Autumn leaves are still beautiful and the water is flowing

Hui is good-looking, popular, with excellent grades and a cheerful personality. Logically speaking, there seems to be nothing to hate.

But it was probably this kind of bright smile that was completely ignorant of worldly affairs that made Takeuchi Kiyomi feel even more uncomfortable.

——Why do you take it for granted that everyone revolves around you?It's so naive that you want to laugh.

The surrounding noises became louder and louder, and a large-scale verbal argument seemed to break out with those four people as the center.

There are many people who support Chu Liangxue in taking Nioh Masaharu back, but there are also voices of helping Nakagawa Mie.

Whenever someone said that Nakagawa Mie was delicate and contrived, Takeuchi Kiyomi would show a mocking smile in the direction of Nakagawa Mie as if his thoughts were recognized by others.

This farce finally ended because Chu Liangxue came forward to explain. When seeing the girl pull Akutagawa Jiro away, Takeuchi Kiyomi subconsciously glanced at Nakagawa Mie.

The face distorted by jealousy was unbelievably ugly, and the way Mie Nakagawa gritted her teeth to hold back her anger made Kiyomi Takeuchi feel a lot more relieved for a moment.

But in fact, when she trampled on the contents of Nakagawa Mie's uniform bag that day, she probably looked embarrassed like this.Just like the girl took away the postcards exchanged between Masaharu Nioh and Ryoyuki because of jealousy, she also threw away Mie Nakagawa's uniform bag because of jealousy.

Thinking of this, Kiyomi Takeuchi unconsciously smiled wryly.She is doing the same unbearable thing, so what right does she have to laugh at Mie Nakagawa?

"Qingjian, what are you doing here?" The boy's gentle voice came from behind, and it was only then that Takeuchi Qingjian realized that the farce in front of him had been over for a long time.

"It's nothing, just strolling around, where's Renji?" Shaking his head, Kiyomi Takeuchi didn't say much.

"Come to find Nakagawa-san. King Ren and the minister asked for an hour to rest, but Zhongchuan-san couldn't find King Ren and ran out talking to himself. It's really..." Rubbing his temples, Liu Lianer was very upset It's helpless.The tennis club was already busy enough, and Mie Nakagawa left without authorization to increase their workload.

"Then how about Lian Er simply skipping the activities of the tennis club to accompany me?" Mie Nakagawa Mie Nakagawa is Mie Nakagawa again!It's so annoying why you always have to clean up the mess for her!

"Kiyomi?" She looked at her girlfriend in surprise, as far as Liu Renji knew, Takeuchi Kiyomi was definitely not a girl who would make such capricious demands.

"Just kidding, I know Lian Er is very busy." After waving his hand, Kiyoshi Takeuchi said with a smile, "Then I'll go first."

The girl with light brown hair was grabbed by the wrist before she could take a few steps. The man's palm was broad and powerful, and it was faintly warm.

"Well, it's not bad to indulge yourself once in a while?" There was a smile in the voice, and without looking back, Kiyoshi Takeuchi knew that Liu Lianer must be laughing at her for being too sensitive and jealous.

Although he said he was indulging himself, in fact Yanagi Renji still took Nakagawa Mie and Nioh Masaharu back to the tennis club according to the rules, and then asked Yukimura Seichi for a good leave before it was over.

For this person, everything seems to be taken for granted. It may be unplanned to take an afternoon off to accompany her like this.

Hooking Liu Lianji's arm, Takeuchi Kiyomi smiled slightly.

The feeling of liking you is increasing day by day, and I don't want you to keep your eyes on people other than me.

There seems to be an event like a bonfire dance at the Umihara Festival at night. The person pulling Renji Yanagi to stand in front of the stands, and the person speaking the speech on the stage is the president of the student union named Hiroshi Yagyu.

"The tennis club is really full of talents." With a sour sentence, looking at the secretary of the student union beside him, Takeuchi Kiyomi pouted, "If the vice president of the student union is also in your tennis club, then it will really cover the sky with one hand."

"Unfortunately, Vice President Chuliang is not from the tennis club." Gently rubbing Takeuchi Kiyomi's head, Liu Renji's smile flickered under the light of the campfire.

"Chu Liangxue?" The name blurted out, Takeuchi Kiyomi felt strange recently why he kept hearing this surname.

