The summer days are always long, the setting sun and the lights slanting out of the store are intertwined, and the girl at the intersection is like the most eye-catching singer on the stage.
"Good afternoon, Bai Xianzhu, have you started school?" Aikawa Yusheng, who noticed this scene from a distance, approached and greeted Bai Xianzhu with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Aikawa-kun, school has started, and it's two days earlier than you." The girl nodded with a gentle smile and responded softly.
"Why do you look so sad?" The naive girl's emotions were always written simply on her face. Seeing the hidden sadness in the corner of Bai Xianzou's eyebrows, Aikawa Yusheng asked curiously.
"It's my sister. Ever since she found out that I'm working with you, she's been saying that she wants to work here too."
"What's that, Xiaozou, please tell the store manager that I'm sick today. Oops, my stomach hurts suddenly. I'm going to take a leave." Aikawa Yusheng blinked, his progress stopped, and time began to flow backwards.
He stepped back, looked at Bai Xianzhuo and said.
As for Bai Stringer's identity, as early as the second day after returning to Tokyo, Arc Yue Jingxue came to her home and told her about her detection results.
——No matter from any aspect, Bai Xingxuan is just an ordinary person who is extremely ordinary. He is definitely not a monster, and he is not looking for his body like Jiye.
At the same time, the miko-sama did exactly the same thing as her apprentice—putting a restriction on Bai Stringer that had no effect on ordinary people.
"Sister didn't come today." As if he knew what Aikawa Yusheng was worried about, Bai Xianzhuo waved his hands quickly, "I never told her where I worked, and I didn't definitely promise her to come here.
Work with me."
"It's okay, my illness has recovered again." He breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the door of the store. He subconsciously took a look inside the store to make sure that Bai Xianxuan was not there, and then left with Bai Xianxuan.
Go in.
"Aikawa-kun, have you and my sister known each other before?" Bai Xianzou seemed to hesitate for a while, then asked.
"That's a good question," Aikawa Yusheng nodded, carefully recalled all the experiences of this [awakening] so far, and said in a positive tone: "From my perspective, I definitely don't know him.
"
"She said...she told me that she likes you."
It was obviously my sister's confession, just conveyed by Bai Xianzhuo, but when she said this, her face was as red as a ripe cherry, exuding a seductive look. People who didn't know might think that she was the one confessing now.
"I may also know this. After all, she told me that day... By the way, Zuosang, did my sister tell you specifically what happened that day?" At this point, Aikawa Yusheng raised his head and asked.
"I told you," the girl nodded first, then sighed and shook her head, "but she didn't say it completely. She just said she liked you, so she secretly wanted to see you that day, and that's it, it's over.
Bai Xianzhuo raised his head, and glanced at Aikawa Yusheng secretly with eyes like a deer in the forest. When he found that he was also looking at him, he quickly looked away and said:
"My sister said she didn't do anything and just slept with you."
"Your sister is playing a word game!" Aikawa Yusheng waved his hand helplessly, "She slept through it, but it has nothing to do with me."
If it has anything to do with it, it's also Yingying Kongfeng's technique.
"I still know this. I'm just worried, did my sister do anything else to trouble you? Aikawa-kun, did anything else happen that day? If so, I'll apologize to you first on my sister's behalf.
"
With real guilt, Bai Xianzou bowed to Aikawa Yusheng, but halfway through, he was helped up by Aikawa Yusheng who had predicted.
"It's nothing." Yusheng Aikawa thought for a while and added, "It was nothing before today."
We cannot rule out the possibility that Bai Xuan got into trouble after arriving at this gift shop.
"Why does she suddenly like you so much?" Bai Xianzhuo said with some distress.
"He is so handsome, he is funny, he is so handsome, he is considerate, he is so handsome, he is sunny and cheerful, he is so handsome..." Aikawa Yusheng said with a smile while changing into work clothes in the locker room.
Finally, he concluded: "This is inevitable."
"Ah?" Bai Xianzhu parted her lips subconsciously, revealing the pink inner wall of her mouth. Matched with her slightly red cheeks, it was like the fresh pulp inside a cherry after its skin was torn open.
"Oh, that's it." After being stunned, Bai Xianzhuo nodded, as if he knew the 'correct answer' to this question, and was now deducing the solution to the problem based on the answer, trying to understand it.
"No, don't really believe it." Aikawa Yusheng couldn't laugh or cry, "I really don't know why your sister likes me."
