"Because it's written in this cat manual."

"What, why do you have that kind of book?"

"I bought it before."

"Before? When?"

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Nan brought milk from home to give to the kitten, but was stopped by Yun Yi.

She holds a copy of "How to Be a Good Owner" and spreads out the page about caring for kittens.

It is conceivable that after the incident half a year ago, Yun Yi immediately went to buy this book. What happened that day really made her unforgettable.

Zhao Nan guessed correctly. There wasn't a single figure in the shrine.

It's a bit far from the residential area and has to climb a long staircase to get there. Just in case, they hid the kitten's cardboard box behind the main hall.

Yun Yi held a book in his hand, focusing on how to take care of kittens, and Zhao Nan, who had no pet knowledge. Playing with the kitten rubbing at his feet.

Tranquil scenery for two.

Suddenly she spoke again—

"Let's just call Xiaolan."

"Huh? What?" Zhao Nan asked.

"It's a name, we haven't named it yet."

"Then why Blue?"

"Look—"

Yun Yi picked up the kitten and came face to face with Zhao Nan.

Meow......

Zhao Nan couldn't see that the kitten was disgusted with his name, and only heard the little blue meow that had just been named.

"Its eyes are beautiful, aren't they? It's so blue, it's so clear...... It's like a string of sky, a blue sky, so let's call it little blue, it's great, right?"

"Whatever, it's okay to call it anything, right?" Zhao Nan nodded disinterestedly.

As a result, Yun Yi's cheeks immediately puffed out.

"Really, you are serious, Zhao Nan, you are a father."

"Yay? W-What ......?"

"I'm its mother, you're its father, and Xiaolan is our child!"

Her cheeks were red. Shyly smiled.

Hey? What the?

Although Zhao Nan was still a child at all, when he heard that he had become a "father", he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility. It was difficult to ride a tiger, and the original attitude of being careless had to be reined in.

"Well, now that it's over, there's no way to leave it alone."

A sense of determination, accompanied by a sense of responsibility, swelled up in my heart uncanny.

So, the pair of young parents. Started a child-rearing plan with a worrying future.

After that, every morning when they went to school, the two would go out early to the shrine to take care of Xiaolan. I rushed to the empty house immediately after school.

Zhao Nan also once secretly left the school to visit Xiaolan during the lunch break because he was too worried.

After several times of such behavior, the talkative girl in the class went to complain to the tutor, causing him to be reprimanded. Even so. He is still tight-lipped about Xiaolan's existence, and he will not say anything when he dies.

Later, he scolded the girl who complained and cried, and was reprimanded by the tutor for it.

Zhao Nan acted so arbitrarily and recklessly. Not out of blind impulse and recklessness. The teenager has his own way of thinking, and he just wants everything to go smoothly. Although he also began to have love for Xiaolan, the most important thing was not to increase Yunyi's burden.

Zhao Nan had silently made up his mind to protect her.

Thinking of Yunyi's sad eyelids.

Thinking of her parents' worried eyelibrasses.

In order not to let them have such an expression again, the young heart secretly swears.

Therefore, when Li Mu in the class came to ask him out-

"Zhao Nan, today we are going to play Bullet Wars, let's play together."

He had a little, only a little, in his heart. Feel struggling.

The so-called Gundam War, is a card game that is becoming popular among elementary school students. Zhao Nan's pocket money is almost all spent on this...... But—

"No, no, I have something to do today, I'm sorry."

He conquered temptation.

As a result, Li Mu said happily-

"What...... You're only going to play with Yunyi."

"No, we're not playing......

"Forget it, I won't make an appointment with you in the future. Since you like to be with Yun Yi so much, let's just get married quickly!"

Childish lines. Out of childish protection.

Li Mu knew why Zhao Nan had been with Yun Yi all the time.

Originally, Zhao Nan and he were best friends and always played together, but since Yun Yi's body began to deteriorate. Zhao Nan is inseparable from Yun Yi.

Although I don't know much about the inside story in other places, I still have a feeling that my good friend is robbed by a girl.

Especially recently, this feeling has become more obvious, almost as soon as school is over, those two people disappear at the same time. The class was full of gossip about Zhao Nan and Yun Yi.

This situation made Li Mu feel very troubled.

If Zhao Nan played with him, he would not be ostracized by his classmates.

Therefore, he made an appointment with his father-in-law several times, but he didn't expect Zhao Nan's answer to be "NO".

After a few times, Li Mu also got angry, in fact, he just wanted to restore the friendship between them, but what blurted out was angry words.

