Finally, I became their white moonlight

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not!" Toyokawa Shoko rolled her eyes at him. She had long known that he didn't have any romantic cells. "In this short life, even if it's very short, even if it will eventually disappear, we should use that little insignificant light to illuminate the terrifying dark night... Don't you think this is a very touching thing?"

Okay, Teacher Xiaoxiang’s chuunibyou is back again.

"I don't think so." Ming Hai shrugged, bluntly showing his disinterest. "It's a little-known fact that adult fireflies communicate and attract mates by emitting light, so these 'touching' fireflies in front of you will mate in a place where we can't see them, and then die within a day or two..."

He thought the girl would scold him for being unromantic and that he was deliberately ruining the atmosphere or something.

Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko just hugged her knees silently, pursed her lips slightly, and her amber eyes reflected twinkling gentle light.

"I know, but so what?"

She whispered, "Even if it's just a moment of light...even if this feeling is just self-satisfaction, even if this feeling will be in vain sooner or later."

“Even if it will bring harm to myself, I still want to fight for it, even if I will regret it in the future.”

As if talking to herself, she did not look at Ming Hai who was stunned beside her, but just raised her palm, as if trying to grasp the starlight in front of her, and slowly tightened her fingers.

"As long as I am happier than anyone else right now, that's enough."

After she finished speaking, Toyokawa Shoko smiled again.

She seemed to have made a decision, her smile blossomed brighter and brighter like fireworks, and suddenly she stood up from the ground.

Then, under Ming Hai's puzzled and surprised gaze.

With a light turn, he ran towards the edge of the cliff surrounded by guardrails.

Volume 127: Chapter Chapter Toyokawa Shoko, I Love You

"Xiangzi?"

Ming Hai was stunned for a moment, and his body reacted almost a second later than her.

——It’s like a cheetah taking a rest and suddenly sees a little white rabbit passing by.

The grass under his feet was crushed instantly. His streamlined figure did not need any warm-up. As soon as the thought started, he burst out with the speed and strength of a beast.

The perfect coordination of muscles and bones, and the zero-time-difference acceleration of blood and breathing, allowed the pair of agile long legs to easily cross the distance of one second and bite the girl's slender and light body a few meters in front of the cliff. One could even feel the itchiness and fragrance brought by the hair that was lifted back brushing past the tip of the nose.

Whenever he wanted, he could grab Xiangzi's hand, throw her to the ground, and ask her what she wanted to do by rushing to the cliff suddenly;

Or he could just say nothing, overtake the girl who hasn't even noticed he's caught up with her, then take a cool leap of faith and jump off the cliff before her, ending this round in a dramatic and chic way.

...Well, because of nervousness and the sudden acceleration of thinking, it is easy to have some messy thoughts.

Ming Hai did not have much chance to think during the lightning-fast action. He instinctively stretched out his hand and happened to see the girl's profile which was still smiling.

With just this one glance, he slowed down his pace and retracted his outstretched hand. He no longer tried to catch the girl who was running forward, but followed her step by step to the edge of the cliff.

——That wasn’t an expression that indicated he was going to commit suicide.

——And if you think about it carefully, the atmosphere just now was obviously pretty good. She had no motive to suddenly jump off the cliff, right?

It’s not like he has a system waiting for his death.

Considering that he was 100% able to catch her and give her a good spanking before she climbed over the guardrail, Ming Hai suppressed his nervousness and waited to see what she would do next.

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't have the intention of "I'm in a good mood today, let's jump off a cliff for fun!", and her forward-looking figure quickly stopped in front of the guardrail.

The roaring in her chest and the passion that permeated her whole body made her pretty face flush. Her trembling fingertips clenched the cold railing. She opened her eyes wide, and her clear and bright eyes were filled with the vast starry sky and valley. She took a deep breath as if to calm the rising emotions in her heart.

Then, word by word, he uttered:

"Mr. Ming Hai, I... don't want to endure it anymore!"

I just wanted to look back like a heroine.

A resentful and low voice sounded not far behind her.

"So, this is why you did this dangerous thing to scare me?"

"ah!?"

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly shuddered all over and screamed cutely. She subconsciously clung to the railing behind her. Her pupils shook slightly in disbelief and she looked at Minghai in panic.

"How come you caught up so quickly?"

She had originally wanted to seize the moment when he hadn't reacted and give him a surprise that was unexpected and dramatic and romantic...

But when she turned around, she found that the person was not only behind her, but was also staring at her viciously, with a cold expression that said, "If you don't give me an explanation, I won't let you get down the mountain tonight."

After a brief shock, Toyokawa Shoko was overwhelmed by a great sense of happiness and security, and her heartbeat could not be faster.

She was delighted by the worry in his eyes, but also annoyed that her little wish was unfulfilled - her mind seemed to be filled with the emotions of a girl in love, entangled to the point of being inseparable, and her every move was influenced by the person she liked.

"Really..."

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lips lightly, seeming to be angry.

"Can't this guy play by the rules a little bit?"

"Rather, when did you get the illusion that I couldn't catch up with you?" Ming Hai crossed his arms over his chest, staring down at her slightly changing expression as if he was interrogating a prisoner, and his tone was very tough, "The cliff is very dangerous. If you just want to scare me, you can go back and sit down now."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed as if admitting defeat.