"Chu Liangjin, Chu Liangxue's younger brother." Liu Lianer's eyes fell on Masaharu Nioh and Mie Nakagawa as he explained lightly, "Well, their siblings are quite well-known in Lihai University. It’s not surprising to see you know.”

Probably because he was not interested in continuing this topic, Kiyomi Takeuchi leaned lazily on Liu Lianji's shoulder.

Yagyu Hiroshi's speech was not over yet, and the Unabara Festival at night was surprisingly more lively than during the day.

"Kyomi, are you going to dance?" Feeling as if he was being pushed, Kiyomi Takeuchi opened his eyes hazily.

The originally empty bonfire was surrounded by crowds, laughing happily one by one.

The light brown-haired girl thought she could dance very badly at first, but when she got closer, she realized that in fact, everyone is not very good at dancing, but it's just a pattern where you take a step back and I go further.

Liu Lian'er put her hands on the girl's waist, her eyes closed profile looked very pretty under the warm orange light of the campfire.

Carefully take the first step, the guidance of the brown-haired boy is always just right, Takeuchi Kiyomi just follows him without thinking.

The man's hand on her waist was just out of dancing etiquette, but even so, Takeuchi Kiyomi's heart beat endlessly.

With warm palms covering his waist, his heartbeat couldn't stop beating.

"What's the matter, Kiyomi, your face is very red." Zhengyan and Liu Lianer, who were approaching, almost pressed their lips against Takeuchi Kiyomi's ear when they spoke.

The slight itching made Takeuchi Kiyomi turn his head away, "It's nothing, I just think Lianji is really gentle... something like that."

Probably because he didn't expect Kiyomi Takeuchi to say such words, the corners of Liu Lian Er's mouth raised a lot in an instant, "Thank you."

The tighter waist made Takeuchi Kiyomi have to suspect that Liu Lianer did it on purpose, but the boy in front of her just smiled faintly without saying a word.

The cheerful waltz is coming to an end, and the chaotic heartbeat has not yet returned to normal.

Takeuchi Kiyomi heard Liu Lianer call her name, raised his head and something covered her lips.

No warmer than this person's palm, Liu Lian'er's lips had a slightly cooler temperature.

The soft touch made the girl lose her mind, her defenseless jaws were pried open, and Liu Lian'er's tongue licked her teeth.

It was completely different from her last kiss in the rain, the brown-haired boy tenderly left his touch in her mouth, but he refused to leave all the time.

With some breathless breathing, Takeuchi Kiyomi couldn't imagine how many people are staring at them now.

Fortunately, the light at night was not as good as during the day after all, and not many people noticed when the kiss ended.

Liu Lianer still looked at her with a faint smile, but Takeuchi Kiyomi could no longer control the beating heart in his chest.

"Fortunately, I always thought that Lian Er was a herbivore." Looking sideways at the boy sitting next to him, another waltz sounded again at the bonfire dance under the stands.

"Boys are all carnivores, I thought Kiyomi knew this very well." It was obviously the same gentle smile as usual, but Takeuchi Kiyomi didn't know why, and he always felt that the boy's smile at this moment was a little teasing her.

"A calm and sensible look in normal clothes."

"It's not pretending, otherwise Qingjian would have been eaten up and wiped out by living with me, wouldn't he?"

To the fact that the person in front of him could answer and refute her with a serious face, Kiyomi Takeuchi didn't know what to say.

Liu Lian Er has always given her the impression that he is pure-hearted and ascetic, but now he uses his handsome face to tell her that he is actually a carnivore.

Some helplessly stroking his forehead, Takeuchi Kiyomi was finally defeated.

Lying on Liu Lian'er's legs, the brown-haired boy's knee pillow was unexpectedly more comfortable than expected, and he didn't feel so bone-chilling.

Feeling drowsy and wanting to sleep, Kiyoshi Takeuchi felt that Liu Lian'er was combing her hair strand by strand with her hands.

The slightly longer bangs were pinned by the light grass-colored hair clips, Liu Lianji thought that Kiyomi Takeuchi seemed to be going to cut her bangs, but later dismissed the idea because of the hair clips he gave her.

Calloused fingers lightly traced the shape of the hairpin, the brown-haired boy looked at the sleeping girl lying on his lap, and smiled helplessly.

There is some coolness in the autumn night, and the night sky is dark blue without the insects in summer.

He took off his coat and put it on Takeuchi Kiyomi, and the girl's light brown hair was scattered on the boy's legs.

