Chapter 82 Chapter 82 IF Line: Childhood Sweethearts (2)…
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei, who was suddenly standing there as if petrified, and waved her open hand in front of him.
"Don't be in a daze, go play! I have to go home and do homework later."
Without waiting for Jinpei Matsuda to answer, she took the initiative to hold Jinpei Matsuda's hand tightly and pulled him into the park.
“…”
Girls' school.
This makes him work harder.
Jinpei Matsuda followed the jumping Momozawa Airi expressionlessly, feeling that junior high school life was really boring.
*
Momozawa Airi also didn't know what to do to simulate a couple's date.
She recalled the plot of the girls' comic that she had discussed with her classmates before, and carefully listed a few key points.
The first thing should be... a drink?
She always saw the protagonist asking if he wanted to go for a drink or something.
Momozawa Airi cleared her throat, deliberately putting on a mature voice, leaned closer to him, and blinked: "Want to go for a drink?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei's expression and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the kind of "I'm so shocked, they're asking me to go for a drink" effect I want.
Since their pocket money was not enough to spend at the cafes and dessert shops commonly seen in girls' comics, Momozawa Airi dragged Matsuda Jinpei to a convenience store in the park.
Since she was the one who suggested the simulated date, Momozawa Airi waved her hand generously: "Pick whatever you want, it's my treat."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her pocket, a little embarrassed: "...Can't be too casual, I can't afford anything over xx yen."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
*
The end result was that each person got a bottle of ordinary juice.
Momozawa Airi sat on the bench, recalling how she often saw the male and female protagonists clinking glasses very elegantly on TV.
She blinked, followed suit, stretched out her hand, raised the juice, and motioned for Jinpei Matsuda to clink glasses with her.
Hearing the crisp sound of juice bottles clinking together, Momozawa Airi sighed, "I feel like I've matured so much all of a sudden, like an adult toasting in a fancy restaurant."
Then he gulped down a mouthful of peach juice.
Matsuda Jinpei glanced disdainfully at the juice bottle in his hand and said, "When adults toast, they usually drink."
Momozawa Airi: "Jinpei, you're still a child, you can't drink."
She gulped down another mouthful of peach juice and found the sweet juice to be more delicious.
"Besides, if you drink alcohol now, you will definitely pass out after just a few sips."
Momozawa Airi reasoned seriously.
Suddenly, she tilted her head and fell onto the bench with a thud, like a robot that had run out of power.
"Pah--just like this, I have to carry you back."
Momozawa Airi took the initiative to add the sound effects.
Matsuda Jinpei was startled and didn't have time to make room for her. He only felt a few strands of hair resting on his hanging arms.
Momozawa Airi's head was resting on his right thigh.
Jinpei Matsuda's whole body was tense, and he subconsciously wanted to retract his legs, but he was afraid that Momozawa Airi's head would hit the chair, so he could only stop there awkwardly.
Momozawa Airi was completely oblivious to the inner conflict of the people around her. Instead, she looked at him from this position: "Jinping, you look weird from this angle."
I instantly forgot the topic of drinking that we were just talking about.
Matsuda Jinpei responded dryly, rarely failing to use his venomous tongue to retort, "...Nonsense, that's not strange at all."
His clear blue eyes were fixed on the park guide sign in front of him, without glancing downwards.
"It looks better when you don't look directly at it."
“…”
"Why don't you try looking down at me?" Momozawa Airi suggested, "Maybe it will help."
“…”
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth, feeling inexplicably that if he didn't do this, he would seem like a loser.
He paused, then slowly lowered his head, his eyes moving downward until they met those clear eyes.
The weather is very comfortable today.
A gentle breeze blew through the air, bringing the fragrance of the flowers in the park.
Momozawa Airi blinked and tilted her head.
Her hair slid gently across Jinpei Matsuda's arm as her movements changed, leaving a subtle touch that felt like a breeze.
"Zhen Ping, you are so well behaved, like a cute little puppy."
Momozawa Airi said sincerely.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
“…You bastard!!”
Matsuda Jinpei, who was successfully pissed off, raised his hand in anger and accurately pinched the soft flesh on Momozawa Airi's face.
Pinch it.
Pinch it.
Momozawa Airi's cheeks are soft and feel great to pinch.
Matsuda Jinpei gradually got rid of his shyness and showed some of his usual mischievousness again. He squeezed the flesh on her face with his hands, forcing Momozawa Airi to make funny faces.
Matsuda Jinpei looked down at her, his eyes filled with malicious mockery: "Are you admitting defeat?"
"Ahhh, don't pinch my face!!" Momozawa Airi complained incoherently, "If you pinch it, it won't be cute anymore!"
She quickly sat up and escaped from Jinpei Matsuda's clutches.
"Take that back." Momozawa Airi shook her head seriously. "You're not a good kid at all. You're not a cute little puppy."
Jinpei Matsuda picked up the juice beside him in a good mood, tilted his head back and took a sip.
