Approaching the evening home, it seemed a little dull.

The sky was dark, the sun was sinking into the horizon, and thin clouds were piled up on the other side, gradually dyed in brilliant yellow and red.

Jiang Yu tried his best to maintain his usual appearance, bringing up some interesting and uninteresting topics from time to time, but most of the time he didn't get a response, and in the end, he simply shut up and stared at the street scene in a daze.

When confronted with the question posed by Mahaku, he replied, "This is a question that you should think hard about yourself to get the answer."

Maybe it's not very good at dealing with kindness from the opposite sex. After all, basically except for creation-related things, he lives a careful, restrained, sensitive and cautious life.

In school, except for the group of people who were involved in the relationship from the beginning, he didn't have any more ideas about making friends. Last spring, after the whole person was refreshed and his thoughts were cleared, he no longer consciously or unconsciously let himself behave like a high school student.

He will unleash limited kindness on strangers and acquaintances, but above that, there is a realm that is difficult for irrelevant people to penetrate.

It's not that he consciously thinks that he is superior, it's just that he has higher and farther pursuits than the ordinary daily life and beautiful high school life.

There must be something that you can't get without giving up something, and a place to reach.

It is precisely because of this belief that Jiang Yu will understand the choice of Ying Lili and Shi Yu at the beginning.

In this way, what he gave up as a "Baili Tusu" and as a "master" was probably the ordinary and gorgeous high school life, as well as the classmates and students of the same level who should have occupied a large part of the dating circle in the future.

Of course, he doesn't seem lonely because he happens to have a group of like-minded friends around him.

So, what did Mashiro, who existed as a world-famous painter and who existed as a manga artist who has become famous in the past two years, give up to get to where he is today?

What she may be longing for now, is there something she needs to give up to get it?

Except for herself, maybe no one knows the correct solution.

……

At dinner, Xiao Bury seemed to notice something strange in the air, and looked back and forth with a suspicious gaze at Jiang Yu and Zhenbai, who were the same as usual, each bowing their heads and eating in silence.

Thinking of the clothes in the two baskets in the bathroom, the girl gently stroked her long silky hair and nodded as if gained.

Don't...... Stepping over the adult ladder or something? No, no, no, if that happens, it can't be the atmosphere it is now, right?! What the hell was I thinking!

After complaining about himself in his heart, Xiao Bury resisted the curiosity in his heart, and planned to wait a while to find a good time to ask his good roommate and good friend.

As for why don't you ask your brother for answers?

Xiao Bury has the intuition that the other party will perfunctory the past.

In other words, that's not a topic that can be talked about openly with your sister? Doesn't it make people even more curious when they think about this?!

His heart was tickling like a cat's claw, and the expression on his face was sometimes serious, sometimes surprised, and sometimes confused.

Jiang Yu accidentally raised his eyes to take a look, and what caught his eye was the scene of his sister who seemed to be performing a face-changing stunt on the spot.

After thinking about it, he lowered his head again as if he hadn't found anything.

If you point it out to your face, the little girl will be annoyed, right?

Jiang Yu thought of it and silently praised his handling.

……

Time passed in a blink of an ordinary day, and soon it was March. The temperature is warmer, the snow and ice are melting, and it is raining a few times, and the cherry blossoms are beginning to bud in various places.

The pure white girl's original question has not yet found the answer.

But presumably, she is stubborn, and she will continue to look for a long, long time.

After that day, Jiang Yu was beaten by his sister, Rita and even Iida Ayano, and made it clear that he would rather see him as a family and sister than a girl of the same age, and he was not subjected to similar interrogations.

By the way, when I heard the answer "sister", the expression on my face was a little strange at the time, as a real sister. It's like a loss, and it's like a relief. It's like a thorough understanding of finally giving up something, and it's like a sudden enlightenment that can finally move forward.

Mahaku also lives in his house as always, but when he goes to university, it seems that he is going to move out and live with Rita, who will stay in Japan for at least the next four years.

