Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

The jeans and leather boots on the lower body make this woman look like she is going to attend a fashion festival, or it can be said that she is wearing a nightclub style outfit.

It is quite consistent with Kiyono Yuri's personality and lifestyle.

When Oreki saw the other person coming in, his first words were: "Manager, you are dressed like this, are you planning to go out for a drink?"

Qingye Yuri replied unhappily, "I haven't been to a nightclub in a few months. I don't want to drink."

"Really?" Oreki Gen was obviously a little skeptical.

Qingye Yuri narrowed her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you really not trust me? Besides, it would be boring to go to such places too often."

This is true.

This is true everywhere, no matter how fun or interesting it is, or how much pleasure it can provide you at the beginning, your threshold will always increase with the number of times you go there, making it increasingly difficult to feel happy.

"I didn't expect you would say something like this."

Oreki Gen said with a smile.

"You're getting off work, right?"

Kiyori Kiyono's eyes turned slightly, as if she was considering something. This beginning made Oreki Gen feel something.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" He responded indifferently.

Qingye Yuri turned her head away, not caring at all, and deliberately appeared to be very casual, "Then you should have nothing to do after work, right?"

Looking at the other person's deliberate and somewhat unbearable look, he avoided her but couldn't help staring at her out of the corner of his eye.

Oreki Gen couldn't help the evil taste in his heart.

"It's hard to say, it seems like something is wrong."

"Is there something wrong? What is it?"

She suddenly looked at the boy anxiously, and then saw Oreki Gen's half-smile as he looked at her.

She immediately explained in a panic.

"Ah, I'm just asking casually... Hehe, after all, you work for me. What if you go out and do something bad... What if something goes wrong and I have to take responsibility?"

Oreki Gen still did not choose to expose the other party, but said, "I'm going to watch TV, play some games, or take a nap when I get home. It shouldn't be that dangerous, right?"

Qingno Yuri's eyes widened, and she realized that she had been tricked.

This bastard...!

"You call this a problem?!"

Oreki Gen said, trying not to smile. "Of course. For a high school student like me, playing games and sleeping are not a big deal. They are a big deal! Do you know how short of time students are? It's obvious that they have forgotten the hardships of studying."

"Fuck you, if you have nothing else to do, come with me after work."

Kiyono Yuri said unhappily that she couldn't pretend anymore at this point and might as well be direct.

For example: I had a blast with him!

"What? Are you going to take me, a high school student with excellent academic performance, to do something dangerous?"

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with a wary look.

After all, she was the one who said it was dangerous, and now she was just handing the topic back to the other party.

Qingye Yuri couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I'm just going to have a meal. Look how scared you are. Would I take you to do anything dangerous?"

"That's hard to say. After all, those dreams..."

At this point, Oreki Gen's topic came to an abrupt end, as if he realized something was wrong.

And Kiyono Yuri quickly remembered something.

What is wrong is not the dangerous dreams themselves, but what happened in those dreams.

For example...those beautiful moments that linger till death.

It's about the indulgence between a mature woman and a handsome boy, a madness that seems to disregard everything and reality.

Qingye Yuri has never forgotten those things, or rather...she thinks of them often.

Once you have tried that feeling, it seems like you will never forget it.

Although what happened in the dream did not have much impact on reality, it would not affect her innocence.

But does so-called innocence really have something to do with the body, or does it have something to do with the psychology?

Just like the cheating that people like to talk about, is it cheating with the body, or is it cheating with the soul, or is it both?

Of course, Kiyono Yuri thinks that they all count.

So...how can you still deceive yourself and others about your own actions?

Even if you convince yourself that this is a dream and you can indulge yourself...it is ultimately nothing but a hypocritical deception.

If you enjoy it, you enjoy it; if you feel it, you feel it.

And...it may be true that there is no turning back.

Oreki Gen watched as the other person's eyes drooped and a noticeable blush appeared on his pretty and delicate face. He also knew that what he had said just now was a bit reckless.

Some things that everyone would find embarrassing were brought up, making the situation awkward.

So he coughed.

"I'll be handing over my shift soon. If the manager doesn't think it will take too long, you can wait for me for a while."

Kiyono Yuri suddenly looked up in surprise.

