Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 289 Finally, finally the furthest step forward

"They are my friends, I must say that."

Ueno Naoko muttered, holding her drink and preparing to leave: "I'm going back to sleep, let's go."

The girl seemed a little cold, bent over and walked quickly.

As if impatient.

After drinking the blueberry milk, get up and throw it in the trash.

When he raised his head again, the blue-haired girl was standing in front of him.

She seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Ueno, what did I say to you?"

"She just told me that she became friends with you."

"That's it." The girl was obviously relieved.

And he couldn't help complaining: "Why does she tell you these things?"

"Because, in the beginning, I used money to make her become Liuli's friend." Xia Tingfei didn't mind telling the secret too much: "But later, when she really became Liuli's friend, The money was returned to me again.”

"It turns out that you can also use money to buy friends." The girl was shocked and looked like she suddenly understood.

"However, there are indeed very few girls worth making friends with like Zhiye." Xia Tingfei gave a slight hint.

Hai Chao Algae thought about it carefully.

——Even though Naoko Ueno had conflicts with herself, she still admired Naoko Ueno.

Xia Tingfei walked to the vending machine again: "Do you need anything to drink?"

"Strawberry milk."

"Hsinyue will kill me." Xia Tingfei couldn't help laughing.

"It's just a drink." Hai Tide Algae couldn't help but muttered.

"Let me buy you Pocari mineral water." Xia Tingfei dropped the coin, took out the blue Pocari mineral water from the vending machine and handed it to the girl.

The seaweed crumbs opened the Pocari mineral water, and her pink lips bit the blue bottle mouth.

My throat rolled and I took a sip of water.

Xia Tingfei looked at the girl. He always thought that the girl looked beautiful when she drank water.

Smooth neck, pink lips, swaying black hair.

The girl blushed a little when she saw it. She couldn't help but stroke her hair: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that you always drank a large bottle of Pocari mineral water in one go." Xia Tingfei said: "At that time, I always wondered how you drank it."

"Well." The girl looked at Xia Tingfei: "It's true."

She said it really, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Holding the Botelli mineral water in her arms, she ran back to her room.

Xia Tingfei just looked at the girl's back with a smile.

——After the girl left, he felt that it was even colder in the foyer.

In the vending machine, Xia Tingfei bought another bottle of vegetable juice.

I didn’t really care about the vegetable juice, I just wanted to bring it to Tsukimura Aoi.

This guy only ate one meal a day.

Then it rained and there was strenuous exercise again.

Xia Tingfei was a little worried that she would die early.

But after going to Yukino Teru's room, Yukino Teru was very confused, "Xiao Kui didn't come back, you should look elsewhere."

With that said, he drove Xia Tingfei away impatiently.

"I had no choice but to go back to my room, but I didn't expect Tsukimura Aoi to be in my room."

"She stood by the window and opened it. The sound of dripping rain was dense and strong, and the wind howled into the room, which was cool and slightly cold."

"If it were another girl, or another person, maybe I would think there would be another good thing."

"But, I really don't think so."

"Do you want to drink vegetable juice? It can probably keep you going until the fourth day?" Xia Tingfei put a square bottle of vegetable juice on the table: "If you were there before, you would faint or be about to die. I can only send you back to the hospital."

Perhaps the word hospital touched the girl.

Tsukimura Aoi slowly turned around and sat in front of the table looking at the vegetable juice.

Her expression was a little stiff.

——Perhaps, her complexion itself is not good-looking either.

Therefore, when this change occurs, it becomes very obvious.

Xia Tingfei asked: "How is it? You have never seen this kind of drink."

"I've been in a sanatorium for ten years. Isn't it normal that I haven't seen this kind of drink?"

The girl looked at the drink and tried to untie the straw and poke it in.

Her pale lips pursed slightly, and her eyelids suddenly drooped.

“Tomato and broccoli flavor.”

"That's probably it." Xia Tingfei looked at the outer packaging. Although it was said to be thirty kinds of vegetable juices, tomatoes and broccoli occupied the largest area.

Perhaps this is why tomatoes and broccoli have such a strong flavor.

The two of them didn't actually have much to say, so they just sat at the low table and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

It was dark outside, and only the rain near Xicui Village would be illuminated by the lights, giving off a vast expanse of white.

"Maybe it's because of the distance. I feel like sitting here is really uncomfortable."

"Do you want to move the table under the window?" Xia Tingfei stood up: "Sitting here, I can only get a little bit of cold wind. I can't see how much rain is coming."

The girl didn't answer, she just stood up and moved a corner of the table.

——This table is not really heavy, it is made of very light material.

Just a slight touch may cause the table to shift from its original position.

Xia Tingfei lifted the other side of the table, and the two of them slowly lifted the table closer to the window.

The girl rested her arms on the table, rested her chin on her palms and looked outside.

Xia Tingfei leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the girl.

The rain was pattering outside the window, and the girl was like a sculpture outside the window.

The cool breeze blew their hair, making them even slightly chilly.

But the girl didn't seem to feel it, and the loose yukata on her body fell off slightly.

The neck looked white and greasy under the bright light.

I don’t know how long it was, but I just felt that the rain outside the window was a little light.

Xia Tingfei finally said: "Before you returned to Dusui Village, where did you live?"

The girl glanced at Xia Tingfei and said, "Where else could it be?"

"In New Tokyo-3, of course," she said.

"Can you tell me your story?"

"There's nothing to talk about." Aoi Tsukimura said slowly, "It's just an ordinary family, just an ordinary home. My father is an ordinary person, and my mother is also an ordinary person."

"Every day is just an ordinary day."

"School, after school, clubs, friends."

"That's all." The girl said lightly, as if she didn't care about what happened before.

