"Shixiao-chan."

Hashimoto raised his hand and shook it in front of Wu Geng's face to call her attention.

"Ah, Nanamin."

Hashimoto followed Wugeng's line of sight and saw Nishino and Nakamoto sitting together in the store through the glass, seemingly talking about something.

"Na-chan and Hika are also reconciled." Hashimoto sighed.

Wu Geng nodded, "It happened a long time ago."

Both of them can feel very definite and distinct changes. Regarding the members themselves and the relationship between them. Nothing remains unchanged. This is true for disputes, but also for friendship and love.

Few people can maintain an open attitude towards this change and choose to embrace it.

Wu Geng gradually discovered that since joining the group, she has been in a passive acceptance position. Because she has no goals or pursuits, she also lacks the direct motivation to act. It was Nishino who pulled her into the change.

Nishino has always been proactive.

Take the initiative to invite Wu Geng out on a date, take the initiative to reveal your emotions, and take the initiative to maintain the close relationship between the two. How deep is the love that makes one person invest so much enthusiasm and time for another person. Wu Geng

At this moment, I deeply felt the dedication and exhaustion of Nishino after taking all kinds of initiatives.

"By the way, Nanamin, what do you want to say?"

Wu Geng looked at Hashimoto. She didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more she looked into it, the more she could understand the deep and oppressive feeling of shame. It was silent but magnificent. Wu Geng really didn't have the strength to resist.

You can choose to escape temporarily.

Hashimoto's eyes still fell on Nishino inside the store.

"Shixiao-chan, do you think we are too nosy?" she asked.

"Um?"

"I have discussed it with Mai Mai and the others. We want to use today's date to give you a chance to communicate rationally and sort out your feelings."

Wu Geng also had a vague premonition, so she was not very surprised. She just looked at Hashimoto's profile and thought of the gaffe of the senior team members last night.

"Nanamin too..." She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't finish her words, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Thank you."

After Hashimoto was silent for a while, he patted Wu Geng on the shoulder.

"Don't be busy thanking me yet," she said, and then motioned to Wu Geng to look at Asuka on the other side, who was leaning against the corner and kicking pebbles on the ground, accompanied by Fukawa, "The matter here has not been resolved yet."

"I know." she said.

Wu Geng looked at Xiao Asuka's back with confusion, bit his lip, and looked at Nishino in the store again.

She took a deep breath.

For the first time, she confirmed her responsibility. She had the responsibility to pull out the knife that penetrated it. If she left it alone for fear of bleeding and pain, the wound would not even have a chance to heal.

——

"Asuka, what are you doing?"

Fukawa squatted next to Xiao Asuka and watched her gather the pebbles into a pile with her feet.

Asuka didn't speak either. She had stopped talking since she and Nishino came back from the bathroom, and she was quiet while eating. This state of mind that could be seen through at a glance made Hashimoto Fukagawa and others worried but also found it funny.

.

Adults wouldn't use such an obvious way to cause trouble. Fukawa shook his head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu Geng walking over with a solemn expression and realized something. Fukawa stood up and patted her skirt, "Then I'll leave first. Shixiao-chan seems to have something important to tell Asuka."

"...Maimai."

Xiao Asuka spoke hesitantly, as if she wanted to keep Fukawa around.

"No, Asuka."

Fukawa smiled softly.

"..."

The little flying bird nodded and let Fukawa walk away silently.

A few seconds, it could be a few minutes, or even more exaggerated, a few hours, a few days, a few months, a few years, or even a few hundred years.

It wasn't until the footsteps of the fifth watch stopped very close that the tension and panic that had lasted for centuries stopped. The passage of time returned to normal.

The little bird didn't dare to raise its head and kept staring at the stones at its feet.

"Birds."

"..."

She pretended not to hear when I called her in the middle of the night.

"Birds."

So Wugeng walked around in front of her. The little bird also turned around hastily, always facing away from Wugeng.

"Flying Bird..." This time it was more helpless.

The little bird suddenly turned red.

She sniffed and said in a low voice, "Go away."

"Go away, you bastard. I don't want to talk now, I don't want to talk to you."

"..."

"Go away, do you hear me? I don't want to see you."

"Why?" Wu Geng asked.

"...I hate you, so I don't want to talk to you or see you."

Wu Geng smiled bitterly, "This reason is really simple and straightforward."

Then there was silence for more than ten seconds.

The little bird heard a heavy, determined breath, "Do you want to listen, bird?"

"……What?"

"answer."

Feiniao tightened her clothes.

Don't want to hear it, she thought.

I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear

I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to hear.

She doesn't want to hear it.

She knows what is the best way to break through Wu Geng's defense.

tears.

She only needs to cry and say how much she likes Wu Geng, saying that she has been looking forward to every tutoring time, saying that she cherishes every compliment Wu Geng gives her, or hurting her, saying she is stupid, saying that she

Silly, saying that she would never be able to go to college without him, saying that she is just a child who cannot grow up, so she likes strawberry milk.

Then she would retort, saying that she is just a child who has not grown up, naive, naive, and ridiculous, otherwise she would not like a fool who has liked him for more than three years and still can't say it out loud.

She is an idiot, and she is also an idiot, so isn't it just right that two idiots live together?

…

But it doesn't work.

Because, that idiot already has a significant other.

"...Don't throw the problem at me. It's your fault whether you say it or not."

"That's right..." Wu Geng smiled bitterly.

"Then...I'm going to say it."

Little Asuka's eyes suddenly turned red, and the unhappiness mixed with fear in her heart was like a branch that suddenly grew, suddenly piercing the mature disguise she maintained.

"Asuka, I——"

"Ah ah ah, just talk, it's no big deal."

She interrupted Wu Geng's words willfully. The pride in her heart that belonged to Saito Asuka did not allow her to accept all this silently. At least not in this passive way.

"Anyway, that's what you are like, you are like this. You are slow, short, and have extremely short legs. You also like to touch people's heads. You don't care if they want it or not. You pretend to be a mature adult. You are obviously just an underage stinker.

Little devil."

Wu Geng was stunned for a moment, then he touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Asuka, you really have a sharp tongue. Although it's not meant to be preaching, I still have to say, it's best to reconsider the ratio of tsundere to tsundere."

"...I want you to take care of it." Xiao Feiniao muttered.

"Don't let me worry about you. I've been doing it for more than three years." Wu Geng seemed to have found the feeling of bickering and noisy with the little flying bird in the past, and his state became more relaxed.

Xiao Feiniao was silent for a moment and said, "I won't need it anymore."
