Finally, I became their white moonlight

"From today until the end of the future."

“…It has always been like this.”

Volume 90: Chapter Chapter Don’t you like it, or don’t you know how to like it?

Your own feelings?

Ming Hai wanted to say that he already understood completely and knew how he felt better than anyone else, so there was no need for her to say anything more.

However, when the words reached his lips, the index finger pressed against his chest seemed to dig deep into his throat, suppressing all the insincere words back into his stomach, and only a few words slipped out of the corner of his mouth.

"I……"

The frank yet gentle, sweet yet earnest confession made his breathing pause for a moment, and the only sound he could hear was the heavier heartbeat beside his ears.

It was like going back to my school days, hearing a girl shyly call out my name for the first time. My blood began to flow uncontrollably, my hands and feet became hot, and I felt an awkward sensation.

The face of his first love, which had long been blurred, seemed to be gradually becoming clear, overlapping with the girl who was obviously shy with her face flushed, but still standing in front of him with her head held high.

After a brief trance, Ming Hai came to his senses, shook his head vigorously in his mind to block out those inexplicable images, and complained a few words indignantly.

"Damn it, who can resist this? A beautiful girl with a sweet voice, who confesses her love to you at every turn, and who is determined to be with you forever... In front of her, straight people can be turned gay, and gay people can be straightened, right?"

'No wonder that Sanjiao Chuhua had such an attitude. It's really easy to fall in love with her, whether it's the same sex or the opposite sex...'

Just like the humans who were constantly bewitched by the succubus, it was not easy for him to hold on until now without surrendering. This was simply because it was going against the human instinct.

Toyokawa Shoko is actually scary!

Ming Hai took a deep breath.

Smelling the fresh and elegant scent of gardenia, he thought again and again, and finally chose to change the subject.

"Anyway, you should have forgiven me now, right?"

If you focus on the task and approach Toyokawa Shoko with the goal of completing it, you won't have to think about those overly heavy issues, nor will you have to change your current attitude towards her.

after all……

Isn't it obvious why you haven't fallen in love with her yet?

As the "white moonlight" who will die sooner or later, as a stranger from another world who will disappear from this world sooner or later, it would cause big problems if he had invested true feelings in Toyokawa Shoko.

Ming Hai doesn't want to be reluctant to die and delay until the mission expires next year, and be forced to say goodbye to her in tears and wish to see her again in the next life... This kind of nagging and stomach-breaking plot is not suitable for him. It is better to be vigilant from the beginning.

"Stay awake and don't get seasick."

"It is my duty to die elegantly and leave no regrets in this world."

"Enjoy life earnestly and leave this world lightly."

As early as the day they met, Ming Hai had set up several psychological defenses for himself, and added them one by one as their feelings gradually deepened. The main one was that he was unyielding, and even the succubus had to give a thumbs up to his steel will, and then turn around to find a gay who was easier to deal with.

...Therefore, since he cannot fall in love with Toyokawa Shoko, he is destined to be unable to answer that question.

In order to avoid being discovered, I could only talk about other things.

"Forgive? I wasn't mad at you in the first place."

Thinking that he was just a little shy, Toyokawa Shoko understood and chuckled. She stopped talking about what happened just now and continued his words: "I am angry that I didn't make you like me. I am angry that the word "like" blinded my eyes and I couldn't see the feelings that belonged only to us and the promises we made to each other."

"I haven't contacted you during this period because I'm afraid... I'm afraid of seeing you suddenly become cold in your replies, or that you will stop reading or replying to my letters from now on."

She spoke in a low voice with a slightly dull tone, but still had a faint smile on her face.

The clear and gentle gaze kissed his cheek gently like the warm sun and shone into his deep eyes.

"Fortunately, that despair was just a nightmare."

"…I haven't lost you yet, have I?"

After a moment of silence, Ming Hai stroked her head, as if to comfort a puppy that was looking up anxiously, and said with a smile that sounded like a sigh:

"certainly……"

"It's not that easy to drive me away."

