Chapter 30: Bumping into each other
After noon, the spring sun finally sneaked out from under the clouds.
The summit of Snow Ridge has faded from the snow of winter, and has long since become gloomy and green.
The smoke repeatedly drifted out of the old house where the only person lived on the snow ridge, rose into the air, and finally merged with the passing clouds.
The old woman hurriedly approached Ritsuko's room with the lunch she had prepared, but was surprised to find that she had not completely closed the door, but had hidden a small crack, and could vaguely see a corner of the bookshelf.
"Miss, are you in the house?" The old woman knocked softly on the door, but after waiting for a long time, she still could not hear the answer from inside.
Ritsuko's room was quiet, and there was no sound.
"Miss? If you don't say anything, the old body will come in. ”
I knocked again, and the door was knocked open a little, but it was still silent.
The old woman had no choice but to gently push the door open.
The window was halfway open, and a gust of wind blew, carrying pieces of flower petals and falling on the desk.
Turning over a few pages of the book that lay flat on the table, the brush hanging on the side shook slightly.
The wind blew away the heat that was slowly wafting on the bowl.
Ritsuko, who was supposed to be sitting at the desk reading a book, wasn't in the room.
The table was empty.
On the other side of the bed, there was only a messy quilt, and she was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss?"
Maybe something is going on?
The old woman lowered her eyes, "It's just that this meal has to be warmed again." ”
……
……
"Mochizuki! Empty stomach! Is there anything to fill your stomach? Look ......" the lazy voice sounded on the roof.
Under the warm sun, he couldn't open his eyes a little, stretched comfortably on the roof, and was about to sit up, but he happened to catch a glimpse of the back of one of the boulders in the courtyard, and a figure moved.
The outstretched hand stiffened and drooped, squinting his eyes and looking closely, behind the boulder, there was indeed a black shadow squatting.
Was it a thief? That's a bit bold.
Curious, he wanted to take a closer look, and jumped off the roof and landed on the boulder.
Because he thought that he could only be a thief, he wanted to scare and scare, so he didn't think about opening up the space or hiding his figure.
And the black shadow behind the boulder, I still leaned on the edge of the boulder and looked into the room, but after feeling that there was one more person on the stone, I paused and stopped looking into the house.
It seemed that he was also frightened by this figure falling from the sky, and the black shadow raised his head suddenly, but it was met with a pair of blood-red eyes.
Under the shadows, there is a little light, especially enchanting.
"...... Divorced? ”
The man behind the boulder faded into darkness, and his gentle and delicate face showed a rare loss of color in his usual life.
"Lil...... Ritsuko-san, what are you doing here? ”
Lu Li was obviously also panicked, he never thought that the thief he thought of would be Ritsuko himself.
Even though he is usually calm, he is a little blank at this moment.
He didn't know how to explain to Ritsuko why he was in her house, or what kind of reason to find to convince her of it.
"I just want to see who Grandma is talking to these days, and she is deliberately hiding it from me." Even if she hasn't come out of her panic yet, Ritsuko still subconsciously answered Lu Li's question.
"Yes...... That's right. ”
It was only for a moment that Ritsuko sensed that something was wrong.
This is in her home, and Lu Li is indeed standing in her home.
She listened carefully, but the sound in her ears did not disappear, and the small but numerous sounds of the mountains could still reach her ears.
This time, when I saw Lu Li, it wasn't in his space!
"How do you ...... Will it be in my yard? ”
Ritsuko still asked the question that Lu Li was beginning to worry about.
"I thought that Miss Ritsuko's house had been burglarized, and I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look." Lu Li sat down cross-legged in mid-air, hooked the corners of his mouth, a smile between his eyebrows, and bent his eyes like a teenager.
Just as Ritsuko was about to ask something more, an old voice sounded in the room, interrupting her thoughts.
"Miss, what are you doing here? Come into the house. ”
Look, an old woman was standing in the middle of the corridor, and the dishes in her hands were no longer warm.
