[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

When Mashima Rika opened the door, there was a momentary sense of astonishment.

She stared blankly at the person standing outside the door for a long time.Under the slanting sunset, you can clearly see the steaming water vapor on his hair, and the glasses that he always used are not on the bridge of his nose, but are held in his hands instead.There was a bruise on the upper part of his right eye, the corner of his mouth seemed to be stained red, a little dust was stained on his coat, his hair was a little messy, and he looked completely embarrassed.

"What happened?"

Lihua blurted out subconsciously, but just after she said it, she noticed a thin figure standing behind the man in front of her.

"who is she?"

"I'm sorry, Lihua, is Taiyi there?" Xin didn't answer Lihua's question, but narrowed his eyes in pain, and made an apologetic gesture, "I have to trouble him for something."

"You haven't answered me yet, who is she?"

For Lihua, she seemed to pay more attention to the woman who appeared next to Shin.

It was a face that he had never seen before, pale, cold, eyes like clouds of smoke looked down on Li Hua, without any emotion.She stood behind Xin, as if deliberately keeping a distance, but stretched out a slender arm to support the boy in front of him, preventing him from falling due to vision problems without glasses.She didn't say a word, and occasionally glanced at the failed teenager in front of her from the corner of her eye, and there was no distress or wavering in her eyes.

She has no feelings, this is Lihua's first instinct.However, it was this intuition that made Li Hua feel uneasy.

"My name is Wakamiya Shichang."

The first thing she said to Li Hua was to give her name.The voice was the same as hers, with a hint of redundancy in the coldness.

"Now that you know me, can you let him in?"

Lihua, who didn't react for a while, opened her eyes wide and looked at the girl who was speaking, and subconsciously clenched the hand holding the doorknob even tighter.She didn't know where the pressure came from, and her chest was heavily backlogged. Looking at the two figures in front of her, she fell into a daze.

I always thought that a person like Mitani Shin would never have any girls around him.It's as if my elder brother has such a popular appearance, but he insists on spending a lot of money to play some singing cards, which is why he ended up being single for three years.So for someone like him, you don't need to think about it to know that the situation will definitely be worse.That's why I "kindly" exchanged email addresses with him the day before the other party planned to return to Fukui, and after that, I "kindly" kept a few simple exchanges every day.

When Rika transferred to Kyoto, one day, a classmate asked her curiously: "Who does Mashima email every day? Is it a friend from Tokyo?"

"No." She shook her head and replied, "That person is in Fukui."

"Huh? Does Fukui have any friends from Mashima? You have been to a lot of places."

The other party didn't seem to understand what she meant, but just made some guesses on their own.Lihua didn't bother to explain, it wasn't important anyway.

"But that person must be very important to you, Mashima, because you seem to be nervously checking your phone after every get out of class."

what……

Lihua was stunned for a moment, and after exposing the behavior that she didn't even notice to her classmates, she suddenly realized something.

It turned out that those "good intentions" that I once interpreted as a certain person deviated from the predetermined track at some point.

With a sensibility and reason beyond that of ordinary elementary school students, Rika felt that she was beginning to waver towards Shin Miyatani.

However, when she suddenly saw a girl she didn't know very well beside that person today, this inner fluctuating feeling made her even more convinced of her original suspicion.

Could it be that I treat him...

"new!"

At this moment, Taichi's voice sounded from behind Lihua.

A water-blue figure rushed out of the house and flashed in front of her.Taiyi's tall figure turned his back to Lihua, blocking her, and she saw the restless expression on her brother's face.

"What's the matter with your face? Didn't you say that Wakamiya was going to pick you up at the station? Could it be a car accident?" Taiyi asked, turning his gaze to Shi Chang behind Xin.

"No." Shi Chang just gave a negative answer, but he couldn't seem to say the second half of the sentence to explain the reason.

"It's none of her business, it's my own problem." Xin wanted to smile to relieve the stiff atmosphere, but the smile lines at the corner of his mouth hadn't fully bloomed yet, as if he had touched a wound, making him close it painfully mouthed.

"In short, let's talk about it first."

Regardless of Li Hua's reaction, Tai Yi hastily introduced Shi Chang and Xin into the room.

When the four of them sat on the sofa together, the atmosphere was eerily eerie.

The only ones who were completely unaware of this atmosphere were Taiyi who was busy treating the new wound, and the person who frowned and said "it's okay, it's okay" while smiling.

Lihua put down a cup of tea in front of Shi Chang, and the dense water vapor caught the eyes of the two of them for a while, and they looked at the same place.After looking at each other for a moment, they all looked away and stopped looking at each other.

