In the car, Mao Ryumi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Takuya Aramura, who was standing at the door and watching Risa Taneda leave, slowly closed her eyes, her hands clenched into fists, and she couldn't stop trembling...

"Miss..."Mutsu Aoi Aki in the main driver's seat looked worried, "Are you alright?" ”

"Whew..."Mao Mi Leng Quan leaned weakly on the back of the seat, and said in a tone that revealed tiredness everywhere, "I'm fine... It's just that there are too many jobs during the day... A little tired..."

She has been busy today, there are a lot of things in the new company that she needs to deal with personally, and she is not at ease about handing them over to others, plus the company's first animation is about to start production, which makes the already piled up of documents in her office even higher.

It was so busy until more than ten o'clock, the company's employees had already left work, she took a break from work, and as soon as she came out of the office, she remembered that Takuya Aramura had said that he was not feeling well this morning, so she called Michitsu Aoi Autumn and hurried here.

As soon as she entered the intersection, less than two hundred meters away from Aramura's house, she saw Takuya Aramura and Risa Taneda standing together talking something.

Then she asked Mutsu Aoi to stop the car, hide in the darkness and observe, and witness it all with her own eyes...

During this period, she felt a depressed breath in her chest several times, swirling in it, tightly strangling her internal organs, making her breathless...

But so what?

Although she has never been in love, she has always been scornful of those who love love.

But she understands that possessiveness without identity is the most ridiculous and pathetic.

Under the influence of the family for more than ten years, she has always believed that "excellent people should be with excellent people", and she was too precocious before college to be full of disdain for those classmates who were a little naïve in their words and deeds all day long.

These are not the people you're looking for...

On April 20, 2011, it was a comfortable spring, and it was also the day she joined Beijing University as a full student, and she clearly remembered the smiling, elegant and temperamental young man standing behind the podium at the entrance ceremony...

After returning home, she rarely asked her brother to ask him to help check the man's information.

lived up to expectations, this man's information was easy to check, and that night she got a whole stack of information from her brother's hand, which was very comprehensive, so comprehensive that she collected almost all the information about him.

Takuya Aramura, a native of Nagano Prefecture, runs a kendo gym at home, his father is a swordsman with a certificate of exemption from all passes, and his mother is a housewife, he has been the kind of person who has excellent character and learning since he was a child, and he is still the same after entering Kyoto University, and he is still able to maintain a high level of academic performance after entering the student union...

Isn't this the "excellent person" she is looking for?

So, since then, she began to approach him intentionally or unintentionally, joining the student union that she originally disdained to attend, creating all kinds of "unexpected encounters" like an ordinary little girl who was just starting to fall in love, and asking him all kinds of knowledge points that she already knew...

Slowly, she looked back.

I seem to have fallen completely into it at some point...

From the beginning of "I just want to find someone who is equally good to be with, it doesn't matter what the relationship is", to the inexplicable satisfaction after casually glancing at him and finding him by his side...

Would he like someone like me? After all, my personality is really unpleasant, and a gentle person like him should prefer someone with the same personality as him...

She always thought that she was precocious, but at this moment she clearly understood that she was a late maturing...

She broke the habit she had insisted on for more than ten years, and she was still thinking about it when three or four hours had passed since she planned to go to bed...

Taking the initiative to carry out bridal training that she had never considered, learning skills that she thought were useless since she was a child, bowing her arrogant head in front of a teacher whose status is not known how many times lower than her...

All this is just for the man who is weak and can't help the wind, and it looks like he can be blown down by a gust of wind... For the man who haunted her and kept her awake at night...

It's ridiculous...

The eldest lady of the dignified Cold Spring family would actually do this for a man...

But the girl Huaichun, this thing can bulldoze anything on the spot...

Time passes like this, minute by minute, and there is always a trace of hazy and beautiful belonging to the first love in the process, and the sweetness is mixed with a little sourness...

Finally, when it came to the moment when he graduated, she stood in front of him holding his graduation certificate, who had been breathing herself all night.

Confession... How should I say that?

Just as she was struggling, he spoke.

"Cold Spring, I want to go to Tokyo to have a look, there may be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, please take care."

The speaking style is still so familiar, the tone is gentle, but everywhere it reveals alienation...

This sentence was like a sledgehammer, smashing heavily on her heart, and she, who was called "the woman at the top of the iceberg" by her classmates, began to panic for the first time.

She wanted to say something, she wanted to keep this person and stay with her, and she didn't need to be close, it would be nice to be in the same city and see each other once in a while.

"Cold Spring, you are better than me, my character is too weak, and I will never be able to be the leader... Kyoto University is really a very beautiful university... I love it, and I'm sure you do too, so I've given you the position of student council president to be a calm person, so please protect it, okay? ”

His voice is very special, graceful and luxurious, lazy and tired, very different from his own personality, but it is very good.

The praise and recognition of the seniors... Sounds really good... But is this what she wants?

Not...

In the end, the words she held back were stuck in her throat and she didn't say anything, and he also got on the train back to Nagano with his suitcase and a group of classmates saying goodbye.

She didn't go, she had her own pride, she didn't want to lose the last bit of dignity she had as the eldest daughter of the head of the Cold Spring family, and she didn't want him to see her crying, it was too embarrassing...

On the day he left, she seemed to have done nothing, like a monk who had already settled down, kneeling at home, looking at the fallen leaves fluttering around the window, for a long, long time...

It had been a few days before she had come to terms with the fact that he was gone, but then a few more questions swirled in her mind.

When he sits on the train, will he miss the past three years as much as he does? Will you find that there is one person missing from the send-off procession? Will you regret it and then change your mind and return to yourself?

It doesn't matter, she can wait.

About another month passed like this, and Mutsu Aoi brought her new news.

His parents died unexpectedly...

In an instant, her mind went blank, and in a panic, she accidentally broke one of her favorite teacups.

This... How so...
