In fact, they all know the purpose of Sakakihara Raku calling a few people out for a run.

At the beginning, he would personally run with everyone, follow everyone, and smile and say cheers to everyone.

But as time passed, Tianhai Jiu Ruri suddenly changed from the leader at the beginning to the person who accompanied the team and the queen of the palace, that is, the responsibilities of Sakakihara Le were exchanged.

Tianhai Jiuliuli knew that his brother did this just to want to have more contact with Qi Mingyue, and also let Qi Mingyue try to rely more on himself during the running process.

The older brother is trying to create a space for the two of them to be alone.

And now, my brother is indeed an initial success.

- Qi Mingyue can't hold on anymore.

In the process of running, Tianhai Jiuliuli noticed the increasingly painful appearance of Tianhai Qimingyue in front of him.

The breathing is getting faster and faster, the body and movements are getting heavier and heavier, compared to the steady pace at the beginning, at this time, it can already be used to describe the condition of Tianhai Qimingyue's body.

Judging from Tianhai Jiuliuli's years of running experience, Qi Mingyue was already about to faint.

"Seven bright moons."

"Seven bright moons."

"Qi Mingyue," Tianhai Jiu Liuli shouted three times behind her, "That's enough, you can stop." ”

But even if she did, he reminded her that she could stop, and this sister, who was five minutes late to herself, was still taking heavy steps forward.

In the past, Tianhai Qi Mingyue would definitely stop without hesitation, and then go behind his back and say to himself expressionlessly, "Sister, you can carry the rest of the way, and I can do it." ”

Then I would laugh at her, or just flick her head and say, "What kind of running is this?" ”

Then, Qi Mingyue will definitely use some quirky and ingenious words to convince herself, let herself carry her, and complete the next journey in her place.

It should have been like this.

That's how it should be.

But now Qi Mingyue not only won't listen to herself, but she won't even call her sister when she is about to faint, and then approach her as before.

Or is it impossible for the current Qimingyue to approach him like before, right?

The naughty sister who is willing to hold her arm and call her sister is no longer there, right?

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't know how to describe her mood, but she felt a trace of loss, a trace of loss from her heart.

I've had this mood before.

It was the mood that emerged when she saw her sister swinging alone outside with her head bowed when she was practicing.

The feeling of wanting to help but not being able to do anything and not knowing where to start.

All kinds of thoughts rippled in his heart, and he was quickly interrupted by the action of Tianhai Qi Mingyue falling down in the running in front of him.

Because of the numbness and weakness of his legs when he ran, Tianhai Qi Mingyue stumbled and fell towards the road.

Fortunately, the speed behind her was not fast, and when her body went soft, she barely supported her upper body with one hand.

Seeing her sister like this, their current relationship made Tianhai Jiuliuli not step forward to help her for the first time, and Tianhai Qimingyue soon stood up again with her own will.

She looked ahead and was about to take another step without saying anything, but she was not good at sports in the first place, and her breathing was so rapid that she was no longer allowed to continue.

The body is shaking, the legs are sore, and they are about to fall again.

But this time, someone was holding her up.

"It's okay, Qimingyue." Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked at her sister's face that was the same as herself.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue was already extremely weak, her expression was in a trance, she looked at her sister's face, and at the same time her own face, and reluctantly said: "Sister must have come to sarcastically mock me."

"Why do you think that?" Tianhai Jiu Liuli held her arm.

"Because I've always been able to eat my sister's leftovers, whether my mother cares." Tianhai Qi Mingyue probably didn't want to discuss too much in this matter, and deliberately didn't finish speaking, "No matter what I do, what I work towards, I will always only get mercy and charity." Doesn't my sister think so? Isn't that true? ”

She said this without hurry, but because of her breath, it sounded a little difficult.

"My sister is the first to do anything, and my mother's care is only given to my sister since I was a child, and every time I see my sister playing makes my mother ecstatic, I feel that I am a dispensable existence. That's why I left you alone that day. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli remembers that day, and that day was also the day when Qi Mingyue officially met his brother.

"I don't want to talk about the events of that day, I just know that no one came to look for me, and no one cared about where I was.

"Mom lied to me that day that you were upstairs," Tianhai Jiu Ruri explained.

