The tram passed two more stops, and Zong Gu supported his slightly sore legs and walked out of the carriage.
When I walked out of the station, I couldn't see anyone outside, and it was deserted.
The bright convenience store is visible from afar, with only a young female clerk yawning inside.
After late at night, the temperature dropped a little, but it was still a little stuffy. He thought about it and turned around and walked towards the convenience store.
“Welcome to…”
Zong Gu's arrival made the female clerk feel excited, but it didn't last long because he quickly finished buying things and left.
"Please go slowly..."
Looking at his back, the female clerk yawned again.
"Did you buy two ice creams for your girlfriend?... It's great. After eating ice cream, you will definitely give it a shot. I also want to make it with such a handsome guy..."
Zong Gu, who had already walked away, didn't know her delusions, but knew that the temperature outside would soon melt the ice cream.
Carrying a convenience bag, he speeded up and returned to the old house of Kirino without long.
“…”
When I walked to the living room, the lights were turned off, and only the TV screen was flashing.
As it flickered, Akane Kirino and Hongko squeezed together, widened their eyes and looked at him at the door.
Pick.
Zong Gu turned on the light.
"ah!"
“It’s too bright—”
The two of them covered their eyes, and Akane Kirino didn't forget to touch the remote control and pressed pause.
"Who asked you to turn off the lights and watch movies...it hurts your eyes."
"It's time to turn off the lights and get an atmosphere."
The tense nerves were relaxed, and the two girls lay down again.
“…it’s actually a horror movie.”
Looking at the strange scene on the screen, Zong Gu walked to the two of them and looked down at Hongzi who was rubbing his eyes.
"Why are you still here? It's so late."
“…”
She put down her hand and before she could speak, she brought it to her face with two convenience bags of ice cream.
“Hey…thank you.”
Hongzi sat up and took out the ice cream, "Ah, it's almost melted!"
"Yes." Soya looked aside, looking a little annoyed, "So hurry up and eat... don't get it on the tatami."
After dividing the other branch to Akane Kirino, the two of them carefully licked the ice cream that was about to melt.
"Is the shrine very busy?" Hongko looked at him, "Soya rushed over in the morning, and it's past ten o'clock now."
"Um……"
After looking at her thighs, Zong Gu raised his gaze again, "Di Zhenji, have Hongzi seen it?"
"No...but I know."
"I know too." Akane Kirino said, "It is the ceremony to be held before the construction of the house starts. I invite the priests to recite scriptures from the shrine."
"Reciting scriptures...is about the same."
Sonoya looked at the TV screen, "This is what I'm busy with today."
If they knew that he had also gone to Kyoto to attend the Xiaoshan Festival, there would definitely be a lot of trouble, so he chose to hide it.
"Hey? What can Zonggu do with...become a priest?"
"yes."
“It’s amazing…”
“It’s very hot too.”
After chatting for a few more words, Akane Kirino had finished eating ice cream and was about to finish watching the second half of the movie.
Holding her knees, Soya stood up, "I'll go take a shower..."
Hongzi grabbed him.
"Wait a moment!"
“…”
He glanced at the cone with half of her hands, "What are you doing?"
"Send me back first..."
Zong Gu looked at the horror movie that was paused on the TV screen again, and immediately realized it.
No wonder I didn't go back so late, it turned out to be scared.
"I'm very tired and can't walk anymore. You can't stay here today."
"no……"
Hongzi shook her head, "I haven't taken a shower yet, nor have I brought my clothes to change. I haven't picked up the clothes I have to wear when I go to Kyoto tomorrow... I have to go home."
"You're in trouble."
"I'm so troubled, I'll send me back."
“…”
After saying this, Zong Gu agreed.
"Can you say it again?"
"...You can stop me with a little bit."
It took only a few minutes to go back and forth, and he was going to take a good bath after he came back.
"Soya will be scared when she comes back alone." Akane Kirino put down the remote control, "I'll be with you."
“…”
Who is alone will be scared?
Zong Gu shook his head and did not expose her, "Well, let's go together."
Akane Kirino immediately stood up, "I'll go change my shoes!"
Watching her leave the living room, Hongzi looked at Zong Gu again.
"It's not that Zong Gu hasn't come back all day to hide from me, right?"
“…”
He glanced at her and thoughtfully, "Well...is there any such way?"
