The day after the end of the East and West Japan preliminaries is the annual Halloween.

Colorful neon lights are hung on the street, reflecting the cold winter streets brilliantly.Passers-by in down jackets hurried along, mingling among the crowd, tightly wrapping the scarves around their necks to prevent the cold wind from entering the seams of their clothes.

Originally, he planned to return to Fukui on yesterday's night bus with the seniors of Nagumo Kai, but after the match, under Taichi's strong insistence, he had to let the other party be dragged to the hospital for a check of his shoulder injury.Probably due to the fact that I have been holding back and forcing myself for a day, the injury that should have been seen to recover seems to have aggravated. The seniors of the Nanyunhui showed distressed expressions. It was ostentatiously bound with a white stationary bandage.

"Don't overuse your right hand for a week, the injury will worsen."

At the end of the long corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, a small light was on in the dark examination room.A group of people clustered there, chattering loudly.

As for the mystery of why Xin died heroically after arriving in Kyoto one day earlier, everyone in the Nanyunhui expressed their incomprehension.Even if he was asked himself, he just pretended to be relaxed and smiled, vaguely.As a result, waves of noise rang out from the closed outpatient ward, until the head nurse on duty caught the attention, and everyone covered their mouths under that fierce old face.

"Even if it's Mashima-sensei's son, it's too shameful for him to be on such an early night!"

In the end, the person who was criticized became Taiyi. After he apologized to the head nurse who has always been strict with himself on behalf of all the people in Nanyunhui, everyone embarrassedly let go of the new questioning and went to catch up with him. Take the bus back to Fukui.

Xin was asked to stay in the hospital for observation for one night, and he will be discharged tomorrow, so the trip back to Fukui was postponed for one day.At this moment, he was standing on the other side of the zebra crossing, staring at the flashing red signal lights in a daze.

The surrounding small restaurants have been decorated with pumpkin lanterns for lighting, and the orange halo looks extra warm in the windy and snowy weather.

He rubbed his reddened nose, and tried to turn his shoulder fixed by bandages a few times.

At this moment, someone stabbed him in the back.

"Shi Chang, why are you here!"

Turning her head, Xin saw Shi Chang was holding an umbrella, aiming at her waist with a long paratrooper, with an expressionless expression on her face.

She pointed to the uphill road across the street, and silently replied: "My house."

At this time, he noticed that Shi Chang was wearing a school uniform, and it seemed that he was on his way back from get out of class.The coat of the coat is still the one seen before, with several layers of scarves wrapped around her neck, and the plush earmuffs of Snowman Pills on her ears.

Some memories hit his new mind, and he suddenly remembered the incomprehensible and strange words that Shi Chang said to him in Tai's family.At first I thought it was Shi Chang's usual prank, but it seemed that something was wrong.I had put all my attention into the game before, and that matter was almost fading out of my mind, but at this moment, when I suddenly remembered, Xin felt at a loss.

Facing Shi Chang with a cold expression in front of him, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment, not knowing where to start.

Shi Chang probably noticed it, so she looked away, and said to the green light that had started to flash over there, "Do you want to go?"

"What, what?"

"my home."

The black seaweed-like hair was gently lifted by a gust of cold wind, and Xin saw Shi Chang's eyes lit up with a ray of light like broken stars.

When Taiyi received a new call, the waiter had already handed him his third cup of coffee.

After class, he has been sitting in this family restaurant.There was a tall stack of review materials on hand, with the exam outline circled on it.The date of the East-West representative match was set on that Sunday in mid-November, and that day was also the day of the college joint mock exam. The test results this time will undoubtedly test his possibility of being admitted to Kyoto University in the future. Needless to say, such an important exam His mother, and even his father, would have thought the absence was absolute nonsense.So he actually has no way to go to Omi Shrine to cheer for Chihaya, and he hasn't told anyone about it.

When he learned that Xin Zhe Dao went to Shi Chang's house, Tai Yi seemed a little surprised.Although I don't know how good the relationship between those two people is, Taichi finds it a little strange that they didn't even come to the parting dinner they had agreed to.

He put away his mobile phone and saw Lihua pushing open the door of the restaurant with her schoolbag on her back.The wind chime by the door jingled, and the waiter enthusiastically said the established line of "Welcome" to the new little guest almost immediately.Taiyi rubbed his sore eye sockets, then raised his hand towards Lihua who was looking around to find him.

The rain in Tokyo lasted all night, and it didn't stop until the early morning of Halloween.

Chihaya lay on the stove, lazily resting her chin on the table, staring blankly at the pot of mandarin oranges in the center.If her schoolbag hadn't been thrown aside, she almost felt that if she turned on the TV now, she might be able to watch the Red and White Singers Conference. (Note: Japan's traditional TV program on New Year's Eve every year is equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala of □□)

This year's winter has been extremely cold, and the cold rain has aggravated the atmosphere.Although I will completely forget this coldness when playing Kara Pai, but once my body stops for a while, this feeling will return to my body.

