I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

"I like you."

Ahhhh Xuejian sat up from the bed. This was too exciting. She had been tossing and turning until one o'clock in the morning and still couldn't fall asleep.

This sentence kept repeating in her mind. It was really too much.

Xuejian patted her face, got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to get a box of milk.

Without turning on the lights, Xuejian went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen as if she was familiar with the place. It was quiet all around, and the sound of the refrigerator was infinitely amplified.

She opened the refrigerator and found the milk she had hidden with the help of the dim light of the refrigerator - Mrs. Inari had expressly forbidden her to drink ice milk, and this was a box she had secretly stuffed into the depths of the refrigerator.

She closed the refrigerator, inserted the straw, and just as Xuejian was about to drink it all in one gulp, a hand reached out silently in the darkness.

"You drank ice milk again."

"Akutagawa-kun?"

The kitchen light suddenly turned on, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke held the milk carton. After feeling the cold temperature, he looked at her silently. Xuejian felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Well, you didn't go to bed."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke told her with his eyes, Aren’t you asleep too?

"Don't look at me like that. I just want to drink some ice milk."

Here it comes again. Akutagawa Ryunosuke was speechless. How come this man's temper changes from good to bad?

"I'll warm it up for you later."

He took the milk carton to the stove, poured the milk into a small milk pot and prepared to start the fire.

What a wonderful scene.

Eight hours ago, you were racking your brains to figure out how to make the person in front of you accept you, and eight hours later, this person gave you hot milk in the middle of the night.

Xuejian sat at the breakfast table with her chin in her hand, staring at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's back.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke fiddled with the kitchen utensils, he did not do it with great fanfare like he was doing to kill an enemy, but rather with caution, as if he were doing an experiment.

He must have taken off his coat in the room, and now he was only wearing a shirt with layered cuffs and suit pants. Because the cuffs were wide and easy to get dirty, he pulled them up to reveal his sickly white wrists.

Xuejian suddenly discovered that Akutagawa Ryunosuke had also lost a lot of weight recently.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke poured the hot milk into the cup and put it on the table, he found that Xuejian had a frown on her face and he didn't know what she was thinking.

"Drink."

"Oh."

Xuejian obediently picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Sweet?" He smacked his lips and tasted it carefully, discovering that it also tasted like honey.

"Yes, with honey added." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded.

Xuejian gulped down the milk, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth. Are you kidding? How could there be such a famous scene with a circle of milk foam on the corner of her mouth, pretending to be innocent and waiting for her partner to wipe her mouth with a blushing face? She would never use such a cliché. She wanted to seduce people in a more pure way!

"Akutagawa-kun, are you suffering from insomnia? Would you like a glass of milk as well?"

Of course, I'm the one who switched genders and touched the corner of my partner's mouth, hahaha.

In this way, the initiative is in my hands. No matter whether there is foam or not, I will say there is and then get started.

"No."

One sentence killed the game.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early. Accompany me to the fireworks festival tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, accompany me to the publishing house to see Mr. Toyoshima. Don't forget."

Don't be discouraged, there is still a chance.

"Your birthday?" Akutagawa raised his voice.

"Yeah, didn't I say my birthday is in the summer?"

"Oh, don't worry about it and don't prepare any gifts, because we just started celebrating birthdays together. Before that, the most we could have was a bowl of red bean rice."

Xuejian waved her hands, "You have to wear a yukata tomorrow. My birthday and the fireworks festival happen to be on the same day. I'm so excited that I can't sleep, haha."

After waiting for a few minutes, Akutagawa Ryunosuke replied with a "hmm".

Just as Xuejian was about to go upstairs, she found that although the kitchen light was turned off, Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not follow her, and his room was right next to hers.

"Akutagawa-kun?" The night vision of this body was not very good, and Xuejian could only rely on her previous memory to shout towards the vague outline.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

As she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a heavy thud from beneath her body, followed by a cry of pain.

Xuejian suddenly became anxious, "Akutagawa-kun, are you okay? Turn on the light so I can see."

"I'm fine, you can go back."

Xuejian panicked at the obvious sound of pain and took two steps at a time to walk over.

"No, come here and let me see you..."

Her fingers groping forward happened to touch the hand of Ryunosuke Akutagawa who was blocking in front of him.

They both pulled their hands back at the same time.

Xuejian screamed in her heart, it’s not like she’s touched it before, why is she so nervous?

"Um, did you fall or hit something?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's voice gradually became steady, but the sound of gasps could still be heard.

"My foot hit the leg of the coffee table."

"Oh, then come with me back to the house so I can see how badly you're hurt." As a leader of the militant faction, you tripped over a coffee table. Shouldn't you remember all the furnishings in the house by heart?

"Stop talking." Akutagawa growled, and Yukie was startled.

"Don't say it." Realizing that his reaction was abnormal, Akutagawa repeated it in his throat with a little annoyance.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Xuejian vaguely felt that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face should be red.

A bold idea came to my mind.

Could it be that Ryunosuke Akutagawa was as excited and shy as she was tonight, so he didn't dare to sleep next to her and just sat in the living room?

"Akutagawa-kun." Yukie's hand stretched forward, and when she felt it was about to touch Akutagawa Ryunosuke's shoulder, the other man turned sideways and blocked it with his arm. Yukie's evil plan succeeded, and her hand went all the way down his arm to his wrist, and then to his rough palm.

The other person tried to take his hand back immediately, but Xuejian grabbed hold of it.

"Akutagawa-kun, let me hold your hand and go back. It's too dark to see the road clearly."

Be as upright as you can be, and be as sincere as you can be.

"Akutagawa-kun, let's go."

Yukian's thumb clasped the palm of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and moved slowly, until Yukian unilaterally clasped the other's palm.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pulled his hand back, but was pulled forward forcefully.

"I'm a little night blind and might trip over the stairs, so you have to hold on to me."

Hearing this, the fingers that were originally fully opened and wanted to be eight feet away from Xuejian's hand, slowly closed and pressed on the back of Xuejian's hand, and finally interlocked their fingers.

The two of them went upstairs.

Xuejian walked in front, almost dragging the other person along, while Akutagawa Ryunosuke followed behind silently, and except for the warmth from his palm, he could hardly feel the man's presence.

But he held her hand even tighter. Although they were just holding hands in the dark, Xuejian felt like she was doing something bad, just like a rebellious girl who secretly brought her boyfriend home.

When they returned to the bedroom hand in hand, Xuejian realized that her palms were full of sweat.

"See you tomorrow." After saying that, Ryunosuke Akutagawa slipped back to his room.

After Xuejian returned, she turned on the bedside lamp and used the soft light to stroke the lines on her palm inch by inch.

Maybe I can be more proactive next time. Akutagawa is too innocent and can't stand holding hands.
