"Ah, welcome."

The little flying bird walked into the bookstore with steps.

She hesitated in front of the bookshelf, picking up a book from time to time to read the introduction on the cover, and then putting it back down with a pouted mouth.

"Um...is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing the little flying bird wandering back and forth, the bookstore clerk who was idle came up and asked.

"Hmm...is there any novel based on that theme?" Xiao Feiniao asked timidly.

"that?"

"It's...the kind of kiss..." she said softly.

"Ah, you're talking about a romance novel, right?"

"Uh... not really, it's just..."

The clerk looked at her doubtfully, and Xiao Feiniao mustered up the courage to speak straightforwardly.

"...the kind of two girls."

The clerk suddenly realized.

"GL's theme, right?"

"GL?"

"It's girls love," the clerk explained patiently, "the love between girls."

"Love love love love love?!" Xiao Feiniao blushed, "There is love between girls?!"

The clerk nodded and guided her to the bookshelf on the other side.

"There are quite a lot of this kind of novels recently and they are quite popular. Of course, there are more works written by men."

Xiao Feiniao looked at the several books placed on the bookshelf, with all kinds of random names, such as "Her and Her" and "Forbidden Love". She didn't even notice the more extreme titles. Some books had printed

There are illustrations of two girls hugging each other, or one raising the other's chin and about to kiss each other, which expresses the theme explicitly.

Little Feiniao blushed and browsed through a few books, feeling like he had opened the door to a new world.

"Are these okay?"

"Ma, I'm sorry to bother you."

The clerk said goodbye and left. Xiao Feiniao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he started reading the contents of the book in his hand again.

She flipped through a few pages, and the general content was a story about a junior high school girl who had a crush on a senior in the club, but was too shy to express it, and was overtaken by another senior. Of course, most of the characters who appeared were girls.

Xiao Feiniao looked back at the author's introduction on the title page. It looked like a girl's name, but who knew whether it was true or false.

Maybe it was a work written by a middle-aged man in a dirty single apartment, Xiao Feiniao sniffed.

——Don’t tell anyone.

Xiao Feiniao still remembers the complicated smile shown when Wu Geng said this sentence. She is still young and it is difficult to understand complicated things. In most cases, she will choose to avoid them childishly. In the school test,

When she encounters a question she doesn't understand, she always jumps away decisively without thinking about it.

But there are some things that cannot be completely avoided even if you try to avoid them.

When she opened her eyes, she happened to see Nishino leaning down and pressing his lips to Wu Geng's lips. The amount of information in this scene was really huge. Her eyes widened, and the remaining sleepiness was driven away in the blink of an eye by the picture in front of her.

Er Jing, when Nishino got up, she closed her eyes tightly in panic, fearing that she would be discovered.

After that, she heard Nishino's intermittent and choked words again. This was really not a good time. She held her breath and just wanted to wait for the tension in her heart to subside before pretending that nothing had happened and woke up naturally. Unexpectedly, she was still

Discovered on the fifth watch.

This was the first time Xiao Feiniao saw Wu Geng showing that kind of expression. Thinking back on it, she felt like her heart was being grabbed.

Nishino's reaction didn't look like a joke, so what was the reason that pushed Nishino to do that behavior? Love? Little Asuka didn't understand.

She is only fourteen years old, and it is too heavy to talk about the topic of "love" at this age. However, Xiao Asuka likes Wu Geng, Nishino who has always taken care of her, everyone in the Wu Cola Group, Ikuta, and Hoshino.

I like the gentle Hashimoto the most. She likes the group Nogizaka46.

She somewhat wanted to understand Nishino's emotions. Although Wu Geng told her not to tell anyone, she couldn't stay out of it at all, so she wanted to understand it from novels. But there seemed to be nothing worth referencing.

The little bird sighed and put the novel back in its place.

"...Asuka-chan?"

It's Hashimoto. At this moment, she is looking at the little bird with a smile, holding a hard-cover book in her hand.