After a moment of embarrassment, Tai Yi over there finally healed Xin Jianjian's wound.The small medicine chest is full of cut gauze and tape, which looks a bit exaggerated.

"This ice pack, cover it first, the lump in the eye should subside a little tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xin nodded obediently like a new patient, and took the ice pack from Taiyi's hand, "I'm really sorry for you, Taiyi, if Shi Chang said that he couldn't do it, he could go to the hospital, but my health certificate I didn’t bring Kyoto, and I always felt that going to the hospital with such a slight injury seemed a bit exaggerated.”

"In the end, what's the matter with your injury, Xin?"

"Well, it's a long story anyway." As if he didn't intend to explain in detail to Tai Yi, Xin lowered his head, picked up the tea that Lihua had just brewed on the coffee table, and took a sip gently.

"Then tomorrow's game doesn't matter?"

"probably."

Such an unclear answer made Li Hua, who was originally sitting comfortably on the side, suddenly became furious.

She stood up suddenly, glanced at the three people sitting in front of her, and finally stopped her eyes on Xin who was showing a surprised expression: "I can't take it anymore, you are really weird!"

"What's the matter, Li Hua?" Tai Yi, who didn't understand why his sister suddenly became angry, was also a little stunned, and cast a strange look in Li Hua's direction.

"Brother, too, and you too, why don't you people like to clarify things? Tomorrow's game is very important, although I don't understand it, but that game, for you, is really, really, really It's very important." Lihua poured out the words in her heart angrily, her face flushed slightly, and her breathing became rapid.She pointed at Xin, and turned to Taiyi and said, "Don't you understand, brother, no matter how you look at it, you must have been injured. But why do you have to fight before such an important match? What if your hand is injured? What to do, what to do if the eyes can't see, because of this kind of thing, let yourself have some regrets, it's something a fool would do!"

"Rika, you've said too much." Taiyi reached out and pressed his sister's shoulder, trying to calm her down.

Xin, who had been scolded all over his head and face, still maintained the gentle smile before, and there was a faint light of water in his eyes, probably because he didn't wear glasses, so the light in his pupils looked softer.

"Because if I don't do something, no one will do it. If no one comes forward at that time, my important friend will be hurt. If such a thing happened, I will also regret it."

Xin calmly stated, but this kind of calm made the hearts of several people around him feel uneasy.

He raised his head and looked straight ahead with unfocused eyes: "I just don't want the people around me to feel sad, sad, because I have experienced that pain, so I hope I can be a strength around them, even if it's a little bit That's fine too."

"..."

Lihua bit her lip, she saw that Taiyi seemed to be silent knowingly, while the dark-haired girl sitting on the side still lowered her head, but there was a flash of light in her eyes.

"What..." Li Hua's nasal cavity was filled with sourness, and she said sullenly, "What a bad guy."

The three of them focused their eyes on the little girl in front of them.

"Think about yourself, big fool!"

She held back the tears that were about to burst out, and after dropping that sentence, she quickly rushed out towards the steps leading to the second floor.

Some people are alive, always so stupidly thinking only of others.Forbear and give, even at the expense of your own interests, and hope that others will become happier.Around them, others are always more important than themselves.Brother is like this, and so is Watatani Shin.It's just that their gentleness is never directed at themselves.

Some are envious, some are jealous, but more, they are more and more aware of their humble and shameful loneliness.

After Taiyi and this ran up to check Lihua's situation, only Xin and Shichang were left on the sofa in the living room.

The two sat relatively silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

I heard that this house is the former residence of Reiko Mashima's natal relatives. Although it is not as gorgeous as Mashima's house in Tokyo, it still looks like a strong ancient atmosphere.Even the sofa they were sitting on was very small and unique, with four seats facing each other in twos, the khaki fabric and the ink screen on the side complemented each other.

Shi Chang picked up the teacup in front of him, and after some tossing just now, the liquid in it was already somewhat cool.She took a sip lightly, raised her eyes slightly with her brows moving, and stared in a new direction.

"Actually, she was right."

"What?" Facing Shi Chang's sudden words, Xin raised his head in puzzlement and met the girl's eyes.

"As a new person, you always think too much about others, and sometimes you should think more about yourself. Rather than helping me out, I hope you can beat that man in future games."

Xin looked deeply into Shi Chang's eyes, and switched the ice pack from his right hand to the left: "Is what Shi Chang said true?"

"Huh?" Shi Chang opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at Xin.

There was no hesitation or confusion in his eyes, and his tone was extremely firm: "Even if it's Shi Chang's sincere words, I can't do what you want."

"They're just boring people. If they're boring, just don't mind them."

