Qianantitian Chengyu opened his mouth and did not speak.

The whole person was like a basin of cold water that suddenly woke him up from his drowsy nap, piercing and chaotic.

His head was cloudy, his throat was dry and hoarse, and his whole person was like Chinese medicine that had lost his spirituality after soaking in stubble after stubble.

Shimonji Kasui reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, while also stabilizing his crumbling body. Chitanda subconsciously hugged this tenderness tightly.

Silent, the raindrops that suddenly fell on the window were reflected in his eyes, and Qianantitian Chengyu came back to his senses slightly......

"Why is it raining all of a sudden?"

Shiwen looked out the window, shook his head and nodded: "You should go home early." ”

Go home......?

"Love Ruu her...... Did you say anything? Thinking about her thoughts, Chitanda Chengyu couldn't help but ask her more.

She looked a little hesitant, her brows furrowed slightly, but she still said, "She asked me to keep it secret for her." ”

"Then how did you tell me?"

Qian Yantian looked out the window, only feeling that his heart was full of emotions, like this wisp of spring rain, cutting constantly, and the reason was still messy.

"I didn't promise her...... Cute and ......"

Shiwen snorted awkwardly, only to make Qianantitian Chengyu cry and laugh, "You...... Again, cute? ”

"Well, I told her you were here the night before yesterday. I...... Of course, you can't hide it from her. ”

“………”

Sentanda Chengyu smiled bitterly and gently rubbed her head.

In a trance, he remembered what Long Yingtai wrote in "Dear Andre":

"In life, one decision leads to another, one chance is destined to another, so chance is never accidental, one road is bound to go to the next, and there is no turning back."

………

When I walked out of the social office, more rain was falling, and the scenery in my field of vision was already completely misty and rainy.

Sentanda Chengyu walked down the mountain quickly, retrieved the bicycle, hid under the eaves of a street, and called Airu.

The small raindrops hit his face, as if to moisten his dry heart again.

Looking back at the Aranan Shrine hidden in the smoke and rain, if the gods were really watching him, he didn't know what wishes he would make.

It's just that it's sad and bitter for a while.

When the phone was connected, he first said, "I'll go home in a while." ”

The earpiece echoes the familiar sound of Ruu's tiny breathing, as if she is trying to adjust.

"Good morning, brother. I'm here...... I'm outside. It looks like it's starting to rain. Elder brother should pay attention to safety on the road. ”

"Airu, did you bring an umbrella?"

Ai Ru on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, but still answered honestly: "No." ”

"Where is it now? Let's take the bus back together...... No...... Let's have a coffee. Bush branches in shopping streets, or late cherry blossoms along the riverside streets? ”

Airu's tone was not relaxed, nor was it neat: "Then ...... Bush clover. ”

The bush clover is a flower that is often praised in Japanese scarlet sentences, and it is one of the famous autumn seven grasses that are beautiful and subtle. The flowers are small and the bouquets are densely clustered together.

It has a special flower language.

Chitanda didn't know if Airu knew what it meant, but it didn't prevent him from being more at ease.

……

On a drizzly spring morning, the "Bush Branch" coffee shop has just opened its doors.

Chitanda Chengyu rode to the front of the store, and didn't see Airu's whereabouts, so he went to the convenience store and bought an umbrella to come out, and after thinking about it, he went back and bought another one.

There was no outside music, and the sound of rain was kept out.

Sentanda Chengyu waited quietly in the coffee shop, watching the hot coffee gently float the milk skin, and slowly dissipate the heat.

He silently thought about the flower language of Hu Zhizi.

One minute

Two minutes

Bush twigs are always shy and contemplative;

One hour,

Two hours,

Only blind love that thinks with the heart and is not attached to love is true love;

Five hours,

Six hours,

Whether you are confused or awake, love is love;

The spring rains did not become stronger or lessened, but just poured and flowed.

In the afternoon, there was already a feeling before dusk, and Airu didn't come......

Sentanda Chengyu got up to check out and left, and rode to the bus stop, although it was a little stormy, it was not a big deal.

The rain at this time should be quite good, and the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed, so naturally they will not be knocked down.

And after this storm, the weather can also warm up well.

The bus home, the bus to Jinde, runs every hour.

Counting the time that was almost right, Chitanda got into the car smoothly. There were a lot of empty seats, so he found a place by the window and sat down, silently looking at the scenery outside.

The familiar streetscape rewinds like a dream, and soon the bus leaves the city.

After passing through the intersection between a large gas station with four dispensers and a burger joint that offers ride-and-ride food shopping, the bus took to the auxiliary road to Jinde.

The route of this bus was not the usual way to ride a bicycle home, and after a little detour, Sentanda Narita pressed the get off button at Jinide South Station on the way home.

Walking out of the small station in the open air, there is a pastoral field with sparse greenery in the misty spring rain, scattered with several families like a supporting role.

The terrain rises again from a vague distance, until it reaches the other side of the green mountains, where the peaks of the Kamigaki covered with permanent snow rise majestically.

For this, Qiantantian Chengyu was naturally familiar with it, he held up an umbrella and walked towards a house with a triangular roof and a white-walled warehouse behind a hedge.

This is the Yokote family, which is a distant relative of the Chitanda family, but Chitanda Chengyu did not alarm the people inside.

Instead, he quietly bypassed the small courtyard and the slab walls, and came to the lonely tall warehouse, where there were no other buildings around.

Since I was a child, I often hide here whenever I have something on my mind. Although it is abandoned now, if there is any place where she is most likely to go now......

The triangular roof, the white façade painted with mortar, and the wooden double doors with baby's fist-sized iron rivets embedded in a row from top to bottom look quite sturdy.

The rivet has a round hole in the lock that pierces it, and although the key to Sentanda Narita is still at home, the lock that should have hung on it is gone.

Chitanda Chengyu pushed the door and didn't move, but Chitanda Chengyu already knew that his sister was inside.

He called, "Airu...... It's ...... me."

There was a dead silence in the warehouse.

Chitanda didn't give up, put away his umbrella, and sat down with his back against the wooden door.

The eaves of this storehouse do not protrude much, so it is not a good place to shelter from the rain, and you can only barely get wet when you sit under the eaves.

"Can you hear me? Shall we just talk like that? ”

"Good ......"

This time I heard the answer. Her voice trembled slightly.

Sentanda Chengyu couldn't help but sigh and looked up at the gloomy sky with rain lingering. Only the sound of rain still sounded.

"I didn't come to the coffee shop because ...... Has Ruu already made a decision? ”

"Elder brother can always figure out everything......"

Chitanda was silent for a moment, and said gloomily, "I failed you...... Can we ever go back to square one? ”

"Brother, I can't forget all of it......" Even through the door, you can feel Airu's heart-wrenching crying.

Soft noises filled every corner of the eye.

"That'...... Shall we move on? ”
