The author has something to say:

After playing until about nine o'clock in the evening, everyone said goodbye.

When Lin Qiao put on his shoes in the entrance and stood up straight, he saw Huiyu Lefu standing in front of him.

"Shall I take you home?"

"It's okay... I'll just go with everyone."

Lin Qiao turned around and wanted to say that almost all of his classmates were going the same way, but when he turned around, he found that the group of unscrupulous people had long since disappeared, and Rina Aoki, who was left behind, only showed a very ambiguous look at Lin Qiao and Hui Yu from the crack of the door. smiled, and then quickly closed the door and followed the seniors to escape.

Lin Qiao looked away in embarrassment, and turned to the shoes on his feet.She seldom wears sandals, so her skin that has hardly been exposed to the sun is white and transparent, and her toes that are exposed outside the shoes are small like beautiful little grapes... Gray feathers follow her gaze He lowered his head to look, and then raised his eyes with feverish ears, just in time to meet Lin Qiao's gaze.

Lin Qiao didn't speak, but nodded, and then quickly turned her head away so that no one would notice her suddenly hot cheeks.

I have never felt that the way home is so far away, as if there is no end.Unreasonable silence will prolong the time and distance infinitely-I don't know what to say, or it seems that no matter what topic I talk about, it seems wrong.As long as the eyes collide accidentally, it feels like breaking a glass silently. There is an invisible shard of broken glass lying in the middle, and the two people who have finally pulled into the distance forcibly seem to be separated by the Milky Way. Disassembled remotely.

Lin Qiao had no choice but to distance herself from Hui Yu absent-mindedly. As a result, her high-heeled feet were not as sharp as imagined, and she accidentally twisted her body, causing her to lose her center of gravity and fall to the side in an ugly way.

It didn't hurt anywhere, but when Hui Yu quickly held her arm and straightened her crooked body, her bare forearm felt the scorching temperature of his fingertips, and she almost put the previous fingertips in place. My heart was beating wildly as I watched.

The orange street lamps in the night illuminated a small section of the road, and two black shadows leaned quietly at their feet.

Lin Qiao cleared his throat and was about to say something, but for some reason, the streetlight above his head flickered twice, then went out with a bang, and then, like a domino being pushed, slipped down the road. All the streetlights flickered a few times in the dying struggle and then dimmed silently.

Together with the surrounding residential houses, the electricity was cut off, and the area within a range was plunged into boundless darkness.It seems that a large area of ​​the circuit has tripped, and immediately some unidentified residents came out of their homes with flashlights and asked each other about the situation with their neighbors.

Girls are more or less afraid of the dark.

Huiyu Lev hadn't realized what was going on, when he heard a conditioned scream from the side.

He didn't even think about it, as soon as he moved his hands vigorously, he directly pulled the girl next to him and stuffed it into his arms.

Lin Qiao's scream that had just blurted out was blocked on the chest that was accidentally pulled over by a certain force and hit her chest before it could escape from her throat. Her nose was hit very painfully. Patting her on the back seemed to be comforting, but the strength in his hand was neither light nor heavy, almost shaking her to vomit blood. He heard her finally unbearably coughing twice before softening the strength, becoming Became a clumsy appeasement.

The fear at that moment just now is stuck somewhere in the beating heart, and after a few seconds of fermentation in the dark, it has become a kind of soft peace of mind.

...Anyway, I can't see it now with the lights off...

Lin Qiao also hesitated and wanted to put his hand on Hui Yu's back quietly.

Her hand was raised halfway hesitantly, frozen in mid-air, not knowing whether to continue or not.Closing her eyes apprehensively in his arms, she finally mustered up the courage to hug this clumsy big boy.

She could feel Hui Yu's comforting hand on her back suddenly paused, followed by a few panicked breaths from his chest, and finally, Hui Yu gradually calmed down, and her two hands finally settled into a hugging posture , the strength in the hand tightened gently bit by bit.

Lin Qiao suddenly thought of a passage she had read in a book - "If the lights are turned off in the whole world, you don't need to rush to find the switch first. Just hug me and make me feel that I am not fooled in the dark." Just throw it away."

Probably, that's what it feels like.

Lin Qiao wrapped his arms around Hui Yu's back quietly amidst the commotion around him. The front of his clothes was full of sunlight, and he felt as if he was hugging a very docile, fluffy and warm lion.

In this sense of security that makes people feel down-to-earth, Lin Qiao blurted out almost subconsciously.

"Lev, I..."

At this moment, the sight regained its brightness, and the noisy cheers around him blocked Lin Qiao's unfinished words.

