Seeing Rumi slowly swallowing the porridge, Hirukawa asked with concern: "How is it? If it's not sweet enough, I'll add more sugar."
"Hmm..." Rumi shook her head and waved her hand for Hiruchuan to come closer to her. Hiruchuan thought she was going to say something quietly so he put his ear towards her...
The warm touch spread from his cheeks, making Hiruchuan blush all of a sudden. His eyes moved rapidly, and he didn't understand the situation for a while.
Rumi, who secretly kissed Hirukawa's cheek, smiled playfully and replied teasingly: "It's very sweet!"
"Well... that's good... that's good..." Hiruchuan turned around and reached out to cover the cheek that was kissed just now. His whole face was as red as a fever...
"Pfft-" Looking at Hiruchuan's shy look, Rumi couldn't help but laugh.
"It turns out that seniors can be shy too~haha!"
"You guy..." Zichuan muttered.
"Okay, I'm not full yet, senior!" Rumi rubbed her hungry belly and reminded Hiruchuan.
"There's really nothing I can do about you..." Hirukawa took a deep breath, turned around, picked up the spoon again, scooped up the porridge, blew it to cool down, and handed it to Rumi's mouth.
"Ah——" Rumi opened her mouth and swallowed all the warmth from Hiruchawa.
"Huh!" Shota, the voyeur, was wearing a black robe and peeping outside again. This time he didn't forget to take a few photos. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an evil smile: "Hahaha, I want to see you like this. How long can the days last, huh!!"
He snorted coldly, turned around and waved his black robe, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness.
…
"Hey, senior, let's go to the newspaper office and have a look?" After breakfast, Rumei felt that staying at home all the time was not an option and wanted to report back to the newspaper office.
"Is it okay?" Hiruchuan, who was washing dishes, asked worriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, it's just a piece of tape!" Rumi nodded: "I'm not that fragile!"
Zhichuan smiled and said: "Haha, who kept asking me to stay with you to fall asleep yesterday?"
"Senior!!" Rumi muttered, snorting dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, since we have to go," Hiruchuan put away the dishes and went back to the bedroom to look at Rumi, who was still lying on the bed: "Why don't you get up soon?"
"Hmph!" Rumi folded her hands and turned away, as if "I don't want to care about you." Hirukawa frowned slightly, then stretched out his hand to pull the quilt away.
"Huh? Senior, what are you going to do?" Before Rumi could react, Hirukawa bent down and put his left hand through her back, put his fingers under her left armpit, put his right hand on the crook of her leg, and gently He picked her up with force.
"Getting you up, of course."
"Well..." After being hugged by Hiruchuan and feeling the masculine scent from his body, Rumei blushed: "I... I will get up by myself..."
"Oh?" Zhichuan smiled slightly: "Then I will let you go."
"No... don't..." Rumi snuggled into Hiruchuan's arms, with a happy smile on her face: "This is... pretty good..."
"You..." Hirukawa smiled helplessly as he looked at Rumei who was as clingy as a kitten in his arms.
"Let's go and wash up first." Zhichuan carried her to the sink and put her down carefully. Rumei looked at herself in the mirror. Emma, she could be said to be unkempt!
Although Hiruchuan thought it was nothing, she thought the problem was huge and hurriedly started to take care of herself again. She combed her hair which was so messed up that she almost had to change her hairstyle. Then she washed her face carefully and cleaned up her hair which was already a little dark. My face was clean and white again.
Looking at Rumi who was busy at the sink, Hiruchuan shook his head helplessly. Unknowingly, this girl... had already taken up residence in his heart...
but……
Thinking of the scenes he had seen before, Hiruchuan couldn't help but feel very sad. If that were to happen in the future... wouldn't Rumi have to be alone...
"Hey, hey, senior!!" Rumi reached out and shook him, bringing Hiruchuan back to reality: "I'm ready, let's go!!"
"Oh!" Hirukawa came back to his senses and saw that Rumi had returned to her usual appearance, wearing glasses and wearing short hair, and smiled warmly at him.
"Then let's go."
"Okay!" Rumi stretched out her arm and hooked Hirukawa's arm, holding him and going out.
"Ah?" Zichuan was a little confused by her move.
"What?" Rumi smiled playfully at him: "Is there anything wrong?"
"This... not really..." Zichuan scratched his head: "But I always feel like something is wrong..."
"It's an illusion! Let's go, senior!" The two of them just walked out of the door holding hands, announcing their close relationship to the world.
