A subtle awkwardness filled the air until Tohko suddenly broke the silence with a seemingly casual but slightly meaningful question: "Hey, what are you majoring in at school?"
Shiraishi was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Statistical science." It seemed to arouse Tohko's interest. She raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to ask: "Is that mathematics?" Tohko's eyes still did not leave the phone screen, but there was more inquiry in her tone.
"There are some similarities." Shiraishi explained. Then, Tohko changed the subject and asked about the interesting things about science students and pi, which surprised Shiraishi a little, but he also answered truthfully the length of pi that he could recite.
"Then maybe it's just right." Tohko's words were a little mysterious. She suddenly turned the phone screen to Shiraishi, and it showed a string of eleven digits of phone number, starting from 090.
Before Shiraishi could fully react, Touko had already started counting down in a brisk voice: "3, 2..." The voice was like the breeze in the summer afternoon, with a hint of subtle playfulness.
"1, 0! Okay, time's up." As Touko's words fell, she quickly took back her phone, and the content on the screen was hidden again. Shiraishi felt an inexplicable urge to take another look at the number, but Touko had already refused: "There is only one chance, and the light bulb seems to be here too."
Before the voice fell, a light footsteps came from far away, and Mai's figure appeared in their sight. Her appearance was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and bright.
After a brief greeting, Mai noticed the empty seat next to Shiraishi and asked about the person he had just talked to. Shiraishi pointed to the empty bench and explained, "As you can see, she is talking to Miss Kirishima Touko..."
However, Touko had disappeared without a trace like a ghost, as if she had never existed.
Mai and Shiraishi looked at each other in silence, and everything around them became so unreal. Mai also tried to find Touko's trace, but in the end, she found nothing. Both of them had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, as if they had just experienced a wonderful dream.
Changing the topic, Shiraishi mentioned to Mai about Akagi and how he accidentally met her ex-boyfriend. After hearing this, Mai's eyes flashed with concern, and she suggested, "In this case, let's talk about it in detail on the way back."
However, Shiraishi suddenly proposed to go back to his hometown. He had an indescribable concern in his heart-although all the items in his hometown had been cleared, he believed that his parents might still remember something about Yumi.
Mai heard this and instead of objecting, she suggested going with him because she wanted to visit Shiraishi's home again. Shiraishi was a little surprised by her decision, but also felt a little warm.
So, the two decided to buy beaker pudding as a snack on the way at Yokohama Station and set off on the journey to Shiraishi's hometown together.
Along the way, Shiraishi'sHis mood was complicated. He was looking forward to getting clues about Yushi from his parents, but he was afraid to face those memories that might touch his pain.
Shiraishi gently pressed the intercom button next to the doorbell of his hometown. About five seconds later, a familiar and warm voice came through the speaker: "Hello?" There was a hint of surprise and surprise in the voice. "It's me, Shiraishi." Shiraishi put his face close to the small screen of the intercom, trying to make his smile clear and visible.
Ah, I'll open the door now. On the other end of the intercom, his father's voice was full of relief and expectation. As the call ended, brisk footsteps came from the house, which was his father's unique rhythm.
The door lock turned gently, making a pleasant sound, and then the door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a road leading to home.
Behind the door appeared the slightly hurried figure of his father, one foot casually wearing slippers, and the other barefoot, obviously disrupted by Shiraishi's sudden visit.
He wore a collared shirt and casual trousers, and he maintained his unique neatness and rigor even on weekends.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" His father's words were full of surprise and concern. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Can't my son come back if he's fine?" Shiraishi asked with a smile, with a hint of mischief in his tone (Qian Dehao), as if telling his father that home would always be his warmest harbor.
"That's not what I meant..." The father hurriedly explained, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a gentle voice.
"Hello, uncle, long time no see." Mai walked out gracefully from behind the door. Her appearance was like a breeze, instantly blowing away the embarrassment in the air. Her smile was like the warm spring sun, warm and bright, making her father couldn't help but smile.
"Ah, hello. What? So Miss Mai came with you." The father obviously did not expect Mai's arrival, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but it was soon replaced by joy. .
