A few grilled skewers, two bottles of soju, and people chatting about life around them.
After the three of them clinked their glasses, Yuushi Ozaki, as the eldest brother, was the first to review the past.
"She said I rarely spend time with her and am getting busier and busier." After saying this, Yuushi Ozaki took a sip of his wine. "But she said she didn't mind at the beginning."
With just two sentences, Jiang Nian had already imagined a big drama in his mind, but based on his understanding of his friends, he thought that the reasons for the breakup between Sakuragi Yuzhi and Oshitari Yuushi should not be limited to these.
Ken'ya Oshitari had a sorrowful look on his face, as if Oshitari Yuushi had taken over, sad and helpless: "You were the one who started it, and you were the one who ended it..."
Oshitari Yuushi interrupted Oshitari Kenya's sympathetic thoughts and said, "That's not necessary. Now that I think about it, I was wrong."
"I never thought I would have to work so hard to get an average grade, and I certainly didn't expect that I would be the one to do things like being late or breaking appointments..."
After hearing this, Jiang Nian probably understood that Yingmu Yuzi could tolerate it, but only for a while. She has never been a person who would put herself in a difficult position. Love is just an experience for her.
"Who do you choose, Xueyu or Sakuragi Yuzi?" Jiang Nian's blunt question suppressed Ken Inuzuka's desire to share.
Oshizuka Yuushi drank the wine in his glass and said slowly: "They are all important, but if I give up my studies, my grandfather and parents will be disappointed in me."
Kenji Oshitari quickly filled Oshitari Yuushi's glass with wine and also filled his own.
The juice in Jiang Nian's cup was no longer so cold, just right for drinking in big gulps.
"Yakuragi Yuzi will not spend his whole life with a useless person." Ozuki Yuushi drank the wine in his glass again, "I will not allow myself to gamble with my future."
For some reason, Ken Oshitani seemed to have found a resonance with him. His eyes were slightly red, and he murmured softly: "It's too difficult. Studying medicine is really tiring. I don't have any time for myself."
The corner of Yuushi Oshizuka's mouth twitched: "Not really, really not really."
Ken'ya Oshitari's true nature showed up, making Jiang Nian's eyelids twitch.
"Cousin Kenye, are you really feeling bad?" The exaggerated expression in front of him made Jiang Nian unsure whether Kenye Inuzaka was acting or was really feeling it.
Kenji Oshima's eyes welled up: "Of course it's true. No matter how much I love acting, I wouldn't joke about something like this."
"What a coincidence, the reason she's with me is because I can play tennis?"
Ken Oshige also began to tell his own story.
The glasses obscured Yuushi Ozaki's gossipy eyes and inner thoughts, so to outsiders he still looked cold and reserved.
Jiang Nian lowered his head slightly to look at the juice in front of him, his curious expression obscured by the slightly dim light.
"Does she want to use you to learn tennis?" Jiang Nian prompted when she saw that Ken Inuzaka didn't continue talking.
The memory was interrupted, and Kenji Oshima said bitterly: "She liked Shiraishi before, but Shiraishi had a girlfriend at the time, and she only liked me later."
"It's just that I didn't know it at the time." Ken Oshiro refilled his drink and continued, "After Shiraishi broke up, she broke up with me immediately. I was the last person to know the truth."
Jiang Nian suddenly felt that this plot was somewhat familiar. It turned out that "Wanwan Leiqing" would happen everywhere in the world.
Oshitari Kenya suddenly grabbed Jiang Nian's arm and said, "Sister, do you want to be with Bai Shi? I will do my best to help you."
"Uh!" Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, "Why? Bai Shi and I are not familiar with each other at all."
Oshizuka Yuushi suddenly thought of something: "Do you want her to give up Shiraishi and continue to be with you in this way?"
"Of course not." Kenji Oshige immediately denied, "I just don't want her to get what she wants."
The air seemed to be filled with silence.
“…” This is difficult to comment on.
After Jiang Nian took the letter handed over by Ken'ya Oshitari, he opened it, took it out, and read it in one go, with the whole process taking no more than two minutes.
"It's so infuriating." Jiang Nian placed the letter heavily on the table and drank the slightly cold juice in one gulp.
Ken Oshitani also read the letter and handed it to Yuushi Oshitani, saying, "Yukimura, aren't you apologizing and asking for peace? Why are you so angry?"
Yuushi Oshizuka read it out in a deep and magnetic voice:
"Jiang Nian:
The agreement we signed when we first got together is still there. Although things and people have changed, I still owe you an apology.
I know it's too late to take back what's been done, but I still said that, and I still regret it to this day.
When we were together, I was always afraid that you would leave. I didn't expect that I, who lived in anxiety all day long, would be the first to leave.
After being apart for so long, I finally understand the reason for the breakup: you are afraid that I will leave, and I am afraid that you don’t love me.
The reason I proposed breaking up at that time was that I hoped that one day we could be together again sincerely and permanently. I would no longer ask you to prove that you like me through some small things. We would be together naturally and steadily.
But these are all assumptions made by you and me, and they are false assumptions.
When I put all this aside and honestly ask you to try again, are you still willing?
If you like, please find me at the campus gate on New Year's Day. I'll always be there.
Yukimura Seiichi”
Kenya Oshitari listened with fascination: "Yukimura-kun is still very affectionate."
Yuushi Oshitari pushed his glasses without saying anything, but his actions showed that he disagreed with Ken'ya Oshitari's opinion.
"Haha!" Jiang Nian sneered, "It's just a whitewash."
Looking at Kenye Oshitari who was still puzzled, Jiang Nian curled his lips speechlessly: "Kenye, you should be more careful in the future."
“Let me translate it for you:
First, Yukimura knew he couldn't take back his words about breaking up, but he still said it;
Second, Yukimura thought I didn't love him enough, so he was afraid of breaking up, so he broke up first;
Third, he wanted a natural, down-to-earth relationship and wanted me to do that.
The rest can be skipped.”
After hearing this, Ken'ya Oshitari opened his mouth slightly with an expression of disbelief, and then slowly looked at Yuushi Oshitari.
"Ahem." Ozuki Yuushi coughed uncomfortably, "Jiang Nian's understanding is not wrong."
Today, Oshitari Yuushi finally understands the true heart behind Yukimura Seiichi's affection.
"When it comes to feelings, you always have to keep some of them. Don't give your true feelings to the wrong person and end up falling into the abyss." Jiang Nian concluded.
Kenya Oshitari listened with admiration and couldn't help but applaud.
"Coward." Oshitari Yuushi scolded, "Stop clapping! Everyone's looking at us. Aren't we ashamed?"
The clapping was indeed a bit loud, and the eyes of the uncles next door were attracted by the sound and they looked at us curiously.
After paying the money, Yuushi Ozuchi quickly took his unlucky brother and sister away, and stuffed the letter into Jiang Nian's hand as he left.
Fortunately, the car was not far away, so he didn't have to do a drunken fall on the street.
When Jiang Nian was pushed into the driver's seat, his mind was confused.
"Hey guys, I only got my driver's license three days ago. Can I really drive now?"
Yuushi Oshizuka waved his hand: "It's okay, drive slowly, I'll help you watch from the side."
The manual transmission car was fine, and Jiang Nian arrived at his mother's house leisurely at a speed of 20 miles per hour.
