Ge Li was sitting at the table in her bedroom, drawing circles unconsciously with her pen.
She was actually very tired, but she didn't want to go to sleep.
As soon as you close your eyes, things that you don't expect to recall will come to mind one after another.
His eyes, nose, lips...
Also, his hands.
——My mind is filled with what he looks like.
As for appearance, he is indeed handsome and kind-hearted.
He's the kind of boy who doesn't make anyone think he's dangerous when he smiles.
If he hadn't been so close to Chris that he was almost glued to her, maybe he would be much more popular than he is now.
But from this point of view, those girls cannot be said to be unwise.
Only I... knew all of this and still refused to give up, so I stumbled in confusedly.
At that time, did I ever envy the way Chris got along with him?
I can’t remember clearly.
But she thought, maybe there is.
If it weren't for Chris, I might not have paid so much attention to his every move in the beginning.
In the end, the more you know, the deeper you get.
So she fell in love with an illusion without hesitation.
She fell in love with his elusive soul and...the way he liked Chris without any reservation.
She hopes to leave a mark on his soul so that he can never forget her. Even if he will return to Chris in the end, it doesn't matter.
But things have changed.
He has changed, and so has he.
If we still maintain the ordinary relationship between classmates as before, wouldn't it be much better than now?
Ge Li sighed softly, whether it was regret or unwillingness.
"Are you still up so late?"
Suddenly another person's voice sounded in the room.
Ge Li was stunned and turned around.
Under the moonlight, Wayne stood by the window in such a graceful manner, without even putting on his cloak.
"you--"
Ge Li's expression changed several times.
But then, her voice finally became cold. "Didn't you go out to play in the city with Chris?"
There was no emotion in his tone.
...You also know this?
Wayne very much suspected that she had arranged spies around him or Chris.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find the suspicious person. He shook his head and walked forward, but he didn't hold her in his arms as soon as he met her like before.
"I'm... very unhappy lately."
He looked at Geli's face tenderly. "Sorry, I never have the chance to see you during the day."
I don’t know since when, Ge Li’s brows became much more melancholy.
Her self-confidence, her pride, must have been exhausted in the struggle with herself.
Otherwise, after getting hurt that day, I wouldn't have had to hide and cry alone.
I originally thought... I could comfort her.
"Heh." Geli sneered as if he felt it was ironic, "Isn't this obvious?"
He couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
Faintly smelling the smell of alcohol, Ge Li frowned.
"Have you been drinking?" she asked.
Wayne glanced at her.
"Yeah, I drank a lot."
After this answer, the two people fell silent.
Both sides knew that one layer of window paper had been punctured.
"Can you give me another bottle of the wine I drank at your place last time?" After a long silence, Wayne asked.
It was for this reason that he came here specifically.
Chrissy was already fast asleep, so at least tonight there was no need to worry about being discovered by her.
Even if it was just to prevent such uncontrollable things from happening again in the future, he had to confirm this matter.
Ge Li smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes at all.
"Sorry, I've finished drinking."
She no longer looked at Wayne's expression, and went back to pretending to write and draw a bunch of things.
But the documents that were originally laid out in order and in clear order are now impossible to sort out.
——She couldn't stand it anymore.
Wayne suddenly grabbed her right hand, forcibly pulled another piece of white paper and spread it on the table, and began to hold her and write together.
【Vien will be with Song Li. 】
...Stop joking!
Due to Ge Li's struggle, the handwriting became crooked and ugly as it was pulled back and forth.
Wayne pursed his lips slightly, but his expression did not change at all.
He continued writing.
【Wayne will be very happy as soon as he sees Song Li. 】
[Wein and Songli have done many happy things. 】
[Ween will never give up even if he is hated by Songli. 】
【……】
He held Ge Li's hand and wrote carefully, stroke by stroke.
He was so serious that it even seemed like he believed every word in it.
Geli, who was still resisting strongly at the beginning, gradually became weak with each word, feebly witnessing the formation of each sentence he wrote...
Until I burst into tears.
she cried.
[Because Wayne likes singing. 】
Ge Li closed her eyes in pain, unwilling to look any further.
【like you】
【like you】
【……】
Even if I close my eyes, the familiar handwriting is deeply engraved on the paper.
It was as if he had carved it into my heart with a sharp carving knife, and there was blood behind every stroke.
After a long time, he finally stopped.
"To me, every word on this is truth."
he said moodily.
"You may not believe it, or you may doubt it, but even so... I must say it."
Geli slowly opened his tearful eyes, and what came into view was the figure with the words "I like you" written all over it.
The entire white paper has been filled with love.
"I heard people say that to like someone is to give them the right to hurt themselves."
When he said this, Wayne's eyes became full of sorrow.
"Then, I now also give you the right to hurt me."
"——Show this to Chris."
Making such a decision is extremely difficult.
All night long, he was thinking about how to deal with the relationship between the three of them.
Blindfolded, trying to pretend not to see.
But the fact that the problem did not break out for a while does not mean that it has been solved. The same problem will come back sooner or later.
The hands and feet that Ge Li moved in the drink were the "grey rhinoceros" that came to the door unexpectedly, had always been around but was deliberately ignored by him.
I have become accustomed to her tolerance, so I turn a blind eye to the possible risk of an explosion in her.
No one can do everything well all the time, just as no one can keep a secret forever.
It might be better for them to break all the illusions at this time than one day in the future when Chris has to know all this because of Geli's intolerance.
The secret is out, that's fine.
If discovered...
Then it will be discovered.
