I was really taken aback by K's sudden appearance, and a throbbing of uneasiness swelled in my heart, as if the situation was out of control, K walked to the last row of the bus and sat down, I didn't look back, but the air of "you can wander in peace" was completely destroyed by K's appearance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the slightly swaying carriage, K was "with us" again.

Although K's breath was steady when he walked in, I felt that K was a little different from usual, his usually neat school uniform looked very wrinkled today, and his hair was not carefully combed, but it was messy, and his eyes were empty when he walked to the last row, as if he was afraid of something.

The bus drove at a constant speed, and soon it entered the highway, and the Municipal Botanical Institute is an hour's journey from the city, and it is called the "Municipal Botanical Institute", which sounds like a research institute or a scientific and technological institute, but in fact it is a natural plant museum built in the middle of the mountain forest, and it is the feeling that you can blend in with the mountains and nature, so I am looking forward to it.

I don't know if it's a special project arranged by Uncle for us, since that day I applied to him for a "trip", I didn't get his consent at that time, I can understand, but now there must be this kind of activity arrangement must be the result of Uncle Uncle's best efforts.

Because K was with us, I had to start pretending to be natural with everyone, and silently hypnotizing myself that "K is just an ordinary classmate-"

When I woke up again, my destination had arrived.

"Hey, let's take a picture?"

Shui Jing took out her Polaroid camera from her backpack and shook it in front of everyone, only me, Momoi, Chiba Nori, Guanghui, Miyayama responded to her invitation, unexpectedly before pressing the shutter, Jin Chuan pulled Kihara into the camera lens together, Shui Jing saw Kihara also coming, and her face immediately flushed twice, I think this kind of scene Shui Jing must have looked forward to it many times, so I walked out of the camera and waved to Shui Jing.

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing? I'm going to shoot..."

She shouted.

"Come over and I'll take a picture of you."

I walked over to her and whispered in a low voice to her ear.

"Stand on the left."

Shui Jing looked over obediently, and Kihara stood on the left...

"-Xiaoxi, you're so annoying..."

The flush on Shui Jing's face became even thicker, and she slammed into my Nunu mouth, but she still stood in her preferred position on the left.

Just as I was about to press the shutter, a classmate came over.

"Liulixi, you can also go over and shoot, I'll shoot for you."

"This..."

"Don't 'this', stand up."

"-Hmm."

I handed the camera to the other person and walked back into the lens again.

"One, Two, Three - Eggplant"

"Click!"

The eight of us were frozen in the photo, and the brilliance was better than that of an idiot's scissorhands.

I wish there was only these simple goodness among us, but we all know in our hearts that those fears and insecurities are not really over. The gloom of "that place" continues to linger, and I don't know when it will stop...

Walking into the gate with stone pillars on both sides, we were surrounded by rich greenery and cicadas, and the humid air was accompanied by the fragrance of orchids from time to time, which was refreshing and comfortable, and under the guidance of Mr. Ikezawa and the staff of the Botanical Garden, we visited the main hall and the rare plant breeding ground, and the rest of the time was free and easy.

"Students, now everyone is free to visit, please gather in the main hall on time at six o'clock, and you are not allowed to be late."

Teacher Ikezawa ordered, and as soon as the words fell, everyone dispersed.

When Shui Jing pulled me to go to the main hall to take pictures, we were stopped by Jin Chuan.

"Hey, you two, take you guys to a nice place..."

Kanegawa took Shui Jing and me to a house with a windmill on the roof behind the botanical greenhouse, with a sign on the door that said "Naosheng", and I learned that it was a coffee house.

Kanegawa explained that this is a business place in his father's name, and with the help of the Botanical Garden, a large place of natural oxygen bar, he will create a warm and comfortable coffee house for the people who come to visit, and of course, this is also a contract with the Botanical Garden.

"My father's annual profit is also divided into a part of the botanical garden, so if he occupies other people's land, he should pay rent."

Jin Chuan stroked his short brown hair while flipping through the fashion magazines already on the table, presumably specially prepared for guests to kill time.

The shop is decorated with a pleasant air-conditioner, soft piano music, and an all-wooden structure, and you can smell the rich aroma of coffee mixed with pine and cream as soon as you step through the wooden door.

"Yukihiko, please give us three special juices and put ice cubes."

Jin Chuan beckoned to a handsome young man in his twenties at the bar, with a smile on his face that we had rarely seen.

"Huh? Ogawa, are you here? Welcome! ”

The guy named Yukihiko greeted me, and I understood at a glance that Jin Chuan was more interested in this kind of good-looking boys, so he smiled so "chic" just now.

After a while, Xingyan walked over with a tray, and the special juice in the tray was introduced by him as a juice drink made with a little addition to coffee, which was a good thing that he created privately and only dedicated to his friends, and Xingyan said that he did not find a job after graduation, and he has been taken care of by Jinchuan's father, so that he can take care of the coffee house here, and there will not be too many guests here, unless the botanical garden is busy when there are visits.

"There were almost no customers, so it was quite leisurely, so I took on the whole job of making coffee and serving the waiter."

Because of such generous treatment, the relationship between Yukihiko and Jin Chuan is also very good, but he finally emphasized that it was a friend relationship, and Jin Chuan pouted very dissatisfied.

"What, it's very intimate."

Shui Jing and I both let out a long "-oh", and then everyone laughed.

Yukihiko also sat down at the same table with us, and after chatting for a while, I realized that the main topic of Jinchuan's call to come here was related to the "lily of the valley puppet".

"Yukihiko, it's better for you to come and say."

"Hmm."

Yukihiko nodded, the ice water in his hand had just been drunk by him, he licked his lips and said.

"Speaking of that incident, I just thought it was very strange at first, but after talking to Ogawa, I realized that your class was so badly affected by that incident..."

――Affected by that incident?

- So serious?

"I remember when that guy came here a month ago, I heard him say that he came to an event held by the company, and as soon as he came in, he asked me if I had any alcohol, and I told him, 'Yes, yes, but the alcohol content is very low', and he said that no matter what should be a drink first, he looked very depressed, as if he had been hit hard, and I usually talk to customers or something, so I talked to him..."

The man's name is Hase, and he used to do interior painting, and the reason why he came to the current insurance company to change to insurance business is entirely because he touched something that he couldn't touch, so he refused to paint thousands of miles away, and never wanted to touch it again, and when he came into contact, he would have a terrible feeling of death, and Yukihiko asked him, "What is it that touched so badly-?" ”

Hase drank the wine from the cup in one gulp before speaking slowly.

A week ago, Haze was entrusted by a friend to go to a middle school to paint murals, school murals are rare, only the art academy may see some large murals, but since it was a friend's request, he had to help, to the designated place, after the friend explained the mural requirements, Haze only understood that he had promised a terrible thing, he regretted it at the time, but there was no way.

The middle school where Haze went to paint the mural was Shaojian Middle School.
