Chapter XXIII
Yu: " The Nao I know is cheerful and helpful. She should always be smiling…"
"It used to be like this…"
"In the past?"
"Ah…" Nao, she... It started from one summer, and her personality changed a lot."
You:
"What's wrong?"
...............
He turned over and lay on his side on the floor, staring at the wall quietly.
" Nao is in pain…Ever since that summer, she had been suffering alone…If this continues, we will only return to the past…"
As You thought about it, his eyes fell into deep thought. At the same time, there was a cry coming from the corridor outside the door. He could hear that it was Cang crying. He didn't expect him to have a fragile side, but You couldn't do anything for him. It was even a comfort.
The next morning.
(Phone ringing)
"Hey! Nao... Ah... Hello, Auntie!"
"It's Kasugano…What's wrong? You called me specially?"
"That... Actually, I wanted to ask about Nao's situation…Can you let her answer the phone?"
"Yes... Although I'm very willing, but... It might not be convenient for Nao now…"
"Eh? Is Nao sick?"
"Yeah, I've been feeling a little uncomfortable since yesterday."
"Is that so? Then let her rest at home today. If you need any help, please let me know, okay?”
"(Laughter) Thank you for your concern for Nao ~ I'll tell her, goodbye."
After Nao's mother hung up the phone, Nao happened to walk past her with her bag and was about to leave for school.
"Ah, Nao, is your body alright?”He said very worriedly,
"I'm fine…" Nao replied weakly as she put on her shoes.
" Kasugano-kun called just now and asked you to rest at home…"
Nao stopped at the door.
"Is that so…"
the other side.
"So that's the case…So this is what happened…" Gui lowered her head in worry.
" But don't worry, your brother is here. You can go back in peace." Cang smiled bitterly at Gui in the car.
Gui lowered his head and thought.
"Alright, then I'll go back first. If there's anything I can help with, just call me."
Cang smiled gently and gently stroked Gui's bangs.
"I got it. It's the same on your side. If you, Mom, and Dad have any inconvenience, you have to call me and let me know. Remember to pay more attention to your image, like Gui.
Such a cute girl. She's so beautiful and outstanding in front of others, but she's so sloppy in front of big brother. It won't be good if word gets out ~"
Cang gently stroked Gui's head and Gui gently moved his brother's hand away from his head.
" I know, I'll pay attention." She revealed a natural and beautiful smile.
"Okay, remember to go home with the championship, okay?”
"Yes, brother, you too... You have to be more concerned about Sister Qiong. She seems to be..."
" There's not much time left. It's time to go." The driver turned his head and said to Gui.
" Okay, brother, I'm leaving." Gui waved goodbye to her brother.
"Okay, say hi to Mom and Dad for me."
The car started moving and gradually moved further and further away from Cang. Cang waved his hand and watched the car go away.
After the car drove off, Cang's hands couldn't help but clench into fists.
"Cang, has your sister left…" At this moment, You and Qiong walked out of the house with their bags.
"Ah... "Yeah, I talked to her a little, nothing special." Cang tilted his head and smiled bitterly.
"In that case…Then let's go, while it's still early. You handed Cang's bag to him and walked in front.
Qiong exchanged a glance with him before following after him.
Cang was just about to follow, but he seemed to have noticed her gaze and turned around to look not far away.
Nao was hiding in front of her house, deliberately avoiding them.
Cang quietly watched her, thinking.
At this moment, Cang's hand was held. He turned his head and saw Qiong's calm face.
Qiong didn't say anything and just held his hand as they followed.
noon
When it was lunchtime, generally speaking, when it was lunchtime, they would go to a good place to have lunch with their friends, classmates, or boyfriend and girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Nao went to the small forest in the school alone.
Close friends and couples from the school gathered in the small forest. Among them, the number of couples was the highest. Couples who loved each other ate lunch together in this small forest, adding to each other's feelings. They fed the man's bento, hugged each other, kissed each other, and deepened their feelings. Commonly known as: Spreading dog food
Nao sat alone under a tree with a large bento on her lap.
She looked at the bento and pondered. Then, she opened the packaging.
Just as she opened the bento box, she seemed to see You's figure in the distance.
"Ah... Xiao You..." For a moment, she wanted to stop him and eat with him, but she gave up that idea. She knew that she could not have lunch with You again, and she could not talk to her again. It was only because she was too persistent with You that she made another mistake.
Nao stood up and walked towards the teaching building with her lunchbox.
few minutes later
Nao walked up the stairs with a gloomy expression and returned to her sophomore class.
Just as she reached the second grade floor, she turned the corner and saw You standing at the entrance of their class.
Yuu was talking to a female student in Naxu's class. He didn't know exactly what they were talking about, but Naxu was still subconsciously hiding behind the wall and spying on him.
"Xiao You…"
You bowed to the female student in disappointment and then left dejectedly.
