Chapter 335 A sudden strong wind (11)
By the time everyone had finished their shower and were lying down on their beds, it was already past eleven o'clock.
"Turn off the lights?" Koizumi Aona called out, and the club classroom immediately fell into darkness.
The curtains were drawn, blocking the moonlight from coming in, so she used the light from her cell phone screen to return to her bed.
The rectangular beech table was moved away, and the wide side that previously faced the window now became the long side.
In the space vacated on the table, the three of them slept in this order: {window, Asuka Mai, Koizumi Aona, Ikki Aoi, door}.
{Window, Kiyono Rin, Kujo Miki, Watanabe Toru, wall near the door}, they slept on Kujo Miki's low table and sofa in this order.
The low table and sofa were also moved aside.
Watanabe Toru was surprised that Kujo Miki was willing to sleep head to head with Koizumi Aona, and the same was true when they took a bath together before.
"This is my first time living in school. What about you, teacher?" Ikki Aoi turned her head and asked Koizumi Aona.
"I lived here once when I was in high school," Koizumi Aina replied softly. "Because of the earthquake, all the people in the town took refuge in the high school I attended at the time."
"When I was in junior high school, I stayed in school because of heavy snow," Toru Watanabe followed.
"I feel a little excited." Ikki Aoi squirmed slightly in the quilt.
"It's time to go to bed." Koizumi Aona reminded.
The club classroom fell silent, and Toru Watanabe could clearly hear the different breathing sounds of the five people.
Some people fell asleep quickly, while others took a long time to fall asleep. When everyone else fell asleep, he was still not sleepy.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and he usually went to bed at this time.
But after this Saturday and Sunday, there will be a long-planned drama performance, and he will try to reconcile the two during the performance.
The more I simulated that day in my mind, the clearer my brain became, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Feeling that he would not be able to fall asleep for a while, Watanabe Toru simply lifted the quilt quietly and prepared to go to the overhead corridor to get some fresh air.
The air that night was much cleaner than during the day, maybe it was just a psychological effect.
There are not many stars in the sky. The brightest thing is the aviation lights of an airplane, one red and one green, flashing.
Toru Watanabe leaned his arm on the handrail of the corridor and looked out at the quiet yet bustling Shinjuku district.
Less than half a minute after watching, footsteps were heard in the corridor of the club building.
Watanabe Toru turned his head and saw a slender figure walking towards him.
Even in the dark, her figure is still indescribably beautiful. You don't need to look closely to know it's Kiyono Rin.
She walked out of the corridor and came outside. Yue Se couldn't wait to pounce on her, and Watanabe Toru was able to see her lovely face clearly.
She was wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of a cat curled up sleeping, and a pair of safety-pants-like shorts, with her two most beautiful legs in the world exposed.
Her skin was snow-white, and under the moonlight, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
"Did I wake you up?" Toru Watanabe asked.
"Yes and no." Qing Ye Lin elegantly hugged her elbows and came to his side, looking at the night Shinjuku area with him. "It's my first time sleeping in a strange place. I have a light sleep and even the slightest sound will wake me up."
"I remember you had this habit, and I thought you had trouble sleeping, but it turns out you're just a light sleeper."
"What about you? It's your first time sleeping with so many close girls, and you can't sleep because you're thinking about dirty things?"
"Yeah, I want to get under your quilt, but it's a little difficult with Meiji in between."
"I woke up the moment you lifted the quilt."
"Is there any connection between whether you wake up or not and me crawling into your bed?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.
"What happens after you get in?"
"I gently lifted your blanket and saw your round, white shoulders - I'm not kidding or exaggerating, it's as if I could really smell the fragrance, and my body instantly heated up after just a little bit of it."
"Where are my clothes?"
"I lifted the quilt a little higher and saw my collarbone. My body temperature was even higher, frighteningly high, at least 40 degrees, maybe only 39 degrees. After all, I haven't had a cold for a long time."
"Stop talking nonsense there." Qingye Rin sighed, his voice pleasant.
"It's so hot, how can I bear it? So I put down the quilt again and ran out to get some fresh air."
"You really like to lie." In the moonlight, Qingye Rin smiled faintly.
Watanabe Toru turned his head and said to her face, which was becoming more and more beautiful in the moonlight: "I'm not lying, I just want to say all kinds of things to you."
"Why?" Qingye Rin turned her head and looked at him.
Watanabe Toru did not answer immediately.
He withdrew his gaze from Kiyono Rin and looked up at the night sky.
The plane, with its aviation lights flashing, moved very slowly in the night.
"There were no fireworks displays this summer," he said.
"I'm traveling." replied Qingye Rin.
"I want to go to see it with you, every year; I want to go to the festival once, and see you wearing a cool yukata and eating shaved ice; in Nagoya or any other city late at night, go into a restaurant that is still open. What else? Oh, right, climb mountains."
“Go hiking in the summer?”
"We climbed Mt. Takao last year."
