I push the kid!

"But," she raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "Isn't it true that if I cry, I can get your sympathy?"

Except for the ancient clock hanging on the wall that kept ticking, everything else was silent.

"Don't be like this." said Taku Makimura.

"Just be a little cunning, that's all."

"..."

Until the end, they did not go to Hoshino Ai's room, but went downstairs together and sat in the hall.

They stayed on the sofa in silence for more than ten minutes until Ogura Tomoki recovered.

"Why did you follow me down here?"

"Are you asking even though you already know the answer?" Makimura Taku sighed.

"I won't do anything bad," Ogura Youxi smiled through his tears, "Go find Xiao Ai, she's really crying."

"how about you."

"I'm just pretending."

"lie."

"Are you in love with me?"

"My greatest strength is that I am too soft-hearted."

"If I knew this, this would be your weak spot."

"Please don't do this again next time," said Taku Makimura.

Ogura Yuki rolled his eyes and said, "Can't you say something nicer to comfort me?"

"Like what."

"'I like you the most', or something like that." She said, lowering her head slightly.

Makimura Taku exhaled and looked at the bright moonlight outside the half-open door: "Anyway, are you feeling better now?"

"……Yes."

"In that case." He prepared to stand up.

The moment he stood up, Ogura Tomoki suddenly grabbed his hand.

The action was completely subconscious, and even she herself seemed a little surprised.

Makimura Taku looked down at her, while Ogura Tomoki quietly withdrew his hand: "I'm sorry, I just asked you to go find her..." She clenched her hands together, "I didn't mean to do that."

"Go back and rest early."

"No, I'll sit alone for a while."

Makimura Taku sighed with a headache and said, "Is there anything else you want to talk about? Once I really leave, there will be no chance."

"I'll just be alone for a while."

"So." He took a last look.

"Okay, go ahead, just go." Ogura Tomoki urged.

She held her face with both hands, rubbed it gently, and gave Makimura Taku a look of disdain:

"If you don't leave, I will punish you by making you stay and sleep with me on the sofa in this hall. Got it?"

"Would that be too much?"

"Then I'll force you to do something naughty right here," she pointed at the reflective floor. "Right here, I'll force you to do something naughty!"

After listening to this, Makimura Taku didn't have any special reaction, nor did he add a teasing remark.

The warm night brought the quietness to the top, and the chandelier in the hall hung above the head without moving.

He just breathed in barely perceptible breath.

Under Ogura Tomoki's complaining gaze, Makimura Taku stretched out his right hand, gently placed it on her head, and rubbed it back and forth.

"Sorry," he said.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Ogura Tomoki sitting there with a dazed expression, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Disgusting." She lowered her head, savoring this feeling that was different from the past and made her heart beat faster.

Taku Makimura went up to the fourth floor, asked the maid who was tirelessly cleaning the walls how to get to Hoshino Ai's room, and then walked through the empty corridor alone.

He quickly arrived at Hoshino Ai's room and knocked on the closed door.

"excuse me."

No one answered, so he knocked on the door again and waited for more than ten seconds, but there was still no movement from inside.

"Excuse me." He turned the handle and went in.

The room was pitch black. Neither the chandelier nor the desk lamp was turned on. Not even the light from the mobile phone screen was on.

The curtains on the opposite side were also tightly closed, and neither the moonlight nor the starlight could get in at all, as if there was no one inside.

"Aren't you most afraid of the dark?" said Taku Makimura, pressing the switch next to the door.

The light clicked on, the whole room was filled with warm yellow, and the stuffy feeling of summer hit me.

He looked towards the bed and saw Hoshino Ai hugging her knees with her head buried in her body, curled up there obediently like a life-size doll.

She had already taken off the blue and white bathrobe she had put on when she left the bathroom, and put on a loose pink pajamas printed with little white rabbit patterns.

The long purple hair fell straight down like a curtain, with a hairpin pinned on it meticulously.

Makimura Taku shook his head and sat over, feeling somewhat helpless, yet he couldn't bear to see her so depressed.

He spoke softly, his eyes full of tenderness: "Why are you like this?"

Hoshino Ai didn't reply and even kept the sound of her breathing to a minimum.

She is actually not tall, but her perfect upper and lower proportions give her a model-like figure.

But when they are hugged into a ball like this, they look extremely small, like a fragrant dumpling.

When Taku Makimura stretched out his hand, and when his fingertips touched Hoshino Ai's cold arm, her body trembled slightly.

"Too cold?"

"No."

"You can obviously talk properly." Makimura Taku smiled nicely.

Hoshino Ai still buried her head: "That's too much."

"A little bit, but not too much."

"Isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, I apologize."

"No..." Hoshino Ai said, "I was talking about myself. It was too much."

"No way."

She peeked out from her bangs, but her face wasn't completely exposed: "That was a lie, right?"

"Yes."

"really."

"It's ok."

"How can it not matter?" She said to herself angrily.

"If I must say, maybe a little bit." Makimura Taku said, "But, for you, lying is just basic, right?"

"That's not a compliment."

"That's true." Makimura Taku smiled, "But compared to this, as a victim, I should be the one who should be comforted. You act like you don't want to pay attention to me, isn't that a bit too much?"

"No!" Hoshino Ai finally looked up, "No... It's not that I don't want to pay attention to you."

"Your words and actions are inconsistent." Makimura Taku turned his face away as if he was troubled.

Hoshino Ai bit her lip and sniffed twice.

When Taku Makimura heard the voice, he turned around and saw Ai Hoshino staring at him, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Can you please not say such things?" she raised her voice.

"What."

"I really don't want to ignore you."

"This."

"Really not..." She seemed to be at her wit's end.

Makimura Taku smiled and wiped away a tear from that cute face with his hand:

"Anyway, don't cry yet, okay?"

"Then you can't say that, okay?"

"can."

She nodded.

The two of them remained in their original positions, silent for about a minute in the spacious room.

"How do you feel now?"

"better."

"That's good."

"Can you accompany me?" As she said this, Hoshino Ai pulled the corner of his clothes.
