My throat has become dry again and my voice is definitely hoarse;

My heart was beating violently, my palms were hot and I felt like I was going to sweat;

Nervous, worried, even a little scared...

But precisely because of this, I have to speak up and take big steps forward, so that she can hear my heartbeat and feel the warmth of my palms.

These are all proofs of loving her and wanting to get her.

"Kiyono-san."

Qingye Rin stopped, turned around, tilted her slender neck, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Hear the sound of wind blowing through the grassland.

At this time, Toru Watanabe decided to do what he really wanted to do.

The November sky stretched out above Watanabe Toru's head, and there were only him and Kiyono Rin in the Sendai Plain covered with golden silver grass.

It was a November morning that was so clear that it was almost transparent.

Chapter 357: Qingye-san, I like you.

"Kiyono-san."

"what happened?"

"I like you."

Toru Watanabe remembers the scene of that day very clearly.

The ears of silvergrass swayed slowly in the autumn breeze of November, and the thin clouds lingered in the azure sky.

The white air exhaled seemed to be sucked away by the rising sun.

Everything is filled with the rich flavor of autumn, presenting an almost transparent world.

Standing among the silver grass, Qingye Rin is as clear and beautiful as the autumn day.

"I know." said Qingye Rin.

"I like you." Watanabe Toru repeated again.

"Why are you..." She seemed to understand something and didn't continue.

The wind gently blew her hair, and her eyes under her long eyelashes looked quietly at Toru Watanabe.

Just by looking into Kiyono Rin's eyes, Watanabe Toru's aura was completely taken away.

The chirping of birds in the distant mixed woods seemed to come from the farthest world.

"I like you and want to be with you."

"How come you're together?" Kiyono Rin stared at Watanabe Toru calmly.

"You, me, Miki, Mai-senpai, and Aona-sensei," Toru Watanabe answered.

"Do you think this is reasonable?"

"unreasonable."

"Is it normal?"

"unusual."

"Would I be willing?"

"I don't want to."

Qingye Rin stopped talking, her clear and beautiful eyes flickered with the sadness of falling in love with someone.

"I like you."

Watanabe Toru had no other choice but to be completely and thoroughly honest with all his feelings.

"I've been thinking about you a lot lately," he said. "You're all over my mind. Sometimes I'm very happy, and sometimes I'm so sad that I want to cry. My thoughts are confused, but the only thing that's clear is that I love you and I can't lose you."

Qingye Rin's eyes turned toward the silver grass on the roadside.

Once a person has the happiness he wants to pursue, he will also have nights when he wants to cry.

"I like you." Toru Watanabe once again said the only reason that kept him standing here.

"I like you too."

Kiyono Rin withdrew her gaze from the silver grass and looked at Watanabe Toru's face.

There were only two meters between them, but she felt the vastness of the river of destiny.

She was very clear and understood the responsibility that Watanabe Toru shouldered, a responsibility as heavy as the highest mountain in the island nation - Mount Fuji.

Not only is it heavy, but the responsibility is as reasonable and logical as all rivers flowing into the sea and the sun setting in the west. It must be shouldered.

Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono and felt her gentle and clear love.

How much Kiyono Rin loves Watanabe Toru, just as how much Watanabe Toru loves Kiyono Rin.

Now, Toru Watanabe can be sure:

When he tossed and turned, couldn't sleep because of missing her, and felt sad and painful that they couldn't be together, she did the same.

"Kiyono-san, I like you."

Kiyono Rin looked at Watanabe Toru without saying a word.

"I like you, so much so that no matter what kind of person I am, honest or dishonest, loyal or fickle, I must let you be with me."

"I thought so too, that's why I wanted to snatch you away from those three people." Qingye Rin stared into the distance, the sky was vast and boundless.

"Is there anything else to say?" she asked with her back to Watanabe Toru.

These alone were not enough to convince her.

"Watanabe-san, you must have another way. No matter if it's a lie or not, please give me a reason to be with you."

"Kiyono-san." Watanabe Toru's voice was filled with an unconcealable loneliness.

It was the first time that Kiyono Rin heard Watanabe Toru, who usually spoke with a smile, speak in such a sad tone.

Her heart began to tremble, and she couldn't help closing her eyes, afraid that she would shed tears.

