Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 178 Matcha-colored Kamogawa
At dusk, the sky gradually turned a touch of orange.

The sparkling golden colors on the river complement each other, like a flowing oil painting.

The Kamogawa River in Kyoto shows a different charm after the rain.

On both sides of the Kamogawa River, water drops remaining on the eaves of ancient wooden buildings dripped, making a crisp sound.

The stone pavement on the street is still wet, and the calm puddles reflect the figures of the strolling people.

More and more people gathered by the river.

The singer playing the guitar sang in a strange tune, a few students from the light music department who had returned from school were chattering about the performance, and several couples were sitting by the river in a daze.

There are also some tourists who come from afar, holding cameras to capture this beautiful moment, or holding paintbrushes to sketch the scenery along the river on paper.

Time flows through everyone in the same way, but everyone spends time in different ways.

A man and woman were walking down the steps by the Kamogawa River.

"Mr. Hatsukano, the surrounding environment is so beautiful, can we play a little game together?" Natsume Qingha pleaded with the girl walking in front in a child-like tone.

"Rules of the game." Hatsugano Suzune agreed happily.

"It's very simple, one person asks the question and the other person answers." Natsume Qingyu explained happily.

The two continued walking and walked onto the rocks in the middle of the Kamogawa River.

"About which aspect?" Hatsugano Suzune stood on a stone slab in the river and turned around gracefully.

Put your hands behind your back and face him.

Her long hair was swaying, and a fragrance was blowing in the breeze.

"That aspect you want to know." Natsume Qingyu didn't think too much at all. Anyway, they were not people who would ask each other vulgar questions.

"Who goes first?" Hatsukano Suzune sighed softly as if she couldn't bear it.

"Ladies first," Natsume Kiyoha said as a gentleman.

Hatsukano Suzune nodded quietly and did not ask questions immediately. Instead, she looked away and carefully considered his intentions.

She couldn't understand Natsume's stupid brain.

What she was sure of was that the other party didn't want to go through a questioning session on classroom knowledge.

So, what are the good questions to ask?
This stumped her.

"Don't worry, no matter what you ask, I'm sure to make it lively and interesting." Natsume Qingyu tried to relieve her pressure.

"What should I say?" The cunning girl in front of him was very vicious and vicious in her moves. She just threw the question back, just to suppress him.

"Poetry and wine take advantage of the youth." Natsume Qingyu exhaled and said calmly.

Hatsukano Suzune was slightly stunned, and seemed to begin to understand the meaning of this game.

Soon, she thought of another question that even she found boring, to test him.

"What's flowing on the bluestone road?" she said softly.

The answer is, sunshine and rain.

"It's an orange soda that only belongs to autumn." Natsume Qingyu thought for a moment and then answered.

Hatsukano Suzune praised it very much, but it was inconsistent with her reference answer, so she could only draw a circle.

"What's in front of me?" Hatsukano Suzune asked again.

The answer is, a big idiot.

"A boy looking forward to the chirping of cicadas and the gentle breeze in midsummer." Natsume Qingha replied with a smile.

It is inconsistent with the reference answer and the answer is wrong.

A red maple leaf fell from a high place, flying between them.

The eyes following the leaves finally meet together.

For a moment, Hatsukano Suzune suddenly felt that the boring scenery was beautiful.

But she didn't know how to describe it.

"What's in front of you?" Hatsukano Suzune was curious about how he, with his unique eyes, would describe the scene in front of him.

Natsume Qingyu thought for a while and said deeply as if reciting poetry.

“One Man’s Utopia.”

Off topic, wrong answer...

The red maple leaf lightly touched the girl's chest and rested on it.

"Smooth talk." Hatsukano Suzune patted the maple leaf, her cheeks gradually became hot, she quickly turned around and continued to jump towards the other side of the Kamogawa River, pretending that nothing happened.

"Why do you want to take this path?" Hatsukano Suzune turned around and asked the last question she could think of.

"Don't you know?" Natsume Qingyu tilted his head slightly, pretending to be surprised.

"What do you know?" Hatsugano Suzune was confused.

"At the end of this road, there is a matcha ice cream shop. Although I don't know if it is authentic or not, you can still try it." The boy pointed at the realistic answer he just found when he raised his eyes.