——Although the surprise failed, at least I saw him become a little tsundere due to nervousness, so it was worth the trip, right?

Of course, this was not the reason why she ran to the edge of the cliff.

What needs to be done still needs to be done, but there will be less dramatic conflicts and strong twists... Even without those things, the stage belonging to the two of them will not end.

Thinking silently in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko turned around again.

The silver light sprinkled on her, as if she was covered with a hazy veil, making her quiet and gentle expression appear holy and ethereal for a moment.

She looked up at the starlight, as if those bright and twinkling stars were the audience below the stage, and the endless mountains were the scenery on the stage.

After a short silence.

The clear and pleasant voice, like a poem or a song, turned into a gentle breeze, floating up melodiously from in front of Ming Hai.

"At this point, it seems that there is no point in saying more."

"I can't seem to leave you, and the days with you."

"No matter how many times I have to be frustrated, I will shed tears alone in my bed."

"Whether it's a momentary starlight or a faint and short-lived firefly."

"Because you light up my world."

"so……"

"I wish to chase your echo for eternity."

The melody was improvised, the lyrics were pieced together from the heart; there was no technique, only overflowing emotions.

She seemed to be thinking about nothing, just concentrating on singing with her eyes closed - like the lead singer of their family, singing out everything she had.

Only when the singing faded away and the echo disappeared in the valley did the girl slowly open her eyes.

"Mr. Ming Hai..."

Toyokawa Shoko turned around and stood in front of him quietly and gently, with her face slightly raised, her pupils as bright and clear as if they were filled with starlight.

"I don't know when it started, but I fell in love with you... I like you, I like you very much, I like you to the point that I can't live without you!"

With her palms pressed against her chest, she tried hard to hold back the fear and trembling coming from her body. She stared into Minghai's eyes sternly and seriously, and her voice was so clear that even the sound of the wind could not cover it.

Don't care about the past, and don't care about the future.

It's just that she now wants to say this to him now -

"I don't want to endure it any longer... I don't want to speculate any more."

"Could you please give me a correct answer again?"

Beneath those firm and resolute eyes, there lies the weakness and uneasiness of being afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

My heartbeat was hitting my eardrums uncontrollably, and I had to use a lot of effort to steady my shaky body and not let my almost stopped breathing suffocate me.

Perhaps I saw the possibility I wanted.

This time she did not hold anything back and really gave everything she had to him, as if she had dug out her heart and held it nakedly in her hands.

If that pair of warm hands didn't take it, this heart would fall directly to the ground, broken and bleed, stained with grass and dust, and could never be put back in the chest, right?

——Even so, I want to hear the response of this feeling from him.

Toyokawa Shoko loves Ming Hai so much and wants to be the person he likes.

She felt it again...

It feels like standing on a cliff with a bottomless abyss in front of you, but there is no guardrail to hold on to.

"..."

The world suddenly fell into deathly silence.

The expectation and anxiety in the girl's eyes were like ripples that spread into his unprepared heart.

Ming Hai suddenly felt his hands and feet numb, as if his whole body was locked up by that heavy and persistent emotion, but his consciousness was clearer than ever before.

——He never thought that she would confess at this time.

——He never thought that he would be confessed to first.

——He knew... Xiangzi would indeed confess his feelings at this time.

Although she once said that she actually had a very bad personality and needed me to assist her and pull her back on track when she made mistakes.

But Ming Hai actually understood better than anyone that Toyokawa Shoko did not need his help.

She has the resilience to face any difficulties, the stubbornness to stand up again no matter how many times she fails, and the courage to face any reality.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but admire her for always being able to do things that he couldn't do unconsciously.

For example, the sincerity in the face of love, or the reckless impulse...

For example, when he was hesitant, knowing that there might be a bottomless abyss ahead, he took the initiative to give up everything and stepped onto the cliff in order to make the two people's stagnant steps move forward again.

Then the question comes-

When did I really fall in love with this fragile yet strong girl?

Before his accelerated thinking started to go astray again, Ming Hai couldn't help but laugh and put all those unnecessary thoughts behind him.

"Yeah, why think so much?"

"The most important thing is not 'what I think'...but 'what I want her to think'."

"I want to make her happy, I want her to be happy, I want her to scream out loud with excitement like a child, I want her to be so moved that she can't speak..."

"I want her to know whether I, who cares so much about her, really like her or not."

Someone once asked:

"Do you like Xiangzi now?"

The evening breeze blew gently.

Ming Hai looked at the sea of ​​stars behind her, and her mood became more relaxed and broad than ever before.

The beating of my chest seemed to become an echo, playing heavily and gently in the valley.

Yeah...it started from that time.

His answer will not change.

-

"Xiangzi, can you close your eyes?"

Ming Hai suddenly spoke, his voice soft and cautious.

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment. Although she was confused, her head was so stiff from nervousness that she couldn't think, so she instinctively chose to close her eyes and follow Minghai's instructions.

Ming Hai stretched out his palm and gently placed it on her soft and hot cheek. His fingertips touched her ears from her chin and then carefully brushed across her hair, leaving rough and warm marks like a caress.

Every slight touch made Toyokawa Shoko tremble slightly, and she leaned on the railing with rapid breathing and weak body.

In order not to make any strange noises, she pursed her lips tightly and curled her fingers nervously. She didn't dare open her trembling eyelashes and could only let him touch her face as if she had lost consciousness.
