Chapter 335 A Study Trip to Hawaii with a Date with Tianhai Qimingyue (22)
At night in Hawaii, the tourist streets where day and night are reversed seem to be like daytime.
Palm trees swaying with the sea breeze on both sides of the streets, colorful shops and restaurants exuding a cheerful atmosphere, and various souvenirs and unique handicrafts shining in the windows, attracting tourists to stop and admire.
In the corner of the street, the seven bright moons in the sky and the sea are waiting quietly under the palm trees.
She was wearing an elegant summer dress, with her snowy shoulders exposed, and her beautiful face glowed charmingly under the neon lights.
Her eyes wandered among the strolling tourists, occasionally stopping at the seascape in the distance with an expression as if she had disappeared.
"July."
After being tapped on the left shoulder, Tianhai Qimingyue looked back following the sound, but did not find anyone's shadow.
The girl sighed helplessly, folded her arms, and glanced at the face of a guy on the right with a look that said "you are boring", and then continued to cast her gaze towards the sea level where the sea breeze was blowing.
"How long have you been waiting here in July?" Sakakibara leaned his face closer again.
Tianhai Qimingyue only saw that face appearing in her sight again. She didn't want to face it, so she closed her eyes and said:
"I'm not waiting here just for you to come over and tease me."
Compared to the afternoon, Tianhai Qimingyue was dressed much more delicately at this moment.
Her hair was specially combed into a rare low ponytail.
Her clothes were also changed from ordinary clothes to a slim and elegant dress, and there seemed to be some light makeup on her already delicate face.
Sakakihara Raku saw all these details.
Thinking of this, and facing the indifferent look of Qi Qi with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
In the afternoon, although a certain little devil reluctantly agreed to her evening invitation, her behavior showed that she was looking forward to it in her heart. Not only did she spend time dressing up, but she also arrived at the appointed venue earlier than herself.
Sakakibara put his hands in his pockets and tilted the side of Amami Nanamiyue's face:
"How long have you been waiting here early?"
"Not long."
"Half an hour isn't too long?"
Amami Nanamigetsu opened her eyes to look at him, and Sakakihara Raku understood that she was wondering why he knew that she was waiting here half an hour early.
Sakakibara smiled lightly, pinched his chin with his hand, and made a very classic Sherlock Holmes meditative gesture. Then, when Amami Nanamiyue was slightly expecting some wonderful reasoning from him, he said lightly:
"Guess."
Tianhai Qimingyue suddenly lost interest, closed her eyes again, clasped her hands in front of her skirt and said:
"I thought my brother could come up with some wonderful inferences that would make me feel wonderful, but I didn't expect that he was just trying to trick me."
"This is wrong. The skill of trying to guide the suspect or related persons to provide important information by talking to them is also part of the detective's skills."
Tianhai Qimingyue did not hesitate and began to take the initiative to move forward towards the bustling Hawaii night market.
Raku Sakakihara followed her and walked with her for a short while. During this period, he looked and glanced many times at the carefully dressed attire of Amami Nanamigetsu next to him:
"This should be considered our first date?"
"The time at the amusement park on Shikoku Island doesn't count?"
"That time in July, you framed me, okay? I just wanted to take care of your mood and just play with you."
Sakakibara took a deep breath of the cool night air, soothed the mood in his chest and said:
"Why do you like me in July?"
"I have answered this question because you are too stupid and can serve as a foil to me."
Sakakibara laughed again: "If you don't want to admit that I am better than you, just say so. Attacking my personality to show your own intelligence in July is not an aboveboard thing."
"I didn't expect you to be so confident, brother, but a fool is a fool. No matter what, a fool can't change the fact that he is a fool."
"In July, always calling someone stupid will lower that person's opinion of you."
"Then you lowered it?"
"No."
"so?"
"So I am the only exception." Sakakihara nodded with his chest raised, his hands in his pockets, and his tone was full of confidence.
Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him with disgust, turned around and said:
"Sure enough, there are people in this world who will make the atmosphere bad just by being there."
"Ah? Are you introducing yourself in July? After all, I have never seen anyone who can sit alone outside the crowd and read a book when the classmates are celebrating at the bonfire and barbecue. Not even a single student is willing to take the initiative to go Find her."
Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her arms and tapped her arms impatiently: "That's right, that's why I try to avoid contact with others."
It is a fact that Xiao Qiyue is very withdrawn among her classmates.
On the one hand she is a hedgehog herself, on the other hand she is indifferent to many things.
Many times she would just read alone, and her classmates would not take the initiative to talk to her. They would only talk to her if there was something necessary in the class.
"July."
"do what?"
"Have you made any new friends since you were transferred out of Class 1?"
"I don't like saying things that don't require any additional explanation."
"Just sit in your seat and read a book every day?"
"got used to."
Sakakihara couldn't help but said to her: "What an idiot."
Tianhai Qimingyue didn't appreciate it: "I'm used to it."
If there was anything that impressed me most about Qiyue, apart from the little devil who liked to tease people at the beginning, it was the fact that she was always alone.
