I loaded the dream game

I'm not trying to comfort the girl. Even if we put aside the fact that she gradually began to dare to express herself, the fact that she was able to quickly control her emotions and strength just now shows that she is different from the past.

"You've grown a lot, Yoshino."

Shiono breathed a sigh of relief and a somewhat happy smile appeared on her face.

"It was Mr. Xia Zhi who taught me a lot of things."

The girl suddenly changed the subject and said

"I heard that in addition to being born with personality, a person's personality can also be influenced by the environment."

"So... I felt happy after hearing Mr. Xia Zhi's answer just now."

She lowered her head, looked at Yoshino in her arms, and said softly

"Because of Yoshina's company, I am who I was in the past..."

"And similarly, I have also been changed a lot by Mr. Xia Zhi... Because of my encounter with you, I am who I am now."

Knowing this really made her very happy.

"You have always protected me, accompanied me and supported me... and taught me a lot."

How to be brave, how to face your own power, how to get along with others, and... how to love someone

I am really different from before.

Shishino thought.

She recalled the boy's repeated protection of her and his help to her since they met... He really had been accompanying and protecting her on behalf of Yoshina... Just as he had promised...

However, after the previous date and the time they spent together, Yoshino also knew

Mr. Xiazhi did not replace Yoshina... Although they are both his heroes, to him... they are different...

Unlike Yoshina, he didn't let herself rely on him completely for everything and protect herself completely behind him... Instead, he told herself, "Don't worry, I'm by your side." He was the first person who said to her, "You can do it."

To Yoshino, Yoshina is the most important friend and family member, and the boy is...

"..."

Yoshino put the puppet on her hand and pointed it towards the summer solstice.

"Yoshina, let me introduce you..."

She looked at the "Yoshina" in her hand and said softly as if introducing it.

"He is Xia Zhi... a very important person to me."

The puppet responded with silence, just as expected.

The girl didn't care... Even so, she still wanted to introduce another person who was equally important to her to her important friend.

Formal, in your own words

"At the same time, he is also my hero..."

More than that

Yoshino 810 took a deep breath and continued with a smile.

"…He's also my favorite person."

Hearing this unexpected confession, Xia Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't quite understand why the girl suddenly mustered up the courage and had such a big change.

"Mr. Xia Zhi said that if you keep standing still, you won't be able to grow... I don't want to disappoint Yoshina."

Facing the boy's gaze, Yoshino replied:

I don't want to disappoint you...

She thought to herself, her voice lowered slightly.

“But, I wonder if Yoshina heard it…”

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the girl's soft-voiced head with long hair and comforted her, "It will hear it."

Yoshino shook her head: "It doesn't matter if you didn't hear it."

She lowered her head and looked at Shionai in her hands. "Next time, when Shionai wakes up, I'll introduce her again."

Now she has more important things to do.

"One more step..." she whispered.

Although I confessed, I was still too shy to take the final step.

But it doesn't matter, Mr. Xia Zhi also said that I can rely on him.

and so……

Her cheeks flushed, she looked up at the boy and asked shyly:

"Mr. Xia Zhi, can you help me?"

.......

Chapter 1,297 Summer Solstice: Is this too direct?

Someone once said that girls are made up of sugar, spice, and some beautiful things.

Xia Zhi deeply agrees with this.

However, the beautiful things among them should not be fixed. Just like there are differences between people, every girl is different and should have her own beauty, right?

Walking on the quiet path at night, Xia Zhi thought to himself, recalling the time when he sent Yoshino home, when the girl shyly waved goodbye to him, turned around and trotted into the house.

The traffic light at the intersection turned green, he stopped, took out his phone and started playing with it nonchalantly, but in his heart he was still savoring the sweet and soft feeling he had before.

If you ask what Yoshino tastes like... it's sweet and sticky like cream, probably because she just drank a drink, and it also has a unique fresh vanilla flavor. Coupled with the girl's special elf physique, it's warm and soft but gives people a hint of coolness, just like tasting sweet and delicious ice cream.

But I didn't expect that Yoshino, who is usually shy and timid, would choose the French style right from the start.

Considering that she doesn't usually come into contact with this kind of knowledge...could it be that she was led astray by knowledge she learned from some strange place?

