Then, finally, it was their turn.

The female staff in charge of the operation opens the door of the Ferris wheel. While talking very much!!

"Oh, it's nice to date your big brother. Have a handsome big brother to play with you. “

As a result, Xiang Nan immediately replied: "He is not human." “

Only one sentence was left, which made the staff freeze on the spot. Then sit down in the twin wheels by yourself.

"What are you doing in a daze, Wu Zheng, why don't you come in quickly."

Wu Zheng, who was hesitating, had to be reluctant to make up his mind when he heard her words.

Yes, sir!! One

With a bitter face, he looked like he was about to cry, and he moved very slowly, slowly, and cautiously into the Ferris wheel. And then. While being careful not to shake, sit on the opposite side of Xiang Nan.

The Ferris wheel starts slowly. Gradually increase the height.

Xiang Nan always looked out the window.

Outside the window, the sun has completely set, and the amusement park is lit up, reflecting the beautiful snowy scene.

And the aspect. Wu Zheng shrank into a small group and didn't even move.

At this time!!

Xiang Nan, who had always been silent, didn't know what to think, suddenly grabbed the window frame and began to shake the Ferris wheel vigorously.

"Whoa, whoa, a

Wu Zheng immediately shouted uncontrollably.

"Xiang Nan! Stop it. Stop!"

She kept shaking her hands.

"Xiang Nan; Stop it. Stop me! Come on! No, count me in begging you! I'm sorry! I know wrong

The end of the last sentence has evolved into a very unbelievable sentence, so Xiang Nan instantly asked to stop the action.

"Huh...... Hahahaha......" Wu Zheng let out a puzzled laugh.

"Wu Zheng. You don't have a fear of heights.

"What should I do, I just have it! You've already found out just now, so you shook it on purpose!

Wu Zheng said with a stiff expression.

"Hmm." Xiang Nan nodded. There was no sign of guilt.

"Hey One

I was completely toyed with by such a little girl in the fifth grade of elementary school, and I really felt a little embarrassed.

However. Wu Zheng was not angry with her.

Xiang Nan also has such a character at school, often breaking away from the "circle" of the class. A person acts alone. It's not that she looks down on others. But in the eyes of my classmates, I will feel like this.

Because she is not sociable.

I guess it was caused by being alone for a long time.

Rejection of communication – inability to maintain relationships smoothly.

In addition, her abilities and conditions in all aspects are better than the average person. It will also leave a proud impression on the other party.

When Wu Zheng was Xiang Nan's age, he was often respected by his classmates or could bear everyone's envy because he was a little more outstanding in a small place. Sometimes, however, being too good can lead to being alienated by others.

I would have felt sad to get used to being alone, and if I probably wouldn't be able to do it......

Forthwith. He wanted to escape the horrors of the moment away from the ground. He pulled out a small sketchbook from the pocket on the side of his coat.

Next, start tracing lightly with a pencil.

Depict the little girl in front of you, staring out the window into the distance.

The usual already very amazing, full of dreamy royal music pictures, against the backdrop of a whole silver world, looks like a different world.

However. But the little girl didn't say a word, as if she didn't feel anything. Just silently, staring into the distance.

Only the head of the pencil in Wu Zheng's hand was left, echoing in the small space.

At this time......

…… Wu Zheng, you used to study at a university of fine arts, right?

Xiang Nan's eyes were still looking out the window, and he suddenly said to him.

"Well, yes, but the correct way to say it is the art department of the University of the Arts. I'm majoring, so you probably won't understand these things."

"Why did you become an art teacher?"

"You ask me why I'm ...... too. Well, there are many reasons for this...... Actually, I wanted to be a painter, but I still ...... All in all. I had just graduated at the time. Doing nothing every day. It just so happened that my teacher in college asked me if I wanted to come here to teach at the school, so I became your teacher. That's all."

"Why didn't you become a painter?" asked Xiang Nan again.

Wu Zheng let out a long sigh.

"It's not like I didn't become a painter. I can't be a painter."

As he spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop.

"Why can't you do it, you're obviously very good at drawing.

Just by drawing well, it won't work. The most important thing is that I don't have the talent and passion to be a painter

"Why are you so sure?

I know very well. Because I really saw the so-called talent gap. And a passion for painting that pours his life into it. I don't have either of these conditions. Actually, college days. I've once entered a contest with one of my best drawings.

