I push the kid!

"I got it."

"I like you." Taku Makimura continued.

"No need to repeat it so many times." Hoshino Ai took her hand back without touching him, "Really..."

Makimura Taku felt that it was about time, so he asked her, "Can you tell me about it too?"

"Now?"

"Now."

"I always feel a little embarrassed." Hoshino Ai muttered.

"I said that yesterday, didn't I?"

Hoshino Ai looked at him, then at the people passing by: "Yesterday, yesterday was different from today. It's also different at home and outside."

"Just once, the only request in a lifetime."

"That's too exaggerated."

"Please speak." Makimura Taku said lightly.

Hoshino Ai couldn't look him in the face, so she turned her back.

Makimura Taku waited for a few seconds and heard a faint voice: "I like you."

Makimura Taku pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you say it again? You were too quiet just now."

"..." Hoshino Ai was silent and then did as she was told, "I like you, Makimura."

She looked at Taku Makimura, who took a breath and confirmed for the third time that this statement was a lie, then he exhaled and closed his eyes.

Hoshino Ai's expression became a little worried, and she hurriedly asked Makimura Taku what was wrong, but Makimura Taku found it difficult to speak.

How can I describe this kind of thing? I wish I didn't have the ability to see through lies.

He glanced at the bright sky, but his mood was completely the opposite.

"Come in first, Xiaocang will come too."

"Yuki?" Hoshino Ai asked.

Makimura Taku nodded: "Yes."

"This way," she said.

The two of them walked in through the main door. The short-haired female clerk at the entrance looked up at them, as if she was looking at some important person. She then continued with the work at hand, concentrating on writing something.

Taku Makimura walked straight in, and Ai Hoshino followed him.

She occasionally looked around and occasionally turned her head to look at Taku Makimura.

There were signs asking people to keep quiet hanging on several bookshelves, and there were parents bringing their six or seven-year-old children in to pick out books.

But overall, there were few people in the bookstore and not much noise.

The only sound that could be heard from time to time was the clatter of rubber-soled shoes hitting the floor.

Several high school girls dressed casually looked at the two of them, then covered their faces with books and whispered to their companions.

The first floor was filled with bookshelves, and the two of them went up the stairs to the second floor.

Taku Makimura picked up a French war book at random and flipped through it while standing there.

Hoshino Ai thought for a while, and took out a medium-sized magazine called "How to Raise an Idol Girl" from somewhere and started reading.

The two found an empty seat in the lending area and sat down side by side.

Less than five minutes later, Tomoki Ogura came up from downstairs wearing a light blue hairpin.

No one noticed her. Her eyes first locked on Taku Makimura's back, and then on Hoshino Ai next to him.

An indescribable feeling arises from the bottom of my heart.

She walked around the two of them and sat down in an empty seat.

Hoshino Ai noticed her immediately, waved and greeted her, and she smiled in response.

Taku Makimura's thoughts had already drifted to France, and he hadn't looked up yet.

Tomoki Ogura moved his chair a little forward, then tilted his head, without making any sound, just stared at Taku Makimura silently.

Hoshino Ai nudged him from under the table. Makimura Taku had just returned from France. He looked at Ogura Tomoki and asked, "Are you here?"

"I've been here for twenty minutes." Ogura Tomoki smiled, controlling his emotions and his voice.

"Then I'm late." Makimura Taku said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hoshino Ai chuckled twice from the side: "What are you talking about, Makimura."

"Apologize?" Makimura Taku thought about it.

Ogura Tomoki's face was full of black lines, but the smile did not fade from his face: "You guy."

"Please keep quiet in the library~" the administrator reminded the three of them in the distance.

The three of them shut up, and Hoshino Ai looked back at Makimura Taku.

Taku Makimura thought about waiting until noon to eat and going to the audition together in the afternoon, so he might as well just read a book quietly for a while.

He just propped up his face with his hands when Ogura Yuki, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly closed his book:

"Can I take up a moment of your time, Makimura Taku-kun?"

"Ok?"

"What's the matter?" Hoshino Ai asked.

"Oh, it's because he resigned early last month and hasn't been paid yet. Taking up a little of his time..." She turned to Makimura Taku, "Is that okay?"

Makimura Taku looked at her face which was innocent yet somewhat terrified, and he dropped his hands and slid them onto the table with a click.

The administrator lady looked over here again.

Under the gaze of Hoshino Ai, who looked like a mole that had just crawled out of a hole, the two left the lending area.

I went downstairs and walked out of the library in one breath.

Ogura Yuki stared at him angrily: "Why are you with Xiao Ai?"

"She was the one who called me out first." Makimura Taku said, "Otherwise I would still be at home reading."

"Why didn't you tell me?" She leaned forward.

Makimura Taku raised his hands, palms facing her, and leaned back slightly: "You didn't even give me a chance to speak, did you?"

Ogura Tomoki was stunned. She blinked and recalled that it was indeed the case, but she still felt unhappy.

"Who knows what you'll say? This is all your fault!"

Makimura Taku sighed and asked, "If I say love is here, will you not come?"

Ogura Yuki was speechless.

"There are only three of us auditioning this afternoon. What's wrong with going together?"

Ogura Yuki was silent. She found it difficult to deny this statement.

She turned her head and looked at the bookstore window next to her. Her face was vaguely reflected in it, and she could also directly see the two-meter-high bookshelf inside.

"Although it is indeed what you said..." At this point, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something, turned back suddenly, and stared at Makimura Taku, "What did you just say?"

"What?" Makimura Taku looked puzzled.

Tomoki Ogura gritted his teeth and grabbed his collar. If Taku Makimura was wearing a uniform, he would definitely be grabbed by his bow tie.

"last sentence!"

"Are there three of us auditioning this afternoon?"

"Move forward!"

Makimura Taku didn't know what she was thinking: "I've forgotten it."

"You, what do you call Xiao Ai?"

"Ok?"

"like?!"

"Is that what you called me just now?" Makimura Taku tried to recall.

"Don't deny it, you clearly shouted, you shouted!" said Tomoki Ogura.

Passersby glanced at them, and some even praised Makimura Taku's appearance without any hesitation.

The female companion next to him said: "Although he is a super handsome guy...but according to my judgment, most of them are scumbags!"

The girl replied: "Oh, even if he is a scumbag, if he looks like this, I will be satisfied just by being together for one day~"

"Haha, what? Are you serious? Your remarks are hopeless."

"There's no hope. Oh, when can I find a handsome guy to date? I want it too."

"Don't even think about someone this handsome."

"I want it so badly~"

"Have a good rest, you can have anything in your dreams."

The voice drifted away and Ogura Yuki moved his gaze back.

Seeing that she still looked angry, Makimura Taku felt helpless and said, "I didn't deny it either."

"Why do you call me Ai instead of Youxi?"

"Calling me Hoshino is a bit..."

"What? Weird?" Ogura Tomoki said, she pushed Makimura Taku against the wall, "You, you don't mind calling me Ogura, but why are you so familiar with calling me Ai? Makimura Taku."

Makimura Taku looked at her and wondered where did she come up with the conclusion that she was proficient in it. He had only said it once in his life.

But Tomoki Ogura didn't even give him a chance to explain.

Her hand had long left her collar, and she was facing Makimura Taku in a one-handed wall-dong position.

Despite such active and aggressive behavior, her face turned red as if it was about to bleed, and so did her ears.
