"Uh-huh......"

Separated from the cold that surrounds him, he and Tian Yuxi feel that his body is light—obviously in the dark dream that has been isolated from his senses and has lost his sense of sight and hearing, but he seems to be able to faintly smell a good smell.

"So warm ......"

She suddenly felt a long-lost warmth, as if she had returned to the time when she had not yet passed the selection and was still growing freely in Kyushu - bathed in the excessively warm sunshine, holding the cake that had not yet suffered, stepping barefoot on the thin sand, and occasionally a cool tide rolled up, brushing her toes a little itchy.

However, this kind of warmth has never been there since he went to Beijing. On the one hand, it is because of the busy work and almost no holidays, and on the other hand, even if I rarely return to my hometown like at the beginning of this year, it is a business itinerary mixed with business, and I am far from feeling unrestrained as before.

Speaking of the beginning of the year...... She suddenly recalled that when she had just learned that she was doing land construction in her hometown, she still had a faint sense of sadness that the last pure land in her heart had been eroded. didn't think about it, but it became my best memory this year - and the reason for such a change was precisely the encounter with Mr. Qiu Yang.

When consciousness popped into here, he suddenly understood why he felt this warmth that should have disappeared with age. His presence, his encounter with Shikashima, and his dealings with him, all of which made her feel as if she had grown carefree and savagely as a child.

Qiu Yang...... Teacher ......"

She called softly.

"-Yuki, are you awake?"

Then, like the echo of the hollow valley from her call, a gentle voice came from the sky.

"Hmmm......"

Yuki Yoda struggled to open her eyes, only to realize that there was no sun and no beach, and she was still in the cold winter of Tokyo.

- Fortunately, the people around me are the same as in their dreams.

"Teacher Qiu Yang, I ......"

She wanted to sit up, but the sharp pain in her head made her slump back, and she realized that she was lying in Qiu Yang's bedroom again after two weeks-yes, I just came to find Mr. Qiu Yang...... How could it be......

"Okay, don't force ......"

The man reached over and carefully lifted her head back on the pillow, his slender knuckles brushing her forehead with a chill.

"Sure enough, I have a fever......

He muttered, his brow furrowing.

"Why don't you send a message or make a phone call before you come to my house? It's so cold now, and you're asleep outside again, isn't it 100% cold...... You just fainted, do you know? ”

Listening to his complaining thoughts, Tian Youxi's heart was sweet, and his tone subconsciously sprinkled coquettishly-Obviously, before coming, I thought that I must keep a distance of "less than lovers".

"But, I obviously want to surprise you! You're going to blame me ......! ”

Then, as if remembering something, she complained about Qiu Yang in turn.

"Besides, when I got to the door, I called you twice, but they were all busy......"

"Uh...... It's because ......"

Qiu Yang's heart was weak for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it - it was estimated that most of it was with He Xi's phone.

"Ah, speaking of surprises......!"

Fortunately, Tian Youxi did not continue to entangle on this topic, but suddenly exclaimed softly.

“…… What time is it? ”

"...... Now"

Qiu Yang was just busy taking care of him, and he forgot the time.

"Ah...... It's half past twelve......"

"Woo! What......"

and Tian Youxi remorsefully covered his little brain - really, he obviously came over and accompanied Mr. Qiu Yang to celebrate his birthday at zero o'clock, and now he has slept without worry, what's the point!

Thinking of this, she was so aggrieved that her nose was a little sour: why is she always so reckless.

"I'm still thinking about it, I'm still thinking about it...... Woo......"

"-It's okay."

Seeing her chagrin, Qiu Yang reached over and pinched the girl's little face, interrupting the girl's more and more self-blaming thoughts.

"Ever since I became an adult...... This is the first time someone has accompanied me for my birthday. ”

He softly talked about his past, hoping that in this way, he would be able to comfort the girl.

"On the one hand, it's because I don't pay much attention to it...... On the other hand, there is no one who can accompany me - about this, when Yuki recovers from his illness, I will tell Yuxi again, now is not the right time. ”

Regarding his family, he thought, it was time for Yoda to know more - after all, he knew everything about her when he was in Shikajima, and he always had to respond sincerely to this unreserved.

