[SD] Late Summer

The cold wind in December was howling and biting, cold to the bone marrow.Those dead branches on the sycamore tree lost their lives, lonely and desolate in the evening twilight.

Walking on the long and long slope, there are no cherry blossoms in spring, green shade in summer, and golden autumn, only the gray sea and biting sea breeze not far away.

Ruosang really doesn't like winter, this feeling of withering everything is too chilling and sad.

"elder sister."

The dim street lights on the side of the road have been turned on one by one.The tall and straight boy pushing his bicycle and standing under the street lamp, defying the severe cold, was still wearing only a single coat, with his backpack straddled diagonally.But so bright and dazzling in this dim twilight.

"Xiaofeng, why are you here?" Ruo Sang was a little surprised, this is the place she must go to and from school.It's just that her younger brother was waiting for her here today.

"Well, because I forgot where my sister's home is." Rukawa Feng said calmly.

"what?"

Ever since Ruo Sang and the others moved, Ruchuan Feng couldn't remember the way to their new home.

"Really, haven't you been here several times? Why do you still forget?" Ruosang had no choice but to say, "Then let's go."

Back home, Ruosang's parents were already there.

"Mom, you are really rare today."

"Isn't it? I finally asked for leave. Come here, Xiaofeng, let my aunt see you. I haven't seen you for a few months, have you grown taller again?" Miho Matsuba pushed Rukawa Kaede onto the sofa He touched his head vigorously, but Rukawa Feng didn't make any resistance.

"Mom!" Ruo Sang was a little bit sad to see her younger brother being "sucked up" like this, saying that her mother was really similar to her aunt in this kind of place.

"Haha, you see Ruo-san is coming to protect you in such a hurry." Miho Matsuba looked at Kaede Rukawa in front of her and then at her daughter, "You two are really going to grow up. It seems that I also Really getting old."

"Mom, what are you talking about. Look at Mr. Zhongchuan, he is older than your mother, but you can't tell his age at all."

"Laiyue, Laiyue, it's because she is just like this, always with that kind of heart."

"That's right, I've never seen a more unscrupulous teacher than her."

"But you still like her, don't you?"

"Well, it would be nice if only she could give me less trouble."

"Haha. What about Xiaofeng, did you encounter any interesting things in school? As for the love letters, I have received a few. Your mother specifically told me to come and ask you."

"I said... Auntie, she just made an international long-distance call to explain this?" Ruo Sang felt completely speechless...

"Oh, by the way, I forgot. You two hurry to the computer, your uncle is waiting for you."

"Okay, got it."

The difference between Matsuba's house and ordinary people's house is that Christmas in their house will be as grand as New Year's.Ruosang's aunt and aunt are in the United States all year round, so they also follow the Romans and celebrate Christmas as the New Year, but they don't care much about the authentic Japanese New Year.

Originally, the most important thing about this kind of festival is that the family can get together. As for which day it is, it doesn't really matter.

At the dinner table, just after everyone had exchanged gifts, Ruosang's mother said that she had something to announce.

"Today everyone gathered together for Christmas, let's treat it as New Year's. Because today the company notified me that I will go to the United States some time later, and that day happens to be New Year's Day."

"Eh? Mom, are you going to America for the New Year?!" Ruo Sang looked at her mother in surprise.Although she sometimes travels on business, she never goes out during the holidays.

"Yes, because your mother will be promoted next year, and it is said that she may go to the United States for a period of time to study. So anyway, everyone is here today, so let's celebrate the New Year happily together."

"Is that so..." Ruo Sang felt a little uncomfortable, "Then...then...where's my red envelope?!"

"I know, I know, I won't lose you. And Xiaofeng's too," Matsuba Miho looked at her daughter with some reluctance, "Actually, the matter of promotion has not been finalized yet. But if it is true If you want to go, it may take a long time. Ruo Sang, do you want to go to the United States to study?"

"What?!" Ruo Sang was unprepared for the question suddenly asked by his mother.

Going to America to study was something she had never even thought about.

"It's like this. In fact, I have discussed it with your father before. Originally, your uncle and the others are in the United States. It is very convenient for you to study there. But I wanted to ask you for your opinion after you graduated from high school, but I didn't." Thinking that there will be such an arrangement in the company. Thinking that I may not see you for a year and a half, so my mother asked you this on a whim, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go. "

"It turned out to be so, it scared me to death."

