From this moment on, I could no longer hear any sound in my ears. The world seemed to stand still, but soon, a voice swept towards me from far and near.

I closed my eyes, and then, I heard the sound of fireworks.

The first second of the thirteen-year-old is accompanied by a firework.

Many years ago, not long after I was born, I was abandoned in the mailbox of the orphanage, and the person who abandoned me did not leave any message, but because the day I was abandoned, the first winter day of the year in Neil, the director took this day as my birthday.

I was the nineteenth child to come to this then-new orphanage. In his early years, the dean studied abroad for two years, and named me Lanting after the homonym of Nineteen. The director's surname is Su, and the children in the orphanage follow her surname.

My first name was Su Lanting, and Su Su was later changed.

I mention this past that I haven't mentioned specifically before, because I remember a boy in the orphanage at the time.

One day, more than half a year before the arrival of the thirteenth year, a new child came to the orphanage. During that time, I was preparing for the entrance exam, and I stayed late in the library every day. When I returned to the orphanage, I had already missed dinner time.

The student on duty that day was a girl named Su Xiao. Su Xiao is very tall and thin, and likes to hold her chest slightly like a Japanese girl when she speaks. When I walked into the restaurant, she blushed her cheeks and looked in the mirror and said, "I like you." ”

She uses the Japanese language she learned from me, and she learns the posture of the heroine in the hit drama, affectionately and devotedly. I stood behind her and she didn't notice it, she was intoxicated.

"Why do you like me so much?" I deliberately teased her, lowering my voice and speaking behind her.

"Huh?" She didn't understand, and she was stunned and came back to her senses. Seeing that I was teasing her, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and raised her hand to slap me on the arm.

She has a sturdy figure and a lot of strength, so I quickly hid far away. She glared at me, didn't catch up, turned around and went to the kitchen, and quickly brought out a lunch box: "Na, I left you a meal, eat it while it's hot." ”

"Thank you!" I sat down, looked at the portions, and was a little surprised, "So much?" ”

"Well, I originally made Su Ran's portion, but he said that he had dinner before coming over, so there was only two people's portions left." She spoke an unfamiliar name, and her eyes sparkled strangely.

"Who is Su Ran?"

"It's a newcomer." She held her heart, "Super good-looking newcomer!" ”

Su Ran, a super good-looking newcomer, was sent to the welfare home by a beautiful aunt who was dressed extraordinarily, and the beautiful aunt would come to visit him in the welfare home from time to time in the afternoon. No one knew about his past, and everyone was keenly aware that he wouldn't be here for long. But this did not prevent him from becoming a sought-after prince in the courtyard. Su Ran, a super-good-looking newcomer, captured the hearts of the female creatures in the hospital for only half a minute. A figure walking into the hall, a smiling face. Among them is Su Xiao, who speaks with his chest, but does not include me, who studied hard in order to go straight to the junior high school of Nier Academy.

"Lan Ting, Dean Su wants you to go to her office later." On this day, I had just finished a math paper, and in between a short break, a beautiful boy greeted me.

Although it is an unfamiliar face, it is not difficult to guess who it is.

Su Ran, the fallen prince in Su Xiao's mouth.

"Okay, thanks."

I don't want to waste time dealing with relationships. So the tone is detached.

"No thanks." The corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a nice curvature. Naturally, he sat down across from me, "What are you studying?" ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, opened the textbook of the language elective course, and began to memorize the words.

"You're studying Japanese." There was a pleasant power in his voice, "Xiaoxiao's Japanese is what you taught, she sounds good, Lanting, you taught it well." ”

He said to himself: "What should Hanabi say? ”

"I don't know."

"Impossible! Lanting you absolutely know! Su Xiao didn't know where she came from, standing in the position where Su Ran couldn't see her expression and showed me a fierce expression, I understand, this is a threat that if you don't cooperate, you won't be able to eat when you return late in the future.

Annoying. I took out the paper, wrote down the word, wrote it down with the romanized accent below, and handed it to Su Xiao.

"You teach him."

Su Xiao later described to me her mood at the moment: she was so happy that she was about to explode.

From that day on, my contact with Su Ran began to increase. I spent two more time studying in the courtyard, and when I was studying, Su Xiao was teaching Su Ran Japanese on the side. When Su Xiao can't figure it out, I'll do it. Time passed in a flash, and that summer I successfully passed the entrance examination and became a prospective student in the middle school of Neill College. In the fall, I entered junior high school, and I had a heavy amount of schoolwork, and I often studied late in the school study room before coming back, and Su Xiao and Su Ran would wait for me to go home on the way back to the hospital.

