Slowly getting closer, their upper bodies were almost touching each other, and the distance between their eyes was gradually shortening.

Standing on tiptoes, the hands wrapped around his waist were also raised, hugging his neck to lend strength to his body.

"..."

Being so close, staring at his lips and eyes, she temporarily forgot to breathe.

What kind of reaction is this...

You're already so close, why don't you push her away?

Does the lack of response mean acquiescence...in other words, does it mean that you can continue?

Then I don't care.

The thought passed quickly. When the distance shortened to the extreme, Yoshikawa paused briefly for half a second, then closed his eyes and kissed her with all his strength.

"Well……"

There was a touch of slightly moist warmth on the lips.

Is this what kissing feels like...a different touch than I imagined.

Still smell a little sweat?

She opened her eyes and met his complicated gaze first, and then realized that they were not intimate yet, and there was a hand between them.

Her kiss fell on his hand.

"..."

His backhand covered her mouth and nose, and hot and moist breath kept slipping out of her fingers. It took a while for Zonggu to speak:

"Suddenly being so close, I would have thought Yoshikawa wanted to kiss me."

"..."

Pursing her lips tightly, she rolled her eyes, which quickly became moist.

"Or is this the truth?" He put down the hand that was blocking her from her first kiss, and then held the wrists on her left and right to keep a little distance from her, "Yoshikawa actually likes me?"

"..."

Staring at him, Yoshikawa only felt aggrieved and confused.

Isn’t this something we both know very well? Why do we need to confirm it at this time?

Rolling her eyes twice to digest the emotions that were about to overflow, she said hoarsely: "What do Zonggu think?"

"I have my own judgment. Because this is a very important matter, I want to hear Yoshikawa's own answer."

"No matter what the answer is, I will respond seriously." He paused and sighed inwardly. Although he had a vague premonition, he did not expect that this moment would come so quickly. "I will give it to Yoshikawa now."

Respond."

"..."

She opened her mouth and looked at him steadily.

You are obviously talking about something you like, why do you have to show such a serious expression?

Looking at his unsmiling face, Yoshikawa realized something even though he didn't want to admit it.

The so-called response is actually a rejection, right?

Is it because I just said that unless I get a complete and clear rejection, I will continue to pester?

"I……"

In this case, why not reject her directly? It would be too cruel to reject her after she admits that she likes her personally...

Could it be that in his mind, she is just like those ordinary girls who confess once and then disappear?

Were her feelings all this time an illusion?

"I...I am interested in Zonggu..."

Hongzi bit her lips tightly, not wanting to flinch.

But she couldn't be rejected at this time.

In that case, she wouldn't be able to walk out of this fitting room normally... Akane is still waiting outside.

"Sogu..."

Realizing that her voice was trembling, she took a deep breath and paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"Sogu, are you free this afternoon? I want to talk to you alone. Just the two of us."

"..."

Sogu looked at her for a while and sighed softly: "Did you forget, I have work at the shrine in the afternoon."

"...Sorry. I forgot."

She also reacted immediately, "Then in the evening... no, tomorrow... no, as long as Zonggu has time."

Zong Gu was silent for a while, and he could roughly understand what she was thinking.

Now is definitely not the right time... Is there really a right time to refuse this kind of thing?

He shook his head, and her breath froze, and then she heard him say again:

"okay, I get it."

Separated by a curtain, the swimsuit store outside was still busy with customers coming and going. There was also the faint noise coming from below, but there was only dead silence in the crowded fitting room.

The outcome has been decided, but the verdict has been temporarily postponed due to a tacit understanding.

In the stagnant atmosphere, Yoshikawa suddenly raised his hand and hooked the shoulder strap of one side of his swimsuit.

"Sogu, do you want to see my breasts?"

"...Suddenly said something."

She raised her eyes and looked at him, with a smile on her face, "Then why don't you go out? I'm going to change clothes, you pervert."

"..."

Zonggu pursed his lips and nodded. He opened the curtain and walked out of the fitting room. Her voice came from behind again.

"This swimsuit is not easy to take off. I need a little more time... Souya is not allowed to peek, and don't let Akane come in."

"I see."

He looked at her a few more times before closing the curtain.

The two looked at each other, and she suddenly pulled off one shoulder strap.

Wow.

"Coward..." Her deliberate laughter and whispers came from behind the closed curtain.

Sogu turned around and found that Asagiri Suzu had changed back into her original clothes and was looking at him from the other side.

"take it easy."

He tilted his head and dropped the last sentence.

There was silence for a few seconds.

"……Um."

Listening to the footsteps outside walking farther away, Yoshikawa slowly squatted down and hugged his knees.

"Ah...it has become like this."

The swimsuit was about to be taken off, with only one shoulder strap still hanging. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes red.

"It's so embarrassing..."

Two lines of hot water flowed down, dripped on the knees, penetrated into the swimsuit, leaving traces of burning.

...

After trying on two swimsuits, Akane Kirino finally chose the second one that was more comfortable to wear. Soya asked her to check out first.

"Hongzi hasn't come out yet?"

When she returned to the fitting room, the curtain was still tightly drawn.

"Yeah." Zonggu looked aside, "She tried on another one."

"Hey, I didn't even see it..."

"It's okay, it doesn't look good anyway."

"Soya!" Kirino Akane stared at her with a smile on her face, "Anko will be angry if she hears this."

"She won't hear..."

"——I heard it."

The curtain suddenly opened, and Yoshikawa, who had changed back into his original clothes, stared at him from inside, "And he could hear it clearly."
To be continued...
