Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 90. Lying is human nature

Jinghai Yaren's words were like sweets covered in poison, making Jiang Yuanshen's face and throat as hot as if it had been burned.

His fingers seemed to pierce into Jiang Yuanshen's chest cavity, and then he clenched his vigorous heart tightly.

The quiet atmosphere floats in the coffee shop, so quiet that you can hear the sound of the small spoon hitting the cup on the next table, as well as the slight sound of tapping the keyboard of the laptop.

Jiang Yuanshen deliberately let his eyes fall on the cup. He still doesn't have the courage to respond to these dangerous words from the front.

If it really works, I'm afraid my life will change because of it.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was sweating all over my body and my breathing became irregular.

After sipping a warm latte, the mood gradually calmed down.

Jing Haiya in front of him was just smiling faintly. Seeing his expression, Jiang Yuan Shen had a faint intuition——

Masato Jinghai wanted to expand the "price" for Jinghai Shenyue to leave the island infinitely, completely killing her willingness to leave the island.

The "price" of going back to the past is extremely heavy, let alone five years ago.

That's why he found himself today.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help cursing this beast in clothes. Under that hypocritical smile was a coldness like a poisonous snake, and his eyes were shining with blue flames under the dim light in the coffee shop.

"You care too much about me." Jiang Yuanshen clearly expressed his displeasure for the first time.

Jinghai Yaren looked at him provocatively: "It's you who are weird, right? Make up your mind quickly, no matter what you do, you will understand that you can't keep running away."

Jiang Yuanshen returned a provocative look for a moment, but only for a moment, he returned to his usual calm expression.

"I don't want to discuss this topic with you."

Jinghai Yaren raised his legs harshly, and said as if he was in control:
"Have you figured it out? If you continue to be coy, she will really run away from Zhiniao Island, and you will never have the chance to meet your sister again in your life."

Jiang Yuanshen took a short breath, and there were spring chrysanthemums with tender colors in the small vase on the table. However, as Jing Haiya kept talking, the fresh fragrance of spring chrysanthemums seemed to have barbs, which was disgusting.

At this time, the music in the coffee shop flowed out——

It's "Joselan's Lullaby", that sound only a master can play, it sounds like a perfect CD.

Jiang Yuanshen leaned back on the soft sofa, lowered his head silently and played a game of interlacing his fingers, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.

——Since that day, I have been mentally prepared, and I am really helpless.

New Year's Day, birthdays, long holidays, Obon, Christmas, travel, New Years, etc. have to be spent alone.

If you have a cold and a fever, no one will buy porridge and fruit for yourself, and no one will ask if you feel bad while passing water.

If you don’t bring an umbrella when it rains, you have to deal with it yourself. If you lose something, you have to run home to get it. If you have a pet, you dare not go out.

But this is also good, if there is another earthquake, you only need to escape by yourself, and you don't have to worry about missing relatives.

Helpless, that's what it is.

Although I lament in my heart that I am the most unfortunate, but everyone is walking on the road without any signposts, and there is no way to talk about misfortune.

There were ripples in Jiang Yuanshen's heart, which made him a little out of breath.

——I want to remember what should be remembered, forget what should be forgotten, change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed.

- That's enough.

"Why don't you tell yourself?"

Jiang Yuan Shen tried his best to speak in a calm tone, but when he thought of rejecting Jiang Yuan Kyoko in his heart, he couldn't control the trembling moan deep in his throat, without any strength.

Jing Haiya straightened his back and looked at him with concerned eyes. His calm attitude and serious expression showed no sign of deception at all.

"That's because I understand that you need it more, and you have to understand that you are not qualified to talk to me. In my eyes, you are just a teenager. I came to talk to you because I hope you can persuade Shenyue more."

——I need it more?
Jiang Yuanshen remembered the sun that was dyed vermilion that day, and Jinghai Shenyue said to him, "People on Zhiniao Island are extremely selfish, even me is no exception."

"Why do you not want classmate Jinghai to leave? Is it because you were too timid to keep her mother? So you want to take revenge and treat classmate Jinghai as a substitute?"

In the depths of Jiang Yuanshen's gaze, which outlined a trace of a smile, a chilling and cold expression flashed.

The words were like thorns popping out of the grass, making Jing Haiya's face twitch as if it had been stabbed.

"Where did you hear it from? Azusagawa? Or Asakusa?" Masato Jinghai immediately raised her head and asked in a strong tone.

