Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 325: If You Can Shine (End)
Summer has officially begun.

The azure sky looked as if it had been washed by water, so clear that it could reflect the leisurely outlines of the clouds.

The sunshine is no longer the shy warmth of spring, but has become hot and bright.

Sprinkled on the earth, the golden light seems to give everything a dreamy filter.

The breeze blows gently, bringing with it a lazy warmth, but also mixed with the fresh fragrance of leaves and flowers.

Just like the habit of always having the smell of garlic in the refrigerator, this is a unique smell of summer.

It makes people complain involuntarily, but at the same time, they want to engrave this freshness in their hearts forever.

In the mist of the forest, a figure walked on the light.

Natsume Kiyohame was walking up the steps of Sensō-ji Temple.

He came to draw lots and pray.

Although the gods were ultimately unable to show mercy and save his mother, Natsume Kiyohame did not hate the gods.

Instead, he put the blame on himself.

He comes when something happens, which is not pious enough.

According to ancient oriental sayings, it means that the scent of incense on your body is not strong enough.

Of course he believes in science and is also a materialist.

But as a person with an Eastern soul, I still feel that there are some things that I would rather believe in than not believe in.

It's just like the Feng Shui before a house is built, mysterious.

He believed that there were many people in reality who were just like him. Although they did not believe it on weekdays, once it happened to them or when they stood in front of a statue of a deity, they could not help but feel a bit more awe.

In short, in order to let the gods feel the piety of one's faith.

He comes here to run and punch in every day.

But during the holidays, I will set the check-in time during morning exercise.

Anyway, for him who is self-disciplined, it doesn’t take up much time; it’s just something that happens easily.

The only difference is that the content of the wish is changed from "I wish my mother to recover" to "I wish my mother to rest in peace in heaven and the people around me to have peace in the future."

Arriving at the temple, he did not come to ask for help from the gods, but was looking forward to the day when the light would shine.

Thinking about all sorts of trivial things in his mind, Natsume Qingyu unknowingly arrived at the door of the main hall.

My forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and jogging up the mountain was still quite tiring.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the world who are as persistent as he is and come to the temple early.

The self-disciplined teenager does not need to queue up and can go directly to the donation box.

Ringing bells, clapping, putting hands together, making wishes, bowing, all in one go.

"Hey, the boy is here again?"

When he was about to leave, the old monk who was sweeping the floor stopped what he was doing and spoke to him with a smile.

After all, there were only two of them in the huge courtyard.

The young man who realized that he had been chosen responded almost immediately.

"Yeah, yeah," he nodded.

"I see you running around recently, and it's not just once or twice. Could it be that you are asking for a love fortune?" The monk thought the boy was deliberately keeping him in suspense because he was young and handsome, so he joked.

"I already have a girlfriend." Natsume Qingyu said with a smile and quite proudly.

The love fortune sticks at Sensō-ji Temple are indeed very famous, and young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love will try them when they first arrive.

I've even heard from some girls that some ask the person they like to break up with their current partner so that they can take advantage of the situation.

"Is that so? Congratulations then."

The sweeping monk complimented at first, then became puzzled, "But that's not right...hiss, is there something interesting going on among you young people recently?"

The Sweeping Monk gave a rather curious look.

That’s right. Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to ask young people to get up early when they are on vacation.

I actually insist on coming to the temple every day.

"Well... there's no such thing." Natsume Qingyu thought about it and felt that he was not out of touch with his classmates, so he told him.

"That's strange." The Sweeping Monk said with a confused look on his face, and the broom in his hand started moving again.

The monk's mumbling made Natsume Qingyu curious.

What exactly happened made the monk sigh and be curious?

"Has anything strange happened in the temple recently?" Natsume Qingyu asked confusedly.

"Not at all."

The sweeping monk shook his head and said, "It's just that in recent months, the temple's young incense has suddenly become more stable, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Oh, there are people like me?" Natsume Qingyu understood what he meant and asked.

You have to know that most young people come to the temple to draw divination just for fun.

It can be said that there are no people who come here out of true belief in God and worship Him every day.

"Yes, it's a cute little girl." The monk replied casually while sweeping the floor.

