Chapter 357: Qingye-san, I like you.
"Kiyono-san."
"What's wrong?"
"I like you."
Watanabe Toru remembers the scene of that day very clearly.
The ears of silvergrass swayed slowly in the autumn breeze of November, and the thin clouds lingered in the azure sky.
The white air exhaled seemed to be sucked away by the rising sun.
Everything is filled with the rich flavor of autumn, presenting an almost transparent world.
Standing among the reeds, Qingye Rin is as clear and beautiful as the autumn day.
"I know ." said Qingye Rin.
"I like you." Watanabe Toru repeated again.
"Why are you..." She seemed to understand something and didn't continue.
The wind gently blew her hair, and her eyes under her long eyelashes looked quietly at Watanabe Toru.
Just by looking into Kiyono Rin's eyes, Watanabe Toru's aura was completely taken away.
The chirping of birds in the distant mixed woods seemed to come from the farthest world.
"I like you and want to be with you."
"How come you're together ?" Kiyono Rin stared at Watanabe Toru calmly.
"You, me, Miki, Mai-senpai, and Aona-sensei," Toru Watanabe answered.
"Does that make sense to you?"
"unreasonable."
"Is it normal?"
“Not normal.”
"Would I be willing?"
"No."
Qingye Rin stopped talking, her clear and beautiful eyes flickered with the sadness of falling in love with someone.
"I like you."
Watanabe Toru had no other choice but to be completely and thoroughly honest with all his feelings.
"I've been thinking about you a lot lately," he said. "You're all over my mind. Sometimes I'm very happy, and sometimes I'm so sad that I want to cry. My thoughts are confused, but the only thing that's clear is that I love you and I can't lose you."
Qingye Rin's eyes turned toward the silver grass on the roadside.
Once a person has the happiness he wants to pursue, he will also have nights when he wants to cry.
"I like you." Toru Watanabe once again said the only reason that kept him standing here.
"I like you, too."
Kiyono Rin withdrew her gaze from the silver grass and looked at Watanabe Toru's face.
There were only two meters between them, but she felt the vastness of the river of destiny.
She was very clear and understood the responsibility that Watanabe Toru shouldered, a responsibility as heavy as the highest mountain in the island nation - Mount Fuji.
Not only is it heavy, but the responsibility is as reasonable and logical as all rivers flowing into the sea and the sun setting in the west. It must be shouldered.
Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono and felt her gentle and clear love.
How much Kiyono Rin loves Watanabe Toru, just as how much Watanabe Toru loves Kiyono Rin.
Now, Toru Watanabe can be sure:
When he tossed and turned, couldn't sleep because of missing her, and felt sad and painful that they couldn't be together, she did the same.
"Kiyono-san, I like you."
Kiyono Rin looked at Watanabe Toru without saying a word.
"I like you, so much so that no matter what kind of person I am, honest or dishonest, loyal or fickle, I must let you be with me."
"I thought so too, that's why I wanted to snatch you away from those three people." Qingye Rin stared into the distance, the sky was vast and boundless.
"Is there anything else to say?" she asked with her back to Watanabe Toru.
These alone were not enough to convince herself.
"Watanabe-san, you must have another way. No matter if it's a lie or not, please give me a reason to be with you."
"Kiyono-san." Watanabe Toru's voice was filled with an unconcealable loneliness.
It was the first time that Kiyono Rin heard Watanabe Toru, who usually spoke with a smile, speak in such a sad tone.
Her heart began to tremble, and she couldn't help closing her eyes, afraid that she would shed tears.
"I need you." Watanabe Toru's voice continued.
"I always thought that I was the one who led you out of loneliness and the pillar that supported you to stick to your ideals."
"But I'm not." Watanabe Toru closed his eyes and his throat began to feel sore.
"You don't need me at all. You can live well on your own. Loneliness is nothing to you. No one can shake your faith."