"I'm sorry......"

Zhao Nan looked at the back of his friend's departure and muttered to himself.

Suddenly I felt very lonely.

Xiaolan rubbed around beside her, stopping and coquettish.

However, Zhao Nan, who is a father, can't see a flat smile on his face.

Xiaolan is getting more and more energetic day by day, and Zhao Nan and Yun Yi are very happy.

But all day, Zhao Nan didn't have a smile on his face.

The reason came from the conversation with Li Mu at school today.

After that, the two deliberately avoided each other, whether in the classroom or in the hallway.

Obviously, I want to talk to each other, and I want to play with each other......

Yun Yi sensed that something was wrong. Pretend to bring it up as if nothing happened-

"You have to play with Li Mu and them once in a while."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. I'm just ...... I don't want to play with them."

It's clear that he's being stubborn.

Although he pretended to be angry, his eyes were cloudy, as if it was the weather before the rain.

……

She didn't know what to say, and was about to hug Xiaolan beside her, when she was-

…… Cough...... Cough......

"Yunyi? Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Nan noticed her strangeness. Seeing her expression become more and more painful.

…… It's a wheezing attack.

Begin to have difficulty breathing.

"Wait a minute,"

Zhao Nan immediately hugged Xiaolan away from Ma Yi, then opened the small cloth bag hanging on her schoolbag and took out the spray.

"Come on, suck!"

Aim the sprayer at your nose and mouth, then let her lean against her chest and tap her back to make her feel comfortable.

After a few moments, the situation finally stabilized.

Zhao Nan has had the experience of encountering her illness a few times and has learned how to deal with it from her mother.

- has made up his mind to protect her.

Is this good? Zhao Nan asked her softly.

Fourth...... Hmmm......"

"Did you take your medicine today?"

Haven't eaten yet? You're really ......

"I fell asleep in the health room during the lunch break......

"It's really ......," Zhao Nan sighed.

Result –

…… I'm sorry.

Yun Yi lowered her eyes.

"Why apologize?" He asked angrily.

In the past, Yun Yi would never apologize like this.

Even in the face of boys or elders, he always retreats and moves forward bravely.

Now, I say I'm sorry at every turn. This is a bad habit that develops after the physical condition begins to deteriorate.

She has always thought that her illness has caused trouble to many people, and of course her husband would not think so.

However, she has a strong sense of responsibility, but she can't forgive herself, and feels quite remorseful. I hate my weak self, but it backfires and I get weaker and weaker.

Want a healthy body, and therefore become more and more self-loathing.

Zhao Nan also doesn't like the weak Yunyi.

But I didn't hate her, and I couldn't hate her.

He wished she could laugh a lot. I hope she can be willful.

The two fell silent.

The wind stopped, and the world fell silent.

"Meow......

Only Xiaolan's innocent coquettish voice came into her ears clearly.

…… I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize anymore."

"But......

I'm really sorry I'm so useless.

Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"It's okay...... Because the clouds are still the clouds."

Zhao Nan said lines that he couldn't understand. But Yun Yi was inexplicably moved in her heart.

So she tried to smile.

Again, don't say anything more discouragement.

Because the heart is so warm.

Have a favorite person.

Very, very important people.

Satisfied mood.

Ma Yi gently held Zhao Nan's hand.

"No, don't, Yunyi! It's very, it's a shame!" Zhao Nan panicked and frightened.

"And no one will see it."

Yun Yi smiled.

"But, but, ah—little blue is watching."

"What does it matter. We're its mom and dad."

"That's what I said, but ......."

"Just take it a little longer."

「…… It's just a little bit ......."

「…… Thank you......"

With a lot of meaning, a word of thanks.

The warmth of the heart seems to make people stronger.

Don't want to let go.

Forever......

- Suzu.

On this day, Yun Yi left early because she had to go to the hospital for an examination.

"Xiaolan, please take care of you."

Before leaving school, she was so entrusted.

"Leave it to me!" Zhao Nan patted his heart and assured.

So, the task of taking care of Xiaolan after school was handled by Zhao Nan alone.

As soon as the class meeting ended, Zhao Nan immediately rushed out of the classroom as usual.

Li Mu watched his hurried back leave with a complicated expression, but Zhao Nan didn't know it.

Yunyi is not here today, and Xiaolan must be taken care of.

Anyway. I'm a father.

He began to think about it, but he was afraid that he was missing something.

Trembling. More serious and nervous than usual.

