Chapter 128: A Confession of Brokenness!

Aoi Natsuki brought Lina back home, the time is already close to nine o’clock, mom and dad also went back to their rooms to sleep at this point, when he unlocked the door and entered, the whole corridor was dark, changed into indoor shoes, walked towards the dining room, skillfully lit the electric light of the dining room, after returning home, the fatigue that was originally hidden in the body gradually surged up, in the bus although he lay down for a while, but did not have a good rest, or at home, it feels the best ah.

Aoi Natsuki’s straight back arched slightly, then she stretched and said something to Rina about hurrying upstairs to take a bath and go to bed.

After Mom and Dad came back, Lena’s room was completely reorganized, and some room sets and linens for little girls were purchased, making the whole place full of dreamy colors.

And Lina is standing still, looks as if there is something in his heart, so small children can have what is in his heart?

Natsuki Aoi went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of warm water for the two of them, and after taking a drink, she realized that Rina still looked the same.

“Thinking about something? Leena.”

Lina’s body shuddered as her eyes went to the clock on the wall, followed by picking up her writing pad and slowly writing on it, “Can I watch TV for a little while longer?”

Seeing this, Aoi Natsuki looked relieved, and immediately said, “At this point, the animation you love to watch is also finished, and the contents of the on-demand broadcast can be watched tomorrow when you get up, children can’t stay up late, now obey, go upstairs and go to bed.”

“It’s ……” Rina’s movement of dotting the ellipses was so slow that Natsuki Aoi thought it was because she was feeling down when she heard that she couldn’t watch anime, but in reality Rina was stalling for time.

Natsuki Arai stepped forward and rubbed her pilled head, just as his cell phone rang with a text message.

Is it Sakurajima? ……

His instinctive first thought was, after all, that she had just made such a pact with herself.

Pulling his cell phone out of his down jacket pocket, he tapped the screen, hmm? It was a text message from Takahashi.

He opened the text message content.

It’s a text message text about a hundred words in length and covering a whole screen in length.

Aoi Natsuki looked at the first sentence and felt that something was wrong, and as he continued to read on, the words became more and more fleshy, and it was cool like a kind of network love story excerpts of the vestigial feeling, and the second half of the text message was even an unusually hot confession request! What’s going on? Takahashi actually confessed to himself?

Aoi Natsuki’s brain hadn’t turned a corner yet, this was too sudden, wasn’t it?

The shock on his face was slow to lessen, and aside from him, Lina watched him, even more nervously than herself, to prevent being noticed, her eyes looking purposefully to the other side of the room, her hands behind her back, kneading her fingers.

It took a while before Lina resumed writing on her writing pad.

“Natsuki?”

When he didn’t respond, he then reached out and pulled down his shirt.

Natsuki Arai was silent, her eyes filled with confusion as she turned her head over, her left index finger gently tapping the screen in thought.

No, it’s better to ask for clarification.

After deciding, Natsuki Aoi immediately began typing a reply, and Rina, seeing this, recalled what Makio had told her, and hurriedly tugged at his coat with both hands in unison.

“Lina, wait a little bit, I have something important to do, go wash up first.” Aoi Natsuki was still thinking about what she should ask in her head, while on the side, Lina was constantly harassing her side.

Aoi Natsuki eventually didn’t think of any appropriate words to say, never expecting Takahashi to confess to him, he couldn’t believe it was true, but it was indeed sent from Takahashi’s cell phone.

He was busy calling up the system panel, looking at Takahashi Mito 65 points of goodwill value, not even to 70 points, so surprisingly all will trigger the conditions of confession?

The more Aoi Natsuki thought about it, the more he thought about it, and his right hand instinctively soothed Lina’s head, which had begun to stir for some reason, and this time, he lapsed into one of the longer silences, and even walked over to the dining room, pulling out a chair, and sitting down to think about the matter.

The sleepiness I had just felt was gone in a flash.

The Lina in front of her was staring at Natsuki’s cell phone dead on, afraid that if he replied to it at this moment, it would be revealed.

And Aoi Natsuki at this time is not thinking about Takahashi sent this text message out of the engine, with the passage of time, he thinks more about instead how to go to the appropriate to give Takahashi confession feedback.

The answer must be a refusal, but the refusal needs to be reasonably worded.

