Nozomi Echigo's matter is not very important now, they have been friends for a semester anyway, and they can almost be said to be inseparable, and at this time, the sudden estrangement will definitely cause a lot of strange things, so let's take it slowly.

Holding the bread she bought from the shop, Kitagawa slowly climbed to the balcony on the top floor. I tried to push the door on the balcony, but sure enough, it was not locked.

There is also a platform on the balcony that you can climb up, and you can see almost the entire campus from the top of it. As for whether you can see clearly, that's not an important detail.

Biting the bread bag, Kitagawa Ai rubbed her hands, climbed up the stairs, and finally stood on the top platform, she looked at the endless imperial light and took a deep breath. If I'm not mistaken, the first time we met, was here, right?

I still remember that at that time, she was just standing on the edge, holding on to the railing and blowing the wind, and the boy with a bright smile stopped her in a panic and said-Classmate, don't think about it!

"Classmate, don't think about it!"

Ryota Kase just took advantage of the noon time, avoiding the enthusiastic female classmates, running to the balcony to blow the wind, and taking a nap in the sun by the way, as a result, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a silver-haired girl standing on the edge of the balcony platform, she raised her head slightly, and her half-closed eyes could be seen on the side face exposed, her pink lips were pursed into a straight line, and the whole person was under the sunlight, there was a sense of transparency, as if the next second was going to give birth to wings from behind, spread her wings and fly.

At that moment, he didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, so he shouted that sentence directly to the girl.

Ai Kitagawa's body stiffened, she felt that she must have had auditory hallucinations, otherwise how could she read that sentence directly? Shaking his head, he continued to squint his expression slightly, looking at the clear sky, and his mood seemed to have become much better.

"That classmate? Are you okay? ”

The voice behind him, who was unwilling to be ignored, sounded again, and Kitagawa Ai slowly put down his hand on the railing and turned his head to look.

"I'm just blowing the wind, do you have any comments?"

Huang Se Liang felt that he shouldn't be curious, and looked at the girl on the stage, her eyes obviously suspected that he was a snake spirit disease!

Bah! He's not a snake spirit! He is obviously a good boy who cares about the girl who is about to jump off the building, how can he be seen as a snake spirit disease?

"Ahaha, it turns out that you're blowing the wind, so don't stand in such a dangerous place, you see it's easy to fall down here." Ryota Huang Se touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

The silver-white girl with long hair had a wooden face, and looked condescendingly at the young man with a bright smile and no embarrassment: "There is a railing here." ”

After speaking, she jumped off the stage, turned her back to Huang Se, held her bread, and ate it sparsely.

Huang Se, who felt disgusted, touched his nose uncomfortably, and didn't intend to stay here to be boring, so he simply turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

"Now."

The girl behind her suddenly made a cold and hard voice, and Ryoshi Huang turned around strangely.

"The weather is good, don't you want to come up and bask in the sun?"

The girl's voice is not delicate at all, unlike ordinary girls, the tail note is upturned, like a coquettish kind. Her voice gave him the feeling as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, with a hint of stiffness in her tone and tone. The ghost made the god worse, Huang Se nodded, climbed onto the platform, walked to a certain distance from the girl, and sat directly on the ground.

He closed his golden brown eyes slightly, felt the warm breeze, and the intense heat of the sun shining on his body, and suddenly, he felt a sense of drowsiness.

Kitagawa Ai silently finished eating the bread in her hand, because her posture and movements were too stiff, and the bread that she didn't eat with water almost made her choke. She blushed and pounded her right hand into her chest with a fist, trying to swallow the clump of bread that didn't go up and down.

"Doom!"

The sudden hiccup made Ai Kitagawa cover her mouth as if she was shocked, and she turned her head mechanically to look at her side. The young man two meters away was lying on his back with his hands behind his head at this time, looking at the slightly raised corners of his mouth, as if he was in a sweet dream.

I fell asleep

Beichuan Ai slowly got up and patted the dust behind him, and the feeling of restraint finally disappeared slowly like a low tide.

This person still likes to appear so abruptly and not say hello.

Her gaze fell on the boy's face, then moved downward, finally resting on his ankle.