However, all this has become superfluous.

Expectantly peeked into the cardboard box, but the little blue who was supposed to be inside was nowhere to be seen.

"Little, little blue? One

Turning the carton upside down, of course, did not drop a kitten.

"Little Blue—"

Calling its name also didn't get a response.

The wind was howling, shaking the woods behind the shrine.

Don't......

But. Xiaolan has been jumping around lately......

When I first found it on the road, Xiaolan, who was still very thin, had become very healthy, lively and energetic after Zhao Nan and Yun Yi worked hard to take care of it.

No, it should be said that it has been so lively lately, it is simply unbearable. Interested in everything. As long as you see something that moves, you will pounce on it and chase after it. At first, I was a little scared of Zhao Nan's past football, but after I got used to it, I chased the ball to the end no matter where it rolled. I am especially interested in flying things like butterflies and fallen leaves.

It's nerve-wracking. In case you run into the forest in order to chase butterflies. I'm afraid it's hard to find.

Zhao Nan once went to this forest last summer to catch unicorn fairies and stag beetles, but got lost, leaving a tragic memory. The woods were dark inside, and deeper and wider than expected.

"Little Blue—"

After shouting and seeing, there was still no response.

"Don't make a fuss......

Zhao Nan looked into the depths of the woods and couldn't help but sigh.

"Damn, what are you doing! Little Blue ——!"

He shouted as if he were out of the air.

Result –

"Meow......!"

As he looked blankly, he suddenly heard a cry coming back.

And it didn't come from the forest in front of you, but from behind.

- Huh?"

Stunned, he looked back.

"Meow?"

The four eyes met, and the little blue with a question mark on his face was tilted his head.

It was right behind Zhao Nan, sitting softly, looking up at Zhao Nan.

I don't know when Pretty approached.

He must have heard Zhao Nan's call and ran back from a distance.

"I can't help you......

Zhao Nan squatted down and was about to pick up Xiaolan, but as a result-

"Meow!"

Little Blue moved swiftly and escaped with a smoke between her outstretched hands.

"Hey. Little Blue."

He held out his hand again—

"Meow!"

It slipped away again.

It seems that Xiaolan really wants to play with him.

"Hey, Blue, come here—"

With a slight anger in his tone, he stretched out his hand, still dodging it. He tried several times to catch Little Blue. But it was repeatedly swiftly escaped. The more Zhao Nan desperately tried to catch it, the more dexterous Xiaolan slipped away.

"Little, Little Blue ——!"

I couldn't help but roar loudly, my breath began to be rapid, and my throat was hoarse.

Whew-whew—shoulders heaved violently, exhausted.

And then, finally—

"Ahhhh——.h

The whole body lunged forward and successfully caught Xiaolan.

Xiaolan also seemed to be very satisfied, and finally obediently stopped running and jumping around.

Zhao Nan was tired. By the time we set foot on the way home, it was already time for the sun to set.

Today feels like it's been a long way home.

Zhao Nan began to feel that Xiaolan seemed to be a little "troublesome".

It's been sunny all over the country for the past seven days, so you don't need to bring rain gear when you go out."

The weather forecast he heard in the morning suddenly came to Zhao Nan's mind.

In class, a side eye peeks into the blue sky through a glass window. Clouds of all shapes floated freely, and the blue ocean overhead was vast and endless.

The shape of the cloud looked more and more like his favorite omelet rice, and he suddenly felt hungry.

I'm not in the mood for class anymore.

It's like falling into a rock, today's (no, I should say every time) math class is very boring.

Zhao Nan's grades are not bad, but they are not good, just in the upper middle. Instead of sitting quietly at his desk and studying hard, he prefers to exercise, and he is a very ordinary teenager.

That's right, he was a very ordinary teenager......

Keeping looking at the clouds will only make your stomach more and more hungry, so Zhao Nan's gaze returned to the blackboard

"Ah, oops—"

While I was in a daze, the course was progressing rapidly.

I hurriedly copied the words and graphics on the blackboard to the notebook, but I didn't expect the teacher to erase the part that I didn't have time to copy at once. Zhao Nan's tutor often checks whether students have actually copied notes, and if they are found to have not copied them, they will be punished for going to the classroom a week early to clean up.

He has to take care of Xiaolan in the morning, so he definitely wants to avoid getting caught.

I wanted to ask Yun Yi to lend him the notebook, but the seat was too far away, and he couldn't wait for the end of class to borrow it, in case he was caught by the teacher right now, the game would be over.
