Chapter 42 Snow Moe should still keep it a secret.
The holidays have begun, and at the same time, Christmas is approaching.
Miyako finished her run early in the morning, around seven o'clock, and wanted to rush to Amaho Akina's house.
"If we go over there now, we might just see Mina get up?" He was still quite excited about it.
Miyaji wanted to sigh—at this time of day, Akina Amaho probably wouldn't even be out of bed yet.
If he went there at this time, Miyako would definitely get a scolding from Amaho Akina and be locked out. Miyaji was actually looking forward to seeing that scene.
However, he did not intend to let Miyako disturb Amako Akina; he would wait until a suitable time before the two of them went together.
Miyaji then glanced at him sideways: "Are you sure Akina is awake at this hour?"
Gong You's body stiffened. Ah, what would happen if he woke Mina up directly? He wasn't sure.
"Then, Aji, tell me, when would be a good time to go?" Gong You looked at Gong Ji.
"In my opinion, we'll have to wait until at least nine o'clock." Hmm, another two hours.
This timing was based on the observations he made when Miyako was excitedly heading to find Amaho Akina.
If I go too early, Mina definitely won't get up. I can't just sit at her door and wait for her to wake up and open the door, can I?
Hmm...that seems to be a solution too," Miyaji seriously began to think about it.
"Ugh, two more hours. I might as well send her a message on social media..." Gong You muttered to himself. He had already gotten ready, but he didn't expect to have to wait another two hours.
He opened his phone and sent a private message to Amamiya, but the message was not read.
Gong You's body stiffened, and Gong Zhi sighed, saying, "See? She really hasn't woken up yet."
Gong You: "Okay, it looks like I'll have to wait until nine o'clock."
He rolled up his sleeves and looked around his room: "In that case, I'm going to change the direction of these paintings."
The two paintings were originally arranged in a relatively corresponding manner, but this arrangement was achieved with Ms. Gong's help.
Gong Zhi cast a questioning look at him. Most of the time, he immediately understood Gong You's intentions as soon as he made a move.
Although he initially found it incomprehensible to cross his arms, Gong Zhi's expression darkened after seeing what Gong You was doing with great enthusiasm.
Is it necessary to rearrange the paintings and put them back together to kill time?
Do we have to put it all out again later?
Miyaji sighed, surprised that what Miyayu was doing was exactly as he had described—such a simple thing.
“If you’re so bored, you might as well do something else,” he said, sitting down on his bed.
"That's true, but I just don't know what else we can do." Gong You scratched his hair in frustration.
In the past, if he was bored, he would drag Miyaji out to play volleyball.
But today, because she had promised to go to the art exhibition with Amaho Akina, and was afraid of missing the time, and worried that she would get carried away playing volleyball and forget the time, Miyayu had to do something else instead.
“If you don’t know what to do, why don’t you just sit here for a while? We still have holiday homework, right?” Miyaji said.
As he spoke, he shivered, clearly still unable to forget the days he spent in tutoring recently.
“You can use this time to write something,” he said, then took out his own notebook.
Although the holiday homework isn't much, it can be completed even on the last day.
But Miyayu thought about it, and if Akina found out that they left their homework until the last day... well, he didn't dare to think about that scene.
And they'll definitely ask Mina to let them copy their homework, but Mina definitely won't agree to that request.
Gong You looked a little worried. He pursed his lips, sat down, and opened his notebook.
"Well, that's the only way." He said dejectedly.
So they endured those two hours in agony, barely managing to finish one page of their assignment.
Gong You wasn't paying any attention to his homework. He groaned, "These homework questions seem even harder than the test papers that Mina gave us before!"
Gong Zhi's voice was calm: "That's just your imagination."
Those questions were clearly much easier, but even though he wasn't really interested in doing his homework, he only managed to finish one page.
In the end, the two of them were still at about the same progress.
"Never mind, it's already nine o'clock anyway, let's go find Mina together?" Gong You stretched, stood up, and walked outside.
He was full of energy again, and he was happy at the thought of seeing Mina soon.
Gong Zhi: "Yes, let's go together."
A smile appeared on his face, clearly showing his anticipation for what was to come.
-
The two of them stood together in front of Amaho Akina's house.
Standing in front of her door, I suddenly felt nervous. The two of us bickered and looked at each other, neither of us wanting to be the first to ring the doorbell.
After all, at this time, Mina might have just gotten up.
In the end, it was Miyaji who rang the doorbell.
