Before you know it, the cotton-wool-like clouds are dyed red,

The glass-colored evening was approaching, and the two crows flew towards the mountains and forests like black postcards in summer.

The wind from the electric fan in the room became much cooler, and it blew through the girl and his hair with concern.

Jiang Yuanshen found a seat by the door and sat down, looking out the window, he could see Shuangjin Port not far away.

Inside, sitting in the air shook the apricot and her two best friends, Kurosawa Pity buried her head in the hair of the firewood, with a deaf attitude.

On the small wooden table was a plate of small tomatoes with green accents, and he suddenly remembered that this thing was also called cherry tomatoes.

Jinghai Shenyue gently raised her long eyelashes that were dyed honey by the setting sun, and pinched a small tomato with two fingers and put it in her mouth.

- The queen eats the saint? Will the queen of Zhitori Island become a saint, or will the cherry tomatoes of Zhitori Island change their name to the emperor?

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Yuanshen's gaze moved away from her small mouth and looked at Kurosawa's mercy.

"If you board a helicopter, where will you go?"

"Only in Niigata."

Kurosawa tugged at her thin lips, and the firewood hair at her feet shone like a lion's mane, shining in the sun.

"You can do it anywhere, I'll do the rest myself." Jinghai Shenyue said something solemn, so that Jiang Yuanshen did not dare to speak easily.

However, he opened his mouth directly, leaned forward slightly and asked:

"Where are you going after that? Are there any relatives out there? You're so beautiful, you're going to meet someone with bad intentions, right? No problem? ”

Jiang Yuanshen didn't quite understand why she would use honorifics for Jinghai Shenyue, but it was better than before.

Jinghai Shenyue's gaze towards the sky shaking the apricot tended to be gentle, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

But her expression was so lonely that she looked like a girl who was about to run away from home and had already expected that she would get lost in a strange world.

"I have savings that will last me to adulthood, and I will find a high-security community to live in."

"What about the student status? If you don't handle it well, Jinghai-san won't be able to enroll, right? ”

When Asakura said this, her eyes were on Kurosawa's pity, as if in her heart, only this Tokyo lady could solve the problems of these adult worlds.

However, Kurosawa only took off his shoes, and his white and lovely little feet stepped on the back of the firewood, and stepped on them carelessly.

The golden retriever, who was trampled under the feet of the girl, honestly lay on his stomach.

"Thank you for your concern, even if I don't have a teacher, I can be admitted to the university through self-study, and I really don't have to take up everyone's time anymore."

Jinghai Shenyue smiled, it was a clear and transparent voice without any selfish desires.

Because for her, Kurosawa has no reason to continue to help her, and after leaving the island, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Jiang Yuanshen finally realized that Jinghai Shenyue was deeply guilty of troublesome to everyone, but he didn't say it directly.

Shaking the apricot in the air stared at the queen she had always hated, revealing an extremely sad expression.

"It's really hard to live alone."

"Maybe." Jinghai Shenyue lowered her head and was silent for a long time.

The room looks like the deep ocean floor is inaudible, the honey-colored sunlight shines on the tabletop, and the tomatoes sparkle like a quiet flame.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but hope that after leaving the island, Jinghai Shenyue would still be able to insist on herself, and she would like to eat small tomatoes as always.

However, at this time, Takimitsu Naoko was like a tree in a storm, swaying violently from side to side, and then clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyelashes fluttered like butterflies flapping her wings, and she deliberately twisted and said softly:

"Okay, okay, after Jinghai leaves, Shaoxing will be able to be thick with Jiang Yuan, don't put on a sad expression."

Kurosawa's eyebrows were raised, and the feet that stepped on the firewood used it unconsciously, and the firewood suddenly opened his eyes, and his upper body bowed directly.

Shaking the apricot in the air, his face turned red, and he glared at Naoko Takimitsu: "Don't say these weird things again!" ”

Takimitsu Naoko didn't care about the indifferent and noble gaze from beside her, and said to Jiang Yuan in a tone like reading lines:

"Ahh Jiang Yuan! What a noble girl she is! You will be the man who is qualified to be her husband! O God! Please don't let her marry someone else until then! And don't let you be the emperor penguin that girls despise! ”

The corners of Jiang Yuanshen's mouth grinned, but his eyes met Kurosawa's pity in a trance.

I thought that Kurosawa would cast an angry gaze, but the moment the two met their eyes, she lowered her head as if she were running away, pretending to step on the firewood carefully.

