"Takeri, thank you. ”

——

In early summer, the gray sky was a little dreary, and with a thunderclap, raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky......

"Qianxue, let's go back, Dad said that I will work overtime tonight, and Mom will accompany you for your birthday tonight, okay?"

"I don't! I'm going to wait here for my dad to get off work, he said he was going to spend my birthday with me yesterday!"

Outside the gate in front of an office building, a mother and daughter were talking, the girl was carrying a small schoolbag on her shoulder, her face was full of stubbornness, and her small mouth was humming so high.

Today is her birthday, and when her mother picks her up, she wants to come here and wait for her father to come home from work.

"It's raining so hard......"

The girl stared blankly at the heavy rain, her thin body couldn't help shrinking behind her mother, such a heavy rain should be the safest in her mother's arms.

Beyond her embrace, there is a slightly cruel world.

It rained for a long time, and the mother and daughter couldn't go home for a while.

Until the end of work, many white-collar workers came out of the office building, and Takigawa also hurried from the lobby.

Qianxue was happy in her heart, and called him from a long distance.

"Dad, are you off work?"

The man smiled, came over and squatted down, as tall as Qianxue, and he reached out his broad palm to touch her head, with some bitterness on his face.

"Qianxue, Dad broke his promise, the company has an important guest, Dad can't go away, let Mom accompany you for your birthday at night, okay?"

"But you promised me ......"

There was some crying in Qianxue's voice.

"Dad can't help it, I only have to work harder, Qianxue can go to a better school, can wear more beautiful clothes, and Mom can take care of you at home with peace of mind, Qianxue, Dad wishes you a happy birthday. ”

"Hmm...... Then, next year's birthday, you must accompany me!"

"Yes, Daddy promises you. ”

"Pull the hook. ”

"Pull the hook. ”

The little fingers of the father and daughter hooked together and made a promise.

"You go back, Qianxue and I'll take her home. Riko sighed softly and whispered.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Takikawa nodded, stretched out his thick and warm palm to touch Qianxue's face, and then got up and walked quickly to the company.

Qianxue took her mother's finger and looked at her father's back, and after a long time, she raised her head and asked her, "Is that guest really heavy?"

Lizi smiled and touched her head, and said gently, "It's because Qianxue is important, that's why it seems that the guest is important." ”

Chiyuki didn't understand this, she took Riko's finger, the rain outside became lighter, and the mother and daughter opened a big brown umbrella and walked home.

The heavy rain was followed by a continuous drizzle, and Chiyuki took Riko's hand and took small steps, jumping on the checkered tiles.

"Beware of the rain. ”

"It's okay!"

Walking to the side of the viaduct, the bullet train passed from above, and there was a rumbling sound, the bullet train had no life, but it made a sound like the heartbeat of the world, and Qianxue was full of longing and yearning for this sound.

"Meow ......"

Qianxue heard a faint inaudible cry from the rumbling sound.

She pulled Riko to a halt.

"What's wrong?"

"Listen carefully!"

Riko was a little strange, she didn't hear anything.

"Meow ......"

Qianxue became excited, and she exclaimed, "It's a cat! I heard the cat's meow!"

"No, I don't. ”

"Yes!"

Chiyuki was about to look for her nearby, so Riko had to hold an umbrella and look for it with her.

But this cry was too weak, Qianxue wanted to wait for the train to pass, and then listen carefully, but the sound of the train stopped, and the cat's barking also stopped.

The rain was pouring down, and the passers-by were holding umbrellas, their faces cold and numb, and they hurried by, and few people could notice the small cardboard box under the bridge.

A little white cat less than two months old was lying on the edge of the cardboard box, and it wanted to climb out, but its thin body couldn't even climb out of the small cardboard box.

Occasionally, someone could catch a glance at it, look at it with eye to eye, but ignore the expectation in its eyes, turn their heads and leave in a hurry.

Its fur had been drenched by the rain that had blown into the bridge hole, and it was a little cold, and it shivered unconsciously.

"Meow ......"

