Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 309 Absurd
Although it is an old house, the bathroom of Yuanqiao's house is not small. The interior has been redecorated several times. It is bright and spacious, with everything you need.

As the most important configuration, the bathtub is also relatively large, enough to accommodate two or three people of normal size.

Sitting in the bathtub, Hongzi leaned on one side, staring at a corner of the sky outside the window in a daze, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

The sun is bright, and the afternoon is not halfway through, so it's not time to take a bath.

And Zhao Wuling, who was sitting opposite, was also distracted.

"Ling, do you want to soak for a while?"

She came back to her senses, "Anything."

Hongzi got up and sat on the edge of the bathtub, then suddenly stopped, looking at her tentatively: "What Ling said before..."

Looking up at Wuling, he looked back at her: "Do you want to know now?"

Hongzi nodded and sat down again, "I want to hear it."

She wants to hear it.

just listen.

Hongzi inadvertently revealed that she didn't have a high degree of belief in this matter, and she had the mentality of being helpless and might as well listen to it, Chao Wuling didn't care about it.

"you like him."

"Ah... um."

Apart from her mother, it was the first time for Hongzi to admit her feelings frankly in front of others.After a short period of shyness, a surge of enthusiasm in her heart made her no longer evade. She looked directly at the naked girl in front of her, and the words in her mouth became firm and coherent.

"I like him. That's right, I like Soya. If Suzu is talking about how to get Soya, please tell me, please."

"I will help you." Chao Wuling looked at her, "The premise is, what are you willing to pay for it?"

Hongzi opened his mouth, and immediately spit out two words: "Everything."

Chao Wuling shook her head, "It's not that I don't believe you, but that I've heard too many similar words. All those who say they are willing to give up everything for someone or something actually don't want to give up anything in their hearts, so they Use the vague "everything" to cover up all the things you don't want to give up. When you really need to give up, pick out an insignificant thing from "everything" and give it up, or just turn around and run away."

"..."

Hongzi blushed slightly, unable to refute for a while, and even began to feel that she really had such an idea just now.

What is she willing to pay for Zong Gu?
After a while, Hongzi broke free from the self-torture deep in her heart, and said again: "I am willing to give everything for Soya."

Chao Wuling asked again: "Does that include him?"

"..."

Hongzi was stunned for a few seconds, thinking she had heard wrong.

"What do you mean... the price for me to get Zongya is to lose Zongya?"

Zhao Wuling nodded.

Hongzi became more and more confused, "I don't understand..."

"I'll explain." Chao Wuling looked at her, "The second question is..."

"Wait a minute." Hongzi interrupted her.

She was so calm that there was no ups and downs, "you say."

Hongzi stared into her eyes: "Why did Ling help me?"

Zhao Wuling was silent for a rare moment.

"Because I like him too."

"Eh?"

Asagiri also likes Soya, and Hongzi doesn't know whether she should be surprised by this expected fact, or should be confused by the reason for her action.

She continued: "I don't want him to continue to constrain himself, suffering from unavoidable choices. Life is short and there is no chance to start over. Such constraints will only leave eternal regrets."

Looking at the sky outside the window, Zhao Wulingxu said, "I don't want him to regret."

Hongzi can vaguely guess that he is one of the "choices that cannot be chosen", but he still has so many doubts that he doesn't even think about the true meaning of the so-called "short life" and "regret".

"But Suzu also likes Soya, if you help me, then..."

"You don't need to worry about it. In the end, he..." Chao Wuling paused for a few seconds, and changed his words in a way that would not cause Hongzi too much uneasiness, "He will make it up to me."

Like now she's trying to make it up to him, she thought.

Hongzi fell silent, and at the same time remembered the differences between Soya and Chao Wuling that were almost written on their faces before they came back.

"This matter... Soya doesn't know yet, does he?"

"...I don't know." Sogu said, and leaned forward again, letting the two feet propped on his back slide down, "How could I know that there are other interesting places nearby? You should ask Hong Son is right."

Kirino Akane was lying on the floor, stepping on his back with both feet, stepping on it like walking, to the limit.

