"Why don't you ask for me? They are annoying me to death all day long," Qingzao Yinye said with her fingers. "They kept saying, 'Ah~ Ye-chan is so good to have a boyfriend', 'It's so good to have a childhood sweetheart.

', 'When is my turn?', and other such topics."

"Okay, but I don't know if it can be successful or not."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Didn't Sakakibara just say that he wanted to fall in love?" Ohki Nishijima interjected to the two of them.

"That means it's very possible?" Kiyosawa Otoye asked with a blink.

"Not necessarily. Maybe Sakakibara has very high standards. After all, he himself is not bad."

......

After running through the streets and finishing the last five kilometers of the journey, as more and more shops and neon lights appeared around him, he realized that he was in the wrong place and actually ended up in Ginza.

Sakakibara stood next to a telephone pole and a vending machine, bent over, propped up his knees, and stopped.

"Happy!"

Cheer yourself up, then put one foot on the ground, lift the other foot forward and place it on the tree in front of you, press your upper body and start doing leg stretching.

After completing a set of movements, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a few coins from his wallet, and bought a bottle of room-temperature mineral water from the vending machine.

As evening approaches, the remaining heat of the sun scorches the dark clouds, and the surging sea of ​​clouds is full of melancholy orange-red and dark gold, intertwining together to form a dreamy sky like an oil painting.

Under the setting sun, Raku Sakakihara leaned against a telephone pole and looked at the endless flow of pedestrians in front of him. He listened to the urban noise coming from the bustling urban area and enjoyed his own tranquility.

Commodity stores, gift shops, jewelry stores, clothing stores, and huge fashion advertisements above his head were all reflected in his eyes. No one noticed him. He was just a bystander silently watching the operation of the commercial center.

The solitude of being presentable yet independent from the bustling city made him feel inexplicably relaxed.

[The third world is dazzling, as vibrant as spring. There are electric lights, silver spoons, cheers, laughter, and sparkling champagne.]

Sanshiro, the protagonist of Natsume Soseki's "Sanshiro", a country boy, sees Tokyo in this way.

In a sense, I think I have something in common with him.

They are all country boys.

He rested for a while, got up and left.

Ginza is six kilometers away from Shirogane Takanawa, so Sakakibara chose to jog back for more than half an hour.

Arriving at Don Quixote Supermarket, where he often buys groceries, Raku Sakakibara was surprised to find a large bag of potato chips coming out.

——It’s really a big bag of potato chips. It’s so big that you can only see clearly the skirt under the potato chips and the slender legs wearing knee-high socks.

The ladies who were going to buy groceries all around saw the man holding potato chips behind him and smiled at him.

Sakakibara looked at it curiously, wanting to see who was so weird that he would buy so many potato chips at once, but the flaxen hair peeked out from the corner, and he knew who it was.

.

"Qi Mingyue, let me do it."

"Brother?"

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Amami Nanamigyue raised her delicate little face and looked at Raku Sakakihara who suddenly appeared in front of her and helped her hold the potato chips.

"Why did you buy so many at once?" Raku Sakakihara faced a potato chip concentration camp that was half his body size and looked like a microbial community.

"Because of the supermarket promotion today, buy one pack and get half a pack free."

"Half a bag?"

"Two packs get one pack, doesn't it mean one pack gets half a pack?"

"Two people give birth to one person, but it cannot be said that one person gives birth to half a person."

"Brother is secretly changing the concept. But brother is just in time. Please help your sister get something."

Nanami Nanami put the potato chip cluster in her hand into Sakakibara Raku's arms. She was carrying a small bag and was wearing a sky blue casual dress.

"You should call out Kuruuri." Sakakihara Raku said.

"My sister will never allow me to buy so many potato chips."

"So you came here to buy it secretly?"

"Brother, don't you think Qi Mingyue is pitiful?"

"I don't think so at all."

