On that night, Su Shang came to the mountain to attend the banquet as promised, with Chunyin.

Not in the posture of a god, but in the posture of a human, wearing that pale pink kimono and wearing that fox mask.

The monsters already knew Su Shang's identity, but that night, no one mentioned it, and it seemed that Su Shang was a monster.

Frolic and laughter filled the banquet.

It's just that Su Sheng saw that in the largest banquet shed, there was an empty seat, and in the wine cup there, there was a petal of a golden wood tree.

……

It's been a week since the clutch.

The weather in Kyoto is getting warmer, and many students at the Sakurai campus have taken off their toshi uniforms and started wearing their summer uniforms.

However, Su Shang is still the decoration of winter clothes.

It's not because Su Sheng is troublesome, but because he still can't forget Qingxia's departure in his mind.

"Natsume, although it's rude to say that, but you guys are getting more and more fond of being in a daze, and you guys haven't changed their summer clothes in the whole class!"

After eating during the lunch break, Shota looked at Su Shang, who was sitting in a daze out the window, and said.

"Huh? Oh. ”

"Hey, can you please not look like this."

"That's how I usually do, isn't it?"

Su Shang looked back at Shota again, and then moved his gaze to the cherry blossoms flying in the sky.

It's the beginning of May, and the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are in full bloom, and even the cherry blossoms that are already in full bloom on the Sakurai campus are becoming more and more beautiful.

Sakura blowing snow, it's like pink snow.

Thought so in his head.

"I really can't help you guy, Sister Shuiyu and Sister Tuyu must have a headache like this."

Because Xiangtai, who was a little speechless by Su Shang's words, after being silent for a long time, he held his forehead and said helplessly.

"Natsume, what's bothering you? I always feel like you've been a little different since you came back from your homestay. ”

Wen'er held a few photos in her hand. and put it on Su Shang's table.

This is a photo of a thin layer of golden snow falling on the ground.

Su Shang looked at the photo, and her eyes were always on the branches of the golden tree.

He won't forget. There, Qingxia disappeared in his arms.

"Thank you, Wen'er. How much? ”

The photos were taken by Wen'er with a camera at the time, and when she was flipping through the photos, Su Sheng saw this one and asked to help wash it out.

The content of a stack of photos is the same, Su Sheng will leave one, and the rest will be given to the little monk of Qingshi.

"It doesn't matter if it's a photo, after all, I washed it out myself, so I didn't spend any money. It's just that you're really okay? ”

"Well, it's okay, it's just a pity that I didn't see this scene."

"Speaking of which, where did you go at that time, you disappeared early in the morning."

"Well, let's go sleep in a quiet place."

"It's a lie, okay, it's suspicious!"

……

At night, Su Shang came to the mountains again, in order to send the photos to the monsters.

Before leaving, he came to the golden tree that had become withered, and looked at the lifeless golden wood in a daze for a long time. For a long time.

Unlike those photos, behind the photos in his hands, there is a sentence.

'It's beautiful. This golden powder snow to see with you. ’

Next to this sentence, there is a golden golden wood flower.

……

Two days later, in the morning, Su Shang was on her way to school.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

Su Shang, who was tugging at his collar, raised his head to look at the sun, and complained in his head.

His school uniform is still a winter uniform.

"Ah, good morning, Natsume-kun."

"Early."

Because of the heat, Su Shang looked more and more listless and unmotivated, even when he met Yu Hirasawa on the way to school, the tone of greeting was the same.

Yu Hirasawa held half of the mineral water in his hand, and in the other hand he held a mouthful of bread that he had eaten.

Probably breakfast.

"Isn't Natsume-kun hot?"

After seeing that Su Sheng was still dressed in a foreign suit. Hirasawa asked curiously.

"It's hot."

"Yes, yes. I think it would be nice to change into a summer dress. ”

"It's so troublesome, although the water royal will help me prepare clothes or something. But if you think about it, you still need to adapt to the short sleeves and the thin fabric of the summer clothes when you wear summer clothes. ”

"This, that's it."

"I always have the idea of 'let's change it', but when I think about those two points, I feel troublesome, so I want to wait until the heat can't stand it."

"But, but in this case, it will be very uncomfortable, but it's good to know that Natsume-kun didn't change his summer clothes for this reason."

"Huh?"

"Ah, actually, because Natsume-kun, you haven't changed your summer clothes, so there are a lot of strange rumors, although they are all guessed by everyone, but I always feel that there is really such an idea."

"That's right."

It's not so much that Su Shang cares about those rumors, but that Natsume at this time only cares about what he has to spend in the heat today.

"It's still Natsume-kun."

However, Yu Hirasawa's strange tone and what he said suddenly made him care.

"What's wrong?"

"No, because you weren't weird before, were you? We're all worried, and even though you say it's because you didn't see the strange golden tree blossoming, you don't feel like it's so. ”

With that, Yu Hirasawa swallowed the bread in one gulp, unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip.

After swallowing the water, he continued, "But now that we think about it, after all, Natsume-kun is a very reliable person although he doesn't usually talk much and doesn't do much to do things. ”

"Water, can I take a sip?"

Su Sheng didn't answer Hirasawa You's words immediately, but looked at the mineral water in her hand and said.

"Ah, if you don't mind."

"That's great, I seem to have completely underestimated the heat."

After receiving the mineral water, Su Shang said very gratefully.

After unscrewing the mineral water and taking a few sips, Su Sheng showed a lively expression.

But at this time, he also noticed that Yu Hirazawa's cheeks had become slightly red for some time.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, just thinking about the question just now."

"yes, I'm sorry to worry you, I just thought about something."

"That's it."

"Is the minister uncomfortable?"

"No, no, because it's hot."

"Well, take a sip of water, it's cool."

Su Shang smiled and handed the mineral water in his hand to Yu Hirasawa.

Yu Hirazawa's face became even redder when he looked at the mineral water, and his beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

"My Natsume, you idiot!" (To be continued)
