I walked to the front of the apartment building with the door closed.

The apartment has a curfew at 11 o'clock every night, and I found my phone in my bag, and the monitor showed that the current time was 8:45.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Hibino, the apartment administrator, finally decided to get married after being picky about her discerning son in middle age, and Mrs. Hibino was overjoyed and took a long vacation to go home to take care of the wedding, and left this morning. I can't expect any kind lady in this building to open the door for me.

What's more, it's obvious that this is another trick played by my good roommate Tomomi Nagasawa.

Did she use such childish means to force me to sleep in the park outside the school, but I didn't let her get her way.

I turned around and walked back and stood on the front lawn in front of the apartment building and looked up. I live on the third floor, but the frame of each floor of the apartment is not high, and the design itself has floor-to-ceiling windows with small balconies, which is very suitable for climbing.

It's not that high at all, I told myself.

My eyes locked on the room where I lived, and I saw the floor-to-ceiling windows open and the pale blue curtains fluttering in the wind.

I hid my heels and bag in the grass next to me, took a deep breath, kicked on the windowsill on the first floor, and reached out to hook the guardrail on the second floor. I was about to exert my strength when I heard the sound of a car approaching behind me, and my heart was stunned, and I almost stepped on the air.

I steadied myself and held my breath for movement behind me. I heard the sound of the car door being opened, and the sound of small conversations, and then I heard a harsh, familiar voice.

My roommate, Tomomi Nagasawa, she's screaming.

Her screams attracted the students in the apartment, and they all poked their heads out of the small European-style balcony, and then I heard more screams, one after another.

The school police heard the noise.

I looked back in the glare of the searchlight and saw Tomomi Nagasawa standing side by side with a man in a white gown, smiling meaningfully at my gaze.

It dawned on me.

I'm angry that I underestimated Tomomi Nagasawa. What's even more infuriating is that the little red dress on her body was made by me!

——————————

Ten minutes later, Tomomi Nagasawa and I were both sitting in our offices in the Student Center.

The school police urgently notified Miss Kawashima at the student center, and now the young lady is on her way, and there are only two people in the spacious office, me and Tomomi Nagasawa.

The windows of the office were open, and the roller blinds were fluttered by the night wind, and then knocked back to the window edge with the wind, clicking and clicking.

My heart pounded with this sound.

I began to think about whether my actions tonight had violated the school rules, and I was thinking about how to handle it perfectly.

"Now, don't you have any questions you want to ask me?" Tomomi Nagasawa played with the bracelet made of broken diamonds in her hand and asked casually.

I don't speak. She got up from her couch and stood in front of me for a circle, precious diamonds glittering around her neck, the irregular hem of the little dress spreading and closing, and she hooked her lips and smiled, pure and seductive.

She raised her chin and asked me, "Is it pretty?" ”

Without waiting for me to answer, she said to herself, "S, I didn't know until today that you have so many beautiful clothes in your closet, I, ah, I always thought that you, as a design student, just buried yourself in sketching every day, and then went out to do hard labor." ”

"They're clamoring to be worn on the right people to shine, S, but you're just locking them all in your closet," she leaned over, "I've been spotted by the seller today, and this design is selling for a good price." She sighed: "It's really a good price." ”

"Thank you so much." I didn't say lightly, "As a thank you gift for the model, it doesn't matter if you share the money from selling the design, right?" ”

She was stunned, and then sneered: "This is your self-esteem? ”

"Isn't that enough?" I said, "Nagasawa-san, please be more considerate of me, you know, it's not easy for me to be a sponsored student in a foreign country." ”

Her forehead leaned over to mine, and she was so close, her palm-sized face flushed with anger, and her breath was filled with the sweet smell of perfume and champagne on her body, and she said, "Are you laughing at me?" Su Su, why don't you sell yourself for a good price if you are short of money? ”

Her reaction was amused to me, and I literally laughed out loud thinking about it.

The anger on her face was even worse, and I separated her from me with my hand, and I said, "Then you really misunderstood me." I met her gaze and made eye contact with her, "Maybe I'm just trying to sell myself for a better price?" ”

She looked at me in disbelief, took a step back and stood still, and for a while, an unpredictable look appeared on her face: "Your gold master, is it Yuichi Fujisawa?" ”

I didn't dare to blaspheme the name in my heart, so she said it so easily.

I hate her, oh my God, I hate her to death!

The little volcano in my heart was about to erupt, and there was a knock at the door, the voice of a young woman: "I'm in." ”

It's Miss Kawashima.

