......

I took the Keio Line and returned to Tokyo in a few hours.

Tokyo really feels different from the scenic spots, where there is a lot of traffic, and pedestrians are in a hurry and anxious. The mirrored walls of countless high-rise buildings reflect the bustle of the metropolis and the radiant neon lights.

The horns of cars are constantly honking.

When he got out of the station, Suzu Kamihara jumped out and said, "Brother~ Have you forgotten something?" ”

"Forgot the scenic spot on your phone?"

"It's a gift! Gift! Didn't you say you were going to give a gift? ”

Kamihara Le looked at the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea.

Tianhai Qimingyue: "It's okay if you don't prepare, anyway, my sister and I have never taken our birthdays to heart." ”

The cold and distant tone also won the silence of Tianhai Jiuliuli's almost approval.

In fact, from the time they went out in the morning, Kamihara Le found out that they could go out on their birthdays.

As far as they are concerned, there is no one at home who can take them out, right?

When I was a child, my birthday was always a daily routine for the twins to warm each other at home, and there was no change from weekdays.

Today is also their birthday, but Uncle Tianhai is still busy with work, and my mother can't come at all because the restaurant is in the peak season, so she can only hurriedly call them to apologize.

In fact, they also need to be cared for.

Kamihara thought to himself, the gift doesn't have to be taken out in a formal scene, and it's okay at this time.

He took his backpack off his back and pulled out a gift box wrapped in a blue ribbon. In the station, it was handed to Tianhai Jiu Liuli.

Tianhai Jiu Ruri looked a little confused when facing the gift handed to him by Kamihara... Or should it be panic?

She took the gift from him with both hands, keeping her eyes fixed on the exquisitely wrapped box.

“... Can I open it? ”

"Ahh This," Shen Yuan Le felt slightly embarrassed under the gaze of Tianhai Jiu Liuli, pinched his chin to avoid her crystal gaze and said, "It was originally given to you, just open it casually." ”

"Hmm."

Tianhai Jiuliuli carefully opened the ribbon above the gift box, and after pulling it open, she opened the box very carefully.

Inside was a more delicate box, and inside the box, a silver bracelet with three small and delicate lily of the valley flowers hanging from it.

Kamihara tried to explain:

"That's... Originally, I was going to make a bracelet for you by hand, because I didn't know what gift to give you, so I thought about giving a bracelet... I really don't know how to pick this thing, and I don't know what style you like, so I chose a style that I think looks good... Haha, you see I'm talking incoherently......"

Suzu Kamihara curiously leaned over and glanced at the elder brother's gift, frowning: "Brother, why do you give this kind of rotten street style?" ”

"Huh?"

"Did you search the Internet for questions like what kind of gifts girls like?"

"Search, search, search... But I really went to the store to pick out the gifts... Isn't it appropriate? ”

To be honest, this is the first time that Kamihara Raku has officially given a gift to a girl (except for Suzu), and he really doesn't have much confidence in what he gives.

And I was told by Ah Ling that the street was rotten or something...

Can Kamihara say that he is sad?

Is your vision so bad?

I didn't expect the first time I gave a gift, I was directly denied by my sister.

Kamihara was so ashamed that he didn't know how to face Jiu Liuli, and said that he would give her a gift with a heart.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"That's... If you don't like this style, I'll take it back and buy you a new one..."

"No, no."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli refused quite strongly, and put the gift back on, gently protecting it in his heart, "It's okay... I like it a lot, this one is enough... Thank you brother ......"

"Oh... Oh, that's it, if you like it. ”

Shenyuan Le also threw a look at Ah Ling, which means that you see Jiuliuli and say that you like it! What are you talking nonsense?

Kamihara Suzu was not convinced, as a girl, of course she knew where Jiu Liuli liked the style of this necklace.

What she loves is that it's a gift from someone!

"Do you want me to put it on for you?"

"Is that okay?" Tianhai Jiuliuli's expression is not as dignified and atmospheric as usual, but now it is similar to a little girl who is looking forward to something, happy and cherishing what is about to happen.

"It's a small thing... It's still very easy. ”

Kamihara Le came to Tianhai Jiu Liuli, took the gift box in her hand, reopened it, took out the bracelet and tied it to the girl's slender wrist personally.

......

