There was no one around, and the lonely and sparse voices came from far away from the primary ski trail.

The two lay side by side in the thick snow, looking at the blue sky.

"You would say this sentence when I was racing off-road vehicles, no, you should have guessed it from the beginning." Qingye Rin said.

"Then why are you?"

"You have the disadvantage of not being decisive enough, but you also have the advantage of being responsible."

"After all, we are just ordinary people." Toru Watanabe said in a relaxed tone.

Qingye Rin sighed deeply, and the white mist curled up and disappeared into the air.

"You really forgot," she said.

"Forgot?" Toru Watanabe turned his head and looked at her profile in confusion.

The girl's beautiful little face is whiter than snow, and has an alluring vitality.

"Your goal - "Tokyo Handsome Guy"."

"I haven't forgotten it." Watanabe Toru laughed and stretched out his hands in the air, as if he wanted to grasp the sky in his hands. "I still remember the first time I said it, you laughed at me for a long time."

Rin Kiyono also smiled: "It's not that I looked down on the "Handsome Guy from Tokyo", but I thought you couldn't do it at all."

"At that time? Does that mean I can do it now?"

"No." Qingye Rin shook his head gently, his hair rubbing against the snow, making an inaudible rustling sound, "After more than half a year of getting along, I found that you really can't do it."

"..."

Rin Kiyono turned his head and looked at Toru Watanabe: "Not convinced?"

"Kind of."

"If you are with Kujo, it is absolutely impossible to become a "Tokyo handsome guy" - you are very good at blending into the environment, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage."

"So, I have no hope for the rest of my life? My dream is shattered? Is this the end of my life?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"There is a way to save it," Qingye Rin's eyes were deep and charming, "Stay with me every day."

"..."

"Only me, who is honest, noble, cute, beautiful, brave, strong, elegant, pure and smart, can help you become a "Tokyo Handsome Boy", and no one else can."

"You have many advantages, your only disadvantage is that you are too narcissistic."

Qingye Rin smiled casually, showing absolute confidence in himself.

"Hmm, you are indeed honest, noble, and lovely...what's next?"

"I am perfect. There is no need for any discussion. Please grasp the key point of what I just said." Qingye Rin reminded.

Watanabe Toru thought of Asuka Mai.

Faced with her feelings, he rejected her many times, until that night at "Higashiyama Villa" in Kyoto, the two became lovers.

This matter has been hidden from Miki Kujo until now.

If I were with Rin Kiyono.

She never lies and can see through lies. Whether he wants it or not, he will tell her about Mai-senpai as soon as possible.

What will happen to him and Asuka Mai in the end? Because the premise is "if", it is impossible to guess, but one thing is certain.

Question: Do you feel more "Tokyo handsome" when you are with Rin Kiyono?

Answer: Yes.

"I promised Meiki that I would be with her," Toru Watanabe said.

"I'm not trying to convince you. If you lose this bonfire party, you will lose. In the future, I will let you give up Kujo because you love me too much."

"I don't believe it." Toru Watanabe thought that he liked this narcissist enough now.

But he also likes Kujo Miki and has responsibilities towards her. He must also watch over her and prevent her from killing people.

"You have your opinion, and I have what I want to do." Qingye Rin looked at the sky again, "Let you like my research, defeat Kujo Miki, and walk unswervingly on your own path in life.

superior."

"Qingye-san, you are really bad, deliberately breaking up lovers for your own sake."

"I never said I was a good person, right? But it's all your fault."

"Because I'm so handsome and outstanding that you can't help yourself?" Toru Watanabe said.

"If you walked into the Human Observation Club and fell in love with me immediately, I would not let you join the club; if your confession to Kujo Miki was not a lie at the beginning."

Toru Watanabe concluded: "Everything is a combination of circumstances and circumstances."

"Watanabe." Kiyono Rin called softly.

"Um?"

"Tell me, I want to know about you and Kujo."

After a moment of silence, Watanabe Toru gathered his thoughts:

"On May 10th, at nine o'clock in the evening, I was at Ochanomizu..."

The warm sun in winter shines on the two people lying in the snow.

It was noon, meal time at the campground restaurant, and there was no one on the advanced ski slopes.

"She is so lucky." Qingye Rin sighed, and then her tone became slightly excited, "But if I can stand on the unlucky side and defeat her, the sense of victory will be stronger, and her frustration will be even greater."

"I really impress you, most people would give up, right?"

"I have been fighting alone since I was four years old. I am more indestructible than anyone else. I am not the kind of person who 'everything must be successful as soon as I do it'. Although I almost never fail, I am never afraid of failure..."

"Is this one of the things that proves your excellence?" Toru Watanabe said.

"That's right."

"That's it. After listening to what you said, my liking for you has increased a lot!"

"Ah, are you going to admit defeat now?"

"How can it be!"

"That's good." Qingye Rin nodded with satisfaction, "It's very satisfying to be able to overcome problems."

"Stop talking, I know, this is also one of your outstanding points."

Qingye Rin pursed her lips and smiled. She had not originally planned to say this.

"You're right." She nodded slightly in affirmation.

The two stopped talking and lay in the snow, looking at the sky for a long time.

Midway, Toru Watanabe suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Kiyono-kun, do you remember "From Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo"?" he said.

""400 Kilometers"." Qingye Rin completed the movie title, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Ah——, my love has gone far away with the south wind..."

"Don't sing." Qingye Rin immediately interrupted him.

"Then you sing." Toru Watanabe turned his head and looked at her expectantly.

Qingye Rin's chest rose and fell slightly. After adjusting her breathing, she began to sing softly.

"Every time I meet you unexpectedly"

"Always makes me completely forget everything"

"Playing and playing like a little girl"

"Can you hear my pounding heartbeat?"

"Coral reefs dapple our skin with reflections"

"It's okay if it's just the two of us"

"because I like you"

The voice is clean and full of transparency, and the singing is sad and sweet, which makes people feel fascinated.

Many years later, Toru Watanabe still remembered that day, the clear winter sky was beautiful, the scent of Rin Kiyono was faint but always present on the tip of his nose, and her singing voice.

The two went off the ski slopes, took off their ski clothes and returned their skis.

In front of the campsite.

"Thank you for your guidance, Coach Qingye."

"Next Monday write me a human observation report on "Learning to Ski with a Beautiful Girl Coach, Two or Three Thoughts in a Boy's Mind"."

"......ah?"

"As a minister, I will also write a report on "Teaching men who lie to ski, beautiful girls have two or three thoughts in their minds"... Do you have any other opinions?"

"No, I just feel like you are very prejudiced against me."

"Don't you lie?"

"Occasionally..." Under Kiyono Rin's oppressive eyes, Watanabe Toru changed his answer, "Always."

"I'm not a beautiful girl?"

"One thousand percent beautiful girl."
