Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 354 The Ema Frame Under the Love Tree

After returning from playing, while resting, Tsurumi Qianna pushed Haishio Zaochan's shoulder: "What are you thinking now?"

Hai Chao Algae's eyes flashed: "Jealous."

Aoi just glanced at these two guys and pursed her lips.

--"fool."

She looked at Ichinose Qingyue again and felt that this girl was just right.

But Ichinose Kiyuki ignored Aoi and just lay on the beach towel, basking in the sun.

She looked lazy and cheerful.

Looking at Hinazuki Kana, she is also very similar to Ichinose Kiyuki.

"You're just not curious, what did they say?" Although Aoi hesitated for a moment, she finally asked the question.

"I'm not curious." Hinazuki Kana replied.

Before Aoi could ask why, Hinazuki Kana said: "Only those who are scared or worried will be curious about what they said."

"And I'm really not worried."

Aoi glanced at Hinazuki Kana and then looked away.

He also closed his eyes and basked in the sun.

Nishimiya Yuko sat under the umbrella, took out a book from the backpack next to her and read through it.

This is the book Nishimiya Ruri brought. She originally thought she would use the book to pass the time.

But I really didn't expect that it would turn out like this.

It suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of the tide.

——There was also the clattering sound of Nishimiya Yuko turning the pages of the book.

And over there, only Nishinomiya Liuli's slight sobs were left.

Xia Tingfei wanted to say something, but his lips were covered by Xi Gong Liuli.

The girl lowered her head and said softly: "Don't say it - don't say everything you think."

"Because I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I say it, it will become a solid fact."

"So, don't say it."

"No matter what, I hope to keep this possibility forever, forever."

"Even though it might be false."

She begged, her voice like fragile glass.

Even if it is filled with sadness, every crack is filled with sadness.

"However, my heart is filled with anger."

"I hate these sad words, I hate this humble gesture, I hate this desire for a false hope."

"If it were anything else, I would do whatever it takes to get rid of this chain for her."

"But, this chain is actually me. It's really, really embarrassing."

Xia Tingfei's mood was agitated, and anger almost burst out from his chest.

Nishimiya Ruri can also feel this beating heartbeat.

She bit her lip: "These are enough."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Tingfei worked hard to suppress his anger.

This kind of anger almost overwhelmed his sanity.

But he finally suppressed it.

He just held Nishimiya Ruri's hand tightly: "This is just the beginning."

Nishimiya Ruri raised her pretty little face, her eyes were a little red, and her eye circles were all red.

After all, she didn't say anything else.

Just like a dodder, leaning on Xia Tingfei's body.
-

The place to stay at night is in a hot spring hotel.

It is far away from the seaside, and a few people only arrived here in the middle of the night.

Rather than the destination being the seaside, here is the accident.

Rather, the destination itself is here.

And going to the beach is the only thing to do along the way.

It’s not because the hotel is famous, but because it is a love mecca that is widely rumored on the Internet.

The hotel is in a deep mountain, and the car can only park at the foot of the mountain.

There is a bluestone staircase winding up, connecting the foot of the mountain and the mountainside.

Many purple and pink hydrangeas on both sides are in full bloom in summer.

The scent of hydrangea almost surrounded the girls.

"Hydrangeas."

The tide algae sighed and stroked the soft petals with his fingers.

At the end of the stone steps, there was a maid waiting.

After seeing everyone, she bent slightly and said softly: "Guests."

The hotel is not that huge, but it is not as sophisticated as it is.

After all, the gate is an antique-style design with a thatched roof.

It really looks like a secluded thatched cottage in the mountains. Go inside and take a look.

But I feel that the main body inside is no different from other hotels. It is also a five or six-story wooden building.

The only difference is probably that there is a lot of moss on the roof.

Xia Tingfei really liked this small courtyard. When he stopped in the courtyard, it was full of ball-like crabapple flowers. The tree trunks were straight and the tips of green leaves were dotted on them. It was like a sky composed of floating clouds of flowers.

