[In addition to herself, in a small area illuminated by a lamp, there is also a brightly colored oil painting, which is a map of Moyouzhong that you gave her. The girl's white elbows rested on the table, and her slender fingers supported her chin, looking at the painting. 】

[The night is silent, only the sound of the wind and waves comes into the ears, enters the painting, the girl recalls the scene in the painting, and the hot summer day in her memory, blowing a moist wind, becomes comfortable. 】

She smiled, and the smile quickly faded back into her lips. 】

[She carefully wraps the canvas and puts it back in the cabinet.] Closing the cabinet door and opening the drawer, she pulled out her diary. 】

[The beige paper of the notebook flips on the girl's white fingertips.] 】

The words on the page appeared in front of Nan Yuxi's eyes, and the girl's movements to turn the page were so fast that Nan Yuki couldn't read the whole article, and could only see a few words.

The notebooks are very thick, each diary is very short, and the font and the color of the pen and ink of the recorded text have changed significantly.

「…… I have to take a boat to go to school, and the boat fare is so expensive, but fortunately, the monthly subscription is cheaper. The sea is beautiful, but as my brother said, there is no change, and I get tired of seeing it soon."

「…… The cherry trees on the island are a little different from those in Misaki, they are smaller and the cherry blossoms are lighter in color. Walking in such a cherry blossom forest is a little fresh. My brother has never painted cherry blossom trees, why is that?"

「…… The sun was so strong that I didn't need to wear sunscreen when I went out, and when I woke up, my face and neck were red. It's okay to spend an afternoon in my brother's yard."

「…… I made a friend.,It's called Rinka.,It's a girl on the same island.,I don't know housework or cooking.,I don't show much expression.,It's a bit like Aunt Yuko, who my brother likes.,Hmph."

「…… I saw the lion drawn by my brother in the news, and I heard Rin Hua say that there was a golden retriever dog at my grandmother's house next to the school, and when I looked at it, it didn't look like a lion at all."

「…… There was a cat barking at night, and asked my mother why, but my mother didn't tell me, and went to ask Rinka, who knew a lot, and she said that when the cat was lonely, she wanted other cats to comfort it, and my brother would also need other cats to comfort him?"

「…… Mom asked which high school she would attend, and she chose the one with a sailor uniform. In the photo album in my brother's room, Aunt Yuko and Aunt Reina are wearing sailor suits."

「…… was confessed and rejected him directly. He hadn't even seen his brother's paintings, so he shouldn't be friends with such people."

「…… I joined the art department, the art department of this school is so weak, I am actually the best, maybe I should have chosen another school in the first place."

「…… Overheard the conversation between mom and dad, my brother was injured in South America, why did that chaotic country appear in this world."

「…… I tried to borrow money from Rinka, and Rinka agreed, but she only had two thousand, which was not enough. The plane ticket to South America alone is very expensive, and I don't know which hospital my brother is staying in."

「…… I punched myself in the stomach on the boat, closed my eyes when I stepped on the concrete floor of the dock, and tried to appreciate what it was like for my injured brother to get off the plane and step back to his homeland, but I didn't feel anything special."

「…… Mom and Dad have been busy lately, has my brother eaten properly?"

「…… Suddenly, I received a call from my mother, saying that a relative was coming back and was staying at my house. My mother is so troublesome, I don't want to take care of anyone other than my brother."

「…… I asked my mother about the situation again, and my mother just didn't say who the person who was coming, and she didn't even say whether it was a man or a woman, but it shouldn't be a man. When the other party comes, show her her brother's painting, praise her for less than three minutes, and leave her alone."

The pages of the diary turned to the blank space, Mo You's hand stopped, she picked up the pen on the side, unscrewed the cap, and the tip of the pen glowed golden in the light, pressing against the beige of the page.

"August 27th, Earth Day, Cloudy"

Writing the date on the first line of the notebook, Moyu shifted the tip of her pen to the second line, and her movements stopped.

"Damn mother, it's actually what comes."

She felt that such words did not represent her feelings, so she crossed out the line and rewrote it at the end.

"I saw an unexpected person on the dock, and I was supposed to meet him immediately, but I was so surprised that I didn't know what to do, so I could only pretend to be kicking stones, but in fact, I was there."

