I can't say it, I love you

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

"Mizuki, Mizuki Ryuya! Didn't you come?" The teacher tapped the roll call board. "Namimi-san, do you know why Mizuki-san is absent?"

"He's...not feeling well," he lied.

Qing Ying looked at the empty seat beside her and sighed.

"He likes girls, but I'm different!"

"Even I feel disgusted, I know it when I see En looking at me. But Kazuki, he saw me being kissed by En, but he didn't say anything..."

Until last night, Liu Ye's tears kept coming to mind, lingering.

The bell rang for the end of the third period, and Qing Ying stood up and walked to the corridor.

"I heard that Mizuki from class B caught Sako's best."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"That guy Hirano, I heard he even kissed Mizuki in front of her, that's really cruel!"

"Didn't Hirano dump him? Why are you still doing this?"

"Who knows, Hirano is notoriously sentimental, he even fucked a water tree, so kissing him is nothing."

Qingying clenched her fists and immediately ran to En's class.

He opened the classroom door and angrily walked towards En's position.

"Why do you play with him like this?"

"Playing? What do you mean?" Hirano placed the video game in his hand on the table, and lazily met Qingying's gaze.

"You bastard!" Qing Ying couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the collar of En's shirt.

"You are Nanami Qingying, you have a really rude personality." En smiled indifferently. "Since you want to know what I did to Convection so much, why don't you take a lunch break today, in the open space next to the warehouse." En hooked his lips, and pulled Qingying's hand away.

The lunch bell rang.

"Really on time."

Qing Ying looked at En leaning against the wall of the warehouse coldly.

"What the hell did you do to him?"

"I don't think Ruu wants anyone to know. But since you're his friend, it doesn't matter."

Qingying frowned, he hated Hirano's indifferent and very frivolous smiling face.

"The reason why I dated Ruya was purely a gamble between me and my friend. The reason for this gamble was that my friend said after school one day: 'Since you are so fond of girls , what about the boy?"

"So, I randomly found a boy at the school gate, that is Ruya. At first I didn't think he would like boys at all. When I said I like you, his face turned red. And he nodded silently. promise.

"So, that's how the gamble started. The content of the gamble is: 'Dating for one semester, once the deadline is up, even if I win, it's up to me to continue dating or break up, but if we break up halfway..."

"So after one semester, you dumped Ruya, you bastard?" Qingying stared at En with unforgiving eyes.

"That's right, I'm really sorry." He said apologetically, but there was no apologetic expression on Danen's face.

Qing Ying clenched her fingers, her eyes full of incomprehension towards En.

Hirano just smiled slightly, pursing her thin lips. "By the way, Ruya's taste is very sweet. Are all people in love like him?" Qingying met her provocative eyes.

"You are really a scumbag!" Qing Ying grabbed En's collar and pulled his face closer to her. "I'm sorry for that sentence just now, go and say it to Ruya."

"I don't think it is necessary for me to apologize to him." En coldly pulled Qingying's hand away.

"you……"

"I did say that I like him, but I didn't force him to be with me. From the beginning to the end, it was his own self-indulgence. I just followed my bet. When the deadline comes, it's all up to my choice. Separate, or Continue. However, I chose to separate."

"That's your unilateral selfish choice, what about Ruya? Did you give him a chance to choose?"

"That's not necessary at all, because from the beginning to the end, this love is my own game, and he is just a pawn to cooperate with me."

"Don't go too far!" Qingying clenched her fist and swung it towards En's face. The strong force caused En to hit the cardboard box next to the wall.

"Hirano, listen carefully, this punch is not just for Ruya, but for all the people you have played with." Qing Ying coldly glanced at En who fell to the ground, turned and left.

En raised his hand to wipe away the blood dripping from the corner of his lips, and slowly stood up.

The jet-black hair was blown by the slightly hot afternoon wind, but there was still that indifferent smile hanging on his face.

"Ding dong──"

"This is Mizuki's house, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Ruya's classmate, Nanami Qingying. Is it convenient for Ruya now?"

"So it's Ruya's classmate, please come in." Mrs. Mizuki smiled and opened the door.

"Excuse me. Is Ruya okay?"

"For some reason, that child didn't eat anything when he got home last night, and he didn't say anything when asked. After entering the room, he locked the door and hasn't come out until now." Mrs. Mizuki looked worriedly at the closed upstairs. door.