Momozawa Airi used her trump card: "I want to tell others that you just cried out of shyness."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
It's a new round of fighting.
Momozawa Airi was a little prepared this time and didn't let Matsuda Jinpei gain the advantage in posture. They played back and forth for many rounds.
The breeze blew again.
Jinpei Matsuda felt as if his arm was touching the ends of Momozawa Airi's hair again.
There is an indescribable feeling.
*
After a while, the juice was almost finished.
Momozawa Airi happily ticked the box for "drink" in her mind.
What to do next?
The kind that makes people dokidoki...
Momozawa Airi couldn't think of it.
She scratched her head and caught a glimpse of a couple in the distance with their backs to them. Her eyes lit up: "Let's see what real couples usually do!"
Matsuda Jinpei tutted nonchalantly, "What's so good about learning this?"
Then he glanced away with a serious expression.
The couple first huddled together and whispered to each other.
Rubbing ears and cheeks together.
"?"
Jinpei Matsuda was puzzled.
Why do you have to lean so close to talk? Can't you speak louder?
The girl seemed to be amused and was gently hitting the boy's chest with her fist.
The boy let her hit him with a smile. After a while, he held her rebellious hand and said something with a smile.
"?"
Matsuda Jinpei was confused.
Why can you laugh even after being beaten?
The couple began to kiss.
It's quite intense.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Jinpei Matsuda had no confusion or doubts.
Jinpei Matsuda's face turned red instantly.
He subconsciously looked to the side, only to find that Momozawa Airi, with a flushed face, also turned to look at him.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then they stood up at the same time.
"...We're tired of sitting here, let's go play!!"
“…Okay, alright.”
*
It was not until she ran a very long distance that the heat on Momozawa Airi's face slowly cooled down.
Wow, so shy.
A couple's kiss...is that what it's like?
It looks different from the ones in the girls' comics.
Feeling the heat on her face rising again, Momozawa Airi quickly covered her face with her hands and patted them to hide the truth, fearing that Matsuda Jinpei beside her would notice.
After walking for a while, she came to a small grove of low trees. She looked around and her attention was soon diverted.
Momozawa Airi reached out and grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's hand, shaking it happily: "Let's go climb a tree!"
The blush on Matsuda Jinpei's face had just faded, and he was eager to find something to distract himself: "...Okay."
So I went to climb a tree.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara have been playing together since they were young. Their childhood entertainment activities were very rich, and climbing a tree was naturally nothing.
He climbed up easily, sat down on it, and waved to Momozawa Airi.
Momozawa Airi tried to climb for a while with difficulty, but to no avail.
She estimated the distance and said with a little frustration: "I don't think I can climb up."
The tree branches where she could stand were not easy to reach for her, but for Jinpei Matsuda, who often climbed up and down, it was a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei who fell easily from the tree with a bit of frustration: "...We are obviously about the same height."
She stretched out her hand to indicate the height difference between their heads.
"Huh?" Momozawa Airi blinked, a little surprised, "I'm taller than you!"
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He widened his eyes, revealing a hint of disbelief: "What?"
Momozawa Airi kept her hands pressed against her head: "Look, I'm taller than you!"
She tried to maintain the horizontal movement until her hand moved to the top of Matsuda Jinpei's head.
Momozawa Airi accurately measured a short distance with her index finger and thumb: "I'm this much taller than you."
Although she had learned about the developmental time difference between boys and girls in physiology class, Momozawa Airi still boasted cockily, "Jinping, you're not as tall as me."
She put her hands on her hips and looked at Jinpei Matsuda, who was gradually gritting his teeth, with satisfaction.
"If you're not convinced, let's go to the tree and have a duel."
Momozawa Airi pointed to the tree next to her.
So we went to the tree to compare our heights.
Adhering to the civilized rule of "not scratching on the tree casually", Momozawa Airi measured her height and lightly marked it with her fingernails.
She stared intently at Jinpei Matsuda, who stood with his back against the tree.
The top of her head didn't reach her height mark.
She is indeed taller than Jinpei Matsuda!!
Momozawa Airi approached Matsuda Jinpei very proudly and stuck out her tongue: "Lulululu."
She again used her thumb and index finger to indicate a short distance, and without saying anything, she waved it meaningfully in front of Matsuda Jinpei's eyes.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
Jinpei Matsuda was a little depressed.
Still a little unhappy.
I also feel a little unwilling.
And a little bit...
Momozawa Airi was very close to him at this time, and the air he breathed was almost filled with the scent of peach juice.
Speaking of which, Momozawa Airi's face is a bit like a soft peach.
It is round and soft, and now it has a faint pink hue due to excitement, like a fresh and juicy peach that will release juice if you poke it.
Matsuda Jinpei turned his head away, pausing for a moment before speaking again calmly: "Hey, do you want to climb a tree?"
He nodded and indicated the spot in the tree where he had just been.
"I want to." Momozawa Airi suddenly became a little depressed. "I can't climb up."
"I'll take you up there."
Jinpei Matsuda put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a deliberately casual tone, thinking that this would make him appear mature.