"What kind of painting is it?

「…… Should be...... A portrait of a woman. That one is particularly well drawn. It's my most successful masterpiece. It's just that the winning work at that time. It's amazing. It's obviously a picture. But there is a ray of light like reality. It's a big surprise, it's my competitor. That guy was just a one- or five-year-old elementary school student. It is said that my father is a super famous painter who has done his best to paint and then died, which is simply unmatched. So I finally really saw it, and that is the so-called talent, and the so-called genetics.

Wu Zheng half-jokingly said bitter.

However, Xiang Nan still didn't smile.

I just felt that there seemed to be a hint of excitement at the end of the words.

Why did you just give up?

For Xiang Nan's lines. Wu Zheng was at a loss.

One of that people. The fifteen-year-old. Maybe he worked very hard, so he was able to be number one, didn't he? Attributing Chedu to the so-called talent is only briefly mentioned in this sentence. What a rude treat to that person.

…… Maybe."

Wu Zheng smiled. Shrugging,

Perhaps, it really is. Even so, though. I'm definitely not an opponent.

Because. Isn't that kind of effort also one of the so-called talents?

Think so though. Takemasa didn't say anything about Yamaguchi.

Even if you say it, it won't change any facts.

It doesn't change the fact that he's here now.

"But it's okay, I like my current job very much, and I also like children, Xiang Nan, I like you too."

After saying that, an innocent smile appeared on his face.

This is not a line with a special meaning.

However, Xiang Nan's cheeks were slightly and slightly red.

On the fair skin, there is a touch of pink.

Today, no...... Since the death of her parents. For the first time, Wu Zheng saw the expression on her face change.

That cold face that has always been like a puppet, closed to the heart, and expressionless.

She usually doesn't show her emotions very much, but since then, she has obviously become more closed.

It's as if it's deliberately closing oneself.

Therefore. Wu Zheng is deep in his heart. I've always wanted to do something for her.

It's not just gentleness, words of comfort, it's not just gentle sympathy and pity, it's really something that can be done for her as a person.

In fact, he knew that he was not such a great person.

I didn't have anything to say to her.

That's why today, although it's just an accident, is a good opportunity.

Be by her side.

Even if it's only one, it's fine. Hope to see her smile.

Maybe that's just a big deal, quite an extravagant wish.

Xiang Nan walked not far ahead.

Wu Zheng is like a guardian. Walking not far behind her.

Shoveled snow piled up on both sides of the road. It looks like a wall made of white masonry. The two passed through the middle and came to the central square of the amusement park. The mall seems to have deliberately not shoveled the snow, and the carpet of snow appears beautifully in the night under the illumination.

It's a pity that there are almost no people.

Everyone ran to see the cartoon character show that was going to take place.

Sassy ...... Sassy ......

The sound of small footsteps and large footsteps intertwined, and each step of the two of them echoed once in the snow.

The two of them settled down in a sheltered place from the rain and sat on a bench.

"I really don't understand, what's so good about that big pink and soft doll......

"Uh-huh......

"Those things are just things that adults use to trick children."

"Hmm......

"That...... Are you having a good time?'" Wu Zheng said coldly.

Hey......

Xiang Nan seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of this sentence. He asked back.

"Because I think. You don't seem to be happy at all."

As soon as Wu Zheng said this, Xiang Nan nodded and acknowledged.

…… Because I've never experienced anything happy. So I don't know what happiness is...... also

"Aha...... Even if you don't want to please the princess, don't you?

This time. Wu Zheng fought back beautifully.

"So...... Okay, just sit here and wait!

"Hey, what are you going to do?

"Don't worry. I'll be back soon, and I won't leave Her Royal Highness here alone.

With that, he ran away.

Crackling, snowflakes rising, wetting clothes, he didn't care.

Xiang Nan watched his back leave in silence.

Don't leave me alone.

I don't want to be alone.

Because it's going to be lonely. Because the heart will become so small.

She waited alone and alone,

That day, she waited like this.

It's been a long time since I've been out with my parents.

The two of them had dinner together. It feels like a long time ago.

Xiang Nan has been waiting for the day to come.

She has a lot to say. I have a lot of words that I want to say to my parents.

Will you be able to finish your sentence properly?

Will her parents listen to her well?

