If this sweet shell is destined to be peeled off by you

The fireworks display is very close, and it seems that everyone is changing silently.Gathering each other and saying goodbye, it seems that a heavy rain has washed away something and bred something.

"Tomorrow is the fireworks display, and we will be closed for two days."

Nakajima, who had just improved, leaned against the bar, and when he was about to get off work, he just explained something briefly.He is selfish, and he still has a lot of work to do, so he needs a little time.

"Huh? Manager, we..."

Although he was a little surprised, the corner of his eyes caught Jie Luo's face, Xue Yue who shut up at the right time did not continue, but said goodbye to the two and went to catch the tram.

"tomorrow……"

A little hesitant, Nakajima has something to say to Gero.

"How about we go drink?"

It is very rare to see Nakajima's formal smile, and his figure standing at the door with a straight posture is deserted.

"Didn't I say that I'm going to watch the fireworks display?"

"Do you have a date?"

That wasn't the answer Nakajima wanted to hear.

"No, just me. So sorry."

With a relaxed face, he deliberately didn't look at the other party, Jie Luo just waited for the other party to let him go out.

"Then let me watch it with you. I will pick you up on time at five o'clock tomorrow night. You can wait for me at home, okay?"

After turning off almost all the lights, no one could see the other person's expression clearly, but Jie Luo's soft chuckle came out in the dimness.

"What are you doing, why should I go with you?"

Although the tone was still so lazy and casual, the meaning of rejection was very obvious.

In this regard, Nakajima felt a headache.

"I have something to tell you. Jie Luo, no matter what, the relationship between me and you can't continue like this. I want to deal with it properly."

Jie Luo was silent for a while, just hummed lightly, and then there was no reply.

What Nakajima said is right, if this relationship continues, it will make everyone uncomfortable.For so many days, I almost didn't care about the reason for my anger at first, and day by day, those little expectations that I wanted to hide also changed unknowingly.

This ridiculous expectation may be an inexplicable illusion that has been born for such a long time, and it may be more likely to be the unhappiness brought about by my temporary loneliness.But no matter what, the sooner the messy emotions are resolved one day earlier, the sooner you can get yourself out of the pain.

A whole night of peaceful sleep was also a very rare good night's sleep in Nakajima.

The few people in the bar would wake up too early if they had nothing to do, but now Xueyue wakes up earlier than before.His breakfast is almost all arranged by Maeda, and now even if he doesn't wake up, someone will wake him up.

"It's a good thing I didn't wake up angry, otherwise you would have to look at bad faces every day."

Xueyue who was drinking the soup just smiled at Maeda and sighed.

"Eh? I'm quite curious about how you lose your temper, Xue Yue. Except for the day you confessed your love to you, you spoke a little louder. I have never seen you angry at any other time."

Listening to Maeda's words, Xueyue stopped her hands and looked at the other party seriously.

"Is that all you want to know?"

Seeing that Xueyue stopped moving her chopsticks, Maeda didn't know how to answer at this moment.Whether you want to watch it or not, that question is not easy to answer.

"No, it's just that I think you have a good temper, Xue Yue, and I'm more curious about whether you will lose your temper."

"Oh... I actually don't know, because the job I do doesn't allow me to lose my temper, and the people I know well take good care of me, so I don't have to get angry at all."

Maeda sighed silently in his heart that this person's life was so simple that he didn't even need to lose his temper.After much deliberation, it can also be understood as a kind of happiness.

"That's great. Oh, by the way, Xueyue, how about being my model tonight?"

"model?"

Xueyue didn't quite understand what Maeda meant, she put down the bowl and looked at him.

"Yes. It's been a long time since I quit my job, and I don't know if I can still paint. Xueyue, you are my model, let me draw a portrait?"

Thinking about asking Maeda if he wanted to go to the venue to join in the fun, Xueyue was a little hesitant.

"Well...it's okay, but I don't have experience, so I don't know if I can do it well."

"It's okay, as long as you maintain a comfortable sitting position. Come!"

Reaching out for a tissue, Maeda carefully wiped the corners of Xueyue's mouth.

Such small actions from daily life always make Xue Yue feel that she is loved, but now she has some other hesitation in her heart.That kind of hesitation comes from the two people's bare-chested meeting a few days ago, my own reckless response and sincere emotional venting.

As a result, after such an outburst, he became even more shy and didn't know how to respond, so that the other party just wiped the corner of his mouth and blushed.

"Well. So, when will it start?"

"I have to pack my things first. The painting tools are still in the box. You can lazily spend a while or do something you like."

"Shall I help you? Doing nothing like this, just watching you busy alone will make me restless..."

Eager to participate in Maeda's life and become a part of the other party, but the other party only wants to let herself watch from the sidelines, Xueyue pursed her mouth, with some color on her face, frowning at the other party.

Being stared at by such a cute lover, besides being warm, there is also some itch in my heart.But this feeling is not offensive, it can be said to be very comfortable.

"If Xueyue, you don't want to do nothing, just turn your face towards me and watch me pack up, how about it? It will make people feel very happy to be watched by your eyes."

"What are you talking about... always saying such embarrassing things..."

Turning his head away with a blushing face, the eyes looking out are gentle and shy.But in such a quiet and serene atmosphere, it is a comfort that can make people relax.

