Since then, Mu Fengye, who was originally dull, suddenly became willing to take the initiative to communicate with people, perhaps because he found the first friend in his life who could be trusted, and he wanted to dig up more friends like Serina and Ayakawa in this world.

But the good times didn't last long, in the second semester after the winter vacation, Ayakawa suddenly suffered from a rare disease, and the family moved to the United States, where they received long-term treatment on the other side, and never saw her again, not even a single email or text message, she seemed to suddenly disappear into the world of Mu Fengye and Sirina.

At the beginning of February, when there was still a layer of hoarfrost between heaven and earth, Mu Feng returned home with Silina after school at night, simply handled his homework, and waited for dinner time to come.

"Xiaoye, can you come and help me?" Yingli's voice came from the kitchen, she didn't know what kind of dishes she was stumped by, she didn't expect that there were dishes in this world that could make her feel troublesome.

"It's coming!"

Passing by the living room, Sirina's father is also at home today, and the company's affairs have been more relaxed lately, and she can often find time to gather at home for a meal like today.

"Nightlord, how are you doing?" "Selina's father's name is Leon Yech, Leon seems to have the meaning of a lion in Germany, as the name suggests, Leon has a golden beard on his face, which looks like a lion.

"Thanks to you, everything has been going well lately. ”

"That's good, by the way, Yingli seems to be calling you, go over and have a look. Leon smiled and nodded, he and Mu Fengye's father used to be business partners, and the friend's son is now at home, and he must be treated well.

When I came to the kitchen, I didn't know what was cooking in the pot, and I could vaguely ask for a hint of the fragrance of celery and meat.

"Aunt Yingli, is there anything wrong with me?" Mu Fengye approached the pot, and he suddenly found that there was some flour left on the cutting board on the side, probably some new dish.

"Xiaoye, today is your Chinese New Year, right? I cooked dumplings, and because I didn't ask you what you liked to eat beforehand, I took it upon myself to use celery and pork. Oh yes, go get Serina down, too. ”

Mu Fengye's impression of the Spring Festival is very vague, but she has experienced an unforgettable Christmas, when Sirina and Ayakawa built a snowman is still vivid, but now one of them has gone to a distant country.

"Is it the Spring Festival......? The country at night is about the same as Christmas, isn't it?"

"I don't know, in the past, I was at home alone during the Spring Festival, at most I had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the maids. I didn't have any friends who told me how to celebrate this kind of holiday, and if it was Christmas, I would buy a Christmas tree and pile all the presents under the tree, but I had never seen a Christmas tree during the Chinese New Year. ”

"Saya, Sirina, it's time to eat!"

"Mom is urging us, let's go down first. Serina jumped out of bed and went downstairs with Mu Fengye.

At the dining table, Mu Fengye barely moved the plate of dumplings, just stuffed the usual dishes made by Ying Li into his mouth.

"Leon, can you drive Saya back tonight? It's cold outside. Yingli looked at the plate of dumplings that had not moved at all with some loss, maybe there were too many dishes cooked today, so no one ate them, she could only comfort herself like this.

"OK, by the way, since it's so cold outside, why don't you let Yejun stay for the night?"

Ying Li didn't seem to have any opinions, and turned her head to ask Mu Fengye: "Xiaoye, is it okay?"

"Well, then I'll bother for the night. Mu Fengye knew that today was Friday, and since there was no need to go to class tomorrow, there was no need to go back to the empty house where there was no one so early, and it was not very lonely to have Leon Yingli and Serina with him here.

"Honey, I'll go clean up that empty room and let the Night-Lord sleep in our room tonight. ”

"Uncle Leon, don't worry, I'll just go to the empty house. ”

"Then what's the matter, you're a guest of our family, how can there be a reason for a guest to sleep in a cold and empty house?"

Mu Fengye suddenly stood up and walked straight to the door: "In that case, I'll go back first, no matter what, you can't disturb the two of you for me." ”

"Night. ”

"Ahh Leon eventually lost to Mu Fengye and agreed to let him go to that empty room.

The evening time is not as lively as expected, Leon is sorting out the company's materials in the study, and Yingli is also busy with housework. Serena has been depressed lately, probably because Ayakawa didn't say goodbye, and the entire living room is almost exclusively filled with the sound of television.

