Chapter 18
"What's your relationship with Aichi?"
When Emi asked those words, her heart was pounding.
She wanted to know the answer that came out of the other party's mouth, but she didn't want to know.This is a very contradictory thought, just as she struggled for nearly an hour before whether to ask this sentence out of her mouth.
I want to ask, but I don't want to ask.
After sleeping all night in the apartment in Aichi, the brother and sister stayed in bed together in the morning, and almost missed the meeting at the hotel where they stayed at eight o'clock.Hurrying and hurrying back to the hotel in time, Emi breathed a sigh of relief, and then Aichi yelled that she was going to be late and didn't have time to give a word, so she hurried back to catch the tram.
Seeing Aichi's hurried back, Huimei burst into a smile, Aichi was still as clumsy as before, and took good care of her as before.
Obviously it was enough to tell him to send her to the tram, but the other party still insisted on sending her back to the hotel, and he was relieved to see that she was accepted by the Xincheng Railway teacher.
I came here in the middle of the night to help me cover myself with the quilt, even though I was going to be late this morning, I didn’t forget to warm up the breakfast I prepared in advance last night for her, the newly bought slippers, and the green tea of her favorite brand in the refrigerator, all these small things made me feel uncomfortable. Huimei felt her brother's love for her.
Although I always say that he can't take care of himself, there are still many things Aichi can do.
After sighing for a while, I heard Mr. Tie announce that they have found their own team members, and they can move freely after reporting.So Emi went to find her own group.
I came to the planned place with my teammates, walked around, and inadvertently visited all the places that I mentioned after dinner last night.Finally, they came to a nearby university.
This is a famous university, and many of them are full of longing for it. Now that they have come to the door, how can they not go in and have a look.
So, just by chance, Huimei met Kai under the boulevard of the university.Of course, Kai is not alone, he has his friend Sanwa by his side.
The two sides briefly introduced the situation, and Sanwa held his chin and looked at Emi with great interest, and said with a smile: "So she is Aichi's younger sister, she is as cute as Aichi - of course, the other girls are also cute. "
Of course, Emi had heard about this cheerful senior from Aichi, and immediately greeted him politely, and Sanhe couldn't get enough of the senior call.
Surrounded by a group of juniors called seniors, Sanhe was elated, and immediately decided to take the lovely juniors for a stroll around the school.And Kai said that he was going to the library, so he would not accompany him.
Hearing this, Huimei quickly expressed that she also wanted to go to the legendary largest university library in the country to take a look.Kai looked at her for two seconds, nodded and agreed to take Huimei with him.
So things turned into Kai taking Emi to the library, and Sanhe taking other people to go to other places - anyway, they all have mobile phones, so just make a call when it's over.
So after staying in the library for an hour, Huimei still couldn't hold back her inner curiosity and asked her own question.
Kai was looking for books by the bookshelf, when he heard Huimei's words, his movements paused, and then his slender fingers continued to search on the bookshelf.
"Didn't Aichi tell you?" He asked back.
"Yes." Huimei replied, "He said you are friends, but...but, I always feel that it's more than that..."
After saying this, Hui Mei was silent for a few seconds, looked up at him with firm eyes: "I want to know the real situation, please tell me the truth."
Kai stuffed back the book he had drawn out, turned around and looked at Emi, he saw the firmness in the girl's eyes.So he replied: "Aichi and I are lovers."
His answer was equally firm.
After getting the expected answer, Huimei's performance was much calmer than expected.
After what happened last night, Emi began to face up to the relationship between Aichi and Kai.She carefully observed the interaction between the two, and then discovered something she had taken for granted.The look in Aichi's eyes when he mentioned Kai was not just admiration, but also admiration.
The moment she realized it, she understood everything.
The intimate interaction and the ambiguous atmosphere all show that they are not friends, but a relationship far closer than friends.
Now, after hearing Kai's personal confirmation, they are lovers.
She moved her hand to her chest, her heart was beating a little faster, so she took a deep breath.She raised her head and looked directly at the other party, and Kai also looked at her, but didn't make a sound, just waiting for her to speak.
"Do you like Aichi?" Emi asked this question as if mustering up her courage.
Kai nodded.
"Then, what do you like about Aichi?"
Aichi watched the bus carrying his younger sister start, and drove away, gradually drifting away, and then left with peace of mind.
He walked in the direction of the station while thinking about what Emi had said to him before getting on the train.
Aichi is Aichi, because it is Aichi, so I like you.
Emi told him this before getting into the car.Aichi Fue, what is this? My sister suddenly confessed to her brother and said such embarrassing things. Why?
Aichi couldn't figure it out.
But speaking of it, after returning from sightseeing yesterday, Huimei was a little weird, she looked at him with evasive eyes, and when she talked to him, she was a bit out of line.But what's even more strange is that when he went to pick Huimei up, she was with Kai-kun.It is said that they met by chance during the day.So, is something going on between them?
He was very concerned about what Emi said, so he thought about the meaning of this sentence along the way, and Aichi returned to the apartment.
