"Sorry."
As she said this, Ren also remembered what happened in the past.
"It's too late to apologize now. I won't forgive you that easily." Miku mercilessly refused, "Just wait and help me get that book in the future."
"Okay."
He had just helped her get the book she wanted to read from the bookshelf. It wasn't a difficult task, but it was acceptable.
"You've chosen several books."
Skipping the previous topic, Miku looked at the books he was holding.
"I feel these books are pretty good, so I chose them all." Ren explained casually.
"Then let's go find a place to read."
Although she had found many books she wanted to read now, she still planned to borrow the books she had in her hand to return.
After all, if she borrowed too many books at once, it would take a long time to read them, which would prolong the time they had to come to the library together without a time limit.
Therefore, the best choice was to borrow books one by one and then let him accompany her to return and borrow books.
"Um."
Because it was summer vacation now, although many other students were reading and studying in the library, most of the seats were still empty, making it very easy to find a good seat.
"Just read here."
Shortly after, Miku chose a location with sufficient light.
"Yes."
Placing the book in his hand on the table, Ren sat down, and Miku sat next to him.
The air conditioning in the library was turned on in such a way that even though they were sitting together, they wouldn't feel any heat at all.
"?"
As Miku sat next to him, she could clearly feel that there was something wrong with the way the people who were reading or studying were looking at her.
This strange feeling came again and really made her wonder what the cause was.
"What book did you borrow?"
As she avoided those strange looks, Miku asked softly.
Speaking quietly in the library was normal.
"Several books related to painting."
Ren also lowered his voice very softly.
"Ren, are you interested in painting?" Miku asked in surprise.
Generally, someone who wasn't interested wouldn't choose such books to spend time in the library, right?
"I'm not too interested, I just want to learn casually." Ren said.
"I see."
Miku could still understand behavior like this.
Almost everyone has a desire to learn something.
"Can I read the book you borrowed?"
Miku still wanted to see what book he had borrowed.
"It's okay."
As he spoke, Ren pushed the books placed in front of him between the two of them.
"[Simple Drawing for Kindergarten]? Ren, did you choose the wrong book?" Seeing the title of the book above, Miku asked very softly.
She wouldn't be surprised if Ren borrowed some introductory books, but wasn't this book too basic?
"No, this is the book I chose." Ren said confidently.
Pointing to the title of the book, Miku emphasized to him, "This is a book for kindergarten children."
"So, isn't this the simplest introductory tutorial?"
Because kindergarten children could understand it, as a high school student, he should find it easier to understand.
"It seems so."
After thinking about it carefully, Miku felt her words made sense.
Indeed, it would be very easy for her to do kindergarten-level exercises based on her current knowledge.
It wasn't exaggerating to say that this was a dimensional reduction blow.
"Then take your time learning!"
After flipping through a few books and seeing that the rest were relatively normal introductory books, Miku didn't say anything more.
"I will."
Ren took the book and read it carefully.
Seeing this, Miku opened book and started reading.
In this way, none of them spoke again, only the sound of flipping book pages occasionally heard.
"Wow—"
Gently turning the book to the next page, Miku secretly glanced at Ren sitting next to her and reading seriously.
The afternoon sun illuminated his bright cheeks, making his usually expressionless face look softer, as if smiling, and even his white shirt felt a little warm.
From her perspective, his eyes seemed to blink with an odd color.
Ren didn't lay the book flat on the table, but held the corners of the book with both hands, and his spine leaned against the table.
That's when Miku realized that his hands were also very beautiful, not too big, but very slender and slender, making them perfect for holding hands.
The only downside was the book he held really ruined the tranquil atmosphere.
"[Simple Drawing for Kindergarten]"
Although she wanted to complain, Miku didn't have the heart to disturb his reading concentration, so she refocused her attention on the book in front of her.
To avoid being caught peeking at him for too long, it would be too embarrassing.
"Yawn."
After rubbing her eyes and staring at the sunlight outside, Miku felt sleepy.
This sunny and breezy weather was perfect for a nap.
Moreover, she had been lacking sleep for the past few days. Besides, learning to cook alone was already a very tiring task.
"Well…"
After hesitating for a long time, Miku closed the book and set it aside.
"Ren, I'm going to lie down here and take a short nap. Can you wake me up after you finish your book?"
As Ren turned the pages, Miku asked him.
"Yes." Ren agreed.
After receiving confirmation, Miku put her hand on the table, leaned on it, and closed her eyes peacefully.
She only took a short nap and there would be no problem at all.
Thinking like this, she fell asleep after a while.
Finding that Miku had fallen asleep, Ren turned his face away from her and continued reading.
However, he turned the pages more gently than before, and there was almost no sound of flipping pages.
...
As the sun set in the west, time passed little by little.
"Huh? How long have I been asleep?"
After a long time, Miku opened her eyes dazedly. After realizing that he was still reading, she raised her head and asked hesitantly.
