April is more than your lies

If she wasn't on the street, wouldn't Hesha be as shy as she was just now?

"Can't you think of something less weird?"

Wherever he wants to go, I can accompany him, and if there is anything he wants to do, I can accompany him, but ah... want to touch my cheek?This is what I want to do...

Perhaps Shingo's fingertips left something almost "magic" on her cheek, and Hesha felt that the place he just touched was heating up.

The warmth that had immersed her in it a moment ago had now grown to the point where her heartbeat quickened.

"I asked you why, but you couldn't even explain it... If you do this again next time, I'll ignore you."

"Can there be a next time?"

"Humph……"

Perhaps because he was used to being frivolous, Shenwu blurted out the words without any thought at all, but the angry look on Hesha's side was soft and bright because of the crimson on his cheeks.

"you try."

"Let's try again when we get home..."

"..."

Volume 34: Chapter 33 Chapter [-] The way of letting each other go

Shingo has seen this kind of situation a lot since he was a child, and most of the time Hesha's temper is caused by him himself - this time is no exception.

He was aware of this and regretted it a little.

At that time, my mind must have been broken...

"Accompany yourself to do what you want to do." The magic in this sentence was more powerful than he imagined, so that the originally deep-rooted frivolity became frivolous. When he came back to his senses, Shenwu realized that his actions had some consequences. How... confusing.

"Hesha..."

"Ok?"

In the past, Kazusa wanted to make a gesture of puffing up her cheeks, right?

When she was a child, a girl who turned into a stingy bun would be very cute, but now, she looked at her with a slightly evil look, but for no reason, it made people want to pinch her cheeks.

Shenwu found what he wanted to do at this time, but this time, without Hesha's consent, if he still went his own way, Hesha would probably really ignore him.

After restraining his useless thoughts, he met Hesha's eyes again. As for when his eyes averted, he did not go into details, because the thoughts of the previous moment could no longer be traced back.

"You don't know, are you thinking about something strange again?"

"..."

Shingo shook his head in silence.

"I'm sorry, Hesha... about what happened before."

"Do you want me to tell you it's okay?"

How is that possible? It doesn’t matter...

Even now, when I think about what happened just now, my cheeks still get hot... This is all the fault of this bad guy like you!

Kazusa wanted to ask Shingo to take responsibility, but she couldn't figure out how to do it...

Fortunately, she didn't say anything that would make the atmosphere ambiguous. In addition, she was gifted with an awe-inspiring face, which overshadowed the thousands of emotions in her heart.

"Isn't it too cunning to suddenly apologize or something?"

"But, I still think it would be better to apologize..."

"I've never seen you like this before."

What Hesha was talking about before was, of course, when she was a child. Maybe when Shingo fell into memories, she also spent a second or two searching for a certain color in her memory.

"And, this time... I said it first, whatever you want to do is fine, even if it's impossible, it doesn't matter, but you don't have to apologize."

"..."

Does this count as forgiving yourself?

Shingo's thinking led him to give a negative answer. If Hesha no longer cared about what happened before, then there would not be such a conversation between them now.

"You are just too idle, so you always think of strange things."

Kazusa summed it up like this.

"Didn't you say before that you know there are many people in this world who are better than you? When you feel bored, just pick one or two to surpass them, just like the game you play...defeat the powerful ones at the bottom of the level. A monster can take a day or two, but it will take a lot of time to surpass someone who is more powerful than you."

"Not very motivated..."

"why?"

When he spoke again, Shenwu had already shook his head, and his actions continued until Hesha finished speaking. It was not known whether he had delved into the deeper motives in his heart.

"Where's Hesha? Why do you want to surpass Aunt Yaozi?"

Hesha's goal is undoubtedly Yaozi. Anyone who is an expert will be able to draw this conclusion after listening to their performances. In fact, they are walking the same path in music - Yaozi is the pioneer, and Hesha Then he stumbled behind her.

"..."

This time, it was Hesha's turn to be silent.

"Shen Wu..."

"Ah."

Shenwu didn't expect that his question would be answered by such a sentence.

Calling a person's name in this way is because the uneasiness in the heart drives the person to grab something that can provide a sense of security.

Of course, he could provide some space for Hesha to settle her emotions, but... when it came to Yaozi, he was surprised that Hesha's uneasiness stemmed from her mother, and he didn't think that the support he provided was enough to make Hesha firm.

But even a little bit of strength can make a difference in the face of insecurity.

