Layers of insect chirping are heard, blending with the silence of the night, and time passes imperceptibly.

Jiang Yuan, who had been standing and crouching, straightened his sore waist and looked up at the sky, where the white moon hung high in the blue sky.

The two searched in the paddy field for nearly 30 minutes, but they never found the "blue meat steamed bun".

It seems that the events of the festival have left traces in the hearts of both parties, and the atmosphere that envelops them has gradually reached its limit.

Just when Jiang Yuan was trying to find an excuse to let him leave first, he suddenly saw a small blue object in the middle of the green rice roots under the flashlight of his mobile phone.

He leaned over and opened the rice, and what caught his eye was the blue meat steamed bun that Kurosawa lovingly threw out.

- She really threw it away

Jiang Yuanshen's face couldn't help but show a wry smile of embarrassment, and he comforted her that she might just throw out a stone.

But from this point of view, Kurosawa is really angry.

"Uncle Ito, I found it!" He couldn't help but shout at Jun Ito, who was crouching on the ground and huddled in a ball.

"Really?"

Jun Ito stood up, his body was a clean and tidy police uniform, but it was already stained with dirt.

"Yes."

"Show me, it's such a gadget?"

"Or else?"

"I thought it was gold! At least silver! Jun Ito half-jokingly said, "Okay, now that I've found it, I'll go back quickly." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Yuanshen tiptoed from the paddy fields to the street barefoot,

When Jun Ito shook the flashlight, the rustling green continued to appear and disappear in the incandescent light, and each rice seedling shone proudly in the light.

"Oops, I haven't been in the field for a long time, I'm tired."

Jun Ito's feet were washing in the puddles of the ridges, but the water was getting more and more muddy, yellow, and not clean at all.

Jiang Yuanshen's fingers rubbed the sandpaper-like dirt on the meat steamed bun.

"Uncle Ito, can you send me home?"

"What's wrong? Don't you dare go home? Jun Ito had a funny expression on his face.

"I didn't want to talk to you! Don't make me say it, blame the shy. ”

"What can we talk about if the two of us have an age gap?" He said so, but he still put on his sandals and sat on his bicycle and said with a smile, "Come up, you must be light!" I've been using this bike for five years! ”

"Okay!"

His bike is a women's bike that can be found everywhere and looks very comfortable.

Jiang Yuanshen sat up and grabbed the small iron rod under the cushion with one hand.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the asphalt road, insects chirped everywhere, and the breath of night filled the air, like a transparent net woven into everything on Chitori Island.

"You're amazing." Jun Ito said this suddenly.

"What's so good?"

"A lot, anyway, it's much more powerful than my Huatang."

Although he didn't quite understand the true meaning of Ito Jun's words, it sounded inexplicably sad, and Jiang Yuanshen's mind came up with the pale expression he had when he stopped him at the festival.

- Awesome? What is Awesome? What do you have to do to be amazing?

Jiang Yuanshen thought that Ito Huatang still dared to talk to himself as always, perhaps, it was also some form of "powerful".

In the space where the moonlight meets the night, Jiang Yuanshen exhaled a breath mixed with exhaustion.

"Uncle Ito, when did he meet Shizumi-san?"

Jun Ito was silent for a moment, and when he spit out, he could feel his body seem to become empty.

They have known each other since childhood, the same elementary school."

"That's probably not the same as me."

There is more than one elementary school on Chitori Island, and there is one in the big ruins, which is the school that Jiang Yuan Shen and Jiang Yuan Kyoko studied together.

"If I could, I really want to go back to the old days and not let Hua Tang and the queen study in the same school."

Jun Ito's sigh was as cold as the keys.

Jiang Yuanshen's heart trembled suddenly, and he forgot to exhale when he took a breath, the bicycle became wobbly, and the streetlights on the side of the road were like flashing nodes, shining on the two of them from time to time.

It seems that I have been riding for a long time, but when I look back, the paddy field is still lonely in the field of vision,

"Why?" Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but ask.

“.” Jun Ito muttered, "I don't have as much knowledge as you kids, and even if I live for so long, I don't see as much knowledge as you." ”

"But I at least know that rice and curry are the main meal when they go together! Why don't so many people understand this truth? ”

Listening to his reproachful words, Jiang Yuanshen was very surprised, but he couldn't see his expression clearly behind him.

