"So, I'm confessing my feelings to you now."
The confession was left unsaid, as the girl in his arms rudely tried to cover it with her hand.
Her eyes then desperately conveyed a signal.
Stop talking, stop talking! If you say it a few more times, I'm afraid I'll just agree without thinking.
But the boy tilted his head back slightly, dodging the hand, and continued to laugh:
"You always lack confidence, always feel that you are not as good as others and are not worthy of my love."
"But the truth is quite the opposite."
"You always think of me gently. You remember my casual mention of low blood sugar, and after you learned that I like to eat candy, you always carry a few with you with you."
"That scarf too, you're probably clumsy and it's your first time knitting something like that, right?"
"So you were actually knitting it before winter even arrived, right?"
"So what if I'm not a good cook? Even if you make the cookies as black as charcoal, I'll still happily eat them all if I know you made them for me."
"Yui."
I really like your gentleness.
"Idiot... My cookie-making skills have improved a lot, that's why I don't make them as black as charcoal anymore..."
Yui tried to joke, but tears kept falling. She kept wiping her eyes, but she couldn't get them clean.
Why can't I see the world clearly anymore?
"Gentleness...what's so appealing about gentleness?"
She said, her voice choked with emotion, "What's the use of being gentle? This world isn't gentle at all."
"Who said that?" Su Qing asked.
"Many people are saying... Yumiko, Hina... Everyone says that this world is not gentle at all."
"Therefore, gentle people always find it hard to survive. The gentle people are the ones who suffer the most in the world; they are all fools!"
"Oh, is that so?" Su Qing said abruptly and expressionlessly after listening, "Then Miura and Ebina are the real idiots. You should spend less time with them in the future."
When Su Qing said this, she really sounded like a parent worried that their child was being led astray by others.
"Pfft." Yui couldn't help but chuckle.
Why are you yelling at them?
“Because they really are idiots.” Su Qing reached out and ruffled Yui’s hair, and the girl didn’t dodge.
—You are the person she has been waiting for, for months, for a very, very long time.
"Gentle, that's an adjective, an adjective used to modify people."
"What is the world? The world is just an objectively existing yet incredibly abstract concept."
"The world is very, very big, and there are many, many cities."
“Beijing, Tokyo, Paris, New York, London… those cities are all part of this world, but to us they are just names.”
"There's nothing I want to eat there, nothing I want to see there, and nothing I want to see there."
“I used to live in Fuzhou, but it wasn’t my home because there were no people I wanted to see there.”
"That's why I came back with all my might after I realized that."
"The person I want to see, the person I want to protect with my whole life, is right here now."
"So... to use the gentleness used to describe people to describe the world, what else is that but idiocy?"
Xiaoqing is saying some things that are hard to understand again.
He didn't care whether he understood the adjectives, the world, or the objective and abstract concepts.
Fortunately, I can understand home, and I know that the person you want to see is here.
So I'm very happy.
The girl nodded, seemingly confused, but her smile was incredibly bright.
The boy's eyes were also full of love, like the moon that was not obscured by the bamboo forest, a light that had always been shining on the girl.
他 说:
I love your gentleness, your liveliness and cheerfulness, and even your clumsiness. I love everything about you.
"Actually, if anyone is worried about not being good enough for the other person, it should be me."
“I’m selfish. I only think about myself. I didn’t discuss it with any of you when I left. I only came back because I wanted to see you. Now, for no reason, I’m going to drag you down a wrong path again.”
"But even so, I still want to hear your answer."
"You still haven't said what to do if the world really isn't kind..."
The girl asked in a very soft voice, her question somewhat cunning.
I promise you, I will walk this path with you.
This path may not be viewed favorably by the whole world, and it's the first time I've faced such a choice; it's so difficult!
But as long as you tell me, no matter what your answer is, I will agree to stay with you.
So... tell me, okay?
Su Qing gently shook her head at this moment.
"What does it really matter whether the world is gentle or not?"
"As I said, gentleness describes human gentleness. From beginning to end, it is not the world that is gentle, but people."
"But what if... this world really isn't kind?"
"Then for the rest of my life, I will repay the world for all the tenderness it owes you."
"In your place."
The way the boy uttered those last four words was so childish, yet so spirited and captivating.
It's like you've fallen to the bottom, at the lowest point in your life, when suddenly someone arrives in an expensive helicopter and drops down a ladder from the sky, swaying in the wind.
That person is in the helicopter.
—Actually, he just needed to sit inside and wait for himself to grab the ladder and climb up.
But he still peeked out of the door like a fool and said to you on the cliff, "Don't give up. If you give up, I'll jump."
Either we fall to the bottom of the cliff together, or we climb back up together!
Too cunning, too cunning.
How am I supposed to refuse you?
Knowing full well that I'm not that smart and can't think of a way to refuse, why did you go to such lengths to trick me into coming here and telling me all this?
Yui thought to herself, she really looks pretty bad right now.
As expected, what was filmed on TV was all fake. Those girls looked so beautiful on camera, but now my face is covered in tears.
But it just wouldn't stop, it just wouldn't let up.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, as did smiles.
Everything was out of control.
"like……"
"I like it, I like it, I like it."
"Whether it's love at first sight, love that grows over time, or even just being love-struck, it doesn't matter."
"In short, I like you the most, ...
At the most tender and innocent age, a young girl's love is so intense.
She confessed her love to the boy in front of her with such intensity that she didn't care whether anyone around them could hear her.
—I wish there were talented people here.
—I want the whole world to know.
I am Yui Yuigahama.
I absolutely adore Xiao Qing!!!
"Yes, I know, I've always known."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Su Qing was smiling, but the expression on her face was somewhat unnatural; it was a kind of tension.
"Um...you still haven't answered me."
Yui smiled mischievously, then tiptoed and gently pecked her beloved's cheek.
Then she jumped to her feet, burying her burning cheeks in Su Qing's arms, like a little bird approaching dawn.
"I've already been tricked into coming here."
"It doesn't matter if I get scammed again."
"Anyway... I'm a silly fish, and I just happen to like you, so do whatever you want."
That day, the stars were bright, the evening breeze was warm, and the pale pink winter cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
Everything was like springtime.
The girl raised her eyes, which were filled with autumn rain, her heart as bright as ever.
grandmother.
I think I've embarked on a less-than-correct path, but I believe that even if it's not entirely correct, it doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.
But perhaps it's just like that dark path I walked tonight, only a little difficult to walk on.
I believe that in one's lifetime, one will definitely meet more than one person they like.
It won't be too little, nor too much.
But the most passionate and purest love must happen at my age, right?
Many years later, I will experience many things and meet many more people. My mother will no longer always call me Little Yui, but Old Yui.
I will become even more outstanding and remarkable than I am now, but will my heart also become increasingly dull and numb, and will I not feel the same excitement and leaps as I do now for many years?
When I went back to my hometown last time, Grandma, you always told me that life is too short and we should live for ourselves.
At that time, I didn't understand. I thought to myself, "Grandma, you spent the rest of your life staying in that village because of Grandpa. What kind of life is that, living for yourself?"
You didn't even do it yourself.
Now... I think I understand a little bit.
So living for yourself means living for your own choices.
I once heard Xiaoxue and her friends say that there is something in this world called "genuine things".
I don't really understand.
What is that? Is it delicious?
Never mind, it's not important.
If there were truly genuine objects in this world placed in front of me, I definitely wouldn't want them.
Because it's today.
I have found the person I want to spend my life with, and I have made the choice to stay with them for life.
Yes, today.
For the first time, I truly fell in love with him.
