It is impossible to buy large and small bags of snacks, vegetables, and meat at the supermarket and take the train home.

Carrying four large bags of plastic bags, I hailed a taxi home at random on the side of the road.

It's a 7-kilometer drive and 14 minutes to the bottom of the apartment, which costs 3,200 yen.

After arriving at the door, Sakakihara did not ring the doorbell to remind everyone that he was back, but took the key to open the door lock and quietly went in.

Change into slippers and put the ingredients for today's cooking in the kitchen.

There was no one in the living room, and Sakakihara went to everyone's bedroom to take a look, it was Suzu at work, and Ruri and Zhixue didn't seem to be at home.

So. July isn't there either?

Sakakihara is actually a little lost at this time.,The place of loss is that this afternoon inexplicably, some people want to see July, and it's precisely because of this.,But when she goes home, she's not at home.,The feelings of longing can't be satisfied.。

The potato chips I bought in my hand were not good for her to give them to her as soon as possible.

With such a feeling of regret, Sakakihara looked up and saw the half-hidden bedroom door next to the glass, the room in July.

Sunlight leaked through the cracks in the doors, and some wind blew into the hallway.

July is usually a very detail-oriented person, if she goes out, not only will the windows close, the curtains will be closed, and even those electrical appliances and other things will be unplugged.

So.

Sakakihara approached slowly, came to the door of July's bedroom, put his hand on the doorknob, and quietly pushed inside.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a small book in her hand, the girl who was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed appeared in front of her.

She has flaxen-colored hair, bright and clear eyes, and delicate three-dimensional cheeks like snow-white jade. The curtain swayed in front of the window, and the girl sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her long hair flowing with a faint golden light, falling lightly on her shoulders. Every strand of hair seems to have been carefully sketched by the painter, natural and clear.

I used to think that July was particularly good-looking, but now I'm used to it, and it's still good-looking

Finding that she was flipping through the book over there, but still didn't see herself, Sakakihara smiled and pushed the door in.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue found him at this time, turned his head while holding the book, and helped the frame of his glasses:

"Coming back now?"

As soon as he heard this cold and clear voice, and saw her close in front of him, Sakakihara felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

"July~~"

Seeing someone approaching, Tianhai Qi Mingyue decisively withdrew her gaze and used her left hand to block the face he pasted.

“.？”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't look at him, still focused his gaze, turning the pages of the book with his thumb, "I don't know if you know a proverb, you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief." ”

"I'm missing you." Sakakihara suddenly caught a glimpse of the small shark bracelet he had given her last night on her wrist.

"Miss me? I didn't think about me for a month, why did you suddenly run back today? ”

Sakakihara doesn't care about her coldness, or that July is like this, as long as she first touches her, she will seem a little resistant.

It's her character.

"Why don't you see what I've brought you back."

Sakakihara Raku said, taking out the plastic bag hidden behind his back, and then sat down next to the girl, and began to pick out the contents of the contents.

Six or seven bags of potato chips, walnuts and cashew nuts, yogurt, rice crackers, vegetable strips, low-salt seaweed. This also has two boxes of strawberries.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue watched him pick out one thing after another from the plastic bag, and every time he picked out one piece, he had to say at length why he bought this.

For example, walnuts and cashews are high in protein, as well as healthy fats and fiber.

Low-fat and fat-free yogurts are rich in protein and calcium, which are good for bones.

Vegetable strips have vitamins, and low-salt seaweed has minerals

"Snacks?"

"Yes, it's all for you. Isn't it July that you stay at home every day, and you eat too little, how can this work? By the way, the last time you ran was not still low blood sugar, you should also supplement more sugar, supplement potato chips, even if you like it, you have to eat less, more fat. ”

“.”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at his enthusiasm for picking out the things he bought one by one and introducing them to himself, and he didn't know what to say.

"You left work early just to buy these things and go home.?"

"Or else?"

"They were all bought for me?"

"Or else?"

While Sakakihara asked rhetorically, he was also observing July's expression and looking at her face.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't know what this person was crazy all of a sudden, but the way he looked at him was indeed a little different from the past.