Jiang Yuanshen knows very well that Ito Katang's feelings for Jinghai Shenyue are completely unrequited, and the queen treats those boys as always without asking about the world, neither humble nor arrogant.

Combined with what happened to Kamizukawa Takaku, Asakura Masamune and others and the previous empress, Jun Ito, who seemed sober in comparison, wanted to avoid his children falling into it.

Jiang Yuanshen gently kneaded the blue meat steamed bun and held his breath, probably understanding his mood.

"Uncle Ito, I want to ask you something more."

"What?"

"Did Jinghai's mother suddenly disappear for a while before the earthquake? Why did I check the newspapers and the webpage and there was no news about the disappearance? ”

“.”

Jun Ito, who was riding a bicycle, widened his eyes in surprise, probably confused by Shin Emoto, who would ask this question.

Feelings of anticipation and anxiety are intertwined, hovering deep inside.

Jun Ito took a deep breath as if he was about to prevaricate this sentence.

"There is no such thing, seeing that she is at home from beginning to end, since it is something that has not happened, how can it appear in the newspaper?"

Jiang Yuanshen was silent, there was no doubt that Jun Ito in front of him was lying.

He didn't know that he had obtained the tape of Asakura Masamune, and perhaps he didn't know that there was such a thing.

There was a sudden heavy atmosphere between the two of them, and he could sense that the speed of the bicycle was much faster, and the adult seemed to want to run away.

"At that time, there were all kinds of rumors, Jiang Yuan, maybe what you heard was just one of them."

"Is that so?"

"Well, after all, you are just a child in the eyes of my uncle and me."

As far as the eye can see, the surface of Lake Kamo sparkles like a mirror.

The chain made a faint "click" sound under the vehicle, and at the end, it seemed that it was not enough.

◇

Pity Kurosawa has considered herself a genius since she was a child.

Whether it is elementary school or middle school, either 5 on the report card is excellent or A.

Born in Tokyo, unlike other children, her mother is the jewel of Tokyo's powerful family, and her father is a true genius.

The children around him are all boring, but he is different, and it is surprising that he is excellent in all aspects.

Even at family gatherings, when talking about the situation at school, Kurosawa always thinks of the teenager who kept going back and forth in various clubs like a hamster running at school.

Chatting and chatting, my mother began to get tired of the past with herself-

"Your dad grew up in Odawara, and for me, all of Odawara is him, the days and nights spent together, the days and nights spent together, the days and nights of the occasional person, the days and nights of his heart and mind, and then."

"I know, I know, Dad, he went to the station to chase you in the early hours of winter, right? You've said it several times, and I'm getting tired of it. ”

"Is there one? I thought I would speak it once, but no matter how many times you listen to it, you have to listen to me. ”

"Huh? Is the story like this? My father would always look at my mother in astonishment.

"Isn't that so? Well? Mother always raised her eyebrows faintly, and the last tone word was a naked warning.

"Yes, yes, that's the case, woo wow, it was so cold that day~~~"

Whenever his father folds his arms and confesses, Kurosawa only thinks it's incredible, he looks confident in front of others, but he looks like a child who admits his mistakes in front of his mother.

I really envy that I can spoil my mother to the point that no one can accept her character.

Outside the window of Tokyo, there is nothing but a building.

Outside the window of Zhitori Island, the blue sky, the green farmland, the moon is hidden in the clouds, and the wind lies into the girl's breath.

Kurosawa sat down in a chair, his feet stomping on the floor, his head lying down into his arms, and his mood became fragmented.

Then, as usual, I remembered the person's eyes, expression, intonation, and hair that looked messy.

"Mom, I can't hold on anymore"

"Don't cry, Kurosawa-san."

There was a gentle voice that seemed to encompass everything, and Kurosawa's loving heart quietly melted like a hot glass.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanshen, who appeared in the class at some point.

Those charming eyes must have always looked into the distance, and those eyes were always clear, the most beautiful she had ever seen.

- Maybe it's because I like him, right?

It was as if the class that had been very lively before had become empty in an instant.

"I thought you were crying." Jiang Yuanshen tilted his head slightly, keeping his gaze fixed on her.

Under the long eyelashes are the eyes that are entwined with time.

Tender white skin, gorgeous cherry lips, no matter how you look at it, you can feel the beauty of the girl swallow.

Kurosawa narrowed her eyes for a moment, and said as if awkward:

"No one deserves to make Miss Ben cry."

