Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Sakuraba Jianyue narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you say that your hometown has beautiful scenery? I brought a camera."

The tone sounded as if he was about to become impatient, and Oreki Gen immediately reacted.

"Ah...Mom, I'm going to go outside with her to take some photos or something, so I might not be back for lunch."

"Okay, be careful. You are a boy so you have to take good care of Miss Sakuraba. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it."

I quickly changed my shoes and went out, and the natural scent of the countryside hit me in the face.

The two of them walked on a country road that was not very flat, but not too rugged either.

Oreki Gen helped hold the camera and looked at Sakuraba Mitsuki who was walking neither fast nor slow and seemed to be in a good mood.

"How is it? Does it feel different from Sakura?"

When Sakuraba Mitsuki heard the boy's voice, he frowned subconsciously, as if the boy had disturbed his good mood.

She turned her face away.

"It's OK. There are birds singing and cicadas chirping everywhere in the countryside, and many people are chatting. Occasionally you can hear pigs squealing."

Oreki looked around.

"Where are the pigs? I didn't hear anything."

As a result, he saw the girl looking at him straight, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

Oreki Gen reacted immediately and thought, this is talking about him?

"You better have seen a pig as handsome as me."

Sakuraba Jianyue snorted disdainfully.

"I want to take some photos and use them as materials when I get back. Take me to a place with higher ground. I can't capture the feeling here."

Oreki Gen shook his head.

"I'm sorry, pigs can't lead the way."

Sakuraba Jianyue reached out and grabbed the boy's waist.

With a very threatening look.

"Lead the way, or take off your clothes and stand in the field so I can draw you a sketch. You choose one. Pigs don't wear clothes anyway, right?"

"..."

How come this guy can't take a joke?

8: A Little Story in the Rain (Additional Chapter 17)

"Hu...Ha...Oreki Gen."

"Ok?"

"Ha...ha...huh...I'd better be satisfied with the scenery, otherwise I will push you off."

With Oreki Ken's current physical condition, climbing up such a small hill was a fairly easy task. It could even be said that he was still not satisfied.

But for the beautiful girl behind him, this does not seem to be the case.

Sakuraba Mizuki's figure is indeed quite healthy, without any extra fat, and her body is well-proportioned with a perfect beauty.

But the amount of exercise must not be too great.

Although Oreki Gen knew in the original work that this girl had the habit of exercising regularly, such as swimming and tennis, it was obvious that this rugged mountain road still caused a lot of trouble.

"Then I'll drag you along, Miss."

He said this and then stretched out his hand. This was the last section of the road and there was a small slope. He didn't think the other party could get up smoothly and easily at this time.

Although Sakuraba Mitsuki is very stubborn and refuses to admit defeat or bow her head, at this moment, she cannot refuse the hand extended by the other party and she really does not want to be more tired.

So she held the boy's hand, feeling the slender warmth of his palm, and with a little effort, the girl, who was not heavy to begin with, was lifted up by Oreki Gen.

The view that was originally surrounded by trees was suddenly opened up.

White clouds are floating lightly in the sky, and the sunlight shines through unhindered.

Especially the wind blowing from the top of the mountain.

It was as if all the boredom just now was blown away in an instant, and the room felt exceptionally open, which was a unique feeling that air conditioning in a closed room could not bring.

Oreki Gen had already let go of the girl's hand. He walked alone to an open space in front and then turned around.

“I’m not sure if you will be disappointed, but this was indeed my favorite scenery when I was a child.”

The girl frowned, but still walked towards Oreki Tsune's location.

The wind blew towards her, ruffling the girl's hair.

It was not a magnificent scene. There was no sea, no snow-capped mountains, and no golden waves of wheat.

But what can you see?

I saw the roads that seemed to be written across the countryside, and the rows of houses of different heights and sizes.

You can see neat farmland and occasional crowds of people.

Some are riding bicycles, and some are working hard.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling of this scene. This couldn't be considered a beautiful scene, right? But why...

"When I was a kid, I liked to come here and sit and daydream whenever I felt sad or in a bad mood. Actually, I know that my hometown is not a very beautiful place, nor is it a tourist attraction, but it seems that just sitting here has enough power to soothe people's hearts, at least it is enough to make the young me feel that I really exist in this world and that I am still alive."

The boy's plain words passed by my ears.

Sakuraba Mitsuki turned his head to look at the boy, and just at that moment, Oreki Genki turned his head and was smiling at him.

Sakuraba Mitsuki had to admit that he was a special enough existence in a big city like Sakura City, and here, he seemed to be the real Oreki Genji.

She had never seen it, but she seemed to be able to imagine how Oreki Gen sat here in his childhood, holding a dogtail grass, watching the afterglow of the sunset alone.

"Don't get complacent too soon... the scenery looks like this."