"Let me try." Qing Ying comforted with a smile.

"sorry to bother you."

Qing Ying stepped up the stairs and stopped in front of Liu Ye's room.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door panel lightly: "Ryuya, I'm Nanami, can you open the door, please?"

The people inside were silent for a long time before they said in a low voice, "Go back, Qingying."

"...Auntie is very worried about you, even if it's for her, come out and let her rest assured, okay?" He persuaded him patiently.

There was another silence inside, until the footsteps in the room became more and more clear, and the door finally opened.

What caught Qing Ying's eyes was Liu Ye's gloomy face and the messy room.

"Liu, Liuye?" Qing Ying approached him a little surprised, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Let's go inside and talk."

Entering the room, Qing Ying sat on the floor by the bed and put her schoolbag beside her.

"Damn! You bastard, you don't pick up your phone or anything, you thought you disappeared."

"The phone is dead, it's just charging now." Liu also turned on the phone and put it on the desk.

"Hey, you don't come to school, and you don't answer the phone, isn't it because of love?" Qing Ying asked jokingly.

Liu Ye's expression was a little displeased, and Qingying knew that she was stepping on his sore spot.

"Is that true? Sorry..."

The atmosphere was a bit tense, so Qingying had no choice but to start talking about what happened today, but skipped the part of talking with En.

There was always a time when the words were finished, and when there was no topic, Qing Ying suddenly realized that when he was talking, Liu Ye didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Suddenly Qingying remembered last night, what Liu Ye said about giving up on himself on the road, and without thinking, she said, "I never said you made me feel sick, and I don't think so. So what if you like boys?" Qingying said The rhetorical question made Liu also raise his head. "Aren't people who like boys?"

"Qingying..."

"Do you think so little of yourself?"

Qing Ying's words made Ling Liu run out of words, and the wound in her heart didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.

"Ryuya, listen to me. Just ignore what that guy Hirano is talking about, just do what you think is right and don't feel ashamed of yourself."

Liu also raised his head and met Qingying's eyes.

"Also, a friend is the one who will lend a helping hand to help you when you encounter difficulties." Qing Ying raised the corner of her mouth firmly, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his face. "I said, don't forget there is me."

Liu also choked up, unable to string together the words completely.

"You ran out of the bookstore so recklessly, don't forget, he doesn't know anything, doesn't know that you like him, doesn't know that you cry for him, doesn't know why you ran out of the bookstore. Unless you tell him clearly. But this matter can only be said by you, no one can replace you.”

"I can't help it." Liu kept shaking his head.He was afraid... He was afraid that once he told the truth, the friendship between him and Kazuki would not be able to continue.

"No way?" Qing Ying's tone became severe. "You just shrink back from everything! Don't dare to do anything! You don't even dare to face your own love!"

Liu Ye stared at Qingying with wide eyes. From the moment he realized it, Qingying had never lost his temper so much to him.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.

After a while of ringing, the room returned to an embarrassing silence.

"Qing Ying, I'm sorry. Let's calm each other down today, you go back first." Liu also lowered his head and looked at the floor.

Qing Ying picked up her schoolbag, glanced at Liu Ye, and stepped out of the room.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door closing that Liuya stood up, went to the desk and picked up the phone.

"Missed Call [-] Hayase Kazuki"

Liu also looked at the name on the screen in a daze, and a drop of water landed on the glowing screen.

He evaded again.Whether it's Heshu or Qingying.He finally chose to escape.

♂♂♂

The morning sun was shining softly on the street, and Liu Ye walked through the alley of the bookstore with her schoolbag on her back.

The footsteps paused for a while, Liu also laughed at himself and left quickly.

"About yesterday, I'm sorry." Qing Ying took the seat in front of Ruya.

"You're right. I've avoided it long enough." Liu Ye clenched the pen tightly. "But I'm not going to confess to Kazuki yet."

Qing Ying just patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "If you think maintaining the status quo is good for you, then so be it."

For some reason, hearing this sentence, Liu was also at a loss.

"Is the status quo really good?" he asked himself in a low voice.

"what?"

"It's nothing." Liu also sighed, and his thoughts flew out of the window.

Suddenly, I really want to drink Heshu's apple tea...

