Chapter 14 The Girl's Heartfelt Confession

Upon hearing Claire's words, Qiuhe conjured up some images in his mind, but he wasn't sure what she meant.

Clementine's face grew increasingly red as she slowly moved closer to Qiuhe's embrace, as if trying to merge herself into his embrace.

"To me, you are like a piece of a puzzle for the rest of my life. Without you, I feel like I've lost my heart, and I'm no longer whole." (Inatsume's words)

Claire spoke softly, her voice filled with affection and tenderness.

"The day I met you was like the encounter of light and shadow, like a warm ray of dawn illuminating my world and adding a touch of splendor to my lonely life." (Inatsume's words)

Claire continued, her eyes sparkling.

"I hope it's you in this life and you in the next." (Inazuma's words) When Clementine said these last words, her eyes were full of expectation and longing.

Qiuhe listened to these words, feeling lost and confused. He didn't know how to respond, because they seemed to conceal some deeper meaning that he couldn't quite grasp.

A gentle breeze swept through the room, ruffling Claire's hair, and her breathing quickened. Finally, she whispered her last words.

"The moonlight is beautiful." (Inatsume's words) This simple yet beautiful phrase became a bridge for their spiritual communication.

Qiuhe also looked out the window, and seeing the moon in the sky, he suddenly realized, "So what she was saying earlier was all about the moon!"

He closed his eyes again and carefully felt the gentle breeze on his face; it was indeed very comfortable and pleasant. Qiuhe couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, this breeze is very gentle too."

Receiving a response from the boy, Clementine's eyes shone even brighter, like jewels flashing with light. She pursed her lips slightly, smiling shyly. Looking at her beautiful smile, Qiuhe felt a warm feeling welling up inside him. But just then, Clementine suddenly raised her head gently and slowly closed her eyes.

Qiuhe thought to himself that what he had just said should have been relevant to her topic, right? But after waiting for a while, he still didn't hear Claire speak.

He looked down at Clementine with a puzzled expression and found that she had closed her eyes, as if she were asleep. But he quickly noticed that Clementine's lips were slightly parted, carrying a hint of alluring fragrance.

Qiuhe frowned, completely bewildered. Why had Clementine suddenly closed her eyes? Had he said something to upset her?

He felt a surge of tension and confusion, unsure how to handle the situation. He tried to understand Clementine's actions, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt trapped in a mystery.

Completely unaware of what Clementine was doing, Clementine noticed that Akiha was not reacting. Suddenly, she remembered that in the book, it seemed that the girl took the initiative to kiss the boy. Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

So, her lips slowly moved closer to Qiuhe's. Seeing this, Qiuhe felt as if his head was on fire, burning hot.

His body involuntarily recoiled. However, Clementine's cherry-red lips pressed closer, as if she had made up her mind.

At this moment, Qiuhe had no idea what Clementine wanted to do, let alone why she would do such a thing. His thoughts gradually became chaotic, and he even began to doubt whether he could still maintain a clear mind.

"Why does Clementine always do things that I can't understand?" He tried to find the answer in Clementine's previous words.

(It's you now, and I hope it will be you in the future.)

Without you, I will no longer be whole.

(Like a warm ray of dawn, it illuminated my originally gloomy life)

(A vibrant splash of color in my lonely life)

(The moonlight is so beautiful... The moonlight is so beautiful...)

At this moment, Qiuhe felt as if a short-circuited wire in his head had suddenly reconnected, and he also had a bad premonition.

"Could he have been speaking Inatsuma language at the end? Inatsuma language corresponds to Japanese, and what he just said sounded like a confession line from a romance anime!"

"And that line about the beautiful moonlight, doesn't that mean... I just said the wind was gentle too! Isn't that a response to her?"

"I can't respond to her. There are too many questions. We've only known each other for a few days, and he's known Tian Yaochen and Kai Lexintis for so long, but it seems like nothing special has developed between them."

Qiuhe was filled with questions: "I don't think I was that good to her, so why did he suddenly..."

His mind was a complete mess, his gaze wandering aimlessly, utterly clueless about how to handle the situation. If things continued like this, he would surely crash again.

He thought to himself, "Perhaps the only thing I can do is try explaining the situation to her." So, he tried to calm himself down and began, "C-Cress, listen..."

However, just as he turned his face to face, ready to say something, Claire's lips pressed against his.

The surroundings were unusually quiet, with only a gentle breeze blowing and moonlight falling on their faces. The beatings of their hearts intertwined, as if playing a beautiful symphony.

This kiss seemed to transcend all the words spoken before. Claire felt the warmth and moisture on her lips.

Qiuhe, however, was lost in the sweetness on his lips, as if in a dream, feeling that it was all too beautiful to be real, gazing at the stunning beauty of the girl before him.

It's better to let yourself revel in all this beauty. Just then, Qiuhe felt something being brought into his mouth.

His tongue—yes, Claire was slowly extending her tongue into Akihe's mouth, as if it were about to entwine with her own tongue at any moment.

Before Claire could even touch Akikawa's tongue, Akikawa instantly grabbed Claire's shoulders and shook her violently.

"Aaaaaah~ Clementine, wake up! What's wrong with you? Are you possessed by some demon remnant? Wake up, wake up, wake up~! Wake up!"

Clementine's head was being shaken like a rattle drum, and with Qiuhe's violent shaking, a book fell out of Clementine's clothes.

Qiuhe stopped what he was doing, while Claire was already seeing stars, as if all the stars in the sky were circling around her. "Uh, uh uh uh uh, so many. Stars. Stars. Ah~"

Clementine collapsed onto the bed, and Akikawa picked up the novel that had fallen from her. "(A blessing from heaven illuminates the heart that loves you)"

"Romance novels?"

Qiuhe was muttering to himself. Then he slowly opened the novel and began to read. After a long while, Claire slowly regained consciousness, and Qiuhe had almost finished reading.

"It's just a regular romance novel."

"And some of the plot points in the novel are exactly the same as what I just had with Clementine. Could it be that Clementine got into character?"

"Produced by Yaedo." Upon hearing this, Claire instantly snapped back to reality.

"Ha~, I thought that stinky fox's novels were all just random nonsense, but it turns out he does have some really down-to-earth ones."

Claire, seeing Akikawa muttering to himself while reading her novel, blushed instantly. She hurriedly snatched the novel, clutched it to her chest, and slowly backed away.

"You you you you you me me"

Claire stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly.

"You, Leyi, it's getting dark, you should get some rest. I'm leaving now, I'm going back to my room. Goodbye."

After saying that, Clementine hurriedly tried to leave, but in her haste, she tripped over the table and fell. Akikawa looked at Clementine lying on the ground, groaning.

They quickly went over and helped her up. "What happened to Clementine? Are you alright?"

"foot,"

Qiuhe looked at Claire's previously injured foot, which was now stuck under the table, indicating that it had been twisted badly again. He noticed the ankle was gradually becoming red and swollen.

Qiuhe's heart skipped a beat. He knew it must hurt a lot to twist the same ankle twice, so he quickly carried Claire back to the bed.

"Cressy, wait a minute, I'll go get the leftover medicine from last time."

Seeing tears welling up in Clementine's eyes as I applied the medicine again filled me with immense heartache.

Do you remember what happened to Claire just now?

Claire gently wiped away her tears. "What?" Qiuhe was silent for a moment. "Nothing, you were eating macarons with me and then fell asleep."

"It seems he was shaken quite badly just now, and there's probably part of it he doesn't remember yet. It's best not to remind him, otherwise, I don't know how he'll face himself for what he did back then."