Qingye Rin's fragile body carries such a unique girl's heart, which is so strong that it can even reach the farthest part of the universe.
“I am the one who is afraid of loneliness, and I am also the one who needs support.”
"It's not that you need me, it's that I need you."
"Kiyono-san, I like you."
Qingye Rin turned around and opened her eyes.
"Did I ask you not to be with me?" Her voice was calm, and crystal tears slid down her beautiful cheeks that showed just a little sadness.
Watanabe Toru was so sad that he could not control himself. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"I know." After a long time, he finally got used to the pain. "I know it's all my fault. There is no reason for you to be with me, but..."
Watanabe Toru choked up again.
"All I can do now is beg you."
"I beg you to forget all my faults for now. Even if you care about them in your heart, please wait until we are together before you blame me as much as you want."
"Kiyono-san, I like you."
"I really want to... really want to... really want to be with you."
"Toru Watanabe wants to be with you."
"Kiyono-san, I like you."
"Without you, my life is impossible."
"Kiyono-san, I like you."
Kiyono Rin turned around and faced away from Watanabe Toru. There was no sound, only her shoulders were shaking.
Looking up at the clouds in the sky, in the silver grass wilderness of Sengokuhara, Toru Watanabe quietly waited for Kiyono Rin's answer.
Under the high dome, he felt as transparent as water and as light as a feather.
Without Kiyono Rin, Watanabe Toru is indeed not going to be able to do it.
Finally, Qingye Rin calmed down and turned around again. Even though she was facing the light, her eyes were still sparkling with moisture.
"Okay," she said.
The sunlight, which gradually became hotter, shone on Watanabe Toru's face.
The wind blew over from Qingye Rin's direction, and I could smell her fragrance and the scent of Miscanthus.
"I want to confirm..." Watanabe Toru made a dry sound in his throat. He couldn't help swallowing and clearing his throat.
"What did you say?" he asked cautiously.
"I said," Qing Ye Lin took a deep breath, "Okay."
"We... are together?" Watanabe Toru's voice gradually became louder.
Qingye Rin seemed to be cold and shy, so she hugged her arms and nodded with a "hmm".
Toru Watanabe stared at her blankly, frozen at that moment, without blinking.
Before Qingye Rin could react, he turned and ran.
Under the gaze of Qingye Rin, he ran along the straight path in the reeds, shouting along the way, scaring the cheerful wild birds in the early morning into flight.
In the end, he somersaulted several times.
When he was almost out of sight, he ran back.
He stopped in front of her, his face full of enthusiasm and excitement, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.
Looking at Watanabe Toru like this, Kiyono Rin felt warm in her heart and she gently adjusted her bangs shyly.
"Idiot," she whispered.
"Idiot, I'm an idiot!" Watanabe Toru said happily, "You can call me whatever you want!"
"Because as long as you can hear my ethereal voice like the sound of nature, you will feel comfortable in your heart?" Qingye Rin put down his hand and said with a relaxed smile.
"When I hear your ethereal voice like the sound of nature, I feel very comfortable!" Watanabe Toru repeated with a smile.
Qingye Rin glanced at him, but couldn't help turning her eyes away: "You are too happy."
"My confession was successful, of course I'm happy!" Watanabe Toru couldn't help but raise his arms and shout again, "Kiyono Rin is mine——!"
"Kiyono Rin, it's mine!"
The entire Sengokuhara was filled with his voice, the silver grass was celebrating for him, and the sun was shining brightly.
Qingye Rin felt helpless and amused. Even though it was very noisy, she was very happy to hear him and looked at him tenderly.
Watanabe Toru vented his inner excitement a little and looked at her: "Seino-san."
"Ask." Qingye Rin immediately knew why he called her.
"Did you agree to me because of my honesty?" Watanabe Toru asked curiously.
"half."
"What about the other half?"
"You said you liked me many times."
"I like you, Kiyono-san."
"…I like you too, Watanabe-san."
