"As for reliability... I'm probably still not as good as him. Although we don't often play together, there are many times when I'm grateful to him for working with me to turn our ideas into reality."
"No, that's because Xiaowei and Xinxin can easily do many things as long as they want to; but in terms of a trustworthy and worthy character, Xiao Misaki is no less than Xiaowei!"
Misaki looked out at the sea view at night, not wanting Kanon to look directly at her somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Descriptions like worthy of trust and trustworthiness...haha, using them on me is too much..."
While the two were chatting, the door to the terrace was opened from the outside, and Xianjuan Wei, who had not been away for long, came back directly.
Xian Juanwei, who had just run all the way from the seventh floor to the second floor and back again, was holding a few things in his arms, and there was no sign of disorder in his breathing.
"That's good. I knew there would be some unburned candles left over from the birthday party."
"Luckily, the tea room has a variety of flowers, regardless of price or quality, otherwise it would be difficult if there were only roses."
"The tea room? Xiao Wei, why did you go there?"
Hanane subconsciously thought, "Isn't the tea room on the second floor?"
Also, rather than calling it a "tea room", it would be more accurate to say that there are a few tables for afternoon tea in the greenhouse.
Xian Juanwei returned to her seat, holding a bag of candles and many fragile-looking small flowers with white petals and yellow centers that still had their stems attached.
Xian Juanwei bent the flower stem with great skill and said:
"Because Kokoro and I always celebrated Kanon's birthday together before, and this year is the first time I've been absent, I just thought that besides a blessing, I should have something else to make up for Kanon."
"When I saw the photos Kokoro sent me the other day, the tiara Kanon wore at your birthday party was the one Kokoro and I had custom-made for you a few months ago... We don't have time to get a new tiara of that size right now, and I don't think Kanon would feel anything special about wearing that princess tiara again just a few days later."
Xianjuan Wei smiled, looking at the white and yellow flower crown that was rapidly taking shape in her hand:
"Tonight is such a rush, and the conditions are a bit simple, so we might as well just keep it simple. Isn't that a rare experience?"
"These are fence-sitters in my hands..."
As he spoke, Xian Juanwei suddenly realized that the name was no longer simple, it was really a bit inappropriate.
A scene in which a great flower arrangement master once casually mentioned a few words to the roadside flower beds at the end of a joint live performance reappeared in his mind.
"Oh, no, it's annual grass. I'm glad it's still in the tea room... I developed this useless skill when I was playing with flowers and plants with Xin when I was a kid."
As he spoke, he checked the completed flower crown in his hand, and then placed it on the head of Kanon, who was still in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
He took out three more candles and stuck them into the remaining cake, the top half of which had been scraped off, revealing some of the not-so-delicate cake base. He then took out the lighter he had asked the man in black for and lit it.
"A friend of mine said that they only light three candles for girls' birthdays, and the rest are for three years and a certain number of months..."
"Even though the cake isn't pretty, the candles aren't fully lit, and the tiara is a makeshift one made out of cheap little flowers..."
"But I have to say it again: Happy birthday, Kanon."
Misaki was stunned by what was happening before her eyes. She was still wondering why this guy suddenly activated the superhuman mode today after calling Kokoro yesterday. When she saw Genmaki Yui smiling and putting her hands together, she quickly did the same.
"Happy birthday, Kanon!"
"Uh..." Hanane's fingers trembled a little. She reached out to touch the crown of flowers on her head. Her lips moved slightly but only a soft "ah..." sound came out.
Genjumaki Wei nodded and said, "I don't know what Hanane will think, but I've never had a birthday experience like this before. I suddenly thought it might be novel and interesting, so I went for it."
"Happy birthday!" This time, the two people other than Hanane repeated the cry in unison.
Chapter 66 Please protect the smile of the heart with me
"Xiao Wei...Xiao Misaki..."
Hanane's voice was choked with sobs, and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Thank you... It was such a special and unexpected birthday party..." Wife + wife (Part 7) 3 dead
Xianjuan Wei pointed at the half-eaten cake and said, "Then, please make a wish, my roommate, Hanane, who is three years and several months old."
"Ok!"
Hanane closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart that was different from the one she made at the birthday party a few days ago, a wish that only she knew about.
Some sudden thoughts emerged in Hana's mind:
Can two wishes made consecutively on the same birthday come true at the same time?
If the first wish is taken as the standard, then when making the second wish, can it be fulfilled a little bit more because there is someone present who was not at the first birthday party?