Unconsciously, a cold hand reached into the collar, and Mu Fengye suddenly felt like his whole body had fallen into an ice hole, and suddenly woke up from the sofa.

"Night, sleeping here will catch a cold. Mu Fengye realized that it was late, and glanced up at the wall clock, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the TV was gray, and Silina was about to turn it off.

"Selina, you seem to be in a bad mood today, is it because I want to stay?"

Serina hurriedly shook her head: "No, of course I'm happy to stay at night, but ......"

She bit her lip lightly, and finally gave up the second half of the sentence: "Forget it, it's not early, Dad and Mom are already asleep, and we should sleep too." ”

"Oh. ”

Changing into Leon's previous nightgown, Mu Feng found the room on the second floor in the dark, the inside was indeed not as warm as the outside, but it was barely over, as long as the quilt was warm.

Lying on the floor, half of the moon seemed to be visible from this position, the moonlight sprinkled softly on the windowsill, Mu Feng had been unable to fall asleep at night, it seemed that he had slept for too long just now, and now he was completely sleepless.

"Click. ”

The door of the room was suddenly opened, Mu Fengye turned her head curiously in the direction of the door, it was pitch black, but the fluorescence of the mobile phone was flashing, and Silina was wearing a quilt and holding the mobile phone and walked into the room shivering.

"Serina?"

She didn't say a word, just opened the closet, took out a new set of mattresses from it, and spread it next to Mu Fengye, and then the whole person fell on the mattress with the quilt on her body, trembling and trying to let the cup wrap her body inside.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be in your room?"

"Hmm, can't I wake you up?" Serina turned off the light on her phone and turned her face to Mu Fengye, the moonlight was just enough to hit her cheeks, and there seemed to be some redness in the whiteness, and her eyes flickered with red and blue.

"No, I haven't been asleep. ”

"Night, what do you usually think about when you can't sleep?" asked Sirina suddenly.

Mu Fengye was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question properly, and his mind was blank for about half of the time.

Seeing that he hadn't answered the question for a long time, Serina had no choice but to continue: "I will try to think of something happy so that I can have a good dream after falling asleep. But recently, this feeling has disappeared, and as long as you close your eyes and think of Akiko, I was going to stop worrying about her existence, but why can't I do it?"

"Why forget about Ayakawa?

"She's gone, isn't she? and hasn't said anything like that to any of us. The moonlight reflected Sirina's tears, but Mu Fengye knew very well why Ayakawa would say goodbye without saying goodbye, so much so that a week later she heard from the head teacher that she had to leave here because of illness.

"Ayakawa is very similar to Sirina. ”

"Night?"

"Don't you feel it, Sirina? I can feel it, Ayakawa and Sirina are in the same place. Mu Fengye looked at the ceiling and said with a smile: "Ayakawa likes to eat blueberry-flavored crepes, and so does Silina; Ayakawa likes to bite the pen when she can't do the question, and so does Silina; Ayakawa will squat on the side of the road and wait for someone who knows her to pass by when she gets lost alone, and this is the same for Silina." You've reached a heart-to-heart connection with each other in a sense, but as a friend, you shouldn't be unable to understand Ayakawa's approach. Ah~ Sometimes I'm jealous of Sirina, because she has a friend I don't have. ”

Serina was stunned, she never thought that Mu Feng would say this to herself like today, it was just a winter, he actually had such a transformation, and the person who changed him was not herself, but Ayakawa.

No, it should be said that it is the two of them, because of this atmosphere of friendship, Mu Fengye will be attracted from that dark whirlpool and become eager to get a real friend like Sirina.

"If you keep staring at Ayakawa, Serina will never see herself. ”

Serina studied this sentence very carefully, and for the first time in her heart, she calmed down and thought about the problem, if she retracted her gaze to herself, what would she see?

"If I were to do it, I would probably make the same choice as her. After a long time, Sirina seemed to understand Ayakawa's reason for doing this, and because of her status as a friend, she didn't want Sirina to feel sad, preferring to make her hate herself rather than tell her that she was seriously ill and would die soon.

Medical technology may be able to cure Ayakawa's illness, but the time lost between them cannot be cured.

"Stupid Qiuzi, who would hate her, if you don't cooperate with the treatment to keep yourself alive, even in the United States, I will go over and take her out and scold her. At night, remember to stand on my side a little bit. ”

"Night?"

"Whew-"

"He slept so fast. ”
