Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 321 If You Can Shine (Part ) (Thanks to Feng Yixi for the reward)

The cherry blossoms along the Meguro River are in full bloom.

The slender cherry blossom petals are blown away from the branches by the lingering wind, and pass through the crowds of people, their tiredness and fatigue are all tinged with beautiful meanings.

It happened to be a sunny day, so there were more people on the road.

On the long cherry blossom path, there are adults and children, elderly people, college students on spring outings on bicycles, and many loving couples.

They are at different ages and stages of thought, but they have one thing in common.

That is, their faces were filled with brilliant smiles.

The smiling Natsume Kiyoha is no exception.

"See, let me tell you, Meguro River is really suitable for living." He said to the girl beside him with a little excitement.

Hearing this, Hatsukano Suzune looked over with bright eyes.

The boy, who had shaved his beard before going out, looked cleaner and more handsome than usual, and she was distracted without realizing it.

"how?"

Natsume Qingyu noticed the gaze and asked first, then pinched his chin with one hand and said shamelessly, "Are you fascinated by me?"

The narcissistic and funny boy is back.

"I can understand. Are you inviting me to settle down in Meguro River?" Hatsukano Suzune came back to her senses, ignored his nonsense, snorted, and answered the previous question.

She wanted to play a trick on him.

But Natsume Qingyu didn't buy it at all.

"It's not impossible." He continued.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, looked over with a smile, and jokingly said, "Do you want to come live with me? My house is quite big."

cohabitation?

Does this mean living together?

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if a man and a woman lived together.

"...That's not what I meant." Hatsukano Suzune's mind was in a mess, and she was so anxious to explain that she almost bit her tongue.

But she didn't dare to reject him outright, for fear that she might not handle some step well.

"Then what do you mean?"

Natsume Qingyu had a calm face and pretended to be innocent, "Weren't you the one who brought up this matter first?"

"me……"

Suzune Hatsukano suddenly felt that she could no longer control the situation and couldn't explain it clearly no matter what she said.

The temperature on her little face was rising and she seemed to be shy.

Just then, she saw a snack stand in the distance and took the opportunity to change the subject.

“You should refuel after the activity.”

"what do you want to eat?"

"My treat!"

She continued speaking as she pulled the boy forward.

"So generous?" Natsume Qingyu glanced at her and didn't continue teasing her.

"Am I usually stingy?" Hatsukano Suzune shot over with a cold gaze.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat the most expensive one!" Natsume Qingyu quickly changed his words.

"Go, go, go."

…………

"Sister Suzune!?"

The female clerk wearing a white headscarf looked up, her pupils dilated with shock.

He shifted his gaze slightly, and then asked again in a shocking voice, "And Brother Natsume?"

"You guys?!" Finally, the girl looked at their holding hands and suddenly took a step back.

"Xiao...Xiao Kui?" Hatsukano Suzune's expression visibly restrained, with a look of surprise on her face.

Then, Natsume Qingyu felt his palm being scratched lightly.

It was just a light touch, but it felt like being scratched on the tip of my heart, making it itchy.

He didn't have powerful mind-reading abilities, but he could still guess what Suzune Hatsukano was feeling at that moment.

He stepped forward to save the situation, "Yes, it's just as you thought. Your sister Lingyin was defeated by my beauty."

Upon hearing this, Chu Luye Lingyin just made a slight move and pinched the flesh on the palm of his hand.

The boy made a pig-like sound.

"I told you, I felt that the relationship between brother and sister was special." Nohara Aoi saw that the two had a good relationship and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you. Last time I said I would treat you to sushi, but I haven't fulfilled my promise yet."

"Give me two servings of your best dish." The boy, who was about to use the joke of 'exposing child labor' as an excuse to extort money, quickly changed his order.

"Okay, wait a moment."

While waiting, Natsume Qingyu chatted, "Xiao Kui, why are you the only one guarding the store? Where is your mother-in-law?"

When the boy said this, Hatsukano Suzune, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him.

It turned out that he knew from the beginning that this was the Nohara family's store.

"Today, I'm on duty, so let mother-in-law have a good rest."

"You're so sensible, but didn't you go to school today?"

"Please, today is the weekend." Nohara Aoi looked at him with speechless eyes.

"Oh oh..." Natsume Qingyu concealed his embarrassment.

He hasn't been to school recently, and the boring days have slowly made him lose his sense of time.

Before I knew it, it was another weekend.