Little girl?
When Natsume Qingyu heard this, his thoughts stopped for a moment.

Maybe it was intuition, or maybe it was fate.

Suddenly, he felt a very strong force in his heart, which urged him to ask something.

"Excuse me, does that girl have blue hair and blue eyes?" He asked softly with anticipation.

"Do you know him?" The monk stopped what he was doing and looked up at him.

There was a bright light flashing in his deep eyes.

Obviously, the boy guessed right.

"Where is she?!"

Natsume Qingyu was startled at first, then he started coughing after recovering, "Sorry, sorry, I got a little excited. Has she been here today?"

"Your girlfriend?" The Sweeping Monk confirmed again before telling others the information.

"Ah."

"I finished my pilgrimage a few minutes earlier than you and went down the mountain."

The monk stroked his white beard, smiled kindly, and pointed out a way down the mountain for him. "If you walk a little faster, maybe you can catch up with him."

"Thank you."

He bowed and said this.

Natsume Qingyu turned around and walked down the mountain road.

He is surrounded by lush, vibrant trees.

There are soft fallen leaves and moist moss under your feet.

The morning light passed through the green woods like a fine yarn, interweaving for who knows how many times.

The morning dew on the tips of the leaves sparkles like stars left in the world.

It's like a fairyland.

In fact, from the beginning Natsume Qingyu didn't know why he was so excited. When he came to his senses, his feet had already started moving.

After his body warmed up and the foul air in his chest was exhaled, his eyes brightened.

What troubles could she have that she needed to seek help from God?

Didn’t she say that she didn’t believe in God?
Why does she still insist on coming to ask for fortune?
And...and...could this be the reason why she suddenly arrived at school earlier?
The boy was feeling confused at this moment.

He had a lot of questions, but unfortunately, he had the answer to every one of them in his mind.

Confused and doubtful, he was also very excited and happy at the same time.

because……

He kept losing something in his life, but fortunately, he also kept gaining something.

Without noticing.

Natsume Kiyoha rushed out of a corner of the mountain road.

My vision suddenly became clear.

And he finally saw the figure.

no doubt.

is her!

"Ring tone!"

This sound seemed to use up all the air in the boy's lungs.

Suddenly, the mountain birds in the forest took off.

Then, everything was silent again.

The girl, who was concentrating on going down the mountain, was startled by this unexpected encounter.

I wondered, why is he here?
But at least she has seen the world.

Don't be underestimated by fools.

cough cough.

Cheer up, girl, and be a little reserved.

"What's the matter, Qingyu-san?" Chu Luye Suzune turned around and smiled at him.

Those clear eyes are still so beautiful and bright.

Natsume Qingyu was speechless for a moment, he just stood there, looking at her quietly.

Suddenly laughed.

Ялюблютебя.(I love you)
Did you hear it?

A little girl who can read minds.

Of course, Hatsukano Suzune heard it. She was so surprised and shy that her beautiful eyes widened slightly, reflecting the whole world.

On this winding mountain road, there are only two vermilion torii gates.

And each of them happened to be standing under a rack.

There was only a ray of light separating them.

a long time.

Natsume Kiyohame moved again, passing through layers of light beams and quickly running down the mountain, approaching Hatsukano Suzune.

When he got to the girl, he stopped for fear of bumping into her.

After staying for a moment, he couldn't help himself and hugged her in his arms.

Smelling the fragrance on Lingyin's body, he wanted to use all his five senses to imprint everything about her into his heart.

His heart was beating abnormally fast.

This is not caused by running.

Being suddenly embraced in his arms, to be honest, Suzuine Hatsukano was at a loss and subconsciously wanted to struggle.

You can feel the other person's heartbeat and look into their eyes again.

She was stunned.

There was a thin layer of mist in the boy's eyes, and under the pale yellow morning light, he looked like the rising sun in the east.

but now……

The girl thought it was a star falling into the lake.

therefore……

She was so sensible that she said nothing and asked nothing.

He lowered his eyelashes and thought for a moment.

She then placed her little face on his shoulder and hugged him with her backhand.

She patted the boy's back gently with her hands, like a mother coaxing her child to sleep, with tenderness in her eyes.

The woods were filled with the chirping of birds, as if they came from the farthest place.

