"What about you?" said the Golden Finch, who suddenly thought of something, and asked Shuer beside him.

Shure walked outside, blocking the scorching sunlight for the Sparrow—the time for the discussion was really a bit outstanding, and now there was no one in the building, and the two of them were in the corridor, and the shadows dragged on a little long, a little thin—and when he heard the Sparrow's words, he chuckled: "I think it's good to see Teresa anyway." ”

I didn't feel anything about this research, but after seeing her, I thought it was extremely wonderful.

The goldfinch looked at the harmless bright smile of the other animal, and for a while, the mood was a little delicate.

“...... You haven't thought that if one day, I ...... Or someone else, has it been blackened?" she thought for a moment, tilted her head, and said as if unintentionally.

Actually, I encountered it not long ago.

But......

"No, it won't. Xiuer was stunned for a moment, his smile gradually retracted, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

No...... Sounds like a certainty.

"Ah, yes...... I heard ......" The goldfinch suddenly remembered something.

Like, who did she hear about what this guy did when he was "dealing" with the black fog by himself-

Her hand was suddenly grasped, making it impossible for her to move on.

The golden finch was stunned for a moment, and when he didn't think of what to ask, he suddenly felt the strength of the other party's hand, and then threw himself into a warm embrace-

It's just that my nose hurts a little.

He's been working out really ...... lately

The goldfinch thought so, and just quietly grabbed the hem of his coat and sniffed the warm smell of his body that made her feel good.

"I'm not afraid of the Dark ShadowClan...... They won't let them hurt you. Shuer's voice was muffled, and when he had said this, he added, "But...... I don't think I've had time to do something—Theresa, something very dangerous must have happened, right?"

He hadn't been able to show up to her when those things had happened.

The tone was a little aggrieved.

The goldfinch was stunned, and his eyes gradually widened.

"I sometimes wonder if I could have helped you more if I had shown up earlier. Shure's voice in her ear was so deep that it could be engraved in her soul.

"It's fine. Goldfinch gently reached out and patted him on the back, "I don't think there is anything about those things, it's gone anyway." ”

She did encounter a lot of things.

In those things, she was isolated, helpless, adrift and stubborn, and for a time became synonymous with herself, a past she could not tell anyone about - she never expected these things to change again.

I never believe that there is any possibility of going back to the past, I can only keep moving forward - there is no way to turn back.

But after his words, he became a little ......

Want to help her?

Back in time?

Protect her?

Why is it so ......?

Shuer hugged the goldfinch and suddenly felt the person in his arms...... Trembling?

He was a little anxious to let the goldfinch leave his embrace, leaned down, and his pupils shrank when he saw the goldfinch—the goldfinch was ......

The hair color is very light and light golden golden, and the face that is not easy to change, and the face that habitually hangs a cold expression...... She seemed to be crying at this time, her eyes were visibly red, and her eyes were amazingly bright.

"Stupid ......" The goldfinch's body trembled, biting her lip, and the voice was the same.

It was the first time she had lost control of her emotions since Fang Suo had told her those words.

Shure became a little helpless, he had seen the ruthless goldfinch, he had seen the goldfinch who pretended not to care, but he couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and even the goldfinch with a soft smile—

But like that, she.

He had no experience in dealing with such things in his veins, which made him a little clumsy, and he bent over—slender fingers slowly reaching out, caressing the corners of her eyes—and the goldfinch did not shy away, but stood on tiptoe......

"Shuer—probably...... I've been through so much in the past, but in exchange for ...... Let's meet you. ”

Shul heard what she was saying in his ear, and suddenly, he felt that something had changed.

It's so easy, and yet so hard.

"I'm ......," he said with difficulty as his throat was a little dry, "I'm glad." ”

Then he tightened his arms.

【②】

Before going to Jessica's office, Goldfinch went to the bathroom.

Why go to Jessica's office -

Schul was supposed to go back with the rest of his "classmates", but he wanted to stay with the goldfinch for a while, so he offered to help Hitt deliver some of the records to Jessica.

The Plantagenet did not refuse the offer, also for similar reasons.

Because of what had just happened—her eyes were still a little red—the Plantagenet would never have seen Jessica like this.

This kind of inexplicable solemnity did not make Xiuer feel very strange.

Perhaps his attention was not here.

——

The goldfinch stood in front of the sink with the sound of rushing water in his ears.

Shul waited for her outside, and in the bathroom where it was her, everything seemed cold and empty.

In the dim light, her shadow stretched against the ground to the wall—there was something strange about it.

When the goldfinch's hand touched the cold water again, it suddenly felt something.

"What's wrong. She said suddenly, her voice echoing a little.

It seemed strange because there was no second person here, and she wasn't using any communication.

“...... Is it. She was silent for a moment, her hand resting on the edge of the sink, the coldness of the tiles making her expression slightly less restrained - a pair of eyes, the red at the corners of the eyes had almost completely disappeared.

The cold little by little climbed up, from her legs, to her hands.

"I ......," she paused when she heard something, "I didn't know what you meant before...... But I probably understand now. ”

There was a slight sound of wind outside the window, hitting the somewhat dilapidated window, which made her look sideways slightly, but what she saw was ......

Her shadow is gone.

It was at that moment.

【③】

Shul had been waiting outside, wagging his tail a little boredly.

It wasn't until the Plantage came out that she didn't look like she was out of control.

Just a little pale face.

"Teresa. Shul stepped forward, his hand unconsciously falling on her face.

It's so warm.

The Plantfinch thought to herself, looking sideways slightly, and rubbing his palm.

There were still some broken hair on his cheeks, rubbing against Shuer's palm...... Itchy.

At this moment, Shure could only hear the obvious heartbeat in his chest, and hoped that such a time would never pass—

"Let's go. Then the goldfinch said softly.

He nodded, and walked first—probably because he knew the Bonfinch's attitude toward Jessica.

"Shure. Behind him, the goldfinch said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" he said.

"If one day, everyone is now on my opposite......"

"I'll be with you. She didn't even wait for her to finish.

The goldfinch was slightly stunned, then slowly pulled the stiff muscles on his face, and tried his best to pull out a light smile.