She does not wear an elaborate suit like during the day, but a minimalist dark green long dress.

Tomomi Nagasawa and I greeted her at the same time.

She nodded casually, "Please be seated." Then he asked, "Is it okay to have only barley tea?" ”

"Then trouble Miss Kawashima." Tomomi Nagasawa said.

After a while, Miss Kawashima brought three cups of steaming barley tea and thanked each person. We sat down around the round table by the window, and my roommate, Tomomi Nagasawa, was very relaxed, with a kind and friendly smile on her face, and she was drinking tea with a teacup in her carefully decorated hand.

However, I knew that she, like me, was waiting for Miss Kawashima to speak.

I couldn't get used to the taste of barley tea, so I only wrapped my hand around the teacup, feeling a little nervous, but I still kept my face calm. With the fluorescent lamp in the office, my eyes fell on Miss Kawashima, and I didn't pay attention to it just now, but then I noticed that she was wearing a Ji Nian Sook Hee who was in season. The bandeau design has dark green tulle around the neck, like a vine, which makes her particularly fair.

"This is the barley tea recommended by Nagasawa last time." Miss Kawashima finally spoke, and what she said was unexpected, "It's really good." ”

The smile on Tomomi Nagasawa's face froze, and soon stretched out again: "Ah, did you meet Miss Kawashima at the mall?" I remember," she said, "that time, Miss Kawashima was also wearing a skirt by Sooki Chinnen, and Miss Kawashima really liked Sooki Sooki very much." ”

Miss Kawashima nodded and said with a smile, "What Kyoto person wouldn't like that?" ”

"Isn't it?" Tomomi Nagasawa put down the teacup, "Even Susu, this foreigner likes it very much." ”

She's such a good look, and that brings the topic back to me.

"Susu had the pleasure of going to the press conference tonight to see it." Tomomi Nagasawa tilted her head to look at me, "Now, Susu, come and share your thoughts." ”

Miss Kawashima also looked at me, sincere and full of anticipation.

The wind outside the window grew longer, and the roller shutters knocked on the window edge, much more eagerly.

I took a deep breath and said slowly, "Champagne...... The champagne was so delicious. ”

"Huh?" Miss Kawashima's eyes were stained with doubt.

"Miss Kawashima, I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's the first time I've participated in such a press conference, and I'm really nervous." I said, "I was walking around the press conference, and then I saw the champagne in celebration." Don't people say that wine strengthens courage? I thought, it should be okay to have a few drinks. I stroked my forehead, "Me, it's the first time I've drunk champagne, and after a few glasses, I drank a little champagne, and I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses." ”

"Ah, Su Su has a good amount of alcohol." Miss Kawashima smiled and said, "Like me, if you drink one drink at most, you will get drunk if you drink more." ”

"I thought so at first, thinking that I had a good amount of alcohol and was still complacent. Just went back to the apartment. I met Tomomi Nagasawa's inquiring gaze, "Tomomi and I left the apartment around the same time, ah no, Tomomi left before me, and I closed the balcony window before leaving." I looked at Miss Kawashima, "After drinking so much, I felt like I was going to suffocate when I went back to my apartment." ”

"So I opened the window to the balcony to breathe, and it was so comfortable, the night breeze of early summer." As I spoke, I looked out the window, and the night wind blew up the curtains and buckled back and forth on the window edge.

"Exactly." Miss Kawashima sighed.

"But, I guess I was really drunk," I continued, "I leaned against the balcony railing, but I accidentally let the bag in my hand fall, and it was a very valuable bag that Tomomi had lent me!" I was so anxious that I forgot that I was on the balcony on the third floor, so I went straight down to the balcony. I lowered my head, extremely remorseful, "I didn't expect to cause such a mess......"

There was a moment of silence in the office.

I got up and walked to the couch on the side, where Tomomi Nagasawa and I started to sit, and there was Tomomi Nagasawa's pink LV bag on it, and I picked it up and returned it.

"Oops." Miss Kawashima kept looking at me, and then blurted out exclaimed, "Susu-san, you haven't put on shoes yet!" ”

"I came in a hurry......" I was a little embarrassed, sat down, and handed the bag to Tomomi Nagasawa: "I'm sorry, Tomomi, I soiled your bag." ”

Tomomi Nagasawa was caught off guard, her beautiful eyes stared at me tightly, but it didn't take long, a second or two later, her eyes gathered fog, she took the bag, and sobbed: "It's obviously me who should say I'm sorry, I was too worried about you at the time, I didn't think too much about it, I ......" she snorted, "I'm sorry, Susu." ”

I was impressed by Tomomi Nagasawa's Oscar-level acting skills, and Miss Kawashima intimately handed Tomomi Nagasawa a tissue, and looked moved when she saw me patiently comforting Tomomi Nagasawa. It's really funny that my roommate who designed to frame me ended up cooperating with me in a roommate scene in front of Miss Kawashima.