"My sister also said that she wanted to transfer to Mingchuan. I explained that Chuan itself has very high requirements, and the transfer was even more exaggerated. As a result, my sister was not afraid at all. Instead, she said, 'In the next month, she will study hard and strive to enter the school.
The Threshold of Mingchuan'."
Ignoring Aikawa Yusheng's words, Bai Xianzhuo sat on the chair in the staff room, holding his cheek with one hand, and said to himself.
"It's not necessary, it's really unnecessary." Aikawa Yusheng paused in changing clothes, then raised his head and said.
Bai Chuanran came here to work, and he could still hide. If he came to Mingchuan, he would really have a headache.
Although I am no longer confused by Tianhe Xia Li's 'harassment', it is always difficult to get used to the sudden addition of another person.
It's just... Aikawa Yusheng was suddenly a little curious. If Tianhe Xia Li and Bai Shuan Xuan knew each other's existence and were in the same class, to be more dramatic, one would sit in front of him and the other would sit behind him, then what would happen?
What will it look like?
Forget it, stop being curious, Aikawa Yusheng suddenly realized that with this seating arrangement, the only victim was himself.
Thinking about the location, Ying Kongfeng's last location in Class A of the first grade was quite far away from her. It was near the corridor window, in the middle, symmetrical to her position in Class B.
Aikawa Yusheng seriously suspected that this miko lady had directly told the teacher to stay away from him!
"I have been trying to persuade Xiao Le. Xiao Le has always been very obedient before and has never caused me any trouble. But this time, she is extra stubborn and will not listen to me no matter what I say."
"Alas." Aikawa Yusheng sighed, "Bai Xian-san, didn't you say that your sister has someone she has always liked? You also said that I don't have much chance of being your brother-in-law. Why do girls empathize?
Don’t fall in love so fast.”
"I don't know~" The girl's eyebrows curved deeper. Even with such an expression, Bai Xianzhuo made it look cute.
"Is it possible that I really want to be your brother-in-law? Actually, I would rather be your sister's brother-in-law." Aikawa Yusheng rubbed his chin and teased.
Bai Xianzhuo rarely reacted to this. It seemed that he was really distressed by his sister's incident. Upon seeing this, Aikawa Yusheng stopped joking and smiled silently.
"Let everything take its course, Bai Xian-san, you don't have to worry too much...what do you want to say?" After thinking about it, Aikawa Yusheng said, but halfway through, he found that the girl happened to look up at him and
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, so he changed his question and asked.
"...It's okay." Bai Xianzhuo just shook his head.
"Then...work?" Yusheng Aikawa blinked and said after changing his clothes.
"good."
"That..." The girl who nodded spoke again just as the two were about to walk to the staff room.
"Yes, I'm listening." Aikawa Yusheng nodded softly in response.
"Aikawa-kun...what do you think...that...my sister?"
"..."
Aikawa Yusheng, who thought he was going to say something to him to ask for help when he saw the girl's posture, was stunned.
Why do these words sound...like they are talking to matchmakers?
"It's pretty good-looking?" With a strange look on his face, Aikawa Yusheng wanted to know what Bai Xianzhuo had to say, so he tentatively answered.
"Then you..." The girl buried her head even lower, no longer daring to look up at Aikawa Yusheng. The blush that had finally dissipated permeated back, and the two exposed ears were as red as rubies.
"Then... would you like her like this? Or what to do, would you like your sister more?"
"..."
It's really matchmaking.
"Bai Xian-san, do you really want to be my sister-in-law?" Aikawa Yusheng said, dumbfounded.
"No, no," the girl waved her hands quickly, then opened the door to the staff room and ran out like a wild animal.
"Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm sorry, Aikawa-kun."
Only these words were left to accompany Aikawa Yusheng, who was still in a state of confusion.
◇
"goodbye."
Walking to the door of the gift shop, Aikawa Yusheng waved to the employees in the store and said.
It's already time to get off work, the last bit of summer's afterglow has dissipated, the sky has revealed a dark white alternating between black and night, the surrounding street lights have been lit, and the colorful neon has become the mainstream in the field of vision.
"Bai Xian-san, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety." Looking at Bai Xian-san who came out later, Aikawa Yusheng gave the usual reminder.
"Yeah." The girl nodded and left the door quickly.
"Walk slowly, I won't eat you, don't be afraid." Aikawa Yusheng said with a smile.
