Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

An early summer afternoon.

The sky is clear and blue.

Turn on the air conditioner.

Drinking juice.

A two-player game that could be called art was being played on TV.

The sound of wind chimes drifted from somewhere, quiet and distant.

More importantly, the boy sitting next to me...

Looking at Kitahara Makoto's profile, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly had a subtle premonition in her heart.

This scene and this mood will surely turn into golden memories, remain in the mind forever, and will never be forgotten.

(This feeling can be recalled, but it was already gone at that time...)

The ancient poem that suddenly popped up in her mind made Toyokawa Shoko bite her lips subconsciously.

(Why does it have to become a memory?)

(I can do this myself...)

(I’m already dead even though I say I’m weak, but I’m really weak if I keep running away, right?)

"What is classmate Xiaoxiang looking at me for?"

Kitahara Makoto turned his head and looked over.

"Nothing..." Toyokawa Shoko blushed and looked away as if nothing had happened, "There's something on Kitahara-san's face."

"Huh? Where is it?"

Kitahara Makoto raised his hand to wipe it.

"I'll help you wipe it." Toyokawa Shoko stretched out her right hand, held her breath slightly, and gently wiped Kitahara Makoto's face, "That's enough."

Eyes facing each other.

The girl tilted her pretty face slightly up, and a few slightly curled hair made her look more playful. Her amber eyes were clear and bright, as if she had made up her mind, and she stared at him without dodging.

The air quietly quieted down.

Kitahara Makoto soon sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he coughed twice to break the silence:

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang... I'm sure I won't be able to get through the next chapter. Shall we stop here today?"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but show disappointment:

"That's it?"

Even if you look so disappointed, I won't be soft-hearted and agree to it! If you continue playing, you won't be able to complete other tasks!

"It is said that the next chapter will take longer to complete, so I definitely don't have enough time." Kitahara Makoto explained, "I am also planning to go out for a run and exercise, so I will play it next time when I have time."

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lower lip, her tone unable to conceal her disappointment:

"Since Kitahara-san is busy, let's stop here today..."

Hey, you broke the rules!

He usually looks serious and cold, but now he suddenly reveals a pitiful expression. It's clearly a foul!

Kitahara Makoto really couldn't resist the temptation and gave in:

"Play for half an hour at most."

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and a bright smile quickly appeared on her pretty face: "Thank you, Kitahara~"

"..."

Another hour passed.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Kitahara Makoto resolutely turned off the TV. If he continued playing, he would not be able to complete the other tasks.

"See you tomorrow, Kitahara-san."

Toyokawa Shoko reluctantly stood up to say goodbye, but when she stood up, her body suddenly shook.

"what happened?"

Kitahara Makoto asked with concern.

"It's okay..." Toyokawa Shoko covered her forehead and said hesitantly, "Maybe I've been sitting for too long and I feel a little dizzy."

After a short while, the two of them went out together. After watching Xiaoxiang go to the tram station, Kitahara Makoto turned around and went to the park to run.

Ten kilometers was easily accomplished.

"I'll do push-ups slowly when I get home tonight. Now all I have left is catching fish and shrimp..."

Kitahara Makoto remembered that there was a small river nearby. In the summer evenings, many people would go to the river bank for a walk and enjoy the breeze.

After buying a can of juice drink, Kitahara Makoto went straight to the river.

The number of questions in the Book of Answers has been used up, so I will not go on an adventure into the other world today. Kitahara Makoto told Hongxia about it at noon, and they agreed to go to the other world tomorrow, so now I can be said to have nothing to do.

Speechless all the way.

Twenty minutes later, the river in my memory appeared before me.

The river is not wide, only five or six meters, and the water is very shallow, only up to a person's knees. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the water, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

Kitahara Makoto took off his shoes and walked into the water barefoot. The heat on his body was quickly washed away by the river water, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied:

“Happiness is so simple.”

Catching fish and shrimp is a hunting instinct engraved in men's genes, and no one can resist it.

Kitahara Makoto happily turned over the rocks and started catching fish and shrimps. But after a while, a girl's shout suddenly came from the shore, and it sounded particularly familiar:

"Kitahara-san?"

"Ok?"

Kitahara Makoto looked up and saw a cute girl with short gray hair standing on the river bank, covering her skirt that was blown by the wind with one hand, and looking at him curiously.

"Xiao Deng-san?" Kitahara Makoto was surprised. "Why are you here?"

Takamatsu Deng walked down the steps along the riverside: "I live nearby, and I felt a little bored after staying in the room for a long time, so I came out for a walk and looked for some beautiful rocks... What is Kitahara doing?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and said, "Catching fish and shrimps."

