Chapter 195 In the snowy sky, the seven bright moons in the sky want to give up
"It's still snowing as expected."
The next day, Kanbaru opened the window when he woke up in the morning. The cold air suddenly penetrated into the house along the cracks and swept in. This made him shiver all over and he quickly closed the window.
Is it already this cold in November this year? He couldn't help but think to himself, looking around, his grandma's house looked very dark, as if there was an invisible shadow shrouding it.
The wind outside the window made the old windows creak, giving people a feeling of loneliness.
After getting up and putting on warm winter clothes, Kagura Le went downstairs to prepare a cup of hot water to drink.
When passing by his sister's room, he pushed aside the barrier and took a look inside.
On a bed with a white quilt, Kanbaru Suzu was still asleep. She wrapped her body tightly in the quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis, as if she wanted to lock herself firmly in the quilt.
"That means I won’t kick the quilt off in winter."
Close the shoji with a hiss.
Stepping on the stairs that made strange wooden wooden noises, Kanbaru went down to the first floor.
The corridor leading to the living room and kitchen requires passing by the entrance hall. Kanbaru accidentally glanced over there and suddenly found that the entrance door was ajar.
Why is the door open?
If you look slightly to the left, you will find a half-girl figure standing outside.
He thought to himself, it should be Qimingyue.
Kambara zipped up her cotton-padded jacket, put on outdoor shoes, opened the half-open door and walked out.
The glare of the day almost made it impossible for Kagura Raku to open his eyes for a moment, and the cold air kept creeping into his body from his collar like crazy, causing the remaining warmth in the bed to suddenly extinguish after getting up.
Kambaraku shivered again and looked forward again.
I saw the girl standing quietly in the snowy sky, looking at the distant fields and the snow-covered mountain ridges in the distance...
Kanbaru didn't know what she was doing, but she could only see that her long flaxen hair was stained with many tiny white snow spots, as if she had been standing for a long time.
The wind and snow that can obscure the lake's sight also seem to make her figure become ethereal...
Kanbaru held the snow on his head and approached her.
"Qi Mingyue, you're going to catch a cold standing here."
"...I know." She replied.
"Then why are you still here?"
Qimingyue Tianhai looked up at the swirling white snow: "Because I have never seen such heavy snow, and the sky was covered with snow."
"So, you came out to see the snow?"
"Hmm. Do you want to know what I was thinking just now?"
"I don't want to."
Tianhai Qimingyue ignored his refusal and said to herself: "I was thinking that on such a cold day, if an unpopular person was buried in the snow like this, few people would be sad for her.
Right."
......
"What are you referring to?" Kanhara heard something was wrong and asked quickly.
Tianhai Qimingyue returned her gaze and stared at Kambara's expression for a long time.
"Are you... anxious? Do you think I will do something stupid?"
"...I think Qi Mingyue, you are indeed the kind of person who will say nothing and then disappear silently."
"It seems that you are still worried about my absence."
"What did you say just now?" Kanbaru asked worriedly.
"You want to ask me if I have that kind of thought?"
"Yes."
"I can only answer that I have." Tianhai Qimingyue brushed the snow off her body and said, "Okay, are you ready to go on a date with me today?"
"Not just watching a movie?"
"Do you believe it? Does sister believe it?"
"You believe it, you believe it, I believe it, I believe it."
Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her arms and had no intention of arguing with him.
Kagawa Raku sighed, "Then you should go back to the house first, so as not to catch a cold later. We will go back when the snow subsides."
Tianhai Qimingyue did not refuse, but when walking back to the house, she suddenly asked Kaname Yuara: "Are you still looking forward to staying with me?"
"...To say that there is none at all, then I'm just lying to myself."
There seemed to be an unnoticeable smile on Tianhai Qimingyue's lips. She closed her eyes and walked towards the entrance: "You are now one step closer to being a scumbag."
"Even so, you have to understand that it is impossible for me to leave Jiuliuli now... If I do anything that I feel sorry for Jiuliuli again, I'm afraid she will behave in that extreme way."
"Afraid that my sister will commit suicide?"
"I'm afraid she'll stab me with a knife, and you too."
The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea smile after a long time.
.......
Naturally, Kanbaru Raku wanted to talk to Kanbaru Suzu about going out.
She rarely leaves the bedroom in winter and likes to lie on her bed and play game consoles.
"What? Are you going to the city today?"
"Hmm."
"Going to see grandma?
"That's right..." Kanbaru Raku wasn't lying. He had gone to the city, and he definitely wanted to see his grandma before coming back.
