Time is measured in endless minutes and seconds, which is converted into human day and night. The day is for life, and the night is for yourself, and it can be seen that time has always been fair and considerate.

Xiao Yi heard Jiang Shui's voice again, it was three days later, the interview went smoothly, and the admission notice was inevitable. In the past few days in Tokyo, he really realized that he has always overestimated himself, nine years of companionship and habits, not to say that he can let go, every moment of leisure, he is always concerned about the river and his family, for a moment, he really thinks that he has to compromise, in fact, Japan is also a good choice, at least this soil has nurtured himself for 17 years, maybe he has already formed a deep bloodline.

There is a faint sound of Grieg's soothing piano music in the room, which is one of the more famous "Nocturnes", and legend has it that melancholy people will be even more melancholy when they listen to it, and their mother, who is happy for Xiao Yi's smooth return, follows the nocturne up the stairs.

"Jiang Shui, look at what good things my brother brought you, it's a sea urchin, do you remember when you were a child, you always liked to grab your brother's share..."Mom held the box with the purple Tokyo Ginza inscription on it, and gently knocked on the door to tempt the little gluttonous cat.

However, there seemed to be no movement in the room, except for the still-undulating music and the orange light peeking through the crack in the door. This is not common sense, she decisively twisted the doorknob, the orange glass lamp hung alone overhead, and the goose-yellow curtains were dancing gracefully in the night wind, where did this child go?

All night, the family waited in the living room for Jiang Shui to come back alone, and the planned dinner had to be turned into a supper, and in the end, it was not even a supper.

Just when Xiao Yi was about to go to school to look for her, Jiang Shui came back, and outside the glass door, she was shaking off the water droplets on the pink and purple umbrella and changing her shoes under the porch.

Xiao Yi hurriedly pushed open the door, smiled at her and said, "Come, give me the schoolbag!"

Jiang Shui ignored his concern in a high-profile manner, ignoring it, this time, she pretended to be very different, obviously much more serious. Xiao Yi's hand hung in the air, and it wasn't until she had entered the house for several seconds that she realized what was going on, so she had to close the door uncertainly.

"I ate and went upstairs to rest. Jiang Shui turned her back to her parents on the sofa, holding on to the handrail of the revolving wooden ladder, her voice was like the sound of rain outside the window, dripping and indistinct, but it was still in her ears. Xiao Yi raised her eyes and looked, under the milky white halo, her slender legs were even thinner than before.

I haven't seen her for three days, why, she has lost so much and changed so much?

Still like before, at the request of his parents, Xiao Yi was responsible for talking to Jiang Shui. This time, it was him knocking on her door.

"Come in. ”

He quickly pushed open the door, and under the lamp, Jiang Shui was curled up in a chair reading comics, goose-yellow curtains floating in the wind beside her, and her fine black hair was also curled.

"What's wrong?" she turned her face away and looked at him fixedly, her eyes like blue-black water, probably because the light was too dark.

"Where have you been today?" his voice trembled a little, after all, talking like this and indifferent Jiang Shui made Xiao Yi feel very unnatural.

"I went to a friend's house. ”

"Girls?"

"Why do you ask so much?"

"Smack!" Jiang Shui closed the cartoon unhappily and turned to lean on the bunny pillow at the head of the bed.

"It's nothing, I just think you seem to be a little wrong today, is there something bothering me? Tell me, okay?" Xiao Yi clenched her hands, inexplicably nervous, but Jiang Shui didn't even want to express her perfunctory response, she closed her lips tightly, and continued to read her comics meticulously, even her eyelashes blinked several beats slower. Until Xiao Yi saw the pink projector next to her bed, he didn't plan to say any more, give her some space!

Yes, he has always been so late to know, he must not know that the rhythm of the eyelash blinking is several beats slower because he is holding back the tears in the corners of his eyes.

When he turned, she collapsed.

Luo Ying sat on the swivel chair, looking at the river water curled up in the quilt and holding back the cry, speechless.

Ginza Sushi was tossed into the trash, and that night, with red and swollen apricot eyes, she stared at the pink projector in front of her and swore that it would be her last gift from him.

Xiao Yi, who has settled in the dust, is obviously much more relaxed than other senior high school students, Jiang Shui often has to go to self-study late until late, and he has become the best choice to escort his sister home safely.

It was around October 30th, and the weather was a little cold, and the wind blowing outside the window even smelled of winter. Xiao Yi opened the sliding window, and under the dim street lamp, the row of dense boxwood trees at the intersection had already fallen off their leaves before he knew it. Wearing a baseball uniform, he felt his hands cold when he sat in the room, not to mention that Jiang Shui only wore a thin doll collar shirt to school today, thinking about it, he decisively walked into Jiang Shui's room, took out a knitted sweater from the closet, and went out with the key.

When the school bell rang, Xiao Yi stood on the half-meter-high flower pond on both sides of the school gate and overlooked. However, until all the students were gone, he didn't see Jiang Shui, could it be that he hadn't come out yet? Could it be that he had missed it? He decided to wait a little longer, and finally, after the crowd had diluted for several minutes, a group of students came out of the school gate again, Xiao Yi couldn't wait any longer, he jumped down decisively, stopped a girl who was walking alone, and asked, "Do you know Watanabe Jiangshui?"

The girl was startled by him, and then said in surprise: "Jiang Shui, she didn't come today!"

"You're her classmate?"

"Yes, are you, her brother?" the girl's eyebrows curled.

Xiao Yi ignored her surprise, frowned and continued to ask: "Do you know which classmates she usually has a good relationship with in the class? Could it be with them, do you have contact information?"

"Impossible!" the girl shook her head with certainty, "Tonight is a mock test, and no one in our class is absent at all, Jiang Shui, is she missing?" the girl asked with a wink.

Xiao Yi didn't answer, he clenched his fists and stood there thinking for a long time, he searched in his mind for all the places she might go, but every possible thing was immediately denied by him.

"Although I don't know if it's true, I heard that Jiang Shui has been very close to a boy in our grade recently, and that boy seems to be a little strange, and no one has seen him. However, these are all rumors, I believe Jiang Shui, she has such a well-behaved personality, and such excellent parents and brothers, how can she be as casual as those girls who lack discipline!" The girl pursed her lips and smiled flatteringly.

Strange personality, pink projector, Xiao Yi immediately remembered a classmate in his experimental group, he was a programming master, at the beginning, he offered to help him do that work! )
