Kotoko who wants to forget Naoki

"Then you stay in the library and wait for my news."

Qinzi listened to the repeated beeps of hanging up the phone, but couldn't speak in a daze.

"That cold-blooded Ijiang called you? Has it been like this lately?"

"That's right." Qinzi shrugged, "But they are all calls to supervise my study progress. It's like a black god."

Rimi looked in disbelief, and Renzi looked at each other, with words written in her eyes

"The iron tree blooms once in a thousand years."

"Listen to me, Qinzi,"

Satomi put on a serious expression, and held Kotoko's shoulder.

"Cold-blooded Rujiang abandoned you to marry Miss Qianjin, and now he came back to look for you after being abandoned. Do you really like this kind of man with no integrity?"

Renzi looked at Limei, a little confused, so, "Irie is just teaching Qinzi English..."

Qinzi nodded to Renzi.

"Don't interrupt." Li Mei glared at Renzi, "Even if you still like him, you have to let him understand that getting your love is not so easy."

"If love is not evenly matched, how can it be sweet and long-lasting?"

The sky is like a cold spring, and the pomegranate flowers in full bloom in front of me are like a dance of gods. This sentence has an inexplicable crimson impression, embedded in Qinzi's heart.

22.

Qinzi sat on the bench at the entrance of the library, quietly waiting to enter the river.

The wind draws back the curtain of dusk, and the horizon in the distance winds with endless blue and loneliness.

She loved someone for so long and so deeply, but she was also worried.

If love is a perfume carefully packed in a bottle, and she has been squandering this feeling, even if the smell is amazing and intoxicating, it will disappear sooner or later.

When loving someone, is it more important to be right, or can there be results if you are fearless?

She suddenly felt a pain in the head.

Life is a maze, but there is no right way to choose.

"What are you thinking, so fascinated."

The twilight stretched the shadows of the two of them far and long. For the first time, Irie found this look on Qinzi's face.

The setting sun left a cold shadow in her pupils, helpless and confused.

"Irie-kun, why are you helping me?"

She is still smiling slightly.

"It's not necessary to say anything."

".....this is a good thing for you....""

Naoki opened his mouth lightly, his silhouette looked colder under the empty sky.

"Is it good for me? Does Irie-kun know what is good for me?"

Qinzi suddenly got a little bored, tired of this cat-and-mouse game,

"Actually, you don't have to be like this. If you want me to leave, just say no."

Qinzi suddenly looked straight at Irijiang, with the light of snow rustling in her eyes

"....It's not..."

Naoki wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak.

Her mood also started to look like a riddle, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't try to figure it out carefully.

"It's not what?"

Qinzi's tone suddenly became a little excited.

"Irie-kun, I... no matter how big I am, I will still be sad. I am not your pet for entertainment when you are bored!"

I don't want to always chase the shadow of your departure, I don't want to always go back and forth cautiously, guessing any possible thoughts and ideas of yours.

But how do you know?

"What are you talking about?"

Naoki frowned, he didn't understand the sadness in her eyes.And the calculation in his heart is immature, and he doesn't want to tell the whole story right now.

"I'm just helping you, if you don't want to, forget it."

He still doesn't have enough patience,

Her inexplicable attack made him displeased, and the uneasiness that was quietly hidden in his heart was like a dark tide rising in the river.

Qinzi gave up.

How could Irie-kun look back at her.It's a pity that she still has a few whimsical thoughts in her heart, but they have long been annihilated before they germinate.

She watched the afterimage of starlight whirling and falling from among the cherry blossoms, so lingering, but ultimately without warmth.

"I will try to leave Japan."

When Qinzi said this sentence, she was not full of morale, but just passed it in a bland manner.

"I think with Irie-kun's help, I will be able to succeed."

23.

Irie Naoki always felt that Aihara Kotoko had changed a bit.

It is the kind of change that is subtle and silent, but sneaks into people's hearts.

When he saw her before, she, who was pretty cute at first, would always dance like a puppet doll, accompanied by a bunch of words of unknown meaning.And there was always a suspicious blush on her cheeks, which made him wonder why this guy was so similar to Tao Zi.

