Nonsense about the beginning of the previous chapter.

That is to say, don't think about it, read more books.

☆

The last time I saw the cat was at the end of school.

It walked slowly on the side of the road, I couldn't see its destination, it just paced slowly, gracefully and calmly.

There was a psychological club activity that day, and by the time school was out, the sunset had already dyed half of the sky red. The white cat was also a little red, and its outline was blurring on the side of the road.

I still haven't been able to see if its eyes are heterochromic pupils.

Faintly disappeared from sight, but I didn't follow. It's just that even though I was curious, it didn't get me to take action.

There is such a faint feeling, and there is a lot more in life, which makes me feel that "this is everyday life".

But I soon left the cat behind, because I immediately noticed a dangerous aura. But it's not so much a danger as a headache.

Well, standing behind me now is Li Xinmu, her gaze burning my back, which makes me a little stiff.

As for why I knew it was Li Xinmu and not someone else, it was because a word had just come in my ear that made me tremble.

"Hey, why don't you talk to me!"

Yes, I've been avoiding Li Xinmu consciously or unconsciously in the new week, and this is not physically leaving the space where she is, although I have also behaved like this.

I'm avoiding talking to Li Xinmu.

Well, as for why, I actually think it's super naïve. It's not for any other reason, now that I see Li Xinmu's face, I'm at a loss, so it's okay if I don't look at it.

Ostrich?

In addition, ostriches do not run away from danger, and their claws are the best weapon.

No, no, it's far away.

(I would never say that it has been 500 words, and it should be 15+ on the main line)

"Uh, hi~"

In the stiffness, I turned around to prove that I was a polite person. It's just that I feel like the joints are having a hard time moving, and I feel that something is not quite right in this scene.

It was my hand, which was shamelessly shaking gently towards Li Xinmu, who was right now in front of me.

Ahem, it's never my problem, it's my hands that don't obey!

I get a little relief from thinking about it.

"Humph!"

Li Xinmu angrily walked over and kicked me, but stopped when it came into contact with my calf.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, and normal movement can still be maintained."

"Hmm."

In the setting sun, where the sun is setting in the distance is the origin of the brilliant fiery clouds. The red stretches until it covers the entire sky.

And under this firmament, we are just two very small people.

But it's still enough, and the gentleness of this world is that it can hold everyone.

But it's also cruel.

"Let's go eat, there's a new store nearby."

"Huh? Okay. ”

"By the way, I don't pay for it."

"Really, although it's not impossible for me to have a treat."

I was already aware of it when Li Xinmu said the first sentence. I may not be able to get rid of my present self at all, and I am so bad that I can even consider it satisfying to speak.

That sentence broke through the dam I wanted to build, and the torrent of emotion still worked again in my body, spreading throughout my body as the blood spread.

I'm so down that I just run away from it. It's like a cat craving warmth by the fireside, and I don't want to leave anymore.

Maybe that's the kind of person I am.

"Let's go, what are you doing here?"

Li Xinmu disturbed my thoughts, those pair of purple pupils were so beautiful.

Why, can she be so warm?

Being with Li Xinmu wasn't as awkward as I thought, because I had been experiencing a silent dinner table, which made me resist such a two-person table.

But Li Xinmu is still much more dazzling than the psychological barrier as thin as that layer of paper, like a rising sun, this piece of paper is burned out in the heat.

But I just want the sun not to leave me.

It's an elegant café that stands out from the crowd in the middle of a tall building.

The well-decorated façade is indeed full of flavor, and it is a feeling of relaxation and peace of mind. On the other hand, the girl with a single ponytail, bangs tucked to the side, and crystalline purple pupils, drinking coffee like a kitten.

Girls like to eat desserts, or mostly, and most of them are the ones I've seen.

No one hates delicious food, but is it really okay to like it so much?

I looked out the window at the crowd of people, and there was no expression on their faces, perhaps because I didn't look closely. They were wearing different clothes and walking in different directions.

It's not a powerful step, but an orderly run like a collective.

Everyone keeps a distance from the people around them, whether it is forward or right, this seemingly one-like organization will make everyone move in an orderly manner through precise coordination, and there will be a place for you to go forward, but there will be gaps to drill elsewhere.

And this café has also ushered in a peak, groups of people order different meals, but they pay the same price.

It's like an orderly alternation, crowded but not blocked.

The rush hour was over quickly, and just as I wondered why there were so many people here, the crowd dispersed to reveal a monster with a huge mouth that looked like it was buried in the ground.

Yes, that's the subway entrance.

"Well, this coffee is okay."

I finally finished that cup of coffee, and I looked for my shadow in the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Hmm, indeed~"

Looking at Li Xinmu, who had 3 bags of saccharin next to the cup, I smiled softly and gently.

She smiled mischievously too.

I think that's it for today.

But something wasn't quite right, a cat walked by outside the window, and it shuttled through the crowd.

I've never seen this cat.

It dodged the legs of pillar-like pedestrians and walked through the window.

The place where the floor-to-ceiling windows meet the ground is covered with rubber, and from this view, there is the trace of the cat.

The afterglow of the setting sun was still struggling, and the cat's color was changing, but I didn't care.

"Li Xinmu, look outside."

"See what?"

"The cat?"

"Huh?"

The cat's ears had soft short hair, which I knew would be pleasant to the touch, and the warm, vein-dense ears felt nice to the touch.

But now the ears are shocking to me.

"See, there's a prototype hole."

I finally knew why my eyes were drawn to the hole, like the cat outside my door, regular and rounded.

It was the cat that didn't look back, twisted its tail and disappeared at the end of the sidewalk, and I couldn't see it anymore.

But I can still see the orange cat that often appears at my doorstep and feels warm to the touch.