"It's your turn to ask." Hatsukano Suzune nodded silently.

"What music are they playing?" Natsume Qingyu looked at the students holding various instruments on the bank and asked.

"Castle in the Sky." Hatsukano Suzune answered immediately.

"What kind of bird is that?" The boy was as shocked as if he had found a small fish or shrimp under a rock.

"heron."

While they were asking questions, they stepped on the river stones and skipped toward the other side of the Kamogawa River.

"Will the Kamogawa River flow to Tokyo?" The boy's voice seemed to become a little distant.

"No." The girl subconsciously slowed down.

"What are you reading recently?" The boy's voice became louder again.

"You know all this, right?" The girl jumped lightly onto a stone turtle. The shock was transmitted to the water and ripples spread outward.

She stopped and looked back at him.

"Then let me ask some questions that I don't know." The boy jumped from another stone turtle to near her, and new ripples appeared on the water.

"Tell me." I don't know why, but the girl suddenly felt very happy. She pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

The smile on his face was very clean, like a deer breaking into the forest in the early morning.

"Are you cold?" The young man's voice blew into the first ray of wind in the mountains.

"It's not cold." Hatsugano Suzune put away her smile, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at him calmly as if everything had returned to calm.

The clear autumn wind suddenly rose and swept along the water of Kamogawa River.

It broke up the two reflections on the water, causing ripples to spread in all directions.

They hit the turtle stone and turned back, tightly intertwined.

Natsume Qingyu took off his coat and put it on the girl who was close at hand.

Hatsukano Suzune didn't dare to hide. She always felt that the turtle shell under her feet was so slippery that if she panicked, she would fall into the cold river water.

"I like you."

Natsume Qingyu said seriously.

"I know that."

Hatsukano Suzune stretched out a hand and slightly held the huge coat around her shoulders tightly.

"I'm afraid you've forgotten." Natsume Qingyu showed a smile as clear as an autumn day.

A few wild ducks swam leisurely by, causing ripples on the water, breaking the tranquility.

"how come……"

The girl's voice rippled, soft and sweet.

"Don't you think, when we sneaked out, it felt like we were on a date."

Natsume Kiyoha calmly faced the direction of the Kamogawa River and looked into the distance.

"This is not a date."

Hatsukano Suzune's eyes became firm again, her cheeks couldn't help but turn cherry blossom red, and she looked at Natsume Kiyoshi's side face looking into the distance.

"It seems."

A brighter smile appeared on Natsume Kiyoha's handsome face, making every scene in Kamogawa seem a little dimmer.

The water plants on the river bank were slightly lowered by the cool wind. Hatsukano Suzune couldn't guess what he was thinking, but she only thought that the floating bottle of eternal flower in his hand was very beautiful.

"Minister Hatsukano, after what happened just now, I am more convinced of a truth." The young man who noticed her gaze held up the beautiful bottle of eternal flower ephemera.

"What."

"It's nothing to fall in love with someone."

Natsume Qingha thought of the old man holding an Akita dog, and the yard where flowers were still blooming, and turned to look at her beautiful eyes.

“It’s amazing to continue to love.”

The sun gently moved a position to the west, and the two figures were hidden in the shadows of the waves.

Some people say that love is a kind of drug, and many people will inevitably do stupid things when they are deeply involved in it.

In the eyes of rational people, they are like clowns wearing a red nose that cannot be removed, having fun after dinner.

But he thought, that's what falling in love feels like.

How many people don't have the real courage to taste this kind of drug throughout their lives.

That emotion was a complete deception and deprivation from the beginning.

Everything is based on the mentality of 'as long as I do this, the other person may fall in love with me' and 'as long as I do this, the other person may still love me'.

There are not many people in the world who really care about you.

There must be many people who laugh at themselves, call themselves fools or lunatics.

But the courage to drink it even though you know it is a bowl of poison is actually unparalleled.

It was like at that moment, I had defeated the world, and I didn’t care about anything else.

I can be out of the eyes of others, but you can't be out of my eyes.

That is an infinitely magnified selfishness that can make you say silly things like 'I can't live without you' or 'I can't live without you'.