"Hongzi is still taking a bath... He hasn't come out yet. How can the time last? It's not yet three o'clock." She was surprised that Hongzi and Zhao Wuling hadn't come out of the bathroom for a long time, but she also Did not think about it.But Zong Gu, who guessed the reason, was soon interrupted again.

"Hey."

Kirino Akane supported her body with her arms, moved a little towards him, and put her feet directly on his shoulders.

"'Help, I've got a foot on my shoulder'..." she said in a low voice, giggling again, shaking her foot back and forth.

Shaking her shoulders didn't work, Soya grabbed her left and right ankles again, separated them, and let them go.

Two feet tapped his legs, "Let me rest for a while, how stingy."

"It's not in your own home, you should be more careful."

She put her feet up again, "Hongzi's grandmother is not at home right now."

"There will be people passing by outside."

"This is the courtyard, no one will come directly. Even if there is someone, Soya can see it first..."

"--someone is coming."

Akane Kirino was taken aback, then pinched her feet between her feet, "You lied to me."

"Oh."

The middle-aged woman outside walked up to Yuanbian, looked at Soya who had feet on his neck, and then at the girl behind him whose face turned red rapidly.

"Are you children of Yuanqiao's family, faces you haven't seen before?"

"Do not……"

After regaining her senses, Akane Kirino immediately put her feet down, sat up again, and shrank behind Soya with her head buried.

"I'm here to see Ms. Qianhua, is she at home?"

"Grandma is chatting at the neighbor's house next door. I'll call her. Come in and sit down for a while." Soya was about to get up, but the other party refused with a smile.

"No, I'll go there by myself." The middle-aged woman said, and smiled at the girl behind him with only the top of her head exposed, "Excuse me."

She turned and left, and quickly disappeared outside the courtyard wall, Zong Gu looked back at Akane Kirino.

"It's embarrassing."

"……Humph."

She raised her head and bumped her head against his back again, but Soya didn't move.

Akane Kirino sat back again, laying down on the back, raised her feet and tried to repeat the old trick.

Soya turned around and grabbed her feet first.

"Be honest."

With her legs separated, she struggled a few times, "Let go first."

Soya looked at her wordlessly.

"Okay, I won't catch up..." This gesture was inexplicably shy, Kirino Akane quickly compromised, but she didn't completely admit defeat, "You're so stingy."

Only then did he let go of his hands, put her feet down, and turned around again.

The atmosphere is a little colder.Kirino Akane was still lying on the floor, staring at Soya's back for a while, she took the initiative to ask, "Who was that person just now?"

"I don't know, it should be a neighbor nearby."

"Could it be Hongzi's relative?"

"That's impossible to guess."

She felt that the two were a little far away, so she took another two steps towards him, spread her legs and stretched them towards him.

Soya glanced at it, but said nothing.

"Songya..."

"Ah."

She had nothing to say, "Do you like summer?"

He smiled for no reason, and restrained himself quickly, without letting her notice, "I like it."

"I love it too, wish summer never ends."

"That can't be done, I still want to go to Lanshan to see Hongfeng."

"Ah." Akane Kirino suddenly became interested, sat up, put his shoulders behind her, and blocked part of the wind from the electric fan with her body, and the remaining wind blew over the faint fragrance of her body, "We will go together when the time comes Bar."

Soya responded.

Holding his shoulders, she continued, "Lanshan isn't the only place to enjoy maple leaves in Kyoto. I've been to everywhere."

"Where is Liuliguangyuan?"

"Hey, Soya still knows that place, and I've only been there once, and there's a long queue."

"Well, I will go there once in a while."

She was even more surprised, "The Liuliguangyuan is only open from April to June in spring, and from October to December in autumn. What does Soya do there?"

Soya turned his head back, "Don't tell others: that's actually where the Kinki Spiritual Enlightenment Organization is located."

"..."

Akane Kirino opened her eyes wide, and nodded again and again after a while, expressing that she would never leak the secret.

"It's not a secret either. Nine out of ten spiritually aware people know about it."

