I push the kid!

"Then say nothing?"

"Don't say anything..." Hoshino Ai said thoughtfully, "You want to stay silent like this until dark, Makimura."

"It's not impossible."

"I just have a 'tummy ache'."

"It seems like I should have told a bigger lie at the beginning."

"Aren't you very honest? What's the point of that?"

"Anyway, I'm not the one lying."

"That's right." Hoshino Ai said with her face supported.

"Besides," Makimura Taku looked at the blue sky, "I don't hate lies. It's enough that I'm the only one who is honest."

Hoshino Ai smiled and said, "You're saying that again."

"what happened?"

She turned around, her long hair dancing, her hands crossed behind her back, and she stepped forward obediently: "Lies!"

"Really." Makimura Taku turned around and leaned against the railing.

Hoshino Ai stopped and looked up at the high ceiling. Her tone became very calm, but her words were filled with complex and turbulent personal emotions: "I just think it's a lie."

Makimura Taku said: "That's a lie."

Hoshino Ai turned to him again and smiled triumphantly.

The golden sunlight spread between the two of them like tinfoil, and Makimura Taku's shadow extended long to a position one meter away from Hoshino Ai.

"But." said Makimura Taku.

Hoshino Ai let out a light exclamation and stared at him intently.

"If B Komachi only goes this far, then what will happen next..."

"I don't know the details." Hoshino Ai interrupted him in a lowered voice.

"I see." Makimura Taku said thoughtfully, "What about President Saito? He should have made other preparations at the beginning, right?"

"As for the president..." Hoshino Ai was not confident, "I haven't heard him say that."

"so."

"Yeah." She responded quickly.

"You don't have to think too much." Makimura Taku told her, "The results haven't come out yet, so there's still a chance."

"I hope so too..." Hoshino Ai murmured.

Makimura Taku shook his head with a smile on his face.

He couldn't remember how many times he had said this: "You are Hoshino Ai."

The girl who kept saying that she was great, that she wanted everything, and that she was the greediest girl in the world.

Until now, he has exposed his fragile and wavering side again and again.

Even her confidence was a lie.

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai just stared at him blankly.

It seemed that only those eyes belonged to her, and the rest of her body was completely unable to move.

"No matter what the ending is, if it's you, you should be able to accept it calmly."

Hoshino Ai's pupils suddenly contracted.

At that time, it would have been great if I had seen you, Makimura.

The warm sunlight that came into the building brushed across Hoshino Ai's eyes.

She took a deep breath, her chest covered by white cloth rose and fell, and her bright eyes reflected dazzling light.

"Yes, I can accept that." She smiled.

Because those eyes are looking at me, Hoshino Ai thought.

From now on, please look at me carefully.

Chapter 61 I want to try harder

Chapter 61: I want to try harder

Before one o'clock, they returned along the same route, still without taking the elevator.

The two of them walked very slowly and deliberately. The stairs were actually long enough that it would take a long time to climb them slowly.

But they still walked slowly, as if they were strolling in a garden.

None of them spoke, and they had said everything that needed to be said in the sun.

The clouds in the sky, the warm sunshine on earth, and the spring breeze that cannot be blown.

They have seen it, they have talked about it, now they just need to walk quietly for a while, and that is enough.

The surrounding walls were all painted white, the escalator was made of wood, and there was a turtle on the corner platform of the handrail, with a rabbit in the middle.

The floor was so clean that it looked like someone came to clean it every ten minutes, and the only loud sound was footsteps.

Even though the heels of the hard-soled black boots were not high enough, they would definitely be uncomfortable to walk in, but the girl still ran here.

She doesn't take care of herself at all. When she's impulsive, she's really impulsive, as if no one can stop her.

The voice-activated switches in the corridor kept lighting up and spinning downward, like a princess appearing at a ball.

One of the lights was not working properly, and Makimura Taku clapped his hands, trying to turn it on, but failed.

Hoshino Ai stopped and jumped down from the second step. With a crisp sound, the light came on immediately.

