Kiyotaka apologized calmly. After all, he didn't mean it, and if it weren't for him, Shiina would have fallen to the ground. So Kiyotaka didn't feel guilty.

"No...I was distracted...I don't blame you."

Shiina looked at Kiyotaka with a blushing face and shook her head.

Then, as if to change the subject, she pulled Qinglong and quickly came to the small pavilion by the river.

“The scenery here is really beautiful.”

Shiina looked at the view, then glanced back at Kiyotaka and said.

"It's really okay, because there are not many people here, and I usually like to come here and sit alone."

Qinglong nodded slightly in agreement.

"Oh, is that so?"

For some reason, Kiyotaka felt that Shiina's attitude had changed slightly since what happened just now, but he couldn't tell exactly where.

"Did I say something weird?"

Qinglong asked in confusion.

"Hey, Ayanokouji-san."

Shiina stared at Kiyotaka with his eyes wide open, the ahoge on his head swaying slightly in the wind.

"what happened?"

"Just now...did you feel comfortable?"

Kiyotaka never expected Shiina to ask such a question, it was out of character for her, but the question was pressing.

Qinglong's expression didn't change at all, and he spoke as if he was explaining something.

"I don't feel anything. The clothes are too thick."

Shiina asked angrily and amusedly.

"Are you saying from the side that mine isn't big enough, so it's all blocked by my clothes and I can't touch it?"

Kiyotaka glanced down at Shiina slightly, then fell silent.

"...Do you know that silence can be scary sometimes, Ayanokouji-san?"

Seeing Kiyotaka remain silent, Shiina seemed to be shocked.

"Sorry, I'm just stating a fact."

fact...

Shiina was completely devastated by this word. She looked at Kiyotaka with shame and anger, then she lifted her clothes with a red face and said to Kiyotaka with a stubborn look on her face.

"What facts! You are making a false accusation! I am not that young!"

Kiyotaka took one look at it, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, not that small."

"You are just trying to fool me!"

Shiina's personality seems like a different person, or maybe this is her attitude after she gets familiar with someone.

She took two steps closer to Qinglong indignantly and said shyly but unyieldingly.

"No, you must confirm it clearly."

"How to prove it?"

"You...you touch it..."

After saying that, Shiina felt embarrassed first. She squatted down and curled up like an ostrich avoiding danger, covering her face with her hands.

I...how could I say such things, oh my god, what am I doing, how will Ayanokouji look at me if I do this.

Kiyotaka looked at Shiina in amusement, who was saying angry words and then shyly surrendered first, and couldn't help but change the subject.

"I'm hungry, why don't we eat first."

Upon hearing this, Shiina raised her head slightly and looked at Kiyotaka with tearful eyes.

"it is good..."

After the farce just now, the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward, or rather, it was Zhuidun who felt awkward. She ate absent-mindedly.

Even though her lunch box, which she usually couldn't finish half of, was completely eaten up by her, she didn't notice it at all and continued to put food into her mouth mechanically.

"Shiina-san, are you hungry?"

"Ah...ah?"

Shiina raised his head in confusion and looked at Qingtaka in bewilderment.

Kiyotaka just looked at the bento and signaled with his eyes.

Shiina just lowered her head and saw that her lunch box was already empty. She immediately put down the spoon and her face turned red.

"No...no, I'm just thinking."

"Your face is very red. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you go back?"

Qing Long kindly advised.

At this time, Shiina looked closely at Kiyotaka.

"Ayanokouji-san, is there really no one here?"

Although Qinglong was confused, he answered honestly.

"Yes, there are usually few people here, let alone in winter. The wind here is not something that everyone can stand."

Shiina nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Kiyotaka seriously and said.

"Ayanokouji-san, if that's the case, go ahead and touch me!"

"ha?..."

Chapter 138 Shiina's Invitation

After asking a puzzled question, Qinglong looked at Shiina, whose face was flushed, in surprise and asked.

"Shiina-san, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I...I know! I want to prove myself."

Although shy, Shiina still spoke with inexplicable stubbornness.

"..."

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Qing Long just thought it was absurd, he changed the subject and prepared to leave.

"no!"

Shiina grabbed Kiyotaka's clothes and pressed herself against him tightly. A fragrant breeze blew into Kiyotaka's nose as she got closer, and it smelled very refreshing.

