Finally, I became their white moonlight

"..."

Ming Hai was stunned for just a moment.

Then, he smiled helplessly and stuffed the green pepper in her other hand into her mouth, making her subconsciously open her mouth and bite it, then rubbed her head hard.

"Eat yours, idiot."

"Do you want me to be a two-timing scumbag, or do you want to see Xiangzi turn evil and scold us?"

"No matter who you are, we are now at the best distance... If you can't even accept this fact, you will be even more miserable in the future."

——Some roads have come to an end. If you want to take another step forward, you can only go back.

Ming Hai lowered his head and looked at her timidly raised eyes, trying to convey this truth to her.

But whether Gao Songdeng understood or not, this was all he could say.

The only thing left is to express it through actions, right?

Letting go of her hand, Ming Hai turned around, leaving her with a helpless smile, and continued walking towards the stream with the tray.

Gao Songdeng was still standing there.

She looked at Minghai who was getting farther and farther away from her, her eyes like someone looking for the stars at night in the daytime.

-

"Mr. Narumi, thank you for your hard work."

There were a few small chairs placed by the stream. Because they were a bit far from the light source of the tent, in order to dispel the darkness, the girls turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones, which somewhat illuminated the relatively flat stone beach under their feet.

Toyokawa Shoko took the tray and distributed the skewers to the other two. She looked around in confusion, "Where are Riki and Deng?"

"The light is in the back, Shiina-san, I don't know."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as Ming Hai finished speaking, Shiina Riki's voice sounded not far away.

"I just went for a walk."

Coming to the group, the black-haired girl unceremoniously took a skewer of meat and began to take big bites as if she was eager to replenish her energy. She was completely different from the young ladies in front of her who were savoring the food with their small mouths.

Ming Hai lowered his eyes and found that she had rolled up her trouser legs, revealing a section of her fair, tender and firm calves, which were faintly shining with a moist luster.

"You took a walk into the creek?"

"I just happened to see some fish swimming by, so I thought I'd catch a few for dinner." Shiina Riki answered vaguely while chewing his food, regardless of etiquette. "Don't look at me like this. When I was a kid in my hometown, I was an expert at fishing. No boy around here could catch fish better than me."

"Don't look at you like this?" Ming Hai tilted his head slightly, expressing confusion with an innocent face.

Seeing that the skewers of barbecue were indeed delicious, Shiina Riki was too lazy to argue with him and continued to talk to Toyokawa Shoko and others: "Unfortunately, the fish we caught were too small and didn't taste good, so we let them go."

She believed that seeing is believing, so no matter whether Ming Hai had reminded her before or not, she had to go and confirm it herself before she was willing to give up.

"The stream is very dangerous, Riki-san." Toyokawa Shoko said worriedly, "What if something unexpected happens if you go there alone?"

"Don't worry, this stream is much safer than the one near my hometown." Shiina Riki shrugged, "Don't talk about me, even if you go swimming there, I don't think anything will happen."

After chatting for a while, the group dispersed again - Ming Hai returned to the grill, Shiina Riki went to find Takamatsu Deng, and Nagasaki Motoyo and the other two had to clean up the chairs and drinks placed by the stream.

Not long after, Ming Hai felt someone approaching him quietly again.

"Is it you this time? Wakaba-san."

"This time?" Ruo Yemu blinked, and soon calmly said that he suddenly realized, "Just now, did Deng come to find you?"

"Yeah, you talked to me about the stars." Ming Hai looked at the food box, thinking whether to grill corn or grill oysters next, and whether to add leeks to the oysters, and casually answered Wakaba Mutsu, "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Here." She picked up a bag. Ming Hai took it and saw that it contained six washed cucumbers.

"Would you like to grill it?"

Wakaba Mu nodded, and Minghai did some simple processing with a knife and put six bunches of cucumbers on the grill.

Turning around, he saw the green-haired girl still standing beside him. Her delicate and lovely white face, like a doll, was slightly illuminated by the flames that had risen again. He kindly reminded her, "Find a place to sit and wait. It won't take too long."

Ruo Yemu didn't move, just stared at the six bunches of cucumbers, with flickering flames reflected in his eyes as dull as dead water.

After a moment, her soft and gentle voice reached Minghai's ears clearly.

"Su Shi is happier with you than ever before."

Ming Hai paused as he was applying the sauce and looked at her with some confusion.

