Chapter 24—What is the Hidden Thing Beneath Loneliness?

Monday, a word that makes people feel dreadful, and the thought of having six days to enjoy from today and a short day off makes it impossible to get motivated... I've been wondering why I don't work on Sundays instead of Monday to Saturday? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But if that's the case, the world will be in chaos, so it's just a matter of thinking.

Because it was already more than half of November, I woke up in the morning and clearly felt the temperature difference between autumn and winter, thanks to which I had to change into long-sleeved clothes, but if I was in an apartment, I could still wear short-sleeved, after all, the heating supply has always been there, even in the hottest summer has not stopped, this is worth sighing - it is really a high-end apartment.

At six o'clock, I and the snow have come to the tram stop near the apartment, each ready to go, maybe it is related to her physique, the equipment on her body in addition to a set of white late autumn dress, even with a pink scarf around her neck, and the feet have also changed into black boots, it is simply not leaky, under the snow, just to see it already feels very warm, but too warm will become hot... It's a contradiction... So the question is, won't Miss Under the Snow feel the heat now?

[..... I said, Yukino, don't you feel the heat?]

I whispered to the snow standing next to my shoulder, realizing that the temperature coming from the part I was touching was higher than my body temperature, and I was a little worried about the snow if the weather warmed up later.

So, under the snow, he raised his head and remained calm as usual

[No.] For the first few days, I had to rely on air conditioning to get through smoothly. ]

[Not a few days ago, but now...]

Hm.. It seemed that she was still in Tokyo a few days ago, and the weather in Tokyo did seem to be hotter than here.

There was a slight flute under the snow, and he turned his head and quickly checked himself, and then he continued to look at me with his head tilted upwards

[I don't think it now, I think it's just right.] What's wrong?]

[Ahh

That's right, that's right, since you already think so, don't care what others think, after all, there are still individual differences, some people can swim in the river at 0 degrees and sweat profusely, and some people just look at it and feel cold and shivering, this situation is quite common.

Also, how to say to a girl, "I think you're wearing a lot of clothes, can you wear a lot?" and not be taken as a ******.

[Does Hachiman-kun think it's going to be hot?]

[Hawkers, it's not counted... It's going to heat up at noon. ]

Such a season should be regarded as the kind of morning and evening colder, noon and afternoon hotter. But I don't think there's a problem, after all, it's going to the company and not shopping.

[Ah, don't worry about that.] ]

Under the snow took my words with a gentle smile, and then moved a little, and then I felt a sudden loosening of my shoulder, and something cold, delicate, and lubricated grabbed my hand.

[You see, like this.]

As she spoke, she took my hand and shook it in front of her eyes. So, not at all? I still feel the need to bring a pair of gloves, Miss Snow?

However, gently pinching, it is also very comfortable to be cool, like jelly, slippery and soft.

[Hachiman-kun.]

[yes!]

Just as I was immersed in this comforting world, I suddenly heard a shout under the snow, and I reached back as if I had been electrocuted, and responded loudly, and by the way, it also changed to a standard upright posture

[Sorry.] ]

Seeing me look so embarrassed, Xue Xia chuckled a few times, tilted his head and smiled at me, and said with a little surprise

[Although I would like to say that there is no need to apologize so seriously... But the train is coming. ]

[....]

As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger under the snow and pointed ahead, and as he looked, the tram I was waiting for had already entered the deceleration phase, and it was only a dozen seconds before it arrived at the station.

[Don't you think it's a pity?]

With a slightly evil smile, the corners of the snow's mouth rose up and asked

[Eh? no... I don't know what you're talking about...]

I glanced to the other side in some embarrassment, and felt my cheeks heat slightly under the bags under my eyes. So far, I can only try to fool the past with vague answers.

[Is it.] Let me start by asking, what time do you get out of school in the afternoon?]

[e.g.、If you don't count club activities...] It's six twenty..]

[In that case, that's perfectly fine.] ]

[What?]

I cautiously turned my head, only to see that the snow was nodding and saying this, and when I noticed my gaze, I glanced at it and smiled gently

[In the afternoon, I will finish my internship around 4 o'clock, so I can continue at that time.] So stay in school honestly, you know?]

[Huh?]

Go on... What's going on with the phrase "the internship ends around four o'clock"... Which company will let employees leave work around 4 o'clock? But then again, it's still the phrase "it's okay to continue when the time comes".

It's not good, I don't want to go to class at all now, what should I do?!

But the train doesn't change lanes and travel times because of the change of mind, and while I'm still thinking about it, it's already starting to whine, it's the sound before departure.

[Alright, let's go.]

Urged by the snow, I reluctantly boarded the tram, grabbed the handrail and turned to look at her, standing there smiling and shaking at me.

Ha.... I sighed again and tried to smile in response, and then, with a slight vibration, the tram slowly departed until the figure under the snow disappeared from view, and I found a random place to sit down.... Ahh

--------------------------------------

[Whew...]

In the bedroom with only a little morning light, I don't know how many times I sighed like this, maybe I was laughing at my own incompetence, maybe it was just out of helplessness.

Sitting on the bed with his hands on his knees, his eyes glazed over the bag at his feet, but he didn't know if he could have the confidence to pick it up and walk out of the room.

What am I still hesitating about... It's been decided.. I didn't want to go back there, so I waited until the next time my mother called, and it was all over. Hope next time, I can stay a little longer.

But....

The phone rang, the light on the screen suddenly obscured my vision, I took the phone, and when I saw the caller ID on it, I was stunned for a while, and finally I couldn't help but connect the phone with my finger and slowly put it to my ear

[Hey?]

[...]

Sure enough, it's him...

[Liu-san, the train is almost here, are you on the platform?]

His unmotivated but cautious tone came from the other end of the line.

[No..]

[Huh?]

A short, surprised cry, strange as ever, but completely different from me, that person. That's why I hesitated. After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied

[Two minutes...]

[Oh oh... That's.. Excuse me.]

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry, maybe because it was inconvenient to call on the train in Japan.

I shook my head, pulled myself together, and chuckled

[Let's go..]

I said to myself, took the headphones from the pillow, took the schoolbag and walked out of the bedroom.

Hopefully, this time, everything will be different.
