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

Chapter 431: White clouds clear up, birds chase each other

Unexpectedly, the rain got heavier.

As if to bury all the pain and sorrow in my heart, the water drops falling from my head have never stopped since before.

The only sound in my ears was the natural sound of raindrops falling on the ground.

A clear stream, a large area of ​​wet red-leaf trees, a bridge that blends seamlessly with the temple, and young men and women holding umbrellas.

It should have been a very beautiful scene.

But why did it turn out like this?

No, it is indeed very beautiful. But the heroine's mood is not so beautiful.

But now, Ji Qi just stood there, looking at this rare beauty leisurely, muttering in his heart that he should have brought a camera earlier.

But it's a bit embarrassing to say that most of the photos in the camera he bought were taken with Kato Megumi during the summer vacation. It always feels like a special commemoration. When he takes it out when he goes out with other girls, he feels a little weird.

I'll buy two more cameras when I get back. I'm not short of money anyway, eh.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Ji Qi, then slowly stepped onto the wooden bridge in front.

Probably because of the weather, even though the scenery was great, there were not many people in this vast temple. The few people who were there were hurriedly holding umbrellas and flashing around the corner, giving people the illusion that the whole place was reserved.

After walking across the bridge and entering the main hall of the courtyard, the two temporarily put away their umbrellas and walked around curiously.

Even though it was Yukinoshita who brought him here, it looked like the girl had only looked up a lot of information before coming, and it was her first time as well.

When they arrived at the place where they were drawing lots, a clever waiter came over and said to them with a smile:

"You two, do you need a fortune telling for marriage? It's very effective."

Hearing this, Ji Qi raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he never believed in this stuff. He believed that man can conquer nature. This was especially true after the existence of the file-loading and saving function.

As long as he wants and is willing to work hard, most things in the world can be achieved.

Feelings are no exception.

Then there is naturally no reason to ask for a signature.

Yukinoshita Yukino next to him should have the same idea as him -

"It's a rare opportunity, do you want to give it a try?"

Under Ji Qi's slightly surprised gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino said lightly.

Ok?

real or fake?

How should I put it? Since there is a system judgment, he has some understanding of Yukinoshita's feelings for him. After all, it is impossible to pretend to be stupid and insensitive in this situation. But it is still a little unexpected.

That usually rational Iron Snow Girl would actually ask for such a thing?

Feeling Ji Qi's inquiring gaze, Yukinoshita turned her head away, seeming to be shy.

In response, he shrugged his shoulders. Ji Qi, who would never refuse such small requests from girls, said to the smiling waiter beside him:

"Then please give us one."

Then, under the guidance of the waiter, Yukinoshita paid the money, took the fortune stick tube in the temple, and started to draw lots with no change in expression.

Although she herself hasn't changed much, one can incredibly feel the seriousness behind her.

result……

"This should be considered a very good fortune, right?" Yukinoshita held the fortune slip in her hand, and a happy arc appeared between her originally cold and gloomy brows. She said to Ji Qi beside her in a slightly cheerful voice.

It looks like she got a good lottery draw, and she's no different from the girlfriend that her boyfriend shows off to.

"White clouds are just beginning to clear up, and birds are chasing each other. This is indeed a rare good fortune for their situation. This temple seems to have something special." Looking at the fortune paper in his hand, Ji Qi thought silently in his heart.

Turning around, he saw the handsome waiter giving him a kind smile.

After nodding, they left.

Even though fortune-telling and divination have little reference value, you will always feel better if you get a good result.

At least judging from Yukinoshita's expression, she was quite happy.

After taking a quick stroll around the temple with black tiles and red walls in the heavy rain, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly opened her umbrella, turned around, changed direction, and continued walking forward.

This is a passage that looks like a tunnel.

The surrounding scenery gradually changed.

The red maple trees that were everywhere disappeared, and were replaced by lush green bamboos.

The water drops hit the bamboo leaves, making a natural rhythm of rustling sounds.

There seemed to be countless bamboos, thin and shoulder to shoulder, and the bamboo tunnel would continue to who knows where.

Gazing at the seemingly endless bamboo forest, and listening to the water drops falling from the gaps between the bamboo leaves, Ji Qi sighed:

"It's so beautiful. It can be used as a scene in a movie or animation, right? Well, it's the most suitable place for the hero and heroine to confess their love."

"..."

Yukinoshita's body stiffened.

Could it be that he noticed something?

You have to know that this kind of special commission work usually has to be kept secret from the other person. Otherwise, if both parties know about it, how can you bring people together? How can you create the desired atmosphere?

Judging from Ji Qi's performance so far, if he knew about this commission, it would definitely end in vain. From another perspective, it was also her failure.

This is something that a girl who pursues what is right cannot tolerate. No matter what.

Because doing so would be equivalent to denying the life she had been obsessed with before.

Sixteen years. She had lived with this awareness for most of the past sixteen years.

She thought she had never made any mistakes, but when faced with this choice, she was very confused.

So, fearing some kind of change, she subconsciously chose to do what she would have done before.

Even though she was pushed to that point, she still refused to back down, and expressed her determination stubbornly and forcefully.

But in the end, the relationship between the two of them was not that strong. If they were truly in love, there wouldn't be any such trouble.

But there was nothing he could do. If he thought about it carefully, they had known each other for less than a year, and there hadn't been any unforgettable events in the middle. It could even be said that Ji Qi's strategy was a trick. It would be strange to say that they had too passionate feelings.

