Chapter 237: Hanging out with Mana in the Library
After discussing important matters with Riho Morikawa, Haruno Sawayama also went home to rest.
He could start writing the second book at any time, so he was not in a hurry now. He planned to rest for a day or two before starting to write and conceive.
Other things also seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, in the past few days, the frequency of contact between Haruno Sawayama and Suguha Ezaki has gradually decreased. On the one hand, it is because there are other things to deal with, and on the other hand, it is because Suguha Ezaki is now reviewing very hard every day.
The time for her entrance examination is not far away.
Ayano Yui seemed to be affected by the competition. She hadn't seen anyone these past few days. Only when she saw a little light under the crack of the door when she returned home at night could she be sure whether the other person was at home.
The same thing happened to Mine Shiori. She took another day off from school, apparently because she was still busy with the procedures for renting out her apartment and looking at houses and moving. Sawayama Haruno did tell her to ask her to move with them, but the petite girl probably didn't take it to heart at all.
The only ones who were still the same as usual were probably the Miyazawa twins.
Miyazawa Maki was still carefree and laughing all day long. Whenever she had time, she would pull him to the bed in the bedroom, and when she was tired, she would start playing with Salmon Maru.
It seemed that the fact that Sawayama Haruno was dating other girls did not have much impact on her.
But this is a good thing, as it can make Sawayama Haruno feel less guilty.
So after a few days of peace, Sawayama Haruno took his laptop to the school library and began preparing to write his second book.
The University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus Library.
Miyazawa Mana looked at the man sitting opposite her with some surprise.
"Eh, is that so?"
"It's pretty much the same."
Sawayama Haruno took a sip from the water cup and said with a smile, "It seems that after finishing the work, I feel very relaxed for a while."
He just told Miyazawa Mana about taking a rest for the next two days.
Of course, that omitted Suguha Ezaki and the matter of Maki Miyazawa pestering him in the bedroom.
"You are indeed relaxed, but Shiori must be working hard, right?"
Miyazawa Mana smiled and teased, "No wonder she's always taking leave recently. But having said that, it's amazing that Shiori can work in the same publishing house as Haruno."
"There are many people around me who have made plans early."
Sawayama Haruno glanced at Miyazawa Mana and said, "Come to think of it, Maki seemed to have considered whether to go to college some time ago."
"University"
"If I repeat my studies and prepare for the exam, I still have a chance to get into a normal school, right?"
Miyazawa Mana pursed her lips and said helplessly: "But this will be very hard, and I have to go out and find a new tutoring institution."
"The cram school is a small matter, I'm just worried that this guy won't be able to stick with it."
Sawayama Haruno held the mouse and clicked a few times meaninglessly on the laptop.
"But she never mentioned it again after she said that. I guess it was just a sudden thought."
"."
"what happened?"
Seeing that Miyazawa Mana suddenly fell silent, Sawayama Haruno looked up at her in confusion.
I saw Miyazawa Mana put on a serious look and stared at me.
"I feel like Haruno really understands Maki better than I do right now."
".It's been a long time anyway."
"Yes."
Miyazawa Mana leaned forward a little, reached out and held Sawayama Haruno's right hand which was holding the mouse.
"Mana.?"
"I'm sorry." Miyazawa Mana's face suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "I can't bear it anymore."
"."
Sawayama Haruno didn't say anything, but just loosened his hand holding the mouse.
After opening his five fingers, he gently held Miyazawa Mana's hand.
Along with the body temperature, there was also a feeling as sweet as honey, which made Miyazawa Mana a little distracted.
Looking at Sawayama Haruno who was sitting opposite her, she mustered up her courage and quietly moved to the seat next to him.
"It won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
She said a little shyly.
I want to continue holding it for a while.
She is different from her sister now.
My sister can hold hands with Sawayama Haruno openly at home at any time. Not only can she hold hands, she can even do more excessive things.
But she could only take advantage of this time when it was difficult for others to notice and secretly have a sweet time with Sawayama Haruno.
Therefore, Miyazawa Mana cherishes this hard-won opportunity in her heart, and is also worried about whether it will cause trouble to the other party.
"It will not happen."
Feeling Miyazawa Mana's inner uneasiness, Sawayama Haruno gently squeezed her soft, boneless little hand.
"It just so happens that I haven't started writing yet, so I'll just take a break now and sort out my thoughts."
"That's good"
Miyazawa Mana smiled sweetly at him, then slowly leaned her head over.