☆、28chapter28

"Sorry, may I ask which group Mie Nakagawa is in?" Standing in front of Kiyomi Takeuchi was an exchange student with long hair like a waterfall, with one hand curling up his temple hair, looking intellectual and polite.

"Group A in the second year, I happen to be going there too, do you want to come together?" I asked casually, and got the answer from the exchange student who nodded in agreement.

Li Hai University seems to have exchange students with Byodi every year, but these candidates are limited to those with excellent grades, and it has no effect on Takeuchi Kiyomi.

The girl named Nishikuchiriko who followed her seemed to be one of the exchange students of this year's Ice Emperor. As for the reason why she was looking for Nakagawa Mie, Takeuchi Kiyomi didn't know and didn't want to know.

The back door of Group A, the position behind Liu Lian's second seat.

Takeuchi Kiyomi felt that the more he didn't want to see anything recently, the more he was flustered by something.

Nakagawa Mie is like a lingering ghost, she can always be with Liu Lianer within her sight.

The girl with light brown hair clearly knows the feelings of the person she likes towards her, but this is not the same thing as a girl's jealousy.

It's as if you know exactly this book is yours, but you still get upset when someone you hate flips through it.

Unable to recklessly snatch the book back from that person, even though he hates that person in his heart, he still has to pretend he doesn't care on the surface.

Liu Lianer simply answered Nakagawa Mie's confusion about the manager's responsibilities that she just got started, just like a book using its own content to answer other people's doubts.

But Kiyomi Takeuchi still couldn't treat it with a normal mentality, as if he was angry with the book and blamed it for letting that person read it, it was simply unreasonable.

"What a coincidence, Nakagawa-san, we meet again." The one who interrupted the girl's thoughts was the exchange student who had been standing behind her.

The voice seemed to be a greeting with a gentle smile, but Mie Nakagawa turned around for a moment, with surprise and anger in her eyes.

Pretending not to see Mie Nakagawa's hostility, the black-haired exchange student went straight to the girl's side, glanced at the notebook she had placed on Liu Lian'er's desk, and said with a smile, "Ah, this is not our Ice Emperor's information. What? Why, Nakagawa-san finally remembered his responsibilities as a manager?"

Picking up a red pen, Riko Nishikuchi began to draw circles in Mie Nakagawa's notebook, "Hey, Nakagawa-san, it's "Taki Oginosuke", if Taki-kun sees you write his name as "Taki Di Zhijie" is probably about to cry.So is Jiro, 161 is the height of last year, right?It's 163 right now.Also here, Ninjazu and Xiang Xiang beat you 6-4 in the practice match a few weeks ago, right?Why can you even remember the score wrong? Nakagawa-san, are you serious about keeping records? "

"Instead of asking Liu Jun about this and that at every turn, why don't you put your mind to it? Not everyone is as good-tempered as Liu Jun."

After a series of words, Takeuchi Kiyomi finally remembered where he had seen this girl with long black hair.

Nishikuchi Riko, another manager of the ice emperor tennis club besides Chu Liangxue.

She had indeed seen this person's photo in Liu Lian Er's notebook.

It was clearly the words with a gentle smile, but Takeuchi Kiyomi could clearly hear a sneer from them.

Nishikuchi Riko glanced at Liu Lian Er thoughtfully, and said, "It's really hard for Liu Jun, you have to deal with so many trivial matters alone, think about the reason why your girlfriend is always jealous? "

With some meaningful words, Nishiku Chiriko smiled politely at Takeuchi Kiyomi when she left Group A of the second year.

Leaving Nakagawa Mie standing there alone in embarrassment, Takeuchi Kiyomi even felt that the reason why the exchange student came to Group A was to embarrass Nakagawa Mie.

I don't know whether it was Chiriko Nishiku who embarrassed Mie Nakagawa too much in public or what, since then Kiyomi Takeuchi really didn't see Liu Lianji being pestered by that person to ask questions.

On the other side, Chiriko Nishiku too, I don't know why I can't see anyone every time after class, and any topic that she participates in must be more or less related to Mie Nakagawa.

"Don't you know Kiyomiko?" I casually chatted with Yuriko Uemura about this matter, but what I got was the girl's exaggerated surprise.

"Why do you think I'll know, Uemura?" Frowning, Takeuchi Kiyomi was sure that she had never heard of the gossip about Nakagawa Mie and Nishikuchi Riko.

