Chapter three hundred and fifty second best friend
He got up and locked the door. After listening to the movement in the corridor for a while, he confirmed that Akane Kirino and Hongko had both returned to the room. Soya looked down at the girl beside him.
"They have returned to the room."
"Um."
He responded to Wuling, without any intention of getting up or leaving.
After looking at her for a while, Zong Gu lay down again.
"I'll go back to sleep later."
Without asking for permission, she turned over and hugged his arm.
The lamp had already turned off. Looking at the ceiling in the dark, Soya spoke for a while: "Tungye asked Hongzi to live back, as if he wanted to do something."
"Um."
"I don't feel like I'm going to confess...but I can't be sure. After all, she is her."
"Um."
"If she really understood her intentions, she wouldn't do nothing."
"Um."
"If she confesses..."
With a messy thought, Zong Gu took a deep breath and turned his head, "Why didn't Ling say anything?"
"It's meaningless to think about these things now." Chao Wuling said with his eyes closed.
He thought she was complaining about her swaying and hesitating, and was speechless for a moment and did not use this topic to provoke her again.
They were silent for a moment, and pinched his arm at Wuling: "If there were three days left to be the end of the world, what would you do?"
“…”
So you are thinking about this?
Soya thought for a while, "Is the end of the world unstoppable?"
She raised her head and put her jaw against his shoulder, "Yeah."
"What's the reason? Is it a meteorite outside the sky, or some kind of disaster inside the earth?"
"I don't know. Just think that the teacher suddenly wants to destroy this world."
"That's really a headache... Can't Ling stop the teacher?"
Seeing that he was really thinking about the end of the world seriously, Chao Wuling wanted to laugh a little, but couldn't.
"The teacher's idea is mine, I will not stop it... Even if the teacher wants to kill you, I will stand on the teacher's side and shed more tears for you at most."
Zong Gu smiled.
"Go back to the question just now: What would you do when the end of the world is coming?"
"I have no idea."
He raised his arm and held her into his arms, "When I first started high school, because of the influence of several doomsday movies and the same type of novels, I often fantasize about what I should do if the end of the world is coming. But I have never been
They are all thinking about how to turn the tide and save the world, and never think about how to wait for death."
“…”
Chao Wuling didn't say anything, hugged his waist and spoke after a while.
“Two options.”
"What."
"It's traveling around the world, and at the last time, to see where you want to and have never been to, or to stay with the person you love the most, and wait for the end of the world."
"I will stay with Ling." Sonoya replied without hesitation.
She looked up at him, "It's just me?"
"Others probably won't ask this kind of question suddenly... it hurts."
Let go of the flesh on his waist and sighed quietly at the fogling.
He just thought she was acting cute, but she could no longer explain it better.
"Whatever your choice is, I will be with you."
Zong Gu looked down at her. Although he didn't quite understand where her sudden sentimentality came from, he still hugged her tightly.
"good."
After lying for a while, he sat up at Wuling.
"Are you going back to your room?" asked Zong Gu.
She didn't say anything, and she sat on his waist and groped behind her.
"……bell!"
“Do it.”
"Wait a moment……"
"I can't wait for too long."
Xia's clothes were thin, and she easily grabbed him and refused to let go.
Zong Gu had no choice but to turn over and break free, then pinched her left and right wrists and pressed her down.
"Why not?"
There are many reasons. Zong Gu picked the one closest to the current reality, "They are in the next room."
Her hands were pinched, and her legs could move, hooked to his waist.
"Then go to my room."
“…”
Zong Gu pursed his lower lip, "If Ling wants it, I can help you like before."
She was silent for a while, then struggled with a little harder, her voice cold.
"never mind."
Zong Gu bent down and kissed him.
She turned her head to avoid it, and he chased and asked for it.
“Um…”
The two were still connected together.
After a while, he raised his hand to support his chest, and separated from him with unfulfilled feelings, his body and voice had softened a lot.
"Let me go back."
Zonggu continued to kiss her face, "Is that OK?"
"If I say it's not enough, will I do it to the end?"
"……Won't."
She sighed and gently pushed his chest down.
He took her back to his room.
Open the lock and slowly open the door. Zong Gu went out first, and then let Chaowuling come out.
He sent her to the room and completed the necessary "ritual" before bed for her. When Zong Gu returned to his room, he heard the faint voice of the next door at the door.
It's Hongko and Akane Kirino.
It was not too late, and the two of them had just arrived for a while, so of course they wouldn't fall asleep so quickly.
He couldn't hear clearly, nor was he interested in eavesdropping, so he returned to his room and lay down.
And across a wall, the two girls in the other room sat up.
"…Hongko doesn't really like Soya, right?"
“Eh?”
In the dark room, there was almost no way to see anything, but both of them could feel each other's gaze.
They were all a little nervous and were very sensitive to each other's every move.
When Akatsuki confessed to Akane Kirino, Hongzi had long imagined countless possibilities, but she didn't expect that she would have such a reaction.
