Pflau preface to "The Witch Novelist".

Before all this happened, she was a girl with joy in her eyes.

Eleven years ago in the summer. That's probably how it all began.

Before you know it, you've become accustomed to leggings and rain boots, snow boots, and pickups.

On June 30th, the summer here is a bit colder, foggy and cooler.

She lives in an endless wilderness, surrounded by scattered farmsteads.

Alone I saw the endless void, with a little panic.

What I saw with him was a bright star track, which was full of anticipation.

But no matter where you are, you won't feel a foreign place when you look at the starry sky.

I just finished eating my birthday cake and was leaving, and I will never come back for more than ten years.

(UTC/GMT-8) At four o'clock in the evening, after putting the suitcase, the old man turned the engine key, and a dull engine sound was heard.

She jumped to her preferred seat to the passenger seat.

The wind blew her long hair, and she stood on the cargo compartment and watched the farm disappear in the sunset.

Suddenly, he found a small outline under the tarpaulin at his feet, and staggered to lift the tarpaulin and found a life.

A tiny shivering Egyptian cat.

Bang bang, bang, she slapped the top of the cab hard, and finally got her grandfather to stop the car.

"It's almost dying." A faint evaluation.

The tired and emaciated cat opened its eyes and slowly turned its head towards her.

The deep cat's eyes can't tell what it wants to express.

"Grandpa......"

"I know what you want to do, but I can't."

Even miracles like magic have to pay an equal price, and we must not abuse our abilities.

"Say goodbye to it, just like you say goodbye to me."

Mighty beasts do not gather.

A lonely guy who suddenly became energetic at the thought of no one being there. We all are.

Whether it is reluctance or anticipation, my mind is already blurred.

At this time, she was too quiet, and her feet were shaking again, so for the last time, she held the cat in her arms.

When I arrived at the airport, it was night, but my arms were empty.

She didn't shed tears, her eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

During this time, no one can judge what little Weiyang did.

As the engines of the planes roared, the night sky unfolded in front of you, and then the horizontal lines of light and darkness intertwined.

The girl leaned back in the chair and slowly closed her eyes, this sky and the past me have nothing to do with me.

Until the moment of meeting again.

◇

The brother and sister stared stupidly at the reappeared Weiyang.

"Ah, women are at a loss, do you have to expose me like this......" Weiyang whispered while drinking milk tea neatly.

Seiichi stared at her slender fingers to make sure she was really alive, and couldn't help but stop the spoon, "That's it, my brother is always surprised." ”

Weiyang's afternoon leave was because he was not feeling well. Washing your hands is also polite, and drinking some hot milk tea is the right thing to do during this period. I was really afraid that the milk tea would be drunk by Qingyi, so I specially instructed it.

Besides, it's rude to see you guys sweating like this, saying that it's going to the bathroom, of course, it's to take care of yourself.

But some people think about it too much.

"Forget it, after all, so many mobile phones can receive intimidation, there is no doubt that the other party should not be underestimated, but I'm really a little scared, I'll quickly change my clothes later."

"Got it, got it." Weiyang replied happily.

"I should let my brother experience the distress of girls," Qingyi continued to mend the knife, "Ah, the next book will be written "Brother Became a Girl". ”

Are you so happy to play with me?

"Yes, yes." Weiyang laughed along.

Experience the distress of a girl? Xia Han unconsciously became distressed.

On the other side, Qing Yi glanced at Weiyang's upright and handsome face, and quietly swallowed a sigh.

Small lips and a sharp appearance, deep eyes, and long, straight hair. Weiyang is always cheerful and full of confidence, and does not let the character of the eyebrows not lose the gentleness of women.

In comparison, I'm not as suffocating as I wrote in my novels, although I have good facial features and a tall nose, but my face has some freckles, and my eyes are big but I look more cute than gentle, I'm afraid that even if I learn to dress up, my brother will make fun of it.

Fortunately, my sister's identity is bound for life.

And, I have a killer feature.

"Huh? Sister Weiyang, such a beautiful ring, I haven't seen you wear it last week," Qingyi suddenly pointed to Weiyang's index finger as if he had noticed something, "Who gave it to you." ”

"Huh? No, I bought it myself. Weiyang shook his head vaguely.

"Did you meet some handsome guy magician?"

"No...... What a thing. Weiyang lowered his head guiltily, and raised his head slightly to test Xia Han's eyes.

Although it is only the index finger, Weiyang has thought about it, it is not frivolous, wearing it on the index finger is a symbol of independence, but also a hint or even an invitation.

In short, if you meet a girl wearing a ring on your left index finger, just pursue it generously.

But Xia Han didn't understand.

"Weiyang, who sent it?"

“……”

"Sure enough, I still didn't know you when I dated you before, isn't that bad...... It's just, it's weird. Xia Han summed it up like this.

"Strange?"

"Yes, I always think that girls' way of thinking is a little different, and that's true! It's true that we men can't think of dying together or something. Xia Han unconsciously returned to his professional habits.

Die together? Weiyang blinked suspiciously.

"But Weiyang feels different, for example, Weiyang in Qingyi's novel gives people the feeling of being vibrant, but it's ......"

"You guys think too much," Weiyang avoided Xia Han's gaze, lowered his head timidly, and a clumsy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Seriously, sometimes, I don't dare to face the future, I don't dare to face the ...... of parting"

"Facing parting?" Xia Han sighed after repeating and looked out the window, "Speaking of which, your trajectory is really global." ”

After a year, they were going to separate again, and the three fell into a brief silence.

Unexpectedly, Xia Han looked directly at Weiyang, "Actually, I feel ...... You're brave, but you don't know it, and besides, there's going to be a reunion, aren't you? ”

"Yes......" smiled very bluntly.

"Hurry up and eat, don't let the food get cold, go to the zoo in the afternoon."

"Summer cold." Weiyang suddenly showed a very serious expression.

In the fifteenth middle school at the other end, Xia Ke, who was worried, had just finished her morning class, and she had just passed through Song Guangxian's class when she was facing the college entrance examination, and went to the direction of the cafeteria alone after looking at the empty seats.

Suddenly, there was a pat on the shoulder.

It was warm—and perhaps he didn't agree with that—and there was an expectant glint in his eyes.

"Xiaohan?"

"Sister, try to solve the case in three days, please act with me."
