The days seemed to be calm again. For Qiye, when she went home at night, there was one less figure chattering beside her, and she began to get used to it.

But she cares more about Ryota Kuse, who hasn't moved at all for so many days.

On the street that day, he suddenly cried without warning, which instantly attracted the attention of all passers-by.

A good-looking big man was crying on the street as if no one was around, and no one could help but look back, and even more wanted to come to hand over tissues, but he was naturally scared away by Qiye's cold gaze.

Reluctantly, she took out her handkerchief and handed it to him.

always felt that those passers-by misunderstood her as "bullying" him. She stood awkwardly on a crowded street corner, ravaged by the sights of curiosity and reproach, and unwilling to turn away, leaving behind the crying man in front of her.

However, her embarrassment vanished when he sobbed and said, "I like her too."

She opened her mouth, but in the end she chose to remain silent.

She couldn't help but look into the distance, the shallow green sky, like the face of a child about to cry, not surprisingly after a while, she cried like Huang Se.

She may not feel the same way, but she understands one truth deeply-

After all, once you get love, once you give love, you can't forget it.

originally thought that the two would no longer socialize, but one day after school, Qiye caught a glimpse of a familiar golden figure at the school gate. When the other party saw her, he beckoned to her and walked over completely ignoring the curious eyes of the people around him.

"Long time no see, Kuse-kun." Nanaya first greeted politely.

It's been less than a month since we last met, but why do you feel like you're in a different world?

"Is Asahi free tomorrow?" Kase smiled and went straight to the point, "I want you to accompany me to a place." ”

He didn't reveal the location, but when Nanaya saw the other party's rare serious look, he nodded in a ghostly manner.

It wasn't until they met the next day, when Kase took her to buy a ticket to Kyoto and then transfer to Nara, that Nanaya realized where they were going.

"Actually, I've always wondered how little Asahi found out about her ......" Sitting on the Shinkansen to Kyoto, Kase supported his head with his hands, a little unable to stand the silent atmosphere, unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart for so many days, or couldn't help but speak.

"I saw her." Qiye said lightly, and sure enough, he heard Huang Se exclaim.

"You...... You mean you can see ......" Huang Se was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Nanaya nodded and generously admitted: "Well, Huang Se-kun wants to keep it a secret. ”

"Then what happened later......" After thinking about it for a long time, Karose didn't know how to express it, but he believed that Nanaya would understand what he meant.

Nanaya sighed, don't look at the people in front of you, you often make stupid mistakes, but it's not easy to fool the past. So she had to make a long story short and tell him about the clothes.

After hearing too much exciting news, Huang Se was a little unbearable for a while, and was stunned for a long time. After that, the road was not as noisy as usual.

By the time the two arrived in Nara, it was already afternoon.

Compared to Fujisawa, Nara is a little more quaint and quiet.

Nanaya's impression of the city was that there were many ancient temples, shrines, and historical artifacts, the most famous of which was Todai-ji Temple, which was also a place she wanted to visit. It's just that the two didn't plan to go to any famous attractions on this trip, but took a taxi directly to a cemetery located outside the suburbs.

"I inquired for a long time to find out she was here." Huang Se pursed her lips, her smile full of bitterness.

Nanaya nodded, didn't speak, just quietly followed behind him. The two men wandered in front of thousands of tombstones, walked past one black and white stone carving after another, and finally stopped somewhere.

In the photo on the tombstone, Chiaki Ayase's face is slightly immature, which is probably taken before she died in elementary school.

For Chiaki Ayase, Nanaya doesn't know how to accurately describe the feelings she makes her, but the only thing that is certain is shock.

is obviously a thin body, but it can burst out with such strong emotions. Sounds so incredible.

Nanaya once heard a saying: "When a girl loves, everyone should be afraid." Because she can sacrifice everything, she thinks everything else is worthless", and it is not an exaggeration to use it on Qianqiu.

Two men stood in front of the tombstone, speechless, neither of them willing to speak.

As the sun sets, the afterglow sways to everything, and the gray or black stone monuments are plated with a layer of brilliant gold, adding a touch of warmth to the cold. Singing was faintly heard in the wind, accompanied by the beat of drums, echoing in this empty space.

出逢えたからここの在るこの (this derived from the date of the encounter)

空っぽだから大事にするよ (空毶 is doubly cherished because of this)

運命か彩かyesterdayとTodayの (fate is destined or something is done in the gap between yesterday and today)

篓に終えた君の御霊と (焛焉 with your soul)

はじめてだよ跡形も無い君に (This life has never been so towards you who disappeared)

声を振るわせ届けと願うのは (嘶声力exhaust地設設設You can hear)

Later, Qiye learned that this was a requiem song to pray for the blessings of the people who died in the earthquake.

"Little Asahi, thank you." Also hidden in the wind, there is also Huang Se's soft words.

Since then, he hasn't seen Ryota Kase again for seven nights.