"Editor-in-Chief, we're back!" Rumi pulled Hiruchuan and rushed into the newspaper office excitedly.
"I heard what the police officer said, just come back." The editor-in-chief calmly held the newspaper and sipped tea as usual, which made Rumei very dissatisfied: "At least you can welcome us!"
"Oh?" The editor-in-chief looked at the two people holding hands and couldn't help but smile knowingly: "You already have boyfriends, why are you so willful?"
"Ah..." Rumi then noticed that she was still holding hands with Hiruchuan. She quickly lowered her head shyly and tried to retract her arm. Unexpectedly, Hiruchuan grabbed her and said, "What? We've been holding hands all the way. Now you know how shy you are?"
"Well..." Rumi lowered her head and covered her red face with her other hand, looking embarrassed.
"Humph..." Hiruchuan smiled proudly and let go of Rumi, but she playfully stepped on Hiruchuan's foot and made a face at him: "Little, little, little!" The shyness just now was completely gone.
Looking at the two people flirting, the editor-in-chief, a veteran, just smiled and didn't say much.
"Ah! It's Xiaoxing!" Seeing that the kitten given to her by her senior was lying obediently on her desk, Rumi quickly returned to her seat and reached out to gently stroke its soft hair.
"Haha, your little kitten is giving Shinya a headache, and you're even peeing on his head!" the editor laughed.
"Huh?" Hearing the editor mentioning Shinya, Rumi finally realized what he was doing. He looked at Shinya's position and saw that Shinya, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly on his stomach, was gone. She felt very strange and asked, "Editor-in-chief, where is Shinya?"
"He, haha." The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "He is almost overloaded with the two of you who have been absent from work these days, so I will let him go back to rest, otherwise he will die of exhaustion here sooner or later."
"Ah...so why don't you recruit more people!"
Faced with Liu Mei's questioning, the editor-in-chief remained very calm, put down the newspaper and took a sip of tea.
"I don't need any traffic to make a lot of money. Starting a newspaper is just a hobby."
"Here we go again..." The editor-in-chief had been saying this to herself before, and she had always felt strange. Is there really such a person? He does not pursue fame and fortune, but just pursues his interests. He runs a small newspaper and pays his employees every month regardless of sales. He has never been short of funds...
"Then do we need to continue running the news today?"
Looking at Rumei's expectant eyes, the editor-in-chief smiled crookedly and reached out to hand the satchel returned by the police yesterday to Rumei: "What do you think?"
"Ah——!" Liumei was disappointed, but the editor-in-chief smiled and urged them to go to work: "If you don't go, be careful, your salary will be halved this month! Hahaha!"
"What!" Rumi curled her lips in dissatisfaction and stepped on the bag helplessly.
"Then let's say goodbye first." Hiruchuan stepped forward and took Rumi's hand, leading her away from the newspaper office.
Seeing Hirukawa-senpai take the initiative to hold hands, Rumi looked at Hirukawa's back and couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face.
"It's really good." Seeing that the Dark Shadow Mage helped restore part of his energy and allowed Alfulis to completely complete it, Dark Zaki couldn't help but feel proud.
"Hmph, Lord Dark Zaki, don't forget the contract between us." Seeing Dark Zaki being proud, the Dark Shadow Mage reminded him.
"That's nature." Dark Zhaji moved his neck and took out a strange crystal ball. This crystal ball was originally colorless and transparent, but once it was used by others, it would constantly change colors.
Dark Zaki handed the crystal ball to the Dark Shadow Mage: "This is of no use to me anymore, take it."
"Haha, thank you very much." The Dark Shadow Mage reached out to take the crystal ball, put the crystal ball emitting strange light into his purple robe, and let out a scary laugh with Dark Zaki: "Happy cooperation, ha Ha ha!!"
"Senior?" Seeing that Hirukawa was in a daze again, Rumei tugged his hand hard. He came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"No," Rumi shook her head and looked at Hiruchuan worriedly: "Senior, you seem to have something on your mind. This is the 13th time you have been in a daze today."
"Haha..." Zichuan smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.
"Are you worried that Shota will appear again?" Thinking of Shota Date who had completely changed, Rumi was still a little scared. She never thought that her classmate would become like this... crazy like a demon...
"No..." Hiruchuan shook his head slightly in denial, held Rumi's hand tightly, and turned his head to look at the sparkling lake.
The lake is crystal clear, and you can occasionally see some people fishing next to it. Upward from the lake is the urban area, where the streets are complicated, there are many shops, and there is a lot of traffic. People are living in their own way.
