All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

——They met because of painting.

However, his achievements in the future will far surpass his own.

Although, she is just one of the many girls on earth who yearn for the bright moon.

But she will still try to catch up.

A cool night breeze blew, and the girl took a deep breath, with a bright flame still burning in her heart.

Ah, so this is what she wanted to say.

She knew that this person had not yet treated her as a girl, and she and this person did not have a deep bond, so if she came to him, there would not be any passionate, touching reunion, and she was not expecting this. She just wanted to tell him -

At night, when the night is dim.

Eriri suddenly said goodbye and quickened her pace to overtake Kiyono.

Then, at a crowded intersection, she suddenly turned around, her azure eyes shining brightly, taking in his entire being. Looking at him like this, she blinked, and a provocative arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Under the dazzling neon lights, she extended her index finger, pointed at him from a distance, and smiled brilliantly.

"I won't lose this time!"

The boy stood there, and when he heard her words, he was slightly stunned, nodded and waved.

The girl suddenly laughed with joy, a real, happy smile, and waved her hands vigorously, revealing her little fangs at the corners of her mouth. She turned around again, her golden hair flying in the night, and she disappeared lightly in the neon lights.

?007. The Straightforwardness of Hachinoshi and His Nemesis

The sky is full of moon on summer nights.

Qingye did not rush back to the hotel. He walked along the quiet streets of the residential area. The lights of homes were shining from the windows of the houses. Behind each light there was a warm family. The air was filled with the lingering heat of the day and the scent of steaming grass and trees. The cicadas and insects chirped in harmony. He casually felt the real summer atmosphere.

What does that summer represent to Eriri?

For him, there were no fireworks and yukatas, no swimming pools and beaches, only grass, soil, sweat, baseball, and, by the way, helping a confused girl. It was just a summer that could be found everywhere.

For Eriri, she once had a dream, which burned to ashes. Someone gave her a little bit of warmth, and then she set off fireworks in the dust. Is such a summer enough for her to give up her childhood sweetheart and fall in love with another person?

He thought of Banaijian again. When did their relationship begin?

Speaking of Lao Ba... Qingye was a little confused. She had participated in the simulation, so why wasn't she there this time? Was she trying to be the last one to appear like last time?

His expression suddenly changed and he stopped.

He heard a call from behind him.

"——Kyono-kun!"

It's crisp, lively, and has a slightly deliberately drawn-out ending, like a shooting star across the summer.

Although he knew that this was her little trick, Qingye's heart still beat a few times. He took a deep breath and turned around.

Under the street light, the beautiful figure that had not been seen for a long time was standing there.

Eight-nectarine and apricot vegetable.

Before Qingye could say anything, the girl suddenly ran towards him with the momentum of a young swallow returning to its nest. He was startled and subconsciously opened his arms, afraid that she would use too much force and fall.

But the girl did not pounce on him as he had imagined. Instead, Banaijian stopped steadily in front of him, bringing with her a scent mixed with the sweet fragrance of shampoo and summer breeze.

He coughed, withdrew his hand, and stared at her involuntarily.

She seemed a little shorter? Or perhaps she'd lost weight? Her sky-blue hair draped softly over her shoulders. She wore denim shorts, revealing legs that were blindingly white under the light. She tilted her head slightly, a familiar, bright, yet slightly mischievous smile plastered on her pretty face as she looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Qingye was lost in thought. It seemed that she always looked the same as in his memory.

Just as this thought emerged in his mind, his gaze could not help but linger on Ba Nai Jian's lips. The corner of his eye twitched. The girl's lips were crystal clear with a cherry-colored luster, and there were still some snack crumbs on the corners of her lips - it was the same in this aspect!

Ba Nai was secretly delighted when she felt his gaze, but she slowly realized something. She subconsciously wiped her lips with one hand, her pretty face turned red, and she took two steps back - how could she have forgotten this? The atmosphere she had worked so hard to create was completely gone!

But there was nothing she could do about it! She had just been watching those two people from behind, and she felt hungry. It was normal for her to buy some snacks!

The blue-haired girl snorted in shame and dissatisfaction.

"Do you want to go get some midnight snack now?" Qingye asked with a smile.

"No way! That's not what we should be talking about now!"

Banai glared at him sideways, what an idiot.

After two seconds, she crossed her arms, tilted her head to one side, and asked, "You, what did you talk about with Eriri just now?"

"We just talked about mature topics like life and the future. But when did you become so close?" Qingye raised his eyebrows. Is this the magical bond between losers?

——How come she is even more useless than I thought!?

Seeing that Ba Nai was complaining silently, he suddenly stopped talking.

As soon as she quieted down, an inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the space. Qingye looked at her strangely. She was bathed in warm yellow light, emitting a delicate and beautiful feeling. Why was the girl so well-behaved today?

At this moment, Banaijian raised her eyes, her eyes were moist and soft like a deer's.

"what about me?"

She looked up at the boy straight, without dodging, and spoke softly.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Qingye's heart moved and his expression was complicated.

As a master in the Yanami domain, he knew what Yanami was doing and what she wanted to do. She wasn't being quiet and obedient before, she was just laying the groundwork! Now she had clenched the shuriken and kunai in her hands, locking herself firmly!

What answer did she want to hear? About Yukinoshita? About the future? Or...

"I accomplished a lot in my last life." Banaijian said to himself.

Qingye's throat rolled.

"When you were away, I worked hard and got into my ideal university. Since I was there, I wanted to become an editor, so I spent all my free time reading all sorts of books, like light novels, comics, and classics..."

She blinked, and the light softly fell on her face, and her long eyelashes cast small fan-like shadows under her eyes.

“Some books are very interesting, while others are very dull. But no matter whether it makes me feel irritated or happy, I will carefully take notes on the shining points I can dig out and the reasons why readers don’t want to read.”

