Chapter 417 I Need You
Most of the time, the development of things does not depend on human will.

What all Class A students were looking forward to did not happen.

Baiyuan Shiori did not rush to find Kitagawa Che immediately after arriving in Class A, as they had privately speculated, nor did she deliberately create a romantic encounter. Instead, she honestly followed the school's rules. Arrange and follow the large group to visit, tour and record.

During the whole process, she didn't even talk to Kitagawa Che alone.

She just stayed quietly with Beiyuan Rinyin and the others, occasionally chatting quietly, looking extremely reserved, as if she had returned to her original appearance as an ace pilot who had shot down countless love planes.

However, for everyone in Class A, the incident of Baiyuan Shiori is always just an episode in the journey, not the main theme.

Soon, after putting aside the thoughts of gossip, everyone subconsciously accepted this senior senior sister who was no stranger to him.

It's just obvious that the four words "Flower of the High Mountains" carry considerable weight to boys of this age group.

No one wants to be labeled with a bad label in the next two years because of their recklessness.

Therefore, on the morning of the next day, almost all the people who took the initiative to talk to Baiyuan Shizhi were girls.

As for the boys, except for the two or three who were already acquainted with Bai Yuan Shizhi, the rest chose to watch from a distance and peek from time to time.

Soon, the day passed by in a flash, and the school trip ushered in the second night.

According to the school's announcement this morning, there will be a small fireworks show at the beach tonight. As for whether to watch it or not, that is a matter for the students to decide.

According to information from Kiriyama-san who did not want to be named, this fireworks show was still sponsored and led by everyone's 'old friend', Shioinean.

However, this news did not cause much waves.

To take what everyone is joking about in the campus forum, this is Shirakawa High School's way of showing off its muscles to these students - look, these are your seniors who have graduated.

Of course, this is just a joke, no one will take such words seriously.

After all, the principal's image is too deep in everyone's heart.

Yes, such convenience was achieved, but it went against the old man's original intention.

The old man, who always had a straight back, never bothered to take advantage of this.

And the subsequent development can be regarded as supporting everyone's guess.

At noon, the teachers made another announcement.

The person responsible for lighting the fireworks is Chaoyin'an, while the purchase of fireworks is the responsibility of the school.

"This can be regarded as something you can achieve only if you give up."

Walking on the tree-lined path before heading to the beach, Kitagawa Che couldn't help but feel a little emotion on his face while holding a box of fireworks.

If you think about it from his perspective, he can quite understand the principal's difficulties.

"What do you mean?"

Kiriyama Taku, who was also holding a box of fireworks, slowed down, turned his eyebrows, and looked at him with some confusion.

Beichuan Che's sudden words really made him a little confused.

"literal meaning."

Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows and looked across the tree-lined path in front of him, landing on the bonfire in the distance.

That is the destination of their trip.

"It's still at least 15 minutes away."

Kiriyama Taku also raised his gaze and looked towards the bonfire.

The long fire burning in the night was reflected in his pupils.

After being silent for half a second, he added as if with emotion, "It's just like climbing a mountain. After reaching the top and looking down, you will feel that the way you came from is only a little.

"But in fact, it took a lot of time and effort to go all the way. It is far more than the 'close' visual effect."

After saying that, he shook his head and brought the topic back on track, "Back to the topic, I really hate two kinds of people, one is a salesperson, and the other is..."

"The person who won't let you betray yourself."

Kitagawa Che interrupted this guy's speech and continued the second half of the sentence with a smirk on his face.

"Correct." Takuyama Kiriyama nodded in agreement. He slightly increased his strength with his arms and lifted the carton up a little more. "So, what did you say just now?"

"It is said that people are mutually beneficial to each other. It is precisely because of the principal's concern for the students that the seniors who have graduated will do their best to do something for the school."

Beichuan Che paused and kicked away a stone in the middle of the path. The position of this thing made it easy for people to trip over.

"You want to say that you give me a peach and I repay you with a plum?"

Kiriyama Taku tilted his head and said this sentence in less than standard Chinese.

"Correct."

