snowflake.

Akashi stood in the old house that had been passed down for an unknown number of years in his old home. Under his feet was the floor that had been worn down to the point of softening the reflection after years.The boy was walking under the wooden corridor, and a cold wind quietly drifted in the distance, bringing an intrusive chill.

Fortunately, Akashi is wearing quite a lot of clothes—a layer of cloak over the New Year’s formal suit, with thick fleece lining—according to Mochizuki Hitomi’s words, this dress is nice and warm, very suitable for people who spend the New Year in the mountains wear.

She will never be able to tell the difference between his hometown and the mountains, but forget it.

He didn't expect her to tell the difference either.

The old house of the Akashi family is very large.

The main house is a courtyard with several entrances and exits, and counting the side courtyards and those water and forest views, there are at least a hundred acres of land.From Akashi's point of view, there's nothing interesting here, it's all things that he's tired of seeing since he was a child, and there's nothing good about it other than being quiet.

It's better to go out and mess around with Mochizuki Hitomi.

After thinking of Hitomi Mochizuki, Akashi paused, turned around and went to the nearest pavilion.The pavilion is not too big, with hexagonal eaves, a table and a stool inside, a pool of spring water waiting to be blown next to it, and a crescent moon hanging in mid-air above its head.Sitting on the stone bench, Akashi thought in his heart that this is a suitable place to play a game of chess against himself, but that would seem lonely, if Mochizuki could make noise next to him, it would also balance the atmosphere.

But if it's Hitomi Mochizuki, he definitely doesn't like it here.

Because although the place is big, there are many winding roads, and Mochizuki’s head can’t remember it in a short time, and because of the large area, the geographical location at the foot of the mountain is too remote and cold, Mochizuki Hitomi's character must not be able to bear such loneliness.But if she really can't walk here, she can stay here, and tell herself like self-hypnosis that this place is very good, not only the scenery is beautiful, but the air is also very fresh and pleasant. During the day, there is snow and ice on the lake, and at night, there is a breeze and cicadas Ming, is a very suitable place for vacation.

Then she would pester him with every excuse to leave and go back to bustling Tokyo.

"Master, the master has called you over."

The red-haired boy whose thoughts were interrupted frowned slightly, looked at the person who appeared at some point, nodded and left.Speaking of which, this title has always been there. It sounded like nothing when I was a child, but I am not used to it now.

The reason is more or less due to Mochizuki Hitomi.

Akashi still remembers, when the person who picked him up after equestrian get out of class bowed and called him young master, how the group beside him, who couldn't even ride a horse steadily, covered his mouth, and finally couldn't hold back the "poof".

"True or not." The little girl forced her smile back when he turned his head back: "Well, I don't study much, and I haven't seen the world. Please, Master Akashi, don't care about me."

Mochizuki Hitomi spoke in a childish voice at that time, and when she apologized, she said every word seriously.But it was that sentence and those emerald eyes that made him feel awkward for the first time.

Very awkward.

At that time, my mother had not passed away, and she would prepare snacks for him to come home after every riding class, and then ask him how his day was and how he got along with the children.In this routine conversation that day, when he heard this question, he was a little dazed, thinking of Mochizuki Hitomi's secretly smiling eyes.

So my mother discovered his abnormality, thinking that he had quarreled with his friends.

In the next class, when he brought Mochizuki the small gift prepared by his mother, what he saw was an even more silly face than usual.She probably thought that she got this gift because she was cute, so she happily accepted it.

When he saw the defenseless smiling face, he was actually quite worried.

Why is it that the child of someone whom his father values ​​so much can keep laughing like this so foolishly.

At that age, he still had the so-called "fairness" concept in his mind, always thinking that maybe one day he could get the same treatment as Hitomi Mochizuki - for example, his father and mother would come to the racecourse to see him like Hitomi Mochizuki's parents, Or when you have time, the family of three will go to interesting places for a few days.This unrealistic fantasy persisted, and he carefully looked for opportunities to propose between the too strict father and the too soft mother.

Then one day he was reprimanded.

Being labeled as "not thinking on the right path", the stern eyes and merciless tone of his young father at that time were very clear in his memory, and the next day Mochizuki gave it to him with a smile. He brought a souvenir from abroad——because she was still in school at that time, Mochizuki Hitomi's father specially asked for leave for her, and took her to the island that was said to be the most beautiful in summer.

So every time Mochizuki Tong complained that his father didn't value her, he just wanted to laugh while listening.Of course, it is impossible for him to laugh, otherwise Mochizuki Tong doesn't know how to act like a monster.

Although he is not disgusted.

Akashi Seijuro had seriously thought about why he didn't dislike Mochizuki Hitomi.

