Chapter 184 – Sakurajima only listens to Aoi.

……

隔天，天气晴朗。

几人跟昨晚约定的一样，准备去山上露营，苍井爷爷一再确认山上没有危险后，高桥美都与早川惠子这才放心下来，几个女生在门口等着，而苍井夏树则是拉着一个小推车，上面用牛筋绳绑着一个巨大的尼龙袋。

“喔。”莉那很惊奇，上去伸手拍了拍尼龙袋一侧，硬硬的。

“拿了点黑炭，看看过会能不能捞到些鱼啥的，没有的话，我还包着一大块的猪五花肉，以及一些蔬菜，吃的方面是不用担心了。”

“夏树你想得还真周到呐。”绫乃凑上来夸奖道，看了两眼后，用手指一指，“我能坐上去待一会吗？”

“啊呜啊呜！”莉那听后也立马举手示意。

“嗯……在平地上推你们一会倒是没问题。”

“太好啦！莉那！”绫乃一阵狂喜，向莉那张开双手，莉那见状扑了上去，绫乃一把抱起莉那，随即一屁股坐在尼龙袋前的空地上，双腿盘起，手指径直指向前方，“出发！”

莉那照猫画虎，跟着起身，一脸认真地将右手食指指向前方。

Well ……

苍井夏树没说什么，随即就一直推着两人前行。

就跟他记忆中一样的路线，先是经过一家牛棚，一个老大娘在那里准备喂牛吃饲料，苍井夏树多嘴问一句这里是不是丢了一只奶牛，而老大妈却说没有，继续前进，应该就是那口井了。

推着小车步行百米，果然在拐角处看见那口井，但周围堆满大大小小的石头，井口变得脏兮兮的，看来现在这口井也已经没人用了。

“以前我记得我们全村人喝水都要靠这口井，那时候没有装管道，每天从早到晚都有人来这打水，没想到就这几年，这口井就已经荒了。”苍井夏树唏嘘道。

“夏树……”早川往他身边靠近了一步。

“这说明生活越来越好了嘛，你说对吧？夏树。”坐在小推车上的绫乃嬉皮笑脸地转头反问道。

“嗯，你说得对，现在生活便捷了，总是好的。”苍井夏树点头道。

一行人很快来到山脚，据苍井爷爷说，那个天然湖就只在阶梯上去大概两百米的高度，找了两三分钟，看见一条延绵向上的石阶，幸好石阶旁有个斜坡，斜坡上还做了一节节锯齿，防止拖行的行李滑落下去，也算十分贴心了。

接下去就是体力活，爬山不同于在路面上走路，大约十分钟后，几人终于看见一个平台，苍井夏树喘着粗气攀上最后一步，转头看向身后几人，樱岛杏完全虚脱，趴在龙樱的背上，论体力樱岛可能比莉那强不到哪去。

“终于到了吗？”高桥美都也气喘吁吁道。

本以为会是一个小平台，但上来后才发现是一片树林，中央有一条大理石铺成的小道，周围大树上缠绕着的印有「禁止翻越」的警戒线给予几个女生很大的安全感，这里并不像她们想象中那么老旧。

苍井夏树有点推不动车了，但身为男生就不能说不行！就只能这样硬撑着，刚刚硬拉着小推车上来，他现在两只手臂都没了力气，脖颈处的筋都爆了出来。

“看！是湖啊！”绫乃第一个大喊，指向前方树与树之间隐约看见的那一片澄蓝色的湖泊，她的精力似乎是无限的，尽管额头冒着汗，但转头拉上早川的手，“我们赶紧上去看看吧！”

早川顿时慌乱，其实她挺想留下来，跟夏树待一会时间的，突然被绫乃拉住手，慌忙间目光一直在绫乃与身后的夏树身上来回转悠，最后还是被拉着越走越远。

苍井夏树见到湖泊，内心也是一松劲，手上力道一弱，小推车的推杆立刻撞在他的小腹上，险些岔气，而这时，龙樱一只手搭在推杆上，整辆小推车就跟形同无物般向前匀速前进。

一米八二的身高在背脊弯曲，即将筋疲力尽的苍井夏树眼前显得是那样的高大，高大到甚至遮挡住那太阳照入枝叶间的阳光，一瞬间，他的脑袋里只冒出一句话：男友力满满。

“没必要逞强，夏树，你就这点太倔了。”龙樱缓缓说道。

而这话她背上的樱岛也听得一清二楚，因为虚脱，脸色都变得更加惨白，随即嘴角略略滑出一个弧度：“苍井你也有被别人说教的时候嘛。”

