If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Page 268

Yukinoshita's delicate face seemed to hesitate for a moment, then she nodded.

Now, it should be fine.

Yes, you can be a little more frank.

After he starts dating that woman named Utaha Kasumigaoka, he won't be able to do this anymore.

As this thought came to my mind, my heart shuddered, and a sour taste gradually spread throughout my body, making even my breathing bitter.

But in order to prevent the man next to her from noticing anything unusual, she pretended nothing had happened and walked ahead.

"Then let's go."

Ji Qi naturally wouldn't have any objection.

Taking the escalator to the third floor, it can be seen that although Yukinoshita is from Chiba, her understanding of this kind of large shopping mall is still only slightly better than that of him and Yuigahama, who are complete outsiders.

When passing by the daily necessities area and the jewelry store, she was busy looking around with an interested look, and from time to time she would ask Ji Qi's opinion or explain things to him on her own.

She would stop from time to time to carefully study the merchandise on display, but would leave immediately if she noticed a clerk approaching.

Judging from the comfortable smile on her face, she is happy, right?

After leaving a kitchen supplies store, the elegant Snow Girl walked into a nearby women's clothing store.

Although he was not interested in these things, no matter from which angle he considered it, Ji Qi still followed in diligently.

Naturally, when a man walks into this kind of store, he will be subjected to all kinds of looks.

Fortunately, he was with Yukinoshita. Whenever a boy and a girl walked together, everyone would quickly think they were a couple, so he was quickly eliminated from the clerk's vigilance.

It would be more accurate to say that after seeing Ji Qi's handsome face, the young ladies in the store had shining eyes and wished he would look at them more.

Yukinoshita, who was very close to Ji Qi, picked up the clothes she liked and first pulled them up and down and left and right to look at them instead of trying them on directly. Her judgment standard was really strange.

In response to the waiter's enthusiastic recommendation, the goddess who was high and mighty just said a faint "No thanks" and successfully made others back off.

However, it seemed that he had determined that the two people in front of him were both wealthy people, and coupled with Ji Qi's outstanding appearance, the frustrated clerk under Yukinoshita sat down next to Ji Qi with a smile on his face:

"Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful. She looks great in any dress."

"..."

Knowing that no one would believe anything he said in such an occasion, Ji Qi echoed with a gentle smile, while Yukinoshita Yukino paused with her slender hand holding the clothes, with a complicated expression.

Girlfriend?

Too bad it wasn't her.

Or rather, it is only this short period of time.

Moreover, she is going to push this man to someone else.

All of this was caused by her. She didn't even have the right to complain. She could have explained everything clearly, but for some reason she didn't do so.

The girl lowered her head slightly, her long hair concealing her lonely expression and mood like the waves of the ocean. Brought back to reality by these words, Yukinoshita lost her previous relaxed and happy mood and became listless.

Because they still had work to do later, the two did not buy anything.

Walking among the bustling crowd, Yukinoshita looked at the weather through the transparent window above her head and murmured, "It's raining."

Ji Qi nodded with nothing in his hands. "Well, let's buy two umbrellas. We still have to go somewhere else later."

The mystery is finally solved, right?

What exactly is the commission they have been hesitating about?

Ji Qi narrowed his eyes and walked towards the place where umbrellas were sold with Yukinoshita.

In the last stretch of time when the two of them were alone, the cold Yukino subconsciously slowed down her pace.

Even she herself didn't realize it.

Chapter 430 Her confession was not conveyed to anyone

(Sorry for keeping you waiting, I will resume daily updates from today!)

After buying two transparent umbrellas, Yukinoshita looked at the watch on her fair wrist as if to confirm something, and then walked out of the crowded mall.

The weather outside is still gray and black.

A light drizzle started falling overhead.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him gave him a strange feeling today, she still opened her umbrella normally and walked in the hazy rain as if no one was around.

The girl walking in the rain like a fairy in a painting glanced at Ji Qi beside her, and unexpectedly took the initiative to open the topic:

"How are you doing lately? Have you fallen behind in your studies?"

A very ordinary greeting.

Since Ji Qi had been on vacation for a long time since the start of school, the biggest intersection of their lives was gone, and she didn't know what he was doing every day. They only had the opportunity to meet occasionally due to the previous "cooking" agreement.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino very anxious and worried.

In fact, the root cause is lack of security.

This man has always acted so distant that it's hard to guess what kind of feelings he has towards you.

Maybe she didn't understand until the end.

Because I can't speak.

Because there is no chance to speak again.

As a girl with very positive values, Yukinoshita Yukino will not destroy other people's love.

