People in Tokyo, the world is clear

The evening breeze further helps to calm down, and the lazy mood is also brought into the heart by the cool air.

He also found a good place to anchor and stand. Ito Xiguo stretched towards the night sky, then put his hands behind his back and took a look at the blurry light and shadow landscape.

The twinkling lights are like fireflies, illuminating the dim starry sky, which is a vast sight.

Ito Nishigo's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously. Then, she glanced at the young man standing next to her with his hands in his pockets.

Suddenly speaking:

"Come to think of it, Senior, don't you seem to have any experience as an adult?"

means something.

It was obviously not a healthy topic to talk about, so he gave her a sideways look.

"No."

He answered honestly.

However, perhaps intentionally avoiding any deeper insights, after revealing this, the young man's tone turned self-deprecating:

"Thinking about it now, it's ironic. After all, Xiao Linsen had three nominal lovers in his life. In the end, they never even had intimate gestures like holding hands, let alone anything further."

Ito Nishigo stretched out his hands, pulled the right arm of the man standing on the left, and held his right palm with both hands.

He had long fingers and a palm that was too big for her.

I've felt it before. It's a warm hand.

So, something that even lovers didn't do became normal between her and him, who still claimed to be friends - isn't it strange?

Ito Xiguo suddenly felt secretly happy.

It’s hard to describe this state of mind. Perhaps it’s the secret joy of knowing a pearl, covered in dust, hasn’t been tarnished by someone who doesn’t know its worth?

"Why haven't you even held hands?" the girl continued to ask.

"Perhaps it's some kind of tradition and pride at work," Lin Sen said, choosing his words carefully. "A sensitive heart can sense that the other person isn't really serious about the so-called romance. They're mostly being treated favorably by the money they carry."

"So." Ito Xiguo was stunned for a moment, "Senior, don't you take the initiative to ask for these things?"

"How should I put it? I don't know if you can understand. Even those who appear to be humbled to the dust actually have some ridiculous persistence in their hearts."

Having said this, Lin Sen paused for a moment and shook his head.

"At the time, Xiao Linsen had two conflicting feelings. One was that you looked down on me deep down, so why should I sadly beg for your respect? The other was that he hoped his sincerity would persuade the other person and make them understand that he wanted to seriously cultivate a relationship."

But what happened later is just a repetition of the same old story that needs no further elaboration.

When you exchange sincerity for sincerity, you must choose the right person. Otherwise, you will look ridiculous like a clown.

Xiao Linsen's original attempt to show sincerity was twisted by his so-called ex-girlfriends into quantifiable monetary contributions, such as patronizing, buying gifts, and footing the bill. They also engaged in deep PUA, creating the perception that only this was considered sincerity.

In the end, when he came to his senses, all his gold coins had been exposed and it was too late.

"All in all, it's quite humorous," Lin Sen concluded. "But now I've calmed down. On the contrary, I feel fortunate."

"Thank goodness?" Ito Xiguo blinked, holding his palm and raised his head.

"Yes."

As the girl stared at him, the young man nodded vigorously. "Because, if I had really used money or something to buy that kind of intimate interaction, looking back now, it would have felt disgusting and dirty. It would have felt like my soul had been polluted. But now is the perfect time. I've been resurrected from the dead and can live this life cleanly again."

"I have a feeling that my seniors want to break away from their past selves." Ito Nishika expressed his observations.

"Indeed. The little Lin Sen from the past is dead. That's a fact."

At this point, Lin Sen suddenly changed the subject, "In other words, it is precisely because of this pure rebirth that I have the confidence to stand beside you, Ito."

"I?"

Now it was Ito Xiguo's turn to be surprised.

Dropping his hand, she found his face.

I realized that he had turned sideways and looked at me without me noticing.

Perhaps it was the glare from the mountain below. At this moment, those determined eyes sparkled.

Then he smiled openly.

A rare expression, but one filled with fiery emotions.

"If I was really that kind of dirty beggar in my previous life, how could I bear to defile a pure and innocent child like you? To me, you are the most precious person I have ever met in this life."

"..."

For a moment, Ito Xiguo felt a little unstable.

The girl lost her balance.

Following the emotions in her heart, she fell completely into his arms in front of someone's surprised gaze.

She grabbed the clothes on his shoulders, buried her head in his chest and moaned with a shy but unconcealable joy.

"Senior is so cunning... You can't praise people like that."

"Let me tell you first, it's the truth."

"Really? I'm not as good as you think..."

Perhaps, sincere praise is indeed touching.

As a result, the girl, sensing the weight of it, was suddenly immersed in a strange joy. She clung to Lin Sen, unconsciously rubbing her head against his chest like a cat, and making some strange remarks:

"Even though it might sound a little strange to say it, I'm actually very happy about this."