——What truth is this kid suddenly saying?

"I... also want Su Shi to get the happiness that belongs to her."

As if not expecting his answer, Ruoye Mu continued to speak in a low voice, slowly raised his face, and for the first time looked into Minghai's eyes so seriously and frankly.

"But her happiness seems to be only with you...just like Xiangzi."

Like a little girl asking an adult for help, her light golden eyes flickered with a hint of helplessness and powerlessness.

"so?"

Ming Hai couldn't understand what she was thinking, so he could only urge her to speak quickly and fart quickly.

The little hands hanging by her side clenched slightly. If Ye Mu also knew that this request was unreasonable and subtle, he might be disliked by many people.

But this was the only method she could think of, the only method she could use... to make her most important friend happy.

So, she lowered her head, looked at the ground and spoke slowly:

"I... can help you keep it a secret from Xiangzi and let Sushi be with you——"

Ka!

The bamboo stick hit the grill hard, charcoal stars flew everywhere, interrupting her difficult words which she had not yet finished speaking.

Ming Hai put down the skewers in his hand, ignoring the sauce still stuck on his fingertips, and pinched the soft and delicate cheeks of the doll girl, gritted his teeth and whispered as if helpless and reproachful:

"You idiot, is your brain filled with cucumbers?!"

Without struggling, Ruo Yemu just tilted his little face up and stared at him blankly, his mouth slightly opened, and he made a somewhat strange sound: "...Eh?"

"What? Don't tell this to anyone other than me! No matter if it's Su Shi or Xiang Zi, they will definitely scold you severely if they find out... Especially Su Shi, who might even break up with you."

Narumi glared at her unhappily, letting go of her delicate skin which had turned slightly red, before sighing and facing the grill again, his voice slowly returning to calm as his back turned to her.

"Forget what you were going to say. Give them the roasted cucumbers later."

"Then... go ask Su Shi a question."

Volume 137: Chapter Chapter Are you happy now?

Although his mind was filled with a tangled mess of thoughts, Ruo Yemu still looked calm on the surface. He calmly found everyone in the campsite by the stream and distributed the roasted cucumbers to everyone.

She was the last one to go find Nagasaki Motoyo.

The long brown hair was set off by silver light, cascading behind the slender back like a veil; the mature girl was sitting lazily on a small boulder, her long and tight legs under her skirt gently immersed in the cold stream, splashing water from time to time, like a little girl sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs back and forth out of boredom.

Nagasaki Suyo was looking at the starry sky, her soft and bright profile showing little expression, just looking up quietly, as if she was trapped in a different world that only she knew about, with loneliness and indifference lingering all over her body.

The light and thoughts in the eyes are flickering at the same frequency as the starlight.

"Su Shi."

Ruoye Mu stood by the stream for a while, until the aroma of roasted cucumbers blew into his nose. Then he mustered up the courage to intrude into the inexplicably heavy and foreign air without permission.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, gently tucked her hair by her ears, and silently watched her climb up the reef somewhat clumsily. When the puppet girl's body began to become unstable, she reached out and pulled her to the empty seat next to her.

"What's wrong? Are you here to bring me food?"

"Yeah, Narumi grilled it."

While Wakaba Mu carefully sat down by holding the hem of her skirt, Su Shi also took the grilled cucumber and took a small bite.

Although it was a little cold due to the wind, the crispy, salty and fragrant taste remained unchanged, and it was even easier to eat than when it was just baked.

Compared to those shiny pieces of meat, she actually prefers roasted vegetables like this - the sauce is only applied lightly, which is just right for her lighter taste.

"It's delicious. I wonder when he learned to cook." Nagasaki Motoyo licked the sauce from the corner of her mouth and whispered to herself, "But that person is so lazy. I guess he would rather order takeout every day than cook for himself... The same goes for the high-end ingredients we bought. We didn't use much of them and ended up stuffing them all at the bottom of the refrigerator. What a waste."

Ruo Ye Mu tilted his head to look at her, opened his mouth slightly, but suddenly forgot what he had thought of saying before, and didn't know where to start.

Nagasaki Suyo noticed her hesitant expression and could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "It's rare that Mu-chan is speechless?"

It's like a swordsman who is good at drawing the sword and can defeat the enemy with one move, suddenly doesn't even know how to draw the sword - for Wakaba Mu, who always ignores the atmosphere and speaks very directly, this reaction is indeed very strange.