The red skirt, like butterfly wings, fluttered gently in the light.

The girl turned around gracefully and smiled at Makimura Taku like a child who had eaten a good lunch and wanted to be praised by the teacher, and Makimura Taku also smiled.

They returned to the original floor, with Hoshino Ai taking two steps ahead and walking in front.

Normally, Taku Makimura is not allowed to go to the lounge specially prepared for the players.

However, Hoshino Ai just used a little trick and asked the staff for a favor, and the man blushed and agreed for some unknown reason.

There is only one problem: it is impossible to prepare an extra lunch at the last minute.

Makimura Taku thought about it and decided it was okay. Hoshino Ai looked at him, grinning and tilting her head.

She said, if you are really hungry, just eat my portion.

Makimura Taku opened his eyes, as if trying to find something from the girl's smile.

He suddenly felt that the other person was so cute.

Although she had always been cute, sometimes when such a thoughtful remark came out, he couldn't help but think:

I wish it could always go on like this, smiling and not feeling so depressed.

In the lounge, Taku Makimura followed Hoshino Ai into the lounge. President Saito was also inside. He just came out and received a phone call.

The other three girls looked towards the door at the same time, Mai Watanabe called his name, and Taku Makimura waved his hand.

Ninomiya Ritsuko asked herself, "Is Makimura-kun here too?" Makimura Taku said yes.

Sanae Takamine seemed to have known this for a long time. She stood up from the sofa and turned off the TV with the remote control. The surroundings became quiet.

There were two half-eaten bento boxes on the table, and one finished one, which belonged to the president.

Mai Watanabe took out two unopened lunch boxes from the side, handed one to Hoshino Ai, and the other was for herself.

She looked at Taku Makimura, then at the lunch box in her hand, and finally looked back at Taku Makimura and walked to his side.

She turned her head away reluctantly, spread out her hands holding the lunch box, and said with great struggle, "I'll give this to you!" It seemed as if she was about to cry.

Hoshino Ai on the side just looked at the two of them quietly, while Takamine Sanae glanced over here.

Makimura Taku smiled and refused. Watanabe Mai did not feel sad, but looked grateful instead.

Hoshino Ai didn't say anything. She squatted beside the table and opened the bento, revealing the rice, vegetables, chicken nuggets, tamagoyaki and octopus balls inside.

She only ate one cauliflower and then said her stomach hurt and she couldn't eat any more.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable now, Xiao Ai?" Watanabe Mai turned to her.

"It's still a little bit, it won't be ready that quickly." Hoshino Ai looked at the bento, "It's just these, if you can't finish it, it will be wasted."

Mai Watanabe looked around and said, "Isn't Makimura-kun here? Just leave it to him!"

Makimura Taku glanced at Hoshino Ai and knew she was lying.

Even Sanae Takamine and Ritsuko Ninomiya knew that this was an excuse. There was no stomachache at all.

Only Mai Watanabe was stupid enough to believe it. She was so gullible.

Makimura Taku smiled helplessly, and Hoshino Ai, who was squatting on the ground, looked at him and also smiled.

Smiles always spread between them like a virus, Taku Makimura thought so, and Hoshino Ai also felt so.

This is for the best, she thought. She finished her lunch.

When the president came back, everyone had cleaned up the garbage, and the staff passing by carried the garbage out.

Although the room is not big, it can accommodate six people without any problem.

The four girls sat down on the longest sofa. They were petite and could even leave room for one person.

Ichigo Saito and Taku Makimura sat on the single seats on both sides.

Taku Makimura actually wanted to leave, but the president kept him.

Hoshino Ai also hopes that he will stay here, and it will not be too late until today's results come out. Makimura Taku thought about it for a while and agreed.

The president pushed up his sunglasses and tried to light a cigarette, but stopped halfway.

He coughed dryly and looked out the window.

The sky was as blue as the deep sea, birds flew across the horizon, tall buildings stood in the golden sunlight, leaves glittered, and the Ferris wheel turned slowly.
