How rude, we are pure love!

"You... you figured it out."

He scratched his face shyly, and more or less guessed why his childhood playmate came to look for him.

"Yes, actually I've always wanted to find a chance to tell you..."

*

At the same time, the two people outside the school were also listening intently, but the next moment, a gentle voice sounded softly in their ears, making them jump at the same time.

"Um, can I call you... Kiyono-kun?"

Qingye and Banai turned around in surprise, and the first thing they saw was a forehead as bright as the moonlight.

The other person took off his mask, revealing a classical and quiet face.

"Mr. Chaoyun?" Banai saw the puzzled expression.

"Shh, please keep your voice down. Don't let them hear you. Yanai-kun." Asagumo Chihaya raised her index finger to her lips. "Sorry, I was really worried, so I ran over..."

Yanaijian was silent for a moment, so how did you know? After all, it was Lemon who took the initiative to tell Qingye, so did Ayano-san also tell you?

"Just now, Mitsuki mentioned that we were dating, right?"

Chihaya Asagumo naturally joined their peeping team and stood in the same position as the two of them.

She tilted her head and stared at Qingye - she knew that the reason why Lemon had changed so much was because of this boy, and because of him, she was forced to take a gamble, but even so, the girl's eyes were still gentle.

"Actually, I was the one who confessed it."

*

"A while ago, Chihaya confessed to me..."

In the pitch-black silence, after a brief silence, Ayano Mitsuki spoke.

He didn't look at the face of the girl next to him, but swung hard on the swing, as if to hide his embarrassment.

"Ah, but I didn't agree to it just because she confessed to me. On the contrary, I regret it because at that moment, I deeply understood my feelings. This kind of thing should really be done by boys, right?"

He spoke softly, his tone as complicated as his mood, a mixture of joy, shame, happiness, and an indescribable melancholy.

"I didn't understand what it felt like to like someone before, but after being with Chihaya, I finally understood. Ah, so this is what it feels like."

There was a brief pause in their conversation, as if they were exploring their own hearts, as if they were weaving their emotions into words.

"Guangxi..."

At some point, Lemon stopped swinging and looked at him with eyes that were between tenderness and emotion, as if the boy she knew had grown up all of a sudden.

"That Mitsuki who always keeps his head down reading and isn't good at talking to others has also found a girlfriend."

"Hey, Mitsuki, do you remember what happened before?" she said.

Of course.

Whether it was in elementary school or junior high school, any time the two of us spent together is a precious memory.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his childhood.

On a spring day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, he met a little girl with an injured leg. This little girl was very popular in the class and was known as the leader of the children. At first, he was very scared, but later he gradually realized that she was actually a gentle girl, so they read a storybook together...

Spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Read one book after another.

Shaoyan Lemon looked quietly and seriously into the eyes of her childhood sweetheart, as if she saw a reflection of her past in his eyes.

She had undoubtedly liked him.

Fragments of nostalgic memories emerged in her mind. She still remembered how moved she was when she first listened to the boy read the picture book. She could no longer remember the title of the book, but she only remembered that it was a beautiful story in which the two shared each other's joy and sorrow.

It was from that time that the two people's hearts seemed to be connected, allowing them, who should have had no intersection, to walk on the same path, and because of their encounter, they changed their lives.

Then, I entered junior high school.

"When I was in the second year of junior high school, I suddenly said that I wanted to apply to this high school with a very high deviation value, right? And Mitsuki said that you also wanted to apply to the same high school. Now can you tell me the reason?"

In fact, she had already guessed the answer, but she was still carefully confirming everything, as if she was saying goodbye properly, turning the words in her heart into words.

"because……"

As words lingered on their lips, Ayano Mitsuki sighed softly. "Because I wanted to go to the same school as you. Back then, I..."

"Probably, I like lemons."

10①2二八з零㈨⑧

It's been years since I've felt this way, a feeling I haven't been able to express properly.

Finally, it was conveyed to the other party by accident.

Unexpectedly, Lemon was calmer than she had imagined.

Although she still had some feelings for her childhood sweetheart, she would have felt more shy, happy, sad and lamenting upon hearing these words, but now all that echoed in her heart were beautiful memories and relief.

This must be due to the influence of someone.

Burnt Salt Lemon slowly closed his eyes and smiled.

After her vision was blocked, the lake in her heart seemed to split into a transparent mirror. The self who read books with her childhood sweetheart as a child, and the self who shed sweat and hot blood with Qingye that day, they were looking at each other through the mirror. With a click, all the images suddenly shattered like glass -

There is no need to dwell on the past.

Go and say goodbye properly.

Now she can definitely say everything.

She was here because Qingye had given her the passion back.

Shaoyan Lemon opened his eyes, stood up, and walked over to his childhood sweetheart.

At this time, the dark clouds in the night sky began to move, revealing the original bright moon. The girl turned her back to the moon, her eyes shining.

"Me too."

"I liked you back then, too."

She smiled widely.

"But that's all in the past. Now, I have a goal that I want to achieve with all my strength, and you, Mitsuki, have a girlfriend. Let's say goodbye to the past together."

Shaoyan Lemon took a deep breath and looked at his childhood sweetheart with dignity.

