For Ruri, going to the UK is an obsession that accompanies her life.

It is also her pillar and goal in the past.

Day and night training, day and night perseverance. It's all about satisfying her mother's request, because she knows that as long as she performs well enough, she can be taken by her mother to the place she always longs for and expects.

And now, Ruri says that there are more important things than going to England.

The words are simple and the tone is ordinary. The look in his eyes is so sincere that he cannot be doubted.

I've been with Ruri for so long, and Sakakihara can see and feel it. This sentence is her heart.

Once upon a time, someone could say such a thing to themselves?

"It has long belonged to you". Roughly only exists in the imagination, right?

Walking in the snowy mountain trails, the cold winter breeze has been lingering around his body, and Sakakihara suddenly felt that the hand held in the center of his palm was delicate and warm.

"Ruri is really, what are you doing with these words."

Le, Lejun will sound very embarrassed? My whole being has long belonged to you or something."

At first, Ruri said this firmly and seriously, but now that she repeats it, the inside of her face is as rosy as if she has a fever, and her tone is very small.

The sky-blue eyes were also full of shame and confusion, and he didn't dare to look at him anymore.

Her hands were visibly clenched.

"I'm sorry."

"Naraku-kun"

"But"

"Well, Lejun said."

"I'm grateful that Ruri can say these words to me, but should Ruri focus on herself now? Liuli doesn't belong to anyone, Liuli is Liuli, it's herself. As Ruri, she has people she likes, and people she wants to rely on, all of which are Ruri's thoughts, not all of them belong to me. ”

This was a bit of a twist, but Tianhai Jiu Ruri heard Sakakihara's original intention.

He hopes that he can be independent, and he is not attached to anyone, and his thoughts and actions are only out of the will of the personality of "Liuli".

This is true of hating someone, liking someone, liking one thing, hating one thing, and so on.

These words are very true.

But Lejun is also really. Now is the time to talk about these great truths

"What's wrong? Ruri, what I'm saying isn't quite right? ”

"Lejun is like this sometimes, I don't understand people's meaning." Tianhai Jiuliuli muttered quietly.

"What does Ruri mean?"

"That's it. That's it."

"Look, Liuli said that I don't understand the heart, but I asked patiently, and Liuli couldn't say it again. So you can't blame me for that. ”

"It's just that Lejun is too stupid"

"Am I too stupid?"

"It's just too stupid."

Sakakihara hesitated for a moment, and then combined with what Ruri said to himself at the beginning. Instantly understood the other meaning of her words.

"Liuli is saying, I can come to you and go to that and that at will?"

"Uh-huh. Or else? ”

Sakakihara smiled again, "Ruri is really, we have such a close relationship in the first place, and we are still shy to talk about these things?" ”

"What, what, what was before, and really that. At that time. It's completely different! ”

"Huh? So? What's different. ”

"The first time was not the same at all."

The girl's voice grew quieter and quieter.

But to be honest, it's no different, in fact, Liuli hasn't overcome the shyness of taking the first step in her heart.

Between the two, they have seen everything that should be seen, and everything that should not be touched has been touched.

But Ruri is understandably shy, after all, this is in the suburbs.

The ambiguity of private space is still different from the ambiguity of being outdoors.

This kind of thing is simply unspeakable to Liuli.

Not to mention that she also had the shadow of being frightened by Ah Ling's surprise last time.

"What does Ruri mean that I can do anything to you from today onwards?"

"When、Of course, you have to ask for my consent first!"

"It's natural, then Ruri agrees now?"

"Hmm."

The girl's voice was so weak and small that Sakakihara felt like she was much smaller than usual.

He understands it too. If Ruri agrees to this, it is equivalent to entrusting the only precious things she has to herself.

"Ruri is small and cute."

Can this be done when you are praising me?"

"Or else?"

Sakakihara smiled and gently held the small hand curled up together again, and gently covered it and wrapped it. Ruri didn't resist, just let him take his hand into his palm, and then hold it tightly.

"Hold it more, hold it a little longer."

"What's wrong?"

Nothing. I just want Lejun to hold me tighter."

"It's like a request."

"That's the request, and it's going to be the envy of July in the future."

Sakakihara couldn't help but laugh at her cute wishes, as well as that little bit of caution, "You, don't you usually eat this little vinegar?" ”

"No. If you don't take it seriously, it won't be as good as July. ”

The girl's voice was also soft, as if she was shyly begging herself to hold her hand a little tighter.