People who have been told since childhood that they are the heirs of the Akashi family have to abide by a series of rules even in their infancy, some of which are even unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary people, although this kind of inhumanity is still seen by Akashi today. It was nothing, but in his opinion at the time, it was indeed a bit unacceptable.

For example, even acting like a baby to my mother is forbidden.

In comparison, Mochizuki Tong's life is no different from nobody's care in his eyes.At that time, Mochizuki Hitomi would complain to him about how tired she was from practicing the piano, and by the way, she held out her hand to show him that there was no difference at all, but she claimed that she had broken her hand.If he said nothing, she would hold it until he spoke to comfort her.

In fact, he felt that the time spent raising his hands should be more tiring than practicing the piano, but since she is so persistent, it doesn't hurt to say a few words against his will.

Yes, persistent.

Apart from being fond of acting like a baby to others, Mochizuki Hitomi has almost never had any particularly persistent thoughts on anything, except for piano and singing.But even these two seemingly elegant hobbies have actually brought Akashi a lot of trouble.

For example, wake him up when he is taking a nap, and then must sing him a newly learned tune or something.

So he was finally irritated and told her word for word.

"Mochizuki-san, I don't know you well."

then……

There's no after that.

As if there was no displeasure, Mochizuki Hitomi meekly did not bother him again.She still learns her own habits, rides her own horse, is happy when she should be happy, and is unhappy when she shouldn't be happy.I try my best to listen to the lectures in class, and although I occasionally fall asleep, I still finish my homework honestly.

In this way, as a bystander, Akashi found that this person looked like this, and he didn't look like the guy who would come to him to act like a baby.

Her life seems to be more than one, not more, and one less, and Mochizuki has enough leeway to walk between the very full and very full class schedule that she complained about.She stopped talking to him during the riding class, so she took a carrot to tease the coach's beloved horse who was already full.

If the carrot wasn't bad, maybe the relationship between him and her is still so clear.

So Akashi sometimes thinks it's good that there's something wrong with that carrot.

No one knew why the horse started throwing up after eating the carrot, but until he figured out why, the trainer clearly saw the carrot in the horrible-looking pile of vomit.Seeing the horse that always snorted at her become limp, Mochizuki looked at it with the railing, tears rolling in his eyes.

Just when he was betting she was going to cry in three seconds, the coach patted her head.

"Did you feed it?"

Mochizuki pupil trembled, as if he didn't know how to answer.The coach's temper has never been very good. If she admits it, no matter how tough her family background is, she will definitely be severely scolded.

So Akashi thought he must have taken the wrong medicine at the time to say that he did it.

That lie is actually easy to debunk, because the monitors are almost every fifty steps in the racecourse, and it is easy to find out the nearby videos to discern the truth.But the coach didn't seem to care about this, and after saying a few words casually, he focused on the condition of his own horse.

After the veterinarian came to check, the result was that it had nothing to do with the carrot, and it should be something wrong with the feed.At that time, Akashi could also see that the coach gave him a guilty look, and the guy next to him had sweaty palms.

In the palm of the hand he has been holding.

Thanks to Ma's illness, they did nothing all day.The coach asked the two of them to play casually under the shade of the tree, so he sat down and looked up at the blue sky, and by the way, looked at Mochizuki Hitomi, who had no horses and replaced them with horses.She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had secretly fed the horse just now, and she didn't know what she was looking for on the green lawn.After a while she ran back, stretched out her hand and grabbed him.

"Zheng, I just saw a butterfly~"

Half an hour ago, she had called him "Akashi-kun".

"Mochizuki-san, I don't know you well."

A moment of silence.

Be cautious in your words and deeds.

Akashi, who was still young at that time, suddenly understood the importance of this sentence for some reason, especially when he saw the light in those bright eyes dimming a little bit.The tears that had been suppressed earlier flowed up again little by little, but this time Mochizuki had a tendency to be unable to hold back.

"If you're not familiar, you're not familiar." Mochizuki twitched at the time: "I won't play with you in the future."

"That's why I'm not familiar with you."

He said: "In order to change this situation, Mochizuki-san should come to me more often."

From then until now, every time someone praised him for being smart, Akashi couldn't help but think of the scene when he finished that sentence.The silly girl's tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. After thinking for a long time, he successfully walked in, and it took a long time before she responded in a low voice.

Then Mochizuki Tong innocently dragged him to the place where he found the butterfly, which was on a small flower blooming in the grass under the tree on the edge of the racecourse.The butterfly was still standing on the stamen, shaking its wings from time to time.Mochizuki pressed her fingers to her lips and smiled slightly in the sunlight exposed by the dense leaves.

"Don't scare it away, Zheng."