In front of the important Buddhist site, one feels ethereal and refreshed.

It was a morning so clear that it was almost transparent.

There were two people who just hugged each other quietly, but they could feel each other's warm love.

Like a dream.

…………

Time flies.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

It's the turn of spring and summer again.

Another class of students graduated.

Under a cherry tree, on a bench, two figures were sitting together.

"How did the exam go?"

"To be honest, I've actually been admitted to the University of Tokyo in advance." A handsome boy, like a knight transforming, picked up a beautiful letter with two fingers - it was an admission letter, he said complacently.

"Oh, what a crazy statement."

An increasingly beautiful and gentle girl imitated his appearance and tone and also took out a letter, "It's okay, me too."

"Take it apart."

"Ah."

They both opened it at the same time.

One is literature department and the other is finance department.

Seeing this, the girl picked up her knife and hit the boy's arm.

"Wait, wait, stop, stop!" Natsume Qingyu dodged a few times and quickly made a stop gesture, "You beat me about two years ago, okay?"

When the classes were divided into arts and science classes at the end of the first year of high school, the truth came out.

When Hatsukano Suzune learned about this, she didn't even give the idiot a chance to argue and bullied him severely.

Later, Natsume Qingyu asked her what to do and whether she should change it again. Considering his relationship with Director Sakurai, it should be no problem.

However, Suzune Hatsukano smiled and said forget it, this could also be considered a beautiful memory of a two-way journey.

She was the one who said to let it go at that time, but now she is still punishing him.

That’s really too much!
"You're saying bad things about me again." Chu Luye Suzune's eyes became sharper.

"Ah... I also wish I could read minds." Natsume Qingyu pounded his thigh hard, with a tearless face, as weak as a girl.

"You are already mine, I won't be gentle with you." Hatsukano Suzune put her little face close to him, clenched her fists, and said without any sympathy.

"So... you just wanted to find a reason to hit me." Natsume Qingyu saw the truth of the matter.

"So what?" Chu Luye Suzune crossed her arms, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and asked him with her eyes, "So what?"

"This is domestic violence," the boy asserted.

"We're not married yet, so it doesn't count." The girl said reasonably.

"Ah, my eyes!" Natsume Qingyu suddenly covered his eyes and screamed in pain.

"What's wrong? Is there sand in it? Do you want to blow it out?" Seeing this, Chu Luye Suzune asked hurriedly with concern.

"I can't see my future. It seems like it's all dark." The drama queen Natsume closed his eyes and reached out his hands randomly, groping around.

Suddenly, I touched something soft.

With his powerful brain processor, he can certainly calculate what it is instantly.

But he still pinched it subconsciously, imitating the anime male protagonist.

If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you are a fool.

"..."

Hatsukano Suzune silently put away her concern and hit the idiot on the head with a heavy knife like chopping a watermelon.

Suddenly.

Natsume Qingyu covered his head in pain and opened his eyes instantly.

"Can you see it?"

Hatsukano Suzune's eyes were cold, and her slightly clenched hands were filled with murderous intent. Her voice was flat, "Your future."

"What a miracle doctor." Natsume Qingyu gave a thumbs up energetically, "I'm fine now."

Seeing this, Suzune Hatsukano couldn't stand it anymore and sighed.

When I thought that this funny guy would be with me for many years to come, I felt an indescribable melancholy in my heart.

It's not that I hate him.

"What are your plans for later?" While he was distracted, Natsume Kiyoha came back with two bottles of barley tea and threw one over.

"No." Hatsukano Suzune took it gently, feeling the coolness of the bottle.

"Then let's go on a date?"

"Okay."

Hatsukano Suzune was not shy, instead she smiled at him, "But the first date project is decided by me."

"What's the problem? Let's go." Natsume Qingyu wanted to leave, but was pulled back by the girl.

"?"

He looked at it in confusion.

"The first item of the date is... to sit here with me until sunset." Hatsukano Suzune hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her willful and boring wish, "Very willful, right?"

"What's the big deal? I don't think you've ever peeled off a wall or dug out mud." Natsume Qingyu didn't think it was a big deal. He took a sip of barley tea and sat down next to her.