[Huang Se-kun can't play basketball anymore. 】

That sentence has always been deeply imprinted in her heart and cannot be erased. When she learned from the Internet that Huang Sejun put down the basketball for some reason, she once again got into a dead end.

If she hadn't gone abroad with her, and had willfully chosen to prove her life, and hadn't told lies and deceived herself because of the inferiority complex buried in her heart, wouldn't something like this happen to Huang Se-kun?

Maybe this wasn't related to her, but she subconsciously stopped the responsibility on herself, as if only by taking these responsibilities would her guilt be reduced.

"This time I must make you happy to play."

>>>

Just for a while, Beichuan Ai's desktop has piled up several application forms for club changes. She lowered her chin-propped hand, reached into the drawer, took out a blank application form for the club, and stared at the blank bar above.

In the past, she didn't have a club, but later, under the influence of Midorima and Purple Plains, she gradually became interested in basketball, and strangely discovered that she had a talent that was completely different from ordinary people. In the end, at the invitation of Seijuro Akaji, he became the only manager in the basketball club other than Momoi May who could enter the game.

Seishiro Akaji is a person who is extremely sensitive both emotionally and intellectually, and he is also the first person to discover her thoughts about Huang Se, but because the feeling of being seen through is too distinct, Kitagawa Ai does not dare to be in front of him, and has too much closeness to Huang Se, so he is worried that the other party will say, 'The intention is unknown, and the order to retreat'.

After all, Akaji at that time was not only the head of the Diguang Basketball Department, but also the student president of the entire Diguang Middle School, so it can be said that no one could say no in front of him except for the teacher.

And even if it's a teacher, it's rare to go against Akaji's wishes. For they often bow down to his irrefutable words and impeccable manners before they find themselves obeying Akaji's commands.

The time to return is too short, and at this moment, Ai Kitagawa didn't sort out her thoughts at all, she felt that she still needed time to think, and she needed to figure out the reason why she was reversed by time and space, and the purpose and reason why she came back here.

"Ai-chan? It's out of class, what are you still doing? ”

A slender palm shook in front of Kitagawa Ai's eyes, and the delicate tail note had a coquettish atmosphere unique to Japanese girls.

Beichuan Ai raised her head, the bangs on her forehead shook, obviously not as long as her eyebrows, but it seemed that at that moment, she covered her cold gaze.

"Nozomi? Hey? Already out of school? The silver-haired girl looked at the half-empty classroom in surprise, and the students left in twos and threes, each with a big smile on their faces.

Echigo Nozomi pulled the schoolbag on her shoulder, leaned next to Kitagawa Ai, and held her arm while rubbing and coquettish: "Yes, I'm going to participate in club activities, just now the minister sent a message, saying that he was going to report on the first day of school, and by the way, we would have dinner together in the evening, what about you?" What are the arrangements? ”

"I don't know yet." Kitagawa Ai's hand gently placed on the table, blocked the blank club application form, and looked at the other girl, "Is Limei also going to participate in club activities?" ”

Sarufei Limei nodded, shaking her head and looking at her fingers that had just been painted with pink nail polish, "Look~ It's not good-looking." ”

"Maybe your president will like it." Kitagawa Aido, Sarufei Limi is from the COS club.

"In that case, let's go first, Ai-chan, be careful on your own road~" Nozomi Echigo pouted and reluctantly let go of Kitagawa Ai's arm, and then took Sarufei Limi. The two waved at Beichuan Ai and left the classroom of Class B together.

After maintaining the noise for dozens of minutes, the noisy school building tends to calm down, and the next place that becomes lively will become the social office of the club.

Ai Kitagawa, who was sitting in the first row of the first row in the classroom, sighed deeply and lay on the table with her blank brain, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Are you holding up a corpse, Kitagawa Ai."

The cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and the girl lying on the table trembled, and after a few seconds, she raised her head with a resentful face and looked at the person who spoke: "The fake is going to be scared by you to be true." ”

"Hehe, Shintaro, your friend is so interesting."

A voice like a spring breeze suddenly broke into Kitagawa Ai's ears, she quickly shifted her gaze, looking at the figure that could not be ignored by Midorima's side, the boy with short red hair, and a pair of eyes similar to her, looking at her with a little smile on his face: "I haven't introduced it well in the previous meetings, hello, I'm Seishiro Akaji from Class A, and Shintaro is a friend of the basketball club." ”

Groove !!