It seems that since then, Mochizuki Tong and him have entered into an inexplicable relationship.In Akashi's view, there are many candidates who are more suitable as friends than Hitomi Mochizuki, but only that one person will share her bento and he is willing to accept it.There is also that unexplainable desire for monopoly that made him feel a little guilty.

It looks like a childhood sweetheart, but has a higher emotion than a childhood sweetheart.

Akashi used to think that was all he did to her.

If it wasn't for the mother's death.

The details of his mother's death have become blurred with the passage of time. Akashi thinks this is probably the helplessness and insignificance of human beings facing time.The only thing engraved in my memory is the oppressive atmosphere of the funeral, the black clothes and the suppressed weeping.

He is different from Mochizuki Hitomi.

At that time, he already understood that the meaning of death was that his gentle mother would not open his eyes again and ask him how he was doing at school today, and he also understood that in the future, facing his father's strictness, no one would do anything for him Protested with my father that he would be tired.

He would be [-]% the heir of the Akashi family, losing his identity as a son of a mother.

In fact, he had prepared for his mother's death a long time ago.The mother stayed sick in bed for a longer and longer time, and later she couldn't move around, so she could only rely on her and watch him laugh.Even the smile took all her strength, because the mother could not even speak.

This is the mother he used to be able to run with him.

Many people attended the funeral.

In the dark crowd, Akashi didn't know how many people like him were genuinely saddened by his mother's death.From his point of view, the impatience shown after lowering the head, and the disgusted corner of the mouth behind the handkerchief can be clearly seen, but at the moment when the head was raised, everyone's expressions looked so sad.

Everyone is like this.

So why did Mochizuki pupil cry so sadly.

When he saw Mochizuki Hitomi, she was crying with her handkerchief buried in her head.He couldn't see her expression clearly, but her trembling shoulders told him that he was indeed crying.

"do not Cry."

After the funeral, Mochizuki and his wife did not leave immediately.Mochizuki Hitomi's father was invited to discuss something with his father, while Mrs. Mochizuki was talking with the family members.Mochizuki Hitomi didn't like the atmosphere there, so he ran outside. He searched for her for a long time, and finally found her on a bench in the yard.

She is still crying.

Mochizuki Hitomi ignored him, crying so much that it was almost doubtful that he was having fun.He watched the steady stream of tears fall like pearls, and wondered if he would be dehydrated if he kept crying like this.

And it was winter at that time, if she kept crying, she would have a fever.

After crying to the end, she finally stopped crying.But because she cried for too long, Mochizuki still couldn't help sobbing twice after a while.The red eye circles from crying made her look no longer like a fake doll, and the dark green scarf she was wearing made her look even paler.

Just like when my mother died.

"Zheng," she reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "don't be sad, okay?"

How could it not be sad, my mother passed away.

He thought so.

Mochizuki probably felt that what he said was wrong, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't beat the weather outside and shivered.But then she took off her scarf and surrounded him with her.

"It's so cold." When she spoke, she still had a nasal voice: "Give half of the scarf to Zheng, so Zheng won't be cold."

The scarf was indeed very warm, especially when it wrapped Mochizuki Hitomi's temperature around his neck, covering the skin that had to be exposed because he was wearing a formal suit.

"I like Auntie very much."

"Yeah," he said, "I know."

"I don't want my aunt to die."

"I know."

"I don't want to be sad either."

This, he also knows.

"Auntie is just like my mother. She is gentle and beautiful. She treats everyone very well." She hugged him and said, "Zheng, I will give you half of the scarf so that you won't be cold. Then I will give you my mother." Half, don't be sad, okay?"

He didn't answer her right away, so Mochizuki probably thought she was rejected.Before leaving his house that day, she asked him if he wanted to reconsider, after all, the deal was really a bargain for him.

He just shook his head.

He hadn't thought about it then, and he hadn't told her what he really thought after he had thought about it.

If you really let her know earlier, it will probably scare her, just like the butterfly standing on the stamen, it will fly away in surprise.Then stand beside her silently in front of me with [-]% confidence, until the time comes when I can hold her hand.

He doesn't want to lose at all.

Father's New Year's lecture didn't end until near midnight.After a quiet dinner together, he finally returned to his room.There was no movement on the mobile phone on the table, so Akashi sat on the table and waited quietly for twelve o'clock.

Just when the nearby bell rang, the silent cell phone rang.

There was an expected noisy voice on the phone, and Mochizuki explained that they were celebrating the festival in Chinatown.

That's the vibe she likes.

He just listened to her talking about what was happening around her now, and described it to him in detail.And after nagging for a long time, Mochizuki finally seemed to remember something,

"Zheng, Happy New Year."

And he took a deep breath.

"Happy New Year."

The author has something to say: Happy Chinese New Year, everyone, good luck, money, job, study, big boobs! ! !

I hope everyone will not be abused by me~