Kanbaru Suzu crawled under the quilt with her head on the quilt. When she heard that he was leaving, she put down the game console.
She also lowered her voice and lowered her eyes.
"I feel like I haven't been able to see you much lately..."
Kanbaru leaned back with his right hand, sat on the tatami and smiled at her: "Do you miss my brother?"
"I wanted to...can you stay and play games with me?" Kanbaru Suzu took out the game console from the heated bed and looked at him with her purple eyes.
"Your brother is not a superman, so he can't be separated."
Kanbaru Suzu was disgusted with her face: "Then you used to brag in front of me that you could do anything!"
"Isn't that just to make you feel at ease?"
Kanbaru Suzu-chan buried her face into the pillow, like a ball of anger, "Then let's go."
"Let me go?"
"I have nothing to do with you. I'm just your sister. Even if you fall in love with someone else, it has nothing to do with me."
"Why do you say this so angry?"
"This is a fact!"
With her face buried, Kanbaru Suzu kicked her feet up and down under the quilt.
Probably because her head was stuffy for a long time and she couldn't breathe, she suddenly raised her head and said again with messy hair:
"But as we agreed before, my birthday is coming soon."
"I know, I know, I know what you mean."
Kanbaru Suzu put her face sideways on the pillow: "I don't have to ask for a gift. It would be great if you could say happy birthday to me and come to the company to pick me up on a rainy day like before... I didn't do that before.
People remember my birthday... Mom is busy... but you are the only one who remembers to say happy birthday to me."
Happy birthday...
Kanbaru inexplicably thought of the completely different Qimingyue from before.
Everyone seems to feel very strongly about this sentence.
"Oh, Ah Ling, let me say what if...if I hate you, 100%, what would you do?"
"Really 100%?"
"It's 100% annoying. Of course, I'm talking about what if."
Kanbaru Suzu pouted and thought for a while, drawing circles on the tatami with her fingers: "If you really hate me, then I...I won't pay attention to you...I'll just ignore you if you don't see me. Who cares...a little bit?"
It’s not surprising..."
She whispered like this, her voice getting slower and slower, and then, Kambara noticed that there was suddenly some crystal water in the corner of her eyes. Before he could see it clearly, Kambara suddenly plunged her head into it.
In the pillow.
She hammered the tatami up and down with her fists, as if struggling unwillingly.
"It's so annoying! Why are you asking this kind of question?"
Why ask this question?
On the one hand, I want to ask A Ling Qi Mingyue's possible reaction, and on the other hand, I want to understand Qi Mingyue's mood.
Depression, chest tightness, discomfort.
Now he has experienced it.
To be honest, Kanbaru doesn’t want to do this either.
Just like before, everyone is happy, isn’t it nice?
Qi Mingyue’s little devil’s character is also quite interesting.
Speaking of which...since the fireworks display, Qi Mingyue's personality seems to have become more and more cold.
Kanbaru felt that she was no longer like the naughty sister who teased her sister and then called him her "sister's boyfriend" when they first met...
Qi Mingyue... seems to be getting more and more unhappy.
......
After the snow subsided, the bus stopped in downtown Songshan.
Although they were going to see a movie together, Kambara Raku and Amami Qimingyue didn't exchange a word on the bus.
Even when I walked to the cinema, I only said a few words.
The movie is an ordinary niche literary film. It tells the story of the protagonist, Miss Ichiko, who returns to the countryside to take care of her grandma in the city. After experiencing the quiet death of her grandma, her only relative, Miss Ichiko, who has lost her goals, decides to leave everything behind and have a fight.
A trip that belongs only to you.
Kanbaru Raku can watch this kind of movie, because sometimes he also thinks, a long journey...sounds pretty good.
Of course.
While Kanbaru Raku was watching the movie, he did not forget to be wary of Tenkai Nanamiyue sitting next to him.
I guess she might secretly pull her hand and put it under her skirt or something strange.
But...
Not really.
Tianhai Qimingyue sat quietly in that position throughout the whole process, watching the movie silently.
No unusual behavior at all.
Let’s talk about the only interaction between her and herself.
That's when she handed herself the endless popcorn.
After watching the movie, it was one o'clock in the afternoon when we came out.
There is light snow falling over the city, and there are scattered pedestrians on the streets. Most people choose to bury their faces in thick scarves, put their hands in their pockets, and walk quickly.
At this time, the two of them haven't had lunch yet.
Kagura Raku didn't take any initiative when he went out this time. Qi Mingyue was leading him around the whole time.
