The Gothic gate, the orange Western-style building, the fountain in the center, and the flower pond where butterflies flutter everywhere all show the aristocratic atmosphere of this elementary school.

Class A classroom in the second year.

"Kazuki Chuyue." The teacher read another name, but this time no one shouted "Yes".

"Kazuki Chuyue?" I read it again, but still no one answered. The teacher couldn't help frowning and said to the boys in the classroom, "Mizuho Kazuki." ”

"Here!" Mizuho immediately stood up.

"What about your brother?" The teacher asked.

"Brother, he ......" Mizuho's mind flashed Chu Yue's figure, "Say he's not feeling well today......"

"Uncomfortable?" The teacher's brow furrowed even deeper, "What the hell does he want?" Otherwise, you can tell your father directly that Kazuki Chuyue doesn't want to come to school! ”

"......" was scolded by the teacher, but Mizuho just stood there, bowed his head, and didn't say a word.

"Forget it." As if sensing that he had lost his temper wrong, the teacher immediately added, "I'll have someone tell your father." ”

"Father-sama, he ......" Mizuho hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I know that my brother won't come......"

"What?!" This also surprised the teacher, although angry, but helpless, and finally waved his hand helplessly and said, "Since this is the case...... Forget it, it's up to you. Sit down. ”

After Ruisui sat down, there were more figures of Chu Yue in his mind.

"Hey! Mizuho! Beside Mizuho, Maria, who was at the same table, whispered, "What's the matter with your stupid brother?" It's been almost a month, right? Could he still ......?"

"Hmm......" Mizuho nodded.

"Alas......" Seeing Mizuho nodding, Maria could only shake her head helplessly, "That idiot, it's really not like him......"

……

At this time, the roof of the villa.

Chu Yue lay on the roof, looking at the sky, and didn't say a word.

There was a slight sound of wind in my ears, and a few white clouds floating in the blue sky were moving slowly. Occasionally, a few small birds will fly by, and everything is so peaceful.

Chu Yue sat up and looked at the forest behind the villa again. There, patches of green rippled in the wind like waves. The smell of trees in the air has a sense of freshness.

Chu Yue fell into the memory......

A month ago, on the dining table.

"Mizuho." After eating, Chu Yue said to Mizuho.

"Huh?" Mizuho looked at Chu Yue.

"Tomorrow morning...... Is there something wrong? Chu Yue asked.

"It's okay...... Moreover, Maria said that she had something at home and would not come tomorrow. In this way, my brother is also happy, and no one can disturb my brother's sleep. ”

"Uh...... Then, let's go see my mother tomorrow morning. ”

"Really?!" For Chu Yue's request, Mizuho immediately asked excitedly.

"Of course." Chu Yue smiled, "What?" ”

"Because brother, you rarely go out with me," Mizuho said.

"Really? Hehe......" Chu Yue smiled embarrassedly, "Then let's go together tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!" The rare one moved out with his brother, and Mizuho nodded happily. In normal times, Chu Yue rarely took the initiative to ask to go out with Mizuho. So, when she was outside, Mizuho was always bullied by Maria.

The next morning, Mizuho rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked towards Chu Yue's room. However, as soon as he walked to the door of Chu Yue's room, Chu Yue's door was opened by Chu Yue.

"Brother?!" Seeing that Chu Yue actually got up by herself, Mizuho looked at Chu Yue in surprise.

"It's up." Chu Yue saw Mizuho, "Huh? Haven't changed your clothes yet? ”

"Ah......h......h

"Hmm......" Chu Yue Khan.

"Since my brother is already up, then I'll ......," said Mizuho, who had already run to his room to change his clothes.

After breakfast, the two little boys headed towards the hospital.

Mizuho is still very lively, greeting acquaintances in the hospital. And when they saw Chu Yue, everyone unexpectedly didn't say anything.

When he arrived at Xingsui's door, Chu Yue knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

As soon as Chu Yue opened the door, Mizuho smiled happily, "Mother! With that, Mizuho ran towards Koho.

Koho looked at Mizuho with a smile and touched Mizuho's head. And Mizuho also showed a happy smile, enjoying her mother's touch.

Seeing Mizuho's smile, Koho smiled and then gently kissed Mizuho on the forehead.

Chu Yue closed the door and walked over to the two of them.

"Chu Yue." Kosui also smiled at Chu Yue. However, seeing Chu Yue's reluctant smile, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Brother." Seeing Chu Yue pick up the fruit knife and apple, Mizuho said, "I'll cut it!" ”

"Will you?" Chu Yue looked at Mizuho and said.

"Uh......" Mizuho hesitated. I really won't be ...... right now

"Huh." Chu Yue smiled, and then continued to peel apples.