Hearing this, Hatsukano Suzune smiled slightly and put her head on his shoulder.

On the playground where cherry blossoms were flying, many students were chasing and playing, taking pictures with their cameras.

And they accidentally entered other people's cameras.

…………

At dusk, the sky was gradually dyed with a gentle orange.

Slowly merge the sky and the earth into one.

On the bench, there was a small hand folded on a big hand.

"Where are we going next?" Hatsukano Suzune withdrew her gaze from the horizon and placed it on the boy's face.

"Let's go back to the classroom?" Natsume Qingyu proposed their second date plan.

"Which one?"

"The one we stayed in together as freshmen."

"Let's go." The two held hands, stood up together, and walked towards the teaching building.

Go upstairs and turn the corner.

The afterglow of the sun diffused on the white walls of the corridor, casting a layer of soft and warm light.

When two shadows appeared in it, the light began to sway.

Come outside the classroom.

Look inside.

The tables and chairs were neatly arranged in the empty room.

Although it was dusk, the classroom was still bright.

The shadow of the big tree outside the window has been stretched very long.

"I miss it so much." Natsume Qingyu let go of his hand, sat down in the back row by the window, and sighed softly.

"It's not like I can't come later." Hatsukano Suzune didn't quite understand him. She just thought that if he really liked her, she could continue to accompany him in the future.

Just like he had just accompanied her to watch the sunset.

“You don’t understand, it’s a feeling.”

Feel?

"Is that so?" Hatsukano Suzune muttered to herself, trying to understand, while sitting down next to him and becoming his deskmate.

Natsume Qingyu looked at her.

I saw Hatsukano Suzune cough lightly, put her index finger to her lips and warned, "Qingyu, from now on, please concentrate on listening and don't disturb me in class."

"Haha, yes, that's right, my disappeared human-machine classmate." The sunlight brushed on the boy's face, and he smiled sincerely.

After calming down a little, he wiped away his tears, lay on the desk, and said to his pretty deskmate as if punishing her, "You are so bad, don't let me catch you after school."

"Oh, then I have to run faster." Hatsukano Suzune joked gently.

"You can't outrun me." The boy at the next table pinched her sleeve.

"If it's you, there's no need for me to run away." The girl held his hand and smiled the brightest smile she had ever smiled.

The warm sunshine is still lengthening the lingering shadows.

Wait until the two of them walked out of the campus and came to the busy street.

They just felt like they had truly graduated.

"What do you want to eat?" the girl asked.

"Whatever." The boy replied.

They found a nice restaurant and had dinner.

"Where to go next?" the girl asked for advice.

"casual."

"Can you please not be like this?" The girl looked at him unhappily.

"I don't care. As long as I'm with you, I feel happy." The boy explained.

"Eh~ so corny." The girl held her chest and retched cutely like a penguin.

"Then I won't say anything anymore."

"Forget it, you might as well say it."

"Don't you like to hear it?"

"I'm so glad to scold you." Hatsukano Suzune smiled.

"..."

Natsume Qingyu was speechless.

walk slowly.

In the following time, they did not go shopping or watch movies like other couples, but instead went to a bookstore.

When I came to my senses, it was already very late.

Natsume Kiyoha sends Hatsukano Suzune home.

Along the way, they remained silent as usual.

The light at the entrance of Chiyoda Luxury Apartment is always so soft.

"Just drop you off here." Hatsukano Suzune waved her hand, indicating that she could walk the rest of the way by herself.

But Natsume Qingyu's sudden lack of response made her nervous.

"What's the matter? Anything else?"

She smiled gently and said, "If you're hungry, you can come to my house and get some dessert."

"You can also get the matcha flavor." She added playfully with her eyes curved in a smile.

"I'm not hungry, I just miss you."

"I'll be there tomorrow too, you can come and see me."

Hatsukano Suzune tucked her hair, which was messed up by the evening breeze, behind her ears, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the boy on the forehead.

"Good night." She scratched her hand cutely.

"Good...night." Natsume Qingyu said, inspired by this.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." After saying this, Hatsukano Suzune tried to turn around, but her slender arm was grabbed by someone.

"..."

The picture remained still for a moment, and she looked back again.