He was like a lunatic, like a great ape who had lost his mind and could only walk upright.

But there must always be such a group of all kinds of lunatics in the world to make ordinary bitterness something more intriguing in life.

Natsume Qingha recalled the funny scene of a man chasing a taxi in a certain movie, and this time he had new insights.

Ever since hormones began to agitate, everyone will have a standard and several requirements for the person they like.

And you can boldly declare to the outside world that if you are satisfied, you will like it, and if you are not satisfied, you will have no chance.

Commonly known as, xp.

But the truth is, when the person you really love comes along.

Even if none of the above requirements appear, people will sink hopelessly.

And all the previous requests seem to become bonus points for the other party in the future.

On the contrary, for the person who does not love, no matter how hard he tries to meet all the requirements, people will still find more requirements to not love him.

True love is like the perdition of free will and is never rational.

Falling in love with someone is indeed a kind of poison.

The only antidote is always in the hands of the person you love.

She is also free.

"That's right." The girl who stared into his eyes smiled slightly.

This time, it was the boy's turn to guess.

There is a bright red maple leaf flying away in the wind and water.

You will probably arrive in Nara.

They queued up to buy ice cream at the ice cream shop.

It's matcha flavored.

The kind boss noticed Hatsukano Suzune's cuteness and gave her an extra ice cream ball.

The hateful boss was jealous of Natsume Kiyoha's handsomeness and cut him an ice cream ball.

The principle of ice cream cost conservation is realized.

"Do you want to change?" Hatsukano Suzune said happily before starting.

"No need, I'm losing weight." Natsume Qingyu said, while using a small spoon to fiercely take a mouthful of ice cream into his mouth.

It's cold, really cold!
You'll die if you take off your thick coat and eat ice cream in the fall.

I can eat a little less, maybe a little.

"lose weight?"

"Ah? Don't you know the encyclopedia? Matcha ice cream contains high sugar and fat, and a little carelessness will ruin a person's figure." Natsume Kiyoshi was definitely not jealous of the ice cream ball, but just a kind reminder.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not fat." Hatsukano Suzune didn't care at all, and even had great confidence in her figure.

"It's a taboo not to be careful." Natsume Qingyu clicked his tongue a few times and said old-fashionedly.

Hatsukano Suzune ignored him, took a big spoonful of smoothie, put it into her small mouth, and widened her beautiful eyes.

“So delicious.”

She held the small spoon in her mouth, looked over, and asked:
"Is it delicious?"

"Um……"

Natsume Qingha's DNA told him to respond positively to this situation.

After all, the ice cream category was chosen by the other party.

"It's very delicious." The young man shuddered and said calmly.

"You should keep your coat on."

Hatsukano Suzune returned the coat draped over her shoulders, "I have stayed in the North Country for a long time, and this temperature is not a problem at all."

The young man who was almost freezing was no longer polite and quickly put it on, showing an expression of returning to the warmth of spring.

Expression Coach: Fulilian.

"Thank you." The young man who took back his clothes thanked him enthusiastically.

"You're welcome."

Hatsukano Suzune put another scoop of ice cream into her mouth and shuddered.

The scene turned cold for a while.

So, next came the tugging over a coat.

The uncle walking his dog by couldn't help but complain.

“Are all couples’ costumes now only sold in one piece?”

When the uncle walked away, the two stunned people looked at each other and smiled.

The road behind became inexplicably warmer.

A memory disc popped up again in Natsume Kiyoha's life corridor.

I still remember that when I was in middle school in Dongguo, there was always such a friend in my class.

During the season when white mist can appear on the windows with every breath, he always wants to eat ice cream.

Even if he treats you, you must accompany him.

I didn’t understand it then, but I do understand it now.

Probably eating ice cream with good friends in autumn and winter, shivering and chatting together is also a rare and crazy fun thing.

While Natsume Kiyoha was looking forward to winter chatting around the fire, Hatsukano Suzune scooped up the ice cream with a small spoon from time to time, put it into his mouth, and savored it carefully.

I don’t know if this matcha ice cream is authentic from Uji.

She ate so happily.

Natsume Qingyu can hardly remember what she looked like in the beginning.

I just remember that the last ray of light on the Kamogawa River today was also matcha color.
