When Asukiri returned to the downstairs, Soya realized that she was going upstairs to take care of Akane Kirino - although she was just watching.
Akane Kirino lies for a long time, and after waking up, her stomach no longer makes a fuss, so she goes downstairs with her.
"Songya!......Eh?"
She quickly walked to the side of the wild side, looked at Hongzi, who was lying on the floor and covering her face with a towel, and then looked at Zonggu: "What's wrong with Hongzi?"
"Nothing. It's just too hot, use a wet towel to dissipate the heat."
"Is that true?" Akane Kirino didn't doubt it, but was very concerned about the way she dissipated the heat. "But this look is not very auspicious, it's like death..."
"—It would be even more unlucky to say it." Soya interrupted her.
"It's okay." Hongzi also raised her hand and said in a muffled voice: "But Akane wants to pay attention to me... You can't let grandma see it, as it will scare her."
"Ha ha."
Akane Kirino looked back at the living room door, sat down again, "Okay."
Hongzi said only one sentence, and Soya spoke, attracting Akane Kirino's attention: "Doesn't your stomach hurt anymore?"
"I don't feel anything anymore." She nodded and said again: "Actually, I fell asleep quickly and only hurt for a while."
"You can still sleep in that situation."
"Because I could only lie down, I fell asleep soon."
Akane Kirino couldn't help but look at the towel on Hongzi's face, and always wanted to do something.
"How long has it been like this? Do you need to change a towel? It's no longer cold, right?"
Hongzi shook her head slightly, "It's okay..."
Zong Gu looked at her, "Can you eat watermelon now?"
Akane Kirino was stunned, "Yes."
"Then you go to the kitchen to cut a few pieces of watermelon and eat together."
"Okay~" She got up and went to the kitchen.
Then Zong Gu lifted the towel on Hongzi's face and looked at her a few times: "Don't worry, it's not that obvious."
Although the corners of the eyes are still moist, the eyes are still a little red.
Hongzi sat up, looked at him, and then calmly took back the towel.
"I'll go and wash."
She left the living room, and less than half a minute, Akane Kirino came over with a few slices of watermelon.
"Hey, where is Hongzi?"
"I've gone to wash the towel."
"I said it's time to change it."
The three of them were eating the watermelon. After a while, Hongzi returned to the low table and sat down, picked up the watermelon and took a big bite.
Her face and hairline were a little wet, and she seemed to have washed her face.
Akane Kirino looked at her and suddenly leaned closer, "Hongko, your eyes..."
"It's a little red, right? The towel just now didn't seem to be very clean, and my eyes felt a little itchy."
Zong Gu spit out a watermelon seed, "I wiped my sweat with that towel."
Hongzi lowered her head and chewed the watermelon, but didn't look at him, "My eyesight is not very good. If you are blind, you will support me for the rest of your life."
"Then I will go back to the Northeast with Ling."
“…”
She still couldn't help but glared at him.
"Don't worry." Akane Kirino looked at her with a smile, "If you really can't see it, Sogo and I will take care of Hongzi's second half of our lives."
"No...I still want light more than being taken care of..."
This incident was revealed in a joke.
Although I will go home tomorrow, there will be no other arrangements for the rest of the afternoon.
Perhaps she finally realized that the fun was hard to find, Akane Kirino stayed at home honestly until the sky gradually became dark and the sun set.
After nightfall, the moon quickly rises, dotting the clear night sky.
The moonlight is as thin as a veil, falling down without realizing it, with a faint coolness.
After dinner, Zong Gu helped clean up the mess like noon. His grandmother didn't mention the topic of noon and talked about other life topics with him without saying a word.
After washing the dishes, I returned to the living room. Akane Kirino who was sitting on the edge had been waiting for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work~ Zonggu, let's go out for a walk."
"Now?"
"Well, I just took a shower when I came back."
"All right."
He said hello to his grandmother and the four of them went out together.
Without a flashlight, the moon is the biggest street light, which makes the cement road white.
