[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

At Christmas, the streets decorated with neon lights are bustling with people, countless sightseeing boats are moored in the port of Tokyo Bay, and famous-brand cars are shuttled on the Rainbow Bridge. The highly developed city is miniature under the snowy sky.This is the second heavy snowfall this year. It has fallen for three consecutive days since December 12, and the road covered with colorful lights is a vast expanse of white.

Sudou's father was pestered by his subordinates after get off work today, and dragged him, the newly appointed sales manager, to a famous izakaya near the company to drink till dawn.On the other hand, the class reunion that Sudou's mother hadn't gathered for 25 years happened to be arranged on this Christmas Eve. Sudeng's mother, who was carrying a small silver-white bag, dressed herself up in makeup early in the morning, and played with two hands boldly. The two stupid sons of Zhang Fuze and Yuji's family walked out of the house on high heels.

Regarding the matter of spending Christmas Eve at home alone with my brother, even if I gave Hiroto a wad of Fukuzawa Yukichi, I'm afraid he would shake his head and refuse with a bitter face. After all, this might be a life-threatening move.What's more, a few days ago, with the determination to die, he told his brother that he would officially join Ruize Geliu Duobu in the third semester after the New Year's holiday.

This Christmas Eve, Hiroto was very sad.

One month after the match was decided, everyone returned to their daily lives, but in some corners of the world, a small number of people's lives changed slightly.That kind of change is like a chemical effect, starting to pop colorful bubbles in everyone's ordinary life, allowing them to step into the next stage of their lives again.

Yui Toyama re-entered the studio.After three years, she finally picked up the paintbrush Yuichiro gave her again. This time, the work is a family portrait of her, her mother Haruko, and her father Yuichiro.

After losing the representative game that day, she thought she had lost her life.She sat in front of the long steps in the darkness, but she couldn't see the curious eyes cast on her.After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard someone standing in front of her, calling her name softly.

Looking up, the familiar face overlapped with the person who appeared on that lonely rainy night when I was in kindergarten.Although the man is no longer as young as he was back then, and his chiseled face has some wrinkles, but his big hand facing him has not changed, it is still so warm, so nostalgic.

"Xiao Wei, go home."

He said this to himself, and then, the tears that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time burst out unconsciously.

She hung the completed family portrait on the Christmas tree in the living room, and her hand, which hadn't had an animation pen for three years, seemed a little rusty, but Yuichiro stroked her head and said, "My daughter is really talented."

She no longer needs to fight for anything, now at this moment, she realizes that perhaps she has always been much happier than Wakamiya Shichang.

She has a complete family and loves her father and mother.Why has such a simple truth never been understood before?

She wrote a long letter and sent it to Kyoto. At the end of the letter, she signed it as "Sister Yui".

Yui Toyama's letter and Shin Miyatani's text message arrived at Shi Chang's home almost at the same time.

After reading this unexpected letter, Shi Chang turned her attention to the email on the phone screen.

That e-mail was also surprisingly long, and there were a lot of ramblings that were typical of teenagers who missed the point, and of course included some words of apology that were repeated countless times.

Shi Chang put down her phone, remembering the new call she received that night after talking with her mother that day.

He had obviously told him not to contact her if nothing happened, but he seemed to have completely forgotten about the problem, and kept talking to her in the noisy background.

Shi Chang can almost imagine what kind of expression he is talking to himself. He must be holding his forehead and blushing. Occasionally, when someone passes by him, he will turn around embarrassingly and put his figure against the wall as much as possible. overlapping.

It's because he's such an honest, good-natured person who can be seen through by others at a glance, that Shi Chang treats him differently.

"Can't it end in divorce?"

Shi Chang closed the phone, stretched out his limbs and lay down on the tatami in the shape of a "big" character, and then closed his eyes.

Even though she had judged herself to break this line before, she knew that there was no chance of winning if she continued now, but... ah, she still cared, probably because her body was full of mother's blood. Bar.

Forget it, let's try harder.

Shi Chang took a deep breath for a long time.

For the third time, the TV station's weather lady has broadcast the warning that night snow may fall in some parts of eastern Japan. However, on such a Christmas Eve, no one can stay at home at the kotatsu at home, quietly nibbling tangerines and watching funny Variety shows of entertainers.

Ginza, Roppongi, Kabukicho... Although not as prosperous as there, the small coffee shop is also filled with a warm atmosphere.

Mahiru and Tamano each ordered coffee and cake, and exchanged Christmas presents.The two have been in a smooth relationship for nearly three months. Although there are occasional unrecognizable baseball idiots in between, it seems that under the influence of such a delicate triangle relationship, the distance between each other has been drawn closer.After seeing off the seniors of the third grade, the responsibility of the minister was handed over to the second grader Tsukuba.It's just that maybe this is only temporary, because Yuye has made up his mind to take the title of "Minister" into his hands by proving his strength before he enters the second grade.