Nao's heart softened. She took a few steps forward and stood up, but the bamboo skewer in the lunchbox suddenly fell to the ground.
"Ah…"
"Hmm?" Yuu heard the voice and turned around to see Nao.
They looked at each other
Nao stood rooted to the spot, not daring to run.
Yuu didn't say anything. She walked over, bent down, picked up the bamboo stick, and handed it to Nao.
"Is your body alright?"
" Mm." Nao hesitantly took the bamboo stick.
You seemed to have taken a breath
"That's great…Well, after school..."
"Ah! I almost forgot! I still have to prepare for the next class!”Nao quickly ran into the classroom.
"Ah, Nao!" He wanted to stop her, but Nao had already closed the door.
Nao leaned against the door and raised her head to catch her breath.
"As expected, I still…"
afternoon
"1876 yen in total," the cashier said very naturally.
" Ah!" Nao snapped back to her senses and quickly took out her wallet.
She took out 2000 yen and handed it to the cashier. After the cashier gave Nao her change, Nao walked out of the convenience store with a bag of daily necessities and closed the door.
As soon as he walked out, he stopped and looked at the watermelon at the entrance of the convenience store.
She couldn't help but recall the time when she played the game of spitting watermelon seeds with Yuu when she was young. Nao revealed a nostalgic smile.
Puff, puff, puff.
At this moment, a sound came from the watermelon stall. Nao snapped back to her senses and looked over.
She smiled at Nao and patted the round watermelon gently.
"Let's play again, the game of spitting watermelon seeds, just like in the past."
"Little…Xiao You..." Nao looked very surprised.
" It wasn't easy for me to reconcile with Naxo. This will only bring us back to the past. I'll apologize to Qiong properly and beg for her understanding. I'll get her to approve of our relationship. Cang will also help, so…"
"Xiao You…" Nao was a little relieved.
"That's how it should be."
"Eh?"
You suddenly leaned her face over, revealing a natural smile.
" The Nao I know should always have a smile on her face. That way, she'll be cuter."
Tears flowed out of the corners of Nao's eyes, and the exact same scene appeared in her mind.
(Author: Allier? Why do I feel like the plot is a little confusing? Do you think so too?)
Nao smiled happily as tears streamed down her face.
On the other side…
Cang opened the door and Qiong followed behind.
The two of them took off their shoes and put their bags aside.
After Qiong took off his shoes, he untied his hair band, and his long silver hair fell down.
"Go take a shower first. I'll make dinner tonight."
"Oh?"
Cang was stunned as he looked at Qiong in surprise.
In the end, Qiong was taking off his clothes behind him and changing into his pajamas. Qiong turned to him and said,
"Don't turn around, you idiot!"
" Ah, I'm sorry." Cang immediately turned his back to her, his face carrying the shame of a man.
"Today…What happened today? He said that you were here for dinner…" Cang asked intermittently.
" Can't I?" Qiong asked calmly as he turned to the side with his pajamas.
"Ah, no, it's just... I was a little surprised that Qiong would take the initiative to make dinner or something."
Cang's back was facing her as he scratched his face and said,
"There's nothing strange about it. Moreover, if I keep letting you cook, I'll get tired of it sooner or later."
Qiong said as he put on his pajamas
"Eh, Beiqiong, to be honest…"I'm a little sad ~" Cang said with a bitter smile.
Just as Cang finished speaking, Qiong was also dressed. The two of them turned around and Cang took out the apron that he usually wore from the kitchen. He walked back and handed it to Qiong hesitantly.
"Then I'll leave it to you…" There was a hint of worry in his tone.
" Yeah." Qiong took the apron, sniffed it around her waist, and tied it up.
"Then I'll go take a shower first…" Cang Xiang felt as if he had left the scene of surprise, but just as he reached the bathroom door, he stopped and heard Qiong's voice.
"Yes! Well... Yes!"
Cang turned around and asked,"Why..." What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing…" Qiong didn't say anything and turned his head away.
Cang didn't pay much attention to it and turned around to walk into the bathroom.
..............
(Shower)(Shower)
Cang raised his head despite being showered by the shower head. His hair and body had long been soaked by the warm water.
Cang couldn't help but use his hands to support himself against the wall, lowering his head and thinking.
"Ha ~ What should I do to make Dome agree with You and Nao? And what does Kyu mean?"
Cang picked up the shampoo on the shelf beside him and squeezed a little on his palm. He casually rubbed his hands on his head.
After scratching his head until it was full of bubbles, he walked to the shower head and took a shower.
"Hah…"
At this moment, Cang seemed to hear the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen and couldn't help but smile in relief.
"Looks like you don't need my help."
"How about this…I can rest assured…"
Just as Cang was sighing in relief, Qiong's shout suddenly came from the kitchen.
"Ah! Well..."