But now when she sees him, he is very quiet, and the flowers that floated in her eyes in the past seem to have withered inexplicably since that day.

Quietly made his chest tighten.

"Do you know what collocation is?"

Seeing Qinzi doing a reading with extra seriousness, Naoki couldn't help but blurt out when she saw a rhinestone clip on her temples and her deliberately modified face.

"don't know."

Qin Zi didn't look up.

"However, just because it doesn't suit Jun Jiang's preferences doesn't mean it doesn't suit other people's preferences."

Naoki was even more unhappy when he heard the words, and took Qinzi's simulation questions

"It took so much time to dress up, and the matching is still so strange. And your English, why don't you know how to spend more time? You did 20 questions and made 13 mistakes?"

It's a lot better than before, okay?

Qinzi was angry silently and snatched back the test paper.

"Today I have something to leave early. Since my incompetent student has made the teacher so angry, then teacher, you should go to bed earlier."

After that, she picked up her bag and went straight to the door.

Naoki stayed in the room alone in astonishment, and Kiko's mother's voice sounded outside the door, asking Qinzi why she didn't move here, and where she was going.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Fujiwara..."

There was something in his heart like a sudden crack in the ice, an indescribable feeling.

Qinzi came to the Chinese restaurant that Fujiwara said as agreed.

This store is decorated very elegantly, located in the center of an artificial lake, the mahogany tables and chairs are exquisite and graceful, and the windows on the wall are also like ancient times, covered with bamboo curtains, but they can't cover the flowing water of the cups, and the moonlight is clear. Meandering like a song.

Qin Zi was dressed in an extremely cute outfit, and she felt a little embarrassed because she didn't fit in with the whole environment.

"I didn't expect this Chinese restaurant to be so beautiful."

Looking at the delicate bowls and chopsticks, the delicate white porcelain is slightly luminous, Qinzi can hardly put the chopsticks down.

"Chinese food has a long history, and it pays attention to complete color, fragrance, and more importantly, a mood."

Fujiwara seemed to be in a good mood, and gently held a jade shoot for Qinzi.

The dishes in front of me looked green and crystal clear, and there were more vegetarian dishes, but all of them were sweet and delicious, which made people's index fingers move.

"It's really delicious. These dishes and this environment make people feel like a fairyland..."

Qinzi ate this and was busy picking another, and Fujiwara kept pouring jasmine sweet tea for her.

"I'll bring you more if I like it. I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities when I go abroad."

Fujiwara smiled slightly. He really liked the way she ate, which made people feel that she had a good appetite.

Qin Zi heard the words, but suddenly stopped chopsticks.

"Yes……."

"what happened?"

"without……."

Qin Zi continued to add vegetables, but when the food arrived in his mouth, he felt that it was not as sweet as before.

"Leaving here, it will be very lonely."

"That's right, but I will accompany Qinzi."

Fujiwara smiled brightly,

"What does Qin Zi think?"

When Fujiwara sent Qinzi home, the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward.

But after all, Fujiwara is older and has a calm temperament, so he doesn't care about it.

"Miss Qinzi, I don't ask you to answer now, we still have a long time to get along."

He suddenly dropped a kiss on her cheek, as soft as a flower petal falling.

"I hope you understand that I have expectations. Goodbye, Kotoko."

Fujiwara looked at Qinzi who was dumbfounded at the door of the house, his words were soft but meaningful.

The darkness at the corner of the street stared covetously, annihilating the brilliance of the stars, but he couldn't move.

The author has something to say: Naoki is listening to the corner!

☆、Chapter 10

24

Qinzi stood at the door of the house, staring at Fujiwara's leaving back for a long time. She couldn't digest so many causes and consequences at once, not to mention that she still had a hurt feeling for Irie in her heart.

At that time, the clouds were as pale as the freehand brushwork of a god, and a bright moon in the sky illuminated people's hearts, while the stars all over the sky were like lights on the dark sea, floating erratically.

"Qinzi."

Hearing the sound of entering the river, Qinzi was really shocked. Although she had calmed down a few days ago, the conditioned reflex cultivated over the years still made her whole body stiff.

