It was probably the darkest hours of Ryota Kuse's life.

Falling ceilings, crumbling staircases......

After all, he couldn't run faster than the speed of the building's collapse, and he was buried in the rubble of the collapsed school building.

In a narrow space, the darkness of the fingers could not be seen, only the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier.

Huang Se's left hand was pressed by the stone, and his back was pressed against the cold cement, out of the instinct of survival, he gently twisted his arm, and after rubbing a few pieces of skin, he finally pulled his left arm out of the gap.

"Little Chiaki?" He exhaled softly. He felt that she should be near him.

"Huh?" Sure enough, a faint female voice came from not far away.

"Are you alright?" Huang Se asked anxiously.

"Good...... ...... pain" staccato sound in my ears.

Qianqiu has always been full of vitality, and even if she was injured, she didn't shed tears lightly. Listening to the irrepressible muffled snort, it must have been a very serious injury.

Kase remembers that at the time when the ceiling collapsed, Chiaki suddenly hugged him so that he was not shocked, however......

Thinking of this undoubtedly made his face pale for a moment.

"Xiao Qianqiu, you must hold on." In this small space, Huang Se did not dare to act rashly, for fear that his actions would cause the loose stones to move, thus changing the only living space they had.

"Hmm...... I'm okay ...... for the time being," Chiaki said weakly.

However, the burning pain in her back made her consciousness a little blurred.

"I went to Shibuya the other day and found a candy store, they have good chocolate, and the hard candy looks very tasty!" Huang Se racked his brains and said something funny, although it sounded very light, but his heart was extremely anxious.

I wanted to say that we would go together next time, but I don't know how long this "next time" will be.

Pretending to be relaxed at this time is not only to comfort yourself, but also to attract Chiaki's attention.

He deeply understood that he must not pass out at this time, and he could only insist on waiting for the moment when the rescuers arrived.

"And that accessory point has a new product, haven't you always liked all kinds of headwear? I don't know how long it took to open the door after this time. ”

"That day ......"

"You're so noisy...... Let me...... Get some sleep. Who knew Chiaki interrupted his gushing.

"No, you can't!" Huang Se cried out in some panic.

If you fall asleep at this time, then there is a good chance that you will not wake up.

"Eh, Xiao Qianqiu, why did you ...... just now? Standing in my way? "Huang Se is sad when he thinks of this.

In fact, with his reflexes, it is not surprising that he can dodge a large falling ceiling, and he may be injured by a corner, but it is definitely better than bearing the weight of a whole block.

"Because you used to ...... You saved me once," Chiaki said with some amusement, "and after that, I was probably thinking...... You must not be hurt......"

Humans are nervous because they are "known". Nervous before an exam because you know you're going to face an exam that will determine your mood for the holidays; You get nervous before you go on stage because you know that you're going to be facing a lot of people and judges.

But the moment he saw the ceiling falling, Qianqiu, who was obviously nervous and in a cold sweat, ran towards him instead. At that moment, her mind went blank, and her body involuntarily did something that defied biological instinct.

In the past, she would scoff at the self-sacrificing behavior in film and television works, thinking that they could only exist in the flat world, in reality, everyone is an independent individual, everyone is full of selfishness, and loves others more than themselves.

But at that moment, she had only one thought in her heart - she didn't want him to get hurt.

At first, Huang Se kept talking, cheering up the two of them, but then his eyelids became heavy.

He faintly heard an unfamiliar male voice above his head.

"Anyone? Help us......" he called out with the only spirit he had, and his consciousness began to blur.

"There's still someone here!"

"Preparing for the rescue ......"

When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the happy eyes of his mother and sister.

"Ryota, you're finally awake!" Ryoko Kase exclaimed in surprise and hugged him gently.

"Where's Chiaki?" The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask where his childhood was.

"I don't know yet," Ryoko Kase sighed, "Don't think about it now, just rest well." ”

She couldn't get in touch with her family for hours after the earthquake, and the phone couldn't get through at all, so she ran home anxiously and was relieved to see her parents, who were also anxious to return.

Later, I found my second sister in middle school, and it seems that she was injured a little, but there is no major problem. The whole family's thoughts were all on the youngest Ryota Kuse, because they couldn't hear from him for a long time.

When they arrived at his elementary school, they found that several of the school's old buildings had collapsed. And when they learned that Ryota Kase was in a collapsed building, the whole family turned white with fright.

Don't be fine, Ryota!