She stopped, and crossed out the line again.

Writing and scratching like this, half of the paper is her waste manuscript.

She paused for a long time, turned her head, turned her ears in the direction of the door, and listened to the sound of the wind and waves outside the house, she wanted to hear the voice of the man who haunted her through the gap in the wind and waves, but she could not hear it.

Turning her back, she scribbled a short line on the page.

"My brother is here."

Looking at this simple short line, she smiled. You don't need any other words, just one sentence, and that's enough.

Closing the notebook and putting it back in the drawer, the girl turned off the lamp, walked to the bed in the dark, and got into the quilt.

Good night, brother.

She closed her eyes.

[In this diary, there are no straightforward statements about missing you, but between the lines, they can't do without you. 】

[The girl is not cold, at first, she is surprised and delighted and unable to react, so she uses the disguise of facing her parents, she pretends to be calm, and then, when she sees that you are not enthusiastic, she is embarrassed to treat you warmly. In the middle, there is also a little resentment of her. 】

[The rain clouds dispersed in the second half of the night, and you didn't fall asleep until late.] 】

When you wake up, the sun has illuminated the room. 】

[You sit up, your legs hanging down to the floor, and you startle when your gaze sweeps over the door.] 】

[On the wooden chair behind the door, the girl Moyou is sitting on her lap, staring at you with a pair of eyes reflecting the bright sunlight, without any expression on her face. 】

[The girl didn't mean to explain, she stood up, pushed open the paper sliding door, and told you that breakfast was ready.] 】

[You can't guess the girl's mood, follow her to the front hall.] 】

[Except for the bed in the bedroom and the necessary appliances, everything in this house is classic, the dining table is a long low table, and you have to sit on the cushions to eat. 】

[The girl brought you toiletries first, and when you finished washing in the yard, the hot breakfast was placed on the low table. 】

[While you eat, she sits across from you and stares at you. 】

[Mo You's gaze makes you confused, you don't know what's wrong, this girl who used to be extraordinarily gentle and extremely close to you is so cold at the moment, she stares at you, and shows a little resentment. 】

[After eating breakfast in the eyes of the girl, you have a guess. 】

A short scene of dialogue appears in Minami Yuki's mind.

"I'll move out when I find a place to rent." Nan Yuki put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to the girl in front of her.

"Don't move." The girl pressed her hands on the table and kept her face open.

"But, Moxia doesn't welcome me, does she?" Minami Yuki figured out the girl's attitude.

Hearing the name "Moxia", the girl's face was stunned, the water in her eyes swirled, and her cheeks bulged.

She said angrily, "Please reflect on yourself!" ”

Minami Yuki stood up, walked around the table, and sat down beside the girl.

The girl who had only reached his chest before, now the black hair was up to his neck, and he reached out and pressed it on the girl's head.

"Long time no see, Moyu."

As these words fell, the dissatisfaction and coldness on the girl's face quickly melted like thin ice exposed in the midday sun, and her body rushed forward and hugged Nan Yuxi's waist.

"Long time no see, Yuki." The girl pressed her cheek to Minami Yuki's chest, and she smiled as she listened to the familiar sound of her heartbeat.

"It's not Yuki, it's Yuki's brother, no, it's Uncle Yuki." Yuki Minami corrected her title.

"Yuki is not qualified to be an older brother now." The girl said coquettishly.

"Huh? What did I do? Why is my brother disqualified? ”

"How can any brother misremember his sister's name!"

"Because Moyou is too cold, I'll try your reaction first."

"That's because brother...... Because Yuki is cold, he doesn't touch my head or hug me when he sees me, and he doesn't even call me by name, as if he forgot me. ”

"Well, that's my fault."

"If you admit your mistake, you won't change your name back!"

"Anyway, my brother is also the wrong name, and it's okay to call Yuxi."

"How could it be."

Mo Yu's last words were said very softly, and Nan Yuki didn't hear them. He stroked the girl's hair, although the girl in his arms had grown into a girl, which was very different from before, but after holding Mo You in his arms, the feeling that was sealed in his heart poured out of his heart again.

