Chapter 285 It’s the season of white photo albums again
"Why."
In the bathroom, Ayano Yui couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Why did Haruno stop me?"
She said with a trembling voice: "Am I the only one who can't do it?"
Obviously Miyazawa Maki is fine, and obviously Esaki Suguha is fine.
Even both of them can.
Even Mana Miyazawa has an unclear relationship with Haruno Sawayama in secret.
If that's the case, why can't I do it myself?
Obviously, the relationship between her and Haruno should be closer, so if that's the case, why is she the one being rejected now?
Even though she has lost so many times, she still has to remain calm and pretend to be magnanimous and not fussy, just because she hopes Haruno can be more lenient when it comes to her affairs.
Did you still get a rejection in the end?
The light in Ayano Yui's eyes slowly faded away, and her hands gradually loosened their grip, but she hadn't completely pulled them back yet.
"Wei, many things are not as simple as you think."
Seeing Ayano Yui looking so vulnerable, Sawayama Haruno became a little worried.
He continued to hold Ayano Yui's hand to prevent her from moving further, and at the same time began to persuade her.
"Between the two of us, let's not talk about what our feelings are for each other. My current situation alone is not as simple as I imagined."
Sawayama Haruno said helplessly: "You can see that there are only Maki and Suguha in plain sight, not to mention Mana who I haven't comforted yet."
There is even a Mine Shiori
No, let’s not talk about the other party for now.
Sawayama Haruno thought for a moment and advised: "You can also feel that I don't have any extra energy, so even if the relationship between us really has that tendency, I can't do it now."
“I’m very worry-free.”
Ayano Yui bit her lip and said in a hoarse voice: "I can also be like Suguha, why don't you agree?"
"because."
Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He wanted to say that the other party did not have the same extreme experience as Ezaki Suguha, and that Ayano Yui now had better choices, so there was no need to waste time on him.
However, when these words came to my lips, looking at the other person's serious eyes, I don't know why I felt like I couldn't say them.
"I don't have that kind of intention towards you, Wei. Even if your feelings for me are not an illusion, I can't respond to you."
In the end, Sawayama Haruno could only say bitterly: "So, I'm sorry."
"Even if there's no response, I just want to stay by Haruno's side as much as possible."
Ayano Yui muttered to herself.
Before she finished her words, she noticed that the strength in Sawayama Haruno's hand had loosened a little.
After realizing that she had enough opportunities to launch a surprise attack, she held her breath, and at the moment when Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth to continue persuading her, she suddenly reached out to find out what was going on.
"I"
His unfinished words were abruptly interrupted, and Sawayama Haruno stood there with a distorted face.
Under some kind of pressure, he couldn't help but let go of the hand that he had been holding on Ayano Yui.
However, the other party did not seem to intend to let him go, but decided to press the issue further.
"You, don't move."
Ayano Yui raised her face somewhat stubbornly, and emphasized every word seriously: "What Maki and Suguha can do, I can do too."
"I don't need any response from Haruno. It's fine even if it's just my one-sided effort, so."
"Is there anyone in there?"
".??"
"?!"
Sawayama Haruno and Ayano Yui were petrified on the spot, and they turned their heads to look outside the bathroom door while trembling.
With the sharp color difference between indoor and outdoor lights, they all clearly saw someone standing outside the door.
"Strange. Is there anyone inside?"
A somewhat lazy female voice came from outside.
You can tell from the voice that it's Maki Miyazawa's.
The other party seemed to be half asleep at the moment and not fully awake yet.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked twice in a row, "Is anyone inside?" while the light was on in the restroom.
"Maki."
Zeshan Haruno said stiffly: "I'm going to the toilet inside. Sorry. Please go to your room."
".whispering sound."
After hearing Sawayama Haruno's voice, Miyazawa Maki, who was still a little confused outside, suddenly became much more sober for some reason.
When she looked towards the bathroom where the light was still on, her face suddenly turned red for no reason.
"You're in there, there's nothing we can do."
"what?"
Sawayama Haruno responded dryly.
what happened?
Shouldn't Miyazawa Maki, who was in a daze, rely on her subconscious to run to the bathroom in her room, and then quickly return to the warm bed after finishing?
Why did you suddenly start chatting while standing outside the door?