She didn't quite understand, and even thought she had heard it wrong.
“…What is Akane talking about?”
Akane Kirino leaned closer, groped her arm in the darkness, and held it tightly.
"I said, it's not really true that Hongzi likes Songu... isn't it right?"
"No..."
After being confused, Hongzi felt a little ridiculous.
Does she want to use this method to avoid conflicts between each other... or is it actually implying that she takes the initiative to retreat?
Too ridiculous.
His arms suddenly tightened, and there was a slight pain, but Akane Kirino unconsciously held it harder.
"Isn't it right?" she asked again.
Hongzi struggled a few times but couldn't get away, "Xiang doesn't think this is very..."
She paused, without saying Kuku, and asked instead: "Why does Akane feel this way?"
"Sorry." Realizing that he had been too hard just now, Akane Kirino loosened her hand a little, and stroked her arm a few times as compensation and comfort, "Because this has always been."
“…”
What has always been...what is she talking about?
Hongzi was about to refute, but then suddenly reacted.
——At the beginning, she really didn’t really fall in love with Zong Gu.
But how long ago did that happen?
And Akane would know this, but he could only tell her.
"Have Soya told Akane what he said?"
"It's almost the same... it can also be said that Hongzi told me in person."
“…”
Is what I told her in person...is it a sleep talk?
Hongzi was sure that she kept her mouth shut when she was awake. From the way she played like him before, to the time when they stopped mentioning this matter to each other, she never made it clear to her.
"When I was in Kyoto..."
Akane Kirino took the initiative to explain to her, "It was the time when he went to Kyoto during the Golden Week. When Hongko and Soya were talking in the courtyard, I was actually right next to me... Sorry! I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, it was just a
I accidentally missed the opportunity to show up. When I wanted to say hello, you had already said something amazing and couldn't show up."
"After that, Zong Gu found me outside and explained to me his 'secret' with Hongzi on the way back. Later, I asked him to keep it secret and not tell Hongzi."
“…”
Hongzi was struck by lightning, and her head was thundering loudly, and she could no longer speak.
Did you know that at that time...
Not only that, she also asked him to continue hiding it and pretended not to know anything.
"Sorry, Hongzi... I admit that I do have a little bad intention, because I thought this fact was too interesting at the time and didn't want it to end like this." Akane Kirino looked at her, "I want to see Hongzi continue
It would be interesting to pretend to like Soya and the reaction when it was exposed in the end... I'm really sorry!"
“…”
"But I didn't expect that it would be clear at this time. I thought I would not be able to help myself until at least the second grade... Maybe it was because Hongzi didn't mention it much later."
Akane Kirino approached her again, and half-wrinkled her with her.
"But, I'm really happy - Hongzi likes me so much, much more than I thought!"
She was already in chaos because of her and Zong Gu's affairs, and the deep secret was exposed at this time, and Hongzi didn't know what to say.
"I feel the same way about Hongzi."
Akane Kirino hugged her and said, "Hongzi likes me a lot, so I like Hongzi a little longer: no matter how many years I will be, Hongzi will always be my best friend."
“…”
Hongzi opened her mouth, looked at her with both eyes, and slowly raised her hand to hug her back.
"Well...forever."
"Uh-huh!"
Akane Kirino smiled, then let her go, moved her body, and was sitting in front of her: "Now, it's time for me to tell Hongzi my secret."
“…”
She doesn't want to listen.
She had known the so-called secret for a long time. She even noticed it when her mother came to eat last time, and she mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, only she was still hiding it in her heart like a fool.
Hongzi suppressed the restlessness in her heart, "Is Akane's secret? What is it?"
Because I wasn't sure, Akane Kirino didn't speak directly, but asked, "Hongzi thinks, how do I feel about Soya?"
“…”
She looked at her for a while, and her heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, and she was surging back and forth, and a resentment that could not be ignored suddenly took over.
Since she is her best friend, why can’t she notice her true intention?
"It's just the feeling of an ordinary friend."
"Hey... it shouldn't be that ordinary." Her answer surprised Akane Kirino, "My relationship with Soya, at least Hongko is at the same level, right?"
"So." Hongzi's tone was a little stiff.
Akane Kirino looked at her and said:
"Hongzi is a girl. No matter how much I like Hongzi, it is my friend's love, but Zonggu is a boy... I wonder, is I the kind of love I like Zonggu?"
“…”
Didn't you fully confirm your feelings?
That's right, otherwise she would have confessed.
For a moment, Hongzi wanted to tell her that this was just her illusion. Her concern for Sonogu was entirely due to friendship between friends and had nothing to do with love... but she couldn't speak.
The resentment disappeared invisibly, and all she had left was depression.
She could not lie to her best friend in such a thing, nor could she calmly tell the truth that she didn't understand yet, Hongzi could only choose to escape.
"I have no idea……"
"Sure enough, Hongzi can't see it either?"
Akane Kirino sighed slightly and suddenly laughed again: "I always feel like I've done something like doing it again."
