I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 123: Childhood sweethearts, a kiss is normal! (Big chapter!)

The snow outside the hotel window kept falling.

It seems to be trying to turn Tokyo into a world of ice and snow.

In contrast, the air in the room was getting hotter and hotter.

Yuki Mizuno threw herself into Sakurai Itsuki's arms again and hugged him tightly.

This time, she whispered in his ear very seriously: "I have always liked you."

Sakurai Itsuki was slightly stunned, but this time he stood firm and was not knocked down by her.

He once again clearly felt the taste and scent of Yuki Mizuno, and even the softness of her body.

He was quite surprised by this scene, but when he thought back to her singing, he felt it was reasonable.

"I'm sorry, I'm what you call a troublesome person, the poor guy who can't let go."

By now, Yuki Mizuno is no longer secretive.

She rested her cheek against his chest, whispering as her heartbeat deepened.

"I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye that day, but I was already heartbroken because of you. I didn't know how to tell you my feelings, and I didn't know how I, as a young child, would face our separation."

Sakurai Itsuki let her hug him, did not push her away, nor did he hold her in his arms, he just listened quietly.

"When you are not with me, I miss you every day."

Mizuno Yuki continued speaking, her pleasant voice trembling slightly.

"You know what? I imagine every day what expressions we'd have if we met again."

"I pray to God every day, hoping that the past will come back. I tell myself that if I could do it again, I would definitely hug you and tell you how I feel about you."

"So, so, I like you. I have always liked you since a long, long time ago."

As Mizuno Yuki spoke, she became a little dazed.

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what she had said.

But the words kept pouring out from her lips and teeth, flowing out from her heart that had been suppressed for so long.

"I know that after all these years, this will definitely cause you trouble, but I can no longer allow it. I'm once again being duplicious, and my feelings for you have to be buried deep in my heart."

"Sorry, please forgive my willfulness and my inability to understand the atmosphere. But I just like you."

Yuki Mizuno poured out the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart to him.

She finally spoke out.

But at this moment she was grabbing the clothes on his back, trembling slightly in his arms, nervous and scared.

I didn't dare look up at his face.

Hearing that Mizuno Yuki finally stopped speaking, Sakurai Itsuki finally raised his hands and gently patted her back and head.

It's like soothing a small animal.

"What are you apologizing for?" Sakurai Itsuki calmed down a bit and then said, "I don't feel any trouble at all."

Feeling the comfort from Sakurai Itsuki, Mizuno Yuki's face couldn't help but feel hot: "Well, well."

Sakurai Shu said softly: "Actually, I liked you too."

Mizuno Yuki just felt a surge of joy in her heart, but then she discovered the key point: "I liked it before."

Yuki Mizuno raised her head with a wry smile, took another close look at Sakurai Itsuki's face, then took a half step back and left Sakurai Itsuki's arms.

There is only one word difference between "like" and "have liked", but there is such a world of difference between them.

"Yes, I did. I'm sure that before we parted, as a child, I must have harbored some kind of ambiguous feelings for you."

Sakurai Itsuki was unusually serious.

Yuki Mizuno, whose ankle was still injured, sighed, then sat on the soft bed in the hotel, supported her body with her arms, and looked up at the ceiling.

"So, if I told you that day, would the ending be different? Would it transcend time and distance?"

"Who knows?" Sakurai Itsuki just said so.

After a brief silence, Mizuno Yuki reluctantly spoke again: "Can't we just go back to the past?"

"Don't dwell on the past. We've changed so much compared to the past." Sakurai Itsuki replied, "The person you like may not necessarily be the me of today."

"Yeah. You've become a cartoonist now, and you can write songs, and you've grown taller. That's great."

Yuki Mizuno thought that the person standing in front of her was indeed very different from the person in her memory.

"You are also very good. I think you will become a great singer in the future, even better than me." Sakurai Itsuki said.

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Yuki turned around and asked, "So, if that's the case, then I have no chance at all? Is that girl named Sato really that perfect?"

Sakurai Itsuki waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with her. It's just that I don't have any thoughts of falling in love at the moment. I'm overwhelmed by all the things going on."

Yuki Mizuno was stunned, not knowing whether this was good news or bad news.

He has no intention of accepting my confession and being with me now.

