Having finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Kiyono Lin:

"I hope that in the future, the three of us can too."

Vehicles moved along the tarred road, their headlights illuminating his handsome profile, every movement filled with the grace of a beautiful young man.

"Which three?" Kiyono Lin asked knowingly.

"Of course, you, me, and K-san." Dubian Che said, "Some things I only tell you. Right now, we are all in the same class, playing around every day, but the three of us could be friends for a lifetime."

"Based on what reason?"

"What reason is needed? By the way, when I went to get the roses, I thought of something silly."

"Hmm?"

"When you asked me in the kitchen what I was still doing here, didn't you call me Mr. Che?"

"Hmm." Kiyono Lin nodded.

"Just before I said that, I was calling you 'Ms. Lin' in my heart."

"Then what? What silly thing did you think of?"

"I was thinking, aren't we too in sync? Could it be that we are twins."

"For sure not; you are nothing like my parents, and our family hasn't lost any children."

"Just saying, I wouldn't be happy to be twins with you either."

"Afraid you couldn't like me anymore?" Kiyono Lin tucked her hair, blown by the wind, behind her ear.

"What are you talking about, liking, my dear sister, it's not appropriate for siblings to talk about this," Dubian Che said with an air of 'Kiyono Che.'

"Why siblings, not brother and sister?"

"I have no objections; brother and sister could work too, I'm open-minded."

Kiyono Lin gave him a look that forbade him from making dirty jokes, and Dubian Che apologized.

"When were you born on June 6?" she asked.

"Two o'clock in the morning." Dubian Che turned to look at her, "And you?"

"..."

"Younger than me? Hahaha!"

Kiyono Lin didn't laugh, just looked at him.

Dubian Che stopped laughing, astonished, "It couldn't possibly be the same time, could it?"

This time Kiyono Lin laughed happily.

Her smile was as beautiful as a sunset, faint, without much warmth.

The two looked at each other, clearly just a coincidence, yet due to their close relationship, they wished it were destiny.

The special magic power from the music classroom during the day seemed to have traveled with the wind and returned here.

Dubian Che shifted his gaze; in his peripheral vision, "Shinano Town Station" was not far away.

"What a pity, it looks like we really aren't twins; the dream of the grand young master of the Kiyono family has been shattered." He sighed as if he really regretted it, letting the magic be carried away by the wind.

Kiyono Lin looked at him amusedly.

Having understood from Mayi Asuka the responsibility Dubian Che carried, she no longer called him timid.

"Mr. Dubian, do you have enough courage?" she stopped walking, no longer approaching the station.

Dubian Che also stopped, saying with the air of a teenager still short of his seventeenth birthday, "Apart from Mei and you, there's nothing I'm afraid of."

"It seems not enough," Kiyono Lin said.

"What do you mean?"

"Mayi Asuka said if she isn't with you, she would choose to end her life, but Jiutiao wouldn't allow you to have a lover."

Having said this, Kiyono Lin looked directly into Dubian Che's dark, bright eyes.

"Mr. Dubian, are you going to reform and seek forgiveness from Jiutiao Mei, or gather enough courage to turn this dire situation into a path leading to happiness for everyone?"

Beneath the almond tree on the tarred road, the two remained silent, only hearing the sound of passing cars.

"What do you mean by saying that?" Dubian Che asked with unprecedented coldness.

Usually easygoing, once he turned cold, he seemed surprisingly weighty.

Kiyono Lin noticed, but she covered her mouth with her hand, looking rather appealing as she smiled.

She understood everything about Dubian Che; he probably thought she was no longer competing with Jiutiao Mei and had decided to let him go.

Was he not concerned about his own future, but instead concerned whether she still loved him?

This person usually pretends to say that the two of them were just friends.

She looked mockingly at Dubian Che and said:

"Mr. Dubian, in this world, in my life, there is only one Dubian Che."

"That's a given." Dubian Che's expression softened.

"In this world, in your life, there's also only one Kiyono Lin."

Observing his expression, Kiyono Lin continued, "Jiutiao, Asuka, Xiaoquan, each of them is unique."

Finally, she said teasingly:

"Let me watch carefully what you really think and what you will do, Mr. Dubian."

Dubian Che was momentarily stunned, then smiled helplessly, "Ms. Kiyono, please have some sympathy."

"Sorry, I can't grant you that, I am indeed a bad woman," Kiyono Lin said with a light smile.
