pure white secret

Akihiko and I can become friends and walk together from time to time. I don't think there is any novelty in this, but in the eyes of the people around, it doesn't seem to be the case.From the eyes they secretly looked at me, I could feel the strong sense of surprise in those eyes.

Yoshihara Rika and Inoue Kiyoko are two of them.

Yoshihara: "Takahashi-kun, are you free tomorrow?"

Me: "Tomorrow is the weekend, I asked Qiu Yan to go to the bookstore. What's the matter?"

Yoshihara said: "Inoue has moved to a new house, please go to her house as guests, Takahashi-kun will go too?"

After Yoshihara finished speaking, he suddenly smiled, his big round eyes were especially clear when he smiled.

I apologized and said: "But I have already made an appointment with Qiuyan, I am really sorry. I will visit again when I have a chance next time."

Yoshihara insisted: "No! Takahashi-kun must come tomorrow, and please be sure to bring Usami-kun with you! Please."

I'm in a bit of a bind.

The tricks of these girls are simple and straightforward, almost like writing in black and white on their faces.And I don't know when, I inexplicably acted as a transfer station for their love letters.

Qiu Yan is very popular, but I am more and more repulsed by those innocent smiling faces and shy love letters full of their love.

Akihiko: "Hi, Xiaohao."

When I turned my head, Yoshihara waved to Akihiko happily, calling him over.

Yoshihara smiled happily, and said excitedly: "Tomorrow there will be a party at Inoue's house, and Takahashi-kun is wondering whether to participate, Usami-kun, please come too! If you can come, Takahashi-kun can come, right?"

Qiu Yan suddenly looked at me and asked, "Does Xiaohao want to go?"

Of course I didn't want to go, so I smirked and said, "If Inoue-san invites you, I really should go, but tomorrow we—"

Qiu Yan said: "Then go!"

Yoshihara was so happy that he almost jumped up, "That's great. Then it's settled like this, see you tomorrow."

Looking at the back of Yoshihara running away happily, I regret that I didn't refuse more simply.

Akihiko suddenly put an arm on my shoulder and moved his face closer. I felt that the tip of Akihiko's nose touched my face. I was a little surprised, but Akihiko naturally ignored it and asked me with concern: "What's the matter?" Hyoho? You don't look very energetic today."

I should push him away. No matter how close the friendship between men is, they should keep a distance.I thought so but didn't.I don't hate Akihiko's hug.It seems that he likes the distance he is so close to me.I just dodged a little bit with very subtle movements.

Turning my face, my eyes just met Qiu Yan's.Qiu Yan's eyes are full of melancholy, what a sad heart it takes to show such melancholy eyes.At that moment, I just felt that my heart could not stop sinking, sinking infinitely without a bottom, sinking into his eyes, and even my heart was depressed along with him.

The conversation of the passing students interrupted my sinking panic. I looked at Qiuyan and forced a smile, "It's nothing. Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

Qiu Yan suddenly put his arm around my shoulders around my neck, and suddenly said, "I've decided."

Me: "What?"

Qiu Yan said: "Go to your house tonight. Wouldn't it be better for us to set off together tomorrow?"

"Eh?"

Qiu Yan looked away from my face, looked at the yellowing sunset, and said quietly: "I encountered a problem in my homework today, even I thought it was a problem, so I can only ask Xiaohao for help, right?"

"......Oh."

I used to think that Qiu Yan was a bit withdrawn, he didn't like to communicate with others, and always liked to think and write silently by himself.I was worried that he would be very restrained and unnatural when he saw my family, but in fact it was not like that at all, maybe it was just that I didn't know him well enough.

He was not at all aloof when he talked to my parents, and he got on well with my seven-year-old brother, so I don't know if he's totally faking it or just showing his true self.

I asked him, "Xiaotu, are you happy today? Are you tired?"

Qiu Yan said: "I'm very happy, but I'm really tired. Sure enough, Xiaohao is the person who understands me best, and I can't hide anything from you."

I smiled and said, "Sorry, my parents had too many problems today, but they really like you. After all, you are my only friend."

Qiu Yan said: "It's very fun chatting with my uncle and aunt, and I like them very much."

I was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say you were tired just now?"

Qiu Yan said: "Last night, a sudden inspiration came, so I stayed up all night, and today I have to drag my tired body to go to class, and I feel sleepy all day..."

I tucked Mr. Suzuki of the same style into his quilt, and turned off the light in the room, "In this case, go to bed early, good night."

