Finally, I became their white moonlight

——Is kissing so comfortable? It seems that all the relationships I had in my previous life were fake?

To be honest, Ming Hai did have a few girlfriends in his life, but it seems that he has never felt so sure that he likes someone as he does now...

Otherwise, this wouldn't be the first time he took the initiative to confess to someone.

In any case, Ming Hai had to admit that he was addicted to kissing Toyokawa Shoko.

I have been infected with epilepsy in this life and there is no cure for it.

"Eh? On the picnic mat..."

Hearing him say this, Xiangzi subconsciously looked towards the picnic mat that was large enough for two people to lie flat on. His face became even redder as if blood was dripping, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly, protesting shyly: "I won't refuse, so don't be so impatient! If it's the first time, it would be better to do it on the bed. And you didn't bring 'that thing' with you..."

Ming Hai realized almost instantly what she had misunderstood.

But if it's exposed directly, this sultry and unaware young lady would definitely be ashamed to the point of breaking down, right?

By then, you might even be too shy to kiss.

For her mentality and for his own sake, Ming Hai decided to step forward and was willing to bear the name of LSP - even if he was misunderstood as a pervert who wanted to spend his first night on a picnic mat after his first kiss?

Anyway, Xiangzi won’t hate him for this.

"Indeed, let's talk about it later... There is still one thing I haven't done yet."

Ming Hai smiled casually, raised the ribbon in his hand again, and looked at her gently: "It won't come to this, you still don't want to accept my gift?"

"Aren't my actions the best answer?"

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head, with a slight smile and full of affection in her eyes.

She turned around and put her long hair behind her ears, revealing her small white ears, which were still red and looked delicious.

"Narumi-kun, help me tie it up."

Ming Hai's hand, which was about to be raised, stopped in mid-air, and he coughed awkwardly twice: "...Miss, how can I help girls tie their hair? I haven't even started learning this subject yet."

Toyokawa Shoko held her waist with one hand and sighed helplessly: "If you don't have the confidence to tie my hair, why did you untie my hair? You can just give me the hairband."

"I think this is quite romantic, so..."

"Yes, it's Narumi-kun's kind of romance~" Toyokawa Shoko said jokingly as she took the hairband and quickly re-tied the two ponytails hanging on her sides. She glanced at Narumi with her charming eyes, "How is it?"

Ming Hai decisively gave a thumbs up: "It looks great."

"There's a flower on it." Toyokawa Shoko twisted the headband and felt the flower-shaped embroidery with her fingertips. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What flower is it?"

"The flower language of the glimmering flower is gentleness and unique love." Ming Hai said the information he had found, "It symbolizes that in the vast universe, although we are just an insignificant star, we are still willing to make endless efforts and pursuits for each other until we become the brightest star in each other's lives."

"The color change of this rose is just like its name, from the initial warm orange to the final light pink, symbolizing a person's transformation from youth to maturity."

Toyokawa Shoko stared blankly at his serious expression. After a moment, she turned her head to look at the starry sky outside the cliff, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"... Narumi-kun-style romance is also pretty good."

As she spoke softly, she lowered her hand, letting the amber hairband blow back and forth in the night wind, and tightly grasped the warm and thick hand beside her.

"Now, do you want to shout into the valley? I want to hear the echo."

Ming Hai also turned around and stood in front of the guardrail with her, quietly admiring the silent yet magnificent starry night.

"Okay, what do you want to shout?"

"I like you."

"Uh... I'm not good at this kind of thing. Shouting out to the valley and stuff..."

"Huh~ I asked Deng to shout "I want to be a human" to the people under the overpass, but when it was my turn, I couldn't do it~"

"The situation is different... And even if I don't do this, I can still hear the echo, right?"

"What's the response?"

"I like you."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes and let out a slow sigh, allowing the entire valley to hear the satisfaction and happiness in her heart.

"Yeah... no need to worry anymore, there won't be any echo."

Skirt~

Volume 129: Chapter Chapter [Phase : Echoes - Achievement has been achieved.]

The unchanging night blurred the perception of time, or perhaps it was just the sweet atmosphere of their world of two that made them unable to pay attention to the sand slipping through their fingers.

It felt like only about ten minutes had passed from the time they met to the time they went up the mountain, but when Ming Hai came to his senses, let go of his girlfriend's thin and soft waist, and took out his cell phone to check.

——23:30.

Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed.

While being surprised at how quickly time passed, Ming Hai casually clicked on an unread message.

Nagasaki Suyo: "Why don't you come back? If you don't come back, I will lock the door."

Sent time: 23:00.

Ming Hai: "Sorry, we have a little time difference here, let's go back now."

Nagasaki Suyo seemed to be still awake and replied to a short message in seconds.

"? 』

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Ignoring the continuous question mark attacks from behind, Ming Hai put away his phone, patted the head of the girl in his arms, stood up from the picnic mat, and began to pack up the lunch box, water bottle and other miscellaneous items.

"time……?"

Mumbling something, Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her eyes, and sat down softly on the picnic mat like a duck. There was still some confusion and ignorance on her face, and she looked very adorable with her mouth half open.

Ming Hai couldn't help but pinch her soft little face. Coupled with the cool night breeze blowing on her face, the girl, whose mental age seemed to have regressed by five years, gradually regained consciousness.

She yawned and asked lazily like a spoiled child, "Ming Hai-kun~ What time is it now?"

Just now, listening to the boy's steady and regular heartbeat and being embraced by his long and strong arms, Toyokawa Shoko almost fell asleep on him, completely forgetting that they were still enjoying the breeze in the wild.

Such dreamlike time always made her feel as if the dream continued into reality, and she didn't want to wake up at all.

"Half past eleven." Ming Hai answered casually.

"Half...eleven?!"