"I just want to...see her."

In life, I meet my mother; I catch up with my mother's footsteps in a long life, and even find my mother's thoughts in the illusory but real world of "music".

It’s all three, and maybe there are more things that I don’t understand.

Shenwu carefully considered what kind of response he should give to Hesha, but in Hesha's eyes, it was silence.

"Shengo, you would also like to see your uncle sometimes, right?"

"Yes."

Dad... I don’t know where he is now.

The last gift I received from him was a pottery doll from Egypt, and it also came with a postcard... That was two weeks ago, but now, has he gone somewhere else?

As for the meeting, that happened earlier...

Shenwu smiled, but he gave an affirmative answer, but shook his head inexplicably.

"But he and I don't actually see each other very often... Sometimes I wonder if he doesn't like me very much, but it doesn't seem like it. After all, this kind of thing can be felt. "

"Okay, can you feel it?"

That woman Touma Yoko...

For a moment, Hesha couldn't grasp the "feeling" in her heart. She always called her mother "that woman", and it was precisely because of this that the various thoughts in her heart became blurred.

"I, I still don't understand..."

"If you think about it slowly, you'll understand."

Thanks to myself, I spent a lot of free time thinking about various things...

Although they are limited to the complicated thoughts in his own mind, Shenwu also knows that he can be so relaxed because he is free of these constraints.

"And I will also accompany you, Hesha... just like you said before, you will accompany me to do what I want to do."

"You still mention this..."

In fact, it doesn't matter. Rather, it seems that I... want more?

What confuses Kazusa is that she can't figure out Shingo's motives. If she knows that this is Shingo's bad intentions, she will lose her temper more, which will make her mood a little clearer.

in case……

only if...

If this "if" really has such a fruit...

No matter how bold a girl is, she will always hide some secret thoughts in her heart.

"However, since you said you will accompany me to do what I want to do, then help me get the pudding. I want to eat it...and no preaching is allowed."

Volume 35: Chapter 34 Chapter [-] The complex components of mood

Saturday, nine o'clock sharp.

Shenwu watched the time displayed on the screen of his mobile phone change, and then put it away.

He didn't like staring at his phone, but this time he chose to spend about 20 seconds looking directly at the usually annoying blue-white cold light.

After drinking down the remaining half glass of milk on the table, he stood up.

Hesha didn't come for breakfast, but this was not a strange thing. After all, it was not surprising that the routine of life would change on holidays and working days.

Moreover, they didn't agree on what they were going to do together yesterday - but it didn't matter, he believed Hesha wouldn't mind seeing him in the morning.

……

"Good morning, Kazusa! Are you going out?"

"What about you?"

When he opened the door, Shingo saw Hesha who had just walked into the yard next door. He greeted him cheerfully and did not shrink his smile because of the slightly cold tone in Hesha's response.

"I'm going to my friend's house to hang out."

Shingo would not just go through the main entrance. The wall between the two courtyards did not pose any obstacle to him. After jumping over easily, he jumped a few steps and arrived at Hesha's side as he wished.

"Will Hesha welcome me?"

"..."

This guy...

The disappointment that suddenly arose in her heart just now can only be wasted in this way, so Kazusa did not intend to respond to Shingo's joke.

But when her mood was not good enough, she was still a little bit stingy about her smile.

"breakfast."

"You mean..."

The expressionless girl said such a word, and Shenwu was a little confused when he first heard it. He didn't react until Hesha looked at it for a second.

"You didn't have breakfast?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"I mean……"

The time that was determined not long ago seemed to be less tangible now, and Shingo sighed.

"Hesha, you just took a shower, okay?"

"So, what's the problem?"

Kazusa repeated the rhetorical question just now, her tone a little colder. She was no less confused than Shingo.

"If there is a problem, it can't be considered..."

Although there is nothing to do, Shenwu will not get up late because of the arrival of the weekend. Good work and rest habits are a necessary part of life in his opinion - provided that he does not stay up late out of interest.

However, being able to dress up beautifully and go out at nine o'clock is not considered too late for a girl. Only then did he notice that Kazuya was also very beautiful in regular clothes.

The style is more formal, coupled with the cool color combination, it goes well with the gauze temperament.

"If you told me that I rarely get up early and end up not having breakfast, you'd be screwed."

Kazusa was wrong—this statement applies to both Shingo’s thoughts and her concept of “getting up early.”

"Does this count as getting up early..."