Thinking back to when she first met Takahashi Mito, the two had never been on good terms, and she had managed to remain friends until now without the help of Hayakawa and Sakurajima, who seemed to realize this herself, and had tightened up her temper a lot.

But if it is to confess to him, the two sides become boyfriend and girlfriend, Aoi Natsuki think far from this step, to have a longing for a beautiful girl is a normal psychological activity of every boy, but if it rises to the level of dating, the consideration of the matter can not help but become more.

“Whew.” Natsuki Aoi let out a long breath and turned to Rina, who was lying obediently on his lap, gazing up at herself.

The moment Rina noticed Natsuki locking eyes with her own, she immediately put up the writing pad in her hand.

“Did something happen?”

Aoi Natsuki didn’t think that an eight year old was going to be able to help in this matter, but he didn’t have any ideas himself right now!

After thinking about it, and with the mindset of trying it out, he spoke up, “If I’m confessed to by a girl someday, and I want to reject her, but both parties are too familiar with each other, how do I reject her more politely?”

Hearing this, as one of the initiators, Rina naturally immediately heard the meaning of it, Natsuki is going to reject Takahashi sister like this?…… Sure enough, it is the same as what he had guessed at first.

Natsuki still likes Sister Hayakawa more.

Lina was a bit lost in her heart, but she had vaguely guessed it before, so she didn’t feel surprised by the result.

Rina went into her first deep thought about emotions in her life, her chin resting gently on Natsuki’s thigh, her eyes looking forward with vacant eyes.

After a long time had passed, she made a decision in her mind and immediately picked up a pen and wrote on the writing pad.

The sudden movement also startled Natsuki Aoi, and her head went over to see what Rina was writing.

After writing it, she displayed it in front of him with a serious face.

“If Natsuki really wants to reject it, he should seriously reject her to her face! For a girl, your decisiveness is what’s best for her!”

A long text with an unusually determined attitude.

The little exclamation points dotting the end also indicate Lena’s attitude and determination on the matter.

Natsuki Aoi looked at that and froze for two seconds, then nodded somberly.

Leena was in line with what he had in mind, or to be blunt rejecting it was for the best.

Takahashi Mito had said that she hadn’t liked being near boys since she was a child, and he was kind of the first one to be able to go from hating to liking, and it would be more difficult for her to like someone than it would be for a normal girl, and to be able to have a reversal like that, she must have gone through a lot of internal struggles.

It is for this reason that giving her blunt feedback is the best terminator for this confession.

Right! That’s it!

Aoi Natsuki figured it out and his mood relaxed in this instant, there was always some smile on his face, and he was about to reply to Takahashi when Lina suddenly reached out and stopped him, pressing the cell phone’s screen down, and the other hand was quickly writing on the writing pad again, this evening had been a busy one for Lina.

“Wait for some time, Natsuki will talk to her face to face! A girl’s determination should never be summarized in a text message!”

“Oh!” Aoi Natsuki exclaimed, never expecting Rina to look so deeply, was this still an eight year old?

He finally nodded, he’d hold off on responding to texts for tonight, and wait for tomorrow, then ask Takahashi out to meet him alone.

“Good! Don’t want to think about that, so let’s get some early rest today.” Natsuki Aoi slapped his thighs together freely and got up, pushing Lina’s back with both hands in the direction of the door, followed closely by turning off the lights and going up to the second floor.

It was ten o’clock in the evening, and Rina was catatonic and late under the covers, her cell phone ringing frequently with text messages from Mako.

“It’s done! Luckily, I found an excuse to stay at my sister-in-law’s house today, and just now I sneaked into her room and deleted that timed text message, so I believe that this confession will soon come to fruition!”

Rina looked at Makio’s confident words, she didn’t even know what she should reply to, she had already said that it wasn’t that simple, and that she should have formulated the plan in a little more detail in the first place.

Rina lay on her side on the pillow, her hands cupped around her phone, the glowing light shining on her face, and then she let out a long sigh, not to blow Mako’s self-confidence now, wait until tomorrow when everything will be clear.

She echoed a couple of answers about what would happen tomorrow that she couldn’t even think about right now!

……

Next day.

Aoi Natsuki slowly walked down the stairs with a yawn, he didn’t sleep much last night and night, his mind was always thinking of the lines to reject Takahashi after his appointment, so that she wouldn’t feel too embarrassed, and that this matter could be easily and pleasantly brushed off.