"-No!"

Yoda shook his little head suddenly, and then, as if he had a headache from too violent movements, he said with a frown.

“…… Yuki is going to listen to it now! ”

“……”

Qiu Yang subconsciously avoided the girl's burning gaze and looked out the window at the deep night. I just tossed around like this in the middle of the night with Tian Da, and I really didn't feel sleepy.

I sighed, thinking that it wasn't impossible.

“…… Then you wait a while, lie down obediently, and I'll serve you a bowl of white porridge. ”

"Uh-huh!"

He Tian Youxi's eyes lit up, and he nodded obediently: It turned out that the fragrance in the dream just now was the porridge boiled by Teacher Qiu Yang......

"—Wait a minute!"

Qiu Yang was about to turn around and go out, when he was suddenly stopped by Yotian.

"What's wrong......

Turning back, she struggled to prop herself up, her fingers folded, comparing to a crooked heart.

"——Teacher Qiu Yang, happy birthday!"

……

……

“…… So, that's probably it. ”

Qiu Yang tried his best to be as concise as possible, but he still spoke dryly, looking at the number "3" pointed by the clock, he suddenly began to doubt his life.

- On the first day of my 24-year-old, how did I start telling stories?

"Woo, woo......"

He Tian Youxi had just slept a lot and had fully eaten again, but now he was very energetic, and the sound of secretly sobbing sounded full of energy.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu Yang still has such a story...... It's Yuxi, I'm abrupt, these things, are they the scars of Teacher Qiu Yang......"

"Scars don't ......"

Qiu Yang sighed in his heart, what a kind and good boy. In fact, he didn't feel anything about his own experiences, but Yoda, who has a strong ability to empathize, has completely fallen into that kind of emotion.

Moreover, the little girl is not good at hiding her emotions, and he can see that the words he said from the bottom of his heart made the girl feel very happy.

"Okay, the bedtime story is long enough, my Miss Yoda, can we sleep?"

“…… Wait, wait! ”

“…… What else is going on? ”

Qiu Yang looked at Hetian's energetic appearance, and said in his heart that tears are similar to the principle of sweating, and they have the effect of curing colds? On the contrary, he was so weak that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Teacher Qiu Yang, I don't want to know what Yuxi's birthday gift is!"

“…… What is it? ”

Qiu Yang pretended to cooperate and asked. In fact, when Yoda had just moved from the outside of the room to the room, he had already vaguely seen the gift box in his handbag.

"Go get my bag!"

“…… Ordered. ”

Qiu Yang took a small box with a purple ribbon and pretended to be surprised as if it was the first time he saw it.

"Is this it? …… Wow! It's so beautiful! ”

“…… If you read it like this, I'll kill you! ”

“……”

Looking at the little fist waving by the girl, Qiu Yang suddenly felt a sadness in his heart - why is it that every girl is well-behaved and clever when she first meets her, and she begins to get along with herself for a while...... Isn't he, to reflect on his own reasons?

"-Let's open it!"

"Okay."

Qiu Yang solemnly untied the ribbon, and what caught his eye was a thick book, like a photo album.

"It's ......"

He looked up at Yoda, meeting her sparkling eyes, and explained softly in his voice.

"——This is a photo album of Yuki and I have been growing up since I was a child......"

“……”

Qiu Yang opened the photo album, which started when he was a toddler lying on the ground. Flipping back, there are photographs taken against all sorts of strange backgrounds: on trees, on big rocks, on the backs of goats...... The expressions are mostly funny - probably different from my childhood with heavy expectations, girls grow up carefree and wild, right?

As the girl gradually "grows up" in the album, it becomes more and more obvious between her eyebrows that "it is with Tian Yuxi".

"Because, Mr. Qiu Yang has not seen this, so I want Mr. Qiu Yang to know all the ...... of Yu Xi"

"Such a gift ......"

Qiu Yang was a little afraid to bear such a true affection - the girl's feelings were too sincere and beautiful, without a little bit of human sophistication, which seemed too direct and fiery to him, who was used to subtle expression.

It's like having a feeling that after accepting the album, you're going to marry the girl in front of you.

