The sky in Japan has always been so clean and open, the cold air seems to be filtered, with a hint of clarity, the temple is spotlessly cleaned, and the head monk wearing a yellow robe and monk's robe quietly greets passers-by, and then leaves quietly. The front yard of the ancient temple is paved with blue bricks, very neat, surrounded by flowers, and the air can faintly smell a few traces of cold aroma.

Beichuan Ai took a calm step, and after entering the temple to offer incense and worship, the monk in charge picked a bunch of flowers by the wall and handed it to her.

"Thank you."

The woman with short silver-white ear-length hair gently hugged the bouquet of flowers, and looked at the backyard with red eyes calm and deep.

The temple of a few years ago has hardly changed from today, and it is still so deep that it is like the Japanese sky, always so blue.

In the backyard, after dozens of dense tombstones, Ai Kitagawa finally stayed on a tombstone covering an area of more than one square meter, looking at the two names side by side, a trace of tingling and remorse flashed in her silent red eyes.

She reached out and stroked the carved name, and the tentacles were cold, but exceptionally clean. She was a little surprised, but also a little surprised.

I guess it's because my uncle and they come here a lot, so it's so clean.

There are a number of delicate flowers in front of the tombstone, and it is clear that the packaging was not picked from the flower garden in the front yard.

A trace of doubt flashed in Kitagawa's love. But he still put the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone smoothly.

This is the family tombstone of the Tezuka family, and many of the current members of the Tezuka family are enshrined here, and she will be buried here in the future.

Bending down and kneeling in front of the tombstone, Kitagawa Ai clasped his hands together and his eyes gently brushed over the two names.

"Daddy, Father. Little Love has come to see you. ”

Kitagawa Scarlet Tezuka Kunishin

"It's only been a few years, and your daughter has become a terrible adult." The woman's voice was not sweet, and even a little tired and hoarse, "Although I have returned to China after success, I am still alone." But I tell you a very happy thing, brother, he has a girlfriend, and this time he returned to China to hold his wedding with his sister-in-law. In a few days, my brother should bring my sister-in-law over. My sister-in-law is really a very gentle woman, do all boys like such girls? ”

She lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly, then showed a bright smile again, and narrowed her red eyes slightly: "But ah, Xiao Ai will also try to bring you a boy who satisfies you!" After all, we had an agreement. ”

After babbling to his deceased fathers, Kitagawa stood up tremblingly, his knees on the cold ground and a little stiff.

"I'm a terrible adult, but I'm trying not to let you down."

She said in a somewhat firm, somewhat cowardly, and somewhat fearful tone, then bent down and bowed deeply to the tombstone for a long time before getting up and leaving the temple.

>>>

The red light kept on and it would take a few seconds to turn green, and Kitagawa stared at the traffic light and shifted to the coffee shop on the opposite street. Suddenly, the phone in my pocket rang. The words 'Brother Kunimitsu' lit up on the screen, and she opened a slightly dependent smile and answered the phone.

"Brother."

"Aren't you ready to come back yet?" A gentle voice came over in the coldness.

"I still have to meet someone, my brother has already brought my sister-in-law home."

"Well, I'm going to take Yizi to the old house to see grandpa later, you come back early, and we'll have dinner together in the evening."

"Okay, but brother, do you mind if I bring someone back?"

"Well, if Xiaoai can bring friends over, my father and mother will be very happy."

"Actually, I'm not sure if I can bring him back, but I don't want to disappoint Ayana's mother, so brother, don't sue them yet."

"Him? Okay, waiting for your good news. ”

"En~ By the way, remember to tell Sister Yizi not to rush to set the style of the wedding dress, I want to see Sister Yizi try on the wedding dress with my own eyes."

"I see."

Taking a deep breath, Kitagawa Ai stepped into the café in front of him, looking for the table number 7.

“A”

"Liang Taijun!"

The blonde man sitting at the table had a pair of phoenix eyes that were still charming even after so many years, and his golden brown eyes stared at her seriously with incomprehensible affection.

"Little Beibei~ You're so early!" Ryota Kase put down the small spoon stirring in his hand, his voice still felt, with the unique magnetism of maturity, but it still retained the beauty of his youth, but the smile on his face was not joy.

There seems to be something wrong with this and the reencounter scene she imagined.

She lowered her head and touched the tip of her nose, pulled out a chair and sat down so that her sudden fluctuating heartbeat could calm down.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other!" She took the initiative to speak, "Since graduation. ”

"Yes, it's been a long time, I miss you a lot, what about you, Xiaobeibei?" Ryota Kase barely raised a smile, but lost the wanton in his memory.

Kitagawa Aiwei frowned invisibly, for Huang Se's tone and attitude, that rusty attitude, as if they were just ordinary friends. She raised her hand and half-drained the coffee on the table, a little impatient to get straight to the point.

It's just that she always feels a little shy when she says this kind of thing.

"That, Ryo-kun, me"

"Look, the news says you're with Tezuka-senpai."

Ryota Kase suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the TV hanging in the air, as if inadvertently interrupting Ai Kitagawa's words.

Kitagawa Ai was stunned and turned his head to look at the TV.

Tennis player Kunimitsu Tezuka has returned to Japan with honor, winning four Grand Slams, and I heard that he returned to Japan this time to hold his wedding with his girlfriend. It is reported that Kitagawa Aisan will soon be stationed in the tennis club of Tokyo Sports University as the nominal supervisor of the basketball club, and based on this, we can guess the enrollment rate of Tokyo Sports University this year."

