Xiangyang-kun, come here

=======================

In Xiangyang's fidgeting, I took the garbage bag and walked to the entrance again.

He opened the door again when he was hesitant to say "that..." a few times but stopped talking and wanted to.

I turned around: "what's the matter."

Xiangyang sat obediently, he paused, seemed to retract his original words, and only said: "Be careful."

I nodded.

He watched me go away like my family dog.

...Although you shouldn't think so, it really seems like it.

I close the door.

Turning left, the door of the neighbor's house was locked, so I ran to the other side of the road and walked away.

Inside the small iron gate was quiet, the gate house stood still, and the dog that used to bark so fiercely was gone.

I was relieved.

To be honest, every time I pass by here, I will be intimidated. Fortunately, the way to school turns right and there is no need to pass here.

I throw away the trash and return quickly.

Open the door - the orange-haired boy is still sitting obediently - why does it feel exactly the same as my action before going out!Did he not move?

As soon as I entered the door, Xiangyang eagerly looked over and beeped loudly, like a hotel lady welcoming: "Welcome back!"

Me: "...Thank you, I'll just throw out the trash."

I was going to clean up the test papers and some messy things on the coffee table, but I saw that they were clean and tidy.

Me: "Have you cleaned up?"

Xiangyang Zhensheng: "Yes! I'm ready to go out!"

He paused, then leaned over and beeped softly: "...don't worry, put Xiaohui's diary in the safest place."

I rubbed my ears: "..."

Me: "Well done, what will reward you?"

"Eh? Is there any reward for this?"

"Well, my mother rewards me every time I pack up. Every time in elementary school, occasionally in middle school."

"...Then, what reward did the aunt give? Money?"

I thought for a while: "Let me go out for a run."

"........."

Xiangyang choked, and finally opened his mouth: "Then ask Xiaohui to read my diary the day after tomorrow...?"

"Do you have a diary?"

He avoided the question and said with a smile, "Didn't you mean to exchange diaries? You have to have mine too."

Oh, are you trying to keep this going?That's right, I'm not boasting, my diary is as good as a math teacher would praise it, and it's no problem to go out and win an award in a notebook contest.

I agree: "Okay, once a week?"

"Uh-huh!"

There is an open space near my house, and there is also a waste wall, just enough for him to practice volleyball alone.

It's a bit cold outside, so I changed my long sleeves and planned to change into short sleeves and a jacket, which was just right.

I changed into short sleeves in the bedroom and came out to put on a coat.

Seeing this, Xiangyang also picked up his coat, put it on very quickly, and put it on in the blink of an eye.

It's not as slow as I am. I put on one sleeve without looking back. I wore it blindly and searched for a long time where the other sleeve was.

Suddenly, one hand helped me lift the coat, and the other hand grabbed my groping wrist.

I tilted my head slightly, and Xiangyang was standing beside me, close at hand, with lowered eyes, not smiling, just quietly.

"..."

I stared at him and blinked, but he didn't look at me, he seemed very focused.

He just pursed his lips in my stare.

Gently pulling, my wrist was led to the right place.

Xiangyang let go the second I found the right place, and the force binding my wrist disappeared. Before his hand stopped there, I straightened my arm towards the cuff before it could leave.

Because it was short-sleeved, the arm was bare. It was stuck into the cuff, and as it moved, the warm fingertips that Xiangyang didn't retract in time passed all the way.

It was so fast that I didn't realize it until I finished wearing it.

I was taken aback, and he was also taken aback.

Xiangyang stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his face away: "Sorry...I...I'm going to get the messenger bag!"

"Do not……"

It's not your fault... No, it's okay.

But it feels itchy where it is rubbed, which is very strange.

From the upper arm to the forearm, the place where Xiangyang's fingertips on the inner side passed seemed to form a line, which was firmly attached to the arm.

I couldn't help scratching through my coat.

Turning his head, Xiangyang, who claimed to go to get the messenger bag, came slowly, blushing, moved away immediately as if he was burned at a glance, and looked at the entrance: "...Then let's go?"

"Hmm." I nodded.

He pressed and pressed his fingers thinking that there was no trace, his thumb crushed a few times on the index finger, and finally, the index finger silently rubbed on the strap of the messenger bag, as if it was too itchy, but he was embarrassed to let it go. I know, just scratch quietly.

Although I see it.

Was it touched by the index finger?

I silently shifted my gaze and didn't expose it.

Well, it seems that my emotional intelligence is not helpless.

Go out, or turn left.

Xiangyang and I were side by side, and we often walked on the road, and the neighbor's house suddenly came out with fierce dog barking.

I was startled, and immediately walked half a circle around Xiangyang to the other side, grabbing his sleeve.

Isn't the dog here? !

Xiangyang was also frightened by the sudden barking of the dog, but as soon as I grabbed his sleeve, he immediately recovered his expression and pretended to be calm: "It's okay, Xiaohui, the puppy can't get out."

I hid beside Xiangyang and stared at the door of the neighbor's house—there was no dog, the dog should be behind their house, and it probably barked when I heard the car horn.

I tugged at him: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Xiangyang glanced at my hand holding his sleeve, I was so nervous, but he suddenly couldn't help but secretly laughed a few times.

"???" I immediately looked up at him with wide eyes, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiangyang: "..."

He immediately returned to a serious expression: "I feel very happy to walk with Xiaohui."

I:"……"

"Is Xiaohui afraid of dogs?"

Me: "No, I'm just afraid of this dog. It's very fierce. Other dogs are very cute."

Xiangyang glanced at the door of the neighbor's house as if hiding his thoughts, then looked at the road ahead, pursed his lips and said, "...would it feel better if I tightened my grip?"

I paused, and finally stopped looking at the neighbor's house vigilantly, raised my head, and met Xiangyang's eyes.

He tended to look away, but in the next second he frowned and suppressed his shyness, and looked at me.

Those eyes lost their shyness and felt a lot more mature and fierce.

I:"……"

Listening to the dog barking, I didn't know for a moment who the vicious dog was.

But for Xiangyang, I was a little less vigilant, paused, and tried to stretch my hand further into the crook of his arm, hooking his arm, and sticking the back of my hand to his side.

"Is that so?" I thought for a while, "It's indeed better than just now."

"..." Xiangyang blushed even more.

The boy's arm under my palm was suddenly stiff, as if stretched, and the outline of thin muscles was faintly revealed.

He held the strap of the crossbody bag in his hand, his knuckles turned white with force, as if he was about to tear it off.

"Um……"

His voice is too low.

I asked: "What?"

"I said," Xiangyang took a deep breath, turned his head to look at me, his face without a smile looked very serious, but also with a unique firm aggressiveness, and said, "then just keep holding on tightly."
