I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

To be honest, although the old life is worth remembering.

But nostalgia is one thing, and remembering the bitter past is another. If you were to ask him to give up everything he has now and go back to those miserable days, he would definitely refuse.

However, even though many things have changed, the most important thing has never changed in the slightest.

Looking at the images on the small TV in front of him, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, he rubbed the black rice dumpling in his arms, and gradually stopped.

What is the most important element that constitutes a home?

A familiar chair? A sofa you're used to lounging on? Or the small TV that holds countless memories of the past?

No, neither.

Compared to inanimate objects, family members are the most important element that constitutes a 'home'.

Compared to family, those things that supposedly carry memories are nothing more than dispensable accessories.

Or to put it more clearly.

The solar eclipse was the most important and indispensable element in the 'home' that Shinji Kitahara longed for.

This will never change, whether in the past, present, or far into the future.

However, this will not change.

However, when it came to the specifics of this point, Shinji Kitahara hesitated.

He used to simply treat Eclipse as family, and because he was always busy finding food for her, he didn't have much energy to think about the future.

Now, foraging for food is no longer necessary, and various events have proven how naive his previous ideas were.

The river of time flows forward, and the road of life gradually moves forward.

Of course, he could also choose to stay where he is, maintain their current relationship, and continue living like this.

Furthermore, he knew that once he made the decision, Eclipse would certainly not object.

But that's just escapism; it solves nothing and is irresponsible to both himself and the eclipse.

a long time.

With a soft sigh, Shinji Kitahara's voice slowly rang out.

"Solar eclipse".

".......What's wrong?"

"I like you."

Chapter 195: ...Is this made up?

Shinji Kitahara wasn't entirely sure whether his feelings for the Eclipse were actually love.

But whether that feeling was love or something else, it doesn't really matter to Shinji Kitahara now.

After all, he had already made a decision before that he would live with Eclipse no matter what happened in the future.

In this situation, instead of continuing to dwell on the so-called emotional nature of the relationship, it would be better to consider the practical problems currently facing him and the eclipse.

Take their relationship, for example.

Although nothing substantial has happened between the two so far, they still treat each other as family.

But it's quite obvious that, given how they are getting along now, it won't be long before...

In less than thirty days, Eclipse will turn eighteen. Add to that her complete absence from competitions, her lack of external influence, and her impulsive, unpredictable nature...

Let alone in the future, it's entirely possible that on New Year's Eve, the solar eclipse could force him to jump out of bed.

The problem is that, based on Kitahara Shinji's understanding of her, even if she jumped, Eclipse probably wouldn't think about changing their relationship.

And so they continued to live together as family, while occasionally having a little dance with him. Even if she got pregnant and had a child, she would still maintain the same way.

Perhaps this development is quite normal for a solar eclipse.

However, Shinji Kitahara was somewhat unable to accept this abnormal relationship.

Afterwards, seeing that the Eclipse project showed no signs of progress, Shinji Kitahara decided, after much deliberation, to take the initiative to push the progress forward on his own.

So he confessed his feelings.

However, Eclipse did not react to his confession.

Joy, surprise, shock, embarrassment, bewilderment...

The emotions that most people might show after being confessed to were not reflected in her at all.

She sat quietly in his lap, showing no obvious reaction after hearing Kitahara Shinji's confession, even continuing to watch a segment of a television drama.

"Do you want the horse to jump?"

Kitahara Shinji: "......?"

No, how did your train of thought get to this point?

Originally, after the confession, Shinji Kitahara was still gathering his emotions and preparing for the next series of actions.

But as soon as he said "eclipse," his thoughts immediately became disjointed, and the atmosphere he had just painstakingly built up vanished completely.

Then, seemingly noticing the confusion in his eyes, Eclipse continued to speak calmly.

"Isn't a confession just a prelude to the horse jumping?"

"Confess your love, fall in love, get married, then jump on the horse, or jump on the horse first and then get married..."

"Since the final result is the same anyway, isn't it the same whether you jump early or late?"

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

How can these be the same? And you've fast-forwarded way too much.

Shinji Kitahara mentally made a couple of sarcastic remarks, then immediately began to think of how to refute her theory.

He had to hurry, because he could already see the Eclipse pulling out green potion. If this continued, forget thirty days; he might die tonight...

Wait, a green potion?