——Trying to reveal a mature temperament that does not match his height, and regain some of the "shorter than Momozawa Airi" status.
"?" Momozawa Airi blinked and looked at Matsuda Jinpei who was squatting under the tree. "How do I lead him?"
Matsuda Jinpei tilted his head, pointed at his shoulder, and said calmly, "If you step on this, you can reach the tree trunk above."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
This tree is not tall, it can even be considered short.
But she was still a little confused: "This is not good..."
That's stepping on Jinpei Matsuda's shoulders_(:з)∠)_
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows indifferently, supported his chin with his hand, and pretended to be impatient.
There is a bit of childish youthfulness on the young face.
"Stop dawdling and hurry up."
"All right."
Momozawa Airi thought of the pile of homework she hadn't finished yet, and felt that she really had to make the most of every minute of her play time.
She didn't refuse anymore, but took out a tissue from her small bag and carefully placed it on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder.
Momozawa Airi hugged the tree trunk with her hands: "Then I'm sorry."
She stepped on it carefully, and asked from time to time, "Is it heavy?", "Can you stand up?", "Or let's just forget it", but all of them were rejected by Jinpei Matsuda in a nonchalant tone.
He looked straight ahead with a calm expression, and lifted Momozawa Airi up until she sat steadily on the tree.
"I did it!" Momozawa Airi waved at him excitedly, "This is the first time I've successfully climbed up!"
*
Jinpei Matsuda stood under the tree, looking up at Momozawa Airi.
She was wearing pants that went below her knees, revealing her slender, white calves.
Momozawa Airi swung her legs slowly, looked around curiously, and smiled brightly.
Looks very happy.
“…”
Jinpei Matsuda quietly raised the corners of his lips, climbed up in no time, and sat next to Momozawa Airi.
Sit in a row.
They sat in a tree that wasn't very tall, overlooking the surrounding grass for a while. Matsuda Jinpei suddenly said, "Are you really planning on going to an all-girls school?"
Momozawa Airi nodded: "Yes, I decided before. That school is very beautiful. I like it very much."
She chuckled and said, "But Zhen Ping, you're a boy, so you definitely can't go in and play. I can show you photos later."
Jinpei Matsuda responded, his voice a little muffled.
Momozawa Airi looked at him and said sympathetically, "Even if we're not in the same school, we can still hang out together on weekends when we're free =v=."
Matsuda Jinpei responded again, his voice still a little muffled.
This is different.
This means we can only meet on weekends.
And for some reason, he wanted to spend more time playing with Momozawa Airi.
After a few more chattering words, Momozawa Airi suddenly uttered an "eh" in a somewhat subtle tone: "Come to think of it, I seem to be a few months older than you."
Jinpei Matsuda's eyelids twitched.
"And I'm still taller than you."
Momozawa Airi nodded with a smile.
"You should call me sister, right? No matter my age or body shape, I am now an impeccable sister."
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei with satisfaction, and her expression froze for a moment.
She came closer and said slowly, "Ai-li-sister-sister--"
"Call out quickly, call out, little brother Zhenping."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
…
After teasing her for a long time, Matsuda Jinpei's face turned red, but he didn't call her sister.
Momozawa Airi felt a little regretful, but she didn't dare to tease him too much.
After all, she still needs Matsuda Jinpei to climb down this tree_(:з)∠)_
Time passed slowly, and Momozawa Airi and Matsuda Jinpei parted ways and skipped home to do their homework.
Jinpei Matsuda's steps as he returned home were a little heavy.
He returned home, quickly opened the refrigerator, and took out a large box of milk.
Start gulping down the milk.
"Mom, is there any milk at home?"
He wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth with paper and turned his head to look at his mother who was watering the flowers on the balcony.
Matsuda's mother looked at him suspiciously and said, "No, don't you usually dislike drinking milk?"
Matsuda Jinpei replied vaguely, "...I suddenly feel like drinking."
Matsuda's mother nodded with a smile: "That's good too. If you take more nutrition, maybe you can grow very tall, Zhenping."
Jinpei Matsuda felt like an arrow pierced his heart.
Matsuda's mother: "Then I'll buy you a few more bottles when I go to the supermarket with your father tonight."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Several boxes."
Matsuda’s mother: “?”
At dinner that night, Jinpei Matsuda, for the first time ever, was not picky about food and ate all the dishes in front of him.
Matsuda's father: "?Who are you??"
Matsuda's mother: "Zhenping is no longer picky about food. Maybe he will grow taller in the future!"
Jinpei Matsuda felt stabbed in the heart again.
After resting for two or three hours after dinner, Jinpei Matsuda began to exercise vigorously at home.
Plank.
boxing.
push-up.
…
Jinpei Matsuda angrily supported his body weight with his arms, then bent down again.
A thin layer of sweat trickled down from his forehead.
His arms were sore, but thinking of Momozawa Airi's smug expression today, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue.
Sooner or later, he will become very tall!
...much taller than Momozawa Airi!!