苍井夏树白了她一眼。

龙樱转过头：“这不是说教，尽管是逞强，但夏树逞强的样子，不也挺男人的嘛。”

“是，能够坚持到最后，也难怪龙樱这么喜欢你了。”樱岛杏毫不避讳地直白道。

“……”苍井夏树无言以对。

反观龙樱，自信的眼神此时也稍稍黯淡，视线看向地面上飘落的树叶，轻声说道：“嗯，是呢。”

龙樱也是个直接的人，她并不能听出樱岛是在用调侃的语气，她只是很直接的把自己的心意又表明了一遍而已。

苍井夏树继续默声，三人间只能听见小推车轮子滚动的声音以及周围无比嘈杂的蝉鸣声。

“吼吼。”樱岛杏用手捂了捂嘴，随即又问道，“我记得龙樱你之前第一次向苍井表白时说过一番话，说是如果三次表白都被苍井拒绝的话，就会放弃他，那如今已经是几次了呢？”

“樱岛！”苍井夏树皱眉道。

“两次了。”龙樱转头微笑道，她似乎毫不介意这个话题，继续推车向前。

苍井夏树望着她的脸。

有时候他也完全读不懂龙樱心里在想什么，但唯一能确定的是，她对恋爱的理解是炽热且强烈的，无法掩盖或者抑制的情感。

“那既然你这么喜欢苍井，为什么又要给自己定下三次的规则，难不成，是电影看太多了吗？”樱岛继续问道。

这个问题下，龙樱前进的步伐明显放缓，注意力有点分神，作为武道家，任何时候分神都是大忌，但现在，她却不自觉任由意识游离开去。

“大概……是觉得这会对夏树造成困扰吧……我想三次已经很多了，嗯，就是这样。”龙樱用力地点点头，自己认可了自己这一说法。

原来是这样嘛。

苍井夏树状态逐渐恢复，但不知为何，还感觉脸部烫烫的，吸了吸鼻子，并没有说话，这气氛无异于是又经历了一次表白，而龙樱背上的樱岛把整张脸埋进背脊，眼睛微微迷起，可即使这样，也能看出她长长睫毛下，瞳孔的光泽。

“诶……很有趣呐，说不定，我也应该承认你的存在也说不定。”樱岛杏随后说道。

“存在？”龙樱有点不解。

“什么事也没有～”樱岛杏抬起头，而这时三人已经穿过树林，那一片碧蓝的湖面终于出现在她们的眼前。

好漂亮……

……

苍井夏树之前支过帐篷，只是有些记不清，还好有说明书，要不然光是支个帐篷都要花费特别长的时间。

樱岛杏的体力依然没有恢复，暂时先躺在尼龙袋上休息，眼睛直勾勾望着淡蓝色的天空，偶尔还能看见几只结伴成群的鸟类飞过。

Long Sakura and Ayano is responsible for catching fish, only to see the two rolled up their pants legs, bare legs, a little close to the lake, with their feet to measure the depth of the water, shallow water is only seventy to eighty centimeters, as long as you do not go to the deep water area, there is nothing to do, calmly on the surface of the lake floats a large piece of green algae, from a distance to look at the blue surface of the lake, close up to look at it will become a turquoise color.

“Quack, quack.” There were duck calls on the lake.

This attracted the attention of the two, Ayano was still underwater petting a small fish when she looked up to see a plumply feathered mallard duck roaming the lake not far away.

“It’s duck da!” Ayano said excitedly.

Aoi Natsuki looked over in search of the sound and saw that the mallard was almost in the middle of the lake, and immediately shouted, “It’s too dangerous! Leave it alone!”

Ayano instantly let out a disgruntled cry.

“Ryuusakura, do you have a way to get that duck to come over?” Ayano could only pin her hopes on Ryuusakura, who had the highest force value.

However, Long Sakura shook her head, “Sorry, the only thing I’m not very good at is water.”

“Well ……” then it seems only possible to spare the duck.

After ten minutes, Aoi Natsuki came back from the woods picking up some dried pine nuts, which were best used as an ignition source to light the black charcoal, pulling out his lighter, a little goes a long way.