"I'll explain it to the academy, I don't think it's okay to punish it, but the review is unavoidable. So go back to your dorm and rest. Finally, Miss Kawashima said.

The review wasn't a big deal, and I was relieved.

I wore the shoes borrowed by Miss Kawashima and went back to the dormitory with Tomomi Nagasawa, and I didn't say anything all the way. When I got downstairs to the apartment, I walked quickly to the grass, took the shoes I had hidden before, and Tomomi Nagasawa stood in front of the apartment building, dialed a number, and with two electronic sounds, the door opened.

She had her back to me and her hand on the doorknob: "Tonight, it's quite exciting." S。 She turned around, half a head shorter than me, and raised her delicate face, and she said, "You have an old saying, 'You can't look good, right?' I think that's a good point. The light fell into her eyes, and there were natural lying silkworms under the slightly squinted beautiful apricot eyes, and she smiled meaningfully, "You have to admit that in some ways, you and I are half a catty." ”

Why is this self-righteous girl always saying these unpleasant words?

"You're wrong, Tomomi Nagasawa." I looked at her, "All I've done tonight is to protect myself, and I'm doing it because of your childish and ridiculous cunning, and you, do you think I'm going to be proud of that little cleverness tonight?" Tomomi Nagasawa, I have never interfered in your life, nor have I deliberately done these childish and nasty things, I live my life, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me? I looked at her condescendingly, "So, Tomomi Nagasawa, I'm not the same as you." ”

She turned around and glared at me, "You know what, S, that's why you're the most annoying. ”

There's nothing more to say. I pushed open another door, "Then please continue to hate me." ”

I left her behind.

——————————

As Ms. Kawashima said, I was not punished, but only penalized for writing a review. This is how it came to an end.

The next day, I learned from the newspaper about the press conference that night, and the relevant newspapers and magazines all used the word "change", and the reviews were polarized, because the new products on display at the show called "Memory" were actually improved daily clothes based on the uniforms of high school students.

I read the evaluation word for word, and there were many voices who stood up against it, and they didn't need the clothes related to the student uniforms when they left the campus, and they questioned that Jinian Sook-hee didn't understand the mind of women at all. However, it didn't work.,Batch after batch of women who joined the school after leaving the campus,They walked into Zhinian Shuxi's store with longing to buy memories of their childhood.,Those opposing voices are wrong.,Who wouldn't be obsessed with such beautiful and gorgeous memories.,Not to mention the memories that are labeled as Zhinian Shuxi.。

On weekends when I went part-time at a coffee shop, I passed by Hankyu Department Store's Chinen Sooki store, where the new seasonal models were on display, and the traditions absorbed from the uniforms were added with new elements, and they were shaken off from the old and taken on a new look.

I couldn't help but pause, admiring these beautiful and amiable clothes through the window, thinking about their owners, Yuichi Fujisawa, what they thought.

However, I don't know exactly what Yuichi Fujisawa thinks.

I came back to my life. I quit my part-time job on weekdays and returned to my old rest day routine, I didn't have any social interaction as before, I spent most of my time off designing and making clothes, and occasionally I stopped for a moment to take a break and look at my results in the corner of the dreary dressing classroom, and then I thought of Yuichi Fujisawa, and I was more aware of the distance between myself and him than before.

I became more and more struggling to study, and I almost forgot to sleep or eat. Before I knew it, my first summer in Kyoto had arrived.

It's late June, and the weather in Kyoto is getting dry and muggy, and I'm busy as the end of the semester approaches. I couldn't get the effect I was looking for in my final semester credits, so I rode my bicycle found at a second-hand market through the streets of Kyoto for three days in a row to find the fabric I wanted, but I found nothing. I became so anxious that I got angry and I had several pimples on my face.

It was a part-time job on the weekend, and he was ridiculed by Qin Chuan.

I was physically and mentally exhausted and too lazy to pay attention. He leaned over: "So, what's going on?" ”

I wiped down the countertop and told me about finding fabric.

