When he put down his phone, it was already past one in the morning.

Gudong Gudong~

The sound of drinking drinks came from the side.

"Why are you still here instead of going home to sleep?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke noticed that his childhood sweetheart was sitting on the sofa in a duck sitting position, looking at him.

Nibutani Morika put down the can of soda, pursed her lips, and said aggrievedly: "I can't go back after my mother locked the door. She should be asleep now. Ryosuke, you don't want me to sleep on the street, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Ryosuke stood up expressionlessly, took the key, and prepared to open the door next door.

Not long after, he returned to his home.

After verification, it was found that Senxia was not lying and she was really locked outside.

Looking at Morixia who was looking expectant on the sofa, he sighed softly, "You can sleep at my house tonight. I'll make the bed for you."

When Nibutani Morika heard the other party's words, she did not hide the joy on her face.

She smiled and said, "Don't bother. I can just sleep in your bed."

In fact, the clever girl had already contacted her mother and locked the door when Ryosuke was replying to other people's emails.

She couldn't go home now, so this was a plan she came up with on the spur of the moment.

There was no way Ryosuke would really let a girl sleep on the streets.

It was even more impossible to just throw her over from the balcony.

So Ryosuke had only one choice, which was to let her stay overnight.

Not long after, Ryosuke Hiratsuka took a quilt and a pillow and threw them on the sofa.

Nibutani Morika smiled and said considerately: "Ryosuke, you don't have to sleep on the sofa, we can just sleep on the bed together, isn't it like this before?"

Hey, I haven’t slept in that bed for a long time.

But the girl's smile quickly froze on her face.

After throwing down the quilt, Ryosuke Hiratsuka walked to the bedroom door without hesitation.

Finally, before he closed the bedroom door, he looked back.

He said to the girl outside the door expressionlessly: "Don't think too much, you will sleep on the sofa tonight."

Chapter 170: Because We Can't Wait for That Meteor

In the quiet of the night, one can almost hear one's own heartbeat.

But this peace and silence did not make Senxia fall asleep.

She lay on the sofa, tossing and turning with the quilt between her legs.

I haven't stayed next door for many years, and I didn't expect Ryosuke to become so cruel now.

He actually let her, a lovely girl, sleep alone on the sofa.

Thinking of this, Nibutani Morika sat up from the sofa and glanced at Ryosuke's bedroom door.

Now that we are here, we can't just do nothing.

Her eyes rolled around and she lifted the quilt, revealing a pair of perfectly shaped white and tender feet in the night air.

The girl put on her slippers, tiptoed off the sofa, and stealthily walked to Ryosuke's bedroom door and stopped.

Morixia grabbed the door handle and pressed it down gently, but the door did not open as she expected.

She continued twisting it twice, and faint black lines appeared on her forehead.

What does Ryosuke mean by this?

He clearly never locked the door before sleeping.

I locked the door tonight specifically to prevent someone from coming.

Damn it, just a door, you think you can stop Lord Mori from moving forward?

She was very familiar with the layout of Ryosuke's house, so she walked to the utility room with ease.

Utility room.

Even the places where miscellaneous items were piled up were kept tidy by Ryosuke, who was very good at housework.

Senxia’s goal was clear: to find a thin wire.

She has a golden-haired loli friend who wishes to remain anonymous and has maxed out her lock-picking skill, so she took the opportunity to learn it.

As a new era neon middle school student.

Even if you can't open the high-end anti-theft door at the entrance, it's reasonable to use a thin wire to open a bedroom door, right?

Senxia rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the utility room and finally found a thin wire.

As she happily held the wire and prepared to walk out.

thump~

A dull sound rang out in the silent night.

Her clothes accidentally brought a cardboard box from the shelf to the ground.

"What is this?" The girl frowned slightly and squatted down with some confusion.

The small cardboard box was filled with some old items.

Nibutani Morika picked up a delicate and small bamboo dragonfly from the ground.

This was made for her by Ryosuke himself with a knife.

She thought that she had lost the bamboo dragonfly when she was out playing, but she didn't expect it to be here.

His eyes moved to another old object, which was a simple megaphone made of two paper cups and a thin wire.

