Suddenly, the girl's hand moved from his hair to his eyebrows, then slid all the way down to his eyebrows, nose, and finally touched the boy's lips.

Just when Jingujizuki was about to say something, Sakurakoji Sakura's slightly soft and tired voice reached the young man's ears.

"I saw it during the summer vacation."

"...Hmm." He had heard her mention it before.

The boy's lips were pressed by her fingers, and he could only utter such syllables. The vibrations from his lips were transmitted to her fingers, making them tingling.

"What was Yue thinking when he kissed her?"

She kept moving her fingers, touching his jaw all at once, tracing down to his neck, then suddenly sliding up, grabbing his lower lip again, and gently pulling it, revealing the pearly teeth inside.

"Do you even think of me at all?

"When you were kissing the student council president, Teacher Aoyama, and those girls I didn't know, did you ever think of me?"

The boy tilted his head, and the finger on his lips seemed to be the stylus of a vinyl record player, fixed in the same position, tracing all the way to his chin.

"I have already, I can't remember."

"Hey, if Yue had been back then..."

"Saakura."

The young man suddenly grabbed her hand, and the memories surged like an animal tide, hitting his nerves one after another, creating a self-directed and self-acted movie in the young man's mind.

The girl suddenly lowered her head and put her head close to the boy lying on the bed.

Jingujizuki was obviously in a panic. As long as he closed his eyes, the memory of the girl in front of him could not be dissipated.

"Saakura, we have..."

When the tip of Sakurakoji Sakura's nose was less than one centimeter away from Jinguji Yue, her hanging hair tickled the boy's cheek.

Staring at each other for a long time, time seemed to turn into a pool of transparent liquid, wrapping the boy and girl in it, constantly stretching, dissolving, and twisting together.

"Pfft!

"What on earth are you expecting, idiot Yue~"

Sakurakoji Sakura laughed out loud, and the laughter was extremely cheerful, as if she was watching the funniest manga in the world.

"........."

The girl stood up, walked back to the bedroom door with a smile, holding the door frame with one hand, leaving only his slender back.

"I know, we are no longer the children we were back then, I can tell the difference.

"Now we are just ordinary childhood sweethearts."

Chapter 23 23 What is life?

During dinner, Jinguji Yue and Sakurakoji Sakura sat next to each other. Jinguji Yuko would receive calls from the company from time to time, put down her chopsticks and sit down on the sofa in the living room, chatting for more than ten minutes.

"Aunt Yuko, the work is very hard." Sakurakoji Sakura said while looking at the back of Yuko Jinguji in the living room.

"Ah."

"Both of my parents are also devoted to work. Although I know they are all trying to make me live a good life, I still hope they can accompany me occasionally."

"We have been here together for so many years. What can we say now? If you really feel guilty, just study hard."

"Yue's words are really rigid. I'm not as smart as you. I don't have big dreams."

"I don't have any dreams either." The boy said.

"Huh? Is that so? Then I should be more mature than Yue. I still have dreams."

"What is it?"

"World champion, sprint." She vowed.

"Then your skin color is not pure enough, so go ahead and show it off."

Sakurakoji Sasura tried to twist his arm.

Jingujizuki immediately begged for mercy: "I will cheer for you secretly."

"You are cheering for me openly!"

"Nais complained."

The two tacitly forgot what happened in the bedroom and continued to return to their normal childhood sweethearts.

So as I said a long time ago, the two of them live with the label of "childhood sweethearts" on their foreheads, otherwise they will go astray if they are not careful.

"Isn't there anything Yue wants to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Look, don't you have a very good mind? You can become a doctor, a lawyer, and maybe a pilot in the future. If Yue wants to do it, he can do anything."

"Am I the protagonist of a light novel? I've tried my best just to keep my childhood sweetheart from using violence against me."

"Really, you're acting rude again." Sakurakoji Sakura pouted.

Jingujizuki smiled lightly.

"But, my dream... I have never thought about something so far-reaching. In short, I will first get into a good university, and in the future I will become a civil servant and steal taxpayers' money."

"That sucks."

"No, no, no, most people will think what I just said was a joke. I have no interest in becoming a civil servant."

"I always take what Yue says seriously."

The young man was speechless.

"Hey, Yue has already decided which university to go to?"

"College? This is really sudden."

"Because next year we will be in our senior year of high school. Yue has always been very independent. I was wondering if you already have a school of your choice."

"And with such good monthly scores, I will definitely choose to go to college instead of directly finding a job."

"It's really my plan to go to college."

"So what?"

"I don't care. My mother told me to try not to get into the University of Tokyo."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's hard to find a partner."

"What's the point?" Sakurakoji Saakura's little head was a little dizzy.

"God knows."

As soon as the words fell, Jinguji Yuko in the living room suddenly picked up her satchel and walked towards them.

"Yue, Sasakura-chan, the company suddenly has something urgent, I have to go there."

"Eh? Is it this time?" Jinguji Yue glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"At least go after dinner."

"No, everyone in the department is already waiting. I'll leave first."

"It's already so late. Can I catch up with Zhongdian when I get back?"

"Well...if I can't make it, I'll have to stay at the company overnight today."

"Isn't it too hard?" Sakurakoji Sakura asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, then I'll go first, Saakura-chan, Yue, I'll leave it to you."

"Well, Aunt Yuko, be careful on the road."

The sound of the door closing came from the entrance, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

"It's really hard for adults. I don't want to grow up." Sakurakoji Sakura sighed.

The boy glanced at his childhood sweetheart: "The world champion doesn't need to commute by tram."

"You're so naughty."

After dinner, Sakurakoji Sakura was washing dishes in the kitchen. Although Jingujizuki repeatedly insisted that she should do it, Sakurakoji Sakura finally kicked her out.

Because tomorrow is Sunday and Sakurakoji Sakura's house is empty, it doesn't matter how long she wants to stay.

But based on what happened in the bedroom the next night, and the fact that Yuko Jinguji had left, leaving them alone at home, they felt that the current atmosphere was quiet and a little subtle.

Therefore, when Sakurakoji Sakura talked to him, Jinguji Tsuki almost ignored her, looking like she was immersed in the world of the book.

Even though he has read this novel over and over again many times.

On the page, Watanabe is witnessing Naoko naked in the middle of the night.

In the living room, Jinguji Yue peeked at her childhood sweetheart from time to time, fearing that she would become the same as before.

"moon."

Jingujizuki's hand holding the book shook slightly, appearing calm and composed.

"What's wrong."

"It's getting late, I'll go home first."

The young man glanced at the time and realized that it was nine o'clock in the evening. The two childhood sweethearts had sat in silence for two hours, not even saying a word during the period.

"It's already so late." He said tentatively.

"Well, then I'll go back first."

Watching Sakurakoji Sakura's back disappear around the corner, after waiting for a while, the sound of the door closing was heard, and the boy let out a soft breath.

Jingujizuki closed his eyes, and what appeared in his mind was the face of his childhood sweetheart, sometimes not long ago, sometimes three years ago.

Time cannot erase all unevenness. At best, it can rejoin things that have been split into four or five pieces so that when viewed from a distance, they will not look incomplete.

If you get closer, you will see the twists and turns like spider web-like cracks, even if you don't want to.
