[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

He also relaxed his body, let the girl in front of him pull him, and ran all the way to the finish line.

Maybe he was a little puzzled when he was pulled up by the other party involuntarily and ran suddenly, but thinking about what the other party said before, she was going to participate in the borrowing race, and Kazuya understood it almost immediately what is happening.

Of course, he doesn't mind being taken to the end by the other party as the "answer", but...

Seeing the slightly flushed but determined side face of the girl running away in front, listening to all kinds of exclamations and screams coming from all around, Kazuya sighed slightly——

If the other party draws a "person you admire" or "an object of admiration", it's fine, but if it's a "person you like"...

Although he was destined not to accept the other party's intentions, he did not intend to let the girl suffer the embarrassment of being rejected in full view.

Shaking his head, Kazuya found out with a wry smile, and went around, but he was the first to stand in someone else's position.

He tried to calm down completely.

The runway was not very long, and the girl's hand on his wrist was soft and warm, and the high ponytail on the back of his head swayed left and right as he ran, with a subtle rhythm.

The scenes presented during the borrowing race were chaotic and lively.

Because they don't know what kind of strange targets will be drawn, the players and the audience on the sidelines will look forward to it.

Every time when a contestant draws out a sign with a target object and starts to search for a suitable object, it is often accompanied by panic and laughter. From the start to the end of the runway to the auditorium on both sides, there is a mess of people on their backs. And full of laughter.

And also in such an environment, was pulled by the wrist by the girl Tiaozuka, "overcoming obstacles" all the way forward.

Gradually, all the previous complicated thoughts disappeared like a tide.

What unfolded in front of his eyes was the high blue sky before noon in autumn, and the golden crumbs of sunlight dancing between the girl's hair;

On both sides of the runway, there are enthusiastic crowds of onlookers who are either eager to make moves or gloat, and the contestants who pass by the two of them in a panic from time to time, looking for the target;

It was the bright and cheerful smiles of the boys and girls, and the silent flowing in the air, that made him smile from the bottom of his heart, full of youthful flavor...

Kazuya's heart suddenly became calm.

--yes.

This is just a very common experience in the youthful years.

Why raise it to such a serious height?

Kazuya's gaze gradually returned to focus, and once again fell on the corner of the sweetly raised mouth of the girl in front of him.

The girl's bright smile under the sun was so dazzling that it seemed to be shining the most brilliant light.

Kazuya thought, to her now, she is probably just like Xiaonan was to herself back then, a sweet, full of longing, decorated with various gorgeous colors, as long as you think about it for a while, it seems like even Breathing will also bring a sweet dream.

It's a pity that his dream was ruthlessly pierced by the cold reality back then.

And before it can be repaired, the opportunity to rebuild is lost forever.

And now, he was the one dreamed of.

Although he will feel distressed and feel a little troubled, but this is not something that should make people feel annoying or repulsive.

And also slowly, slowly smiling.

He was pulled together with the girls and became the first couple to cross the finish line.

He watched as the girl blushed and handed the crumpled paper sign with the target to the referee waiting at the finish line.

He looked at the teacher who was the referee, after confirming the above information, he was a little surprised at the two, but also smiled kindly and teasingly.

He watched as the girl was declared to have indeed met the conditions written on the paper and became No.1.

Then, he was hugged tightly by the excited girl.

The smile on Kazuya's face froze for two seconds, and then he raised his hand, as if treating an ordinary junior who was too happy, and patted the girl on the shoulder full of congratulations.

He felt the girl in his arms froze for a moment.

But soon, she withdrew from his arms, with the same smile on her face as before, raised her head, and said to him softly:

"Thank you for your cooperation, Kazuya-san."

——It seemed as if he didn't notice his silent refusal.

She's a girl who doesn't give up easily.

He also admired and thought with a sigh.

"You're welcome, Ms. Tiaozuka." His tone was gentle, "Take it as an apology for the accident before."

The girl smiled slightly when she heard the words.

Encountering cryptic rejection twice in a row, even though countless psychological constructions have been done before that, how could it be possible for her not to be affected at all?

Kazuya pretended not to notice the sudden change in her expression.

"Since you have won the championship, it's time for me, the 'little prop' who got in the way, to retire." His attitude and tone were still gentle, and he even made a small joke of himself.

Nodding to the girl and the referee teacher next to each other, he politely said goodbye: "Then, I'll be rude first." He turned around and left. end point.

***

When he returned to Uesugi’s residence, Kazuya was indeed baptized by the scorching eyes of the whole family, including Tsuruga Ren——

Uesugi's parents, who had witnessed how he was pulled away by the Jozuka girl, had ambiguous and interesting smiles on their faces. They had gone to participate in a two-person three-legged competition before, so they missed this scene, but saw the girl pulling him Tatsuya and Xiaonan, who were running towards the finish line, were curious + teasing, as for Tsuruga Ren...

He pulled the scarf up to the tip of his nose again, and all that was exposed was a pair of big sunglasses.

——One must have binocular vision to see what kind of expression he is!

He also smiled helplessly.

