บท 474: Aren't you talking nonsense?
Shinichi didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
Since earlier, he had been following her, listening as she told him how she felt, and listening to her confessions.
At this moment, Rui looked at him with determination in her eyes that she had made up her mind.
Shinichi was silent, and the idea of convincing her to be a good sister slowly faded away.
It was a determination that whatever method he used, he would never give room for doubt.
He ends up being shaken by Rui.
Rui stood in front of him with her chest puffed out.
Shinichi felt resigned to his fate, so he reached out and touched it.
"I see."
Rui opened her eyes slightly and saw his big palm resting on top of her head, confused for a moment.
"What don't you understand?"
Seeing her shocked expression in his eyes, Shinichi repeated helplessly.
"I said, I understand what you mean."
Rui asked reluctantly.
"You said you understand? No need for proof? Take it for granted? Where is big brother's insistence? I thought you would immediately refute me, but is this the result?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want..."
Shinichi scratched the back of her head with his hand, and looked around.
"It takes a lot of courage to confess. This is already the best proof... You have worked hard to express your feelings. If I continue to insist on denying your feelings, wouldn't that be too much?"
Even if Shinichi couldn't accept this feeling, gratitude was the best way to deal with it.
Thinking like this, he had indeed gone too far in the past. He wanted to immediately break off Rui's feelings without caring about anything. No wonder she would avoid him and fight a cold war with him.
Shinichi dropped the pretense of always being brave, and showed a gentle smile towards Rui.
"Overall, thank you for liking me who is full of flaws, Rui!"
"Only that?"
"... Um?"
Unexpectedly, Rui was really ungrateful. While looking at him, she moved closer to him, and even tried to grab his wrist.
"I don't think so. This was resolved too smoothly. I suspect you are deceiving me. It will be more convincing if you thank me after you see the evidence."
"Don't cause trouble."
Shinichi flicked her forehead angrily.
"Stop making excuses there. The so-called evidence is the heartbeat, right?"
Rui shook her head.
"It was a heartbeat full of feelings for you."
The serious way she said these words made Shinichi feel no shame.
He grabbed her wrist with the back of his hand, pressed her thumb on the vein, and felt the pulse coming from there.
"The beat is quite fast. Remember to take good rest to avoid arrhythmia."
Shinichi spoke eloquently and let go of his hand without regret.
Rui held her wrist and her mouth twitched.
The two of them took a leisurely walk around the beach. The atmosphere this time was much better than when she first arrived.
Before coming, Rui thought Shinichi would use his eloquence, try to quote scriptures, correct her ideas about liking her cousin, and teach her lessons like a child.
But she didn't expect that after his sincere confession, he would immediately "give up".
But Rui chose not to worry too much about it, but just went with the flow. She not only wants to have more physical contact with him, but also wants to take advantage of this rare moment to go on a date.
"Um, can I hold hands?"
"Okay." Rui didn't have any expectations at first, but in the end she didn't even hesitate and immediately agreed.
Even though she was fierce as a tiger when she confessed, when her hand reached out to hold Shinichi's palm, Rui's face was as red as an apple.
Shinichi looked ahead and didn't notice this.
Rui felt something was wrong.
She raised her head and looked at the side of Shinichi's face.
But Rui only felt that her eyes were not focused on the scenery, nor were they focused on him.
Shinichi was thinking about things that had nothing to do with her, and her sincere confession didn't really touch his heart.
Rui bit her lip, her eyes suddenly became firm.
She suddenly stopped, while Shinichi continued to move forward. It was only when his arm was pulled that she was forced to come to his senses and stood there looking at her in confusion.
"Are you coming back?"
Without beating around the bush, Rui looked at him and asked directly.
"What are you thinking?"
Shinichi smiled faintly.
"There isn't anything..."
Rui narrowed her eyes and immediately threatened.
"If you dare say it's okay, I will forcefully kiss you in front of everyone tomorrow. Even if I can't kiss you tomorrow, as long as I stay at Asada's house, I will find a chance to forcefully kiss you at any time."
"Give you a chance to reorganize your language. What are you thinking about?"
Shinichi was taken aback, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his expression finally returned to his normal appearance.
"This is the first time I have heard a young girl threaten others in this way. Doesn't your kiss cost money?"
"No money is needed for you."
Holding his hands tightly, Rui looked directly into his eyes.
"If you can't say anything to someone who likes you, you can do it to your little sister?
"Onii-chan, can you tell me what problem you're having now? I want to know."
"Rui..."
Shinichi looked at her persistent expression and felt her palm squeeze harder. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and withdrew his hand.
Under her confused gaze, he put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the night sky, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he spoke softly.
"You probably don't know. I have a secret..."
Rui stared at him without blinking.
She sheself was also very curious about why Shinichi became like that at the age of ten, and why he forgot what happened at that time.
But she couldn't ask, because it might be about the pain of his past, or a dark history he didn't want to mention.
Now she could only pray that she could tell his this secret.
"Actually... There's another girl who likes me..."
Rui: "😐"