He was so focused on thinking that he was patted on the shoulder before he realized it. He turned around and saw Zhao Zheng looking at him with a slight frown.He hurriedly said hello: "Ah, it's Mr. Zhao, you came back early today too."
"En." Kai responded, and they had already arrived in front of the elevator, so he pressed the button. "Emi went back?"
"um, yes."
The elevator door opened and the two walked in.
"Do you care about Emi?" Aichi suddenly asked.
Rao was also a little surprised to hear this.He shook his head: "No, why do you ask that?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Huimei said some strange things to me before leaving, I wonder if you guys said something yesterday." Aichi said his thoughts.
"What did she say to you?"
Aichi told the truth.
Zhao pondered for a moment, then spoke after a while: "She was aware of our relationship, so she asked me to confirm it yesterday."
"She also asked me what I like about you."
When Aichi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.He also wants to know what Kai-kun likes about him.Even though they confessed to each other, even though they are dating like ordinary lovers, they still don't know what the other party likes about him.
So, he asked, "Can you tell me, Mr. Kai's answer. Mr. Kai, what do you like about me?"
The elevator arrived at the designated floor, the door opened, and Zhao stepped out first, then looked at him slightly sideways, signaling him to follow with his eyes.
Following him back to his apartment, he asked him to wait outside while he entered the room, and came out again after a while.
Kai handed him something like a card, Aichi took it and looked at it, his heart trembled.
It was a library card, and his name was registered on it, Naruto Aichi.
"Kai-kun, what is this?" Although he knew what it was, Aichi couldn't help asking.He remembered this library card, which belonged to him when he was in junior high school, but then he lost it accidentally.I didn't expect to see it again after so many years.
"Don't you remember me?"
Kai didn't answer, but asked him an inexplicable question.
Aichi looked at him, not knowing why.
"My summer vacation in the third year of junior high school was spent in the municipal library. There, there was a pair of brothers and sisters who also went to the library every day. They liked reading very much, and they always sat on the left side of me and read books intently. "
Listening to Kai's narration of the past, memories flooded up in his mind, and Aichi suddenly felt that the person in front of him overlapped with someone in his memory.
It was his summer vacation in the second year of junior high school, and the hot weather made people restless.Unable to stand the noisy cicadas outside the window, Aichi took his younger sister Huimei to hide in the library, blowing the slight air-conditioning, holding borrowed books, swimming in novel stories one after another to get through this difficult time time.He and Huimei always came early, looking for a quiet place to sit, and after reading books all day, the brother and sister held hands, ate cold popsicles, and walked home together in the afterglow of the setting sun.
And no matter how early they came, they would see a boy sitting there earlier than them.That young man has always been alone and looks lonely, but the strange thing is that he doesn't feel lonely.He was very quiet, and when he sat there, he seemed to be sitting still and did not speak.Sometimes Aichi is very curious about him, so when turning the pages of the book, he takes the opportunity to look at him, and then continues to look down at the book.
The only communication between them was when Huimei accidentally bumped into him. Aichi quickly stepped forward to apologize, and got a cold "it's okay" from the other party. Aichi led Huimei back to his seat awkwardly, and then peeked at him from time to time.Seeing that the other party's face was normal, he gradually let go of his heart.
The next day, Emi was sick, and Aichi didn't go to the library in order to take care of her.After three days in a row, Huimei recovered from her illness on the fourth day. The siblings came to the library again, but they never saw the boy again.
And his library card, I don't know when it was lost.After Huimei said "really careless", Aichi reissued a library card.
Then, the rest of the summer was spent in the library.
Just him and Emi.
"You are... the one sitting next to you!"
That person's face and Kai's face finally merged together. Although the person in memory was a little immature, there was no doubt that they were the same person.
Kai nodded.
He said: "Your library card dropped at my feet, and you had left when I found out. I wanted to give it to you the next day, but you didn't come. Later, for some reasons, I left that City. There is no chance to return the library card to you."
After Kai finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Aichi lowered his head and looked at the library card in his hand. Although there were only simple patterns and characters on the library card, he looked at it intently as if he was reading.After a long time, he raised his head, with bright lights in his eyes, and smiled at Zhao.
"Thank you, Kai-kun."
He kept staring at that young man, who was so absorbed in the ocean of literature that he had no time to care about anything else.Sunlight poured in through the glass window and shone on the boy's body, the brown hair was covered with a layer of gold.In the eyes of Aichi when he was young, the other party was shining brightly, so dazzling that it dazzled him.
He really wanted to talk to that boy, and sometimes he wanted to ask him what he was reading, but he was always timid and didn't dare to take the first step, so he had to look away regretfully.
Later, Aichi regretted not seeing that boy in the library again.He blamed himself for being too cowardly, for letting opportunities pass again and again, and in the end he never had a chance to say what he wanted to say to the other party.
But now, that teenager appeared in front of him again, and became a neighbor, friend, and even lover with him.In addition to surprise, there is also a kind of emotion called touching lingering in my heart.
I can't tell why, maybe it's because the original fate started when they didn't know each other.
TBC.
