No, Aine, when you were pretending to be angry, could you let go of my hand first? Who would quarrel while holding hands?

And when Qing thought of Aine being upset but still unwilling to let go of his hand, Aine's sour face suddenly became much cuter... No, it was cuter than before.

Qing tried to pull his hand out of Aine's grip, but failed. Aine held Qing's hand even tighter, and the expression on Aine's face became even angrier. It seemed that Aine had another reason to be angry...

No, Aine, can you not be so cute! The way you are being upset is just like you are acting like a spoiled child!

Faced with such delicious Aiyin, Qing might be able to force himself to look away and restrain his inner impulse under normal circumstances. However, the current situation is that even if Qing wants to look away, the touch from his hand continues to arouse Qing's heart.

So, this time, Qing couldn't hold back. She also held Ain's hand tightly, then turned to Ain and pulled her towards her. Ain didn't expect Qing to suddenly pull her hard, and she stumbled and fell towards Qing. Qing quickly supported Ain with her other hand, but Ain still fell into Qing's arms due to inertia.

The hearts of the two girls were placed on each other's bodies without any obstacles, and they could clearly feel each other's heartbeats. This might be an advantage that belonged only to the two of them.

The girl realized what position they were in and could no longer tell whose heartbeat was accelerating, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Aiyin raised her head tremblingly. She no longer had any anger at this moment. She wanted to look but didn't dare to. She carefully raised her eyes to Qing's face. Under the blue-based light in the aquarium, the color on the girl's cheeks seemed brighter than her hair.

It was a pity that Aine's grey eyes were already stained with a bit of intoxication and confusion and no longer clear, and Qing could not see through Aine's eyes that his expression was as delicious as Aine's. Otherwise, Qing would have woken up instantly and shouted "It wasn't me just now".

But Qing's expression at this time was only seen by Aine. So both of them couldn't wake up from this inappropriate ambiguous atmosphere. And what Qing said at this time was: "Aine, stop it. If you continue like this, I will be unable to resist and want to punish you."

If it's this delicious again, I won't be able to resist trying you.

Aine didn’t know if she understood what Ao meant, her eyes collided fiercely with Ao’s, the chests that were close to each other beat more and more fiercely, and she held the other’s hand tighter.

"I want to see how you are going to punish me."

There was no sign of concession from Aine's mouth, but her eyes were more eager than challenging.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

When Qing said this, she felt her throat was extremely dry. She didn't even know how she finished saying this sentence, and the sound she made didn't sound like her voice.

Aiyin did not respond to Qing's question, but just stared at Qing in silence.

At this moment, there was a pair of large cutlass fish that was originally in front of the two of them, but now in the aquarium behind them. They just happened to pass by them. Under the light, their shadows also passed by the faces of Aiqing and the others.

When the azure light shone on their faces again, Qing found that Aine's eyes, which were originally staring at him, had closed, but she still held her head high.

Chapter 78 Love, interruption, and companionship.

Liu Zeqing once heard such a saying: Hesitation will lead to failure.

Qing is not a fool, how could she not know the meaning of Aiyin's action? Even if Aiyin really didn't mean that, since she made such a gesture of waiting to be killed, Qing couldn't be blamed for punishing her severely.

Even so, Qing still hesitated. She had never prepared herself for a kiss with Aine, and she didn't even know what kind of feelings Aine had for her, so she restrained herself like this.

If she really kissed him, would that mean that her relationship with Aine would also change?

If it really develops in that direction, what position should I be in and what responsibilities should I shoulder?

Qing has never developed a romantic relationship with anyone, let alone someone she is a girl.

She had never even faced up to the feelings between herself and Aine. She had always been afraid and subconsciously did not dare to move in that direction. She deceived herself by telling herself that she and Aine were just good friends.

However, Yanagisawa Ao undoubtedly likes Chihaya Aine. It's not just the kind of love that a character fan has for an anime character, it's the kind of love that wants to be with the other person forever. After all, her heart has never beat faster for a girl like this before.

Ain is as hot and dazzling as the bright morning sun, and Qing has no reason not to like Ain. But Ain has all kinds of reasons to dislike herself. This is the inferiority complex of a young girl who is nearly thirty years old and still stubbornly pursues romance after going through vicissitudes of life.

Maybe, Aiyin doesn't understand anything now. Maybe, Aiyin can't figure out her feelings for herself. Maybe, they will regret it.

Perhaps, before this impulsive kiss, they need to re-examine their feelings for each other...

However, is this really possible? As the saying goes, the arrow has to be shot once it is on the string. Qing looked at Aine's slightly moist lips. In this low-contrast environment, he could still see a touch of bright color. It was obvious that Aine had already applied lipstick before going out.