Thinking of the comics on his bookshelf, Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into silence.

Ah this...

I'd better find time to tidy it up a bit later, so that my child won't learn bad habits after being with me for a few days.

...But I probably don't have the qualifications to say such things right now.

Recalling the girl's cute look with a blushing face and slight breathing, Xia Zhi felt a little regretful that he didn't take a photo to record it.

However, considering Yoshino's thin skin, it took a lot of courage for her to do that at the time. If she really did that, she would probably be even more embarrassed.

"Don't worry"

As he was feeling regretful, a line of cute words appeared on the screen that was different from the default font of the system.

"Maria has already recorded the whole process~"

By the way, I don’t have this font installed, right?

Looking at the words on the screen, Xia Zhi seemed to be able to see the girl blinking and asking for credit.

But... there's no need to record everything.

He complained in his heart, and after noticing that the traffic light opposite had turned green, he put away his phone, continued along the familiar road, and soon arrived at the familiar school gate.

There is no habit of evening self-study in this country. In addition, it is the holiday season now, so the bustling city on weekdays seems particularly quiet at this moment.

Under the cool moonlight, the teaching building not far away was shrouded in a light white veil. The campus, which was always extremely noisy and full of the sounds of reading and laughter, was now quiet, giving people a strong sense of contrast and an inexplicable illusion of loneliness.

At the closed school gate, there stood a girl with short silver hair, seemingly waiting for someone.

The girl under the moonlight was covered with a faint halo. The summer night breeze brought a hint of coolness, causing her hair to sway gently. Against the backdrop of her white dress, her delicate doll-like face added a touch of dreamy and mysterious color.

Xia Zhi thought about it, took out a coat from his personal universe, walked up to her and put it on her.

"…〃¨ ..."

Noticing the extra coat on her body, the distracted girl was slightly stunned. She looked up and saw a familiar face.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xia Zhi apologized to her.

He was a little surprised. He thought that he would have enough time to send Yoshino back and come here.

...Did she take a taxi here immediately after receiving the text message?

Recalling that he had almost just sent the text message when he received the reply "OK, I got it", Xia Zhi felt that this was not impossible.

"It's okay, I just arrived."

Origami shook her head and replied.

This line sounds familiar... I finally heard someone say this to me.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, and when he came to his senses, he found that the girl was holding the edge of her coat tightly with both hands, as if she felt a little cold.

But, what are you doing when you bury your nose in and take a deep breath?

".‖ So, at least wear an extra coat when you go out at night, right?"

"Well, I'll remember that next time."

Origami looked up as if nothing had happened, without loosening her hands from holding onto the edge of her coat. After thinking for a moment, she continued:

"Still wear this one."

Are you planning to take this for yourself?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

On the other side, without continuing the topic, Origami looked at Xia Zhi and blinked. His deep blue eyes were filled with a look of anticipation, and he asked:

"So, let's get started, shall we?"

So straight to the point? It's Origami after all.

However, this straightforward character is a good thing in this situation. After all, there are only less than ten hours left until dawn, and this is all thanks to the hard "cooperation" of Maria and Yoshino... It seems that we really need to hurry up.

Summer Solstice Thoughts

Ten minutes later...

"..."

Standing at the door of the hotel with bright neon lights flashing, looking at the sign that read "Lovers Hotel", he couldn't help but fall into silence.

this……

Is it a bit too straight to the point?

.......

Chapter 1298 Why can't it be all of them?

"……pity."

Following the young man on the deserted path, the silver-haired girl showed a slightly regretful look.

"Be a little more careful. You are a girl, right?"

Xia Zhi looked at her helplessly and replied.

Who would be so eager to lure someone to a hotel right from the start of a date? If they were swapped, you'd probably think it was some eager, perverted old man.

"It's almost ten o'clock now."

The girl said seriously, "According to the normal schedule, it's time to go to bed."

For those who stay up late, 10 o'clock is just the beginning of the night life. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

And...when you say sleeping, do you mean normal sleeping?

"Xia Zhi, don't you have physical desire for girls?" She tilted her head slightly.

Is this question a bit sensitive?

Xia Zhi didn't know how to answer for a while

If you ask if there is, of course there is, but he wouldn't be so indiscriminate as to think about doing that kind of thing all day long, right?