She was like an ant on a fire, so anxious that she walked back and forth in place, and even rushed forward to cry and beg the rescuers.

"Ryoko, calm down!" Huang Se's father pulled her back to his side, although he was also anxious in his heart, but as the pillar of the family, in order to make his wife and children more at ease, he had to pretend to be calm.

"Trust the rescuers, believe Ryota." Picking up his excited daughter in his arms, he caressed her back and comforted her.

They fell into an anxious wait, and among the people who were carried out one after another, they finally waited for the familiar figure.

During this time, she has been around Ryota Khase. Compared with those who lacked arms and legs, in fact, his injuries were not serious, and the doctor said that he would be able to fully recover in a few months, and the family was relieved. This is a blessing in disguise.

She was so focused on her brother that she didn't pay much attention to other things. However, based on her memory, Chiaki Ayase, who was rescued with Ryota Kagose, does not seem to be in good condition.

But now is the time to never say anything bad to Ryota Kuse. The most important thing at the moment is to let him recuperate.

Looking at her sister's concerned appearance, Huang Se nodded, thinking that he was lying in the hospital now, so Xiao Qianqiu must have been rescued. The depression in my heart has improved slightly.

After spending a month in the hospital in a plaster cast, he was finally discharged.

However, on the first day of his discharge, Kase left Miyagi Prefecture with his family and came to Tokyo. Although the previous house did not collapse, it became an uninhabitable house, but fortunately, Huangse's father had a plan to go to Tokyo, but because of the earthquake, this plan was advanced by a year.

Forced to move, despite living in a new house, Kase was not as happy as he imagined, and always felt empty in his heart.

At the dinner table, Ryota Kase asks about his former neighbors.

"They've moved to their hometown." Kuse's mother sighed, but her expression was slightly sad.

"What about Chiaki?"

"She ......" Ryoko Kase just wanted to interject, but was stopped by her mother with a look.

"Of course she went along." Huang Se's mother hurriedly said.

From that day on, Chiaki Ayase seemed to have disappeared from this world.

To be precise, it disappeared in the world of Ryota Kuse.

Whenever he mentioned each other in front of his family, the whole family laughed and laughed, and after a while, they changed the topic.

However, the more this happened, the deeper the doubts in his heart became.

The summer vacation after graduating from elementary school, he decided to go to Qianqiu's hometown without telling his family, but in the end he was discovered by his father.

"They're fine over there, so don't bother their house." When asked why he was stopped, his father sighed heavily.

This confusion and confusion lasted for three years, until this holiday, when I reunited with Chiaki Ayase again in front of the amusement park.

He turned a blind eye to her sometimes preoccupied appearance, ignoring all her sense of disobedience.

Anyway, it's great to meet you again.

The sun had risen for a new day, and the brilliant light had cast a golden layer on the surface of the sea, sparkling and dazzling to make people want to cry.

"I want to go to the shrine." He said to Nanaya with a blank face.

Nanaya stared at Huang Se, who looked indifferent, and nodded involuntarily.

The shrine is at the top of Enoshima, and the two didn't go up again this time, so they chose the elevator in order to get there faster.

Arriving at Enoshima Shrine again, it was clear that only one day had passed, and the two were already in different moods.

Nanaya still remembers that yesterday, Huang Se and Chiaki were still playing at the wishing place, and she was quietly watching from a distance, at this time only Huang Se and her were left, and a sadness of being a person surged into her heart.

Huang Se craned his neck and walked back and forth among the thousands of wishing cards, carefully searching for them one after another.

"Not this ......"

"It's not this either."

His tone seemed to be a little impatient, but his movements were very cautious, carefully watching the contents of one wishing card after another.

When he turned to a certain sign, he couldn't help but stop.

Qiye saw him stunned, like a lonely crane standing in the vastness of heaven and earth, and couldn't help but poke his head over and glance at the content on it.

On the wooden plaque, a few large characters were written vigorously with a black marker.

"Ryota must be happy."

After turning it over, the reverse side of the wooden sign reads: "I hope that the seven nights will be well." ”

Overhead is covered with wishing cards, the breeze blows, and countless cards collide with each other to make a small and light sound. The sun shines through the cracks, peaceful and beautiful.

The two of them stood in place without saying a word for a long time, until their legs and feet were sore.

Qiye finally made up his mind, turned his head, and his lips opened slightly: "Huang Se-kun, do you want to see Qianqiu?" ”