Not knowing what it was waiting for, it was forced to leave its mother's warm embrace and be alone in the wind and rain, the coldness of the rain penetrating the bone marrow.

Except for the warm embrace of its mother, it has nothing to be nostalgic for this world.

No longer straining its hoarse voice, it went back to the box, curled up on top of the old soaked clothes, and waited for the end of its life.

The rain seems to have stopped.

The wind blowing into the bridge hole also seemed to be blocked by something, bringing in her unfamiliar smell.

It struggled to open its eyes and saw the face of a girl with a smile on her lips as if relieved.

"Finally found it......"

The rain was still falling, but she and the big umbrella behind her blocked the wind and rain in front of it.

"Meow ......"

Qianxue squatted down, put her hands on her knees, and looked intently at the little white cat in front of her.

In order to find it, Qianxue's skirt and hair were wet from the rain, but with the most satisfied smile on her face, she stretched out her hands and gently picked up the little white cat, and the little white cat was also watching her, feeling her warm hands, and it quietly let her pick it up.

"Poor cat, it's raining so hard. ”

Qianxue gently stroked the little white cat and held it in her arms, trying to warm it with her own body heat.

It felt the sound of her heartbeat.

The heartbeat of the train rumbled, but it was cold. Her heartbeat was soft, but warm.

"Come home with me, you are my birthday present, and in the future you will be called Takeri, my name is Qianxue, please take care of me. ”

On that day, Takeri was carried home by Chiyuki and became her cat.

After the weakest days, Takeri's physical condition began to improve, and in a strange home, there was a familiar smell of her and her. Later, the strange home also became familiar, in addition to the smell of her, the smell of Liko, the smell of Takigawa, and it, the smell of bamboo.

......

"Takeri, come out quickly, don't always get into the corner!"

"Meow. ”

Hearing her call, Takeri ran out of the corner, and with a cockroach in his mouth, he proudly placed it at her feet.

"Ahh

"Takesato, I'm going to beat you! How dare you scare me with cockroaches!"

A man and a cat chased and played in the house, and Qianxue's joyful laughter was heard.

......

Qianxue studied very hard, and when she was doing her homework, Takeri quietly lay on the side and watched, but Qianxue would often look at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Takikawa hadn't come home from work yet.

"Takeri, you said that Dad's work is really so heavy. ”

Feeling her lost emotion, Takeri rubbed her palm affectionately.

But it didn't know how to make Qianxue happy, she didn't seem to like the little cockroach, but when she chased it, she was quite happy.

So Bamboo jumped off the table, and under Qianxue's puzzled gaze, Takeri got under her bed, and when she came out, she had a beautiful little sock in her mouth.

"My socks!

Qianxue put down the pen and chased it in the past, Takeri was dexterous, running from one end of the room to the other, Qianxue caught it for a long time, and she didn't catch it out of breath.

The feeling of loss gradually disappeared, and she seemed to be a little happier.

At eleven o'clock, Takikawa returned, and he gently opened the door of the house, and the light in the hall was still on.

"Haven't slept yet?"

"Hmm. ”

Riko got up from the couch and came over to help him take off his stiff suit.

"Has Qianxue already slept?"

"After playing with Takeri for a while, I fell asleep when I was tired. ”

"Alas. ”

Takikawa was a little tired, leaning back on the sofa and closing his eyes tiredly.

As if she knew what he was thinking, Lizi came over to gently massage his shoulders and smiled, "Don't blame you, Qianxue knows that you are busy, and she has never said anything." ”

"Now that Takeri is with her, she is actually quite happy, you didn't spend the last birthday with her, and she regarded Takeri as a birthday gift from you. ”

Takigawa smiled bitterly, "Did you take the cat for me?"

"It's time for you to take a break, you can't stay up like this. ”

"Can't stop......"

......

A year has passed, Takeri has become a big cat, it is already a member of the family, if you come back early from school, Qianxue likes to take it out to the river to watch the sunset.

"The sunset is so beautiful, Takeri. ”

Takeri followed Chiyuki's gaze, and on the other side of the river was the business district, and there was an office building in it, which was where Takigawa worked.

