How rude, we are pure love!

Qingye calmly realized this fact.

The next second, his thighs couldn't help but tremble. How strange! Hanami and Haruno had bathed here so often before, but why was his heart so restless today? Was it because of her subtle hints? Or was it just a subtle change in the girl?

Besides, didn’t he even bring a change of clothes?

Qingye shook his head, found some brand new underwear, put them on the washing machine outside the bathroom, and gave a reminder.

As I got closer to the bathroom, the sound of the shower became clearer, and I could vaguely see the hazy silhouette of the bathroom door, which made me imagine the crystal clear water droplets flowing slowly along my body.

He took a deep breath, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, the girl interrupted him loudly.

"That, that..."

In the bathroom, it seemed a bit shy to speak like this. Banai turned off the shower, jumped into the bathtub, buried the lower half of his face in the water, gurgling and spitting bubbles to cover up his expression.

"Sorry, I forgot to bring my hair tie in. Can you help me see where it fell?"

She tied her hair up simply with her hands.

Outside the door, Qingye paused.

Hairband?

He glanced around and finally found a hair tie with a slightly loose edge on the sink.

Qingye picked up the scented hairband, walked to the door, and was about to put it on the ground for her. He coughed lightly:

"I found it. I'll put it here for you..."

He suddenly felt the warm heat coming towards him, with a unique fragrance.

The bathroom door was quietly opened a crack, and an arm as frosty white as the silver moon stretched out, with a few water droplets hanging on the hand. Under the refraction of the light, it looked even more charming and attractive.

She, her current posture... Can't you just come out and get it yourself after I leave!

Qingye's heart was shaken for a moment.

Banaijian picked up the hairband in his hand, and their hands touched each other inadvertently. The smooth touch and hot body temperature seemed to be able to deceive people's brains.

The girl didn't say anything, but just took the hairband silently.

Huh, I don’t know if it was the girl’s charming warm breath or his sigh of relief.

Tick-tick, the water drops gently fell to the ground.

Qingye left the bathroom and sat on the sofa again with a serious expression, but Hanaijian's attack was obviously not over yet!

"Kiyono-kun, this bath spray smells so good!"

"That was bought by Miss Yang Nai. She said she was used to this brand."

"Oh……"

"Kiyono-kun, the material of the shower gel is so comfortable!"

"That's something Yukinoshita just bought. She said it's made of special, all-natural materials."

"Um……"

The bathroom sounds disappeared.

Qingye didn't care and picked up a book.

About ten minutes later, light footsteps sounded behind him. He casually put down the book and turned around.

The CG of my boyfriend's shirt was triggered.

The loose white shirt made the skin that was steamed by the heat look even more delicate, with a faint pink color, and the feet under the slender legs were bare and stepped on the floor.

Looking up, I saw wet hair and slightly red cheeks.

"Can I sit next to you?" The blue-haired girl's smile was mixed with a different atmosphere than usual.

"We are on a fully equipped studio set here. Please put on your coat before coming back."

“This is something even children can watch!”

Banaijian snorted, casually put on some clothes, sat down beside him, and looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.

The sky in front of me is already filled with thick twilight. Today's dusk is peony-colored, painting a beautiful color for the city.

The soft sunset shone through the window, casting a faint blush on the living room floor.

The air was filled with the reassuring sound of breathing.

"There should be a beautiful bright moon tonight." Ba Naijian's voice was like a translucent gauze curtain.

"You're already becoming literary before you even become an editor?" Qingye joked.

Banaijian put a hand on his chin and playedfully leaned against him. He seemed to be surrounded by the scent of a mixture of shampoo and shower gel.

“Will we live like this in the future?”

She looked up at the sky, her blue eyes reflecting the elegant dusk.

"What kind of life?" Qingye gradually realized something. Banaijian had obviously entered the second stage!

"Hmm... sitting in the sunset like this, either discussing novels enthusiastically or quietly watching the dusk gradually fall. It would be even better if I had a puppy with me."

The girl smiled and spoke, this was just an ordinary family scene that could be seen everywhere, but when it was with this person, the mood changed, it became beautiful and unforgettable.

This atmosphere...

Qingye slowly put down the book, and Banaijian just turned his head and met his eyes tenderly.

The sunset sets little by little.

The boy holding a book sat next to her. The light gradually disappeared, and the boy's figure became increasingly hazy, so unreal that he seemed to be disappearing from her sight.

what.

How to express your feelings appropriately?

It was like reciting a poem whose ink was still wet—

If you try too hard, you might distort the original meaning; if you try too lightly, you might not be able to fully convey the meaning.

There is nothing more to say, not too much and not too little, and every byte must be timely, just like spring and cherry blossoms, like summer and fireworks.