"Well, Mie Nakagawa's junior high school is in Ice Emperor, and she was admitted to Rikkai University only after high school, but I heard that her junior high school is not very good in Ice Emperor's wind evaluation. Ah, on this point, Nishiku Chiriko The reputation in the middle of the Ice Empire is also very bad, and if I remember correctly, Nishikuchiriko pushed Mie Nakagawa into the water when she graduated from junior high school, almost drowning her."

"You deserve it by drowning." Saying this coldly, Takeuchi Kiyomi had no sympathy for Nakagawa Mie's falling into the water.

Uemura Yuriko was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, "It's really what Kiyomiko would say." Ever since she met this girl, Takeuchi Kiyomi's words have always been a little bit stinging.

"The ghost knows whether it was Nishikuchi Riko who pushed her or she pulled Nishikuchi Riko into the water together? The two look the same from the perspective of others, don't they?"

"Kiyomi thinks too badly of people." Scratching her head, Uemura Yuriko didn't know how to accuse Takeuchi Kiyomi of being too negative and extreme.

"Oh, Uemura, do you really think that Mie Nakagawa is a good person?" With a sneer, Kiyomi Takeuchi really didn't believe that Mie Nakagawa would be the kind of little sheep who was willing to be pushed into the water.

It's not that he didn't see Yuriko Uemura's helpless eyes, but it's just that Kiyomi Takeuchi really couldn't help but think of people as bad.

It is better to prepare for the worst than live with naive thoughts. Takeuchi Kiyomi feels that he must be a typical example of "being bitten by a snake once, and afraid of well ropes for ten years".

The conversation during the lunch break ended hastily, with his right hand resting on his chin, Takeuchi Kiyomi was bored listening to his Mandarin teacher explaining haiku.

Suddenly feeling someone poked her, the girl turned her head and saw the note handed to her in the back seat.

"Is Takeuchi-san free? Excuse me after school, I'll wait for you at the coffee shop opposite the school. ——Nishikuchi Riko"

On the unfolded note was the handsome note of the black-haired exchange student. Looking at the seat of Nishiku Chiriko, Kiyoshi Takeuchi could see the polite nod and smile of the girl.

After thinking about the fact that there is no shift in the restaurant today, Kiyomi Takeuchi accepted the note after a little thought.

"I didn't expect Takeuchi-san to come." At the table in the corner of the coffee shop, Chiriko Nishikuchi was like a quiet painting, with a gentle smile just right.

"Every time I see Nishiku-san, I think you are very formulaic." Expressing his first impression of this person to the point, Takeuchi Kiyomi sat down on the seat opposite to Nishikuchi Riko.

"Really, I'm sorry, I'm used to it." Ignoring Takeuchi Kiyomi's words at all, Nishikuchiriko continued, "Can Mocha and tiramisu be okay?"

"No need, just give me a glass of plain water."

"Takeuchi-san looks very wary of me." Putting her hands on the table, Chiriko Nishiku gave a well-bred sense of etiquette no matter what time it was.

Pretending not to see the girl's smile on the other side, Kiyomi Takeuchi said lightly, "I'm very wary of everyone."

"Then I'll get straight to the point, what does Takeuchi-san think about Nakagawa Mie?" It's a bit like a cliché, and Nishikuchi Riko is best at throwing stones to attract jade.

"Nishiku-san, let's talk about the key points. I can't understand talking in circles." The so-called ideas have good and bad, prejudices, and so on. Takeuchi Kiyomi is sure that the point that Nishiku Chiriko wants to know is not this.

"I'm sorry to hear the conversation between you and Uemura-san at noon. I'm just curious why Takeuchi-san has such a prejudice against Nakagawa Mie." She covered her mouth and smiled. The black-haired girl opposite was not at all embarrassed by being exposed. It is to deal with it calmly and unhurriedly.

"Nishiku-san, tell me first, which one of my guesses about Mie Nakagawa falling into the water is correct?"

"Both." Without a single pause in the answer, Takeuchi Kiyomi thought that at least Nishakuchi Riko would whitewash his actions.

"Oh, this is really an unexpected answer." Holding his chin with one hand, Kiyomi Takeuchi looked at Chiriko Nishiku's pupils, "I thought that Nishiku-san would at least deny that you pushed her into the water."

"The fact is that I pushed it, there is nothing to deny it." Smiling slightly, the black-haired girl put her index finger and middle finger together, and tapped on the wooden table lightly, "Then, back to the topic, why did Takeuchi-san treat you like this?" Does Nakagawa Mie have such prejudices?"

