[You didn't expect that Wu Xia actually brought you ice cream. You realized the girl's feelings, and her subsequent words proved this.]
[You were surprised at how quickly this relationship progressed. You thought it would be a long-term tug-of-war because the girl was a little vague about this kind of thing.]
[You see, it was precisely because of this innocence that the girl did not question, did not deliberately ignore, and did not carefully verify. She followed the desire in her heart and launched an attack directly.]
[You didn't agree to her, not because you didn't want to, but because the girl's hypnotic setting conflicts with the relationship you are about to have.]
[You are curious about how the girl will handle this conflict. This is your little test.]
[The girl completely forgot about it.]
[Maika is a serious child, but also a careless child. She is serious when she realizes something, but it is difficult for her to realize and remember something.]
[She had no intention of getting married for the time being, nor did she understand the beauty of relationships between men and women. This was something far away from her, and she soon drowned it in the sweetness of ice cream and cake.]
[However, this incident and this decision still left a mark in her heart. She became closer to you and less defensive.]
[This incident is a shovel that widens the river of your emotions. ]
[You didn't test the girl further. You had plenty of time. Wuxia was still a junior high school student.]
[The leaves of the bushes in the courtyard of the apartment have turned yellow, and the treetops of the trees on both sides of the road have become sparse. Autumn is coming, and the high school entrance examination is getting closer. ]
[Ruri and Kojima are preparing for the exam nervously. Even without your influence, they still decide to come to Misaki. ]
[Wu Xia is still having fun all day long. Her petite hands are either in yours or holding desserts and game consoles.]
[As long as they do not make serious mistakes during their school years and do not repeat a grade due to attendance or test scores, students from Tsukimisato Junior High School can be promoted directly to the High School. ]
[Wu Xia is not planning to go to another school. She thinks it would be nice to be your junior.]
[In winter, Wuxia was successfully promoted, but Liuli and Xiaojiu both failed. ]
[You didn't exert any influence. On the one hand, you sighed for Liuli Xiaojiu's failure in the exam, and on the other hand, you were happy that Wuxia finally got into high school. ]
[You think it's time to take further action. ]
[The day before the opening ceremony, Wuxia got a custom-made sailor suit. She put it on and asked if it looked good on you.]
Memory scenes emerge.
In April, the days are not hot and the nights are not cold. The cherry trees have lost their petals and the river beside the school has returned to the blue color of the sky.
Nan Youxi was dozing off on the sofa when she was awakened by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
He sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and wondered who was visiting at this time.
The doorbell kept ringing, pressed rapidly by the visitors outside. There were not many people who would ring the doorbell like this, except Xin'ai and Wuxia. Nan Youxi quickly identified the suspect.
He opened the door and it was indeed Wu Xia standing in the corridor.
"Where are your keys?" Nan Youxi asked.
"I forgot to bring it." Wu Xia stuck out her tongue. Being forgetful is one of her good qualities.
"Didn't you put your keys on your phone?"
Minami Yuki stepped aside to let the girl enter the entrance. The girl, who often forgets things, tied her keys to the pendant on her phone so that she would not forget them.
"I just forgot to bring my cell phone." Wu Xia pouted and said depressedly.
It was common to forget to bring a cell phone, but it was rare that she would remember it on the subway. The subway had already started, and she was too lazy to look back. She continued her journey and came to Minami Youxi's apartment.
The mobile phone, the most important external organ for modern people, is not important to Wu Xia. She does not need a mobile phone to relieve boredom, nor does she have anyone to keep in touch with at all times.
Her slight frustration only lasted for a moment before she reflected on the purpose of her visit.
"Never mind that, look here!" She lifted the hem of her skirt and proudly showed her sailor uniform to Nan Youxi.
"Clang clang, it's JK who is still cooling off!" The girl turned around and imitated the poses in cartoons. She put her hands behind her skirt and kicked the ground with the toes of her loafers, making a crisp sound.
"What kind of metaphor is that?" Nan Youxi asked with a smile.
“It means freshly baked!”
"Cold air only exists in cold storage. How can food taken out of the cold storage be called fresh? If there is any steam coming out, it should be hot steam."
"Hehe, hot snacks are evil, ice cream is king, and ice cream that comes out of the cold is the best!"
"Then there's no pizza for you today."
"You actually ordered pizza, I want to eat it!"
Wuxia's attention was immediately drawn to the pizza, and her stubbornness and persistence quickly gave way in the face of delicious food.
