Chapter 24 (23)

Chapter 24 So, what is lurking beneath loneliness?

Wouldn't a slightly chilly climate be more suitable for waiting than a sunny day? Well, that's what I'm thinking about in my head at the moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yesterday Mike promised to go out shopping, and the scheduled location was at the fountain in front of the park square, at two o'clock in the afternoon. By the way, it's 1:58 and I've been standing here for nearly five minutes, but I still haven't been able to see Mike.

This semester is coming to an end.,Winter vacation in another month.,And then there's the New Year's visit.,The temperature is also starting to keep up with winter.,The wind blowing up has crossed the cool scale to reach the cold realm.,Hawkers,Originally, this side was facing the sea, so compared to other places,The winter in Chiba will be colder.。

There are not as many people who come to the park as there were last month, because people are creatures who are afraid of cold, and if it's hot, you can eat ice cream and cold drinks. But when it's cold, it becomes inseparable from the kotatsu. But fortunately, today's weather is not that unbearable, as a warm coat is enough, and it is good that you have to rely on a scarf to block the cold wind... But then again, isn't Mike a little slow? Five minutes ahead is common sense... So, does this guy have to be ten minutes early?

The second hand of the clock next to me had already crossed two o'clock and began to set off towards two o'clock, I straightened my neck and looked around, but I still didn't see any noteworthy changes, okay... This guy is late, and as the inviting party is still late.

Aha... Now I know a little bit about how I felt under the snow... A minute ago, I thought "I just need to wait a few dozen more seconds", but when the time comes, it becomes "when will it be there".

He sighed lifelessly and took out his phone to confirm. Two points and two points.

Give us a call... Thinking so, he pulled up Mike's number from his phone and called. Then came the beep after the connection.... Beep, but pick it up, bastard! First of all, I'm going to go back if I don't answer the phone, after all, it's not my breach of contract.

The phone rang again for about 7 or 8 minutes, and it was finally connected. Damn, it's just a little bit.

[Two o'clock has passed...]

As soon as I connected the phone, I didn't care about any greetings and confirmations, and directly reported the time in a very unmotivated tone.

[Where are you?]

[Café at the exit of the park.]

[Ha???]

[Hahaha, sorry, I'm also sitting down and preparing to call you.]

Mike said this with a smile, but because he laughed earlier, he didn't feel sincere at all when he apologized...

[It's so cold, how about a cup of coffee first?]

[.... Went back. ]

Ahh Thinking so, I'm ready to hang up the phone.

[By the way, tell me how to deal with what happened next.]

The moment the phone left my ear, I stopped moving again after hearing this sentence and maintained the same posture as before

[What do you mean?]

[Because there are many people at school, it's hard to say something.] ]

[..... All right. ]

It's hard to talk about it in school... Is that the reason? It's not a serious thing, but I accept it. After tidying up the placket of his coat, he sighed in his heart and walked quickly.

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

The inside of the café is filled with a warm atmosphere, and the outside seems to exist in two different time periods.

Mike, dressed in a dark green tracksuit, was slowly sipping his coffee across from me, and judging by the heat coming out of the coffee cup, it seemed that he was very warm, right? Unlike me, who had just come in, he was always warm.

Slowly holding the coffee cup and gently placing it on the coaster, making a crisp ceramic collision sound, Mike's eyes turned back from the window, looked at me and said with a smile

[Aren't you going to have a drink?] ]

[No.... Kebi Kabu, add four pieces of sugar, thank you. ]

I wanted to say no, but then I thought about it and a drink, maybe it would be a little warmer. After the waiter left, Mike sat up straight and looked at me face to face

[What you say.] What's the hard thing to say?]

I'm going to get straight to the point, and I don't want to make any more rounds.

[It's just something you don't want to say in front of other people]

[Then why can't I?]

I frowned at the special treatment, this is not good news...

Mike's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were the same, looking at me as if admiringly

[Because in some ways, you and I are the same kind of people.] The so-called speechless clustering. ]

[.... Should I be happy or should I be upset... But I don't think so. ]

[It's up to you.] ]

Mike pursed his lips, lifted his coffee and took a sip, his eyes turned to the window, at this time, the waiter also lifted my share, the thick liquid exuded an ominous sweetness, just smelling it felt very sweet... Is there too much sugar... Carefully lifted it and tried it with my lips.. Not.. It's OK.

As I put down my glass, Mike looked intently out the window and spoke slowly as if he were telling a story

[What if... I'm hated by other people, and those people can point at me in the face and insult me, or beat me up in front of everyone, or slander me to my face, insult me or frame me, but ah... I would never allow these things to happen behind my back. ]

[.... What the hell do you mean?]

[Didn't you make it clear?]

Mike turned his head with an almost gentle smile, but the coldness was even better, and there was an oozing gaze in his eyes, staring at the coffee cup in his hand as if he were staring at some prey

[I mean, as long as you have the ability, you can do anything in front of me, but I hate the kind of people who specialize in doing small things behind my back.] Got it? Whether it's me or someone I know, if someone has the ability, they can scold others and me stupidly in front of me, but they are never allowed to say that they are stupid behind my back... That should make sense, right?]

Ahh I completely understand.,It's the kind of thing that comes clearly and doesn't do it in private.。。。 It's really an honest character, Mike, but I'm sorry, there are often very few things in this world that are on the surface, and more things that are not visible.

[So, what are you going to do?]

When I asked, Mike's eyes turned and smiled softly, if it wasn't mixed with emotion, it would be a perfect smile, but that cold aura floated out of the whole person, and I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine

[Iwillsay:Iwilllookforyou,Iwillfoundyouand,Iwillhuntyou.] (I would say: I will go looking for you, I will find you also, I will hunt you.) )
