People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Yamada Ryo ordered a serving of matcha white jade shaved ice and a serving of matcha dango.

Because they were all made fresh, it took about thirty minutes for the desserts to arrive.

Aokisuke is quite fond of desserts, and he has heard of the fame of Uji Matcha desserts for a long time, so he has been looking forward to it.

Especially the famous Matcha Nama Chocolate——

The taste is delicate, with layers of matcha and raw chocolate flavors, which are a perfect match...

Without much communication with Miss Liang, he started to enjoy the dessert.

then--

Because the portion was not too large, it took less than ten minutes to finish the matcha raw chocolate and matcha cake. Then, while eating the matcha ice cream, Aokisuke noticed Miss Liang's gaze.

He raised his head slightly and met Yamada Ryo's eyes across the table.

The girl held the spoon for scooping smoothie in her mouth and looked at Aokisuke with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Is there something on my face?" Aokisuke asked in confusion.

"No."

"So why are you staring at me like that?..."

"Hmm—I was thinking about something about you, Suki-san."

"Something related to me?" Aoki Jie was even more confused.

Miss Liang held the spoon in her mouth and nodded seriously. The thoughtful look on her face turned serious. "I was thinking, Suki-san, you seem to like desserts very much. You always buy milk tea and small cakes before, and usually bring two pieces of chocolate with you. You chose to come to this shop today..."

"I really like it." Aokisuke nodded, then asked, "Then why is this conclusion worth Miss Liang's contemplation?"

"Suki-san, I'm thinking about the practical implications of this information."

Yamada Ryo responded, paused, and then explained solemnly, "Just like in a galgame, when you give the heroine a gift, you are given options. The increase in favorability is completely different when you give the right gift and when you give the heroine a gift she doesn't like."

"So I was thinking - if I give you desserts as gifts from now on, your affection for me will definitely skyrocket."

"..."

After a brief silence, Aokisuke's face darkened. "First of all, galgames and reality can't be equated. Secondly... Miss Liang, if you tell me these things now, then next time you give me dessert, I'll think you're trying to improve my impression of you."

"How, how could you be like this? How despicable!" Miss Liang spoke, looking regretful.

The conversation ended, and after finishing their dessert, the two left [Tsujirihei].

Before leaving, Aokisuke bought a few of the most expensive matcha raw chocolates here as gifts, intending to give them to acquaintances as souvenirs after returning.

After all, Aokisuke is very well-off right now, and he really has nowhere to spend his money...

When I walked out of [Tsujirihei], it was just past nine o'clock.

It was a bit too early to go back now, so at Yamada Ryo's suggestion, the two of them decided to take a quick stroll along the Uji River.

Walk south towards Tsujirihei for about ten minutes and you can smell the scent of autumn rivers.

However, just as they saw the water of the Uji River, they suddenly ran into a fan who had just finished his band.

A female who looked to be around twenty years old.

Probably also a tourist, he instantly showed an excited expression when he saw Aokisuke and Yamada Ryo, and trotted towards them.

"Ms. Yamada! Ajie! I'm your fan!"

Aoki Jie was somewhat not good at dealing with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

"Ah... hello." He replied very politely, then cast a slightly pleading look towards Yamada Ryo.

Miss Liang blinked and said nothing.

A fan who happened to meet them nearby continued, "I didn't expect to run into you guys while visiting Kyoto. What a coincidence! I wanted to see your live concert before, but I couldn't find the time!"

"Ah...well, what a coincidence, thank you for your support." Yamada Ryo did not respond, and Aoki Jie spoke up and thanked him sincerely.

"Yeah, I'll definitely continue to support you in the future. By the way, Ajie, Ms. Yamada, can I have an autograph?"

It was impossible to refuse such a simple request as an autograph, so Aokisuke agreed. The other party handed him a pen, but after searching for a while he couldn't find a notebook, so he simply tugged at the sweatshirt he was wearing and asked Aokisuke and Yamada Ryo to sign on the clothes.

Carefully wrote 'Suki-san' on the other person's clothes.

Hand the pen to Miss Liang.

While Yamada Ryo was signing autographs, this fan, who was about 20 years old, spoke to Aoki Suke.

"Ajie, I really like you very much - whether it's your talent or your looks, I like you very much! If there is a chance, please try to date me!"

Aokisuke, who had just finished signing autographs and was waiting for Yamada Ryo, showed a look of surprise on his face after hearing the fan's words.

Miss Liang, who was bending slightly to sign her autograph, paused and raised her eyes slightly.

To be honest, this fan is really good-looking.

Although it is not as good as the girls in the band, it is definitely top-notch among ordinary people.

But Aokisuke is not the kind of person who chooses a partner based on appearance.

After a moment of surprise, he subconsciously took a half step back and explained solemnly,

"Sorry, as for the love aspect...I don't plan to think about it for now."

“Hahahaha… You’re so cute even when you refuse to confess! It’s okay, Ajie! I understand! Ahem—I was just joking! Please don’t mind it, Ms. Yamada!”

"...?"

Aokijie took another half step back.

Joking aside, why did you tell Miss Liang "don't mind it"?

My own fans...what kind of weirdos are they?

Then, he felt doubtful.

Chapter 156 Uji, Uji (3)

His own fans are all weird, and in Aoki's opinion, there is no doubt about that.