“…… Then thank you Yuxi, I will treasure it for the rest of my life! ”

However, looking at the look of expectation with Tian Youxi, he still nodded and accepted it.

"—but I've been trying to say it since now......"

While putting away the album, he smiled evilly and complained, easing the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"Yuki-chan seems to have stopped growing since this page...... I'll see how old it is...... Yes! It's four years old! ”

"How can it be four years old! you! ”

“……”

……

After a while, both of them were a little tired.

"Okay, if you don't sleep, I'll sleep until one o'clock tomorrow."

Qiu Yang's eyes were about to close, he stood up from the side of the bed and walked straight to the door.

“…… Wait, where are you going? ”

He pulled Tian Youxi's short hand, didn't catch Qiu Yang, and hurriedly called out.

“…… Sleeping? ”

Qiu Yang's face was calm.

“……”

He was stunned with Tian Youxi for a while, and only realized before he could speak, and the words he wanted to say afterwards seemed to have fallen into Qiu Yang's trick to capture him.

“…… It's nothing, then you go out to sleep. ”

“…… Okay, good night? ”

"Good night."

In Tokyo in the early hours of the morning, two people across the wall were lying flat, both looking at the ceiling with their eyes open, unable to sleep alive or dead.

"-Damn, why doesn't the little girl play her cards according to common sense! Why can't you even sleep on your own bed for a birthday! ”

"-Damn, why doesn't Mr. Qiu Yang play his cards according to common sense! Isn't there supposed to be a night attack at this time! ”

Each has a ghost, and the skyline shows a hint of fish belly white.

……

……

"Knock Knock ......"

The next morning, Qiu Yang was woken up by a faint knock on the door.

"Coming, coming......"

He moved his aching whole body - he slept on the sofa so late yesterday, and he didn't sleep well all night......

"-Who?"

He finally tidied up his clothes and pushed the door open, but the door was empty.

“…… What the hell, is it a prank......? ”

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Qiu Yang looked left and right, and the corridor was indeed empty.

When I reached out to close the door, suddenly, I heard a clanging on the doorknob.

"What ...... East"

Qiu Yang looked down and saw the things hanging on the doorknob clearly, and he was instantly sleepy.

- That's, a spare key.

When he got up, his head was still a mess, and before he could think, he took off the key and closed the door in a daze.

- What's the situation? Nana Min? When will she ......

Qiu Yang stood at the door stunned for a long time, facing the closed door, savoring the connotation behind this strange situation.

"Knock Knock ......"

It was then that there was another knock on the door.

- Nanami turned back again? What about Yoda? Could she be mistaken? But it wasn't a misunderstanding......

A lot of mixed thoughts gathered together, but everyone had already arrived at the door, and they couldn't turn them away.

Taking a deep breath, he opened the door again.

"—Nanamin, I ......"

"- Happy birthday, son!"

Unexpectedly, it was his father who appeared at the door. At this moment, he was carrying a small gift box, looking at him with a "surprised" expression.

“…… Father? ”

“…… Hey, you're too much! Your dad and I came all the way to give you this surprise, why don't you seem to be happy at all! ”

“……”

Qiu Yang's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to respond, so the man squeezed into the hallway by himself, changing his shoes while quickly pulling the familiar words.

"Speaking of which, I saw Nanamin downstairs just now, but she looked like she was on her mind, and I didn't talk to her...... What happened? Just came out of your house, and it was an unpleasant look again, and there was a quarrel? Or is it ...... You're not good at it...... kid? ”

“……”

Qiu Yang looked at the old indecent with a wicked smile, and he didn't have any intention of joking with him.

——Teacher Qiu Yang......"

Just as he was about to explain the situation to his father, a tired voice came from inside. After a while, the bedroom door was opened, and the petite girl in pajamas walked out with her eyes rubbed. Then, blindfolded, he made eye contact with Qiu's father.

“…… Huh? Why did you sleep and Teacher Qiu Yang has aged so much ......? ”

“……”

Qiu Yang turned his head to avoid his father's sight of "You are committing a crime", and there was a burst of despair in his heart.

- Can it be only the birthday, and there shouldn't be so many "surprises"......