"Hey... Irie-kun... the weather is so nice, why don't you come out to look at the stars?"

After talking about Qinzi, I regretted it. In such a situation, such an opening statement, no matter how you look at it, it is out of date.

She should be familiar with it, just go in and go home, regardless of whether he is out for a walk to watch the stars or blow the cold wind.

Taking advantage of the moment when Qinzi wandered away, Zhishu went straight to Qinzi. He was tall, with a dark cloud on his face, Qinzi retreated a few steps inexplicably.

Her thoughts turned, a good girl doesn't suffer in front of her eyes, and the person in front of her is obviously in a bad mood, so why bother to touch his bad luck.

"Ah, it's getting late, Mr. Irijiang is good to go, I'm going back."

After finishing speaking, he stepped back cautiously and smiled obsequiously.

"See you tomorrow, hehe, Irie-kun, hehe, goodbye..."

But not wanting to be inattentive, the person opposite grabbed her arm and yanked it fiercely, and the distance between her and him couldn't be closer.

"I thought you were sincerely studying, but I didn't want you to be very happy to talk about love with others."

His heart was full of mist, even if the moonlight was like water, it couldn't clear away the anxiety that hissed and ignited in his heart.

Being grabbed and questioned, the attack was not light, and the clay figurine also had a bit of a temper.

Qinzi raised her head suddenly, with a half-angry and half-teasing tone.

"Irie Naoki, what do I do, what kind of friendship do I have, do I need to report to you one by one? You——who am I?"

The coldness and alienation in her eyes were like thorns, densely growing to cover the sky, and those sharp thorns wound around his heart tightly round and round.

"What do you think?"

He bent down and kissed her hard, with the cool breath of summer.

Qinzi's mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't help but put her hands on his chest.

His breathing was chaotic, and the heartbeat in his chest was like a drum beating, like cold sea water that had been barren for a long time, suddenly surging.

Picking and twisting slowly, it seems that a century is enough for him. At the beginning, it was just a bit of biting, but later it became more and more entangled with lips and teeth.

Being held tightly in Naoki's arms, her lips were like camellias swaying in the rainstorm, and she felt his demandingness of meeting the first ray of sunshine like a thousand-year-old frozen mountain.

In his kiss, there was inexplicably a trace of bitterness, with a long-buried depression.

Qinzi couldn't connect the chaotic teenager in front of him with the cold, indifferent him with a hint of irony at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, she didn't understand, she didn't understand that he was full of things, like giving up, looking for, suffering, and the breath of happiness.

But it still gave her a slight dull pain.

So she responded to him, but tears fell a little bit.

"Don't cry."

His voice was as clear as a distant mountain, and then he wiped away the tears on her face with his lips.

"I won't let you go..."

Qin Zi lay gently in his arms, her heart was still in chaos.Her feelings for Naoki are like an endless climb, halfway she finally turns her direction, but suddenly finds that the road has turned around and her desired destination has been reached.

The scene was empty, and I didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.

"Then why are you so active in letting me go abroad?"

She hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in her heart.

Naoki didn't answer, but just held him tighter.

The scent of gorse in the air was suddenly strong, and he finally spoke.

"When the time is right, I will go too."

"what?"

Qinzi opened her eyes wide, and the moonlight just fell on her eyes, twinkling like gems in the deep sea.

"The uncle's company."

"What do you think I work so hard to work overtime..."

He finally lost to the girl in front of him.

"I've always felt a responsibility to restore prosperity to Dad's company, and I've yet to think about it, but I don't want to..."

He looked at her gradually pink cheeks and sighed.

"However, that's not bad."

They hugged each other for a long time, they couldn't feel the passage of time, even the stars hid in the clouds, not daring to make a sound.

Finally Naoki felt it was too late and let go of Kotoko.

"It's late today, you should go back."

Qin Zi nodded obediently, but grabbed one corner of his clothes, unwilling to let go.

"What's the matter?" Looking at her appearance, he was both satisfied and funny.

"I always feel that this is not real...in case it is a dream...."

"That's how you remember it?"

He lightly licked her rose-colored lips again, with a teasing smile.

