[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Not knowing that the unconscious emotion in her smile was keenly sensed by Kazuya, Tsuruga Ren leaned slightly, as if covering Kazuya from the side, and leaned closer to his ear——

"Dating?"

He lowered his voice, which had already stripped off the youthful youthfulness and replaced it with the calm and elegant voice of a young man. Because of this deliberate lowering, he added a bit of ambiguous sexiness, which felt very comfortable to the ears. It was as if a feather gently brushed over the ear with the softest gesture, causing an indescribable trembling and numbness...

He tilted his head uncomfortably, avoiding his lips that were too close.

"Nah."

Not sure if someone's deliberately lowered voice was heard by the girl on the other side, He Ye had no choice but to quickly deny it in a voice that was so weak that it was almost inaudible. Then, he stretched out his hand, and naturally pulled the girl who had come too close Someone near pushes back—

"Come too close to you."

Smiling and complaining, he inadvertently revealed the familiarity between the two, rather than the usual intimacy, from his tone to his demeanor, and he didn't look at Tsuruga Lian's expression, but turned to the opposite side slightly apologetically, obviously a little surprised Kazuka Jotsuka arrived:

"Sorry, Ms. Tiaozuka, did I scare you? This person is someone I know. Although he has to dress up like this for some reason, he is not a suspicious person. Please don't be afraid."

He spoke seriously, Tie Tsukaka couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, and then chuckled lightly——

"I know." She said with a smile, "During the sports festival, this...senpai came to watch Kazuya-san's game, right? He seemed to be sitting next to you at that time."

"...Yes." Kazuya was a little surprised that she remembered Tsuruga Ren so clearly, but when he thought of his friend's powerful hormonal force field that couldn't be completely hidden even if he covered his entire face, Immediately relieved: "He is my friend. I happened to be free on the day of the sports festival, so I came to visit... Ms. Tiaozuka has a really good memory."

Girls want to say that it's not because they have a good memory, but because they are related to you, so they put extra effort into it. However, this kind of words can only be thought in the heart, and it is absolutely impossible to say it out loud. .

So she just smiled sweetly at Kazuya, turned her eyes slightly, and glanced at Tsuruga Ren who had straightened up and was standing next to Kazuya's seat:

"Senior, would you like to sit down and have a cup of coffee with us? The signature mocha here is delicious, highly recommended~"

——Seeing that he has a very close relationship with Kazuya, and doesn't seem to have any plans to leave immediately, she simply offered to invite him.

Tsuruga Ren looked at Kazuya who was a little surprised, and then at the smiling girl. After thinking about it, he nodded cheerfully:

"If it is recommended by such a lovely young lady, then I must try it. Then, I am sorry to bother you, Kazuya."

——Speaking of the second half of the sentence, he looked at Kazuya with a smile in his voice.

He also had no choice but to look back:

"you sure?"

I agreed to be busy filming a new drama, but it is very difficult to squeeze out a little vacation?Sure you have time to kill here?

Tsuruga Ren smiled and sat down beside him:

"of course."

"..." Well, since I have said so ╮(╯_╰)╭

He also decided to give up the entanglement.

However, it was fine if they just met by chance before, but now that everyone sat down face to face, it would seem a bit inappropriate if Ren and Jozuka Kazuki didn't introduce each other.

Kazuya turned his head and looked at Ren Tsuruga——

To introduce it.Can I say your name?

Tsuruga Ren smiled——

Naturally not.

Kazuya raised his eyebrows——

What should I do?

Tsuruga Ren continued to smile——

What do you say?

Kazuya... Kazuya didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

"Let me introduce you." He turned around and turned to Jotsuka, "This is my friend, Hozu Hisuto. Kuto, this is my junior at school, Miss Jozuka, you met on the day of the sports festival."

"..." Ren Tsuruga, who was introduced under the name "Hotsu Kuen".

He really didn't expect that one day, he would be introduced like this.

——Whether it is "Baojin" or "Jiuyuan", to him, it is so far away that it seems like a memory from a long time ago.

However, his absence was only momentary.

Even with the cover of sunglasses, Tsuruga Ren's abnormality at that moment was not noticed by anyone except Kazuya, who seemed to be introducing Jozuka Kazuka, but was actually focusing on him all the time.

"It's our first time meeting, Miss Jotsuka." Tsuruga Ren nodded politely to the girl opposite, "Sorry for such an image. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to seafood recently, so I don't want others to feel uncomfortable because of the symptoms on my face. , that’s why I had to make this dress, and I hope you will forgive me.”

The intentionally changed voice was already very different from "Tsuga Ren", and the reason sounded reasonable, Jozuka Kawa almost immediately showed a look of enlightenment without any doubt:

"No wonder you came to participate in the sports festival a few days ago, and you were well packed."

——Obviously the weather on the day of the sports festival was fine, and it wasn't so cold that you needed to cover your entire face with a scarf.

It was because of allergies...

she thought sympathetically.

Tsuruga Lian just smiled and said nothing.

"Speaking of which, Hotsu-senpai and Kazuya-san have a good relationship, right? The other day I sat across from you and saw the scene of the two of you getting along. I felt... really close."