The sunset dyed the river red, and the river breeze blew, blowing the hair of Qianxue's face to the nose of the bamboo.

She is very young, and even the smell of her hair is vitality.

"Takeri, today is our birthday, Dad said he will come back tonight for his birthday!"

"Meow. ”

As the sun sets, Chiyuki runs home with Takeri in her arms, she wants to change into a new dress, new shoes and new socks, and wait for Takikawa to come back to celebrate her eighth birthday this year.

Riko prepares dinner in the kitchen with a large cake on the table.

Qianxue changed into a beautiful floral skirt and tied her hair in front of the mirror, but she couldn't tie it well, and she couldn't help but feel a little deflated.

Takeri also jumped onto the dresser and looked curiously at herself in the mirror and her in the mirror.

After looking at it for a while, it reached out and touched her in the mirror.

"Dasha cat, this is me in the mirror, how can you touch it. ”

Qianxue smiled, stretched out her hand to rub the big head in the bamboo, looked at it in the mirror, and said with a smile: "Look, so I can touch you in the mirror." ”

"Meow. ”

"I'll tie your hair. ”

Qianxue took two rubber bands, pinched a handful of white hairs behind the bamboo brain melon, and tied two cute pigtails on it.

Takesato looked curiously at his funny appearance in the mirror, he didn't like pigtails, so he wanted to scratch them with his claws, but he couldn't reach them.

"Big fool. ”

But Takikawa didn't come back as promised, and Qianxue, who was dressed beautifully, looked very lost, and she couldn't understand why her father was always so busy that he didn't even have time to spend her birthday with her.

"I know, dad is really hard......"

"Mom, let's eat later, I want to wait for Dad to come back. ”

"Good. ”

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Riko taught Chiyuki how to tie her hair again, and waited until the food was cold, and Chiyuki also learned how to tie her hair, but Takigawa still didn't come back.

Qianxue was a little sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa with Takeri in her arms.

Takeri looked at Qianxue, who frowned slightly, and its mood became depressed, quietly by her side.

After receiving a call from Liko, Takikawa felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, this cooperation, let's talk about it another day, I have something to lose, I'm sorry again!"

"Alas, you ......"

Takikawa didn't pay any attention to the customer, his thick Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he felt that his breathing was a little tight, so he pulled the tie knot of his shirt down hard, took his briefcase, took a taxi, and rushed home.

"You're back?" Chiyuki fell asleep on the couch. Riko helped him with the briefcase, and Takikawa's embarrassed appearance made her feel a little distressed.

Takigawa nodded, and was about to go over to wake up Chiyuki.

"Wait. ”

Riko came over and straightened Takikawa's messy hair and helped him tie it back up.

"Qianxue has always thought that Dad is a powerful person, so ......"

"I know. ”

Takikawa squatted down in front of the sofa, and Takeri woke up first, quietly looking at the returning Takikawa.

Takigawa stretched out his hand and stroked Qianxue's forehead, and called softly, "Qianxue, Qianxue." ”

"Dad, why did you come back?"

Qianxue woke up and threw herself into his arms excitedly.

This is the first birthday that Chiyuki and Takeri have spent together, Chiyuki is wearing a beautiful birthday hat, and Takeri also has a cute birthday hat on her head.

Takesato also received its first birthday present, a cute cat bowl, and Chiyuki's birthday gift was a delicate fountain pen.

The first time I ate cake, Takeri liked it very much, and his face was covered with cream, which made everyone happy.

"Qianxue, what wish did you make?"

"You can't say it, if you say it, it won't work!"

"Haha, Takeri, you eat slowly......"

Takeri is very happy today, because Takeri can feel it, and Chiyuki is also very happy.

......

During these days of high school, a lot of things happened to Chiyuki's family, and Takikawa, who had been working tirelessly, fell ill and had advanced liver cancer.

After Takigawa fell ill, the family had no financial resources, and Riko could only go out to pick up some odd jobs to subsidize the family, and in order to treat Takikawa, the family's savings had been spent.