"Shiina-san, do you have any purpose in doing this? This does not bring any benefit to you. With your intelligence, it should not be difficult to come to this conclusion, right?"

Qinglong did not struggle or move, but just looked at Shiina calmly and asked indifferently.

Yes, why? I don’t understand myself. I have never had such an impulse in my world. My world has been full of black and white text since I was a child. Every day I am accompanied by books, without friends or communication.

However, since Ayanokouji appeared, I feel like there is a shadow in my world. Although he is serious and looks very cold, it is undeniable that since his appearance, my world has become more colorful, and even a smile often appears on my face when I communicate with him.

All these changes are caused by him. What's the point of me doing this? Maybe it's because I want to confirm my own and his feelings?

Thinking of this, Shiina raised his head and looked at Qinglong seriously.

"Ayanokouji-san, what do you think of me?"

"Well, what does it mean?"

Kiyotaka was puzzled.

"What do you think of me as a person, how do you feel about me, how are you getting along with me, and what do you feel about me?"

Shiina's hands that were grasping Qinglong's clothes tightened more and more, and the force was so strong that her body even trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was very nervous and uneasy.

"I think Shiina-san is a knowledgeable and gentle girl, and I feel relaxed and happy talking to you. Because of this, I don't want to easily destroy our friendship. Once something is tainted with impure colors, it will no longer be pure."

"Really... So that's how you see me. I want to confirm it even more..."

Shiina muttered to herself, then loosened Kiyotaka's clothes, looked at him with a smile on her face and said.

"Ayanokouji-san, can I make two requests? I hope you can agree to them."

"If I can do that."

Qinglong did not agree rashly.

"I hope the way we address each other won't be so unfamiliar. Can I just call you Qing Long from now on?"

"Of course, Shiina-san."

Qinglong agreed to this request without any hesitation.

Shiina shook her head.

"In that case, you can just call me Hiyori from now on. Otherwise, don't you think it's weird that I call you Kiyotaka but you call me Shiina-san?"

"Okay, Hiyori."

"Ah."

Shiina smiled with satisfaction.

"Then my second request is, on New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, as far as I know there will be a New Year's Festival held by the staff working at the school and their families. I heard that fireworks are allowed on that day. Can I invite you to accompany me that night?"

"New Year's Festival..."

Such a strange word, it is a field that Qinglong has never come into contact with.

"why me?"

Kiyotaka asked, looking at Shiina.

"Because I want to confirm something."

Shiina admitted it openly.

"Well, if you don't mind, that's fine by me."

Qinglong thought about it and agreed.

"Then it's settled. Good night, and have a good dream tonight, Qinglong."

After getting Kiyotaka's consent, Shiina left the pavilion without hesitation.

"Goodnight, Hiyori."

Qing Long stared at the direction she left, feeling a bit weird deep down, this kind of goodbye was a bit novel.

-

As a school with an area comparable to that of a small city, it is certainly not just school staff who live here. Staff in the commercial area and personnel in charge of logistics actually account for a large proportion. Because they work here, most of their families also choose to live here. Based on this, the number of people is terrifying.

As the most important New Year's Day of the year, although the school will not organize any activities, he also defaults and will not stop it.

As a result, the New Year Festival organized by non-school personnel was born.

Because of Shiina's reminder, Kiyotaka paid a little attention in the past two days and found that the flow of people was indeed a lot more than before. Most of them were carrying things and rushing to an open space halfway up the mountain. I guess this is the advance preparation for the New Year's Festival?

December 31st at 7pm.

At the agreed time, Qinglong arrived at the meeting place in advance. He couldn't help but sigh as he watched the crowd rushing to the New Year's festival site.

"So this is the New Year Festival? There are so many people."

It is inevitable that there will be a lot of people. In addition to the teachers and students of the school, there are also a large number of employees' relatives who come with their families to participate. This is a festival for everyone to celebrate.

In the crowd, Kiyotaka keenly spotted Shiina approaching.

The main reason is that her outfit today is too eye-catching.

Shiina tied her shiny silver hair up high, showing her elegant demeanor. She wore an elegant kimono, showing off her temperament. Unlike usual, today she was more bold to expose her snow-white skin and the round hemisphere in front of her to the air, which undoubtedly added to her charm.
