The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day - The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day chapter 56

56 – Do you like me?

The story continues even when the book is closed.

‘After that, the two lived happily ever after.’ I don’t know if I should believe such trite comments. However, it is certain that at least the world in the story faces the future in some way.

Looking at the countless books on the bookshelf of the library, I suddenly fell into that thought.

“What are you thinking?”

Ina, who sat across from me, asked. With a quiet but clear voice, with a bashful laugh.

“Nothing.”

“If it’s nothing, that means you were thinking about something else, right?”

“Sorry.”

“Ahahahaha. Don’t you want to study?”

“Well, not good… ….”

Unbeknownst to me, I let out a weak answer.

I will definitely stick with you and teach you my studies after the school trip is over. Ina was faithfully fulfilling that promise. As for me, I don’t care if Ina completely forgets her promise or doesn’t keep her promise.

After Ina gave up on being a ‘good kid’.

Ina was living with her mother once in her life. I and my parents said it was okay, but she said she would go back to her house. She said that she would be independent anyway when she became an adult.

Nothing else has changed. There was no noticeable difference, except that she was better able to express her thoughts. She must have been a good and obedient child.

To put it mildly, she has come to show playfulness to people other than me.

Ina whispered as she turned her ballpoint pen.

“Still, I want you to study hard. I want to spend the campus life with you.”

“Well, yes. Yes. I want to do that too.”

The problem is that the goal is so far away that you can’t even reach it. It is a gap that is invisible to the naked eye, let alone reachable.

Looking at the numbers written in the workbook, I already felt like my stomach was pounding. If this is the case, it would be nice if a plastic bag was added as an appendix to the workbook.

She eventually took her eyes off the problem book. In front of her, Ina was writing something in her notebook.

“But is it really okay to just go on a study date?”

I asked while holding her chin, and Ina tilted her head.

“Don’t like it?”

“No. I don’t hate it. It’s me. It’s good if you help me study. But what, are you more free now? I wondered if I could go far to play.”

“Ahahahaha. That would be nice too. I wanted to sit in the couple’s seat and watch a movie.”

“I can still do that.”

However, Ina shook her head.

“Even so. I’m happy just being with you like this.”

It was a clear tone, as if there was not the slightest lie mixed in.

“Because I have been learning all this time that everyday life like this is very precious.”

A word I’ve heard many times. Now it was like Ina’s habit.

But she wasn’t bored. Rather, every time she hears it, it catches her heart anew.

Because I was unable to enjoy a normal life, I know how to cherish this kind of time. I must not let this time go to waste.

“Then I’m glad.”

As if to organize a conversation, I handed over a word and turned my attention to the problem book. Okay. Let’s study hard. That’s why I must go to the same university as Ina.

However, that enthusiasm did not last long.

“Head.”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, she heard a sound that sounded like a fat, and she raised her head.

Ina was caressing the ends of her own hair. Her fluffy, visible hair flowed softly.

Noticing my gaze, Ina looked me straight in the eye and opened her mouth.

“I thought her hair was quite long.”

“Ah.”

I heard and saw that. Compared to when I first met her, it was obvious that her hair had grown longer.

“Yes.”

“Umm~ The reaction is not cool.”

She answered as usual, but she put on a rather pouty expression.

“Ugh, hmm. So, does it suit you well?”

“Why the question mark?”

“Sorry. Actually, I don’t know what answer you want.”

To be honest, Jaina hardened her expression for the moment.

“Stupid.”

“Stupid?”

Mmm. I really don’t know what you want. She was scratching her head and confused, so she finally turned her head away in excitement. What did I do wrong? I am thinking deeply.

“Me, you said you like long hair, so I worked hard to grow it.”

Ina gave her the correct answer.

Come to think of it, I was talking about the length of her hair.

“I said it at the time, but if I had to choose, it would be long hair. I like your short hair too.”

“Still, you mean long is better than short, right? I have no choice but to grow my hair when I hear that.”