"Would you believe me if I said I got something interesting while throwing her schoolbag?"

Nishikuchi Riko smiled, but did not make any answer.

Takeuchi Kiyomi took out those postcards from his uniform bag, turned his fingertips, and the content that was originally facing him was reversed to Nishikuchiriko.

"The postcards of Masaharu Nioh and Ryoyuki Hatsu will appear in her uniform bag. It's interesting no matter how you think about it?"

The black-haired girl looked at Kiyomi Takeuchi's fingertips. On the unstamped postcard, the conversation between Masaharu Nioh and Ryoyuki Hatsue was short but direct.

Both parties sent the postcard again because they did not receive a reply, but the postcard that was sent again appeared in Mie Nakagawa's uniform bag. The answer is obvious.

"If Takeuchi-san doesn't mind, can you give me the postcard?" Holding back her displeasure, Chiriko Nishiku seemed to be very dissatisfied with the postcard of Nioh Masaharu, but finally put on a formulaic smile, " Chuliang, I'm afraid he doesn't want these things to be known by others."

"Please." Made a gesture of please, Takeuchi Kiyomi knew that these things were useless on her side.

"Thank you." Putting away the objects on the table, Chiriko Nishiku stared at Kiyomi Takeuchi for a while, and then said, "Takeuchi-san, it's surprisingly easier to touch than I imagined."

"Really, I think Nishiku-san is much more difficult to get in contact with than I imagined." Grabbing his uniform and wrapping up, Takeuchi Kiyomi smiled at Nishikuchi Riko before leaving, "I hate formulas to the point of A person who can never change his smile."

The moment he left the coffee shop, Takeuchi Kiyomi felt like he was relieved.

She said she hated Nishikuchiriko, and it was true.

In fact, it is not so much that she hates Nishikuchiriko as a person, it is better to say that she hates Nishikuchiriko's words and deeds.

He is obviously the same age as her, but he hides all his thoughts, with an always polite and intellectual smile on his face, and talks with people for the camp every step of the way.

Takeuchi Kiyomi was convinced that he and Nishakuchiriko were two types of talents, but he always had a vague feeling that that girl was her after all the edges and corners were smoothed out.

Be tactful and treat people with a smile.

There are obviously no flaws anywhere, but it makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

——I hate the extreme self I am now.

I also hate myself who might become like that in the future.

After all, what Kiyoshi Takeuchi hates is just this inner world that has already collapsed, right?

"Qingjian, why haven't you gone back yet? I remember you didn't schedule a shift today." Liu Lianer's familiar voice was in my ear, and it was only when Takeuchi Qingjian realized that I was already standing at the gate of Lihai in a daze for a long time.

"Waiting for Lianji to go back together." Holding the straps of the uniform bag with both hands, Kiyoshi Takeuchi leaned forward slightly, and said so to the boy in the sunset.

The expression on the originally handsome and cold face softened, and Liu Lian'er reached out and rubbed Takeuchi Kiyomi's head.

The distance to walk side by side is not too short, the distance from Liu Lian's house to Lihai University is about [-] minutes' walk.

The weather in the first ten days of November was not too cold. The girl in the autumn school uniform looked at the brown-haired boy who was more than half a head taller than her, and felt relieved for no reason.

"Hey, Renji." The hand holding Liu Renji was clenched, and Takeuchi Kiyomi's eyes were on the birds in the distant sky.

"What's wrong?" Turning his head slightly, the brown-haired boy looked at the girl beside him.

"If I say that I want to get rid of my current extreme personality, what do you think?"

If your answer is yes, does it mean that you don't like the self-willed and extreme me now?

Liu Lian'er's original advance stopped, and she stopped in place to watch the girl who was standing beside him walk a few steps in front of him.

Takeuchi Kiyomi's thin figure was turned against the light, and the girl looked back at his side face in the setting sun with light and shadow intertwined.

"Qingjian thinks that the current situation is better, so there is no need to make a special change."

I don't know what you are worried about.

I don't know what you are afraid of.

But if all those strange uneasy feelings are caused by me, at least I should give you a sign that I like you.

What Liu Lianer likes is the most authentic Kiyomi Takeuchi.

The author has something to say: Wow, it’s been so cold recently, it seems that the magic city has been below zero QAQ recently

Thanks to mines that are still sunny!Super touched qwq love you!