After school, the sky began to thicken, followed by a downpour.

The rain at the end of winter was bitingly cold, and Liu also ran quickly with his schoolbag on his head.The rain was so heavy that he couldn't see the road clearly, so Liu quickly hid under the eaves of the shops in the alleys to avoid the rain.

He wiped the rain off his face and wrung the hem of his uniform slightly.

"Dingling──" The familiar sound of wind chimes made him startled.

Looking back, he saw him, the person he couldn't let go of.

Unknowingly, he ran to the door of the bookstore.

"And..." There seemed to be a hot thing stuck in his throat, and he couldn't call out his name.

Kazuki was wearing a uniform, wearing black work clothes, and still had that pretty smile on his face.

He put the garbage in the trash can by the door and looked up.He also saw Ruya who was drenched all over.

"Liu Ye?"

♂♂♂

"Dry your hair quickly."

Liu also silently took the towel from Heshu.

"I'll make a cup of hot tea to warm you up. It's easy to catch a cold in this weather." Kazuki patted his head and walked towards the bar.

Liu also squeezed the cloth in his hands tightly, and from his whitened fingertips, he could tell how hard he was suppressing the boiling emotions in his heart.

How warm and real the touch of the hand with the tree is.That was the feeling he repeatedly craved in his dreams.

A steaming cup of tea was placed in front of Ruya, but that wasn't what he wanted to drink.

"I want to drink apple tea..."

He Shu was slightly taken aback, but he still nodded with a smile: "Then you drink something hot first, and I'll get it right away."

Looking at the figure of Kazuki Ryo, Ruya finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

For his willfulness, Heshu has always been tolerant.

He picked up the hot tea on the table and blew it gently, the curling hot mist moistened his eyes.

At this moment, he really wanted to cry, but he was already very satisfied.Whether it was stepping into the bookstore again or seeing Kazuki again, he was really happy.

He held the porcelain cup tightly, feeling the heat of the noodles in his palm.

"Your apple tea is here." He Shu bent down and gently put the apple tea on the table.

When Liu saw the cup in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

This black mug was given by Heshu on his birthday.

And he even remembered that he had asked him to keep the mug in the store as a container for juice.

"I'll help you dry your hair." Heshu took out the hair dryer and plugged it in.

Kazuki's hands were playing with Ruya's hair, and the slightly hot wind was blowing through his hair.

A feeling of nostalgia hit my heart.

"Such a scene happened when we first met." Liu also smiled slightly.

"Yeah. You were still standing at the door dripping."

Liu also closed his eyes, feeling the familiar touch.

"He tree."

"Um?"

"I like you." Liu also said very lightly.

"What?" Kazuki turned off the hair dryer, not sure what he heard. "The hair dryer is too loud, can you say it again?"

Liu also shook his head, raised his face and smiled. "It's nothing."

Heshu smiled back at him, turned on the hair dryer and continued blowing his hair.

"Can I ask you a question?" He Shu turned off the switch and put the hair dryer into the cabinet.

"Ask." Liu Ya picked up the apple tea and sipped it happily.

"Why did you suddenly run out of the store like that that day?"

"...I was not emotionally stable that day." Liu Ye said hard.He tried to suppress the urge to lie and escape in his heart.

"I am willing to listen to what I want to say." He Shu looked at him tenderly.Sitting on the sofa across from Liuya.

Liu Ye shook his head, drinking the tea in his hand sullenly.

"Wait until you want to talk. Anyway, I'm at the bookstore, so you can find me anytime."

The store became quiet, although it was quiet, there was no embarrassing atmosphere.It's a warm, reassuring feeling.Sometimes silence is also a kind of companionship.

Liu Ye drank tea in a relaxed manner, got up and went to the bookcase to fetch a book to read at will.

Time passed slowly, and the sky was completely dark.

"Ryuya, don't you have to go home early today?" Kazuki looked at his watch.It's seven o'clock.

"My mother went out with her friends and won't be coming home today." Liu also closed the book and put it back on the shelf.

He Shu nodded and took away the empty cup on the table. "The bookstore closes at seven. Let's go together then."

He Shu locked the window of the bookstore, changed his work clothes, and carried his schoolbag.

He turned off the lights and locked the store door. "Let's go."

The two walked side by side in silence, and He Shu took the lead in breaking the somewhat suffocating atmosphere.

