Chapter Twenty-Five: Lies

"Coming back?" Shi Qi smiled and looked at the snow on the mountain outside the door.

The snow opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just responded: "Hmm." ”

Under the scorching heat of the afternoon, Shi Qi felt a coldness. It's not the cold attitude of the snow on the mountain, but a wonderful cold.

Gently closing the door, Shi Qi asked, "Xue, did something happen just now?" ”

Her face twitched imperceptibly suddenly, but then she showed the same smile as usual and walked to Shi Qi's side: "No." ”

Shi Qi was silent for a moment, hugging the mountain and falling into the snow: "I won't go today." ”

"Why didn't you go?"

"You're sick, I'm going to take care of you."

For some reason, Shi Qi had a sense of familiarity with the behavior of the snow falling on the mountain, an extremely terrifying familiarity.

"Yes...... "Snowy eyes lost focus: "I'm sick......"

"It seems to be a disease that I am familiar with." Shi Qi said: "But everyone who is sick is like an ant on the snow-white earth, aimless, ready to perish at any time. ”

"But Shi Qi, why am I sick? I'm healthy and haven't been very tired lately. ”

"Do you already know?" Shi Qi said as he closed the window: "You should be tired, but do you already know?" ”

"What do I know...... I know. "The snow on the mountain is doubtful for a while, and transparent for a while.

"yes, I'm sorry." Shi Qi saw the confusion and doubt in the eyes of the snow under the mountain.

Unease was now haunting her.

In the past, no one could save him, and in the midst of uneasiness he saved him with strong evidence, now, Shi Qi can save her.

"I'm not leaving. I won't lie to you anymore. I won't let anyone lie to you anymore, even if they want to protect you. Shi Qi stared at the snow on the mountain and smiled reassuringly.

The snow also looked at Shi Qi: "If I don't know, when are you going to let me know?" ”

Shi Qi scratched his head, and then said, "Don't prepare for any time." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... To be honest, I don't want to tell you from a didactic point of view, Snow, I just want to say, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this. Shi Qi sincerely apologized.

"Shi Qi, don't you want to ask me how I know?"

"Yes, but that's enough for now. That's enough, you just need to know. ”

Aimless dialogue, whimsical, incompatible, with no logic at all, no subject, just so that they can understand and realize for themselves that the other person is also a patient.

They had never been as close to each other as they were now, and the snow on the mountain and the slight estrangement on Shi Qi's body had also been worn away at this moment.

But the more it melted, the clearer it became for Shi Qi to know that the snow on the mountain would lead to destruction. It should be said that there should be no living person who knows better than him.

He hadn't quite remembered who he was, but he had a vague sense of himself.

In the following hour, Shi Qi explained his situation to the arriving Shikigami and said that he wanted to take a few days off, and after Shikigami left, Shiki closed the door.

The snow on the mountain is not like a different person, she is the same as her previous self, but now she has more of herself.

After a while, she felt strange again, and after a while, she began to sew something slowly and leisurely, and after a while, she began to chat with Shi Qi again.

In the following days, the snow on the mountain kept repeating this behavior.

There are traces to follow, and it is by no means capricious, but it is impossible to understand the sudden and backward logic.

On this day, the sun was shining.

The mountain snow squatted at the door, it was quiet, very quiet.

She looked at the tree outside the door, since the seventh hour came here, this tree has never been pruned, just let it grow, lush and green, every noon, can cover the sky.

Shi Qi moved two small chairs from nowhere and placed them under the snow on the mountain, and also under himself.

He watched the tree quietly with her.

The two guys are really quiet and quiet.

Pedestrians are also quiet...... Maybe not quiet, but in their world, there is only quiet each other.

The world suddenly became very small and small, and only the dense heartbeat sound was accommodated, until a voice stretched out its lips and tongue, and came out of nothing: "Shi Qi, I'm going to commit suicide, okay?" ”

"Do you think so?" Shi Qi tilted his head and asked her with a smile.

The sound of the heartbeat is getting closer and closer.

Shan Xiaxue looked at Shi Qi's face and frowned: "I don't think it's good, why do I think like this?" ”

"Would you think so...... I do not know. Shi Qi hesitated for a moment, and didn't say the answer in his heart, he just smiled: "Xue, do you think I should know?" ”

I don't know when the wind, I don't know when the light stopped, stuck in the present time.

"Shi Qi, you and I will be together forever." The snow didn't answer Shi Qi's question, she just expressed it in a different way.

Today's sunshine is good.

So, let's prune the trees.

Don't make it too thin, as this won't block the sun.

Don't leave it too thick, as then the droplets will stay on the leaves.

Shi Qi leaned on the chair, trimmed the dense branches and leaves, and gently calmed his unsettled heart.

Because of bad luck, the mountain snow is in an extremely poor mental state now.

The branches and leaves fell to the ground.

Shi Qi left the snow at home. Because the snow fell on the mountain and said, "I'm all right." ”

Shi Qi knew that she was not good.

But her condition seems to be getting worse, and it's not just a symptom of the previous Shi Qi.

"I'll take you to Yakumo-sama!" Shi Qi had persuaded her several times, but she resolutely refused to go out.

It used to be very cheerful and snowy on the mountain, but now I haven't even left my house, and I have cut off all social interactions.

Do you want to blame the Son of God for everything? Shi Qi also looked for her, but after learning the whole story, he only felt that it was his own problem.

Or was it Shi Qi's fault in the first place?

Shi Qi laughed cruelly at himself and rolled back home.

A sense of powerlessness.

He wants Yakumo Purple to help him seal the memories and personality of Yamashita Yuki, so that Yamashitsu will return to normal.

But he didn't want to lie to her anymore.

Shi Qi accompanied the snow on the mountain, and at the same time wanted to find a solution.

He thought that no matter what he said, he would give that bouquet of flowers to the mountain snow, and then officially break away from the matter of the wind and the fragrance, and have been accompanying the mountain to the snow for the rest of her life.

So Shi Qi went out.

"Shi Qi, where are you going?" In the past few days, Shi Qi will go out, and the mountain snow that does not go out will ask him this question every time.

"Ah, I'm going to Yakumo-sama." Shi Qi said hello and slowly closed the door.

He's going to Kazami Yuka, and today is the time to get ready to accept his learning, and he's going to deliver the best gift to the hands of the mountain snow.

He was afraid of stimulating the snow on the mountain, so he didn't say that he went to Kazami Yuka.

So this is, of course, a lie.
