Then, like a gust of wind, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ahaha......"

Zhao Wu climbed down from the tree and showed his usual giggle.

"Zhao Wu, did you bleed?"

Attacked by the cat's claw just now, Zhao Wu's nose was scratched above the tip of his nose, and blood slowly dripped down.

Qian Yi was startled, and immediately took out tissue paper from his backpack and wiped the bleeding wound.

Why, you're bleeding all the time.

At this time, Zhao Wu said calmly: "Great, the kitten finally landed safely." ”

"Alas-Zhao Wu, it's a shame that you can still say such things, obviously being attacked very wrongly. That cat is really, and it will take revenge."

Qian Yi said nonchalantly, gently touching his wound.

"Well, what?"

"You look like you're happy."

"Is there one? I'm not particularly happy."

"But you're not angry, are you?"

"That's—that's ...... Those are two different things, don't confuse them. Okay, okay, the bleeding has stopped."

Qian Yi said sentences with unclear meaning.

Thinking back to himself when he first reunited with Zhao Wu, he felt inexplicably embarrassed.

In any case, the current Qian Yi is completely moved by Zhao Wu.

A boxy space.

A piece of pure white.

White room.

The white girl was lying on her lap with a black cat, and she was listening intently to the old woman's story.

"I always loved to be strong, he always gently guarded the wayward me, and I was really happy at that time, I used to think that there would never be a happier thing in this world. I didn't expect that happiness would come again and again, and I have been living in happiness until now. Is he ...... Will ......you ever encounter the same happiness again?"

If you stop thinking, you will become lonely.

Thoughts are the connection between people.

Forever, tied to each other.

The same repeating sky.

Repeating the season.

Drifting in the wind, a fragment of happiness.

Thoughts, over and over again, are connected.

Tie your hands, tie your heart, tie that sky, that star, that light.

Shine and shine -

After taking the tram and transferring, Qian Yi and Zhao Wu arrived at their destination.

On Saturday, it was crowded.

This is a theme park, and the park is full of large cartoon dolls, attracting visitors to gather and watch.

Qian Yi is particularly unresistant to this kind of stuff and is a frequent visitor to this theme park.

Even in winter, ice cream is sold here, and it is a popular item because it is unexpectedly delicious.

Speaking of which, I remember that when I came with those three friends in winter, I once found a snowman in a sparsely populated square, which I didn't know who had built it, and it had begun to melt. The appearance of the snowman was so ugly and weird that everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

The point is, is it necessary to go to this kind of place specifically to build a snowman?

Maybe there was really some special reason, but I suddenly felt pitiful, so I picked up the fallen branches nearby to help the snowman make his facial features and hands, and as a result, there was a feeling of fame in my heart, an incredible feeling.

So, I liked this place even more.

And there are also delicious ice creams, especially the best comprehensive flavors.

"Next time, let's go play with four of us, that's it!"

It's been said already.

I'm sorry, sisters.

I came running on my own.

And this is with the boys.

Hehahaha............ Ha......

Alas......

It's a pity that the person in Zhao Wu's heart is not me, but someone else, right?

even went back to China in order to find each other.

Then why are you with me?

"Your first love, what's wrong?"

This kind of thing, you can't ask.

It's not because of the consequences of asking what the exit will be.

"Huh? Wow, why is it gone!"

Zhao Wu's figure suddenly disappeared in front of him.

At this time-

"Bear~"

I found that Zhao Wuzheng was shouting loudly while rushing towards the bear doll in front of him.

"Hey! Zhao Wu, if you rush so fast, the bear will be crushed by you! The consequences of this pounce are unimaginable—I mean the people inside the doll!"

It's nerve-wracking.

It seems that I have no gift for sentimentality, not even free time to sigh and sigh.

"Whew—I'm so tired......

Just now, Qian Yi rushed too violently, Qian Yi immediately rushed up to set people up, and before being arrested by the staff of the amusement park, he dragged Zhao Wu away from the scene at twice the speed of usual.

She avoided all the intense rides, opting for a slow, calm ride on the park boat and catch her breath a little.

In case the tall Zhao Wu was too excited and suddenly stood up again, the boat might capsize and sink to the bottom of the water on the spot, so Qian Yi hugged him very cautiously.

"Listen, hear, Zhao Wu, the eldest sister just now said that you can't move, you know?"

It's like a mother telling a child.

However, in the eyes of others, it seems that she is clinging to her boyfriend and the appearance of a bird.

Not...... This pose feels like a meaty dumb couple.

There is no way, at this juncture, I have no choice but to settle.