"I don't, I don't want to blame you, sister, I'm just saying a fact about what I experienced."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue pushed away Tianhai Jiuliuli's hand to hold him, and continued to run forward with tired steps.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli followed, looking at her sister's side face, the feelings in her eyes were so complicated that even she didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

Qi Mingyue's pace was very slow, and Tianhai Jiu Liuli was able to speak on her side very smoothly:

"I, I can understand Qi Mingyue's thoughts and understand your feelings. But as far as I'm concerned, Qi Mingyue, I really can't let go. ”

Seven bright moons continued to look ahead, her forehead flushed with her hair and the sea level of Tokyo Bay in the distance to her right. There were a few more drops of sweat on it clearly visible.

She didn't answer her sister's words, and she kept silent as if she was listening to Tianhai Jiuliuli continue.

Tianhai Jiuliuli already knew her sister's answer. Of course, for her sister, she can't let go.

No, in fact, Qi Mingyue had already tried to let go.

Tried to let go of her persistence for more than ten years.

Obviously, she failed.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was also very confused at the moment, she looked at her sister, who was once close to her, and never knew how to get along with her and what identity to get along with.

They are hostile, but they are not entirely hostile.

Sisters, but not exactly sisters.

Feelings for my sister and feelings for my brother can't be chosen.

And because of dependence, I don't want to separate, even a little bit.

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought again and again in silence, met Xiang Twin Sister's cheeks with his eyes, and said:

"Qi Mingyue, we, we can try to be less-for-tat."

Sister's words made Tianhai Qi Mingyue a little sober even in the groggy running of her head, although she still did not look back, but ran forward with difficulty.

"That doesn't mean I'm giving in to you emotionally. You and I both know that we can't compromise with each other on this point, but you and I both know that our relationship for more than ten years will not disappear easily. To be honest, I know it's weird to say it myself, and I don't know if I can do it, but I hope we can treat each other separately emotionally and in life. ”

However, Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't listen to what her sister said, and she was already exhausted and still ran forcibly, which would only lead to insufficient oxygen supply to her brain.

Tianhai Qimingyue fainted in the heavy running.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli held her up when she fell completely.

Looking at my sister, I looked at the face of this twin sister who was with me every day.

The complicated feelings in her heart made Tianhai Jiuliuli not know how to face her in the future.

But at least, now, when she is in a coma, she can still take care of her as a sister.

The Nine Glasses of the Tenkai carried the Seven Bright Moons of the Celestial Sea behind him, and continued to take steps towards the Sakakiwara Suzu and the Snow of the Tenkai that had already gone away.

*

"Are you alright?"

In the Hama Gift Garden, Sakakihara saw the Nine Glasses of the Tenkai with the Seven Bright Moons of the Tenkai behind him.

Tianhai Jiu Ruri looked back at her sister who was unconscious on her shoulder, and said to Sakakihara Le, who was worried in front of her: "It's okay, I've already seen it, probably because Qi Mingyue ate too little before going out, plus she usually eats less, and she has some low blood sugar." ”

Sakakihara originally wanted to let Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue take the opportunity to get along, let Jiu Liuli take care of Qi Mingyue running, and accompany him for a long time, even if the relationship between the two does not ease, it will at least improve a little bit.

But he didn't expect that Qi Mingyue would faint directly.

It can't be that you don't want to lose to Jiuliuli, and then compete with Jiuliuli, right?

Tianhai Zhixue looked at the fainting Qi Mingyue sluggishly, not knowing what he was thinking in his head.

Sakakihara Suzu, who was lying on the ground, asked, "Brother, can you take the car back now?" ”

At this stage, it is definitely difficult for them to finish the remaining five kilometers. Sakakihara is well aware of this.

"Well, Qi Mingyue has fainted, I'm afraid she'll catch a cold if I stay outside any longer, let's go, take a taxi home."

Suzu Sakakihara was eager to take the car home, so she raised a hand, sat on the grass and shouted weakly, "Okay."

Everyone shouted a taxi on the side of the road, asked Amami no Yuki and Sakakihara Suzu to get into the car first, and then asked the two of them to help support the fainting Amami Seven Bright Moon. Sakakihara Le and Tianhai Jiu Ruri shouted another one and followed back.

In the car, Sakakihara sensed the heat on the body of Tianhai Jiururi that had just finished exercising.

When reciting the Seven Bright Moon just now, Sakakihara Le subtly sensed that Nine Liuli and Seven Bright Moon might have said something.