The girl said softly with envy and longing in her tone, her eyes faintly fell on Kazuya on the opposite side:

"Although Kazuya is very gentle, he is very kind to everyone around him. He always smiles with a good temper, rarely gets angry or cold-faced at others, and always feels that he is thinking of others. It seems to be very caring and gentle, but the reality is not like that."

She lowered her head and gently stirred the coffee in front of her. The girl's nostalgic longing for the person she liked in her voice was already full and about to overflow.

"I'm not saying that Kazuya isn't such a gentle and kind person. It's just that he doesn't treat everyone the same."

She said, slowly raising her eyes:

"For example, Tatsuya-san, for example, Asakura-senpai, for example, for Kazuya-san's teammates in the baseball club, for example... Hotsu-senpai."

"When facing you, Kazuya-san's smile is different from when facing other people."

"It's still so gentle, and it still seems to have infinite tolerance, but at that time, Kazuya-san, it felt like not only the corners of the mouth and eyes, but... even the heart was smiling."

"I can't say that feeling well. But I can feel that you are different to him."

"So... I'm a little envious of you, Hozu-senpai."

"—to be completely accepted and trusted by Kazuya-san, and classified into his own territory..."

Jozuka spoke softly, although the person she was talking to seemed to be Tsuruga Ren, but her eyes were always on Kazuya next to him—obviously, her words were not meant to be addressed to Tsuruga Lian, but to tell Kazuya.

Kazuya's expression became serious and focused little by little.

He really didn't expect that Tiaozuka would choose such a way to make such a different... confession.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a while.

Tsuruga Ren, who was regarded as a confidant, did not respond—in fact, the girl who "confided" her heart to him did not need his response.

Her eyes settled on Kazuya quietly and softly, with a firm and decisive taste.

He also silently lowered his lower eyelids.

He thought that she must have understood the expression that Tsuruga Lian had when he was about to say no to her before he suddenly appeared.

So she invited Tsuruga Ren to sit down with her.

So she "confessed" her emotions in front of Tsuruga Lian.

On the one hand, she is indeed a very active and powerful girl who actively fights for feelings, on the other hand, maybe... she is also accurate for Kazuya's gentleness and soft heart.

A person like Kazuya would not easily embarrass a girl in front of others.

It's like the loan race at the sports festival before.

When the results were finally announced, the referee teacher at that time laughed so obviously full of ridicule and joy, Jozuka thought, with Kazuya's cleverness, she would not fail to guess what the target she drew was.

But Kazuya didn't refute or justify the teacher's ambiguous attitude, but just retreated thoughtfully.

He is a gentle person, within the scope of his ability, he is absolutely unwilling to hurt anyone - no matter actively or passively.

That's why she chose to put all her eggs in one basket.

Even if it's temporary.

As long as he didn't make a clear refusal in person.

Even in front of his good friends whom he valued very much, he half-accepted to accept his own feelings.

Then she is confident that she will soon be able to turn this "temporary" into a "long-term", so that a confession that was once about to be rejected before it can be said will become a mutual love in the future...

——Really, I like myself very much.

Ms. Jozuka she.

And also feel flattered, also feel very sorry.

Because, even when he realized that he was loved so much, his heart was not shaken even for a moment because of it.

It is precisely because Kazuya once had someone he deeply liked, so he knows exactly what it feels like to be moved by someone.

But it is a pity that even if she understands what kind of "price" Tiaozuka Kazuka needs to pay in the current series of actions - taking the risk of "coercing" Kazuya and being hated by Kazuya afterwards, it can be seen from her desperate actions Knowing what kind of determination she was holding, Kazuya didn't have any other emotions in his heart except gratitude and regret...

—he could only refuse her one more time.

I am so sorry.

He didn't speak, but raised his head and conveyed his answer with his eyes.

The girl on the opposite side froze for a moment.

She sat there straight, with a sad and disbelieving expression on her face.

Silence spread quietly and persistently around their table at this moment. It was not until the waiter came to deliver the coffee ordered by Ren Tsuruga that time seemed to flow again...

The girl's eye sockets turned red almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I'm sorry, Kazuya-san, Hotsu-senpai, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent, so I'm going to be rude first."

Almost at the same time as the waiter retreated, she grabbed the bags and shopping bags beside her. Before Kazuya and Tsuruga Ren could reply, she quickly got up and rushed out without looking back. the cafe.

Kazuya looked at her fleeing back and couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Tsuruga Lian, who was silently watching the whole process, took a sip from her coffee cup, turned her head, and saw that the expression on Kazuya's face was unprecedentedly depressed, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows in surprise:

"If you're so reluctant, why don't you just accept it?"

—— He himself didn't realize that when he said this sentence, there was an inexplicable sourness in his tone and words that could not be concealed.

Fortunately, Kazuya was in a restless mood at this time, and didn't notice this strangeness in him.

"I don't have the kind of affection she expected for her." He lowered his eyes, and his tone was so calm that he was even a little indifferent. "Since I can't give her the same affection back, how can I accept it casually?"

While talking, he raised his head and looked back at Tsuruga Lian with deep eyes:

"Such an irresponsible approach is more hurtful than a straightforward refusal."

"..." Under Kazuya's deep eyes that seemed to see through everything, Tsuruga Ren didn't know why she felt uncomfortable all over——

What, what to do!

Why did he suddenly feel a little... guilty...
