"Huh?" Kato Riku turned his head to look at her.

“I never felt wronged, and you never did anything wrong.”

Kato Tsuki smiled and took her man's hand.

"You did a great job, you couldn't have done better."

......

"It's early, no smoking allowed."

After thinking it over, Nomiyama decided to betray his father-in-law.

Then his thoughts paused. No, this is only the beginning. Is it too much to be thinking about betraying his father-in-law?

"I thought the older man seemed to smoke, so I went to the convenience store..."

Kato Megumi glanced at him, exasperated: "You just do whatever your father tells you to do, are you stupid?"

Nomiyama blinked, not surprised by Megumi's keenness. He simply reached out and took her hand, gently kneading it: "There's no other way. I have to listen to my father-in-law. If he doesn't want to, my girlfriend will run away."

“I have legs now too, Kazehaya,” Kato Megumi pinched him back.

"I hope Nae doesn't run away..."

"Observe the early signs of the wind."

"I will definitely do my best!"

"I barely believe it."

"It's fine to drop you off here, otherwise it's too far, and I'll have to take you back."

"Let's walk a little further. Mom and Dad are definitely watching us from the door. It's okay if we go a little further, just to the street corner." Kato Megumi's lips curled slightly.

A brief silence fell between them, as they walked side by side under the streetlights, each casting their own shadow.

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, looked at the boy beside her who seemed lost in thought, and asked softly.

"Kazehaya, what are you thinking about?"

Nomiyama snapped out of his daze, looked at the girl beside him, stopped, and raised his joined hands.

He asked.

"Hui, does that mean I have a family now?"

Kato Megumi looked at him quietly, then hugged him.

"Of course, unless Kazehaya doesn't want to marry me."

Nomiyama lowered his head, his gaze lost in her hair.

He breathed heavily, his voice soft.

"How many should we have?"

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

Early summer 219, confession, Yinglili

summer.

A season that is always treated with special care.

People will praise the chattering sparrows outside the window, get used to the annoying cicadas in the trees, post pictures of the watermelons they eat on social media, and share the TV series they finished watching in their air-conditioned rooms.

Some couples in love will invite their loved one to the library or aquarium, or take a walk under the orange or red sunset, or even kiss on a Ferris wheel.

Some people take photos to record the streams in the countryside, the red or white wildflowers by the fields, the cheap popsicles at the convenience store, and the city turned upside down in the puddles of a downpour.

Every story that happens in summer is easily remembered because summer is beautiful, and in such a beautiful season, both the good and the bad are so clear.

Nomiyama loves winter the most, but he also has a certain fondness for summer, because he and Yukinoshita began their inseparable second step in the summer.

The first step was Eriri extending her hand to the two of them.

Eriri...

Nomiyama looked up at the other end of the long table, where the little blond man was sprawled on the table with his hands slumped over, trying to absorb as much of the table's coolness as possible. His little mouth was open and his face was slightly red.

Well, Eriri isn't really suited to summer. As soon as the temperature rises slightly, she starts panting like a heat-sensitive, hairy creature.

Nomiyama reached out and touched his unopened can of cola.

There's still some ice.

He called out, "Eri-ri."

......

"what?"

Eriri Sawamura, who had been lying on her side with her head tilted to the side, was peeking at him with her eyes half-closed. When she heard his name, her eyes widened, and she reached out to grab the iced cola that had been swept across the long table.

"what!"

She didn't catch it; the cola hit her head directly.

Seeing the boy covering his face and exuding disgust, Eriri Sawamura also showed disgust: "Mind your own business."

Despite saying that, she had no intention of returning the iced cola.

She turned her head away from him and looked out the window instead.

She reached out and pressed the iced cola against her burning cheeks, then closed her eyes in relief.

Eriri Sawamura doesn't like summer. Although her mother says her golden hair suits summer well because it's dazzling, she just doesn't like it.

She disliked the withdrawn version of herself that summer, and consequently, she also began to dislike the bright, incandescent sunlight, the chattering sparrows outside the window, and the sudden downpours.

Even her body seemed to be responding to her dislike of summer; every summer, she would become listless.

She understood that everything started to change that summer. She backed down once, then twice, three times, and every single time.

Feeling the unusual coolness on her face, Eriri Sawamura gripped the iced cola slightly tighter.

Then he rubbed his hand on his head with a look of enjoyment.