"Want something to eat?"

Liu also froze for a moment, then smiled. "OK."

"Small hot pot?" Liu also stared at the steaming small iron pot in front of him.

"It's very comfortable to eat something hot when the weather is cold." Kazuki poked the food in the pot with his chopsticks. "After waiting for so long, it always tastes delicious."

"Do you come here often?" Liu also turned the fire to a low fire and poured some soup into a bowl.

"I used to eat it with my friends after school, but recently the frequency has decreased. Every time I queue for a long time, I'm so hungry. So it's always delicious."

Liu also cooled the hot soup in the bowl and took a sip. "It's delicious." He said with some surprise.

This wooden building with a somewhat dilapidated appearance would never attract Ruya's interest in normal times.But what surprised him even more was that the storefront was really too small, and the location of the store could be calculated with ten fingers.And if you are not careful, you will bump into the people next to you.You can see how crowded the store is.

As soon as you step into the store in the cold winter, your whole body will be warmed up immediately.When I started eating hot pot, I started to sweat.

"It's so hot." Kazuki put the scarf in his schoolbag and wiped his sweat. "Is it delicious?"

Liu also had already put his coat on his lap, and buried his head in sweeping the food in the pot into his stomach.

"Huh──so full." Liu also walked out of the shop with a bent waist. "I'm too full."

"It's great." He Shu followed behind him with a smile. "...It's so cold!" Walking out of the warm shop, the two of them were greeted by the shivering cold night wind outside the shop.

"Go for a walk to digest and then go home." Kazuki suggested.

"Agreed..." Liu Ye covered his mouth, fearing that if he said one more word, the food would be full.

"Where do you want to go?" Heshu put on a scarf.

"go to the park."

There are very few people in the park at night, and there is no unnecessary noise.

"Are you more comfortable?"

"Hmm... hiccup!" Liu Ye blushed and quickly covered her mouth.

"You're too eager to eat." He Shu held back a smile, and patted him on the back to help him calm down.

"Don't laugh! Hiccup!" At this moment, Liu was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole.

"The whole park is filled with the sound of your hiccups." He Shu teased.

"You're so noisy." Liu Ya's face turned even redder.

Suddenly the phone rang.It is with the tree.

"I'll pick up the phone."

Liu also nodded and looked up at the sky.There are no stars today, and the night sky is filled with light clouds.

"Well, I'm with Ruya now, I'll go home later...Okay, I'll call you when I get home. Bye."

"Sister Kawashima?"

"Yeah. She's ready to go home after her self-study." He Shu put the phone back into his pocket with a smile.

Liu also put on a smile with difficulty, and jumped a few steps forward. "Then I'm going to go home."

"I'll accompany you."

"No need!" Liu Ya quickly refused to make Kazuki stunned. "...Because I have to go shopping later, so you should go home first." He quickly explained.

"In this case, I'll go home first." Kazuki stroked his hair and waved his hand.

Looking at Kazuki's leaving figure, Liu Ye turned his face away in frustration.

"I really want to tell you that I like you."

The slightly weeping voice was quietly wiped away by the night wind.

"But I can't say it." Liu Ye gently raised his hand and wiped his face, it was dry.

He smiled faintly, and wanted to cry at this moment, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

♂♂♂

Liu also returned home, looking at the darkness, he bit his lip.

He quickly turned on the lights in the hallway, the dining room, and the living room... as if doing so would warm the empty space.

Liu Ye held onto the handrail of the stairs, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.

Slender fingers tugged at his soft hair, and a mournful cry burst out of his mouth.

"Ah──"

The cry of pain gradually turned into gasping, and then crying.

The temperature of the tears was so hot that it seemed to burn the skin, and it slid down the cheeks into Liu Ye's slightly parted mouth.The tears are astringent and bitter.

Liu also grabbed the clothes on his chest, as if doing so would relieve the unbearable pain in his heart.

That pain, even parting from En is not that painful.

The pain at this moment is like digging a big hole in my heart with a knife, and the wound is slowly festering.

Whenever I am with Shu, the extravagant expectations for him in my heart will be satisfied a little bit.

But now, can't even give him such a trivial luxury?

Can this love never be passed on?

"I like you, Kazuki. Did you hear that?"

☆, final chapter

The final chapter

"I'm graduating from the third grade this year."