"This kind of life is probably ordinary." Xia Tingfei said, "But why is it like this?"

When talking about this, even the girl can't help but frown in pain.

Lowering her eyelids, she looked at her palms.

silent.

Silent, so silent that even Xia Tingfei felt something was wrong.

The girl finally spoke: "It's nothing."

She finally raised her head and looked out the window: "It's just a church. An unknown church." "I understand what she said."

"It's probably some messy organization, like a pyramid scheme, or something even more extreme."

"It seems that being squeezed out of money is a common thing."

"It's really, really unusual," he said.

"Yes, it's really rare and ordinary." Aoi Tsukimura said, "It's just that such rare and ordinary things can make people miserable."

An ordinary but unforgivable thing completely changed her destiny.

Xia Tingfei couldn't help but voice his doubts: "What do you think you would be like if this matter hadn't happened?"

"Wear a suit and fall asleep on the train."

The girl said sarcastically.

——Even without this matter, it would just be a boring youth, and eventually become a social beast who stays up late and works overtime.

I can't find a boyfriend and I don't want to get married.

If he wasn't living with his parents, he would be living alone in an empty home, sitting by the window and watching the rain like now.

"It's no different than now."

she said so.

"As of now, I have nothing to say."

Xia Tingfei stood up: "I'm going to bed. If you want to sleep here first, just ask the maid to bring you a set of pajamas."

Looking at the swaying golden light outside the window, Xia Tingfei said this.

"I probably understand the reason why the girl wants to be here. It's probably because this room is the best place to watch the golden glitter."

"In such a rain curtain, standing in other rooms can only see a dense darkness, and you can't see anything at all."

The girl didn't give any answer, she just kept that action.

Xia Tingfei didn't care very much. He walked to the side and opened the sliding door.

He took out the bedding from the closet and spread it on the tatami. After finishing it, he walked to the middle and turned off the dim light.

He walked to the bed with peace of mind and fell asleep straight away.

The girl sat by the window for a long time, turning her head to look at Xia Tingfei.

Xia Tingfei was really in a deep sleep. He didn't want to wake up at all, so he pretended to be asleep when he said this.

The girl stood up and slowly closed the window without making any sound.

From the closet on the other side, he laboriously moved out his bedding.

Laying it out next to her, she unbuckled her belt.

He took off his yukata like a cicada taking off its shell and stood for a while.

After dense dots appeared on her skin, she got into bed.

Lying in the quilt, the warm feeling made the girl feel a little uncomfortable.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

It's not that I'm afraid of the death-like feeling of nothingness when I sleep.

——What she was afraid of was that when she opened her eyes again, she found that the sun was rising as usual and the windows were filled with light.

That disappointment, that regret.

Let her resist.

But the pain in her body made her toss and turn.

When you are conscious, you will be tortured like this.

Forcing herself to close her eyes, her consciousness gradually became faint.

——It would be nice if we couldn’t see the sun tomorrow.

She prayed heartily.

——Maybe he was too sincere. As expected, he didn’t see the sun the next day.

There are dark clouds accumulating in the sky, and light rain is falling.

It's much better than the rain last night.

When Xia Tingfei saw his classmates, they all happily held their umbrellas and went out to play.

For children in Qingchuan, they will be even happier when they see rain.

Walking in the rain holding various umbrellas, watching.

It seems that many small flowers are blooming on the asphalt road.

However, Xia Tingfei did not look at Naoko Ueno, and her small group did not go out either.

He didn't care when he woke up in the morning and found an extra person next to him.

The only thing she was more worried about was that Aoi Tsukimura was lying on her bed, with gold coins in her eyes and clenched teeth.

——Looks like he is dead.

Xia Tingfei put on a pair, squatted next to her and put her fingers in front of the girl's nose.

The girl opened her eyes, her light golden eyelashes blinking.

He stared at Xia Tingfei, as if telling him what he wanted to do.

Xia Tingfei didn't explain, just prepared to wash up.

"Have you planned to go somewhere else today?"

He asked, but the girl didn't answer anything.

When Xia Tingfei went to wash up, she stepped out of the bed.

The underwear she was wearing was still simple underwear made of seaweed crumbs.

She watched, thinking.

It probably needs to be replaced.

She slowly put on the clothes hanging on the rack nearby. This complicated set of clothes made it a little difficult for her to put on.

Put on the white bloomers first, then the bustier, and finally the skirt and coat.

Fortunately, the waitresses were very helpful and it only took one night to dry it.

Although I don’t know what method to use.

After the girl finished dressing, she was ready to wash up.

But at this time, Yukino Teru came and knocked on the door.

She had messy hair and was wearing denim shorts and a T-shirt that exposed her navel.

"Hey, Xiaokui." Leaning against the door, she yawned and said hello again: "That guy came and asked me to see if you need new underwear. I also have a few new sets. You either ?”

"Don't she have some very good little girls? Why did she come to me?"

Yukino Teru was very disgusted and looked troubled.

Tsukimura Aoi didn't refuse.

"However, I can only give you lower clothes." Yukino looked at Tsukimura Aoi: "You can't use the top either."

Tsukimura Aoi didn't care about this kind of thing.

On the contrary, Yukino Teru was very envious of Tsukimura Aoi's appearance: "Aoi-chan, I remember you looked like this very early on, and you still look like this now. It's really good."

Tsukimura Aoi ignored Yukino Teru's words and just went to get her underwear.

Then it's time to wash up.

Her skin was red and even stinging during the wash.

In the midst of the sting, she felt a little wishy-washy, even a little happy.

I walked out of the bathroom and stood in the corridor looking at the sky outside.

She breathed a long sigh of relief and said slightly happily: "Finally, finally another day has passed. Finally, finally another step forward."