Throughout the night, Bai Xianzhuo tried her best to avoid talking to herself, and the reason was obvious. Considering her shyness, Aikawa Yusheng thought it was normal.
Hearing this, the girl walked faster, even approaching running.
With an amused smile, Aikawa Yusheng watched Bai Xianzhuo leave. At the age of eighteen, her back vaguely showed a mature charm, and she looked natural and elegant.
After Bai Xianzou disappeared around the corner of the road, Aikawa Yusheng put on his headphones and walked home.
With his hands in his trousers pockets and his head slightly shaking to the music, Aikawa Yusheng passed a bench downstairs of his home.
"..."
As if time went backwards, Aikawa Yusheng returned the same way and sat on the bench.
"You didn't show up at home this time, why did you show up here?" Aikawa Yusheng had a helpless and funny look on his face, looking at Yueyue Jingyoshita who was holding a newspaper to cover his face.
Her long hair was tied up, revealing her white neck. She was wearing a black yukata with cherry blossoms and colorful cranes embroidered on it. She had a light red belt on her thin waist and her breasts were full and plump.
Just sitting next to her, I felt an unparalleled coolness. I wonder if it was because of the magic.
"I was discovered. It's boring." The miko-sama curled her lips, put down the newspaper in her hand, looked at Aikawa Yusheng with a smile, and said:
"I just wanted to see if I could scare you."
"Why are you acting like a child?" Aikawa Yusheng stretched out his finger and tapped Yueyue Jingxue's head.
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands! I just finished taking a shower!" The miko-sama said dissatisfiedly with her arms folded on her chest and her cheeks slightly bulging.
"I touched it." Aikawa Yusheng raised his eyebrows, and then used his finger to poke Yueyue Jing's soft cheek under the snow.
"I touched it again, I touched it again, I touched it again." As if provoking, Aikawa Yusheng continued to poke different parts of the miko-sama's cheek with his fingers.
Until he tried to touch his lips again, his fingertips were bitten by the miko-sama.
"Don't use your teeth, haven't I reminded you many times?" Aikawa Yusheng said.
"..." Arc Yue Jingxue looked at Aikawa Yusheng as if she couldn't believe what she heard, while Aikawa Yusheng had an innocent face.
The fingers even stirred the miko-sama's mouth a few times.
"I really……"
"Shut up, you really can't spit out any ivory from your mouth." Arc Yue Jingxue took out her finger and looked at Aikawa Yusheng with disgust with eyes that said "hurry up and destroy".
Aikawa Yusheng, who couldn't speak, shrugged indifferently, and then... began to bite his fingers.
"Go home, I'm hungry." Hu Yuejing stood up under the snow and stretched her waist, revealing her beautiful curves, and said in a sleepy voice.
"I know, every time you came to my house, you came back after eating." Aikawa Yusheng smiled and pointed at the newspaper she placed on the bench: "Also, if you want to play passerby next time, this newspaper
I won’t mention it now that almost no one has read it. Secondly, please don’t hold the newspaper upside down.”
"You are the only one who has sharp eyes and is amazing, Luo Luo Luo~" the miko said disdainfully.
"You're so cute." After smiling from the corner of his eyes, looking at the curved moon mirror in front of him under the snow, Aikawa Yusheng couldn't help but rub her head.
"You're so dirty."
"Then do you want me to carry you home, if you don't mind me being dirty?" Aikawa Yusheng asked with a smile.
"I declare that you are no longer dirty."
"Otherwise," Aikawa Yusheng squatted in front of Arc Yue Jingxue, waiting for her to come up, and said at the same time, "I still think that I am dirty now, but because you stayed outside for a while, you also
Dirty, how about it?"
"Is there any difference?" Yue Jingxue, who was lying on Aikawa Yusheng's back, asked.
"Of course there is a difference. For example, we can go home and take a shower together."
"Hey - whatever you want."
"Then I'll tell you again, don't use your teeth. Which time did I use my teeth? Do you think it was right?"
"You haven't used your teeth yet?" Aikawa Yusheng didn't need to turn his head, but he knew that Arc Yue Jingxuexia behind him was knocking at him sideways.
"——Of course, I am referring to the time below." Aikawa Yusheng said sarcastically, because what the other party said did make sense.
"You want to shut up again, don't you?"
"In no mood."
"Then shut up."
"OK."
Everyone, after all, there is a difference between shutting up actively and shutting up passively.
Under the light, the shadow gradually lengthened, getting further and further away.
