"Are you sure?" Ke Su Shi asked doubtfully.
"What do you mean?"
"After all, it's Hanami. If he weren't a womanizer, you wouldn't be his girlfriend. Besides, he even went after Mutsu. And that Midorikawa girl, she's actually kind of cute, and her breasts are quite well-developed too."
With each word Su Shi spoke, Ai Yin's face turned even more ashen.
The main reason is that I don't trust Banami's integrity.
"Besides, Banami said that she wants everyone to be happy."
Could this "everyone" include Midorikawa?
Thinking of this, Ai Yin finally couldn't sit still any longer and said, "I'm sorry, Su Shi, I just remembered that I have some things to do. You should go back first."
After saying that, he dashed off in the direction the two had left.
Su Shi watched her impatient back and couldn't help but sneer, "Idiot."

But when Aine arrived at the bamboo forest behind the inn, it was already over. She saw Midorikawa with her head down, running back the way she came. When she saw Aine, she seemed very surprised, but still walked past Aine with red eyes and left.
"Hey, Midorikawa?!" Aine called out to the other person.
But the other party had already run away.
Aine's eyes widened, thinking, "Midori's reaction means that I've been rejected by Banami, right?"
He looked very sad.
After all, she was her friend. Seeing that her confession had failed, Aine felt a little sad for her. No one understood the pure and beautiful feelings of a girl's first love better than her.
However, seeing that Banami rejected him, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
However, she quickly realized that since Banami had already rejected Midorikawa, if she followed him now and Banami saw her, wouldn't he easily misunderstand her, thinking she was being presumptuous?
Just as Aine was about to run away, a pair of broad, calloused hands pressed down on her shoulders from behind.
"Anon-chan~ Why are you here?" Hearing the boy's ambiguous laughter behind her, Aine froze.
She slowly turned around and saw the boy who seemed to be scrutinizing her.
"Hi~ Hi, Banami-kun, what a coincidence, you're here for a walk too?" Aine immediately pretended to be clueless.
The next moment, she was pinned against the wall by Banami, whose hot and powerful breath made Aine panic and feel a sense of aggression.
"You're keeping watch because you're worried I'll accept Midorikawa's confession, right?"
Although Banami smiled, Kawaii-on felt that he was angry.
"Uh, what are you saying? I don't understand." As Banami got closer, her cheeks became more and more attractive.
Ah, no, it's too close. She just came out of the hot spring and already feels like she's been soaking in it for too long and is oxygen-deprived.
However, Hanami mimicked her tone and said, "Midori has practically offered himself up. Hanami is such a womanizer, it wouldn't be surprising if he agreed, would it?"
"Besides, Midorikawa is quite cute, and her breasts are bigger than mine."
Waaah, there's absolutely no way to refute it.
"Hana also said that she wants everyone to be happy, so does that include Midorikawa?"
Aine looked up, her face contorted with grief, and said, "Hanami, are you holding a voice recorder?"
As a result, he hit her hard on the head.
"it hurts!"
"So that's what you really think?"
"I...I didn't think that way. It was Su Shi who said it. I...I was worried, so I came to check on things," Ai Yin said, sounding aggrieved.
"That's because you believed her nonsense." Banami stared at her seriously.
Ai-yin shrank back, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
“I’m angry,” he said bluntly.
Aine thought to herself, "Of course she'd be angry. After all, if I were in her shoes, I'd definitely be angry too if I saw that Yanami didn't trust me."
"How about I kiss you, please don't be angry?" Aine pleaded like a child.
His adorable appearance almost made Banami's heart flutter, but thinking of his plans for the evening, he hardened his heart and continued with a cold face, "Does that mean I can't kiss you just because I'm not angry? What kind of apology is this?"
Ai Yin pouted, thinking to herself that if Su Shi hadn't been talking nonsense, she wouldn't have suspected anything in the first place.
It's true what they say: beware of fire, theft, and your best friend!
"Then, Xi, what do you want me to do?" Ai Yin asked in a trembling voice.
This was exactly what Banami had been waiting for. He gently leaned close to the girl's ear and said, "It's very simple if you want me to forgive you. Come to my room at 11 p.m. tonight."
When Aine realized what those words meant, her head buzzed, and she thought of the Banami she had seen in the bathhouse earlier... It was as if she had experienced a prehistoric explosion, and her heart began to beat rapidly.
By the time she came to her senses, Banami had vanished without a trace, leaving her no time to object.
Chapter 45 Confession Under the Moon (Third Update)
"Nagasaki Motoyo!"
Once back at the hotel, Aine immediately started complaining to her best friend.
At this moment, Su Shi, who was eating a pancake, looked up, offered a pancake to Su Shi, and said, "Want some?"
"Where did the pancakes come from?" Ai Yin blinked and asked.
"These are local specialties brought by Xiaodeng's family," Su Shi said.
It looked delicious. Just as Aine reached for it, she suddenly clapped her hands, and the pancake landed on the table. She exclaimed, "Wait, Nagasaki Motoyo, don't change the subject. You already knew that Hanami would reject Midorikawa's confession, didn't you?"
"I know, it's a small matter, you can figure it out with a little thought," Su Shi said calmly.
"Then...then you encouraged me to go find them!" Ai Yin said angrily.
"Haha, I think the people who get scammed are the real idiots in fraud cases," Su Shi teased.