In the nearly three years of intimacy in Mizaki, across time, across memory, cast into reality, the hair of the girl in Minami Yuki's arms is also cast into the heartbeat of the man in Moyu's arms.

Time is like glass, stopped between people, and it seems that there is no change between the two, but in fact they have been tightly separated. This passage of words and this hug shattered the glass wall between Nan Yuki and Mo You, and their relationship returned to the past.

"You've grown up." Nan Yuki rested his chin on the top of the girl's head, if it was the former Moyu, he couldn't put his head so easily.

"Yuki H."

“……？”

Nan Yuxi was stunned for a while, felt the softness in front of him, and couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm talking about your height!" ”

"Height should be said when we meet, Yuki really can't speak."

"It's you girl who has a problem with her thinking."

Nan Yuki straightened up and knocked the girl's skull.

"It hurts. I'm just kidding! Mo You covered her head and left from Nan Yuxi's chest, she looked at Nan Yuki dissatisfied: "Obviously Yuki can deliberately call me by the wrong name!" ”

"Don't make adult jokes."

"I'm already an adult!"

"Let's wait until you're the size of your sister Nao."

"Ahh You must not be talking about growing up! Scoundrel! I didn't wrong you at all! ”

"Like you said, you're already a big girl." Nan Yuki put his hand on Mo You's hand covering his head, "Pay attention to the distance from adult men." ”

"Yuki, who needs my care, is not qualified to educate me!"

Slapping Nan Yuxi's hand away, Mo You pulled down her eyelids with her hand, stuck out her tongue, and made a grimace at him.

[You think, if Moyou is not separated from you, it can only be that the girl is making trouble. 】

[You think from the perspective of a girl's heart, you realize your mistake, you make a temptation, and the truth is just as you guessed. 】

[You laugh at yourself, after so many years of single life, you have forgotten what you are best at. 】

[Under your remedy, the maiden turned back into a girl, she hugged your waist, got close to you, and complained to you. 】

[The only thing you are a little distressed about is that the girl began to call you by your name, you are obviously the same generation as Sha Gui, you were obviously an elder brother a few years ago, but now you have become an existence at the same level as Mo You. 】

[You think, maybe this is not bad, you can leave behind the identity of your brother who needs to be taken care of by Moyu and become a reliable Yuki. 】

[This self-confidence lasted for a long time, and at noon, you went into the kitchen to help the girl prepare lunch. You learned to track prey and place traps in the African savannah, and you learned ice fishing and polar cooking in Antarctica...... But all this is useless in this modern kitchen, you can't even peel a potato. 】

[Moyou kicked you out of the kitchen, you sat under the verandah, looked at the courtyard in the sun, and lamented that heroes were useless. 】

[In the afternoon, Moyou asked you about your itinerary in Songjima, which is very small, with only about 100 households, no beautiful beaches, no steep cliffs, and no special ecology. It's an extremely ordinary island. 】

[You tell her that you are here to understand nature, relax your mind and body, and improve the realm of art.] 】

[She understands, you have nothing to do. 】

[In the face of her doubts, you can't refute it.] 】

[She thinks for a while and invites you to take a walk around this small island.] You promised her. 】

You have no interest in this small island, you have been to many islands, and you are tired of seeing all the islands. You only agreed to it so as not to disagree with the girl's kindness. 】

At first, this island feels just as you imagined, but after more than ten minutes, after you withdraw your attention from the scenery and divide it into a part of the girl next to you, you have a new feeling. 】

[The original ordinary scenery, because of the girl's embellishment, gave birth to a different feeling. 】

[Mo You does not take you to the scenic places that the islanders are trying to find, but takes you to the places she often walks and shows you the interesting places she has discovered herself. 】

[Her cheerful voice when she explained, and her eyes that looked forward to the streamer, all turned into a part of the scenery. 】

[You think of the rumors of Velas, who has a broken arm, and you think that these ordinary scenery are just right, but if the scenery is too beautiful, it will suppress the beauty of the girl. 】

[When you came back, you met an old lady who returned from sea fishing, and the old lady gave a fish to Moyou, looked at you carefully, and asked you who you were. 】

[Moyu's answer bothered you a little. 】