Sawayama Haruno suddenly felt that something was wrong, and what made him even more nervous was that Ayano Yui took advantage of the great opportunity and secretly moved. An inexplicable electric current ran all the way from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Sawayama Haruno was numb all over, and even his tone of voice seemed to be trembling. Fortunately, Miyazawa Maki outside the door seemed to have her own little thoughts and did not notice Sawayama Haruno's embarrassment.
"Well, I don't think Wei is there. Do you know where she went?"
Outside the door, Miyazawa Maki rubbed her eyes, tried to cheer herself up, and asked a question inside.
She was the first one to fall asleep among everyone. Although she had a strange dream about getting married, after waking up, she felt that she had a good rest. She was now very energetic and not sleepy at all.
Um.
The things in the dream keep lingering in my mind.
It's not that I want to forgive Haruno, I just want to talk to him more, and vent some resentment that I don't know if I have.
"Wei?"
Sawayama Haruno looked at Ayano Yui who was sitting on the toilet seat with a stiff face. After thinking rapidly for a moment, he said tremblingly: "I wonder if she went back to sleep next door?"
"I see."
Miyazawa Maki thought about it and felt that what he said did make sense.
So she stopped worrying about this matter and turned to ask about another matter that concerned her greatly.
"Um, what you said this afternoon, is it true?"
"Eh?"
Sawayama Haruno suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The reason why he was sweating coldly was not because the other party was confirming with him whether the "proposal" was true, but because Ayano Yui sped up.
Right now, he seems to be somewhat unsuitable to answer questions in this regard.
"Ah yes. Ah. It's true."
“That’s right.”
The short-haired girl outside the door suddenly fell into a long silence.
It was so long that even Sawayama Haruno could hardly bear it anymore. Finally, the other party spoke.
"I didn't say I would agree to it. You should finish dealing with Mana's problem before telling me."
Outside the door, Maki Miyazawa muttered a few words as if complaining, but Sawayama Haruno, who was "facing a great enemy" at the moment, didn't pay any attention to what she said afterwards.
Fortunately, after speaking, Miyazawa Maki seemed to be shy and quickly left the bathroom door.
Only after hearing her enter the master bedroom and close the door did Sawayama Haruno completely relax.
Well, relaxation in two senses.
He looked at Ayano Yui who was sitting in front of him with a complicated expression. At this moment, the other party was like a victorious thief, with a somewhat morbid and satisfied smile on her face.
“I can do that, too.”
Ayano Yui murmured softly, "So, Haruno, please come closer to me."
Sawayama Haruno did not respond, he just looked at the other person with complicated eyes.
Childhood experiences are like a movie film, beginning to rewind rapidly in my mind.
When I took Mana back to Osaka; when I went back to Osaka during the break of my first year in high school; when I decided to move from Osaka to Tokyo and ended up having a fight with Ayano Yui.
I went to junior high school with Ayano Yui and secretly applied for Tokyo without telling her. When I carried Ayano Yui to elementary school after she fell and got injured while climbing a tree.
The first time I saw Ayano Yui, that young girl who was only four years old.
"only"
Sawayama Haruno spoke with some tiredness.
"Don't say anything."
Ayano Yui lowered her head, looked at her palms, and said softly: "I am already very happy now, so please don't speak again, Haruno."
"This last bit of fantasy, just consider it as a gift to me."
"Yeah." Sawayama Haruno responded softly.
For some reason, he felt even more upset and confused. He didn't know how to respond to the other person's feelings.
His reason told him that this must be wrong, but emotionally he couldn't do anything to give it up.
Obviously, he should have been more decisive before than he is now.
Was it influenced by other girls?
Sawayama Haruno didn't know.
All he knew was that just after he and Ayano Yui came out of the bathroom, Miyazawa Maki also came out of the bathroom not long after.
Fortunately, he turned off the kitchen light before lying back in bed.
Miyazawa Maki returned to bed in the dark and did not notice that Ayano Yui had come back.
It was just that she hugged Sawayama Haruno subconsciously.
The four people who were awake all had different complex emotions going through their hearts.
The next morning, it was the cold that woke Sawayama Haruno up.
He sat up somewhat tiredly, and after pulling the quilt that had been kicked away by Maki at some point back onto her, he began to observe the sleeping faces of the others.
Just like last night, when I got up and drank water, I was so peaceful.
But I feel like something is different.
Sawayama Haruno rubbed his face, then slowly stood up and walked towards the balcony in front of him.
When he pushed open the huge glass door and looked out, he was somewhat bewildered to find
——Tokyo, the season of White Album has finally arrived again.
