Unaware of someone's subtly displeased mood, Kazuya is still trying to recall the name of the girl opposite——

He remembered that Tatsuya had indeed mentioned it to him before.What is it called...

what!correct!

"Miss Jozuka?"

"You can just call me Xiaoxiang, classmate Kazuya."

The girl said with a smile.

She was wearing a girl's sports school uniform, and the sports shorts that reached the thighs could not hide her slender and beautiful legs. She stood there in a pretty way, and almost instantly attracted the attention of more than half of the men nearby.

And also feeling a bit of a headache.

The Uesugi family deliberately chose an unobtrusive corner of the boys camp to sit down, in fact, to slightly cover up the powerful hormonal force field of a certain male god beside him who was covered in sunglasses, low-brimmed hat and scarf. .

And so far they've been doing it with some success.

Although Kazuya and Tatsuya are indeed influential figures in school, the boys are not as eager to pay attention to the two of them as the girls, and they will not keep staring at them, and they will not be concerned about the sudden appearance of their family members. The strange and handsome man in the camp felt curious—after all, it was a sports festival that his family members participated in. At this time of year, there are not too many people who don’t know each other in school. Whose family has so many strangers in the camp? , and nothing surprising.

So the whole family and Tsuruga Ren have lived very peacefully and comfortably until just now.

But now Jotsuka is here.

This girl is extremely popular on campus, and it is said that she is only a little worse than Xiaonan. Kazuya didn't really feel what Tatsuya said at the time, but now he can really feel the eyes of men who are constantly focusing around him. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

"What's the matter, Ms. Jotsuka?"

Even if I am a little worried that Tsuruga Ren will be exposed to only a pair of sunglasses (the scarf has been pulled up by someone, firmly covering the lower half of the face→_→) After recognizing it, Kazuya's tone of asking the girl was still gentle and kind, without any impatience.

It's just that he selectively ignored the girl's practice of asking him to call him by his name directly, and in exchange for the other party's slightly regretful and unwilling mouth:

"You can just call me Xiaoxiang..." She muttered softly, but soon showed the same bright and sweet smile as before:

"It's nothing. It's just that it will be my turn to participate in the competition soon. The waiting place is over there. When I was observing the environment, I happened to see Kazuya sitting here, so I wanted to come over to say hello."

As she spoke, she turned her head and gestured to the opposite side of the runway not far away.

Kazuya subconsciously looked in the direction she indicated, and saw that a group of girls had already gathered there, and they were all looking at this place at this moment. Call……

"Yeah, it's Kazuya-kun!"

"He's looking at me! Looking at me!!!"

"Nonsense! Kazuya-kun saw that it was me!"

"it's me!"

"I!"

"..." He also looked back in embarrassment.

Jotsuka girl didn't seem to be surprised by this development.

"It's really popular, Kazuya-san." She sighed with a smile.

He didn't know whether he should answer "Thank you for the compliment" at this time, so he just smiled silently.

The girl's eyes became brighter.

"The next thing I'm going to participate in is the loan race. Will Kazuya cheer for me?" She looked at Kazuya expectantly.

Under such expectant shining eyes, Kazuya nodded softly:

"Of course. Please do your best, Ms. Jozuka."

After speaking, the girl's entire face seemed to be completely lit up, showing a very satisfied and sweet smile.

"Yes! I will work hard!"

She bowed abruptly to He Ye, then turned and ran away.

Kazuya stared blankly at her back, and for a moment, he felt like smiling——

Tatsuya was right.

This girl... likes him.

I'm trying very hard to like him.

Although Kazuya has no intention of responding to the other party's intentions - what he wants to focus on right now is baseball and Koshien, and he doesn't intend to add other things on top of this, but this kind of focus and seriousness , the feeling of working hard and actively liking...

Kazuya thought, probably no one would find it annoying.

It's a little tricky now.

I really can't bear to hurt such a girl.

He thought with some headache.

On another second thought, he suddenly thought that at such a time, it would be better to ask his friend for help—the face of the other party is much more lethal than his, and he has lived in a foreign country with a bolder and more open style for many years. Presumably, in this regard, he should Very experienced, right?

Kazuya was thinking like this, but when he turned his head back, he almost bumped into someone's face behind him who was only a fist away in horror...

"lotus?!"

He had a look of shock on his face.

What happened? This is, why did you get so close...

Ren Tsuruga, who covered her chin with a scarf and only exposed a pair of big sunglasses, stared at him silently.

This... There is no way to guess what the other party is thinking from the eyes and expressions of the other party, okay...

Kazuya == face: "What are you doing, Lian."

"You seem very happy?" The other party answered irrelevantly, "Why?"

"..." Kazuya was questioned for a moment, and he was silent for two seconds, his cheeks flushed slightly: "Probably because, although it is unreasonable to find that I am loved so seriously, it is true at that time." For a moment, I felt that my existence was recognized and praised... something like that."

"... Huh?" The completely unexpected answer made Tsuruga Ren's cold face (although it was impossible to see through various obstacles) broke in an instant.

"What the hell are you thinking..." After a moment of sluggishness, he suddenly hugged his belly and laughed, "Even if you say that you are a little happy because you found out that you are seriously liked, I would It's understandable—no one would be unhappy to see themselves being liked, but what about those feelings behind..."

