fall in love in my world

The hot summer wind blows.

The wind chimes jingle lightly.

It was the summer vacation of the second year of high school, the cicadas were singing, the heat wave was rolling, and it seemed that there were guests at home, so I thought it was noisy and hid in the porch, holding a watermelon to cool it, while blowing the air.

The watermelon in my arms is ice cold.

Drowsiness gradually came.

"...my father didn't come home last night, may I ask if Miss Dongmei has seen my father nearby..."

In a daze, Hong felt as if he knew who was coming.

It seems to be from the nearby Tsukishima family. I heard from my sister that the girl in that family seems to be a year older than him, and she is also studying in Xiongying. Every time Dongmei Dongmei mentions her, she will sigh:

"...Mazakura is not easy...I have never seen her mother...and her father is drunk all day long..."

What greeted her half-closed eyes was Pingting's beautiful figure walking around the courtyard.

Under the shade of the rich green tree, the girl is as refreshing as the breeze blowing between the leaves. She seems to be used to her father's disappearance, so she doesn't seem too anxious. She just looks for it step by step. If she can't find it, she waits patiently for a day or two. , he will always come back.

"... On such a hot day, how can you find it by yourself, Masakura? Let Jiao Dong help you..."

The drowsiness of hearing his name from his sister's mouth subsided.

The noon sun scorched the ground scorching hot. It was really unbearable for a girl to search for someone alone in the midsummer.

"Hey...?" The girl looked in the direction Hong Dongmei pointed.

"Jiao Dong, you don't have anything to do today." Hong Dongmei waved at him, "Can I ask you to accompany Zhen Sakura to find his father? It's really pitiful for her to be alone in such a hot day."

What's more, it's not safe for her to go to the izakaya, liquor, and clubs that her father frequents by herself, even during the day.

Masakura waved her hand in embarrassment: "Miss Fuyumi, I'm fine...or not..."

"I'm fine." The young man walking under the sun looked indifferent. If he only looked at his face, he would give the impression of a sense of distance. "Then I'll go change my clothes before leaving."

But in practice, it is surprisingly easy to talk about.

"Thank you, Miss Dongmei, then we'll go first."

Hong Dongmei looked at the backs of the two of them. Masakura, who was wearing a light cornel-colored dress, looked gentle and elegant, her slightly curly long hair spread out behind her back, and each strand of hair reflected a lustrous luster in the sun.

The back view of the girl and Hong walking side by side is as pleasing to the eye as a scene in a girl's manga.

But the two of them had no such self-awareness.

Masakura, who was holding a parasol, tried to raise her arms, and shrouded Toro in the shade under the umbrella.

"...I'm not hot." Hong glanced at the umbrella above his head, "You're still yourself..."

Masakura said seriously, "Even if it's not hot, your face will still hurt if you get in the sun. Please run this trip and let me hold the umbrella for you."

After thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her, so he let out an oh and followed her quietly.

Then he endured the condemning eyes of passers-by.

"...I'll support you..." Hong proposed.

But Masakura shook her head stubbornly: "I can...the izakaya is here, I'll go and have a look first."

She stayed behind and waited for her standing in the shade of a tree, and ran to the izakaya across the street alone to inquire. The izakaya hadn't opened yet during the day, and only a few shop assistants were moving goods outside the door. The girl handed the photo on the phone to the shop assistant for identification. But the clerk shook his head.

However, as his eyes moved upwards, when the girl Shu Li Wushuang's face fell into his sight, he seemed to be beaten with a stick, and he was speechless for a long time.

"... Excuse me, then I will look elsewhere, thank you..."

When she got up and was about to leave, someone in the clerk stammered and stopped her: "That... I, I seem to have seen someone like this..."

Masakura was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Really? May I ask where you saw it?"

"Ah...that..."

The clerks were winking and smiling, Zhen Sakura didn't understand what they were laughing at, but felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she tilted her head in doubt, wondering if there was something strange about herself, so she wanted to take a picture on the glass on the right , turned around but bumped into someone's chest.

He didn't know when he stood behind her.

"Are you done asking?"

Hong said this to her, but he looked at the shop assistants with a hint of warning in his stern eyes.

"Someone seems to have seen it before." Masakura turned to look at the clerk after finishing speaking, "Really?"

Seeing that this seemingly innocent and deceitful girl did not come alone, the clerk waved his hands nervously: "No... I should have remembered wrong... I don't know..."

Masakura felt a little regretful: "Okay, excuse me."

She bowed, turned around and was about to open the umbrella for Hong, when he took it and opened the parasol on top of her head.

"Walk."

The umbrella above Masakura's head shrouded her in the shade, and after watching the well-matched teenager and girl leave, several shop assistants murmured to themselves:

"...Sure enough, such a beautiful girl has a boyfriend... The eyes are really scary..."

There were teasing laughter all around:

"If you have such a beautiful girlfriend, you will be as defensive as a thief haha..."

From the izakaya on the street to the clubs at the entrance of the alley, Masakura asked them one by one, and when he found Ryosuke Tsukishima next to the trash can in the dark alley, it was almost dark.

