[Black Basket] To me five years ago

——"I don't dare to promise what I will do to Ayaki-san in the future, but at least for now, my feelings for you will not change."

——"I want to know your answer after careful consideration, Ayaki-san. If possible, can you come to the appointment at the Fireworks Festival at the end of July? I hope to know the answer on that day. Whether it is rejection or acceptance, I will respect Ayaki-san s Choice."

I, Ayaki Chiho, was confessed to by a classmate on the day of the graduation ceremony of the first semester of junior high school.

At this time, I somewhat understood Ryota's feeling of complaining in front of me and receiving a love letter from a girl. It was the first time I was confessed to by others, and I was so worried. Suddenly, I felt a little sympathetic to those popular people.

Turning off the video page that was still stuck after buffering for half an hour, I threw myself heavily on the bed and rolled twice, the irritability washed over my nerves again, and the pain was unbearable.

Regarding the follow-up to the incident of being confessed today, I probably agreed to go to the appointment on the day of the Fireworks Festival.In short, this is what my memory told me, and here I can tell you that it is worthless to tell everyone that after being confessed, Ayaki Chiho's mind was blank, and she slowly regained her senses after she got out of school.

After sighing for countless times, I picked up my phone and dialed the number of Xizi Ichijoji.

At times like this, I can only rely on her.

I explained this to Queen Xizi. In order to make the expression more vivid, I did not forget to exaggerate the bad mood, but the person on the other end of the phone just gave a faint 'oh', and immediately played her poisonous tongue essence: " Tsk tsk tsk, Aizawa-kun's vision is really worrying. In this world, there are still people who will fall in love with you, so be content, Chiho."

... Friends are exhausted.

Have you ever said that about your friends?When a friend is so indifferent when he is in dire straits, can he still take good care of him, Yicheng Temple Xizi!Take ten thousand steps back and say, how can I be so helpless!

"Xizi, you bastard! How can I be so bad! My mother said that I am the type that makes boys feel protective!"

"You have to be protective. If I'm a man and don't beat you up, I'll be sorry for you."

"...can you not be crooked?"

"Ahem...well, what do you want to do now?"

"I just called to ask you because I didn't know what to do."

"It's just a word if you agree or not. Do you need to waste so much thought?" Xizi Yichengsi's tone was full of contempt, obviously discriminating against my directionless reaction, "I ask you, you You like Ryota-kun, right?"

The familiar title was transmitted to every part of the brain through the eardrum, I sat on the bed with my knees bent and hugged my thigh, and gave a soft 'hmm'.

"If you like Mr. Aizawa and agree to Mr. Aizawa, do you think this is fair to Mr. Aizawa? I don't know what you are hesitating about such a simple question."

"But... Ryota and I... may not be the same as before." I lowered my voice and said, I buried half of my face in my arms, recalled the relationship with Ryota during this period, and came to this Answer.

Growing up, I have never been so neglected by him.Because we are childhood sweethearts, Ryota will always treat me well, just like I always care about him.I don't know when, this kind of thought appeared in my heart, and it has never been shaken. However, what he did recently destroyed my concept in an instant, leaving no room for it.

He did what he said to keep his distance, but he didn't care about my mood at all.

"So you just want to start a new relationship and forget about Ryota-kun? You think you're acting in a movie, Ayaki Chiho, since you feel that you and Kise Ryota can't be the same as before, can't you just start over?"

Xizi was a bit aggressive, and for some reason, I felt that she was very impatient today, but I have to admit that her words pointed out my thoughts to the point.

"Do you think it's interesting to blindly avoid it? If I were you, I would just tell Mr. Liang that I like him, and accept it if I want to accept it. If I don't accept it, I will find another person to fall in love with, show off in front of him every day, and piss him off."

There is a reason for such free and easy words, from which I can appreciate the character of Nishiko Kazujoji who can afford and let go.Acting vigorously and resolutely is Xizi's usual way of doing things, but I am different.Maybe doing what Nishiko said would make me feel better, but I don't think I can do it. I am Ayaki Chiho, not Ichijoji Nishiko.

Having said that, thanks to Xizi's bold words, I probably have a clue about how to deal with this matter.When she opened her lips lightly and was about to say something, Xizi's voice came out of the phone first: "Chiho, waiting will not lead to any good results. If you want to get something in return, go for it, even if you hit your head It doesn't matter if the blood is broken, so that when you recall it in the future, you won't regret it because you didn't work hard back then, understand?"

I nodded and responded, and I swallowed all the words I wanted to say just now.

Until the day of the Fireworks Festival, my mother knew that I was going to go out and prepared a bathrobe for me, and she didn't forget to dress me up.

Of course, I didn't tell my family why I went out. If my father found out that he was going to the fireworks festival with the person who confessed to me, he would definitely kill Aizawa-kun.

Because my mother took a lot of time to make up and dress me up, I was late for 10 minutes. Fortunately, Aizawa-kun didn’t care. After seeing me, he rubbed his head shyly and praised me for today’s dress. so cute.

After all, Ms. Ayaki Kaho personally dressed me up, no matter how ordinary I am, I can temporarily improve my appearance.

A lot of people came to the Fireworks Festival today. Aizawa-kun and I were already late, but there were still people arriving after us.Following Aizawa on the approach to the shrine, I looked up and saw the lanterns hanging on both sides of the torii gate, and climbing up the long stairs, I saw people crowded in front of the stalls.

This is not much different from the temple fairs I usually go to. Seeing this scene, I completely put aside the most important thing of the day and squeezed into the crowd to find the true meaning of the conference: masks and apple candy!

