fall in love with Echizen

Echizen Ryoma and I stared at each other for a few seconds.

In the silence, my dull brain finally turned.

Hmm...does this mean you want to praise?

I blinked, Ryoma's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any thoughts.

After thinking about it, I tried: "You are really amazing."

He didn't move, still looking down at me.Yui and the others were watching inexplicably.

"..." I searched my vocabulary of praise words, "Whoa, I won!"

Echizen Ryoma's amber eyes immediately turned to the other side, as if he had been waiting for this word for a long time, and said calmly, "It's just that they are too weak."

Yui blurted out: "...So it was just a few compliments..."

But the volume was very low, only Yixiang heard it, and he laughed.

I looked at Ryoma silently, said yes, thought of something, and turned my head: "Yui, then you guys play, let's go first."

Yui Aoi, who was watching, came back to his senses: "Oh... good! Goodbye Pear Blossom."

Yixiang: "Goodbye."

I pulled the dragon horse: "Let's go."

Because his coat was still in my hand, the hand I was holding directly touched Ryoma's forearm. For some reason, his body tensed up for a moment.

The thin muscles under my hands are unusually visible.

I stopped and looked back at a position far away from the tennis court. Echizen Ryoma stopped after me and looked at me suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

I handed him the coat: "Your coat."

"Oh." Ryoma agreed, and casually took it and put it on.

I stare at him.

Echizen Ryoma straightened his neckline, looked up to meet my gaze: "...What are you looking at?"

I wondered: "I see you have muscles, why? Why do junior high schools have muscles? Are junior high school students really worthy of muscles?"

Echizen Ryoma lowered his eyes and looked at his legs exposed in shorts: "Just exercise."

I followed him and bowed my head. I never paid attention to it before, but now I saw that the muscle lines on Longma's legs were also very smooth, no more, no less, just covered with a thin layer of muscles.

I looked at myself in silence again.

Soft and fair skin doesn't look like she likes to go out for sports at first glance.

Seeing me staring at his legs, Ryoma said casually, "No matter what, yours are too soft. Did you really follow me during class breaks in elementary school?"

...I ran, but according to the degree of seriousness and laziness, it can be said that I have not run.

Me: "Well... I guess I ran away... um..."

Ryoma glanced at me: "..."

I tried my best to hold my face and change the subject: "We should go to play instead of standing here."

Then he pulled him away.

Ryoma said later: "Aren't you the one standing here..."

I pretended not to hear and walked straight to the corner of the street.

What I was pulling was the sleeve of the coat he was wearing. As I was walking, I felt the sleeve in my hand break free, and I took advantage of the opportunity to hold me with one hand.

About the size of a palm fits.

Maybe he just played tennis, and his palms are hot.

I tilted my head slightly, and Ryoma quickly stepped forward to be parallel to me. He didn't look sideways, didn't look at me, and met my gaze, and suddenly said: "If I knew it, I would have brought a tennis racket."

I was taken aback, and subconsciously replied: "That's right..."

After finishing speaking, he didn't speak.

I also fell silent and didn't know what to say. I turned around and looked at the road ahead.

... I always feel that he is shy and said something casually to divert my attention.

Crack—the door opens.

Hino noon looked away from the TV: "Oh——Saeko, you're back——"

Saeko Hino hurriedly took off her shoes: "I forgot to take my things, and I just came back after a class was empty."

Huo Yewu murmured: "Actually, just ask me to get it."

Saeko opened the bedroom door and turned her head: "Because I have to change clothes by the way."

The door closed, and a faint voice came from inside: "Where's Pear Blossom?"

Huo Yewu: "Let's go out to play!"

"I must have gone out with that Echizen." Saeko quickly changed out and picked up her phone, "You remember sending text messages to Ewha every once in a while."

Huo Yewu waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just going out to play."

"...No, it's not because of her boyfriend." Saeko said speechlessly, "Have you forgotten? Lihua always thinks of what to do, and never thinks about the consequences."

Huo Yewu recalled: "I haven't forgotten...but it's cool to do whatever you want!"

"It's really cool as long as there's no danger."

"...Understood."

Ryoma and I walked aimlessly.

Not only did my cold hands not relieve his temperature, but because of holding hands, both hands gradually warmed up.

Fortunately, the weather was not too hot and the sky was gray.

I'm a little thirsty, the cup is newly bought, and there is no water: "I'm thirsty."

Cat Hitomi under the brim of Echizen Ryoma's hat turned around: "There is a vending machine in front."

I followed his gaze, and there really was, I didn't notice it just now.

I pressed the soda button and asked for apple flavor.

With a bang, the apple-flavored soda fell, and I picked it up, it was ice cold.

Without hesitation, Ryoma pressed the grape flavor.

He stooped to pick it up, got up, his amber eyes stared at the soda in my hand, and stuffed his soda into my other free hand.

Follow mine, bend your fingers, and with a puff, the apple-flavored soda is opened.

I took it, Ryoma took back his own, opened it and took a sip.

Me: "You like grape flavor."

Echizen Ryoma licked his lips: "Well, it's pretty good."

I tilted my head: "I like them all."

On the way of walking, because I was so thirsty, I drank it up in a while.

When I looked up, a kite floated past in the gray sky.

I was stunned: "...it's a kite, why are there kites here?"

Echizen Ryoma casually looked up: "It's on that mountain, it seems to be a shrine."

There is a hill in the distance. There seem to be many such hills in the city, so there are many shrines.

I looked up at the colorful kite for a while, and it was actually very far away, just a little bit smaller.

"..." I turned my head, "I said, let's go to that shrine to fly a kite."

Echizen Ryoma: "...?"

Echizen Ryoma: "But we don't have kites."

"There should be."

I stared at him, "Oh shrine, you can still ask for amulets!"

"..." Echizen Ryoma glanced at me, then turned his head, "I don't care."

……

We went to the shrine, it was getting late, there were only about three hours left before six o'clock.

I don't know the way to the shrine, and neither does Ryoma.

Looking for a trash can to throw away the finished cans, we watched the target walk around.

Me: "All roads lead to Rome."

Ryoma: "It's just getting lost."

I walked for a while and stopped, and there was a small forest in front of me, with a muddy land passing through, and there was only a narrow tiled road inside, which was still half broken.

I thought about it, and said honestly, "We should take a small path."

Echizen Ryoma didn't stop, he stepped on the tiles before I said it, and turned around after hearing the words: "I don't have time to find another way."

"you're right."

I also stepped on it, the narrow road, if I accidentally stepped on the wet mud puddles on one side, my shoes would be dirty.

I walked staggeringly, and the dragon horse in front walked extremely steadily, with an excellent sense of balance.

Suddenly, the tiles were too slippery, my feet tilted, and I unconsciously grabbed the hem of the person in front of me to stabilize my body.

Ryoma turned around.

I looked up at him: "Sorry..."

"It's okay." Echizen Ryoma rolled his eyes, turned around again, and stretched out his hand, "Shall we hold hands?"

I'm ready to move, but it's really hard to go here, and I kind of want to go back.

Perhaps seeing what I was thinking, Echizen Ryoma smiled slightly, with a familiar arc on the corner of his mouth: "Rika, you must not regret the path you chose."

I:"………"

I feel like he is teasing me, and I feel like I am watching a show.

I paused, put my hand on his, and was clenched in the next second.

I said in a muffled voice: "I know... so I won't back down."

Ryoma laughed.