“I climbed the mountain this year, too.”
"Anyway," Toru Watanabe turned his head and looked at Rin Kiyono, "I want to continue lying to you like I did tonight, I want to say many, many things to you, and I want to do many, many things with you."
In the late night when the air is clear, it is easy for people to speak out their true feelings.
I can't help but open my heart to the people around me, just like I am opening my heart to the distant shining stars.
Staring at her eyes that sparkled like the Milky Way, Watanabe Toru said the last sentence:
"I like you."
Kiyono Rin looked at his face for a long time, suddenly lowered her head, then turned away and looked up at the night sky like Watanabe Toru just now.
The plane in the night sky was moving very slowly, but it was moving forward steadily bit by bit.
"No response?" Watanabe Toru was incredulous. "This is my confession of love. You are really making me sad."
"Watanabe." Qingye Rin said in a light tone.
"Hmm?" Watanabe Toru lowered his voice.
"I'm now..." Qingye Rin seemed to be thinking about how to describe her inner feelings at the moment, but finally gave up because she couldn't think of enough appropriate words.
She then said:
"Perhaps there will never be another night like this, but when I think that maybe in the late summer in the future, I will be able to listen to your rare honesty and frankness on a night as beautiful as today, my heart is filled with comfort and anticipation."
The sound mixed with breath sounded particularly clear in the open area on the fifth floor.
"Do you agree or not?" Watanabe Toru stared at her with his dark eyes.
"Don't you understand girls' hearts very well?" Qing Ye Lin tilted her head cutely and teased, "How come you don't understand such a simple thing now?"
"promise?"
"reject."
"Ah——" Watanabe Toru screamed softly.
"But," Qing Ye Lin raised her right hand, which had been hugging her left elbow, and combed her bangs, which always looked good, "I like you, too."
"…It doesn't matter if I jump down now and die on the spot."
"It would bother me if you did that."
"Then don't jump." Watanabe Toru let go of the corridor handrail with both hands, "What should I do? I'm so hot now, do you want to buy some drinks? I'll treat you."
"Did you bring your wallet?"
Toru Watanabe was wearing a pair of shorts with big pockets, but they were empty without a penny.
"No." Watanabe Toru felt his pocket and said simply.
Qingye Rin released her left hand from her right elbow, and in that clean and slender hand, she held a simple and cute wallet.
"The most special one is you, above all else, you, my God, R-san!" Toru Watanabe reached out and took the wallet.
"Remember to give me the change, and return the money, including my share."
When I opened my wallet, the first thing I saw was Kiyono Rin's student card.
"Long hair as black as lead powder, a cool little face like moonlight, a flower on the mountain top." While commenting, Toru Watanabe took out a 500 yen coin from his wallet.
"It's no use praising me, just remember to pay me back."
"You're so stingy about money? If anyone marries you in the future, won't they have no financial freedom at all?"
"I advise you to give me the 100 billion yen that you didn't know where it came from , so that you don't use it to buy a house for someone else."
"I took 500 yen from you, but you're thinking about my 100 billion?"
The two came to the vending machine in the corner of the fifth floor.
Aside from the green landmark of 'Escape Route', that was the only light on.
A few insects, either from late summer or early autumn, were clinging to the glass.
The light from the red machine was too dazzling for eyes that were accustomed to darkness, so Qingye Rin took a quick look and then looked away.
Toru Watanabe stuffed the coins in and bought oolong tea and Coke.
Coke cans and plastic bottles fell with clanging sounds.
"The sound of drinks falling at night seems to be more pleasant than during the day, with a hint of loneliness." Toru Watanabe picked up the drink and handed the plastic bottle to Rin Kiyono.
“Remember to pay back the money.”
“You can do it!”
"And the 100 billion."
"That's mine."
At six o'clock the next morning, Koizumi Aona was the first to wake up.
I subconsciously looked at Watanabe Toru. The bed was empty. He must have gone for a morning jog.
I looked at the others again and saw Asu Mai next to me, sleeping quietly with her face towards the classroom door.
Aoi Ikki's sleeping posture is very strange, as if she is enjoying a sunbath seductively, but looking at her expression, she is undoubtedly sleeping very soundly.
Koizumi Aona reached out and covered her with the quilt.
Miki Kujo was facing towards Toru Watanabe, she looked very cute while sleeping and was breathing evenly.
Kiyono Rin has the most standard sleeping posture. She looks the same when she is asleep and when she wakes up.
"It turns out there are people who don't change their sleeping posture and stay beautiful." She sighed in her heart and sat up.
"Teacher?" Qingye Rin sat up. She was woken up again.
"Did I wake you up?" Koizumi Aona whispered, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early before seven o'clock."
Qingye Rin just shook her head and didn't have the energy to speak.
She was woken up by Toru Watanabe last night, and then fell asleep. Aoi Ikki occasionally talked in her sleep or moved around, which woke her up again. In the morning, she was woken up by Toru Watanabe again, and now it's Aona Koizumi.