This kind of ambition is welcome in the eyes of the older generation of Ruize Geliu members.

After the tinkling of wind chimes, another group of people poured into the coffee room.After the waiter enthusiastically said "Welcome", he noticed that the leading figure wrapped in a thick down jacket looked like a big white bear.

Yusei Nishida seemed to have gained another two kilograms in this month, but he was still holding a big bag in his hand, which was filled with hot meat buns as expected.

The gathering of the Cuibei Club was arranged on Christmas Eve, which shows how lonely the president is.After Xiaozao and Komaye sat side by side, they noticed Tamano and Mahiru at the next table.

"Huh? Could it be that the Baibo Club's party is also in this cafe?" Said Nishida, who was ignorant of current affairs, while eating a meat bun.

In Ruize's Utabe, I don't know that Tamano and Mahiru are dating, and I am afraid that the only one who has always had no discernment is Nishida.After all, before this, the last one to find out that Taiyi likes Chihaya was also the correct person.

Aware of the embarrassing expressions of the two people who were caught by the seniors, Xiaozao smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, neither of them saw Chihaya."

"That's right, that guy Ayase doesn't seem to be in touch recently, so he must be busy with university admissions." Nishida raised his head and said speculatively.

Chihaya, who won the title of this year's Queen's Challenger, was spotted by a professional teacher at Naikawa University and was given the opportunity to be recommended for admission.This is undoubtedly great news for Chihaya who had no direction before.

When Taichi knew that Chihaya and Shin were going to go to the same university, he showed a faint smile.

Perhaps this is the fate of the three of them, separated from each other and yet closely connected to each other.He saw Chihaya's best three years in high school, and Xin will also witness her transformation from an ordinary high school girl to a social person.To be honest, at that moment, Tai Yi didn't feel jealous or apprehensive at all, what's more, he felt an indescribable sense of security.

That doesn't mean he doesn't care about Chihaya anymore.He thought that maybe it was because he had become more mature than before.

In the dark night sky covered with heavy snow, the electric waves intertwined overhead were transmitted silently.In Japan, no, in every corner of the world, there is a miracle called "sweetness".At that time, Tai Yi probably didn't realize that such a miracle would happen to him that day.

"Beep beep."

The young man who was buried in the review questions raised his head and turned his gaze to the bright machine at hand.

The words "Calling in the early morning" were displayed on the phone.

Dongxi means that in the month after the game, they mostly communicate by email, but rarely by phone.So Tai Yi was stunned for a moment, not thinking why he received her call today.

"Hello, Chihaya?"

There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and he couldn't hear the girl's voice clearly.

"Hey, where are you? Sorry, I don't have a good signal reception here." Tai Yi stood up while talking, and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling sliding window, trying to see how the signal outside was.

"Ka, ka... Hey, Taiyi! Did you hear that?"

Chihaya's voice pierced through Taichi's ears. He slightly moved the phone two or three centimeters away, and replied, "I can hear you. What's the matter, you seem to be panting, and you're running?"

"Idiot, today is Christmas Eve, you make me sound like a sports monster."

Taichi laughed lightly, he remembered that when he was in the club before, Chihaya always emphasized to the newcomers that Karuta was quite a physical exercise, and even led them to run five laps of the playground every day.He rubbed his hair, and replied: "You also know that today is Christmas Eve. I asked you to send me the Christmas card before, but I haven't received it yet."

"That oh..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Taichi replied in a tone of "knowing it a long time ago": "In exchange, when I visit the shrine in the New Year, I will cross the wish that you become a queen from my wish list. "

"Ah! Shi Taiyi! You threaten me!"

"Just kidding..."

Before Taiyi finished speaking, Qianzao hurriedly said: "Then is it still too late for you?"

"what?"

"Look down, look down."

The wind in Kyoto tonight is about force four, mixed with fine snow particles, and Taichi's hair is blown a little messy.Holding his mobile phone in a daze, he walked towards the terrace beyond the window.

He couldn't describe his mood at that moment, the screen of the phone was still flickering slightly, but his hand had already dropped to the side.

He saw directly below his balcony, a girl in an off-white coat was waving at him.Her hair was covered with white snow, and she was wrapped in a big red scarf. The smile on her face was as bright as she remembered.

"Taiyi, Merry Christmas!"

Hearing Chihaya's voice approaching, Tai's eyes turned red for a moment.

At that moment, he even felt that he could love this girl for the rest of his life.

When Chihaya went to Kyoto alone, Chitose opened the door of Chihaya's room in order to find the famous brand dress that she bought at a discount three months ago, but threw it to her sister because her wardrobe couldn't fit.