"My brother is going to expose Qi Mingyue to my sister again, and then my sister will scold me again."

"No...I'm just asking."

Tianhai Qimingyue instantly returned to his normal calm appearance: "Brother, it's okay if you understand. Although Qi Mingyue likes my sister very much and loves her very much, there are some things that I still can't let my sister know."

A black belly, definitely a black belly.

Sakakihara Raku also knows why, because if she buys so many potato chips, Kururi will definitely flick her forehead.

Jiuliuli still has the aura of a big sister.

Divide the potato chips into four small bags, carry two bags each, and start taking the tram home.

Qi Mingyue is very quiet. When riding the tram, she likes to sit quietly and stare at the flashing scenery outside the window.

There is nothing special about this book, but because of her wonderful face and unique temperament, she is completely different from everyone else in the tram.

"Brother, do you think Qimingyue is beautiful?"

"I'm just curious whether Qi Mingyue, you and Jiu Liuli have been very strict in their tutoring since childhood?"

"That's right." Tianhai Qimingyue nodded seriously, "My sister is not only good at archery, but also calligraphy and violin. She also knows some guitar. She is a perfect sister - she just can't cook."

"What about Qimingyue?"

"I'm not as powerful as my sister..." When Tian Hai Qi Mingyue said this, she deliberately buried her little face.

"If there is no ambition, transcendence is not high. I think Qimingyue at least knows how to be humble."

"Brother also studies Chinese literature?"

Seeing her interest, Sakakihara Raku continued: "More than that, I can also speak Chinese."

"Really? (The word is correct and the accent is round)"

Raku Sakakihara was stunned for a moment. This even had a bit of a capital flavor, but because it was very girly, it was in a very cute style, "Do you know how to do Nanamigetsu?"

"I learned it from my mother, and then from my father."

Uncle Tianhai can also speak Chinese?

But that’s right, there are books from more than ten countries in his study, and they are all original.

Probably Qi Mingyue likes reading and is influenced by Uncle Tianhai.

However, Sakakihara Raku didn't expect that Nanami Nanami would have such a pure Chinese accent. His mouth was a little unfamiliar, so he began to be interested in chatting with her in Chinese:

"When a man returns home after the wild geese, his thoughts are in front of the flowers."

"People miss home every day, a five-character poem from the Sui Dynasty."

"After the ancient platform crumbled, autumn came into my heart and I looked back to my hometown."

"Liu Changqing, climbing to Wu Gongtai Temple in autumn and looking into the distance... This poem was originally written by Qi Mingyue after I saw it in an article."

"The golden palace opens an account at dawn, and the jade-level immortals support thousands of palaces."

"Cen Shen's song and poem are about the scene in the early Tang Dynasty. My brother's simple question has no meaning at all."

"Haha, indeed, this is the same as searching for knowledge." Sakakibara laughed.

After communicating with Qi Mingyue for a while, he found that her personality was not as strange as he imagined.

On the contrary, she is still a very knowledgeable girl.

She also smiled gently when she talked about many interesting little knowledge points.

"I didn't expect that my brother would also read a lot of knowledge."

"Just looking around when I have nothing to do."

"Qi Mingyue, do you have any recommended books?"

""Six Chapters of a Floating Life", Qi Mingyue likes the love in it very much." Tianhai Qi Mingyue clearly has no expression, but there is always an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth.

"True or false? Why does the name sound so much like narrative prose?"

"It's an autobiographical prose, and it's in the school library."

"Okay, I'll borrow it for school tomorrow."

Carrying two large bags of potato chips from Shirogane Takanawa Station, Sakakibara Raku and Tenkai Nanamigetsu were waiting at an intersection.

There is a newly opened bridal shop across the street. Under the lighting, it looks like a dazzling palace.

Raku Sakakibara waited until the red light turned green and called Nanamiyuki. As soon as he took two steps, he found that she was not following her, so he turned back to look at her.

"Seven bright moons?"