“It’s so quiet in the countryside.”
Akane Kirino looked up at the starry night sky, "There is no light, and the stars in the sky are clearer than in the city."
She paused, "It's just a little quieter. But I still understand the principle of 'fish and bear's paws'. The turbid night sky is the price for the advancement of human civilization."
Soya turned his head and looked at her, "Teacher Kirino is deeply touched today."
"Ha ha."
Akane Kirino smiled, opened her arms again, and while moving forward, she deeply hugged the Milky Way and the Starry Sky that seemed to be pouring down.
The moonlight is cold and the stars are silent, and the sky at night is even more quiet and vast.
Without warning, a huge melancholy fell from the sky, smashing her to pieces, and followed by a stronger resentment.
"Why can't I fly?"
She questioned the stars staring silently in the sky.
"Six million years, what a long history, why did humans just go from crawling to walking upright?"
"Why haven't my wings evolved yet?"
"If humans really evolved from apes, why did my tail degenerate? It would be fine if I didn't give me wings, at least I had to return the tail to me."
“…”
Although she had long been used to her crazy words, Zong Gu couldn't help but say: "What do you want to do for your tail?"
"Pinch and play."
“…”
Akane Kirino continued: "Don't Soya think it's more convenient to have one more tail?
Things that cannot be held with both hands can be rolled up with their tails; when climbing trees, they can also be hung on branches; if humans grow their tails again, the way of socializing will also change. In addition to shaking hands, they can also be entangled with each other.
Tail!"
"...You really think of yourself as a monkey."
"It's not the tail of a monkey, it's the tail of a human!" she stressed.
The moonlight shone white on the road and there was no one to see anyone in front and behind. Zong Gu joined in as she talked nonsense: "I think it's a little more trouble."
"What trouble?"
"The most direct point is that you can achieve the tails you just asked for, at least you can't hide them in your clothes."
Akane Kirino looked at him, "Why should she hide it? Her tail was originally about to be exposed."
"Then you have to open a hole behind all your pants, specifically for tails... so are pants."
“…”
Hongzi next to him glanced at him, "It feels a bit dirty..."
Akane Kirino was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's nothing to do. In order to accommodate limbs and heads, there are already so many holes in the clothes, so it doesn't matter if there is one more."
"I find it very troublesome."
Zong Gu shook his head, "Don't you think wearing pants is more troublesome than wearing skirts? You have to stuff an extra tail now."
“…”
Because of an extra dressing step, Akane Kirino's interest in tail suddenly decreased a lot.
She pushed all the blame to Zong Gu who pointed out this, "Hongzi, look, Zong Gu is the kind of person who destroys other people's dreams."
Zong Gu glanced at her, "I don't know when the long tail will come out and become your dream."
Hongzi smiled, "I also think it's quite strange to suddenly grow a tail... But there are indeed some people who like the existence of tail, although it's completely different from the kind of tail that Akane wants."
"Yeah?"
Akane Kirino became interested, "What kind of tail is that?"
"Decoration...? It's quite common on y. Don't there often be cute girls with tails in animations? They will restore this when y." Hongzi regretted talking more.
.
"I've never seen such a y..."
Akane Kirino took out her phone and searched, her eyes stayed on a certain picture, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Wow... This fox's tail is like it grew out of itself. How do you fix it? Glue?"
“…”
Hongzi looked at Zong Gu, and he looked at him without seeing him.
She had to explain herself - it was strange to ask him to explain.
"Just stuff in..."
She leaned into Kirino Akane's ear and told her the way she fixed her tail.
"Wow, won't it hurt like this?"
"Probably...just get used to it..."
"Hey, do you still have to get used to this kind of thing?"
“…”
Hongko couldn't continue to say anything. Fortunately, Akane Kirino was quite resistant to this seemingly painful method. Without the desire to understand in depth, the topic of Tail was left alone.
After strolling for a while, Sonoya stopped.
"Go back."
Before they knew it, they had already reached the westmost point of the village, and they could only see the fields further forward.