She made up her mind.

"Kyono-kun!"

Yanaijian took a deep breath and shouted as if he was confirming something.

"Ok?"

Qingye raised his head.

At this moment, Banaijian stood up from the sofa. At this moment, she was looking down at the boy, and the offense and defense were reversed. The girl put her hands on the boy's shoulders and looked straight into his eyes. They saw the fragrant grass, flowers, sunshine and bright moon in each other's eyes.

The setting sun just took away the last rays of light, and darkness descended like a curtain.

This gave Banaijian more courage. She lowered her head, and her posture did not look like she was kissing her lover, but like she was launching a fatal blow.

but--

A cold, hard feeling came from my lips.

What, what's going on?

Ba Naijian grumbled inwardly. "Don't people say lips feel soft?" he asked. "Why are these guys' lips so hard?" "Is he a robot from another planet?"

The girl opened her eyes in confusion, but saw a thick book in the darkness.

It was a book! The moment she kissed him, Qingye suddenly used the book to block the two of them, covering his entire face!

Her battle plan failed!

"Kyono-kun?"

Even though she had finally mustered up the courage, the girl felt extremely embarrassed and annoyed. Her pretty face was blushing so much that it was clearly visible even in the darkness. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

"Is this how you play with a girl's innocence?"

This idiot...how could there be such a sudden attack?

A complicated smile appeared on Qingye's lips, and his eyes looked straight at her. There were soft emotions in his bright eyes, and his words were calm and gentle.

"Wait a minute, calm down. Is this really what you want? Uneasy, sad, helpless, irritable..."

Banaijian was stunned. After hearing Qingye's words, she slowly realized her inner emotions.

Is she uneasy?

That's true. I'm anxious and worried. I can't care about anything else anymore because I feel like he will disappear from my side.

Did she want a first kiss like this?

Her ideal is a more romantic and beautiful atmosphere, and then to do this sacred thing when their hearts are extremely close to each other.

Why does she want to take action at this time?

Because she wanted to leave some indelible marks in his heart so that he would not forget her, and then she would feel more at ease.

The person you fall in love with first has already lost the initiative.

The heartbeat echoed clearly in the darkness. With her face still flushed, Banaijian hugged her legs, turned around and snorted.

"I just ruined a young lady before she got married."

“Are you a bully?”

You've completely ruined the atmosphere!

After complaining like this, Qingye said.

"Sorry, now,

I can’t reciprocate anyone’s feelings.”

Ba Naijian unconsciously clenched his hands, and at that moment, the days they spent together, the words they exchanged, and the nights they spent together flashed through his mind, turning into extremely complex emotions... But wait.

"What do you mean anyone?"

The girl grasped the key point.

"That's literally what it means."

Qingye's tone was helpless. He could see the complicated situation he was in. The girls had different personalities but were closely connected, the situations were different but the feelings were equally passionate, and different lines were intertwined with each other with himself as the center.

"But I have been adopted by the Yukinoshita family for ten years. Their kindness in raising me is greater than heaven. My life here must naturally move in the direction they expect."

No matter how he defended his tsundere ways, he knew in his heart that the girl had already walked deep into his heart, and this was the truest feeling.

But before that, there are more important things.

The weight of gratitude in this world is never balanced on either end. The heartless and ungrateful only know how to devour kindness, while the mediocre are accustomed to measuring the distance with reins and repaying with something of equal value, but he wants to respond passionately to every gift.

"In other words, you won't marry into the family?" Seeing that his shaky eyes had calmed down, Banai spoke in a relaxed tone.

What was she worried about? Wasn't it just that Qingye was being trapped? If it was just about repaying a favor, then that was perfectly fine! They were still on the same starting line! The future was the true battlefield that would determine victory or defeat!

If it's a fair fight, she won't back down!

"I owe a lot of things: money, time, things, even feelings—but this isn't about love between a man and a woman. This is the only thing that can't be mixed with gains and losses."

Qingye said softly.

To be honest, whether it was the story he experienced this time or Banaijian catching up with him, they were all unexpected for him. He had worried and thought about it. Unconsciously, he had become accustomed to the daily life of the girl and devoted himself to this tenderness, but some things had to change after all.

He stared at Banaijian's back, his voice filled with sincerity.

"So, when our gratitude is over, in another world covered in falling winter snow, let us once again decide on a brand new future."

Choices that must be made, life directions that must be decided.

He placed his hand gently on the girl's shoulder.

There was a long silence.

In the silent silence, heartbeats overlap leisurely.

Banaijian turned around, and the two of them looked at the bright moon gradually hanging in the night sky.

So this is ah.

This feeling is the same as what she thought.