Ai Kitagawa almost burst out with a dirty word, she looked at the boy in front of her with a soft face in amazement, and was instantly startled by his gentle tone and approachable attitude.

This is Akaji?

This is the frozen volcano Akaji in her memory?

This is the legendary Akaji who can't be cured of repeated episodes of secondary diseases?

This is the king of the emperor who can't refuse it?

She felt like she needed to wash her eyes with dish soap urgently!

Beichuan Ai covered her chaotic brain with one hand, and a brilliant and dazzling smirk appeared on her face: "What's the matter, I've always heard Dun Jiang talk about you, the first time we met, please advise me, my name is Beichuan Ai, you can call me Beichuan directly." ”

"Kitagawa." Seijuro Akaji replied with kindness, "You can also call me by my name." ”

You can also call me by name

You can call me by my name too?!

Is such a gentle, handsome boy really Akaji?!

"Of course, Akaji." Kitagawa laughed.

A glimmer of light flashed in Seishiro Akaji's eyes, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone and attitude were extraordinarily gentle: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kitagawa." ”

Midorima Shintaro, who was standing on the side, unconsciously shook his shoulders, looking at two people who were about the same height, with similar smiles and similar eyes, and always felt that something was wrong.

He stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose and opened his mouth to interrupt the atmosphere between the two that seemed to be a friendly meeting between the leaders of the two countries: "Xiao Ai, I'm going to a club activity, you can go home by yourself, is it okay?" ”

Kitagawa Ai then took his eyes away from the pair of red eyes that were very similar to herself, but more restrained, and fell on Midorima: "Okay, don't worry, if someone dares to do something, I will definitely make him unable to take care of himself for the rest of his life." ”

As he spoke, his left hand clenched into a fist, and a flat smile appeared on his face, but the teeth that seemed to be reflecting made Midorima silently swallow the words that followed: "That's good, since you can do it yourself, then Akaji and I will go first." ”

"Walk slowly~Be careful not to twist your feet when playing~"

Ai Kitagawa, who was standing at the door of the classroom, waved her hand in a friendly manner, and smiled back at Akaji, who nodded politely to her. It wasn't until the two slowly walked away that her smile faded.

In fact, it stands to reason that she had only heard of Akaji in the first grade, but she had heard of his name for a long time and had not seen him. When I really got to know this person, it was naturally after Midorima became the vice-captain.

At that time, Akaji and today's gentle and polite Akaji don't seem to be the same person.

Her impression of Akaji has always stayed on, domineering, strong, not to be refused, and the city is extremely deep, some of which others have sued her, and some of them have been felt by herself. And in reality, she had never tried what that real Akaji was like after being stripped of these superficial labels.

A sneer appeared on Ai Kitagawa's pretty face, as if mocking herself.

In fact, she can't be compared to Akaji at all, right? Even in the eyes of the teacher, Akaji, who is at the top of the list of 10,000 years, and Kitakawa, who is the second in 10,000 years, have always been so similar people. But she wasn't as sincere as Akaji. A lot of the time, she is disguised to make everyone like it.

Admitting one's own falsehood is really a self-respecting thing.

Shaking his head, Ai Kitagawa returned to the classroom, packed up his things, and prepared to leave the school.

There were still a few groups of classmates lingering on the campus, Beichuan Ai carried his schoolbag and shook his steps slowly, walking slowly to the door, his eyes followed the discussions of the people on the side, and moved to the handsome boy standing at the door, with a rigorous face.

Eh——??

"Kitagawa."

The chestnut-haired boy has a slender body, and a thin gold-rimmed glasses frame the bridge of his nose, covering the eyes that can't see through the outline, and the expressionless appearance and the refrigeration breath he carries are unbelievable.

Why is Kunimitsu Tezuka here?

Ai Kitagawa walked up to him with a blank face, looking at him with red eyes in disbelief.

Obviously, until Tezuka Kunimitsu went to high school, she had never been to her school. They really got acquainted with each other when she was in her third year of high school.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Ai Kitagawa, who can only use an expressionless face to hide the fluctuations in her heart, even her tone seems restrained.