"Oh, you're sleeping, aren't you?" Jiang Yuanshen's gaze unconsciously went down, and he found that her fingers were gently clasping the bottom of the table.

"What's your business, and I haven't wanted to see you yet." From her cherry-colored lips, there was a fragmented thought mixed with true words, "I don't want to do it now"

"Don't say such things that are not conducive to our emotional communication."

"Who wants to communicate with you!"

"Huh? I thought we were good friends. ”

Her long, lustrous black hair drooped down the contours of her face, accentuating the whiteness of her complexion.

Kurosawa's loving eyes stared straight at him, and he said coldly, "Get out!" ”

"It's cold." Jiang Yuanshen crossed his hips with one hand and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm just stopping by." ”

"Oh roar, is it an accident?" Kurosawa folded his arms in his hands and smiled stiffly.

"I don't know, maybe it's fate."

Listening to his words as if he was about to get away with it, Kurosawa crossed his legs and pursed his lips gently: "Hmph." ”

Caught off guard, Jiang Yuanshen took out the blue meat steamed buns that she had thrown away earlier.

"Can you not throw it away in the future? I've been looking for a long time. ”

Kurosawa looked at the small toy in his palm lovingly, his throat fluttering slightly unconsciously, and his little face was undisguised with consternation.

She raised her head to look at Jiang Yuanshen's face, he was smiling, as if to say, "Did you say anything?"

Kurosawa took a deep breath, her round breasts erected slightly, and her long black hair swayed with it.

At that moment, Jiang Yuanshen always felt a sweet smell, which almost made his brain dizzy.

A teasing voice came from Kurosawa's loving little cherry mouth:

"Hehe, think I'm so easy to deceive? Buying a new one makes me happy? You're really lazy. ”

"New? Are you stupid what are you kidding? I don't know how long this thing has been soaking in the paddy field! I washed it all night and it was almost fading, and you told me it was newly bought? ”

“.” Kurosawa finally came back to her senses, her cheeks burning as hot, "Anyway, I don't believe you have this heart"

"Eh~! You see it now. Jiang Yuan cautiously put the small toy on the table, pointed to the marks on it, and said, "There are still your finger marks on it." ”

Kurosawa's loving body leaned forward, his gaze fixed on the finger marks on it.

Gradually, her eyes wandered, and her face turned red like a boiled octopus, which was real.

"Forget it, I'll reluctantly believe you this time."

Jiang Yuanshen looked at Kurosawa in front of him, who even had red ears, and pretended to be pitiful and said: "It took me more than six hours to find it, don't throw it away again, it's terrible at night." ”

"It's my stuff, I can do whatever I want."

Kurosawa prefers to pinch the small toy directly in the palm of his hand, and a sensuality called "softness" emerges in his heart.

"And I don't want to throw it away, there is a reason for it, you yourself made me angry."

It's obviously a small toy, and the cold and quiet outline of the palm of the hand exudes a burst of warmth.

Her complaining tone looked childish, and Jiang Yuanshen couldn't hold back a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, then I'll go first, come on in the middle of the term." ”

"Oh"

As soon as Jiang Yuanshen walked on his front foot, the girls in the same class on the side came up.

"Kurosawa-san, Jiang Yuan-san, what did he give you?"

"Wow? I thought it was something, but it was just a small toy. ”

"I have one too, but it's not like this, this one is too old"

The whispers in her ears were actively shielded by Kurosawa's pity, as if she had picked up something in the dark in the palm of her hand, exploring its true face-

"It doesn't matter, whether it's bad, new, weird, as long as you still have a mind, you don't care about anything."

◇

As soon as Shinnachi Egen, he walked out of Kurosawa's loving class, and as if it was scheduled, he saw Shizumi Fukatsuki standing on the side.

As usual, she was incredibly beautiful, and she attracted the eyes of too many people.

"Did you say that you came?"

"I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

Jinghai Shenyue said calmly, ruffling the long hair on her shoulders.

"Kurosawa's words, I guess you have to talk about it yourself."

"I've guessed it, but to get down to business, there's a guy in the Broadcasting Department, and you may be familiar with it."

"Me?"

"Shake the apricot in the air."

"As far as I know, her only relative has recently been out to sea."

"It's her friend Naoko Takimitsu, and her father works in the broadcasting department."

Jinghai Shenyue's expression was a little bitter, and Jiang Yuanshen didn't understand what it meant at that moment.