Jiang Yuanshen raised his hand and kneaded his nose, and the moment she met the gaze, he was inexplicably excited, and it was difficult to cool down.

While surprised, I was a little relieved for some reason.

The thought that if he kept his promise to Kurosawa, the two would go to Tokyo to go to school, and he felt that reality was magical.

This Tokyo lady has obvious feelings for him, and her figure and personal charm are incomparably outstanding, and she may gradually accept her.

But when the time comes, I will take the sky to shake the apricots together, so what should I do?

He had "abandoned" the apricot in the sky, and now it was impossible to "abandon" her again.

Although I don't think that leaving Chitori Island in the first place is "abandonment", this definition does not need to be recognized by both parties, as long as one party admits that it is "abandonment", it is "abandonment".

In the gap between the two contradictory feelings, Jiang Yuanshen naturally couldn't concentrate and make up his mind, perhaps maintaining the status quo was the best way.

"Pause!" Shaking Xing in the air didn't notice his expression, but just stretched out his hand and pinched Takimitsu Naoko's face and said, "Why do you always embarrass me in public!" ”

"Hmm—maybe I have an annoying talent——! It hurts! ”

"What are you so proud of, it sounds completely derogatory!"

"It's strange, but I perfectly express your inner emotions for the boy in love."

"You don't have to show it."

"But then everyone doesn't understand your mood!"

"Conveying too much will only affect everyone's mood!"

When she shook the apricot in the air, she looked shy, and occasionally made eye contact with Jiang Yuanshen, she blushed and hurriedly turned her head.

"Recently—" Jiang Yuanshen's voice was a little sharp in order to ease the atmosphere, "Did Senior Ito Kado come to you?" ”

Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head slightly, and her silky hair slid down her cheeks: "Why did he come to me?" ”

"I can't let go, won't he pester you?"

"I hate that kind of person the most."

Jinghai Shenyue pinched a small tomato and put it in her mouth, she didn't seem to have time to close her lips, and the juice took the opportunity to flow out of her cherry lips.

She pretended to have nothing to do and stretched out Sakura's little tongue and licked it, and then said with a long sigh:

"Senior Huatang is very strange, he seems to have read too many hot-blooded comics, and always thinks that he has the ability and obligation to protect me."

Jiang Yuanshen was still puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not so much that I think I have the ability and obligation, isn't it because the two of you have known each other since childhood?" ”

"You know this——? Jinghai Shenyue pouted a little embarrassed, and defended, "He only cares about pouring out his emotions, and it's very troublesome for me to talk to him." ”

As a result, Kurosawa suddenly sneered disdainfully: "It's better than some people who never pour out their emotions." ”

"Are you talking about Jiang Yuan-san?" Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head fifteen degrees in confusion.

"Me?" Jiang Yuan pointed at himself cautiously.

Takimitsu Naoko nodded in agreement and said, "I know this very well! ”

"Kurosawa-san, don't I pour out my emotions in your eyes?"

In the face of Jiang Yuanshen's questioning, Kurosawa just glanced at him with one hand on his cheek and didn't say anything again.

◇

I don't know how long I have to stay, until Firewood pees on the ground without discipline, and everyone says goodbye and leaves.

The Golden Retriever's urine was cold and smelly indoors, but its pure emotion on the outside made everyone hate it.

Jiang Yuanshen was going to go home with Chaokong Shaoxing, but Jinghai Shenyue offered to let him send him back.

As if realizing that it was the last time, even Kurosawa didn't refute anything.

In the evening, it is the sunset of the railroad tracks and the sunset of the sea, and when you stretch out your hand, it seems that you can shake hands with the last red glow in the sky and say goodbye.

Jiang Yuan stared at the flawless white cloud beside her, she had the purity and dignity unique to a young girl, like scattered dandelion feathers in the sky.

"After leaving the island, I'm going to go to Hokkaido."

The side face of Jinghai Shenyue is like a full drink of rose wine, drunkenly overflowing with light and color, making people surprisingly afraid to blink.

Jiang Yuanshen suddenly felt that even the sunset trembled twice, and entered the water with an extremely brisk bounce, quietly and without alarm.

It's getting dark.

"Sapporo?"

He remembered his high school teacher in Tokyo, where he won first place in sports.

"How's it going there?"

"I've heard that the average temperature throughout the year is 5°C to 12°C, but it's an inland city with no sea in sight."

INTERVIEWER How pitiful it is that the people of Sapporo can't see the sea.

"Then I can wear a thin sweater all year round, I prefer plush to a shirt, and I don't need to wear a short skirt."