"Or do you want me to get a mark or something?"

Qinzi's face finally turned red, which was much more attractive than the radiance, and she waved her hands again and again.

"No...no need..."

Sending her to the front of the house, Naoki gently combed Xiaqinzi's messy hair, speaking very softly.

"I watched you go in."

"See you tomorrow, Irie-kun."

When Qinzi opened the door, she glanced back at Naoki, the sky was silent, and the waterfall of moonlight and ripples of green flowers dazzled him all over.

She closed the door, her knees softened, she covered her lips, and there was only one sentence in her mind.

So cunning.....

25.

"Aihara" is extremely busy today, so Qinzi also returned to the shop to help.

In fact, Qinzi really didn't want to go back to the store to help, one of them was Ah Jin... She had actually been avoiding him during this time.The second is...she is afraid of meeting Fujiwara.....

A Jin may not see him again after going abroad, but Fujiwara...

Her face seemed slumped like a small sour orange.

"Qinzi..."

Ah Jin's eyes were almost filled with tears.

"Why are you messing with that annoying guy Irie again..."

"Akin... I'm sorry..."

Qinzi hugged the tray, hesitated and couldn't say anything...

"Irie finally snatched away the lovely Qinzi.......55555"

Ah Jin couldn't help himself anymore, hugged the corner of the table, and started to cry...

"Ajin...don't be like this..."

Qinzi wanted to say something, but found that everything she said was wrong.

What's more, what is the relationship between her and Irie?

I like you, or I want you to be my girlfriend...

However, the touch of the kiss last night was so real...

Seeing Qinzi gently stroking his lips and falling into deep thought, Ajin suddenly felt even more sad.

"Qinzi, you idiot!"

After all, I ran to the back kitchen....

"Brother, you are in a good mood recently~"

Hiroki looked at Naoki who raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Well, let me guess~ Did you find it particularly interesting to teach the idiot Qinzi English?"

Naoki took two books and tapped Yushu's head lightly.

"People are big and little devils."

"Mom knows how happy you two are when you two have gotten better recently. You just whisper in my ear every day, when will you be able to bring Qinzi home..."

Hiroki looked excited, and suddenly saw the books in Naoki's hands, one was anatomy, and the other was an anthology of ancient and modern waka.

"Brother... you..."

"Just for interest."

Naoki stroked Yuki's head and messed up his bangs.

"elder brother……"

Yu Shu looked at Zhi Shu with a warm smile, and made a decision in his heart.

Kotoko was waiting for Naoki at the first turn of the Aihara gate as agreed.

The traffic lights are like the rhythm of the restless music in the city, and the tall buildings stare at the networked streets with empty eyes.

She waited for a long time, the heat of the asphalt climbed up her back like a vine.The traffic is noisy, the mind is filled with noise

"Yo."

Naoki stood there with a half-smile, the sun weaving the details of the distant sky on his shoulders.

Obviously it was just one word, but Qinzi's heart was quiet.

"You kept me waiting for a long time."

Qinzi murmured, her bangs were wet with sweat, and her face was flushed red from the sun.

Naoki helplessly tapped her forehead with his finger.

"You don't know how to wait for me to order something to drink in the small shop by the side of the road? Send a text message and you'll know."

"I'm afraid you won't see me..."

Qinzi said angrily, there was such a passionate kiss last night...but today it is so calm.

Thinking of those kisses, Qinzi's face couldn't help but start to get hot. Although she has no experience, she also knows that his kissing skills are very good.

Sweet and lingering, those clouds floating in the sky seem to fall in my heart.

Naoki is completely helpless, this woman's slowness is beyond comparison to ordinary people.He walked forward quite a bit, but she stayed where she was, in a daze.

"I said you... hurry up and follow."

"Ah~"

Only then did Qinzi come back to his senses, he responded with a cry, and chased after him.

"Slow down...don't fall down again."

After saying that, he took Qinzi's hand.

When Qinzi was dazzled, he looked back and smiled.

"You are too heavy, I don't want to carry it a second time."

"Excessive!"

Kotoko pursed her lips and wanted to shake Naoki away, but he pulled her closer with force.

