Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Well known.

When you like someone, you can be as clingy as you want.

When you don't like something, you're polluting the air if you get a little closer.

So what about Asagiri Ran who heard this?

She is a smart girl.

I immediately sensed the subtext of Oreki Gen's words.

Suddenly his eyes became a little flustered and his cheeks turned red.

"What do you mean even I don't know... Who knows yours? You are a liar and a cheat... I don't know."

As she said this, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

As if this could hide my shyness and momentary helplessness.

"You also said that I like to act stupid, but I think you like to act stupid."

The girl stuffed a lot of food into her mouth at once and didn't care about etiquette anymore.

Said vaguely.

"This is so noisy!"

Oreki looked at him with amusement, then said with a smile: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke. It's not pleasant to go to the hospital in the middle of winter."

"Hmph..."

She snorted twice with unclear meaning, probably trying to tell him that she didn't need his care.

But in Oreki Gen's opinion, this scene looked a bit like a pretty little pig grunting.

The meal was eaten very quickly. Oreki Gen didn't cook too many dishes this time in order not to waste food. This was also a conclusion he came to after accumulating a lot of experience this month and understanding the approximate amount of food this girl eats.

"Want to go for a walk again?"

Oreki Gen finished this "housework punishment" and picked up what seemed to be the last bit of trash while looking at Asagiri Ran.

The girl glanced at Oreki Gen.

After she came back last time, she told herself that she would never go for a walk with him again.

But when he asked this question with a smile, his inner determination was easily shaken.

Oreki Gen looked at the beautiful girl who seemed to be in hesitation.

"Isn't this the last chore?"

"...I'll change my clothes."

This sentence is a powerful persuasion. It seems that no matter what the matter is, as long as it involves the last time, it has a magic that people cannot refuse.

Oreki Xian smiled and nodded.

"I'm waiting for you."

Asagiri Ran did not answer. She did not know how to respond to this question. She just quickly went back to her room and changed her clothes.

She is thin and cold-sensitive, so she certainly won't wear a Korean-style coat, just a simple cotton coat. But it looks particularly good on her, like a girl holding a glow stick in the snow, smiling and waving the light at you.

That is the white moonlight of first love.

No one is more suitable for the temperament of a young girl than her, but it's a pity that she doesn't like to laugh very much.

She also doesn't like being called cute.

"Let's go, for the last time."

She said this, wrinkling her nose quietly.

Oreki Gen smiled but said nothing.

It was not until the two of them went downstairs and felt the cold wind blowing towards them that Oreki Xian looked at the other person with a smile and said something as if he remembered something.

"Would you like to put your hand in?"

Asagiri's pretty face turned a little redder.

She quickly put her hands in her pockets.

"I have my own pockets."

Oreki Gen shook his head with pretended regret.

"What a pity..."

"Don't give me that. Are you going to leave or not?"

Asagiri Ran ignored the other party's performance. In her opinion, it was just a way for the boy to tease her.

Oreki Gen walked beside her with a smile, and the two of them walked side by side in the cold wind.

My nose was blown red.

Oreki Genji remembered something.

"Winter vacation is coming soon, what are your plans?"

"Didn't you ask me about this topic?"

The girl frowned.

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment.

"is it?"

Asagiri Ran sneered at him and said, "You have to talk about this topic with different girls every day. You must be too tired to remember it. It doesn't matter. Just don't forget it."

Oreki Gen didn't want to say it, he really had forgotten.

I always feel that this topic should be asked at times like this, as the other party obviously thought it was some other unbearable reason.

"No, that's not the case. I just wanted to ask you what your plans are for the club matter."

Asagiri Ran looked at the dead leaves on the ground that were blown up by the cold wind.

Her voice was cold, just like the endless darkness, which seemed so bleak even with the street lights.

"Are you talking about Sayuri Yukino's so-called club activities?"

"Yeah, about the gift."

"Do you expect me to give you a gift, or give Sakuraba Mizuki a gift?"

Obviously, she didn't seem to have any such intention at all.

Oreki Gen didn't try to persuade him either.

Just sighed.

"It seems that our club is like a flash in the pan, beautiful but short-lived."

"I don't think that this club will disband if it can't do its job. After all, it's her who's leaving the school, not us."

Oreki Gen looked at her with a smile.

"So you don't want to send gifts, but you also don't want the club to disband?"

The girl gently kicked the small stone in front of her with her toes, and the sound of the stone rolling down the quiet street was very clear.

"I don't really need it to disband. Of course, I wouldn't mind if it did disband."

"That's something you can say, but are you really planning to not make any effort?"

Asagiri Ran said with a frown.

"Why should I work so hard to do anything... Do you think Sakuraba Mizuki will really give me a gift? Even if she does, it will only be something that will irritate me, mock me and ridicule me. She is the one who treats this club as a toy, not me."

Oreki Gen looked at the girl whose words were a bit long.

He breathed gently, exhaling a thin mist.

"Actually, if everyone thinks this is unnecessary and the club's existence is dispensable, I won't say anything or make any effort. After all, I don't have the habit of working hard but getting nothing in return. But... is it really so? Is there no need for this club to exist at all?"

"So you came here today specifically to persuade me to give Sakuraba Mizuki a gift?"

Asagiri Sang looked at Oreki Gen.

Her expression was naturally cold.

Oreki Gen looked at Asagiri Ryou with a smile.

"Well, I also convinced her to give you a gift."

"Persuasion? Not collusion?"

"Collusion of what?"

"They colluded to tease me. They came up with some weird gift just to see my wonderful expression and record my angry and helpless look."

Oreki Gen couldn't help but laugh.

Asagiri Ran's expression couldn't hold back any longer.

Even stamped his feet.

"What are you laughing at!"

"I...hahaha...no, haha..."

"asshole!"

Asagiri Ran turned around and was about to leave. She felt that the other person was laughing at her.

She knew that she was not a particularly normal person, but she had always been like this and had lived like this. She did not expect everyone to understand her, but she would not accept other people's inexplicable ridicule.

As soon as she turned around, Oreki Gen grabbed her hand.

The force was so great that not only was Asagiri unable to refuse, she couldn't even control her body and turned around in a circle.

The girl, still with a look of shame on her face, was caught off guard and faced Oreki Gen's face once again.

Even his hand was held tightly by the other person.

He controlled his expression and it turned into a smile.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm not making fun of you, I just think you seem a little bit paranoid."

"Aren't you laughing at me? Let go, we are on the street..."

Oreki Gen didn't let go, instead his eyes flickered like the cold moonlight in the sky.

"Does that mean we can hold hands without being on the street?"

"That was not what I meant!!"

"I know that's not what you mean, but you don't understand me."

"What do you mean?"

Asagiri's face flushed and his brows frowned.

Then he saw Oreki Gen looked at him with a gentle and serious expression and whispered.

"I promise that Jianyue didn't give you a gift to ridicule you or make fun of you, and I won't cooperate with her to tease you. I just..."

Having said this, he hesitated.

Asagiri Ran was made inexplicably curious and anxious.

"What on earth are you trying to say..."

Oreki Gen loosened his grip.

Then he faced Chao Wu Ran.

"I want to receive a gift from you, and I want to give you a gift, too. That's all."

"..."

It's no secret that Oreki Tsubasa is more than just a jerk.

Still a liar.