The friendship between the two was not deep, and this time was tied together because of Ayase Chiaki. As long as you think of each other, you will think of the broken rope that was tied between the two of them, and the depression in Qiye's heart has nowhere to go. And for Huang Se, it's not just about being depressed.

Seven Nights understands that this relationship will eventually dissipate with the passage of time, like solid bedrock weathered into sand dunes, and perhaps after many years they will let go of it and see it as a nostalgic past.

Now Huang Se can only continue to walk the rest of the journey with this painful and sweet thought.

And she will always remember the story of the two.

During a certain recess, while she was preparing for the next lesson, a classmate next to her told her that someone was looking for her.

This undoubtedly made her a little puzzled, during this period of dealing with the incident of Huang Se, she rarely communicated with the people of Lihai University, and she had a good relationship with a few classmates who sat close, and she did not have the opportunity to meet people from other classes. Especially when she saw the strange looks of her classmates at this time, she became more and more confused.

After stepping out of the classroom, she looked around and caught a glimpse of a figure that was not unfamiliar.

The blue hair of the kite was soft against her face, and her beautiful face made her quickly remember that he was the painting boy she met by chance on Enoshima. I just didn't expect them to be alumni.

"Asahi-san, long time no see." The boy smiled softly.

"Long time no see." Nanaya responded politely, although his face was calm, but he was very confused about the purpose of his coming to her.

As if he saw Nanaya's doubts, the boy smiled and continued, "Since you still remember me, you must not have forgotten the painting of Jì. The work has just been completed, I wonder if I can ask you to take a look at it? ”

Nanaya was a little surprised by this invitation, but nodded anyway.

They are all creative people, although her direction is words, and her youth is pictures, but at least she herself attaches great importance to the source of inspiration.

So during the lunch break, she came to the art classroom of Lihai University as agreed.

Knocking lightly on the door, she heard a warm male voice coming from inside: "Please come in." ”

"A few days ago, I ran into Asahi in the corridor, so I asked someone in your class." The boy told the truth that he knew the name of Seven Nights.

"It's okay, Yukimura-kun." Nanaya nodded in understanding. Because when she returned to the classroom, she asked the people around her about him. Her white-haired tablemate looked her up and down curiously for a moment.

The boy, Yukimura Seiichi, is a school figure who is said to be the current head of the tennis department and a member of the art club.

If it is said that his status in the hearts of the students of Lihai University is comparable to the traces of Jingwu in the hearts of the students of the Ice Emperor. When he was in junior high school, he led the Lihai University Tennis Club to win two consecutive national victories, but because of a serious illness in the third year, he missed the championship. Even this could not resist the reverence of others. I just entered high school and easily won the position of head of the tennis club of Lihai University.

I didn't pay much attention to the above content Seven Nights, just regarded it as a beautiful encounter. At this time, she did not know that this teenager would become a special existence in her life in the future. Of course, that's all for later.

Seiichi Yukimura walked over to the easel, lifted the covering on it, and looked up at Nanaya and smiled.

Seven Nights set his sights on the canvas.

It was a watercolor painting with blue sky and white clouds, the coast of Shonan as the background, on the belvedere, the blonde boy holding a selfie stick and smiling brightly, while the chestnut-haired girl was close to him, gesturing a scissor hand towards the camera. Not far away, a brunette girl quietly watched them play.

Nanaya doesn't particularly know watercolor painting, but looking at the delicate brushstrokes and bold colors, I think it's a good work.

"Does this painting have a name?" She looked up and asked curiously.

"Well, not yet," Yukimura Seiichi held his chin with his hand, and his expression seemed a little distressed, but soon the slightly frowning brow stretched out and showed a good-looking smile, "What does Asahi think of "Two People"? ”

Qiye originally thought that the other party would say a simple and crude name such as "threesome", but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the boy in front of her, but he still had a light smile, which made her suspect that she was thinking too much.

Although he didn't see any clues from the other party's expression, Nanaya felt that this young man was not simple.

After some praise, Nanaya said goodbye to Yukimura Seiichi.

If only Kase could see this painting. Walking out of the art classroom, Nanaya had this thought in his heart, but then shook his head again.

It's better not to bother him lightly, after all, the wound needs time to heal.

On the way home, Qiye passed by the dessert shop where Qianqiu had worked, stared at the signboard for a while, and finally sighed and walked into the store.

The dessert shop after school was very lively, and Qiye found the corner of the store, and as soon as she sat down, the waiter smiled and put the menu in front of her.

"May I ask if this guest needs anything?"

"Matcha cake." Qiye didn't look at the menu and blurted out.

As the waiter brought the dessert to her, she stared at the green pastry, and the girl with a bright smile and a poignant smile suddenly came to mind, and the other party carefully handed her the cake as if it had happened yesterday.

She has never eaten much desserts, so she sat in the corner of the dessert shop and ate the matcha cake to the fullest.