What "one's own existence is recognized and praised" is too literary and artistic as an impression, right?

I also felt that Kazuya, who seemed to have uttered a line that was not right, was a little blushing and shy, but now he calmed down seeing Tsuruga Ren wanting to beat her ground and laugh wildly.

"Oh? So Lian, you think it's funny that I'm serious about expressing my thoughts to you as my best friend?"

He asked in a nonchalant tone.

Tsuruga Lian straightened her face and sat up straight:

"No, no! Absolutely not!"

"Heh." Kazuya only smiled lightly, and continued to stare at him silently.

Tsuruga Lian's scalp is about to explode!

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made fun of you." After insisting on looking at Kazuya for a while, he finally drooped his shoulders and apologized a little wearily.

He knew what he was doing was inappropriate.

But... I don't know why, but I don't want to affirm Kazuya's happiness at all.

Perhaps it was because of Kazuya who turned his head, the smile at that moment was so beautiful, right?

So beautiful, he didn't want that smile to be caused by a strange girl whom he didn't even know who it was...

Tsuruga Ren raised her hand to caress her chest.

In the chest cavity, there was the sound of the heart beating violently.

——It was more surging than ever before.

Just like that summer, Kazuya propped up his trembling legs, supported him with his small body, and led him out of the long tree-lined path that seemed to never end.

The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, the gurgling sound of the gradually receding creek, the staggering, but never-ending, staggering footsteps, came clearly from a very close distance, and the child was trying his best to Breathing, and the continuous rough panting sound...

It was the brightest and warmest picture that remained in his memory even after many years had passed, allowing him to support himself to move forward even in the darkest years.

For some reason, he recalled that memory from a long time ago. The bright smiling face in the memory gradually overlapped with the face of the boy who was about to get angry but still smiled at him helplessly. Tsuruga Ren blinked. Blinking, and blinking again, he suddenly felt a real feeling that maybe until now, he really felt that he had found the boy in front of him.

He reached out and touched his face lightly.

"lotus?"

"It's nothing. Sure enough, it's more suitable to laugh. I'm sorry, I didn't react correctly before. I shouldn't laugh so much. Forgive me."

"..." He said it so solemnly, Kazuya felt that he was the one who overreacted.

"It's okay." He waved his hand, "It's because I was thinking too much myself. Your reaction, Lian, may be just right, and it made me wake up from the state of feeling good about myself—"

"That's right. Since you obviously didn't intend to accept the other party's kindness, then you really shouldn't show the same reaction as before."

He shook his head and chuckled.

"Eh?" Now it was Tsuruga Lian who suddenly raised her eyes to look at him in surprise: "'I didn't intend to accept the other party's kindness'? I thought..."

You acted so happy that you thought you two were in love...

When Kazuya saw his reaction, he immediately showed annoyed expression: "Sure enough, I didn't react right before? Lian, if you misunderstood..."

What would the Jotsuka girl who is the person concerned think?

Oops, did he unknowingly be too gentle again, creating unnecessary illusions?

And also frowned tightly.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood, Tsuruga Ren immediately spoke out to comfort him, even though she hadn't cleared up her own mood:

"No. It's not like that, Kazuya."

Your attitude when facing that girl was indeed very gentle, but in that kind of gentleness, there was no ambiguity that could be misunderstood.

What really made him feel uncomfortable was the smile you showed when you turned around and asked if you were happy...

"You didn't give any inappropriate response. If you take your usual gentleness as an affirmative reply, it can only be said that the other party will have a wrong meaning, or that they don't understand you too well."

Tsuruga Ren categorically asserted this.

"lotus……"

Because of his determined attitude, Kazuya was indeed well comforted.

Xiaonan once said that He Ye is too gentle, because he is too gentle and does not want to hurt anyone, and cares too much about other people's feelings, so He will not live long.

It is really a prophecy.

So after reliving the whole life, Kazuya is still gentle, but he is unwilling to be the self who is so gentle that he puts everyone before himself.

This time, he wanted to live a long life, to live with his parents and elder brother for a long time, and to never... see the tears of the most important people.

So far, he seems to be doing just fine.

With a long sigh of relief, he smiled at Tsuruga Lian as usual:

"It's great that I didn't cause misunderstandings... By the way, Lian is really good at this kind of thing."

"Huh?" Unexplainably dubbed an expert, Lian is actually a rookie in love.

Kazuya didn't intend to explain anything. Seeing that the two-person three-legged match between Tatsuya and Xiaonan was about to start, he turned his head and concentrated on joining his parents, and began to cheer for the two.

Seeing this, Tsuruga Lian felt relieved.

Although he doesn't know what he is in "An", in short, Kazuya and that girl should not have any follow-up development.

That's fine.

He thought peacefully... What a ghost!

A few minutes later, seeing the girl from before suddenly appearing out of nowhere, grabbing Kazuya before she could react, pulling him up and running away, Tsuruga Lian looked at herself in vain. He stretched out, but did not hold Kazuya's hand, and for a moment, he showed an extremely noble gentleman's smile——

well.

This is really... very good.