Even so, it did not make Takikawa's condition any better.

Takikawa didn't want to drag the mother and daughter any longer, and under his strong demand, he was transferred from the hospital back to his home for conservative treatment.

The big man who was originally more than 1.7 meters old is now so thin that he has lost his shape, his face is pale, and his hair has all fallen out.

"Qianxue, don't cry, it's Dad who is wrong, Dad has been breaking his promise, and he has not been able to accompany you and Mom well......"

"No...... It's not like that......"

Qianxue lay beside his bedside, tears flowing, she would never have thought that the longest time her father had been with her was the last few months of his life.

Takeri sat quietly beside Qianxue, it is eight years old this year, and it has been with Qianxue for eight years, and it has never seen such a painful Qianxue like now.

Takesato carefully stuck out her tongue and licked Chiyuki's arm, she was now like a cracked porcelain doll that would shatter all at the touch of it.

It really wanted to help her, but it couldn't do anything other than touch Chiyuki.

"Meow ......"

Takigawa stretched out his hand and stroked Chiyuki's head as usual, Chiyuki worked hard and never had to worry about their studies, she had shoulder-length short hair, but now, it was all stuck to her face wet with tears.

"Qianxue, do you know, I'm grateful to have Takeri to accompany you for me. ”

"I didn't do my duty as a father......"

"The time we can spend together is precious, and I will never forget everything I did with you and Riko. ”

"Only what is really important can remain in the memory forever......"

Takeri looked at Takigawa, and Takikawa also looked at it.

"Takeri...... Please continue to take care of Chiyuki......"

"Meow ......"

......

After Takigawa's death, the grief-stricken Chiyuki didn't get up for two days in a row.

Chiyuki, who was hurt, wrapped herself firmly in the quilt like a big cat, and kept sleeping.

"Meow. ”

Takeri lay beside her, feeling her pain.

Qianxue was lying on the bed sideways, her eyes were half-open, but her eyes were numb and empty, and she reached out and hugged Zhuli gently.

"Takeri, I'm a mess now......"

"If I want to say that when I grow up, I should be stronger, but why can't I get out......

"Why is this happening......"

Chiyuki's pain and collapse, like a twisted rope, tightly grabbed Takesato's heart.

In the past six months, it hasn't seen Qianxue laugh, it hasn't teased it like when she was a child, and even it hid her socks, Qianxue didn't mention the slightest motivation, and the damage caused to her by Takikawa's death almost crushed her.

It knew that Chiyuki was kinder than anyone else, and more than anyone else longed for Takigawa to be healthy, and it really wanted to help her.

Life still has to go on, Riko takes on the burden of the family, she becomes as busy as Takigawa during the day, and returns home tired at night, and her heart is even more sour when she sees Chiyuki's collapsed appearance.

"Qianxue, have you forgotten what your father said. ”

"The time we can live together is precious, you open your eyes, life goes on, Takeri and I are waiting for you to get better. ”

Qianxue opened her eyes, Takeri was infected by her emotions, and she has become very silent these days, as long as Qianxue is lying down, Takeri will lie with her.

"Takesato ......"

"Meow ......"

Takeri curled up in front of her, rubbed his head against her face, and stuck out his tongue to help her lick away her tears.

"Bamboo is eight years old this year, the life span of a cat is only ten years, you are all of it, you are its really important person, its memory is only you, the time to live together is very precious, very precious......"

"It's desperately falling in love with you, how can you go on like this......"

"We are destined not to keep everything, but we can cherish the time we spend together......"

"So, cheer up, Chiyuki. ”

After Riko finished speaking, she sighed and left Chiyuki's room.

Qianxue was silent, she looked at the bamboo in front of her in a daze.

Yes, unconsciously, Takeri has been with her for eight years, from the age of seven to now, a full eight years, it is loving her with all its life, even if it can't do anything, but it still accompanies her with its short life......

Qianxue's eyes were red, and two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads, wetting the pillow.

"Meow ......"