"The guests are invited."

The maid led the way and led several people into the hotel.

Although it has been wiped and brand new, you can vaguely see the sheen on the floor that was slightly moistened by water.

But it's still full of old-fashioned flavor.

The wooden structure is dark brown everywhere, and even if you don't know how many times it has been painted, you can still see the cracks deep inside.

The stairs between the floors are also made of wood.

Just stepping on it alone will make it squeak.

If other people look at it, they will find that the steps are slightly curved.

The maid walked up the stairs without any expression and led Xia Tingfei to the sixth floor.

This is the top floor of the hotel, with good views and good air.

The hot spring pool is behind the hotel.

There are bamboo forests here and there is a huge rockery in the hot spring.

A thin mist shrouded it, completely covering the hot spring.

If people who don’t know this is a hot spring see it at first sight, they will probably think it is an amusement park.

Putting their luggage on the tatami, the girls each found their rooms.

This group of people was probably divided into three rooms.

The girls occupied two of them, while Xia Tingfei was alone.

After putting away the luggage, the maid brought another yukata.

Neatly stacked on a tray.

The waitress also brought over a small dining table with a plate of dried fruits on it.

After putting the things away, the waitress stepped back and left the room.

He knelt down in the corridor and closed the door using the three-stage push-pull method.

It just made a slight clicking sound.

Xia Tingfei didn't care about this kind of thing at all. He put on his bathrobe and leaned by the window, looking at a small shrine on the mountain.

The shrine is not very pretty, it is no different from other shrines.

Among them, the sacred tree tied with a rope is a bit strange.

The girls next to them were noisily preparing to go to the hot spring after bathing.

The pool was in a corner of the hotel when Xia Tingfei walked in with his utensils. I found the men's soup room empty.

"I guess I am the only guest in this hotel."

Xia Tingfei thought like this while standing under the shower.

After swimming in the sea today, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

After rushing for a long time, he felt a little more relaxed.

There is also a small door in the hot spring pool, which is connected to the hot spring.

Xia Tingfei walked straight into the hot spring and soaked in it slowly.

The men's and women's hot spring rooms are separated by a row of thick wooden rafts.

Amid the mist, Xia Tingfei was quietly soaking in the hot springs.

The girls were very lively there.

The girls were laughing and playing, splashing water on each other.

Here, the previous distance is abandoned.

It's just that Ichinose Kiyosuki and Aoi leaned against the stone wall of the hot spring as if nothing happened, not participating in the play between the girls.

There was nothing to say between the two of them.

Just soak in the hot springs.

But in this case, just soaking in the hot springs is too boring.

Moreover, the other girls were having fun, but the two of them were actually a little silly here.

"Is there anything interesting in Tosui Village?" Ichinose Qingyue asked casually.

She is really not good at things like chatting.

After all, this kind of thing is really embarrassing.

Aoi glanced at her and said nothing.

She didn't want to mention the matter in Dusui Village to anyone.

Ichinose Qingyue had expected such a situation.

She said: "You know about my previous life, right?"

Aoi closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to this girl.

But Ichinose Qingyue wanted to talk to someone. She raised her head and looked at the dark sky and the shining moon.

"You are all girls with your own opinions. I am the only one who goes with the flow."

She laughed at herself, but it did make Aoi laugh a little.

Opinion? Ah?

Ichinose Qingyue didn't know whether it was Aoi's reaction, or he knew Aoi's reaction, but Ichinose Qingyue didn't care.

"In the past, even though I hated it, I had to obey my parents' words."

"After my boss taught me, I listened to my boss again. I thought that was the right thing to do."

"But, he was saved by Xia Ting later. So, I thought Xia Ting was right."

Ichinose Qingyue smiled bitterly: "Look, I don't have any opinions."

"Heh." Kui smiled coldly: "So, what do you want to say?"

"I don't want to say anything, I just feel like I suddenly have nowhere to go." Ichinose Qingyue said.

