The breeze caressing her cheek raised the slightly spread bangs on the woman's forehead. Sato Miwako, who asked subconsciously, bit her lips lightly after she realized what she was doing. Her eyes looked directly at the man who stood still and looked back sideways. No attempt at dodge.
Uehara Katsuki, who didn't expect her to ask such a question, had a hint of surprise on his eyebrows. Then, as if he heard some undetermined fact, the tip of his tongue swept across his slightly dry lips, and he grinned unconsciously: "I... Are you dreaming? Or are your daily prayers to gods and Buddhas effective?"
"If you don't want to answer, forget it." Miwako, who mustered up the energy in her heart, lowered her eyelids slightly, and her tone sounded nonchalant.
"Of course I don't want to answer."
Before the woman could react, Uehara Katsumi's body turned back as soon as he finished his calm words, approaching her step by step, with a smirk on his eyebrows: "As for your question, I think responding with actions is far more reliable than words.”
The close distance allowed Sato Miwako, who didn't even take a step back, to easily hear the man's breathing after his words. The undisguised excitement and joy on his handsome face made her blink subconsciously and her legs moved. Time seems to have turned into a stone pillar and is firmly fixed in place——
There was no retreat, no rejection, just unexplained silence.
The scorching sun at noon made Sato Miwako's cheeks slightly red, and even a cool breeze could not extinguish the flames raging in her heart.
What is he going to do?
What do I do next?
Two doubts intertwined in Miwako's mind, and in her confusion, Uehara Katsumi had completely broken through the ambiguous distance in the past. After bending down slightly, the tips of their noses were almost touching, which made the heartbeat in the woman's chest suddenly accelerate. , she could even feel the man's heat hitting her face along with his breathing.
The consequence of blurting out the question in a flash was that Miwako, who had only heard about love problems in TV dramas and in the words of her best friends, completely forgot what to do next.
Fortunately, the accumulation and experience that time has brought to her are enough for her to maintain her apparent stability.
"Ms. Sato Miwako, this is the first time we meet. My name is Uehara Katsumi."
"Um?"
"Excuse me, do you have a boyfriend?"
"..."
Seeing the man in front of her ask the same question she asked when they first met again after a year, Sato Miwako, who was originally nervous, suddenly relaxed, her eyebrows arched, and she chuckled: "No."
"Then I can chase you."
"Really? How are you going to chase me?" Miwako Sato tilted her head slightly and joked with a smile on her lips: "I'm not that easy to chase."
"I like you, Miwako."
"I know."
Uehara Katsuki grinned, the smile on his face was extremely bright, and his right hand naturally reached out to her, holding the woman's hand without any resistance.
The heat and sweat between her palms were enough to show how nervous she was.
As their fingers intertwined, the touch of the man's rough skin made Sato Miwako take a long breath, and she felt more and more that the sun was a little hot today.
"It seems that today's trip was not in vain." Katsuki Uehara, who was holding the woman's hand tightly, could not have noticed her appearance. He smiled and raised their palms that were held together, feeling satisfied.
Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked him such a question, he felt that he would be punished by God if he didn't take this opportunity to confirm his boyfriend's identity.
After twitching her palms twice symbolically, Miwako Sato also adjusted her mentality after realizing that her efforts were in vain. She closed and opened her eyes and muttered: "How can anyone hold hands without even confirming the relationship."
"Then, are you willing to be my girlfriend, Miwako."
"Um."
Although she was still shy, Miwako Sato, who had already analyzed her best friend's words, decided to face her heart.
There is no shame in falling in love——
Well, the main reason is that Uehara Katsumi's past resume is a bit too brilliant, and she is not sure whether she can be the wife who will accompany this man to the end of his life.
This is also the reason why she has been deliberately avoiding this matter before.
The whole world is following the drama of the prodigal son returning home without repaying the money. Every woman will think that she will be the destined daughter who has tied the heart of the prodigal son.
Miwako Sato is no exception.
Even though she was hesitant before, now she wants to give it a try.
After experiencing so much in just one year, this man named Uehara Katsumi has left an indelible impression on her heart - both good and bad.
The good ones are fascinating, the bad ones are jaw-dropping.
Thinking of this, Sato Miwako, who was staring at the man, couldn't help but take a long breath, and smiled as if she had put down some burden: "You know, before I met you, I really didn't plan to fall in love, but in the end I found out You are really unreasonable."
"Is it because of Matsuda Jinping?" Katsuki Uehara raised his eyebrows.
"It's not just him."
Sato Miwako, who opened her heart, pursed her lips. Thinking of the curse-like history, she subconsciously clenched the man's hand: "My father, my teacher, my seniors, and even my colleagues. From childhood to When I grew up, any man who appeared around me, no matter what relationship he had with me, would not end well.
“I’m like an unfortunate person who keeps taking the lives of people around me.
"Just like Matsuda-kun you mentioned, he was transferred to the third department and only worked for seven days before he was killed by a bomb on the Ferris wheel; Shiratori was even bombed into the hospital every now and then, so frequently that he was almost Every major Mihua hospital has issued a VIP card."
When she said this, Miwako Sato's hand became a little stronger, and she could even hold Katsumi Uehara and feel a little pain: "The most important thing is, the same goes for you.
"The moment you were swallowed up by a bomb under the undersea tunnel, my heart was filled with despair. I even asked the Megure Police Department if I was an ominous person in myths and legends."
"Don't be superstitious, I'm still alive and kicking."
Uehara Katsuki, who allowed the woman to squeeze him until it hurt, and seemed to be afraid that he would walk away, raised the corners of his mouth: "To be honest, I thought we would have a passionate and passionate kiss immediately after we confirmed our relationship."
The nonchalant tone instantly diluted the uneasiness and sadness that the woman showed after she opened her heart. Hearing this, Miwako Sato's eyebrows arched and she smiled brightly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Katsumi. You've just become mine now." We're just my boyfriend, do you want to force me?"
“It’s not impossible to play once in a while.”
Uehara Katsumi, who had a smile on his lips, shook the hands they held together: "But, I think you should be able to resist kissing me first."
In a few words, Sato Miwako, who was already attracted, laughed dumbly and said: "Impossible. Are you so confident?"
As if he thought of something, a bad smile suddenly appeared on Uehara Katsuki's face. He took his girlfriend's hand and whispered softly in her ear, which caused the latter to "glare" in anger -
"I'm waiting for your failure, Kenji. We can't go back on the promise we made while holding hands."