"Yeah, I really like the senior sisters of this year."

Liu also silently put away his schoolbag.

The third grade means that Kazuki is also graduating from Saha High School.

"Liu Ye."

"Is there something wrong?" Liu also looked up at Qingying.

"I'm really sorry for speaking so loudly last time. You know, I usually speak straight. Don't take it too seriously." Qing Ying scratched her hair apologetically. "So are you feeling better?"

"...Why do you ask like that? Of course I'm fine." Liu also raised her delicate lips, showing a smile that she thought she was very happy.

Qing Ying frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Cry if you want to cry, come on, my brother's shoulder will be yours to lean on." After finishing speaking, she patted herself on the shoulder generously.

Ruya's heart stabbed, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

"I won't cry, Qingying."

The change in Liu Ye's expression made Qingying put away her laughing expression a little annoyed.

"You're like this, so people will worry about you when they see it, okay? Every time you pretend to be strong when you don't need it, but you shrink back when you should be strong!"

"I'm really fine." Liu also couldn't help raising his voice.The eyes of those who hadn't left yet moved to the two of them curiously.

"It's okay? Then why do you still show such a hurt expression?" Qingying softened her voice and looked at Liuya seriously. "Don't be so brave. People have feelings. It doesn't mean that if you want to give up, you can put aside everything and don't think about anything. You are not a monk. How can you have the ability to clean the six senses and not care about anything?"

"...Qing Ying, the reason why I say I won't cry is because... I don't have tears anymore." Liu Ye smiled bitterly. "It's dried up."

Liu Ye's expression made Qing Ying feel sore, that expression was the sadness of losing everything and nothing left.

"I won't ask you any more questions about him." Qingying promised sincerely.

"...Thank you." Liu also smiled.That smile seemed very hollow in Qing Ying's eyes.

"Go home. I'll buy you a drink."

"Um."

♂♂♂

Liu Ye held the defrosted canned apple juice in his hand, walked to the trash can by the street, and threw the drink he had only taken a sip into.

"You can take your pick, I'm treating you today." 』Qing Ying boldly opened the refrigerator door of the convenience store.

"Then I want apple juice. 』Liu also tiptoed to take a bottle from the shelf.

"I want oolong tea.Go checkout. 』

After leaving the convenience store, Ryuya pulled the tab off the aluminum can and took a sip.

The sweet liquid slid down his esophagus, making his stomach queasy.

The taste is as sweet as water with too much sugar added that can't be completely dissolved. Maybe it's the apple tea from Heshu after drinking, so that this canned juice is no longer attractive to him.

Thinking of the [-]% original juice generously printed on the bottle, Liu couldn't help feeling ridiculous.Even though it says so, that's not the real taste of apples at all.

Liu also entered the house and put the shoes in the shoe cabinet.

"I am back."

"Ryuya, I'm sorry. I may have to trouble you for dinner today. I accidentally cut my finger when I was chopping vegetables." Mrs. Mizuki bandaged her injured finger and said apologetically.

"Is it serious?" Liu Ye hurriedly put down her schoolbag worriedly, and took her mother's hand to check.

"Don't worry, it's just a flesh wound." Mrs. Mizuki smiled and put the medicine box back to its original place.

"You go to rest first, just leave dinner to me."

Liu also rolled up the sleeves of his uniform and began to prepare food for the evening.

♂♂♂

Liu also took a shower and lay on the bed, turned off the light and looked at the night sky outside the window.

Suddenly, he sat up as if he had thought of something, turned on the computer, and typed in the place he was searching—Meteor Shower.

A lot of information about the meteor shower immediately appeared on the webpage, and he opened the latest information.

"Meteor showers have no seasons, and there are three particularly spectacular ones in a year.They are..."

Liu also immediately took out his phone and pressed a series of numbers.

"Hey, Qing Ying. Do you want to watch the meteor shower together?"

♂♂♂

"Why do you want to watch the meteor shower all of a sudden?" Qingying yawned, and the shaking of the bus deepened his drowsiness.

"I can't sleep, and there is a meteor shower today." Liu also looked out the window of the bus. "And tomorrow is a day off."

Qingying flipped her hair helplessly.

After driving for a while, the scene outside the window finally changed from high-rise buildings to low houses, and behind the low houses is the vast sea.