She thought she would choose some restaurant to eat, but unexpectedly she chose a roadside ramen shop. She ordered a clear soup beef ramen from the uncle inside.
Naturally, Kanbaru followed her and ordered the same ramen and sat down.
The ramen was finished quickly.
"Take it."
"What?"
"Paper to wipe your mouth."
"Oh..." Kanbaru took it blankly, "Thank you, thank you."
Tianhai Qimingyue did not respond.
After that, the two didn't say their destination, they just got up and walked slowly in the city.
Seeing that Tianhai Qimingyue still had nothing to say, Kanbaru couldn't help but be curious and asked her:
"Didn't you say you don't like ramen?"
"I don't like it."
"Why don't you speak?"
"I'm very tired and don't want to talk."
Tianhai Qimingyue had no intention of continuing to speak, and the topic came to an abrupt end.
The two walked to the playground in Songshan City.
Tianhai Qimingyue looked up and then walked in.
Ferris wheel project.
"Are you sure you want to go in and sit down?" Kambara asked.
"Sit down."
Tianhai Qimingyue said so and went to line up without saying a word.
There are quite a few people riding the Ferris wheel on this day, probably because it snowed heavily in the morning.
When Qi Mingyue was lining up, many boys around her stared at her.
Her eyes were visibly hot, but no one dared to go up and talk to her.
I'm afraid this is the temperament cultivated since childhood... Kanbaru thought to himself.
"Take it."
Tianhai Qimingyue bought two tickets and handed one of them to herself.
Kambara and she were waiting under the rest pavilion. The amusement park was decorated with snowflakes, and most of the children were running happily in the open space, making the place full of childlike colors.
"Why is Qimingyue so weird today?"
"Shouldn't it be normal?"
"It's too normal to be weird. Wait, you're not really going to do something stupid, are you? Today is your farewell to me before we leave."
"I won't do it if I say no," Tianhai Qimingyue said indifferently. She stood up and looked at the man and woman walking off the Ferris wheel, "Okay, it's our turn."
"Oh."
The Ferris wheel slowly lifts into the sky.
You can even see the iconic castle tower in the center of Matsuyama City.
The whole city is shrouded in snow.
Although we rode the Ferris wheel together, Tianhai Qimingyue didn't sit next to her. She sat across from her alone, with her little hands with half-covered cuffs flat on her legs.
Wearing several layers of white scarves, she tilted her head, breathed in the hot air, and looked at the city outside the Ferris wheel.
The same strange environment.
Got off the Ferris wheel.
Tianhai Qimingyue took him all the way to the amusement park to visit various facilities.
I tried all the roller coasters, pirate ships, big pendulums, etc.
Although it’s a bit strange and I’m concerned about Qi Mingyue’s condition.
Overall, it was a good experience after playing it.
Later, I went to the amusement park to buy skewers, banana chocolate, and takoyaki... Every time I bought these foods, Nanimingyue would ask Kanbaru if she wanted one.
Most of them answered that they wanted one.
In this way, except for the haunted house, the two of them visited the amusement park.
I also ate it all over.
Qimingyue doesn’t seem to be tired, but Kanhara Raku is.
Some projects were so exciting that he couldn't stand it, but Tianhai Qimingyue showed no expression during the whole process.
The time also went from 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
It's getting dark.
Kagura Raku was sitting on a bench in the amusement park, looking at the ice sculptures in front of him that had been carved overnight in recent days. The colorful neon lights of the amusement park illuminated his face, and from time to time there were children screaming excitedly from a distance.
Conveyed.
"Take it."
"Milk tea?"
"Well, it's for you."
Kambara did not refuse and took the milk tea she bought, tentatively touching the hot cup wall with both hands.
The warmth came through the palms, and the chill in the body seemed to dissipate a lot.
Tianhai Qimingyue sat down next to him and looked with him at the ice sculptures with different expressions in front of them, as well as the children playing in the snow under the ice sculptures.
At this moment, the snow is still flying in the night sky.
"Are you curious?" After Tianhai Qimingyue took a few sips of milk tea, her voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Kanbaru turned her head and found her eyes staring at the milk tea in her hand.
"I'm very curious."
"Do you think I will have any plans against you if I call you out today? And then you will be on every possible precaution against me today?"
"Yes."
Tianhai Qimingyue pondered for a while, and scratched the wall of the milk tea cup with her fingertips: "Everything today is my first time to try it."
"Including ramen?"
"This is my first time eating ramen with someone."
