"As expected, you still can't answer? Chen Xiaofeng, you should know everything, right?"
Misaka asked relentlessly.
"Xiao Qiong, and Xiao You...or maybe there is..."
It's normal to feel embarrassed when someone asks you this.
However, what Chen Xiaofeng didn't expect was that he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Apart from not knowing how to answer, he didn't feel any difficulty at all.
Chen Xiaofeng must have recognized what he said before. He felt that he was close to the true form of the feelings that had always been vague. The person he had been missing was...
"I actually agree with your previous answer...but the difference is that I don't like to encounter annoying things."
Misaka expressed her thoughts without waiting for Chen Xiaofeng's answer. She seemed to be in no rush for Chen Xiaofeng to express his position now.
"Yeah?"
"If you quarrel with me, you will never forgive him so easily. You will definitely hold grudges for a long time and you will be very angry. If you are someone you don't want to see, you will never talk to him again."
"Oh, that's really harsh."
In other words, if Misaka had not been chosen, she would have been resented and hated for a long time... Such an ending would be really unpleasant.
"Because I hate people who hurt me."
"Yeah……"
"So... maybe I should learn from you... To be honest, I'm a little envious of you..."
"Envy?"
"Yes, even if you quarrel, even if you get angry, you will still like it in the end... This kind of relationship is really powerful. In other words, you have to accept the bad side of the other person, right?"
"Well...that's it."
"Although it feels a bit hypocritical, haha." Misaka Mikoto tried her best to look like she was smiling.
"Probably...that's it." A wry smile appeared on Chen Xiaofeng's lips.
"But... what I also envy is the person who can make you like both the advantages and disadvantages. I think that person will be very happy."
Until the end of the conversation, Misaka Mikoto's eyes did not leave the water of the canal. She did not care about Chen Xiaofeng's gaze at all. Her small hands were clenched tightly on her knees. From the side of Misaka Mikoto's face, she seemed to be desperately trying.
What to endure.
"But...I have absolutely no way to be like you, Chen Xiaofeng...that's why I don't have a good chance..."
Chen Xiaofeng was thinking about what he should say.
"I'm going back to the hotel first, Aini and the others are still waiting for me."
Misaka Mikoto was the first to say this.
"If you let me continue to stay in this place, I think I will definitely kick you into the canal."
"Why!"
"Because...as I said before, I will not forgive those who hurt me, so I just want you to get the retribution you deserve."
"Um?"
Hurt? What are you talking about? Chen Xiaofeng frowned in confusion.
"Previously...when I asked you the question, you should have already known...in your heart, who is the 'that person' you are talking about."
"Um……"
When he was talking to Misaka Mikoto, he had a vague figure in his mind. That unknown emotion came from the figure that haunted him in Chen Xiaofeng's mind.
"……sorry……"
"There is nothing to apologize for, Chen Xiaofeng, you did nothing wrong."
Maybe she was relieved after seeing Chen Xiaofeng's bitter expression, but a smile appeared on Misaka Mikoto's face.
"I……"
Then he ignored Chen Xiaofeng's words and stood up on his own.
"Then, I'll go back first."
"So...do I need to take you back?"
"No need...if that happens, I will definitely shock you to death."
"...be careful then."
"Okay... don't forget who I am."
Misaka Mikoto moved her body, then her figure gradually left, walked up the stairs, and finally disappeared.
Chen Xiaofeng was once again the only one left by the canal, and suddenly he felt that the sounds around him gradually disappeared.
Misaka Mikoto left, but left behind the sketchbook she gave to Chen Xiaofeng.
Opened it subconsciously.
Qiong painted several pictures today.
Although it's just a random sketch, in Chen Xiaofeng's eyes it's of a high standard. In Chen Xiaofeng's opinion, it can already be sold as a commodity. It's really amazing.
What will be the next one? With this curiosity in mind, I continue to turn to the next page.
"This is……"
But what follows is an unexpected painting.
This is not a painting drawn today, and the style of painting is also cartoonish.
Among the pages that are not carefully separated, there is a group of sweet paintings of lovers in various situations arranged simply and orderly.
Even without looking very carefully, you can still find that the man looks like Chen Xiaofeng and the woman looks like Qiong.
Scene 1: Meeting at the station. The clothes fit well and the hat is cute. What is different from the past? Their conversation was expressed in simple words. The girl who was praised was very happy, even when the boy called her name
Also very shy.
Scene 2: When walking together, the two of them hold hands tightly and have a good relationship. The boy will deliberately slow down a little to match the girl's pace. It seems that the whole world only belongs to the time and space of the two of them.
, all in this place.
Act 3…
All of this is similar to what Chen Xiaofeng and Qiong experienced today, but the results are not the same at all, and the process is just similar.
Today is truly an unforgettable, romantic date - at least, that's what Qiong came with today.
Using these simple lines, Qiong rehearsed her date plan with Chen Xiaofeng for this day. She just wanted to spend a pleasant time with Chen Xiaofeng...
However, because Chen Xiaofeng had never made up his mind, it was impossible for him to praise Qiong's clothes as if nothing had happened, let alone hold Qiong's hand.
So, it hurt Qiong like this.
So... what is the correct way?
The comic-style content continues, but it is not limited to today's date. There is also the daily life of living together. The girl makes breakfast for the boy. Although the boy will laugh at the girl's cooking, he will still eat it all; although the girl will
Stop the boy from playing games, but in the end you will still give him a glass of hot milk...
There are many simple drawings like this.
Chen Xiaofeng felt his chest begin to tingle, and an uncomfortable feeling began to spread throughout his body.
Slowly closed the sketchbook.
Why...has it become like this? I have obviously always noticed Qiong and always liked her - I guess I like her.
but……
It’s because of my own ambiguity and unwillingness to face it. This kind of selfishness only hurts the people around me... What on earth are I doing!