"During the Golden Week, didn't Hongzi invite me and Soya to go to Kyoto together because she couldn't see her feelings clearly... Although she was just pretending at that time."
“…”
Hongzi now only has a feeling of wanting to die.
"so……"
Akane Kirino took a deep breath and continued, "What I want to do now is to confirm my intentions."
"—What if I confirm it." Hongzi looked straight at her, "What is Akane going to do?"
"I will... confess."
A little confused appeared on Akane Kirino's face, "I have never felt like this that it might be in love with a boy, but if I really like it, the next thing I should do is confess, right? Then date something...
…”
"What if Zonggu likes other girls?" Hongzi asked again.
"Who?" she asked immediately.
"For example, Guanyuan Senior Sister...or Ling."
And her.
Akane Kirino was silent for a while, "If so, why didn't Soya date them?"
Will you definitely date if you like it?
If it were before getting to know Zong Gu, Hongzi would only think that this question is meaningless.
"I don't know." She pursed her lower lip, "This is just my guess."
"Actually, I have considered this issue," said Aka Kirino, "but Suzu is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Soya. Senior Guan Yuan is his colleague. I can only see that they have a close relationship, but I don't know this intimacy.
Is it because of the visible relationship on the surface, or because I didn’t see it…I like it.”
"I don't know what to ask." She paused, "So, all I can confirm is Hongzi's intention."
"Luckily... it may be too early to say 'lucky', but... it's lucky that Hongzi doesn't really like Soya."
“…”
Hongzi remembers that she had denied her statement just now.
Is it because she admitted that secret that she naturally still thinks that liking is fake?
"What if it's true?"
Akane Kirino looked at her and said, "Then I won't think about this anymore."
"Why……"
"'Why'? Because if Hongzi likes Soya, I can't like him anymore. Isn't this a matter of course?"
“…”
Hongzi pursed her lips, "Does Akane mean to give up Soya for me?"
"Yes." Akane Kirino smiled, "Or Hongko would also feel distressed. Just like on TV, two good friends broke up because they like the same person, and I don't like this kind of plot."
Hongzi opened her mouth.
"I……"
As long as she speaks now, she will quit.
"I……"
Akane will give up on Sonoya.
"like……"
Give up Songu for her.
“…”
Hongzi picked up her knees and buried her head.
"Hongzi...oh, are you crying?" Akane Kirino held her face, wiped away her tears, and gently stroked her back, "What's wrong, so suddenly..."
"fine."
She wiped her tears and looked aside, "I just felt very moved... because Akane has so many concerns about me."
"Because Hongzi is my best friend."
"Well...best friend."
Since she is her best friend, why can’t she notice her true intention?
Hongzi asked herself.
Isn’t there any signs that Akane likes Soya?
But she just pretended not to find out and let each other's hearts continue to ferment until it was uncontrollable.
The bitter fruits that I have to swallow today are all condensed by her selfishness yesterday.
It's time to give up, Hongzi thought.
Akane treats her as her best friend, and can even ignore her true intentions and give up the person she likes for her, she can do it.
“…”
The hands are trembling.
The body is trembling.
“Woo…”
Hongzi bit her lip tightly and suppressed her whimper with pain, but tears couldn't stop flowing.
She can't do it.
Despite all the bitterness and making a look of ugly, she still couldn't give up on him.
"Hongzi..."
Seeing that she started crying again, Akane Kirino was a little at a loss.
"I'll go out!"
Hongzi wiped her tears and got up and was about to go out.
"Hey..." Akane Kirino was stunned, "It's already this time, where is Hongzi going?"
"If I don't go anywhere, I'll stay downstairs... I'm a little thirsty and want to have a glass of water."
"I'll accompany you..."
"—No!...It's okay, I'll come up soon."
Akane Kirino opened her mouth, "Okay."
After strode away from the room, he closed the door gently, Hongzi walked past the next room as without making any noise as possible, and went downstairs alone.
Worried that Akane Kirino would follow her, she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water first.
And she did come down.
Although his steps were slow, Hongzi still heard a little noise in the corridor.
She didn't come in, and she held the water cup and turned her back to the door, just pretending that she didn't notice it.
After a while, Akane Kirino went up quietly again.
“…”
Putting down the water cup, Hongzi did not go upstairs, but came to the living room and sat down in the darkness.
She knew she was escaping.
But apart from escaping, she no longer knew what to do.
Another extremely light footsteps sounded, and she turned around and a petite figure stood at the door of the living room.
"bell……"
Hongzi turned her head and wiped her eyes quickly, then turned around, and Chao Wuling had already arrived behind her.
"It's so pitiful."
“…”
She pursed her lips and tried to be tough, "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything."
"Then..."
“—I don’t care.”
“…”
“No matter what you have done or want to do, it’s meaningless now.”
After saying that, Chao Wuling did not stop and turned around and left the living room.
Hongzi looked back for a while, hugged her knees and buried her head deeply.