Every time Qiu Yan came to my house to spend the night, he always slept in my room, and I gave him the bed.But when I woke up the next morning, I always saw him sleeping next to me on the floor, leaving Mr. Suzuki alone on the bed.

I asked Qiu Yan why he liked to hug me, and he said that because the temperature on my body made him feel very warm and at ease.So in my heart, I always think that Qiu Yan is like a child who lacks love and needs someone to accompany and love him, and I am willing to be the person he needs.I even hope that he only needs me alone.

So when I heard that Inoue was going to confess to Akihiko at today's PARTY, I was very unhappy. It was a kind of... a sense of crisis that I had never felt before.That's right, a sense of crisis.

When Yoshihara handed me the cut cake, I completely forgot to reach out to take it.Looking at the empty seats of Akihiko and Inoue, I stood up suddenly, "I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

The surprised people left behind and ran to the second floor alone.

Qiu Yan went to the bathroom on the second floor, and then Inoue blushed and chased to the second floor amidst the booing of the crowd.

When I was about to turn to the bathroom, Yoshihara suddenly called me from behind.

I didn't expect that she would run up with me, "Takahashi-kun, wait a minute."

Me: "Sorry, I have something to go to Qiu Yan."

Yoshihara suddenly stood in front of me aggressively, looking at me with twinkling eyes, "Takahashi-kun, don't bother me, Inoue should be confessing to Usami-kun at this time."

I just knew that's why I wanted to go.

Yoshihara suddenly exclaimed: "Does Takahashi-kun like Inoue?"

I was shocked, "What?"

Yoshihara said: "If it's not because Takahashi-kun likes Inoue, why stop her from confessing to others? Or is it because the person she wants to confess to is Usami-kun who is better than Takahashi-kun in every way, so she can't tolerate it? "

The logic of the girls' thinking makes me very puzzled.

Me: "It's not like that. Although Inoue is very good, she is a simple and honest girl, but I don't like Inoue."

Yoshihara smiled as if relaxed, "Then I'm relieved. I almost thought my confession would be useless."

"What do you mean?"

Yoshihara said: "If Takahashi-kun likes Inoue, I will be very sad."

"what are you saying?"

Yoshihara said, "Because I like Takahashi-kun."

I:"......"

Yoshihara said: "Although everyone likes Usami-kun very much, in my opinion, a gentle boy like Takahashi-kun is better than the indifferent Usami-kun. Gentle and strong, just look at Takahashi-kun , I feel as if I am surrounded by the warmest sunshine. In order to get the warmth of Takahashi-kun, I always want to get close to him silently. If Takahashi-kun, can you date me?"

"Sorry, I have someone I like."

Although he doesn't mean that to me, I still like him.

Yoshihara refused to believe it, "How is it possible? I have been paying attention to Takahashi-kun for a long time. There is no one else around Takahashi-kun except Usami. Takahashi-kun has never been with any girls, so the person you like Who is it?"

I couldn't say, "Sorry."

Avoiding Yoshihara's obstruction, I went to the bathroom on the second floor to find Akihiko, just in time to meet Inoue who was about to go downstairs.

Inoue is indeed a good girl, with long hair and a sweet smile, but at this moment she looks devastated, presumably because she was rejected by Qiu Yan.

Such a pitiful expression should not appear on such a lovely girl's face.As guilty as it is to say this, I'm happy.

Inoue lowered his head and asked me, "If it was Takahashi-kun, maybe he would know."

Me: "Huh? Know what?"

Inoue suddenly looked at me and asked, "Does Takahashi-kun know? Who is that person Usami-kun likes?"

What?Does Akihiko already have someone he likes?Why I don't know, I've never heard him talk about it.

I asked her, "Did Qiu Yan say that?"

Inoue was disappointed, and whispered: "Yes, Usa Jian-kun said that they have already planned to live together."

At that moment, my heart was full of fear that I had never had before, the fear of losing this person.

After Jing went downstairs, I stood alone at the stairs, immersed in my own worries.Akihiko was also surprised when he saw me, "Xiaohao, how long have you been here?"

Me: "Oh, I just came up."

Qiu Yan: "What's wrong with you? Your face is ugly."

I avoided Qiuyan's face, not daring to look at him.There must be an ugly expression on my face at this moment. "It's okay, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday. I'll go to the bathroom."

Qiu Yan: "Hello, Xiaohao."

I lowered my head, "Sorry little rabbit, please step aside."

But Qiu Yan dragged me downstairs, bid farewell to Inoue and the others in a hurry, and we left Inoue's house.