He rang the doorbell next to the door and heard what sounded like footsteps coming from inside the house. It seemed that Akina Amami had gotten up.
The door opened, and Akina covered her face and yawned. She was still wearing her pajamas.
Gong Zhi turned his face slightly away, not daring to look directly at him anymore.
Akina Amane walked into the house: "I just got up... It's a good thing you didn't come any earlier, otherwise I might have made you stand outside for hours."
Well, once I fall asleep, I'm not easily woken up by noises like the doorbell, unless it's a particularly loud sound.
“That guy, Yu, wanted to come over at seven o’clock,” Miyaji said.
Fortunately, I stopped Gong You and prevented him from rushing over at seven o'clock.
However, it wouldn't be bad to let him stand here alone for two hours.
Gong Zhi thought to himself that next time he wouldn't stop Gong You, but would instead cause him some trouble.
Sure enough, Akina Amami said, "In that case, Yuu will definitely be standing outside for two hours."
"I should have told Mina what time she was coming this morning." Miya Yu pouted.
Sigh, if I really stood outside in this kind of weather for two hours without moving, I'd probably catch a cold too.
“It’s still early, I need to have breakfast first. You two, find something to do,” said Akina Amami.
As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the kitchen, and the sound of the refrigerator being opened could be heard.
Miya Yu and Miyaji immediately decided to go and see what Akina had been drawing lately.
When they got closer, they discovered that the oil painting depicted the scene inside the Ferris wheel that day.
The painting is not yet finished. It seems that the artist is struggling with how to depict the character's expression. Only the posture of the character is shown, but no specific facial features have been added. At first glance, it looks a bit scary.
But both of them knew exactly what they had done back then.
Miyaji scratched his cheek: "Amina... you probably also realized what happened back then, right?"
But she never asked them. Was she trying to keep it a secret?
Or do you feel pressured because they both share these feelings?
There's really no need to care that much.
"Even if she knows, it seems she doesn't intend to say it. Is she afraid that if she does, she'll have to make a choice?" Gong You shrugged.
“It seems she’s avoiding making a choice,” Miyaji said.
Perhaps it's because she doesn't want to disappoint anyone's feelings that she chooses to pretend nothing happened and let them continue to interact as friends.
However, if we only do this, it will only allow them to occupy this status and then become even more greedy.
“In that case, let’s not say it for now, otherwise Mina will feel very awkward,” Miya Yu said.
If it would make her feel sad, upset, or in pain, they would rather keep it a secret for a while longer.
He looked disappointed because he didn't want to see her again.
Miyaji nodded in agreement with Miyayu's suggestion. The two of them tacitly left the easel and sat on the sofa, pretending not to have seen the half-finished oil painting.
Akina Amane walked out while munching on a sandwich. She had just taken a sandwich out of the refrigerator and put it in the microwave for a while.
Therefore, she didn't notice the twins' somewhat furtive movements just now; she just blinked, looking puzzled.
"Ah, don't you two get bored sitting here?" Because the two of them were sitting on the sofa, and their bodies seemed a bit stiff; in short, they weren't relaxed.
They weren't like this when they came to my house before.
Akina Amane was somewhat puzzled.
Gong You coughed lightly: "Yes, because I wanted to wait for Mina to finish eating."
After all, they didn't know what else they could do. In the end, they had only ever stayed in the living room and had no idea about the structure of the house.
"Hmm, even after breakfast, it's still quite early." Akina Amami thought for a moment.
It was a rare holiday, and she didn't want to continue painting at this time, which would be tantamount to spoiling the mood for both of them.
She quickly finished her sandwich, then squatted down and rummaged through the TV cabinet for a while before finding two game controllers.
She wiped away the non-existent sweat from her forehead and let out a soft sigh.
“I haven’t used it in a long time either, but it looks like it should still work.” Akina Amami looked up and smiled at Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi, who were looking in her direction.
“After all, no one used to play with me.” She fiddled with the controller, connected it to the TV, and then inserted a game cartridge.
"I didn't expect you to have games in your house." Gong You's eyes widened slightly.
He had assumed that Mina's home was very plain, containing only art supplies and paintings.
“Yes, I bought it out of curiosity, but I’ve never played it since because it’s a two-player game.” Amamiya said, her expression turning somewhat melancholy, but she managed to hide it perfectly.
Miyaji: "But now there are three people, how should the team be divided?"
One person will inevitably have to be eliminated.
Gong You and Gong Zhi exchanged a glance, their eyes sparking with unspoken tension, neither wanting to give way to the other.