This immature and naive relationship that lasted for half of my youth is finally coming to an end at this moment.

They have become adults.

She wanted to run straight and passionately towards her dream.

That's awesome, lemon...

Mitsuki looked at her blankly, with a complex look in his eyes. Lemon seemed to have always been like this, passionate, dazzling, straightforward, and fearless. He had always longed for such a lemon.

"Ah."

He was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Under the bright moon, Lemon raised his head and looked up at the night sky.

Strange thoughts inexplicably emerged in her mind.

in case.

If this were a romantic comedy, how would the plot develop? She might read books with her childhood sweetheart, go to the same school, study hard together to get into the same school, accidentally find out each other's feelings, and perhaps have a quarrel, but they would definitely reconcile in the end. It would be as beautiful as a fairy tale.

But she prefers the current story.

When she is in pain, there is a fool who will find a way to make her smile; when she is stuck, there is a fool who will grab her hand; when she is cowardly, there is a fool who will scold her and give her the courage to move forward.

It was he who ignited the fire within him.

She wanted to move forward with Qingye.

Not only here, but also in another real world——

047. There's a cow! [Two in one]

"It's over..."

Outside the iron gate, Qingye and Banaijian sighed at the same time. They had once fallen in love with each other, but then missed each other with regret. The youth and feelings of that time could no longer be reproduced.

And the other heroine...

"So Mitsuki really likes Lemon-san." Chihaya Asagumo lowered her head and looked at her toes, feeling confused.

In fact, she had realized this before. She knew that Lemon liked Mitsuki, and she also knew that Mitsuki had some special feelings for his childhood sweetheart. It was precisely for this reason that she was anxious to confess her feelings. She was afraid that if she didn't take action, this relationship would have no results.

However, although she had already won, now seeing these two people who originally liked each other miss each other, a strong sense of guilt surged into her heart, spreading through her blood vessels to her whole body. She even felt that it would be better if she had not intervened.

She had to use all her tricks to successfully date Mitsuki. She was a mean, bad girl. Did Mitsuki prefer Lemon to her? Such negative thoughts kept swirling in her mind.

Chihaya Asagumo clutched the corner of her clothes.

Yanaijian, who was standing by, noticed her abnormality. After a little thought, she understood the girl's conflicted heart. She had a very good impression of this literary girl. She spoke in a soft voice, as gentle as a Yamato Nadeshiko. As for Chaoyun's hidden selfishness... it was not wrong to pursue her own happiness.

She supported Lemon, but she couldn't make Chaoyun give up.

She kept hinting at Qingye with her eyes, asking him to say a few words of comfort to the other person. Seeing that he didn't respond, she patted him on the back gently.

Qingye was speechless. He could understand Banaijian's hint, but what should he say? They were not familiar with each other!

After two seconds of silence, he coughed lightly:

"Don't worry about the past. Didn't they both say goodbye to the past? So, why not cherish the person in front of you?"

Cherish the person in front of you...

Chihaya Asagumo seemed to like the last sentence very much. She whispered it twice and felt a little better. Her eyes regained their luster.

"That's very well said, Kiyono-kun."

She tilted her head, her watery eyes emitting a soft glow staring at Qingye, and suddenly felt that he was a very suitable person to talk to - the fact that he could have a good relationship with Banaijian and Lemon showed that he was considerate and gentle enough, and the fact that he could give Lemon the courage showed that he treated his friends sincerely, and he was definitely a very good person.

She had always wanted to find someone to talk to about her inner troubles.

"Kiyono-kun... Can I come to that restaurant to see you in a couple of days? Because I want to be friends with you... Ah, don't worry, I will take the order properly and won't interfere with your work."

The literary girl's lips curled up into an expectant smile.

At this moment, Ba Naijian's expression paused. The girl seemed to have noticed something. She slowly turned her head to look at the two of them, with the corners of her mouth twitching.

She originally thought Chihaya Asagumo would be fine, since they weren't familiar with each other and she already had a boyfriend. But, but... what was going on? Why did it seem like every girl had a strange tacit understanding with this guy?

In the moonlight, Banaijian suddenly noticed the English words on Qingye's clothes. He was wearing a pure black long-sleeved shirt today, and on his chest, the [COUNTRY] icon was shining.

*

The rainy season is not over yet.

The business in the store also rotates with rainy and sunny days. In another gloomy day, Qingye huddled comfortably in the corner of the lounge, discussing business with the editor using chat software - Banaijian also took a leave today because the exam was approaching.

However, her snacks are still with her, so to round it off, she is still there.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and an older sister poked her head out, smiling ambiguously and said, "Qingye-kun, Yanaijian just called and said he wanted to see you."

Eight Nai see?

Qingye raised an eyebrow, stood up and walked to the phone in the restaurant.

"Did you forget your snacks?" His first sentence was straight to the point.

"...Can't I be doing something else?" the girl yelled in frustration, then faltered. "That's true...but I didn't forget my snacks, I forgot my study notes. Please help me get them! It's not raining right now, and there aren't any customers in the store!"

Qingye has become accustomed to Hanaijian's style and doesn't even complain about it.