Raku Sakakibara remembers the image of her sitting in the Literature Department classroom, holding a library book that was blown open by the wind, and looking blankly out of the window.
What is she looking at?
What was she thinking?
What is she expecting?
Every time I think about this scene, I can't help but think about these three questions.
Now that I think about it, the reason why July became like this has something to do with me.
Raku Sakakibara and Nanami Nanami stopped at a stall selling Hawaiian fruit milk tea. After buying a cup of milk tea for both of them, Raku Sakakibara handed her the portion he bought for her:
"July, I'm sorry."
"Apologise suddenly?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue took the milk tea and looked at him doubtfully.
"There are many reasons for apologizing, but the biggest one is that I made you sad for so long."
"Then you know the reason?"
Sakakibara looked away, "It's not like I said to you when I was a kid, 'I like smart people.' But in July, you worked so hard for so long, but I like your sister."
"fraud."
".So, don't I apologize to you?"
"How about a cup of milk tea to apologize?" Tianhai Qimingyue answered in a calm voice, which sounded angry but not angry to others.
"What a cup? I will definitely give you countless cups in the future."
"."
Tianhai Qimingyue's sky-blue eyes reflected his look. After a short moment of silence, he said directly:
"If you keep giving me your milk tea alone, I will consider forgiving you."
"."
Sakakibara was speechless with this answer, because no matter how he explained it, his heart was divided into two halves.
Even if I want to be responsible for Qiyue, even if I really want to compensate her forever.
I will also feel guilty because I cannot treat her 100% wholeheartedly.
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at him for a while, then took the initiative to close her eyes. She turned her head and put the milk tea habit to her mouth:
"But that's okay. I've lived for so long and I've learned something, that is, never care about a fool, otherwise the fool will only be so stupid that it makes you feel tight and panicked. If you don't say anything that can't hurt the fool, it will make yourself even more uncomfortable."
"."
Sakakibara's originally somewhat gloomy eyes trembled slightly and began to dilate after hearing her answer.
He even subconsciously turned his head to look at her beautiful appearance beside him in the busy city, gently drinking the milk tea he bought for her.
The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea. July always does this to me.
Many times?
In order not to embarrass myself, to take care of my own mood, I took the initiative to put down my body and my feelings, so that I could treat her with less guilt.
Tianhai Qimingyue probably guessed the thoughts that were surging in someone's mind at this moment. While taking a sip of milk tea, she glanced at him sideways with her right eye.
The thin soft lips left the straw, with a little cuteness, and said lightly:
"Rather than a guy showing off his idiotic knowledge all day long, I hate it even more that this idiot always feels guilty towards me, as if he is giving me charity."
".July" Sakakibara said with a bitter smile as his throat felt a little sore, "The more you say this, the deeper the guilt I feel, okay?"
"Then tell me, I like Qi Mingyue."
"I like Qimingyue."
"Do it again." Tianhai Qimingyue sucked the fine pulp in the milk tea without looking at him.
"I like Qi Mingyue very much."
"do it again."
"I like Qi Mingyue very, very much!"
This sentence was so loud that the tourists in the night market stopped for a second or two because of his voice.
Because this is Hawaii, there are tourists from all over the world.
Some tourists who understand the word "like" in Japanese discovered the two people standing in front of the milk tea stall and thought it was a boy confessing his love to a girl. Some people gave him a thumbs up, while others laughed lightly and enjoyed it. This seemingly romantic scene passed quickly.
Of course, most Chinese tourists understand the word "like".
Tianhai Qimingyue seemed to be very satisfied with what she heard, and also enjoyed everyone's attention that they thought they were a couple, so she sucked the milk tea faster.
The twin-tailed Tianhai Qimingyue once again looked sideways with one eye:
"When we were taking wedding photos before, didn't someone say that they would never like Qi Mingyue?"
"Of course it is -" Sakakihara's voice became longer and softer, and he smiled at the girl, "I was wrong."
"Wrong, right?"
"Of course, who doesn't like Qiyue? Who doesn't like her? If I can't bear it, I will punch that guy."
"Fool."
"Idiots, just be stupid, I -"
Sakakihara stopped talking because he suddenly noticed a soft and delicate hand taking the initiative to hold him.
She slowly opened her fingers like delicate fingers, and interlocked her fingers along the gap. After Sakakihara felt the softness in her hands, she slowly looked at Amami Nanamigetsu beside her. .
She didn't look at herself, she was just drinking milk tea quietly.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Tianhai Qimingyue saw that someone didn't speak. She didn't know if it was because she was too stupid, so she sighed and said:
"Don't get me wrong, I just want you to fulfill your responsibilities as my boyfriend tonight. It doesn't mean that I completely agree with your ideas, nor that I completely reconcile with you."
"July."
"Don't say anything if you are moved. I don't want to take care of your mood every time. This is what you said about taking me out on a date. The date should be like a date."
I don’t know if this is the first time Qi Qi holds her hand with such pure feelings between a man and a woman.