Tianhai Jiu Ruri's smile when he saw Kamihara Le wearing the bracelet for herself, and Kamihara Le himself tied the bracelet for her.

The seven bright moons of the sky and the sea were all in their eyes.

The whistle behind the Keio Line train was obviously too close, but it made her empty brain feel like an echo from ancient times.

When she saw this, and saw the smiles they showed to each other, a thought suddenly sprung up in her heart that should not disturb them.

She felt that under the sweet and harmonious atmosphere of her brother and sister, she was like an outsider who didn't need it at all.

She's standing here just an eyesore and a hindrance to their happiness.

Also to the... He had long forgotten what had happened before.

He likes his sister.

Myself... It's just that with the help of her sister's face, she quietly stole some things that belonged to her sister.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue suddenly saw his former self again, saw the sister who was praised by his mother, and the self who was kicked off the piano stage.

Actually, nothing has changed.

Nothing has changed......

The train roared out of the wind at the station, and with the noise of passengers getting on and off the train, and the echo of the radio sound at the station, Tianhai Qimingyue took several steps back and turned around.

"Well, where are you going?" Suzu Kamihara found her just as the Seven Bright Moon of the Heavenly Sea was about to leave.

"Restroom."

Eventually, she whispered a reply and disappeared into the crowd.

......

When Kamihara Le tied the bracelet for Jiuliuli and went to see Qi Mingyue, he found that she was gone.

"What about the Seven Bright Moons?" Kamihara asked Kamihara Suzu.

"Ah, she said she went to the bathroom."

"Is this time to go?"

"Who knows, maybe I can't get used to seeing you two Qingqing and me."

Although Kamihara Suzu's words are unintentional, this is the truth in Kamihara's ears.

Even Tianhai Jiuliuli knows it.

Kamihara wanted to sigh...... But the reality is like this, he can't do a completely flat bowl of water.

"I'll go find her."

"Brother... Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?" Kamihara Le found out that Tianhai Jiu Liuli seemed to have something special to say to himself.

"I also want to find Qi Mingyue and talk to her."

Shen Yuan Le shook his head and said, "Jiu Liuli you know, it's better for me to find this situation alone." ”

"Hmm..."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli's heart is quite complicated, she has to think about her brother, and she doesn't want to hurt her sister...

Only Suzu Kamihara listened to the lake in a daze, and there was a question mark in his head, what are you talking about?

Didn't Qi Mingyue go to the bathroom?

————————

Kamihara Le thought that it would be extremely difficult to find the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea.

Unexpectedly, she asked her a word on the line, and she replied that she was at home.

Kamihara took a taxi home, walked into the bedroom, and came to the room of Tianhai Qimingyue.

He knocked, and the door opened.

The appearance of the seven bright moons in the sky and sea also appeared in front of him.

"What is my brother looking for me?"

"I still have a gift for you."

"Gifts? I don't need that kind of thing. After speaking, Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to close the door.

Shenyuan Le's eyes were quick, blocked the door, and said to her: "Qi Mingyue, Jiu Liuli said at the station just now that I want to talk to you. ”

"Well, so what?"

The reaction of the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea was much calmer than what Kamihara Le thought.

"Well, actually, I want to talk to you... I don't really understand it yet, but I kind of know why you like me. ”

"Liking you doesn't mean pursuing you, I don't want to see you now, you go quickly."

Tianhai Qimingyue is a frail girl, and as long as Kamihara Raku blocks the door, it is impossible for her to close the door.

But this means deliberately bullying her, and Kamihara Le didn't force it, and according to her wishes, let her close the door.

Kacha snorted.

She closed the door.

"Seven bright moons." He shouted at the closed door.

There was an emotionless response from inside, "You go away, I don't want gifts, I don't want your care, you'd better be when I don't exist." ”

......

In the room, Tianhai Qimingyue leaned back against the door panel, holding his left arm with one hand.

Outside the door, Kamihara Le seemed to have given up after shouting to himself for more than ten minutes, and there was no movement.

A long time, bit by bit, passed in the night sky.

She was thinking, she had thought so much and made so many determinations during the day today.

I had already decided that I could ...... with my sister

But after seeing that he liked his sister so much and gave her such a good gift, he still couldn't help it and ran away.

She thought about it for a long time.

Why is this happening.

