Jing Hai Yaren's words were like a dessert stained with poison, making Jiang Yuanshen's face and throat heat as if he had been burned by fire.

His fingers seemed to pierce Jiang Yuanshen's chest, and then, clenching his vigorous heart.

The quiet atmosphere wafted through the café, so quiet that you could hear the small spoon at the next table tapping on the cup, and the slight sound of tapping on the keyboard of the laptop.

Jiang Yuan deliberately let his eyes fall on the cup, he didn't have the courage to respond to this dangerous speech from the front.

If it really works, I'm afraid my life will change because of it.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was sweating all over my body and my breathing had become disordered.

After a sip of a warm latte, the mood gradually calmed down.

The Jinghai Yaren in front of him was just smiling faintly, seeing his expression, Jiang Yuanshen faintly had an intuition-

Masato Jinghai wants to expand the "price" of Shizumi Deep Moon Island indefinitely, completely killing her willingness to leave the island.

The "price" of going back to the past is extremely heavy, let alone five years ago.

I see, that's why he found himself today.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but curse this well-dressed beast in his heart, his hypocritical smile was as cold as a poisonous snake, and his eyes flashed with blue flames under the faint light in the café.

"You care too much about me." For the first time, Jiang Yuanshen clearly expressed displeasure.

Jing Hai Yaren looked at him with a provocative look: "It's strange you, right?" Hurry up and decide, no matter how you do, you know that you can't keep running away. ”

Jiang Yuanshen gave a defiant look back for a moment, but only for a moment, he regained his former calm expression.

"I don't want to discuss this topic with you."

Jing Hai Yaren crossed Erlang's legs harshly, and said with the intention of mastering:

"Have you figured it out? If you twist and pinch, she really runs away from Chitori Island, and you will never have a chance to meet your sister again in your life. ”

Jiang Yuan took a short breath cautiously, and in the small vase on the table was placed the chrysanthemum with a tender color, but with the constant talk of Jinghai Yaren, the chrysanthemum with a fresh fragrance seemed to have barbs, which was disgusting.

At this time, the music in the café flowed out-

It's "Joséland's Lullaby," a sound that only a master can play, and it sounds like a perfect CD.

Jiang Yuanshen leaned back on the soft sofa, silently lowered his head and played with a game of interlaced fingers, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.

- Since that day, I have been mentally prepared to be really helpless.

New Year's Day, birthdays, long holidays, Obon, Christmas, travel, New Year's and so on have to be spent alone.

If you have a cold and fever, no one will buy porridge and fruit for you, and no one will ask if you are uncomfortable while handing out water.

I didn't bring an umbrella to deal with it in the rainstorm, I had to run home to get it if I lost something, I didn't dare to go far if I had a pet, and I was declared terminally ill by a doctor and had no relatives to say, so I lived my life like this.

But that's fine, if there is another earthquake, you only need to run for your life, and you don't have to worry about your loved ones who are left behind.

Helpless, that's what it is.

Although I lament my worst misfortune in my heart, everyone walks on the road without any road signs, and there is no way to talk about misfortune.

Jiang Yuanshen's heart rippled, causing him to be a little out of breath.

- I want to remember what I should remember, forget what I should forget, change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed.

- That's enough.

"Why don't you say it to yourself?"

Jiang Yuan tried his best to speak in a steady tone, but when he thought that he had rejected Jiang Yuan Kyoko in his heart, he couldn't control a trembling moan from the depths of his throat, and he had no strength.

Masato Jinghai straightened his back and looked at him with concerned eyes, his calm attitude and serious expression did not show any signs of deception.

"That's because I understand that you need it more, and you have to understand that you are actually not qualified to talk to me, in my eyes you are just a teenager, I came to talk to you in the hope that you can persuade Shenyue more."

- What do I need more?

Jiang Yuanshen remembered the vermilion sun that day, and Jinghai Shenyue said to him, "The people on Zhitori Island are extremely selfish, even me."

"Why don't you want Jinghai-san to leave so much? Was it because you were too timid to keep her mother? So you want to take revenge on Jinghai-san as a substitute? ”

Jiang Yuanshen sketched a smile in the depths of his eyes, flashing with a chilling cold look.

The words were like thorns suddenly popping out of the grass, making Masato Shizumi's face twitch as if she had been pricked.

"Where did you hear that? Azusagawa? Or is it towards the sky? Jinghai Yaren immediately raised his head and asked in a strong tone.