"Eat something." Hatsukano Suzune handed over the plate of snacks that was served first.

Had meal.

After saying goodbye to the hardworking Xiaokui, they continued walking along the Sakura Line.

"How does it feel to meet the person you like under the cherry tree?" Natsume Qingyu asked about the feeling.

"not bad."

"But it would be better if there were fewer people."

"After all, I still prefer quiet places."

Hatsukano Suzune continued.

"Like a cat?"

"Please don't add weird suffixes to my name." Suzune Hatsukano raised her fist to warn.

"Then... come with me." Natsume Qingyu grabbed Hatsukano Suzune's hand and led her away.

"Where are you going?" The topic was a bit off topic, so Hatsukano Suzune asked subconsciously.

"My secret base."

"Secret base?" Suzune Hatsukano repeated in a low voice as if she had heard an unfamiliar word.

“It’s where I often stayed when I was a kid.”

Natsume Qingyu turned around and gave a bright smile to Hatsukano Suzune, "It's very quiet there."

Starting from the cherry blossom path, they turned into a winding path and climbed a hill which was not very high but overlooked the long line of cherry blossoms and half of the Meguro River.

There are several vegetable plots on the hillside, which are self-operated and self-sufficient by the surrounding residents.

It is surrounded by barbed wire to prevent people from entering.

Under the guidance of Natsume Kiyoha, Hatsukano Suzune followed him and crawled through a hole in the barbed wire.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Suzune Hatsukano felt uneasy, as if she was doing something shameful.

"It's okay, we're not stealing vegetables."

"But...others are stopping us because they don't want us to go in." The girl, who had received an aristocratic education since childhood, had never experienced such a thing.

"It's okay, Uncle Yano knows that I have this niche hobby. Don't worry, I have a good relationship with him." Natsume Kiyohae said a name that Chu Kano Suzune would never know, but it made her feel at ease for some reason.

After that, Hatsukano Suzune didn't say anything more and just followed him upstairs.

She was not used to the mountain roads, and every time she stumbled and was about to fall, Natsume Qingyu would support her.

that's it.

Soon, they reached the top of the hill.

There is a piece of wasteland on the top of a small hill, which is not suitable for cultivation due to its slope.

Coupled with the barbed wire fence on the mountainside to block people, it often turns into a flower field as the seasons change.

Spring and summer are the seasons when dandelions bloom.

The dandelion flowers have turned into fluff, and the flower fields are covered in white.

Every step they took raised soft dandelion fluff.

"How is it?" the boy asked happily.

"Very beautiful." The girl replied calmly.

"Whenever the wind blows, the white dandelion fields become lively, just like snowing."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a place in Tokyo?" Hatsukano Suzune first looked at the white fields, then turned to look at the boy with an excited face.

There was a clear light in his eyes as blue as the sky. Now he was happy.

She would also be inexplicably happy.

"Otherwise why is it called a secret base?" Natsume Qingyu chose a place where he could overlook the cherry blossom line and sat down, and said with some pride.

Hatsukano Suzune held down the hem of her skirt and prepared to sit next to him.

"Do you want some tissue?" Natsume Qingyu was afraid that she would dirty her dress, so he kindly handed her a pack of tissues.

"No."

Hatsukano Suzune shook her head slightly and sat down while saying, "Since we are going out to play, don't worry too much. You will be unhappy if you do that."

"Okay." Seeing that she didn't care, Natsume Qingyu had no choice but to stuff the tissue back into his trouser pocket.

The two of them sat on the ground, quietly.

Listen to the noise of cherry blossom-viewing tourists in the distance and catch the shadow of the wind.

"This is a rare opportunity, let's talk about each other's secrets." Hatsukano Suzune put her legs together, hugged her knees with her hands, and turned her head slightly to look at him.

The voice was so gentle that the image of Bai Yueguang flashed through a boy's mind.

There was no reason for Natsume Kiyohame to refuse.

"Okay." He agreed with a smile, "Ask."

"Did you like staying here when you were a kid?"

“Not really…”

Natsume Qingyu put his hands on the ground, leaned back slightly, and let the wind blow his hair. "I just come here to sit when I want to be alone and quiet."

"one person?"

"Well, alone."

"I thought you had a lot of friends since you were a child, and you were the leader of the kids."

Suzune Hatsukano hugged her knees and continued, "There will be a lot of people around you all day long."

"That's a fly." Natsume Qingyu felt something was wrong.