"Nine glasses."

"Huh?" Tianhai Jiuliuli agreed very easily, like a little sun, and the tone of voice gave people a kind of warmth.

"Did you communicate with Qi Mingyue about anything just now?"

"Yes." Tianhai Jiu Liuli does not intend to hide it.

"What did you say?"

"I don't know how to explain it"

Sakakihara was relieved: "Okay, I won't ask more." ”

He smiled again and said: "I know, I can't match you now, my own ability is not enough, I said a long time ago that I was looking for a new target, but until now I am still a little confused." ”

"Don't say that."

Sakakihara smiled slightly: "Jiu Ruri, I don't say this to make you worry, I just want you to know that I will work hard to improve myself in the future." People are looking forward and progressing, aren't they? Therefore, Jiuliuli should also look forward. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli could see that this was Sakakihara Le's unhappy mood in his heart. Deliberately lowering his identity, and then encouraging himself to appear better in front of him.

"Lejun doesn't have to be like this"

"Jiu Liuli, I don't have many advantages as a person, I can only do what I want to do as much as I can. Most of the time I was also confused and couldn't find direction and presence, so. A lot of times I think it's great to be liked by you. ”

Sakakihara laughed.

"Haha, what's wrong with me, I obviously wanted to comfort you, but I said something emotional. I probably have already guessed what you said to Qi Mingyue, presumably Jiu Liuli must be very conflicted, on one side is my sister, and on the other side is me. These days, I hope everyone will be quiet, give enough space, and then think about how to get along with each other in the long run.

Because "human relations are not only 'hostile' and 'intimate', which is too extreme. Although there will be irreconcilable contradictions in the relationship, in life, I hope that a few of us can try to get along again, and then try to find each other's boundaries and solutions-"

After Sakakihara Le said this, Tianhai Jiu Liuli's heart even lit up.

She seemed to sense that even if she didn't tell Sakakihara about her specific conversation with Qi Mingyue, he seemed to know herself and understood her thoughts.

"Okay, in the next few days, I'll try to help Zhixue get a YouTube account. After all, that's what I promised her. ”

——————

The next day, Qi Mingyue still had a cold.

I don't have to go to the Faculty of Literature today, but Sakakihara has no time to be idle.

He also has to take care of the snow, take care of the new account of the snow.

Because of the [take me to the bathroom] incident, the most asked question by Sakakihara now is what is his relationship with the snow of the sky.

It is rumored that it is a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, there is a rumor that it is a master-servant relationship, and there is a rumor that he betrayed Jiuliuli and likes the new and hates the old.

Everyone is regretting that Tianhai Jiuliuli, such a gentle, sunny and atmospheric girl was abandoned by a scumbag.

Sakakihara walks in school, and often encounters some righteous indignant eyes, as if he has defiled the goddess in their hearts.

And then what about the facts?

Jiuliuli doesn't care at all!

You guys, you really don't have anything to do!

But.

Having said that, every time Amami no Yuki comes to look for him, Sakakihara Raku feels that the classmates in the class can really kill him with a misunderstanding + jealous gaze.

Because she came to find herself, either she forgot to bring something today, or she wanted to take her to buy food or take her home, so there was a lot of oolong.

Even Fujino and Nishijima sighed to themselves, saying that you should ask for more blessings.

"Le."

"What." Sakakihara replied weakly.

"Today's fried ice cream was delicious."

"If you like it."

"Why does Le look so tired?"

"Because it's tiring to take care of you."

"Does Le hate me?"

"Pour. It's not annoying. Just feel tired to take care of you. ”

"Good work."

"You might as well have a longer memory if you thank me," Sakakihara looked at the girl who was taking a sip of bread on the side, "What happened to you at school today?" ”

"Lost."

"How did you get lost?"

"When I'm in art class."

"Where did you go?"

"A lot of ginkgo trees."

"You went out of school?"

"Probably."

"And then?" Sakakihara asked.

"I've been invited home."

"Who? Male or female? ”

"Male, skinny, with a chain around his neck and ears."

Isn't this a street gangster?

"You promised?"

"Promised."

"You really followed him home?!"

"I went back to school and met the PE teacher."

Fortunately, it seems that Sakakihara Le misunderstood, not a gangster, but a good person.

But that doesn't work.