Under the moonlight and lights late at night, Hanane opened her eyes and blew out the only three candles.
Raising the cake cutter again, Hanane divided the remaining layer of cake into three parts according to the principle of "each part must have a candle".
"This one belongs to Xiaowei... This one belongs to Xiaomi... This one is mine..."
The cake that Kanon cut this time was a little crooked, and her wrist seemed to tremble from time to time when she was cutting.
"That day, when I was trying to sell my snare drum, I ran into Xinxin who was singing... and got to know everyone... I was so lucky."
Misaki felt as if a vein on her forehead was throbbing.
Kanon-san looks like she's a little too excited!
For safety's sake, to prevent anything serious from happening, we can't let Kanon-san continue to be immersed in such emotions...
By the way, the person who started all this today is right next to us!
"Yui-kun...just before Kanon came, we were talking about...ah, Kokoro seemed a little down after the phone call yesterday."
After hearing Misaki's words, Hanane also shifted her attention:
"That's right...Xinxin looked so distressing at that time."
"Ah...don't worry about it. I'm also very troubled. The more I care about this kind of thing, the more I torture myself."
Xianjuan Wei touched his forehead, looking a little painful.
Seeing Misaki and Kanon eagerly waiting for the explanation, Genmaki Yui sighed:
"I'm sure I have a girl I like and want to marry."
"Huh?" Misaki and Kanon simultaneously entered into a shutdown state, and the eight of Suzu Moe, Suzu Scar, and Mushichi all appeared together.
"And there's more than one." Xian Juanwei continued to hold his head in distress.
"Not only that... Reimu's first release!" Misaki stumbled.
"One..." Hanane's voice sounded as if her soul was about to leave her body.
Xian Juanwei let out a long breath, leaned back in his chair, his eyes looking worried and sad.
"Perhaps... the first sentence is the main reason for my troubles, and the second sentence is the root of my pain."
Xian Juan Wei's response to the question of "whether to go the pure love route" is consistent:
If no one asks me, I won't tell them proactively as if I want the whole world to know, but if they ask me, I will answer truthfully without hiding anything, even if I just did something a minute ago that might increase my favorability.
Even if this lowers your reputation through word of mouth and makes it more difficult to deepen relationships with certain girls in the future, it doesn't matter. Cheating in such a matter and changing course later will inevitably cause the greatest pain.
He wouldn't specifically ask others to keep secrets for him in this regard - mainly because the girls he knew weren't the type to easily talk about other people's sensitive secrets unless it involved themselves or their important friends.
"So...that's how it is...No wonder Kokoro has that expression..." Misaki murmured.
"Back in that country where the princess looked exactly like me, when Xin realized she couldn't bear to leave everyone, her expression was very similar to yesterday's..." Hanane said softly as she recalled, "Xiao Wei, who has been with Xin for seventeen years, must be even more reluctant to leave..."
Xian Juanwei sighed, then slowly turned the fork around:
"So... I'm here today. Kokoro probably needs me by her side the most right now... Please, Misaki and Kanon, don't tell Ikumi about this. She's not the type to keep her secrets. If too many people know, it will only bother Kokoro."
"I'm sorry for letting you see how unhappy Xin and I were. Although I'm responsible for Xin's sadness, I hope she can always smile like that. The past is over, and I can only make amends in whatever way I can in the future."
"I'm sorry I told you about what happened between me and Kokoro. This itself hurts Kokoro and seems to make me look even worse... But since you've already seen the clues, you'll probably keep this matter in your heart."
"But Yui-san told us everything..." Misaki suddenly felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have continued with the previous question.
"Because Misaki and Kanon are both trustworthy people..." Genmaki Yui's eyes swept across their faces.
"Please, both of you, please help me protect the smile of my heart."
"I see..." Misaki's expression turned serious and solemn, "I didn't hear anything tonight."
"Well, I haven't been here tonight! I don't know anything!" Hanane also raised her hand to assure.
"I can only use time to slowly make up for the troubles in my heart. As for the root of my pain, I will solve it soon..." Xianjuan Wei said softly, looking at the fork that was smeared with some cream and was slowly turning.
“Eh?*2”
"I'm going to go see my parents in person someday... and then the legal barriers preventing me from being with multiple people I like will no longer exist."
Xianjuan Wei's eyes were solemn as he inserted his fork into the tiramisu beside him.
