Chapter 20: She and Him and Their Intertwined Youth 1
When I came out of the restaurant, it was past nine o'clock, and the night was already dark, but it did not affect the flow of people and the bustle of the shopping mall, and the endless flow of people and brightly lit shops, the arrival of night added a black background to them, and also changed an alternative atmosphere.

I walked under the snow on the pedestrian street dyed in color by the lights, and we seemed out of place in relation to the noisy surroundings because of the silence. The shadows of the two people only reflect the silhouette of one person, because they are side by side.
For a long time, I broke this distorted atmosphere before my brain was filled with questions
[Today... You're weird...]
The calm reply, without a ripple, passed my ears and was buried in the cacophony as if it didn't exist.
[.... Can I ask... Why?]
[Yes.] ]
[..... Why?]
After hesitating for a few seconds, I still asked, everything today is beyond my cognition, it can also be said that it is the other side of her, everything is beyond my expectations, of course, it is not a bad aspect, it is not unacceptable, just out of a kind of discovery of the unknown... Curious and exclamation.
[Walk this way.]
Instead of answering my question at once, the snow suddenly took me by the hand and led me to another road away from the busy streets, which would pass through the park.
Through the lively crowd and streets, the noise along the way gradually disappeared, when I walked to the center of the park, I had fallen into a silence with only the sound of summer insects, and the sound of nature was very pleasant at this moment, and the mood of some impatience to know the answer was also well buffered, and the lights on both sides of the road faithfully guided the way for us, because it was very late, there were no visitors in the park, and occasionally there were one or two figures hurrying by, just passers-by.
Under the snow, I came to a chair in the central square and sat down [ha...] He sighed softly and motioned for me to sit down with his eyes.
Sitting side by side, the breeze with the smell of grass blew through my face, mixed with some faint fragrance, which was brought from her, a slight collision, a little head rested on my shoulder, hair also slid over my arm, soft and spiritual, the fragrance of shampoo also came to my nose, made my heart beat a little faster and refreshed at the same time.
[Okay, what do you want to know?]
I straightened my body a bit, tried to do my pillow duty, and sorted out my thoughts[.... All want to know... First of all please tell me why you are in the mall...]
[Last night... My sister called me..]
[Oh...] Is that Yang Nai again.. Why is there her in everything?
[She told me the time and place that Hayama agreed with you today...]
[So you're here.] No, the time I met you was around six o'clock in the afternoon, I know the time in the morning, why is it in the afternoon....]
I moved my head up under the snow to find a more comfortable position, the top of my head touched my cheek gently, and the cold hair covered my somewhat hot face.
[No... Actually, I was there before you... It's just that you don't know...]
[Huh, you mean morning.] No, that afternoon...]
[Of course, it's a follow-up route]
..... The path follows, is it understandable as tracking... There's really you.... I'm sorry that you've been running with us for more than half a dozen hours... An undetectable chill slowly crept up all over the vest... I underestimated her perseverance, and I was able to ignore her physical deficiencies...
[..... Then why did you choose to appear at that time..]
[I said so, but I'm just curious.] ]
[I don't think it's a very reliable answer..] Curious... If that's the case, then I should be most curious when I go to the movies with Hayama, but I'm curious about why I was able to watch a movie with him without incident, and it was so far away...
[Last question...] Today... At dinner... That..] Suddenly, my words became choppy, and although I knew exactly what I wanted to say, I couldn't express it smoothly, and I was blocked by an invisible pressure in my throat [Also, why are you so clear about Sasaki's affairs.]
[Hachiman-kun, you have two questions.] ]
Raising her head under the snow, she combed her hair a little and scattered Liuhai, and the dim light gently scattered around her, depicting a beautiful figure, a little hazy, but also mysterious, with a looming smile, looking at me with moonlight-like gentle eyes [answer the second one first.]
[....] I was silent, waiting for her answer in a somewhat shy mood, and I couldn't help but shake every time I saw her like this. Probably that's the only thing I can praise at the moment.
[Misai Sasaki... Her sister and sister are from the same university, and it should be... Her father muted a real estate development company, had some business dealings with my father, got closer, and would be invited to some evening parties and so on..]
[So you recognized her when you saw her, but she didn't recognize you, and she introduced yourself... But I'm still curious why you know so much..]
[That's because... I called my sister and asked...]
[Then did your sister get this information from her sister before telling you..]
[Eh, because Sasaki's sister has a good relationship with her, there are no secrets between them, and it's different from us.]
Speaking of this, the expression under the snow became a little sad, but it instantly returned to its original state, and he shook his head gently... Don't worry, you've improved a lot now... At least you can make a normal phone call, which is shocking for you to hang up unilaterally without saying more than two sentences before.
[No... I think she should feel very sad that she was betrayed by the people closest to her...] Why did Yono know this... Probably because she is very close to Sasaki's sister, it is possible to belong to the level of close friends or even best friends... But I'm really scared, if that's the case, that Yang Nai will have such a friend? Incredible, right? Of course, it can't be ruled out that he was deceived... If you think about it carefully, it will be more likely to be cheated, after all, it is Yangnai.
[Ahh As you can imagine...] I leaned back a little and stretched my somewhat stiff body [so..]
Before I finished speaking, I took over the topic under the snow and continued to talk about [Today, I am really angry.]
Wrath... She's talking about anger, not anger, anger and irritation... The heart instantly became heavy, the rhythm of breathing began to be chaotic, and the mood appeared an inexplicable irritability and restlessness.
[Hachiman, have you ever been angry about today's situation?]
[.... No, because if you get used to it, you will avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and if you get angry, it will only increase the unnecessary psychological burden..]
[yes...] It used to be the same thought... Being ignored will save you a lot of trouble..] There is a sigh under the snow, indeed, all kinds of exclusions and pranks that have been subjected to because they are too eye-catching, and of course they will have this idea after spending that time very hard....
[However, that was only before today.] She turned her head and looked at me very seriously, in those beautiful big eyes, sadness and tender feelings kept alternating, and I was overwhelmed by this contradictory change of atmosphere, and I could only stare into her eyes in anticipation without saying a word
[Hachiman... All your processes today... I've seen it all, it's clear... See...] Suddenly, under the snow, she opened her hands and just hugged me, holding her neck, her chin resting on my shoulder, and fell silent... I trembled my hands... Why, in the end, it still turned into sadness? hesitating and painful, gently put it on her back, hugged her weak body... My hands trembled slightly...
After a long time, the sound under the snow finally came to my ears again, and it was a question with confidence
[Hachiman... If it's me... Are you going to be angry?]
[Ah~will...]
The answer in my heart was deeply engraved in my mind when she said the first word, and I couldn't wait to pick it up as the words fell. I will also be angry and angry, I am no longer a person who only grieves and avoids, because, this is not the past, but the present.
She slowly got up, looked up, and the smile reappeared on her face, but the faint tears left under her eyes ruined the beautiful atmosphere... The stinging in my heart became more and more obvious, and this was the result of my fault, because I was cowardly. Shaking her head like a self-deprecating one, do you have to remind me of her sadness and tears every time?
A pair of warm and soft little hands gently stroked my cheeks, the warm temperature woke me up from the contemplation of self-blame, facing the still beautiful face under the snow, slowly approaching, slowly covering the light brought by the light, until the shadows of the two were glued together, feeling the delicate, moist, elastic lip flap contact, the fragrance spread all over the nasal cavity, I sat quietly, there was no movement, just.... That's all it feels like.
After a long time, after slowly recovering everything, the soft whisper under the snow came to my ears with a heart-warming mischievous tone:
[Thank you... Hachiman-kun, your shortcomings still make me feel helpless.]