"It doesn't matter who you listen to"

Jiang Yuanshen got up and drank the coffee in one breath, a bitter feeling gradually dissipated in his mouth,

"Mayor Jinghai, you are so pitiful. The two queens don't want to have anything to do with you. What's wrong?"

"."

Jing Hai Yaren spat, then his whole body became stiff, and the hand holding the spoon suddenly tightened his grip.

His face was mixed with burning shame and cold madness.

When Jiang Yuanshen left the coffee shop, Jinghai Yaren raised his hand to hold his forehead, sucking in oxygen greedily, breathing heavily all over his body, frowning, and biting his nails anxiously.

◇

Walking out of the coffee shop, Jiang Yuanshen breathed a little easier.

The sky was unknowingly dyed honey-colored, and the treescape on the street also began to be colored and rendered. The arcs drawn by the white seagulls passing over Zhiniao Island could be seen flickering.

There are several routes to choose from here. The best way is to go all the way back along the lakeside streets of Kamo Lake, but today I am not in the mood.

"You will never have the chance to see your sister again in your life."

The heavy words almost pierced a hole in his lungs. Every time when he was depressed, Jiang Yuanshen would choose to walk around outside and walk home.

Along the edge of Lake Kamo, I didn't know how long I walked, and came to a park.

Looking at the lake that is still shining in the afterglow of the setting sun, the sound of the gurgling water quietly blends into the noise of the wind blowing the leaves, and the setting sun in the distance is falling down.

Only then did Jiang Yuanshen realize that this was the park where Jinghai Shenyue jumped into Kamo Lake that night.

It's just that there are no blooming flowers on the lake at this time, only maple leaves drifting with the current.

"what are you doing here?"

Someone called him, Jiang Yuanshen raised his head, it was Jinghai Shenyue.

The girl stood up straight, she was still wearing a white sailor suit, exuding a harmonious atmosphere like the beautiful four seasons,
He opened his mouth slightly, showing an "ah~" expression, unable to say anything.

Jinghai Shenyue didn't continue to complain about this, but just brushed aside the bangs in front of her forehead with her fingers, turned towards Lake Kamo, and covered her skirt with her hands to cover her buttocks.

Jiang Yuanshen understood that she wanted to sit down, even though there were still many vacant seats, but he still took the initiative to make room to the side.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

The elementary school students in the park next door were cheering because they finally managed to catch the horizontal bar.

Perhaps thinking it was strange to throw the question back, Jinghai Shenyue twitched the corner of her mouth, but she still replied:

"Probably the same as you, I came to change my mood." She sat on his right hand.

"Really? Do you also have the habit of walking around when you are in a bad mood?" Jiang Yuanshen asked curiously.

Jinghai Shenyue laughed disapprovingly, lowered her eyes and said, "Don't go, I'm more used to sitting."

"What's going on? There's really nothing to talk about."

"What do you mean?"

"You should say that I also have this habit, and then I will excitedly say that I am also me, and then I will tell you where I will go, whether I like to walk alone on the trail or the road, I like to take the cement road or the dirt road, and I like to walk fast. Still walking slowly."

Listening to Jiang Yuanshen talking about his interests, Jinghai Shenyue cast a helpless gaze.

"Why should I understand? And my physical strength is already poor."

"So, there's really nothing to talk about."

"So, why are you here? Have we finished talking?"

As if to deal a fatal blow to Jiang Yuanshen who was at a loss, Jinghai Shenyue's face moved closer, as if smelling the sweet fruity aroma.

As for Jiang Yuanshen, he was frozen in place by her sudden question.

The girl was looking at him carefully, her clear eyes seemed to be the same as Lake Kamo, with spots of maple floating on them, making him unable to look away.

Sitting on the same chair with Jinghai Shenyue, for some reason, Jiang Yuanshen had an incredible feeling, itchy and embarrassed.

"Finish talking to him—"

When he came back to his senses, he had already accidentally said something.

Realizing that he had lost his mind, Jiang Yuanshen felt that the appearance was too ugly and embarrassing.

However, Jinghai Shenyue didn't think much about his thoughts, just stared at him quietly like a beautiful flower planted in a flower garden.

"what do you say?"

Her words were too straightforward, which confused Jiang Yuanshen a little.

"You know everything?"

"Well, he took the initiative to tell me that he would come to see you today." Jinghai Shenyue sat upright facing the lake, leaving him with a beautiful profile.

