Qian Linya squatted beside the stone, revealing only half of his head out of the water, feeling the swaying water waves, and the figure of the girl opposite the mist was still hazy, but he already knew who the girl was.

Even through the water vapor, you can still see the long white hair.

Qingshui squatted down in an instant, soaked his body slowly in water, let out a satisfied sigh from his throat, looked up at the starry sky, stretched out his white and tender arms, and naturally placed it on the edge of the hot spring pool.

While the girl was enjoying the temperature of the hot spring water, Qian Linya was already burned by the temperature of the hot spring.

He didn't want to deliberately hide from Qingshui. He came in first, and Qingshui came in later, so the responsibility was definitely not on him. He didn't want to meet Qingshui because he was afraid of embarrassment.

"The starry sky in the mountains is so beautiful."

Qingshui, opposite the pool, suddenly said.

After a moment of silence, Qian Linya thought she was talking to herself.

"There are few people and there is no pollution from urban lights. The most essential posture of the night sky is presented in the most primitive way. In this era, it has become a unique experience that can only be obtained by high consumption."

Qian Linya endured the temperature on his body and the temperature inside, and listened to Qingshui's nagging.

Finally, Shimizu said, "Are you not hot like that? Zhao Youzhai?"

Qian Linya stood up with a "wow": "How did you find me? Did you see me? When did you find me there?"

"Well, the only thing you have in the basket at the door is yours, and I knew you should be in it."

Qian Linya rubbed his hair and began to feel the wind blowing through his body, and it felt a little cold, so he sat back in the pool.

"So, you're a little too bold, I'm a man after all."

Qingshui glanced at the moment and muttered: "It's obvious that nothing has happened after living together for so long, it's just in such a large pool, not to mention that I'm wearing a bath towel..."

"Of course this is different." Qian Linya pressed his forehead.

"But it's just right, I'm just about to talk to you alone." Qumizu said calmly.

The two of them were shrouded in smoke, and they were steaming through a hot spring pool, and they couldn't see the expression on each other's faces, but they could actually hear each other's voices.

"So, did you deliberately create this accidental encounter?" Qian Linya asked.

"No, I was really sleepy at the beginning. After taking a nap for two hours, I couldn't stand it. I wanted to see if there was anyone in the hot spring pool. I found that your clothes were there, and I happened to want to find you again, so I came in... In short, this is definitely a coincidence, but it's true that I want to see you alone."

Qingshui on the opposite side explained a lot. Qian Linya always felt that when she tried to explain something, it sounded cute.

"So?" Qian Linya asked.

"So?" Qingshui tilted her head in an instant.

"You said you wanted to talk to me alone, so what do you want to say?" Qian Linya asked.

"Ah." Qingshui made a sudden sound, stretched out her hand, moved the water, and walked towards Qian Linya, as if she wanted to get closer and talk to him.

"Don't come over." Qian Linya called her.

"I'm wearing a bath towel, don't worry," said Shimizu instantly.

"No," Qian Linya said, "in fact, I just glanced at here for a while, and when I woke up, I realized that the towel I used to cover my shame was gone."

The figure opposite the mist stopped, and then quickly exposed a back here.

Although he couldn't see Qingshui's expression, he was sure that the other party would definitely blush.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Qingshui complained in an instant.

"I didn't have a chance sooner," said Qian Linya. "Will you be treated as a pervert if you say everything in advance?"

"Then are you not perverted when you look at me naked?"

"I don't want to do it either!"

Qian Linya felt that his heart had accelerated. He calmed down for a while, turned his back and looked for his lost towel on the ground.

"Ahem."

Shimizu instantly tried to get back to the topic, her tone returned to her usual calmness, and she said softly: "What do you think of this trip?"

"Are you referring to this hotel? Ah, it's not bad, the price is affordable, the dishes are suitable for the taste, and the accommodation conditions are acceptable. I'm quite satisfied anyway."