Shinji Kitahara suddenly noticed this blind spot, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"Wait, isn't this expired yet?"

"I got a new one."

A calm explanation of a solar eclipse.

“When you told me before that the two of us were leaving, I contacted Suzi on Line and ordered three bottles of this medicine for her. She has them all with her at the moment… You see.”

As he spoke, Eclipse displayed three green vials of medicine to Shinji Kitahara and turned around.

Upon hearing the mention of the solar eclipse, Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment, then his eye twitched as he realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, I specifically ordered the medicine before coming...

"Eclipse, you didn't plan to do...do something before you came here, did you?"

Eclipse didn't answer, but just stared at him quietly, then reached out with her other hand and gently pressed him down onto the sofa.

"Wait, Eclipse, stop for a moment, let me explain..."

Shinji Kitahara tried to struggle.

But unfortunately, it was all in vain.

After all, unlike other horse girls, Eclipse far surpasses ordinary horse girls in both physical fitness and tolerance for care, and the extent of the difference is even exaggerated.

Let alone normal methods, even his methods that might harm Ma Niang would be basically useless against her.

And even if there were, he wouldn't be willing to harm the solar eclipse.

Shinji Kitahara is now filled with regret.

If he had known that Eclipse had this plan, which involved some risks, he should have at least brought another female horse with him. He certainly wouldn't have let her pull something like what just happened, given that she had this intention.

The problem is, he didn't know, and because of his previous concerns, he rashly confessed his feelings to her, thus lighting the fuse of the explosives himself.

Click, click, click...

The buttons on the shirt were undone one by one.

Shinji Kitahara struggled repeatedly, but all his efforts were thwarted by that seemingly slender yet powerful hand, which easily rendered all his resistance futile.

It's all over, absolutely all over...

But just as Shinji Kitahara was pondering whether to book a pelvic care bed at the hospital, Eclipse suddenly stopped after unbuttoning all the buttons on his upper body.

Um?what's the situation?

Because he was lost in thought, it took Shinji Kitahara a while to realize that she had stopped moving. When he looked up, he saw that she was holding her phone and tapping on the screen.

Upon seeing this, Shinji Kitahara was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, his expression gradually became subtle.

Wait, why is she taking out her phone now? Is she planning to record the whole thing later...?

Fortunately, Shinji Kitahara's worries did not come true. Eclipse did not have that strange habit; he simply remembered something and took out his phone.

As for the specifics of what happened...

"Aili Digital contacted me before, saying she prefers a more crowded environment and might feel a bit awkward being alone with me, so she asked if I could bring her along when I dance with you..."

"I agreed."

After a pause, the eclipse continued to be added.

"Oh, right, and Necha."

"Although she hasn't explicitly said anything, we've talked about similar topics privately, and she didn't seem to care much. I happen to have three bottles of medicine here, so I'll ask her about it..."

Shinji Kitahara was shocked.

What the heck? Are you guys teaming up to take on a boss?

If being forced to jump during a solar eclipse was barely within Shinji Kitahara's acceptable range, then being immediately engaged in a three-on-one fight was a bit beyond his limit.

Although Shinji Kitahara was pinned down by Eclipse's hand and couldn't resist her actions, at least she couldn't restrain his hands.

Then, although he outwardly gave up resisting, Shinji Kitahara slowly moved his hands to Eclipse's side, and then, while she was engrossed in fiddling with her phone, he suddenly snatched it away.

We need to call for help immediately.

That's what Shinji Kitahara thought.

But after snatching the phone and turning to look at the screen, Shinji Kitahara was stunned.

The screen didn't display the chat interface he expected, but rather a recipe for stewed carrots and pork.

Then, before he could react further, the hand that was pressing down on him loosened its grip.

What is this...

"Just kidding."

Sitting on Shinji Kitahara's lap, Eclipse looked directly into his eyes and said earnestly.

"I like you too, Kitahara."

"This is no joke."

The words fell.

Shinji Kitahara's body stiffened slightly.

.......

after a while.

After confirming that the eclipse had not meant to force him to jump, Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually calmed down.

"You scared me! I thought you were serious..."

The Eclipse calmly responded: "That could be true if you want."

"Then it's better to say goodbye."

Shinji Kitahara sighed and returned the phone to Eclipse.

"Have you been watching something weird lately? How come you can even make up something like inviting people to dance with me? That's not like you at all..."