"Is he so big-hearted?"

"I don't know, but he put on a posture that must be won." Jinghai Shenyue frowned slightly and said, "He even took the initiative to tell me that he would not stop me. Could it be that I missed something?"

Her gaze fell to the ground, so that Jiang Yuanshen couldn't see her expression, and her head, intertwined slender fingers and shoulders did not move.

What's missing?
Jiang Yuanshen couldn't answer for a while.

"Can you tell me, what are you talking about?" Jinghai Shenyue changed her cold voice, and there was a little pleading in her delicate tone.

Perhaps she was suspected of taking advantage of the gentle and pleasant girl, but Jiang Yuanshen also had nothing to hide about this and responded completely.

He brushed his hair subconsciously, as if pulling out the memories from his mind, and spreading them out in front of her one by one.

Jinghai Shenyue, who was sitting in the original position, listened carefully to Jiang Yuanshen's words, but during the process, she kept looking at the lake, her eyes did not relax at all, and her tightly pursed mouth never opened or closed.

"That's all."

Jiang Yuanshen said exactly what he said to Jinghai Yaren. To be honest, it was a very painful thing, and it would make his mood sink all the way.

Jinghai Shenyue's right skirt was deeply wrinkled by her, but the side face left to Jiang Yuanshen was still neat and beautiful without any waves.

When there is a gust of wind, the light falling from the branches and leaves will scurry around in the sight range without restraint.

"I feel sick." The girl calmly opened her pink lips.

Jiang Yuanshen thought he had heard wrong.

"what?"

"I want to throw up."

"Are you joking?"

"It's disgusting, it makes me want to vomit."

"What do you mean? What I said was disgusting?" Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but wailed.

"No, what the other party said was disgusting." Jinghai Shenyue raised her eyebrows in disgust without concealing it.

Jiang Yuanshen tilted his head slightly, and asked in surprise: "Why do you believe what I say? Maybe I will add more oil and vinegar."

"Why do you add oil and vinegar?"

"Hmm, like let you have a good impression of me?"

Jinghai Shenyue's expression remained motionless, her long black hair swaying in the wind like a waterfall.

"Why do you think I have a crush on you?"

"Forget it." Jiang Yuanshen was a little self-deprecating, with self-mockery and anxiety mixed in his tone.

Jinghai Shenyue glanced at him, her soft lips slightly curved.

The orange-red sun rolled over the sea reluctantly, and the white moon could already be seen in the sky.

"Because you lied to me, there is nothing I can do." Jinghai Shenyue's words sounded like a sense of relief.

Jiang Yuanshen was taken aback for a moment, Kamo Lake clearly reflected light particles, which seemed to come from a distant world.

Only here, separated from the whole world by a film of water, the two of them were immersed in the invisible water.

"What's more, lying is human nature. Most of the time, I can't even be honest with myself." Jinghai Shenyue's voice became very rational.

Her words seemed to be convincing herself.

For some reason, Jiang Yuanshen was a little out of breath, subconsciously lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you for trusting me."

"No, I thought you were the most sober person on the island, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you." Jinghai Shenyue glanced at him with a heartless smile. I'm very happy."

This sentence made Jiang Yuanshen temporarily stop breathing, his mind went blank, and he couldn't find the next words.

Her smile can embrace the twilight, sink into the whole body with the gentle light, and then turn into a pair of gentle hands in the body, regardless of the risk of suffocation, pull out a series of chaotic emotions.

However, Jinghai Shenyue narrowed her eyes slightly, pressed her slender fingers against her chin, and said with a deep smile:
"Don't fall hopelessly in love with a girl just because of a word from her. Such a boy has no charm at all and is the most despised."

Looking at her somewhat smug little face, Jiang Yuanshen sorted out his confused thoughts, and said seriously:

"Come on, I'm not in love with you."

"That's good." Jinghai Shenyue stroked her long hair and said calmly, "Back to the point, Jinghai Yaren always looks confident when talking to me, and he also told me won't stop me."

"It's nothing, that's fine."

Jiang Yuanshen's mind was still in a mess, but he finally understood what this sentence meant when there was a confused look from his side.

To salvage his image, he added: "You mean he didn't stop it because we missed something?"

"Hmm." Jinghai Shenyue retracted her idiot-like gaze, rubbed her chin with her white hands and said, "But what is it? I don't have any thoughts."

　Thank you one by one later, tired.