Sakakihara told the snow of the sky again: "You can't go home with strangers, and you can't follow strangers. ”

"Why?"

"Because they're going to do a lot of bad things to you!"

"Le is not a friend, but also a stranger before."

"People are different, bad people don't write on their faces, you remember that, and don't follow strangers this point for me to remember."

"Is it an order?"

"It's a request."

"Okay then."

Tianhai Zhixue's tone didn't fluctuate, and her expression didn't change in any way, but she did seem to remember this event.

Sakakihara stretched out his hand to her: "Bring the manual, and the pen." ”

From the small bag he carried with him, Tianhai no Yuki took the "Snow Life Attention Book" to Sakakihara Le.

Then watch as he lifts the leather cover with his thumb and writes the 164th and 165th notes on top with a gel pen.

"I can't remember so many of my stuff."

"That's why I want you to carry it with you, and take it out when you're okay or when you're lost."

Sakakihara closed the handbook and handed it back to Amami no Yuki.

Then, he looked at the sky on the rooftop, stunned.

The snow of the sky and the sea also looked at his side face.

"Don't be in a daze."

"You're the least qualified to say I'm good."

After Sakakihara complained about these things, he looked at the gray sky in winter, and his mood became more and more depressed.

"Happy to have something on your mind."

"Even you can see it"

"Pigs can fly."

After the silence, this inexplicable sentence suddenly appeared, and Sakakihara couldn't help but turn his head and meet the unmoved direct gaze of the snow of the sky. Only then did he realize that the girl was trying to amuse herself with jokes.

But because there is no emotion, I can't get the laugh point of the joke at all, so it will be more inexplicable to say it than a cold joke.

He couldn't help but bow his head and smile: "Although the joke is not funny, thank you anyway." ”

"Let's have fun eating bread too." The snow of the sea handed over the baumkuchen bread that he had eaten half-eaten.

"Thanks, I don't have to."

“.”

Sakakihara turned his head and noticed that the snow of the sky and sea suddenly stopped eating bread.

It's very curious what a girl like her who lacks emotion and doesn't show anything more than Qi Mingyue is thinking.

But more than that, Sakakihara is actually more concerned about what has happened in recent days.

He suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to, and Zhixue might be a good person to talk to.

“yuki。” Sakakihara said as he stared at the snow falling from the sky.

"Are you calling me?"

"Well, we've been going for a morning run for the last two weeks, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what I'm pulling you to run?"

"I want people to love running."

"How could you think so. Of course not, I pull them to run mainly because I want them to enhance each other's feelings, but it doesn't seem to be useful, although I will say something to Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue every day, saying that they care about each other very much, and they will also pull them together to have a beautiful breakfast when everyone is out of breath, and you are also there, so Zhixue, you should know this, but they are very smart, I also understand the actual meaning of me pulling them to run, so they subconsciously reduce contact with each other during running, and rarely communicate even when eating.

"However, it seems that yesterday was a little effective."

Sakakihara was quite emotional.

“.”

The snow of the sea was quiet for a long time, and muttered:

"Le often goes to accompany Xiao Jiu, obviously dating Xiao Qi."

"Looks like you get it. Many times I don't like myself very much, when I stay with Jiu Liuli, I will feel guilty for Qi Mingyue's dedication, and when I stay with Qi Mingyue, I will feel guilty because of Jiu Liuli's kindness to me.

"Jiu Liuli still doesn't know about my private relationship with Qi Mingyue, if she knows the situation, she doesn't know how to develop, and now, this sign is becoming more and more obvious."

Sakakihara smiled bitterly at the snow of the heavenly sea: "How is it, will you be disappointed after knowing that I am such a person?" People keep saying they like it, but he's a scumbag who pedals two boats."

"Le's not."

"I am."

"Le's not."

"I am."

"Le's not."

"I am."

"Le's not."

“.”

Sakakihara dared to believe that as long as she continued to say the phrase "is scum", the single-celled girl of Amami no Yuki would keep repeating her words.

"Can I ask why Snow thinks I'm not?"

"Leke cooks."

"Cooking is nothing."

"Joy is also very good for people."

"That's it."

"Le will also give me his room."

"It's all the little things."

"The utility room is much smaller than a normal bedroom, and the windows are smaller."

"I know that."

"I often forget things and have fun and don't get angry."

"Because it's not your fault."

"So, Le is a good person."
