Time in a collapsing world

"Sigh... I thought we were just pure friends..." Li showed an expression of "I'm very disappointed in you, kid".

"I really just squinted for a while!"

Destobia loudly proved her innocence, stretched out her hands, grabbed Li's shoulders and shook them, "Really, you have to believe me!"

"Ah, yes, yes, you just squinted for a while. Anyway, I believe it."

"Your tone doesn't sound like you believe me at all!"

"Destobia~?"

Alicia walked down from the second floor at some point and silently hugged Destobia's neck.

"!!!"

Destobia's body suddenly stiffened. It was over. Was she about to be choked? !

"Team, team, team...Captain! I really didn't pretend to sleep..."

"Shh~ don't be too loud, otherwise it won't be good if you disturb the neighbors while sleeping~?"

Alicia covered Destobia's lips and rested her head on her neck. Destobia could even feel Alicia's warmth close at hand.

"Uh huh...!"

But I feel like if I don’t explain, I will never have the chance to explain.

Destobia looked at Li with pitiful eyes, hoping that he could say something nice for her this time.

But the other party just looked at it happily and had no intention of helping at all.

Just when Destobia thought my life was at risk, Alicia said softly: "Destobia, sometimes you don't have to hide your feelings in your heart, just say them out loud~? "

"……what?"

"Don't you like Li?"

"I do not have……"

"No, you do."

"……what?"

"I don't even have to pretend to be asleep to be in contact with him... Oh, I am very supportive of such a wonderful love~?"

"..."

Destobia was a little confused. Isn't this situation wrong? Has the captain always had this attitude towards people who robbed her of things?

Destobia was dumbfounded, completely unaware of the cunning look in Alicia's eyes. She had already seen when Destobia explained that the other party was indeed telling the truth. Destobia Ya had indeed fallen asleep just now, and was not in contact with Li for any other purpose.

Now that this point is clear, it's okay. She was really scared to death. She thought there was really another competitor. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

As for why he deliberately teased her... of course it was because it was fun. Seeing this cute girl panic, the smile on Alicia's face almost never disappeared.

"oh oh……"

Destobia nodded in understanding, and then turned her gaze to Li. He just had a speechless expression on his face, but it was not directed at her, but at Alicia behind him.

Alicia is teasing people again...

This was what Li was thinking in his heart at this moment. Like Alicia, he also understood Destobia's true thoughts, so his originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He was scared to death, thinking that Destobia was really interested in him... Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding, otherwise he would have to think about how to reject her tactfully.

Oh, this doesn't mean that Li has no feelings for Destobia, but that he doesn't want to fall in love at all now. His instinct is driving him to find his other half, but his reason stops him.

It's better not to harm other people's beautiful girls as a short-lived ghost.

"Why are you looking at me? Do you want to confess your love on the spot?"

Facing Destobia's gaze and understanding her thoughts, Li began to speak casually and joined Alicia's camp of teasing the innocent little girl.

"..."

Destobia felt the throbbing deep in her heart and shook her head crazily.

It's hard to understand people's hearts sometimes, and even Li and Alicia sometimes make mistakes.

"Eh~ I thought I could see Li really get a girlfriend~?"

There was obvious disappointment in Alicia's tone.

Come on, if a girl really confesses to me sincerely, you will definitely be the first person to stand up and stop her!

Li sneered in her heart.

"Then captain, why don't you go and express your love..."

After holding it in for a long time, Destobia finally whispered a word.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to give me this opportunity?"

Alicia was eager to give it a try.

"……what?"

Destobia turned her head again in surprise, couldn't she? She was just talking casually!

"Hmm...I'm very shy, but I'll do my best~?"

No, no, you don’t actually have to force yourself.

Destobia wanted to stop her, but she suddenly felt regretful for what she had just said, but Li said carelessly: "I don't care."

I didn’t ask you!

Destobia glared at him, but Alicia had already started.

"Ahem...Li, I like you~?"

"Well, I like you too."

"Then let's be boyfriend and girlfriend~?"

"I reject."

"Eh?"

This was the sound of surprise made by Destobia. Alicia herself seemed to have already known the answer and was not frustrated.

"Any questions?"

Li looked at Destobia.

No, no, no...this is obviously a big problem!

Although she couldn't suppress her happiness, Destobia still wanted to understand the confusion.

"Didn't you say you like the captain?"

"correct."

Li nodded.

"Then why didn't you agree to her request?"

"Do we have to be boyfriend and girlfriend if we like it?"

Li asked strangely.

"Forehead……"

Is not it?

"Destobia, the world of adults is sometimes very difficult to understand..."

Here it comes again, this tone of pretending to be mature, it is obvious that he is not much older than me.

"What a pity. I thought you would save me some face in front of others..."

Alicia wiped away the glimmer of light from the corner of her eyes. She really looked like a lost girl who failed to confess her love.

Li rolled his eyes. He knew Alicia very well. Although most of the confession was joking, if he really agreed, Li believed that Alicia would definitely use this as an excuse. Make a lot of trouble.

"Stop making trouble, go to bed... Destobia, sorry, we were just teasing you, don't take it to heart."

"……what?"

This is the first time Destobia has said this word tonight.

She thought for a moment and said, "In other words, you have already understood that it was just a misunderstanding?"

"correct."

Li pointed at Alicia and said, "But I'm just cooperating with her acting. The captain wants to tease you, but I can't stop him."

"Hmm~?"

Alicia hummed a little tune and regained her happy look.

"Then... the confession just now was also false?"

"Correct."

"..."

It means that Li's rejection of Alicia's confession is also a lie... Alas, I am happy for nothing.
