How is everything? ”

"It's a lot of fun. On the set, they are all good friends together, eating delicious food and wanting to eat, and the supervisor will not train people. ”

"I listened to the radio last night, why did it suddenly mention {maybe never get married in this life}, and said {buy an apartment with friends and build a lonelyhome}?"

“...... Chatting with Onishi about getting married, his mood was at a low ebb. But don't worry, negativity is only occasional. ”

"I'm going to Karuizawa this weekend, and I haven't sat in a new car since you bought it, so I'll go if you drive it."

"Okay, no problem."

"Remember to call Murakami-kun."

"So I can't sit in my car, right? There are five people in Sakuraso. ”

“...... I mean – just called Murakami. ”

"Huh? So what should everyone do? ...... Yes! I understand! ”

The phone hung up with a long sigh.

Going out alone with Murakami? Appointment, dating?

——————

Saturday, March 26, the day the Broadcasting Awards were presented.

Early in the morning, Yu Murakami received a call from Yusuke Kobayashi.

"Murakami, how about coming out for a drink?"

Yu Murakami propped himself up and picked up the watch on the table next to the bed.

"Start drinking at eight in the morning?" He asked.

"It's not bad to do this once in a while, right? Besides, isn't there an awards ceremony in the evening? How about we drink until that time, and then we go together? ”

"Ah, that's the case." Yu Murakami scratched at his messy hair, "Yes." I don't have anything else to do today anyway. ”

"That's good! How about Odaiba? We are waiting for you opposite the convention center. ”

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Yu Murakami put on a black shirt, changed into a pair of navy blue slacks, went downstairs to wash up, and prepared to go out.

On a March morning, the temperature is not too high, but the weather is good, and the sun has begun to take care of everything.

There is some grass growing in the yard, which looks alive, and the soil below is very close.

Yu Murakami is in a happier mood.

He walked to the garage where Yumubi's bike, his motorcycle, and Sakura's car were parked.

Straddled the motorcycle, and was about to put on his helmet, Suzune Sakura walked in.

She wore a loose and slender V-neck sweater today, and the white swaying of her collarbone was very dazzling, as if she wanted to suck all the light in.

She walked over to the motorcycle, her hand on the mailbox.

"Where?" She asked Yu Murakami.

"Odaiba. Find Yusuke for a drink. ”

"Drinking alcohol is not good for your health, don't do such things. How about coming with me to Karuizawa? ”

"I've promised Yusuke."

"What's there?" Suzune Sakura took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone.

"Onishi, please find Shizuka and tell her: Yusuke Kobayashi is going to start drinking in the morning. Uh-huh, excuse me. ”

She hung up the phone, and after a while, Yusuke Kobayashi called.

"Murakami, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Shizuka asked me to accompany her to buy clothes today to prepare for tonight's awards ceremony. How about we drink again after the ceremony? I'm in for a treat! ”

The plan to drink all day was just about to be aborted before it could start.

"How? Come with me to Karuizawa, right? ”

"It doesn't matter where you go, but don't you call them?"

"Oh, let's be honest, my mother is going too, and the car can't seat so many people. If the number of people is limited, I, of course, would like to join you. ”

"Want to come with me?"

"Don't think crooked! My mom is still there! I'm just afraid that I'm tired of driving, and if I go with you, I can still drive it again. ”

"Acting as a driver? Are there any benefits? ”

"Karuizawa hasn't been there yet, has he? Where you haven't been, there is a chance, and it's not like you if you don't go. ”

"Makes sense."

Suzune Sakura's soft cherry lips happily pursed into a line, grabbed Yu Murakami's hand with his left hand, and slapped the car keys in his palm with his right hand.

"Let's go!"

So, the two drove to Chiyoda to pick up Miss Shishino.

Thirty minutes later, the Mercedes stopped in front of the gate of Sakura's house.

"You wait for me here, I'll call my mother." Suzune Sakura said and got out of the car and walked into the yard.

Yu Murakami tapped his fingers on the steering wheel boredly, looking at the pine trees stretching out of the yard.

The verdant pine tree, although not tall and straight, has strong branches. The breed is excellent, and it is often pruned and maintained.

After waiting for ten minutes, the mother and daughter, who were almost identical in appearance except for clothes and hairstyles, walked out hand in hand.

"I'm sorry, Murakami-kun, for keeping you waiting." Her long hair was pulled up at the back of her head, and Miss Shino, who was elegant and quiet, greeted her softly.

"It's fine."

"Murakami-kun is dressed very handsomely today."

"You're also dressed beautifully today."

"Thank you, but you don't need honorifics. It's no problem to treat me as Sister Suzune. Miss Shishin suddenly changed her style.

Murakami had nothing to say "ah", although his expression did not change, but his tone did not hide the distress of {can't cope with an aged woman}.

"Mom! What did you say! Get on it! Suzune Sakura opened the backseat door and nudged Miss Shishino's back.

Miss Shishin sat in the back seat, Suzune Sakura was still in the co-pilot, and by turning back to talk to her mother, Yuko kept looking at Yu Murakami's side face.

Miss Shishin gave Miss Sakura a look: "Murakami's hand is there, go and shake it." ’

Miss Sakura winced as she lipsed, "Mom, what are you talking about!" No way! ’

'Why are you so daring?' What are you afraid of! ’

I can't do that, I can't. ’

The two of them did so, and they talked casually about the last time they went to Karuizawa in the autumn - how red the maple leaves were, how clear the lake was than the blue sky, and so on.

If you don't hold it, I'll hold it! Miss Shishin stretched out her small, yet slender, hand.

Suzune Sakura looked back and forth at her mother and Yu Murakami.

