Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"In every aspect! Are you an idiot, idiot brother?"

Oreki Gen smiled and looked at the twinkling stars outside and said.

"What else can I do? I haven't seen him recently. But school is about to start, so I should run into him at school."

"Eh? Haven't you guys seen each other recently?"

"Of course, why should we meet? We are not a couple."

It's not that there is no chance of meeting at all. At least Sakuraba Mitsuki often hinted to him that they should meet, but every time, Oreki Gen avoided the opportunity with various reasons.

Of course, it is impossible to hide forever. Oreki Gen is just trying to cool down the girl so that she won't think about those trivial things every day and drain herself.

"I see~ Hehe."

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm not laughing~Did you hear it wrong?"

Directly denied.

Oreki Gen smiled and said, "I hope I heard it wrong."

"Hehe~ You heard it wrong."

"Still not sleeping yet?"

Oreki Gen felt that the call should end here as there was no need to talk about anything else. Moreover, Oreki Gen was still a little worried that the girl would bring up the issues that he tried to avoid.

But as the saying goes, what you fear will come true.

The girl's next words came from the phone.

The voice was very soft, with a slight tremor.

"Wait a minute...By the way, you have been..."

"Me lately?"

"Um... did you miss me?"

Her voice was slightly trembling, and Oreki Gen seemed to be able to imagine how rosy the face of the girl holding the cell phone in another place must be at this moment.

Maybe it was because I was so nervous that I hugged the quilt, lay on the pillow, and clamped my legs tightly together.

It is indeed a difficult question.

Oreki Gen didn't know how to answer for a moment. There was a brief silence, during which he could clearly hear the other person's nervous breathing.

As expected, I don't want to hurt this girl at all...but they are brother and sister, and we can't let these things develop in a strange direction.

"Yeah... of course. I've only been away from home for a short time and I'm already missing you and mom and dad."

"Eh...what? Brother is so mean to say such things."

Obviously this is not what the girl wants to hear, but there is nothing wrong with it. After all, in Oreki Gen's mind, they are a family, so it is quite normal to say so.

But what girls want is uniqueness and special preference, not this kind of thing.

Oreki Gen said with a smile.

"Okay, what else do you want to hear? It's almost time to go to bed. Good night."

Since the other party is unwilling to end it, I might as well end it from my side.

Oreki Gen thought so.

Oreki Sakura didn't seem to have any other options. Although she was still a little reluctant, she could only speak in silence.

"Alright! If you don't want to talk to me, then I don't want to talk to you either, stupid brother!"

"Hahahaha, then I'll talk to you next time."

"I'm not going to answer your call! Good night!"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, just like every time before.

Oreki Gen took a deep breath as he looked at the gradually dimming screen.

Looking at the starry sky outside the window that seemed to have not changed at all, he didn't know how to properly deal with the existence of Oreki Sakura. This seemed to be something he had completely unexpected, and he was temporarily helpless.

what can we do about it?

You can't use the same methods against those girls to deal with her, not to mention...does she really have so many scenes in the original novel? Will she change like those heroines later? This is the most terrifying thing.

Oreki Gen just lay down and looked at the ceiling.

Turn off your phone and don't plan to reply to any messages from anyone.

So be it.

School is about to start the day after tomorrow, so let’s focus on the present.

I had a rare good and comfortable sleep without waking up or having any dreams.

The third day’s schedule was very simple. I had two hours of classes during the day and then took the bus home.

What was quite tacit this time was that no one had to leave the seat next to them empty, as a figure just sat down next to them calmly.

Oreki Gen turned his head and looked at Asagiri Ryou who was carrying a box and a school bag.

She changed her clothes into a white T-shirt and denim shorts.

There is a light fragrance on her long hair, which complements her cool temperament.

But when she sat down, she acted as if she didn't see herself, and she just picked up her phone and stared at it.

Until Oreki Gen kept staring at her, and couldn't help but blush when he saw this girl.

She turned back helplessly.

"What are you looking at?"