......

Yukino Yukinoshita gently ruffled Eriri's hair, her gaze lingering on the view outside the window.

The two cicadas outside the window were still chirping, one after another, and the sunlight was intense, making the leaves shimmer and glare.

It's summer now.

Yukino Yukinoshita prefers winter; she loves the world of snow and wind. However, she also has a certain fondness for summer.

She liked that in the summer, the two of them would eat lunch in the rooftop, sheltered from the sun, and enjoy the cool breeze.

However, it seems there's no way to do that this year.

Gently rubbing Eriri's head, she frowned as she thought about the past few years.

Too many things have happened around him in the past few years. Of course, his love for himself has never changed, but problems have arisen in other areas. Those things have gradually changed him, to the point that things are now beyond repair.

What was the cause? Was it that woman who suddenly claimed to be his wife? No, it wasn't. He initially intended to resolve the situation, but it wasn't Eriri. Eriri, as he expected, didn't do anything extra.

That is, Megumi Kato?

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head and looked at the girl quietly playing on her phone next to him.

This person is probably the biggest surprise of the past three years.

They even had a family dinner over the weekend.

Family dinner?

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him coldly and casually handed the form in her hand to the other end of the long table.

......

Kato Megumi looked up from her phone at the form, glanced up at Yukinoshita who was radiating cold air, then looked down and took the form.

As for Yukinoshita's problem, it's best to leave it to Kaze. He's thick-skinned and can take both beatings and scoldings.

My gaze fell on the table.

Mai's application to join the club was probably intended for Kazehaya, since he has a good relationship with Hiratsuka-sensei, making it easier for him.

Thinking of this, she reached out and wiped the sweat from her cheeks.

That's probably the downside of summer; it's always a bit hot.

However, Kato Megumi still loves this vibrant season the most, because she entered his home in the summer, and he, as her boyfriend, entered her home in the summer.

Kato Megumi's love for summer is multifaceted. She enjoys watching TV quietly in an air-conditioned room, she also loves sudden downpours, and she especially loves him curled up on the sofa, unwilling to move.

At noon, the two of them can yawn together on the sofa.

It's just a pity that we probably won't have as many leisurely moments like this in the living room as we used to.

Thinking of this, she got a little angry, puffed out her cheeks, and stomped on it.

I also handed over that form.

......

Nomiyama looked at Yukinoshita, who had suddenly become angry again, and after thinking for a moment, decided to stop thinking about it.

I've done so many things that have angered her, it's too difficult to figure out exactly which one made her angry.

Reach out, take the form, and incidentally get stepped on.

Nomiyama found Megumi's pouty face cute and grinned.

So he got kicked again.

"Hmm, stepping on someone is a sign of affection," he said, turning his gaze back to the form.

Mai Sakurajima.

Mai-senpai's application to join the club.

He put it away, stood up, and looked at the three members of the Service Club: "Then I'll go see Teacher Hiratsuka."

"Oh." Eriri Sawamura lay there, her voice languid. "And could you also get me a can of iced cola? This one's warm, I'll give it to you later."

"Drink it yourself, or I'll punch you later." Nomiyama laughed angrily.

"Heh." Yukino Yukinoshita sneered.

"Kazehaya, don't bully Eriri, okay?" Kato Megumi said softly.

"Fake boyfriend." Muttering to himself, Nomiyama turned and walked outside.

......

Mai Sakurajima walked out of the classroom and looked at a tree in the school courtyard under the gaze of her classmates.

It's summer, so there are cicadas perched on top, chirping sharply.

summer.

Mai Sakurajima originally disliked summer because she had a big fight with her mother in the summer and then started living alone away from home.

It was a rainy day, a sudden rainstorm.

However, she's starting to like summer now.

Because in that city, turned upside down by summer downpours, she saw two people embracing.

It's amazing how a person's liking for something can be influenced by events and other people.

Mai Sakurajima stared at the tree for a long time before making her decision.

There were at least four cicadas chirping in that tree.

It's so crowded, she couldn't help but think.

Her gaze shifted, and she looked toward the Service Department.

Right now, they're probably enjoying their free time in the Service Club. Yukino is probably reading a paperback, Megumi is playing on her phone, and Eriri is probably just lying on the table, lost in thought. She's not feeling the heat.

As for Kazehaya, it's harder to predict because anything could happen to him.