-

As midsummer approaches, the light always darkens particularly slowly after school.

Even when the pointer reached the evening horizon, the white sky still stretched across the park, connecting the lush green scenery and extending toward the distant edge.

The three of them returned to their original position and reunited with Sanjiao Chuhua, who had a dazed look in his eyes.

The deep silence and the sound of shoes rubbing against the grass quickly brought Sanjiao Chuhua back to his senses.

She put away her phone as if nothing had happened and greeted the three people with a smile.

"How's it going, are you done talking?"

"Well, sorry to have kept you waiting." With an apologetic look in her eyes, Toyokawa Shoko asked with some concern, "Chuhua, is everything okay at work? I hope I didn't waste your time..."

"Don't worry, I've arranged all the work for the afternoon." Sanjiao Chuhua shook his head, placed his palm proudly on his chest, and said with a bright smile, "The rest of the day is all Xiaoxiang's, you can use it however you want!"

Chu Hua, please come to my house tonight. If possible, please stay overnight. I want to catch up with you."

"Really, really?!"

As if he was suddenly hit on the head by a surprise, Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then he raised his voice with uncontrollable joy, and held her hands with joy, almost jumping on the spot twice.

"I'll go, I'll go! I'll call my family and agent right now and ask them to bring my carry-on luggage over for me!"

"Really? This isn't your first time staying over at my house. Do you have to be so happy?" After saying this with some helplessness and a bit of amusement, Toyokawa Shoko turned her gaze towards the other two and said hesitantly, "Would you two like to come too?"

"……Eh?"

Sanjiao Chuhua's smile froze instantly, her pupils trembled wildly, and she looked at her in disbelief as she said this.

——No, are you serious?!

It’s fine if Nagasaki-san comes, but we’re having a pajama party for girls, so it’s not a good idea to have a boy come along, right?

What if he gets mad at night and attacks all three of us? !

Even if I only attack you, it won’t work!

And as an artist, her manager wouldn't let her get too close to men, let alone spend the night under the same roof...

So Xiaoxiang, please think about it again!

"Um, sorry, just pretend I didn't say that."

It seemed that he heard the cry in her heart, or perhaps he realized that Sanjiao Chuhua was an artist and was indeed a little sensitive.

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject with an apologetic tone: "Please invite you two to my house for tea and chat some other day... Chuhua helped me a lot today, so I must treat her well."

Nagasaki Suyo held her elbows and shrugged calmly: "I don't care. I'm not really interested in your family anyway. You can't let Ming Hai spend the night at your house so soon, right?"

This is completely different from bringing friends home to play. You can imagine how her family will react.

Unless Toyokawa Shoko was ready to confront her family, it would be fine if she just drank tea and chatted in the garden outside. But if she brought a boy with whom she was obviously having an ambiguous relationship into the room, or even let him stay overnight...

Getting engaged on the spot or breaking up on the spot, there are probably only two possible outcomes, right?

Judging from Toyokawa Shoko's reaction, the most likely possibility should be the former, so Nagasaki Suyo asked this question deliberately in a provocative manner -

It's really unbelievable that she could make such a brainless invitation.

"Hmph, who said that?"

Xiangzi was a proud person, so he would not turn a blind eye to this provocation. He calmly raised his head and chest and responded leisurely: "As long as Minghai-kun doesn't mind, I can take him home now and introduce him to the elders... He promised me that if the family doesn't agree with us, he would take me away and start our life anew abroad."

The calm tone was full of boasting.

The elegant and generous smile was obviously intended to deliberately provoke the "rival" in front of him.

——Unfortunately, the first person who was irritated by this sentence was her childhood sweetheart.

"Xiao, Xiao Xiang..."

Sanjiao Chuhua was completely frozen in place, his eyes showing even more shock and confusion than before, staring stupidly at his best friend who made him feel somewhat strange.

However, none of the three people present cared about the reaction of the artist girl.