But fortunately, from what he said, it seemed that he was not with anyone else yet.

Things had developed to this point, so there was no need for Mizuno Yuki to be shy. She asked bluntly, "When will you start thinking about falling in love?"

"Maybe it's when you realize one day that you're particularly attracted to a certain girl."

The answer given by Sakurai Itsuki was quite vague.

But Mizuno Yuki immediately gave a clear answer: "In other words, as long as you are truly moved, then it's fine! I can pursue you too!"

Sakurai Itsuki and Mizuno Yuki couldn't help but look at each other.

And Yuki Mizuno's beautiful and watery eyes seemed particularly determined at this moment.

She had confessed everything and had nothing to fear.

She can't miss him again!
So she can't continue like the past, she has to make changes!

Mizuno Yuki: "If I really succeed in pursuing you and make you fall in love with me again, doesn't that mean that even if you have changed, I still really like the changed you? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pursue you, right?"

Sakurai Itsuki was also stunned.

In his memory, Mizuno Yuki should be a girl as insincere as Hane Shion.

Not only did she confess directly today, but even after being politely rejected, she still continued to pursue him.

She is completely different from the person in my memory.

"Well, let me make it clear first, I'm a troublesome person with a bad temper, and I might hurt you emotionally." Sakurai Itsuki reminded him.

"It's okay. I'll definitely cause more trouble anyway. Even if you pester me, I won't let you go easily. I'm not afraid even if you're riddled with holes."

Yuki Mizuno shook her head, then took a deep breath and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

That's right, there's no need for her to relive the past.

After so many years, she has been scarred by regret. Next, she will rush towards her future!
Mizuno Yuki: "I'll take this as permission. I can pursue you! You won't hate it, will you?"

"Well, actually, having a beautiful idol girl like you chasing after you wouldn't be a nuisance for any single man, right?"

Sakurai Itsuki felt that pursuing others was her own right and she had no right to interfere.

Of course, the most important thing is that he really doesn't hate her in his heart.

Sakurai Itsuki joked, "But be careful, I might be a bad man who will use your singing to profit from it."

Sakurai Itsuki also has the idea of working with Yukiko to make money in the future.

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Yuki answered without hesitation: "Just use me!"

Obviously, she was no longer concerned about whether to make money or not.

Mizuno Yuki also realized that she was just a fool in love, but so what? She was willing and happy.

"Oh no, you're so straightforward, I'm really a little moved, please don't spoil me into a scumbag"

After hearing Mizuno Yuki's straightforward answer, Sakurai Itsuki looked away with a weakened look and joked.

He is obviously the one who is favored, but why does Yuki Mizuno seem so fearless?

"Then try not to become a scumbag and just be attracted to me."

Yuki Mizuno blushed, not knowing how she could have said such shameful words.

Sakurai Itsuki scratched his head, then took the spray from the medical kit as if fleeing, "It's time to spray the medicine."

"Ah."

Yuki Mizuno nodded. She didn't know whether this was a good ending or a bad ending.

In short, compared to the heart-wrenching torture before.

She could now smile and lift her cold feet again, handing them to him.

Sakurai Itsuki lowered his head, looked at Mizuno Yuki's feet, swallowed, then squatted down and continued to help her treat the sprained foot.

He was actually a little afraid to look up and meet the eyes that seemed to be tearing him apart.

"Let me make this clear first. It's everyone's right to pursue someone they like, but you can't do anything excessive. If you do, I'll call the police."

Sakurai Itsuki said.

Inexplicably, I felt that this girl seemed to be becoming abnormal.

I was a little afraid that she might do something extreme, so I warned her.

"Ah, how can I pursue a boy so as to go beyond the limit and call the police?" Yuki Mizuno tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"For example, he wanted to rape me or something." Sakurai Itsuki answered subconsciously.

"Really? What kind of girl would pursue a boy in that way? Don't make such a joke."

Mizuno Yuki blushed slightly, reached out her hand, and gently hit Sakurai Itsuki's shoulder with a coquettish strength.

Sakurai Itsuki remained silent, suggesting that it might be a joke, and then sprayed the spray on her red and swollen feet.

"Hiss" Yuki Mizuno frowned slightly in pain.

But the gentle boy who was standing at her feet with his head down, had his tightly furrowed brows relaxed in an instant.

