Gu Xing seemed to be surprised by Karasawa Makoto's surprise confession.
She looked at his eyes and guessed that this must be beyond his expectation, but she made up her mind to launch an offensive at this unexpected place.
"Sato and Chiyo told you a lot about me, right?"
Gu Xing nodded, with an even more surprised look on his face.
"You know," Karasawa Makoto said, "That's what we discussed."
Gu Xing was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you would hide this matter to the end."
"They say you are resistant to emotional matters,"
Karasawa Makoto stared at Gu Xing, "I think my rash approach will only offend you. Now, I have almost no secrets from you."
Gu Xing shook his head, "For example, that cellar."
"For me," Karasawa Makoto smiled, "it's also a secret - it's very dangerous, don't think about it all day long."
This time it was Gu Xing's turn to lower his head, "Do you think I won't resist now?"
"to be honest,"
Karasawa Makoto and Gu Xing walked side by side, "When it comes to relationships, I can be considered a difficult type. So when I first fell in love with you, I instinctively thought it was my illusion. For this reason, I gave myself a full year to cool off.”
Gu Xing continued to lower his head, "Didn't Rimi tell you that I might turn into a monster at any time?"
"So," Karasawa Makoto suddenly came closer to him and looked directly into his eyes, "I must cherish the time you are still awake."
After hearing this, Gu Xing's body shook imperceptibly.
The fragrance of Karasawa Makoto's body spread toward Gu Xing like a vine that grew wantonly, wrapping around him tightly in an instant.
Gu Xing took a step back as if frightened. He was stunned for a while and said with a slight loss of grace: "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
After saying that, he bowed to Karasawa Makoto, turned around and left in a hurry.
His figure moved farther and farther in the snow, and soon turned into a black dot like an ant.
Makoto Karasawa stood quietly in the wind and snow, smiling and beautiful.
…
In the days that followed, Satomi and Chiyo were able to see how lively they were——
Karasawa Makoto began to visit Chiyo's Kaidan Coffee Bookstore frequently.
At first, she just acted as an ordinary guest, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and hid in an inconspicuous corner looking for a book she liked to read.
When she arrived at the bookstore, of course she kept it secret from Gu Xing. Chiyo quietly led her into the door and walked inside like a thief.
As she walked with her head bent, her heart was pounding. She was afraid of being discovered by Gu Xing, and also afraid of being discovered by the customers in the bookstore. She felt quite excited about secretly having a private meeting with her lover, despite the huge risk of her love affair being exposed and being cast aside by movie fans. .
Putting the hot coffee on the table, Karasawa Makoto peered through the gap between the bookshelf and the books at Gu Xing, who was constantly making various drinks, and looked at the girls who came to the coffee bookstore because of Gu Xing.
Chiyo brought her a plate of snacks.
She whispered: "You should treat me as an ordinary guest, so as not to be discovered."
Chiyo smiled and said: "The guests here are all here for Gu Xingjun, who would stare at you specially - you cover yourself up so tightly."
Karasawa Makoto looked around, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. She breathed a sigh of relief and then snorted, "When I succeed, I will never let Gu Xingjun continue to betray his lust."
Chiyo pretended to put away the snacks and coffee, "Are you repaying kindness with enmity? My bookstore is no longer in business?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Karasawa Makoto blinked, "In the future, I will come to the bookstore more often to do autograph signings and do activities. Isn't it much better than Gu Xingjun making coffee?"
Chiyo put the snacks and coffee back again, "Haha, that's true."
Karasawa Makoto stayed in the corner of the bookstore like this all morning, drinking coffee, eating snacks, and reading. When he was tired, he raised his head to look at Gu Xing through the gap, which was pleasing to the eye.
When it was almost noon, Gu Xingjun called Qiandai over to take the order for him.
Makoto Karasawa guessed that he had been busy for so long and it was time to go to the bathroom, so he waited there in advance. When he saw no one was around, he took off his mask and pretended to put on makeup in front of the mirror outside the bathroom.
As soon as Gu Xing walked into the aisle leading to the bathroom, he recognized Karasawa Makoto at a glance.
He stood there stunned for a long time, then hesitantly walked over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Makoto Karasawa put her head against the mirror, put a final touch on her lips, then put away the lipstick, put it in her bag, turned around and looked at Gu Xing, and said with a smile: "I heard that this bookstore is very popular with young girls recently. Welcome, I’m here specifically to see you.”
Gu Xing hummed speechlessly, and suddenly looked at Karasawa Makoto's hand, "Did you come in wearing a mask?"
Karasawa Makoto nodded.
Gu Xing said in confusion: "If you are wearing a mask, why do you need to wear lipstick?"
Karasawa Makoto opened his mouth, stared at Gu Xing for a long time, and then said: "I'm willing - you observe me quite carefully."
"No,"
Gu Xing looked around and subconsciously stood in front of Karasawa Makoto, "You'd better put on your mask quickly. If customers see it, my bookstore won't be able to bear it..."
Karasawa Makoto raised his head, stared at him, and whispered, "I've been here all morning."
"Where's Satomi?"
Gu Xing picked up the phone and dialed Rimi's number, "I'll ask her to take you to the second floor first."
Karasawa Makoto: "..."