That's fine.

"That's great. Although I don't have much free time every day, I still make sure to study hard. After all, I want to go to college on my own in the future."

Hearing the question, Ji Qi answered with a smile.

Yukinoshita nodded. She was well aware of this man's self-control.

Not everyone can seize every spare moment to work hard to improve themselves. The fact that he jumped from the passing line to the top ten in his grade in such a short period of time already explains a lot.

Seeing him being so harsh on her, even she couldn't push him any further. Instead, she would advise him to take more rest like Shizuka Hiratsuka did.

Think about it carefully, why is Ji Qi working so hard? It's as if there is something invisible chasing him from behind. In her cognition, he is the one who works the hardest.

It was obvious that he was an insignificant person and was just waiting to die before.

He changed after coming into contact with me, could it be for her... ?

Yukinoshita Yukino pondered over it, but in the end she only got this answer.

Then, the girl's heart, which had remained unmoved despite facing countless storms and had been frozen for a long time, began to warm up a little.

She was very satisfied from beginning to end with this handsome man beside her, whose changes she could see every day.

He is handsome, mature, perseverant, responsible, very motivated, and knows how to repay kindness. He is also very gentle. Apart from his chauvinism, you can hardly find any flaws in him - oh yes, and the fact that he is too popular with women is very annoying.

No, it's not just her personal opinion, it's true from any angle.

The fact that he is surrounded by so many outstanding girls is the best proof of this.

Really, I feel a little unwilling.

Leave him to that dark-minded woman.

Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, her expression very gloomy.

Then she realized what the occasion was and paused before continuing:

"I believe you. Which university are you going to attend?"

"I haven't decided yet, but my major should be finance. Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

It’s like we’ll never see each other again.

Ji Qi shook his head and got rid of the illusion in his mind.

Throughout the rest of the journey, for some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be particularly talkative today. She was the one who basically brought up all the topics, as if she had become a different person.

It is not strange at all to see similar scenes happening to Yuigahama, but it is very abrupt and unnatural for Yukino.

This obvious feeling of strangeness made Ji Qi more and more curious.

He was sure that the change in Yukinoshita, the most beautiful girl on campus and the perfect superhero in the eyes of others, was related to today's commission.

However, when asked, Yukino refused to answer.

As paranoid as ever.

They walked like this maintaining a subtle feeling for more than half an hour, and when Yukinoshita's tender cherry lips became a little dry, they finally reached their destination.

As if foreshadowing something, the raindrops falling from the sky,

It's getting denser and denser.

Ji Qi stopped in the rain, squinted his eyes and looked at the environment in front of him.

This is a temple.

You can't tell what it is from the outside, but judging from the area it covers, it should be quite large.

But, should we say it is unexpected or natural? In such bad weather, even the pedestrians on the streets are gradually becoming scarce. There are not many people near this temple that is suspected to be a tourist attraction. It looks deserted.

Could it be that all of this was planned by Yukinoshita?

Ji Qi's mouth twitched, and Xueshita walked in on her own.

After entering the door, the scenery suddenly opens up.

The stream that spans before my eyes is clear and peaceful, with scattered maple leaves floating on the water.

In addition, the red leaves covering the entire mountain range match the quiet and tranquil atmosphere of the temple, giving the impression of stability and elegance.

Perhaps it is the season when the leaves are about to wither. The falling maple leaves combined with the continuous rain bring a feeling of loneliness.

"Does the commission have to be completed here?" Ji Qi, who was very satisfied with the scenery here, admired it secretly, and then asked with interest.

"Yes."

Yukinoshita Yukino was gazing at the scenery in the distance; her navy blue eyes no longer had the sharpness of the past, but were instead vague and confused.

This was indeed the place she, Yuigahama, and Kasumigaoka Utaha had agreed on in advance.

The specific content is that after arriving at the temple, they will first accompany Ji Qi to visit the scenic spots for a while, and finally find a reason to lead him to a bamboo path in the temple. In that beautiful scenery, he will meet Kasumigaoka Utaha who has been prepared in advance.

It was a small stage created just for the two of them.

As for what will happen next, it has nothing to do with them.

The commission has been completed.

Their job is just to provide a stage, nothing more.

This rain was indeed something they had not expected.

According to the weather forecast, it will be sunny today.

But it will make things go more smoothly.

An elegant temple, a quiet path, lit lanterns, hazy drizzle, and a girl confessing her love.

Even she could imagine the destructive power of all this combined on boys.

There's really no one who can refuse it.

And the target is that Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But why does my heart hurt so much?