From then on it was enough for the two to be stable enough to be chatty friends.

Walked to the dining room, mom has already made breakfast, now mom and dad at home, he basically do not need to get up early to make breakfast, as a son, occasionally have to enjoy a few days of home squatting geeks happy, busy for so long, lazy for a few days and so what.

After breakfast, Aoi Natsuki was a bit nervous and started to reply to yesterday’s text message, Takahashi didn’t send any more messages since that one either, apparently she was waiting for her reply well.

This could not help but make Aoi take this matter more seriously.

An invitation to meet today was then sent to Takahashi.

Location, if you choose the less crowded commercial street plaza, which is closer to the location of the two sides of the home, and can be accessed by the subway, if she is too sad, walk two hundred meters to reach the subway entrance, straight home.

That’s very thoughtful of him!

A few minutes after sending the message, his cell phone rang, his mood tensed up, picking up the phone to see that the other party agreed to his request, yes, this is normal, after all, last night was a confession of such a big thing well, then he and Takahashi Midu agreed to meet in an hour, in the square of the commercial street.

Things are moving right along.

……

The other side.

Half a minute ago.

Takahashi Midu, who was eating breakfast, received Aoi Natsuki’s invitation to meet her, and immediately the hand holding the poached egg with the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and the chopsticks loosened, and the poached egg followed the chopsticks and fell back to the dinner plate on the table.

Cheat, cheat it!

Aoi actually took the initiative to ask me out?

Eh?

Eh!

Incredulous, Takahashi Midu’s eyes abruptly emptied to look at the floor in the lower right corner.

Looking back, I can’t recall anything at all ah!

Wait, is it hard to believe that it’s about the special visit to his house yesterday?

He’s asking me out because he’s grateful? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

She couldn’t figure out how to do it, and by this time five minutes had passed, she couldn’t hesitate any longer, and in a sullen mood, she then took a deep breath and very dreamily agreed to his invitation.

I can’t! An hour then, and now you have to start getting ready yourself.

Takahashi Midu’s gaze was stunned, her hand touched her hair, okay okay, yesterday she went to his house, she especially washed her hair ahead of time, now all she had to do was wash her face, moisturize her face, and put on her makeup …… aaaaaaahhhh! Still a lot of things ah!

Takahashi Mito stood up in a hurry and hurriedly left the living room, rushing quickly to the second floor.

Ayano Takahashi, who was sitting on the right side, saw her sister in such an abnormal state, and her eyes showed confusion, “What’s she doing again? Getting so emotional?”

Mako, who was sitting at the opposite table, took a big bite of her poached egg with a full smile on her face, “Maybe it’s meeting something really good, oh.”

Saying so, he continued to poke through the poached egg with his chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, eating it with special flavor.

……

An hour later.

The plaza on Commercial Street.

During the vacation period, there are not many pedestrians coming and going on the streets, the cold days limit many people’s course of action, like coming all the way over to the commercial street to shop, is really in the minority.

Aoi Natsuki is wearing a thick down jacket, with a scarf around his neck, in fact, the choice of this place was also carefully planned by him, there will definitely not be many people, and if there are some verbal outbursts afterward, both sides will not lose face too much.

“Ha ……” he breathed into his palm, his eyes looked around, not long after, not far from the subway in the escalator slowly appeared a silhouette, the other party in the line of sight can see the outside world, but also the first time as if looking for something, until with Aoi Natsuki line of sight Counterparts.

A momentary deer in the headlights.

Today’s Takahashi Mito was wearing a pair of tan high-top boots with dark jeans, the upper half of her body was layer after layer of white bakery clothes, the bakery clothes that seemed to be very disliked in other people’s eyes looked extraordinarily well-fitting on her, with her delicate makeup and specially tended hair, even Aoi Natsuki felt that today’s her was especially beautiful.

I’ve come prepared for this.

Thinking of this, Aoi Natsuki felt that she needed to be a bit more sincere in her refusal in the future before she could do so.

The hot air that Midu Takahashi exhaled drifted out around her mouth, blushing slightly as she took a step towards Aoi, feeling uncomfortable wherever she placed her hands because she felt a twinge of embarrassment.

Until it comes to the front.

“Yo…… Aoi, you’re early.”

I don’t know if it’s the freezing or the nerves, but my voice is shaking.

