Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Liang."

"... "

Yamada Ryo lowered his head, unable to utter a single word.

...

……

.........

late at night.

Yamada Ryo lay on the sofa with his eyes closed.

However, no matter how tightly you close your eyes, your mood remains lively.

I can't sleep...

With his heart pounding like a drumbeat, Yamada Ryo squinted his eyes.

My cheeks were still burning hot.

"...This is really bad..."

"Yamada Ryo said softly, then got up from the sofa."

After standing up, Yamada Ryo hesitated for a moment.

Then I looked towards Nekoyashiki Haru's bedroom.

"...Are you asleep?"

She asked the question.

There was no response from inside the room.

"...Tsk..."

Yamada Ryo clicked his tongue lightly, then stood still.

The alarm clock clicked away.

Time keeps passing.

It kept flowing on and on.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Yamada Ryo felt her legs getting a little numb, she walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru's room.

In the pitch black, she did not turn on the light.

Even though she knew the other person couldn't see anything, she still didn't turn on the light.

She walked up to Nekoyashiki Haru and looked down at the boy's sleeping face.

"...You told me all that...and you still managed to sleep..."

Yamada Ryo squatted down and poked Nekoyashiki Haru's face with his finger in dissatisfaction.

"...On the firmer side..."

"I'll comment," Yamada Ryo said, then lowered his head.

"You're sleeping so soundly... Why aren't you awake? If you were awake... I could go back to sleep..."

Yamada Ryo raised his head, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy, his golden eyes fixed on Nekoyashiki Haru's face.

"...I'll sleep well from now on...I'll just admit defeat..."

Yamada Ryo made that promise again, then brought his face close to Nekoyashiki Haru's sleeping face.

Yamada Ryo began to subconsciously imagine the scene after Nekoyashiki Haru chose to leave on that day.

She personally pushed away the person she had promised to, remained silent when he asked for help, and kept running away from him, losing sight of herself.

It must be... a sight that makes you unable to laugh.

So... let's always... be friends...

"Yamada Ryo said softly."

"My life...maybe I can't live without you?"

"Thinking about it that way... you really are a terrible guy..."

"...But don't worry...I won't..."

Ryo Yamada wanted to reiterate his previous promise.

But at this moment, I can't say anything at all.

It was as if her vocal cords had betrayed her, causing her to stop breathing.

She opened her mouth again.

"I absolutely will not..."

After that… I couldn’t say anything again…

Yamada Ryo's pupils contracted sharply.

She stood up, trembling.

His shrunken golden pupils also trembled violently.

The boy's peaceful sleeping face remained there.

It makes people feel cute and comfortable.

It makes me want to laugh out loud from the bottom of my heart.

Makes me want…

Yamada Ryo covered his mouth, trembling.

Then he spoke in a soft voice.

"...Sorry...I think I'm going to have to play the fraud..."

Chapter 190 Autumn Equinox

"Nekoyashiki-kun! Thank you so much!"

At the entrance of Nekoyashiki Haru's apartment, a blue-haired noblewoman was bowing and thanking Nekoyashiki Haru with her hands clasped together.

"Xiao Liang must have caused you a lot of trouble these past few days!"

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head and smiled.

"It's just a few days' stay, it's not a big deal."

"Ara la la~"

Kyoka Yamada covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"By the way, Nekoyashiki-kun... Ryo doesn't owe you any money, right? I did ask before, but just to be safe, I'll..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was facing the direction of Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo tilted his head and whistled softly.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up at Yamada Kyoka.

"No, I already paid off the money last time."

"That's good…"

Kyoka Yamada smiled, then grabbed Ryo Yamada.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now."

"it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded gently, then said to Yamada Ryo.

"It's cold, you need to get some rest."

"…Um."

Yamada Ryo nodded slightly.

Then, he followed his mother toward the elevator.

...

In the car.

Yamada Ryo was unusually quiet.

Kyoka Yamada looked at the car, then suddenly spoke.

"Have you thought it through, Xiao Liang, about staying at someone else's house for the next few days?"

"... "

Ryo Yamada looked up at Kyoka Yamada.

Seeing Yamada Ryo in the rearview mirror, Yamada Kyoka continued to ask.

"Because you don't seem to have brought your book..."

"...No need."

"That's what Yamada Ryo replied."

"I've put it at Cat-kun's house."

"...So, Ryo really isn't interested?"

"Hmm, not interested."

Yamada Ryo nodded.
