[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Kazuya is not completely unaware of Ren's intentions.

Ren thought that his disguise in front of Kazuya was perfect, but he didn't think about it. The two of them knew each other when they were young. What kind of appearance is used to hide the real self, facing his childhood friend and current sweetheart Kazuya, he will still unconsciously let go of all illusions and become the most authentic self.

And once you relax too thoroughly, then no matter how high-level your acting skills are, there will be occasional turnover failures and flaws exposed.

He also caught such a flaw several times by accident.

However, Tsuruga Ren has never expressed her feelings directly, and her attitude towards Kazuya remains the same as before.

Second come...

Just as Tsuruga Ren imagined before, in the consciousness of Kazuya, a baseball boy, he liked girls from the very beginning.

Do you see a man, or your best friend, as a possible love interest?

sorry.Kazuya really didn't have this awareness.

So I feel that Tsuruga Ren's appearance is a bit strange, and occasionally I feel a little strange in my heart because of the flaws that the other party inadvertently revealed, and before that, even though he had doubts, he really never went to "" Love" has been considered in this direction.

until now.

Until he saw in Tsuruga Lian's eyes the naked and undisguised, unmistakable... envy.

Kazuya was stunned.

And Tsuruga Lian, who is opposite him, is actually desperate!

He knew Yi Heye's keenness. When he first entered the haunted house, he didn't have time to restrain his eyes, which was enough for him to think through many things.

The reason why I don't attack right now is just because there are still many things that need to be sorted out, and it takes time to sort out my mood.

But Tsuruga Ren didn't intend to give Kazuya time to calm down and think about it.

——It’s different now than it used to be!

At such a critical moment, if he still thinks about boiling frogs in warm water and thinking about everything in the long run, he would be a fool!

At this time, either take the initiative to attack or completely shrink, there is no third ambiguous option.

And if he chooses the latter, I believe in Yi Kazuya's wisdom, he probably won't be caught by Tsuruga Lian again, and he may slowly erode his defenses.

So in a flash of thought, Tsuruga Lian chose not to hide her mind anymore.

——Since you have to say it sooner or later, why not choose the moment with the greatest chance of success?

His eyes were like water, he just stood there quietly, staring at Kazuya.

Until Kazuya recovered from the shock and met his eyes again, the palpitating tender love in the depths of those eyes remained unchanged.

He couldn't help but sighed.

"Lian, I never thought that you treat me..."

"It was only after I noticed that my eyes were fixed on you more and more, and I started to daze unconsciously, that I realized that all I was thinking about was you. I knew that there was a very good girl who liked you. In the future, my first reaction is not to be happy for you, but to worry that you will agree to date her. When I saw you, I was not happy because I was with my best friend, but simply because you are Kazuya, the person I miss... ..."

"—I never thought about it until I realized it."

Tsuruga Ren's voice was low and gentle, as if she was not making the most serious and solemn confession to Kazuya, but was just describing some trivial things that were not so important.

However, the tension, stiffness and subtle tremors hidden in his deliberately slow tone were still easily felt by Kazuya.

Kazuya has never regretted knowing too much about Tsuruga Ren like this moment.

——Because he can clearly distinguish all the most genuine emotions of the other party, he will be able to feel even more. The words and gestures contained in the other party's words and gestures are so deep that his heart is hot, strong and Hot feelings.

So He couldn't say anything to stop him.

He could only stand there in a daze, listening to the confession that Tsuruga Lian was trembling calmly, almost cutting his heart open and sending it all to him——

"When I first realized this, I was terrified."

"That's right, it's just fear."

"Because I know what mistakes I've made."

"I killed my best friend. What right do I have to talk about loving and being loved alone, to get the so-called happiness after he left this world?"

"I may not have the ability to 'love' and 'cherish' others at all."

"I thought about giving up at the time. I couldn't bear to see you hurt in any way—especially...from myself."

"But...the more I want to let go, the more I realize that I can't do it at all."

"How can I alienate you as if nothing happened? You are the most important...friend I found back with great difficulty."

There was deep melancholy in Tsuruga Ren's voice, and Kazuya's heart trembled when he heard it, but he immediately thought that this might be the "acting skill" of the other party trying to win his sympathy, so he stared back blankly——

Don't play tricks!

Tsuruga Ren just smiled at him infinitely tolerant.

"So, I can't alienate you. I want to give up my obsession with you but I can't do it at all. At the same time, I suspect that my feelings for you may end up hurting others and myself... Maybe you don't know, At that time, the thoughts in my heart were so bad and dark."

"But it's probably like her... Like Tina said, I'm still a despicable person."

"Since I can't let go, then I won't let go."

"Compared with the fear of losing you, the hypocritical idea that you are not qualified to love and be loved is a sad and illogical joke."

"Kazuya, I know you won't stand still and wait for me."

"You are the one destined to reach the top."

"Even if I follow your steps closely, there is a danger of being thrown away at any time, let alone let go of your hand voluntarily?"

Tsuruga Lian laughed softly.

There was a sense of relief and firmness in his laughter, which instantly gave Kazuya a very bad premonition...

Sure enough, in the next second, the blond young man who was less than two steps away from him leaned down, stretched out his hand before he could react, and firmly held his palm——

"So, Kazuya."

"I won't let go."

"Since you chose to 'see' me, don't turn a blind eye to me anymore?"

"Originally, I wanted to make you a little bit, like I can't leave you, can't leave me."

"Because you're still young."

"It's also because I'm far from standing at a height high enough to shelter you from all the wind and rain."

"However, there is no other way."

"Who made...you 'see' me?"

Tsuruga Ren smiled, and leaned closer to the stunned and speechless Kazuya...

However, it is not the soft and sweet touch as imagined.

——At the moment when his kiss was about to fall, Kazuya seemed to wake up suddenly, and quickly raised his palm to cover his lips...

"That's a high-handed statement, Mr. Heasley."

Kazuya narrowed his eyes, and unexpectedly, Tsuruga Ren smiled.

With almost no effort, he withdrew his hand from Tsuruga Ren's, and then took two steps back unhurriedly, keeping a safe enough distance from the latter.

"Kazuya...?"

Tsuruga Ren really panicked this time.

And seeing his decisiveness as if he was sinking a boat, and his composure and calmness, which was completely inconsistent with it, and the chance of winning... all disappeared, Kazuya raised his eyebrows, and felt a little relieved for no reason.

"Lian, have you forgotten that I am the one who has to make the final decision?"

Facing Tsuruga Ren's slightly uneasy gaze, Kazuya felt more at ease in his heart instead.

The panic, shock and bewilderment caused by the other party's sudden confession seemed to dissipate naturally at this moment.

He turned around, knowing that Tsuruga Lian behind him must be feeling nervous at this time, but miraculously, he had no intention of comforting her at all.

It wasn't until he was the only one whose footsteps continued to the end of the corridor, that he turned around, and showed an inexplicable smile to the blond boy who was staring at him with a tense expression...

"I'll give you an answer."

He also heard himself speaking calmly.

"—Just before the end of the Mingqing Festival."