Thank you for accompanying me from summer flowers to autumn leaves, *??`)??`)*??`)*??`)!

☆、29chapter29

November was not a good month for Takeuchi Kiyomi. The head of the Yukimura did not know why he went crazy to let the main selection of the tennis club go to Tokyo for a sleepover in the early stage of this kind of exam.

The girl with light brown hair remembered that the day before Liu Lian'er left, she packed a week's worth of laundry, and then knocked on her door wearing that light grass-colored bathrobe.

"What's the matter, Lian Er?"

"Kimi, I'm going to live in Tokyo for the next week."

"Your tennis club has a lot going on."

Knowing the little awkwardness that Takeuchi Kiyoshi saw, Liu Lianer just pursed her lips and smiled, "Be careful on the way back, Shangcun is on a different road from you, don't stay too late in the restaurant."

"I know." Nodding, Kiyoshi Takeuchi seemed to remember something, frowned and asked, "Mihui Nakagawa is going with you?"

"Nakagawa-san is the manager." The boy's implication was self-evident.

Biting his lower lip secretly, Takeuchi Kiyoshi was really angry at the moment, "If it's just a manager of this level, I can do better than her."

Liu Lian Er didn't make any answer, just pursed her lips and looked at the girl with a gentle arc.

Finally defeated by that boy's indifferent smile, Takeuchi Kiyomi sighed softly, "I will be careful when I come back at night."

Indeed, Liu Lianer was most worried about the issue of Takeuchi Kiyomi for the sudden arrangement of the camp.

The part-time job at the restaurant ends at [-] pm, which is not too late but not very safe.

Uemura Yuriko and his family are going in the opposite direction. Takeuchi Kiyomi is just a girl after all, and it is a bit dangerous to go home alone at night.

The days without Liu Renji were more troublesome than Kiyomi Takeuchi imagined.

Takeuchi Kiyomi subconsciously held the ballpoint pen to his chin more than once, and opened the door of Liu Renji's room, but there was no one in the room.

Putting away the exercises that she didn't know, the girl with light brown hair lightly marked and prepared to continue thinking the next day.

Compared with the dormitory in the tennis club, Rikkai University obviously has a tense atmosphere of preparing for the exam.

Yuriko Uemura grabbed Takeuchi Kiyoshi to see the library for self-study almost whenever she was free. Looking at the mountain of exercises by the girl with twin ponytails, Kiyoshi Takeuchi felt more than once that the girl in front of her seemed to be too obsessed with her grades.

"Uemura, you don't have to push yourself to such a point, right?" Sitting down next to the black-haired girl, Takeuchi Kiyomi disapproved of Uemura Yuriko's method of using the library's exercise bank to do the exercises. .

"What does Kiyomiko mean?" Not knowing whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, Uemura Yuriko turned her head slightly.

"Even if Nakagawa Mie squeezed you out of the top three in the year, you don't need to push yourself out of breath just to fight for such a meaningless ranking?" Frowning, Takeuchi Kiyomi really didn't understand Uemura The reason why Yuriko is so concerned about the rankings.

"It's not meaningless." The ballpoint pen that was calculating the mathematical formula paused, and Yuriko Uemura said quietly, "It's not, it's meaningless."

There was no follow-up explanation, the girl with the twin ponytails just repeated it, and then struggled with the sea of ​​questions again.

After doing too many questions, she felt a little tired. When Yuriko Uemura looked up and was about to take a break, she saw Kiyomi Takeuchi sitting beside her, distressed by a marked question.

After roughly explaining her train of thought to the girl with light brown hair, Yuriko Uemura felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Takeuchi Kiyomi only relied on Liu Lianji from the beginning to the end. Obviously, as long as she asked Yuriko Uemura, she could answer everything for her, but she would rather sit there alone and worry than ask her for help.

It's not that the girl with light brown hair is unfamiliar or embarrassed, it's just that Kiyomi Takeuchi excludes herself from everyone else.

Uemura Yuriko knew this very well, but she didn't know how to speak to Takeuchi Kiyomi.

The only person that girl could think of was Liu Lian Er, just like Noah's Ark in the last days, holding onto that person tightly and relying on that person only.

There is a line of defense separated from everyone, and the only person allowed to enter inside the line of defense is Liu Lian'er.

"Hasn't Qing Jianzi ever thought of getting out of her own world?"

"Is this necessary?"

Takeuchi Kiyomi did not look up, the automatic lead in his hand was constantly calculating on the manuscript paper.