The reason why Mahahiro was called back to the UK around Christmas last year was that her relatives in addition to her parents seemed to be considering letting her go to a prestigious university in the UK and settle there in the future.

In this regard, Mashiro's choice is to insist on attending a university in Japan, and the reason for adopting it is, of course, that the Japanese material is not over. Mashiro's parents, who knew the inside story, and her painting teacher, Rita's grandfather, finally chose to remain silent and respect Mashiro's choice.

At the same time, Rita, who has untied the knot in her heart, also decided to go to Japan to go to university next year, on the one hand, to take care of Mashiro, and on the other hand, to make friends with the group of people who had worked so hard to avoid estrangement.

Probably, it was precisely because she knew that this accustomed day was coming to an end that the girl let her feelings dominate and ask that question.

Her career as a cartoonist is still tepid, although she is still trying to create her own creation, but what can be successfully serialized is still the daily comic based on Jiang Yu and Xiao Burying.

But thanks to this, although Mashiro's fame has risen steadily, no one has yet linked it to the world-renowned genius of painting, Shiina Mashiro. The worst-case scenario that Mahaku's father had considered at the beginning has not happened yet. In other words, it is still in the prelude and will be in the making for a long time.

At the same time, due to the suspension of club activities and the imminent graduation, Jiang Yu and others have actually not been together for a long time. After all, as the main members of the club, several third-year students, in addition to those who need to be busy taking exams or graduates, those who do not need to think about taking exams, and need to be responsible for or pay attention to the sales and sales of "FSN".

And those second-graders...... Wouldn't it be better to go to school? (laughs)

Although there are no more offline gatherings, Jiang Yu still keeps in touch with the rest of the club. Two of the most frequent contacts were Iori and Megumi Kato. The former is to learn about the various situations of "FSN", while the latter is to aimlessly engage in chats or discussions with no fixed topics.

However, Jiang Yu is not completely idle. Cousin Jiang Qian's side considered that he needed to take the exam, and he was not prepared to be responsible for the line supervision of the second season of the animation of "Spring Things". But when he was informed of this decision, Jiang Yu eagerly accepted the job, so it finally fell on his head. Lazy people listen to books

It can only be said that the original author, who is extremely bored and wants to play stalks, is so eager for the job of supervision.

Of course, because he couldn't completely ignore the exam, Jiang Yu did not appear at the recording site. Most of the lines he wrote and the subsequent revisions were directly communicated with the sound supervisor of the animation, Saruichi Hinoki. After cooperating with a series of derivative works of "Spring Things", he and the sound supervisor are already relatively familiar. And "Spring Things" is the origin of the other party's recent development, so that Hinoki Zeyi is also more friendly to Jiang Yu.

On the first weekend of March, Jiang Yu took his admission ticket and a series of stationery, took the tram, got off at the station of the same name, and walked into the iconic red door. When you look up, you can see the corner of the lecture hall hidden not far away, the same iconic building that looks like a clock tower.

The morning of early spring is less of a sunny attachment and more of a cold wind. Jiang Yu tightened his collar and followed the instructions all the way, occasionally seeing young men and women in a hurry. They walked in a hurry, and their expressions were not necessarily relaxed, but they exuded a positive atmosphere.

They stood at the door of the ivory tower, just as they had when they first entered, looking up at the towering spire, the simple but powerful lines, the white and faintly glittering walls.

The difference is that the expression on his face at the beginning was curious and afraid, happy and at a loss; Today, however, he is reluctant and fearless, tenacious and persistent.

Is this the best option?

He didn't know the answer.

Just like in the last world, he actually took the exam step by step, and then chose a school and major in a daze. But the fortunate thing is that such a mistake developed later, and the result was not bad.

Ah, here it is.

Jiang Yu stopped in front of an auditorium-like building, the door open. If you get closer, you can hear the subtle sound of the pages turning, the footsteps walking back and forth, and the occasional cough that is trying to suppress it.

Jiang Yu pushed open the door and walked in, the room was bright, and the stepped seats were up layer by layer, and almost half of the people were already seated.