Whether it was a chance encounter before, or seeing those fans who like to edit their own videos on the Internet...

The one who left a deep impression on me was the blogger nicknamed "Amano Ryu" if I remember correctly.

I was clearly making music videos before, but I don't know when it started, but I suddenly started editing the broadcasts and performance videos of the band that ended. From being a normal music blogger, I slowly transformed into a fan leader who specializes in editing the band that ended...

Although he liked music, it was still a little difficult for Aoki to fall in love with the lead singer because of the music.

In short, in the end, I just laughed it off and sent this very strange fan away.

Having been interrupted once, the two walked towards the Uji River again.

So this time no one bothered me and I walked straight to the side of the Uji River.

Around ten o'clock.

The autumn sun, almost in the middle, was emitting a slight warmth, but was slightly obscured by the clouds below.

The remaining sunlight was scattered on the surface of the river, reflecting the water. When the wind blew, it turned a golden red.

"It's quite nice." Staring at Ujikawa, Aokisuke spoke.

"Ah."

"But why is it suddenly cloudy when we get to the river? Is it going to rain soon?"

The clouds in the sky are enough to block out half of the sunlight. Based on experience, the probability of rain is quite high.

There was no sign of rain in the past few days, so why did the weather become so bad today when I came to Uji?

Is this a bit too deliberate and targeted? Aoki Jie's respect for the God in his heart was reduced again.

“It may not rain.”

Then, when Qing Mujie was daydreaming, Miss Liang spoke up, "Maybe it's just cloudy - there's still a chance that it will become sunny again after being cloudy."

Aoki blinked, thought for a moment, and tried to refute the argument with the meteorological knowledge he had read. But before he could respond, Yamada Ryo beside him paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"Speaking of which, Suki-san—" This was just the girl's words, but it had nothing to do with the previous sentence. "When that fan confessed to you just now, you didn't seem to hesitate at all to reject him."

"uh-huh?"

Aoki Kei glanced at the girl beside him with a puzzled look, paused for a moment, and then replied—

"Why would I hesitate? She and I have no connection at all. If I suddenly confess my feelings, anyone would be troubled and reject me, right? Do you think I'm the kind of person who chooses a partner based on appearance?"

Miss Liang nodded as if she understood, and then remained silent for a few seconds.

She continued to walk slowly forward for a while, and then looked at Aokisuke again.

Beside me, Suki-san's eyes were fixed on the surface of the Uji River, and I wonder what she was thinking.

The boy's appearance was flawless.

His hair was long enough to cover his eyes, but it was a perfect fit. His facial features resembled those of an anime protagonist. He was wearing the autumn uniform of Xiuhua High School. It was exactly the same as the other students', but he managed to wear it differently.

The top button was unbuttoned, and the slightly open collar revealed a hint of collarbone...

Perhaps out of a desire to play a prank, after silently looking at Aokisuke beside him for a while, Yamada Ryo spoke again.

"I don't choose my partner based on appearance... Then - if one day in the future, Suki-san and I confessed our love, how would you react?"

"Huh?" After a moment of hesitation, Aokisuke subconsciously stopped.

He turned his head to look at the other person and immediately met Miss Liang's eyes.

There was a moment of silence.

The sound of the Uji River flowing clearly reached my ears.

Aokisuke opened his mouth, but after a moment of silence, he looked away and took another step forward.

"Hmm...who can tell what will happen in the future?" He responded, his tone unchanged. "Who knows, maybe a year from now I'll be madly in love with you, Miss Liang, and lose all desire for food and drink. By then, I'm sure you won't be able to refuse me."

"Well...it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Miss Liang nodded in agreement.

After walking forward for a while, there were fewer people than before.

The Uji River at this time of year is extremely beautiful - the waves are sparkling, the light blue and golden light complement each other, and it feels like the haiku of Masaoka Shiki: "On a spring day, the river is like a bucket of indigo flowing."

Without feeling sorry for the tourists who didn't see this scene, Liang nodded in agreement. Then, seemingly extremely persistent, he changed his approach and asked a question -

"Let's not talk about the future - Suki-san."

Yamada Ryo blinked and spoke in the same tone as usual.

"If I confess to you now, Suki-san, will you refuse?"

"..."

These words sounded extremely clear, as if they were spoken in my ear.

Aokisuke took a deep breath and did not respond immediately.

A gust of wind blew by the Uji River, lifting some of Aokisuke's hair that was covering his eyes.

Whether it was a joke, a true word, or a true word said under the guise of a joke - Aokisuke didn't know how to give a perfect answer.

This time he did not meet Miss Liang's eyes, but just continued to walk forward a few steps.

I don’t know—he wanted to say he didn’t know, but found that he couldn’t say it.

So I just continued walking as if thinking.

Until the autumn wind had completely passed, nothing unusual happened as Aoki had said - raindrops began to fall slightly.

"Look," Aokisuke said, "it's raining after all."

It was probably a coincidence - a raindrop just happened to fall down Miss Liang's collar.

Feeling the sudden chill, Yamada Ryo wrapped himself in the sweatshirt, as if catching a cold, and put on the hood of the sweatshirt.

"It's raining indeed." Then, Miss Liang nodded in response.

"Let's go back. The rain may get even heavier later."

"..."

He was silent for a moment, his eyes still fixed on Aokisuke's face.