Recalling that when I was Dark Mephisto, I destroyed such a peaceful scene countless times... But now, I have to bear the completely opposite fate...
Thinking of his own future that he saw in the cracks in time and space, he couldn't help but sigh again...
Maybe...this is my destiny...
"Can't you tell me?" In a daze, he heard Rumei say this. When he reacted, Rumei had already broken free from his hand and left...
He looked around, but there was no trace of Rumei. He was very upset, but there was nothing he could do.
"Maybe... it would be a good thing for her to separate from me early..." He said to himself.
Looking up at the blue sky, my sunshine was blocked by white clouds...
He let out a long breath: "How long is the road to atonement like this..."
He found a flower bed and sat on the edge, lowering his head and falling into confusion again.
Date Shota is the same as his former self, or he is an empty shell now. He must have been targeted by Dark Zaki when he was devoured by Garubelus' fireball...
If I could have been faster... maybe none of this would have happened...
"well!"
Just when he was dejected, a cone was handed to him. Hirukawa looked up and saw Rumi coming back with two cones. Seeing him coming back, he still smiled from the bottom of his heart...
Why...should I laugh...she should stay as far away from him as possible...
"Senior, if you don't hold it, your makeup will be done!" Rumi smiled slightly, and looking at her smile, Hirukawa unconsciously reached out to take the cone.
"I thought you..."
"What?" Rumi sat down next to Hiruchuan, tasting the cone in her hand: "Did you think I had left?"
Rumi smirked: "No way, senior, I've only been away for a short while and you miss me?"
"Uh...cough..." Zichuan coughed twice awkwardly and tasted the cone. It was ice cold. Although autumn has already entered, the hot weather has not completely subsided. This cone really makes people feel... Very pleasant.
"Thank you..." Zichuan thanked him in a low voice.
"If you want to say thank you," Rumi looked at Hiruchuan, stretched out her finger to take a little cream from the cone, and poked Hiruchuan's face playfully: "Then tell me what's on your mind, senior!"
"Well..." Feeling the coldness on his face, Hirukawa turned to look at Rumi, whose eyes were full of worry. He wanted to speak but stopped himself.
"Stupid Tape, no matter what happens, I will face it with my seniors!"
"Rumei..."
Rumi gritted her teeth, clenched her little hands nervously, and said tremblingly: "I...I like Hirukawa-senpai!"
Now that everyone has spoken, there is no possibility of stopping: "So, I hope I can help senior share some things, and I don't want to see senior bear it alone again!"
"Rumei..." Hiruchuan reached out and took Rumei into his arms. Hearing Rumei's sincere confession, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes unconsciously. Feeling the fragrant breath coming from Rumei's body, he understood, yes...he too I have been running away... I obviously fell in love with this girl at some point...
Thinking of this, he no longer had any worries and told everything. Rumi snuggled into his arms obediently and listened quietly to him pouring out all the tangles in his heart...
At this moment, the clouds that originally blocked the sun quietly moved away, and the warm sunshine once again illuminated the Zichuan River...
"The lake has become clear, not bad." Looking at the photos taken by the two, the editor nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the two holding hands and smiling at each other, he smiled happily and joked: "Okay, thank you for your hard work today. , don’t forget to invite me to have a drink when you’re getting married!”
"Marriage..." Rumi lowered her head in embarrassment: "It can't be that fast..."
"Haha, isn't this a matter of time?"
"Then let's say goodbye first." Under the setting sun, the two of them walked arm in arm on the way home. The golden afterglow shone on the two of them, drawing long shadows behind them, spreading on the street, far away. The end is as far as the eye can see.
"Thank you, Rumi..." Hiruchuan thanked Rumi. From the day he met her, she really helped him a lot...
"Do you only want to say thank you?" Rumi looked at Hiruchuan, expecting him to say those words.
"Well..." Hiruchuan stopped, and the two turned to look at each other, looking into Rumi's clear eyes. Under the setting sun, he slowly said: "And... I like you, Rumi!"
"Yeah!" After finally hearing these words, Rumi nodded vigorously happily.
"I'm not very good at talking, but from now on, I hope you can always stay with me, okay?" Listening to Hiruchuan's clumsy confession, Rumei smiled sweetly and nodded gently in agreement.
Hiruchuan slowly lowered his head, and Rumi closed her eyes, feeling the warmth coming from her forehead. Under the setting sun, the two hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies. A group of birds flew over the sky and flew towards the setting sun. , the setting sun seems to be unable to eat this dog food, slowly disappearing under the horizon...