At the end of autumn, the day before the stage exam, I left school with my senior high school seniors, and when I returned to the orphanage, it was almost 12 o'clock.

Under the banyan tree in front of the orphanage, Su Ran stood tall.

"Xiaoxiao waited until you fell asleep." He laughs.

This kid turned around and blamed me for coming back too late.

I was too tired to reply, and was about to enter the door when he grabbed me.

"Don't go in yet." He said, "Come with me somewhere." ”

"Where are you going so late?"

"It's not far, but it's time to hurry." He pushed a bicycle out of the darkness behind him, and I recognized it as the dean's, and before he could say anything, he straddled it and said, "Get on." ”

I followed him into the car with an inexplicable expression, his slender legs glaring the bike at a rapid pace, and I grabbed the hem of his shirt with a thrill.

"Sit tight."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there."

The destination is the embankment of the Mozhi River. We got off the bus in the center of the embankment, and the autumn breeze was blowing, and the wealthy area across the river was singing and dancing.

Su Ran took out his watch and breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, I'm good to have arrived." ”

"What are you doing?" I was a little cold, wrapping up in my uniform jacket.

“3！ 2！ 1！ Happy Birthday!”

I turned my head to the inky black sky opposite, and a silver beam of light swayed upward, silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into huge fireworks. The various beams of light that followed it converged into a circle, enveloping it in clusters, and then bloomed one after another, and slowly fell like meteors, scattering dust.

"Happy Birthday! Lanting. ”

I turned around, and the fireworks illuminated Su Ran's good-looking face.

"Xiaoxiao heard that someone had a birthday opposite today, and planned to send you blessings here at zero o'clock, but she fell asleep first." Su Ran looked helpless, "In order to prevent Xiaoxiao from going berserk tomorrow, I had to bring the unhappy birthday star over." ”

As the finale of the birthday party, fireworks are a long-standing tradition in the affluent area.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "Thank you." ”

"No thanks." He smiled and said again, "I wish you a happy birthday, you will always be a college bully if you get excellent results in the exam tomorrow!" ”

"Lend you good words." I felt lighter.

Su Ran found a bench to sit down on at random, and then used a handkerchief to cushion the empty seat beside him, and then beckoned to me. I sat down with him, and it was a winter night, and we sat side by side watching the fireworks on the other side.

"I love fireworks." He spoke in Japanese. That's the first sentence he'll give.

I was silent for a moment and said, "Contrary to you, I don't like fireworks, this kind of fleeting thing is too hard to grasp." Especially this kind of fireworks that do not exist for themselves. ”

"But it's the fleeting thing that is called an opportunity." His side face still has beautiful and bright lines, and he turned his head to meet my eyes, "One day, we will meet the fireworks that belong to us and bloom only for us." Maybe we'll wait years for this, but when the time comes, even for a moment, I'll quickly hold it in my hands. ”

"Lanting, you can do it too."

The young man's eyes were bright, and clusters of fireworks bloomed.

His fireworks came quickly, and one day in late winter, he was picked up by someone in a black Lincoln. Su Xiao inquired for a long time, and told me one day at the end of the semester that Su Ran went to the other side of the Mozhi River, and he changed his surname to An Ran.

He became a true prince.

That was a long time in the past. At this moment, I was gently embraced by Yuichi Fujisawa in his arms, his breath wrapped around me, and his breath was in my ears. He bewitched me with his voice, saying:

"Susu, come to me."

Su Ran's voice surrounded his ears.

"One day, we will meet fireworks that belong to us and bloom only for us. Maybe we'll wait years for this, but when the time comes, even for a moment, I'll quickly hold it in my hands. ”

"Lanting, you can do it too."

How could I not know, this rich Mr. Fujisawa, he is the fleeting spark that has struck through my life.

My hands, a pair of hands hanging at my sides, slowly lifted.

However, I did not have the courage to hold him tightly.

I reached out and touched the fine fabric of Yuichi Fujisawa's shirt with my fingertips, and I pushed him away, took a few steps back, and then stood still. As the light darkened and the room dimmed, I couldn't see Yuichi Fujisawa's expression clearly, but it just relieved my tension. I straightened my back, and this movement I had done countless times before gave me courage.

