Fair and delicate skin, soft and silky long hair, and a slender but not thin body.
Although she had changed into a more modest summer outfit, the beautiful scene of the dress sliding off her slender shoulders and her shy curves being gently outlined by the light could still be clearly seen in his mind.
Recalling the wonderful experience not long ago, Ming Hai couldn't help but take a deep breath, sit up straight, firmly suppress the instinct that was stirring again, and cover it up with a serious expression.
——The one who has tasted the sweetness of the food is not only Teacher Xiaoxiang, but also this energetic young man.
The temptation of the succubus Xiao Xiang was so terrible that it almost broke through his bottom line... If he didn't have the concern of "being close to death" in his heart, then even if Su Shi opened the door of the room with a spare key, he would not stop until Xiangzi cried, right?
Ming Hai shook his head, temporarily putting aside the beautiful thoughts that popped up one after another, and planned to slowly savor them when he returned to his room at night.
After confirming the itinerary, several people quickly swarmed into the game room and divided themselves into groups using the palms and backs of their hands.
Ming Hai, Takamatsu Deng, and Shiina Lixi are in a group and they are playing Ma○ao Party.
Nagasaki Motoyo, Toyokawa Shoko, and Wakaba Mutsu were in a group and were playing Ma○o racing.
As the game began, noisy and bustling sounds quickly filled the room.
Ming Hai: "You can play? You are such a jerk, let me teach Deng."
Li Xi: "What can a cheating guy like you teach Deng? Teach her how to rub the handle to create an afterimage?!"
Deng: "Ah, I met Kuba... This game is so fun."
Xiangzi: "Ah - Sushi-san! Using props is against the rules! I'm already the last one, and you still treat me like this!"
Su Shi: "No, it's a problem if you don't use props in a prop match... And even if we fight fair and square, you are no match for me."
Mu: "Xiangzi, you're already amazing to be able to run for the first time. Even though you're running backwards..."
Xiangzi: "Mu, you'd better stop comforting me..."
The afternoon sun was shining brightly.
In the air-conditioned room with strong cooling, the boys and girls seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the outside world, as if they had forgotten the complicated thoughts and heavy emotions accumulated in their hearts.
Just like that, riding on the happy laughter and shouts, we let ourselves go with our friends around us, floating across this light and clear summer sky.
-
Time flies.
When everyone came out of the game room, the dazzling afterglow had already dyed the sky red. The fiery sunset swallowed up half the world, and it seemed that even the lush green woods in the distance were about to catch fire.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to mention."
Ming Hai stretched himself, turned around and smiled at the girls, "We will be leaving tomorrow. As a souvenir, let's have dinner by the stream tonight - I've prepared barbecue and fireworks, all to die for!"
"Barbecue?"
"fireworks?"
The girls were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, surprisingly not showing much surprise or excitement.
But it makes sense... Not to mention Xiangzi who knew about this a long time ago, neither Su Shi, Deng nor Wakaba Mutsuki seem to be the kind of people who would get excited about fireworks and barbecue.
Shiina Riki even subconsciously said "Huh?", put one hand on his waist, and looked at him unhappily.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier about this arrangement? Shouldn't those things be prepared in advance? Have you prepared them all by yourself?"
"Yes, I want to give you a surprise." Ming Hai spread his hands, looking very innocent.
"It's just a barbecue and fireworks, what kind of surprise is that?" Shiina Riki rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Ming Hai didn't indulge her. He smacked his lips and strode out of the villa, snorting angrily, "I'll take the things back later, you guys can do whatever you want!"
Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo could both hear that he was just teasing the insincere Shiina Tatsuki, so they naturally had no intention of going over to comfort him. They just watched the development of the situation with a smile in their eyes.
Ruoye Mu glanced at the two people who were as still as a mountain, and also stayed where he was silently.
After being stunned for a moment, Takamatsu Deng reflexively tried to catch up with him: "Ming Hai, wait——"
But before she could take any action, Shiina Riki stomped his feet in anger, then walked quickly up to him and blocked his way.
"Hey, I'm just saying it casually, why are you so mad? Are you a teenage girl?"
"Words spoken carelessly can also hurt people, Shiina-san." Ming Hai crossed his arms across his chest, looking down at him condescendingly, his slightly raised lips showing a shallow smile, "Especially for a sensitive beautiful boy like me, a bad word can make me shiver from July to December."
——That is, provided he can live until December.
Shiina Riki couldn't help rubbing his arms in disgust: "You actually said you were a beautiful boy, you really are...Okay, I take that back. Thank you so much for the surprise!"
