Love Comes After Learning

The air is quiet and the atmosphere is good.

She squeezed her fingers tightly, the original low courage returned again, and the beating in her chest urged her to hesitate.

Is your face turning red?she does not know.

She only knew that there were some things she wanted to tell him now, and she couldn't delay for a moment.

If you don't say it, you may be too shy to say it later.

If you don't say it, you may later regret not saying it.

So while the courage is still not extinguished and there is a chance again, be direct and tell him!

"Shinichi!"

Sanjiu suddenly stretched out her hand, and gently pinched his sleeve with her fingertips, her quiet and beautiful face approached him without hesitation.

Those deep blue eyes, like sea water, contained shyness and determination, as if they were desperately earnest, and he was the only one left in them.

Asada couldn't help but tilted her head back slightly, but she followed up persistently as if asking questions, her pink cherry lips seemed to be shining like honey, and the fragrant breath she exhaled made people slightly dizzy.

"What, what's wrong?"

Such a close distance caused Asada's thinking to stop for a moment, but just looking into her eyes that can absorb people's souls, her heart beat faster.

(In this case, could it be her...)

Sanjiu also felt hot in her ears, but she didn't back down, but closed her eyes, exhausted all her strength, and said everything she wanted to say.

"I……

Help you buy clothes!

I just saw it and thought it would be suitable for you, so I bought it... Please, accept it! "

brush!

She handed out the bag hidden behind her straight forward, her fingers trembling slightly, she lowered her head and dared not look at his expression.

The roots of the ears have already turned red shyly, and the cherry pink hair seems to be even redder.

It was probably the shyest thing she had ever done in her life.

Seeing her like that, Asada's nervous expression faded away, but she was still a little speechless.

But just a piece of clothing?It's the same as a necessary confession, it will cause people to misunderstand...

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

So, do you want to accept it?

Asada silently looked at Sanjiu, who kept her posture unchanged and trembling slightly after handing him the bag, with a hesitant expression.

He is not used to receiving presents.

From before to now, whether it is his own birthday or other festivals, except for his parents' birthday cake, he has never received anything that can be called a gift.

After all, it takes courage to accept what others give you.

It's like you are willing to accept the other party's declaration, no matter what you give or how to deal with it after you give it, once you accept something, you will definitely return it to him in some way in the future—it may be tangible or intangible, but After all, he will give back something that belongs to him.

Especially from Asada's point of view, he does things for the reason, not the result, and he doesn't mind whether his efforts will be rewarded; he will be happy if he gets good results, and he will be happy if he gets bad results, but they are not things that must be forced.

However, when someone is kind to him and pays for him, he can't allow himself to be ungrateful and enjoy the kindness of others for nothing-although the kindness of a drop of water will not be repaid, but just like what he did to Clover, she helped If you don't care about yourself, then when she encounters difficulties, you must help her within the scope of your ability.

Shinichi Asada will do his best to accomplish anything that he has given himself a reason—gratitude is a kind of reason, and repaying favor is his method of implementing the reason.

Only when he is not owed to anyone and is not ashamed of anyone can he live his own life with a clear mind, read his own books, and learn his own habits.

Even if the other party simply wants to give and express goodwill, but it is you who decides whether to accept or not, so you cannot ignore the past so easily.

To put it simply, when receiving a gift, you must think about returning it.If the other party is an existence that you are unwilling to give anything, you should reject it decisively, no matter what the value of the gift is.

Shinichi Asada thought so, and instinctively wanted to reject Sanjiu's kindness—he had no shortage of clothes, and he didn't want to pay anything for a piece of clothing.

For him, this "deal" was not necessary at all.

...However, in a calm state, Asada's thinking will always be one step ahead of words and deeds.

When shaking hands, you will think about why you should shake hands, when you apologize, you will think about why you should apologize, and when you communicate with others, you will think about how to speak.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't act according to instinct.

Accepting a gift requires courage, but giving a gift requires awareness, the awareness of being rejected.

Miku Nakano...

And why did she risk being rejected to give herself a gift?

