The heroines want to confess

Reina shook her head and nodded again.

Sakurai Saki handed over the coffee.

Reina took a sip, shook her head, and handed it back: "This doesn't taste good."

Sure enough, coffee is not for children.

Sakurai-kun can actually drink coffee, that’s amazing!

Chapter 353 Lock and Key

After buying the drinks, Sakurai Saki turned around and found that Shinobu had disappeared at some point.

Don't think about it, he must have been jealous and ran back to his shadow.

【Hate!Scum!Playboy! 】

Yes, yes, I am a scumbag.

But I was really surprised that you would actually get angry and jealous with a primary school student.

【……Humph. 】

After this sound, she stopped talking.

"Where is that child?" Reina looked around and asked.

"You must have gone home, right?"

"Oh." Reina held the matcha soda and sipped it.

She discovered that this actually tasted pretty good.

Although it was a little bitter at first, you got used to it as you drank it.

She memorized the name of the drink and planned to drink it again when she had the opportunity.

If my mother marries that uncle, can I and my other sisters live a life no longer poor?

Mom no longer has to work hard anymore.

If my mother's illness can be cured, her future life should be very happy.

Sakurai Saki looked at her expression and probably knew what she was thinking.

Do you want to give her hope?

Forget it, sometimes, giving hope can actually lead to greater despair.

Just treat it as if you don’t know.

Looking up, you can see the private hospital in the distance.

That should be where Rena said her mother was hospitalized.

Nearby are residential buildings, and several shops maintain the old style. You can see one of the dim sum shops that is still in business.

"Rena-chan, do you want to go back now?...Do you want to play for a while longer?"

She was talking about going back to the hospital just now in the mushroom house.

Sakurai Saki is bored to death now.

Xiao Ren is jealous and will definitely not chat with him later.

And besides Reina, he couldn't communicate with anyone else.

If this continues, he will have to find a place to sleep.

...With no way to communicate, it seems like the only option is to sleep on a park bench, right?

It might rain again in the next few days, and then... Sakurai Saki wouldn't dare to think about it.

Will the days ahead be too miserable?

"sure."

Having solved the problem in her heart, Lina is not in a hurry to go back now.

Besides, there are other sisters in the hospital.

She finally made friends, but she actually didn't want to break up so soon.

Afterwards, the two went to a snack shop.

Sakurai Saki took some snacks and bought two popsicles. Then, he gave Rena the money and asked her to pay.

The old woman who was in charge of looking after the store didn't pay much attention. She just gave her a few more snacks with a kind smile.

The two of them sat on a bench used for resting on the street and ate.

Sakurai Saki opened a delicious stick and put it in his mouth, "This corn-flavored one is delicious."

He turned his head and asked the motionless Ling Nai: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"But Sakurai-kun paid for this."

"If friends have delicious food, they must share it with each other, otherwise how can they be called good friends."

Sakurai Saki first put the packaging bag of the delicious bar back into the bag, and then took out the popsicle.

Then he unpacked it and put it in front of the other person's mouth.

Reina hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her pink tongue and gently licked the front end of the popsicle.

After tasting the sweetness, she tucked a few strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears and slowly took the popsicle into her mouth.

Seeing this, Sakurai Saki blushed and handed the popsicle to her, then lowered his head and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Ling Nai licked the popsicle, all the way down from the top to the root.

"……nothing."

Can a little girl eating popsicles be so tempting?

Sakurai Saki pretended to be calm and took out another popsicle and started eating it too.

It’s really fun to eat popsicles in the summer.

It's just that the temperature is too high and it's easy to stain clothes.

Suddenly, a wisp of breeze blew by, and Ling Nai held on to the sunhat on her head.

She looked at the boy sitting next to her.

"Sakurai-kun, I may have to leave here in a month."

When their mother's condition improves, the family will start living with their stepfather.

"That's right." Sakurai Saki didn't care.

He may leave earlier than the other party.

Sakurai Saki was more concerned about where to sleep tonight than when Reina would leave.

Is it a quilt under the bridge or a newspaper in the park?

Or just find a hotel lobby and lie down on the sofa?

No one can discover me anyway, and it doesn’t matter what I do.

"The reaction was so cold." Ling Nai said in a faint tone.

They said they were friends, why didn't he care at all when he said he was leaving?

Sakurai Saki rolled her eyes: "I can't stop you."

"Will you still be here tomorrow?" Ling Nai swayed her little feet slightly, and soon, her two white and tender little feet overlapped.

"Yes." Sakurai Saki nodded.

Anyway, I can't go back in a short time, so I just play with her.

After all, her ability to see herself must have something to do with the time jump.

"Ok."

"promised."

"You are not allowed to break your appointment. Otherwise, you will..."

"Swallow a thousand needles?" Sakurai Saki answered her question.

"Yeah!" Ling Nai nodded heavily.

"very scary."

"As long as you don't leave me, it's okay. You have to stay with me all the time." Reina turned her head and smiled at him, which was so cute.

"……it is good."

So who are you?

Why don't you tell me directly?

When I return to the real timeline, it will be better to stay away from you.

You yandere's sense of déjà vu is too strong, don't kill me when the time comes.

Forget it, it happened when they were children anyway, and the five sisters probably won’t remember it.

It is relatively rare for people like me to hold grudges until the other party is buried.

After eating the snacks and disposing of the garbage, the two went to the small shop next to them.

There are some small toys and snacks sold inside.

Other than that, it’s groceries.

After shopping around, Sakurai Saki didn't find anything interesting.

When he was about to leave, Reina picked up a necklace at the door of the store.

"this is?"

Sakurai Saki walked next to her.

"Lock?" He looked at it a few times.

At the end of the necklace, there is a rather interesting lock, which looks like a heart.

There is a very small keyhole inside.

The store owner saw Lina standing at the door observing the lock, and then put out the cigarette in his hand.

Think for a while.

He opened the cashier drawer and took out a slender key.

"Little guy, these two things are given to you. Give them to the people you like."

The boss turned around and murmured to himself: "It's great to be young."

This reminded him of his lost youth, and he also had a puppy love in elementary school.

This lock is called a concentric lock, and it has no additional meaning. It is just a good omen. It was popular for a period of time when he was young.

It is said that as long as one person holds the key and the other person holds the lock, you can achieve long-lasting love.

----

Walk out of the shop.

"Why did that uncle suddenly give you something?"

Sakurai Saki played with the necklace in her hand and said to herself.

Reina didn't answer, but looked at the key in her hand.

lock, and key.

"Sakurai-kun, do we want to make a promise?"

Sakurai Saki had an ominous premonition.

This thing is very much like a token of love.