"Walk well, don't act like a child."

The dancing of cherry blossoms is like the laughter of elves, and the road paved with pink is like a dream.

"You're really stuck today..."

Naoki stood on the table with his hand supporting him, looking at Qinzi who hadn't finished reading an article for half an hour, and lost his temper at all.

"That's not because..."

because of you.

In fact, Qinzi didn't dare to look directly at Irijiang's face, especially the sky that inadvertently flowed through the blinds reflected his clear eyes, reminding her of the moonlight that night.

"That....Irie-kun...you...you...you...you like..."

"What are you going to say?"

"Do you like more mangoes or more tomatoes!"

It does not make sense!

Qinzi covered her face with the test paper. Even if she couldn't see it, she knew that Mr. Irijiang must have laughed so hard that his shoulders were trembling.

Naoki coughed several times, and finally held back his smile and put on a serious look. He took off the test paper from her hand, and looked at her extremely sad eyes, which were wet like a puppy.

He handed her a letterhead.

"If you can read this, you will know the answer."

しのぶれど/色に出にけり/わが恋は/物や思ふと/人の问ふまで

(The lovesickness is revealed, and I can't hide it. Who is the cause of the troubles, and I ask people to ask questions)

"However, with your IQ, it is estimated that the time to know the answer is far away, right?"

Naoki looked at Qinzi with a smile, completely ignoring the chaos in the wind roaring in Qinzi's heart.

Why do I have to delve into waka when I ask a question...

It's really hard to communicate with a man with a high IQ...

Qinzi was in tears secretly, looking forward to an expert to help her answer...

The author has something to say: After writing, I feel that people are a little bit broken. Sorry. There is no time to change the manuscript. . . .

☆、Chapter 11

26.

When Limei and Renzi found Qinzi under the tangled branches and leaves of a large Tangdi flower, they found that she had an expression of not knowing why.

"I said you, have you had a heated fight with Leng Xuejiang recently?"

Renzi bumped Qinzi with her shoulder, and it was clearly written on the corners of her eyes and brows, watching the excitement.

fiery……

Qinzi couldn't help but be moved when she heard the words, Xia Rifeihua's eyes were as charming as silk, inexplicably stirring up her heart.

"I think there is definitely a situation..."

Satomi frowned and sat down with folded arms.

"You... kissed?"

"Huh?" Qinzi was being talked about, her face was flushed like a rose in full bloom.

"This man, Irijiang, usually looks cold and cold, but he didn't expect to be very good at women..."

Li Mei sighed, looking at Qin Zi's eyes full of peach blossoms, "You, I think this life is planted."

"Okay, okay, help me research the meaning of this Japanese song..."

Qinzi took out a piece of letterhead, which was the one that Irijiang handed her yesterday.Even if she thought about it carefully, she only got a rough idea.This waka was written by Hira Kanemori. It is about a person who is always in a trance, so someone asked him, are you yearning for someone?

Qinzi thought to herself, this person's guess is really illogical.First of all, if a person is in a trance, it is likely that he did not sleep well, or it may be because of heavy schoolwork, studying hard every day, thinking about those boring formulas, and being tortured to describe it as bleak.Otherwise, I didn't eat enough, or I was sick, so I looked haggard.Isn't it too rash to draw this conclusion just by looking at people in a trance?

Also, what can be seen from people's eyebrows and eyes, it's just the size of the eyes, or the thick eyebrows.Ah, there is also the ability to tell whether this person is good-looking or not. As for thinking and so on, how can you guess it.

Qinzi explained her conclusions to Limei and Renzi in detail, and they suddenly realized.

"Is it because Mr. Irijiang thinks that he has been giving you advice recently that he can't sleep well and is in a trance?"

Qinzi clapped her hands, thinking about Mr. Irijiang's attitude towards herself, and felt that it was very possible.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, Mr. Irijiang felt that he couldn't guess what he meant, but it was actually not that difficult.Um, is it because I often spend time with Irie-kun, so IQ level has increased recently?

Thinking about it this way, although Mr. Irijiang still avoids answering his own question, and his question is so strange, it is also in line with his temperament.Probably because of the relationship of kissing, he can't directly be mean to himself like before, and spare such a big detour to express his meaning.

After thinking about it again, although the relationship between her and Irie-kun is unclear now, in order to take care of her mind, he even expresses such a simple idea as "working hard and wanting to rest", and he even expresses it in waka. Do not lament his elegance.

"I see!"

Qin Zi jumped up, and the sun danced like golden spikes in her hair.She raised the corners of her lips, praising herself sincerely in her heart, but she didn't know why those ripples were a little shallow.

"Thank you Limi, Renzi, I can finally tell Irie-kun today that I understand~~~"

After saying that, he bounced and walked towards the library, leaving Satomi and Niko looking at each other because they didn't know.

"Is Irie-kun such a graceful person?"

"Not at all. The power of love is frightening."

When Naoki got off work, seeing Kotoko quietly waiting for him at the intersection, his tired heart suddenly softened.

The light blue figure disturbed the setting sun, pieces of light feathers fell on the ground like petals, sporadic points, inadvertently stuck to the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, very warm.

"Here, Irie-kun~"

She was extraordinarily attentive today, and this little girl took two cans of juice and offered to hand them over.He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, took a can very naturally, glanced at it, it was his favorite brand, and felt that today's sky was extraordinarily high, and even the position where the clouds floated was his favorite.

"What's the matter, have you memorized all the words? It's still easy to read." When he was very comfortable, he liked to step on the sore spots of the piano.

"Hey hey..." Qinzi looked away calmly, "It's okay...it's okay..."

After a pause, I finally remembered today's topic.

"Well, Irie-kun, I know the meaning of that waka~~"

Qinzi raised her head as if she was offering a treasure, her eyes were smiling brightly, reflecting the beautiful light like a crystal.

"Huh~?"

Naoki turned sideways to face Qinzi, bent slightly, held the juice in one hand, and supported the wall behind Qinzi with the other.

Today's weather is really good, the water blue sky is reconciled with the afterglow, and people are covered with a mist-like brilliance.

"Tell me, what do you know...?"

The last sentence was spoken close to Qinzi's ear. She felt his shallow breathing, carrying the heat of the evening, and couldn't help but flushed. She couldn't help leaning back, but she still escaped. Can't get out the breath around him.

"That waka said that what I was thinking, because I was in a trance, was seen by others, and I thought I was yearning for someone... How could Mr. Irie miss someone, so it was because I was too tired from tutoring me and my mind was in a trance. So Mr. Irie wants to tell me that I am tired and want to have less counseling and take more rest."

She looked up, showing a very cute smile.

"Isn't that right, Nai, Irie-kun?"

These words were like an invisible force, stopping Naoki from continuing to bend down.

He couldn't breathe, and his chest hurt.

"You're actually from the Department of Literature?"

He couldn't help pinching her face, regardless of her screaming.

"I think you should go back and repeat junior high, oh no, elementary."

After all, he felt that it was not enough, so he added a few words coldly.

"Today you must complete 10 mock questions, or don't sleep!"

When I got home, Naoki, whose mood suddenly turned gloomy, gave everyone a look of unlucky eyes. Everyone even ate their meals carefully, and Kotoko was even more restless.

After a stiff dinner, Naoki said, "I'm going to take a shower", and went upstairs in a gloomy wind.

Yu Shu saw the clue.

"Stupid Qinzi, did you do something to make brother angry?"

Qinzi drooped her face, shrugged her shoulders, and roughly told the whole story.

"Then show me that waka."

Hiroki took the letter.

The words on the paper were clear, but he was secretly surprised.

Brother... unexpectedly... would be so straightforward.Thinking back to the waka collection that my brother read over and over again a few days ago...

"Then what do you think that means?"

Yu Shu thought, brother's thoughts are probably going to be wasted.

"Well, Irie-kun thinks I'm too tired to tutor me, so I'm in a trance?"

Looking at Irie-kun's expression, she knew that her understanding was wrong, but she really didn't dare to think about another possibility...

When Yu Shu heard this sentence, the juice he was drinking spewed out, choking him to cough, sighing while coughing.

