Walking through the transparently lit fashion clothing store, Tianhai Qimingyue already noticed that several passers-by were looking at her.

"Don't you feel ashamed?"

"I, Raku Sakakihara, am thick-skinned."

"Shameless." Tianhai Qimingyue pondered for a long time and finally gave him such an evaluation.

"Thank you for the compliment."

On a snowy night, I walked down the street holding a girl in a princess hug.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to attract attention.

But there are not many strange things in the world now?

Most of the passers-by on the street just cast curious glances, thinking that they were a very loving couple, nothing more.

"I see the concern for Qi Mingyue in the eyes of many people. They are thinking that I am holding you and you turn your face to me. Are you sick?"

Tianhai Qimingyue doesn’t want to say a word anymore.

After walking two streets, at the intersection of the commercial street, there were more people from here, and Raku Sakakihara took the initiative to put Tenkai Nanamigetsu down.

"Angry?"

Tianhai Qimingyue ignored him and sat directly on the bench under the zelkova tree without any intention of talking to him.

Don't even look at him.

Raku Sakakihara talked to her many times in a row, but she ignored her and just held her potato chips without saying a word.

"If you don't say anything, then I'm leaving." Sakakibara reached out and shook her eyes.

Close your eyes and don’t want to look at the seven bright moons in the sky.

"I'm leaving."

Still no response.

"I'm really leaving."

With her eyes closed, Nanami Nanami cannot see the picture, but she can clearly hear what Raku Sakakibara said from a distance.

"I really really left."

Five minutes.

For five minutes, there were only a few small snowflakes on the street, a chilling wind, and the crowd's noisy exchanges that had nothing to do with themselves.

Is he really leaving?

Tianhai Qimingyue was very patient and closed her eyes for another two minutes.

"I'm really really leaving. I just wanted to hug you. There's no need to be so angry, right?"

"Seven Bright Moons."

"Hi, Qimingyue?"

This time it took longer, a full fifteen minutes.

The cold wind in the winter night makes people's shoulders tremble, and the sound of pedestrians stamping their feet lightly can be heard in my ears.

That scumbag is not really gone, is he?

Tianhai Qimingyue opened her eyes, and what she immediately welcomed was a cup of warm milk tea.

Of course, there is also his slight smile.

"I went to buy milk tea just now, so I wasn't here."

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at his milk tea: "Then why didn't you speak just now?"

"I'm waiting for you to forgive me," Sakakihara handed the milk tea in his right hand to her again, "Take it."

Tianhai Qimingyue looked at his smile, the neon lights of the commercial street at night and the figures of passers-by entangled in her eyes, twinkling slightly.

"Still angry? Can this be considered an apology?"

"Forget it."

Tianhai Qimingyue breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take the thing in his hand.

Soon the warmth of the milk tea spreads along the cup wall to your hands.

This more or less gives the body that has been eroded by the cold wind a hint of warmth wandering behind.

"I bought the matcha flavor. I know you like less sugar, so I asked the clerk to put in less sugar." Raku Sakakihara sat next to her.

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him.

After Raku Sakakihara sat down, holding milk tea in his hand, he looked up at the night sky, looking up at Tokyo's bustling skyscrapers with their lights on.

"Qi Mingyue, actually I can't stand other people's concern for me. As long as others care about me, I will try my best to respond to their kindness to me."

"Then what?"

"Then I discovered that there was actually more than one person caring about me, which made me very confused."

"Even if you say that, I don't have any sympathy for you." Tianhai Qimingyue sipped her milk tea. A sip of hot tea in winter soon made her body feel warm.

"I understand, because neither you nor Jiuliuli are wrong, so I don't want to say in front of you how good so and so is to me."

"You want me to take the initiative to let go of your dissatisfaction with your sister?"

"No," Raku Sakakibara withdrew his gaze from the night and turned to Tianhai Qimingyue and said, "I just want to say that I am quite happy staying with you."

"Very happy?"

"Absolutely happy! Absolutely happy!"

"I didn't mean to question you."

"Well," Raku Sakakihara asked again, "Can I hug you?"

This sentence made Tianhai Qimingyue stop drinking milk tea.

For her, these words were not only what he said, but also what the person she had always wanted to chase said to her.

"No."

"Why?"

"There is no reason. I don't want to compromise with you now."

"Then you can compromise with me on what you just said."

"That was without my sister," Tianhai Qimingyue looked at him and said, "Don't expect me to be more generous. I am a woman and I am just very selfish."

Qi Mingyue actually doesn’t mean that she won’t be hugged at all.

It's just that the meaning of her initiative and her own initiative are completely different.

In other words, she must take the initiative, and then I can hug her.

But for some reason, Sakakihara Raku couldn't let go of his desire to hug her when he saw her thin back sitting on the bench.

So, while he was drinking milk tea with her, Sakakibara approached her little by little, then stretched out his hand from behind, and stopped her shoulder without her noticing.

"Are you coming?" Tianhai Qimingyue fixed his movements with a look.

"Well, don't be angry this time, okay?"

Tianhai Qimingyue sighed helplessly and asked: "Why do you want to hug me?"

"Why? How do you describe this feeling? Well, I think you are very cute, so I want to hug you. Of course, I can't bear to see you being alone all the time. I think you will be very comfortable if I hug you occasionally."

"You are becoming more and more like a scumbag."

"Oh, this, I——"

Sakakibara suddenly noticed that the girl was leaning on his shoulder.

He could even imagine the scene he was facing at this moment.

In a dark corner at the entrance of the commercial street, on a bench under a zelkova tree, two people were sitting together in winter, holding milk tea in hand. The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder, and they were in a daze together.

"Don't you want to hug her?" Sakakihara asked her.

"This is the highest limit for treating a scumbag."

"But I really want to hug you."

"You have to understand—" Tianhai Qimingyue was immediately hugged into his arms.

She looked up at him in her arms.

At this moment, our eyes met.

Sakakihara stared at her pretty face for a while, then chose her light pink lips and slowly moved closer.

They kissed each other directly.

They both closed their eyes at the same time.
