Slow Love - Chapter39

×××

…

In the woods.

On the fourth night.

Just as the female protagonist Prunus was getting along with An Qiu in the distance,

The male protagonist Bombardment Scorch, who had been left behind for several chapters, had just finished his hot bath and went to the shared area to buy milk.

It was already ten o 'clock in the evening. Because the students in Building 2-A had experienced a whole day of serial hell special training, even if it was time to rest,

Everyone had no intention of playing.

Most of them went back to their rooms to rest.

The atmosphere in the entire dormitory was peaceful.

With a towel on his head, Boom walked slowly to the vending machine.

He planned to buy it quickly and go back to his room to rest. But … what appeared here at this time?

Boom looked at the palm-sized comic lying quietly in front of the vending machine with a dumbfounded expression.

"Heartbeat Doki ~ Want to Get Close to You (1)."

What the hell is this.

Boom put down the milk bottle in his hand.

He bent down and picked up the comic book.

Looking at the cute boy and girl on the cover,

His mind fell into a long loading cycle again.

It should be brought by a girl in class, right?

Is this contraband?

During the stay in the woods, they were not allowed to bring comics, cards, and other entertainment items into the camp.

Boom calm.jpg looked at the "Heartbeat Doki ~ Want to Get Close to You (1)" that seemed to have its own pink bubbles. He carefully opened the inner page. After all, the owner's name might be written on the inner page. As long as he found it, he would quietly return it to the owner tomorrow.

"Is this kind of comic really interesting?"

Bombardment Scorch, who had never read a girl's comic since he was young, frowned. He doubted the owner who brought this kind of comic to the woods. He drank the milk and opened the first chapter of the comic to read.

[… From today onwards,

I daydream that I will become a first-year student in a private love high school … This was supposed to be the first day of school full of beautiful encounters, but I didn't expect that … I would actually meet "that person" in love high school!]

From the first chapter,

It was a scene of a cute girl with shoulder-length hair complaining in the classroom. The girl's eyes were half-closed.

Then, he started his inner monologue angrily.

[During the spring break, I started my part-time job, and in that cute cake shop … that handsome but evil boy appeared.]

The first sentence also cut into the scene of the handsome boy laughing at Bai Yue Mengmeng in the coffee shop. Thinking of this,

The female lead, Mengmeng, was so angry that she became Explode: [… I swear that if I see him again, I will definitely give him a good scolding.

But I didn't expect him to be a top student at our level!

Furthermore, he had entered the school as the top student!

Oh no!

Through!

Yes!

Everyone around him treated him like a prince.

What was that?!

That person's nature is especially bad!]

"… Oh." Boom furrowed his brows.

Since he didn't really understand the girl's interest in manga, he flipped through the pages one by one until he reached the end. Since he had nothing else to do, he continued to read the story.

In the blink of an eye, before he returned to his room, he read the second chapter of the manga.

[Ahh, Senior's personality is super good — just to see if he can join the basketball club?]

[I already said that I joined the department for the sake of Senior. Why did that evil person insist on following me?!]

[What?

Evil person and Senior's basketball skills are actually on par?

I will definitely cheer for Senior!]

[I won't admit that … that guy is a little bit handsome!

After all, his personality is terrible!]

From the second chapter onwards, it was about the female lead joining the basketball club as a manager because of another sunny boy. Since Xiong Ying didn't have a basketball club, Boom felt that that kind of club life was quite interesting — he continued to read until 10: 30 pm.

…

"Bang King, Iida -san asked us to brush our teeth in the bathroom, do you want to come with us?" Dehisa was holding a toothbrush and a cup for washing teeth, and invited Boom in a friendly manner.

"Come now."

Boom put down the manga — he glanced at the female lead's angry expression at the end of the second chapter and added a bookmark according to the reading progress.

"What was Bang King looking at just now?"

"Nothing." Boom shrugged expressionlessly.

Following Iida and Dehisa, Boom reached out and rubbed his hair — very good, it seems that his hair is dry. After brushing his teeth, he will rest immediately.

Tomorrow would be the last day of the dormitory, and Asizawa-sensei would definitely arrange a particularly difficult training for them. However, after Boom made such a plan in his mind, he couldn't help but flip open the book when he returned home and stared at the book, "Heartbeat Doki ~ Wanting to Get Close to You (Part 1)".

After all, he was a little concerned about the development of the third chapter.

[He … defended me just now?

Why did he do that?

Obviously, no one believes me. Why did the person who should be the most silent … stand in front of me and fight with others for me?]

[I should be cheering for Senior, but I unconsciously looked at Evil Person … After all, I know better than anyone that that person is very hardworking …]

[I want to cheer for him.]

At the beginning of the third chapter, the news that Mengmeng's father was a criminal spread rapidly in the school. She was despised by her classmates, but at this time, she received the male lead's protection — Mengmeng's impression of Evil Person rose rapidly, and she began to treat him as a trustworthy "friend".

"This development is really surprising."

Boom looked down at the scene where Evil Person spread his arms in front of Mengmeng, and then flipped to the fourth chapter with an admiring gaze.

[I only told him a little about Senior, but he suddenly got angry.]