"What's the matter, Qian Yi, are you seasick? Do you feel scared?" As a result, Zhao Wu asked her like this.

Should we say that he is out of condition, or that he is careful and considerate......

The boat moved slowly.

"Ah, there's a souvenir shop there, Qian Yi, let's go and have a look."

Zhao Wu smiled innocently, almost making people think that he was playing a prank.

Keep looking around. Makes a sound non-stop.

What are you doing, Zhao Wu.

I'm still blushing and my heart is beating.

You don't feel it at all.

Hey, Zhao Wu!

At this moment, the person closest to you next to you is me.

Take a good look at me.

Don't look around, just take a good look at me.

I've always missed you.

Zhao Wu, what do you think of me?

It's just my one-sided thoughts, which is too unfair.

It's too much for me to do this, Zhao Wu.

You're still the same as you were then, not the same at all.

It's despicable.

Because of my desire for change, I have made a lot of efforts.

Because of the desire for change, because the days of the same are too boring, I desperately want to break free.

Something has to change.

Some things have become accustomed to changing.

One by one, the wishes and dreams that were made disappeared.

There is no growth in height, and there are countless imperfections.

Even so, he remained innocent.

He still looked at me with the same eyes he did back then.

He still has the same orange hair as he did back then.

The original, the first wish.

"-I hope to see Ichigo again."

Today, it happens.

Obviously, it was the first wish to dispel the thoughts.

So far, it has come true.

Actually, I was already planning to forget about him.

Actually, I just wanted to tell my friends as a joke and make everyone laugh.

In fact, after Zhao Wu left, he felt so lonely, he had endured it to the limit, and planned to forget everything.

In fact, the person who stopped writing letters first and cut off the news first was Qian Yi.

Even the time spent waiting for letters began to become unbearable.

However, I can't forget it, and the memories keep expanding in my heart one after another.

However, just as a balloon filled with air will burst, so too will the dream of memory.

「…… Zhao Wu—"

"Huh? What's the matter, Qian Yi?"

"Zhao Wu...... Why do you want to come back......?"

"Huh? Oh, that's because—"

"It's just my wishful thinking......

"Qian Yi?"

"Since it's a memory, it should always stay in the memory! Only I like it unilaterally, only I wait unilaterally, it's all my unilateral one!"

"Qian Yi?"

"I'm like a big idiot! Zhao Wu - I hate you the most——-!

Qian Yi angrily dropped this sentence and jumped out of the boat that was approaching the shore.

Even myself, who has always been a sports averse disorder, jumped unbelievably from a boat to the shore.

Qian Yi began to run away.

Fleeing from Zhao Wu's face, he ran with all his might.

However, the honest voice in my heart is—

Ahh

In fact, I obviously like Zhao Wu. Already, I like it so much!

I like it more than before, and I already like it deeply, deeply.

Because, Zhao Wu is Zhao Wu after all.

I know very well in my heart, because I like him!

Qian Yi kept running.

Run through the crowd and forward.

Run forward with all your might.

However, even so, Zhao Wu, who was behind her, never caught up!

She couldn't help but look back, but she didn't see me in sight.

There was no figure in sight.

What are you doing? Zhao Wu!

At this time, not all boys will be sweating profusely and desperately catching up and saying, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I love you~"

This is the fixed formula of the plot!

Oh, is that so?

That's right, that's it, I'm ...... anyway

Small, dreaming, and delusional?

And you like to read shoujo manga, right? I guess I've seen a lot of it.

Anyway, I'm just a childish guy!

Alas...... I've read too many shoujo manga............

Alas - so slow that you can't cry if you want to......

What to do......

Qian Yi walked out of the amusement park alone.

Then unconsciously walk towards a certain location.

In the remnants of the late summer heat, the colors of autumn have been changed there.

Among the trees, pieces of fallen leaves are flying.

Sentimental feelings instantly surged into my heart.

It's not even the height of the mountain, it's a small hill, and there is almost nothing around, so the view is good, and the sunset seen from here is so beautiful that you want to cry.

Qian Yi stood on the slope, looking forward to the sunset.

If you do cry, maybe it's more comfortable.

I've been thinking about it for six years, and it would be nice if I could spit it it all out.

She thought so.

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't cry.

On top of that, it's still some time before sunset.

Qian Yi cursed his stupidity and sat down to hug his knees.

The petite body appears even more petite.

Before the sun disappeared, I was lost.

Alas, I really can't help but want to sigh.

That's when —

"-Qian Yi!"

Suddenly hearing someone calling for her from behind, Qian Yi was about to sigh and swallowed it back.

Zhao Wu appeared.

