Love Comes After Learning

Without blinking her eyes, Rui froze in place, as if digesting the words echoing in her heart.

Watched by the cheerful and gentle eyes of that group of people, she was obviously indoors, but she suddenly felt warmed by the noon sun.

Not only her face, but also her chest warmed up like never before.

...It's not the same as when facing him.

It is also different from when the only two friends get along.

It was a wonderful feeling that she couldn't describe... a sense of helplessness and a sense of powerlessness that was a little bit moved, and seemed to have no meaning.

'What the hell am I doing...'

I asked myself repeatedly in my heart, and my eyes slowly dropped to the ground, looking at the gradually loosened fists beside me.

"They are such people... They are completely different from me, they are a group of gentle guys who can openly express kindness to others even if they are being played around by emotions..."

Looking back on myself during this time, how many dirty thoughts have I filled in my heart?

Angry, jealous, jealous, cringe, sullen, awkward.

Compared with them, it pales in comparison...

No, that doesn't seem to be the case either.

Because, aren't all girls in love like that?

"Hum..."

As if he had discovered something interesting, those wine-red eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he was laughing.

"On the road that I only knew was going forward, I was a little confused, and now I was pushed back to the correct path"——

Perhaps this inexplicable definition just fits my 15-year-old self?

They all said, don't think so much.

But because of thinking so much, constantly struggling, asking myself, and worrying——

Looking back now, Tachibana Rui realizes how much she has changed.

It's like stepping on the next stage of life, like a hurdle in my heart has crossed halfway.

This is probably the first time that she smiled so easily and naturally in front of so many people, right?

"Well, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

The smile was like the ripples of a clear spring, overflowing from the small whirlpool on the girl's cheeks, and quickly rippling all over her face.

Rui just smiled like this, speaking to them every word.

"I'm really happy to be considered a friend by you. Thank you."

"..."

Everyone couldn't help being stunned for a while, and soon they were pleasantly surprised, relieved, happy, and agreed, laughing with various emotions, and the atmosphere was immediately dyed with a relaxed and cheerful color.

"...By the way, it turns out to be like this!"

Lizhu suddenly realized, and muttered to himself.

Wen Nai turned his head strangely.

"What's the matter, Lizhu?"

Rizu stared at the smile on Rui's face, and pondered subtly for a moment.

Then shook his head and smiled.

"No, nothing."

"Eh? Don't fool me~" Wen Nai became even more curious.

Because it was the first time she saw her friend showing such a mysterious expression.

Rizu didn't speak, but continued to look at Rui, feeling as if she had solved a difficult reading comprehension problem, and her mood was as clear as a cloud.

A smile that does not want others to approach.

Gradually open up the smile.

Escape the smiles that acknowledge change.

Start examining your own smile.

Decided to face the smile seriously.

Tachibana Rui's unique smile.

...It turns out that just a change in facial expression can contain so many meanings?

Ogata Rizu is still not clear, even after reading a lot of descriptions in novels, she can't fully understand the change of the other party's smile, so she can only make up words and copy them mechanically.

even so.

Seeing the girl's smile as if the ice melted, she recorded the throbbing at this moment with satisfaction.

The growth of others is also a lesson to learn

Chapter 290 Three You Are Already a Mature Male Lead, You Should Learn to...

the other side.

Asada held Kazuka, Nino, and Sanku, discussing why some people get dizzy so easily.

When he was talking about the imbalance of the third semicircular canal, Rui left Fumino and the others and walked towards him.

He has been secretly observing the movement over there, and the distance between the two sides is not far away, so he naturally heard what they said.

After realizing that the atmosphere was not something he could intervene in, Asada didn't hesitate, and took advantage of the semi-formed Shura field before, pulling the third of the quintuplets to stand beside them, chatting away as if they hadn't noticed anything.

In order not to let Rui feel the pressure of the crowd, but also to let the five people have a good heart-to-heart talk, he worked hard here, and handed over the heavy responsibility of enlightening Rui to Fumino Furuhashi.

Fortunately, Guqiao Fumin lived up to his expectations.Hearing those sincere and touching confidantes, Asada couldn't help nodding in his heart while talking nonsense to the girls.

If this is placed in other light novels, she will be a mature male protagonist, and she has learned to attack girls by herself...

And after that, Rui's refreshing and dazzling smile also moved him deeply.

Does this untie the knot in your heart and relieve you from now on?

So I have achieved my goal of letting them come to the amusement park together?

Although there is a sense of emptiness that cannot be grasped, as long as the result is All right, even if Rui is captured by Fumino, he can happily wish them a good year for Lily.

...well, just kidding.

But all in all, the relationship between Rui and her friends has warmed up, and she smiled brightly as if all the haze in her heart had been cleared away. These are two indisputable facts.

Asada couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, like the boulder on his body was cut off in half by the bombing space (The Hand). .

Ruyi walked towards him, and he also thought that he wanted to thank him or say something, so he quickly stopped the science popularization session that made the three of them drowsy, and faced her with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

Ruyi was silent for a moment, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyebrows were tightly locked as if she was thinking about something.

Asada judged silently, she should be thinking, what should she say to express her truest emotions without being shy?

Hmm, he also had that kind of period... As expected, they are brothers and sisters who are related by blood, this kind of awkward feeling is exactly the same.

Asada couldn't help but smile even more happily.

"Next, you can go shopping with them by yourself. I want to be alone."

Asada's smile froze on his face.

"..."

What about unraveling the knot? !What about the good thanks and appreciation? !

As if suspended by time, he petrified in place for a long time before speaking suddenly.

"Do you want to be alone, or are you thinking about this person?"

The corner of Ruyi's mouth twitched fiercely, her brows and eyes sank, her tone was cold.

"I don't understand what you're talking about... Anyway, I'm leaving first, and I'll call you after the silence. Goodbye."

Regardless of Asada's stunned expression, she and Ichika nodded with a smile, walked around him, and walked to the other side of the exit.

When the two passed by, she seemed to say something, her voice was like a breeze blowing past, with a hint of girlish fragrance.

Asada Shinichi didn't hold back, but turned around halfway, staring blankly at her slender and unrestrained back

It wasn't until the other party disappeared around a corner that he recovered from the confusion in his head and asked the three people beside him in a daze.

"How is this going?"

"Eh? Even if you ask us..." Yihua smiled wryly.

"It's better to catch up with her directly and ask her what she is thinking."

Er Nai raised her eyebrows at the place where Rui left, her tone was slightly displeased, but there was also a little worry in her eyes.

Sanjiu slightly tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously: "Shinichi, did you do something to make Rui angry..."

Asada frowned.

"Things that make her angry..."

After thinking for a while, he shook his head heavily.

"There are too many samples, and the root cause cannot be found."

Three people: "..."

Think about it too.

Ignoring the three speechless gazes of disgust, Asada lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to Fumino, Rizu, Yotsuba, and Itsuki, and looked at their expressions

...Well, there is a kind of daze that can't be reacted. I guess they don't know what happened?

The sense of anticipation was immediately reduced to the minimum, and Asada still asked a few questions; as expected, the answers he got were puzzled and uneasy.

"Well, did we say something wrong?"

"Probably not? Rui-chan doesn't look like she's angry either..."