Nagasaki Suyo widened her eyes in disbelief, then put down her arms, looking at Ming Hai with both grievance and loneliness, a layer of mist quickly accumulated in her eyes.

"You take her away? What about me?"

Ming Hai helplessly spread his hands: "I can't take you with me, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo stepped closer, her face in front of him, so close that she could kiss him directly by standing on tiptoe, and asked excitedly: "Why not!? It's just a trip abroad for a while, mom shouldn't have any objection-"

"Wait, that's too close!"

Toyokawa Shoko hurriedly separated them to prevent someone from taking his first kiss in front of her, and gave them some advice: "Mr. Sushi, please stop being unreasonable! This is a major event in our lives, it's not as easy as traveling abroad..."

However, before she could finish her words, Ming Hai turned his attention to her, his tone somewhat accusing.

"Xiangzi, you too, didn't we agree that we would consider telling our parents after we enter high school next year? Since it's such an important life event, don't say it so easily."

"Hmm." Swallowing the rest of the words, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips in grievance. While lowering her head to admit her mistake, she also tried to keep the dishonest Nagasaki Suyo firmly behind her. "I understand. I will be more careful with my words next time."

"…But speaking of which, a question suddenly occurred to me."

The expression of the girl with sky-blue hair suddenly changed. She looked at him carefully with a thoughtful look, and a smart and cunning light appeared in her amber eyes.

"Mr. Ming Hai, let me ask you...if one day my family arranges a marriage for me and I have to marry him, what would you think?"

Ming Hai couldn't understand the purpose of her question, but the only answer came out of his mouth:

"Didn't I tell you? Attack the Toyokawa family and take Shoko away. It's that simple."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, not at all surprised: "I know what you would do. So what I want to ask is, how would you feel at that moment?"

Ming Hai frowned slightly: "Does it count as feeling...uncomfortable?"

"More carefully, imagine the scene where I am taken away by other men... For example, the person who harassed me today was not Chu Hua pretending to be a bad boy, but a real bad boy. How would you feel when you see this scene?"

She asked very seriously, and didn't look like she was deliberately disgusting herself.

So even though he was helpless, Ming Hai still sighed lightly, closed his eyes and started imagining as he was told.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes expressionlessly. His deep, dark pupils were like a quagmire, reflecting the sunlight with an icy edge.

"Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt before."

It was as if his treasure had been touched by someone else, and anger and viciousness instantly filled his chest.

——That is my mission target, no one can do anything to her!

This is how Ming Hai defined this feeling, and he naturally acknowledged this possessiveness.

But for some reason, Toyokawa Shoko smiled with sudden realization.

"Same as me."

"Same as you?" Ming Hai shook off the unpleasant imagination and looked at the girl. His expression relaxed again and he asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"After I knew that you and Su Shi had a 'good' relationship, I couldn't help but get angry, just like you are now." She deliberately showed an angry expression, and her eyebrows were soon filled with a gentle smile. "I don't want you to be taken away by others, and I don't want others to touch you... It's such a heavy and selfish possessive desire."

"That is to say, Narumi-kun - your feelings for me are no different than my feelings for you!"

Toyokawa Shoko concluded with great certainty, in a tone that did not allow for any rebuttal or sophistry.

"..."

Vaguely understanding what she wanted to say, Ming Hai fell silent, but frowned as if unwilling to admit it.

Toyokawa Shoko looked him in the eyes and spoke the answer for him directly.

"It's strange, isn't it? I like you, but you don't like me, and we have the same feelings."

"Mr. Narumi, when jealousy, envy, possessiveness... all these emotions are focused on one person, generally speaking, this feeling is called love, right?"

"——So, do you not like me, or do you not know that you like me?"

Having said this, she smiled with confidence, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the boy with a wavering look of joy and affection.

Without adding any more fuel to the fire, Toyokawa Shoko quickly said goodbye to the two of them with Sankaku Hatsuka, left the park, and walked towards the mansion.

Just like that, he let Ming Hai and Nagasaki Motoyo get on the train back to the apartment in silence without any worries.