Takeri tensed and rubbed his head against her face, tears wetting its hair.

"I'm sorry, ...... Takesato"

Qianxue hugged Takeri gently, she had her timeline, and Takeri had Takeri's timeline, and the time when these two lines intersected was only a short dozen years.

Rare time spent together......

......

Chiyuki slowly comes out of the grief of her father's death, much to Riko's relief.

She has been taking a leave of absence for half a year, and in order to give Chiyuki a new environment, Riko sells her old house and takes her to a new place and a new school.

With Takeri's company, Chiyuki gradually adapts to her new life.

It's just that her smile doesn't have as much as before, in the new school, Qianxue has no friends, she goes to and from school alone every day, and rarely socializes with her classmates.

Everyone felt strange about the new classmate's personality and was reluctant to approach her.

After Qianxue returned home, she would take Takeri to the nearby park to take a walk to see the sunset, she liked to watch the sunset since she was a child, and even the trees in the park were dyed red under the sunset.

The death of her father made Qianxue's personality also become introverted, she actually wanted to talk to her new classmates, but she was always afraid that they would ask about the family, which was like a scar, Qianxue carefully covered this scar, others couldn't see it, but this scar still existed.

Chiyuki is young and has beautiful hair, but except for Takeri, no one can find the scars under her beautiful appearance.

Takesa didn't know how to mend the scar in her heart.

Chiyuki sat on a stone bench in the park with Takeri in her arms, and the setting sun set on Takesato's body, dyeing her white fur red.

The sunset was warm, like her embrace.

Takeri likes the smell of her, even if she moves and changes to an unfamiliar environment, but as long as she is there, it is like the rainy day eight years ago, the gust of wind that blows into the bridge hole mixed with the smell of her body, is a memory that Takeri will never forget in her life.

"Takeri, do you remember when you first came to our house?"

She looked down and looked into Takeri's eyes.

Bamboo's eyes are very beautiful, and they seem to hide stars in them, as if they are hiding a lot of thoughts.

"Meow. ”

"It was raining so hard that day......"

Takeri doesn't understand her language, but that doesn't stop her from thinking the same thing as it.

It still remembers her laughter.

And gently hold it gently.

The smell of rain, the roar of the train, the dark clouds drifting in the sky, and the first unfamiliar smell on her body are the most precious memories of bamboo.

"I'm really lucky to have met you. ”

Time is quiet, Takeri likes to watch the sunset with her, it is no longer as naughty as when it was young, but now it stretches out its little paws and gently strokes Qianxue's hair hanging down......

Not far away, two girls were playing badminton, and a mistake caused the shuttlecock to fall on a tree.

"What can I do about this......

Matsutsuki looked around, wanting to ask for help, but happened to see Chiyuki who was about to go home, hugging Takeshiki.

Songyue nodded and said hello to Qianxue, who also returned the salute.

It's just that Songyue doesn't talk much, and everyone is reluctant to approach this new classmate, thinking that she doesn't speak, which is very strange.

"Did your shuttlecock fall on it?" Qianxue had already seen it when she walked over just now.

"Mm-hmm, I don't know what to do now. Songyue said helplessly.

"I think I should be able to help you. ”

"Huh?"

Chiyuki came to the tree with Takeri in her arms, and soon found a shuttlecock stuck in the branch.

Songyue also noticed the cat in her arms, and couldn't help but admire: "Your cat is so cute, what's its name?"

"Takeri. ”

"Takeri can help us take down the shuttlecock, it's incredible. ”

"It should work. ”

Qianxue smiled and touched Zhuli's head, pointed to the shuttlecock on the tree, and said softly, "Bamboo, help take the shuttlecock down." ”

The tree, which was more than three meters high, was not difficult for Zhuli, and it quickly climbed to the tree, and gently touched the shuttlecock stuck in the tree with its paws, and the shuttlecock fell under the force.

"Wow...... Takeri, this is also amazing!"

Matsutsuki was surprised, and after Takeri finished taking the badminton, he jumped back into Chiyuki's arms.