Then, she was stunned on the spot.

Chihaya's room seemed to have been robbed.The wardrobe was wide open, and colorful clothes were piled up on the bed in the shape of small mounds. The boxes dug out from under the bed were opened one by one, and the dusty boots were thrown everywhere.Of course, it wasn't just this pile of clothes that was spread all over the floor, photos from magazines, shojo manga, in short, some unknown objects that Chitose saw as incompatible with her sister appeared in her room.

With a frightened little heart in his arms, Chitose walked towards the pile of books like a kitten touching the ground.

Picking up a book at random, what catches my eyes are "Top Ten Romantic Holy Places for Christmas", "100 Examples of Dressing and Matching for a First Date", "Girl Manga Teach You the [-]% Success Rate Confession Rules"... and so on. Headline.

This time it wasn't just surprise, it was shock.

Chitose's mouth opened into a huge O-shape, the magazine fell from her hand weakly, and fell to the ground with a thud.The night sky outside was still lit with dots of lights, Chitose saw his own reflection reflected on the glass, and was speechless for a long time.

Based on the experience of having familiarized herself with several popular magazines and shojo manga, Chihaya now walks the streets of Kyoto with Taiichi confidently.

An ancient city does not mean old-fashioned, the traditional sense of art and the incomparable elegance of Tokyo make Chihaya feel like a deer in his heart.Although she has been here several times before, and even spent a school leave a year ago in a certain corner of the city, a feeling that she had never experienced before emerged spontaneously in her heart.She sneaked a glance at Tai Yi beside her from the corner of her eye, his face was so heroic and upright that her cheeks were immediately covered with a layer of blush.

Calculating, she hasn't seen Tai Yi for about two months.But the sense of distance that exists between them now, she instinctively wasn't caused by this blank time.She really wanted to get close to him, but once she walked half a minute, the uncontrollable tension in her heart would envelope her whole body.

Is it so scary?Obviously, the former self could hold his hand casually without any fear, ruffle his hair at will, and even throw himself on his back when he had nothing to do.But now, just the simple action of walking side by side will make Chihaya feel his blood surge.

Oops, she suddenly realized that this is a feeling that cannot be described in ordinary words.There is no logic, no order, random intrusion into the heart, and then a mess.

Taiyi noticed that Chihaya had stopped, he turned around and looked at Chihaya who was standing three meters behind him.

"Chihaya, are you okay?"

The voices that came through the earpiece before were absolutely not as lethal as this face-to-face. Tai Yi's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring of water, penetrating into every nerve and blood vessel of her.Chihaya didn't know how red her face was when she raised her head, but she felt a little dizzy when she looked at his burning eyes that were so close at hand.

No, Ayase Chihaya, you have to cheer up!

She shook her head for three seconds in a row, driving all the messy thoughts out of her mind.

"Taiyi, let's go!"

Chihaya returned to being a single-muscular creature again, and violently grabbed Taichi's arm.

She walked aggressively, without any scruples about the strange eyes cast on them by the men and women around her.

The destination is Liushita Park, one of the top ten romantic dating sites in Kyoto. I heard that every Christmas Eve, fireworks will be set off there all night. Every time it is on time, the music fountain in the center will play happy movements. Countless couples Hugging and kissing under the pool is one of the most popular spots for young people in Kyoto.

This is a gem that Chihaya got from her sister's pile of outdated popular magazines. For this, she even made a whole set of plans.

That's right, the purpose of her trip was to spend the most memorable Christmas Eve with Tai Yi and two people, and then confess to him at midnight.

During the two full months since Taiyi left, Chihaya finally discovered the secret in her heart.When she finally sorted out that period of chaotic emotions, somewhere in her mind, a small light bulb lit up.

She didn't know exactly when it started, but when she found out, she had already fallen in love with Taiyi.

"Take the tram... Hey, where is the bus stop here? No, it should be across the road... Strange, why is there such a building? Huh? Wait, wait a minute, could it be..."

When Chihaya rotated the map in her hand 360 degrees, she knew that she was undoubtedly... lost.

Leaving the confused Taiyi behind him, Chihaya wanted to dig a hole in the same place and bury herself.Such an unfavorable start greatly affected her confidence in this trip. She held her head and squatted in place, like a primary school student who made a mistake.

"Qianhao, do you want to eat this?"

Hearing Taiyi's voice behind him, Chihaya recovered from self-reflection.She silently turned her gaze, and saw the tall figure standing behind her leaning slightly, handing something in her direction.

It is a crepe studded with whipped cream and large strawberries.

The voices of people on the street seemed to stop for an instant, and Chihaya followed the warm hands stretched out to her, and saw the soft hair of the man in front of her.