Oreki Gen smiled.

"You're very proactive today."

Asagiri Ran said unhappily: "What nonsense... There's just no other place to sit. Anyway, no one else is willing to sit next to you because they're afraid you'll be too pitiful."

"Hey, people's mouths should be hard after they die, right?"

"Fuck off!"

Oreki Gen smiled.

He did not mention what happened last night. Of course, this was what Asagiri Ran was most worried about. She was afraid that the boy would mention the details of last night. After all, looking back, her acting skills were so bad that there were many flaws.

Fortunately, Ole Muxian did not hesitate, but quickly followed the bus and leaned back in his chair, listening to the song quietly with his eyes closed.

I feel safe when he is quiet around me.

It's like a warm harbor that can anchor any dilapidated ship.

She originally thought that this training camp was a very boring and ordinary learning process... She didn't have any expectations, and even though she knew that the other party would go... She just felt a little strange.

But I didn't expect so many things to happen.

I didn't expect that this boy would become my hope again and again...

It seems that because of this boy's existence, this boring journey has some meaning and a reason to be stored in my memory...

That’s terrible, Asagiri Ran.

You have begun to break your promises to yourself over and over again.

But what to do? What will the future hold?

she does not know.

The bus stopped at a familiar place. That was the place where Asagiri Ran had asked to get off in advance. It was very close to her home, and of course...the boy next to her was also close to her home.

Watch him start to pack up his things.

Asagiri Ran calmed herself down, picked up her schoolbag, and prepared to bend down to pick up the slightly heavy box containing the telescope on the ground.

But it was another hand that was faster than mine and picked up the box.

She looked up in surprise and saw that Oreki Gen had easily picked up the box and stood up.

He was looking at her normally.

"What are you standing there for? Get out of the car."

According to her usual self, Asagiri Ran should have refused the other party's kind help at this moment, and then said that she could do it herself and did not need any help.

But her face turned unnaturally red for a moment, and then she turned her head away.

"Then we'll be leaving first. Goodbye, teachers and classmates."

"Be safe, Oreki-san and Asagiri-san."

The two got off the bus, and the bus quickly left in front of them and headed to the next stop without looking back.

There were only two people left. Oreki Gen didn't say much, and Asagiri Sang didn't know what to say either.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly on the two people, dragging their shadows towards this familiar street.

Oreki Gen was slightly ahead, while the girl was standing behind him, looking at his reliable back.

The sunlight was greedily kissing his cheeks and every strand of his hair.

There is a kind of unreasonable delusion, whether such a journey can continue forever, peaceful and quiet, without any communication.

It’s a pity that every journey has an end, and everyone has his or her own destination.

The first place to arrive was naturally one's own apartment.

Oreki Genji also stopped, turned around with a smile and handed the box in his hand to the other party.

"Okay, I'll give you the things, and I'm going home too."

Asagiri nodded, and the moment she took the box, her fingers inevitably touched the back of the other person's hand.

At that moment, it was like an electric current passing through, and a strange feeling penetrated into my heart.

Her ears turned red uncontrollably.

But then Oreki Genji let go of his hand.

The feeling disappeared so quickly, as if it had never existed.

She raised her head and looked at Oreki Gen who was about to turn around and leave.

"Oreki string."

She looked at the other person with her voice as calm as possible.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The boy turned around and looked at the girl curiously.

Asagiri Ran turned around to face the apartment, actually to avoid looking directly at the boy, and then reached out to tuck the hair by her ears.

"I now somewhat agree with what you said."

Oreki Gen looked at the girl who showed him her profile with amusement.

"Which one?"

"Our life is not always alone..."

This sentence...I remember I said it at the end of the semester, when I was leaving school.

"so what?"

Asagiri Ran felt her heartbeat quicken again. She tried to stay calm and spoke in the most normal tone.

"So... maybe we can be friends..."

She said this.

Oreki Gen seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he smiled at the girl.

"Well, I'll think about it. Bye."

"..."

Ok?