Toru Watanabe couldn't help but stretch out his hands and embrace his dream, that unattainable dream, in his arms.
"I won't give you a chance to regret it." He smelled the fragrance of Kiyono Rin's hair.
"I won't give you a chance to regret it." Qingye Rin grabbed Watanabe Toru's clothes and rested her forehead on his chest.
"How could I regret this?" He felt the touch of her tight waist.
"As a girlfriend, I will be stricter with you."
“I couldn’t ask for more.”
"And can see through all your lies. You won't have any privacy at all."
"Welcome to supervision."
"We will have children in the future. If they lie, I might dislike them."
"Kiyono Rin only needs to love Watanabe Toru."
"Will you always be nice to me?"
"I don't know." Watanabe Toru said, "I'll do it for today and tomorrow first."
"Can you just promise to be nice to me tomorrow?"
"Um."
Kiyono Rin released her hands that were pulling on Watanabe Toru's clothes and put her arms around Watanabe Toru's waist. In this way, the two of them held each other tightly.
Watanabe Toru hugged her tightly.
The soft hair, the cute ears, the slender neck, the weak shoulders and back, the small rise and fall of the chest, and the graceful waist curve.
He wanted to use all five senses, use everything in this body, put all these feelings into the deepest part of his memory, and imprint them in his heart.
"By the way," Toru Watanabe suddenly remembered something, "Can we take a picture?"
"Photograph?"
"Yeah." Watanabe Toru took out his phone, "My lock screen wallpaper is me and Miki, and I want to set the main interface to me and you."
Qingye Rin looked at him coldly.
"…If you don't want to hear the truth, I can put it another way."
"This is the first time I hate the truth so much." Qingye Rin sighed.
With the vast autumn sky and endless Miscanthus as the background, the two of them took a photo together in sportswear.
"Let me see." Qingye Rin spread out her hands.
Watanabe Toru handed the phone to her. Kiyono Rin examined it carefully, then set it up with pen and paper, and finally sent the photos to her own phone.
After Watanabe Toru got his phone back, the two looked at each other and suddenly felt a little shy.
We have been together for such a long time and have become close friends, but I suddenly felt embarrassed just because I started dating officially.
"Um," Toru Watanabe looked at the clouds in the distance, "Can I hold you for a while longer?"
"Yeah." Qingye Rin stared at the nearby Miscanthus.
The two didn't look at each other, they just stretched out their hands and hugged each other.
Stroking Kiyono Rin's thin, slender back, Watanabe Toru let out a soft breath.
I am content and want nothing more.
She, Kiyono Rin, was his.
For Toru Watanabe, it was a miracle that could not be described in words.
It was not until the second group of tourists appeared in Sengokuhara that the two people in sportswear returned to the hotel side by side.
Miki Kujo opened her eyes and saw Toru Watanabe lying on the edge of the bed, staring at her with a smile on his face.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" She said that and closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Of course she wasn't scared. Instead, she became panicked when she opened her eyes and didn't see Watanabe Toru.
"Meiji, I never get tired of watching you sleep."
"From the tone of your voice," Kujo Miki opened her eyes, "Did you succeed?"
"I can even capture you, Miji, so it's easy for me to capture a mere Kiyono Rin." Watanabe Toru said proudly.
"Eye sockets..." Kujo Miki carefully looked at Watanabe Toru's face, "Red. You can't be so happy that you cry, so you must have cried to achieve success."
"Success is success, there's no need to cry for it. If we're talking about crying, Kiyono Rin cried too."
"You are so pretentious." Miki Kujo said with disdain.
She reached out her hand and gently stroked Watanabe Toru's face: "Now that you have her, will you forget me?"
"The only treasure I am not willing to give up is Miki." Watanabe Toru was determined.
Kujo Miki looked at him intently. After a while, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "What do you say to Rin that has the same meaning as this sentence?"
"I never told her that."