She knew that she was like a frog in a well, but she didn't mind living under the sky of Liu Lian Er forever.

The autumn wind in November carried a bleak chill, and the withered and yellow leaves were gradually blown to the ground.

When Liu Lianer received the call from Takeuchi Kiyomi, it happened that he had just finished a day of training.

The mobile phone in the jacket pocket vibrated constantly, and the words Kiyomi Takeuchi were clearly written on the screen.

"Hey, see you, what's the matter?"

"I miss you." With a simple and straightforward answer, Kiyomi Takeuchi sat in front of the desk, which was covered with test points for drawing circles.

The corners of her lips slightly curled up, and Liu Lianer walked into the room with her mobile phone in one hand, "Well, I just finished training and I'm going to take a shower."

"Then I hang up first?"

"It's okay, someone is using the bathroom now." Looking at the empty bathroom, Liu Lian Er said so.

"I remember you shared a room with Yukimura-kun and Sanada-kun?"

"Well, Yukimura is in the bathroom now." Silenced Yukimura Seichi who had just entered the room, Liu Renji pointed to the direction of the bathroom with his eyes, indicating that he didn't wash it yet, so that the iris-haired The teenager went to the bath first.

"Lian Er, haven't we seen each other for four days?"

"4 days, 07 hours, 23 minutes, 08 seconds." Reaching out to glance at his watch, the brown-haired boy reported the exact time.

"Why do you say, at that time it was no problem for four years, but now I can't even survive four days." Holding his chin with one hand, Takeuchi Kiyomi's gaze was fixed on the white wall.

Because now you are only me, although this is the answer, but Liu Lian Er can't say it outright.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a few seconds, followed by Takeuchi Kiyomi's helpless laughter, "Sorry, Renji, I said something strange."

"What did Uemura-san tell you?" It was easy to understand, and there were very few people around Kiyomi Takeuchi who could influence her.

There was a subtle pause, the girl probably didn't expect Liu Lian'er to ask such a sharp question, "Umami Village asked me if I ever thought about getting out of my own world."

"It's not necessary for Kiyomi to answer for sure." Having figured out Takeuchi Kiyomi's thinking circuit, Liu Lianji knew that she had always been the kind of character who would cut her own way.

"That was indeed the answer at the time," the light brown-haired girl's voice seemed a little hesitant, lowering her eyes slightly, "but now I'm a little uncertain."

"Is it really okay to just shrink back and be a frog in a well? Is it really okay to just hide in your own world without touching anything?"

"Will it cause trouble for Renji, will it make Mrs. Nami and the others worry, will it make Uemura feel troubled and disappointed?"

"I want to come out to get everyone's approval, but I'm afraid to try when I think that I might lose it in the future. It's better not to have it at the beginning than to lose it. As long as there is Lianji alone, I can hold on Make this barren well a frog."

"It's selfish, isn't it?"

The question with lowered eyes, Takeuchi Kiyomi tried hard to restrain his overflowing negative emotions on the other end of the phone, and Liu Lianer could almost imagine the girl with light brown hair squatting on a chair and curled up on the other end of the phone. It looks like the group is on the phone.

"People are inherently selfish. They always consider themselves before others, and put their own interests first. Don't deny yourself because of this reason, see."

There was a long silence, Liu Lian Er could even hear the alarm clock ticking from the other end of the phone.

Takeuchi Kiyoshi's cold voice was lowered a lot by her, and when the girl spoke again, it was a question that Liu Lianer hadn't expected.

"If I say... I want to fall in love with myself again, is it still too late?"

With some vague expectations and anxiety, Kiyomi Takeuchi wanted to get rid of this self full of negative thoughts.

He obviously likes Liu Lian Er more than anyone else, but hates himself more than anyone else.

Extreme, mean, negative, negative.

At the beginning, it was obviously not like this.

"In time, for sure."

On the other end of the phone were the gentle words of the brown-haired boy, carrying a certain kind of firm force.

The palm of the hand holding the phone is a little hot, and even the temperature on the left cheek is also faintly rising.

Although there is a long distance between Liu Lianer and Liu Lianer, that person seems to be standing beside her.

When the phone was hung up, Seiichi Yukimura came out of the bathroom. Seeing the expression on Yanagi Renji's face, the iris-haired boy suddenly smiled, "What, Renji, what did Kiyomi Takeuchi say to make you happy? What happened?"