"Chu Yue, do you know?" It seemed that he saw Chu Yue's thoughts, and Xingsui asked directly.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "When I left yesterday, I listened to what Uncle Shopkeeper and Father said......"

"......" Yusui was silent, but Mizuho was confused by the two inexplicable words, so she had to ask Chu Yue, "Brother, what?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Yue smiled, and like Xingsui, she reached out and touched Mizuho's hair. The two were about the same height, but they looked like Chu Yue was like a gentle elder......

At this time, the door opened again, and Di Mu walked in, saw Chu Yue and Ruisui, and smiled, "Chu Yue, Ruisui, you are all here." ”

"Father!" Mizuho immediately happily threw herself into Kazuki's arms again, and Kazuki smiled and hugged Mizuho into his arms, and then said, "Hehe, Mizuho has grown taller again." ”

"Hmm!" Mizuho smiled and nodded.

At this time, the shopkeeper also walked in from outside, saw Chu Yue and Mizuho were also there, and said to Timaki, "Pi Nan." ”

"Oh," was called out by the shopkeeper, and Dysaki seemed to remember something, and said to Chu Yue and Mizuho, "Chu Yue, Mizuho, can you go out first?" Adults have something to say. ”

"Hmm!" Mizuho smiled and nodded again, got out of Kamiki's arms, and walked outside with Chu Yue.

The two of them went to the hallway and sat down together on the chairs in the hospital corridor. However, after Mizuho sat down, Chu Yue said to Mizuho, "Mizuho, you are good here, don't run around." My brother will go to my mother's room, and you can wait a while. ”

"However, my father just said......" Mizuho immediately became worried.

"It's okay." Chu Yue smiled, "Ruisui just needs to be obedient." ”

"Hmm......" Because Mizuho didn't agree with what Chu Yue was doing now, he nodded reluctantly.

Chu Yue knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.

"Chu Yue?!" Seeing Chu Yue come in, the three of them all looked at Chu Yue in surprise.

"Father, uncle." Chu Yue said.

"Chu Yue, didn't you say that the adults are going to say it again?" Dysprosium looked at Chu Yue.

"Father, Uncle ...... shopkeeper" Chu Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You guys, what you said yesterday...... I, I heard ......"

"What?" Both Di Mu and the shopkeeper were startled and looked at Chu Yue.

At this time, Xingsui beckoned to Chu Yue and said, "Chu Yue, come here." ”

Chu Yue walked over to Xingsui's side. Koho took Chu Yue into his arms and said to Kazuki and the shopkeeper, "It's okay. Chu Yue is very sensible. Let's move on. ”

"......" Although Xingsui said this, Kamiki was still a little unaccustomed to it, and asked Chu Yue, "Chu Yue, do you know what we mean by what we said yesterday?" ”

"I know." In Xingsui's arms, Chu Yue said, "I know, what you said. I also know what it means to be 'dead'. But, but, it's because I know ......" Chu Yue whimpered a little as she spoke, "It's because I know ......"

Chu Yue's whimpering suddenly made the atmosphere extremely sad. Di Mu and the shopkeeper stopped talking for a while, and only Chu Yue was crying softly in the room. And Xingsui was already wiping away Chu Yue's tears while coaxing Chu Yue.

After a while, Chu Yue gradually stopped crying, looked at Di Mu and the shopkeeper, and didn't speak.

"I didn't expect Chu Yue, you are so young, but you know so much......" The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect Chu Yue to say such a thing just now, looked at Chu Yue, shook his head and didn't know what to say next, so he had to sigh, "Alas, ......"

"Chu Yue......" Di Mu walked to Chu Yue's side and stretched out his hand to wipe Chu Yue's face.

Although Chu Yue was a child picked up by the couple from the snow when she was very young, Chu Yue was very obedient and smart. Let Kazuki and Mizuho like it very much. And usually Dyskine works outside alone, and there are only Xingsui, Chu Yue, and Mizuho at home, and life has always been very happy. Until a year ago, Xingsui, who had been frail, was suddenly hospitalized again, and only Chu Yue and Ruisui were left at home, and it was because of Chu Yue that Dysprosium relieved the two of them to be at home.

But now...... Yuho's illness made Yukiho's life last more than the next week...... With such news, Dysprosy didn't plan to tell Chu Yue and Mizuho. Thinking that Mizuho is only seven years old now, although Chu Yue doesn't know how old he is, it is impossible to be more than ten years old, if he doesn't say it, over time, the two of them will gradually forget about it...... In this way, it is also better for these two children......

However, I didn't expect that Chu Yue would know about this, and Chu Yue's maturity exceeded the expectations of the shopkeeper and Dyspromi, but the two of them didn't feel a trace of joy at all.

