Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

●

The street lamps cast a soft light.

Nagasaki Suyo stood in the light with her back to her.

"Sorry, are you scared?"

She suddenly turned around and gave an apologetic smile.

"Since Xiao Deng didn't reply to messages or answer calls, I had no choice but to come find you in person."

"..."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head and remained silent.

Su Shi looked at her in the shadows, his gaze slightly gloomy.

"Xiao Deng didn't come to practice today."

She nodded softly, "Yeah."

"Why is that? Can you tell me the reason?"

"..."

After the sunny day turned dark, a waterless rain shower fell, making the silent evening breeze blow the dark gray.

The sound of rain in her memory still lingered on her neck, but she opened her mouth but said nothing.

"Well."

Nagasaki Suyo pondered in the light.

……Then.

He walked out of the light and came in front of her.

“——————.”

That flower-like smile was stained with a layer of night color in the night, but it could not hide the pair of eyes that were as bright as the blue sky.

Even after she walked out of the light and into the shadows, her image of herself with her hands behind her back and her head tilted to listen was still as vivid as if she could tear off a piece of darkness and paint it with a color that belonged only to her.

It is so strong that it seems to have carved out a line of midsummer.

"Really..."

She smiled in the shadows.

"That's what I hate about you, Xiao Deng."

"..."

"Eh?"

Takamatsu Deng was unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words for a moment.

In the center of the field of vision, the girl was smiling gently with the corners of her mouth raised.

But those slightly narrowed eyes already revealed a cold light.

It doesn't look like a clear sky, but more like a wave that chooses its prey.

"——Takamatsu Deng, I really hate you."

"As long as I don't touch, as long as I don't ask for anything, as long as I watch from afar, I presumptuously imagine that we can live in peace, but I also greedily want to possess..." Her words were accompanied by shallow breaths, calm and as if it had nothing to do with her. "Now that things have come to this, I'm hiding in my comfort zone again. As long as I escape, it doesn't matter..."

Gao Songdeng stared blankly at the gentle, cold, calm and extremely complex face.

——It clearly felt like a reproach, but it didn’t hurt at all.

Gao Songdeng couldn't even let his emotions follow his words, he could only clench his fists and listen in silence.

Until, that girl once again smiled without any gloom before her eyes——

"...But you didn't run away this time."

Her voice was gentle, "I am completely different from before."

"..."

Gao Songdeng opened his eyes, as if he wanted to deeply imprint that overly beautiful smile in his memory.

Seeing her silence, Nagasaki Suyo shrugged and continued, "To be honest, I don't really care about bands or anything like that. Lixi is always looking for arguments with me, Xiaoxiang is very noisy, and you and Xiaomu are still the same old taciturn ones. CRYCHIC... maybe the five of us were never suitable from the beginning."

"but."

Her quiet eyes shine like stars in the night.

"I'm very happy to hold a LIVE."

“Even though we’re not compatible at all, we can still play a piece like that.”

She took a step forward.

It's so close that it's only a stone's throw away.

She smiled and said, "Deng's lyrics book is actually just a diary."

"...Woo." Takamatsu Deng, who had no reaction until now, subconsciously shrank his body.

"I could tell from the beginning. It's all scribbled over and doesn't rhyme. Only an idiot like Xiaoxiang would treat it as lyrics." Su Shi hummed a few times, glanced at the light, and turned his head to look into the deep night. "You actually took someone else's diary and wrote a song without my permission. Seriously, there has to be a limit to your lack of common sense."

She sighed, but then laughed.

"But now, I'm grateful to her."

"..."

"Because of her, I got to know you and the song 'Spring Shadow'."

She squinted her eyes, as if savoring something, and the smile on her lips was so gentle that it seemed to melt.

"——"Haruhi Shadow" It's really, a great song."

It was like I was singing in place of my old self.

"Just like you, I also encountered the 'light'."

She turned to Gao Songdeng and smiled with a certain smugness.

Deng looked at that smile, lowered his eyes, and asked softly, "Is it Zheli?"

"……yes."

She reached out to the sky in the starless night.

"'Took me tenderly,' 'Embraced me tenderly.'"

"Your lyrics are like telling my story—that's why I hate them."

She put her hands away, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Gao Songdeng with raised eyebrows, but she didn't try to hide the smile on her face at all.

"How annoying. This is clearly my mood, but I have to let someone who is not me sing it for me. Why didn't I write the lyrics? Why didn't I sing it? And why did it have to be you, whom I already hate so much?"

"I hated it so much, but gradually I started to like this song and this voice."

"……so."

She held out her hand to her from the shadows.

"Before my heart can surpass your song."

A smile that was too bright appeared on his usually gentle and calm face.

"Please, don't give up, okay?"

……

The stars twinkling in my eyes.

The fire in my heart is surging.

The impression, which seems a bit distant, is clearly imprinted at this moment.

...really, very similar.

Gao Songdeng suddenly understood.

Why is her smile so bright? Why are her words so loud?

"——I, too, really want to be human."

The noise that had been lingering in my ears was finally drowned out in the night by a cry in my memory.

…Ahhh.

There are still feelings that have not yet been sung into song.

There are voices that have yet to be heard.

I know all this clearly, but I still can't help but hesitate...

"……I……"

Knuckles clenched. Nails bitten.

"Me too, can I?"

Gao Songdeng raised his head.

She looked intently into Nagasaki Suyo's eyes.

"My singing voice, too, is that okay...?"

And Nagasaki Suyo still had her hands outstretched, still looking at her——

"Can you catch up?"

“…——.”

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath.

then.

He held that hand tightly.

——Even if it’s just a moment of courage.

"I will try my best to keep up."

With a click, the door was pushed open.

Shiina Riki was originally tapping on the screen of his mobile phone with his head down, but when he heard the door open, he suddenly looked towards the door.

First, he looked disappointed when he saw Nagasaki Suyo walk into the room with a smile on her face as usual, and then he cried out in surprise when he saw the girl cowering like a cub following closely behind her.

"Light! ...You are here."

"Hmm?! Mm-hmm."

Gao Songdeng was startled by her call and instinctively wrinkled her nose and turned away, as if thinking that as long as she didn't look, she wouldn't be discovered. Only after her little head finally understood the owner of the voice after a while did she cautiously open her eyes, glance at Li Xi beside the drum set, and nod.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't say anything, just smiled at her, then returned to her usual position, put down her schoolbag and violin case, and prepared to start practicing.

Deng had originally looked at Su Shi for help when Li Xi opened his mouth, but as he saw Su Shi walking away, Deng did not call out to her in the end.

In the unbearable silence, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and looked at Li Xi timidly with her bright eyes.

Then, he spoke softly—

"Um, I'm sorry for my sudden absence."

"..."

Li Xi paused for the first moment, as if trying to interpret the will of the lamp from the subtle sound.

But soon, she showed a somewhat awkward smile:

"It doesn't matter! Isn't the light on now? That's enough."

She seemed to want to use this to dispel the depression that had accumulated in Gao Songdeng's heart, but Deng lowered his eyes even more with that smile.

“…It’s all my fault. I didn’t sing well.”