Eventually, she came to a conclusion.

I don't like myself.

Because I can't get likes, I don't even have the qualifications to share secretly.

......

Also, he's forgotten all about it... He is not as important to him as the sister he likes.

I have always been stealing his liking from my sister's face.

......

In the midst of melancholy and complex emotions, the seven bright moons of the sky looked out the window at the city of Tokyo under the night sky.

The mood that was really melancholy was suddenly broken by a foot stepping on his window.

Immediately, the window stood up half of its body sneakily.

Tianhai Qimingyue came to the window and looked outside.

It's Kamihara Le. He actually had to step on the cement baffle on the air conditioner hanging in mid-air from the balcony outside the living room, you must know that this is the sixteenth floor, and below is the downtown block, and if you accidentally slip your foot, you will definitely die.

The wind was very strong, and even the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea, who had always been calm, had some changes in tone at this moment:

"What are you doing! Go back! ”

Kamihara didn't hear what she said, and moved his other foot to the window of her room.

"Kamihara!"

Kamihara stepped directly on the window with two feet, then bent down and jumped in.

He clapped his hands and stood up.

The seven bright moons of the heavenly sea were standing in front of him, and he said with a smile: "Pull you out and give you a birthday gift, if the gift is not sent out on the same day, it will have no effect-"

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit in the face by a pillow.

"Idiot."

I was also scolded.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue seemed to be very angry.

Kamihara took off the pillow she threw on her face, the one she usually slept on. Holding his hands in his arms, he smiled at Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was obviously angry in front of him, and said:

"Don't worry, I won't fall."

"Why are you so confident?!"

"You... Do you care about me? ”

Then he was thrown by the pillow again. Well, it seems that this is really out of place, Xiao Qi is now concerned about his life.

"Actually, I have Spider-Man's skills temporarily, so I won't fall."

Thrown again.

"Still kidding!"

“......”

Shen Yuan Le took off another pillow, looked at Tianhai Qi Mingyue and smiled bitterly: "It's true, I didn't lie to you." ”

"Idiot! How could there be such a stupid fool as you! ”

"Mainly... I want to pull you out, if you are unhappy alone, this mood will hold back for a long time, which is very uncomfortable. ”

After Kamihara Le barely squeezed out this sentence, Tianhai Qi Mingyue glanced at him fiercely.

This forced him to look away, and he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.

However, if you look closely at Tianhai Qi Mingyue's room, you can find that there is almost nothing in her room except books and bookshelves, and the only other thing she looks at is the violin she put next to her desk and put it in a piano case.

This is not at all the room that a fifteen-year-old, ah, should be a sixteen-year-old female high school student should have.

Like a normal little girl, like Ah Ling, she will buy herself a lot of favorite things and decorate the room quite beautifully.

She doesn't have any friends other than her sister, and Qi Mingyue, who has almost no contact with anyone else, shouldn't have anyone who will give her gifts like girls, which leads to almost no other decoration in her room... Kamihara, who realized this through her room, couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Kamihara Le turned around, only to find that Tianhai Qimingyue's desk actually had the shark doll that he had given her before, which was "worthy of me".

"Well, didn't you say you threw the trash?"

It's still the most conspicuous position, next to the books she usually reads.

"I'm talking about hazardous waste, please remember it clearly."

"Oh, so why is the hazardous garbage still here?"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue clasped her hands to her chest, turned her head, and sighed again: "Didn't you say that you were going to take me to get a birthday gift." ”

Xiao July is changing the topic, and he sighs deliberately, pretending that nothing happened.

Kamihara Le felt that Xiao Qiyue was a lot cuter at this moment, so he followed her words and pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? Would you like to go out with me!? ”

Then he was thrown by the pillow again.

Now my face is crooked.

"Less garlic!"

His perfect acting skills were actually discovered by Qi Mingyue!

Worthy of a little devil.

Kamihara Raku held the three pillows in his arms, smiled at her and said, "That... Can you get out now? ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, and said coldly: "You go out, I'll comb my hair before leaving." ”

"Oh." Kamihara walked towards the door.

"Pillow stays."

"No problem."

Kamihara Le put down his pillow and walked out with a smile under the cold and cold gaze of the Seven Bright Moon of the Heavenly Sea.