Tezuka's gaze moved to the petite girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but scold, is his expression too cold to make this girl look like this? Uncle Ming said that Kitagawa Ai is a very laughing and sociable person. And the title 'elder brother' is not the shogunate period now, is it?

Thinking that his subordinates were often frightened by his condensed appearance, Tezuka couldn't help but slow down his expression, and tried to make his tone a little gentle: "Uncle asked me to pick you up from school, I don't know your phone number and class, I'm waiting for you here." ”

Obviously feeling that the temperature around her body was a little higher, Kitagawa Ai's stiff expression softened, she looked at Tezuka in surprise, and asked strangely: "If you don't know my number, you can ask my father, what if you can't wait for me?" ”

Seemingly not knowing how to answer this question, Kunimitsu Tezuka pushed his glasses: "I didn't wait long, and you came out." ”

“”

Kunimitsu Tezuka is still so upright and cute.

Tezuka was relieved to see the smile on Ai Kitagawa's face, after all, his uncle had told him not to scare her, judging from Xiao Ai's natural attitude at this moment, he shouldn't have to try his uncle's mustard-flavored sashimi when he went back, right?

"Let's go."

"Yes." Kitagawa loves to put on a slightly restrained and somewhat shy smile. She followed Tezuka's side closely, asking boring questions from time to time, and the two of them had been in a state of 'I ask three questions and you will answer one', which was extremely harmonious.

In fact, it's not that Tezuka doesn't want to ask and answer, but every time he is not ready to say something, Ai Kitagawa automatically moves on to the next topic. Gradually, he understood that the other party didn't really want to know something, but wanted to use his own way to ease the atmosphere between the two of them.

Tezuka didn't know that what he thought was a good attitude was no different for Ai Kitagawa, because Ai Kitagawa had long been accustomed to Kunimitsu Tezuka's calm and self-controlled attitude, so he naturally didn't care what Tezuka thought in his heart.

Ai Kitagawa glanced sideways at Toshihide Tezuka's side and sighed softly in her heart.

After all, they have been together day and night for so many years as a brother and sister, and Ai Kitagawa should be regarded as the only person who knows him deeply except for Tezuka's parents and grandfather. And in addition, there is no blood relationship between the two, Kitagawa Ai has been more careful to find out his personality and hobbies under the polite and cautious attitude towards this brother.

"Doesn't my brother have to participate in club activities today? I heard you're from the tennis club. ”

Ai Kitagawa's question made Tezuka's movements pause, perhaps because when it came to his interest, he inevitably said more: "Just call me brother." After receiving a text message from my mother today, I asked for leave, how do you know that I am from the tennis club? ”

"Uh" Kitagawa Ai, who didn't expect to change his name for a while, choked for a moment, directly ignored the sentence and continued, "Because my father occasionally mentioned it." ”

"Yes." Tezuka nodded, "Tennis is a good sport. ”

As he spoke, he looked down at the girl next to him and said that she was petite, but it was just a compliment, although the general height of Japanese women was not tall, but for their Tezuka family, Ai Kitagawa was like an enlarged version of the doll, and it was not an exaggeration to use the word short.

"You need to exercise more to grow taller."

Kitagawa tilted his head: "But I don't know how to play tennis, I heard that skipping rope can also grow taller, or do yoga?" ”

"Diguang's basketball club is very famous." Tezuka pointed pointedly, "You may be able to use the women's basketball club, and it is okay to exercise occasionally." ”

"Why don't you recommend me to join the school's tennis club?" Ai Kitagawa asked curiously, "If my brother likes tennis so much, shouldn't I want everyone to know about this sport?" ”

"You're not good at tennis, and you're too poor in fitness." Tezuka Kunimitsu mercilessly pointed out his thoughts, he paused, and added again, "It's okay to call me brother, don't be so restrained." ”

Beichuan Ai, who was pierced through the heart by 'poor physical fitness', was stunned, and then regained his original state, stroked his chest, and looked at Tezuka with flaming red eyes: "You won't be able to find a girlfriend and marry a wife in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter." Tezuka said very calmly.

In fact, in the future, there will be a sister Iko who will play the Titanic to hit this iceberg, and Ai Kitagawa is not worried at all that her words will turn into prophecies.

"Mother, father, I'm back."

