Let's rewind a few minutes.

inside the carriage.

front row.

At that time, Miura and Hayama and their group had just entered the bullet train and were about to choose their seats.

Without exception, Miura chose to sit closer to Hayama.

Ebina wore his usual smile, but he had already sat down.

The Minister of Revenue, who was standing there, hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Yui, on the other hand, would occasionally glance back.

Each of them seemed to have their own worries on their minds.

"Yui, please sit down."

Miura spoke up to remind him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Yumiko, I won't sit with you."

Yui left behind those words, and then, under the slightly surprised gazes of the others, quickly carried the suitcase and walked away.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Miura paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and showed an expression of "I knew it."

Ebina smiled knowingly and teased:

"Lately, I feel like the silly, naive Yui from before is gone forever."

"Huh? Even so, she's still our friend." Miura clearly didn't accept this argument, saying with a smug look on his face, "Besides, I think she's still the same as before."

"Hi hi hi."

Ebina nodded helplessly, and at that moment, a girl in the class also sat down.

She took the opportunity to promote her "BL literature".

The Ministry of Revenue remained silent, so he had no choice but to sit diagonally opposite Ebina.

……

?

"really?"

Caijia's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. "But you don't know what I'm expecting. Although I'm happy that you said that, you still shouldn't make such a promise so easily."

indeed so.

A promise made without thinking may be romantic, and may even be judged as a steadfast commitment to a certain emotion.

But if you can say it without thinking.

Aren't promises and vows just as cheap as jokes made without any thought?

It's a bit unfair to those who truly care and think about it seriously.

Hikigaya took a deep breath, and a whitish cloud of vapor instantly filled the warm room.

"...You're right, so I'll answer your question later."

"Then I'll leave it to you. You'd better answer carefully."

Caijia smiled easily, then turned to the other side with concern and asked:

"Speaking of which, don't you think he was acting a little strange today? He seemed... a bit cold?"

After hearing what Ayaka said, Hachiman got goosebumps too.

He and the other person shared the same, or even deeper, feelings.

But what can he do?

Hachiman began to ponder in his mind.

Or should I tell him a few lame jokes later?

Just as he began to ponder, a beautiful figure in cherry blossom pink walked over.

have to.

We don't need him anymore.

"Xiao Qing, hello!"

Yui raised her delicate pink hand, her red eyes sparkling like rubies.

"Good morning."

Su Qing turned his gaze, and the light reflected from the ruby ​​slipped into his dark eyes.

Perhaps because she had been looking at the light outside the window for too long, the girl's bright eyes were not adjusted for a moment.

—If a cliff completely swallows up the light, does that mean it has always longed for light to shine down?

Like a traveler in the desert, unwilling to let go of any drop of water.

Or perhaps there has always been a lonely person at the bottom of the cliff, waiting for a ray of light to appear.

The cliff is just too steep, and countless trees of all sizes grow there.

So that person simply never received the ray of light that belonged to him?

The process by which vision moves from a dark place to a bright place is called light adaptation.

It usually takes a normal person tens of seconds to complete this process.

But Su Qing only needs a few seconds.

But those few seconds made him lose his focus without realizing it.

—The scene of my first meeting with Yui flashed through my mind like frames from an old movie.

"Is this a seat for anyone? May I sit here?"

Only when the girl leaned slightly forward, the scent of cherry blossoms lingering in her nostrils, did Su Qing come back to her senses and simply say,

"sit down."

"Okay, I'll put my suitcase down first, heave-ho."

Yui smiled brightly, and then began to put away her suitcase.

A pink suitcase covered with cute stickers quickly blocked the girl's view, and upon closer inspection, her arms were trembling slightly.

It was clearly not that easy for her, but judging from her posture, Yui alone was enough.

But in the next instant, a beam of pure white light shone brightly into her world.

The light was warm and pure; Yui could even clearly see the tiny particles in the air, though she didn't know what they were.

But now, it was unexpectedly shrouded in a layer of radiance.

It is reddish-gold.

"Let me do it."

Su Qing's words were as concise as before.

They are incredibly economical with words.

What's wrong with saying a few more words?

Yui nodded vigorously, not holding back with Su Qing at all.

After Su Qing sat down, she sat down as well.

Then he started rambling on and on, talking to himself:

"Ah~ It's finally a bit warmer. It was so chilly when I woke up this morning, I almost wanted to stay in bed! The bus the school sent was so stuffy, and the air even smelled a bit bad. Yumiko and I couldn't stand it, and now I'm still a little dizzy. Hime is almost throwing up, so I quickly told her to throw up on Yumiko, not on me!"

"and then?"

Su Qing asked without even looking at him.

"Then I got hit by Yumiko! Don't let her being a girl fool you, she's really strong. I wonder if all tennis players are like her."

Yui chattered away, like a carefree canary.

The cheerful sound didn't have any special melody, but to Su Qing, it sounded like a beautiful song.

"Where did you hit? Let me see."

Su Qing finally turned around.

They didn't wear their thoughts on their sleeves, so it was impossible to tell whether they were concerned or mocking.

"Um...it's a bit inconvenient to see, it's...the butt."

Yui clasped her ten fingers together, not daring to look at Su Qing's face.

Her face had a light pink tint.

"so..."

Su Qing's calm voice came through the phone; in the past, he would have smiled at this time.

But not today.

"Speaking of which, things aren't going very well with the Ministry of Revenue. Shall we wait for Kyoto to lend a hand?"

Yui asked.

"Just let things take their course. I have plans for the future."

Su Qing said.

"it is good."

Yui nodded.

The topic has come to a temporary close.

After a while.

Yui suddenly started talking to herself, almost as if she were explaining...

"Everyone seems so excited when it's time for a school trip, and they talk a lot more than usual. But I didn't sleep well last night, so I prefer to sit in the quieter back."

Su Qing ignored Yui and instead took out a box of bayberries from her bag on the ground, handing the whole box to her, saying, "Suck on these to prevent motion sickness."

"I hope no one gets motion sickness!"

Yui accepted it and retorted.

"...I'm also afraid you'll throw up on me."

Su Qing thought for a moment and then said.

"I would never do that!" Yui said with certainty, but her voice was surprisingly soft.

She held the bayberries in her hands, her eyes slightly curved.

The pair of bright rubies were now somewhat cloudy.

It seems as if she is reminiscing about the past.

After a while, she took out a bayberry and carefully put it in her mouth.

She was probably afraid of losing it and being laughed at by Su Qing.

After sucking on it for a while, she thought it tasted delicious.

The bayberries used to be sour, but today they tasted sweet.

its not right.

Isn't that sweet candy?

As Yui thought this, she magically pulled a whole bag of candy from her pocket and smiled brightly at Su Qing, her smile radiant with pure innocence.

"Xiao Qing, here's some candy for you!"