How to describe this atmosphere?It makes people feel at ease. By Maeda's side, there will no longer be a feeling of being blocked physically and mentally.Finally, the disguise can be removed. Those people don't need the hypocritical smiles and blunt politeness. The most authentic self, the appearance of opening up, can be displayed.You can get angry, you can make many expressions, you have expectations for this person, and you are also expected by this person.

What they give to each other is not only expectation, but also protection.Just like the daily good morning and breakfast, no matter how late it is, the other party's concern and waiting are enough to fill people's hearts with hope.It was a life posture that Xue Yue had never experienced before, with such a plain but loving warmth.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xueyue's mouth, and when she looked at Qiantian again, her eyes were full of tenderness like water.

"Has anyone ever said that you are so good at cooking, so gentle with people, and so good at caring for others, that you are very suitable to take home as a wife?"

With his hands resting on his chin, his small face was resting on the back of the sofa, chatting with the man who was arranging tools.

"Never, because although I can cook, I have never cooked a meal with anyone other than my family. In fact, my personality is not that good. My friends used to say that I am willful and arbitrary."

Glancing at Xueyue, who was looking at him obediently, Maeda returned a very gentle smile.

"Huh? Then, as an outsider who can eat your cooking, I'm really lucky."

Without stopping in his hand, messy paints and various pens have already been laid out.He was squatting on the ground wearing a dark apron, concentrating on classifying colors.

"Do not."

Clearly denied Xueyue's description, but still did not look up.

"I want Xueyue to be my family. So you say that I am gentle, can cook, and take care of others, because I regard Xueyue as my close family."

The heart seemed to be hit hard suddenly, huge ripples rippling and echoing, constantly shaking back and forth in Xue Yue's mind.Maeda's words, like magic that can penetrate everything, made Xueyue unable to calm down for a long time.

No wonder, I feel so at ease in such an atmosphere, that indescribable sense of comfort can be defined as the warmth of home.

After walking alone for so long, even the orphanage where she has lived for 18 years has never given Xueyue the warmth and concept of home.In those cold days, apart from making people want to close themselves, they are lonely all the time.Xueyue's silence and lack of sociability made him unable to make friends, even if others were willing to take the initiative to approach, they were finally pushed away by Xueyue's cold treatment without any feedback.

But now it has become different, he is no longer alone in his life, looking out of the window in a daze, while unable to find a reason to jump down.When Xueyue was gradually overwhelmed by that kind of lonely tearing, Maeda just happened to appear at the right time.

He made himself understand that in this world, he could not choose to live alone, but could accept the kindness and care of others, and interweave the lives of two people to move forward together.It is a fresh sense of happiness that is different from the boring days of loneliness, and it can make people feel so satisfied that tears fill their eyes.

"...You really are a bad person."

Xueyue, who buried her face on the back of the sofa and secretly wiped her tears with both hands, was embarrassed to show it to Maeda, but she noticed Xueyue's unusual nasal accent, so she put down the things in her hands and walked over, holding her cheek and looking at her. Xueyue's eyes were still moist.

"This little idiot, why are you so moved that tears fell? Hehe..."

Gently kissing to wipe away the tears that haven't overflowed yet, Maeda was very satisfied with the salty taste.

One time was not enough, another peck and kiss on the forehead, without further words, she hugged Xueyue tightly in her arms through the backrest.

"Thank you……"

This thank you was very sincere, and he hugged Maeda's back tightly and refused to let go, but his face was still full of tears but brimming with happiness.

I must be very strange at this moment, right?He couldn't stop laughing while shedding tears.

"Well, thank you too."

Maeda didn't continue talking, what exactly he was thanking Xueyue, Xueyue didn't know.An emotional idiot like myself has never been involved in the circle of emotions, so I can't understand the other party's gratitude, only the body is closer and I don't want to separate.

"Drip, drip, drip—"

It was the sound of the washing machine being finished. The two of them looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, go ahead and pack up, I'll help you hang your clothes out."

After touching Xueyue's hair a little, Maeda continued to pack his things.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was so clear that people felt a little bit blindfolded. I thought it would be very suitable to watch the fireworks tonight.

After drying the clean clothes, I turned around and started to wash the dishes with gloves on. After putting them away, I started to tidy up the floor.Although Xueyue is willing to watch Maeda doing things there, she is still willing to follow along for a while.Since Maeda can't help with the work in his hands, then just find some things that he can do.

It was very hot after noon, and the air-conditioned room was relatively cool, but at the end of the tidying, Maeda also began to sweat.Many were brought from my hometown, and some were bought with Xueyue.Although the oil painting tools are complete, I haven't done painting for a long time. Although Maeda really wants to do it, he feels uneasy.

In the evening, the sky had gradually turned dark, and the first firework from the fireworks festival was reflected outside the window. It bloomed slowly, but the huge light cluster was extremely beautiful in the sky, illuminating the originally dark sky.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks rose.

"Sit here, in a position that is comfortable for you."

After getting ready, the soft light illuminated the room, and she sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Xueyue was a little tired, so she unceremoniously leaned on the blanket, no longer talking, but her eyes kept looking at Maeda on the opposite side expectantly.

"Is that possible?"

After relaxing, her body became sluggish, and Xue Yue felt a little drowsy.

"...beautiful."

The author has something to say:

I didn't expect to have four chapters plus two extra chapters. If necessary, you can mention it on Weibo or ask for it privately.Irijiang Fanwai is very cute, and Xueyue's confession is also... mixed in the strong blackness, it's hard to say~
