Chapter 534: The Moon Rises Above the Willows, and We Meet After Dusk

After dinner, Hanyu Kusunoki took the initiative to help clear the table.

Reiko Akiba sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and switched channels aimlessly. She didn't seem to regard Hanyu Kusunoki as an outsider at all.

As the saying goes, if men and women match, work will not be tiring.

She had carefully prepared such a sumptuous meal, and such trivial tasks as washing dishes should not fall on her head.

"Oh, there are no good shows to watch." Reiko Akita complained.

Hanyu Kusunoki came out of the kitchen and shook off the water on his hands: "Yes, no matter how wonderful the show is, it can't compare to your wonderful performance today."

"That is!"

When Reiko Akiba heard this, a slightly smug look appeared on her face.

She had a premonition that after tonight, her name would surely resound throughout the entire world, and all of this glory and achievement were brought to her by the young man in front of her.

Reiko Akiba turned her head and glanced at Hanyu Kusunoki who sat down next to her, then picked up the remote control to switch programs. Her ruby-like red eyes were shining.

After watching quietly for a while, she suddenly said softly, "Do you like today's gift?"

Although this question has been asked once on the stage, Reiko Akiba still wants to ask it again at this moment, not for anything else, just to hear those words of praise again.

Hanyu Kusunoki stopped switching programs, turned to look at Akiba Reiko, and said seriously, "Of course I like it. It's a great gift."

The corners of Akita Reiko's mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile: "That's good, I was always worried that you didn't like it."

As soon as the words fell, the two fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Hanyu Kusunoki broke the silence and said, "It's late. Go to bed early. I'll go back first."

As he said this, he stood up from the sofa.

Reiko Akiba stared at Hanyu Kusunoki's receding back, opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say, and couldn't think of any reason to ask her to stay.

She was just an ordinary singer, while the other party was a young master of noble status. The two of them should have been in two parallel worlds with no intersection, but because of the tacit understanding between their souls, they were miraculously brought close to each other.

He redeemed her and became a light in her darkness.

But at this moment, she could only stare at him stupidly, walking out of the living room step by step, towards the door, and then slowly stepped out.

"Bang~"

With a dull sound, the door closed again.

The room instantly became cold and lonely again, with only her left.

When Reiko Akiba took out a loan to buy this apartment, what she valued most was the quiet and peaceful environment here.

However, people are fickle, especially women.

If you break down the word "loneliness" into two parts, you will find children, fruits, puppies, mosquitoes and flies, which are enough to support the entrance of an alley on a midsummer evening, full of human touch.

Those children, fruits, cats, dogs, and flies are of course lively and cheerful, but all of these have nothing to do with me.

Perhaps this is what true loneliness is.

Hanyu Kusunoki stood in front of the elevator, holding his chin with one hand, looking calm. He was not in a hurry to press the elevator button, but was patiently waiting for something.

The result did not disappoint him.

"Hey, could you please not leave?"

Hearing the anxious and expectant calls coming from behind, Hanyu Kusunoki raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and turned around, "But what should I do if someone is waiting for me at home?"

Outside the door, Akita Reiko pinched the hem of her skirt, as if she had made a very important decision. Her red eyes first closed, then suddenly opened, and she bit her red lips and said, "But I'm waiting for you too!"

After saying this, she seemed to lose all her courage at once, and looked a little uneasy.

The ever-proud queen of music lowered her noble head for the first time, anxiously waiting for the final verdict.

Time passed little by little.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just when Reiko Akiba felt that she was about to collapse, a big warm hand gently pressed on her soft hair and rubbed it gently.

"Ms. Lianzi, congratulations, you finally got out."

Hanyu Kusunoki looked into the raised red eyes of Akiba Reiko and spoke softly.

..........

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

In the spacious living room, Hanyu Kusunoki leaned comfortably on the soft sofa, watching the program playing on the TV in front of him leisurely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a curve.

The trouble should end it.

If Reiko Akiba wants to walk out of the door of her heart that she once closed for herself, she can only rely on her own efforts, and all he can do is to help her find the lost key.

As for whether to open that door or not, the final choice is always in Akiba Reiko's own hands.

What Hanyu Kusunoki hopes is that from now on, Akiba Reiko will only have her in her heart.

Perhaps this idea is a bit overbearing.

But he likes it, and this alone is enough.

In the bedroom, Reiko Akiba, who had already let go of her worries, was humming a sweet little song happily, with her eyebrows curved with a charming smile, and she was adjusting the gorgeous dress she would wear to the concert that day in front of the mirror.

She wants to prepare a special gift for the handsome boy.

Although the gifts had been delivered during the day, there were too many people appreciating them at the time, so it wasn't perfect.

And this time, only one person could appreciate her gift.

The night grew darker and darker like ink.

"Click~"

With a slight noise, the bedroom door was gently opened.

Under the dim light, Reiko Akiba walked out slowly and gracefully. She was wearing a white dress that represented purity, which added a unique charm to her.

At this moment, compared to the high-pitched queen on the stage during the day, although she was dressed the same way, she was less cold and unapproachable, and instead had more tenderness like water.

She was like a beautiful painting that suddenly came to life.

"Does it look good?" Reiko Akiba held up the hem of her skirt and turned around gracefully in front of the sofa.

She was wearing a flawless white dress, with long black hair tied behind her head, a beauty that was not inferior to any other woman even though she was not wearing any makeup, and a pair of stunning red eyes under her slender eyebrows.

At this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Hanyu Kusunoki's eyes were filled with amazement that could not be concealed, and he praised sincerely: "You are so beautiful, even more beautiful than you were on the stage during the day."
