"Xiao Xiao, do you really like me?"

Wu Geng raised her head in surprise, this time she would not hesitate even if her eyes were burned.

"I like it, Na-chan, I really like you."

Her shock did not lie in the question Nishino asked, but in the fact that Nishino would have doubts about Nishino Nanase's love for Nishino. She had to use this question to confirm whether this love was sincere and not mixed with any impurities.

.

To be honest, Wu Geng was a little angry at the moment. She couldn't care less even if Ikuta was standing aside.

She felt that Nishino should not doubt this, just like she had never doubted whether Nishino really liked her. She felt that this was a blasphemy and a slander. Their relationship itself was deviant from the norm in the eyes of the world, precisely because

In this way, they must ensure a pure and transparent state with each other, without any doubts about each other.

"Xiao Xiao, do you still remember what you said to me on the beach in Macau?"

"Of course I remember, Na-chan, I like you, I like you, you can let me say it a hundred times."

Wu Geng walked to Nishino in a panic and held her delicate and slender hand tightly. A panic suddenly appeared in her heart, "I am neither forcing myself nor agreeing with you Na-chan. In such an important situation

I won't lie to you or myself about things. So, don't ask such lonely questions."

Ikuta's expression on the side was complicated. Although she had already guessed what the two of them were doing, she was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, which still made her feel uncomfortable. Wasn't she having trouble just now? Why is she showing affection again now?

"I'm sorry..." Nishino fell silent for a moment and apologized softly, "I know that Xiaoxiao likes me, but I can't help but want to confirm it again and again, even though I know it's not necessary."

Nishino slowly took her hand out of Wu Geng's. She lowered her head and took a small step back.

"Nana-chan, Ikuta just got her clothes wet from the fountain in the square, so I asked her to come home and take a hot bath, and then go back after the clothes were dry. What happened on the sofa was just Ikuta misunderstanding me and Hika-chan -

—”

Wu Geng explained and was about to continue to step forward when Nishino said, "It's okay, I guessed it."

"Na-chan, have you guessed it?" Wu Geng stopped and glanced at Ikuta, who was also surprised, "Then why..."

Then why do you still lose your temper? Are you still unhappy? Why do you still keep a straight face and make the atmosphere tense?

Nishino understands the meaning of Wu Geng. She has always understood it. However, perhaps because she understands it too well, she cannot blame Wu Geng entirely for many things.

It's easy to blame someone, but it's not that easy to realize your own mistakes. It's hard for others to change for you. You can't control others, just like you can't control the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, so no one will bother about this issue.

.But people have to take responsibility for themselves, so their own problems are not so easy to ignore.

"It's not Ikuta's problem," Nishino said, "nor Hiyaka's problem. I don't care about Xiaoxiao and Hiyaka's relationship for a long time. Maybe only Ikuta would misunderstand it out of concern."

Ikuta scratched his head, feeling that his IQ had been underestimated inexplicably.

"It's your problem, Xiaoxiao." Xiye looked at Wu Geng, the meaning in his eyes was like a tangled ball of thread, and it was difficult for her to sort out the clues.

"...What's my problem?"

However, Nishino just shook his head slightly and stopped looking at her.

At this time, the doorbell rang. The short sound was like waves rushing to the beach, one after another. It showed the anxious state of mind of the visitor.

"Xiaoxiao, go and open the door." Nishino said.

Nishino looked as if he expected someone to ring the doorbell. Without any further hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the entrance.

Standing outside the door was Xiao Feiniao and her father.

"Feiniao, why are you..." Wugeng was confused.

Didn't Na-chan send Little Asuka home? Why did she also bring her father with her?

Xiao Feiniao's condition was not good. Her eyes were red. She had obviously cried once before coming here. When she saw Wu Geng opening the door, Xiao Feiniao couldn't help but take a step forward. Wu Geng opened her hands subconsciously, but

Xiao Feiniao quickly restrained himself. The embrace he expected in the fifth watch did not come.

Little Asuka bit her lip and immediately lowered her gaze, not daring to look at the fifth watch again, "Na-chan...are you here?"

Her voice was weak, like a dandelion blown by the wind.

"Asuka, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

The little bird just shook its head.

At five o'clock in the morning, I looked at Father Bird and found that he was looking at me with a complicated and unreadable look.