"I don't know."

"Now I'm telling you."

She smiled again, grabbed his shoulder and shook it a few times.

Zonggu was dizzy from being shaken by her. He struggled forward and said, "Move to the side, I want to lie down for a while."

"Ok."

She stepped aside, and Soya lay down, looking at half the eaves and half the sky overhead.

Akane Kirino also lay down next to him, shoulder to shoulder with him, her freshly dried long hair spread all over the floor.

Soya moved aside to make a gap, explaining that it was hot when she looked over.

"Why haven't Hongzi and Ling come out yet?"

"You go and see."

"Why not Soya?"

"I mean go in and have a look."

Akane Kirino just sat up when there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the living room.She looked over and saw Hongzi standing at the door with a complicated expression on her face.

"Red Son."

Soya also looked back.

She came over, sat down beside him, and looked at him for a while.

"Hongzi?" Kirino Qian looked at her.

Realizing her gaffe, she covered it up and said, "Has Zongya also taken a bath?"

"It's been washed. I borrowed the bathroom from the neighbor's house."

"yes."

Hongzi looked at Akane Kirino again, "What are you talking about?"

"I just learned a secret... Ah, can I tell Hongzi about this?"

Sogu glanced at her, "I knew you couldn't hide."

"Hey, it's because it's Hongzi. Is it okay?"

"up to you."

So Akane Kirino told Hongzi the secret of Liuliguangyuan. She was also a little surprised, but obviously she didn't care much.

Kirino Akane concluded with some envy: "Soya is really happy to be a civil servant inside."

"...What nonsense, when did you see me working there?"

"That's because Soya is still in school, so he will go there after graduation?" She didn't know anything about the institution, so she could only guess out of thin air.

Soya shook his head, "No."

She wanted to ask something else, but Hongzi on the other side suddenly asked her to help her get a dry towel to dry her hair.

"No problem~"

Kirino Akane was happy to do such a small thing for her, and got up and left Yuanside and the living room.

Seeing her leave, Hongzi immediately looked at Zongya, but he spoke first.

"No matter what Bell says to you, don't accept it."

"..."

Hongzi fell silent for a moment.

After a while, she said: "Sure enough, it's just like what Ling said, the person who opposes it the most is actually Soya himself."

Soya also understood that Zhao Wuling had already told her that absurd idea.

Hongzi continued, "What I want to say is that I didn't agree to Bell... I'm also on Soya's side."

He looked at her, "I have nothing to say, I can only say that Hongzi is still rational."

"Because I haven't given up yet."

Her persistence is also not what he wants to see, although he doesn't want her to give up.

Rationality and desire confront each other, and he now finds himself leaning more and more towards the latter.

【"...as long as you want."】

The seeds that had been planted early had already sprouted and broke through the ground, and under his intentional or unintentional neglect and the birth of desire, they quickly grew into thorny vines, which became tighter and tighter in his heart, and the sharp thorns became deeper and deeper. Its growth is not, and even ignoring it as before has become a luxury.

Feeling conflicted in his heart, Soya just nodded.

Hongzi took a long breath and looked at him again.

"Suzu said she likes Soya too."

A complicated smile appeared on his face, and he wanted to explain seriously, but in the end he only uttered a few words: "Childhood sweetheart."

She didn't ask him what he thought of Chao Wuling.

"One more thing, you have to answer me seriously."

"You said."

"Ling also said, Qian also... um!"

Suddenly being covered by him, Hongzi's eyes widened.

And the next moment, Akane Kirino returned to the living room shaking the towel in her hand, and Zhao Wuling followed behind her.

"Ah, you're bullying Hongzi again!"

Sogu put down his hands and looked at them calmly: "It's all your fault for taking too long, she couldn't wait, so I took off my T-shirt and wiped her hair."

"Eh……"

"..."

Hongzi was in a complicated mood and forgot to refute for a while, but Akane Kirino took it seriously.

"Sorry, I just brushed Bell's hair in the bathroom for a while."

"No, it's okay..."

She came over and sat behind her, "Let me wipe Hongzi off."