"You agreed?"

Oreki Gen shrugged helplessly.

"What else? Should I still not agree?"

"How can I regret it? I promised you that I'll wait for you for a while."

So Qingye Yuri went into the lounge to wait, as it was not a good idea to wait outside.

When Oreki Ken finally finished his shift, Kiyono Yuri came out, got on the motorcycle and let the boy sit on the back of his motorcycle.

After putting on the helmet, Oreki Ken remembered that there were some things he still needed to ask.

"Where are we going to eat?"

"Go to my house."

Suddenly, the boy's hands around the other's waist naturally stiffened.

"Go, go to your house?"

Depend on.

At this time, so late, a man and a woman alone, going to this woman's house?

What does she want to do?

"Well, otherwise you can't drive after drinking, which is very troublesome."

Does she know what she's talking about?

Is this a question of whether to drive or not?!

What car are you going to drive?

Chapter 57: Strings and Lilies

We finally arrived at Kiyono Yuri's house.

When he arrived at the other party's house, Oreki Gen realized that the other party had already prepared everything.

But when he saw this young woman who always seemed free and unconcerned with worldly affairs frying steak there, Oreki Gen still felt as if he was in another world.

It was as if something had changed, and not just unconsciously.

It was like the blink of an eye.

But when it comes to cooking skills, among all the girls and women he knows, the best should be Kikyo Satomi.

During this period, I went to the other party's house for dinner quite often. Life was free, so the one left was naturally the considerate and understanding OL sister next door.

Moreover, Kikyo Satomi can give people a feeling as if they are King Zhou.

Immersed in the land of gentleness, I am completely happy and don't want to leave.

Although it didn't make him weak in the knees, it also made Oreki Gen realize that if there was a woman who stayed by his side every day, it would be easy for him to lose his ambition.

I don't want to care about anything and I don't want to be involved in anything.

So when it comes to beauty, it’s better to know when to stop.

It’s just that from my own standpoint, I don’t seem to be qualified to say these things.

"What are you looking at there?"

Noticing that the boy was staring at her in a daze, Qingno Yuri turned around and said coquettishly, "In fact, she can cook, but she does it very rarely, so she was a little nervous."

Oreki Gen came back to his senses.

It is naturally impossible to tell the other person that I am thinking of another woman. That would only cause trouble for myself and would only bring disaster to myself.

He said with a smile.

"Nothing, I'm just curious, boss, you can fry steak."

Qingye Yuri reached out and gently gathered a strand of hair at her temple, then hummed softly.

"You think I can't do anything but drink, right?"

"That's not the case. It's just like when you think a gem is worth a lot, someone suddenly tells you that it is worth even more."

These words made Qingye Yuri's pretty face turn slightly red.

I couldn't help but feel happy.

But she cannot show it completely, and still has some woman's modesty.

"What nonsense... Go sit down, it will be fine soon."

"Ah."

Oreki Gen nodded and returned to the other party's living room.

The other person's home is decorated in a very simple style, not the kind of style that is heavily colored, and naturally not too traditional either.

But it looks clean and comfortable.

Although the place is not too big, the layout of some home appliances, facilities and decorations are quite orderly.

It doesn't look messy at all.

This is in stark contrast to the woman's usual carefree demeanor.

I think besides those outwardly cheerful faces, they also have delicate hearts.

The steak was ready quickly, and Oreki Gen helped to bring it to the table.

And Kiyono Yuri did not forget the drinks that were essential for such a night.

In fact, sometimes people drink not because they really want to drink. Unless they are really addicted, it's just for the atmosphere.

Or a sense of ritual.

But this time, Qingye Yuri brought a bottle of red wine.

The lights were on, the steak was steaming, and the oil and water seemed to be splashing.

Her cheeks were a little rosy, and she spoke softly while opening the wine.

"I feel that this is a little bit lacking, so let's just drink red wine. After all, you don't like me to drink too much..."

Is this a complaint or an ambiguous expression?

Oreki Gen watched the other person's actions with a smile.

"I didn't say I hate you for drinking too much. No one likes drunks. The main reason is that being drunk harms your body. After all, alcohol has only bad effects and no good."

The woman gently poured the scarlet wine into the goblet.