"I..." The doll girl, who was not good at chatting to begin with, didn't know how to start now.

Ruoye Mu lowered his head, and after a moment he managed to utter: "I'm sorry..."

"What is there to be sorry about? Have you done anything to make me feel sorry for it?" Rather than teasing her, Nagasaki Motoyo was using this method to slowly get her used to the rhythm of a normal conversation. "If you don't explain quickly, I'll just guess it myself, okay? Let me think about it, what have you done to make me feel sorry for it..."

Putting her finger on her lips, Nagasaki Suye thought for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Could it be that after Ming Hai helped you make delicious cucumber dishes, you accidentally fell in love with him because of this incident... In order to confess and declare war on me, you came here alone to find me?"

Ruo Ye Mu raised his head and looked at her blankly, his face full of surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?"

"No." Ruo Ye Mu came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously. His long light green hair covered his ears, which were slightly red for some reason.

"That's good." Nagasaki Suyo shrugged nonchalantly. She was just joking, so she naturally didn't expect the other party to give any interesting reactions. "By the way, even if you want to confess and declare war, you should tell Xiangzi-chan... If there are two of us, maybe we can even form an alliance."

After snatching Ming Hai from Xiangzi, she would be the first wife and Ruo Ye Mu would be the second wife. In this way, she could firmly occupy the position of the center of the family and would not have to worry about more competitors appearing - Nagasaki Suyo had such messy ideas before.

She even dared to dream that kind of dream, so what else could she not dare to think about now?

Anyway, these things in imagination will never happen in reality.

"..."

Wakaba Mu fell into silence until Nagasaki Suyo ate half a cucumber, then he spoke softly: "Suyo, do you still like Minghai?"

"Of course." Nagasaki Motoyo answered as a matter of course, then looked at her doubtfully as she looked a little depressed, "Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden? Mu-chan, you're not really..."

Ignoring her question, Wakaba Mu continued, "Even if Ming Hai is already with Xiangzi?"

Nagasaki Suyo frowned slightly: "...It's not reasonable for him to suddenly dislike someone the moment he starts dating them, right?"

Ruoye Mu stared at the splashes of water she kicked up, and her calm and gentle voice seemed to be swallowed up by the night.

"Then, would you want to steal Xiangzi's love? Or, secretly be with Minghai..."

"...I will buy you a copy of 'High Emotional Intelligence's Way of Speaking' when I get back. It will be your birthday present next year in advance."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed, then forcefully lifted up Wakaba Mu's face, which was drooping lower and lower, and stared straight at her evasive gaze, saying in a serious tone: "What are you thinking about? What do you want to say to me? Why can't you tell me directly and angrily like Mu-chan usually does?"

——Because he said it, and if I said it directly, you might be so angry that you would break up with me.

Wakaba Mutsu, who is not good at lying, can only try hard to hide what he really wants to say for the sake of this precious friendship.

But soon, she remembered the question that Ming Hai asked her to ask Su Shi.

But the answer to this question was too obvious, and she didn't know what was the point of asking, so she subconsciously put it behind her.

Now...

"Su Shi."

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll throw water on you." Nagasaki Suyo's expression was cold and she threatened in a fierce tone.

Ruo Yemu finally moved his gaze to her face, as if to confirm her reaction, and asked cautiously and uneasily:

"Are you happy now?"

"……Eh?"

Nagasaki Suyo stood there in a daze, blinking in confusion for a moment, then slowly let go of her cheek with his fingers, tiny lines appeared between his brows, and he thought for a moment before answering her hesitantly.

"Well, even though new troubles arise every day, and things in love have never been smooth sailing..."

“But now, I am indeed very happy.”

Without a doubt, she nodded, as if reconfirming the answer herself.

Even if I don't know the clear definition of happiness, if I really have to say whether I'm happy or not, compared to the past when I was almost suppressed by an empty family, a suffocating campus, and hypocritical interpersonal relationships, Nagasaki Suyo is undoubtedly very happy now.

However, Ruoye Mu was completely unable to understand her feelings. Facing the unexpected answer, the puppet girl could only subconsciously ask:

"But aren't you in great pain? Because Ming Hai was taken away by Xiangzi..."

Without having to listen to her confused questions, Nagasaki Suyo quickly understood what she wanted to say, and also understood the reason why she came to him to ask these strange questions.

——Oh, what a clumsy and worrying child.