"it is good."

Asagiri also walked to the side, and stopped beside Soya.He looked at her, she raised her foot and landed between his legs, then the whole person squeezed in, sat down in his arms with her back facing, and leaned back.

"..."

There was still some wet short hair against his chin, Soya pursed his lips tightly.

Hongzi and Akane Kirino who were beside them also stopped their movements, looking at the two people who were relying on each other, either with complicated moods or dazed and agitated.

"bell……"

Chao Wuling turned to look at Akane Kirino who spoke, "What's wrong."

"Do not……"

She felt that she reacted quickly, so the flash of irritability in her heart should have been well hidden, "Isn't this hot?"

"Fortunately."

"All right……"

Zhao Wuling glanced at Hongzi briefly again, without any communication, she turned her head and continued to lean against Soya's arms.

"...What does Ling want to do?" He lowered his head and whispered like a sigh.

"This is my place." Her voice remained unchanged, and Akane Kirino and Hongzi also heard it.

Soya got up and left, "I haven't dried my hair yet, I'm going to get a towel."

Looking back at Wuling until he left the living room, he didn't glance at the other two silent girls.

Akane Kirino rubbed her hair sullenly, but her mind was completely out of sight, Hongzi suddenly pressed the towel and her hand.

"Cy, I'll do it myself."

"Oh... well."

She sat aside, first lay down, then sat up quickly, her eyes wandering around, and finally they would always fall on the petite girl whose back was turned.

Hongzi watched calmly from the side, his heart getting heavier and heavier.

Bell before proving to her what she said before.

After a while, Soya returned to the living room with a dry towel, and wiped Asagirin's short hair that moved with the wind.

"Songya..."

He looked at Akane Kirino.

It took her a few seconds to think of Huatou, "I want to eat popsicles."

"Ah."

"Let's go buy it. By the way, I still have a popsicle stick that won a lottery."

Kirino Qian got up and wanted to find it, but couldn't remember where she put it, and was stunned for a while.

"Upstairs." Sogu reminded.

"Upstairs...by the way, in the room."

She got up and left the living room, and went to the second floor amidst the creaking sound.

Hongzi looked at Zonggu, but he suddenly sighed: "Don't bring her into it."

"I didn't say anything to her." Chao Wuling shook his head, and leaned back into his arms, with a towel that was still dry after wiping for a long time on his hair.

Between the ups and downs of her thoughts, Akane Kirino had already returned downstairs.

"Let's go."

Supporting Zhao Wuling, Soya stood up, looked at her and Hongzi again, "It's still the same taste as in the morning, is it okay?"

"..."

He glanced at Wuling and sat down again.Hongzi's eyes wandered, hesitating.

"No, I want a different flavor." She stayed at home anyway, "Cy help me choose."

"Okay." Kirino Akane nodded.

The two went out and left through the entrance, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.

"how so……"

Hongzi arched his legs and lowered his head.

"You should have had a hunch." Chao Wuling looked outside.Using such a method to stir up the emotions of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she suddenly hated herself a little.

But she didn't stop.

"You just pretended not to see it, and you don't want to affect the friendship between each other."

"..."

Hongzi clenched her lips, and buried her head deeper in her arms.

Chao Wuling looked up at the sky, then took off the towel from his head and folded it into pieces.

"Now, she hasn't realized this. When she realizes it, the wildness in her will drive her..."

"--I go out for a while."

She turned her head, only to see the back of Hongzi leaving in a hurry.

"Cy!"

Akane Kirino turned her head in surprise, and Soya also stopped.

"Hongzi?"

Hongzi trotted to catch up, panting slightly, "I don't quite believe Qian's gaze, so I came here by myself."

"Hey...that's too much!"

She smiled slightly and took her hand.

"Let's go. Do you remember the shortcut to the commissary?"

"You should remember...don't worry about it, as long as Soya remembers."

Hongzi glanced at Zongya who was silent, "Don't rely too much on Zongya."

Kirino Akane also looked at him, smiling when they looked at each other.

"It doesn't matter, we'll always be together anyway."
