Dream or truth...

Chapter 16

Chapter No.16

The next day, Junko really disappeared from their lives, and Ryosuke really never paid attention to Yuxiang again.

Even in the time when Yu Xiang was the coldest to him, Ryosuke would secretly look at him when the other party was not paying attention.But now, he is quite calm, just doing his own thing, laughing and playing with other people, but always deliberately avoiding contact with Yuxiang, even if he accidentally meets the other's eyes, he will act as if nothing happened move away.

No one except Arioka knew what happened between these two people, but even he didn't know why Ryosuke suddenly made such a decisive decision.

He knew that Ryosuke used to love Yuxiang very much, and this child could bear that kind of harm for Yuxiang. To put it a bit cliche, Ryosuke Yamada could die for Yuxiang Nakajima.

But one day Ryosuke suddenly said that he couldn't wait any longer and he was going to give up.On the contrary, Yuxiang began to watch Ryosuke carefully, as if trying to save him.

The exact opposite of the previous situation.

As soon as the morning class was over, Yuxiang went somewhere, Ryosuke smiled mockingly in his heart, but he couldn't bear it all morning, do you want to give up?

How many sunrises and sunsets did I wait for at the beginning, and I waited until my heart was broken in exchange for his turning around?

I don't want to calculate anymore.

Yuxiang Nakajima, the liking in your mouth is only to this extent.

So I took my bento and went to the rooftop alone, and stared at the sky in a daze when I was halfway through eating without a bite.

From entering high school to before that quarrel, I always had lunch with Yuxiang...

Suddenly I really want to drink the strawberry juice from the canteen. When they were big relatives and friends, when Yuxiang didn’t have a girlfriend, and before he confessed to Yuxiang, Yuxiang would prepare it for him at noon every day. .

But since the confession, I have never drank again.

Shouldn't you drink it again?I have a constitution that is prone to sweating, so I really don't want to be crowded with the crowd in the canteen.

But I really miss that taste.

When I was thinking like this, something that I had been thinking about just now suddenly appeared in front of my eyes: "What are you thinking about? So absorbed, I didn't even eat."

It's Arioka.

Casually stuffing strawberry juice into Ryosuke's arms, Arioka sat down next to Ryosuke: "Yama-chan, if it's really that painful, how about dating me? I promise I will love you very much~"

"Okay~ If you're not afraid of being killed by Hui-chan~"

"Uh?!"

Ryosuke answered without any hesitation, and smiled happily when seeing Arioka's embarrassed look, AKUMA's character was fully revealed.

"I finally smiled~ It's been a long time since I saw you smile, Yama-chan."

Hearing this sentence, Ryosuke's smile suddenly froze, and then he continued to look at the sky without speaking, unconsciously playing with the box of strawberry juice in his hand, and suddenly asked: "Da ちゃん, who bought this?"

"I was noticed right away... That person, he rushed to the canteen to grab it after class~ This brand is very popular, if you wait later, you won't be able to buy it."

"……Fool."

"Shan ちゃん, I'm not trying to persuade you to forgive him, I just want to know, you like him so much, why did you refuse so simply when he finally turned around?"

Just now I was stopped by Yu Xiang, listening to him tell everything about that night.

It is impossible to be forgiven at all, all the distrust and hurt accumulated to the end, and that action finally became the last straw, making Ryosuke give up all the hopes he once yearned for.

It's not that I don't want to repair Yuxiang severely, but the proud boy in the past begged him with lonely eyes: "Shan-chan may never forgive me... So, Da-chan, please help me take care of him, please... "

After all, my heart softened, after all, Yu Xiang was just a child at that time.I don't know what love is, and I'm afraid of taboo feelings, so I want to escape and don't want to face it. There are too many coincidences and misunderstandings in the middle, which eventually caused irreparable damage.

Ryosuke looked at the juice in his hand and was silent for a while, then replied: "Because I'm scared... I'm afraid he's just a whim, I'm afraid he will give up on me again at some unknown moment, I'm afraid it's just another injury The beginning, if it happens again, I... will definitely collapse completely."

Because of the fear of harm, I simply refused.

And at the same time deny possible happiness.

But how could it be said that he was wrong?

After all, this child was hurt so deeply.

"……yes……"

But if he didn't dare to take that step, it might be a regret in his life.

"Dai-chan, this is for you, I'm going back to the classroom." Throwing the juice back to Arioka, Ryosuke walked straight down the roof.Perhaps because he walked a little slowly, he didn't see the end of the stairs, and a familiar figure flashed by.

Hearing Ryosuke rejected the juice, Yuxiang could only lean against the wall in the stairwell in silence.

Sure enough, it can't be forgiven, right?It's just that she didn't expect Ryosuke to be so resistant, so resistant that she was no longer willing to accept anything about herself.

Yuxiang fled in a hurry when he heard Ryosuke say he was going back to the classroom.Because I understand the current Ryosuke, I definitely don't want to see myself.

So I also missed the melody that Ryosuke hummed.

"I loved you with afired. Now it's turning blue, and you say... "Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you. But I'mafraid...It'stoolate to apologize, it'stoolate."

When alone, Ryosuke hummed this song softly, which I heard from Keito that day, and after understanding the meaning, I suddenly felt very fond of it.

Yu Xiang's apology, after all, is too late.

It's tooled to apologize...