Even if it hurts a little more now, it must be joyful and make people happy.

Maybe it's just unrequited love at the moment, but it's better than the confusion I felt when I didn't even know the person's face.

The goal is right in front of me now, and I am so happy.

"It's snowing heavily outside."

Mizuno Yuki turned her head to look out the window at the falling snow and said, "Will Tokyo's trains stop running like Hokkaido?"

"Are you learning and applying what you learned immediately, hinting that I should stay?" Sakurai Itsuki asked as he slowly stood up.

"Oh no."

Yuki Mizuno suddenly realized that what she said seemed to be hinting at him to stay, and she quickly waved her hand with a red face.

But then he lowered his head and said, "However, if you want to stay, I don't object."

"It's too dangerous for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room on a snowy night," said Sakurai Itsuki.

"Aren't you also in the same room with that blonde girl? You two aren't dating, obviously."

Yuki Mizuno asked back. As expected, she was quite concerned about the blonde girl who had been around her all day.

"She and I are just tenants in the same house. We are not as close as you think. We live on different floors and usually don't stay in the same room, let alone spend the night in the same room."

Sakurai Itsuki explained, not knowing where she heard it from.

"She can't be thinking about Qiangqiang, that girl of yours." Mizuno Yuki nodded, and suddenly thought of the conversation between Hase Hatsuna and Sato Wakaba.

He asked stutteringly.

I didn't expect that a girl who looked so sunny would be so bold.

"Ah, that's not the case. But it was just a joke. She's actually a real coward."

Sakurai Itsuki twitched his lips, but ultimately helped the young lady retain her reputation.

"Oh, I see. That's a relief." Yuki Mizuno breathed a sigh of relief.

If Sato Wakaba really wanted to do something like this, she would really be worried.

But for other people, if that person is very timid, there should be nothing to be afraid of.

Sakurai Itsuki was slightly stunned when listening to Mizuno Yuki's speech.

This attitude is too straightforward. Don't you want to hide it?

"But it's snowing too hard right now. Let's wait until it's a little lighter before going home. My feet aren't feeling well right now, so please stay with me for a while."

Yuki Mizuno shook her exposed foot at Sakurai Itsuki.

"Or, if I continue to stay here, you will be unable to suppress the restlessness in your heart and fall in love with me?"

Yuki Mizuno tilted her head. Although she had a blushing, innocent first love face, she spoke like a little devil.

"I'm not as easily moved as you think. You're still far from it, Sister Yuki."

Sakurai Itsuki joked, thinking that if he was so impatient, he would have slept with a young lady or some hot girl long ago.

"is it?"

Yuki Mizuno suddenly stood up from the bed again.

She stood on one foot, trying to stand on tiptoe.

Then, the warm lips gently kissed Sakurai Itsuki's cheek.

Crispy and numb.
This is how Jingtian felt when Xuejian kissed him on the face for the first time.

It was also the touch on Sakurai Itsuki's face.

Because she couldn't stand steadily on one leg, she just touched his cheek lightly with her lips, and then Mizuno Yuki lost her balance and sat on the bed again.

Sakurai Tree, who had just wanted to express his Sigma spirit, touched his face in bewilderment. It was the first time he had encountered such a direct
Mizuno Yuki smiled and looked at Sakurai Itsuki, who blushed for the first time, and asked, "Is it really that difficult?"

“That’s a bit excessive.”

Sakurai Itsuki said that this was too beyond the scope.

Even Sato Wakaba had never done such an intimate thing.

Looking at Sakurai Itsuki's reaction, Mizuno Yuki blushed and explained with a sense of accomplishment.

"Kissing the cheek is a very common etiquette in the West. As friends and childhood sweethearts, a kiss on the cheek wouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

"Although that's the case, we are all Orientals after all, so next time we should be more Oriental. I'm going to rest on the sofa for a while."

Sakurai Itsuki said this, then turned his head and went to the sofa not far away.

And remind yourself in your heart to stay calm. If you can't resist the temptation now and accidentally fire the gun, it will cause a lot of trouble.

But Yuki Mizuno laughed when she saw this.

Is he shy?

What? It seems like I have a good chance too!

I should be much better than that girl who only threatens to rape him but doesn't dare to do it!