Her hand slid down from behind his back, she took a step back, and distanced herself from Huiba Lefu.

Hui Yu tilted his head and scratched his silver-gray hair, the temperature in his chest still made his heart beat faster.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Qiao who was turning his head away. Seeing her long eyelashes fluttering restlessly, he really wanted to get to the bottom of what she had just said, but he didn't know why, but he was obedient. Shut up—maybe Lev Huiba also unconsciously understood when to insist and when to give in, sometimes it’s not just going forward blindly that can knock the girl’s tight lock open with a stupid brute force heart door.

But now, wait, wait quietly and patiently.

"...When you want to tell me, let's talk about it."

When Hui Yu sent Lin Qiao to the door of the house, he suddenly said such a sentence to the back of Lin Qiao who had taken a few steps.

Lin Qiao held the doorknob in a daze for a moment, turned his face sideways, looked at the tall and handsome boy standing beside the cherry tree with his back straight and motionless, hooked the corners of his mouth, nodded and said yes, and then Turned around and entered the house.

At the end of the summer vacation, Lin Qiao accompanied his grandfather to the hospital for a routine physical examination, and met Hotaru Tsukishima.

I haven't seen him for a long time... How long is a long time?This answer was so long that Lin Qiao couldn't even figure it out—it's just that she was very sure, whether it was out of habit or impression, she could always find this boy in the crowd at a glance, and she would never use it as a doubt Tone called out his name.

Lin Qiao once thought about the circumstances under which she would meet Hotaru Tsukishima, maybe at that time she still liked this boy who kept her heart beating agitated throughout her adolescence, the two of them met at the corner of the street, Or she accidentally watched a game with him, or met this boy who still likes strawberry cake in a cake shop.

I just didn't expect to be in the hospital.

She thought he was hurt somewhere.

"Oh...not me."

Tsukishima's expression was a little unnatural. It happened that a petite girl came out from the door of a consulting room, wearing a sky blue dress, walked up to Tsukishima, blinked her eyes timidly and pulled Tsukishima Hotaru's cuff, "I'm so sorry." Tsukishima-san... made you worry."

"No one is worried about you... At least, you have to be responsible for your own body, right? What's the matter with running to my house in the rain and waiting for me all night?"

"terribly sorry......"

Lin Qiao finally figured out what was going on from this clueless conversation.

She couldn't help laughing—as a bystander, it seems that it is always easy to recognize the warmth in other people's eyes, the softness in the tone, and the just right care in gestures, but it is always so dull when it comes to herself Unbearable.

"Hey!" Tsukishima twitched the corner of his mouth, "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally..." Lin Qiao coughed twice and stopped laughing, "Oh, it turns out that Yue Dao is gradually becoming a mature boy..."

"...What's the matter with your clichéd tone? Like an old nun who has lived for hundreds of years and sees things through the world..."

"...But Mr. Poison Tongue's venom is still there, congratulations——"

Lin Qiao gritted his teeth with a smile, pretending to be angry, but in fact there were no longer pulsating veins on his forehead.

Yes, everyone has grown up - Tsukishima Hotaru has finally learned a little bit of gentleness, and the care hidden in the spikes is gradually infiltrating everyone around him like a rising tide; Leo Huiba also understands If you need to slow down and wait for the girl you like, you can stand still and wait quietly for company, that is the most affectionate tenderness; everyone in the Yinju Volleyball Club has also grown up, and they are no longer frizzy. When you eat, you fight over each other or knock over the juice at hand. The topic has expanded from the unchanging volleyball to economics or politics or even further and deeper topics. When describing their respective futures, they are confident in strategizing; When they grow up, they will no longer be moved to tears by those sensational plots when watching movies. They prefer to read books in a quiet corner of the cafe, or meet to travel, saying that they want to go around, can't Then, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she was tricked into tears by the unrealistic scenes in the movie.

Everyone has settled down from the restless, green and frantic adolescence, whether it is an unfulfilled dream or a bitter secret love, they will be well sealed up and then take their own blueprints, and walk down-to-earth towards the once sixteen or seventeen-year-old. A future that people look forward to and worry about.

Lin Qiao herself has also grown up.

My hair grows, my mood becomes light, I put on high heels, the corners of my mouth turn upwards, I no longer stubbornly bump into the south wall to break my blood, I no longer push back with thorns all over my body, I want to reach out to her and hold her hand, and I have finally decided The peace of mind that she wants to chase wraps her temperature.

——It turned out that it didn't come from the moonlight that was as cool as water, but from the warm and warm sunflower.