Tsukishima Ryosuke, who smelled of alcohol all over his body, seemed to have had a drink all night and then another drink in the afternoon. When he was extremely sleepy, he just found a place to lie down and sleep.

Masakura is used to his regular entertainment as a low-level employee. After the Tsukishima family went bankrupt, he could find a job, and Masakura has nothing else to ask of him.

"Hey—— Mr. Boom??"

Originally, he planned to take a taxi directly at the intersection to go back, but before Masakura could stop him, he had already picked up Ryosuke Tsukishima who was sleeping on the ground without saying a word.

"It's not easy to take a taxi here." Hong didn't care about Ryosuke Tsukishima's smell of alcohol and dust, and said lightly, "Go to the intersection."

In fact, he didn't talk too much along the way, quietly, and didn't ask too much about the private affairs of the Yuedao family, but he didn't hesitate to act on anything he could do.

This man is much gentler than he appears on the outside.

Masakura glanced at his clear side face, thinking this in her heart.

Although he is taciturn, and occasionally even has no emotion/interest because he is too natural, it is not very difficult for Masakura who is alone to fall in love with Hong Jiaodong.

Zhen Sakura still remembers that when she was 15 years old, she found her father on the street at twelve o'clock in the morning, and dragged him to the intersection, but met a taxi driver with ulterior motives, and hurriedly went back in time to avoid the taxi. , But on the road, I encountered a gangster haunting late at night.

At that time, she was hiding in a dark alley, surrounded by her father who was drunk into a puddle of mud, and outside was a gangster carrying a solid baseball bat. She was terribly afraid, and desperately hugged her knees, huddled tightly so that no one would Discover.

If only someone could come and help her.

If only someone could reach out and help her at that time.

At that time, Masakura, whose mental age was only ten years old, was crying and shouting in her heart.

——The person who did not appear at that time appeared beside Masakura at this very moment.

He could treat her so considerately just out of sympathy, but if he was deeply in love with him, how could he obtain such a tender and addictive love?

Can she be loved by him?

If you fall in love with him, can you escape the boundless darkness?

Masakura couldn't give herself a definite answer.

So on the eve of New Year's Eve, when the gorgeous fireworks illuminated the dark sky, she stood on tiptoe, like a ignorant and fearless child, and touched the subtle relationship between the two.

"Please associate with me, Mr. Hong."

Even more eye-catching than the fireworks is the star-like light in the girl's eyes.

At that time, he didn't give a definite reply, but he didn't tell her until the graduation ceremony of Masakura.

"It's me this time."

He watched her tenderly and sincerely from the rooftop.

The usually taciturn boy bowed solemnly——

"Please associate with me, Tsukishima."

Before going back in time, Masakura gave her answer:

"it is good."

Hong Jiaodong never thought that he would see Masakura in the hospital.

After the kiss on New Year's Eve, he originally wanted to meet her at the graduation ceremony, but Zhen Sakura was busy with all kinds of graduation matters, and Hong Jiaodong never found the right time. He himself reached the end of the semester and was also busy with the final exam.

This delay has been delayed until now.

"...are you hurt?" He frowned and stared at her leg, "what happened?"

While talking, he came over and wanted to help her go downstairs, but Masakura turned sideways to avoid the outstretched hand, she smiled politely and obediently: "I can do it myself, it's no big deal."

Because of her avoidance, Hong was a little stunned, but he didn't think too much: "Accident? Or is it artificial?"

Compared with Masakura's alienated attitude, he cares more about her body.

"It was an accident. It was the Yappongi incident last month. You should have heard about it." Masakura jumped downstairs cautiously step by step, still reassuring, "Look, I can go downstairs by myself ,so……"

When she got to the middle of the stairs, Masakura was about to turn her head to say goodbye to Hong, but unexpectedly, her leg that had just been rehabilitated hadn't fully recovered its strength at this time, and she lost her center of gravity just a moment after turning around, and she had only one foot to support her. , Boom's heart rose to his throat, and he rushed down without hesitation.

But his fingertips were a tiny bit away from Masakura, and he couldn't catch her in the first place.

"No matter how you walk, you have to look around!"

Crutches rolled down the stairs.

But the girl fell firmly into a firm and warm embrace.

At the same time, the man's solemn and dull reprimand rang in her ears.

Looking at the man who caught Masakura, he said unexpectedly: "Mr. Aizawa..."

Aizawa Shouta, who was squatting and hugging Masakura tightly, was also surprised by Tomo's appearance. He silently looked away from Tomo, and looked down at Masakura in his arms: "Can we still go?"

Masakura blinked: "I can't go."

He made a cold face on purpose: "...I'll give you another chance."

"Humph."

She snorted softly, like a kitten scratching with its harmless paw.

Hong Jiaodong, who was quietly observing from the side, discovered that from the moment the girl saw Aizawa Shouta, the girl changed from a restrained jade to a bright diamond under the sun. In the corners of her eyes and brows.

Even if it is quickly to maintain a suitable distance, even if it is a few words.

But the starlight in her eyes cannot be concealed.

As dull as a bang, he finally realized this.

Her brilliance no longer blooms for him——