"Okay."
Tianhai Qimingyue's voice was as clear as lake water: "...No one has ever been willing to take me to do these things, and I have never experienced them."
"Including watching movies and going to the amusement park?"
"Yes," Tianhai Qimingyue agreed, "My sister and I have never gone to the movies or to an amusement park. The only experience we had when we were young was when my mother took my sister and me to travel to Ehime Prefecture...
Although I still practice piano most of the time."
"..."
"So, I want to try it today."
"Very good."
......
"I like you."
"...Hmm."
"So...the main thing I want you to do today is stay with me. Even if you don't come into contact with me, it doesn't matter. Just stay with me."
"Today...is it that simple?"
"Well, it's that simple."
The air solidified again.
Why, why did Tianhai Qimingyue say these words without any heaviness, but said these words very easily.
However, Kanharale always feels... so depressed...
"Didn't you ask me before why I suddenly took you to take wedding photos?"
"Yes."
"...I know you don't remember, but I remember it very clearly. It was the wedding of Mr. Nonaka and Miss Tomomi. Grandma took you to attend. I happened to be looking for you at the time, and I went there along the way...
....The wedding was very successful and happy.”
Tianhai Qimingyue holds the steaming milk tea, and every time she speaks, a faint mist floats out of her mouth.
"I still remember clearly that everyone's faces were smiling, guests, neighbors, family members, parents, everyone was laughing, applauding, and blessing Mr. Nonaka and Miss Tomomi...
"That was also the first time I saw a wedding, the first time I saw...I was very envious of that scene. I also wanted to wear such beautiful clothes, and I also wanted everyone to smile at me like this.
...At that time I said, 'I want to wear that dress', and you said to me, 'I'll take you to wear it if I have a chance.' I asked why, and you replied that I was very cute and it would look great on me.
It looks good... Then I nodded and you smiled... You know, the moment you smiled, my heart was full of trust.
"I believe, and I also look forward to, that there will be a moment...
"But the day after that, I went back to Tokyo."
The light in the distance outlines the face of Tianhai Qimingyue. The moment her eyes overlap with the light, all the pictures become hazy.
Kanbaru doesn't know what to say.
He was thinking about why he said those words at that time...
Probably, maybe, maybe... I just want to coax the children.
But if you think about it carefully, you may very well be just saying whatever you want.
But... the person in front of me remembered it until now.
This feeling is too heavy.
"Isn't it ridiculous? I still remember you said that no one would take what you said as a child seriously...and I actually took it seriously. Am I pitifully stupid?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked him calmly.
Kagura Raku was silent again.
"After that... of course I know that you probably said it to me casually, and maybe you didn't take it to heart at all... My father doesn't come home every night, and my sister wants to listen to her mother and practice piano...
..When I am alone, I will climb up to the roof and look at the moon. I will always think about the wedding that day and what you promised me... What if it is true, what if he still remembers it.
.... Facts have proved that fools will always be fools and will only believe what they want to believe."
These words of Qiming Yue made Kanbaru feel so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.
"I like you."
"..."
Kanbaru feels sorry for Qi Mingyue, she really does.
But then I remembered getting up early in the morning to pack my clothes.
"Look, I confessed again and again, and each time I was rejected. I'm...tired...are you tired too? Isn't it difficult to make a choice between me and my sister every day?
”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"...Yes."
"I know I shouldn't attach so much importance to what happened when I was a child. I couldn't change it before... But now, I think I should try to change it."
"..."
"Let's make a change."
"Okay. How to change?"
"If you agree to my request, I promise to treat you as my adopted brother from now on, and we won't have to be so tired from now on."
"What's the request?"
"Be my boyfriend for one hour."
"...Why this."
"You understand why I want to say that."
Kanbaru understands that...she is almost a sick person in her heart.
"Are you satisfied with this?"
"How can I be satisfied? It's just that I will start to try to let myself go. I like you, but you always ignore me. Every time I see you and my sister, I feel dissatisfied. I don't want this. Promise
How about I come back, even if it’s only for a while?”
"..."
"I like you." Confession again.
But still no response.
"Why don't you agree? You've completely cut off your relationship with me, okay? Nothing will bother you and my sister in the future."
"I agreed," Kanbaru took a deep breath, then looked at her, "What do you want from me, your one-hour boyfriend?"
"Kiss me, then take me to the night market, and then go home."
"..."
"Hesitation will only make things more uncomfortable."
"..."
"You just want a moment, and you won't agree to it?"
"..."