Liu also rang the bell, and the bus stopped at a dilapidated bus booth. The two got off and walked to the beach.

"Do you know how to get there?" Qing Ying asked after Liu Ye.

"I don't know." The unexpected answer made Qing Ying a little speechless.

"I said you..."

"Take it as an adventure, anyway, there is still some time before the meteor shower." Liu Ye looked back at Qing Ying happily.

Seeing Liu Ye's smile, Qing Ying felt relieved.Maybe... the injury is not deep, is it?

"Let's climb down from here." Liu also waved his hands in front, and slowly climbed down by himself.

It was a not-so-strong bamboo ladder, and when stepping on it, it made a horrible sound of being about to break.

"Damn, that ladder is scary."

Qingying quickly jumped off the ladder, and the soles of her feet were soft.Looking down, the white sand.

"We're here." Liu also opened his arms in front of him, enjoying the cool sea breeze in the spring night.

"It's been a long time since I graduated from junior high school." Qing Ying closed her eyes, and the sea breeze gently brushed his hair.

"This is the third time I've watched a meteor shower."

"The third time?" Qing Ying was puzzled.

"The first time, when I met Heshu, I saw it by chance. The second time, it was my birthday, and Heshu took me to the beach to see it. The third time, is now, with you."

Qingying looked at the calm sea in silence, he felt the melancholy in Liu Ye's words.

"Don't think too much. By the way, I brought some snacks. Do you want?" Qing Ying took out two pieces of bread from her bag.

Liu also reached out to take the bread and sat on the beach.

"Hey, Qingying. How can I convey my unspeakable love?" Liu also bit the bread, looking at the moonlit sea in front of him.

"Sometimes I can't say it because the timing is wrong." Qing Ying looked up at the clean night sky and said in a low voice. "Although I don't have much experience in love, I think so." He scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Liu Ye smiled, followed Qing Ying's gaze, and at the other end of his gaze was a faintly shining star.

"Even if the light of the stars is faint, they work hard to shine."

"Yes." Qing Ying couldn't help looking down at Liu Ye. "You can too."

Liu also shook, closed his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. "Yeah, I can do the same."

Indeed, even the faintest light is still light.Even the slim chance is still an opportunity.

Watching Liu Ye lay down, Qing Ying also slowly lay flat on the rarely clean beach.

The night sky above the head seemed to be as close as the tip of the nose, and the sky was filled with countless stars.It is a miracle to be able to see this kind of scene now. Living in the city, it is difficult to even find a moon. There is light pollution everywhere. Even some seaside and mountainous areas have installed street lights for safety reasons.But because of safety, they lost the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scene at night.

It was a matter of an instant, a lot, no!It is the entire endless night sky, and stars glide quickly across the sky.Like "everything that slides will leave traces", all meteors that slip past have a fluorescent afterglow behind them.

This feeling is like watching a shooting star movie, the beauty is illusory.The beauty is unbelievable.

"It's beautiful." Liu also said softly.

"Um."

"It's really beautiful..." Liu also took out his phone, pointed the camera at the starry sky, and quietly captured the beauty in front of him.I don't know if Kazuki was also watching the same meteor shower at a certain beach.

"Yesterday, I actually slept on the beach like this." Liu Ye and Qing Ying got on the first bus, ready to go home.

And when she woke up in the morning, Qing Ying was still sleeping, let alone sleeping, there was a puddle of unknown puddle beside her slightly opened mouth.

"But I've never slept on the beach before, so I'm not used to it." Qing Ying patted the sand left on her coat.

Liu couldn't help laughing.If you're not used to sleeping like this, if you get used to it, wouldn't you roll over the whole beach?And if you slap the sand on the ground like this, the uncle driver will be very troubled later.

"I invite you to have breakfast. I'm thanking you for taking me to see the meteor." Qing Ying said with a smile.

♂♂♂

"That's it, break." Liu Ye waved goodbye to Qing Yingying, and immediately walked on the way home.

After entering the house, Liu Ye went back to the room lightly, afraid of waking up her sleeping mother.

He changed out of his dirty clothes, and threw himself into the arms of the bed after taking a shower.

Liu also turned on the phone and sent the video recorded last night to He Shu.