After dozens of seconds, Yukinoshita adjusted her mood, and looked at the raindrops in front of her that seemed to never stop, with a gaze that seemed to be filled with all kinds of things. When she realized that the truth had not been exposed, she was both relieved and disappointed and sighed.

If Ji Qi really guessed everything and stopped this commission, then there would be no reason for her to be involved, right?

For a moment, she still believed that the prophecy of 'white clouds begin to clear and birds chase each other' had come true.

But it's a pity.

At this moment, a tall figure vaguely emerged from the lush bamboo forest ahead where rain was pouring down.

Yukinoshita's breathing hitched.

In fact, this is not a good fortune, but a bad fortune.

Chapter 432 I like you, please date me!

In the bamboo forest, the evening breeze mixed with water droplets blew past, causing goose bumps on the exposed skin.

In the bluish-white shadow ahead, a figure with long hair hanging down can be vaguely seen.

The leaves rustled. Because it was in the quiet corridor, the sound of the leaves gradually spread out like water drops falling from the sky, and hit people's hearts one by one.

Looking at the girl in front of her who seemed to not belong to this modern society but was like a fairy hidden in the forest, Yukinoshita Yukino knew that it was time for her to leave.

She had no reason to stay any longer.

After all, this is a stage carefully prepared for Kasumigaoka Utaha, not hers.

But, inexplicably, a thought emerged in Yukinoshita's mind.

If there were only the two of them in the current scene, and she confessed everything, what would be the result?

do not know.

She couldn't take another step forward. If she did, she would break the agreement she had with others and with herself.

As she thought this, Yukinoshita lowered her head, her long hair covering her expression, casting a strange shadow on her face. If you lifted her long black hair, you would find that she looked like she had a severe cold, her face was pale, her lips were slightly pursed, and even her eyes reflected a cold light without emotion.

It gives people a very lonely feeling.

The awe-inspiring atmosphere of the past is completely gone.

She remained in this state and took a step back silently.

Just like the role she was playing, and as if she couldn't bear to break the atmosphere that was created with great difficulty, Yukinoshita remained silent, intending to turn back and leave this scene completely to the two of them.

If viewed from a slightly higher angle, this scene would seem like something from a movie.

Because no matter how you look at it, it's a scene that deviates from reality.

Under the gloomy sky, in the torrential rain that was bearing down on the city, in the slightly chilly bluish-white bamboo tunnel, a man and two women had unknowingly formed a standard triangle - a love triangle - and Yukinoshita, who was standing at the back, seemed to want to withdraw from this relationship and silently turned and left.

However, she had only taken a few steps when her footsteps made a "crackling" sound and hit a bamboo that had fallen to the ground at some point.

The sound of rain seemed to stop for a moment.

This crisp sound reached Ji Qi's ears accurately.

"Hmm? Yukino, where are you going?"

Ji Qizhuang, whose eyes had been fixed on the figure in front of him, turned around, raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

He felt that something was wrong with Yukinoshita Yukino from a while ago. Is it finally time to solve the mystery?

"I have something urgent to do and need to leave for a while."

Yukinoshita turned her head away and said vaguely that the fact of the commission could not be revealed for the moment.

Maybe it was a gust of autumn rain that happened to blow, and her slender body shivered, looking even weaker and thinner. At this moment, she was no longer the high-ranking flower of Gaoling, nor was she the cold and elegant second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, but an adolescent girl who didn't even know what to do when facing her own love.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are not good at lying?" Ji Qi said speechlessly with one hand on his forehead. Anyone can tell that you are lying!

"That's it anyway. I'm leaving now."

Neither admitting nor denying, Yukinoshita spoke coldly, but there was a hint of weakness hidden in her tone. Now she was as fragile and slender as glass.

"Wait, you're not going to do your commission anymore? The client must be right in front, right?"

Ji Qi narrowed his eyes and called her. Even a fool could see what was going on, let alone him.

The figure in the bamboo forest was a bit far away, so he couldn't see clearly who it was, but the familiar tall figure was definitely someone he knew.

Combined with the situation in the past few days, he quickly thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But apart from the fact that the matter was definitely related to him, he couldn't guess anything more specific.

As if she had discovered a possible turnaround, Yukinoshita's eyelashes trembled a little, "My work is done."

"Oh, all right then." Ji Qi paused for a moment, then seeing Yukino's body curled up instantly, he continued with a smile: "Your commission is completed, so it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. But next, I'm asking you in my personal name, please stay here and don't leave."

I'll go and ask what's going on first.

Leaving these words and the stunned Yukinoshita Yukino, Himechi opened the umbrella and walked forward slowly.

Yukinoshita looked at his back blankly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

At the end of the bamboo forest path, Ji Qi lowered his head slightly and saw a pair of calves and shoes in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched. He knew it would develop like this!

On her slender thighs are her signature black tights and a pair of white women's leather shoes. After being wet by the heavy rain, the slender curves of her calves are fully highlighted.

The girl stood leisurely in front of him.

Putting aside other things for the moment, when a woman with perfect and elegant calves stands in front of you in a temple bamboo forest during heavy rain, holding an umbrella, any man would probably be moved.

Of course he is no exception.

However, Ji Qi, who felt somewhat guilty about this woman, asked tentatively:

"Shiyu?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression was half-smile, and her words were as ruthless as ever, "What do you think? I'm really sorry to have let your beautiful encounter go to waste."