“No, it’s really okay…” ….”

“I had dirty thoughts every day to grow my hair.”

“You don’t have to tell me.”

“He said he liked women with big breasts, so I drank it every day.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I never said I like girls with big breasts.”

“They said they liked cats better than dogs, so they tried hard to be like cats.”

She walked away and accepted Ina’s story, but Ina’s heart showed no signs of relaxing.

Come to think of it, she deserved it. She’s been trying to please me, and I just haven’t noticed. …… I don’t know what it means to be like a cat.

Ina, whose mouth was sticking out, didn’t even make eye contact with me.

Of course, if we leave her alone, she will soon lose her temper and come to talk to her. But that’s the only way to take advantage of Yaina’s big heart. I’ll have to fix what I did wrong.

As I was thinking about what to do then, I suddenly remembered a bet I had made in the past.

“I’m sorry.”

Even though I handed over her apology, Ina did not turn her head. As if she wanted me to listen, she just let out a hum.

She can’t help it.

“I’ll grant you one wish in return.”

“Really?”

She immediately looks at me with her eyes twinkling. She’s my girlfriend, but isn’t it too easy? As a boyfriend, she was worrisome.

“Yes. Well, I won’t be able to do anything huge, but I’ll do what I can.”

“Umm~”

From what I said, Ina seemed to start thinking about what to say right away. It’s to the point where she doubts if she’s the one she’s been mad at so far.

Soon after, Ina lightly clapped her hands.

“Ah!”

Then she chuckled.

“Then… …. Can you answer just one question?”

“Question?”

“Yes!”

Ina’s face was full of smiles. She

She said she would grant a wish, but she asked a question. It was an unexpected wish. Should I say that she is the answer?

Well, anyway, I just need to answer. Rather, it was just comfortable.

“What is it?”

When I asked that, Ina pushed her face away and closed the distance between her.

Brown hair. Big eyes and long eyelashes. Skin as white as snow. A face with a slight smile. And a little bit reddened cheeks.

Ina, who filled my vision, quietly asked a question.

“Do you like me?”

…… What?

As soon as I heard it, I almost burst out laughing. What question is this? It was an absurd question, to the point where it could be said that there could be no question more bizarre than this.

“Is that all?”

“Yes.”

“Would you really be angry if I answered that question?”

“Right.”

Ina nodded her head cautiously as she stood, squinting her eyes.

“Because I have a boyfriend who doesn’t speak his mind honestly. Opportunities like this are rare.”

Ina’s eyes are fixed on me. Well, I will gradually work on that part. But these days, I try to express myself better.

Well, that’s it. What does my opinion matter? Didn’t your sister even tell you? Don’t be too cold, it would be better to express more.

Then…….

After thinking about it for a while, I found the answer I needed.

I don’t know if mom or dad will get angry if I say these things. I don’t know if my sister or Jia will laugh at me. Sera might feel a little sad.

Still, I decided to tell you my honest feelings.

“I’ve been thinking about something lately.”

“Huh?”

As I let go of my luck, Ina tilted her head.

Facing her eyes straight, I kept talking behind my back.

“Would you like to marry me after graduating from college?”

“…… Huh?”

Ina’s pupils widened in an instant. She just stared at me with her blank face, her mouth open in surprise.

“What is that? Right after graduating from high school…… Is not realistically difficult. Oh, and since we both need preparation in many ways. Uhm, that’s it.”

What am I talking about.

As I am not accustomed to such expressions, I feel ashamed. As for Ina, I could see her cheeks turning red.

Soon after, Ina smiled shyly.

“Isn’t that the answer to my question?”

“I know. Still, I want to let you know my heart.”

“Ahahahaha. I see.”

Ina lowered her head and placed her palms on her chest. As if replaying my words over and over again.

And finally, Ina raised her face.

She has the brightest smile I’ve ever seen.

She made eye contact with me and answered her.

“Yes!”