Xiao Feiniao was panicked and smiled stiffly.

"Asuka-chan is here to buy books too?"

Hashimoto came forward with interest. She had the impression that she had never seen Little Asuka reading in the lounge. She looked at the bookshelf next to her and frowned in confusion.

"...GL counter? Little Flying Bird, do you like this kind of subject matter?"

Facing Hashimoto's subtle gaze, Xiao Asuka blushed with anxiety.

"No way! I-I like the books on this side!"

She casually pulled out a book from the other side without reading the title, and held it up to Hashimoto's eyes.

Hashimoto took the book from Asuka's hand and looked back and forth, but the subtle emotion in his eyes did not change.

"...Do you really like this one?" she asked, pointing to the rather gloomy cover of the book.

Only then did Xiao Feiniao realize that the book he was holding called "Random Reflexes" was a work with a heavy theme that focused on human nature and social issues. However, no matter how heavy it was, it was still much better than coming here to read GL-themed novels.

She had no choice but to nod her head, "Asuka, I like this kind of subject the most, about the ugliness of human nature, the collapse of families, the collapse of social order, etc."

"Really or not..." Hashimoto was a little stunned.

The things that the usually innocent little Asuka likes are very different from her sweet appearance, but considering that he started reading celebrity biographies when he was in elementary school, Hashimoto is not qualified to speak against her.

She thought for a while and said, "Then I'll pay for this copy for Asuka-chan, and it will be a Valentine's Day gift."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Feiniao to express his position, he went to the counter to settle the bill.

Little Flying Bird secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed quickly. At the same time, he complained in his heart that he didn't choose a bookstore far away from the training room when buying books. It was okay this time. He relied on his wit to fool him, but he might not be like this next time.

Good luck.

At the entrance of the bookstore, Hashimoto handed the paper bag containing the books to Xiao Asuka, who accepted it silently.

Hashimoto often took out books from her bag and read them when she was free in the group, so Xiao Asuka always felt that she should know many issues that she didn't understand.

If you tell Hashimoto your confusion, you might be able to get a suitable answer, but Xiao Asuka has already agreed not to tell anyone.

"Nanamin, Feiniao, I like you." Xiao Feiniao said softly.

Hashimoto was startled for a moment, then smiled and patted the little bird on the head.

"Yes, yes, Asuka-chan has said it countless times, so this is just a thank you gift to thank you for 'liking' me."

"So... Nanamin likes birds?" She raised her head slightly and asked innocently.

"I like it. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't give Asuka-chan anything."

"Then...Does Nanamin love Asuka?"

Hashimoto's hand that patted her head stopped, and he looked at her in astonishment, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Who told you such a topic? Asuka-chan, it's too early for you to have sex at your age."

Asuka pouted angrily, seemingly dissatisfied with this cunning answer.

Hashimoto pinched her chubby cheeks

"Asuka-chan, love and liking are completely different things. You can like many people, and there will be many people who like Asuka, but love is only available in limited quantities to some people. So don't talk about it easily.

By the way."

"Is kissing a proof of love?" Xiao Feiniao asked.

Hashimoto flicked Little Asuka's forehead with his bent fingers, "I've been told not to talk about love easily at such a young age."

Xiao Feiniao covered her forehead and said, "Nanamin told me!"

"Hmm...actually I don't know. After all, I have never experienced this kind of thing. It should vary from person to person," Hashimoto said, "But whether you love each other or not is another matter. If we don't like each other,

No matter how close a person is, they will not let go of their body's defenses to accept another person's approaching lips."

"Nanamin, can you explain it more simply? Asuka still doesn't quite understand." Little Asuka frowned and spoke.

Hashimoto laughed, and raised his hand unexpectedly to mess up Asuka's hair, "I told you it's too early for you, brat!"

"Ah, don't...Nanamin, you idiot!"

"Then Asuka-chan is a little idiot, haha."