Kunimitsu Tezuka, who was the first to open the door, shouted towards the room. Ai Kitagawa stood behind Tezuka, blocked by his wide figure, and heard his aunt's gentle voice before he saw anyone.

"Kunimitsu is back? Did you take Xiao Ai over? ”

Standing behind Tezuka, Ai Kitagawa, who was hiding in the shadows and changing her indoor shoes, raised her head and spoke: "I'm here, aunt." ”

Tezuka Ayana listened to Kitagawa Ai's voice in surprise, and hurriedly pulled her son who had just stepped on the indoor floor away, revealing the girl behind him, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face: "Oh, little love, you look more and more cute, your hair is so long and straight, it's really enviable, why do I think you're a little thin?" Eat more at dinner, I remember when you came with Guoxin before, you were meaty, how do you feel like you're skinny now? Didn't Guoxin let you eat well? ”

As soon as Tezuka Ayana's complaint was finished, a slender figure came out behind her, and retorted with a smile: "I let Xiaoai eat the most nutritious things every day, sister-in-law, I don't recognize you when you say this about me." ”

Ai Kitagawa, who was still standing in the entrance, was full of entanglement, because Tezuka Ayana's hand holding her face never let go, and she seemed to like this feeling very much, so she could only turn her eyes to her father for help.

Tezuka Kunishin looked at her daughter's shackled but didn't dare to be dissatisfied, a little comfort flashed in her heart, and she heard a voice before she could speak.

"Mother, let Beichuan come up first."

Standing aside and watching his mother pull this little cousin still, Tezuka Kunimitsu took the initiative to open his mouth to relieve the siege.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ayana Tezuka was surprised by her son's speech, Kitagawa Ai quickly stepped on her slippers, jumped indoors with her schoolbag, and struggled to position her balance before she almost fell, looking at the side Tezuka Kunimitsu stretched out half of her hand, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled extraordinarily brightly: "Thank you." ”

Tezuka Kunishin was a little surprised by Tezuka Kunimitsu's attitude, his little nephew's temperament, although he didn't experience a little, but how much he heard his brother and sister-in-law complain, too cold and strict, sometimes more icebergs, there is a feeling that no one can get close, in the summer it is definitely the perfect storage of the refrigerator, in winter, it must be the phenomenon of who sees and who hides.

Tezuka Kunimitsu has never taken the initiative to contact girls, because in his cognition, there are only two kinds of women, one is a mother and the other is a woman. They were also worried that if Tezuka Kunimitsu maintained the current situation, would he not be able to marry a wife in his thirties in the future?

And now it seems that there is clearly a good candidate in front of him.

This thought only flashed in Tezuka's mind for a second, and then he was thrown aside, because in his heart, his daughter's own will was more important than anything else. And Tezuka Ayana began to change her perspective to look at this little niece.

"Xiao Ai, go upstairs to see grandpa first, he is waiting for you in the study."

Tezuka Kunishin went up and took Kitagawa Ai's schoolbag, rubbed her hair and said.

"Okay."

Kitagawa Ai grinned: "Auntie, elder brother, I'll go up first." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he ran towards the study. Leaving her father, Tezuka Kunishin, shook her head helplessly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaoai was a little pampered by me, so frizzy." ”

Tezuka Ayana shook her head and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Xiao Ai's character is very real, laugh when you're happy, cry when you're unhappy, it's good." ”

"Hehe, it's good that my sister-in-law doesn't blame me. Guoguang, do you want to have one? ”

"Okay."

>>>

The second floor and the first floor are like two worlds, if the first floor of Tezuka House is like the architectural decoration of a modern ordinary family, then the second floor is a combination of various Japanese and ancient styles, except for some electrical appliances used in modern supplies, other aspects are used in favor of Tang style decoration.

There are two study rooms on the second floor, one is a study room for grandfather, and the other is a study shared by Uncle and Guoguang.

Kitagawa Ai knocked on the door of one of the doors, knocking rhythmically three times, and only after it calmed down did he hear a sound from the room.

Softly 'come in', but there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you." Kitagawa pushed open the door and stood at the door and spoke politely.

After a long time, the sound of falling chess sounded in the empty room, followed by the deep voice of Grandpa Tezuka: "Come in and play chess with me." ”

"Okay."