"Not sincere enough... But never mind, being tough is one of your characteristics." Ming Hai shrugged and sighed helplessly, "If you don't want me to be responsible for so many things alone, you can just say it directly. It's okay."
He paused, and looked at the black-haired girl with a tolerant and mature look like an elder brother: "There's no need to be so roundabout in caring about me. I'm a very straightforward person, and you won't understand."
"Huh?!" Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment, then her face quickly turned red, her voice stuttered a little, and her eyes stared at him even more sharply.
"Who, who cares about you? Stop being so sentimental—"
Ming Hai pretended to be disappointed and lowered his head: "Well, do whatever you want, I'll go and collect it..."
"So annoying! I care about you, okay?" Shiina Riki kicked him angrily, then strode back to Takamatsu Deng's side and shouted loudly as if he was upset, "Deng, leave this guy alone! Let's go see if there is anything we can bring to the stream, and don't let him take the limelight all by himself!"
"Eh?" Gao Songdeng hadn't reacted yet from this series of crosstalk-like conversations. He could only stare blankly at Li Xi's profile, which was characterized by her lips pursed in embarrassment and her cheeks flushed with red, as she was dragged away by Li Xi.
"Lixi-chan..."
Even though he was arguing with Ming Hai when he was playing games just now...
When did their relationship become so good?
For some reason, Takamatsu Deng suddenly felt that his relationship with Ming Hai was the most distant among everyone.
Volume 136: Chapter Chapter Gao Songdeng's confusion, Wakaba Mu's mistake
After the afterglow faded away, the bright silver light also dispelled the night, making the world no longer dark and gloomy.
The gurgling stream contains half of the starry sky.
It seems as if there is a Milky Way hidden under the water. When the evening breeze blows gently, sparkling ripples will appear on the surface of the water, which are delicate and gentle and appear to the eye.
Ming Hai stood in front of the grill, flipping the dozen or so skewers on the grill with ease.
The brush dipped in the sauce swept across, flames rose up and slowly fell, licking the food persistently and gently.
The aroma of oil and sauce, in the pleasant sizzling melody, rises with the white smoke and gradually dissipates into the vast and quiet night.
The speakers not far away were playing soothing and relaxing music, which seemed to be a hit song by a well-known band.
High-powered lanterns hung on the edge of the tent, like a barrier in the darkness - outside the light was an endless abyss with countless dangers, while inside the light was a warm and safe campsite by the stream.
"It's a pity there's no bonfire."
Ming Hai took a bite of the skewer to test the cooking temperature, then looked around at the scene which was bright but lacked some liveliness, and couldn't help but sigh.
Of course he knew how to build a bonfire, but firstly, the conditions did not allow it. Even if there was an axe in the warehouse, he could not find a tree to chop down on someone else's land. Secondly, there were only six people present. Even if a bonfire was built, there was no way to dance around it, let alone have a quiet and emotional bonfire chat.
——He had a hunch that if some of the girls were allowed to become sentimental, the trouble that would ensue would definitely be no less than that of truth or dare.
So it’s good like this, there are ways to play in a non-lively way, as long as everyone can enjoy it, it’s enough.
He casually threw the bamboo skewers into the trash can at his feet and divided the remaining grilled skewers into two plates. Ming Hai was about to call the girls to come over and enjoy them when he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Turning around, the little animal girl seemed to have not expected him to turn around at this time. The moment their eyes met, her shoulders could not help but tremble slightly. She took a step back shudderingly, and then slowly relaxed.
"What? Do you want to scare me?" Ming Hai teased with a smile.
Gao Songdeng shook his head, and seemed to be infected by his relaxed mood, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "Ming Hai classmate, it has been grilling for a while... I want to ask if you need help."
Ming Hai then realized that she was holding a bottle of water and a towel in her hands, which should be comfort items brought to him.
"Thank you, that's a great help." He put the tray on the small table next to him, wiped his face that was smoked by the charcoal fire with a cold towel, and then drank half a bottle of water before he exhaled a sigh of relief. "I'm not tired, just a little bored."
"I, I can stay here and chat with you!"
Gao Songdeng looked at him seriously, clenched his fists, and showed a determined look that showed that he was willing to go through fire and water to help him.
Ming Hai took off his heat-insulating work gloves, patted her cute head that was as round as a little rabbit, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, don't you like stars? Find a place to lie down and appreciate them quietly, it's better than wasting time around me."
He knew about the aquarium by then. There were only two places that Takamatsu Deng often went to on holidays: the planetarium and the aquarium. Just as she liked those marine creatures, she seemed to be fascinated by the magnificence and mystery of the starry sky.