"What a smart and cute cat, can I pet it?"

"Hmmm......"

"Qianxue, let's play badminton with us. ”

"Huh, tomorrow......"

"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you here tomorrow!"

......

Qianxue never expected that with the help of Takesato, she made her first new friend, which made Qianxue, who had been a little dull recently, gradually become cheerful again.

Her relationship with Songyue became closer and closer, and Songyue also secretly asked her out at night, and the two hugged Zhuli and went to her secret treasure to see the starry sky together.

"It's so beautiful......"

Qianxue and Takeri looked up at the starry sky, countless stars sprinkled all over the vast night sky, silver-white moonlight accompanied by starlight, in this quiet night, with a trace of warmth in the cold, under this silent starry sky, it seemed that thoughts also sank together.

"I have heard that when a person dies, he does not disappear, but he becomes a free star, shining brightly, guarding the people he loves. ”

Qianxue's eyes were red, and two lines of tears slid down, looking a little crystal under the starlight.

"Well, I believe it! Dad must be watching over me and Mom, he can see it!"

"Meow. ”

"Songyue, am I so ugly now?"

"You're better than the stars!"

"Qianxue, look! It's a shooting star! Make a wish, make a wish!"

When everyone closed their eyes and made a wish, Takeri opened his eyes and looked at the light.

If you can put this meteor in your eyes, Qianxue's wish will come true.

......

Chiyuki's life gradually got back on track, she became lively and cheerful again, and during college, while playing with Takeri in the park, she met a gentle boy named Akimoto.

When the two first met and fell in love, Bamboo was like a spice in the relationship between the two, making this first love a little sweet and long, for four years, even Qianxue thought it would continue like this.

It's just that when I graduated, bad news came from my feelings, and Akimoto was leaving here to live abroad.

Feelings are at an impasse.

The pace of time does not stop because of the emotional deadlock, Qianxue is about to graduate, and the pressure of finding a job and the emotional pressure are backlogged towards her at the same time, making her a little breathless.

Matsuki is also about to start looking for a job, for convenience, Matsuki and Qianxue proposed a way to share a house, and after the two discussed, they moved out of school and found a house to share together.

In the current employment environment, it is extremely difficult to find a job, and Matsutsuki finally found a suitable job with the help of relatives, but it is too far away from the place where the two of them share a house.

"I'm sorry, Chiyuki...... I mentioned the shared apartment, but now I regret it again, I'm really sorry!" Matsuki kept apologizing to Chiyuki.

Qianxue smiled indifferently, in order not to let Songyue have a psychological burden, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just go find a house to rent by myself, Songyue, you can find a job, I'm really happy for you!"

"Alas, it's all my fault, Qianxue, I wish you can find a job soon. ”

"Hmm. ”

Qianxue's mood was not high, holding Takeri in her arms and gently stroking its hair.

Bamboo is already very old, its sleep is longer and heavier than before, and its previously shiny hair has now become dull, as if it has lost its vitality, only its eyes are still so clear.

Faced with Matsuki, who was sharing a house together, was leaving, Takeri didn't have the slightest wave in his heart, and he only had Qianxue in his eyes.

Takesato curled up in Chiyuki's arms, surrounded by her scent, and it only worries about what happens to Chiyuki next.

After Matsutsuki left, Qianxue continued to submit resumes for interviews while looking for a new house, but the blows came one after another, the interviews failed again and again, and the house was not found yet, and the last straw that broke the camel's back was Akimoto's departure.

In the early morning of that morning, Akimoto pulled his suitcase and came over to break up with Chiyuki.

The successive blows of life made Qianxue very confused, her chest was tight, and she was about to lose her breath.

Winter is coming.

Qianxue finally found a new place to live, and she worked odd jobs to make ends meet while interviewing.

She came home late, sometimes even working two or three odd jobs a day.

Takeri herself was left in the rental room, it lay on Qianxue's bed, she was not at home, lying on her quilt, surrounded by her scent, Takeri felt like she was holding it.

It slept longer, and the darkness of the winter night was long, long ago, and it waited for her in the darkness for a long time.

