Izumi Toru was a little surprised when he heard that Shiraishi Jing wanted to stay here.
"Well, you guys have fun."
"But……"
Seeing Izumi Teru's reluctance, Bai Shijing's eyes immediately widened.
"I am the teacher, I have the final say!"
Izumi Toru: "..."
Bai Shijing was afraid that if Izumi Toru invited him again, she would not be able to help but agree.
He has obviously already rejected Jinguji... It would be too embarrassing to agree again.
Therefore, even though she obviously wanted to go, she could only stay here.
Moreover, she also needs to think about other things.
For example, the identity of the woman she saw walking out of Izumi Toru's room that morning...
Izumi, this is beyond what ordinary people can accept!
"Sister, are you really not coming with us? If there is an emergency, Igarashi will send you back..."
Bai Shijing shook his head.
"I won't go. But, Izumi, you have to pay attention to yourself."
"Huh?" Izumi Toru was a little confused.
Why did you suddenly say something incomprehensible?
"Go quickly. It's getting late. Go early and come back early."
Shiraishi pushed Izumi Toru out of the room and closed the door.
Peng!
Looking at the closed door, Izumi scratched his head.
The way Bai Shijing hesitated to speak just now made him very concerned, but it was obvious that she didn't want to say it now.
And we can’t keep Shiratori Kyoko and the others waiting too long.
He had no choice but to put his doubts in his mind for the time being.
When I walked out of the hotel, the car was already parked at the door.
Jinguji Kiyohime rolled down her car window.
"Where's the teacher?"
"I invited, but she didn't agree."
"Oh...come up."
Izumi Toru got in the car, and Shiratori Kyoko and Jinguji Kiyohime sat next to him.
The different scents of the two women mixed together and entered his nose.
Jinguji Kiyohime hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and then said to the driver: "Ohana, let's go."
"yes."
The vehicle started slowly and drove towards Uji.
...
"Izumi-kun, did you sleep well this morning? Do you need to sleep for a while?"
Jinguji Kiyohime's words immediately reminded Izumi Tooru of Shiratori's tenderness last night.
If not, there would be no need to get more sleep in the morning.
Immediately afterwards, there was the short but real dream I had in the morning.
"Well... I had a sweet dream."
"What kind of dream was it?"
"Really want to know?"
Hearing what he said, Jinguji Kiyohime became even more curious.
"What kind of dream is it?"
Izumi Toru first glanced at Igarashi Mika, the co-pilot, and then whispered into the girl's ear: "I dreamed that you secretly..." while I was sleeping.
Jinguji Kiyohime's eyes became increasingly blurry.
She felt weak all over.
The feeling of the morning came back to her again.
She reached out her hand and covered Izumi Tetsu's mouth.
"No, don't say it anymore..."
Seeing that she was shy, Izumi Toru also kept silent.
The reason why I emphasize this dream is because it is very real.
It was as if Jinguji Kiyohime was sleeping next to him.
It's like it's really like that.
Jinguji Kiyohime was too shy to raise her head.
She held onto Izumi Toru's arm tightly to relieve her inner shyness.
Kyoko Shiratori on the other side couldn't hear all the words clearly, but with just a few words, she could guess what Izumi Toru's dream was.
She also felt a little embarrassed.
In the morning, Jinguji Kiyohime took her and chatted with her for a long time, and finally asked her to go find Izumi Toru.
She took the key given to her by Jinguji Kiyohime and opened the door.
Izumi Tetsu was still sleeping, and she didn't want to wake him up. Instead, she lay beside him and poked his face from time to time.
After playing for a while, she got into bed, took his arm and put it around her waist.
His embrace was warm and reassuring, and the girl soon felt sleepy.
only......
This sleepiness completely disappeared when Izumi Tetsu started to do strange things while talking in his sleep.
He's not honest enough to sleep either.
The girl thought like this but did not stop her...
At this moment, Shiratori Kyoko, who was sitting in the car, was shyly thinking about her bold behavior in the morning, while feeling a little proud in her heart.