Gao Songdeng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to explain: "It's not a waste of time! Although I do like stars, I am more..."
Before she could finish, Ming Hai suddenly changed the subject: "Where are Xiangzi and the others?"
"By the stream. Xiangzi-chan is taking pictures with them..."
With his head slightly lowered and feeling inexplicably depressed, Gao Songdeng answered softly.
"Okay, let's go find them."
As if not noticing her change of mood, Ming Hai picked up the tray and walked west.
The girl, whose gray hair seemed to have lost its color and whose appearance was extremely withered, followed him silently.
But after walking a few steps, Gao Songdeng suddenly spoke again.
"Narumi-san...what does it feel like to be in love?"
"Love topic? I'm not good at this..." Ming Hai thought for a moment, looked at the bright and brilliant starry sky in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "For example... every day from now on, you can see your favorite constellation in the sky, and even talk to the stars that you thought were light years away, and hold their gentle and non-dazzling light in your arms and make it your own."
"Take the light of the stars for yourself..." Gao Songdeng murmured, his expression a little dazed, and he didn't know what he had realized.
After a moment, she continued to ask: "So, Xiangzi-chan is your star?"
"Yes."
Ming Hai did not refute. Even though he now realized the shame, he still remained calm and took responsibility for what he had said.
Gao Songdeng continued thoughtfully: "In that case, Ming Hai is also Xiangzi's star... She held you in her arms and took you for herself?"
Ming Hai's eyes twitched slightly, he grabbed a skewer of meat from the plate, bit it and said vaguely: "...If you think so, it's not impossible."
Children are ignorant and are just asking for fun; there is no need to give any extra explanation, just say what you want to say.
"Where's Suyo-chan?"
After saying this, Ming Hai almost bit off the bamboo stick in one bite, and couldn't help but give her a strange look: "Hey... why do you mention her? We are just good friends, not in a relationship."
Gao Songdeng looked at him seriously, with light flowing in his clear eyes: "If Xiangzi-chan wants to take your light for herself, then won't Sushi-chan, who has the best relationship with you, feel lonely? And Li Xi-chan, Mu-chan..."
And me.
Although it was confirmed in the morning that even if he and Xiangzi-chan were dating, they would not become strangers or deliberately distance themselves from each other in the future, and they could continue to be good friends for life.
But after realizing that the relationship between him and I seemed to be more distant than I had imagined, I couldn't play and fight with him like Riki-chan, nor could I have the tacit understanding with him that we could communicate through eye contact like Suze-chan.
Gao Songdeng's uneasiness continued to grow, urging her to get a definite answer.
Or rather - she hoped to hear him define in his own words the relationship and future between the two of them, and the position she could play by his side.
"Deng, boys and girls are not just 'strangers' and 'lovers'."
Ming Hai shook his head helplessly, and as if he was imparting common sense to a preschooler, he patiently and gently said, "Xiangzi is not the kind of girl who is possessive. After we started dating, she would ask me to delete the contact information of other members of the opposite sex, cut off contact, and keep a distance... Didn't you notice? Even if I sat with you guys and played games, Xiangzi would not even look at me. She would just go about her own business and enjoy her own life."
"She trusts me, and she trusts you too - both you and Su Shi will remain good friends from now on, and nothing will change."
"The only part we have of each other is the part reserved for 'lovers'."
He took a grilled green pepper from the skewer and handed it to Gao Songdeng with a smile.
"So, don't think too much. Xiangzi and I can't bear to abandon you. From now on, we need you to write lyrics for [CryCHIC] and bring your own 'cry' to the world."
Gao Songdeng took the green pepper, his eyes still fixed on him, his small pink and white lips slightly opened, as if he didn't even think, he just said what was in his heart:
"There won't be any changes?"
Ming Hai looked at her openly and answered without any hesitation: "Well, I probably won't change in this life or the next."
"Won't leave? Won't disappear?" she confirmed further.
Ming Hai shrugged: "If possible, of course it would be best."
The music on the speakers suddenly became high-pitched, like the silent curve of short gray hair.
Gao Songdeng stood on tiptoe, clutching the corner of his clothes with his free hand, as if he was so nervous that he was trembling slightly, or as if he just couldn't find any strength to support himself.
She just stared straight into Minghai's eyes, at a distance so close that they could smell each other's breath.
It was as if she wanted to find the most direct answer from the depths of his eyes, and it was as if she wanted to completely wipe away the confused and blurred scenery in her eyes through the reflection.
"Then I can never get close to you again?"
The music stopped, and the light shone on her adorable face, which looked like it was about to cry at any moment, and was distorted with a look of pain.