[No, I can't pay attention. My mind is full of him. I was worried that he would get hurt, so I subconsciously bought him a band-aid, but I can't give it to him …]

[I hope to see him even if it's my day off. Will I meet him here?]

[Whenever I see Evil Person being close to a girl other than me, my heart will tighten … It's so uncomfortable …]

[I … Maybe I'm sick?]

At the beginning of the fourth chapter, Mengmeng began to notice that the boy with bad intentions wasn't as bad as he seemed. Instead, she gradually realized his good points and started to care about him uncontrollably. After that, many things happened between the two of them that made Mengmeng's heart skip a beat. This made it harder for Mengmeng to remain calm when she saw that boy with bad intentions …

"Everyone, I'm going to turn off the lights!

We still have to wake up at seven tomorrow!

I hope everyone can rest early!

Thank you for your hard work today! "

When Boom reached the main point, Class Rep Iida waved his hands like a robot and turned off the lights in the men's dormitory.

After that, the sound of quilts and clothes rustling could be heard in the darkness. Boom, who was reading the manga, felt his vision go dark, and he was stunned.

Did I unknowingly reach this time?

He frowned and carefully laid down under the quilt. He used the dim light from his smartphone to illuminate the room, and decided to continue reading.

At the beginning of the fifth chapter, the plot progressed quite quickly. Most of it was about the female lead's summer vacation.

As for the sixth chapter, it was about Mengmeng and her classmates meeting for the Summer Festival.

[Wow!

I'm going to my favorite Summer Festival ~]

[I accidentally got lost. When I looked over, there was only me and Evil Person left. We haven't made up yet, so the atmosphere is a bit awkward …]

[Crap, I didn't expect the wooden clogs to break at this time!]

[I didn't expect him to bandage my wounds, and he said he would carry me to class. Speaking of which, from this angle, he does look a bit cute.]

[What does he think of me …]

Boom flipped to the next page, and it just so happened that it was a scene of fireworks that spanned across two pages. The female lead, Daydream, was carefully carried on Evil Person's back. The two of them looked at the flashing fireworks at the riverbank at the same time, and the two of them who were quarreling had their words stolen by the beautiful scenery.

After that, it was the female lead's monologue.

[In this hot summer night, I was carefully carried on Mr. Zero's back. I was so close to him — so close that I could almost see every pore on his face.]

[I secretly looked at his excited child-like eyes as he watched the fireworks, and my heart couldn't help but beat faster.]

[I wanted to get close to him, but I didn't want to hand him over to anyone else. I hoped that he would only look at me. I finally know what this uncomfortable yet sweet feeling is.]

[This' feeling 'is —]

Boom blinked. What exactly was the female lead's feeling at this moment?

Boom was reading excitedly and hurriedly flipped to the next page — but he didn't expect that this was already the end of the sixth chapter, and that he still had to wait for the release of the standalone volume.

Boom: … I'm so angry.

…

…

Boom stared at the fireworks at the end of the sixth chapter, and the 'to be continued' prompt at the bottom left corner of the female lead's monologue for a long time with a broken expression. He finally accepted the fact that there was no continuation to the manga.

— But as expected, he still cared.

This manga was more interesting than he had imagined. Whether it was the special training at the basketball club or the relationship between Daydream and the male lead, they all made him curious: What was the 'feeling' that the female lead Daydream said she wanted to pass to the male lead at the end?

Boom flipped over and recalled the female lead's monologue at the end of the sixth chapter — [I wanted to get close to him, but I didn't want to hand him over to anyone else. I hoped that he would only look at me. I finally know what this uncomfortable yet sweet feeling is.]

This description, this feeling, actually made him empathize with her. Moreover, it was exactly the same as when he was facing that hardworking girl.

So his feelings for Prunus had a 'name'?

What would Daydream say to the evil male lead after she finished?

How would they deal with this relationship?

Boom was now acting like a player who had accidentally obtained a guide — he had followed the flow of the story halfway, but there was no continuation.

That's right, what would he say to the other party after he had this' uncomfortable yet sweet 'feeling?

Boom was thinking about this nonsense, and at the same time, that girl's face appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, he awkwardly opened Line's app on his phone. When he noticed that he had missed her last online time while he was reading the manga, his mood became gloomy again.

Sure enough, the current him was feeling the same as Daydream's — —

…

…

On the other side of the room, in 2-A girl's room.

Reishi: Wahhhh, I bought the new manga yesterday!

Where did I lose it!!

Eight Million: Did you bring the manga?

The teacher clearly said you couldn't bring it.

Ye Yin: What kind of manga is it??

I'm super interested!

Reishi: Sob sob sob … It's' Heartbeat Doki ~ I Want to Get Close to You (1) '. I really wanted to read the author's new work!

Frogblow: Go ask in the class group. Maybe someone just picked it up and read it.

Erlang: Do boys read romance manga?

They won't be interested, right?

Ye Yin: If they read it, it's also very cute!

For example, Explode -kun, Bang King, and so on are also very cute in contrast …

Luto: Pfft!

That's impossible!

Even if the whole class reads it, Boom definitely won't be interested!

Hahahaha — —

Erlang: … Who knows?

…