Indescribable emotions oppressed Kaname Yuara's brain, Qi Mingyue's feelings, her words, she was almost a request for prayer.
Obviously he has agreed to be her boyfriend for one hour.
But still hesitating.
Kagura calmed down and looked at the seven bright moons in the sky that were waiting for him.
She sits very upright and can be said to be very well-behaved and reserved.
Dear.
No, I have to kiss you.
If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.
After promising Qi Mingyue, her life would get back on track, and she also promised to treat herself simply as a sworn brother.
She was tired of confessing her love, and she felt heartbroken when she rejected her again and again.
This time, let’s make a difference from what happened before.
Scumbag?
I am a scumbag to begin with.
Kambaraku took Tianhai Qimingyue's hand and took the initiative to kiss her thin pink lips.
The seven bright moons in the sky met his movements just in time, and he closed his eyes in the twinkling lights of the carousel behind the bench.
Soft and sweet, mixed with the fragrance of milk tea, rippling in the mouth.
......
This is...the fourth time.
Do you want to say that you don’t like Qimingyue?
No, it’s impossible not to like it.
The things I had with her before were either happy or uncomfortable.
Every time I see her showing a different side, I feel happy.
Even if I used a loudspeaker to call myself a fool on the street last time, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
I like to see Qi Mingyue’s face, her legs, and her teasing sometimes intentionally or unintentionally.
Although I embarrass myself every time, I really feel it.
There are also scenes of her confessing her love again and again, and the scene of her clinging to his back when he carried her on his back.
Quiet and a little warm.
These things are like a revolving door, flashing back in my mind at the moment of kissing.
Yes, I do like Qi Mingyue, and it is difficult for me to let go of her.
But now...it's all over.
......
......
......
Katcha.
When Kanbaru heard the sound of taking photos, he immediately withdrew his mind.
Looking again, Tianhai Qimingyue, who was sitting opposite him, had a mobile phone in his hand at some point.
And what was on the phone was a picture of him and her kissing on a bench.
This made him unbelievable.
"Seven Bright Moons...?!"
Kaname Yuara suddenly and immediately had the idea of snatching the phone from her hand.
But I haven’t taken action yet——
"It's useless," Tianhai Qi Mingyue said directly while holding her mobile phone. "The photos are automatically backed up in the cloud. No one can get them without my password."
"You——?!"
"Think I will give up? Think I will take the initiative to admit defeat?" Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes were as cold as ice, "I tell you, Kanharale, it's impossible, I want you to be responsible. Your mistake is that you shouldn't have treated me once, twice or three times.
So good, I have remembered it for more than ten years, and just like this, you are going to make me forget it all?"
Finished.
Kanbaru knew that he had been tricked.
This whole day, Qimingyue has been brewing this atmosphere!
Make him agree, force him to agree.
Angry, annoyed, regretful.
Also, depressed...
Kanbaru sighed, convinced, he was really convinced by her.
"Not only photos, but also videos. You kissed me for two minutes just now. Tell me, if my sister sees this scene again, and it was you who took the initiative, what would her expression be like?"
Although I can understand Qimingyue.
But Kagawa Raku is really angry.
"You lied to me, what about what you promised?"
"Promise to treat you as my 'adopted brother'? This is absolutely fine. Does it conflict with the relationship I want?"
"..."
You, you are awesome, okay.
"Besides, how many times have you, Kamigahara, lied to me since I was a kid? Just say you forget and you can write it all off? Don't even think about it."
Kagura Raku cannot refute.
This... is indeed the cause and effect planted by oneself.
Isn't it all the sin he made when he was a child?
Aren’t you just repaying yourself for what you did when you were a child?
Although this is the fact, why am I so aggrieved?
Moreover, and I just thought so much.
He also made it clear that he really likes Qi Mingyue.
I want to be angry but I can’t.
A beautiful girl is still clinging to him, Kanhara Raku really... doesn’t know what to do!
"What are you going to do with this photo?"
"Have you figured it out?"
"Yes, that's right, I like you, and I, Kamigahara, have feelings for you."
Tianhai Qimingyue's expression is very thought-provoking: "Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? Admit it earlier, and there is no need to develop into what it is now. Besides, you are a scumbag."
Yes, I am a scumbag.
I am!
Kanhara smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't this what you want to see?"
"I won't send the photos to my sister for the time being. I want you to think carefully about how to deal with this matter in the next few days."
"Okay..."
When Kaname Yuara shouted this word, he knew what his life would be like in front of Jiuliuli.