Xin shook his head, closed his eyes and lowered his head, "If that's the case, Shi Chang would be too pitiful."

"..."

"In my eyes, Shi Chang is no different from ordinary girls. She likes cute things and has things she is interested in, so Shi Chang who is bad-mouthed by others must feel sad just like ordinary girls If you really don't mind at all, then Shi Chang would be too pitiful. There will be no pain, no sadness, a person without these emotions is just a puppet. I don't want to see Shi Chang like that. "

"..."

"You still have me by your side, not alone."

The girl's fingers tightened, she looked at Xin Na's still calm expression, and for some reason, the emotions that had finally settled down were shaken again.

In her childhood memory, she never owned anything other than kapai, and even the teacher who taught kapai always said the same thing to her: "This child Wakamiya is very talented, she needs grow up individually."

grow individually.It was just such a sentence that kept her away from too many people and too many things, and she was always locked in a small confined space. The only ones who accompanied her silently were the one hundred singing cards full of pseudonyms, and one A small tape recorder.

Many years later, when Shi Chang became the youngest queen in history and stood on top for the first time, the light in her eyes finally sank.

Even the final goal has been achieved, she doesn't know if there is a way ahead, or in other words, from today onwards, she is destined to stay in the same place and wander.

When awarding the award, the man standing beside her looked at her from time to time.

That person is Zhou Fang, a famous celebrity who has won the championship for two consecutive times. He heard that his university studies have been delayed again and again, and he may not be able to graduate as scheduled this year.Although it has been a long time since I practiced with the Kyoto Star Club, I occasionally heard rumors of current celebrities from Mr. Ise there.Although Zhou Fang Jiuzhi is recognized as a player with a strong sense of cards, he is also recognized as a problem child in the kappa world.Shi Chang, who was dealing with him in public for the first time, did not like him, and always felt that the pair of slender eyes staring at her from behind were full of creepy feeling.

"Although you have a lot of affection for Gepai, you have no affection for people."

Holding the heavy trophy, Shi Chang heard the man whisper behind her.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm just the opposite of you. I don't have much affection for Gepa, but I am very interested in people."

Shi Chang looked at Zhou Fang, not understanding the deep meaning behind the man's smile, but she also didn't want to understand, so she turned around, intending to turn around and leave.

"Hey, do you want to exchange email addresses?"

Shi Chang stopped in her tracks, looked back at Zhou Fang who half-jokingly took out his mobile phone, and couldn't help feeling a little angry in his heart.

"Are you angry? You're so cute." The slender man lowered his head faintly, showing a subtle fox-like smile, "Miss Wakamiya, maybe you don't have any other numbers in your address book except family members."

And the teacher from the former Karaoke Association... It seems that this is not something worth talking about.

"Sorry, I hate you."

"Eh?" Zhou Fang frowned, showing an exaggerated expression, "But it's also good, for Miss Wakamiya who has no feelings, being hated is a big improvement."

Enough is enough, man.

"Compared to the always aggressive former queen, Miss Wakamiya is a little cuter, I like it very much."

Ignore, ignore, take that as a boring speech from a boring person.

"It's just that in the future, if someone touches the deepest layer of your heart..." Zhou Fang's deep eyes flickered slightly, "Don't fall in love with him easily."

"..."

"Love is a very hurtful thing."

Zhou Fangjiuzhi, like a prophecy, saw through her next life trajectory with just one glance.

Sure enough, she hated that man.

……

"Shi Chang, are you okay?"

The new question brought Shi Chang back to her thoughts. She took a deep breath, put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, faced Xin, and stood in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Xin looked up, looking at her uncertain expression buried under her bangs.

After a long time, Shi Chang's mouth rolled into a self-deprecating smile: "Really, Xin, if you continue like this, it will make me very troubled."

Xin, who didn't understand the meaning of the girl's words at all, thought that he had offended the other party somewhere, so he stood up nervously, and the ice bag in his hand made a crackling sound.

Shi Chang and Xin stood facing each other with a distance, when Xin leaned out to her uneasily, the girl's slender arms suddenly moved towards him, and grabbed the corner of his coat lowly.

"If you continue like this, maybe I will fall in love with you."

In the empty room, Shi Chang's youthful tone echoed.The slanting evening sun extended into the room from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the sight of the girl slowly raising her head and her dark bangs hanging on her forehead.

Xin's mind was blank, and his back was straight and stiff, allowing Shi Chang to gently pull the corner of his clothes.

He saw that pale arm was covered with blue blood vessels, and an emotion that he didn't know whether it should be called surprise or trance arose spontaneously in his heart.

In the flowing youth, no one has seized the second that came quietly.

Then, something happened suddenly.