After all, it's hers today—

Result –

Parents who were supposed to go home. Even though it's been a long time, I haven't come back.

Instead. It was my father's secretary who came to the house. Tell her about the death of her parents in a car accident.

In front of the secretary who was excited and tearful. Xiang Nan couldn't cry.

"Miss, you're so strong," the secretary said.

She just couldn't cry if she wanted to.

It must be. Her emotions. Her heart has been destroyed.

Obviously so sad, obviously so lonely.

In fact, all along, she was just being strong.

Because Mom and Dad were busy, she couldn't bother.

She kept thinking in her heart that she couldn't be unreasonable.

Because, be a good boy. will be praised.

Because her parents said she was a good child.

As long as you are a good child, good things will happen.

So, even if you are alone. and endure in silence.

Because my parents will come together and give me a tight hug.

As long as she thought of it, she tried to endure it.

Because Mom and Dad will definitely come back.

It turned out to be. We'll never see each other again.

Jaya. Won't it come back?

Have you really become a person?

Don't leave me alone.

I don't want to be alone.

The words in my heart came out from Xiang Nan's lips.

「…… Keeping you waiting. His Royal Highness.

Wu Zheng was standing right in front of him. It can be seen that it ran back.

Holding ice cream in both hands as if it doesn't match the season.

Available in strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors.

"What's wrong with you. Hey!"

Wu Zheng was very flustered.

Xiang Nan picked up his head and looked directly at his face.

His eyes filled with tears.

"Wow!! No, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but it was completely force majeure for Tuan Wei to be swept up in the crowd over there...... I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

…… No, it's not like that...... Are you mistaken...... I'm just......

Xiang Nan shook her head desperately, sobbing and choking, unable to hear what she was saying.

Completely unable to control their emotions.

Wu Zheng didn't care about being soaked in the snow, knelt beside Xiang Nan on one leg, and studied her expression. Then in a gentle and steady voice, he said, "What's the matter, do you feel lonely, or do you feel afraid?"

Xiang Nan shook his head desperately, wiping away his disobedient tears.

"It's okay, it's okay to be lonely. Whether it's sadness or fear...... It's okay to cry, it's normal. I'm sorry I can't leave you alone, but I'll definitely stay by your side from now on."

Xiang Nan finally nodded.

"Okay, let's eat ice cream, take a big bite."

After Wu Zheng finished speaking, he handed the ice cream in his hand to Xiang Nan.

I didn't notice it before. In fact, Wu Zheng's hand is very large.

It's obviously a wide, bony hand, but it's beautiful and slender, and. Very warm.

It's cool to eat ice cream in the cold of winter, right?

Wu Zheng laughed hahaha,

"It's tasteless." Xiang Nan said half-jokingly.

A conversation that's colder than ice cream.

But. Wu Zheng still smiled.

Hahaha laughed.

As a result, Xiang Nan also smiled.

Naturally. Laughed.

Perhaps, she always doesn't know how to ask a question, and she is anxious about something. It's as if the winter sun is in a hurry to sink to the west.

I...... I maybe, I've always wanted to die!!"

The rain man sat side by side on a bench. Xiang Nan said this sentence while eating ice cream, and Wu Zheng was so frightened that he almost dropped the ice cream to the ground.

"I thought that if I didn't do this again, I would probably be constrained by those adults forever, so I chose from my family. Then I thought, if I die, maybe I'll be able to see my father and mother."

I see...... I think I can probably relate to that feeling. It's just that it won't be very lonely

……？

"If people's wishes can be fulfilled when they die, then won't all people have to run to find death' It's nerve-wracking, isn't it, what does it feel like to be left by the person you love, Xiang Nan. You should know that."

…… Very sad. Very lonely, sad, and reluctant

"That's why Luo, I don't want to be like this, in case Xiang Nan is gone, I'll be super sad.

…… Thank you, Wu Zheng......

"No need to say thank you. Because I am a subordinate of King Xiang Nan."

After saying that, he opened his mouth wide. Eat the ice cream in one go.

Faced with such a noon, Xiang Nan smiled jerkily again.

"Wu Zheng. Do you have a girlfriend," she asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden...... Well, then again, if there were, I wouldn't be doing these things here."

That's it. So, who is that person?

"Yes"

"It's the entry you said you drew before, who is that woman?