"Um."
After turning back the same road, Akane Kirino suggested walking to the bridge before going back.
But when she arrived at the bridge and looked at the stream under the moonlight, she changed her mind and wanted to go to the water to play for a while.
When he went down to the shadowy platform by the water, insects kept chirping around and the stream rustled. Akane Kiriya dared to walk into the water because of the large number of people, but after a while he threw his fear of darkness behind his head.
Looking back at Zong Gu who was still standing on the shore, she was a little conflicted.
She wanted him to avoid and do something bolder - to take off all and bathe in the stream under the moon;
But he is here to be the source of all her sense of security.
"Zonggu, can you blindfold your eyes?"
"What do you want to do?"
“Celestial Bath.”
“…”
Zong Gu shook his head, "Restrain your wildness and go back to the celestial bath in the bathroom."
"That's what a celestial bath."
Akane Kirino's thoughts come and go quickly, and there is also the persuasion of Hongzi, who was startled by her.
"The bald uncle Akane met yesterday. I heard that he likes to take a walk by the water at night."
"Wow... then forget it. I couldn't see anyone for a long time, and I thought the people in the village would sleep very early."
The trees by the stream block the sun during the day and provide shade, which at night becomes the best help to create a terrifying atmosphere, and the moonlight falls sparse. Back on the shore, Akane Kirino looked upstream and suddenly proposed to hold a bold test meeting here.
"It's very exciting, right? Walking from here to the small pool above, two people are in groups..."
"There are only four people in total. What's the test meeting in a group of two?" Zong Gu didn't want to go, so he followed her words and made a further request, "If you want to go, just go alone."
“…”
She could not refute, but she could not do it to let her walk back and forth in such darkness alone, so she had to give up.
"I want to take a shower, go back."
When they returned to Yuanqiao's house, several people went to take a shower separately.
Soya wanted to soak for a while, so he asked the girls to wash first, sat on the side of the rhino, and sent a message to Kyoko.
Kyoko:[Picture]
Kyoko: Miss Noma and I were having a meal outside.
She took a very restrained photo. In the photo, there was half of the dinner, and half of the people around her, and no one showed his face.
Soya: It looks pretty good.
Kyoko: It is a restaurant recommended by Miss Kobayashi, right nearby.
Soya: What are the plans for the future.
Kyoko: Go home. Miss Noma asked me to live with her these days.
“…”
Zong Gu immediately became alert.
Buzz —
Classmate Fangming: Can’t go.
Opposite the dining table, Noma Nan looked at Kyoko who was smiling with his head down, "News from Soya?"
"Um."
"What did he say, making Kyoko so happy."
She raised her head and tried to restrain her smile, "Student Yoshiaki said that Miss Noma's plot is very dangerous."
"Um?"
Rejecting the call from Noma Nan, Soya continued to chat with Kyoko, and then looked up at the moon in the sky.
The stars around are sparse and the clouds are gone, and the bright moon is bright alone.
Kacha.
Send the photos he took to Kyoko, and after a while, he received a photo with similar content.
Classmate Fangming: Just as beautiful as Kyoko.
“…”
Kyoko smiled and stood in the courtyard.
In the window beside him, Noma Nan lay beside the window, looked at her, and then looked at the moon in the sky.
"Agent Miss Miyashi, are you still eating your supper?"
"Sorry...I'll be back now."
"It's okay, there are still several dishes that haven't been served, so I can make them slower."
"No."
The surroundings were quiet, and the sound of footsteps deliberately slowing down and light came from behind. Zong Gu looked back.
"ah."
He discovered that Hongzi also returned to normal steps and walked to the side of the law, "The ears are really spiritual."
He turned back, "It's finished washing so soon."
"Well, the water temperature is a bit high, I can't soak it for too long. But Akane and Ling feel very comfortable and are still soaking."
After wiping her hair a few times, she came over and stood behind him: "Is Zong Gu sending a message to senior sister Guanyuan?"