"Do you think I believe you? If you can't fool Rin, then you're going to fool me?"
"It's mainly to make you happy."
"Slippery mouth." Kujo Miki lifted the quilt, "Come in."
"Why are you coming in? It's time for breakfast." Toru Watanabe reached out and tried to pull her up.
"No." Kujo Miki turned her back and said, "You go ahead."
"Then I'll find a restaurant to eat at when you wake up, or I'll bring it to you after I finish eating."
"Um."
Toru Watanabe didn't go to have breakfast. He took off his clothes, got into bed, and hugged her from behind.
"What are you doing?" Miki Kujo opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Watanabe Toru said nothing, but just hugged her tightly.
Miki Kujo stared at him for a while, then finally closed her eyes and leaned comfortably in his arms.
"Your trick won't work on me," she said.
"Then I'm leaving."
…
"Why don't you leave?"
"I don't dare."
"Don't dare?"
"I can't bear to part with it. I really can't bear to part with it."
Miki Kujo turned around and put her hands on Toru Watanabe's waist.
The two of them were chest to chest, waist to waist, legs crossed, hugging each other tighter.
Each other's body temperature is transmitted and blended with each other.
"Let's be buried together like this." Miki Kujo felt as if she was soaking in the most comfortable hot spring in the world.
"Do you mean now or in the future?"
"What should I say now?"
"Sister Meiji, please allow me to leave for a while."
"do what?"
"Go and kill Kiyono-san, Koizumi Aona, and Mai-san," said Toru Watanabe.
Kujo Miki smiled and rubbed her face against Watanabe Toru's: "We are really a good match."
"Meiji, I love you the most." Watanabe Toru hugged her waist tightly.
"Are you saying this for my own happiness?" Miki Kujo opened her eyes and stared at Toru Watanabe.
Watanabe Toru thought for a moment and said, "I need a little help from Seino-san."
"a little help? You even spoke English. It seems you are in a good mood."
"Speaking English makes me feel good, but what about speaking Chinese?"
“It’s sad.”
"What about French?"
"Give up?"
"Spain……"
"Are you still asleep?"
"I can't sleep." Watanabe Toru blew into her ear, "Sister, shall we go have breakfast?"
Kujo Miki sighed and said, "Go away."
She kicked Watanabe Toru again: "Go and get my clothes."
"What are you going to wear today?" Watanabe Toru took his hand off her soft breasts and slipped off the bed.
The two changed their clothes and came to the restaurant, where Kiyono Rin and Ikki Aoi were already eating.
Kujo Miki sat down opposite Kiyono Rin, stretched out her fair and slender right hand, and said with a smile:
"My Watanabe, please take care of me in the future."
"Whose Watanabe?" Qingye Rin didn't shake hands with her, but looked at Watanabe Toru.
"Watanabe is of course the Watanabe of the Watanabe family." Toru Watanabe sat down next to Kujo Miki and opposite Ikki Aoi.
He glanced at Ikki Aoi and said, "Your smile is too exaggerated."
"Hahaha!" Ikki Aoi finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Sorry, sorry!" She wiped her tears and said, " I'm definitely not just watching the fun, I really envy the atmosphere between you three!"
Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki looked at her at the same time.
Ikki Aoi stopped laughing immediately. The two young ladies were much more intimidating than Watanabe Toru. Or, compared to the two young ladies, Watanabe Toru would not care about these things.
"By the way," she found a topic, "Do you like your eggs soft-boiled or hard-boiled? I prefer hard-boiled."
Watanabe Toru glanced at Kiyono Rin: "Half-rare."
"Where is Kiyono-san?" asked Aoi Ikki.
“Well done.”
"Ah, Kiyono-san and I are in the same group!" Ikki Aoi said happily.
"No," Qing Ye Lin looked at Kujo Miki, then looked at Watanabe Toru, and said, "The three of us are a group."
"...Huh?" Ikki Aoi felt like she was being isolated.
