Jokes about dying people, that's what I think unconsciously.

"Sakuraku-san, it's better not to have this kind of joke."

"Slightly~"

"Want to play something more? It's past eight o'clock. ”

"I heard that there is a fireworks at nine o'clock, or to celebrate the beginning of the school season, can you go back after watching this fireworks?"

"Hmm."

"Chunyang."

I was a little weird when she suddenly called out my name without any embellishment.

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me pin the hairpin?"

“……”

I was a little overwhelmed.

"Maybe if I had to do something else, it wouldn't look good."

It took me a long time before I could hold back such a sentence. But this time, she was silent, turned around quietly, and let me play with her silky hair.

As a boy who has lived alone for three years, how could I have come into contact with these things, only in some scattered memories, I vaguely remember that my father had pinned hairpins for my mother, and I just thought it was funny at the time, so I watched it every day, and naively thought that I would not have hairpins for the girl I liked in the future, and all these thoughts burst like a bubble three years ago.

My very clumsy hands, with unskilled techniques, it would be strange if I could not do well, but I was extra careful, according to the scene in my memory, carefully and carefully, I don't understand why I am like this, maybe it is to fulfill the dream of a few years ago, for the girl I like not to hairpin, or something......

I didn't expect it to take me five minutes.

"Alright." My hands left her hair, but suddenly I felt an indescribable sense of loss.

"I didn't think you would do this in Chunyang."

"Let's go over there and watch the fireworks." I ignored what she had said and pointed to the stone bridge over the nearby lake, where most of the people had gone to the rooftop, which should be quieter, and I was used to staying in such quiet corners.

"Hmm."

“……”

On the stone bridge, without the rendering of street lamps, it seems particularly quiet, and by the moonlight, we stroll in the meantime.

When you are tired of walking, rest at the end of the bridge.

She took off her shoes and put her feet on the surface of the lake.

I just watched.

"Chunyang, did you say that you don't like to owe others?"

"Hmm."

"What if it's sincere? Will you pay it back? ”

At this moment, we looked at each other, our hair hanging down on her sideburns, and fireworks dancing in the night sky, leaving endless splendor but as if they were just foiling her.

"No, it won't." I replied with certainty that I had never had that kind of courage and I did not dare to take that kind of responsibility, because I was a man who was ready to die, and was destined not to leave any more joy, so it was better to treat it as if I had never lived in it than to love and leave some traces of sorrow that were dispensable.

"Then it looks like the girl who likes you in the future is going to school." She still spoke in a brisk tone.

I didn't answer, but quietly watched the fireworks go off in the air.

It was such a long time that I only felt like it had passed, and she leaned on my shoulder while the fireworks were in full bloom.

"Asleep?" I turned my head slightly, and the delicate sleeping face was presented in front of me.

I didn't pay attention to the tears under the fireworks, I only knew the helpless wandering under the moonlight.

When the sky was no longer gorgeous, she still leaned lightly on her shoulder.

"It's really troublesome." I wanted to wake her up, but when I thought of her performance at school today, she was so distracted that she almost fell asleep in class.

It's close to ten o'clock, and even in the park, the people are almost gone.

I put one hand around her to prevent her from falling, and the other helped her put her shoes on, and when I was done, I thought I should be glad that the Sunshine Community was not too far away, otherwise I would not have been able to go back.

I took her in my arms and walked in the direction of home with the guidance of the street lamp.

Since the person in my arms was asleep, I didn't dare to make a big move, but even this woke her up.

Maybe it's because of me, but I can't rule out the sound of car horns.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw me, and the crimson color instantly spread to every corner of her cheeks.

"Spring, Chunyang?"

"Awake? I'm sorry, it seems that the movement is a bit big, do you want to continue like this, or do you want to go by yourself? ”

I looked at the traffic lights ahead and unconsciously slowed down.

"I, I'll just go by myself, Chunyang, you let me down."

"Hmm."

I let her go, felt my arm tingle slightly, and stopped for the red light to end.

She was still blushing, which was a little puzzled to me.

"Why didn't you wake me up when you left?"

"You haven't been in a good state of mind at school today, even after your lunch break, are you lacking sleep?"

“……”

She didn't say anything more, and I was so happy.

We didn't have a word to say before we arrived at the complex.

She looked in the direction of her home, but the lights didn't seem to be as bright as I had hoped.

"Didn't you come back?"

"Well, I'm sorry I can only spend the night at your house."

“……”

The rest of the occupants seem to have fallen asleep, and the only thing that seems to echo in the building is our footsteps.

I took out the key to open the door, changed into slippers, and turned on the light, as usual, only this time there was one more person.

"Have you been in your house for a long time? Why don't you and Chunfeng live together, aren't you brothers? ”

"Why live with him?"

I'm starting to get busy for tomorrow, opening the kettle first, and the dishes and chopsticks for tomorrow are ready.

"It's already ten o'clock, I advise you not to think about these useless, there are toothpaste, toothbrushes and tooth tanks in the bathroom that have not been unpacked, if you want to take a shower, remember to lock the door, you must know that you lack sleep, go to bed early."

But the answer to me was silence.

Slightly surprised, I put down the glass of water in my hand and walked to the bathroom, only to see her clutching her stomach.

"What's wrong? Menstrual cramps? Wait, I'll pour you some hot water. ”

Somehow, seeing her in such pain, I was a little anxious and worried like I had never seen before.

I hurriedly poured hot water into the cup and rushed over to her to hand it over.

"How? Is it better? ”

"It hurts, it hurts."

When the sparkling liquid left from the corner of her eye, my brain was left blank.

I hurried to my room, rummaged through my large bag of medication for painkillers, and mixed a glass of warm water

"Come, take the medicine, it should be better."

I put the medicine in her mouth and told her to finish the warm water.

In just a few minutes, sweat was already dripping from my body.

"Chunyang, I want to lie down in bed for a while."

"Hmm."

I carried her to the bed in my room, and luckily my mattress was soft.

"You lie down first, I'll make a cup of brown sugar ginger water, remember to call me if there's anything."

"Hmm."

I ran to the kitchen, hurriedly lit the fire, and took a glass of water, and the brown sugar was placed on the condiment, but the ginger had to be cut by myself, and I was too anxious to start the knife as soon as it was washed.

"Boom-Boom-Boom"

"Shhh The blood flowed from my index finger, but I couldn't care so much, I rinsed it again, put it in the pot, poured water and started to cook slowly, I waited anxiously, but I felt that every second was so long, these five minutes were like a normal five hours, finally the water boiled, I poured the brown sugar into it again, and began to stir with a spoon, and finally poured it into a cup.

Ignoring my injury, I took the brown sugar ginger water to my room, she was still covering her stomach with a cup of hot water, but her expression was not as painful as it began, tears and cold sweat soaked part of the sheet.

"Are you feeling better?" I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding her brown sugar ginger water with a spoon one bite at a time.

"Well, it's better, it's just that the water is a little hot." She spoke softly, but it was so weak that I could barely hear it.

"Is it hot?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

I continued to feed, only this time it would blow off before feeding her.

Finally, after a cup of feeding, I breathed a sigh of relief.

She fell asleep groggily, and I covered her with the quilt, drew the curtains, removed the hairpin from her hair and put it on the table, silently withdrew, and closed the door.

Now I realized that my clothes were already soaking wet, and it was half past ten when I looked at the clock hanging in the living room.

"Looks like I'm going to have to take a shower."

After taking a shower, I found my clothes, set my alarm clock, took my medicine, and fell asleep on the couch.

Today, I'm tired......