"Um."
"What are you talking about?" she asked casually.
He perfunctorily said, "Nothing."
"snort."
Putting the towel on his shoulder, Hongzi leaned down and hugged him from behind.
"Hongzi..."
His arms were hooked against his neck, and it was a little wet, and the soft touch that pressed on his back was also very obvious. The fragrance of shampoo filled his body and he actively drilled into his nose.
She whispered in his ear, "Did you feel it?"
"Is this a more active attack... a fool."
"Just forgot to take it."
"Then go put it on."
While Akane Kirino and Asakiri were still in the bathroom, Hongko hugged her for a while before she let go. She did not immediately return to the room and put on her forgotten underwear, but sat down behind him and continued to wipe her hair.
"Have Zong Gu and his senior sister already took the kiss?" she asked suddenly.
Zong Gu looked down at his phone, and no new news was sent for the time being, "Yes."
"Did you do it?"
“It hasn’t reached this level yet.”
"oh."
Hongzi didn't know if she should be happy. She looked back at the living room and continued: "Now, except for Ling, even Akane and her senior sister have also taken the kiss with Sonogu."
“…”
Zong Gu pursed his lower lip.
"Why can't I be the only one?"
"Because Hongzi likes me."
She stretched her feet over and stepped on his back, "But Akane and Suzuki also like Soya..."
He deliberately concealed part of the fact that "the kiss with them happened before they liked it."
Hongzi understood what he meant, but it was just that, and their relationship could only last for the end.
But she always feels unfair.
"Then I don't like Soya now. Let me kiss you, just say goodbye to my first love."
“…”
Zong Gu looked back at her, and his expression suddenly condensed.
"Tungye..."
“…”
For a moment, Hongzi felt that her heartbeat and time had stopped.
It's finished.
When did she come here, she didn't hear at all...
She turned her head stiffly, but found that the living room behind her was empty and there was no one.
"If it's true, what should Hongzi do?"
Zong Gu shook his head, knowing in his heart that she would definitely be annoyed when she reacted, so he got up and prepared to run away.
"Stop it!"
Hongzi reacted faster than he expected, and grabbed him as he stood up, angry and annoyed.
"Don't use Akane to scare me." She glared at him, her face both anger and serious, but she couldn't say anything harsh, and complaining was like acting cute, "You know that I'm most worried... You really hate it.
”
Seeing her tears rolling, Zong Gu suddenly felt a little regretful.
"Feel sorry."
She turned her head and looked to the side, raised her hand and wiped it in her eyes, and looked over again: "I don't want to apologize."
As she said that, she raised her head slightly and closed her eyes again.
“…”
After a silence, his hand fell on her face.
“Um…”
With her face pinched, she opened her eyes again and stared at Zong Gu, regretting and annoyed for her failure to succeed.
"Songgu is always like this... Do you know how much courage a girl needs to muster to ask for a kiss on her own initiative?"
"I know."
He pinched her cheeks with one hand, and the heat she exhaled in his palms.
"But if I accept it, I will let down the courage that another shy girl finally mustered."
What's worse is that his will is not very firm.
“…”
Hongzi opened her mouth and fell silent.
Zong Gu also let go of his hand and glanced at her chest again. The pajamas were thin, with a layer of contrast missing inside, and the undulating outline was three-dimensional and obvious.
"You go up and wear your underwear first, and let's talk about the others later... they should be coming out soon."
Hongzi raised her hand to cover her chest and stood up and left the side of the rim.
After taking a few steps, she turned around, "Zonggu."
"Um."
"What would you do if Akane realized it?"
He looked at her, took another breath, and looked outside.
"Escape."
Hongzi forced a smile.
"coward."
Tossing and turning overnight.
The next morning, Hongzi slept undisturbed until after ten o'clock before waking up. Akane Kirino and Asakiri were not in the room, and she lay down for a while before getting up.
Everyone is downstairs.
"Hongzi."
Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at her dazed daughter, "I'm going home today."