Turning around and closing the door, Beichuan Ai slowly walked to the low table, the slippers touched the floor but did not make any sound, and approached quietly, but the old man sitting at the table raised his head a second before approaching.

"Sit."

Although the old man's temples were gray, he seemed to be in good spirits, and he nodded to the opposite position, and after speaking softly, he gradually stopped talking.

Kitagawa sat down obediently, his eyes focused on the endgame on the table in the middle, thoughtful.

Grandpa Tezuka's only hobby after retiring from the Metropolitan Police Department is playing Go, and even with his son, his grandson knows a little bit about Go, at least when he is bored, he can pull his family to play a game. Even with Kitagawa Ai, he was also quite influenced by Kuniichi Tezuka, and he also studied a little bit in Go.

I think she Beichuan loves the club that she wants to go to the most before entering the basketball club, which is the Go club.

Grandpa Tezuka reached out and took a white chess piece, landed somewhere on the board, and then withdrew his hand again, clubbing his chin and thinking.

Kitagawa Ai glanced at this game of chess, felt particularly familiar, and didn't say much, picked up a black piece and landed on the edge of the white chess.

Grandpa Tezuka's gaze sharpened a little, and he immediately played chess again as if he had received a response, and fell.

Kitagawa Ai was not to be outdone, and after looking at the overall situation, he grabbed a chess piece and landed somewhere.

The two of you went back and forth a few times, and in the end, Kitagawa Ai took the initiative to admit defeat.

She didn't let the chess, because Grandpa Tezuka's eyes were extremely sharp, and she could see the strength of the chess player at a glance, and she didn't hide her strength, but she still lost to Grandpa Tezuka, who had a lot of experience than her, by one and a half.

Grandpa Tezuka picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard, picked up all the white pieces into the box, closed the lid, and then raised his head to look at Ai Kitagawa who was still loading the chess pieces: "Your chess skills have improved, but you are quite impatient, has anything happened recently?" ”

Smack.

A sunspot fell from the crack in his hand and smashed on the chessboard, Beichuan Ai picked up the chess piece casually, put it in his hand and stroked it gently: "I encountered a little something, maybe I just need to figure it out a few times." ”

Returning to the present day after more than a decade is not a small thing, right? She didn't want to hide her experience, but she also knew that even if she said it, it would not help, it would only add to everyone's worries, and she couldn't think of any solution. And when this kind of thing is said, how many people will believe it? If it was her father, he would probably only think she had a nightmare.

"If you need help, just say it."

Grandpa Tezuka touched the chess cover and laughed softly.

"I'm not polite~" Beichuan said with a smile, and after picking up all the sunspots, he also covered them, "Let's go, grandpa, father, they must be waiting for you." ”

"I think you're greedy."

Grandpa Tezuka smiled kindly.

The grandfather and grandson went out together and walked towards the kitchen.

The wide kitchen is brightly lit, everyone's face is a little soft, Tezuka Ayana is the most enthusiastic, and he tries to let Kitagawa love to eat more, Tezuka Kuniharu and Tezuka Kunimitsu's personalities are exactly the same, they are both extraordinarily iceberg, but the only difference is that when Tezuka Kuniharu faces his wife, whether it is his expression, even his eyes are soft as if he can get tired of water, so that no matter how many times he looks at it, Kitagawa Ai can't adapt to it.

And Tezuka Kunishin's character doesn't know who he looks like, gentle as water, as if only the word warm as jade can describe him like this.

Tezuka Ayana also wants to invite Kunishin and Kitagawa Ai to stay overnight, but Kitagawa Ai refuses. She brackezed her spirits and had a rather muddy day, and she also wanted to have her own space to ponder what to do. And that warm family seems to be so happy that people can't get involved.

Sitting in the car, Kitagawa Ai waved goodbye to the Tezuka family, and then leaned on the back of the chair, squinting slightly at the passing scenery outside the window.

"Xiao Ai, you are today" Tezuka Kunishin suddenly spoke, but she paused to herself, and Kitagawa Ai turned her head to look at her father. He drank a small cup of bamboo leaves today, and his originally fair face was a little red, although he was not drunk yet, but his words carried a little impulse that he usually didn't have.

"Father."