Gasping violently, sweating profusely, and holding a familiar paper bag in his hand.

Orange-colored hair soaked in sweat and shining in the sun.

"Qian Yi, I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, he bowed deeply to her and apologized.

"I was startled just now, but you're suddenly angry because of my relationship, right? I'm sorry, I don't know how I made you angry, but I'm all to blame, I'm sorry!"

It's too straightforward.

Being apologized by him like this made her not know what to do.

"This is to express my apologies, please accept it!"

Zhao Wu said, then handed the paper bag in his hand forward and sent it to Qian Yi.

In the familiar paper bag, of course, there is a fruit sandwich.

Appearing in such a scene made people feel inexplicably funny, however, tears slid down her cheeks, making Qian Yi feel stunned. I've been abnormal since just now.,I really don't understand myself.。

I can't cry when I want to cry, but I cry when I want to laugh.

「…… Zhao Wu, why did you come here?" Qian Yi asked him.

"Because, this is the place for the two of us."

After Zhao Wu finished speaking, a smirk no longer appeared on his face, but a gentle smile.

「………… Zhao Wu......... Y-ah!"

Qian Yi suddenly felt embarrassed.

The place where I am now is the secret base where I used to play with Zhao Wu, and the place where I am full of memories.

Doesn't that make it a state of "Honey, come to me, come to me"?

Whoaaaa

Although she has always denied it, she is so dull that even if her friends say in unison, "Qian Yi is really a natural nerd", she can only nod silently.

Qian Yi's face was flushed with shame, but she was very happy.

Zhao Wu came to her.

Even if Zhao Wu is just out of the character of a good gentleman, she is habitually gentle and considerate, she is very happy.

However, she couldn't help but make a fuss.

"What the hell! Now that I think about it, I didn't even catch up with it just now!"

"Ah, that. That's because, I'm really sorry, I was going to catch up, but as soon as I jumped out of the boat, I accidentally fell into the water, and I couldn't find you, and I got lost......

Zhao Wu shrunk his tall body, looking very discouraged.

Hahahaha...... Really, I don't know what to say, should I say that it really looks like something that will happen to Zhao Wu......

"But—"

Zhao Wu raised his head.

Grinning, as always, with an innocent smile.

Then, in no uncertain terms-

"I know exactly where it is. I think you'll be here, because this is Qian Yi and me's important secret base."

In an instant, the oversized tears that could not have appeared in the girl's comics kept coming out of Qian Yi's eyes one after another.

"Zhao Wu, you stupid wow~~~~"

She grabbed Zhao Wu's slender and sturdy index finger and cried loudly.

For Qian Yi's little hands, just holding his fingers feels very thick and reliable.

In the past, I always wanted to grow up to be stronger.

I also want to hold Zhao Wu's hand and protect him forever.

Now I'm so weak.

It's just going to be strong, just trying to grow taller.

From now on, though, that's enough.

It is possible to cry or to be weak.

Petite me, tall looking for me, even so. Now it looks as if nothing has changed.

So, that's it.

As long as Zhao Wu smiles at me, I will laugh with me.

So it was then, and so it will be in the future.

Zhao Wu's big hand gently touched Qian Yi's head.

"Didn't I say I had something left behind? So, I came back and got it."

His voice, his body temperature, everything was so warm.

After crying to his heart's content, Qian Yi finally regained his composure and hugged Zhao Wu tightly like a coquettish child.

Compared to when I was on the garden boat before, I hugged it tighter and harder.

Zhao Wu is here at this moment.

Maybe it's okay to ask now.

「……… Zhao Wu, let me ask you."

"Huh?"

Just a one-word question is enough to make Qian Yi's heart beat faster at this moment.

Even so, she was determined to ask.

"Well, you said something leftover...... Doesn't it mean the object of your first love......?"

As a result, Zhao Wu replied very succinctly and forcefully.

"yes, yes."

Nodding briskly.

His heart tingled slightly.

However, Zhao Wu continued, "So, I'm back. Because my first love—that's you."

"Oh...... Hey? I? Is it me?"

Throw a fit.

However, yesterday it was clear that ......

"Didn't you say you were going to find your first love?"

"Ahh

As a result, Zhao Wu replied succinctly and forcefully again.

Hey?

W-What do you mean?

Zhao Wu smiled slightly.

"My grandmother, I used to have a favorite object, but then I heard that because of the war, I was separated from that person, and I lost contact with him......

After that, the war ended, and I went to Germany with my grandmother.

I met a man in the area.

Soon, the two gave birth to a boy, and the boy would go to his mother's homeland and meet a woman, so Zhao Wu was born.