He leaned his back against her door and waited quietly for five or six minutes.

Kacha snorted.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue walked out of the room, and at this time she seemed to have returned to her usual appearance.

"Uh...... Double ponytails? The hairstyle is a bit like the English pear that Xiang Ah Ling said before. ”

"Less nonsense, hurry up."

"No, it's just that I was a little surprised when I first saw your hairstyle."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's voice was obviously patient, but in the end, she was still deflated, and said to him again in a calm voice: "It's just that I don't have time to straighten my hair again, it's much easier to tie it up." ”

"It's cute..."In order to give his words more convincing, Kamihara Le also looked at her and nodded.

This made Tianhai Qi Mingyue almost unbearable, and directly stretched out his hand to twist the flesh on his waist: "It's all said, less nonsense, less nonsense, why don't you listen?" ”

"Huh, huh, huh—"

Every time she twisted herself, she couldn't help but have a facial twitch.

It really hurts!

"Okay, good," Kamihara Raku twisted his face and agreed repeatedly, trying to get her to stop, "Let's hurry up, let's go quickly." ”

Alas, such a fierce and cold woman.

Who will dare to marry her in the future?

Kamihara couldn't do it, and sighed in his heart.

Out the door, walking down the street.

The night breeze is sandwiched with the wind of the vehicles passing by the roadside, and at the same time greets the face with the colorful neon lights of various fashion stores.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue raised his eyes and looked at the back of the person walking in front: "You called my sister and them too?" ”

"Huh? No," Kamihara replied as he walked up to her, "I'll give you a gift alone, they've been shopping for another day, and they should be tired, so I didn't call them." ”

“......”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't speak, just followed him quietly.

Soon, Kamihara Raku took her to an optical store, and the clerk obviously knew Kamihara, and when he entered the door, she took out a small box that had been prepared earlier.

When it was opened, inside was a pair of frames that were very similar to the gold-wire glasses used before Tianhai Qimingyue.

"You're going to give me this?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue picked it up and looked at it a few times.

"Well," Kamihara Le returned to the situation he was in when he was giving gifts, "I heard Jiu Liuli say that your glasses have been used for several years, and you have been reading books recently and getting closer and closer, so I thought about getting you a new pair of glasses......"

Tianhai Qimingyue has only one look: staring.

Kamihara Le was stared at by her: "Hey, don't look down on it, these frames are super expensive, it seems that some different metal is used, it's light and good-looking... And on the inside of the frame, I also spent money to hire a master to engrave, such a small frame, a word costs 50,000 yen! So, I'll carve two, you see. ”

Tianhai Qimingyue picked up the frame and looked at it according to the place he said, and there were indeed the words [July].

"Who told you to engrave my nickname?"

"Huh? Isn't it okay? ”

"Nope."

Probably because the nickname [July] has a very shameful meaning for Qi Mingyue, so she has been reluctant to call her July.

Kamihara can probably understand what this kind of title means.

If you call her [July] outside, it is the same as calling her [little baby] in front of outsiders.

For Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who has always only manipulated others, it's no wonder that she doesn't feel ashamed!

However, Qi Mingyue's shame is different, she will definitely kill you with a gaze that is enough to chill people.

And in a physical sense, to declare someone's death.

"Forget it."

"Huh? Did you accept this gift? How does it feel? ”

There was no joy or displeasure on her face.

"Reluctantly, but as a gift, I accepted it."

"Oh." Kamihara wanted to see what her expression was, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it at all.

The clerk of the optical store smiled and took Tianhai Qimingyue to get the lenses, compared to the past, her prescription was indeed a little higher, but because the habit was maintained very well, the improvement in prescription was not too obvious.

For her, the previous frame was just a lost look.

It won't take a few minutes to get the glasses, but Tianhai Qimingyue found that Kamihara Le was missing at this time, and the clerk who received her explained normally that the gentleman went to the toilet.

And also smiled and asked if you were boyfriend and girlfriend or something.

For this kind of question, Tianhai Qimingyue will only choose to respect the facts, and the answer is no.

The clerk looked very surprised.

What is there to be surprised about.

......

When the glasses were on the frame and the new glasses were officially completed, Tianhai Qimingyue put them on and tried them on.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, just get used to it a little."

I was a little dizzy with my new glasses and had to stand up and walk around.

