The shining Shoko Toyokawa

"I...like an idiot..."

She treaded water without much effort, and gained the buoyancy that allowed both of them to float on the water.

Is it because she is gifted?

Not,

Sanjiao Chuhua's slender fingers touched the fastening buckle of Xia Ya's life jacket.

This is because the suit provides a lot of buoyancy.

It was obvious from her stiff body that Xia Ya was not good at swimming. All we had to do was take away her life jacket.

Chu Hua can control her life and death in the water,

She clearly knew that the girl in front of her was not the one who smiled at her in her memory.

but,

Why do we have to do such a sad thing?

Because Sanjiao Chuhua is such a pathetic guy?

Xia Ya grabbed Sanjiao Chuhua's hand,

Do you want to break free?

This is only natural.

Such a pathetic fellow,

This despicable human being,

Foolish dreamer, anyone wants to break free.

Chu Hua slowly loosened his hand.

She is pathetic, mean, stupid... and a coward,

She... As expected, she couldn't become a stupid crab...

The girl who looks like Xiangzi, but is not her, but her sister,

Finally left her arms,

Then, turning clumsily in the lake,

Warm hands touched Sanjiao Chuhua's cold face, "Okay,

If you, Chuhua, need something to support yourself in order to survive...

It’s okay to think of me as her.”

"Eh?"

Chu Hua's hollow purple eyes were gradually filled with astonishment.

She held Chu Hua's face in her hands and said softly, "Is this the kind of love you have for her?"

The flawless face continued to magnify in Chuhua's vision.

Gradually occupied her entire field of vision,

"wait…"

Chuhua's struggle, hesitation, and anxiety

Following the cool and soft touch, covering my lips,

All collapsed.

Then emerged,

A strong sense of guilt.

'Xiangzi...

I'm sorry Xiangzi...'

Chu Hua also held up the blonde girl's face, and then placed his lips on hers.

She clumsily forgot to breathe,

The pounding heart and the body that felt like it was about to burn in the water were madly consuming the oxygen in the blood.

Just when she was dizzy from lack of oxygen,

The gentle girl gently separated from her,

"It feels good, right?" Under the warm breath of the girl, Chu Hua's hairs, which were wet and stuck to his face, and were so thin that they were almost transparent, stood up again.

Chu Hua felt that perhaps every hair on his body under the water was now standing up.

“To be alive is such a beautiful thing.

This is an adult's kiss, Xiao Chuhua, do you want to feel it again? "

"!!!"

Chu Hua's pupils trembled violently, and his purple eyes were full of desire and confusion.

But she quickly broke free from it, regrets welling up in her heart.

"No, no, doing something like this is really...really too greedy!"

The girl with purple eyes, with a trembling voice,

"I...we are repeating the same mistakes,"

Xia Ya's mother, clearly already has a fiancé,

Xia Ya's father knew that she had a fiancé,

But they still made the mistake.

'The result is that sadness continues to spread, and they, Xiangzi's father, and even the innocent Miss Xia Ya have been hurt...'

"We must not repeat the same mistake, Ms. Xia!"

Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew her hand.

"That's it..."

Toyokawa Shoko seemed to be out of her body, watching her own performance.

There are two kinds of acting.

Experience and method,

The former is the "actor" who becomes the role, thinking what the role thinks, and thinking what the role thinks.

The latter is that the actor carefully considers the role and performs it based on his own emotions and experiences.

Toyokawa Shoko gradually deepened her experience. Even if an acquaintance appeared in front of her, she would not reveal any flaws.

Because at that time, her body, her expression,

They will no longer be like themselves, but like a foggy girl named Xia Isabella.

"I'm repeating the same mistakes my father made...

I'm sorry, Miss Sanjiao Chuhua," Xia Ya hesitated, took a deep breath and said, "Please forget everything I said."

She looked up at the lake a little nervously, as if she was afraid that someone would see what she was doing.

Even though he knew it would turn out like this, Chuhua's heart was still hurt by that subconscious action.

She left Chuhua behind, swam to the boat and climbed up with difficulty.

Chu Hua's strength in treading water became weaker and weaker.

'It was me...I was the one who rejected her.

Because this is definitely not right, but why...

Will I be sad and regretful?

Am I... regretting doing something I shouldn't have done?

Chu Hua subconsciously reached out his hand towards the girl's back.

But as her arm left the water, her 'horizon' sank again.

That cold and dark world (medium) where I am the only one.

"I want to die!"

Whether it's the despicable self who jumped into the water,

Or am I still nostalgic for my gentle self who made a mistake?

Chuhua was extremely disgusted with himself for betraying Xiangzi.

'well!'

but…

"Why... do you still want to save me, Miss Xia?"

The warm hand tightly grasped Chu Hua's outstretched hand, and when Chu Hua was unprepared, it suddenly exerted force and pulled her out of that cold world (medium).

"What are you doing? Come up quickly, Chuhua!"

'But Xiangzi is no longer in this world. In such a world, what is the point of me living?

Even if I survive, I will only repeat the mistakes of greed, and the result will be that sadness will continue to spread...

Even my feelings for Xiangzi were betrayed by me...'

"Don't worry about me," Chu Hua's voice gradually rose, "People like me will only cause misfortune and death if they continue to live.

Keep finding high-sounding excuses to do shameful things.

In the end, maybe even Xiangzi will be used by me, or even forgotten and abandoned.

The best option is for me to die here!"

"No, it won't!" Xia Ya's voice was firm.

"Why are you so sure?!"

Because of Chu Hua's struggle, the boat kept shaking.

"I am now a hopeless person! To me, all countries are divided into two types. One type is the country where I can sell weapons.

The other is the country where I can only sell weapons if the other party raises the price.

Even so, Miss Xia Ya still thinks I have the right to live?!"

"Yes, of course!"

Xia Ya was not shaken by Chu Hua's words.

"I have killed people, many, many people,

Someone was crying and calling for his mother in front of me, but I still chose to shoot him.

Because I am too weak!

So, I said to myself—

There's no other way. Just shoot him for everyone's sake!

Then the gun was fired...

I am also a cunning and cruel person!

But even for someone like me, there's value in living!

Is it wrong to create and sell weapons like guns?

Then are the kitchen knives that can be found everywhere and the spears that humans invented tens of thousands of years ago also wrong?

Ultimately, it’s not the weapons that are wrong, it’s the people who use them that are wrong.”

"Ah?" Chu Hua opened his eyes wide.

"Can someone like me be forgiven?"
