Love Comes After Learning

"If this can make them smile, I want to do my best. Don't think about the consequences that will be waiting for me. I can't go back on my decision."

"It's not for others, but for myself who has nothing. This is my selfishness. I can't be confused anymore after I have recognized it."

"I plan to watch a movie with Yihua, go shopping with Nino, and have to eat with Hayasaka. Secretary Fujiwara should not worry about it for the time being. Who makes her happy abroad... Find time to go out with Sanjiu."

"And Rui, that lonely dead house, she should like the amusement park, we have to prepare a surprise for her (important mark)."

The hand holding the paper was a little bit harder here.

The ink also gets a little darker in the next paragraph.

"I love being with everyone."

"I hate being hated by everyone."

That was the cowardice she had never seen before. After stripping off all masks and disguises, she was the most real and humble Asada Shinichi.

"I also want to be happy, so I write it here to remind you constantly, don't forget the current mood."

Under the pale light, he should be smiling calmly, with firm eyes, writing slowly.

"Asada Shinichi, no matter what you encounter in the future, please persevere and learn how to be a person who makes people around you laugh."

"As for love, we'll talk about it later."

"..."

After reading it, Rui quietly closed the notebook, and the expression disappeared from her face.

After putting everything back in the drawer and putting everything back in place, she left Asada's room without any regrets.

Go downstairs quickly, walk to the living room, open the floor-to-ceiling windows full of sunlight, and take a deep breath facing the garden.

She raised her head and looked at the clear and clear sky in the distance. For some reason, her lips curled up with an uncontrollable smile.

Is it because he saw him clearly?

The haze in my heart seemed to be completely emptied at this moment, and all the depression slowly faded away like white clouds in the sky.

Is it because he shared his secret to himself?

The weak will became firm again, and when I thought of the figure in my mind, it would no longer bring the sourness of drifting away.

No, it seems neither.

Then why, my heart feels as smooth as being hit in the face by a snowball...

I do not know.

Since you don't know, then shout it out, while no one is here now.

The chest was already filled with air, so towards the boundless sky, Rui yelled out the emotion that was suppressed in her heart.

"Asada Shinichi, you, a [-] million percent awkward idiot——!"

The voice almost turned into a scream at the end, as if hearing curses and various sounds of opening windows and doors, Rui quickly shrugged her shoulders and closed the French windows like a child doing bad things.

At the same time, footsteps were heard upstairs.

"Rui! That one just now was..."

Ju Yangcai hurriedly walked down the living room, her worried expression turned into puzzled surprise when she saw her.

"Sister Yangcai, I've decided!"

With her hands behind her back, Tachibana Ruyi blinked her bright wine red eyes and smiled extremely happily.

"Decided... what?"

Before Yangcai could react, she heard her speak so briskly.

"I want to date Brother Shinichi, become boyfriend and girlfriend, and talk about a relationship that is not serious at all."

"……Aha?"

Yangna opened her mouth wide.

"And then we broke up after the summer vacation."

"……Aha??!"

Yangcai's jaw was dislocated, her eyes were full of confusion and disbelief, she wanted to ask something but she didn't know where to start.

Like a bad boy who succeeded in pranking, without explaining, Rui giggled and turned to look at the life agreement on the wall.

That day, the figure of him writing a new treaty with his face turned upside down reappeared.

Not only that, there are many, many more, from the past to the present, the time spent with him will never be forgotten.

From the moment they met, they were also influencing each other and making changes individually.

He is already such an important existence to himself.

So at this moment, she was smiling very happily.

"Since you forgot, let me solve your troubles again, Shinichi-san."

Just like what she said to him six years ago.

In the dull and quiet room, after putting down a book, a childish voice suddenly sounded.

"I want to help people solve their troubles, do you have it?" 』

"……No. 』It took several seconds for the indifferent voice to reply.

"No, you have.If you don't have one, I'll stay until you do. 』

Annoyed by such obsession that he couldn't concentrate on reading, the little boy gradually grasped the book in his hand, and the shadow wrapped around his body seemed to be a little heavier.

The little girl became quiet and looked at him with a cold expression, but obediently waiting for him to speak.

The little boy remained silent.

He was silent until the little girl got impatient and was about to pick up the book and throw it over, then he opened his mouth to the book as if talking to himself.

"...Sometimes, I feel like I'm a monster. 』

"..."

——This is neither the meeting nor the parting of the two, and the story does not start here.

It's just a small episode in their staggered lives, both important and meaningless

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Nakano's house.

The bag was placed on the chair, and Asada sat upright on the cushion next to the bed.

Actually, being in the same room with beautiful quintuplet girls is not such a wonderful experience.

At least Asada thinks so.

"The lines here... well, this expression would be better, right? Be a little more angry?"

Holding the script, Yihua frowned and pursed her mouth, her expression changed several times, then she suddenly looked up at him as if remembering something, and smiled.

"Shinichi-kun, can you please help me look at this part? I don't understand."

The little hand patted the empty space beside him, and there was a soft light of expectation in his eyes.

Asada stood up as he said, and when he was about to pass by, Nino, who was in the middle, looked away from his phone, glanced at him, and spoke casually.

"Don't step on me, even if you touch me. If you can't do it, don't go there. You can teach here."

By the way, her feet are stretched out like this, and her white and tender legs under the sports shorts are lying in the middle of the road, shaking her little feet with pink nail polish, showing a look of "if you have a feeling, just step on it." Ah' arrogant behavior.

Asada was silent, looking down at those legs, the soles of his feet were itchy, and his fingers were also faintly hot, as if he was ready to touch his feet.

But after hesitating again and again, in order not to disturb Sanjiu's rest, he finally decided not to remember the villain's mistakes, stepped over carefully, and then didn't even look at her.

——It's okay, a man can bend, stretch, be soft or hard, there is always a chance to show her a good look.

The narrow-minded Asada comforted herself in this way.

I don't know why she is angry, since she came back from the zoo, her attitude seems to be a different person, as if she has returned to the period when she was still confronting him tit for tat.

Asada didn't intend to understand the girl's mood when he was in a daze. It would be like touching the tiger's beard if he couldn't keep up with the anesthesia gun.

So before knowing the basic situation, he decided to ignore Er Nai's attitude towards him, so as not to make himself feel worse.

"Thank you Shinichi-kun, it's been a long journey."

Yihua squinted at Nino, and smiled inexplicably.

"Tsk..."

The corners of Er Nai's mouth twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes to stare at her.

When the eyes collided, invisible sparks crisscrossed in the air, igniting a faint smell of gunpowder.

Clover shivered beside her.

"May, I want to leave here..."

May wondered.

"Eh? Have you solved this problem yet?"

"Uh, not yet... But, at least somewhere else..."

"Don't be afraid of the heat, it will cool down naturally."

Itsuki smiled slightly, but Yotsuba trembled with her arms folded.

"You misunderstood, it's really not a question of whether it's hot or not..."

"Okay, don't worry about it so much, I'll go down and get the popsicle up later, and concentrate on reading now. I thought of a solution that might be very suitable for you, see if you can write it down..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Yotsuba, who wanted to cry but had no tears, was dragged to study by May, who seemed to be quite happy.