The moment she reacted, Toyokawa Shoko screamed subconsciously, and quickly swallowed a yawn that was halfway through. Like an author who was suddenly awakened before the deadline, she followed him to pack up with a nervous look on her face.

"How come time flies by so fast? It feels like I've only been here for a short while... Oh, I hope everyone is asleep, otherwise..."

If she let everyone hold back their sleep and worry about her until now, she wouldn't know how to face them when she returned.

"I think it's the other side you should worry about."

Seeing her somewhat ashamed expression, Ming Hai couldn't help but shook his head: "Do you think that the person who is still awake and insists on waiting for you to come back is really just worried about you?"

"You mean..." Teacher Xiaoxiang stopped what he was doing, and his clever little brain turned around a few times, and he quickly understood what he meant, "They are all waiting to hear our gossip?"

Ming Hai deliberately spoke in a low voice: "Or... he is preparing to judge a certain band leader who abandoned the band and whose mind is full of love."

"Trial?!"

His alarmist words frightened her eyes, but before she could panic, Toyokawa Shoko saw the smile in his eyes and slapped him a few times in anger. She puffed up her pink cheeks and muttered:

"Really? What do you mean by abandoning the band? I'm not running out to have a relationship with you during practice, nor am I going out to look at the stars so late at night..."

Ming Hai spread his hands innocently: "Even if 99% of the fault is mine, don't you have 1% fault?"

After a brief silence, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly smiled like a young lady, leaned forward slightly, and her attitude was as gentle and polite as that of a well-educated aristocratic lady.

"No, it's all my fault... It's all because I like you too much. There's nothing wrong with Narumi-kun, okay? Please don't blame yourself."

After they officially started dating, she became more and more natural at using the girlfriend tone - she even learned how to be sarcastic to her boyfriend without any instruction.

People do change...

Ming Hai sighed and slid to his knees decisively: "You are too kind, it is indeed all my fault."

But before he could change the subject, he heard Toyokawa Shoko sigh softly, put away that scary fake smile, and murmured in a depressed tone: "What you said is actually right. Whether it was trying to hide the date from everyone, or ignoring everyone's concerns and staying out so late... These were all mistakes I made out of my own will, which is equivalent to betraying everyone's trust."

"Even if I'm really put on trial, I have nothing to say... This is what they call self-satisfaction, right?"

He sneered, with self-mockery.

She suddenly remembered the conversation with Su Shi before they parted, and also remembered the expressions on everyone's faces as if they had noticed something when she left the room.

"I just went to see the stars with my boyfriend. I'm sorry for making everyone worried." - Can she really say such a thing in front of them as if it were a matter of course?

Toyokawa Shoko thought she couldn't do it, so she felt so heavy and complicated.

——Now that I’m officially dating Ming Hai, what kind of expression and attitude should I use to face the friends who are waiting for us to return in the villa?

Although the answer was so obvious, she was like holding on to a fortress made of sand, fearing that the next moment she let go, everything she had built with great difficulty would suddenly collapse.

"Just like usual."

In a trance, my palms were wrapped in something warmer and broader, and the reassuring touch was transmitted firmly, gradually seeping into my lungs from my fingertips.

Toyokawa Shoko raised her head blankly, just in time to see his relaxed and cheerful smile. His inky black eyes seemed to be sparkling with gentle starlight.

"Don't think too much. You two share a common destiny, right? You are not only friends, but also partners on the road of music together... It's impossible for a relationship that has been connected with great difficulty to be broken so easily."

As if he could see through her thoughts, Ming Hai injected strength into his words and said with great certainty: "So, just go back and explain it to everyone. There is no betrayal of trust, and there is no such thing as self-satisfaction - even if we really date, everything we have now will not change. Just believe this."

"...Really?" Her voice was shaky and fragile.

Ming Hai touched her head: "Of course, would I lie to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Toyokawa Shoko threw herself into his arms, took a deep breath, and greedily absorbed his scent and his heartbeat, as if she wanted to gain endless courage from them.

About ten seconds later, the young lady, who had regained her dignified confidence, left his chest, tidied her messed-up hair, and looked back with a serious expression.

"Mr. Sushi, are you still awake now?"

Ming Hai paused slightly: "...She said that if we don't go back, she will lock the door and won't let us in."

Toyokawa Shoko smiled, and there was no longer any sign of retreat in her eyes, but instead a straightforward, clear, and firm look.

"You're not one to stay up late..."

"Since she cares so much about us, let's go back and tell her the 'good news'."

As for how other people would react, Toyokawa Shoko no longer cared.

Because no matter what, she will protect everything she has now - whether it is Ming Hai, Su Shi, or everyone in the band!

"Order!"

Like a machine that suddenly accelerated, Ming Hai rolled up the picnic mat and put it into his bag. He quickly cleaned up the traces left by the two of them, making sure that no garbage would be left on the mountain.

In just a few seconds, he put his backpack on his back, took the girl's hand, and walked down the mountain together.

"By the way, Ming Hai-kun, where are the pair of headbands I had earlier?" Toyokawa Shoko suddenly asked.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

"It was a birthday gift from my family, and I wanted to keep it well."

"…I'm sorry I took it away without your consent."

"It's okay. Although those headbands are important, I have already gained something more important."

Ming Hai asked knowingly: "Oh? What is it?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook his hand, and stepped on the tiptoes of the mountain road which seemed to have changed a little bit since the way they came. The light and gentle smile on the corner of her mouth seemed like it would never disappear, and it was reflected clearly and brightly in Minghai's eyes.

"Yeah, what is it~"

The mountain wind stopped and the forest became quiet.

After the two left, the sky was still filled with stars.

-

Although they said they wanted to go back quickly, the two were still reluctant to give up this rare time for a night walk and had no intention of quickening their pace to go down the mountain.