Should I praise him, or should I say that he only now knows that he cares so passionately about himself

"July.?"

“.”

"Don't you stop talking—"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue turned his face to the side, "I really don't know what you bought these things for."

Seeing that she took the initiative to avoid her gaze, Sakakihara laughed instead, put down the things in his hand, and approached her:

"Ahem. To care for you, of course. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue sighed, "Why didn't I see you so attentive before?" After all, it's not because I know I have a good chance of getting pregnant. ”

"By no means."

"Do you think I believe it?"

Sakakihara felt that she was very bad to her, and it was good at first, but since she and Ruri quarreled, it seems that there is no longer the sweetness that the two of them had before.

To be honest, I'm really trying to be nice to July.

On the one hand, she has so many emotional losses, and on the other hand, even if she says more than anything to her, she still has herself in her heart

As soon as she heard that she was going to disappear, she immediately ran to England to find her.

She doesn't hold her accountable for the wrong things she did, and she doesn't care about the things that make her sad. She only asked to be a little nicer to her in the future

But as a result, because they had just finished a fight, there was still a lot of trouble between the two after they came back from England. It wasn't until last night that the relationship between myself and her went back a little.

July.

Give her a bracelet a little, and she will secretly be happy in her heart for most of the night.

I still wear it

She has a poisonous tongue and always likes to have a hard mouth. But which of her kindness to people is not touching?

Sakakihara tried to get closer to her, reached out, and placed his palm on hers.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue saw his movements, but did not take the initiative to remove his hand, but turned his eyes, looked at him beside him through gold wire glasses and said:

"Do you want to say sorry to me again?"

"You guessed it all July?"

Because someone is destined to be a fool."

"First of all, I'm certainly not as bad as you say. But in July, you have to like stupid, ahem, that seems to be pretty good. ”

“.”

Tianhai Qimingyue was suddenly silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Sakakihara asked quickly.

Unexpectedly, Tianhai Qi Mingyue directly showed a disgusted look.

“.？” Sakakihara was even more puzzled.

"I really don't know where I learned the meaty love words, I only have one comment on this."

"Not bad?"

"Disgusting."

“.”

Sakakihara Le was hit hard, but people, just to be thick-skinned, quickly took Tianhai Qimingyue's hand, and kept saying coaxing words in her ear.

I've been dating July for so long, so I must have found some tricks.

What July likes most about dating is having someone to talk to her about what she likes and care about her.

Sakakihara began to chat with her around these two points.

Although it is not enough to have a reserve of knowledge about it, it would be good if July expressed her approval when she said something, and if she could, she could also give a little bit of her own opinion, and she was happy to listen to these and give her some evaluations.

July is still very good at evaluating things, at least the reason and logic she said, Sakakihara Le can't find any point to refute.

From east to west, from to life. I guess I talked to July for about two hours.

From the beginning of the hand, Sakakihara Le can already hug her waist at this time.

"Talk to me so much? Just to get close to me? ”

"I've said it before, I'm thinking of you in July." Sakakihara explained as he slipped into her fingers with a hand that went around her thin waist.

Palm-to-palm, finger-to-finger. Stick tightly

"Why?"

"The reason is actually very simple. It's just that I've been thinking about the possibility of you getting pregnant all day. I was restless at work, and then when I sat in the office and flipped through the documents, I habitually took out my mobile phone to look at it. I saw that group photo of us on a motorcycle trip. Yes, the one you kicked the rock in July and made me crash into your arms. ”

Sakakihara said this, and paused.

"When you were holding me in July, your eyes were also watching me, and although there was no expression, you could still see that July was very happy."

Tianhai Qimingyue, "So what?" ”

"Looking at these pictures, I can feel that you like me, and then because of this, I think more and more. I want you to confess to me in the past July, you braved the snow to come to me, and you took care of me again and again in the conversation, and I think that the person who wants to hold me in this photo is so important. And suddenly there was a worry - what if she suddenly disappeared?