"Chu Yue, you ...... Did you tell Mizuho? Koho asked.

Chu Yue shook her head. "I know, you don't want me and Mizuho to know......"

"Life and death, look at it a little." After all, the shopkeeper is a doctor, and he has naturally seen a lot more life and death partings. But after all, Yuho and Kazuki are both people around them, so it's impossible not to be sad...... And when he said this, I don't know if he was saying it to Chu Yue or to Di Mu.

……

Chu Yue walked out of the ward, and Ruisui hurriedly ran over, "Brother! ”

"Mizuho." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Do you like to come and see your mother?" ”

"Hmm!" Mizuho nodded. 、

"Well, shall we come to see my mother tomorrow?"

"Good!" Mizuho immediately smiled even more happily. The unhappiness that just now disagreed with Chu Yue's approach immediately disappeared.

The next day, Chu Yue and Mizuho still came to Yusui's hospital room. And this time, Mizuho also found out that grandpa also came to visit Koho. Suddenly I was even more excited. However, another day is not a weekend, and there is not so much time, and Mizuho, who is unaware, has no more requests to visit Yuho. And Chu Yue has been going to school with Mizuho, and she doesn't mention this matter anymore.

What Chu Yue and Mizuho didn't know was that every day, there would be more people in Yusui's ward. All the way, until, Koho's death......

No one told Chu Yue and Mizuho about it. Everyone knows that it is cruel to tell such a young child......

And on the weekend, when Mizuho immediately proposed to visit her mother, Chu Yue didn't speak.

At this time, Mizuho, who seemed to realize that something was wrong, finally felt a little uneasy, and immediately asked the servants next to him what was going on.

However, by this time, the last time I met my mother, it had become the last one......

……

……

"Chu Yue." A voice woke Chu Yue up from her memories, and Chu Yue turned around and saw that Dysprosium had also reached the roof.

"Father." Chu Yue said.

Di Mu walked up to Chu Yue and sat down as well. "Are you still thinking about Koho......

"......" Chu Yue didn't speak.

"Okay, don't keep thinking about it...... Kazuki said, "If Yusui is still here, I definitely don't want to see Chu Yue like this......"

"......" Chu Yue still didn't speak.

"Na, Chu Yue." Dysaki suddenly said, "Do you know, actually, there is one thing that Koho and I have been hiding from you. ”

"Father, are you saying that I am not your biological child with your mother?"

Timaki was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, "You actually know...... Yes, did Koho tell you? ”

Chu Yue shook her head, "Mother's name is Koho, and Mizuho's name is the same as Mother's. However, my name doesn't match the name of either of you. I can't remember when I started to suspect it...... Of course, it has always been a suspicion ......"

"Hehe," Kazuki said as he laughed as he reminisced, "When Koho and I found you in the snow, you were alone in the snow, and there was no one around......"

"When we picked you up, we asked your name, and you only said 'Chu Yue', and then asked you about other things, but you didn't speak."

"Although there was already Mizuho at the time, Yukiho was always too kind to leave you alone in the snow again. So, we're bringing you back......"

"It's weird to say. There are no people around that snowfield, and there are no footprints around the place where you are picked up, as if it was really given to us by God. ”

Chu Yue looked at Dysprosium, this was five years ago, and there was always a feeling of sadness when she recalled it like this......

"Although it's a thing of the past," Dysaki also looked at Chu Yue, "However, our later life is still very good, isn't it...... The world is always like this, there is a past, there is a present, and there is a future...... However, we always need to carry memories of the past, do what we need to do now, and look forward to our future......"

Dysaki said, showing a smile of love for Chu Yue.

Chu Yue was suddenly stunned, this smile ...... That's right...... It's like, Koho's smile......

couldn't help it, Chu Yue finally smiled as well.

"Hehe, it's been a month," Di Mu said with a smile, "You finally saw Chu Yue and you smiled again." ”

"I'm sorry, Father." Chu Yue said embarrassedly.

"Ah, alright." Dyskine stood up, "I heard that you haven't been to school in a month. ”

Seeing Chu Yue's uncertain expression, Di Mu laughed, and then said, "Forget it." Things in the past. I won't pursue it. However, Chu Yue, do you know the competition that your school is going to have next week? ”

"Race?" Chu Yue asked. After all, I haven't been there for a month, so how can I know that there is a competition?

"Hmm. Games competitions. Kamiki smiled and said, "I've already signed you up, you must go." ”

Chu Yue couldn't help but smile, "Father, the competition or something, if I don't go to school, will you punish me?" ”

"Hehe, my baby," Dysaki picked Chu Yue up, "Now that Kosui is not here, you and Mizuho are my closest people, how can I be willing to punish you." ”

……

A week later.