But Aoi didn't believe it at all. When you were at the beach, your eyes were shining with a proud look as if you had everything in your palm!

"I just think that if Chuyue really marries Xia Ting, what should we do? Where should we go?"

Ichinose Qingyue breathed out slightly.

She was really confused.

"When I escaped from Tosui Village, there was also a period of confusion." Aoi said slowly: "When I was in Tosuui Village, I was always preparing for my escape, and I was always preparing to leave Tosuui. The village is ready.”

"But when it came time to run away, I was scared to death."

"I thought - how terrible it would be if it failed."

"Under this timidity, I even feel that even in Dusui Village, in the sanatorium that I used to hate, there is nothing scary. In fact, it is a bit familiar and joyful!"

Aoi moved her lips: "This very ridiculous idea keeps spinning and spinning in my mind."

"Fortunately, I didn't make that decision. However, it is not all my fault, but other people-"

Although Aoi didn't say who it was, Ichinose Qingyue still understood.

"No matter what, you have to go on resolutely." Aoi said to Ichinose Qingyue: "Whether it is good or bad, it is your choice and what you insist on."

Ichinose Qingyue felt that she had heard such words somewhere.

Pursing her lips slightly, Ichinose Qingyue said sincerely: "Thank you."

Aoi didn't react at all, she just closed her eyes again and enjoyed the hot spring bath.

When Xia Tingfei came out of the hot spring, Nishinomiya Liuli also came out of the hot spring.

The yukata in this hotel is really not that good-looking.

Very simple, there is not much difference in the shape of men's and women's yukata.

Only the color is different.

But Xia Tingfei felt that the colored glaze, which looked like a begonia emerging from the water, was particularly beautiful at this moment.

"There is a shrine on the mountain, do you want to go?"

Xia Tingfei invited like this.

Nishimiya Ruri nodded without any hesitation.

Wearing yukata and wearing wooden clogs, they walked towards the shrine.

The clattering sound of wooden clogs on the bluestone steps was particularly noticeable in the silent and dark night.

Xia Tingfei didn't think he could find his way to the shrine.

At the beginning, there was bright moonlight illuminating the two of them.

Later, stone lanterns on both sides of the shrine illuminated the two of them.

The stone lantern is covered with moss, but it has a particularly new feeling.

This is probably because there are more tourists here because it is a holy land of love, so it is new.

Holding Nishimiya Ruri's hand, he walked step by step to the torii gate.

After a slight touch, some red paint was stained on the fingers.

Fresh red paint!

After looking around, there was really nothing interesting to see in the main shrine here.

It was in dilapidated condition, as if no one had repaired it.

However, the sacred tree here is very rare, with lush branches and leaves, and the tree is more than ten meters high.

The bark is rugged and full of vicissitudes of life.

The huge rope is trapped at the root of the sacred tree.

The branches of the sacred tree are covered with dense red ropes and wooden signs. The wooden signs jingle and jingle when the breeze blows.

Under the sacred tree, there is a slightly tattered wooden frame for ema, with many ema tied to it.

On the painted horse, intensive wishes are written.

Most of them are painted with heart-shaped patterns, but some are ugly, some are naughty, and some are too rigid.

Xia Tingfei and Nishimiya Liuli squatted in front of the Ema wooden frame, looking at the Ema's wish.

"I hope I can have a happy love."

He read out a wish on an Ema.

Nishimiya Ruri also looked at Ema and read out the words written on it: "I hope to find a suitable boyfriend."

Most of them are ema praying for love. Looking at the ema here, Nishimiya Ruri couldn't help but smile.

"Hopefully, he can turn around."

Xia Tingfei read out another wish for Ema, but this wish was not very beautiful.

The writing on it seemed too mean and confusing.

It's as if a girl wrote it when she was extremely angry and panicked.

Nishimiya Ruri was silent for a moment, and then recited a few more wishes for Ema.

"I hope we can grow old together and live a happy life."