"I want to... go to your house to see the gold medal! It's the achievement we achieved together in the cultural festival. They said it's kept at your house, but I haven't been there yet." Natsume Kiyohame said.

He was breathing heavily like a wild beast and looked exhausted.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

"I have to see it today..." Hatsukano Suzune didn't run away either.

But suddenly she realized something, glanced at him, and then quickly looked away.

The voices too, each one getting softer than the last.

Her little face was getting redder by the second.

"Sorry, I can't help myself."

Natsume Qingyu's voice was shaking badly, and he became less and less confident the more he spoke, "I like you so much."

"Look at you... you look so useless."

Upon hearing this, Suzune Hatsukano laughed, glanced with her beautiful eyes, and said sarcastically, "Follow... follow me up." After saying that, the girl turned around hurriedly and walked towards the brighter place in the apartment.

The footsteps were so heavy that they seemed to be able to wear through the sidewalk.

Still talking about me?
Aren't I also unsuccessful?
"Hurry up." The girl in front stomped her feet and turned around, urging as if in military training.

"Are you anxious?" Seeing that no one was in a good condition, Natsume Qingyu suddenly became proud again.

"The access control is about to be closed again, so just forget about coming in." Upon hearing this, Hatsukano Suzune's snow-white face turned red as if it was about to explode.

He punched in at the access control and headed into the elevator floor without looking back.

"I was wrong, wait for me." Natsume Qingyu quickly chased after him, begging for mercy.

Entering the elevator, their hearts were pounding like piles being driven.

Natsume Qingyu still stood face to face with him as if he was sick, not saying a word.

"Turn back." Hatsukano Suzune said with a cold face, pointing with her little hand.

"Hi." Natsume Qingyu turned around very obediently.

Statement in advance.

This is not cowardice, but consideration for the overall situation.

The elevator went straight up without stopping at any floor.

"Welcome home master."

As soon as the two entered the door, the smart furniture started working automatically.

The room was bright and bustling.

"I'm going to take a shower first, wait for me here."

After bringing the idiot into the house, Hatsukano Suzune immediately made an excuse to leave as if she had done something wrong.

However, the boy sitting obediently on the sofa was not much better.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he responded dumbfoundedly, "Okay."

Natsume Kiyohae originally held the attitude of "do nothing and you won't make any mistakes", so he waited until Hatsukano Suzune came out of the shower. But when the shower faucet made a rushing sound, he could no longer sit still due to his full blood.

I'm so nervous. So nervous.

I didn't know what they were doing?
"Can I walk around the room?"

"What?!" The heartbeat was too loud for the girl in the shower to hear.

She quickly turned off the shower, as if afraid of missing out on some important information, and walked barefoot towards the bathroom door.

Anyway, the bathroom problem is a long way away from the living room.

She could even just stick her head out and ask what he was talking about just now.

But when Shikano Suzune was about to put her hand on the handle, the boy's voice rang out nearby.

"I asked if I could walk around the room and relax."

"Yeah~"

There was a sound of a near fall in the sleek bathroom.

"What's wrong? Did you fall?" The young man heard the voice and asked hurriedly with concern.

"No...no, it's just the soap that fell. You don't have to pick it up. I can pick it up myself." The girl was afraid that he would break into the room, so she quickly responded.

He had no idea that he was talking nonsense.

The little face was damp and dizzy.

"Then I..." He asked again before getting a response to his previous question.

"You can shop if you want, but don't rummage around!"

"Ok."

Hearing the idiot's footsteps fading away, Hatsukano Suzune breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat in the bathtub full of water, curled up, buried his little mouth under the water, and blew bubbles.

I remember it was warm water.

Why does it feel a little hot?

After getting permission, Natsume Qingyu tiptoed around the room.

He looked from top to bottom, from left to right, inside and out, at the interior layout.

I was afraid that there was a pinhole surveillance camera in some corner of the room.

As he was walking, he stopped in front of a door.

He froze for a moment.

He had never been to this room before despite having been here several times.

If I remember correctly, the last few times when Suzune Kano changed clothes, she entered this room.

Can't go wrong.

Can I come in?
I'm her boyfriend, so that should be okay, right?
I'm sure you'll go in later, right?