A full day had passed since becoming a representative of East Japan, and Chihaya still felt as if she was in a dream.The memory of the previous period seemed to have suddenly disappeared. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she could only see a blank space.

She was really tired, Chihaya had put such a label on herself.Even if it's just today, let her be lazy.

Thinking of this, she threw her head back and fell backwards. Just after stretching her limbs and yawning exaggeratedly, her sister Chitose's upside-down exquisite face appeared in her sight.

Chihaya Gulu turned over at once, her lower body still curled up in the stove.When she saw Chitose who had taken off his coat and was only wearing a thin dress, she suddenly felt a chill hit her soles.

"Sister, won't you be frozen to death!"

"Qianzao, have you been lying here for a whole day!"

Just after the two sisters roared at the same time, they looked at each other tacitly with the eyes of looking at aliens.

"Speaking of which, what happened to that incident?" Chitose sat on the sofa with a puff, and threw the question to his sister.

Chihaya tilted her head, with a confused expression on her face: "What happened?"

Faced with his sister's natural stupor, Chitose felt inexplicably angry.She blushed and said angrily, "It's the thing you asked me before, what is 'like'."

"Oh, that one."

"Yes, that's right." Chitose raised his eyebrows, feeling a little dissatisfied with Chihaya's unenthusiastic response, but still suppressed his anger, and said calmly, "So since you have someone you like, why don't you talk about it?" It's time to give up this kind of weird hobby, ordinary men don't like to see these things. Buy some clothes, buy a few pairs of shoes, and dress yourself up beautifully, that's the truth..."

However, Chitose's "love teaching" was not over yet, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Chihaya.She lazily turned her body 180 degrees, raised her hands and responded, "It's okay, that person is also a card player."

Chitose almost bit his own tongue.

After a few seconds of reaction, she shouted with an extremely exaggerated expression: "What! Are all the men in this world dead!"

Chihaya looked at her furious sister, a little puzzled why she was angry.But more thoughts stopped suddenly after the other party asked the next sentence.

"Say, who is that person?"

who is it……

Chihaya was stunned for a moment, at this moment there were several overlapping shadows in her mind.She opened her mouth, but couldn't say the name of that shadow.

White mist rose from the teacup in front of Xin, and a tea leaf stood up, which seemed to indicate some kind of auspicious omen.But when Shi Chang said the next sentence, let alone tea, Xin almost forgot how to breathe.

"Well, the previous one was not a joke, but I liked you."

Fortunately, Xin swallowed the imported tea he just drank, otherwise he would definitely spit it out at this moment, not a drop left.

Facing Shi Chang who calmly drank a sip of tea, Xin froze on the spot.

In fact, unlike the indifference on the surface, Shi Chang will become very enthusiastic about the things she likes.Although such a girl might seem a bit too strange to others, she didn't care, as if once she decided on something, she would devote herself to it.Gepai is also good, and snowman pills are also good.

So after going through that series of events, she struggled with her rationality and sensibility, and then clearly realized that, well, she likes new.

She didn't intend to deny this fact.

As if a door opened in an unknown life, Shi Chang stood by the door, constantly looking at the new scenery inside the door.In this regard, she felt happy physically and mentally, so she obeyed her most instinctive feeling, and she would not blush like ordinary girls.

However, regarding this issue, Xin does not seem to be as calm as Shi Chang.

He repeatedly moved his erratic eyes, not knowing where to look, and his overlapping fingers rubbed unconsciously, his cheeks burned red, and fine beads of sweat continued to ooze out from his forehead.

He is restless.

To be honest, this is the first time that Xin has lived in this world for 18 years, and it is the first time that a girl has said the word "like" to him.

What's more, that object turned out to be Shi Chang.

He lost his usual calm.

The awkward atmosphere lingered between the two people who were thinking about different things for a while, and finally Shi Chang stood up, turned around and walked towards the Japanese room behind him.Not long after, she came back with a box of cards, and knelt down in front of Xin who was still restless.

"Come to play card games?"

"That, that, Shi Chang, it seems that now is not the time to play Gepai..." Xin blushed and scratched the back of his head in a panic.

"why?"

"This..." Xin felt that his breathing became a little short, his eyes were completely occupied by Shi Chang's ink-colored pupils, and he could almost see the hot self from the other's eyes.

"Too, too close..."

"what?"

"Shi Chang, you are too close!"

When she was newly experiencing the greatest embarrassment in her life, Chihaya also yelled "ah" to her angry-eyed sister in a residential area far away in Tokyo.

Just after Chitose asked "Who is that person?" Chihaya hesitated for a long time, then yelled loudly.And more than once, the cries of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Chitose was completely dumbfounded, she didn't know which play her sister was singing, or what was suddenly possessed by her soul.After a blank silence, she cautiously walked in front of Chihaya, crouched beside her and shook her stiff shoulders.