Takeri doesn't know how long she can live, but in her current state, she can't feel at ease.

Many times, while sleeping in the dark, Takeri felt as if her soul was wafting out, and surrounded by her scent, Takezato dreamed that she was back under the bridge cave more than ten years ago, waiting for her to come to it with an umbrella as she is waiting for her to come back now.

Time is too long, and only what is really important can remain in the memory forever.

For it, Qianxue is the whole of life.

The bits and pieces of her relationship, all the things she did with her, including the little girl in the mirror on her first birthday, the sunset she watched with her, and everything she said to it......

No one knows Qianxue's efforts better than it, no matter how busy she is late, no matter how she collapses at night, the next morning, she still cheers up to interview and accept such a life.

Chiyuki desperately wants to fall in love with this world, Takeri knows.

After waiting for a long time, the door to the room opened.

She smelled of snow, distant and unfamiliar streets, and tired eyes.

The lights came on, and Takeri was already in front of her.

Chiyuki bent down and gently touched Takeri's head.

"Takeri, I'm back. ”

"Meow ......"

Qianxue lay down on the bed, and the lights in the room went out again.

After a long phone call, she cried, by Takesa's side, for a long, long time......

In the darkness, she put one arm to her forehead, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

"Who's going to help me......"

Her pain and confusion, like Takigawa's death seven years ago, tugged at Takeri's heart.

Takeri wants to jump to her and spend time with her, just like she did when she was younger.

But it was sad to find that it could no longer touch her.

However, the bed was dozens of centimeters high, and it stretched out its claws with great effort, but there was no way to climb to her side......

Winter continues.

On this day, Qianxue didn't go to the interview or do odd jobs, she set aside a day to accompany Zhuli.

Qianxue took it out for a walk, and the sunlight fell on her body and on Zhuli's body......

"I'm sorry, Takeri, I haven't been with you well during this time. ”

"Meow ......"

Zhuli was held by her, and the wind outside was still very cold, but in her arms, Zhuli felt very warm, and after the sun shone on her body, the haze of the past few days had dissipated a lot.

The smell of cake wafts through the air.

Takeri remembered that the first time he had a birthday with Chiyuki, the cake at that time was also the same taste.

"Meow. ”

"Would you like cake?"

......

Chiyuki finally found her job as an apprentice in a cake shop, she has had the desire to open a cake shop since she was a child, and she also knows that being an apprentice is tiring, but she seems to have no choice.

She cherishes this hard-won job, and always leaves early in the morning every day, the first to open the store, and the last to leave at night.

Although the days are hard, Qianxue has lived a very down-to-earth life.

Takenato is happier than anyone else that Chiyuki has found a job, and she no longer brings back the unfamiliar smell from the distant streets, but the sweet smell of the cake shop.

Bamboo still waited for Chiyuki's return in the rental house for a long time, struggling to climb onto the windowsill and look at the street below through the glass, waiting for the figure to appear.

It's just that it often gets sleepy, and after waiting for a while, it falls asleep by the windowsill, and the temperature by the windowsill is a little cold, and the bamboo curls up, but soon wakes up again, and stubbornly opens its eyes, waiting for her to come back.

It could feel that it might not have much time to spend with Qianxue.

"Manager, I—May I make a request to you?"

"It's okay, just say it. ”

"I want to bring Takeri to the store, you know, Takeri is old, and it's in a rental house by itself, so I can't rest assured that ......"

"It's a small thing, bring it here. ”

"Thank you very much, manager!"

Being able to bring Takeri to work with him is the happiest thing Takesa and Chiyuki have ever done since this winter.

Takeri doesn't have to wait for Qianxue in the long darkness, it can be by Chiyuki's side, and in the few lives it has left, watch her make cakes, smell the sweet fragrance on her body, listen to her being praised by the store manager, and feel the joy in her heart......

This made Takeri feel at ease, no longer like when she was in the rental house, when she fell asleep, she would suddenly wake up and open her eyes to see if she came back.