"It will take a while to arrive. What's in the bag?" Nan Youxi looked at the cloth bag in her hand.
"By the way, I came here to show you this!" Wu Xia did not answer. She thought of the main matter from the things in the cloth bag.
She dropped the bag on the floor, raised her head and chest, revealing her sailor uniform once again.
There is not much difference between the sailor uniforms for junior high school and high school, with only a few minor changes, the most important of which is that the skirts are shorter, only reaching below the knees.
When girls in sailor uniforms walk, their cute knees are faintly visible under their skirts.
If it were someone else, Nan Youxi could look at it for a long time, but he had looked at Wuxia's knees too many times and for too long, and it no longer felt new to him.
"It looks pretty good." Nan Youxi replied.
"What do you mean by good-looking or not? I just want you to recognize your own status! Hurry up and call me junior!" Wu Xia stretched out her little fist and gently hit Nan Youxi on the chest.
She held her head high and stuck out her small chest, as if "school girl" was a respectable title.
Nan Youxi was speechless. Wuxia, who could be called a girl, was no different from when she was a girl, both physically and mentally. When other girls got a new uniform, they would be most concerned about whether it looked good or not, but Wuxia was thinking about playing games with seniors and juniors.
"Okay, come in, junior sister." Nan Youxi turned and went to the bedroom.
"Yes, senior!" Wuxia took off her loafers, put on her own slippers, and followed Nan Youxi happily.
The sofa where she always sat in junior high school was no longer worthy of her status. She threw herself on Nan Youxi's bed, her skirt lifted up, revealing a hint of blue, and then fell on her thighs.
She skillfully took out Nan Youxi's handheld game console from the drawer beside the bed and opened the game.
"The pizza is almost here." Nan Youxi glanced at the screen of the handheld game console and found that it was an online battle game, reminding her to pay attention to the time.
"It doesn't matter. I can defeat the opponent in just ten minutes." The girl was full of confidence.
Twenty minutes later, the girl frowned, looking at the steaming pizza on the table, and then at the still stalemate game situation.
She quickly found a way to have the best of both worlds. She got off the bed, walked to the sofa and sat down, resting her head on Nan Youxi's legs.
Nan Youxi looked at the girl's cherry-colored tongue tip, resisted the urge to pinch it to teach her a lesson, and rolled a piece of pizza into a long strip and stuffed it into Wuxia's lips.
Wuxia bit down hard and chewed happily.
The girl had a small stomach, so she was satisfied with just one piece, and she issued her next command: "Water."
Nan Youxi picked up the oolong tea on the table and poked the straw into her mouth.
The sound of the girl sucking on the straw was very clear.
After eating and drinking, the girl still couldn't calm down. She moved her legs and turned over. The situation on the screen finally became clear and she was about to win.
The more serious you need to be at this time, you can't be distracted by doing other things, such as scratching.
"My legs are a little itchy, help me scratch them." She rubbed her legs together to try to stop the itch, but instead the itch spread to the other leg. She could only ask the boy next to her for help.
Nan Youxi did not refuse and took the initiative to touch the pair of white and slender legs.
He felt like he was touching a cloud. He knew that real clouds did not feel like this, but only the image of a cloud could describe his feelings.
He had not bothered to stare at Wuxia's knees before, because he could touch that part which was softer than other parts.
Scenes like today's have happened countless times in his time with Wu Xia.
At the beginning, he was worried and cautious. He thought this might be a trap set by Wuxia. Once he touched it, Wuxia would say that the Nan family had an ancient rule and that once he touched it, she would have no choice but to marry him.
Of course, the little fool Wuxia didn't have such complicated thoughts. After her hands returned safely several times, Nan Youxi became bolder.
"It's the legs, where are you touching!" Wu Xia raised her head and bumped into Nan Youxi's lower abdomen.
"You got the wrong direction." Nan Youxi turned her palm back and placed it in the correct position.
He looked at Wu Xia who was lying on his legs. There was no shyness on the girl's face, only the seriousness of playing the game. This was not bluffing, nor was it playing hard to get. This idiot didn't feel shy at all.
When she first discovered this, Minami Yuki felt a little disappointed, because this meant that the girl would not get steamy and roll her eyes because of his words and actions. In film and television works, boys and girls are always shy because of words and bodies, and this emotional pattern seems to have been tied to love itself.
He quickly corrected his concept. There is no formula for love, and there is no need to imitate other people's paths. The core of love is companionship and to resist the loneliness deep in one's heart. He and Wuxia already have this core.
