have changed is the temperature.

...You don't just like cold milk coffee, do you? He complained in his mind.

"Really! If you don't believe me, try it!" Seeing the doubtful look on his face, the girl said anxiously.

“I didn’t say I didn’t believe it…”

Xia Zhi said this, and the girl, eager to prove herself, had already put the straw to his mouth.

"...Tohka." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and called her.

"Ok?"

"This is also called indirect kissing," he reminded the girl.

"Eh?" Tohka blinked.

Is this considered a kiss?

She thought about it carefully. If that was the case, then it seemed like she had experienced this before when she shared those snacks?

If you think about it this way, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept?

She thought to herself and subconsciously passed the straw forward.

Summer Solstice:…

Stop poking it, or it’ll go into my throat.

At the girl's urging, he opened his mouth and took a small sip.

"Is this the taste?" Tohka's eyes flickered with anticipation of recognition.

To be honest, I can't tell how the summer solstice tastes better than when it's hot, but since the girl said so.

He still nodded in approval.

Seeing this, the girl withdrew her hand and smiled happily.

"Tohka."

Looking at the smile on her face, Xia Zhi asked again:

"Can you continue to date me tomorrow?"

Tohka tilted her head slightly: "Natsuki, won't stop until you achieve your goal?"

"..."

Xia Zhi didn't know how to refute. After all, although his understanding might be different, it seemed that this was indeed what he intended.

“…Just take it as it is.” He responded.

"That's it..."

The girl thought about it and gave her answer.

"No problem."

After all, I have verified it.

"If it's the summer solstice, then it's fine."

.......

Chapter 972 Is this the Nogi family’s ancestral hair color?

The girl stopped by the forest path, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is the first day of the school trip.

Although this place is not remote, the mountain road is still difficult to walk on. Because she is the squad leader, the hardest job of collecting firewood naturally fell on her.

Fortunately, the camp had reserved some firewood, so she didn't need to collect much. Otherwise, it would have been a bit difficult for her to collect enough firewood for an entire class.

It's almost time to go back.

She thought to herself after checking the time on her watch.

"Ruo~Ye~"

The voice behind her brought the girl back to her senses quickly.

As I turned my head, the shutter sounded.

"Hmm, a beautiful girl working hard and sweating profusely... Wakaba's secret portrait collection has been enriched again~"

Kamisato Hinata, who was both her classmate and her friend since childhood, said this happily while holding up her cell phone.

What kind of weird collection of portraits is that?

Ruoye thought about it, looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Because I'm a little worried about you, Ruoye."

Hinata put his phone away and replied.

"There might be an earthquake, so it's better not to be alone."

"Is there already an earthquake warning?" Ruoye looked puzzled.

"No, but isn't it always like this recently? Earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis and the like without warning."

That's right.

In addition, this is a mountainous area, so it would be very dangerous if an earthquake occurred.

Ruoye was thinking and was about to take the collected firewood back to the camp with Hinata, when he caught a glimpse of two unfamiliar figures appearing at the end of the trail not far away.

A man and a woman, they look like a couple.

Are you here for tourism?

A hint of doubt appeared in Ruoye's eyes.

It’s not surprising. The reason why they chose this place as the location for their school trip is because the cultural landscape here is suitable for travel.

While she was thinking this, a strange boy's voice came to her ears.

"Hello, can I ask if there is any place to rest nearby?" The boy came up to them and asked them politely.

"Eh? But Xiazhi, I don't want to rest yet."

"I know, but it's almost lunch time..."

"Let's go and rest!" said the black-haired girl excitedly.

He looks very hungry.

Ruoye thought about it, recalled for a moment and replied: "Not far to the right of this road, there is an open space for tourists to rest and camp. If you continue this road, there is also a shrine..."

"...There's a convenience store about a mile from the shrine."

Hinata on the side added.

"Really? Thank you so much." The young man named Xia Zhi said gratefully.

"Thank you." The black-haired girl at the side also thanked solemnly.

Ruoye nodded and said you're welcome.

The black-haired girl turned around and happily took the boy's arm: "Let's go, Xiazhi, lunch, lunch~ date, date~"

I've said it before, don't equate dating with eating.

Xia Zhi thought helplessly, his eyes fell on the girl's long light golden hair in front of him, and he paused slightly.

"What's wrong?" Ruoye asked puzzledly, noticing his gaze.

"……nothing."

Xia Zhi shook his head and replied:
