Chapter 4

When entering the library, Kaneki unconsciously looked in that direction——

Sure enough, here it is again...that girl.

Dazzling enough to stand out from the crowd, whether it is appearance or temperament, and with that still immature face of a middle school student, he can sit in the university library holding obscure books for a whole day... ...It's hard not to pay attention to it.

Also, it is not difficult to see from her elegant posture when she sits upright that this tutor is very good.

She has been coming every day recently, and this state has lasted for nearly half a month.

It’s late May and it’s not yet the holidays, and it doesn’t look like a bad girl with physical problems or in the rebellious period of youth. Judging from the quiet and beautiful but not fanatical side face while studying, it shouldn’t be surprising.” Reading addiction"...

So, why does she stay here and read every day instead of going to school?

The level of knowledge jumped two spans, and each time she chose a professional and unpopular book... But judging by her expression, it seemed that there was really no difficulty in reading it, but it was not enjoyable... Why?

It's so weird, it's impossible not to care.

"Well……"

The neck was hooked from behind, and the head was pressed against it, "Yo——Kaneki, what are you looking at?"

It's a good friend - Ying.

Kaneki moved symbolically, without really wanting to break free, "Well, Ying...in the library, speak softly."

"Okay, okay, let me see what Kaneki is looking at..." Yong Jin casually agreed and leaned forward with a smile, bending slightly and resting his head on Kaneki's shoulder, "Eh?—is that girl child?"

He pointed at Qingshi, then turned his head to look into Kaneki's eyes for confirmation.

"No, nothing." Jin Mu quickly covered it up.

It's just...whether it's the movement of looking away or the vague change of the subject, it looks like it's trying to cover up.

"Oh~ that's it..." Yongjin moved closer to the ground, and his expression became ambiguous. He looked at Qingshi and commented, "The face is indeed not bad, but judging by the figure...is the age too young? A little bit, or Kaneki, do you like this one? Tsk tsk—"

"Ying, you'll be overheard when you secretly talk about how close you are to others. It's too impolite." Even knowing that his friend has such an unscrupulous personality, Kaneki still feels a little embarrassed.

He quickly glanced at Qingshi who was motionless, probably...hasn't noticed yet?

"It's not what you think—" he was relieved suddenly, he carefully kept his voice close to Yong Jin's ear and defended in a whisper, "I just think...she looks a little special."

"Generally speaking, the beginning of a relationship starts with 'feeling special'." Yong Jinchun blinked his eyes, and his expression of "needless to say I understand you" made Kaneki collapse instantly, but he was far from over, "It's just that I didn't expect Jin Mu that you would..."

"Ying, you—"

Jin Mu's voice raised unconsciously, Yong Jin covered his mouth in time, and smiled and waved his hands to apologize to the people next to him, and when they looked away, they looked at Jin Mu with a funny look, "Don't be so excited, just kidding, just kidding Just kidding." He tugged at the corner of Jin Mu's mouth, "The way you called my name out loud just now, you finally started to look like a college student, please smile more, don't always be lifeless."

"Okay, okay——" Yongjin didn't give Jinmu time to react, and immediately took the latter's arm to Qingshi's direction, "Let's go, go say hello to him."

"It's not very good, and I don't know..." Jin Mu pestle stood in place, resisting.

Yongjin pulled him hard, "Let's go, let's go, how can others know you without even saying hello? If you are a man, don't be so coy, and..." He turned his head and smiled at Jin Mu, "OK It’s easy to meet someone who can interest you, Kaneki, how can you miss it so easily. Come here quickly—it’s me, if not, I’ll be the bad guy.”

"Ying, you really..."

"Let's go, hurry up—"

First being dragged, then Kaneki took the initiative to keep up with Yongjin's pace——

This person is always trying to do everything for him...

Looking at Yong Jin's back, the corners of Jin Mu's mouth curled up unconsciously, and his dark eyes were extraordinarily warm.

It's not the peak season yet, and Qingshi's location is relatively remote. Three of the four seats are vacant, and Yongmei unceremoniously snatched the farthest diagonal seat, and winked at Kaneki to mean "" See how willing I am to give you a good position."

The place where Kaneki was moved just now was suddenly occupied by helplessness. He couldn't be as careless as Yongjin, "That..." Qingshi raised his head when he heard the sound, and the moment his eyes collided with the pair of different-colored pupils, Kaneki Still amazed...

Heterochromatic pupils, very rare...

"Are you talking to me?" Seeing that Jinmu hadn't spoken for a long time, Qingshi took the initiative to speak.

It's the same gentle voice as I imagined, but compared to the usual dispensable way of greeting, it makes people want to respond when she says it... It's not a questioning tone, why does it feel so strong?

There was no one else here, the words were obviously meant for Jin Mu, the person concerned was not consciously embarrassed, and looked at Yong Jin from the corner of his eye for help, but the friend was looking out the window with his hands behind his head.

The thumbs up has already shown all his attitude.

What he said just now was so beautiful, but in the end he still chose to sit idly by, as expected...it's unbelievable, Yingtao.

Jin Mu didn't know what to say, so he had to bite the bullet and communicate with Qingshi, "Excuse me, can I sit here?" He pointed to the seat opposite Qingshi and next to Yongjin.

Qingshi smiled at him, "There is no one in that position, please feel free."

"……thanks."

Before Kaneki could sit still, Yongjin's voice sounded again immediately, "I'm so thirsty~ I'm going to buy a drink."

"Then I too..." Go.

As soon as he stood up, Yongjin pressed his shoulders and buckled it down, "No need, Kaneki, just sit here and wait obediently, I will bring you what you like." Yongjin didn't give him any chance to refute , before leaving, he bent down and whispered in Jinmu's ear.

"A two-person world, it's up to you next, do a good job and don't let me down."

but……

Although Jin Mu has a gentle and tolerant personality, it makes people feel very comfortable to get along with him, but these can only be felt after contact.He himself is too introverted, and the other party is a girl, which directly leads to the current situation...

I don't know how to communicate at all!

What kind of opening statement can make people feel comfortable without feeling frivolous?

Sure enough, it would be impossible without Ying. Why did you listen to Ying just now? It has been in this state for a long time...

Ying outside had already taken out the ponta from the vending machine, opened it and raised his head to take a sip, "Kaneki should be... no problem, right? Don't worry about it, let him try even if he fails. no……"

Inside, Kaneki who was "heartbroken" lowered his head, and heard the rustling sound of flipping books on the opposite side, which made the surrounding area even quieter.

Come back soon, Ying!

"Your friend...he probably will stay outside for a long time." Qingshi closed the book and said with a smile, "He's very interesting."

Jin Mu suddenly raised his head, and coincidentally crossed her eyes, his eyes with very different colors were clearly reflecting his own figure, including her soft smile, which could be so comfortable... easily make people let go of their tension and vigilance.

Kaneki scratched his head embarrassingly, "Did you hear that? I'm really sorry, Ying and he are not—"

"I didn't hear what I was talking about, but I felt that someone was looking at me. There are not many people around today and you are the only ones around, so it can be easily judged." Qingshi paused for a while, "And there was someone who was caught before The feeling of being watched, that person... is also you, right?"

"I'm really sorry, but you're a little... special. I mean no harm."

Qingshi responded: "Well, I can feel it."

Kaneki's mouth opened, but in the end only two "thank you" came out.

Qingshi was lowering her head and carelessly stroking her long hair. When she heard Kaneki's trembling voice, she couldn't help raising her head, and seeing the black-haired college student who was a few years older than her sitting on pins and needles, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Are you afraid of me?" Qingshi put her beautiful hands on the cover of the book casually, and lowered her head to organize the books, "Heterophobia... I remember there is such a saying."

"No." Jin Mu hurriedly waved his hand, he seemed a little embarrassed, "I... just not very good at communicating with strangers."

"Is that so? It does feel that way, but it can be seen...your friend cares about you very much."

"Yingta, has always been..." Treat me very well.

Kaneki stopped talking halfway.

But Ying Mingming was looking forward to that, but in the end I still... It's so useless, me.

Qingshi gathered a few books on the table, walked to the bookshelf and wanted to put them back in their original positions, but when she stood on tiptoe, she realized that there was still a lot of gaps.That's right, when it was taken down, it was borrowed from the administrator's ladder.

She put the book aside and wanted to move something.

Kaneki also noticed, out of the mentality of compensation and apology, he immediately stood up, "—I'll do it."

Jin Mu, who turned around and stood up at Qingshi, couldn't help laughing immediately, "Thank you, but... I'm afraid you can't—" She pointed to the bookshelf, and her tone was as tactful as possible, "Well, even if you stand on tiptoe, you are still [-] centimeters behind me ..."

Jin Mu estimated the height difference between himself and Qingshi... It's embarrassing to say such a thing without thinking.

"You wait here, I'll go find the ladder. Be right back."

Even though she turned around quickly to cover it up, Qingshi still saw the blush on his face.

In the end Kaneki stood on the ladder, and Qingshi was below to help pass the books and report the location. Kaneki took the books one by one, and when he scanned the title of the book, he was still so surprised that he couldn't help opening his mouth and asked, "Do you understand all these..." ?”

As soon as he exited, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he just met so much... He quickly lowered his head, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Qingshi didn't mind much.

After several rounds of conversations, Qingshi has a basic understanding of Kaneki's character. Generally speaking, he is a shy and harmless college boy, pure and clean but not really brainless.She is completely kind to her... There is no way to hate her.

Huh? ——So she always prefers this type?

"The general meaning can be read, and the rest of the proper nouns are more troublesome, but there is no problem if there are annotations." Qingshi said and passed the next book, "This book is on this floor from the left. Four locations where I have bookmarked."

"Please be careful."

"Okay, I'll be safe."

The location is a little far away, and Kaneki needs to turn his body sideways to hook it, "It's amazing...uh—" After chatting for so long, we haven't told each other's names, but Qingshi is still troubled by the "self-preference" The problem inevitably made Kaneki feel disappointed that "she doesn't want to know me", but the other party's doing so... seems to be nothing wrong.

"You seem to like reading? Because I noticed that you have been coming lately..."

"It's okay." Qingshi's eyes were calm and far away, "The collection of books in the university library is relatively rich and concentrated, and it is relatively easy to find the information you want..."

"Huh?—what are you looking for?"

After waiting for a while, when Kaneki felt that he would not wait until returning, Qingshi's extremely low voice sounded.

"The case still has... evidence."

Jinmu has long discovered that their entire chat rhythm is controlled by the other party. The girl in front of him is obviously several years younger than him, but she seems to be used to controlling everything—the way is very gentle and silent... But It can still be felt.This may have something to do with her family background, until the slight sound just now... Only then did she reveal some confusion and helplessness that are rare for this age group.

Jin Mu unconsciously let out a soft voice, "So... have you found it?"

Qingshi shook her head, "Not yet."

"Um...sorry."

The young man's cautious attitude actually made Qingshi laugh, "It's been like this from the beginning, in fact, I've always wanted to say—why do you keep asking me to apologize when you obviously did nothing wrong?... I don't seem to be so Difficult to deal with."

Kaneki subconsciously wanted to say "sorry" again, but when he saw Qingshi staring into his eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and could only explain, "I, I didn't mean that, I just……"

"Well, I know." Qingshi interrupted his introspection at the right time, "Just now I wanted to say that you seem...to be too careful and concerned about the people and things around you, you can try to shift the focus to yourself a little bit —they're not as fragile as you think."

Handing over the last book, Qingshi stroked her long hair and smiled softly, "I seem to be talking too much again. This can be regarded as my bad habit. If something makes you unhappy... I hope you don't let it go." In my heart."

Kim was stunned.

Ying also told him the same thing, but Ying is his friend for many years and it is normal to see through this point, but this girl is meeting and talking to him for the first time at this moment, will this be the case? too……

And what's more, she used a gentle and polite way of wording, but the suggestion she made made people feel that it was more difficult to refuse, not only that, she became willing to drown in this tenderness and become what she wanted .

Kaneki is not a child, and he can tell that the other party has extremely keen observation skills and terrifying commanding power. Combined with her smile and unique speaking skills, that kind of subconscious obedience can even be called "dangerous". Yes, but even so... This kind of gentle offensive that can't tell the truth from the fake or is strategic is still so tempting to fall into.

Strangely, the beating frequency of the heart became irregular.

Wanting, wanting... uncontrollably wanting to—

"I, my name is Kaneki Ken!"

Since the first word was spoken, the body became uncontrollable, and the soul was pulled out alone, floating in mid-air, looking at the "body" below stretching out its hand helplessly, and said in a tense and trembling voice, "May I know you?"

no answer.

The girl on the opposite side held her head up slightly because of the height difference brought by the ladder. At this moment, she slid down from his face little by little, and swam all the way to the hand he offered—it was so embarrassing, her fingertips were still trembling!

then……

"Yes." Like Kaneki receiving the book she handed out, Qingshi stretched out her hand to shake the useless hand, and she politely leaned over and bent down, "Nice to meet you, Kaneki-kun. I'm Akashi Qingshi .”

"First, first meeting... Aka, Akashi-san." The situation changed so quickly that Kaneki couldn't digest it.

After just holding it, she immediately released it. Qingshi put her hands behind her back and turned to look at the bookshelf next to her.

"Jin Mu-jun."

"what--?"

The incident happened suddenly, and Kaneki didn't even get rid of the disappointment on his face, when he saw Qingshi pointing at a thick book with her slender white fingers.

"Jin Mu-jun, can you borrow this book for me?" She turned her head suddenly, the smile on her lips and eyes was just right and touching, "I want to borrow it back to read, but it is stipulated that you are not a student of this school. It is not allowed to borrow..."

She repeated the request in a slow tone, "Can you borrow it for me, Jin Mu-jun?"

Qingshi's facial features are already very good-looking, and appearance is one of women's weapons, but when she really wants to show this beautiful side——

"Yes, yes...Okay."

Kaneki once again lost control of his thoughts to the point that he couldn't even speak well.

The girl beside her smiled crookedly, her beautiful eyebrows slowly stretched with slight laziness and warmth, "Thank you."

Really... It can be called too beautiful.If, if it was like this from the beginning... no, it should be that as long as it is what she wants, as long as she shows such an expression... it is impossible to fail.

A slightly scary girl, but still uncontrollably... attracted.

Although the name was successfully exchanged in the end, but looking back on the process - it was still very embarrassing, Ying qaq