"Ugh...ugh..." Aine glared at Su Shi through gritted teeth. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have...
"So, he found out, and then he got angry? That's only natural, isn't it? If it were me, I'd get angry too if someone suspected me like that," Suze said in a lighthearted tone.
In other words, even though she knew that Aine running right into the line of fire would anger him, Suze still encouraged this idiot to go.
She was going to break off all ties with this scheming woman.
"So, what punishment did Banami give you?" Su Shi asked with some curiosity.
"Come to my room tonight..." These words from Banami naturally came to mind.
This immediately put her in a dilemma. After all, it was her fault this time, and it was only natural that Banami was angry. However, she could understand what would happen if she went to the boy's room at night; she wasn't stupid.
"Why are you blushing like that?" Su Shi said, somewhat annoyed.
At this moment, Ai Yin was a little hesitant. Actually, she wanted to ask Su Shi for her opinion. After all, Su Shi was the only plastic best friend she could confide in. However, Ai Yin, who had just been tricked by Su Shi, was a little skeptical of her bad intentions.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Aine's body stiffened slightly. Could it be Yanami?
Aine is now a little afraid to see him.
But after Su Shi opened the door, she heard her say, "Anon-chan, Midorikawa is here to see you."
Ai Yin stood up in surprise and found the girl standing at the door.
Su Shi tactfully said, "I'm going out to buy some daily necessities."
Then only the two of them were left in the room.
"Uh, Midorikawa-san, may I ask..." Aine suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Um, Anon-chan, you saw everything just now, right?" Midorikawa said nervously after closing the door.
"See what?"
"It was the scene where I confessed to Toyokawa." Unexpectedly, Midorikawa revealed it himself.
Aine didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But Midorikawa smiled bitterly and said, "Although we failed."
"But, Midorikawa-san, didn't you say you only liked him secretly and wouldn't confess? After all..."
You know she has a fiancée.
Hearing Aine's question, Midorikawa paused slightly, then said, "Aine, you probably don't understand, it's that feeling of not being able to hold back when you just secretly like someone..."
But Aine's fist clenched slightly as she recalled how she eventually started dating Hanami.
She... felt the same way as Midorikawa; secretly liking someone wasn't enough, she couldn't hold back any longer.
Midorikawa blushed slightly and said, "So, even though I know I'll be rejected, I still want to express my feelings."
So, even though she knew they would eventually part ways, she still wanted to create some beautiful memories together.
"At least, that way I won't regret my first love."
At least, I won't regret my first love.
Aine gently raised her head, looked at Midorikawa, and held her shoulders tightly, saying, "Midorikawa-san, I think you are really brave."
"Huh?!"
Hearing Aine's sudden praise, Midorikawa was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "However, it's fortunate that Toyokawa-san ultimately rejected me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
Midorikawa-san was already expecting to be rejected before she even confessed.
"So, Aine, you have to keep this a secret from me, okay? Don't tell anyone. Just pretend it never happened," Midorikawa earnestly pleaded.
Ai Yin nodded emphatically, but a question suddenly popped into her mind.
"Um, may I ask why he... rejected you? Is it because he has a fiancée?"
Although it's a bit strange for his girlfriend to ask this question.
Midorikawa wore a slightly strange expression, but still said, "Toyokawa-kun asked me a strange question..."
After hearing Midorikawa repeat Hanami's words, Aine was stunned for a long time, not even noticing when Midorikawa left.
When Su Shi returned, she saw Minato rummaging through her luggage.
"What are you doing?" Su Shi asked.
"Hmm, Soyorin, look, which one looks better, this pink lingerie or this white one? It's cuter." Ai Yin rummaged through her luggage and pulled out two sets of lingerie to show Su Shi.
"what?!"
****
The moonlight was like water, and in the hotel courtyard, scattered cherry blossom petals cast long, thin shadows that shimmered in different shapes like points of light.
Ai Yin gently opened the door without waking the others in the room. She tiptoed away in the corridor, afraid of being discovered.
She was drawn to the cool, clear moon; perhaps tonight was the perfect time...
Thinking of this, the girl's cheeks felt hot, but the spring breeze blowing through the corridor took away the excess heat from her cheeks just right.
Although it was somewhat abrupt and the two hadn't been dating for very long, she wanted to be as brave as Midorikawa.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at Banami's room. The girl's tongue was a little dry. She knocked gently on the door, but no one answered.
Aine didn't dare linger in the corridor for too long, fearing she might be discovered.
"Could he be trying to prank me?" Aine wondered.
When she opened the door to Banami's room and went inside, she found that there was no one there. However, in the center of the room, there was a door, just like Doraemon's Anywhere Door.
Aine paused slightly, then called out softly, "Hanami, where...are you?"
But no one answered. It was really strange that a door suddenly appeared in the hotel room.
Aine seemed to understand something, and finally she tried to open the strange door. When the light faded, she felt a spring breeze blowing over her whole body, and then, it felt as if she was stepping on some kind of rubble.
"Huh?!"
The next moment, she seemed to slip and fall. Upon closer inspection, she felt as if she had reached a high place, like the top of Tokyo Tower, where she could see all kinds of buildings and colorful neon lights.
"Huh?!" But she slipped and was about to fall.
At that moment, Aine's mind was completely blank.
