The platform here is outdoors, not indoors.

It was just a small, raised concrete area. Standing on it, you could clearly smell a musty, rusty, and greasy odor.

The two stood on the platform until the tram left.

Only then did he step off the platform, cross the tracks, and reach the other side.

The road wasn't narrow, but it was only about two lanes wide. There were low walls on both sides, only up to chest height.

However, trees were planted near the wall, completely covering the inside.

A large tree is also planted at intervals outside the wall.

However, the leaves were all yellow and green, looking as if they were stained with scars.

However, the shade under the tree is dense, and it is very cool when you walk down.

You can often see utility poles along the roadside with unknown advertisements pasted on them.

Occasionally, there would be square blue and white railings along the roadside, where two people would sit when they got tired. There weren't many pedestrians on the road that day.

Even cars are a rare sight, appearing only once in a long while.

"There are so few people today."

With her hands gripping the railing, Aoi sighed.

"Since it's Friday, everyone's probably out partying."

"So, Xia Wu, where would you like to go for fun?"

The girl didn't look at Xia Wuzhao beside her, but stared at the fallen leaf in front of her toes.

It's as if those fallen leaves are really attractive.

"There is no plan."

Xia Wuzhao answered casually, but then he asked, "Is there a place you want to go?"

"At that moment, I suddenly panicked."

"Because I thought Xia Wu would refuse. Just like before, a clean and decisive rejection."

"But I didn't expect Xia Wuzhao to ask such a question."

"I haven't thought about where I'm going at all."

"I don't know where I should go. This is such a rare opportunity."

"But what if I make a bad suggestion?"

The girl was hesitating in her heart.

"I haven't decided yet."

Aoi said those words without thinking, and felt relieved afterward.

She smiled and said, "You're asking too hastily. I haven't decided where to go yet."

"Feel sorry."

Xia Wuzhao said this seriously.

This left Aoi somewhat flustered, and she quickly replied, "What's there to apologize for, Natsugiri?"

"There's absolutely no need to apologize."

Even though the girl said it, Xia Wuzhao did not take it back.

Asahi Aoi calmed down from her panic and patted Natsugiri's shoulder with a hint of reproach.

What you just said really startled me.

The girl was a little annoyed: "They keep saying sorry and stuff, but I don't understand at all."

"That 'sorry' sounds like you're apologizing for something else."

"But what has he done that requires an apology?"

"I don't understand, and I don't know."

"I just felt something was strange, even a subconscious resistance."

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai, her chestnut eyes revealing a serious light.

"Natsumura, next time, please don't say that."

Chapter 306 That Beautiful Day

After finishing all her work that evening, Asahi Aoi lay down on her bed.

She was wearing pajamas and looking at her phone screen sideways.

Asahi: Can I ask you a question? Chiho.

Chiho: What do you want to ask?

But Aoi paused for a moment and did not answer.

She placed her phone face down next to her pillow, she thought.

"Is it really okay to ask Chiho this question?"

Sit up and open the window.

The outside was completely blocked by tall trees, and only glimpses of the sky could be seen through the shade.

The dripping sound seemed to come from nowhere.

Kirishima Chiho looked out through the closed window and saw that the dense raindrops had turned the window into frosted glass.

I glanced at my phone, which still hadn't received any messages.

Chiho Kirishima chuckled and asked, "Is it related to Natsugiri?"

Asahi: No.

Asahi: Since tomorrow is Sunday, I want to go out and have some fun. But I don't know where to go, so I wanted to ask you for advice.

After sending the message, Asahi Aoi put her phone down again and looked at it over and over.

The raindrops outside the window were getting heavier.

"If it rains again tomorrow, I guess I'll have to stay home."

He murmured.

The girl suddenly felt a sense of relief.

—Because staying at home all the time is not a bad thing.

On the contrary, this is even a good thing.

"Because this is a world just for Xia Wu and me."

The girl thought to herself, then looked out the window again.

Fine raindrops seeped into the room through the window, making the curtains slightly damp.

She got up and closed the window.

The phone beeped once, and the screen, which had been off, lit up again.

Kirishima: How about visiting a nearby shrine or temple? Autumn is the perfect time to see the autumn leaves. Although there aren't any famous places nearby, there are many small temples and shrines that are quite interesting.

Asahi: Yes, I understand. Thank you.

Kirishima: So you're planning to go out with Natsugiri, aren't you?

Asahi: No. I was just asking casually.

Kirishima: Shall I go ask Natsugiri?

Asahi: If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll try to invite Natsugiri.

Kirishima: It won't rain tomorrow, that's what the weather forecast says.

Asahi: Yeah, I'm going to sleep now.

After replying, she prepared to turn off her phone.

However, Kirishima replied to the message very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

It's almost as if it was written in advance.

Kirishima: Well, I'll be waiting for you at school tomorrow. But it always feels like we have to go to school to meet up. It's a bit of a roundabout way. It would be nice if we could meet at Natsugiri's house, then we wouldn't have to travel so far.

Asahi: I think the school is pretty good.

Kirishima: Heh heh, Aoi, you're not entirely true to yourself.

Asahi: Time for bed! Goodbye!

Aoi placed her phone face down on the bed and lay down.

Listening to the damp and gloomy sound of rain outside: "I wish it would still be raining tomorrow."

"It probably won't rain tomorrow."

Kirishima Chiho sat in a chair, looking at the rain outside the window.

She looked at Asahi's reply on her phone and found it somewhat amusing.

"Aoi is still the same as always."

He stretched vigorously and walked to the wardrobe to look at it.

The wardrobe was filled with a dazzling array of clothes, but it caused Chiho some distress.

She didn't really like wearing such complicated clothes, and another idea popped into the girl's head: "Or, should I wear the school uniform?"

I thought about it that way, but in the end I gave up on the idea.

After searching carefully, she found a similar dress and cardigan. After a brief look, she thought it was okay.

After hanging it up beside her, Kirishima Chiho returned to her bed to prepare for sleep.

The rain stopped in the morning, and when Xia Wuzhao opened the window, she found the air to be unexpectedly fresh.

There was a pure and clean feeling everywhere.

Xiao Ai muttered to Xia Wuzhao, "Today is already November 11th."

While Xia Wuzhao was washing up, she reminded her, "The 20th is Asahi Aoi's birthday. You can't forget."

After washing up, Xia Wuzhao said, "I haven't forgotten."

"Have you prepared a gift yet?" Xiao Ai asked in return. "The gift should ideally be unique. One-of-a-kind, handmade would be best."

Xiao Ai sighed again as she spoke.

"That ring would actually be the best birthday gift. But Lady Natsugiri, you already gave it to Asahi. And there wasn't any special reason for it."

"Only lovers give rings when proposing," Xia Wuzhao replied calmly. "Friends don't usually give rings on special occasions."

"So, what gift does Lady Xiawu intend to give?"

Xiao Ai was very confused.

"There's nothing to give as a gift."

Xia Wuzhao answered this question with ease.

"Hey, Natsugiri-sama, if you don't do anything on Asahi Aoi's birthday, she'll be really, really sad."

Xia Wuzhao did not answer, but went downstairs.

"Breakfast is ready."

Aoi Asahi poked her head out of the kitchen and called out to Natsugiri Kai.

The two brought breakfast to the kitchen and ate together.

"The rain has stopped today."

She said casually, "It rained so hard last night, I thought it would last a long time."

"Isn't this a good thing?"
