Unable to resist Shi Chang's strength, Xin had no choice but to say hello to Mr. Kuriyama from the Nanyun Club, and took a bus to Kyoto one day in advance.

Such a sudden change of itinerary will inevitably be questioned by several seniors in the clubhouse. After getting Xin's so-called "because I want to meet a friend", the seniors gathered together, raised Xin's shoulders, and smiled. Very cunning.

"Hey, I'm going to meet a girl."

"Hey, has our innocent little boy finally grown up?"

After being attacked by the seniors, Xin suddenly blushed. Recalling Shi Chang's slightly pale face, he touched the back of his head with some embarrassment: "It's a joke to her. How rude."

"It turns out that our new capital has learned to protect girls. Come on, tell us which girl is so lucky?"

"Why even senior Murao..."

Unexpectedly, my speech made the group of people around me even more eager to move, Xin looked away from Murao in embarrassment, lifted the backpack behind him, and said: "Well, I will start first, and I will soon miss the bus. "

Everyone looked at the black-haired boy who ran away from under their noses, and felt a warm feeling in their hearts.

Most of the seniors in the Nanyun Club grew up watching Miyatani Shin. They affirmed his talent, marveled at his talent, and were also moved by his persistence.Especially after his return, the road he has traveled in the past two years has always been in everyone's eyes.Once upon a time, the fair boy with glasses in everyone's memory has grown into a man in his own right, and he also carries everyone's dreams and continues to challenge higher peaks.

"Oh, everyone's gathered here."

Suddenly they heard a familiar voice behind them, and everyone suddenly turned their heads: "Teacher Lishan!"

Isamu Kuriyama walked slowly, and cast a meaningful look in the direction of the new disappearance: "I always feel that when the new one becomes a celebrity, we will all be old too."

"Teacher, if Xinna kid hears your words, he will be very sad."

"I hope that in front of him is a broad road that no one like us has ever seen."

Kuriyama-sensei narrowed his eyes deeply, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Near noon, the bus from Fukui finally arrived in Kyoto.

The bustling crowd at the station made Xin suddenly feel a little dazed. At this time, he suddenly remembered that although the ticket was temporarily changed, the hotel seemed unable to check in one day earlier, and he didn't bring enough travel expenses due to his haste. I'm afraid tonight I have to have the cheek to go to Tai's family for another night.

After walking a few steps toward the exit, Xin saw a familiar figure from afar in the crowd.

"Poetry."

Shin waved in the girl's direction, but the other party didn't respond at all, but stared at him blankly with cold eyes.

Shi Chang was wearing a red coat, and a big snowman head was embroidered on the smoky gray scarf around his neck.Slanting behind her is a small green bag with an image of a cartoon animal named "Struggling Pig" that she has recently become obsessed with.Because this "thick and colorful" attire looks a bit too weird to others, so although there are many people on the bus platform, there is no one within half a meter of Shi Chang.

It wasn't until Xin walked in front of her that Shi Chang raised his head silently: "You are late."

As she spoke, she exhaled white mist from her mouth.

Although it's not even November, the abnormal weather has plunged the entire western Japan into a world of ice and snow.The convenience store next to the bus station has turned on the heating system early, and the hot coffee sold has become quite popular.

At this time, Xincai noticed that Shi Chang didn't intend to not respond just now, but that she had already been stiff since she had been standing in the cold wind.Now she just barely raised her head, kept her hands in her pockets, and tucked her neck into the scarf to talk to him.

"Shi Chang, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Realizing this, Xin became a little anxious, and reflexively put his hand on Shi Chang's cheek, feeling the girl's body temperature through the temperature of the skin.

A coolness swept over Xin's palm in an instant, his heart sank, he looked at Shi Chang and said, "Why is your face so cold?"

Shi Chang turned her head away, wondering if it was because the new sudden action made her feel a little bit astonished, but the girl took a step back habitually, and replied awkwardly: "So I said you were late for a long time."

Xin, who didn't understand the meaning of Shi Chang's words at all, showed a face of self-blame, he clumsily took off the woolen cap on his head, and took advantage of the opportunity to put it on Shi Chang's head: "Sorry, I forgot the bus in Kyoto. The platform is outside, if Shi Chang catches a cold...I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, I shouldn't have asked you to pick me up."

"It's okay, I was the one who said I would come."

As soon as Shi Chang finished speaking, the young man standing in front of her had already bent down, approached her eyes, and pressed his palm to her cold forehead.

"What?"

Shi Chang moved away from Xin sensitively, turned around, and turned his back to him.

Xin, who was dodged by Shi Chang twice in a row, stood behind her in embarrassment, with an expression of not knowing what to do.His face was slightly red, and the air he exhaled turned into a cloud of white mist.

"Is Shi Chang angry with me?"

The new question was very light, and came through the bustling crowd, such a gentle tone made Shi Chang, whose back was turned to him, feel confused.

"Stupid, stupid, what nonsense, let's go."

It was rare that even Shi Chang, who was always calm and composed, lost his mind for a moment. She took two steps forward stiffly, and turned her head to look at the boy who was still stuck in place with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Shi Chang, where are you going?"

"Golden Pavilion Temple."

"Golden Pavilion Temple?"

Because if you don't take a look at the ancient buildings, you can't calm down now!

For some reason, such an idea popped up in Shi Chang's mind.