Cang realized that something was wrong! She rushed out of the bathroom and opened the kitchen door!
"Qiong! What's wrong?"
“........”
The two of them were stunned and looked at each other.
Actually, Qiong had just accidentally fallen into his hands.
Qiong couldn't help but look down and saw something.
She blushed and turned her face away.
"To... At least put on your clothes, idiot!"
Cang Li subconsciously covered his lower body and felt like he had run back to the bathroom!
few hours later
" I'm back." You opened the door and took off her shoes. She put down her bag and walked into the kitchen. She saw Cang and Qiong sitting at the dining table.
Both of them blushed and looked into each other's eyes.
" Ah You, you're back!" Cang said in embarrassment.
"Ah, I'm back. What's wrong? She didn't look too good. Did she have a fever?”You tilted her head and asked in confusion,
"No... It's nothing!" Qiong said in a slightly angry tone. He pouted slightly and picked up his chopsticks to eat bit by bit.
"Yes, it's really nothing. You, you're overthinking…" Cang also picked up his chopsticks and ate bit by bit.
You looked at the two of them in confusion.
“..........”
“..........”
You seemed to have suddenly thought of something, but her surprised expression turned into a gratified smile.
The next morning.
The three of them put on their school uniforms and carried their bags. They walked in front and opened the door.
The three of them were stunned as soon as they stepped out of the door. Nao stood at the door with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Xiaoyou, Xiaoqiong, Cangjun, let's go to school together."
Seeing that Nao had regained her energy, she smiled in relief.
When Qiong Yi saw Naxu, he frowned slightly.
At this moment, Cang quietly held her hand and smiled at her naturally.
After Qiong saw it, he could only reluctantly accept it.
Nao also revealed a smile of relief.
At noon…
"Yes…" Qiong was very reluctant to have lunch with Naxu and the others, but they actually took the initiative to come to her class to have lunch with her.
He sat down opposite Qiong and opened his lunch box.
"Jiang Jiang ~ Let's eat together." There were vegetable omelets, eggs, and sushi-et cetera in the lunchbox.
Qiong looked at the lunch unwillingly. He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out of the classroom.
"I don't want to eat."
However, he had only taken a few steps when Cang pulled him back.
Qiong glanced at Qiong's obvious signal and sighed before sitting back down.
You and Nao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In the afternoon…
"I'm back!"
" Oh, You, you're back so quickly." Cang immediately went to the door to welcome him.
"Sorry to disturb you ~" Nao poked her head out of the door and walked in with a bag of fruits and vegetables.
" Oh, you even bought these? How can I accept this? Nayoshi is so nice!" Cang bent down to look at the vegetables, and at the same time, he glanced at Qiong, who was peeking at the kitchen door.
" I took a lot. It might not look good, but the taste is first-class," Nao sighed.
"Sigh, it looks delicious. Why don't we cook some corn today?”You looked at Qiong, who was standing at the kitchen door. Qiong walked back to his room without saying anything.
Cang did not stop him this time, as he couldn't force him too much. When Nao saw this, she felt a little dejected.
After a while, Yuu sent Nao to the door.
"Nao…"
Nao shook her head in the face of Yuu's worry, still smiling.
"It's okay. I never thought of regretting it."
" Yeah, until Qiong Ken forgives us, keep it up," You encouraged naturally.
"Let me send you there."
At this moment, Qiong was leaning against the window in the infirmary and peering at them. His face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell if he was angry or in a bad mood.
At this moment, Cang walked past her and leaned against the window.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"It's nothing…It was just that…"It's just a little uncomfortable to see them like this," Qiong said quietly while looking out the window.
Cang lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Qiong, I…"
Just as he was about to speak, Qiong placed his index finger on Cang's mouth.
"Answer me in the future. Before that…"
"Eh? " Hmm." Cang turned his head and saw Qiong's extremely calm side profile.
" Actually, I don't really hate Nao…It's just that…"
The sky gradually darkened, and the stars in the sky were faintly visible.
(I really didn't dare to 'write more' for fear that I wouldn't pass the review)
Chapter XXIII
finished
(Author: I feel like I've written too much again. You might ask me how Cang and Qiong progressed so quickly!) Also, why was there so few words in this chapter? Actually, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I'm already halfway through the plot. Also, I'm in a bad mood and I didn't pass the review. Because according to the timeline of each love line in the anime, the male lead should have already become a lover with the female lead. I have added the content of three lines. The Ichihaba line, the Fairy Line, and the Nao Line are combined together. The story of these three lines is already halfway through. In the anime, the story line also becomes a lover halfway through, so you should understand what I'm saying. In other words, the story of this book is already halfway through. However... I still plan to write about the relationship plot of the Firmament in the future. Now, I have to solve the relationship route of You first.）
Oh! That's right! Remember to tip him! Fresh flowers! Submit! There were also comments. I feel so empty without any comments.