Sakakihara Raku noticed that her cheeks seemed to be a little red.
It cannot be ruled out that the colorful neon lights of the night market are imprinted on her face, but judging from the feeling of the warm little hand held in her own palm, she is shy at this time in July.
"Well."
Sakakibara covered his mouth with the other hand holding the milk tea, and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Tonight, as my boyfriend, I will take you on a formal date, as a gift for our reunion after a long separation. In addition, I secretly tell you in Qiyue that I, among other things, still have the talent for dating, and I will definitely take you to have a good time."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"OK! Let's go then!"
Sakakibara Raku and Nanami Nanami had just passed two stalls when they suddenly stopped.
Tianhai Qimingyue: "What?"
Sakakibara looked back with a smile:
"What activities did you like to do when you were dating in July?"
"Idiots are idiots. If you talk to girls like this, others will screen you out first."
*
It was really the first time that I took Qi Qi out shopping and invited her out on a date.
Sakakihara Raku felt a little incredible.
Because we have known each other for so long, so many things have happened, we have kissed each other, and this is the first official date.
It stands to reason that both of them are bad at dating.
Don't know what to do, what to do.
However, once this kind of thing reaches scenic spots and tourist areas, the problem will be easily solved.
The first is souvenirs, clothes, jewelry and the like.
Raku Sakakibara grabbed a Hawaiian-style wide-brimmed flower straw hat made of palm trees and put it on his head.
Needless to say, things in Hawaii are very colorful and seasonal.
"Try it on in July."
"Wear it for me?"
"What? Didn't I just buy it for you?"
"."
"Isn't this pretty?" Sakakibara smiled and was about to take a photo of Qiyue with his mobile phone.
".Photos, no need."
"I'll use it as my phone wallpaper."
"."
In the end, a photo was left.
After buying a hat, I went shopping.
Watch hula dancing and traditional Hawaiian fire dancing.
Through the list of Hawaiian food compiled by previous classmates, Sakakibara took Nanami Nanami to eat Hawaiian-style roast pork, banana Hawaiian pancakes, Hawaiian raw fish and vegetable rice platter, coconut soup, coconut jelly, and coconut rice.
"Can't eat anymore."
Sakakihara Raku, who was walking by the flower bed on the pedestrian street, looked at her bright eyes under her straw hat, "This is our first date, and you are so weak in July. How can you not eat more? Eat just a little every day. I'm afraid you'll get sick in the future."
"I'm not alive when I'm sick, but I can be fed by you until I die."
"Don't be in a hurry, let's go, let's go to the next place."
The most indispensable thing in Hawaii's tourist streets is entertainment facilities, such as photo stickers and small KTVs.
Anyway, it was a date without purpose, and Sakakibara took Qiyue to the arcade.
July's gaming skills are really not weak, and in Sakakibara Raku's opinion, he and Ruri can also fight back and forth.
There is a haunted house in a large shopping mall, and Tianhai Qimingyue refuses to go there.
"You have to go yourself, I won't go."
"Qi Qi, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"."
Sakakihara Raku decided that he would definitely take Qiyue to a haunted house in the future.
After some experience, it is clear that many things are things that have been experienced before, but when experienced together with Qiyue, they are completely different from others.
Many times she said she was unwilling, but in actual experience, she experienced every place and every contact with great care.
Time passed quietly, and it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Sakakibara Raku and Amami Nanamigetsu were walking on the beach together.
The waves crashed on the beach, and the moonlight shone on the two of them.
"this is for you."
"A scrunchie to tie your hair?"
"Well, it's still a cartoon baby shark. Am I particularly thoughtful?"
"Just give it a try."
Tianhai Qimingyue pondered for a moment and took the small gift from his palm.
Looking at the little shark shining brightly in the moonlight, Qimingyue in Tianhai seemed to have returned to the past.
Even after eleven years, she still remembered the keychain with a cartoon shark that the little boy gave her before leaving.
"July."
"Um?"
"Don't worry about what Liuli said to you before. I do like you. For me, there is a girl like you in this life who is willing to do so much for me, so why wouldn't I like her? Besides, there is a girl like you who is willing to do so much for me. She is also very, very beautiful.”
"." Tianhai Qi Mingyue held two small shark hair ties in her hands and turned to look at him, "There is no lie at all?"
Sakakibara smiled at her and said, "Do you think I lied?"
"No. But words alone are not enough."
"Huh? Then what action do you want me to take."
"July?"
Tianhai Qimingyue seemed to be thinking about something. She turned her head, glanced at the moon on the sea level, and said in a voice as calm as the lake:
"If someone wanted to force us apart, what would you choose?"
"It's simple, never compromise."
"What about action? If you can't fight the other party."
"The worst possible outcome is to fly away."
"Are you serious?"
"real."
The word seriousness is already written on his face.
Tianhai Qi Mingyue also saw it. She turned her hands behind her back and looked at the footprints left by her sandals on the beach:
"I'm going to sleep with you today."
"Go to my room?"
"Um."
"do what?"
"Keep the promise you made."
"?"
