Social phobia and lonely rock

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought she had given up, so he continued looking for the book.

It's just cold and lonely, she said suddenly.

"If we're dating, can you send it once a week?"

The air conditioner in the used bookstore was humming, and the indoor wind it created shook the wind chimes, which made a crisp sound after being touched for a long time.

The sudden sound seemed to wake people up from their afternoon tiredness.

Ishikawa Hayabusa stopped flipping the pages of the book and turned sideways in surprise and hesitation.

He looked at Liang, only to find that Liang was already staring at him quietly.

Her golden pupils were calm and pure, without revealing any color except for exploration. Ishikawa Hayabusa tried hard to see but couldn't discern a single thought in her mind.

Moreover, her thoughts jumped too quickly this time, and Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't judge her seriousness based on the context.

He asked cautiously.

"Which is more important, the first part or the second part?"

"Don't tell you."

Liang started flipping through the book again.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that she was avoiding his sight. Her mind was not on the book at all, and even her eyes were fixed on the part on her side between the two of them.

After hesitating for a moment, Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't bother to observe her reaction. He just looked at the book in front of him and said.

"I have absolutely no problem with that, but there is one thing, even though Kita won't let me say it, I still want to make it clear at this time."

"Ah."

"I'm dating Kita."

"Ah."

Liang's voice still didn't feel any emotion in it.

"Is it okay even if it's like this?"

"It won't affect my meal ticket, right?"

Ryo was observing Ishikawa Hayabusa, but Ishikawa Hayabusa tried not to pay attention to Ryo.

After knowing her thoughts, he was afraid that he would use his superhuman observation skills to give the "correct" answer.

"It doesn't affect it."

"That's fine."

As she spoke, the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground was heard.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked to his side and saw Ryo squatting with his hands on his knees, staring at him as if observing him.

And the expression on her face at that moment was the first time he saw it.

The corners of his eyes were not raised as usual, but drooped a little in disappointment, and at the same time with a softness, and the look in his eyes showed concern and worry.

Her eyes were like a bottle of deep, swaying wine, making one unable to help but observe the ripples in her movement.

The curved eyelashes just lock the color.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't know what expression to use to face her. He sighed and then smiled.

"Well, hello, girlfriend."

"Asshole, boyfriend."

There was no anger in her voice, it seemed as if she was just complaining softly.

After watching Liang finish speaking, Ishikawa Hayabusa continued looking for a book, but his movements were a little rougher than before.

He said.

"Since Liang has agreed, there is still one more thing."

Liang stopped what he was doing, didn't look at him, and listened patiently.

"Kita said that if anyone else in the band dated me, we would automatically break up."

"casual."

Her dissatisfaction did not diminish, and it was obvious that she was not sulking because he was already dating multiple people.

129. Shadow

Fragmentary and similar experiences are difficult to preserve for a long time; only different and emotionally profound memories are easy to remain in our hearts.

Liang felt that even if a long time passed, the experiences of this semester would not sink into the sea called the past as easily as in the past.

The beginning of it all is still fresh in her memory.

Being in the place where she had stayed when they first met made her recall every scene quickly.

That was when she and Hongxia had just decided to form a band and recruit members.

A boy who seemed to have just run away from the school sports club suddenly came to her and Hongxia and asked to join the band.

At that time, she suspected that the boy joined with the intention of becoming more popular.

After talking for a while, she agreed when she saw that he simply wanted to learn.

But later she discovered that the other person was an outlier among ordinary people.

An abnormal person who follows his heart.

But he was of the same kind as her, and then she had some desire to contact and understand him.

But the outliers are often the most dangerous. People who have abnormal ideas and little contact with others have always been the most dangerous.

However, after learning about his past and performing for the first time, she was sure.

This outlier is someone who truly hopes that everything will get better. Even though he said weird things like wanting to build a harem, relatively speaking, things are already pretty good.

She gradually tried to get closer to him.

This is a rare harmless species.

After going to the suburbs with him for the first time, she felt the ease of being with him and the increasing tacit understanding between the two of them, and she felt a sense of happiness in peace.

And later, I met his past and the friends who were still willing to come to see his performances after that situation.

Only then did she determine what kind of person this person was, and clearly realized that this person might be a rare person with whom she could get along and feel comfortable.

It's not just about getting along, but about being able to cooperate with each other.

She knew very well that this feeling was not one-sided. They were not just coordinating steps unilaterally, but both parties naturally accepted each other's existence.

But she also realized that this man was serious about building a harem.

She had thought that perhaps after some time, either she would give up her insistence or the other party would choose to give up the harem. No matter what the form, the two of them would eventually be together naturally.

But in the end, she was still worried about accidents and chose to give up early.

But I didn't expect that I was still a step slower.

The first one to date.

It should be her.

...

Hearing Liang's tone that showed he didn't care about his multiple relationships, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not show any happiness.

He probably knew how the other person felt.

He didn't continue to provoke Liang here.

Instead, continue looking for books.

He paused until he found a book, then took it directly to the boss to pay.

After he came back, Liangtou asked without turning his head.

"found it?"

"No, there is an old book that I care about."

After a long time, I finally found the textbook that the boss mentioned and that I had a vague impression of in a corner.

The two left the second-hand bookstore one after the other.

As soon as he walked out of the bookstore, Liang yawned.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back first."

She said this without even looking at Ishikawa Hayabusa, and turned and left before she finished her words.

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that this was how Liang usually dealt with his down time.

But in this situation, it is extremely rare that she is not angry. If you try to disturb her mood, it will make her dissatisfied.

The best option is to let her go and then compensate her.

But even after being sure of this, Ishikawa Hayabusa still went forward.

Her concession was not a reason for him to ignore her. He also knew that under the circumstances, it was impossible to let go of the grudge in Liang's heart with just a few words. Instead, it might make her explode.

Before she stepped out of the cool shadow, Ishikawa Hayabusa grabbed her hand.

He saw the hot light coming through the cracks in the house, shining her hair brightly, and after her hand was held, she remained stiff and motionless.

In the dull air of the summer afternoon, Ishikawa Hayabusa asked for help.

"Just listen to me like this."

Liang took back the half step he had taken, but did not look back.

"I am really sorry for this situation, I accept it in advance..."

Liang suddenly interrupted him, she said in an angry but reminder tone.

"You can hide it from me."

After she finished speaking, Ishikawa Hayabusa slowed down a few beats before speaking in a very calm tone.

"Does Ryo think it's appropriate?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa doesn't like to hide things, especially big things. He only tells so-called white lies to children.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liang's back and saw that she suddenly became quiet. After a moment, her shoulders relaxed and she let out a long breath.

"If you like people who are similar to you, you will get into all kinds of trouble."

She turned around as if she accepted it, and the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

"I'm sorry for getting angry without your permission."

"No, I was wrong. As a playboy, I actually made Liang feel unhappy during the relationship."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said this seriously.

He knew very well that he had failed to comfort her, but she had let go of her annoyance on her own and even apologized to him. Is this the margin of freedom that a sister should have?

Liang gave him a look of disdain, as if to say, "Listen to what you are saying."

Without waiting for Ishikawa Hayabusa to say anything, she stretched out her little hands and fanned herself.

"So hot."

"Now that you're full, why don't you go back and listen to the CD?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa cooperated with her weakly.

"The boss will think we are weird."

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that she was no longer angry, but she was deliberately teasing him.

He shook Liang's hand, which he had been holding, and said coquettishly.

"Sister Liang~"