Chu Yue walked into the school, only to find that the school was empty. On the other side of the stadium, there was a noise. Thinking of the sports meeting, Chu Yue walked towards the stadium again.

Sure enough, the stadium was full of people at this time. When Chu Yue walked in, just as a gunshot rang out, the contestants on the field began to run quickly.

Chu Yue didn't know where Class A was in the second year, and she didn't know what competition that stupid dad had signed up for her, so she had to find a teacher and ask, "Teacher, I want to know when my competition is." ”

"Time?" The teacher said, "There's a schedule of games over there." ”

"But...... I don't know what kind of competition I'm participating in, eh......" Chu Yue said honestly.

"Huh?" The teacher was stunned.

"That...... My father signed me up, so I only know that I have a competition, and I don't know anything else......"

Only then did the teacher understand and nodded, "That's it......" After all, this is an aristocratic school, and it is common for some parents to want to register their children directly. But like Chu Yue, he didn't even report any games...... Belch...... Very little......

The teacher immediately pointed out a direction for Chu Yue, "Do you see the teacher over there?" There's information about all the contestants, so go there and check it out. ”

"Thank you, teacher! Goodbye, teacher! After Chu Yue finished speaking, she ran in the direction pointed by the teacher.

"Hehe, now the child." After the teacher finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly and went to do his own thing.

And Chu Yue ran to the teacher's side and asked, "Teacher, I want to check my competition." ”

"Race?" The teacher asked, "Which class are you?" What is your name? ”

"Class A of the second year, Kazuki Chuyue."

"Hmm...... I'll take a look......" The teacher searched for a document and found it immediately, but he was also surprised and said, "Drink!" So much?! ”

And Chu Yue also came over to take a look, and suddenly the headdress protruded several crosses......

On the document, behind Chu Yue's name, every movement is ticked...... Obviously, every sport is signed up!

"Alas......" In the end, Chu Yue could only sigh helplessly, so many sports, of course, it is impossible to participate in them all, Chu Yue thought about it, and simply didn't participate. Anyway, it's not fun to compete with so many children.

As soon as Chu Yue thought so, a person on the field ran over, Chu Yue felt a little familiar, and turned his head to see that it was Maria. And behind Maria, Mizuho also tried to follow. And behind these two people, there are other people.

Chu Yue couldn't help but shout loudly at Mizuho, "Mizuho! Come on! More than Mary! ”

"Brother?!" Hearing this familiar voice, Mizuho was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look in the direction of Chu Yue.

And at this time, the others would be waiting for Mizuho, and they all immediately ran over from Mizuho. Mizuho also quickly reacted and continued to run his own, but in the end, he could only fall into the penultimate position......

"Brother!" And after the game, Mizuho was not unhappy at all because of this, but ran to Chu Yue's side happily, "Brother! You're finally here! ”

"Mizuho." Chu Yue smiled.

"Hey, you've finally appeared." Mary also ran over with a gold medal marked with the number "1" around her neck.

"It's a pity, Mizuho had a chance to surpass you in the end." Chu Yue said with some regret.

"Cut, it's not you yet, I've distracted Mizuho." Mary said, and immediately remembered, "That's right! Didn't you also participate in the competition? Why didn't I see you play? ”

"Just came." Chu Yue shrugged and told the truth.

"Sure enough, it's a lazy guy." Maria directly belittled Chu Yue.

At that moment, a teacher with a camera came up and said, "Come, Maria, take a picture!" ”

"Hmm!" Maria nodded, then looked at Mizuho and put her arm on Mizuho's shoulder, and Mizuho quickly said, "Brother is still over there!" ”

"Cut, leave him alone!" Although Maria said this, Mizuho hurriedly pulled Chu Yue to the other side of her. So, a photo of three people was photographed.

In the later movements, Chu Yue also did not participate. Ruisui asked, and Chu Yue just said, "I don't want to go." I didn't want to go in the first place, but my father reported it to me. ”

"But...... In that case...... Mizuho said, "I always feel a little sorry for my father." ”

"So, does Mizuho want me to compete?" Chu Yue asked.

"Hmm!" Mizuho nodded, "I know my brother is very powerful!" If you participate in the competition, you will definitely win the first place! ”

"Uh...... "Chu Yue Khan, how do you know?"

"Then brother and I are going to the next competition!" Mizuho said, "Swimming competition! ”

"Okay." Looking at Mizuho's smile, Chu Yue smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Did Maria also participate?" ”

"Hmm!" Mizuho nodded.

"Hehe......" Chu Yue showed a malicious smile.

The other photo seems to be somewhat similar to the previous one, because it seems that Chu Yue's position and Maria's position have been reversed......