The speed of Beichuan Che's feet slowed down again.

He turned around and glanced behind him.

In the night, the illuminated Chaoyin Temple is so clearly visible.

"Compared with these, I think you should pay more attention to the present."

Kiriyama Taku coughed lightly and quietly reminded Kitagawa Che.

Not far away from the two of them, a beautiful figure was standing silently by the path, seemingly waiting for someone.

"For example?"

Kitagawa Che retracted his gaze from behind him, turned his eyebrows back, and focused his attention on his eyes again.

However, due to the hazy darkness of the night, he was not keen enough to immediately notice the beautiful figure.

"Far in the sky, close in front of you."

Kiriyama Taku stopped and gave Kitagawa Che a 'give me the thing' look.

"what?"

Beichuan Che was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

Only then did he belatedly notice the beautiful figure that was familiar to him and Takuya Kiriyama.

"Ah for what."

Kiriyama Taku glared at Kitagawa Che and didn't argue with the guy.

Having been friends with Kitagawa Che for so long, he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the latter's character.

At times like this, this person is like this, making people dumbfounded.

"Remember to treat me to coffee and milk when you go back tonight!"

Kiriyama Taku said so, he took the initiative to twist the cardboard box Kitagawa Che was holding with one hand, then stacked the two cardboard boxes, picked them up, and took steps without looking back, leaving time and space. He saw Beichuan Che and the beautiful figure waiting for him.

First, as a friend, he has no interest in being a light bulb.

Secondly, he didn't want Kitagawa Che to regret this kind of thing.

You only have one youth, so the worst thing you can do is be more philanthropic!

"What were Kiriyama-san talking about just now?"

Baiyuan Shizhi, who had been waiting by the path for a long time, saw Kiriyama Taku leaving, so he naturally walked to Beichuan Che's side and asked this sentence in a low voice.

It's not that she asked knowingly, but she really didn't hear clearly.

"He said he didn't want to be a lightbulb."

Beichuan Che shrugged and said this with some helplessness.

After going through so many interviews, the relationship between him and Bai Yuan Shizhi has long been familiar and natural. It doesn't matter if you talk about it casually.

But it was obvious that he had misjudged Baiyuan Shiori tonight.

"That's true."

Bai Yuan Shizhi folded his hands on his chest and nodded with deep approval.

"If the seniors in the third grade of high school hear this, there will be a lot of sad people in Shirakawa High School."

Beichuan Che laughed and made a joke.

Bai Yuan Shiori's popularity in Shirakawa High School is quite high. "I don't care about them." Baiyuan Shizhi said in a longer tone, and her beautiful eyes reflected Kitagawa Che's profile, "I only care about a certain stupid idiot."

In a sense, this is already clear.

"Uh, so, why are you waiting for me here?"

Kitagawa Che was silent for a moment and did not choose to talk, but changed the topic.

"Because our Ah Che is a busy man." Bai Yuan Shizhi pursed his lips, with a little resentment in his voice, "I can't invite you to accompany me to collect materials during the day, so I can only stay at night."

This is half true and half false.

Because even if Beichuan Che was free during the day, she would not drag Beichuan Che to act alone in front of most of the people in Class A of the second year of high school.

Firstly, she knew Kitagawa Che's temperament and knew that she couldn't go too far. Secondly, if they wanted to take their relationship further, they needed to restrain their publicity.

"Feel sorry."

Beichuan Che lowered his eyebrows and apologized honestly.

During the day, he really didn't have that free time.

Except for a brief moment when he helped apply sunscreen, he spent almost all the rest of his time on the work that suddenly came to him.

For this reason, he was slightly complained by his fiancée.

But it was a blessing in disguise. Seeing him talking on the phone, everyone in the class gave up the idea of ​​gathering together.

"Ache, do you know what your greatest advantage is?"

Hearing this, Bai Yuan Shizhi sighed helplessly. She took two steps forward, put her hands behind her back, and gently pinched the wrist of her right hand with her left hand.

"……honest?"

Beichuan Che was silent for a moment, and then said these two words.