At this time, Sakakiwara really thinks that Ruri is too cute.

It would have been nice to be able to give her a little kindness in the past.

Sakakihara leke moved closer to the girl, hugged her tightly, and reached out to wrap his hand around her waist, shaking it with the small hand in front of her cotton coat. Tianhai Jiu Ruri obediently leaned on Sakakihara's side, smiling, and strolling through the snowy forest

*

"Hey~~ Brother, you just got tired and crooked with Sister Liuli as soon as you came down the mountain, do you know that Sister July is angry in the back."

"Really?"

"Of course, of course, Sister July is watching you from behind, huh~ Sister July, don't pinch my ears! Don't pluck my ears! ”

"I don't know what you're?"

"What! Sister July, aren't you just eating! I eat! I'm jealous! I'm jealous! I was wrong! ”

As soon as Sakakihara Le saw the posture of the two, he knew that it was Ah Ling, the girl, who was talking nonsense.

Does this count as sowing discord?

It's no wonder that July will twist Ah Suzu's ears.

Next on the itinerary is Hokkaido Jingu.

In order to be in a hurry, several people came here quickly by car.

"Do you think that the shrines in the country are almost the same? Ema, Gomori, and a 200 yen lottery. ”

"Uh-huh, it's true!"

Then it's not interesting here, it's just a unique snow scene.

It's worth taking pictures.

"Brother, do you want to bring two witch costumes back to the two sisters~ Then the elder brother can be at the hot spring hotel at night-huh! What are you doing beating me. ”

Sakakihara Le's serious face, "Thinking crankily every day!" ”

"What, brother, you're not looking forward to it in your heart, yuki, don't you say, yuki?"

Tianhai Snow stared at the woods in the distance: "There is a lot of snow here too. ”

Noyuki heard that there was a snow fox in the woods behind the shrine, and wanted to go over and see it.

After I went, I was disappointed. I didn't bump into it at all.

Eat some Hokkaido noodles at noon, and continue to wander around the shopping streets in the afternoon.

Compared to the characteristic cultural street. Sure enough, the commercial street is more suitable for them.

Clothes to buy and shoes to buy and buy. Sakakihara looked at their large bags and small bags, and estimated that eighty percent of them would have to be sent back to Tokyo by courier.

Going around and around, the time came for night.

It's quite interesting to go to Odori Park at night.

The park is full of ice sculptures and illuminations, as well as various snowmen, not to mention Suzu and Yuki, and Sakakihara Raku has never seen such gorgeous ice sculptures.

Ah Ling likes snow very much, and she couldn't have enough fun in the morning, but now she can.

She dragged Xue and Ruri to the snow field over there to throw snowballs.

In the morning, she was taught a lesson by July, and if it weren't for the fact that July didn't want to get her padded jacket soiled by snowballs, she would have to fight her.

Speaking of which. Now Ah Ling may not be able to beat July, right?

July has also learned kendo.

Thinking about this, Sakakihara sat down on a bench in the park with Tianhai Qimingyue, and watched a few people play happily.

Ruri and Suzu threw snowballs at each other, and Suzu accidentally smashed Yuki who was about to build five snowmen on the side, and suddenly it became two to one for Yuki and Ruri.

Ah Ling, who was smashed by a snowball, shouted, "It's not fair!" But there is nothing to be done.

Silently watching the fight of several people, the gorgeous neon and cold wind and snow of the city became their background, and the seven bright moons of the sky and sea had a sense of alienation from the world.

"Yesterday was Christmas."

After Tianhai Qi Mingyue heard the voice, she was stunned for a few seconds.

"Why, your memory is so bad?"

"It's not that I have a bad memory, it's that I always feel like something was missing yesterday."

"What?"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue turned his head, only to see Sakakihara Le take out a delicate small keychain from his trouser pocket.

The keychain landed quietly in the palm of his hand, and under the brilliant light refracted by the surrounding ice sculptures, the stone carved shark on the keychain looked small and exquisite. As long as you take a closer look, you can see that the cartoon shark above is not a simple assembly line craft, but a childlike carving master, carefully carved and outlined works.

It's very beautiful, the first time Tianhai Qimingyue saw it, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"When?"

"I ordered it very before, and I just arrived at noon today."

"It looks like a stone sculpture made of pebbles."

"Hmm. Remember the rock you kicked under my feet on our first motorcycle trip? ”

"You did it with that shouter?"

