Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ichi Nijika clutched her heart.

The drumming got louder and louder…

"what…"

She slowly lowered her hand.

Actually, I understood back then...

I understand…

...

……

.........

Tick-tock...tick-tock...tick-tock...

Suddenly, Ichiki Nigatsu hugged Nekoyashiki Haru and started crying.

On the park slide, Ichiki Nijika's hands slowly tightened.

"actually…"

Itachi Hongxia rubbed Nekaya Shikiharu's neck.

"Actually... my apology is way too late, isn't it?"

Chapter 261 I Love You (Return)

"Actually... my apology is way too late, isn't it?"

Ichi Niji Natsumi smiled and asked Nekoyashiki Haru, her eyes still moist.

Anger and resentment are both my complaints about my past self...

"!"

Nekoyashiki Haru immediately hugged Ichichi Nijika tightly, as if afraid the girl would escape at this moment.

Click click click…

"Ah...it's a little uncomfortable to be hugged like this...but I quite like it..."

Ichi Nijika chuckled softly.

"Don't worry... I just suddenly realized some things. I won't run away, I will never run away in this lifetime."

Nijika lowered her head, and Nekoyashiki Haru felt the weight on her shoulders.

"I just suddenly realized... a belated apology can no longer undo some things from the past... and I think I understand a little better why the kitten chose to leave..."

"...No..."

Nekoyashiki Haru's voice trembled slightly.

"I just... simply want to leave."

"Hmm... I think so too, but..."

Ichi Niji Natsumi murmured softly.

"That day... I think I... completely neglected the kitten..."

"... "

"Because of what I said, the kitten was very sad... I didn't go to see you either, you must be... feeling very upset, right?"

"... "

"Although you said before that you never cared... I now believe that was a lie..."

"...I'm not..."

"Don't deny it, it's okay..."

Nijika Ichiji gently stroked Haru Nekoyashiki's back.

"!"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

"Because my apology came too late... Even if I apologize now, the kitten's past insecurity... the sense of belonging that disappeared because we isolated it... can no longer be made up for."

"The childish willfulness, before it could be properly expressed, has already turned into adulthood."

"... "

"I did regret it before, and I thought, if I had apologized to you in time, would you not have left?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki bit her lower lip.

She held Ichiji Nijika's hand even tighter.

"Ah...back then...I thought...even if I apologized...you would still leave..."

"... "

"But...actually...you're not leaving, are you?"

Ijichi Nijika's tears stopped flowing.

She really figured it out.

Many things are like that.

"…I…"

Nekoyashiki Haru slowly loosened her grip.

"I knew it... you let go..."

"Ichi Nijika smiled."

"...It's too tight, you'll feel uncomfortable..."

Nekoyashiki Haru said in a dull voice.

"No... I like the feeling of being held tight by you like that."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru's arm began to exert force once again.

Click click...

"what…"

Ichi Nijika's pupils trembled slightly.

"I told you so... kitten..."

Ichi Nijika revealed a victor's smile.

"The kitten also wants to... be with us, right? Not 'you,' but 'us.'"

Ichi Niji Natsu narrowed her eyes.

"So, you're actually jealous...right?"

"...Can this feeling be summed up as jealousy?"

Nekoyashiki Haru seems a little dissatisfied.

"That's roughly the idea... right?"

Ijichi Nijika moved her head off Nekoyashiki Haru's shoulder and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru's face.

"...You cried too..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru did not answer.

Ichi Nijika blinked.

"...I always thought that you didn't like me as much as I liked you back then, that the kitten only saw me as a friend, and that my feelings for the kitten...were definitely stronger than the kitten's friendship with me...But something's not right...The kitten also liked me a lot...liked me a lot, which is why I felt distant without realizing it, right? I ignored the kitten's feelings, I was only looking at myself, I plunged into sadness and abandoned you in the corner, I didn't apologize in time, I didn't cry and grab you to stop you from leaving...Thinking about it now, I was so stupid..."

Nijika Ichiji tightly gripped Nekoyashiki Haru's hand.

"So now there's only one way..."

"... "

"It's cost me my whole life."

Nijika Ichichi cupped Nekoyashiki Haru's head in her hands.

"...It's not that I like you..."

Nijika tilted her head and chuckled softly.

"It is love."

"... "

"Kitten, I love you... Waaah!"

Before Ichi Nijika could finish speaking, Nekoyashiki Haru cupped her face in his hands.

The next moment, a bridge was built between the two.

Ichi Niji's red pupils were in disarray.

Wait...wait a minute? This shouldn't be my initiative...

The next moment, Ichiji Nijika's eyes narrowed sharply.

The feeling emanating from the bridge between the two was something Ichiji Nijika had never experienced before…

It was like a silent fire…

The first sensation spreading from that bridge to my entire body was a soft touch, followed by the ticklish feeling of feathers brushing against my heart. Then, a warm current quietly seeped into my bloodstream, coursing through my body.

Their breathing gradually became rapid, and they could only draw oxygen from each other. Their mingled breaths carried a faint sweetness and a slight dizziness, just like... drinking alcohol...
