[Comprehensive] fleeting notebook

"Well, I don't like green peppers."

"Also, I don't want to eat bear biscuits either."

"Also, I don't like eating natto with green onion."

"And, I don't want to ride a tricycle around Kasukabe with you while singing Superman."

……

The girl's sudden words caused the two of them to fall into an eerie silence.

Immediately, a girl's sigh came from the receiver.

"Hey... have you been infected by Shinnosuke-kun?"

Between the sighs, there was a hint of a smile that was not difficult to detect.

Bai Lan, who was holding up the receiver, couldn't stop laughing out loud.The more you laugh, the brighter your laughter becomes.

To be honest, I am a little envious of the kid Shinnosuke Nohara being able to express his love for his "big sister" without hesitation and without hindrance. It is a child's privilege to simply express his own feelings. Feelings, don't have to think so much.

It's just that the incident at Nohara's family just now made him feel a little impulsive... However, after the call was connected, the complicated reason suddenly restrained his impulsiveness.As soon as the words came to his lips, they became the usual pick-up words that Nohara Kid used.

I wanted to tease Xiaozheng, but I didn't expect that Xiaozheng had already heard it. Really, it felt like he was choked instead.

"but……"

The girl's elongated and joyful voice came from the receiver, with hints of teasing and mischievousness... Just listening to the other party's voice, the mood will rise unconsciously.

Really, did he sink in... The empty hand couldn't help holding his forehead, but he couldn't hide the curvature of his lips.

"But what...Xiaozheng?"

Even his tone of voice couldn't conceal the good mood from the heart, without a trace of pretense.

"However... if it's eating marshmallows with you, I'd be happy."

The violet eyes widened slightly, and the brilliance in the eyes revealed the mood index... Really, it's too good to be good.

"Hmm~ Riding a tricycle around Kasukabe is something only children do... How about a two-wheeled bicycle?"

"Hmm...it sounds...not bad~"

……

On Sunday, the suburbs of Kasukabe.

The towering green trees on both sides block the scorching sun in summer, and the light-colored flowers on the trees add a fresh, light fragrance.

On the boulevard, a bicycle speeds past.

"Hey... you should slow down..." The slightly reproachful words of the girl sitting sideways on the back seat were mixed with silver bell-like laughter.

The boy on the bike didn't intend to slow down at all.

"Then...Xiaozheng just hug me tight~um~or you can just lean on my back~"

The pure white hair swayed in the wind, and the bangs on the forehead were blown cheerfully.

"Hey, hey, isn't it, so you like watching youth romance dramas." Teasing the other party, the girl raised her eyebrows slightly.

At this moment, the boy stopped the car slowly.

Holding the handlebars with both hands, he turned around and looked at the girl in the back seat with a smile, his long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed into slits.

"Hey~Xiaozheng... Do we want to be the hero and heroine of a youth romance drama, huh?"

Irie was slightly stunned, but it was only for a moment, and then she raised her usual smile: "Bai Lan, student Jesuo... I can understand that you are confessing to me?

"Xiaozheng, this is the second time I've confessed to you, if I'm rejected again... I won't be able to bear the blow~"

A visual sense of "I'm so wronged" and "My little heart is so fragile".

The girl tilted her head and put on an expression of "too naive to be silly and sweet": "The second time...has it happened before?"

"It was a few days before the friendly match against Hyotei Academy, that morning, on the way to school after getting off the tram."

"Ah... That time, that time, I thought you were acting... But, even if it wasn't, I wouldn't agree. The you at that time... made me feel that it wasn't real enough."

"So... what about this time?"

Looking expectantly at the girl, the girl also turned her head slightly to look at him.

……

When I first met this white hair, to be honest, she was very speechless... Is there really such a thick-skinned (crossed out) person in the world?When I first met her, I looked like "knowing each other for several years" and "who we are with whom".

A new neighbor, a new classmate, or a new tablemate... This series of "coincidences" gave her a guess... Could this white hair approach her on purpose?

But soon, she dismissed the speculation, attributing it to her own jump syndrome.Why?Tsk... She has no money, no looks, no family background, and no superpowers, so she can do anything to her.

After getting in touch with her, she found that this white hair from Italy...has a serious second-school mentality, which runs counter to her belief, who advocates the three laws of jump!

But even so, she didn't hate his approach.Although there is a big difference in concept, she will not deny him because of this.

In fact, she thinks that every boy in the second year of middle school is just a child who is so vulnerable and lonely that he feels distressed in a certain corner of his heart.