The girl took a step forward, and the sweet scent became stronger.

"Then, I finally became an editor. Being an editor is very arduous. I have to find moving stories in the vast sea of ​​books, deal with experienced authors who delay their submissions, and also deal with all the trivialities of publishing, printing, and publicity... For the first two months, I would stay up until one or two in the morning every day, drinking coffee."

"Ms. Banaijian, you deliberately said so much. Are you trying to tell me about your efforts?" Qingye said.

"Not."

Banaijian paused, and the next second, the smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of grievance, dependence, and a strong sense of coquettishness. She pouted slightly, and her slender eyebrows drooped.

"What I want to say is..." Her voice suddenly softened, with a hint of nasal sound, like melted marshmallows, sweet and sticky, "I miss you so much these days."

boom--

Qingye felt as if something exploded in his head, his body temperature soared uncontrollably, and his ears were burning.

Even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't withstand this kind of attack! This was basically a foul!

Where's Grandpa Qingye? Come and support his account!

But Banaijian's offensive was clearly not over yet.

The girl took another step closer, almost face to face with him. She stretched out her slender fingers, gently grabbed his sleeve, and shook it slightly. The slightly cool touch of her fingertips came through the thin fabric, igniting the skin of his arm like a spark.

“After working so hard for so long, it’s really lonely.”

She stared at the boy with undisguised anticipation, shyness, and a little bit of uneasiness.

"So, reward me?"

"……award?"

How should he do this? Treat her to a nice meal? Give her a hug? Or even a pat on the head? Qingye couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Ok!"

Banaijian seemed to see through his heart. She loosened her hands that were pulling at his sleeves, took a step back slightly, then stretched out her hands to the boy, making a gesture of waiting for a hug. She tilted her head slightly, and her blue pupils swayed tenderly.

"I need Kiyono-kun's 'comfort energy' right now! Right now! I need it to be filled up immediately!"

She raised her eyes slightly and declared confidently, as if this was some precious treasure.

The hug that was not completed when we first met is finally going to be completed at this moment.

She was clearly not seductive, but she carried a deadly charm.

The sweet fragrance of her body lingered around his nose. Qingye's breathing stagnated. He felt that the sounds of the world were slowly disappearing, leaving only the heartbeat in his chest. His blood began to boil. In his sight, there was only the blue-haired girl's gentle and lovely face close at hand.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but it stopped in mid-air. The figure of Yukinoshita flashed through his mind. He had lived with Yukinoshita in the simulation for so long, so was it really okay for him to do such a thing with other girls... Had he made up his mind?

"Mr. Qingye, don't you want to hug me?" Banaijian said again.

do not care.

Qingye sighed deeply and hugged the girl in front of him.

The moment the two hugged each other, they felt a throbbing in their hearts, and felt from each other the air that was hotter than summer.

Banaijian's body stiffened slightly in his arms, and then she completely relaxed, as if she had found a home. She closed her eyes slightly, her expression satisfied, and a hint of a smirk quietly blossomed under the moonlight.

After a long time, she said:

"Do you miss me at all, Kiyono-kun?"

miss her?

His thoughts were like ripples on a lake after a stone was dropped. He had indeed been thinking about it for a long time, but by the second half of the simulation, in his mind, which had already taken on the shape of the Yukinoshita family, the name Yanaijian had become a mixture of the beauty and regret of his youth... After returning to reality, he calmed down a lot.

"...Hmm." Qingye hummed a syllable almost vaguely from his nose, so short that it was almost inaudible, with a sense of haste in an attempt to remain indifferent.

At this moment, he felt the body in his arms suddenly tighten, and the hot emotions flowed through his skin to his heart. The girl, whose expression could not be seen, hugged him tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Then Kiyono-kun—you have to replenish my energy as well, okay?"

He opened his mouth, but no words came out. His throat seemed to be blocked by invisible cotton. What's wrong with this woman today? She's too aggressive! Who can stand this?

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Banaijian seemed to have exhausted all her courage and suddenly let go of him. Her pretty face looked like a drunken beauty and her steps staggered a bit - it seemed that she was not as at ease as she had imagined.

"Where are you staying tonight?" Qingye pretended not to see.

"It's right next door to you!" Yanaijian gave a thumbs up. "Eriri paid for me!"

Qingye's eyes suddenly became alert and sharp, like a beast that smelled some trap.

............

Late at night, Qingye lay in bed, tossing and turning, occasionally looking at the ceiling, his eyes unconsciously revealing a broken melancholy.

I could still feel the girl's almost scorching warmth in my arms.

He now deeply understood the feelings of the heroine in the book, the shame of betraying his loyalty, the powerlessness of watching his own fall, and the horror of discovering that he was unconsciously enjoying it... I'm not a married woman!

Buzz buzz buzz, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that Yukinoshita Yukino and Haruno had sent messages at the same time. He hummed and felt guilty.

He replied to each message one by one, and then he unexpectedly saw a message from another loser girl.

Xiaoju.

lemon.

What are they doing now?

At this moment, under the same night sky.

A short-haired girl was running on a street with fewer and fewer pedestrians. The sweat on her forehead was sparkling and flowing down, but she didn't care. She just poured all her strength into her legs, causing the street scenes on both sides to recede continuously.

run.

It seemed that all she could do now was to run in vain.

Ah Qing...what are you doing now?

Shaoyan Lemon suddenly stopped, supported her knee with one hand, her chest heaving violently, and she looked up with heavy breathing. In front of her was a brightly lit hotel. Aqing should be in the hotel in Chiba now, right?

Does he... live alone?

That woman named Yukinoshita Haruno is so aggressive, she will definitely not let the lonely boy go, right?

Must...must have...