"The meteor shower I went to see with Qing Ying yesterday, it was beautiful. 』

"That's great. The bookstore bought new books yesterday. I was busy until late, so I didn't have time at all. 』

"Let's watch together next time :)"

"Okay, it's a deal. 』

Seeing this sentence, Liu couldn't help showing a sweet smile.

It's been a long time, and I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time.For a long time, the ship in his heart has been stranded on the rocks of sadness and despair, but now, he can finally leave.

As soon as Ruuya relaxed, sleepiness began to invade him.He shrank back, his consciousness gradually hazy...

♂♂♂

"I didn't expect that we would be promoted to the third grade so soon." Qing Ying yawned with a tired look on her face.

"Yes." Liu also looked at the senior sisters on the stage who were receiving their diplomas.

Kazuki is also preparing to leave high school life at this time.

After finishing the graduation ceremony of the cold wind, Ruya picked up her schoolbag and rushed to the school gate immediately.As soon as he left school, he quickly ran to Sayu High School.

Sweat kept dripping, blurring his vision. He wiped off the sweat, not caring about the harshness of the sun in June, only worried that Heshu would not be able to leave the school in time.

Ryuya gasped and stopped at the gate of Sawa High School. There were only a few students with graduate corsages left at the gate, but there was no sign of Kazuki.

Liu also closed his eyes, panting hard with his hands on his knees.

Missed it?

Unwilling to give up, he turned back the same way and ran towards the bookstore.

When Liuya stopped again, he took a big breath and felt dizzy for a while.Liu also adjusted the disordered breath, took out the gift to be given from the schoolbag, pushed open the door of the bookstore with a smile on his face, and the familiar wind chime sounded——

"Welcome." The unfamiliar female voice surprised Liu Ye.

"Please, may I ask... is Hayase Kazuki there?"

"Hayase Kazuki? Do you mean the former work-study student?" Kanliu nodded vigorously, and she told him, "He stopped working the day before graduation."

Liu Ye heard this and tightened his fingers.

"...Thank you." Liu Ye reluctantly smiled at the working-study girl, and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he looked around the bookstore again, and suddenly felt that this place was no longer a place he was familiar with, but an environment that made him feel very strange.

Originally, I wanted to give Kazuki a surprise, but now it seems that there is no way.

He nervously pressed the dial button on his mobile phone. This was the first time he called He Shu. The usual contact was almost at the bookstore, and the next time he used text messages.

"There is no response to the number you dialed, please try again later..." The voice of the machine tablet made Liu Ye let go of his nervousness and closed the phone.

At this time, Liu also realized that he knew very little about Heshu, except for the bookstore and his mobile phone number, he didn't know anything else.

Liu also cheered himself up and planned to make another phone call at night.

Suddenly, he felt that the weight of the schoolbag seemed to become so heavy that his shoulders ached.

He took out the gift wrapped carefully in wrapping paper, it was a rectangular object, judging from the packaging, it might be a picture frame or a picture or something.

Suddenly the phone rang, and he picked it up, and it was Heshu's voice.

"Sorry sorry, I didn't hear the bell just now."

"it's okay."

"Hey, stop making trouble, I'm talking on the phone." There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone.

"Excuse me, what do you want from me?" He Shu seemed to find a quiet place, and the noise at the side became a little distant.

"Will you be free tonight?"

"Maybe not tonight, there is a dinner party in class." Kazuki said shyly.

"Actually, it's nothing important, I just want to give you a graduation gift." Liu also tried hard not to tremble in his voice.

"Is that so..." Kazuki's voice seemed to be thinking about something.

"Then you put it in the bookstore first, and I will pick it up when I have time."

"...Okay, that's it."

"Then I'll hang up first."

"and many more!"

"Is there anything else?" Kazuki asked suspiciously.

"Why didn't you tell me that you are no longer working in the bookstore?" Liu Ye clenched the phone tightly, and the machine made a painful sound.

"Because I've been busy with graduation these days, I forgot to tell you. I'm really sorry."

Perhaps hearing the accusation in Ruya's words, Kazuki hurriedly explained.

"...Then I'll leave the things in the bookstore, you can get them later." Liu also suppressed the sourness in his throat.

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said, "Well, thank you in advance, Luo."

"Bye bye."

"goodbye."

Liu also closed the phone.There was a bitter smile on his lips.

He walked to the bookstore again,