Sawayama Haruno subconsciously adjusted his sitting position to make it easier for the other person to lean on him.
He was already very familiar with the distance his shoulders should maintain, and it could even be said that it was completely subconscious. As for whether this habit was preserved because of Miyazawa Mana or Miyazawa Maki, he couldn't tell.
"Mana's hands are still as cold as ever."
"I've been drinking flower tea and the like lately."
Miyazawa Mana buried her head in his shoulder and murmured, "Wouldn't it be better if it's a little cooler? Haruno obviously liked this feeling in the past."
"really."
Sawayama Haruno also relaxed and leaned closer to the other person.
Feeling the familiar scent that permeated the air all the time, Miyazawa Mana felt more at ease than ever before.
Looking at the blank laptop in front of them, she asked softly, "What kind of book will you write next?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Even if I do, I'll have to show it to the editor when the time comes."
Sawayama Haruno began to play with her slightly cold five fingers, and said casually: "I have been thinking a lot these days. I want to write another book in the same style as before, and I also want to change the style. I haven't thought it through yet."
According to the original style, I would naturally continue to read Haruki Murakami's books; if I want to change the style, I can also try the books of other literary masters, such as Natsume Soseki.
“It’s very hard.”
"It's okay. Most of the time I just think about it. After all, I'm just waiting for inspiration to come."
Sawayama Haruno said casually.
He was still playing with the other's delicate hands.
Miyazawa Mana's fingers are inexplicably slender and long, making people unable to let go of them.
Logically speaking, the fingers of twins should be exactly the same, but Maki's fingers gave him the feeling of being white and tender like green onions, making him want to take a bite.
Mana Miyazawa's feels more delicate. It is not only cool but also has its own fragrance, just like a snow lotus.
He has always liked playing with Miyazawa Mana's hands. After all, who can resist hands with a cooling effect?
Especially after he and Miyazawa Mana started a bold experiment by chance, these hands gradually turned into holding something tightly under certain special circumstances.
"Haruno."
While Sawayama Haruno was still playing with it carefully, Miyazawa Mana suddenly looked up at him.
There was a tenderness and affection in the other person's eyes.
Obviously, as the most compatible couple in the past, Miyazawa Mana also recalled the experiences during that period.
"Mana, you."
Sawayama Haruno blinked and looked at the other party's performance in some surprise.
No way, he just pressed the other person's hand twice and it turned out like this?
In fact, he didn't have much desire in his heart, but he couldn't help but miss the warm daily life he had experienced in the past.
"Have no idea."
Seeing Sawayama Haruno's surprised expression, Miyazawa Mana suddenly became a little angry.
She couldn't help but mutter, "It's all because Haruno has been touching my hand here. Besides, I have been patient for a long time, so..."
She couldn't continue speaking halfway through, and the girl's face was already flushed.
"Um, Haruno."
Miyazawa Mana suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"Can you," she lowered her eyes and whispered, "tell me a little more about what happened between you and Maki?"
".Here?"
Sawayama Haruno hesitated.
Um.
Although there are very few people in the library on weekends, it is a public place after all. Isn't it a bit too much?
"I'm just curious and want to listen."
Miyazawa Mana gave an unclear explanation.
However, she herself did not believe what she said.
But there was nothing she could do, since she had no resistance to Haruno, especially now that it met the "result" she had always wanted to see.
Just imagining it made her shudder.
"OK then"
Seeing that Miyazawa Mana had lowered her attitude, Sawayama Haruno, who always responded to soft words rather than hard ones, had no choice but to relent and agreed.
But this is in a library after all, and even if there is no one here, I still feel nervous.
Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno's voice was low enough.
Even if there were other people present, they would probably just think that they were two young lovers saying sweet words to each other.
Following Mana's instructions, Sawayama Haruno told her everything that had happened between him and Maki in the past few days, no matter what it was, even the trivial things in life.
It seems that this can also serve as a seasoning to make Mana happy.
The girl's face became more and more shy, and by the end of the conversation, her hand holding Haruno was shaking slightly.
"That, that."
Miyazawa Mana opened her mouth, took a breath and said, "Do you want to go to the second floor?"
Most of the books on the second floor of the library were about foreign history, which did not have a very wide audience. In addition, because it was the weekend, there was no one on the second floor.
At this time, there is no need to say anything when going to the second floor to do anything.
However, following Mana's wishes, Sawayama Haruno, who took her to the bathroom on the second floor, probably never imagined that once upon a time, a petite girl had secretly "punished" herself in this place.
