"Really?" Kazuha asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes." Xiaolan didn't tell He Ye what she had seen back then. She nodded and sighed.
"It really sounds great."
"Yes, Guangyou sings beautifully, and the song itself is also very beautiful."
After agreeing with her, He Ye remembered what Xiao Lan had just said and couldn't help but say something.
"If Heiji had even a quarter of Kosuke's strength, that would be great."
"He can sing for girls, is willing to get up early to prepare breakfast for them, and knows how to care for them."
"Unfortunately, Heiji's cooking skills are simply terrible."
"All he does is call me 'idiot,' 'idiot' all day long."
"They show me some concern occasionally, but then forget about me in the blink of an eye."
"Really..."
Hearing Kazuha's complaints, Ran didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and comforted her, "Maybe things will change in the future."
Seemingly used to it, Kazuha quickly composed herself. "Never mind, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's continue listening to music."
"Um."
...
Inside the room, Guangyou was singing.
He would occasionally glance out the window at Ai, and when he saw the smile on her face, a smile would involuntarily curl up at the corners of his mouth.
However, he would soon turn his gaze back to the window.
He was worried that if he looked at Ai for too long, he would only focus on her and lose interest in singing.
Perhaps sensing this, Ai's smile became even more pronounced.
The setting sun has always seemed to represent sadness.
However, Guangyou and Xiao Ai, who were bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, did not feel any similar emotions at all; they only felt warmth.
"From this day forward, I will always be with you..."
Before he knew it, Guangyou had finished singing the song.
"Ai, how are you feeling?" Kōyū was still quite confident, but he still wanted to ask Ai how she was feeling.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to hear Ai's praise.
"Not bad." Ai nodded, deliberately suppressing her smile, and said in a flat tone, "You've improved. Keep up the good work."
However, after saying this, the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up slightly.
"I'll keep working hard." After saying this seriously, Kōyū smiled. "Then, a duet?"
"Um."
Seeing Ai nod, Kōyū readjusted his posture, placed his hand on the strings, and met her eyes that seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.
Then, he said softly, "Then, let's begin."
Under Kōyū's gaze, Ai nodded with a smile on her lips.
After receiving Ai's response, Kousuke gently plucked the strings.
The prelude to "Snow Flower" begins once again.
The two looked at each other, as if they were cultivating their feelings for each other.
As soon as the intro ended, Kōyū and Ai opened their mouths almost simultaneously, their emotionally charged voices echoing in the room.
“The ever-extending shadows lie side by side on the red brick path…”
"Walking with you in this twilight..."
Ai Ai's figure was clearly reflected in her icy blue eyes. She sang a song, her eyes half-lowered, her body slightly tilted, and she rested her head on her husband's shoulder.
A gentle breeze carried a faint fragrance from Ai's hair and brushed against Guangyou's face, making his smile even more pronounced.
Who says sunsets are always sad?
The setting sun signifies the end of a day, and can also represent a life entering its twilight years. But at this moment, Guangyou felt:
The setting sun signifies that they watched the sunset together once again.
This signifies that the bond between him and her has deepened once again.
Although he also felt it was a pity, and wished that they could "stay together forever" like in "Snow Flower", no one can stop time at present.
The gears of time will never stop.
If that's the case, why bother caring?
Instead of feeling sad about the passage of time, he should sing songs with Ai and enjoy their time together.
"Wanting to do something for someone, so this is what love is."
When they sang this line of lyrics, both of them were lost in memories.
A moment later, the two snapped out of their reverie, glanced at each other, and then smiled.
"If I lose you, I will become a star to shine on you."
When they sang this line, they both lowered their voices simultaneously.
Ai sang a few more lines before suddenly stopping.
She leaned on Guangyou's shoulder without saying a word.
The next second, the singing stopped abruptly.
Turning to look at Ai, who was burying her face in his shoulder, Kōyū gently stroked her hair with one hand and said softly, "Don't worry, that won't happen..."
"It will absolutely not happen."
His tone was gentle, but it was filled with determination.
"Mmm." Ai responded and then whispered to Mitsuyu, "We agreed back then that you would be my research subject for life."
"Don't worry." Guangyou instantly recalled the scene at the hot spring resort, a tender look flashed across his face, and he smiled, gently comforting her.
"I still want to eat your sandwiches, and the pork rib soup you made last time was pretty good too..."
"Why is all you can think about is food?" Ai raised her head slightly, met Kousuke's eyes, and asked with amusement.
“Hmm…” Kōyū looked at Ai and explained, “Because in my eyes, you are like candy.”
For a moment, Ai didn't understand and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
That's exactly what I mean.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kōyū leaned forward and gently kissed Ai's lips. Before Ai could react, he sat up straight.
"Because I like sweets."
The next second, Kōyū clearly saw that Ai's delicate earlobes had turned slightly red.
"How did you sneak up on me?" Ai asked, feigning displeasure and frowning slightly. "Didn't you say you were going to apply?"
Her tone was as cool as usual, but her reddened earlobes betrayed her.
“Then I’ll apply now,” Guangyou said with a smile.
"Who applies like this?" Ai reached out and gently pinched the soft flesh of Kousuke's waist. She didn't use much force; it was just a formality.
"I didn't say it was before the application, did I?"
Upon hearing this, Ai sensed something was wrong.
Koyuki's reaction was faster.
Before Ai could react, Kōyū leaned in and kissed her on the corner of her lips again, then whispered in her ear, "You applied this time, didn't you?"
"What about the time before?" Ai frowned, looking at Kousuke, not dwelling on this time, but instead asking about the previous time.
"As for that time before, why don't you just ignore it for now..."
Before Kōyū could finish speaking, Ai suddenly tilted her head up and lightly pecked Kōyū's lips, as if it were a dragonfly skimming the water, a fleeting touch.
"Alright, we're even now."
Looking at Ai's earlobes, which were already turning red, Kōyū couldn't help but smile.