Therefore, it is the performance of a mature adult to be able to graduate from Secondary Two and move towards National Three as soon as possible.

"It is not the world that is beautiful, but your gaze that bears the beauty of the world."

I remember what she told him at the time.

"Xiaozheng, here it is for you. Hmm~ the world in Xiaozheng's eyes... is also very beautiful."

That night, under the bell tower, at the [-]th ringing of the bell, he magically gave her a bouquet of white autumn peonies.

Maybe it was that moment when her heartbeat missed a beat for the first time.

But she didn't think too much about it at the time, after all, it's normal for hormones to play a role in puberty.

Later, the incident at Sakakino Academy... and the accident at Bingsheng, I have experienced a lot with him without knowing it, whether it is thrilling incidents or some trivial things in daily life, the bond with him is just like this It was built up bit by bit.

I also got to know him step by step; in my life, I gradually got used to his existence.In this way, the teenager who parachuted from Italy was stationed in her "country".

I had a heartbeat for him that surpassed friendship, probably when I traveled to the end of the curtain.

Mou Ran came to a strange era alone, she should have been terrified, but...why is she so peaceful...

Yes, because he was there.At that time, I really felt that as long as he was there, as long as I held his hand, she would have the courage to face all difficulties.

Later, after returning to modern times, she seriously thought about her feelings for him.I also questioned myself, is it just because of the special situation at that time, so I only depended on him as a friendship?

The answer is no... She also has a lot of male friends, but the feeling of being with him is different from the feeling of being with Jirocho and Basang.

But she didn't know if she should show her feelings, or... She didn't know if she should like him.

Because although he always smiled and laughed, many times, she always felt that she couldn't see through him, and felt that the smile was unreal, like a disguise.

It's too tiring and too insecure to be with someone who uses a smile as a mask.

However, during these long and steady days, she found that he was changing, changing little by little, becoming real little by little, becoming like a normal person little by little.

How could he not move her heart when he was gradually returning to reality.

Not only will his touching her not make her disgusted, but it will make her heart beat faster and she will faintly look forward to the next time... This, probably means he really likes it.

"You are also part of my 'country'."

Now, Bai Lan, do you understand the meaning of what I said at that time?

You are such a smart person, it is impossible not to understand.

If you made the so-called "second confession" to me because you understood it, then, do you want to know my answer...

Noticing that the girl was looking straight at her, but she hadn't given her answer for a long time, Bai Lan felt a rare uneasiness in her heart.

After hanging up the phone last night, Nohara Kid showed him a contemptuous little look, and then sighed old-fashionedly, "The world of adults is so complicated that you can't even express your liking for someone."

Indeed, sometimes the world of adults is really sad, because for one reason or another, even the simplest and most direct feelings in the heart cannot be expressed to the other party, especially for an extremely complicated adult like him.

Then, let him be a simple child...

Just when Bai Lan opened his mouth to speak again, Rujiang hooked his fingers towards Bai Lan, motioning him to come closer.

Bai Lan, who was waiting for the answer a little anxiously, lowered her head slightly... There was a soft touch on her cheek.

The girl raised her head slightly, and lightly kissed the boy's delicate cheek with her pink lips.

A kiss that was neither deep nor shallow, clean and tender to the extreme, yet extremely tender to the heart.

……

He stayed for a while, and when the boy finally came to his senses, his violet eyes showed surprise and left without haste.

"Xiaozheng..." There was no way to restrain the joy in his eyes, and he didn't want to.

Irie smiled and looked at the boy reflected in her eyes: "Well, first of all, I have never been in a relationship, and my love for cotton candy is average, but... if I eat cotton candy with you, I am willing to try it." Give it a try."

As soon as the words fell, a sweet taste appeared on the tip of her tongue... A marshmallow touched her taste buds, and the boy smiled and stuffed the marshmallow between his fingertips into her mouth.

……

"Hi~ hi~ you guys are so sweet~"

A slightly disturbing voice came.

I saw Xiaoxin riding his own small tricycle with Xiaobai on the back seat, riding past the two of them while teasing.

After riding to the front, he looked like he had gone through all the vicissitudes of life.

"The world of adults is really complicated, it's better to be a child, don't you think so, Xiaobai~"

"Wang! Wang!"

In the back seat, the little white dog that was balled up like cotton candy replied amiably.

Seeing the little one gradually going away, Bai Lan couldn't stop laughing lightly.

This time... I really want to thank this brat.

Indeed, the world of adults is very complicated, but...Xiaozheng, for you, it will be the simplest me.