"Mr. Fujisawa, thank you. I will wash the clothes and return them to you. I said, "It's not too early, I'll go home first." ”

I said this bad and immature sentence, turned and left. On the counter at the entrance, there is my lunch box, and I take it. Looking down, I saw the white canvas shoes I had taken off and Yuichi Fujisawa's black leather shoes side by side.

I put on my shoes and couldn't help but laugh at myself for the inappropriate outfit.

Familiar footsteps sounded behind him.

I turned around, and Fujisawa Yuichi walked towards me, his face was rarely expressionless, but his voice was still gentle: "Please let me send you." ”

I was about to refuse, but Yuichi Fujisawa had already put on his shoes, and he pushed open the door, sideways out of the way, and said to me, "Please." ”

With a dull pain in my heart, I walked past him with my head down. After that, he helped me fasten my seatbelt before getting into the car, and he focused on driving, and I was on pins and needles, and I didn't say anything all the way.

The car dealer got closer and closer to the place I agreed with Higashiyama, and I took a deep breath: "Mr. Fujisawa, I'm here, please stop here." ”

Yuichi Fujisawa parked as he was told.

Not daring to look at him, I opened the car door and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fujisawa." "I'm leaving.

"Susu." He whispered to me.

I was caught off guard and froze and stopped all my movements. He didn't make any more sounds, and in the cramped compartment, the sound of my heartbeat was amplified in my head, accompanied by the steady breathing of Yuichi Fujisawa behind me, both tormenting me.

It was as long as a century.

"Stay safe." He said.

"Thank you." I stepped out of the car, closed the door, and without any pause, I walked away slowly, and then, my pace got faster and faster, and finally, I trotted through the streets of Kyoto.

But when I sat in the Dongshan car, my emotions had calmed down.

"Sorry for the delay."

"You're serious." Dongshan cast a concerned look at me from the rearview mirror of the car, "I called you but no one answered, so I can't help but worry about you." It's good that you're okay. ”

I subconsciously touched my pocket, and immediately remembered that I was not wearing the original clothes, and looked through the bag where the dirty clothes were kept, but I didn't see the phone. I looked through it again to confirm that the phone was indeed missing. When did it disappear? When wrestling with Sho Matsubara? When you bumped into Yuichi Fujisawa? Or in Yuichi Fujisawa's car? I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember the last time I saw my phone.

"Mr. Sue?"

"I'm sorry." I clenched my pockets, "My phone is gone." ”

"What?" Dongshan, who was driving, turned his head sharply and immediately retracted his gaze, "Do you have any important information in your phone?" Linking a bank card account or something? ”

"Nope."

"Huh? Didn't you? He was a little surprised, but then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

For me, a mobile phone is just a communication tool. I don't have a habit of storing important information on my phone, and I don't have any linked accounts. It's just that this phone was a graduation gift from my former sponsor, and it has only been used for a few months. What's more, if I can't find my phone, I'm going to have to pay a sum of money to buy it, and that's what really hurts me.

I was annoyed, but there was a voice in my heart shouting: Maybe the phone was picked up by Yuichi Fujisawa? Go find him.

Go to Yuichi Fujisawa? I can't.

After today's incident, I never had the courage to face him again.

I leaned back, the soft backrest taking in my body, and I closed my eyes, trying to forget everything about today, but it was all coming at me uncontrollably.

In the darkness, Yuichi Fujisawa's breath seemed to be close to me again, his long breath, his bewitching voice, the temperature of his fingers, the light fragrance of his body, and the tenderness lingering between his lips and teeth was nostalgic. This is him, Yuichi Fujisawa, he is ......

I opened my eyes suddenly, rolled down all the windows, and the neon outside the car was on, and the car brought the summer night breeze, and the style of Kyoto in the night breeze gradually took away the breath of Yuichi Fujisawa.

To this day, I still remember the details of every moment.

There's a little secret buried in my heart that I've been caring for for years, waiting for the time to dissect it layer by layer. At the same time, I pretended to live as if this secret had never been a secret.

I think most of the time, I'm doing pretty well. But the closer I got to Yuichi Fujisawa, the more I couldn't restrain myself. Like this moment, I almost told the secret.

I'm willing to lose this opportunity to confess for a few more days with the guilt of guarding the secret.

As the twilight wore on, I closed the window.

After this night, Kyoto in July will also come to an end.
