You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

"Lena, wake up, we've arrived."

however.

The voice next to her destroyed Chihaya Aine's idea of escaping reality.

Even if she could prolong her death by pretending to be asleep, she would still have to get off the bus eventually. Sooner or later, she would have to face the fact that she was half asleep and dozed off like a sloth holding someone else's arm.

But now that he was about to get off the bus, she didn't even have the chance to pretend to be asleep. It was impossible that he would dump her and she would pretend to be still asleep and fall on the seat, right?

That would be too obvious, anyone could tell I was pretending to sleep!

And what’s even more embarrassing is that I, I also got off at this stop...!

I am the student union president. It is understandable for others to be late, but I cannot be late. I cannot wait until the next stop to get off!

Chihaya Aine's eyes were completely turned into a ball of confusion.

There had never been a moment in her life when she longed so much for a blue robotic cat that could pull a time machine out of its fourth-dimensional pocket.

After quickly weighing the options of pretending to be asleep or getting up and facing the situation, which would cause her the least social demise, she took a deep breath, thinking of first seeing what the other person looked like, and then temporarily formulating a strategy based on her first impression.

God bless you, God bless you.

Don't be a strict and scary person!

Thinking of this, she raised her head with all her might, courage spreading from her heart and finally converging on her sight.

But his gaze was glued to the unexpected scene, and surprise and disbelief appeared on his face at the same time.

It was a very handsome face. The orange morning light shone through the window, illuminating the swaying leaves. The loose sweatshirt on his body extended along the light white wide sleeves, and finally reflected half of his profile.

His amber eyes concealed the still and clear waters of a deep river, and his tall and straight nose bridge set the tone of his combination of strength and softness, and the bright crescent moon.

When he purses his lips, he looks like a scholar wandering in a turbulent era, feeling desolate because his passion has no place to be expressed.

When he turned his head, he was like a warrior in white clad trying his best to cut through the air under the rain curtain, trying his best to leave a knife mark on the strong enemy, but in the end, he was taken away by the opponent with a faster knife skill. He could only whisper the name of his lover in infinite regret and old age.

Chihaya Aine forgot for a moment that she raised her head to apologize.

My eyes unconsciously glued to the other person, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, there really are boys who are so good-looking...

Wait.

That is to say...

Did I just sleep with such a handsome guy in my arms?

This this……

I see!

It must be that I have studied hard these days and moved the gods, so they have given me such blessings.

Thank you, God!

In just a short moment, Chihaya Aine had already planned in her mind how she would brag to her friends about what she had encountered in the morning when she returned to school.

Just thinking about how her friends would react, she couldn't help but smile.

Fortunately, before she laughed foolishly, she realized what was happening to her. She quickly covered her face with her hands and adjusted her expression before trying to speak.

"Um, I'm so sorry—"

She tried to attract the other person's attention with a sentence first, and then apologized to the other person in a low voice.

But when she saw that there was a very cute girl sitting next to the handsome guy, who seemed to be about the same age as her, and that this girl was blatantly hugging the handsome guy's other arm, and even looking at her like the handsome guy.

Chihaya Aine's brain froze.

Female……

girlfriend……

Absolutely right, this intimate sense of distance, and these almost synchronized movements and expressions...

It's definitely a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!

Then I wasn’t, wasn’t I dozing off with my arms around someone else’s boyfriend!?!

Chihaya Aine felt dizzy for a moment, and her expression was almost embarrassed to the extreme.

What she hated most when reading romance novels was that the hero and heroine were so sweet and loving, but there was always a blind green tea girl who interfered and coveted the perfect love between them.

But what did you just do?

She slept with someone else's boyfriend in her arms, and even thought about how she would brag about him when she went to school later...

Take a closer look.

There seemed to be traces of saliva on her boyfriend's shoulders from when she was asleep...

It’s over.

This is no longer something that can be solved by just kneeling down.

If I had such a handsome boyfriend, I would never want anyone to touch me.

Ahhh, what should I do now?

Facing the gazes of the two people in front of her, Chihaya Aine felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Every minute and every second was uncomfortable and she wanted to escape from here quickly.

But this train just didn't have eyes, and it would take another minute or two to arrive at the station. She wanted to run but there was nowhere to run, so she could only smile awkwardly, then touch her hair and look away awkwardly.

She wanted to say sorry in her heart, but the double pressure of being in such a closed public place like the inside of the carriage and realizing that the other party had a girlfriend made her, who was always good-looking, unable to open her mouth to continue speaking.

He could only hold on to his schoolbag tightly, like a scallop that closed tightly due to stimulation, and huddled himself in a corner.

She has always been sensitive to sight.

Because she always wants to see the love for her from other people's eyes.

But at this time, she just wanted to hide herself in the most remote corner. She just wanted people to see her bright and beautiful side, instead of the embarrassment of not being able to speak like now.

