Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

It's like trying desperately to light a match in a deserted winter night, trying desperately to feel every breath.

Knowing that the faint warmth would soon wither in the cold that was sweeping the world, she had no choice but to do this, and would only do this.

……Then.

"Silly goose."

Zhe Li suddenly released the tight embrace that was around his entire body.

The sudden loss of warmth made the girl instinctively seek comfort.

But he took the initiative to hold up his face.

"..."

She stared blankly at the person in front of her.

The eyes blurred by tears vaguely depicted a face that should have been extremely familiar.

The man was smiling.

In the center of his sight stood a pair of azure eyes, radiating a star-like intensity—

"I like it very much."

“————…….”

The girl even lost her voice for a moment.

Zhe Li just kept talking to himself:

"Gentle Su Shi, playful Su Shi, reliable Su Shi, childish Su Shi..."

His big hands gently rubbed her cheeks.

"Then there was the timid Su Shi, the selfish Su Shi, the unreasonable Su Shi..."

The man smiled an overly innocent smile, as if he found it amusing.

"Every Su Shi world is a Su Shi world. I like every Su Shi world."

"I'm so greedy."

"...So, can you promise me something?"

He grinned.

The smile seemed to drive away the coldness that permeated the whole body.

Smiling like a fool.

"Please give this ugly crying face to 'my current self'."

"You can't give it to anyone. Not you in the mirror, not me in the future."

"Please let the present me have all the 'present world' to myself."

"Then……"

In the twilight, his smile was as bright as the morning sun.

It's like I want to loudly declare to the whole world—

"Go put on your best smile."

“To like every Sushi that I like.”

“Become the version of yourself that you love most.”

"Okay?"

...and it was so hot that it seemed to be able to melt away the tears and sadness together.

and so.

“————…….”

“——…….”

"..."

The girl's rapid breathing finally calmed down.

Although my cheeks were only gently lifted, I felt as warm as if someone was holding me tightly in their arms.

She smiled quietly.

He was flustered and embarrassed, but suddenly burst into laughter.

Maybe it still seems a little forced, like those eyes that are still filled with tears.

But the man in front of him looked very happy.

So she also, involuntarily.

Together, they jumped for joy.

……

……

"Hey, Zheli."

"Please say."

A young girl was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees.

His still somewhat red and swollen eyes stared down at the boundary between light and shadow.

She whispered, "I like you."

"I know." The man responded quietly.

"...Can't you be more excited?"

"Wow! I'm deeply moved!"

"idiot……"

The girl puffed up her cheeks at first, then immediately couldn't help laughing.

She took a deep breath, stood up straight again, raised her little face, and looked at the man who always stayed by her side.

Even though her cheeks were burning like fire, as if her remaining self-control was about to evaporate completely, she still tried to open her lips.

"Kiss me." She said calmly.

The man responded just as calmly: "No."

"……Why?"

"You're still in junior high school."

"Is high school student enough?"

"we'll talk about it then."

"Hmph..." The girl pouted, her voice awkward and coquettish. "You'll like other girls by then."

The man smiled and said, "Are you so unsure of yourself?"

"...That's right! I am such an inferior woman!"

Su Shi shouted in despair, but at the end, his words were so soft and subtle that they were hard to grasp:

"So... even if it's fake, please lie to me."

"Hmm..." Zhe Li then murmured.

"Then, lend me your hand."

“…What are you going to do…?”

Su Shi's wandering gaze stopped on Zhe Li's bright eyes.

He said seriously:

"No kissing, just hold hands for a while."

"…………cunning."

Su Shi muttered softly, turned her face away, but still reached out her hand to the man.

And the man smiled quietly.

He first lightly touched the back of her hand, then suddenly moved his hand into the palm of her hand, gently stroking her fingertips with his thick knuckles.

Finally, slip it quietly through your fingers and hold it tightly.

“——…….”

She froze for a second, almost at a loss.

Only then carefully——

With him, fingers interlocked.

……

……

……

……

……

P.S. 4K. We'll be on hiatus tomorrow. Thank you everyone.

Chapter 44 of Lost Stars: Summer Records: Episode Let's decorate the morning of our meeting with the promised flower

11 o'clock at night.

On a large bed as neat as that in a high-end hotel.

There was a young girl lying quietly in the center, as if she was not thinking about anything.

...Then she suddenly raised her hands and grabbed her head, rolling left and right, and kicking her legs.

Just trying to recall the experience of the long journey before getting home today, she felt her little head was hot as if it was overloaded.

"I-We... this counts as a relationship, right? It has to be, right? Right...?"

Hugs! Holding hands! And discussing what to prepare for dinner!

Oh, this last one seems to be normal.

But, but but...!

“————…….”

After making a fuss for a while, the girl opened her eyes wide again and stared at the ceiling blankly.

"What am I doing..."

She covered her head with the quilt.

"Go to bed quickly."

Buzz, buzz——

...and then immediately throw it away when he hears the phone vibrate.

After throwing off the quilt, Nagasaki Suyo hesitated for a moment before stealthily reaching out to the bedside table to retrieve her phone. However, she didn't immediately glance at the automatically lit screen, instead subconsciously pressing it to her chest.

The only person who would send her a message at a time like this, probably, is that person...

She was looking forward to it, but also afraid of being disappointed, even if it was just her own expectation.

But, but——

She quietly opened her eyes.

“————…….”

The girl first pursed her lips, then wrinkled her nose, and finally held her lips tightly.