An hour later, in Hanane's rest cabin.
With red circles under her eyes, Kanon looked out the window at the sea that was so dark that it seemed to swallow her up. She sat on the bed hugging her pillow, trying for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep.
"Why do I have to deliver that cake tonight..."
"I was so happy at first, but later I felt regretful... I really wish I hadn't heard anything tonight."
"Whether it's Xinxin or Xiaowei...it would be nice if we didn't know anything about them, just ate the cake together and left."
"Xiao Wei suddenly went to make a wreath for me and held a birthday party again. When I was happy, Xiao Misaki asked about Xinxin's matter again, and then it turned out like that."
Kanon grabbed the pillow with both hands in annoyance, pushing it in front of her and pulling it back again and again.
"I went to deliver the cake because Xiaowei was busy with the barbecue and didn't eat. Xiaowei didn't eat because Xinxin was unhappy. Xinxin didn't eat because... In the end, everything was caused by Xiaowei herself."
After a long silence, looking at the pillow whose shape could only be vaguely seen in the darkness, Hanane sighed weakly and tiredly.
"Xiao Wei, can you really...solve the obstacle?"
"Is it enough to just remove the legal obstacles? The final problem still lies with him and... others, right?"
"The lack of legal recognition doesn't prevent some people from actually living together... Xiao Wei isn't doing this for him, but for the person he loves, right?"
"Two short yet long years are certainly not enough to thoroughly understand a person, but after what happened today, I can at least say I wasn't wrong about him... He's indeed someone as reliable as Misaki-chan."
Chapter 67 Empty Nest Sumu Lacks Love
A few hours ago, Tokyo.
Ruoye Mu sat on the bed in her new room. Qi Er (3) Lin Shijiu was very angry, her eyes were fixed on the screen of her mobile phone, but she didn't know what to do.
She brought her pink guitar with her and played it alone in her room as usual.
But today, Wakaba Mu felt that when he played, there seemed to be a certain feeling missing, so much so that he always felt that something was missing, a little empty...
At first she thought it might be because she had changed rooms and the environment and had not had time to adapt.
So I turned the lights down to the dimmest, but when I played the guitar solo, I still felt a sense of loss in my heart.
Think about it carefully. Apart from changes in the environment, what other factors could cause today's guitar experience to be different from usual?
After sitting on the chair with his guitar and thinking for a long time, Ruo Yemu felt that he seemed to have finally found the answer:
Today is actually no different from the past few years. On the contrary, last night's experience was completely different from the usual life that I had become accustomed to...
So much so that just one day was not enough to erase the memories left by that novel night.
It seems that when I get home and have no program arrangements, I no longer just go to the practice room and communicate with my guitar.
It’s no longer like before, when even though I was living under the same roof with other people, I would still calmly greet the time after school with a lonely heart…
No, this mentality hasn't lasted long, has it? In fact, just a year ago, I looked forward to spending time with Xiang after school every day...
But in the past, Xiang, who had the continuous input of Fengchuan's energy, could emit energy all the time to illuminate others. Since his uncle's accident, Xiang has been using all his remaining energy just to support himself from falling down.
The conversation we had a year ago is still so vivid in my mind.
"Are you really going to drop out of school?"
"Xiao Mu, do you know that the tuition fees for Yuezhisen are very high..."
Xiang, who couldn't even use a beverage machine, started talking about money with such a helpless attitude.
Xiang's figure not only disappeared from the Moon Forest, but also almost disappeared from Wakaba Mu's life - a part-time job as a newspaper deliveryman and customer service representative who also had to strive for scholarships did not have much time to accompany the second-generation star rich girl in her extracurricular life.
Thus, the last pillar that supported the temple of the soul from being crushed by the boulder of loneliness was also smashed down, and the entire temple became a ruin except for a few decorative walls.
Nagasaki Suyo once made Wakaba Mutsu think that it would be the person who would accompany her beside the ruins.
But after quietly observing Su Shi's behavior for a while, Ruo Yemu discovered that every time she tried to find something in the ruins, she would keep murmuring "Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang".
Like her, they are all trapped by Xiang. Su Shi just came to the ruins called "Mu" to hunt for treasure, trying to find the clues of the treasure map of "Xiangzi"'s treasure.
Therefore, Ruoye Mu's expectations for Su Shi, like the part of Su Shi's companionship that truly represents his care for her, although not conspicuous, at least always exist.