It can't be anywhere else, right?

No, it seems that it is not impossible.

Okay, okay, don’t think too much, otakus are really disgusting.

and so……

Want to go?
Qingyu, Qingyu, it has come to this moment, and you are still a coward.

At worst, I made a mistake.

I'll just kneel down and beg the minister for forgiveness later.

The door to the world of girls.

open!

Natsume Kiyoha went in.

He felt a little heavy-hearted, and was cautious, as if he had entered some kind of fantasy realm.

This is true.

As soon as I entered the door, the sweet smell of Lingyin hit me.

In a blink of an eye, several otter-like creatures were surrounding a stuffed bear, as if they were bullying it.

Haha.

I didn't expect that guy to be so cute in private.

Although she is usually very cute, she is even more outrageous now.

He walked in slowly like a thief.

The entire room floor is covered with soft carpet, which makes walking on it smooth and silent.

Natsume Qingyu was sure that even if he ran barefoot on it without wearing slippers, he would not feel the slightest discomfort.

After pacing for a long time, he stopped at a corner of the room.

He was attracted by a framed oil painting.

It was a painting in which lemon yellow and cool blue were interwoven.

The painting shows the sky, the sea, the sunset, sailboats and the coastline of Tokyo.

as well as……

And she and he.

In this vast world, there are only two of them, but there is not even a hint of loneliness.

Natsume Qingyu looked at the colorful painting in front of him and shed silent tears.

A crystal tear fell onto the blanket, and the dolls sitting beside him seemed to be looking at him in surprise.

"Laugh if you want."

He wiped his tears and spoke to them foolishly.

She walked towards the clean and tidy pink desk in the corner of the room.

There was a notebook lying quietly on it.

Journal?

Go a little further.

He knew he was wrong.

"Fool's Observation Notes"

——by Lingyin.

Research subjects: Natsume club members.

Haha, what is this?
Can I see it?

It might work.

So curious!

I can't help it!

I want to see what she says about me behind my back!

Just as he was about to open the book, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Not good!

Natsume Qingyu turned back hurriedly.

Suzune Hatsukano, who had changed into loose clothes, stood by the door and warned with interest: "Qingyu, it is very rude to read without the consent of the owner of the room."

"Breaking into a girl's room without permission will lead to death." The girl felt that this was not harsh enough and immediately added another sentence.

"Sorry, sorry, I really couldn't help it." Natsume Qingyu put the notebook that had not yet been opened back to its original place.

"Go take a shower quickly." The empress raised her hand and pointed.

"Yes." Xiao Xiazi responded, bowed and went out.

After a moment, it seemed to be turned upside down and moved back.

"What's wrong?" Hatsukano Suzune raised an eyebrow.

"Your Excellency, I didn't bring any spare clothes." Xiao Xiazi bowed.

"My father's room has what you need to wear in there." The empress pointed him in a clear direction.

"Whoo."

As Xiao Xiazi retreated, she muttered, "Don't worry, I have new underwear."

"Who wants to know something like that?!"

After sending the bastard away, the blush on Hatsukano Suzune's face could no longer be hidden.

He quickly closed the door, feeling his heart pounding.

Her heart seemed to explode when she thought about what would happen next.

Lingyin, Lingyin, you must calm down.

Don't let that guy look down on you.

After clenching her fists, Suzune Hatsukano walked to the desk, looked at the "Idiot Observation Notes" and smiled, but she didn't hide it, but just left it there.

After he let out a sigh of relief, he pounced on the soft big bed like a cute tiger, and attacked the stuffed bear in the middle of the tea party.

It was beaten so hard that it kept crying.

“Merry Christmas! (Chinese)”

"メリークリスマス!"

"Merry Christmas!"

The idiot's silly blessing made her think of the shameful words she said that night.

If he dares to break up, I will kill him.

Oh my god, oh my god…

Kill him today!

The girl sitting on the bed was too embarrassed to face people. She buried her head in the neck of her teddy bear and continued to listen to the idiot's tuneless singing.

Before I knew it, I felt a little sleepy.

She crawled under the covers, closed her eyes, and listened attentively to the footsteps to prevent the idiot from attacking her.