That night, Qianxue stayed to learn how to decorate flowers as usual, but during the day the shop was busy, and the rental room had no equipment, so if she wanted to learn the craft, she had to wait until there were no customers at night, so she could find time to practice.

"Meow. ”

Takeri walked out from behind the counter and sat next to Chiyuki, quietly watching her practice.

"Takeri, did I wake you up, you continue to rest for a while, I'll practice for two more hours, and we'll go home. ”

"Meow. ”

Takeri doesn't care if it's in the rental house or the store, as long as she's there, Takenato is at ease.

Her smile was as sweet as the smell on hers.

It was already late at night, there were snowflakes floating outside the window, and the heating in the house had been turned on, but Takeri still felt a little cold, so he rolled up his tail, wrapped himself, and quietly accompanied Qianxue to practice in this winter night.

Its eyelids were a little heavy, and in a daze, it saw Qianxue fall.

The piping tool in her hand shattered the white flower that had been framed......

After a long period of fatigue and huge mental pressure, Qianxue couldn't support it anymore, she lay on the ground, her eyes were half-open, and she saw Takeri running anxiously and arching her with her head, trying to wake her up......

"Meow-"

"Meow-"

......

It's just that its voice seems to float farther and farther, and Qianxue's consciousness is shrouded in darkness, and finally it only stays on Zhuli's body, that touch of whiteness......

The heavy snow outside the window is still falling, Qianxue's condition tightly grips Takeri's heart, it knows that Qianxue works harder than anyone else, and it also knows that Qianxue's wish is actually very simple, and its wish is also very simple, it just wants to accompany Qianxue and see her live happily.

But this snow has covered it all up.

Unwilling, Takeri climbed onto the counter, which looked like a mountain to it, and it opened the microphone and pressed the speed dial key......

"Toot-"

"Toot-"

"Is it Chiyuki?"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Meow ......"

"What the hell is going on?

"Meow ......"

Takeri directly dialed the telephone to the ground......

"Qianxue, are you okay? you wait for me, I'll come over now!"

"Toot-"

Takenato had done his best, and it struggled to climb down from the counter again, and forced itself to Chiyuki's side, snuggled into her arms, and waited quietly with her......

The snow was still falling outside the window, and Takezato didn't know how long it would last, and he felt his body getting cold.

It stuck out its tongue and gently licked Chiyuki's cheek, its blue eyes, and looked at her for a long time......

Until the store manager came running and opened the door.

Its eyes slowly closed.

Some reluctant......

But, I was relieved......

She'll be fine because the snow has stopped.

......

This is the room where she lives with it.

Chiyuki lay down in the place where the bamboo usually slept, and she curled up, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the position.

She pressed her face to it, buried her head in the middle, and she sniffed and felt its scent like in a bamboo.

Tears slipped.

It's just that Takeri's timeline can no longer intersect with her, but the world is still rotating, there is reincarnation under the starry sky, the next time I meet you, can I still remember your taste......

Takeri feels that her life is full of happiness, and she loves Chiyuki, and Chiyuki loves it.

......

It searched.

Many things have been forgotten, but her taste has been remembered tightly.

It's been three years, and Chiyuki has opened a cake shop with her mother, and she has worked hard to fall in love with the world, and the world has gradually become gentle with her.

There was a photo of her and Takesato on the counter, and Chiyuki gently stroked the photo.

"It's been three years, Takeri, thank you for your long-term companionship, and life is slowly getting better. ”

Chiyuki will not forget the time she spent living with Takesato.

Her gaze was gentle, and outside the door was the red glow of the sky, and there was a small cat.

"Takesato ......"

Searching for her taste, it came to her shop.

"Meow-"

First time we met, I'm your cat, please take care of me for the rest of my life.

......

(This is the end of the story of "You Under the Stars", when I was filming before, many plots were written in detail, and I didn't repeat it here, it may seem a little incoherent, interested students can go to the front to revisit it, the pen power is limited, I hope you can gain touch, inspired by "She and Her Cat", it's tiring to write a small theater...... ）