His long eyelashes, gentle eyes, and slightly upturned lips.

It's like going back to many, many years ago. At that time, although they were always fighting, as long as they fell into depression, Taiyi would appear by his side in time, even if it was a small bag of snacks, or other small cakes, he I will always donate the money in my pocket to the aunt in the cafeteria without hesitation.

"Eat this and you won't be sad anymore."

At that time, the little Tai always stubbornly turned his head away, and stuffed those sweets into his arms.

After so many years, when they grew taller with each other and became enough to stand alone, he still stood by his side, and still gave him this insignificant little comfort.

Taiyi didn't know why Qianhao stayed in place like this, neither answering nor answering.He looked around in embarrassment, and found that even the uncle selling crepes in the mobile cart was staring at them, so he had to pull Chihaya up and run towards the corner.

Taiyi, who was holding his forehead while huddling in the corner of the wall, felt helpless, Chihaya seemed very unusual today.The way she looks at her is sometimes very excited, sometimes dodges, sometimes she yells and drags him to run around, sometimes she stands there with a bewildered expression on her face.

Could it be... pre-match mania.

Tai Yi could only guess like this.

"Well, Qianhao... Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. Even Senior Pingkou said that you have improved a lot, and you might be able to compete with the Queen. Everyone in the Baibo Club is full of confidence in you."

"..."

Seeing that Chihaya didn't answer, Taiyi was a little confused.He scratched the back of his head and said, "Then... when you visit the shrine in the New Year, I will wish you victory in the competition."

Chihaya still lowered her head in silence.

"Is, is it because of the matter of entering a higher school? There is a problem with the recommendation from Niechuan, or is it... with the new..."

"Idiot! Taiyi is a big idiot! You don't understand anything at all!"

Chihaya's sudden roar made Taiyi panic for a while.Before he recovered, he felt the strength in his hand lighten, and Chihaya snatched the crepe from his hand suddenly, and took a big bite as if venting.

After chewing heavily several times, Chihaya made an exaggerated swallowing gesture.Then, continue to nibble a few circles on the cake surface.

"Chihaya, are you okay..."

"..."

The girl in front of her was still gobbling.

Probably due to swallowing too fast, Chihaya accidentally choked on it, and then coughed violently.

Tai Yi's outstretched hand was hanging in the air, he didn't pat her on the back, but suddenly realized something at that moment.

Is it...

He stared at Chihaya, and a trace of disbelief flashed across his slightly shining eyes.

In the next second, he hugged Chihaya violently, and locked her body in his arms with the strength of his arms.

The coughing stopped abruptly, the bustling sound on the road resumed again, and the sound of selling crepes rushed back to Chihaya's ear sockets in an instant.

The crepe caught in the arms of the two had already died a heroic sacrifice. Chihaya opened her eyes wide, and suddenly felt a soreness welling up in her nasal cavity.At that moment, her mind was blank, only the words in her heart were left, ready to come out.

"Taiyi..."

"Ah."

"...I like you."

Too bad, the crepe blocked my mouth, and my mouth was full of sweet and greasy taste.

Taiyi didn't seem to care about Chihaya's embarrassment, he stretched out his hand, stroked the hair at the back of her head, and stroked it gently.

Chihaya's chin rested quietly on Taichi's shoulder, and through that layer of broad shoulders, watching the bustling night scene of Kyoto gradually became diffuse and illusory.

It turned out that his embrace was so reassuring.

I know for the first time.

Taichi and Chihaya ended the long hug when the crepe in their mouths was completely swallowed.The wet strawberry juice and white cream stained the coats on the chests of the two, forming a unique and beautiful scenery.

They blushed and smiled at each other.A whole row of lights flickered on overhead.

The snow fell very quietly, Taiyi took the hand of the girl beside him, and held her tightly for the first time.

"Want to ride the Ferris wheel?"

"Huh?" Chihaya tilted her head.

Taiyi raised a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why, didn't Chihaya come to Kyoto specially to find me on a date?"

"Ah! You bastard!"

The proud boy showed a slightly shy expression while talking. He reached out and brushed aside the girl's disheveled hair, allowing her eyes to appear more clearly in front of him.

Her swollen face looked like a ripe apple, and he knew for the first time that when she was angry, even Yintang would turn red.

The lingering street lights stretched into a long row of light shadows on the avenue, and the song that belonged to Christmas Eve floated in the air.With the bells disappearing in the night sky, Santa Claus driving an elk sleigh hides, looking down through the clouds and blessing those who are connected.

Perhaps he had already noticed the young man and woman clasping fingers on the streets of Kyoto, and at the same time made a good wish that they would never let go of each other for the rest of their lives.