"Eh?"

Seeing the smile on Kitahara Makoto's face, Takamatsu Deng's eyes couldn't help but flicker for a moment.

She is still the same Kitahara, but for some reason, she looks so good when she smiles today, and my heartbeat speeds up uncontrollably...

Kitahara Makoto explained:

"Today is Sunday, and I have nothing to do, so I came here to experience the fun of being a kid."

"Childlike?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng pursed her pink lips and her long eyelashes drooped.

My childhood hobbies were a little different. I liked collecting round things, round stones, and even round bugs.

When I was a kid, I gave watermelon worms to others because they would curl up into a ball when touched, and they were round and cute. But in the end, I scared the person and made him cry. If Kitahara knew about this, he would definitely laugh at me...

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

what's the situation?

I didn't say anything, so why did the aura suddenly become so heavy?

Today is a day for happily catching fish and shrimps, not being suffocated by the pressure of gravity!

Kitahara Makoto thought quickly and picked up a pebble at his feet:

"Xiao Deng, what do you think of this pebble?"

Gao Songdeng raised his eyes and looked over: "It's round and very beautiful."

Kitahara Makoto handed over the pebble: "Then I'll give it to you."

"Eh?" Gao Songdeng was a little at a loss, and shook his head nervously, "It's too expensive, Kitahara-san should keep it himself..."

It's just a pebble, how can it be valuable?

You must have refused gifts from others before, so you were so nervous that you said the wrong thing!

"I'm not very interested in pebbles. Xiao Deng happened to like them, so I'll give them to you." Kitahara Makoto paused, his eyes fell on Gao Songdeng's legs, and suggested, "I just saw a lot of beautiful pebbles. If Xiao Deng is interested, why don't you come to the creek and pick them up yourself?"

Please don't get me wrong.

The reason why I wanted Gao Songdeng to go into the water was not to see her legs, but because the stockings on her legs were emitting a faint light.

Obviously, that pair of optimizable stockings was worn by Xiao Deng again today...

You must take off your shoes when playing in the water.

You can't take off your shoes while still wearing stockings, right?

Kita had said before that if you wear stockings into the water, the stockings will have an unpleasant smell after being soaked in water...

Gao Songdeng hesitated: "I...have never been down the river."

"You've never come down?" Kitahara Makoto stretched out his right hand, "Then you should come down even more. A childhood without catching fish or touching shrimps is an incomplete childhood. Xiaodeng, come down quickly and complete your childhood together."

"Complete childhood..."

Gao Songdeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, his right hand clenched into a small fist, pressed it to his chest, took a deep breath and said:

"I, I'll take off my shoes first."

Xiaodeng was wearing small round-toed leather shoes, and he had to take them off before going into the river.

In order to live up to Kitahara Makoto's expectations, after taking off her shoes, Takamatsu Deng quickly took off her black over-the-knee socks.

so white.

The skin on the girl's legs was white and delicate, as if piled up from snow, so white that it was dazzling in the sun.

Kitahara Makoto said seriously:

"The shoes are just placed by the river. Don't worry, no one will steal them."

After a pause, Kitahara Makoto added silently in his heart:

"Whether the stockings will be stolen is not certain..."

Chapter 159 Are you willing to be my friend for life?

Gao Songdeng put her shoes in order, covered her skirt with one hand, stretched out her right foot, and carefully reached into the river.

I have to say that Xiaodeng's skin is extremely white and delicate, and every blue blood vessel on the instep of her feet can be seen clearly.

"Give me your hand." Kitahara Makoto handed it over. "The water is very shallow, don't worry."

"Hmm, it's so cold..."

Takamatsu Deng held Kitahara Makoto's right hand and carefully entered the water.

"how do you feel?"

Kitahara Makoto asked with a smile.

"The water is very cold..." Gao Songdeng looked down at the clear water that reached his calves and said in amazement, "but it's very comfortable."

"So a childhood without a river is an incomplete childhood." Kitahara Makoto loosened his hand, "There are many beautiful pebbles in the river, Xiao Deng, look for them yourself. If I see any beautiful pebbles, I'll give them to you... Hmm, I saw another one."

Kitahara Makoto bent down, picked up a round, turquoise pebble from his feet, and handed it to Takamatsu Deng.

"Thank you Kitahara-san..."

Gao Songdeng thanked him softly.

"It's too tiring to keep saying thank you." Kitahara Makoto waved his hand, "Friends shouldn't always say thank you."