"It doesn't matter who you listen to"

Jiang Yuanshen got up and drank the coffee in one gulp, and a bitter feeling gradually spread in his mouth.

"Mayor Jinghai, you are so pitiful, the two queens don't want to have anything to do with you, what is wrong?"

“.”

Masato Shizumi spat and then his whole body stiffened, and the hand holding the spoon suddenly clenched harder.

His face was mixed with burning shame and icy madness.

When Jiang Yuanshen left the café, Jinghai Yaren raised his hand to hold his forehead, greedily inhaling oxygen, his whole body was breathing violently, frowning, and biting his nails anxiously.

◇

Walking out of the café, Jiang Yuanshen's breathing was slightly easier.

The sky was dyed honey-colored, and the trees on the street began to be rendered, and the arcs drawn by the white seagulls passing over Chitori Island were visible.

There are several routes to get home from here, but the best way is to go back along the lakeside streets of Lake Kamo, but today I am not in the mood.

"You'll never get a chance to see your sister again in your life."

The heavy words almost punctured a hole in his lungs, and every time he was depressed, Jiang Yuanshen would choose to walk around the outside and go home.

I walked along the edge of Lake Kamo for a long time and came to a park.

Looking at the lake that still sparkles in the afterglow of the setting sun, the sound of gurgling water quietly blends into the noise of the wind blowing leaves, and the sunset in the distance falls happily.

Jiang Yuanshen found out that this was the park where Jinghai Shenyue jumped into Kamo Lake that night.

It's just that there are no flowers blooming on the lake at this time, only maple leaves that drift with the waves.

"What are you doing here?"

Someone called him, Jiang Yuanshen raised his head, it was Jinghai Shenyue.

The girl stood up straight, she was still wearing a white sailor suit, and her whole body exuded an atmosphere as harmonious as the beautiful four seasons.

He opened his mouth slightly, revealing an expression of "ah~", unable to say anything.

Jinghai Shenyue didn't continue to complain about this, but just brushed the bangs on his forehead with his fingers, turned to face Kamo Lake, and covered the skirt that covered his hips with both hands.

Jiang Yuan knew that she was going to sit down, even if there were still many vacant seats, but he still took the initiative to move the space to the side.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

The elementary school students in the park next door were cheering that they had finally been able to catch the horizontal bar.

Perhaps thinking it was strange to throw the question back, the corners of Jinghai Shenyue's mouth twitched, but she still replied:

"Probably like you, I'm here to change my mood." She sat on his right-hand side.

"Really? Do you also have a habit of walking blindly when you are in a bad mood? Jiang Yuanshen asked curiously.

Jinghai Shenyue laughed disappreciatively, lowered her eyes and said, "Don't go, I'm more used to sitting." ”

"How is this? There's really nothing to talk about. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You should say that I have this habit too, and then I will say excitedly that I am too, and then I will tell you where I will go, whether I like to walk alone on small roads or big roads, whether I like to walk on concrete roads or dirt roads, whether I like to walk fast or slowly."

Listening to Jiang Yuanshen talk about his interests, Jinghai Shenyue cast a helpless gaze.

"Why should I understand? And my physical strength is already poor. ”

"So, there's really nothing to talk about."

"So, why are you here? Is it already over? ”

As if in order to give a fatal blow to the helpless Jiang Yuanshen, Jinghai Shenyue's face leaned in slightly, as if she smelled the sweet fruit-like aroma.

As for Jiang Yuanshen, he was frozen in place by her sudden questioning.

The girl was watching him carefully, her clear eyes seemed to be the same as those of Lake Kamo, with a little maple floating on them, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Sitting on the same chair with Jinghai Shenyue, for some reason, Jiang Yuanshen had an incredible feeling, itchy and embarrassed.

"I'm done talking to him—"

By the time he came back to his senses, he had already accidentally spoken out.

Realizing that he had lost his mind, Jiang Yuanshen felt that his appearance was too ugly and embarrassing.

However, Jinghai Shenyue didn't think much about his thoughts, just stared at him quietly like a beautiful flower planted in a flower garden.

"What do you say?"

Her words were too straightforward, which made Jiang Yuanshen a little confused.

"You know it all?"

"Well, he took the initiative to tell me that he was coming to you today." Jinghai Shenyue sat upright against the lake, leaving him with a delicate side face.

"His heart is so big?"