"I just mailed it a few days ago. Originally, it was going to be given to you in July on your birthday, but the master of carving stones didn't have that many schedules, so there was no way. ”

Tianhai Qimingyue held the keychain in the palm of her hand and kept staring at the cartoon shark.

This style she remembers. How can you forget?

The prototype of the keychain still exists in the storage box in her bedroom.

The shape of this little shark. It happened to be the first time the two were separated when they were children, and Sakakihara Raku casually gave Xiao Qiyue a cheap gadget.

It was that gadget that made her like it for the rest of her life.

The sky and sea seven bright moons and the azure eyes stared silently at the shark's keychain in the palm of the hand.

"Now it's a Christmas present?"

"Well, and it's your only gift in July, in terms of particularity."

"Thank you."

"It should."

"It's a very expensive gift."

Sakakihara was surprised: "In July, you still need to think about the value of the gift?" ”

"When I say precious, I don't mean the material value of the item. It's that this gift is so precious to me that I don't know what to give you in return. ”

"It's all said and this is my apology, July, this idea of yours is also very cute. And what is our relationship, do we still need to return the gift? ”

"Yes."

"Why? We are in a relationship. ”

It is precisely because they are dating, that they cannot ignore the emotional exchanges and exchanges between the two of them, gifts need to be returned, and thoughts and actions also need to be returned. Even lovers do not say that whoever accepts each other's gifts should always accept each other's gifts. For example, on Valentine's Day, if you give me a gift, I will find a way to return it to you. ”

July is serious.

It should be said that she is not joking now, most of the time she is serious in this way.

"There's no need to return the gift, can July tell me the story of Little July?" Sakakihara laughed beside the girl, "I rarely hear you say that you have gone to the past in July. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at him seriously: "Brother who has nothing to say, as long as she knows that she used to think of someone's agreement with her every night." ”

"Nightly?"

"Nightly."

To get July's answer is actually completely sufficient.

It is precisely because Little July's obsession is deep enough that July's love for himself is deep enough now.

Sitting on the bench and watching a few people happily throwing snowballs in the distance, Tianhai Qimingyue pinched the keychain in the palm of his hand and unconsciously leaned on Sakakihara Le's shoulder.

"What did my sister say to you in the morning?"

"Ruri told me that going to England was no longer necessary."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue closed his eyes on his shoulder, "Then the so-called necessity of my sister now is you, brother." ”

"Well," Sakakihara whispered, "she said that whether she went to England or not, I was by her side and the most important thing was her." ”

"Does my sister agree that you can do that kind of thing?"

"July knows?"

"My sister has let go of her mother, and my mother came to us before, and my sister didn't care too much about it later. So. It's only natural that my sister is willing to put everything on your shoulders. ”

At the same time, Sakakihara can still feel the responsibility that he will have to bear in the future.

"What about you in July?"

"Of course, it's the same."

July has already handed her all over to herself because of her love for herself, right?

Sakakihara was pleased.

Not only their love for themselves, but also a little sense of responsibility to be able to shoulder their happiness in the future.

"July."

"Hmm."

"Besides, how about liking me?"

"Like you."

"Is it so casual?"

"Because it's true, stupid."

"Do you want to have children in July?"

"What do you think?"

"I think July is definitely wanted, and for July, home is very important. And with children, you have enough to cherish in July. ”

Tianhai Qimingyue closed her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about, as for precious things. Isn't it right in front of you and around you? ”

"I knew that July was not pregnant a while ago, why did I look a little unhappy."

"Want to have children. Probably the old thoughts were at work, I always felt like I was a person, I wanted a child to love me, and I loved him enough. It doesn't matter now. ”

Sakakibara deliberately smiled, "Why?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue glanced at someone, and then reproached, "Knowingly asking." ”

"If you have a child after July, do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Boy."

"Why?"

"The girl must stick to you, and the boy will stick to me."

"Isn't a girl good? I'll be jealous if the boy sticks to you. ”

"That's great, who told you to make me jealous every day."

"No, you have to have girls."

"Boy."

"Girl."

"Boy."

"Girl."

"Boy."

"I don't fight with you in July, so how about you just give birth to a litter in July? Then everyone will be happy! ”

"Treat me like a rabbit? I want to give birth to a nest and find my sister. ”

"Then I'm going to look for Liuli alone tonight~"

"You dare."
