Chapter 85 It’s me who takes the next step
  "Thank you for sending us back to the garden~"

After getting off the bus, Xiaolan waved goodbye to Yuanzi, "We'll see you at school tomorrow~"

"Well, see you tomorrow~" Yuanzi also smiled and waved goodbye to her friend.

At this moment, only two sisters, Sonoko and Ayako, were left in the car. Karasawa had already returned to his residence before seeing off Xiaolan and others.

"Ah~ I had so much fun~" Sonoko exclaimed as she piled on the seat without any image.

"Well, it is indeed a good vacation." Ayako looked at her lazy sister from the side and did not lecture her. Instead, she smiled gently.

"It's a pity." Yuanzi said this and looked at the elder sister with a sad face, "Our purpose of going on vacation has made no progress at all!!"

Hearing what her sister said, Ayako blushed, and then she whispered sheepishly: "Actually... there is still some progress..."

"Eh...Eh? Eh!!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanzi immediately jumped up from his seat, hit his head on the roof of the car, and covered his forehead in pain, causing a panic.

"Yuanzi, are you okay?"

Faced with her sister's relationship, Yuanzi didn't care at all about her hurt head. Instead, she looked directly at her elder sister and asked repeatedly: "What did you just say!? Did I hear you right? Is there any progress!?"

Facing Sonoko's questioning, Ayako was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded.

"What happened!! When!! Why didn't I know!?"

Seeing her elder sister's confirmation, Sonoko was even more excited than Ayako, the client, and asked questions repeatedly.

"Actually, it was when you were dragged by Conan to chase Xiaolan..." Ayako whispered back.

"Nani Nani!! What's going on? What's going on next?" Sonoko immediately became energetic when she heard this. She hugged Ayako's arm and asked again and again.

"Watching a movie!?" Yuanzi couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the whisper, "And it was Tangze Criminal who took the initiative to invite you!?"

"Sonoko, it's too loud!" Ayako covered Sonoko's mouth in embarrassment, trying to make her keep her voice down.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yuanzi waved his hand, "Don't you see that the soundproof board is closed properly? The driver in front can't hear it. Don't worry, sister."

"But I really didn't expect it." Yuanzi pinched her chin and said unexpectedly: "I thought you were taking the initiative, Sister Lai, but I didn't expect that the other party took the initiative...

This is really unexpected. I thought that although Tangze Criminal was sharp and decisive at work, he was like a "reasoning maniac" I knew, a relatively slow and timid type. But I didn't expect that he was unexpectedly courageous. ah. "

"Because everything has been seen through..." Ayako thought to herself, a little shy.

Looking at the night outside the window, the sound of the garden in my ears became farther and farther away, gradually becoming a background sound, while the previous memories in my mind became vivid again.

.......
  Izu.

In the sunny weather, the waves turn golden under the reflection of the sun, and the sea breeze blows from time to time, making people squint their eyes unconsciously.

On the outdoor dining table, because everyone else had run away, only the two of them were left.

"Um...Ayako-san, I remember that you were in the film research club at university. You should like watching movies very much, right?"

After a period of silence at the dinner table where only two people were left, Tangze spoke first to break the calm.

"Movies? Of course I like it." When talking about her favorite topic, Ayako returned to normal from the uncomfortable feeling and said with a smile. "I wonder if there are any good movies to watch recently?" Karasawa asked: "I feel like I don't have any personal time lately. I want to take the time to watch a movie and relax. Ayako-san, do you have any recommendations?"

"I haven't been to a movie for a long time, and I don't know what has been released recently." Ayako said slightly apologetically.

"Then if you don't mind, after we return to Tokyo, why don't we go watch a movie together?" Karasawa smiled slightly and extended an invitation to Ayako.

"Huh!?"

Ayako's slightly panicked voice sounded. The sudden invitation made her panic, but she quickly reacted and nodded, and after a long time she softly said "hmm".

"Then I'll make an appointment with you in advance next week. After all, I don't know if there will be an emergency, so I'll decide the time. On the other hand, it's up to you to choose what movie to watch."

Tangze smiled and said: "But please do one thing, don't choose a horror movie, I can't stand that kind of movie."

"I know." After hearing Karasawa's usual words, Ayako recovered from her shyness, smiled softly and nodded.

Karasawa looked at Ayako and smiled: "Did thoughts like "So Karasawa-kun is afraid of ghosts" flash through your mind just now?"

"No, no." Ayako waved her hand, and then said sheepishly: "It's just a little unexpected."

"Well, I just don't like it." Tangze spread his hands and said helplessly: "My work is already very serious, and I don't want to watch horror movies to add a gloomy atmosphere."

During the chat, after a topic ended, Ayako was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Kang Zejun, I want to ask you a question..."

"Huh? What is it."

"Why did you...invite me to a movie?"

After Ayako hesitated for a moment, Ayako mustered up the courage to ask with a little nervousness, a little shyness, a little hope, and an emotion she couldn't explain clearly.

"You should have heard such a story." Karasawa did not answer Ayako's question, but instead told a very old story.

A boy and a girl like each other, but they fail to muster the courage to speak and take the first step. Eventually, as time goes by, the two separate.

When the two met again many years later, they had already lived their own lives. They greeted each other with a smile, then passed each other and never saw each other again.

Sometimes they also wonder, if they muster up the courage to take that step, will it end sadly, or will they spend a lifetime together?
  But all of that can only be imagined, because the step that has not been taken has not been taken in the end, and it can no longer be taken.

"So if someone has the courage to take the first step, how can I let her continue to take the first step towards me."

There was a gentle smile in Tang Ze's eyes: "It's me who will take the step this time."

.........

But in such a situation, how can you have the nerve to tell your sister about it without being teased to death by then? Plus with Yuanzi's character, I'm afraid it won't take more than two days for the whole family to find out.

So no matter how Sonoko asked after that, Ayako kept smiling but didn't speak, which made Sonoko as curious as a cat tickling her, but she had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the changing scenery outside the car window, Ayako unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

This reminded her of the first time they met.

----

PS: The emotional line shouldn’t be too abrupt or hard to understand =-=
  To put it simply, Ayako appeared in a plot that shouldn't have appeared, and Karasawa knew the original story trajectory, so he naturally knew Ayako's thoughts, so he chose to take the initiative (〃'▽'〃)~