"Chihaya, are you still alive?"

Chihaya has become accustomed to her sister's poisonous tongue, completely ignoring her.

She became silent, as if she was thinking about a question very seriously, which shocked Chitose a bit.

In Chitose's memory, the only time my sister could put on that expression on weekdays was when she sat cross-legged in front of the TV after watching the video of the chubby girl countless times.While putting on such an expression, Chihaya would mutter to herself, "Why can I wave my hand so low", "Why", "Why"...

Chitose can't understand her sister's world, just like a normal earth person can't understand aliens.

Yes, she has always felt that Chihaya is actually a strange species that accidentally landed on the earth.

"Hey, my sister did say that at that time." The strange species suddenly spoke, which brought Chitose back to his senses, "If there is one person who makes me feel more important than Utaruta, that is the best proof of 'like' Yeah?"

Chitose nodded violently: "Is there such a person around Chihaya?"

"No."

The resolute denial made Chitose feel like a fool for being so hot about his sister's love affair just now.

"Because geruduo is geruduo, and people are people. Geruduo and people are completely different existences." Chihaya gave her own answer.

This answer shocked Chitose. She opened her mouth and looked at Chihaya, as if she wanted to find an answer from her natural smile. Why did this person's EQ improve by leaps and bounds overnight!

"Although they are different existences, they are similar in essence. When playing Kapai, you will be devoted and forget yourself, especially when you grab the cards, you will feel very happy. Of course, when you lose Sometimes I will be disappointed, unwilling, and sad, and all those messy things are piled up here, sister." Chihaya held her head, the expression on her face was a bit complicated, and it was hard to tell whether it was sadness or joy.

"But it's precisely because of this that I like Geliudao."

Chitose opened her eyes wide. In Chihaya's words, she seemed to be able to understand her deep meaning from her suddenly enlightened expression.

"So falling in love and liking shouldn't be something that can make people feel happy and happy, but at the same time feel sad and sad?" Chihaya paused for a second, looked into her sister's eyes and said, "Like someone , It should be the same feeling, I... am I right?"

Chitose was stunned, not knowing how to respond: "Yes, no, how do I know such an answer, I also said that I have never liked anyone before."

"Ah, really." Chihaya nodded.

"Hey, what are you approving there! It's not that I, I haven't experienced the level of 'like' at all!"

"But my sister didn't just say that..."

"You don't care! If I say no, then I won't!"

As if he felt that he had lost to Chihaya, a kapai idiot whose mind was full of kapai, Chitose felt a momentary sense of frustration.But when the dispute between the two subsided, when she dragged her tired body upstairs, she suddenly turned her head to look at Chihaya's back as if thinking of something.

Hey, that kid, do you already have someone you like?

Taiyi and Lihua finished their dinner in the family restaurant and walked side by side on the way home.The two of them have walked this road countless times, but the atmosphere tonight seems a little depressed.

The new missed appointment made Li Hua put on a bad face throughout the meal, and complained from time to time, "I am so lucky that I went to the arena to cheer".Taiyi looked at his sister's sullen expression, and sighed silently in his heart.

People in the Mashima family are probably doomed to stumble on the road of love. It seems that although this fact is cruel, it is always inevitable.

Could it be that he was degraded in the previous generation?

For some reason, Taiyi imagined it negatively.

The "beep beep" call interrupted this silent journey home, Taiyi took out the phone from his pocket, and the incoming call showed "Xin"'s name.

"Hey, Xin, what's the matter, are you calling at this time?"

Taiyi responded in a very normal tone, but unexpectedly, after a low "squeak" on the other end of the phone, there was a new and unprecedented urgent voice.

"Taiyi, help!"

Tai Yi was also stunned by this abnormal call for help. He stopped and said nervously to the person on the other end of the phone: "What happened? Where are you?"

"Outside Shi Chang's house, what should I do? I can't think of anyone else who can talk about it. I..."

This was the first time Taichi saw Xin who was so flustered and bewildered.

"what happened?"

"There...someone, she, she..." Xin hesitated for a long time, until Taichi once again stabilized his emotions, he tried hard to swallow the astringency that was choked in his throat, took a deep breath and said, "T-I confessed, Tai Yi, what should I do, I was confessed."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "click" in the receiver, and the noise on the other end of the phone disappeared, leaving only a busy tone of "beep beep beep".

What Xin didn't know was that when Tai Yi heard his words, the light in his eyes disappeared instantly.As if the brain had been evacuated, the blood in the whole body went against the current.

He suddenly spread his legs and ran towards somewhere.

The strong wind blew through Tai Yi's coral-colored hair, and the Halloween jack-o-lanterns shone dottedly on both sides of the street.
