Chapter 135 Rinne's Story: Enjoying a Date
This Saturday was delightful, as if it possessed a buff that allowed me to unwind and relax after years of tension, or perhaps it was because I was accompanied by a beautiful companion...
It is now 11:05 a.m., and the sun in the sky is gradually becoming scorching hot.
After petting the cat with Sawa, the two left the park and continued walking on the streets of Tengu City.
Ming and Shahe held each other's hands the whole way, gently holding the soft, boneless hands. Ming never paid attention to the stares of passersby as they walked.
As long as I keep holding her hand, that should be fine. This time... I won't let go of her hand again...
Just then, Sawa's stomach rumbled. Sawa blushed instantly, but Ming smiled, gently stroking her abdomen before saying:
"Let's find a place to eat." Not far away, the two spotted a Chinese restaurant. Stepping inside, they were greeted by a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Ming and Shahe found a seat by the window. The wide variety of dishes on the menu made them a little dizzy.
Ming smiled and asked Sawa what she wanted to eat. Sawa pointed to the braised pork belly and pine fish on the plate. Ming also ordered a plate of Yangzhou fried rice and some dumplings.
The dishes were quickly served, and a dazzling array of delicious food caught the girl's eye. Seeing this, Ming immediately picked up some food for Sawa and said gently:
"Eat more, you must be starving." Sawa nodded shyly and began to eat her food in small bites.
Halfway through the meal, Sawa's eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up a piece of fish and held it to Ming's lips. "Ming-kun, you should eat too! This Songhua fish is super delicious." Ming was slightly taken aback, then happily opened his mouth and ate it.
Seeing Mingyi eating with an unprecedentedly satisfied expression, Sawa couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
"It seems Mingjun is also happy about our first date since we became lovers!"
After swallowing the fish, Ming smiled and replied, "As long as I'm with you, every day is happy." Upon hearing this, Sawa couldn't help but cover her face with joy to hide her shyness.
"Yes! Mingjun is right! Let's do all the things we want to do for our date today. I'll do my homework carefully!"
After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.
After leaving the restaurant, Sawa pulled Ming to the photo studio next to the arcade. "Ming-kun, how about we take some photo booth pictures? It's a must-do on a date." Ming readily agreed.
In the cramped photo space, the two struck various sweet poses, sometimes pouting, sometimes making heart shapes with their hands.
After the photo was taken, Sawa carefully held the printed photo as if it were a rare treasure.
Next, they went to the movie theater. In the dark theater, Sawa leaned on Ming's shoulder as they shared a bucket of popcorn.
The movie was heartwarming and touching. Sawa was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears, and Ming quietly held her hand to comfort her.
After leaving the dimly lit cinema filled with fantastical lights and shadows, the sunlight shone brightly on the street.
The two walked slowly forward, when suddenly their eyes were drawn to a colorful claw machine by the roadside, flashing an alluring light.
Through the transparent glass window, you can clearly see all kinds of cute dolls displayed inside, among which a fluffy kitten doll is particularly eye-catching.
"Ming-kun! I want this! Is it okay! Is it okay! Is it okay!" Sawa held Ming's hand and looked at him, pleading in an incredibly cute way.
Looking at Sawa's adorable appearance, Ming smiled indulgently:
“Of course.” So he exchanged some coins and put them into the claw machine.
Ming focused intently, manipulating the clamp, trying again and again, but always falling just short. Shahe cheered him on from the side, occasionally offering pointers.
"Mingjun, don't give up! Just a little bit! Here, here! Wait, I think we can change our position here, maybe we can catch him!"
Finally, after several failed attempts, the clips firmly grasped the kitten plush toy and successfully brought it out.
"Wow, Ming-kun is amazing!" Sawa excitedly hugged Ming and took the plush toy, unable to put it down.
At that moment, the sky began to glow with the colors of sunset, and the crimson afterglow bathed the two of them, like the countless dreams the boy had fantasized about over the past 25 years, but this time it was undeniably real…
As Ming walked, he felt the road beneath his feet seemed incredibly long, and each step felt as light as walking on cotton.
Without realizing it, he subconsciously let go of the gauze and that incredibly warm hand, and tears blurred his vision once again, slowly sliding down his cheeks.
"Ming-jun, what's wrong?" Sawa asked with concern.
"...It's nothing, it just feels like there's some sand in my eye..."
"Is that so? Do you want me to blow it out for you? After all, if you rub your eyes too much when you get sand in them, they'll turn red..."
"No need, it's alright..."
If Ming said that the last time he cried was because of that dreamlike feeling, then this time it was the overwhelming feeling of his 25 years of accumulated loneliness being filled all at once, like an empty water tank being filled with water called "her," causing his tears to flow with joy.
