Cherry blossom hairpin, pure love?
"Chunyang-san, wait for me."
I stood there and turned my head to look at her.
"Sakuraku-san?"
She ran up to me, gasping for air.
"Let's go home together?"
"If you're not afraid of causing any gossip, you can."
Maybe I should just say no, it would be a better solution.
"What, what gossip can there be between us."
"I hope so."
At this time, it was sunset, and we walked in the evening glow, quite like a couple.
We walked like this, and every now and then she would ask me questions like "my hobbies" and so on, and I would be silent for most of the questions she asked.
"Would you mind coming home later?"
Still silent, she walked briskly to the front and turned to face me.
"How about we go to the park?"
"No, I don't really like that kind of place."
"Well, I thought Chunyang-san, you would be happy about this."
“……”
When I got home, I threw my schoolbag aside, because I had just finished the exam today, the teacher did not leave homework, but let us have a good rest, I sat on the desk in the room, and began to record everything for today.
Then, thoughts flew up.
But I always feel that today is not the same as before, but this feeling is indescribable and inexplicable.
The knock on the door was abrupt, pulling me back to reality.
"Chunyang-san, are you at home?"
"Sakuraku, what is she doing here?" I muttered to myself, put the journal away, and rushed to open the door.
"Sakuraku-san, aren't you going home?"
"Well, when I got home from school today, I found that I had left my key at school, and now there is no one at home."
"So, you can't go home now, can you?"
"Hmm."
"Come in."
The Sunshine Community does not belong to the school district, so there are not many student families, and I am the only one in the whole class who lives with Sakuraku in the Sunshine Community, so she can't come back to the house to find me, which is not surprising to me.
"By the way, Chunyang, my parents may not be able to come back today, and my cousin is also with my parents now."
I was visibly frozen as I closed the door, and I thought I already knew what she was going to say.
"I might have to spend the night at your house." She lowered her head, looking embarrassed.
Sure enough, there are some things that must be asked, after all, I don't want my uncles and aunts who I haven't met in the future to be hostile to me at the first sight of me.
"Won't your parents mind?"
"Probably not."
Yes, an ambiguous answer, but what can I do, there seems to be no other way at the moment, but I still have a glimmer of hope that her parents will come back.
"We can go outside first and wait until we come back to see if my uncle and aunt are home, otherwise you will be very worried if they don't see them when they come back."
"Well, thank you, Chunyang-san, for causing you trouble."
"No, you didn't mean to."
……
But I forgot something, it was past seven o'clock, many shops were closed, and those places that were slightly ornamental were closed, and we didn't seem to have any place to go.
So we just walked aimlessly down the street.
"Why don't we go to that park." She said, "No, okay, Chunyang-san, you don't like that kind of place very much." ”
"If you want to go, you can, I just don't like it, but I can't say I hate it."
"Shall we go to the park, then?"
"Hmm."
In this way, I finally went to the park with her, and here, even at night, there was still a constant stream of pedestrians, and all kinds of lights illuminated everything, which added to the bustle.
But I was naturally very tired of the noisy environment in the park, and it only made me feel that my dying life was out of place in this world full of life and joy.
And she was very happy, and walked around me, looking left and right, as if the whole world was not enough for her to see.
"Selling sugar gourds ......" such cries come and go.
"Do you want to eat?" I looked at her, and anyone could see her longing eyes.
"But I didn't have any money."
"I don't like to owe people anything, didn't you invite me to drink juice before?"
Although it was "forced", I silently added a sentence in my heart.
"Then you're welcome."
"Grandpa, come two strings of sugar gourds, thank you, he pays."
She dragged me to my grandfather, who was buying sugar gourds, and pointed at me again.
I looked at her helplessly, but there was nothing to say.
Maybe I didn't even realize that in the past two days, I have become a little different from before, maybe because she probably knew about my illness and made me reveal some of my true self under disguise.
……
"Chunyang-san, don't you really eat it? It's delicious. ”
"No, I'm not a big fan of sweets."
"You should call this anorexia."
“……”
We talked as we looked around and occasionally bought some snacks, and in a blink of an eye it was eight o'clock.
"Chunyang, there are hairpins for sale there, and it seems that Geng Li and Chunfeng are also here."
"Hmm." I looked at the place she was pointing to, and sure enough, I spotted two familiar figures.
They apparently spotted us and waved at us, too.
She and I walked over there.
"Chunyang, why are you here, no, that's not the point, why are you with Sakuraluo, are you ......" Geng Li showed a shocked look "You actually ......"
"Geng Li, you misunderstood, it's not what you think, we just came out together for some special reasons." She argued.
I think I should be grateful that she didn't say that particular reason, after all, I might sleep in my house for a while, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it away even if I jump into the Yellow River.
But Chun Breeze kept looking at me with a strange look, and I thought he was upset that I was with Sakuraku, after all, based on his performance today, I could see that he liked Sakuraku a little.
"Brother, where do you live now?"
"Naturally, it's to live at home." I looked at him.
"I've been looking for you at home, and if you're not there, there's no trace of anyone living there."
"Is that home?"
I didn't pay any attention to the spring breeze, but took Sakura's hand and walked to another nearby shop selling hairpins, but they didn't follow, which was expected by me, after all, I have been with the spring breeze for fifteen years and know him very well.
"Well, sorry, I ...... just now" I let go of my grip on her, her cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's fine." She looked at me with a smile, "However, in my impression, Chunyang is the first time to look like this." ”
"......," I set my eyes on the hairpins in the shop.
"Do you want to buy a hairpin?"
"Really?"
"Hmm."
The hairpin seller was a sister in her twenties, who smiled briskly when she saw us coming.
"Do you want to buy hairpins? I made it myself, and basically every piece is a limited edition. ”
Indeed, none of the hairpins placed are the same, scattered on a piece of red cloth, and each one is extremely exquisite.
"How's this one?" Sakuraku carefully picked up a pink hairpin that was placed in the center of the red cloth.
"Sakura hairpin, I feel like I'm a good match, what do you think of Chunyang."
"Well, it's beautiful." I symbolically perfunctory.
"You're supposed to be a couple, right? Cherry blossoms symbolize hope and love, and I hope you will have a love as pure as cherry blossoms. ”
I think this sister misunderstood our relationship, but she said so, and it is impossible to break the atmosphere by saying those inappropriate things and adding disgust.
So in this case, I can only express my gratitude.
"Thank you." I spoke, and at the same time paid the price of the cherry blossom hairpin.
"Thank you for coming to my business."
"Chunyang, we're not ......" she obviously hadn't reacted yet.
"Sakuraku, is there anything else you'd like to buy?"
"It seems to be gone."
We "naturally" disappeared in front of the sister and arrived in a very secluded place.
"Chunyang, why didn't you explain our relationship just now?"
"I just don't want to embarrass that sister."
"But you're embarrassing me, and you're not taking my feelings into account." She had a very serious expression, staring at me uncomfortably.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
Before I could finish speaking, she laughed.
"This kind of Chunyang classmate is really cute, and it's very gentle, maybe if you confess to me, I will really consider being your girlfriend."