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Yeah, that's true. Do you want to take some pictures? Or should I take you somewhere else?"

The girl frowned and held out her hand.

"Give me the camera. I don't want to go anywhere else. I'm a little tired. Let's stay here."

Still looking insincere.

At least it proves that she is quite satisfied with this place.

The girl took photos for a while, and Oreki Ken also took some time to take out his mobile phone to take some photos. However, he had not yet decided who to send them to, and he did not have the habit of posting social media updates frequently, so he just saved them for the time being.

Finally, Sakuraba Kentsuki stopped moving. He turned around and saw Oreki Gen sitting on a rock, looking aimlessly into the distance.

He held a small white flower in his hand, and seemed to be pinching it unconsciously and turning it slightly.

He seemed to be in a daze.

The distant sky and white clouds, and the sunlight shining on his body seemed to form a line.

He didn't have any special expression, nor was he smiling. He was just in a daze. It was this scene that made Sakuraba Mizuki couldn't help but pick up the camera again and take a picture of him.

No need to pick angles or adjust poses, it just is.

The man picking flowers is a beautiful young man from Baishe Township. He is an eye-catching boy among the cherry blossoms, and when he returns to Baishe Township, he seems to be the child favored by this land.

"Would you like to sit down?"

When Oreki Gen saw the other person coming over, he made some space for him.

But Sakuraba Jianyue frowned and said, "Put your clothes on top."

Oreki Gen said with amusement: "I'm only wearing this one, do I need to give it to you as a cushion? You can sit on it if you want."

It seems that young people nowadays are particularly confident in rejecting themselves.

Sakuraba Mitsuki walked straight towards Oreki Gen and sat down.

Of course he didn't sit on the stone, he sat directly on Oreki Gen's legs.

It was like a cat, crawling into the arms of its owner.

Of course, the girl who raised her head and stretched out her slender neck was not a cat trying to please her master. Instead, she looked at Oreki Gen's slightly stunned face with a smug provocation.

Oreki Xian felt the girl's warm body, and the delicate touch made his heart beat faster and his blood boil.

"Do you like sticking to me so much?"

The boy said with a smile.

Sakuraba Mizuki reached out and gently pinched Oreki Gen's ear.

"What if I want to hold you and fall down together at this moment?"

Well... this stone is indeed a little close to the edge. But if she really wants to resist, she probably won't have the chance.

"Then I am not at a disadvantage. After all, you are a rich lady, and I am just a country boy. Your life is much more precious than mine no matter how you think about it."

Sakuraba Mitsuki stroked the boy's ears with his fingers and looked at his face closely.

"Is this what you mean by people may be noble or humble, but love is never humble?"

Oreki nodded: "You can think so."

Sakuraba Jianyue raised her head slightly and looked at the cloud that looked like a sheep.

"But if the love I want is for you to bow down to me."

Oreki Xian gently stretched out his hand, as if to hug the other person's delicate waist, but in fact he was doing it to prevent the other person from falling suddenly due to an accident.

Sakuraba Mizuki, who noticed the other party's little action, did not refuse.

She heard Oreki Gen said in a light tone: "I bow to you, maybe because of your power, maybe because of your status, maybe because of many, many things... Of course, I will bow down and tolerate because of love. But it will not be forever. If it has always been like this, do you think it is love or something else?"

This young man always seems to have such power, as if everything he says makes perfect sense.

But Sakuraba Mitsuki didn't want to give in.

She stretched out her hands, held up Oreki Gen's face, and looked down at the boy. Her lowered eyes were like the gaze of a goddess looking down on a mortal.

"If that's the case, then love isn't an important thing."

Oreki looked at her perfect face and said helplessly, "Why do you have to test me with these things?"

The girl sneered and moved closer to the other's face, closer to his lips that had offended her that morning.

"If I must have a man to spend my life with...why don't I choose an interesting one, one that doesn't make me bored? Then conquer him little by little, tame him little by little...this is an interesting process, which can answer your question."

It's really watertight.

Oreki Gen watched the other party approaching, as if he realized something. Forget it, he was too lazy to refute the other party's obsession.

Now the surroundings were peaceful and he didn't want to argue.

But at the moment when the girl's lips were about to fall.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly, interrupting what the two were about to do.

Oreki Xian looked up and found that the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds without him noticing, and the sun seemed to have hidden away in an instant.

"Is it going to rain?"

Sakuraba Jianyue frowned, they didn't bring an umbrella.

Oreki Gen nodded, then quickly stood up with the girl.

"This is the weather here, especially in summer, when there are many thunderstorms. Let's go down quickly. If it's really a heavy rainstorm, it will be difficult to get down the mountain in a while."

The girl did not refuse, she also hated the feeling of being wet by the rain.

Although the two people reacted quickly, they still underestimated the unpredictable weather. In an instant, heavy rain poured down as if there was a hole in the sky.