Izumi is a big idiot and has no idea what I did this morning.
Because the traces have been cleaned up.
Izumi Tetsu felt Jinguji Seihime breathing softly on his shoulder, and was delighted by her shyness, but what he didn't know was: his dreams were all true.
Not long after, he felt his right shoulder sink.
Shiratori Kyoko also rested her head on his shoulder.
If you stretch out your arms, wouldn’t it mean that you can hug me from the left to the right?
Just as he was about to take action, Igarashi Mika suddenly turned around and wanted to say something to Jinguji Kiyohime.
But when she saw the state of the three people in the back seat, she frowned and stopped saying what she wanted to say.
"whispering sound!"
The ice girl's dislike made Izumi Toru feel helpless.
It's not like I took the initiative.
But it was inappropriate to push this kind of thing to two girls, so he could only accept Igarashi Mika's increasingly disgusted look.
As long as you don't take action, then let it go if you don't like it.
When we arrived in Uji, it was already noon.
The four of them found a place to have lunch first, and then started shopping.
Izumi Tetsu originally thought that the four of them were traveling together, but Igarashi Mika took Shiratori Kyoko to Byodo-in, while Jinguji Kiyohime took her to the Uji River.
The water waves licked the shore and swirled downward.
The sound of the rushing water was even scary to Izumi Toru's ears.
The two walked hand in hand on the Uji Bridge. The girl's hand held Izumi Toru's hand tightly, seeming a little nervous.
Seeing her being so nervous, Izumi Toru asked with some confusion: "Qing Ji, are you afraid of heights?"
The girl shook her head.
"No, I'm just worried."
"Worried? What are you worried about?"
At this time, just as she reached the center of the bridge, Jinguji Kiyohime stopped and stared at the water below in a daze.
She did not answer Izumi Toru's question.
At this moment, a complex expression of sadness and expectation appeared on the girl's face.
Izumi Tetsu looked at her distressed face quietly, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
A long time passed.
"Izumi-kun, do you remember? You said you wanted to write me a poem."
Izumi Toru remembered the conversation between the two in the club.
[One day, I will jump into the cold Uji River to seek salvation because my heart is too hot. Well, maybe it cannot be said to be salvation. It should be said that it is my destination. When the time comes, Izumi-kun, please write a poem for me.
?]
Seeing the prayer and longing in her eyes, Izumi Tetsu always felt uneasy in his heart.
Why come to Uji River on purpose?
Do you really want to jump down?
Seeing that Izumi Toru didn't answer, Jinguji Kiyohime held Izumi Toru's hand tightly.
"You can write it!"
The joints of her fingers are slender and slender, and the skin on the back of her hands looks white from exertion.
Izumi Toru took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Qing Ji."
"Um?"
"You won't leave me, will you?"
Jinguji Kiyohime was stunned for a moment.
The next second, she smiled and patted his back.
"No, I can't bear to leave you."
"Um."
The girl stopped asking about writing poems.
Because she knew that Izumi Toru would no longer answer this question.
She put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest, feeling the peace of mind and satisfaction.
"Izumi-kun."
"Um?"
"Do you know which of the legends about Bridge Princess is my favorite?"
"Which one?"
"According to legend, a woman was so jealous that her husband married a second wife that she became a bridge princess after her death. I like this the most."
"Ah? Why?"
Jinguji Kiyohime buried her face in Izumi Tetsu's chest.
"Because, I'm jealous of your sister, your senior sister, your Shiratori, your Meiyi, and..." After hesitating for a long time, she still said the name, "...
.Mikado...I'm so jealous of Mikado...she is the one I'm most jealous of..."
The wetness on her chest made Izumi Toru panic, but the girl hugged him tightly and didn't want him to see her crying face.
Izumi Tetsu could only listen quietly as the girl murmured over and over again:
"...You don't understand, you don't understand at all..."
If you don't tell me and Igarashi doesn't tell you, how can I understand?
Izumi Toru didn't ask this question.
He always knew that Jinguji Kiyohime was hiding something from him.
