People in Tokyo, the world is clear

There is sweat on the forehead and some very light red spots under the skin.

I felt a little dizzy, too weak to speak.

However, after lying down and resting for a while, the symptoms were slightly relieved.

The most obvious manifestation is that people have a lot of spirit.

His eyes returned from dull to lively, and his dry complexion also improved a lot.

Probably no need to go to the hospital -

After breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Sen took out his own piece of cake and placed it on the bedside table, then placed the piece she had not finished in front of her, helped her turn sideways, and handed her a spoon.

"I'll hold it. You dig and eat it."

"Um..."

In a previous life, I had the experience of taking care of a teammate who had a similar illness.

At that time, the little brother was even more perverted.

After a day of training, I didn't eat for more than ten hours, and then the manager urged me to go out for drinks with the team.

Before the food was even served, Dun Dun had already finished half a bottle of beer.

When the symptoms came on suddenly, I almost died.

Fortunately, after eating something urgently and returning to the base, I had a good rest.

During this period, Lin Sen was the one who contributed the most, whether it was moving people or just keeping an eye on the house.

After all, he was the oldest member of the team at the time. He couldn't really expect a few other teenagers to handle these operations, right?

I thought it was a piece of cake, but I didn't expect the consequences to be so horrific—

That's right. That young man was the one I had recalled before, the one who squatted by the toilet door late at night, smoking and whispering softly, "Brother Sen, you have a good personality."

...Wow.

So, in fact, taking care of people can always generate a lot of goodwill.

Lin Sen has profound experience and lessons in this regard.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the look in the eyes of the woman lying on the bed was so gentle and soft.

She bit the cake as if she was treating her face as food.

"It seems that Ito has met a very good lover."

"Boasting is as bad as being bad."

"I tried to put myself in her shoes, and all of a sudden my heart felt sweet."

“Real life doesn’t allow for any substitution.”

"Just try it out."

Qingshan Xiazhi raised her hand and gently grasped Lin Sen's wrist, but was immediately countered, and her fingers were gently pried apart and placed back to her side.

"Not even for fun."

"Okay. But it seems like everything happened so fast. Kobayashi, you and Ito..."

With the corners of his mouth curled up, Qingshan Xiazhi shook his head, "What does it feel like... It's like two good friends who haven't seen each other for just a few days suddenly go from being just acquaintances to being engaged."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"That's true. When two people are together, there are always details and memories that are not shared by others."

"I agree with that."

Qingshan Xiazhi nodded.

Then, perhaps triggered by some memory, she suddenly started to tease:

"I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered Kobayashi's promises before. He didn't want to get married, and he was afraid and disgusted with love."

"Yes. I didn't expect that sometimes there are things that are beyond human control. When I think about it, I feel disgusted by my pretense..."

Lin Sen sighed:

"Why don't you mock me? Actually, I feel pretty ugly."

"Not really."

Ms. Aoyama denied it.

Then, she kept smiling and looked over.

"Rather, Xiaolin is a very straightforward person. Well, I'm glad you told me something so personal."

"Don't praise me like that. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I just realized how unnoble I am."

"Do you finally understand how I feel when I'm being flattered?"

"Indeed. But you really do have the talent, you just don't have the confidence."

"Again?"

The woman, who had regained some strength, hit him.

Afterwards, she suddenly asked for the musical instruments outside the house.

"We haven't finished practicing today yet. Xiaolin, please help me get the guitar over here."

"have a rest."

"do not want!"

She was tough for once, "There's only one song left, play it!"

I couldn't persuade her. I just ran to get it and handed it to her.

However, when she plucked the strings with a smile on her face, she was stunned by the sound that did not come out.

"It's actually this song?"

This is an English song.

But at this moment, probably knowing that she was physically weak, the female singer did not sing it.

However, as the melody sounded, Lin Sen vaguely and unconsciously recalled its first line.

That is a short English sentence——

Chapter 69: Fear and Confusion

I'm sorry I didn't kiss you.

[But obviously I really want to do it.]

Amid the soft and vocal string music, Lin Sen's mind automatically filled in the unsung lyrics.

Remember, this is a Lofi style solo song called "Bubble-Gum".

The simple arrangement and unique melody are quite distinctive features.

After gradually learning some guitar tabs, Lin Sen simply wrote it down as a backup track.

Afterwards, he simply mixed the manuscript of this song with other musical manuscripts and did not even mention it to Qingshan Xiazhi.

Unexpectedly, she still found it and wrote it down——

I was stunned for a moment.

But the guitar beside him continued to make sounds.

The more crucial point is that both people present seemed to be able to recite the lyrics that go with this simple guitar solo:

[You look really good in a shirt.]

[Thinking of this, I feel sad and painful.]

I would do anything for you.

[But is it vice versa for you?]

[I couldn't help but swallow the bubble gum.]

[These past few years have been like this...]

"..."

After the song ended, there was a long silence.

Until a faint horn sounded outside the window.

There was also the sound of a motorcycle engine whirring past from far away, destroying the atmosphere of the solo.

Then the sound of a light laugh was heard.

From a female singer who has been waiting for a long time.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but it corresponds exactly to the last line of this song:

[I, with my mouth turned upside down, smile.]

Then, the instrument was gently placed on the bed against the wall.

"All right."

She said this, her voice sounding normal, "Now, I want to rest."

"..."

Lin Sen turned his gaze away.

She was still smiling, as usual.

But this time, he stared straight at me, his eyes falling on my face.

Lin Sen didn't quite understand the meaning of this look.

Or rather, I have a vague feeling about it. But at this moment, I am a little hesitant to try to understand it.

Perhaps, just as the song just now expressed.

Some things, at this moment, probably cannot be explained so clearly.

My throat felt blocked for a moment. I didn't know how to start.

The other person, on the other hand, seemed to have figured out something from his expression.

So she reached out and gently placed her hand on the young man's shoulder.

"I'm much better now. No need to watch over me."

Other than that, she didn't say or mention anything else.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Ah."

The young man got the answer and stood up. In another round of silence, he walked to the bedroom door before waiting for the next sentence:

"I want to ask you one more question quietly. Is that okay, Xiaolin?"

"Ah."

"That night. When you hugged me on the street...was it just out of encouragement and sympathy?"

"..."

She was referring to the night when she told about her plan to go home.

After that, after returning home with herself, she cried in a deeper spiritual confrontation.

I took off all my armor and defenses, and for the first time, I didn't hide my inner thoughts.

Finally, I agreed to accept the funding and stay in Tokyo to give it one last try for a year.

Lin Sen actually remembers every detail of that night.

Including my complete mental journey during this period.

But, because of this, I unexpectedly realized how difficult it was to speak frankly.