"Yes." Bai Yuan Shizhi nodded, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the bright stars above his head, "We may not be able to hear the sound from the bonfire here, but we can hear the sound of the waves. .”

The weather is quite good tonight, the sky is full of stars and the moon is bright.

"..."

Kitagawa Che did not rush to chat, but silently waited for the next chapter of Bai Yuan's poem.

"Ache, your honesty, or sincerity, is a plus in front of girls." Baiyuan Shizhi paused, and there were more fluctuations in his steady voice, "I mean, after I have a crush on you In front of girls, such sincerity is a bonus.

"However, it is precisely because of your sincerity that sometimes some of the words you say make people really helpless.

"Just, it's a bit too confusing.

"Can you understand what I mean? Ah Che."

If possible, she actually didn't want to make it so obvious.

After all, if the words get to this point, then there is a high probability that she will have to show her hand, which means there will be no way out.

"I see."

Kitagawa Che nodded, Miaoya had told him more than once about this matter.

"Of course, you are much better now than you were when I first met you."

Speaking of this, Bai Yuan Shizhi chuckled unconsciously.

At that time, Ah Che really didn't know what to say.

The most irritating thing is that this guy is the one who has no desire and is strong, and he has become the one who is interested in him and shamelessly wants to get close to him.

"...Then this is still progress."

Kitagawa Che scratched the side of his face and let out a haha.

"Yes." Bai Yuan Shizhi nodded in confusion, and gave a positive answer, which must be progress, "I have done half of the material for the new book, and the remaining half is still lacking.

"So, I may still need your help, Ache."

She was actually hesitating.

Do you want to be more straightforward?

"Yes, yes, but in terms of time, just..."

Kitagawa Che's expression showed a bit of embarrassment.

"Ache."

Baiyuan Shizhi took a deep breath and put away the hesitation he had just now.

She has decided.

Since I have followed my heart and come here to 'block' him, I should just follow my heart and say everything I need to say.

"Ok?"

Beichuan Che responded.

"This material may not be available in a short period of time."

Bai Yuan Shizhi bit her thin lip lightly, trotted forward for two steps, then stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Beichuan Che.

Those smart eyes seemed to penetrate his soul.

"Is that...long-term?"

Kitagawa Che met Baiyuan Shizhi's gaze.

Under the starry sky, the girl's elegant face had some expressions that would never appear at all on ordinary days.

She is very nervous.

"Yes."

Baiyuan Shizhi took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell violently.

Normally, she prides herself on being a sensible, calm person who doesn't get nervous easily, but at this moment, she already feels like her heart is about to beat out.

Yes, she could continue to use the excuse of gathering information to ask him out once, twice, three times, or even four or five times, but what next?

With Kitagawa Che's character, if he didn't puncture some window paper, then Mr. Colleague might only be Mr. Colleague forever and would not be able to go any further.

Last night, she thought about it carefully.

Now more than half of the first semester has passed, and in a few months, her senior year of high school will be completely over and she will usher in her college career.

Distance will become an unavoidable topic between her and him.

When that time comes, what should she do?

Therefore, the time she had always thought she had plenty of time was actually no longer ample time at all.

Hesitating and dilly-dallying will most likely lead to failure.

Just like Linyin said, if you want to do it, then do it. From her standpoint, she will not stop herself from doing anything, nor will she pursue anything, let alone talk about what is or is not, just I need to admit something to myself.

But to her, this actually didn't matter.

After all, from last year to now, the way they get along with each other has actually been subtle.

"I know my request may be too much, but I still hope you can agree, Ache." Baiyuan Shizhi paused, feeling inexplicably incoherent, "Because..."

She lowered her eyebrows and squeezed her white hands unconsciously.

Finally, after feeling uneasy for a while, she followed her heart and spoke the words that best suited her mood.

"Because I need you."

As the words fell, the sea breeze blew by, and the sound of the waves on the beach was so clear at this moment.

"..."

Beichuan Che was silent for a moment, took two steps forward, and took Bai Yuan Shizhi's hand.

This is his answer.