Hongzi pushed him and smiled again.
Zong Gu turned around and said, "Let's go."
She followed up, "Did you think I've already gone home before Zong Gu came back?"
"It should be said that I don't even know Hongzi is here."
“So I only bought two ice creams.”
"Well, you remember to pay it back to me tomorrow."
Hongzi speeded up and raised half of the cone in her hand, "There is still a little left here."
Zong Gu glanced at him and she had eaten the most essence of the ice cream.
"Kuno is already waiting."
"……snort."
After eating the cone in a few bites, she followed him to the entrance and changed his shoes and went out.
The street lights at the entrance of the yard were limited in scope. Walking into the darkness, Akane Kirino and Hongko hugged one arm, conveying the tension and softness.
Walking in the middle by "hijacked", Zong Gu looked at the next street light not far ahead, "Since you are so scared, why do you still watch horror movies at night?"
"It's because I feel scared that I can see it." Akane Kirino said.
"Seeking excitement?"
“That’s right…”
So they not only have to watch horror movies, but also turn off the lights.
Walking to a bright intersection, turning around, in the straight alley, the next street light is still a few hundred meters away.
The three of them continued to move forward and walked into the darkness again.
The left arm was slightly loosened.
“…”
One of the palms groped down and squeezed into his palm.
Zong Gu turned his head and looked at her. He couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, and could only see a hazy shadow.
"ha……"
Her breathing also became a little more rapid, although she soon noticed it herself and restrained it.
With the palm of her hand in place, she hugged his arm and leaned her head up.
"Aren't Soya afraid?" Akane Kirino on the other side suddenly spoke.
“…”
Zong Gu obviously felt Hongzi trembling.
"Of course I'll be scared. I'll be trembling with fear."
She gently pinched the back of his hand and stroked it again.
"Hey...I don't believe it."
Zong Gu looked ahead and said after a while: "The 'visible' people are basically not afraid of ghosts."
"I've only been 'seen' recently."
"Get used to it slowly."
"Oh, my nature is hard to change."
“…”
As he approached the light, Hongzi let him go as if nothing had happened until he was immersed in the darkness again.
After turning two more turns and walking out of the path, there is a street light at the alley where the Yoshikawa family is located at every distance, which is much brighter.
After sending Hongzi to the door of her house, she quickly shook her hand again before letting go of his hand, and then looked at Akane Kirino who was unaware of it.
"See you tomorrow."
"Yeah, good night~"
......
Back at the old house of Kirino, Soya went to take a shower.
But Akane Kirino kept talking to him outside, and he didn't get enough time to soak and then came out.
Sitting in the living room for a while, drying his hair, he got up and went upstairs, and Akane Kirino immediately followed.
“Hey…”
Passing by, Zong Gu pointed to the innermost room, "I'll go see the confinement period."
"I'll come too."
There was no light on in the room, only the computer screen was lighted, shining on the ghost-like beauty at the computer desk, just like the living room when he first returned home.
Wearing headphones, Yuedu focuses on the ongoing games.
Soya made light steps, and so did Akane Kirino. Just as he got closer, he noticed it and quickly looked back.
“…”
Looking at the two expressionless humans reflected by the glimmer of light, Yue Du was not scared at all, but was very surprised.
He took off his headphones and said, "What are you doing?"
Soya ignored him and looked at Akane Kirino next to him, "He felt you."
"Hehe...I forgot."
The two of them didn't stay for a long time and turned around and left.
“…”
The moon reading became more and more confused.
Turning back, the screen is black and white.
“Ahhhh…”
The night is already very deep.
Soya and Akane Kirino said good night to each other and returned to their respective rooms.
"Do you have to go to Kyoto again tomorrow..."
Lying into the quilt, sleepiness quickly came. A second before closing his eyes completely, Zong Gu saw the ceiling light up.
“…”
It is the light of the mobile phone screen.
As soon as the thought arose, a continuous vibration came.
“…”
Call late at night.
Is the beginning of some kind of horror movie?
Touching his phone, Zong Gu squinted his eyes and looked at the screen, closed it again, and took a deep breath.
"What's wrong, Kirino."
"Zonggu, are you asleep..."
"If there was no such phone call."
Holding his cell phone, Akane Kirino held a pillow in her arms.
