"If you want to go, I won't stop you, but have you really figured it out?"

"I don't have anything to hesitate about."

"Isn't that right? Yono, think about it again, have you really thought it through? ”

"Of course, I ......!"

"Don't be in a hurry to answer yet, let me ask you, do you know the price of doing this?"

“......”

"Now, you know that, right?"

“......”

"I'll ask again, Yono, have you really, thought it through?"

“......”

Students can't beat teachers.

This is a mantra that Yono used to make fun of Hiratsuka Shizune once upon a time, but, incredible, probably this is the so-called flag, or else......

Why now I can only choose silence.

Ahhhh

Haunted, really.

Xiaojing, you're really troublesome.

I don't think I've ever met a friend as interesting as you, but I've never had a tougher enemy.

"I guess I already know, but I'll be long-winded."

Unlike Yono, who was sitting in a precarious position, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was comfortably leaning on the sofa, seemed to be worried about the other party leaving directly.

"This time it was not only boring but also troublesome, and it might be dangerous if you weren't careful, so I think it's the safest choice to quit now."

“...... Is this a warning? ”

"It's advice."

There was no obvious fluctuating emotion in the words, and Hiratsuka's unwavering gaze never left Yangno's body.

"If I want to do this, even if it continues like this, it will only make you regret it."

“...... So what? ”

Slowly, a smile reappeared on Yang Nai's face, which was calm, relieved, a little unwilling and full of determination.

She had already made up her mind.

From the moment she rejected that dreamlike future and chose the path to the abyss, she had no intention of turning back.

She had already chosen to give up, giving up being by his side with that enviable identity, and she chose a path that would never have a future.

She knows, she always knows, even if she has regretted it countless times to death, she will never look back, she must go on.

Someone has to play the role of savior.

Yang Nai couldn't bear to look at Luo Tianshu's back forever, but Yang Nai couldn't bear to watch him walk towards the abyss step by step.

Someone had to save him, give him salvation, and tell him the right way.

Hiratsuka is right, an accident is an accident, and a plural accident is fate.

Perhaps, it was not fate that chose her, but she chose fate, she chose the fate of loneliness, she chose the fate of sadness, she chose the fate that would never be thanked by anyone but must continue.

Maybe no one will understand her, but that's okay.

He understands, he understands, he can read himself.

That's enough.

A person's night walk is terrifying, but if he can be by his side, it will be enough.

She gave up everything, and all she wanted was such a small wish.

If you want to talk about it, Yono's determination doesn't seem to be firm, because often she hides in the corner and regrets it, fantasizing about the future in her dreams, but fortunately she is a stubborn person.

Or rather, it's a clumsy talent.

Rather than struggle to find a way to regret, she would rather continue to move forward towards a sad future.

The reason or something, it doesn't matter at all, if she could turn back so easily, she wouldn't have come to this day, so no matter what Hiratsuka Jing says, Yono won't back down.

I want to make a promise with tears, and I don't want it to become a lie like this.

"It's a bit of a waste of time."

Between breaths, Yang Nai is no longer afraid of any future, as long as she closes her eyes and can still recall that golden figure, she has nothing to fear!

"It's rude to interrupt other people's parent-child conversations, but unfortunately, I don't really like things like rules by nature."

"Really......"

There was an incomprehensible sigh in his tone, looking at Yang Nai, who was no longer confused in his eyes, Hiratsuka's smile was slightly bitter.

"Looks like you've figured it out."

"No, Xiaojing, I've never hesitated."

"Haha, that's it, hey, it's like this."

Looking at Yono, who had already made up his mind, Hiratsuka shook his head with a wry smile, a faint tiredness flashed in his eyes, as if he was lamenting the growth of the student.

The bitterness at the corners of her mouth faded, and she closed her eyes gently.

The clouds that obscured the sun from the sky finally dissipated, and the warm light once again passed through the windowsill, dispelling the coldness of the room little by little.

Faintly, Yono seemed to be able to hear the chirping of birds outside the window, and then looked back at the empty birdcage, and everything seemed to be so harmonious.

The sound of the wind seemed to be in their ears, the blue sky had never changed color, and the darkness of the past was just that they had accidentally stood under the passing clouds.

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Yono's mouth, and when she looked away from the birdcage behind her and slowly turned back, she saw Hiratsuka Shizune also smiling at her.

Her gaze is still so casual, without too much emotion, no different from the interesting teacher in her memory, her eyes without waves seem to encourage others, and she will not hide the words that she can't say in her eyes.

There was a sweet smell in the air.

Hazy, warm, as if saturated, the light in the room was so calm, like a dream world, they sat face to face, laughing, just like they had been.

In Yang Nai's heart, there has always been such a feeling.

Hiratsuka-sensei is a beautiful person, not by appearance, but by her presence.

Whether it's the bad habit of smoking or the habit of violence, it can't be called "beautiful", but Yono thinks that Hiratsuka is the most beautiful person in the world.

There was no reason, she just felt so, the teacher sat in front of her, stared at her so quietly, that he could not read anything in his eyes, and he could not read anything in his smile, as if it were distant and mysterious and yet seemed to be within reach.

She thinks this is the most beautiful existence in the world.

No matter how many times, it seems that whenever he sees her like this, Yono will call her name while waving his hand.

No matter how many times.

That's why she didn't understand, why-

Why at that time, this teacher, who was the most beautiful teacher in the world in her heart, would say such things.

At that time, Yang Nai probably didn't say a word of thank you in his mouth, but before that, the teacher spoke first-

"So, what about Yukino?"

At that moment, the sound of the wind seemed to be heard no more.
