Chapter 213 (2)
"You must have heard the conversation clearly, right?" Hikari put away his phone and said to Ono:
"That's it, looks like I'm going to have to have dinner at your house today before I go back."
"If you want to come, you can come!"
Ono is still a little confident in the cleanliness of her room, after all, as a girl who loves cleanliness, even if it is just a rental house, she can redecorate it to her satisfaction.
As it gets darker, Ono turns on his phone's flashlight to light the way forward.
Ono looked at himself and could only reach the height of his bare shoulders, thinking to himself what the nearest child had eaten to be so tall at such a young age.
Maybe Ono will feel that no matter who he looks at, the other party will feel very tall.
Ono couldn't help but step forward and hold Hikari's hand, whether it was the palm or the knuckles, the light was much bigger than Ono.
Hikari didn't hold Ono's little hand, and let Ono gently put her soft little hand into his hand, and he just took care of his own hand. At least that's what I think.
Ono greedily enjoyed the warmth of her bare palms, and the sense of security that poured into her heart.
"My home is over here, and then go like this, turn left at the next intersection...... Well, it's coming soon. ”
Just looking at the neighborhood that is becoming more and more familiar in front of them, this is the town they have lived in before they moved.
"I wonder if that girl named Kiriko still lives here!"
There was a sudden throbbing in Hikari's heart, which had happened when he was still in kindergarten.
Tianguang didn't go to school because he had a low-grade fever, but Xiao Tao went to school on time. Although Little Peach repeatedly begged their mother to let her stay at home to accompany her brother, Tento Jasmine told her that it was not necessary, and sent the sullen Little Peach to kindergarten.
Hikari was too lonely to find the key and secretly ran to the public entertainment place in their neighborhood.
It is said that it is an entertainment place, but it is just a pool of sandy beach and a few simple entertainment equipment, and then it is a blank space.
Hikari remembers that he once played seesaw with Kiriko, and although their weight was evenly matched, Hikari relied on his advantage of being a boy, and he often pressed Kiriko on top of the seesaw that day, so that the girl named Kiriko did not dare to go down.
They had only met this day, but they had only asked each other their names. Children, including older children nowadays, don't necessarily ask each other for their home address or the next meeting time during the game, and mobile phones at that time were only non-smartphones that couldn't touch the screen, and the price was still very expensive.
Hikari now suddenly wants to go to the entertainment place of his childhood again, and with his unforgettable memory, Hikari takes Ono's hand and quickly changes the direction of progress.
"Huh? Where are you taking me? I've only recently moved here, so I'm not very familiar with the location! ”
Ono followed the light, reluctantly moving her slender legs and her tiny feet, even when she was pulled by the light, she felt that she could hardly keep up with the speed of the light.
"Don't worry! I'm all too familiar with the terrain here! ”
"Yes, yes, that's good......"
Hikari's refreshing timbre made Ono not continue to ask, but Ono himself felt a little curious, what kind of secret base would be the place that Hikari so desperately wanted to arrive? Or is it just trying to take me somewhere?
If it's a quiet place where no one is around, then she can tell Hikari all the ins and outs of a series of things that just happened.
The moonlight is like a light shadow of water, a swing rises and falls lonely under the moon, and the small shadow has the general outline of this person.
As the night wore on, the light could not see the expression on her face, and only the moment she swayed, she could be seen turning into a blurry lonely light in the moonlight.
Her hair color and pupil color seemed to have blended with the thick darkness of the night, and the swing did not know if it was due to the weathering of too much time, and every time the girl swung up or returned, the swing would make a hoarse "rustle" sound.
Judging by the girl's shadow, she should have full-length hair, slender arms and legs, and slender ankles that can be held in one hand.
"What, someone's here."
Ono muttered with some regret. But there is no way around it. After all, this is a public place, and Ono has no right to ask others to leave here, or let everyone else come here.
Hikari couldn't confirm that the girl in front of her was Kiriko, and the wildflowers emitted a quiet, elegant dark fragrance, and Hikaru took Ono's hand and sat with her on the seesaw that he hadn't touched in a long time.
Most of the seesaw's paint has been lost, revealing a not-so-beautiful rust color.
Light and Ono are like wild flowers swaying in the wind, and black shadows flicker together under the bright moon. Ono also lets out one or two irritating screams from time to time, and at first glance, Hikari and Ono are not only as close as brother and sister, but also like a couple.
