Xiao Feiniao felt somewhat guilty.

Of course, just a little bit. A little bit.

When leaving the garden, Hashimoto once took the initiative to reach out to hold her hand. Xiao Asuka felt shy and pulled away, and then the second time. This time she acquiesced.

Under the tree at the door, the shadows of the trees were stretched by the setting sun. They stood in the shade, waiting for Asuka's parents to drive to pick her up.

They didn't speak for a long time, and Xiao Asuka stared at the stones under her feet in a daze. She felt that everything had become strange, strange and unfamiliar. Hashimoto and the others were like this, and so was Nishino.

Me too...

She felt a slight remorse, as if a blunt knife was pressing against the heart on her left chest. She couldn't help but hold Hashimoto's hand tightly.

"Asuka?"

Feiniao shook her head and said nothing, then she heard the sound of a car approaching. Her parents came to pick her up.

But Xiao Feiniao still couldn't get rid of that small amount of self-blame.

She got into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Asuka's mother was still chatting with Hashimoto. She looked out through the car window. Hashimoto looked apologetic, noticed the sight of little Asuka, and reluctantly smiled at her and waved.

Asuka's gaze crossed behind her and landed on Nishino.

Najiang will break up with Wu Geng, maybe because of me, she thought.

She didn't want to think this way, but she couldn't help it.

On the way back, she stared out the window in ecstasy without saying a word. Fortunately, her parents didn't say a word. She knew that they cared but suppressed the question and didn't ask. The little bird was grateful.

After that, the fifth watch was like a taboo in the Saito family. Even the clumsy father never mentioned it again. It was as if the fifth watch had never existed in the Saito family.

How difficult is it to make a person completely disappear? How can it be considered as a complete disappearance? Invisible, intangible, silent and pretending to forget? But occasionally in the bathroom, she would still think of it.

"Asuka, you need to wash away the foam."

Mother said softly.

It's been a long time since mother and daughter took a shower together. The last time it happened was in the fifth grade of elementary school. It was all to train Asuka's ability to live independently. But when she went out too late and was about to be late, her mother would still help her.

The rainy water poured on the foamy scalp of the little flying bird. The little flying bird blinked twice, but tears still flowed out unsatisfactorily. Fortunately, she lowered her head at the moment and no one saw her.

"Mom..." she whispered, with a hint of aggrieved nasal tone.

"Feiniao, you don't have to say anything you don't want to say," Feiniao's mother gently helped her daughter wash away the debris on her head. "Whenever you want to say something, your mother is willing to be the first to listen."

"Yeah." Xiao Feiniao bit her lip and raised her hand to wipe her eyes.

Then the movements became more frequent.

Mother Feiniao thought her daughter was crying to vent her pain, but little Feiniao raised her head with a grimace, her eyes were red, and she said flatly, "...the foam got into her eyes."

Mother Bird laughed and pinched her nose.

"Little stupid bird."

——

In many contexts, stupid is a derogatory word. Therefore, Feiniao doesn't like it.

But sometimes, she still feels that this evaluation is not wrong when it is applied to herself.

But what is a smart move? No one told her this.

Asuka thought that her relationship with Nishino and the others would change because of the incident at the amusement park. In fact, it did not. Everyone still treated her as before. It was just that Asuka felt uncomfortable, or it could be said that she had excessive self-awareness.

"Birds."

After the recording of the program was completed, Feiniao was packing her bag in the lounge and preparing to go back. Wu Geng walked over hesitantly step by step and waited for a long time before finally calling her name.

Xiao Feiniao pretended to calm the fluctuating heart in his chest before he calmed down a little.

"..."

"Birds."

"……what?"

It wasn't until Wu Geng called her again that she stopped packing, and didn't look at Wu Geng. She focused on the makeup mirror in her hand, and her fingers explored the patterns and textures on the back.

She was wondering if she should wait a little longer, and whether it would be better to wait until the third call to her before responding. She tried to tell herself that she had changed, become more mature, and had grown from the blow.

Therefore, sweet words can no longer shake her delicate heart.

"Asuka, are you... still angry?"

"……What."

"that is……"

After a brief pause at the fifth update, I finally gave up on the topic.

"On the show, your name was called, Feiniao, you are not reluctant."

Feiniao took a deep breath, continued his movements, and put the makeup mirror into the small compartment close to the inside of the bag.

"No," she said, trying to sound calm and calm, "After all, it's work, and I still keep my work and private life very separate. So, no problem."

"Aren't you going to force yourself? I just subconsciously said Asuka's name. If you don't like it, I can negotiate with Staff to cut out Asuka's name during editing. I just want to talk to you, Asuka -

"

"I told you I don't care. You're too long-winded at the fifth hour."

"……All right."

It wasn't until she left at five o'clock that Feiniao dared to secretly turn his head to look at her back.

They had had several conversations like this recently, and Wu Geng always took the initiative. Feiniao felt that Wu Geng was sending out a very strong signal of wanting to reconcile, but she still had all kinds of subtle emotions that made it difficult for her to compromise.

Frankly speaking, if the relationship between Wu Geng and Xi Ye was still the same as before, it might be easier for her to find an excuse to forgive herself. However, Wu Geng and Xi Ye broke up.

It is undeniable that at that time, she did feel a little bit of dark pleasure in her heart, which was quickly buried by shame and guilt.

The trigger for all this seems to be Xiao Feiniao's fondness for Wu Geng, at least on the surface. So before the relationship between Nishino and Wu Geng was restored, Xiao Feiniao always had a slight barrier to Wu Geng.

If all this happened because of her, then if she reconciled with Wu Geng without permission, would it be considered a betrayal of Nishino?

Wu Geng thought that flying birds were easier to defeat, but in fact, he was completely wrong.

At least she was unwilling to accept Wu Geng's kindness until the relationship between Wu Geng and Xi Ye made substantial progress.

Feiniao admits that maybe he just thinks too much.

However, this is also her little obsession.