"No, I'm not asking this," Shimizu Sana said, "I mean, the whole trip."

“The whole trip?”

"The hot spring in Liju Mountain, Qingshui Shishi came once a year before," behind the girl's voice came, crisp and pleasant, and very gentle, "Of course, that was Qingshui Shishi's personality, not Qingshui Shishi's current."

"The Qingshui Shina, who is staying in the pool with you, was here only once last year. She went to seclusion here to ponder the tea ceremony. That was also the time when she was born. It can be said that Qingshui Shina officially became Qingshui Shina."

Qian Linya was a little confused when he heard this.

"You mean, Miss Sakura, did you appear here at this time last year?"

"You can call my name now, no need to say anything," Miss Sakura stretched out her hand and tied her long scattered hair back. "Listen, whether it is a moment or a moment, it is a part of the current clear water moment. It is a clear water moment that only exists at this time and here, and perhaps a clear water moment that will disappear one day in the future."

"You mean, may your current personality disappear?" Qian Linya asked.

"It seems that there is no sign for the time being." After Qishui said that, she sighed quietly, but she did not say what she had thought of.

Qian Linya sorted out his thoughts and said, "So, you took me to see where you grew up in the past and where you are now."

"Yes." Qingshui nodded slightly in an instant.

"I took you to see my hometown, the city where I grew up, my family, my mother, and the starry sky now."

Qian Linya couldn't help but look up and saw the lingering mist gradually dissipating in the deep and dark sky.

"These are all important parts that form the present Qingshui Shi. I have already shown you all, and I want to hear your thoughts."

Qianlinya's words are exhausted for a while.

“What kind of idea?”

"Anything can be done, for example, is my hometown too small compared to Tokyo, is my family too poor, is my mother very ridiculous, and is the starry sky I like different from the starry sky you have?"

Qian Linya was silent for a while.

"cherry."

"Hmm?" Qingshui's voice suddenly became a little panicked.

"I like it very much."

There was no sound there, as if there was no sound of breathing.

"The things that are forming you now are good," he said. "Whether it is Xiantai, Lu Xun's place to study, or your mother, they all left a very good impression on me, so I like them very much."

"is that so?"

"That's it." He nodded honestly, although the other party couldn't see it, "After all, I like it."

"Do you know more about me?"

"It seems that I know a little better than before, but in the final analysis, I don't know enough, as a friend."

"What do you think about me now?"

"I admire you," said Qian Linya, "You are very hard-working, and fortunately you are very outstanding and have overcome all the difficulties."

"After knowing me better, I didn't feel disgusted?"

"Not a trace, even when I saw the ruins of the ancient city with only the statue of Masamune Ida, I didn't have any disgusting feelings."

"How much do you hate that place?" Quami smiled in an instant.

After pausing for a while, Shimizu said again: "So?"

"so?"

"I mean," Shimizu took a deep breath, "What about me who is composed of these parts you like? Do you like it?"

Maybe it was colder at night, and Qian Linya felt that the water temperature became hotter.

"If you like or hate, you like it."

"What if you don't choose from likes and hates?"

"If you don't choose from it, well, I still admire it."

"Do you admire more or like more?"

"I like it more," said Qian Linya.

The night wind blew, the water waves became wrinkled, and the water vapor was blown away a little.

"Hey, listen to me." Qingshui said in a flash. Although her tone of speaking was always calm, Qian Linya seemed to be able to imagine that her expression must be smiling.

"You asked me before, why I was so stressed and I had to go to Tokyo to study. I didn't tell you at that time because I was also asked. Now I'm thinking about why."

"Why?"

"It's because of you," she said.

"Why? At that time, you and I didn't know each other at all."

Shimizu's tone became serious: "I originally planned to stay in Sendai forever, get admitted to Northeastern University, continue to study tea ceremony, and finally become the best tea person in Northeast China, and then become the best tea person in the country."

Qian Linya didn't say anything, waiting for her next sentence.