After taking a shower, Natsume Qingyu went into the house with a white towel around his neck for drying his hair.

I saw a lump on the soft bedding, which meant the girl was sleeping in an indecent position.

It looks like a furry little rabbit with only the snow-white neck showing.

He observed it carefully for a while, and then looked at the painting gently again.

After thinking about it, it seems that I was a bit too extreme tonight.

He liked Suzune as a person and wanted to have a serious relationship with her, not just to sleep with her.

But tonight he acted as if he was horny.

I fell asleep, so forget it.

If it really doesn't work, we can do it another day.

He reached out to pull the quilt for Lingyin to prevent her from catching a cold.

As a result, the wrist was held backwards.

"?"

"You tried to sneak attack me, but I found out." Hatsukano Suzune locked his hand and said excitedly.

"No, I... just want to pull the quilt once."

"Lie...to others."

At first, Suzune wanted to say he was lying, but when she lowered her eyes, she really saw him pinching the quilt, "..."

"Actually, I just thought about it. I was indeed a bit too radical tonight and a bit too inconsiderate of your feelings. I like you as a person..." Natsume Qingyu explained to himself.

"...?"

Hatsukano Suzune wasn't listening at all, her mind was too noisy.

However, she really wanted to beat up the guy in front of her now.

They were about to get on the highway, but he was still on the baby bus, Makkabaka.

She has half northern blood in her body and sometimes she just can't stand the indecision of fools.

If it were any other girl, they would definitely think he was very gentle, but only she knew that he lacked that little bit of courage.

Since he doesn't have it, I'll give it to him.

"Radical? Okay, I am a radical." Hatsukano Suzune held his face, looked at him obsessively, and said jokingly and domineeringly.

Finished.

She gently held the back of the boy's head and kissed him.

He didn't release her lips until he was slightly out of breath.

She just lay there, her beautiful long hair spread out like snowflakes.

Due to her slightly crazy behavior just now, her clothes were already askew, and most of her shoulders were exposed to the air.

This scene completely stimulated the beast.

The boy boldly touched her slender waist, and his lips moved down from the girl's white neck like punching a clock.

When Suzuine Hatsukano smelled the same bath scent on the boy's body as hers, she inexplicably felt her body slightly stiff and didn't know what to do to cooperate with him.

And even though they have been together for two years, they have kissed many times.

But it's still rare to see a fool taking the lead like this.

The boy's hot kiss fell eagerly, and the two kissed for a long time.

Natsume Qingyu suddenly said something that dampened the atmosphere, "I seem to have... forgotten to buy that."

We have come this far, and you are telling me this?
"Useless things."

Hatsukano Suzune was really angry. She kicked Natsume Kiyohame on the chest and pushed him away.

He dove under the cute bed and soon found a candy box.

"Here." She gave it to him.

"Why do you have this kind of stuff in stock?" Natsume Qingyu's question completely chilled the atmosphere.

The temperature drops.

The icy beauty that she usually is is back.

Oops.

What did I do?
At this point, I can only tell the truth.

"This...this...is what Auntie Huatian gave me that time."

Suzune Hatsukano spit out the strands of hair that were stuck to her lips and said with difficulty, "I... am too embarrassed to just throw it away."

Kawaii~
"It shouldn't be expired, right?" The boy's focus was peculiar.

"How would I know about that kind of thing?" The girl felt embarrassed and angry, and really wanted to bite him to death.

Then the house suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.

The two of them knelt on the bed facing each other, with a candy box between them that they didn't know whether it had expired or not.

And they said nothing.

"How long are you going to stare at me like this?" Hatsukano Suzune said to him frankly, "Help me take it off."

"Oh."

Natsume Qingyu looked at the girl's cherry-colored lips, and suddenly became as innocent as a log. "I don't have much experience in this area, so I'm a little nervous."

He speaks the truth.

but……

The other party didn't seem to appreciate it.

"You're right... I have experience." With a blushing face, Hatsukano Suzune grabbed the pillow and smashed it hard.

That 'ugly' pillow just happened to be that stuffed bear.

When it was caught by Natsume Qingyu, it started to sing again.

Singing is not the point.

The point is that it's unpleasant.

"It's too noisy. Throw it out." Hatsukano Suzune gave the order.