Jinghai Shenyue has an indifferent attitude about whether she can see the sea or not.

"But where you can grow tomatoes?"

"Probably not, it's going to be at 20°C to 28°C, and the germination of the seeds is 5°C higher than that." Shizumi Fukatsuki's little hand against his chin said, "Then I won't go to Hokkaido, Fukushima will be fine, Kagoshima will be fine-"

"You're so casual." He couldn't help but laugh.

"Because it can't be practiced yet, casual is a matter of course, don't you also say that the ashes are going to Neptune?"

“.”

Jiang Yuanshen was speechless by what she took for granted.

Because it was close to the supermarket's discount time, the two went to the supermarket again.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't understand that she was leaving tomorrow, did she still plan to take something to eat?

"Do you want to buy something?"

As soon as he asked, Jinghai Shenyue turned her head to look at the supermarket discounter in front of her, and finally smiled.

"No, I want to give you a little privilege at the end."

Jiang Yuanshen then remembered that Jinghai Shenyue, as the queen of Zhiniao Island, all the consumption on the island was free.

But because of his face, he only bought two-fold items, not much, all of them were food, which served as a supper tonight.

"If it's one person's, is it too much?" Jinghai Shenyue looked at the basket he was carrying.

"He's back."

“.” There was a gleam in her eyes, but she only nodded slightly.

picked up the queen's wool at the cash register, but Jiang Yuanshen somehow couldn't be happy.

It's strange that he'd been happy to grab a two-fold item all night, but now he's not interested in getting something for free.

There is such a difference between the two, Jiang Yuanshen feels uncomfortable about this, is it because he is too hypocritical?

"Jiang Yuan, what clothes did you wear in your previous school?" Under the blowing of the evening breeze, the long hair of the deep moon in the still sea danced with it.

"It's a straight Western-style uniform, it's very good-looking, the girl has a short black skirt, just above the knee, and a white Western-style shirt."

"Kurosawa-san's clothes must be very beautiful, it's so good, I'm almost tired of wearing sailor suits, and I've been wearing them since I was a child."

"If you want to wear it, I can send it to you."

"Forget it, it's better for us not to contact each other in the future."

"You think I'm going to annoy you?"

"I can't help it if you think so."

"Do you rarely watch TV? This phrase often becomes one of the reasons for quarrels between couples. ”

"They're probably just trying to find an excuse to make a fuss."

"It's like you've been in love."

When Jinghai Shenyue heard this, she didn't seem to know how to refute it, but frowned slightly.

Walking along the route that sent her home that day, there was no longer the black cat.

In the dark purple air where dusk meets night, she exhales a warm breath.

"I'm almost at the residence."

Her words seemed to tell Jiang Yuanshen that he was about to arrive home and remind him to leave so as not to be seen.

But she didn't mean to leave his figure half a step, and always kept a distance of half a meter side by side.

"Okay, then you can go." Jiang Yuanshen stopped and stayed where he was, pointed in the direction he came from, and said, "I'll go back there." ”

Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head a little confused, pinched the bridge of her delicate nose with her hand and complained:

"Some people say you're too emotional, but you're really not so sluggish now, are you?"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a while, and when she was wondering who said this about herself, she seemed to pour out helplessly.

"Ugh."

This sigh was like a breeze, making Jiang Yuanshen's thoughts sprout like weeds.

He suddenly realized that Jinghai Shenyue said "I'm almost at the residence", not to let him go back early, but to remind him to go in a different direction.

"Where are you going?"

"Huh? Your home? ”

"I have someone in my family."

"Stupid, I'm talking about your old home."

Jiang Yuanshen realized that she wanted to go to the big ruins for a walk.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky had not yet turned prime, but painted with untouchable ultramarine.

When the two came to the big ruins, they were greeted by a lonely place, with no obstructions, and the wind roared unscrupulously on the ruins.

Jinghai Shenyue sat on the ruins and broken walls, hugged her curled white legs, and muttered in a low voice:

"It's weird, I feel like my life is carrying a huge story now, but why do I always feel like I'm an empty jar?"

Jiang Yuanshen was stunned by her words, he didn't quite understand the true meaning of these words, but it sounded inexplicably sad.

A gust of wind blew, and the girl stretched out her hands and breathed freely, the wind pressure blowing her bangs and beautiful skirt, and her long silky hair was like the tentacles of the night.

She couldn't chase the sunset and sunset, but she was able to open her hands and embrace the freedom of the wind.