"You, didn't have any bad contact with some bad people..."

"You're a squeaky clean Crystal Gem too!"

At the end, I suddenly realized it.

Then, the girl realized something and started laughing, not only making herself laugh, but also making Lin Sen laugh helplessly in the inexplicably cheerful atmosphere.

"It's actually just a distorted obsession with self-cleanliness," he said.

"I like this kind of cleanliness!" Ms. Ito expressed her opinion without giving in.

In the end, for some reason, he became very happy and grabbed Lin Sen's hands with both hands to play with them.

The atmosphere was harmonious. However, the next sentence that suddenly popped up almost made Lin Sen break out in a cold sweat.

"Come to think of it, it seems Qingshan also likes your hands, Senior."

"what?"

Suddenly, it felt like a cold gun tip pierced his chest from behind, and Lin Sen almost fell down.

He stared at the girl in front of him, who seemed to be still confused as she held his hand, as if it was just a casual remark.

"..."

I don't know where this inexplicable feeling of guilt came from, and my first reaction was to laugh it off.

But human principles still hold the upper hand.

The next moment, Lin Sen decided to remain honest without much thought:

"I don't think I like him that much. Qingshan has always been a person with no sense of boundaries. Last time, he even pulled me to compare the size of his hand..."

"no."

"?"

A statement so firm and resolute that it almost makes people feel terrified.

Lin Sen looked at the girl and noticed that her pupils were tilted upwards, and she had an expression of deep thought as if she was lost in memories.

"Remember that dinner a few days ago? The lady boss, who knew Qingshan, asked her nephew, who was helping out at the restaurant, to bring two more cans of drinks. He obviously knew Qingshan too, and he held the cans firmly in his hand and handed them to her. But Qingshan didn't take them. He just smiled and asked them to put them on the table."

"...It seems that's the case."

Lin Sen's memory was not bad either. He quickly recalled the details based on the description.

Then, I heard Miss Ito's next sentence:

"But, she's not like that with you. It seems that she doesn't resist physical contact with you, and she often imitates me and hits you with her hands."

"You don't learn the good things, do you?"

Does that mean you are special?

Lin Sen thought about this, but he was more concerned about the reason why Miss Ito suddenly brought up this matter.

He glanced at the girl again. She had tilted her head slightly, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Sen also spoke frankly:

"Does Ito think that Aoyama has a special fondness for me, just like the one between us? Or, to feel a little better about himself, and take it a step further, does he like me?"

In fact, I have always had this strange illusion.

Why not take this opportunity to ask Xiao Xiguo about the situation? Perhaps, from a female perspective, she could see deeper and help him confirm it.

This is what Lin Sen planned.

However, after I said it directly, I saw a strange expression on the girl's face.

Mostly confusion, and maybe a few other things.

"The first point is most likely true," she judged. "But, as for the second point, I'm not so sure. Because, apart from you, I really don't have any experience of liking anyone..."

"You've never liked anyone except me...huh?"

"Hmm...Hmm?"

Suddenly, the girl with short hair reacted stupidly and almost jumped up like a frightened cat.

"No! No! I, I mean." There was a cute panic on her face. "Apart from my senior, I haven't experienced the so-called lover's feeling with anyone. Because, because, I just had a vague crush on someone before... that is, I told you. But actually, it was not deep. Maybe it was just a vague brother-sister relationship..."

For a moment, the girl was incoherent. After finally calming down, she raised her head, pursed her lips, and cast a tentative look at me.

"Anyway, that's it... Do you understand, Senior?"

“I basically understand.”

Although Ms. Ito behaved a little strangely, what we should pay more attention to at this time is indeed a conclusion related to the Summer Solstice girl.

"So, Ito, you can't tell what Aoyama thinks of me?"

"Yes. I think that attitude might just be Qingshan's way of showing recognition to a good friend. She's often more extreme with me than with my seniors. Sometimes, it bothers me a little."

Ms. Ito is quite right.

It is often seen that girls with short hair are hugged, rubbed and kneaded by Qingshan Girl like the kind of sisters who are being manipulated, making cute noises.

It's quite a beautiful scenery.

but--

"You bring this up suddenly. Does Ito not want Qingshan and I to have the same interaction as you do?" Thinking of the girl's tone just now, Lin Sen asked her.

Some kind of selfish motive?

This is human nature and understandable.

However, this speculation was turned into arrogance by the next sentence:

"That's not what I meant."

Miss Ito shook her head firmly.

Then, her next sentence made Lin Sen stunned.

"I just want to know, how many friends like Qingshan do you have? One, or more?"