"Then... you are cow dung." Chu Lu Ye Ling Yin thought about the picture and smiled lightly.

"Then you are the flower." Natsume Qingyu said without any hesitation.

He didn't think the girl was scolding him, after all, it didn't have any harm at all.

"..."

Chu Lu Ye Ling Yin suddenly stopped smiling and talking. She hugged her knees and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Yes, there are many, but we gradually drifted apart as we grew up." In order to keep the atmosphere from getting cold, Natsume Qingyu took the initiative to return to the original question, "And I think... every boy wants to be alone sometimes."

"What can a person do? Stare blankly?" Hatsukano Suzune tilted her head and looked at him.

"Sit under a tree and read a book, or take a bug net to catch some bugs, or occasionally play in the mud." Natsume Qingyu gave an example.

"very nice."

Hatsukano Suzune recalled the day last summer when she was lying under the tree, and murmured softly.

"Didn't you play in the mud when you were a kid?"

"Does building sand piles at the beach count?" Hatsukano Suzune thought about it carefully and gave an example.

“That means you haven’t played it.”

"You, the residents of Meguro River, would discriminate against people who have never played in the mud?" Hatsukanosuke Suzune frowned, she was thinking of something extraordinary.

"how come?"

Natsume Qingyu chuckled, turned his hand into a knife, and gently chopped the girl's head, "Hurry up and apologize to the residents of Meguro River."

"Feel sorry."

Hatsukano Suzune patted her head, apologized politely, and asked coldly, "And are you getting bolder and bolder?"

In the past, she would have been ready to take action.

"That means... our relationship has become even better."

Natsume Kiyohame asked happily, "Isn't it?"

Just in time.

got windy.

The wind blew through the flower fields, creating waves.

The sky is full of dandelion fluff, fluttering down, more peaceful than real snow.

The boy's face was filled with sunshine and smile.

Everything is just right.

Hatsukano Suzune dared to bet that there was no normal girl who would not have her heart suddenly moved at this moment.

"..."

She was speechless.

Can't find any reason to refute it.

After all, she had done some reading.

The information says that there is a type of people in this world who are just like that.

Be polite before you get to know someone well.

But once you really get into his heart, he will no longer take you seriously.

There is also a disgusting example at the end of the information.

According to research, many couples who have just started dating have to fart secretly.

But once they get familiar with each other, they want to cover their partner with a blanket and suffocate him or her.

At that time, Suzune Hatsukano could only wonder which researcher was so bored as to investigate these things.

Now that I think about it, is it really so...

"It's my turn to ask." Natsume Qingyu said.

"You ask."

"You had headaches before, was it because the voices of people around you were too noisy?" Natsume Qingyu asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, that's right."

Hatsukano Suzune nodded slightly, "But... you are a special case."

"I?"

Natsume Qingyu pointed at himself, "Don't you know what I'm thinking?"

"no."

Hearing this, Suzune Hatsuka shook her head and immediately told him a secret without reservation, "I have to look into your eyes to know what you are thinking. At the same time... when I look into your eyes, the world becomes quiet."

"And I like quietness." The girl smiled slightly and singled out this sentence.

It's like a confession.

"I see……"

Natsume Qingyu sighed.

He finally understood the truth behind what the girl said, "Maybe one day, I'll tell you."

In her eyes, he was different from the others from the very beginning.

"Then I'll tell you a secret too," he said.

"what?"

"When you looked at me, the mind-reading ability did not disappear, but was transferred to me. But you are also a special case. I can't read you."

"There is such a thing?" Hatsukano Suzune looked surprised.

"If you don't believe me, let's go find a passerby and try." Natsume Qingyu wanted to get up.

"No need, I didn't say I didn't believe it."

Hatsukano Suzune held him, looked at the blue sky, and expressed her deep feelings, "I was just thinking... There are such magical things in this world."

"Then guess what I'm thinking about now?" Natsume Qingyu smiled and closed his eyes.

Suzune Hatsuka looked over and saw his expression. She cursed him subconsciously, "Idiot, I told you I have to look into your eyes before I can..."

But her voice stopped midway through her words.

For a moment, she seemed to know what the other person was doing, or what he was waiting for.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

next second.

Her soft lips met his, and her gentle breath hit the boy's face just right.

A violent wind suddenly blew in the flower field, blowing up a field of dandelions.

Quiet and intense.

Drifting towards Mayday like a light snow.

Under the vast sky.

The hair of two people intertwined with the wind...