After getting used to this kind of dance, he felt the benefits of not being shy. This frankness was more wonderful than the contradictory and reluctant shyness.
He could touch Wuxia as easily as he could touch himself. Wuxia's body was like his, and his body was like Wuxia's body. The girl would often suddenly hug him and lie on his lap, just like now.
He thought, maybe Wuxia no longer mentioned marriage and dating because they had already crossed the boundaries of the relationship drawn by marriage and dating.
Sometimes, Nan Youxi felt that he and Wuxia were already an old married couple, otherwise, how could their intimacy be so natural.
Wuxia stopped complaining about being itchy, but Nan Youxi didn't take his hand back, but just left it there. He finished eating the pizza with his other hand and wiped off the grease with a wet tissue.
"Won!"
Wu Xia suddenly raised the handheld device, scaring Nan Youxi so much that her hand trembled and she slipped into the valley.
The girl turned over, put down the handheld game console, and stretched her sore palms. This game lasted exceptionally long, so long that her chest, which was pressed against the sofa when she was lying down, felt a little stuffy.
She pressed it twice, but her hands were sore and she didn’t want to move anymore. She looked up at Nan Youxi and said, “Give me a massage.”
Even through two layers of clothing, the request was still surprising. His mind hesitated, but his hands moved quickly.
Wu Xia smiled with satisfaction and opened the game again.
"Don't you care about your bag?" Nan Youxi asked.
When the girl came in, he asked what was in the cloth bag, but the girl did not answer. Until now, the cloth bag is still placed in the corridor at the entrance.
"Ah, there's a dress underneath!" Wu Xia realized that she had forgotten something.
She explained, "I'll be wearing the uniform tomorrow, and I didn't have time to wash it, so I put it away and changed into a dress when I was going to show it to you. I forgot!"
Looking at the game she had just opened, and then looking at Nan Youxi in front of her, Wuxia smiled again and begged the boy: "Youxi, help me get it."
Nan Youxi withdrew her hand, stood up, and retrieved her clothes from the entrance.
"Help me change." Wu Xia put her legs on the small table, her eyes fixed on the screen of the game console.
Her words did not surprise Nan Youxi. Nan Youxi first spread out the dress and then took off the girl's pleated skirt.
[After nearly a year of getting along, Wuxia and your relationship has made great progress. The word "close" is no longer enough to describe you two. You feel like a newlywed couple.]
[You like this innocent and straightforward girl, you like her straightforward words, you like her unconstrained emotions, you like her frankness towards you...]
[The more you like her, the more worried you are. You know, being forgotten or hidden by a girl must be a very serious matter.]
[You haven't figured out what that thing is yet. Ichinose Shiori's investigation has made no breakthroughs, and there is no direction for the breakthrough.]
[You can only search for it yourself. You found a hypnotic video of Wu Xia in a video that every kindergarten shows to students.]
[In this hypnosis session, Wu Xia used several key points to create the image of her parents, making everyone who watched the video think that she had parents at home.]
[Everyone who is hypnotized by Wu Xia will forget the fact that they were given the hypnotic order. No one can help you find these images. You can only watch them one by one by yourself.]
[You quickly stopped this behavior, and you failed to find any useful clues from it. ]
[You tested Wuxia a little bit. You felt that Wuxia was not pretending to be drunk. She really believed that her parents existed.]
[This judgment makes you confused. You wonder what kind of thing would make Wu Xia choose to hypnotize herself? You are worried that your investigation will remind the girl of the thing she tried so hard to forget.]
[You sometimes think that maybe it’s okay to leave it this way. A non-existent parent won’t affect your relationship with Wu Xia.]
[After entering high school, Wuxia often looked for you during breaks, and your relationship became closer. Apart from classes, you were almost inseparable.]
[Wu Xia moved into your house.]
[The girl gave the reason that her mother needed surgery and her father stayed in the hospital to take care of her and had no time to take care of her, so he entrusted her to you, her cousin.]
[This reason makes you a little worried.]
[She was in her second year of high school. When you were in your third year, she said her mother's illness had healed and she moved back home, but she still came to see you often and stayed at your house.]
[A high school girl can't help but talk about that with her friends. She curiously asks you to verify the truth of the knowledge points in the topic. Except for the last barrier, there are no more physical secrets between the two of you. ]
[You welcome the girl's arrival, but you are unwilling to face the invitations she often makes. ]
[She invites you to her home, the home where her non-existent parents exist.]