She looked completely sleep-deprived, but she was in good spirits.
The two men left the bed, and in order not to wake up others, they did not tidy up the quilt, and just left it there casually like Watanabe Toru.
After changing their clothes quietly, the two did not go to the special washroom, but went to the sink for washing musical instruments in front of the music classroom on the third floor.
From the corridor windows, you can see the running track and baseball field.
On the track, Toru Watanabe was running around in circles by himself.
"Watanabe is really self-disciplined." Koizumi Aona squeezed the toothpaste.
"Ah~~" Qingno Rin yawned. She had no interest in sports at all.
While washing up, the two of them passed the time by watching Toru Watanabe on the track.
After washing up, they went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"A simple curry with a bowl of soup will do." Qingye Rin tied an apron around her slender waist, "I'll cut the vegetables."
"Well, I'm washing rice." Koizumi Aona rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender wrists.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and the meal slowly took shape and began to emit fragrance.
"The curry is almost ready." Koizumi Aona turned and said to Kiyono Rin.
"Same here." Qingye Rin scooped some soup into a small dish and tasted it.
Koizumi Aona looked at her profile and couldn't help but say, "Seino-san is really beautiful."
"If they weren't beautiful, Watanabe-san wouldn't have been staring at my legs since the day I joined the club."
Koizumi Aona remembered that when she was using Watanabe Toru's body, she had been staring at Kiyono Rin's profile, and her face turned red instantly.
Fortunately, other people won’t remember the things that you feel ashamed of.
"The soup is ready." Qingye Rin nodded with satisfaction and put down the small plate.
In the Human Observation Department, all the quilts on the floor were put away and the beech table was put back in its original place.
Six people sat at the table and had breakfast.
The window was open, and the cool morning breeze sneaked in along with the aroma of curry, and curiously flipped through the script that Qingye Rin had placed next to her.
"The soup is so delicious! I can never get enough of the curry!" Ikki Aoi looked very happy.
"There's more after you finish eating." Koizumi Aona said kindly.
"Yeah!" Ikki Aoi nodded happily. "It was so much fun to stay together with everyone at school for the cultural festival! It took me a long time to fall asleep last night!"
"He looks in good spirits," said Toru Watanabe.
"Because I have been in deep sleep all the time!" said Aoi Ikki proudly.
Just then, Qingye Rin yawned.
"Didn't Kiyono-san sleep well?" asked Aoi Ikki.
Kujo Miki glanced at Kiyono Rin and saw that she looked a little tired. She knew it was because she was not used to the unfamiliar place, but she still mocked her:
"It was my first time sleeping so close to Watanabe, so of course I couldn't sleep well."
"You're wrong, Kujo-san." Kiyono Rin calmly ate her curry rice with a spoon, "This isn't the closest I've ever gotten to sleeping with Watanabe-san."
"Hmm?" Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe.
Not only her, the other three also looked over, and even the wind was blowing Watanabe Toru's bangs.
"How come I don't know?" Watanabe Toru asked puzzledly.
He recalled carefully and had no impression of sleeping with Kiyono Rin, but Kiyono Rin would not lie.
Could it be that Qingye Rin secretly slept next to him once?
That was impossible. No one could sneak up on him unless he pretended not to notice.
"As expected of a man with three girlfriends." Qingye Rin's calm tone sounded particularly sarcastic.
"One girlfriend and two lovers." They seemed to chat a lot like friends last night, but Kujo Miki didn't take those two people seriously.
It's just because of Toru Watanabe that I don't feel physically repulsive.
"How come I didn't know about sleeping with you?" Toru Watanabe really couldn't remember.
"Isn't it normal for Kiyono-san to sleep with Watanabe-kun?" After saying this, Aoi Ikki thought of Mai Asuka beside her.
Senior Mai, who is so beautiful and has such a good figure, has also slept with Watanabe - after realizing this fact, Aoi Ikki felt that even curry didn't taste good anymore.
The four people, including Toru Watanabe, looked at Ikki Aoi, but Ikki Aoi was immersed in a faint sadness and did not notice this scene.
Qing Ye Lin retracted her gaze and said to Watanabe Toru: " Last year during the cultural festival, on the day when the typhoon ended, you came to my house and I slept next to you all night."
“…”
"Last year's cultural festival? Really, dear?" Miki Kujo asked Toru Watanabe with a smile.
"Although it's true, your statement is too easy to be misunderstood!"
After Watanabe Toru finished speaking to Kiyono Rin, he explained to Kujo Miki:
"The next day was the cultural festival, and the film hadn't been edited yet. I ran into her at a convenience store, so I went to help her. But she was so tired that she fell asleep. I didn't even touch her because I was busy editing the film."
"A heartless man." Qingye Rin said lightly.
Kujo Miki looked at her face and said with a smile: "You seem to be in a good mood today?"
"Yeah." Qingye Rin picked up the soup bowl and took a sip with satisfaction.
