It turns out that just living close to each other doesn't happen.

It's as if Jingu Teraetsuki and Sakura Koji Sakura are separated from each other, but the two hearts that miss each other are still tightly together.

The so-called distance of the heart refers to this.

Just because the residence is relatively close and the heart is estranged, it is just an ordinary neighbor.

Sometimes we will meet in front of the elevator, stand together for a minute or two, and wait for the elevator.

Maybe it's going to be accosted, maybe not.

It's just that when she learned that Jingu Teraetsuki and Arisugawa Alice were not lovers, her attitude towards Jingu Teraki was not as deliberate and obvious as before.

It's better to say that after learning about this, Hoshino Mori Hoshino's heart was happy, and he confirmed his heart even more with this.

Every time I met him in the apartment, I saw that he looked like he wanted to talk to him, but he was cautious and didn't dare to step forward, Hoshino Mori Hoshino would have an indescribable mood.

She wanted to reach out and touch him, but she was afraid that it was all her excess of self-awareness.

She couldn't determine if the man named Jingu Terakitsuki had the same thoughts as her.

The words of Alice Arisugawa lingered in Hoshino Mori's mind.

Who is the girl he likes, why does he always desperately follow her, and what will he say to himself if he catches up with him one day.

Could he be the one he likes?

In the dead of night, the thought of this question made her heart beat so hard that she could not sleep, and she looked at the bedroom wall in a daze, and the thought of the man lying on the other side of the wall in her heart could only turn away with her cheeks burning and never look at the wall again.

He silently said "Good night, Jinguji-kun" in his heart and forced himself to sleep.

And the man across the wall ends the phone with his beloved girlfriend every day and says goodnight to each other, and then looks at the wall in a daze, and doesn't know when he will fall asleep.

……

……

During this time, although Hoshino Mori Seino couldn't get a job in dubbing, she got the opportunity to appear as a guest in the personal broadcast of her seniors in the same studio, although she only appeared once.

Even so, it also gave Hoshino Mori a hint of becoming a voice actor.

Her hard work paid off, and she worked harder, harder, and more than she could.

Even if she loses the aura of the proud daughter of the sky, Hoshino Mori is still shining in her own way.

She wanted to continue to be, to be the shining Hoshino Mori Hoshino that that person had been looking for.

As the days go by, the temperature in Tokyo continues to drop, and winter has officially arrived.

Although there are still many girls who choose not to wear stockings and directly expose their thighs, Hoshino Mori Hoshino has a cold physique and can't stand the wind, so he wraps himself tightly every time he goes out.

Today is Tuesday, and when I went out with the sorted combustible garbage, the door next door was opened, and Jingu Terakitsuki walked out of it.

Hoshino Mori Hoshino was slightly stunned, and showed a slight smile: "Morning, Jingu Temple-kun." ”

"Good morning, Hoshino-senpai."

Until this time, Hoshino Mori Hoshino still hadn't told Jingu Terakitsuki, who was now a first-year university student just like Jingu Terakitsuki.

Maybe she felt that the title of "senior sister" had a special meaning to her, and if this relationship was eliminated, she would not know what reason she should use to continue to associate with him.

On the first floor, as soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw Alice Arisugawa and several other student residents in the apartment displaying lights in the public area.

Jinguji Yuexin said that this early morning is too diligent.

"Miss Arisugawa, good morning."

"Ah, good morning, Miss Hoshino Mori, uh...... Good morning, Jinguji-kun too. ”

"...... this?" Jingu Teratsuki looked at the common area of the apartment.

"When preparing for the Christmas party, I informed the residents beforehand, and if there is no arrangement for Christmas Eve, everyone will hold a party in the apartment."

At this point, Christmas Eve is just a few days away.

Jingu Teratsuki knew about it, but he wasn't at the party, and he made an appointment with Sakurakoji Sakura that day.

Alice Arisugawa turned to look at Hoshino Mori and said with a smile, "Miss Hoshino Mori, if you are interested, please come and participate." ”

"I'm sorry, I'd love to attend, but there's something going on Christmas Eve." Hoshino Mori declined Arisugawa Alice's invitation.

Jingu Terzuki was slightly stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Hoshino Mori Seino without speaking.

"That's right."

Arisugawa Alice didn't ask Jingu Teratsuki, he had already said that he wouldn't participate.

After a few more casual pleasantries, Jingu Teraritsuki left the apartment alone, and after a while, Hoshino Mori Hoshino also walked out and quickly followed Jingu Terakitsuki's side.

"Where are Jingu Temple-kun going?" She asked.

"Library."

"That's it."

"Where's Senpai?"

"Office."

"It's hard work?"

"No work, no hardship."

One question and one answer, concise and dry, without the slightest embellishment, the main thing is a stranger asking for directions.

The two of them walked towards the station, and the cold wind blowing in front of them was very bitter, with a little dryness, like rubbing sandpaper on the skin, and it hurt.

They would talk about things, Hoshino Mori would talk about all kinds of customers he met when he was working, and Jingu Terakitsuki would talk about what kind of books he read, which fully explained how different their adult lives were.

But no one mentioned the name of the other girl.

As for whether it is deliberately avoided or has a clear conscience, no one can say for sure.

"Jinguji-kun, is there already an arrangement for Christmas Eve?" She asked.

The two stood on the platform together and waited for the train, not on the same shift.

"Well, yes, isn't it too?"

Jingu Siyue lowered his eyes slightly, and didn't ask too much, he was afraid of hearing the answer from her, and he was even more afraid that he would open his mouth to ask about the matter itself.

“…… Well, there is an arrangement. ”

She didn't say that she was going to attend a radio show arranged by her office on Christmas Eve.

She didn't ask, and asked him if he had made an appointment with another girl on Christmas Eve.

As the train entered the station, she stepped into the carriage, Jingu Terakitsuki always stood at the door, the door slowly closed, and as the train left, a layer of pure white snowflakes suddenly fell above the platform in the open air.

One after the other.

It hadn't snowed in Tokyo for a long time, and Jingu Terakitsuki stood in the middle of the platform, exhaling a white mist, looking at the sky and whispering, "This year, it's a white Christmas." ”

A train in the opposite direction of Hoshino Mori Seino entered the station, Jingu Terakitsuki stepped in, watching the scenery outside the window quietly change, and the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

He received a message from Sakurakoji Sakura.

- On Christmas Eve, I can't come to see you.