Just as she was praying that time would pass quickly so that she could run out of the carriage immediately.

She heard someone next to her say.

"It's okay. It's common to overwork yourself while studying. I guess you accidentally fell asleep in the car because you've been working too hard lately."

Eh……

Chihaya Aine blinked, and the strength in her tightly clenched fingertips suddenly disappeared.

Contrary to her expectations, the person next to her didn't give her a cold rebuke or say anything harsh. Instead, they simply accepted her words calmly and even thoughtfully helped her find a reason...

Don’t you feel angry?

Suddenly, a stranger got so close to me, and even slept with me in his arms...

Is it because I'm prettier that you don't get angry with me?

Chihaya Aine thought silently in her heart.

She is indeed confident about her appearance. Whether it is her hair or her face, she takes good care of it every day, so she thinks it is natural to be liked by others.

However, when facing someone who is of the same level as herself or even more good-looking, she is not so sure.

She felt that the other party was speaking for her only out of politeness and good manners, and was reluctant to give her a way out because he didn't want to embarrass her.

"It's like this. I haven't slept well these past few days, so I just accidentally dozed off. I'm really sorry if this has caused any trouble to you two..."

Said so quietly.

Chihaya Aine began to secretly observe the reactions of the two.

She found that the beautiful girl didn't seem to care about what she was saying at all. She just glanced at her indifferently, yawned, and put her face directly on the man's shoulder.

The man shook his head at her, meaning that there was no need to apologize, and then brought up a new topic.

"Are you planning to take the IELTS?"

You're not being polite to me!

This person was really trying to save me from embarrassment!

Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up. Because she often moved around in the interpersonal circle, she had a high emotional intelligence and a strong understanding of the expressiveness of words and the range of facial expressions.

After hearing the other party speak to her one after another in such a gentle tone, Chihaya Aine received the signal keenly.

She realized that the kind-hearted person in front of her was offering her a way out, so she hurried down the stairs.

"Yeah, I'm going to take the IELTS tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I can pass it."

"Look, don't so many people fail? They all took multiple attempts to pass the test. My English isn't that great, so I took it this time to see how difficult it is. By the second and third attempts, I'll have more experience... It's like that."

Chihaya Aine scratched her cheek lightly.

Although she planned to pass it in one try, when she talked to others she would always modestly say that she was just giving it a try.

In fact, deep down she really wanted to proudly say that she had the confidence to pass it in one try.

But she didn't want to be labeled as arrogant by others. The standard of what to say out loud and what to keep in the heart, which defined the boundary between the two parties, had been engraved in her heart a long time ago.

And she has always abided by these unwritten rules.

She is very good at dealing with people and tries to get the praise she wants from the complicated hearts of people.

"If you study hard all the time, you don't have to worry about failing the exam, especially if you study so hard for so many days, even taking time off to sleep."

However, what Chihaya Aine didn't expect was.

The people around her seemed to see what she was really thinking.

She turned her head in surprise.

It just happened to meet the other person's gaze, which was as clear and bright as a mirror.

Faintly, I seemed to be able to see my reflection in those eyes.

"I think you can definitely pass the exam. So try to relax on the last day. Don't rack your brains to memorize all those knowledge points you're already tired of. If you have a fever the day before the exam, it will be a waste of time."

The voice just fell.

The train also happened to arrive at the station.

The car door made a steam-like sound and opened with a plop.

The man pinched the cheek of the girl sitting next to him, then helped her stand up from her seat, helped her pick up her schoolbag and lunch box, and walked towards the car door together.

Chihaya Aine stared at the man's figure in a daze.

She is a girl who loves to show off, so she always does things that can attract attention.

But this will also lead to more and more people having higher expectations of her, and in order to get more praise, she will force herself to grit her teeth and move forward.

In fact, no one asked her to do so well.

Chihaya Aine also knew that she was actually just satisfying her own selfish desires. Everyone got what they needed, and no one was wrong.

So, she's used to expectations that make her feel even more stressed.

But such words of certainty that she could do something that even she herself was unsure of whether she could do were like words that could see into the future.

Except for parents.

It was the first time she heard it.

"Are you getting off at this stop too?"

The man noticed her gaze, so he turned his head slightly and smiled at her, "It would be best if you leave as soon as possible."

The thin morning light passed through the crowded crowd, obediently outlining gentle and hazy lines on the other person's well-proportioned facial features.

Short silver-blue hair.

Eyes that sparkle like the finest gold and jade.

And this sentence, for some reason, sounded so familiar, as if I would hear it somewhere in the future.

Three different but crucial elements knock on the door of the long river of time.

Chihaya Aine let out a soft "ah".

She saw a memory that she had never seen before.

The content of the memory is very simple, and I can even clearly see every detail of that time.

She sat on the man's lap.