"Um... Sawa, where are you planning to go next? Is there a way to make this date last a little longer?... I'd love if it were a little longer than it was before. I want to experience this feeling a little longer... Is that okay?"
After listening, Sawa tilted her head and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Ming-kun, how about we go to the mountaintop on the edge of Tiangong City to see the night view? We can overlook the entire Tiangong City from there, it must be beautiful." Ming immediately nodded in agreement.
They took a cable car to the top of the mountain. The night air was a bit chilly, so Ming thoughtfully draped his coat over Shahe's shoulders.
Standing atop the mountain, the city lights shone like stars. Shahe nestled in Ming's arms. "Ming-jun, let's come here to see the night view like this often in the future."
Ming held her tightly and whispered in response:
"it is good!"
However, good times are always fleeting. As evening approached, the date was drawing to a close.
The two of them took a bus back to the front of their shared house.
Stepping inside, Ming gently turned on the living room light. Watching Sawa walk towards her room, Ming never uttered a word to stop her, nor did she take that step. Only after calming her mind did she say:
"I'm really happy today, Sawa."
"Me too, Ming-kun." Sawa tiptoed and gave Ming a light kiss on the cheek, then turned and went back to her room.
Ming watched Sawa's retreating figure as she returned to her room, his heart filled with happiness. He knew that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, as long as they were together, everything would be alright.
Back in his room, Ming lay down dejectedly. He already understood the situation and the feeling of reluctance to part, which kept him awake for a long time.
I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling incredibly frustrated. Time ticked by, the night grew deeper, and all around me was silent except for the clear ticking of the clock on the wall.
The clock slowly struck midnight. Just then, the door that had been tightly closed for so long suddenly creaked open and was then slowly pushed open from the outside.
A slightly shy figure walked in, and Ming looked closely and realized it was Sawa.
She clutched a soft pillow tightly in her arms, and because she had just taken a shower and lay down, her hair wasn't braided into the usual three-strand braids. Instead, she walked in with her hair down, wearing a slightly thin cat-patterned pajama.
"Huh? Is something the matter? Sawa..."
“Mingjun…”
The girl blushed and hesitated to say the second half of her sentence. Even the usually composed Ming blushed upon seeing this, his mind wandering wildly.
After careful consideration and hesitation, Sawa whispered:
"Ming-jun, my air conditioner is broken, and it's so hot. Can I sleep here for the night?" Ming's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned even redder. But seeing Shahe's uneasy expression, he quickly calmed down.
“Okay, no problem.” Ming shifted his position, gesturing for Sawa to get into bed. Sawa slowly walked to the bedside and lay down, very close to Ming, able to hear each other’s heartbeats.
Ming stiffened nervously, while Sawa glanced at him secretly and couldn't help but laugh.
"Ming-kun, don't be so nervous." Sawa's words made Ming relax a little.
At night, Ming would occasionally turn his head to look at Shahe. The moonlight shone on her serene face, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room.
Sawa woke up to find her hand resting on Ming's arm, and her face instantly turned bright red. Ming also woke up, and seeing Sawa's shy expression, he gently took her hand in his.
Sawa looked up at Ming, her eyes full of love. "Good morning, Ming-kun." Ming smiled and replied, "Good morning, Sawa." After getting up, the two prepared breakfast together.
Ming was frying eggs, and Sha was toasting bread; a warm and cozy atmosphere filled the kitchen.
In the distance, the pink-haired girl who had appeared in Mingmeng's dream was watching all this from a high-rise building, her veil fluttering in the wind.
"This is the greatest threat that my subconscious has warned me about since I was born. Now it has also fallen into the [Paradise]. It seems that it no longer needs to be dealt with."
The girl murmured to herself, and a large number of memories belonging to Ming surfaced in her mind. When she saw the blue-haired boy who had been treated uniquely in her memories, his mechanical, lifeless eyes flickered.
"Yes, now that the greatest threat in our subconscious has lost its dangerous power, let's continue the expansion of [Paradise]... Wait... wait a little longer, and then... once it covers the entire Tiangong City, I will be able to truly see it..."
In this reality
When Tohka's spiritual power unexpectedly went out of control, at that very moment, the sky was suddenly enveloped in a faint pink light, as if a mysterious and beautiful curtain was slowly falling.
The pink light curtain spread rapidly, forming a huge barrier in the blink of an eye that tightly enveloped the entire Tiangong City.
This barrier, named "Paradise of Calamity," is like an invisible giant hand, opening its wide embrace and mercilessly isolating Tiangong City from the outside world.
With the arrival of the barrier, Shido and the Heavy Spirits in Tengu City, along with many ordinary people, lost consciousness, thus beginning this thrilling story...