"Well, this kind of thing is just a rumor, I'm not sure I'm going to get bigger." Kitagawa Ai shook his head, "Maybe I'll go to Diguang, because my ability is not limited to tennis." ”

She licked her inexplicably dry lips, and there was a sentence that kept floating in her chest, not vomiting or unhappy.

"Liang Taijun, I"

"Listen to Xiao Akaji, we will hold a party next week, the same group of members will come to participate, and Xiao Peach will also come, by the way, you don't know, Xiao Peach and Xiao Kuroko are finally together, and the wedding will be held at the end of this year, and then let Xiao Sazi be the bridesmaid, Xiao Qingfeng will be the best man, and Xiao Peach will let Xiao Qingfeng wear a white suit, I don't know if it will scare people to death, move the black charcoal?"

Huang Se stared at the silent girl opposite, the silver-white hair was still the same as when he was a teenager, dazzling and charming, but it seemed to have become a lot more restrained, the long hair in his memory became the shoulder-length short hair now, and the eyes he saw when he looked at each other just now, the flamboyant fiery red seemed to have also become the warm and hurtful red that he is now in the precipitation of time.

A trace of loss flashed in his heart, this feeling was inexplicably familiar, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have become an extremely difficult thing.

"If you don't have time, you have to make time! Otherwise, May would have been angry! Huang Se's voice was still so energetic, it seemed that there was no time when it wasn't like this, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, his face changed slightly: "Xiao Beibei, I won't talk to you first, there is still work to be done, I have to rush, I know that Xiao Lu Jian must have your contact information, and the classmates will definitely come when the time comes, I will go first, and we will talk when I have time!" Bye! ”

"Huh? Oh, be careful on your way. ”

Kitagawa Ai looked at Huang Se's back in a panic, and a little sourness flashed in his heart.

It seems that I took the initiative to disappoint my brother today.,Fortunately, I didn't let my brother tell Caina's mother.。

She hung her head, pursed her mouth, brackered her spirits, and silently cheered herself up. It's nothing, it's just a bad time now, and next time Huang Se has free time, he will definitely be able to sit down and talk. And after all, the agreement is here, and Kase must be working hard so far, right? There should be a lot of work, right? Even for just a few minutes, she could feel the attention of the passers-by around her.

But she really doesn't know how far Huang Se has come.

――I'm sorry Ryota I'm not in the mood for love right now.

- Then Xiao Ai, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know what happened to Xiao Ai you, although you may not be qualified to interfere, but if you are not happy, you can tell me!

――Ryota, I like Ryota, but the timing is really wrong! I can't do this kind of thing at this time I hate the people of the Kitagawa family, I hate them!

――I know I know, Xiao Ai I understand, so let's make an agreement, give each other a deadline, I try to be a reliable man, Xiao Ai, when you think it's appropriate, send me a message, we'll come out and meet and then

- Okay.

At that time, she had never even found the meaning of life, and she could only deceive herself about how to face that deep feeling, thinking that only when she really grew up could she face it calmly and completely.

"Well, it's still so early"

Kitagawa looked at the time on her watch, it was still early for the family dinner in the evening, in fact, she didn't want to go back so early. Although nominally she is the daughter of the Tezuka family, in fact, she has nothing to do with the Tezuka family, and she doesn't even know if her dream of burying her ashes in the tombstone of the Tazuka family can be realized. Now that Tezuka Kunimitsu's girlfriend is back, and their family is reunited, Ayana's mother and Uncle Kuniharu must be very happy, and grandpa will definitely be happy to touch his beard when he sees his granddaughter-in-law, and pull Kunimitsu's brother to play Go again.

"Chong continued!"

"Okay! Watch my slam dunk! ”

"Cut~ failed, how could a middle school student slam a dunk! Let's learn how to make a three-step layup! ”

The high-spirited voice full of juvenile atmosphere attracted Ai Kitagawa's attention, and she raised her head, only to find that she had unconsciously run to the side of the park, where several teenagers who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old were playing 3-on-3, fighting each other with smiles on their faces.

It's just that what catches the eye more is the man standing in the corner of the public basketball court, the man in an ivory white suit with his hands in his pockets, and his golden brown eyes staring at the man in the court seriously.

Why is Kuse-kun here? Didn't you say there was a job?

Kitagawa Ai takes a step forward and is about to walk to Kuse when the conversation between two girls holding mobile phones on the side of the road catches her attention.

"That's Kuse-kun, right?"

"He's watching basketball again."

"I heard that the last time the national team invited him to be an assistant coach, he refused."

"There's no way around it, after all, Huang Se-kun can't play basketball anymore."

What are they talking about?

Ai Kitagawa's eyes widened and landed on the man in front of her.

"Speaking of which, why did Huang Se-kun quit the national team?"

"The old injury has recurred, it seems to have fallen in college, and I didn't even go to the NBA tryouts."

"You know it so well!"

"Of course, I've been following Huang Se-kun since he was in high school!"

"But he should be quite happy to continue to be a model, right?"

"I think so too, haha, take a few more photos and save them, Xiao Mo knows that we can actually meet Huang Sejun, and I must regret not coming out together."

The red eyes widened slightly, and his gaze stopped tightly on the man, looking at his slightly lonely back, Beichuan Ai's brain was buzzing. She took out her mobile phone and searched the Internet with stiff fingers, information she never dared to pay attention to.

What is it called, [Huang Se-kun can't play basketball anymore]?