In contrast, Qing only felt that her lips were terribly dry, which reduced her courage to kiss Aine. She licked her lips subconsciously, and then thought distressedly, would Aine mind if she moistened her lips with saliva?

It shouldn't matter, right? Aine has already closed her eyes anyway... And if I back off now, Aine will probably feel disappointed and think that I don't like her, right? That would be even worse.

Qing tried hard to convince himself to be true to his inner desires. Reason, oh reason, I want to turn my back on others and surrender with courtesy!

The touch from her hand completely shattered Qing's remaining rationality. Ain forcefully aligned Qing's hands little by little and then squeezed her fingers into Qing's fingers one by one. The hands that were originally intertwined had now turned into an interlocking shape; and Ain's other hand tightly held Qing's arm, and by the way, she rested her arm on the crook of Qing's arm.

She could feel Aiyin's increasingly tight grip on her fingers and arms, as if urging her and provoking Qing to punish this wayward woman quickly.

Unable to bear it any longer, Qingye grasped Aine's hands and shoulders even tighter, responding silently to Aine who had her eyes closed, showing her determination and telling her, I'm coming.

As if she felt Qing's response, Ain's lips moved restlessly a few times, and her two cherry lips adjusted their position many times within one second. It was obvious that Ain had no experience in kissing, and could only nervously rely on the pure feeling to try to make Qing's kiss more comfortable.

At the same time, her eyelids kept twitching, as if she couldn't help but open her eyes to explore the outside world. Maybe she wanted to check whether she was ready, or maybe she wanted to confirm whether the other party really wanted to respond to her feelings, and wanted to know when the other party would merge with her. Her long eyelashes trembled, teasing Qing's mood while also telling the girl's nervousness and anxiety.

Qing held Ain's body even tighter, and at the same time, he slowly moved his face closer to Ain. Ain felt the force coming from her shoulders and fingers, and it even hurt her a little, but she didn't cry out in pain, she just breathed harder and frowned slightly.

They were getting closer and were about to touch each other. Qing slowly closed his eyes, focusing on the feeling of being together with the one he loved, and his heart was filled with anticipation for the historic moment.

Although Aiyin's world was now dark, the lack of vision made her more focused on touch and hearing. It seemed that even the pain from her body could be transformed into a different kind of emotion. She could feel Qing's hot and aggressive love through her clothes. She couldn't tell whether the heat on her face was caused by her shyness or because Qing was getting closer to her.

In addition to this, she could hear Qing's breathing becoming more and more rapid as he got closer, but at some point the heavy breathing suddenly disappeared, and Aine couldn't help but hold her breath following Qing's breathing rhythm.

"Xiaoqing? Xiao Aine? What are you doing?"

However, just when the two were about to kiss, a timid voice shattered the originally ambiguous atmosphere that was gradually turning into youthfulness and romance.

Ai Qing and her partner closed their eyes and focused their attention on their other senses. Although they focused most of their attention on feeling each other, they could still clearly hear the sounds from the outside world, even if the sounds were not loud.

Instantly, Qing and Aine opened their eyes at the same time, and saw each other's face close to them. Their pupils were dilated due to the stimulation, and in order to see the outside world clearly, both of them drew their heads back at the same time. Then Qing saw Aine's face, which was as bright and beautiful as peach blossoms, lowered shyly, and she realized what she had just done.

After regaining her senses, Qing should have been thankful that she did not kiss Aine on impulse. After all, she was not ready to take the relationship to the next step with Aine, and such a deep relationship with Aine was not part of her future plans, so maintaining a stable relationship with Aine for the time being was the best option.

However, after the impulse faded, a strong sense of loss surged into Qing's heart. If he had not hesitated just now, would he have been able to taste Aine's taste? What would it feel like to kiss? What would Aine's reaction be after the kiss?

Qing forced herself to ignore those useless thoughts and the feeling of loss in her heart, and turned to look at the place where the person who disturbed them was. She saw a gray-haired girl standing right between Qing and Aine, dividing the positions of the two symmetrically like a cutting line. She clenched one hand into a fist and placed it on her chest, as if to cheer herself up for speaking, and the expression on her face was cautious and revealed a bit of curiosity.

"lamp?"

Qing called out the girl's name.

Ain woke up from her trance when she heard the familiar name. She turned to look at Deng. When she saw Deng's inquiring gaze sweep over her and Qing's interlocked hands, she subconsciously withdrew her hand in a hurry. This time Qing did not hold Ain's hand tightly, and Ain successfully pulled back her hand and kept a distance from Qing.

However, when the two hands, which had been held together for a long time by chance, separated, Aine suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and loss in her heart. She even thought that it would be better if Qing could hold her hand tightly like before, but it was obviously a willful thought, because she was the one who wanted to pull her hand back.