Where did that guy run away?

However, not long after Tianhai Qi Mingyue put it on, he was stunned when he walked out of the store.

Because she saw this guy Kamihara, she actually staggered and brought a life-size shark doll.

"Happy birthday, July."

He poked his smiling head out of the shark's white belly.

......

In the azure eyes of Tianhai Qimingyue, his appearance was reflected, and the block of pedestrians behind him and the bright lights of the clothing store opposite him were also reflected.

She didn't speak, just watched silently.

He did give it to himself... Gift......

Only give yourself a birthday present......

Kamihara still couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy on her face. She just looked at it like that, with her usual emotionless gaze......

Kamihara was a little hairy in his heart again.

You don't really like it, do you?

Probably not... The shark doll she gave her last time was said to be hazardous garbage, and she still kept it.

But if you think about it, sending this kind of large doll on the street is indeed... It's embarrassing.

No, Ah Ling is here, and he definitely has to scold himself for being old-fashioned!

It's really old-fashioned......

"Uh... That, if you don't like it, I'll throw it away? ”

"Who said they were going to throw away ......"

Kamihara was happy to see that she finally took it, and whispered, "Didn't you say that dolls are harmful garbage to you......"

It wasn't until Kamihara raised his head again that he realized he was wrong.

Because Tianhai Qi Mingyue was hugging this doll tightly at this time, her beautiful cheeks were deeply attached to the shark's white belly, her eyes were half-closed, and her eyes were visibly reflected with a bright luster because of the white light in the optical store.

It's not as cold as usual, and it's not as emotionless as usual.

And like a little girl, she got precious things, and she had a bit of pity and cherishment.

It's so cute......

At this point, it seems that whether it is her uncharacteristically tied double ponytail hairstyle, or the way she buries her face in the belly of a shark, it has become extremely cute.

She is already very beautiful, and such a gesture is even more distressing and loving.

The current Qiming Moon is so cute......

He had to repeat it a second time in his mind......

Kamihara suddenly found himself in front of her, and he also became at a loss.

Even the voice that spoke with him changed.

"That's... You like today's gift, right? ”

It was a long time before he received an almost inaudible reply.

“...... Like. ”

Like...

It's completely different from usual.,It's like an emotional voice.。

Kamihara was so stunned that he didn't even have time to reminisce, he couldn't see her face blocked by the shark doll at the moment, and he didn't know what kind of expression she was, but from her voice, her mood at this time was very different from usual.

"Oh, that's good... I bought a shark doll for you before, and then you were cold to me for a few days, and I thought you really didn't like it... I don't even have much confidence in the gift I plan to give today. ”

"I... Loved ......"

The girl replied quietly, it was clear that the street was blowing cold wind at night, but Kamihara Le inexplicably felt that his body was getting hotter, he looked at the night sky inexplicably, inexplicably exhaled the heat in his mouth, and inexplicably supported his waist with his hands.

Ha ha... Why is it so embarrassing, but the corners of your mouth want to laugh?

It's weird.

Finally, after the atmosphere eased for a while, Kamihara Rakucai scratched his head in embarrassment and continued:

"That's... If you like it......"

Strictly speaking, Kamihara didn't finish this sentence, because he accidentally saw what kind of side face Tianhai Qimingyue was wearing double ponytail hair and holding a shark doll at this time.

She only left one eye for herself to see, and when she raised her eyes, the lights around her seemed to be reflected by her bright and moist eyes with a variety of colors of light, beautiful, lovely, innocent... can be used to describe.

Half of her face was hiding under the shark's belly, and the way she hugged the doll tightly was so cute that it made people feel as if something was feverish.

It makes people want to hold their chests tightly and try their best to contain this inexplicable touch.

It's too foul......

Tianhai Qimingyue looked at herself with such eyes, even if it was night behind her and there was no dazzling sun, but in the eyes of Kamihara Le, it was still difficult to look directly.

This is a completely different her from the usual Qi Mingyue.

I really want to see her like this again... But I was stopped by an indescribable feeling in my heart.

In such a long, seemingly endless strange and scorching torment, Tianhai Qi Mingyue hugged the birthday gift he gave him, she lowered her eyes slightly, and Kamihara Le also received a voice from her that she had never heard before:

“... Thank you brother ......"