I didn't care which street I was walking or what direction I was going in. Qiu Yan pulled me and just walked in a hurry.

I stopped, "Hey, little rabbit, it's rude for us to leave so suddenly."

Qiu Yan said: "Xiaohao, what did you hear? Did you misunderstand me?"

Me: "What are you talking about? I just happened to be going to the bathroom and I didn't hear anything."

Qiu Yan: "Inoue did confess to me, but I rejected her."

I smiled and said, "I know."

Qiu Yan said in surprise: "Eh? How did you know? Didn't you hear nothing?"

Me: "After you left, I heard other students say that Inoue liked you, but seeing her disappointed face, I know that you rejected her after thinking about it."

Qiu Yan: "So you're not angry with me?"

I don't understand why he asked, "Why should I be angry with you? Actually, I'm just curious, since when did Xiaotu have someone he likes? Why have I never heard of you? We are friends, aren't we?" You don't need to hide such things from me, do you?"

Qiu Yan's face was slightly flushed, and his expression became tense, "I do have someone I like, and the person I like is... yes..."

I really wanted to know who the person in Qiu Yan's heart was, but I was afraid to hear Qiu Yan say other people's names. I looked into Qiu Yan's eyes and blurted out: "Don't say it!"

"Xiaohao."

Akihiko was stunned for a moment, then grabbed my hand, "Xiaohao, actually I..."

"Akihiko? What a coincidence."

Akihiko and I heard the sound and looked over together, and it turned out to be Yuichi Watanabe, the senior who stopped Akihiko from confessing his love last time.

Watanabe said: "It seems that we are really destined."

Akihiko: "Really?"

Watanabe said: "My house is nearby, do you want to go up and sit down. We haven't finished our topic last time."

I pulled Qiu Yan, "Please don't pester Qiu Yan any more."

Watanabe looked at me, "So it's you? Do you like interrupting my conversation with Akihiko so much? Or do you want to be my competitor?"

Me: "Qiuyan already has someone he likes, so he won't accept you. And the senior hates homosexuality, right? Now he comes to confess to a man, man and man, isn't this kind of thing ridiculous?"

Watanabe's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he suddenly laughed and said, "People always change. It's not my decision to like Qiu Yan. What can I do? As for what other people think, I don't care at all. So, if I insist on pursuing Qiu Yan, do you want to stop me?"

"That's right!"

Watanabe said: "Why do you? Just because you are his friend?"

Me: "I... Anyway, I won't let someone like you associate with Qiuyan."

Watanabe laughed and said, "You're really interesting. If you think I'm ridiculous, just laugh. I won't be threatened by you. Hey, Qiuyan, what do you say?"

Qiu Yan said: "I don't think there is anything ridiculous. Because people do change."

I was surprised to hear Akihiko's answer like this.It was a more complicated mood than being refuted.And Qiu Yan's next move stunned me and Watanabe at the same time.

Kissed.

Akihiko and I kissed.

Although it was just a simple touch between lips, the shock that gave me at that moment was not as simple as the first kiss.

The person Akihiko likes...the person he likes...could it be me...

The heart was beating violently as if it was about to burst.

After Watanabe was shocked, he suddenly said seriously: "Hey, Qiu Yan, are you serious!"

Please, this is the question I want to ask.

Qiu Yan let go of me, held my hand, and smiled slightly.I find that smile charming.What a bad idea.

"That's right, I'm already dating Hyoho."

Watanabe Yuichi looked at our clenched hands, frowned, and finally left angrily.

I was left to face Qiu Yan alone, I was inexplicably nervous, extremely nervous, "Xiaotu, are you serious?"

Qiu Yan let go of my hand, and said easily, "Thank you so much for today, Xiaohao."

"What do you mean?"

Qiu Yan said: "Fortunately, I was able to deceive him because of you."

I was stunned: "Could it be that what happened just now was just a play?"

Qiu Yan said: "Of course. If you don't do this, Watanabe will definitely pester him again. I don't want to deal with him anymore. Now he should give up on me."

I didn't know what to say, so I had no choice but to put on a heartless and suddenly enlightened smirk to cover up the unknown disappointment in my heart, "Oh, that's it, hehe."

Qiu Yan said: "If you use others to do this, you should be beaten, but if it is Xiaohao, you will forgive me, right?"

Me: "When...Of course. I am also very happy to help you. This is what friends have to stand up for at times like this. Haha!"

Qiu Yan said: "Thank you."

I still smirked, but I didn't know how to stop the flustered heartbeat and the ever-spreading loss in my heart.