Ai Kitagawa suddenly interrupted Tezuka Kunishin's words, and after attracting his attention, he hesitated for a moment before revealing a somewhat bleak smile: "Father, do you miss him?" ”

The hand holding the steering wheel curled up violently, so tight that even the green tendons on the back of the hand jumped out, and the face that was still a little drunk and flushed was now pale and terrifying.

"I'd love to."

Ai Kitagawa withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look out the window at the scenery again, trying to calm herself down with the inanimate thing.

"Fool, who wouldn't want to."

When she got out of the car, Ai Kitagawa seemed to hear Kunishin Tezuka say this in her ear, and her tone was like an auditory hallucination.

But she raised her head, her red eyes looked at Tezuka Kunishin's appearance, her face was still a little pale, but her slightly pursed lips finally had a little blood.

A dull ache flashed through her heart, but she tried to ignore it. Bow your head and silently wipe away the tears that flowed out of the corners of your eyes. She may have been stimulated today, right? Or is it not only the body that has become smaller, but even the mind has become childish? was made a little unwilling by the happy atmosphere of the Tezuka family.

But it wasn't easy for her father for so many years, so why should she blame him for something that couldn't be avoided? And why provoke him with such a thing?

"I'm sorry, father."

Closing the door, Kitagawa Ai leaned against the door, lowered his head, and apologized to the man standing in the living room.

Tezuka Kunishin sighed, and the sound was especially noticeable in the quiet house. He walked over, put his hand on Ai Kitagawa's head, and rubbed it gently, "No need to apologize, I understand." Go take a shower and go to bed early, you have to go to school tomorrow. ”

"Got it, father."

Beichuan Ai returned to his room with his schoolbag, and after cleaning himself up, he lay straight on the bed in a daze with the quilt.

Reaching out and turning off the headlights in the room, only a small dim lamp at the head of the bed remained, and the soft light brought out a bit of warmth in the room.

It's finally time to think about it.

Ai Kitagawa took a heavy breath and exhaled slowly, staring at the ceiling with bright eyes, stunned.

Why did she come from more than ten years later, to this time?

It seems to go back to the time when Qiē has not even begun, what is this subtle euphoria, unease, and panic?

She is not a complaining person, although it is a pity that she was not with the person she likes, but it is undeniable that the other party in the later stage, it is like becoming a cinnabar mole, which falls firmly in her heart.

When he graduated from high school and went to study in Germany, he followed Tezuka Kunimitsu and always followed him as the assistant manager of the tennis team.

Whenever Tezuka Kunimitsu wins the championship, she will fantasize in her heart, can she let him, let them, and make the Miracle Era back together when she is by her side?

She never thought about the assumption of 'if you do it all over again', because she understands that the so-called reality is that the established facts cannot be changed, and you can only try to fight for the future.

So when she really encountered this kind of 'do it all over again' situation, she felt extremely caught off guard.

Is she really able to grasp this pie-in-the-sky opportunity, and whether she can make good use of it?

In fact, she thought about it so much, but in the end, it wasn't because there was such a possibility that she was shaking herself?

But what if you do it all over again, you still can't do it? Even once, she still couldn't get these people who were so important in her life from getting hurt?

However, she was really unwilling.

Do you want to try again?

A stupid smile suddenly appeared on Ai Kitagawa's face.

What, it's a joke.

She folded her hands across her eyes, blocking out all light outside.

Obviously, she never gave up her efforts to love.

Without warning, tears slid down her hair and wet the pillow.

Why is she called 'Love'? Is it because even her father knows that she has been so eager for this word all her life? No matter how much she deceived herself, she couldn't escape the word?

How many times did she tell herself that she wanted to give up, to forget, and to use time to heal it, but in the inadvertent recollection again and again, she let the shallow traces become scars that could not be concealed? Her unwillingness, her unwillingness, she couldn't tell anyone, she could only swallow it in her stomach and digest it slowly.

She wiped her eyes, sniffed on her dry nose, got up and turned off the bedside light, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Why like so many? It's okay to go with the flow, and you can do whatever you want.

Isn't what she should be thinking about most now about how to avoid the tragedy of the past? She regrets so many things, and there are so many things she wants to redeem, instead of thinking about it here, it's better to work hard!

The girl on the bed had long silky white hair, a crying and laughing expression on her face, and a few unwiped tears in the corners of her eyes.
