Su Qing looked over upon hearing the sound.
The shimmering light shone on the girl's profile, revealing a quiet beauty. Her eyes sparkled, and the bun on her head swayed gently.
The girl is really cute.
Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, and time seemed to slow down for a moment.
He finally smiled.
Compared to before, it was infinitely gentler.
Without saying a word, he simply took out a piece of candy, put it in his mouth, and stopped looking out the window.
—The candy was surprisingly sweet.
Yui would glance at Su Qing from time to time, then smile, her eyes sparkling like stars.
She suddenly looked out the window, wanting to see what he was looking at.
As expected, I saw nothing.
but it does not matter.
Yui thought to herself, Su Qing has always been illuminating her, like a ray of light entering my world.
Perhaps this ray of light doesn't necessarily belong to her.
Maybe she just happened to find it.
Perhaps she will have to return this ray of light to the sun before sunset.
But even if it's only for a brief moment.
Even if she could only be one ray of light in a ray of light.
She also wanted to illuminate Su Qing's path.
As the girl pondered, her understanding grew clearer and clearer.
She glanced at the boy a few times, then smiled with her eyes crinkling.
She smiled very sweetly.
It's so sweet it's intoxicating.
It's so sweet it breaks your heart.

Chapter 285 Relationship Patterns
?
The scenery by the window is like a scroll being rapidly flipped through by the hand of time, scene after scene flashing by, dazzling the eyes.
High-speed trains travel at near-mythical speeds, and such convenience has long been an integral part of modern life.
For the ancients, it was undoubtedly an unattainable dream.
It has been said that if one could exceed the speed of light, one could travel through the river of time.
So, will there come a day when a train, brimming with the spirit of the future, will quietly descend upon this world?
Perhaps we, decades from now, are sitting on that train.
They outran time.
So they wanted to see "us," which they had personally lost, in the last flicker of their lives.
?
Despite the train traveling at lightning speed, the interior was incredibly quiet.
A space that appears to be still.
Perhaps it was because I didn't sleep well yesterday, or perhaps it was because I felt too safe and secure being so close to Su Qing.
Yui gradually felt sleepy, her head drooping down from time to time, and her pink hair ornament swayed along with it, like a child playing on a pirate ship, bringing a touch of fun to those around her.
Su Qing glanced sideways at the girl's face, remaining silent for a long time.
Is it unwillingness, or fear?
Since getting together with Mahiru, he has been thinking about how he and Yui would get along, and the little moments they spent together would play on repeat in his mind.
Only now is her smile, brighter than the sun, captured in a still image.
It is the world's purest and most beautiful treasure.
But he already has a treasure he wants to protect for the rest of his life.
Although establishing a romantic relationship with Mahiru does not mean cutting off all relationships with the opposite sex, he can no longer treat Yui the same way as before.
At the very least, behaviors like "like recharging" that Yui said that day are not acceptable.
In a normal friendship, there wouldn't be any "charging" behavior, right?
Su Qing lowered her eyes, making her already deep eyes appear even darker.
So dark that even the world's most outstanding psychology masters couldn't see whether he was struggling with indecision or hesitation.
The girl didn't know what had happened to him, but she was still willing to give him her light, and he received it without hesitation.
Su Qing let out a soft breath. With the cherry blossom girl beside him, he felt a strange sense of peace.
It is so calm that it can gradually soothe the restlessness in one's heart.
—That's a strange feeling I get as soon as I leave the daytime.
I can't possibly be both a love-obsessed person and a womanizer, can I?
That is impossible.
Could it be related to the degree of [contamination] of the Clear Mirror Still Water Heart?
If that's really the case, then how should it be controlled...?
As Su Qing was pondering, she felt a heavy weight on her shoulder.
What followed was a soft, slightly itchy sensation.
That was Yui's dumpling, which was currently resting on his face, while Yui herself was lying on his shoulder.
Su Qing's face immediately darkened.
What on earth was this guy doing last night?
Are you really that sleepy...?
He subconsciously lowered his breathing, seemingly worried about disturbing the girl beside him.
Su Qing did not choose to wake up Yui.
........
He knew Yui hadn't done it on purpose; she must have known something.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately explained to herself why she was sitting with him.
In short, that's all he can do.
Give her a bottle of bayberries, or don't try to wake her up.
To say that Su Qing had absolutely no feelings for Yui in that respect...
That's completely impossible.
But what if he actually reciprocates that feeling?
The person who should be most sorry is Mahiru.
Similarly, I'm sorry to Yui.
The girl doesn't need this kind of pity.
Yes, it's pity.
A girl who blooms like a cherry blossom understands this better than anyone else.
.....
?
"The train is about to arrive at the station..."
Suddenly, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.
For a while.
The students in the class packed their luggage and prepared to leave the station.
Yui woke up at that moment, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and let out a big yawn.
She didn't seem to realize that she had just slept on Su Qing's shoulder, and Su Qing didn't tell her about it.
"Aido... seems to have arrived at the station?"
Yui was still groggy, and her voice sounded low and hoarse because she had just woken up.
"Drink it, you don't need to pay me back."
It wasn't until Su Qing handed her a bottle of water that she regained her former cheerfulness, as if she had been reborn.
"Hmm. I'm alive again! Thank you, Xiaoqing~ Hey. I can carry my own suitcase."
Yui was still thanking him when she saw Su Qing unload her pink suitcase, so she quickly added.
"...They've all been moved down, it was just a quick thing to do. Let's go, we've arrived."
Su Qing said nonchalantly.
The bullet train happened to stop at that moment, so he dragged his suitcase and left.
Yui stood there stunned for a second, and only after Su Qing left did she whisper something very softly.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you..."
.....
?
As soon as you step out of the station, the atmosphere of Kyoto wafts in on the wind.
What comes into view is a unique architectural style that blends the past and the present, unlike the completely modernized Tokyo.
However, there's no time to appreciate Kyoto's architecture after exiting the station.
The group activities in the first two days did not give the students much free time.
On the one hand, it's about reflecting the spirit of Zongwu High School students; on the other hand, it's about being concerned about their safety.
soon.
Class C was assembled by Hiratsuka Shizuka and divided into several rows, ready to begin roll call.
Roll call can be a bit boring.
Since Hikigaya was busy talking to Ayaka, Su Qing wisely refrained from disrupting their atmosphere.
I took out my phone to ask Mahiru where she was, and she sent me a message as if by telepathy.
To be precise, it's a picture.
[Mahiru]: Look! It's Mount Fuji! (Image.jpg)
[Qing]: I have a question.
[Mahiru]: I took this picture... Is it not good?
[Qing]: No. I saw it when I came, but I thought it was just so-so. But I don't know why, when you shared it with me, I thought it was very beautiful.
[Mahiru]: Hmm (animated expression)
Oh? It's probably just the phone's built-in beauty filter...
Even though they weren't face-to-face, based on her understanding of Mahiru, Su Qing subconsciously pictured the adorable expression on her face.