Because it is a holiday, there are many tourists in front of the Kinkakuji Temple as a tourist attraction.

Shi Chang and Xin huddled in the crowd in a daze, separated by a certain distance, neither talking nor looking at each other, if they hadn't been walking side by side all the time, in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that these two were an incompatible couple. Acquainted strangers.

For Shi Chang, who has lived in the northern part of Kyoto for a long time, Kinkakuji Temple is not a very rare sight.When she was young, whenever she felt confused, confused or sad, she would come to see such a resplendent ancient building. For some reason, it seemed that after seeing such a quiet building, her mood would miraculously change. Calm down.

However, Xin, who seldom comes to Kyoto, looks like a real tourist, visiting the various scenic spots of the ancient temple very seriously, and sighing softly from time to time.

When passing by the front hall, Xin stopped in front of the hall, held up a square gift box, and said to Shi Chang: "Shi Chang, the souvenirs here look good, how about buying them back for the teacher and the seniors of Murao? "

"They will come to the capital tomorrow themselves too." Shi Chang said disdainfully.

After being reminded by Shi Chang, Xin suddenly remembered this matter, so he put down the gift box in his hand with a little regret.

"Compared to the prosperity of Tokyo, I like the ancient charm of Kyoto more. Is there a Fenglin Road in front of Shi Chang's school? I want to see that later."

Shi Chang looked at Xin with some helplessness, always feeling that this guy whom she had called ahead of time suddenly became like a primary school student who came for sightseeing, and completely forgot about tomorrow's West Japan representative qualifier.

"You guys, don't you remember tomorrow's qualifiers..."

"Hey, isn't that Wakamiya?"

Before Shi Chang finished speaking, a male voice came from behind her.Immediately afterwards, several echoing voices rang out.

"Wearing such exaggerated clothes again, wow, so dirty."

"What's the matter with that bag, a kindergarten student? It's ridiculous."

Xin also noticed the voice of conversation that suddenly sounded behind Shi Chang. He looked around and saw two boys in casual clothes casting stealthy glances in his direction, and beside them stood two The girl, with one long hair and one short hair, looks like a date for a couple.

"Shi Chang, is your friend?"

"No, it's just a boring person, let's go."

Just as the girl was about to pull Xin to leave, the conversation behind her came again.

"Who is that person next to her?" This time it was a female voice who asked.

"I haven't seen it, it doesn't seem like a guy from our school."

"Could it be a boyfriend?"

"Pfft, don't be ridiculous. After a kid who was overconfident was teased by her before, everyone in the whole school shunned her as a villain."

"That's right, and you look at her, how could a boy like a girl like that."

"Wakamiya, she doesn't even have a boyfriend, she doesn't even have a friend."

It was as if bright red drops of blood were dripping onto the snow-white ground, and with a thud, an indescribable pain spread out of my heart.Shi Chang turned her back, lowered her head heavily, and said nothing.

Since I was a child, I should have been used to this kind of life of being pointed at by others.For Shi Chang who grew up alone, there is no gossip that cannot be accepted.She really had no friends, no one she could trust, no one to confide in her troubles, and she wouldn't open up to anyone.For her, friends have always been a dispensable existence.This has been confirmed since she was very young, her friend, only Ge Pai, only Ge Pai will not betray her, and will not make her despair of this cold world.

However, she didn't know why even now, she still cared about those gossips that were obviously dispensable, felt hurt, and felt hesitant.

With her back turned, Shi Chang slowly clenched her fists in her sleeves.

When will someone unlock the small cage where I was imprisoned?

"Please wait."

Just when the four people on the opposite side ended their conversation and were about to leave, a male voice suddenly stopped them.

Shi Chang raised her head in surprise, and Xin's face was full of anger.

Xin walked through Shi Chang in three steps at a time, walked straight to the group of people, blocked their way, and said, "Please apologize to her."

"What?" The other party didn't understand the current situation at all, and replied reflexively.

"Please take back what you just said and say 'sorry' to her."

Facing the "uninvited guest" who suddenly appeared with an unusually serious expression, the anger of the two boys was also aroused.Perhaps because he didn't want to lose face on a date, especially in front of his girlfriend, two boys who looked twice as strong as Xin grabbed him by the collar and said bluntly: "You boy find fault ?"

Under the other party's threats, Xin not only did not flinch, but instead stretched out his hand to hold the other party's clenched fist: "You are the one who was rude. You have no right to say that about her. You don't know her at all."

Shi Chang, who was standing by the side, stared blankly at what was happening in front of her eyes. She saw an expression on Xin's face that she had never seen before. .

For a moment, those lonely memories that had just been filtered out in my heart suddenly shattered into pieces.After erasing the fragments, what appeared in front of her was the boy's clear and clean face, and his fierce resistance when he said "I am her friend".

"new……"

She took a step hesitantly, but the call that came out of her mouth was immediately swallowed in her throat.

The boy's stern fist had already hit Xin's right cheek straightly, and with a cry of surprise, the crowd of onlookers gradually rushed up.

She stood alone outside the encirclement, looking at the picture of being continuously swallowed by the bustling crowd in front of her, it was the first time she saw her eyes sour.

That self-esteem that was abandoned and sealed up by her and could only be re-established with song cards in the end, such a hypocritical thing that she treated with indifference, today, there is actually a person protecting it.

Xin protected her.For the first time, someone was willing to stand by her side and resist the fate she had already given up on.