"I don't know, but he made a gesture of imperativeness." Jinghai Shenyue frowned slightly and said, "Even if you take the initiative to tell me that you won't stop me, am I missing something?" ”

Her gaze hung down to the ground, making it impossible for Jiang Yuanshen to get a glimpse of her expression, and her head, interlocked slender fingers, and shoulders did not move.

What's missing?

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't answer for a while.

"Can you tell me what you talked about?" Jinghai Shenyue changed her cold voice, and there was a slight plea in her delicate tone.

Maybe she was suspected of taking advantage of the girl's gentleness and loveliness, but Jiang Yuanshen didn't hide it and responded completely.

He subconsciously ruffled his hair, as if to pull the memories out of his mind and spread them out in front of her one by one.

Jinghai Shenyue, who was sitting in place, listened carefully to Jiang Yuanshen's words, but in the process, she kept looking at the lake, her eyes did not ease in the slightest, and her tight mouth never opened or closed.

"That's all."

Jiang Yuan cautiously said everything he said to Jinghai Yaren, to be honest, it was a very painful thing, and it would make his mood sink all the way.

Jinghai Shenyue's right skirt was deeply wrinkled by her, but the side face left for Jiang Yuanshen was still neat and beautiful, and there were no waves.

When a gust of wind blows, the light that falls from between the branches and leaves will scurry around the line of sight with impunity.

"I want to throw up." The girl calmly opened her pink cherry lips.

Jiang Yuan thought he had misheard.

"What?"

"I want to throw up."

"Are you kidding?"

"It's disgusting, I want to vomit when I hear it."

"What do you mean? Am I talking disgusting? Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but wail.

"No, it's disgusting." Jinghai Shenyue raised her eyebrows without hiding her disgust.

Jiang Yuanshen tilted his head slightly, and asked in surprise, "Why do you believe what I say?" It's possible that I'll add oil and vinegar. ”

"Why do you add oil and vinegar?"

"Well, for example, you have a crush on me?"

Jinghai Shenyue's expression is still unchanged, and her long black hair like a waterfall sways in the wind.

"Why do you want me to have a crush on you?"

"Forget it." Jiang Yuanshen was a little self-defeating, and his tone was mixed with self-deprecation and anxiety.

Jinghai Shenyue glanced at him, and her soft lips slightly outlined an arc.

The orange-red sun reluctantly swept the sea, and the white moon could already be glimpsed in the sky.

"There's nothing I can do about it because you're lying to me." Jinghai Shenyue's words sounded like a sense of relief.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the particles of light reflected in Lake Kamo were clearly reflected, and it felt like he was from a distant world.

Only here, separated from the world by a film of water, the two of them are immersed in invisible water.

"Not to mention that it's human nature to lie, and most of the time, I can't even be honest with myself." Jinghai Shenyue's voice became very rational.

Her words seemed to convince herself.

For some reason, Jiang Yuanshen was a little out of breath, and subconsciously lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you for believing in me." ”

"No, I thought you were the most sober person on the island, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you." Jinghai Shenyue glanced at him and smiled without any scheming, "It's already very happy that you can respond to my expectations." ”

This sentence made Jiang Yuanshen temporarily stop breathing, his mind was blank, and he couldn't find the next words.

Her smile embraced the twilight, and the gentle light submerged into her senses, and then, in her body, she turned into a pair of gentle hands, pulling out a series of chaotic feelings despite the risk of him suffocating.

However, Jinghai Shenyue squinted her eyes slightly, pressed her slender fingers against her chin, and smiled meaningfully:

"Don't be hopelessly obsessed with a girl because of her words, such a boy has no charm at all, and is the most despised."

Looking at her somewhat smug little face, Jiang Yuan carefully sorted out her chaotic thoughts, and said:

"Come less, I won't be obsessed with you."

"That's good." Jinghai Shenyue brushed down her long hair, and said lightly, "Back to the point, Jinghai Yaren always looks confident when she talks to me, and she also told me that she won't stop me." ”

"It's nothing, that's fine."

Jiang Yuanshen's mind was still confused, but when a confused gaze came from his side, he finally understood what this sentence meant.

To salvage his image, he added: "Are you trying to say that he didn't stop it because we missed something? ”

"Hmm." Jinghai Shenyue withdrew her gaze like a fool, and her white hand kneaded her chin and said, "But what is it?" I don't have any thoughts. ”

Thank you one by one after that, tired.