"Dad, Mom, what kind of expressions do you have..." He shook his head and sat back on the picnic blanket, "It's just that I was dragged to do a favor..."

Do you want to laugh so old and consolingly tacitly... ==

Haruko held her face and smiled sweetly:

"Oh, what are you talking about, you boy. If anyone can help you, why did you choose you? If you have to be pulled to help, how can you say it's just being pulled to help?" Just a favor'?"

"..." Her logical and meticulous speech was really Li Jufu and sharp, and Kazuya was speechless.

Seeing him speechless, Haruko couldn't help laughing more happily:

"So who is that girl? Kazuya, when did you meet her? How far have you developed..."

"Mom..." Kazuya interrupted her helplessly, "Don't guess, I really don't know her well. Even her name was just heard from my brother two days ago, and I almost couldn't pronounce it just now Woolen cloth."

It was really embarrassing at that time, but luckily I recalled it at an emergency, otherwise the other party would have been really embarrassing.

Seeing his serious face, Haruko stopped teasing him, but turned her head and complained to Shingo half-truthfully:

"Father, look, Kazuya is really incomprehensible, she is such a cute girl..."

Shingo was originally looking at Kazuya full of teasing, but after hearing this, he immediately looked down at Haruko and said:

"In my eyes, mother is the cutest. What did that little girl look like just now? I didn't see clearly at all."

"Yada~ Dad will say nice things to make me happy~"

"Oh~ Then are you happy~"

"..."—Well, everyone has already expressed their complete powerlessness towards this true model couple who show their affection all the time.

And also shook his head.

Turning his face around, he saw Tatsuya and Xiaonan looking at him with a smile. Seeing him looking over, the two quickly turned their eyes away at the same time.

And said in unison:

"We didn't want to say anything!"

"..." He also couldn't laugh or cry.

But since the two of them started acting guilty(?) on their own, there was absolutely no need for him to stop anything—he wished that no one would make fun of this matter, since he had no intention of accepting other girls If you want to.

He moved and moved to sit next to someone.

"Why don't you speak?"

Leaning closer, he stretched out his hand to touch the person.

Someone who couldn't see the expression clearly turned his head, and through the dark glasses, his eyes seemed to fall on his face perfectly:

"..."

——Still silent.

Kazuya felt a little bewildered, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face:

"What's wrong? Did I get something dirty on my face...?"

Tsuruga Lian remained silent.

In fact, he didn't know what he was awkward about.

However, the scene of watching He Ye being dragged away by that strange girl was played back in front of his eyes over and over again for some reason, even though he had reached out his hand in the fastest reaction to grab her, but, But in the end, it was only in vain, only holding a handful of air...

That feeling is really terrible.

It was so bad that even at this moment, Kazuya himself was sitting right next to him, and he could touch it just by raising his hand, but it seemed that the other party was taken away from him and never came back. The strange sense of peeling, but since then, it has continued until now.

The feeling of being afraid of losing something has never been able to get rid of.

At this moment, Tsuruga Lian felt an unprecedented sense of loss and panic.

Why in the end...

It was just that someone pulled Kazuya away from his face.

He has now returned safe and sound.

Why, still feel so...unable to let go?

He didn't understand.

He could only vaguely guess, probably because that scene somehow reminded him of the nightmare he had for the first time long ago, the night he realized that he might never see Kazuya again.

The Kazuya in the dream was also like this, with his back turned to him, being dragged by the hands of people who couldn't see his face clearly, and walked away without looking back.

The hand he stretched out couldn't touch it no matter what, let alone keep the other party...

It had been one of his biggest childhood nightmares.

Tsuruga Ren slightly lowered her eyelids.

However, it is no longer the same.

he silently told himself.

Now, that person is sitting next to him.

Right there...within his reach.

When he realized it, he had already stretched out his hand and grabbed Kazuya's arm firmly, firmly.

At this time, the other party was picking up an omelette and trying to send it to his mouth. When he noticed his movement, he turned his head and looked at him with some doubts:

"lotus?"

He heard him call his name in a soft, involuntarily calming voice.

"What's the matter with you?" There was the same natural concern in his tone as before.

He wanted to open his mouth to respond, but he opened his lips, but he didn't know what he wanted to say at this moment.

So, can only be silent.

However, the movement of opening his mouth seemed to make the other party misunderstand something...

"What, so you also want to eat omelets?" The other party raised his eyebrows, with an imperceptible amused look on his face.

"Then why don't you clamp it yourself... What are you doing awkwardly?"

While talking with a smile, he extended his arms and stuffed the golden egg roll picked up by the chopsticks into his open mouth.

"...Hmm!" I was caught off guard by the food that filled my mouth, and I could only chew hard subconsciously, trying to regain the freedom of my mouth.

His slightly surprised and embarrassed look made the culprit very happy, and he pursed his lips and chuckled.

That smile was bright and beautiful, just like in memory.

Tsuruga Lian raised her hand and stroked her chest again.

In the chest cavity, the heart began to beat irregularly and violently again...

——I always feel that something is different.

While chewing the egg roll without the image of a national male god, he thought absently.
