I push the kid!

Hoshino Ai put the hairpin back on her head, looked back, then retreated to Makimura Taku's side and sat down on the chair next to him.

"There weren't so many stars the last time I saw them." She looked into the distance.

"Last time?" asked Makimura Taku.

"I told you that specifically," she turned away, "so you wouldn't have forgotten it."

Makimura Taku remembered it, it happened just two days ago.

That night, Hoshino Ai sent him a message, telling him that there were many stars, but he said it was too late and he didn't go to see them, so he asked her to go to bed early.

"Is that so?" Taku Makimura sat up, looked at the place where the sea and the sky met, and answered while listening to the sound of the waves.

"It's definitely not a lie."

"That's not a lie."

Hoshino Ai was silent and looked at the profile of Makimura Taku.

Most of her long hair on both sides was stuck to her face, and a few strands were in her mouth, but she seemed unaware of it.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Makimura Taku rolled his eyes and looked at her.

Hoshino Ai remained silent for two seconds before moving her gaze back to the front.

"Last time," she said, "Last time, Mucun, when we went hiking, that night you told me about the positions of the constellations, such as Lyra and Virgo. It's been so long, I almost forgot everything."

"It was a long time ago." said Taku Makimura.

"Ah."

"If you've forgotten everything, it doesn't matter if I tell you again."

Hoshino Ai didn't even blink, just stared at the starry sky.

"But I can't see it today."

"You'll see it one day."

"It's different. Now we're sitting together." She paused and said, "If I watch it alone, it won't make any sense."

This time, it was Taku Makimura's turn to be silent. He looked at Hoshino Ai in the quiet night.

The flickering starlight combined with the faint moonlight perfectly outlines the girl's curvy figure.

Long hair falling straight down, a soft face shape, cute breasts wrapped in a swimsuit, a straight waist, and graceful long legs.

No matter which one, it is unique and beautiful, making people's heart move.

"At least," Makimura Taku said with a smile, "you still remember the positions of these constellations, that's good."

"I really forgot."

"lie."

"Really." Hoshino Ai argued.

Makimura Taku didn't reply. He stretched himself, stood up from the chair, turned around and relaxed.

"correct."

"Ok?"

Hoshino Ai looked at her thighs and hesitated.

Makimura Taku turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"I have a question for you, Makimura." She looked up.

Makimura Taku was stunned and said, "Just ask directly."

"If you don't want to answer," Hoshino Ai said in a lower and lower voice, "it doesn't matter."

"Ah."

"If you do answer, be honest with me."

"You always lie, yet you still make such a request?" Makimura Taku pretended to be troubled.

But Hoshino Ai just asked: "Is it okay?"

"OK."

The waves crashing onto the shore make a peaceful rustling sound.

A gust of evening breeze blew the rolling petals from far away.

"You to Yuki."

"..." Makimura Taku looked at her.

"It's okay if you don't answer," Hoshino Ai emphasized again, and then spoke again as if the volume was turned down, "You like Youxi..." Her eyes dodged, "Do you like him?"

"No." Makimura Taku said immediately.

Hoshino Ai opened her mouth, but all the questions she wanted to ask were kept in her stomach.

She listened quietly to her own rapid breathing and the sound of her heartbeat.

"Hmm." She waved her hand and said, "Haha, I just asked casually. It's so weird. This must be the answer."

Even as she said this, she still looked a little uneasy.

Makimura Taku closed his lips and breathed out through his nose.

Hoshino Ai gradually put away her unnatural smile and looked at him without saying a word.

Makimura Taku rubbed his brows, walked towards her, walked to her side, then sat down on the sand, bent his legs and looked up at the starry sky.

"The person I like is you."

"Ok?"

"It was never a lie."

Hoshino Ai didn't know what to say. She felt that she suddenly said something very strange.

But Makimura Taku didn't say anything else.

The two of them were silent for a long time. In fact, only a few minutes had passed, but to Hoshino Ai, it seemed like the entire evening.

Her toes trembled twice, then she stood up from the chair, sat on the left of Makimura Taku, and sat on the ground with him.

"Should I not ask?"

"There's nothing you shouldn't ask."

"You clearly said you liked me," Hoshino Ai took a breath, her mood returned to its previous calmness, and continued, "Since you said it, it must not be a lie."

"How did you get the second half of the sentence?"

"If I were to describe you, I could say that, right?" Hoshino Ai smiled.

Makimura Taku denied it, "Although it sounds good, I can't guarantee that I will always be honest. After all, there is no one who will not lie."

"I can definitely tell when you're lying."

"Can you spot lies, too?"

"No..." Hoshino Ai said, "If you were going to lie, you would definitely let me know in advance."

"Then I'm really stupid."

"But this is you," she said with a smile on her face, "Macun."

"Really?" Makimura Taku remained noncommittal.

"Yes!"

After that, the two fell silent again.

Hoshino Ai drew two not-so-circular circles on the ground with her index finger, while Makimura Taku silently gazed at the restless sea.