After I squeezed to the front of the crowd and bought a rabbit mask and ran out, Aizawa Yuki looked at me and smiled, then closed the distance between me and said, "Tell me where Ayaki-san is going." , so as not to be separated later.”

"Okay." I nodded, stepped back a little, and opened the distance between Aizawa-kun. The black-haired boy noticed my tiny movement, and a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

However, in the process of visiting the stalls, Aizawa-kun avoided getting separated from me, and patiently accompanied me to run here and there, and the feeling of being accompanied by someone all the time made people feel unexpectedly safe.If it's with Ryota, that guy is probably dragging me around, right?

Stop, stop, stop, stop, I came out with Aizawa-kun, it's better not to think about that guy for now.

Hinting to myself in my heart, I turned my head and looked around while walking. The dense crowd made the action more difficult to a certain extent.Suddenly, I felt a flash of gold in front of my eyes, and when I looked in that direction again, I saw nothing.

In view of the fact that there are too many people today, and it is summer, the vest was soaked in sweat after a short walk.After reaching an agreement with Aizawa-kun, we walked through the shrine and rested in the stands on one side.Leaving the crowd, the oncoming wind has a coolness, driving away the sultriness that enveloped the body.

After Aizawa and I found a bench and sat down, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to me without saying a word.

Squinting at him, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off my face with it, which did not break the silence between the two of us.

Suddenly, he called my name. For some reason, I was a little afraid of him speaking at that moment.

Our topic today is nothing more than the reply to the confession on the day of the graduation ceremony.Even though I have already determined the answer in my heart, I still find it hard to say it when I think about it. Even though Xizi encouraged me to face it bravely after hearing the answer I thought of, at this moment, I still feel that the world is full of cruelty.

Turning my head to meet the boy's eyes, I bit my lips lightly, the sweet taste of apple candy on it spread out on the tip of my tongue, I couldn't help but licked it with my tongue.

Suddenly, Aizawa-kun looked at me and laughed. A few seconds later, he suppressed the smile on his face and said quietly, "Does Ayaki know what I was thinking just now?"

"Ah...? How would I know this?"

"I was a little too happy today, so I can't help but imagine what it will be like if I date Ayaki-san in the future."

Are you dating...

As soon as this word came out, the atmosphere between the two of us froze in an instant. This feeling made me feel that every minute and every second was very tormented.

Withdrawing my eyes, I lowered my head, put my hands on my thighs and played with each other. After a while, I whispered: "Aizawa-kun, I'm really sorry, I...I can't reciprocate your feelings."

"Is that really the case..." The young man seemed to be relieved, and his tone was not as heavy as before, but it made me a little confused. Focus on me, so you can roughly guess what the result will be."

"...Sorry." At this time, I couldn't find anything else to say except to apologize. I couldn't remember what I had to say in my mind before. Facing a blank brain, I said it again 'sorry'.

"You don't need to apologize, Ayaki-san, it's because I suddenly said that and caused you trouble."

"No... Actually, that's not the case. I am very grateful to Aizawa-kun, and thank you for liking me like this. It is also because of Aizawa-kun that I can think about some things clearly. To be honest, I really admire you for being so straightforward. I don't have the courage to express my feelings freely."

"Student Ayaki, I don't know how to proceed." The black-haired boy looked at me with a wry smile, with a little helplessness in his eyes through the lens, he rubbed his hair, bowed his head The head just muttered in his mouth such words as lovelorn.

I continued to fiddle with the rough nails on my thumb with both hands, trying to figure out the time.The Fireworks Festival officially starts at nine o'clock in the evening, and there should be some time before nine o'clock. I should do what I want to do better.As soon as I had this thought, my feet uncontrollably began to clasp the ground hard, and as soon as my body moved, I stood up and bowed to Aizawa: "Aizawa-kun, I'm sorry I can't stay with you until the end of the firework festival. There are more important things to do, please forgive me."

Before he could answer, I turned and ran.

At this moment, my brain seemed to stop spinning, and it just mechanically gave me an order: go find Ryota Kise.For me now, what I should do is to find Kise Ryota and ask that guy if he really wants to alienate me. If he dares to answer yes, I will definitely beat him up without saying a word, and then tell me He's blind to me for liking someone like him.

Because I was wearing a yukata today, my running pace was very restricted. In addition, I had lost much energy after walking around for a long time. I just walked out of the stands and went to the shrine without much energy.

Leaning on a big tree outside the shrine hall and exhaling twice, I followed my heart, and when I raised my head, I saw the crowded scene in front of me.

The moment he took his right foot forward and ran forward, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist, and a voice sounded next to his ear: "I caught you."

Before I could react to what happened, I fell into a warm embrace.The familiar scent rushed into my nostrils, and the two hands around my body tightened, making me cling to his body tightly, and the cheeks leaning on my chest could feel the warmth from him through the shirt, Including his beating a little fast heartbeat made me feel it.

"Really, Xiao Chiho, why do you always like to do things that I don't expect?"

The usual language addiction, or that kind of strange address, all indicate that the person who came is Kise Ryota.

Obviously, I have seen this guy countless times, but this is the first time that my heart beats faster when I touch it like today.My fingers pulled his clothes tighter, I wanted to open my mouth to say something, but all the words turned into a simple address: Ryota.

too cool too cool too-

I kept repeating these two pronunciations, which was almost abnormal.

I want to tell him how I feel about him;

I want to tell him the dissatisfaction I have accumulated during this time;

I also want to tell him what I want to do five years from now.

Thousands of words, I want to explain to him at this moment, no matter what the result is, no matter whether I will be hit to the ground, I only know that if I don't say it, I will regret it in the future.
