Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

With a nervous mood, Ozawa Haruno waited for the girl to arrive in the quiet and deserted place behind the teaching building after school.

He was somewhat relieved that the other party did not stand him up and did not forget the matter.

But inevitably I felt nervous and anxious.

She was like the sunshine that could always shine into the cracks in his life and the weakest part of his heart, and walked in front of him.

Her expression was the same as it was with everyone else, gentle and graceful.

"Mr. Ozawa asked me to come over. Is there something you want to talk about?"

She asked with a smile.

Once he saw the other person's smiling face, Ozawa Haruno felt speechless.

He clenched his fists.

He knew that he could no longer regret his decision at this moment, and he also knew that he had to muster up all his courage at this moment.

People often say that youth is sour, regretful, but also passionate.

It's not because of the mistakes we have made, how ridiculous and regrettable those childish actions are, but because we all know that in the future, we may not have the opportunity to make mistakes and the courage to take risks again.

It was difficult for Ozawa Haruno to smile normally. He even felt that the way he looked at the other person at this moment completely betrayed himself.

He said with an effort of smile.

"Yukino-san...I want to know...if..."

if...

Still using such a cowardly word.

"If I like you...will I have a chance?"

When he said these words in front of the other person's clear eyes, Ozawa Haruno felt that all the strength in his body had been drained.

His hands and feet were numb, and his brain was probably congested.

He even felt that he could not control his body and could not stand normally in the same place.

I was completely confused.

But he also saw that the other person's expression did not change at all, still gentle and elegant, as if his emotions were not shaken at all.

As expected...she already knew?

Sayuri Yukino looked at the boy in front of her calmly.

Not very familiar, but certainly not unfamiliar, after all, he is my classmate.

But she didn't need too much time to think at this moment, she just considered her words.

"Mr. Ozawa, I remember you said that your aspiration is Sakura University, right?"

"...Do you remember?"

Ozawa Haruno was a little surprised that the other party remembered what he had deliberately said in front of the girl a few days ago. With his grades, it wouldn't be easy. He would need to study very hard and perform normally.

But why did she remember it? The reason why she didn't answer herself directly was because she hoped to...

"I just remembered that my memory is pretty good. I hope Ozawa can realize his dream and study hard during this period."

Then the girl said these words with a smile, her words sounded gentle.

But my heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom.

Sometimes no answer is the best answer.

In fact, everyone knows what it means when you ask the most direct question to the person you most want to ask, but that person does not answer you directly.

It's like you couldn't help but send a message to someone late at night, but you didn't get a reply. You should know it.

It’s not that she didn’t see it, nor that she didn’t answer.

Not answering is answering.

But...Ozawa Haruno was somewhat unwilling to accept this, or rather, he needed a final conclusion, a response that he could accept completely.

"So what Yukino-san means is..."

Sayuri Yukino nodded slightly.

"Well, sorry."

"...Ah, so that's how it is. No, it's okay. I know there's no hope for someone like me, but I didn't expect you to actually come..."

Ozawa Haruno tried his best to use his smile to ease the bitterness in his heart.

He also knew that the way he was gesticulating and at a loss must look funny, like a clown.

But he didn't want her to feel sorry for rejecting him.

Sayuri Yukino just smiled and replied.

"Because I think it's not easy for people to muster up courage, and sometimes we should respect other people's bravery. So I think you'd be better off with a formal answer."

How could there be such a perfect secret crush in Sayuri Yukino?

Ozawa Haruno thought with emotion.

Although the other person's words would not make her feel any less bitter, but... she gave herself dignity.

She is really gentle.

She is a true angel.

She didn't leave hooks to catch fish like many other bad women, nor did she show impatience and disgust towards herself, turning her failed confession experience into a memory that she couldn't bear to look back on.

It's just a pity that she is Sayuri Yukino and I am just Ozawa Haruno...

"I understand. Thank you, Yukino-san. I wish you happiness every day."

"Okay, then...bye."

"goodbye..."

The moment he saw her turn around, Ozawa Haruno clearly felt what regret meant.

What is a broken heart.

Is this youth? It really tastes like a green apple.

But she hadn't gone far yet, and Ozawa Haruno sighed.

"Hmm? Oreki String!"

"Damn! You scared me... Why is the senior hiding here? Are you trying to scare people?"

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? I hid it specifically to catch you. Now get ready to be arrested by me!"

"Don't put your hands into other people's collars in the middle of winter, hiss!!"

"Don't run! Don't run!!"

A receding figure.

The laughter faded away.

It was as if it was designed specifically to make oneself see the picture that one hoped for, but it was appearing on someone else.

Oreki String...?

The name sounded familiar, I didn't know him, but he looked very handsome... at least more worthy of the girl than me.

But his vision couldn't help but become a little blurry.

He couldn't help but take out his cell phone.

"Hey... Longchuan..."

"Hmm? Aren't you going to confess your feelings, Ozawa? You...wait! You're not crying, are you?"

"No! I...I just really want to drink, that's all, I'm not crying, wuwuwuwu..."

----

"Senior sister didn't appear there just for me, did she?"

Oreki Gen did notice something. Of course, he was not omniscient and could only think of some possibilities when he saw a young man wiping his eyes and sneaking away.

Sayuri Yukino seemed to be in a normal mood, and she was still sweet and pretty as she walked beside Oreki Gen.

“Oreki-san, do you really hope that I’m there for you?”

"Of course not, but why did you change the name again?"

Oreki Gen didn't know why this girl liked to change her name so much.

Sometimes it's Oreki-kun, sometimes it's Oreki-san, and now it's Oreki-kun.

Sayuri Yukino thought about it for a moment.

"Is it better to call you Xiaoxian?"

"It's even weirder!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Sayuri Yukino laughed happily. It was a handsome behavior to laugh wildly in the sunset.

Especially when he saw her like this, Oreki Ken would be reminded of those beautiful girls who were not frank.

Frankness is such a rare quality.

"Xiao Xian, you know that it's annoying to look at a woman and think about other women, right?"

Sayuri Yukino blinked at Oreki Gen.

Oreki Gen’s face turned red.

"No way... and don't call me that weirdly."

"Okay little string."

"...You are amazing."

"Has Xiaoxian ever been confessed to?"

she asked suddenly.

Oreki Gen didn't bother to care how the other person called her. As long as she was happy, it was fine. The mouth was on her face anyway... I really wanted to tear it off!

"So, Senior was confessed to just now?"

“Is it polite to answer a question with a question?”

"Oh...I have received a love confession letter."

"How do you feel?"

Sayuri Yukino seemed a little curious.

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

"At first, I might feel a little bit happy, thinking that I am really attractive, and then my vanity is satisfied. But later, I don't feel anything anymore."

“Won’t that be a burden?”

"Will there be? Is being liked by others... something that should be a burden? They don't affect my life. They just like this handsome and charming me. What's wrong with them?"

"...It's amazing, junior."

"I'm gentle, right?"

"You are really shameless."

Oreki Gen rolled his eyes.

Sayuri Yukino smiled and took two steps forward with the other party, and the cold wind blew towards them.

She let out a long sigh.

"It seems like you don't really care about me being confessed to."

"Why should I care? This is your business."

Oreki Gen replied calmly.
