I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

Drinking doesn't make you happy; it only makes you think more...

Lies...

Uh...

Why... is this a lie?

A small incident suddenly made An Shu feel wronged.

I trusted you, yet you lied to me... Hoshinomiya-sensei, and Majima-sensei... both of you are liars...

I hate lies...

Uh...

How embarrassing...

Don't cry... Waaah...

Aurelia's arrival seemed to have caused his emotions, which had been suppressed to the point of explosion, to completely spiral out of control.

"Waaaaah..."

How ridiculous, he thinks that way when he's not really thinking straight.

He never imagined that one day he would cry.

"Book……"

A gentle voice sounded in her ear. An Shu took a breath and raised her head. Her long hair was gently lifted by a soft little hand, and her vision opened up.

"I don't want to comfort you, Book," Aurelia murmured softly, then suddenly pulled him into her arms. "I just want to hold you!"

An Shu reeked of alcohol, but Aurelia didn't care. She leaned back on the sofa, hugged An Shu, gently patted his back, and pressed her face against his head.

She remained silent; she neither wanted to say anything nor did she wish to.

That's all you need...

My own book is now missing a warm embrace, a patient confidant, and a listener who only wants to hear the story.

"Book, I love you!"

"Waaaah..."

An Shu didn't know or had forgotten when she last cried.

However, this is the first time I've ever cried in front of a girl...

The crying gradually grew louder.

Because An Shu couldn't hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

Aurelia also felt a pang of sadness, perhaps because she was affected by his trembling body in her arms.

No, it's not heartache...

Aurelia suddenly froze for a moment, even her little hand that was gently patting Anshu's back paused for a second, out of heartache.

Yes, I feel sorry for her.

###Chapter 479 He'll make it up to me with his whole life###

"I feel... um, I feel so sorry for them... sob..."

After overcoming the initial embarrassment and being exposed to the cold wind blowing in through the French windows for so long, An Shu finally calmed down.

Although her mind was completely muddled and she couldn't think of anything complicated, An Shu was now starting to get excited.

The alcohol eventually worked.

An Shu didn't want to wake up, or rather, he didn't know he could wake up.

Aurelia didn't ask anything; he just told her himself.

He blurted out a lot of things, and as soon as he finished speaking, he forgot what words he had just used.

"I see."

Aurelia was still holding him, but unlike before, her pajamas were now soaked in the front, revealing glimpses of her skin underneath.

I don't wear underwear because it's very uncomfortable to wear an upper body bra while sleeping.

This is true for girls.

So you can also see some other things.

Gauze clothing doesn't hold much by itself, and it's even more so when it gets wet.

The wet area was probably from tears, but it could also have been mixed with sweat, since the weather is still quite hot and humid for most people. And maybe there was even some saliva.

Aurelia couldn't tell, but there was definitely no snot, since he had just wiped his nose with a tissue. But these things weren't very important.

That was where An Shu had buried her face earlier, but now she was being held by Aurelia, resting her head on her left collarbone.

Aurelia didn't offer any comment, but instead summarized An Shu's words: "Shu felt sorry for Xiao Weizhi and the others, and had had this thought for a long time. She told Xiao Rem about it, but was scolded by her, so she kept it to herself. That's one reason."

"Ugh... ugh..." An Shu gasped for breath, responding indistinctly. Her head was starting to spin, and the room was swaying.

I feel nauseous again...

Before Aurelia came down, I had already vomited once when I went to the toilet, and I haven't cleaned myself up yet.

"Another reason is that the book feels really wronged. It didn't do anything wrong, yet it was treated like this. After learning about everyone's situation, it felt guilty, especially towards me, because I ran around looking for you, and you even blocked my messages."

"Ugh...cough cough cough..."

An Shu mumbled a syllable, then coughed, and it took her a while to catch her breath.

“That’s about it. First of all, I’ve said it many times already! Book! Look at me!” Aurelia became serious, her crimson pupils narrowing slightly.

"Aurelia... Waaah..."

"I don't know if the book is clear-headed now, or if it will listen to what I just said, but I still have to say it."

I love you, Book, that's all, so you absolutely, absolutely cannot feel guilty or indebted to me! You hear me! As for them, no one knows them all better than me! Book, even the eldest sister doesn't know them as well as I do.

It's not just because I'm special! It's because I'm Aurelia! Whenever there's a minor disagreement or conflict between you guys, I'm the one who mediates! So I understand you all much better than you do! So they absolutely, positively won't blame you! I'm not just trying to make you happy, it's really true. If they see you again, they won't feel anything but happiness!"

As Anshu listened, she suddenly raised her hand, covered her eyes, and laughed: "That's exactly it..."

Aurelia paused for a moment because of An Shu's deep, hoarse voice.

It lacked the usual neutral, crisp, and pleasant sound.

“That’s how it is, Aurelia… why…” he murmured, asking the girl who was hugging him.

"Well"

"Why don't you blame me? Why don't you blame me... Even just a little bit... Waaah... Just a little bit of blame would be nice! Just a little bit of blame would be nice! Waaah..."

"Eh?" Aurelia was stunned once again.

Blame him... a little?

I see……

Aurelia suddenly realized, and the clever girl immediately understood.

If the love is not reciprocated, it will only make the other person feel burdened and unable to accept it with a clear conscience.

So, blame him a little...

So that's why he felt he had let Xiao Weizhi and the others down.

Yes.

Aurelia suddenly curled the corners of her lips: "If you think I don't blame you, you're sorely mistaken, Book."

"Waaah..."

"But before I blame you, let me ask if my arrival has caused any trouble for the book?"

"Ugh, no."

Will my love for books bother them?

"……Won't."

"If I leave Shu and marry another man, will Shu feel heartbroken and sad?"

"meeting……"

"Book, I've always known that books dislike lies other than jokes, so you absolutely cannot lie to me either. Please answer my three questions again, okay?"

"Aurelia won't cause me any trouble, I won't be bothered by Aurelia's love for me, but if Aurelia leaves me, I will definitely be very sad and heartbroken..."

An Shu repeated himself, saying that from any perspective, these were his true thoughts, and because he was drunk, they came out naturally.

Is this too casual?

If An Shu were conscious, she would probably reconsider this issue.

The result was inevitably that things weren't too casual.

The feelings between him and Aurelia.

It was like water flowing into a channel.

I had a deep friendship with her a long time ago, but because we were together every day, I never thought about this kind of thing. Although I had a vague feeling that something was going on, no one mentioned it.

After being separated for quite some time, he learned about Aurelia's efforts during the years he had been gone, and how she had taken the initiative to reveal her feelings...

It felt so natural and smooth...

But they usually couldn't bring themselves to say it because they felt it would be unfair to the other girls, so they always kept a certain distance from her.

"That's good..." Aurelia nodded in satisfaction. Hearing An Shu say those words herself, her heart leaped with joy.

at last……

Perhaps it's not all bad that this fool of a book is drunk.

"Then, sit up straight!"

Aurelia cupped his face in her hands, pressed her forehead against his, and adjusted his posture as well.