What's going on? It's getting weirder and weirder.

"Na-chan...are you in there?" Xiao Asuka asked again.

"Inside," Wu Geng looked at Nishino in the living room, then turned around and said with a smile, "Why are you and uncle here? You are still crying so miserably. What happened?" But in my heart, I thought, Xiao Feiniao is here.

It really wasn't the right time, as she and Nishino were having a conflict.

Wu Geng was thinking about how to persuade Xiao Feiniao and her father to go back, when Nishino's calm but clear voice came from behind.

"Xiaoxiao, what's going on between you and Feiniao?"

Little Feiniao trembled and subconsciously tightened the corners of his father's clothes. His face was pale and his hands could not stop trembling slightly.

Asuka's father patted Little Asuka on the back with mixed emotions, silently telling her that he was still with her.

Wu Geng said "Huh?" in great surprise. She didn't notice Xiao Feiniao's performance, otherwise she would never have responded to Nishino with such relaxed words.

"What's going on?" She laughed and said, "Na-chan, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with little Asuka?"

Nishino looked at her quietly in the living room. Even though they were four or five meters apart, Wu Geng could still feel that something seemed to be surging under her calm gaze.

Nishino asked in a voice that could not tell whether it was sad or angry:

"Feiniao likes you, Xiaoxiao, don't you know?"

Like... me? Little Flying Bird?

It took Wu Geng two or three seconds to extract the accurate information he could understand from Nishino's words.

There are many kinds of likes. Before Nishino said she liked Wu Geng, Wu Geng never thought that a simple word could have such weight. Sometimes it makes people breathless, and sometimes it makes people immersed in the happy intersection of the two.

in, it’s hard to extricate yourself.

Wu Geng didn't dare to look at Xiao Feiniao's expression. She could feel the strange solid silence behind her.

"Na-chan, are you kidding..." Wu Geng smiled. But even she could feel how dry her voice was. Nishino looked at her and was not laughing. This was not something that could be done with just a joke.

Prevaricate the past.

Xiao Feiniao bit her lip, her face became even paler, and a fine cold sweat broke out on the back of her neck. She even felt a little dizzy.

She didn't dare to raise her head, how dare she raise her head.

Wu Gen, Nishino, she has known for a long time that the relationship between the two goes beyond ordinary friendship. After that kiss, her world has been turned upside down. She began to consider things that she had never considered before.

Father Asuka felt his daughter's fragility and uneasiness, and his mood became more and more complicated. He had never clearly realized at this moment that his daughter was no longer the child who greeted him at the entrance with a cheerful smile in elementary school.

Parents always have selfish motives. In fact, Feiniao's father does not want Feiniao to grow up. In his heart, Feiniao has always been the little girl with a ponytail, wearing a cute skirt, and running happily on the floor.

Even if Asuka really grew up and slowly distanced himself from his father, he still thought so.

He really wanted to take Asuka and leave here, right now. They could drive directly to the beach for a ride, or find a park with street lights on and hang out on the swings all night, just like they did when they were children.

But……

——Don’t you know Asuka’s thoughts very well? Or maybe it’s because the other person is a girl.

All this is what Feiniao wants. Feiniao's father knows this very well.

Faced with these birds, he did not escape, but chose to face them head-on. He did not want to drag down the little birds' choices because of himself. Whether it was as a father or as a man.

"Birds."

The bird's father patted the little bird on the back.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

The little flying bird opened its mouth, but made no sound.

"If you don't say it now, there will be no chance in the future. Avoiding will become a habit."

In the increasingly solemn air, the little bird slowly let go of the hand holding his father's clothes.

Asuka's father felt as if a piece of space suddenly felt empty in his heart, but he still silently encouraged his daughter in his heart. Come on.

"..."

The little bird raised her head, and although she was trying her best to control her emotions, she still shed tears involuntarily.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Xiao Asuka sobbed while wiping her tears, "I'm sorry, Na-chan, I like Wu Geng, I have always liked her since before..."

In the middle of the night, her hands and feet were numb, and the temperature of her whole body was quickly passing away like water being drained from a swimming pool. She could not even feel the existence of her body. She could only open and close her lips numbly and ask, her voice trembling:
Chapter completed!