"..."

Moving his fingers, Asada silently lowered his eyes, his expression gradually disappearing.

Excluding the possibility of being self-indulgent, he probably knows the reason, and he knew it in the maze garden that day.

At this moment, Sanjiu candidly express that vague and ignorant affection in this way—perhaps this is the best effort she can do.

The reason for wanting to give is by no means a whim, but something deeper, softer and purer.

Yes, Asada Shinichi sensed it.

Her red ears, her trembling delicate body, her gentle and persistent eyes when she stared at him, everything was so frank and straightforward, as if leaning on his heart, speaking softly.

What she handed over was not just clothes, but also a desire to be accepted, which was a heavier existence than anything else, and it was even more difficult to refuse.

He was obviously a guy with a quiet expression, but his timid and expectant every move was clearly engraved in his eyes and mind.

As long as his heart is still fleshy, it is absolutely impossible for him not to be shaken.

Asada Shinichi slowly raised his eyes, staring at Sanjiu who was still bowing his head, his eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a slightly weak smile.

(... Sanjiu, actually I am not suitable for black at all.)

The strong and tolerant black is the exact opposite of him.

Shinichi Asada is just a coward who is easily shaken and dare not admit it.

How can you experience it?so what?So what if you notice it?

Cherishing this heart, thanking this heart, and arrogantly criticizing the cold and stinging chest—this is what he can do now.

The thought of wanting to hold her in his arms was nothing more than a momentary impulse.

He was still locked in his own glass room, through the hard and transparent window, watching her stretch out her fingertips and tap on his chest from afar, but he could only feel the coldness that could not cross that distance.

Once he recognized the truth, from that moment on, he couldn't accept anyone's kindness calmly.

Asada Shinichi who hasn't broken the glass, hasn't come out of the enclosure, hasn't grown up enough to shoulder the responsibility called "love"——

It is absolutely not allowed to fall in love with anyone.

It is absolutely not allowed to refuse anyone.

It is absolutely not allowed to hurt anyone.

Absolutely not allowed...to accept this easily shaken emotion in my heart.

If you don't even have this awareness, you won't be able to raise your hands, and you won't be able to hug anyone.

and so……

Suppress emotions, so that the eyes no longer shake easily.

Tighten your expression, making everything look calm and breezy.

Clench your fists and force yourself to be rational and be normal.

Shinichi Asada spoke calmly like this.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not used to wearing clothes from others."

"So, sorry, I can't accept this gift."

And that distant and polite voice instantly tore apart the girl's expectations.

"..."

There was silence all around.

The world seemed to fall silent, and even the thunderous heartbeat seemed to have disappeared, and all the sounds were simply driven away from the ears.

The body suddenly stopped trembling, and it was no longer stiff.

Maintaining the gesture of reaching out, Sanjiu stared blankly at the ground, with some doubts appearing in her widened pupils.

No, not just a heartbeat...

She asked herself, her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't even make a sound.

This feeling of empty chest, is it that even the heart is gone?

it's wired……

It's obviously not a confession, it's just a piece of clothing, why do you feel so disappointed when you get rejected?

Is this lost?Still sad?But if even the heart is gone... where is the wound?

do not know……

Just like the feeling of wishing him to accept the gift, and wishing him to take good care of her, she didn't even know what the feeling after being rejected was...

As if falling into a bottomless cave, the soul hangs blankly in the air, but the body is constantly falling, letting gravity tear the limbs that have lost strength.

Forced to breathe by himself, there was only a piercing pain in his throat, which pierced his heart.

Consciousness was constantly shaking, his eyes were blurred for a moment, and the tip of his nose was sore and sore.

But, even so...

"Well, that's okay." The muscles on his cheeks moved.

even so……

"Then I will give this dress to my dad. You two have similar figures, so he should be able to wear it too?" The voice was very steady, and the eyebrows were also raised.

even so……

"Shinichi continue to choose the cup, don't worry about my words, white is also very suitable for you." The corners of the mouth are pursed like a flower, remember to be more relaxed and natural.