"I need you." Watanabe Toru's voice continued.

"I always thought that I was the one who led you out of loneliness and the pillar that supported you to stick to your ideals."

"But I'm not." Watanabe Toru closed his eyes and his throat began to feel sore.

"You don't need me at all. You can live well on your own. Loneliness is nothing to you. No one can shake your faith."

Although Qingye Rin has a fragile body, it carries a girl's heart that is so unique that it is powerful enough to reach the farthest reaches of the universe.

“It’s me who is afraid of loneliness, and it’s also me who needs support.”

"It's not that you need me, it's that I need you."

"Kiyono-san, I like you."

Qingye Rin turned around and opened her eyes.

"Did I ask you not to be with me?" Her voice was calm, and crystal tears slid down her beautiful cheeks that showed just a little sadness.

Watanabe Toru was so sad that he could not control himself. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"I know." After a long time, he finally got used to the pain. "I know it's all my fault. There is no reason for you to be with me, but..."

Watanabe Toru choked up again.

"All I can do now is plead with you."

"I beg you to forget all my faults for now. Even if you care about them in your heart, please wait until we are together before you blame me as much as you want."

"Kiyono-san, I like you."

"I really want to... really want to... really want to be with you."

"Toru Watanabe wants to be with you."

"Kiyono-san, I like you."

"Without you, my life is impossible."

"Kiyono-san, I like you."

Rin Kiyono turned around and faced away from Toru Watanabe. There was no sound, only her shoulders were shaking.

Looking up at the clouds in the sky, in the silver grass wilderness of Sengokuhara, Toru Watanabe quietly waited for Kiyono Rin's answer.

Under the high dome, he felt as transparent as water and as light as a feather.

Without Kiyono Rin, Watanabe Toru is indeed not going to be able to do it.

Finally, Qingye Rin calmed down and turned around again. Even though she was facing the light, her eyes were still sparkling with moisture.

"Okay." she said.

The sunlight, which gradually became hotter, shone on Watanabe Toru's face.

The wind blew over from Qingye Rin's direction, and I could smell her fragrance and the scent of Miscanthus.

"I want to confirm..." Watanabe Toru made a dry sound in his throat. He couldn't help swallowing and clearing his throat.

"What did you say?" he asked cautiously.

"I said," Qing Ye Lin took a deep breath, "Okay."

"We... are together?" Watanabe Toru's voice gradually became louder.

Qingye Rin seemed to be cold and shy, so she hugged her arms and nodded with a "hmm".

Toru Watanabe stared at her blankly, frozen at that moment, without blinking.

Before Qingye Rin could react, he turned around and ran.

Under the gaze of Qingye Rin, he ran along the straight path in the reeds, shouting along the way, scaring the cheerful wild birds in the early morning into flight.

In the end, he somersaulted several times.

When he was almost out of sight, he ran back.

He stopped in front of her, his face full of enthusiasm and excitement, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

Looking at Watanabe Toru like this, Kiyono Rin felt warm in her heart and she gently adjusted her bangs shyly.

"Idiot," she whispered.

"Idiot, I'm an idiot!" Watanabe Toru said happily, "You can call me whatever you want!"

"Because as long as you can hear my ethereal voice like the sound of nature, you will feel comfortable in your heart?" Qingye Rin put down his hand and said with a relaxed smile.

"When I hear your ethereal voice like the sound of nature, I feel very comfortable!" Watanabe Toru repeated with a smile.

Qingye Rin glanced at him, but couldn't help turning her eyes away: "You are too happy."

"I'm so happy that my confession was successful!" Watanabe Toru couldn't help but raise his arms and shout again, "Kiyono Rin is mine——!"

"Kiyono Rin, it's mine!"

The entire Sengokuhara was filled with his voice, the silver grass was celebrating for him, and the sun was shining brightly.

Qingye Rin felt helpless and amused. Even though it was very noisy, she was very happy to hear him and looked at him tenderly.

Watanabe Toru vented his inner excitement a little and looked at her: "Seino-san."

"Ask." Qingye Rin immediately knew why he called her.

"Did you agree to this because of my honesty?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.

"half."

"Where's the other half?"

"You said you liked me many times."

"I like you, Kiyono-san."

"…I like you too, Watanabe-san."