Miss Shishin's hand came closer, and her eyes continued to threaten.

Sakura Suzune was shy and annoyed, and when she saw that her mother seemed to really want to hold it, she gritted her teeth and took the first step to hold Murakami's hand.

"What's wrong?" Yu Murakami asked.

"Nothing!" Suzune Sakura sat upright, her face facing out of the window, her right hand clasped with Murakami's left hand.

She didn't look at the scenery outside the window at all, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled, her lips pursed, and her expression nervous.

It's like a little girl in kindergarten who plucked up the courage to turn her head and send her arm to the nurse who was drawing blood.

Murakami Yu looked sideways slightly, and could only see her fair and slender neck, charming chin, and small red ears between her black hair.

He gripped back his soft, little hand that was cold from nervousness.

Suzune Sakura shuddered and tensed her body, then slowly relaxed.

She opened her eyes and smiled stupidly at the scenery outside the window.

The warmth of Murakami's hands is conveyed to the past, and the hands that were originally cold become warm.

Yu Murakami was about to drive with peace of mind, but suddenly felt a gaze from behind.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Miss Shishin was smiling at him with an age-appropriate smile - at first glance, she almost overlapped with her usual Miss Sakura.

Karuizawa is located in the southeastern part of Nagano Prefecture, a plateau area surrounded by mountains and around 1000 meters above sea level.

It is a famous resort with green in spring, cool summer, autumn foliage in autumn, and snow in winter.

It is said that it was here that Emperor and Empress Ren met.

Chiyoda Ward, Toshima Ward, Itabashi Ward, driven by Yu Murakami, a brand-new Mercedes Benz passes through the city center and enters the Kan-Etsu Expressway.

After passing through the tunnel and climbing the ring road, an hour and a half later, the three of them arrived at the Sakura family's villa in Karuizawa.

Tucked away in the mountains, the backyard terrace is a pristine lake surrounded by tall birch trees and winding paths.

As soon as the car stopped, Miss Shishin touched her forehead with a slightly painful expression.

"I haven't been out for a long time, and it seems like I get motion sickness. I'll lie down in the villa for a while, and you guys can go out for a walk. ”

"Are you alright? Do you want me to stay with you? Suzune Sakura held her left hand.

The villa is regularly watched and cleaned, but whenever the owner comes to live, no one will come to disturb without a phone call, so now the villa is empty.

Miss Shishin gave her daughter a cold look.

"Hmm." Suzune Sakura was stunned all the way to her senses and finally recovered, and understood her mother's intentions.

So Miss Shishin was left alone at the villa, and Yu Murakami and Suzune Sakura prepared to walk to the business for lunch.

Following the path from which they came, the two returned to the slightly wider path in the woods.

The weeds on the side of the road had fallen to the edge of the road, and the space above was occupied by the branches of tall birch trees.

The sunlight seems to make the leaves transparent, dappled on the road.

Walking here in early spring will feel the air cold, but it should be cool in summer.

From time to time, there are branching paths leading to villas of different styles.

During this season, most of them remain uninhabited.

"It's cold."

The sound of Suzune Sakura brought back to Murakami, who was enjoying the scenery.

"Why don't we run? After this forest, you can get the sun. He smiled and proposed.

"Why don't you give me clothes to wear?"

"Are you willing to let me be cold?"

So the two of them started running.

Maybe it's a plateau, maybe it's because he hasn't exercised for a long time, Suzune Sakura didn't run for long, and then he stopped, panting with his waist crossed.

"No, I can't run."

Yu Murakami looked back and forth, but there was no one in sight, so he said to Sakura, "I'll carry you." ”

Suzune Sakura let out a "hehe" laugh like a child who had successfully played a prank, opened his arms, and raised his chin.

Yu Murakami squatted down slightly, and she lay on Yu Murakami's back.

Her hands wrapped around Murakami's neck, as if she wanted to make him a scarf with her sleeve, and she put her own face on the left side of Murakami's face.

"It's a little hot."

"Like, it's a little." Suzune Sakura's face is hot.

She felt the breath that Murakami had just exhaled and was inhaled by herself; The breath he exhaled was inhaled by Yu Murakami again.

It's like sticking your tongue out and doing that kind of thing, and then exchanging that thing with each other.

No, no!

She quickly stopped the thought, and then realized that because the two faces were close together, as soon as one of them turned his head slightly, the lips could be closed.

"Loosen a little."

"You're so noisy. Just go ahead obediently with the rickshaw, be careful not to pay after getting out of my car. Suzune Sakura didn't dare to speak loudly.

She was afraid that if she moved too much, she would be emotional, and she would be unable to bear to turn her head; But in his heart, he wanted to make Yu Murakami angry and make him turn his head.

In this case......

No, no!

No, it's okay to pray for water, why can't I, and I've kissed it last time.

Now everyone in the vicinity, there is time, so it is not really necessary to exchange......

"Yes, yes." Yu Murakami can only let her still cling to him.

“...... It's hot to death for you! ”

Suzune Sakura hugged his neck even harder, and their faces sank slightly.

After walking for four or five minutes, there is a Japanese-style hotel in front of it, and you can rent bicycles in front of the hotel.

Suzune Sakura reluctantly slipped off Yu Murakami.

"Let's rent a bike, you're tired of carrying me on your back."

Karuizawa Murakami Yu is the first time to come, and he has already walked, walked, and driven, and naturally there is no reason to skip on a bicycle.

"Okay."

Two people and one bicycle for each person, continue to wander through the birch-wrapped forest, all the way to the commercial street.

Back in Tokyo, the sky is not yet dark, and thousands of homes are lit up.