His girlfriend was angry, so Natsume Qingyu didn't dare to neglect her and hurriedly took the teddy bear out to avoid her taking her anger out on him.

Natsume Qingyu just came back after placing the "good old boy" in the living room.

As soon as I entered the room, the confused girl lying on the bed said, "Can you turn off the lights? I'm shy."

"okay."

As soon as the lights were turned off, the whole room was immediately shrouded in darkness.

The vision becomes more blurred and the atmosphere becomes more hazy.

Only kisses fell little by little, from the cheek to the corner of the lips.

While catching his breath, Natsume Qingyu thought that the girl truly loved him, and suddenly felt that there was something he must tell her, otherwise he really couldn't let go.

"Ring tone."

"Hmm~" the girl murmured.

"Actually, I have a few things to tell you."

"Tell me~" The girl put her arms around his neck.

"I'm not actually Ms. Hanada's biological child."

"I knew it long ago." The girl said proudly, "But that's your mother."

"Thank you."

Natsume Qingyu felt warm in his heart and told her that she was right.

"besides……"

In the next short period of time, Natsume Qingyu told her about the degree of soul compatibility and everything about the [World].

"So...you love me because of the world?" This is all that Hatsukano Suzune cared about.

"How is that possible? My love for you is real, and it's also a process, not a result."

"That's it." Hatsukano Suzune said with a smile. She didn't care about such things at all.

"Lingyin, I love you." The boy kissed the girl on the forehead with tears in his eyes.

"Qingyu, me too." The girl patted his back gently.

……

"Such a big thing, why did you just tell me now?"

“…Now you understand?”

"Please let me feel it."

"Promise."

"You are so generous today."

"Am I usually stingy?" Hatsukano Suzune bit the idiot's pig ear.

……

"Do you want to use that?"

"No, it's safe today."

"I'll be gentle."

……

"Qingyu~"

"Ah."

"It hurts a little~" In a panic, Hatsukano Suzune grabbed the boy's hand.

"Yeah, I heard it." Natsume Qingyu moved a little more gently.

But he didn't tell the other party.

The girl got angry when she heard it. What does "hear" mean?
Hence, the following conversation took place.

"What are you doing, pinching me?"

"Just to let you know how painful it is to be a girl right now."

“It’s not easy for girls.”

Natsume Qingyu felt a sharp pain in his arm, and he felt sad. "I will treat you better in the future."

……

A moment in the process.

Hatsukano Suzune turned over domineeringly, pressed the idiot on the bed, and declared her sovereignty: "Natsume Kiyohame, remember this, you are mine."

"Well, I'm yours." The boy turned over and became the master, kissing her obediently.

"Really? It's not convincing at all." The girl cried angrily.

…………

Afterwards, the two fell into a deep sleep and slept until noon the next day.

"woke up."

"Yeah." When the sleepy Hatsukano Suzune opened her eyes, she saw the idiot and had a very strange feeling in her heart.

"I've already prepared lunch, and of course I've saved breakfast for you, too. Do you want to eat breakfast or lunch first?" Natsume Kiyohame said, shaking her head happily. "By the way, I've also washed the clothes. The underwear is separate."

Seeing the idiot in front of her full of energy, Hatsukano Suzune, who was unable to get out of bed for a while, was full of envy.

"Qingyu." She called softly.

"Hmm? Are you going to praise me for being virtuous?" Natsume Qingyu joked.

"I had a dream." Hatsukano Suzune pulled the quilt higher and stared at the pink ceiling and said seriously.

"what?"

"I had a dream that I was sitting in the park reading a book, and a boy was staring at me stupidly for a long time. It seemed that he liked me, but he was too shy to say it out loud." For the first time, Suzune Hatsukano felt that the dream was so real, and a warm smile spread across her lips as she spoke.

"What does that person look like?" Natsume Qingyu suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"I didn't see it clearly." Hatsukano Suzune said with regret.

"now what?"

Natsume Qingyu smiled and gently lifted the girl's chin, letting her look at him.

Eye contact.

The two of them were in a trance, finding themselves by the shore of Walden Pond in midsummer, their figures reflected in the clear water.

"See clearly."