Aoi Natsuki stared at her, thinking to herself, “The more this is delayed the worse the situation should instead become, right? It’s better to make a decision on the spot, maybe it will have good results.”

“Takahashi, I asked you to come here today mainly because I wanted to make my thoughts clear.”

“Thoughts?”

“Uh-huh.” Aoi Natsuki gently nodded, then spoke, “I hope that whatever I say next, you won’t even get too excited when you hear it, so take your time and listen to me, okay?”

“Eh?” Takahashi Mito looked confused, what is Aoi trying to do? But looking at his serious expression, what he’s going to say next won’t be ……

She couldn’t help but feel more connected to what he was about to say below.

“Sorry!”

Aoi Natsuki suddenly bowed heavily at ninety degrees, this action also really startled Takahashi Mito, the whole person shrank back, her eyes revealing panic.

“I really can’t respond to your feelings about the fact that you like me! I’ve been thinking about this all night too, and I don’t think we’ve reached this point in our relationship, and I’m thankful that you’re able to like me, but I’d prefer us to be friends as well as members of the ministry, so please do try to understand!”

Speak with exceptional directness! Extraordinarily sincere!

Even if she was scolded by Takahashi, it was only natural; after all, this might be the first time she had ever gotten up the courage to confess her feelings to a boy, and the significance of this was extraordinary.

Takahashi Midu the whole person stupid, brain directly downtime, inside is like a giant stone sinking into the bottom of the water, that kind of depressing sense of suffocation surged up, the chest straight to the chest, breathing immediately followed by become rapid, right hand unconsciously swinging, “I, I should not have, did not say ……”

She even wanted to laugh and deny the whole thing, but the next moment, her mind would remember Ayano, yeah! She had told Ayano about the fact that she liked Aoi!

There’s a really good chance that Ayano, a loudmouth, will turn around and tell Aoi about this!

Jesus!

Jesus!

Does Aoi know he likes him?

Ahhhhhhhh!

Takahashi Mito’s mind began to spin, and both eyes instinctively began to flutter violently.

Since, himself, and now being approached by the other party alone? And rejected by the other person himself?

“……”

Takahashi Mito’s mood instantly hit rock bottom at the moment, it was different from the usual lows at any time of the day, this emotion was going to be much more turbulent and sharp.

There is no more socially dead situation in the world than being rejected to your face by the guy you like!

Aoi Natsuki looked at her expression and physical reaction that was more devastated than expected, he could envision the blow this incident would have for her, should he now go up with a smile and comfort her? Or should he change the subject and ask her if she wants a snack? Or should he just leave her like this?

He gulped and then made a decision, trying to keep a smile at the corners of his mouth, “Would you like something to drink? There happens to be a milk tea store up ahead.”

“……”

“Eh …… you don’t want to see me, I can disappear now.” Aoi Natsuki said carefully.

As the saying goes, a woman’s heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, and he didn’t know what was going through Takahashi Midu’s mind right now.

And Takahashi Midu’s heart was obviously going to be even more broken, it was the double situation of denial coupled with social death, while at the same time the current her was still completely unable to deny it, all kinds of complicated emotions were mixed together, her heart was beating so fast that she even felt her body wanting to dry-heave at one point.

The eyes were unconsciously red.

Now that she heard Aoi Natsuki’s voice, more emotions grew in her heart instead.

She began to gradually put aside all the external factors around her, the environment, the crowd, the atmosphere, and an incredibly stubborn emotion gradually burst out from within.

……

Aoi Natsuki saw that she hadn’t been responding, her head unconsciously drooping, seeing as she didn’t want to either talk or see him right now, then this was the time for him to obediently get the hell out of the way and stop irritating her emotions.

Aoi Natsuki pursed her lips, then turned around and took a step back towards the way she came.

It wasn’t until he was three steps away that a low, husky voice came from behind him, “Why ……”

Natsuki Arai stood still and slowly turned back.

In the next second, only Takahashi Mito clenched her hands and raised her head violently, “Why ah! Why did you choose Hayakawa! Why ah!”

The voice was suddenly an octave higher, with a sobbing edge to it.

Natsuki Arai was shocked on the spot.

Tears flowed out of Takahashi Midu’s eyes, this was the first time she had ever expressed her fondness for a person of the opposite sex.

“Why …… why can’t you like me!”