When I was in elementary school, it was evening.

She and Ryosuke often sit on their respective balconies and communicate through this small prop.

There is also another megaphone in Nibutani Morika's treasure chest.

……

One old object after another constantly awakens long-forgotten memories in the girl's mind.

Finally she moved her gaze to a pile of paper airplanes.

The paper of these paper airplanes has turned yellow due to the erosion of time.

She picked up one of the paper airplanes, held its wings with her hands, and gently unfolded the paper airplane from the middle.

The back of the paper airplane was covered with crooked words written in colored crayons.

She recognized the words; they were her handwriting as a child.

"I hope I can become a super cute beautiful girl in the future."

The corners of Senxia's mouth curled up slightly. Did I have such thoughts when I was a child?

She refolded the paper airplane in her hand and opened another one.

“I hope I can grow up quickly.”

Senxia shook her head, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. This should be a wish that every child has had.

These paper airplanes seemed to bring her back to her childhood.

So she picked up a paper airplane and unfolded it.

But this time, she just opened it and immediately closed it with a red face.

The words on the paper plane were: "I want to be Ryosuke's bride when I grow up."

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, luckily Ryosuke was not there.

Otherwise, if he saw these things now, he would definitely laugh at her.

Morixia put down the paper plane that made her blush and continued to look down.

The paper planes scattered on the ground brought her thoughts back to her childhood.

……

It was a midsummer night in the second grade of elementary school.

"Ryosuke!" Morika stood on her balcony and shouted in a childish voice across the iron railings.

Not long after, Hiratsuka Ryosuke appeared on the balcony on the other side.

He frowned and asked, "What? I haven't finished my homework yet."

Nibutani Morika did not answer, but smiled and threw a paper cup from her balcony to the next door.

Ryosuke caught the paper cup easily and put it next to his ear.

The balconies of the two families are only two meters apart, so even normal conversations can be heard.

As a result, after watching a certain animation, Mori Xia insisted on pestering him to be her mouthpiece.

Morixia's pleasant voice soon came from the simple megaphone.

"Ryosuke, I saw on the news that there will be a meteor shower tonight. Would you like to watch it with me?"

The girl's soft whispers seemed to be whispered softly into his ears.

After listening to this, Hiratsuka Ryosuke first looked up at the sky, then put the paper cup to his mouth.

When Morixia saw the other person's actions, she covered her ears with the paper cup in her hand.

In the receiver, Ryosuke's voice was as cold and clear as a spring in a snowy mountain.

"We don't see that in this area. Give it up. I have to continue doing my homework."

After Hiratsuka Ryosuke finished speaking, he threw the megaphone back to the balcony next door.

Upon hearing this, Mori Xia stood there in a daze, and was completely unaware of the paper cup hitting her on the head.

after an hour.

After finishing his homework, Ryosuke returned to the balcony to get some fresh air.

But he found Morixia sitting alone on the balcony.

The girl propped up her face with her hands and stared blankly at the night sky.

Expectation and disappointment, two supposedly contradictory emotions, were written on her face at the same time.

Ryosuke called softly, "Morika."

The girl next door turned her head slowly when she heard the voice and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Ryosuke looked into the other person's eyes and asked seriously, "Do you really want to see a shooting star?"

Sen Xia pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed, and she muttered softly, "If you can't see the meteor shower, you can't make a wish. I still have a lot of wishes that haven't come true."

Is that why?

Meteors are beautiful, but they keep burning themselves while running and disappear in the night sky in a flash.

Ryosuke naturally also knew some legends about meteors.

But rather than making a wish on a fleeting shooting star, which is a vague idea, he believes more in the power of human beings.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke took out a coin from his pocket and looked at the girl next to him.

He showed the coin in his hand and said calmly: "Senxia, ​​the time has come to decide your fate. If you guess right, I will take you to watch the meteor shower tonight."

Hearing this, Mori Xia's eyes lit up again and she exclaimed, "Really?!"

She had an almost blind trust in the boy next door.

Even if this sounds outrageous, she is willing to believe the other party.

Ryosuke nodded and tossed the coin in his hand.