"At this time, I was desperate to see you in July, and I wanted to go back to see you, so I came back."

After Sakakihara finished speaking, he also made a gesture of spreading his arms in front of her.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue felt that he was quite mature when he heard himself talk about things just now, and he was quite mature when he told stories, but this action of deliberately trying to make himself happy looked very childish.

"Childish."

"Childish? It's good to be naïve, no one likes to have a straight face every day and not smile at all. ”

"Am I not?"

"In July, you are your own personality, but because of this, in July, you need someone to laugh in front of you and make you happy in front of you! Otherwise, when you were used to being alone before, did you look gloomy and gloomy all day long? ”

As she spoke, Sakakihara laughed again in front of the girl.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue saw this smiling face of his and knew. It was a smile he deliberately showed to make himself laugh.

It's obviously not funny, but it's funny to watch him in front of him. Still. I really want to laugh.

"Poof." Tianhai Qi Mingyue's expression was not tight, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Ahh Ha ha! July, you see you're not smiling! ”

I don't know where you got so much talk."

"It's called feeling!"

Sakakihara Le saw Tianhai Qimingyue laughing rarely, and his heart was sincerely happy, he grabbed a small shark doll that Qimingyue placed next to the pillow, hid his face behind him, and smiled at the girl next to him with half of his face.

"Well, don't you think it's nice to have me around? At least one person will deliberately amuse you. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't know how to describe his mood, and he didn't know how to describe his deliberately funny appearance by his side.

But the truth is exactly what he says. Warm heart.

"Like a fool."

"Stupid people make you laugh, don't they?"

It took a long time for Tianhai Qi Mingyue to collect his emotions and take a deep breath to calm his mood, but when he turned his head to the side, he saw him holding his shark doll and smiling at himself with his head sideways.

"July~~"

He also shouted affectionate names and funny tones.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue snatched the shark doll in his hand at once, put it on his thigh together, and stared at it silently.

"I'm insecure."

"I know."

As Sakakihara spoke, his hand was placed on the girl's shoulder, pulling her into his arms.

This time, July was not as arrogant as before.

"Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to say this to me in July."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue turned the shark doll over and turned that happy expression to herself.

"I know that there is no reason for safety, and I didn't know if I could find you again, after all, when I came to look for you when I was six years old, you and your grandmother had already moved, and no one around knew where you had gone.

"But I. . . I still can't let go of the feeling of wanting to see you again, I really want to eat the fried rice you made again, I really want you to take me and Suzu out to play again, I really want you to take me to the forest I haven't seen before to see the insects inside, introduce me to what those are, and tell me good stories.

"My sister practices the piano every day, my father only knows how to work, and my mother puts all her energy on my sister, and I have nothing to do alone, so I can only fantasize about the next time I meet you, tell you that I have learned a lot of knowledge, and then listen to you tell you a lot of stories.

"You also know the situation, brother, this mood has lasted for more than ten years. I haven't been relieved in the slightest, and I've been to your side several times to see where my grandmother has moved, maybe she knows about you, but she still hasn't returned. ”

Sakakihara saw that when Tianhai Qimingyue was saying this, his little thumb kept playing with the smiling face of the shark doll.

Helplessness, emptiness, loss.

These things should be the emotions that have been with July and grown up with her.

Hearing her say this, Sakakihara Rakku had already taken the initiative to pull her into his arms. Although it is not so reliable now, it is a place where she can express her feelings.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't refuse or be arrogant this time, and turned her face, her face quietly pressed against his chest.

"Although you bastard isn't that reliable but. It's pretty comfortable, too."

Sakakihara laughed, hugged her in his arms, and hugged her tighter, "If you are comfortable, you can say that you are comfortable, how can there be so many words." ”

"You hug me more, I'm afraid you guys will run away."

"I can't ask for it."

"Take off your clothes."

"What are you doing?"

"I want it."

“.”

So straightforward?

"It's as straightforward as that. But this time you should be gentle, and you don't want to play with those weird things. While my sister was still playing basketball with Zhixue. ”

"Okay."