He found his seat and sat down, pulling out his stationery and setting it up. But then, he didn't flip through all sorts of pamphlets like the people around him, while whispering something to his mouth.

Jiang Yu took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and on it, there was concern and encouragement from a limited number of friends and family members who knew that he was coming to the exam today.

In fact, he didn't feel that there was any practical benefit to such an act, but he also really felt a feeling that flowed slowly in the bottom of his heart like a stream and a mountain spring.

Inhale gently, exhale slowly, and finally pack all the items that are not relevant to the exam together, get up and walk down the stairs, and place them at the front of the customary classroom.

The clock on the wall moved autonomously, and the hidden door was pushed open from time to time, and there were girls who stepped into it with their lips pursed and slightly timid, and teenagers who were full of energy and confidence.

The moment the time reached the scheduled time, the regular pre-test dogma that had been repeatedly reminded many times before was once again brought up by the invigilator, and after the last wave of candidates who had put their things down again, stacks of snow-white papers began to be distributed.

Jiang Yu got the test paper and glanced at the frontispiece, the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful.

The next moment, with a calm "exam begins", the sound of neat paper flipping through sounded together. This is followed by a dense and delicate sound of the tip of the pen touching the paper.

Above the blue sky, a projection of a huge fireball at a distance, measured in light years, quietly emerged from behind the clouds. The mild but not scorching spring sun pushed open the window lattice, and sprinkled on this group of young people who were concentrating on answering the questions, and their faces were still a little immature, leaving delicate floating dust along the way, and finally forming a mottled silhouette.

It's spring.

This inconsequential thought flashed through Jiang Yu's mind, and he kept waving his hand, filling in one answer after another.

……

It's twilight.

The flying fish leaps, then disappears.

The golden water rippled out, and the huge sun wheel was swallowed up little by little, leaving only distorted light and shadow.

The distant side seems to sing an ancient song, the temples ring the ancient bells, and the curling incense spirals upwards and disappears into the sky.

The bright lights representing the modern civilization of mankind are constantly lit up one after another, looking from afar, like day.

Perhaps, the city has never had a true night's sleep.

Jiang Yu carried the dishes with a calm expression, pushed open the door, and after tossing the things in his hand, he lowered his head and began to change his shoes.

Hearing the sound coming from here, the sound of running soon sounded in the living room, which was only a dozen miles away, and then, a cute face that was disgusting and happy came into Jiang Yu's eyes.

He smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it took a little more time to buy things, and I'll make a big meal as compensation." ”

Xiao Bury didn't answer, and looked at him with a look that seemed nervous and expectant, wanting to say goodbye.

"Although I can probably guess what you want to ask......" Jiang Yu raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and he looked in a good mood, "But I won't tell you~"

The anticipation in Xiao Bury's eyes was immediately replaced by a deep disappointment and resentment, she glanced at her brother, and at the same time let out a tsundere snort from her mouth, turned around and returned to the living room.

Jiang Yu followed a few steps, only to suddenly notice that there seemed to be something different at home. He looked at the living room in front of him, which had not revealed the slightest light, sniffed the sweet aroma hidden beneath the calm air, and nodded slightly in understanding.

Walking into the living room, the darkness he had seen before was replaced by bright incandescent lights, the two salutes that rang out one after the other, and the colorful confetti sprayed around him, all made Jiang Yu easily understand the current situation.

He thought to himself, what if I came back and looked depressed? Wait a minute...... In that case, it will turn from a celebration to a consolation dinner?

He was a little crying and laughing, and he just wanted to say something to the two girls who had planned all this, but when he saw the figure on the right, he let out a slightly shocked cry.

"You ......"

The man's long blonde hair was slightly curly, draped in a loose vest, a pair of blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his soft cheeks were raised upwards, revealing a gentle smile.

She smiled and said, "Hi~Yujun~! Ah, no, should I say 'welcome back'? ”

Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled, secretly saying that he should have thought that March was the month of the centralized entrance examination for various universities in Japan.

"I said that next time, please don't come uninvited? Miss Rita. ”