Dragon Sakura and Ayano harvested a lot, although Dragon Sakura is not good at water, but her ability to insert fish is first-class, one inserted one accurate, poked several big fish in a row, in addition to the fish there are also two loaches, I don’t know how she found it, directly grabbed it out of the silt, and used the bones of the index finger and middle finger to jam it’s head, although the body has been bobbing, it just can’t be broken free.

After bringing back the ingredients, the two girls started to wash their feet first in the fresh water area, Aoi Natsuki hadn’t paid attention to it, but when he saw it, he still unconsciously looked his eyes towards them with frequency, which was understandable as an adolescent boy, right?

“Hey, what are you looking at?” Takahashi Mito suddenly stepped in front of her with a grimace.

Aoi Natsuko, who had been spotted, immediately averted her eyes and went back to what she was doing.

A couple of fish soaked in marinade, for the time being, for half an hour, and he washed his hands, turning to see Sakurajima already huffing and puffing on his nylon bag, the guy, now that the days and nights were reversed.

Aoi Natsuki walked up and reached out to shake her awake, Sakurajima Apricot just glanced at him with her afterglow, followed closely by a doting smile and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.

“You’re going to catch a cold if you fall asleep like that.”

“Well …… then you can sleep with me in your arms.” Sakurajima Apricot murmured lazily.

“I’m not kidding, you can really catch a cold.”

“I’m not kidding either, you really do sleep with me in your arms.” Sakurajima Apricot lifted her arms feebly and reached out to him, a gesture that was already waiting for him to embrace her.

“Sakurajima!”

Aoi Natsuki’s voice became slightly louder.

Sakurajima Apricot also finally stopped joking and slowly supported her body to sit up, her eyes still closed, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Her hair was all messy from sleeping, and Natsuki Aoi sighed and said, “Don’t sleep during the day, you’ll be able to eat soon, and sleep at night if you have to.”

“Uh-huh.” Sakurajima answered dully, followed by a slow turn of her head, her eyes opening a little slit as she cocked her head and said in a lazy voice, “See, don’t I listen to you?”

As a beautiful girl, her sleeping posture is devastatingly lethal, especially the sexiness displayed when she is pampered and languid as well as that exquisite sleeping face, sometimes Aoi Natsuki doesn’t know where on earth she learned these words, also from galgame? Obviously, she hasn’t had a boyfriend once!

Aoi Natsuki didn’t say anything at first, then he reached out his right hand and slowly approached Sakurajima’s head, Sakurajima was a bit puzzled for the first second, but accepted the fact that Aoi wanted to touch his head, it’s only fair to give a male a bit of control once in a while to give him a little bit of a winning feeling.

The corners of Sakurajima’s mouth turned up and he offered to stick his head over.

But who knew that the next moment, Aoi Natsuki would be on her forehead with a headbutt.

“It hurts!” Sakurajima shouted, covering his forehead.

“Are you an idiot? Such nonsense, do you want me to be locked up in the police station for a month?”

Sakurajima Apricot continued to rub her forehead, a touch of sadness showing in her eyes, but when her gaze looked into the distance, her eyes instantly became as usual, gesturing downward with her chin.

“What’s wrong?” Aoi Natsuki turned her head, only to realize that not far from the small table, Hayakawa was looking at the two loaches in the basin with a difficult face.

“It’s time for you to come out.” Sakurajima Apricot said.

“Uh-huh.” Natsuki Aoi answered and stood up, but after doing so, a wave of doubt welled up inside him and he looked down and back at Sakurajima, who smiled sweetly at him.

This situation …… is not the same as when the cherry blossom viewing, it is when she is with Sakurajima, she will suddenly let go and urge herself to go to the side of Hayakawa, although even if she does not say, she will find an excuse to do so, but from her mouth to actively say it, this mood is not quite the same.

That Hayakawa first, himself as the second, that so we all marry you as a harem, the first time I heard it was very absurd, the second and third time remained the same, but by now there are at least more than thirty times or more, and somehow, Aoi Natsuki has begun to gradually less and less to correct her on this point, obviously, obviously so impractical.

Isn’t liking a pure thing?

Totally elusive.

Aoi Natsuki blinked, what level of liking did Sakurajima talk about ……