The rustling of the swing gradually stopped, and the girl seemed to tilt her head to look at the light, as if she was curious that there were other idlers who were just as bored and entertaining themselves here as she was at this time.
Under the moonlight, it is the best place to miss others. The fragrance of flowers, if you can take a sip of cherry blossom wine, it can be described as poetic and picturesque, and it lives up to the beauty.
Hikari couldn't help but look at the girl, he wanted to give up, but he still persisted. After all, after many years, even if the girl sitting on the swing was Hikari's childhood playmate, I am afraid that now they will not be able to see each other again due to the passage of time and changes in themselves.
This gap cannot be solved in a few words.
"I'm back, I haven't eaten yet! Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat when we go back, so let's hurry home! ”
Ono didn't know what the meaning of just bringing her here was, anyway, she had had enough, and now Ono just wanted to hurry back home and relax.
Ono has been through so much today, coupled with the fact that she has no teaching experience, just teaching in class has exhausted her.
Ono felt like he could fall into a restful sleep as soon as he got into bed. every day
"In that case......
Light gave up helplessly.
"Alright, let's go back."
Hikari didn't deliberately make Ono unable to get off like he had done to Kiriko before, making her lie on the seesaw in fear.
Hikari still remembers the scene when he and Kiriko were separated, and they swore to each other in the sunset that they would meet again, but who knew that after they separated, it would be the end of never seeing each other again.
Guang quickly moved to another area with his family, although the distance is not too far, but no one who is idle will not go from his own community to another town that has nothing to do with him.
This time Hikari took the initiative to take Ono's hand, and since the oath he made when he was a child no longer exists, he has nothing to worry about except regrets.
"Really, what the hell do I think?"
Hikari couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"What's wrong with Hikari?"
When Ono heard this, he immediately asked with interest like a curious child.
"Ah......h
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to see an old friend."
"Old friends?"
Ono repeated in a whisper, his flaxen-colored eyes full of puzzlement and curiosity.
"It's just a friend who played with us once when I was a kid." Hikari patiently explained to Ono:
"Even though I only played with her once when I was a kid, I think I can play with her quite a bit."
"And then?"
Ono went from being a noisy child to quickly becoming a loyal listener.
"Then we moved, in a small town not far or near the opposite side, and although our family was nominally in the town, we had to walk at least another kilometer through the town to see our house."
"Sounds like a lot of trouble."
Ono nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the difficulty of the light.
"And I'm usually at home with my sister, and sometimes I play games with my 'sister' on the game console, or listen to her talk about her worries and so on."
"Is it the sister of the second dimension?"
"No, it's a real girl, it's just that we're just chatting online or playing games or something, and I'm married to her in the game."
Hikari smiled smugly at Ono.
"Hey, what's this?"
Ono was dismissive of Hikari's smugness, she felt that she had gradually become acquainted with Hikari, and even made unscrupulous jokes about Hikari.
"I'm telling you, maybe the 'sister' who married you in the game is likely to be a middle-aged scrappy uncle who can't find a girlfriend in the real world, or likes to stay at home!"
"Hmm...... I don't think so, right? ”
Hikari's face became a little ugly for a moment as if he had accidentally eaten a cake that had already deteriorated. But he had to admit that what Ono just said also had some truth, and the possibility might not be low.
"Even if all the unfortunate things you said happened to me, there is nothing I can do about it now."
Hikari shrugged helplessly as if he had given up struggling.
"Why?"
Ono forced a smile and asked.
"Because the built-in configuration of my handheld console wasn't enough to bring that game with me, and I haven't bought it since it broke."
Because at that special time, Hikari and his family sometimes even had to rely on the natural food in the mountains and open seas to spend their three meals a day.
With the light of that situation, where is the spare money to buy a handheld game console?
At this moment, the girl who was swinging suddenly jumped off the swing.
In the moonlight, the girl seemed to have beautiful shiny gold dust pouring down from her body, enveloping her in a steady stream. She took small graceful steps, quickly catching up with Hikaru and Ono, and stopped beside Hikari.
The girl suddenly spoke to the light, and her indifferent tone contained a surprise that could not be hidden.
The girl struggled to stand on her tiptoes, and whispered to him in the ear of the light:
"Hey, Xiaoguang, long time no see!"