Thinking of this, Aiyin couldn't help but start to imagine what would happen if the light didn't disturb her and Qing. Just the feeling she had just now, just leaning on Qing's arms, feeling his body temperature, the strength of his grip, the nervous yet intoxicated look... Although Aiyin has never lacked the watering of love, she has never felt such an intoxicated love, with restraint in the enthusiasm, and madness in the sincerity, this is Qing's love for her.

Yes, Qing truly and sincerely loves Aine, and just understanding this is enough to make Aine ecstatic... But, if she could continue that unfinished kiss, she would definitely be able to experience this kind of love in a more all-round and immersive way, right?

Aine shook her head and put away her chaotic thoughts. While adjusting her mood, she smiled and greeted Deng with the redness on her face that had not yet faded away, “It’s Deng Deng, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect that we would meet here.”

Although they felt sorry that Deng's arrival had interrupted their passionate kiss, neither Qing nor Aine intended to blame Deng.

Needless to say, Qing, Deng's arrival helped her regain her rationality, which helped her maintain her relationship with Aine, and also confirmed Aine's feelings. So in Qing's subjective understanding, Deng came at the right time.

Aiyin was already satisfied after confirming that Qing liked her. As long as Qing continued to like her, this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, so there was no rush. And she could prepare well for the next time, and even take the initiative, which would surely surprise Qing.

Qing and Aine both knew that Deng didn't mean to destroy their intimacy, so they wouldn't blame Deng. Look at Deng's innocent and curious eyes, she's just a child who's too naive, and she doesn't have any ulterior motives. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime, so how could they blame Deng?

"Good morning. Aren't Aoki and Aine going to buy musical instruments today? Why are you at the aquarium?"

Deng asked curiously.

Since it was Qing who came to the aquarium, Qing naturally took the question thrown by Deng and answered: "Because it doesn't take long to buy musical instruments, since we are already here, why not just take a look around first."

If anyone else had asked this question, Qing would not have told the truth so honestly, because telling the truth would easily make people think that she and Aine were dating, but Deng didn't care, because Deng didn't understand this.

"So... do Ao-chan and Aine-chan like visiting aquariums?"

Deng asked excitedly. As a person who often visits aquariums, Deng still hopes to find someone who shares the same interests, especially if this person is a good friend of his.

Aiyin laughed and replied, "If I have to say whether I like it or not, I think I like it."

Qing's answer was much more direct: "Generally speaking."

"is that so……"

Deng didn't hear the answer he wanted and felt a little disappointed. He couldn't help but wonder if the question he asked also troubled Aiqing and the others. He didn't know how to continue the conversation.

When Aine saw Deng's look, she looked at Qing speechlessly, accusing Qing with her eyes why he didn't say something polite, but Qing remained unmoved. Aine didn't really mean to blame Qing, she knew that Qing's personality was such that he would be outspoken.

So Aine came forward and asked, "Deng Deng, do you come to the aquarium often? You seem to like marine life very much."

Aine naturally continued the topic. In fact, Aine didn't know whether Deng would come to the aquarium often, so when she asked, she gave Deng a lot of room to answer, including the subsequent explanation.

Deng Jianing Aine was still willing to continue chatting with her about the aquarium, and she breathed a sigh of relief, then she perked up and nodded seriously, saying: "There are many kinds of marine life here... and I think many of them are very cute."

Aiyin nodded, her emotional value maxed out, and agreed: "That's true. I saw that there are many cute marine creatures on the Band-Aids you collected, Deng Deng."

"Does Aine find it cute too? There are a lot of marine life related products in the aquarium. I also bought a lot of my band-aids here... Do you want to go and have a look?"

When talking about the areas he was familiar with, Deng's speech became much smoother and faster, and he couldn't wait to introduce them to Aiyin.

"Really? So you bought it here. What do you think, Qingqing?"

Aiyin did not forget that she was here to accompany Qing today, so it was impossible for her to go with Deng just because Deng invited her. After all, it was clearly a date for two people, so why would she just add someone else in?

Qing didn't really care about the threesome, after all, she and Aine hadn't confirmed their relationship, and they were just friends at the moment, so it would be a bit strange to say that they wanted to enjoy their time alone under such a status. And Qing didn't really know how to take Aine to an interesting aquarium, as the last time she went to an aquarium was more than a decade ago.

But even if he thought so, there was no way Ao would say in front of Aine that he could let Deng join in. It was a matter of attitude, and even if Aine didn't really care about it, Ao couldn't do that.

So Qing cunningly threw the question back to Aine and said, "It's up to Aine to decide. I'll listen to you."

Since Qing said it so well, Aine didn't care that Qing didn't actually answer the question directly. She just nodded and said to Deng: "Then take us to see it."