"My brother is so pitiful... This is called playing the piano against a cow."

Yushu thought for a while, but still didn't tell Qinzi what he really meant.

"I'm afraid you have to understand the meaning of this waka, otherwise it will lose its meaning."

Yushu stood up, patted Qinzi who was sitting, and said with emotion.

"But at your level, it may take a year or two to understand."

Qin Zi was choked speechless.

Qinzi has a headache when she sees this letter these days, so in Xiangyuan store, when she has nothing to do, she holds this piece of paper, sighs and is in a daze.

"Qinzi, what are you doing?"

Ajin looked at the listless Qinzi, and brought a plate of boiled beef brisket with radish with a smile on his face.

"This is my home-cooked dish for restoring vitality~"

"Thank you Jin~"

Qinzi put down the piece of paper, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The mellow taste made happiness spread all over his body immediately.

"what is this?"

Ah Jin picked up the piece of paper and found that... he couldn't read it.

"Irie gave this to you?"

"Eh?"

Before Qinzi came back to his senses, he noticed that Ajin's eyes had become very sad again.

"Qinzi, I am so disappointed that you actually accepted Irie's love letter..."

His words trembled at the end, he put down the waka, and ran to the back kitchen again...

Qinzi was still holding the bowl of hot beef brisket, and felt that this scene was very familiar...

But Ah Jin's words were like a flash of lightning, a certain door in Qinzi's heart suddenly creaked open...

"Has someone written a love letter to Qinzi?"

The clear wave shimmered through the familiar voice, even if Qinzi didn't turn around, she knew who it was.

"Mr. Fujiwara."

Qin Zi smiled stiffly, and pushed the letter paper on the table into the corner without leaving a trace.

"Long time no see... long time no see..."

"Aren't you happy that Qinzi met me?" Fujiwara smiled lightly, but that smile was tainted with the meaning of decayed grass in early autumn, which made Qinzi's chest a little depressed.

Taking advantage of Qinzi's slight loss of consciousness, he picked up the piece of paper.

After seeing those few words, his eyes were like ashes sprinkled with stars, full of sadness.

"It really is a love letter... But from my standpoint, I really don't want to tell Qinzi what this waka expresses."

He put down the waka, his voice mixed with a little sigh

"Actually, Qinzi might not understand, right?"

Although Qinzi said that he could go back by himself, Fujiwara still insisted on sending him back.Aihara's father and Ah Jin were worried about a girl walking around at night because the store had to be tidied up, so they agreed.

Qinzi couldn't disobey everyone's opinions, so she asked Fujiwara to take a walk all the way to send her back.

Because she was going to Irie's house, Qinzi was a little embarrassed, but Fujiwara still behaved like a gentleman.

The cherry blossoms beside the road quietly fell with the sigh of summer. The branches that were originally full of pink snow and red were also touched by the hand of time. .

"Even if I understand this waka, I don't understand Irie-kun's thoughts."

Qinzi was silent for a long time, and finally, under Fujiwara's inquiring eyes, she spoke out the thoughts hidden in her heart.

"Even... we have acts similar to lovers."

The beautiful scene from the past appeared in her mind.

"But to say that Irie-kun likes me, even concealed it for a long time, and finally revealed his true feelings, I really can't believe it."

She pointed to her chest, the clouds covered the moon, the sky was clear and far away, and there was no wave.

"To be honest, when Irie and Sahoko got engaged, I was very hurt. Throughout the ages, whether it is Waka, novels, or movies, I have spared no effort to describe the pain of separation and despair. But the real feeling... that is absolutely It cannot be described.”

She lowered her face, her tone was very light.

Fujiwara thought she was crying, but found that when she looked up, her eyes were a little sad.

"Originally, when he kissed me, I felt that the flowers all over the world were blooming, and my whole body seemed to be spinning in the vortex of the sun. But the next moment, like a conditioned reflex, I would think, could this be him? A random prank? After a few months, will he be as cold as before?

"If Qinzi has troubles, you can talk to me. Even if I can't come up with any good ideas, at least you can listen."

Qinzi touched her messed up bangs, and smiled softly.