"Is it that hard to find?" Qin Chuan began to wipe the coffee cups on the display shelves, "What kind of fabric do you want?" “

"I can't tell, I didn't find what I was looking for." I'm a little annoyed.

"I said," Yagyu paused, mopping the floor, "as for the fabric shop, I know a very good shop, maybe there will be something you want." It's just that the price is a bit expensive......"

"Price-wise, I'm fine." I was thrilled to hear that there was a good store, and subconsciously interrupted Yanagi, and then quickly calculated in my mind how much I could afford to live on.

Qin Chuan put down the polished coffee cup and put it on the display shelf, he said leisurely: "Xiao Tuo has said so, the price is definitely not a problem." ”

Yanagi nodded and smiled reassuringly: "Ah, it's definitely no problem with me." ”

So, after getting off work in the evening, we went to the fabric shop that Yanagi said. It was a secluded courtyard hidden in a patchwork of alleys, which looked to have been settled for many years, and the lantern hanging at the door had the words "Kamihaya" written on it.

Liu Sheng opened the curtain of the door and shouted familiarly to the inner room: "Sister Kaoru, is Sister Kaoru here?" ”

"Here we are." The middle-aged woman who went out in response to the sound was wearing a plain kimono, and the kimono was clustered with seasonal blue-purple hydrangeas, which were dense and dense. She ran in broken steps while inadvertently pulling the hair on her sideburns, and poked her head out slightly when she walked to the corner, she was not tall and had a slender neck, seeing the person slow down, this classical beauty with slender eyes slowly confided in Kyoto dialect with a raised tail, "It's Xiao Tuo, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, Kaoru-san." Yagyu replied to her in Kyoto dialect and handed her a delicate and small gift box containing the pure joy group of Kameya Kiyona, a long-established Japanese sweet, a small rice snack that I heard was the favorite of the proprietress .

The proprietress Kaoru Kaoru happily took the gift box and thanked her, but suddenly her eyes fell on me, she looked at me unabashedly, and her eyes gradually became a little ethereal: "It's you ......"

That subtle look made me feel inexplicably uneasy, and Qin Chuan behind me responded enthusiastically: "It's me, it's me, the beautiful boss, meet again!" ”

However, Kaoru Kaoru just stared at me tightly, and the atmosphere was a little subtle in the silence, and after a while, she seemed to come back to her senses, smiled, and asked, "Who is this young lady?" ”

Liu Sheng introduced: "This is my friend, Su Su, an international student from Beiyuan. ”

"International students?" Kaoru Kaoru held her chin with one hand, "I look a lot like our local girls." ”

"Really?" Yanagi looked back at me, "Sister Kaoru said that, it's really like that." ”

"You're going to please me, it's time to embarrass the girl." Kaoru Kaoru was disgusted and stretched out her hand, "Okay, let's come in." ”

We were politely invited into the house, and Kaoru Kaoru Kaoru walked in front and chatted with Yanagi, "Chiho didn't come today." ”

"She was embarrassed to come, saying that she had ruined Sister Xun's good fabric again, and she was annoyed."

Qin Chuan leaned over and whispered: "I'm talking about Yanagi's girlfriend Gao Qiansui, who is from the same city as us, I met once, and she is a beauty with super personality." Liu Sheng learned Chinese for her. ”

I was thinking about the fabric and didn't care, but Liu Sheng heard Qin Chuan's words, turned around and smiled, looking ashamed, which surprised me greatly.

We were ushered into a Japanese-style room, and when we were seated, a woman in a kimono named Sa-Eko served refreshments, and the cherry pink ancient clumsy tea Gu contained matcha, and the white foam floated and floated between the pale green.

Explaining the intention, Sha Eko brought over a few pieces of fabric, and I compared them for a long time, but I still hesitated.

"It's hard to choose." Qin Chuan was eating the Pure Joy Group and teased.

"In my opinion," Kaoru Kaoru Kaoru said, "why don't you take a few samples back and try them out?" It's only enough to make a mini version. ”

I looked up from the fabric and asked uncertainly, "Is that okay?" ”

"Of course, Taku's friends are my friends." Kaoru Kaoru looked at me with a smile, "You're welcome, just take it and try it." ”

I was flattered and hurriedly thanked him, and Kaoru Kaoru Kaoru waved his hand indifferently and instructed Shaeko to pack the sample.

"Looking forward to seeing you again, Susu." Before leaving, Kaoru Kaoru handed me the wrapped sample and said so.

Under the light of the lantern at the door, her expression was hazy and meaningful between light and night.