Chapter 79 Dolphin, Redemption, Lyrics.

Liu Zeqing is not a so-called environmentalist, but she does not watch animal performances. This may be due to her love and empathy for protecting animals, but more because she never thinks animal performances are so exciting that she must watch them. If she can watch them or not, she simply doesn't watch them.

Especially since Qing is currently in Japan, and the show she wants to watch is a dolphin show, having watched "The Cove", she can't let herself go to watch the dolphin show with ease.

So Qing firmly rejected the staff's recommendation to go watch the dolphin show. This was not out of so-called love, but an act made out of the conscience of an informed person.

Of course, if Aine told her that her cat could perform backflips she would still be willing to go and see it, after all, there was no admission fee... Speaking of which, could Lenna do backflips?

Aiyin was very surprised that Qing would be so resolute in his attitude towards such a thing. She thought Qing would show an indifferent attitude towards entertainment that she was not interested in, but she didn't expect that he would be so resolute in this matter.

"Well, let's continue to the souvenir shop."

Although Aiyin was somewhat curious about Qing's attitude, she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she took the hand of the stunned Deng and continued walking.

Qing followed with a sigh of relief. It was great that he didn't have to explain why he refused to watch the dolphin show. Yi Deng hated caviar and raw eggs because they "felt alive" and would break down when thinking about the meaning of life. If she knew the cruelty behind the dolphin show, she would probably blame herself to the extreme, right?

The three of them came to the aquarium's souvenir shop, which contained many marine life peripherals, but the prices were not cheap. Qing naturally would not spend the money on these delicate little pieces of trash, so she just stood far away and had no intention of choosing any souvenirs.

It is called a souvenir shop, but in fact it is a larger rest area inside the aquarium. In addition to this souvenir shop, there are many tables and chairs outside for tourists to rest, and next to it is an oceanarium restaurant.

At this time, Deng came over and tugged at Qing's sleeve, and Qing realized that Deng had returned after taking Ain to see the souvenirs. Qing couldn't guess what Deng wanted to say, so he asked: "What's wrong?"

"Can Xiaoqing hear their cries too?"

Deng was a little hesitant when asking this question, as if he was considering his wording.

"What do they mean?"

Qing tilted his head and asked.

"dolphin."

As he spoke, Deng subconsciously placed his hand on his chest, as if he was thinking about something, or trying to express something. Then Deng raised his head, looked at Qing's face, and talked about the past.

"That day I heard... the real screams of the dolphins after the show... they were crying and wailing..."

Deng talked about her own personal experience, but her poor ability to express herself made her words a little difficult to understand.

Like everyone who is not good at socializing, Deng is not good at rejecting others. She often comes to visit the aquarium and is naturally recommended by the staff to watch dolphin shows at the dolphinarium. Deng is not good at rejecting others, and she also likes dolphins very much, so she went to watch the show.

At first, Deng was delighted by the dolphins’ smiling faces and their friendly behavior towards humans. As she watched the shows more and more times, she even regarded the dolphins here as her friends.

However, one day, after watching the show, she returned to the dolphinarium because she had forgotten something. Then she heard the cry from the depths of her friend's heart... She finally understood what kind of experiences her "friends" had gone through. Their smiles and intimacy were all the result of cruel experiences and painful training.

All the joy that her friends had brought her in the past had turned into poison. A feeling of suffocation made Deng unable to breathe. Her vision gradually blurred, and the light from the top gradually faded away, as if she had fallen into an abyss. The increasingly close call from her friend made Deng struggle to save her friend... and then, she lost consciousness.

After waking up, your mother told Deng that you fell into the water, but with the help of dolphins and staff, you were successfully rescued.

Then Deng realized that he could do nothing, could not save anything, and would even cause trouble to his friends...

Then, Deng ran away. Escape was the only thing Deng could do, not seeing those friends was the only thing she could do.

After roughly understanding what Deng wanted to say, Qing fell silent. Deng asked carefully: "Can Xiaoqing also hear their cries? If it were Xiaoqing, what would she do?"

Qing thought for a while, then said: "First of all, I can't hear the emotions expressed in the dolphins' voices. I just understand their pain through other channels. As for what I will do, I will probably do the same as Deng. Not providing a market for their pain is probably the most I can do."

Qing encourages Deng to face difficulties and setbacks positively, but this does not mean that she wants Deng to face all problems head-on and solve everything. First of all, not all problems in this world can be solved. Just like this incident, so many countries in the world have already established laws related to the ban on animal performances, why doesn't Japan have one? Because a huge chain of interests has been formed between them, which cannot be easily shaken, and the power of individuals is even more powerless in front of these behemoths behind them.