"What's the matter, why don't you want to go to the United States?" Seeing her daughter's relaxed look, Matsuba Miho asked.

"It's not... la. Because my English is not so good, I'm afraid I can't understand it over there and..."

Ruo Sang unconsciously looked at the younger brother beside him.

To be honest, if she wants to go to the United States now, she really can't worry about her little brother.

After all, Xiaofeng only went to junior high school...

In addition, she is very happy in Xiangyang now, and it is not so easy to separate from her classmates.

"Okay, okay, I just asked you this way. In short, this matter is not yet settled. I will only find out when I come back from the United States this time. It's okay if you really don't want to go. With our Ruo Sang's ability, It won’t be a problem to get into Tokyo University in the future, right?”

"Mother……"

"Eat and eat."

After dinner, Ruo Sang and Rukawa Feng watched the program on TV together.But in fact, she was the only one who was really watching, and her younger brother had been sleeping for a long time.Then when the time is up, go out and play basketball.

Rukawa Feng doesn't care if it's Christmas or what, even if it's windy and rainy, he can still play basketball.

The phone rang.

"Hello, it's my aunt."

"Hey girl, Merry Christmas."

"Aunt, you too."

"How is it? How is your life recently? Have you got a boyfriend?"

"...Aunt, why did you say that right away?"

"Oh, is it possible that children of your age can do anything else?" Kamiyama Rie laughed three times on the phone.

"...Aunt..."

"By the way, is Xiaofeng by your side?"

"Yes, but he fell asleep, do you want me to wake him up?"

"I'm asleep...that's okay."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Is there anything you want me to tell you?"

"Then you tell him 'Get mommy a girlfriend quickly, boy!'."

"..."

Hey, she won't pass on such words! ! !

After hanging up her aunt's phone call, Ruo Sang sighed out the window.

As a result, not long after the last call, the next call came again.

"Hello, Maki?"

"Ah, Ruosang, where are you now?" There seemed to be some noise on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong with me at home?"

"Can you come out for a while, everyone is karaoke together, but you are missing."

"No, you really went, are you going to sing till dawn?"

"No, no, no, at most early morning."

"Uh……"

"Don't worry, it's fine if you want to leave early, come on~"

"This..." Ruo Sang looked at his younger brother and his parents.

"Hey, Matsuba-san,"

Suddenly, the voice on the phone changed. When Ruo Sang heard this voice, he couldn't help but hold on to the phone.

"Teng Zhen-kun...Teng Zhen-kun are you there?"

"Well, it was pulled here in the end."

"That's it."

"How about it, can you come out?"

"I'll ask my parents."

"okay."

"What's the matter, are you calling from a classmate?" Matsuba Yanghai asked after seeing the hesitant look of his daughter who hung up the phone.

"Yes, they asked me to hang out."

"That's it, then go."

"Eh? Really?"

"Just don't play too late, you know."

"Got it!" Ruo Sang stood up excitedly, "Daddy, you are the best!"

"Hey, you really know how to please your daughter." Miho Matsuba glanced at her husband with dissatisfaction, "But it doesn't matter, it's late at night."

"It's okay, Mom, I'll be back soon."

"so……"

"Auntie," Rukawa Feng who woke up at some point also stood up and said, "I will send my sister back after playing."

"Xiao Feng..."

Ruosang, who didn't expect him to say that, stared at her younger brother for a while.

Rukawa Feng is already a full head taller than her.

"Oh, Matsuha is here."

"Ah, deputy squad leader, you made us wait for you for so long."

"That's right, Ruo Sang, you have to sing a song later."

As soon as Ruosang walked into the box, she received a warm welcome.

"Sorry, everyone."

"Come on, come on, then you can sing us a song first, order one."

Ruo Sang couldn't shirk it, so he ordered backstreetboy's "Drowning".

……

A song that is sung at a moderate distance, but it is the lyrics in the song that attracts Fuji, and the girl who sang that song.

"You know you have the power to make me vulnerable inside

Girl, you take my breath away"

……

"Maybe I'm just a drifter

Longing for a safe place to escape from free float in the middle of the night

in your arms

I don't need any other lover

that's not for me

because only you can save me

Oh, don't you see? "

……

Fujima listened quietly, as if the surroundings were silent, leaving only himself and the music that kept flowing.

It's not that I can't face my own heart, but once I face it, it will no longer be pure.

Because then there must be countless other things waiting for him, perhaps, his feelings will be wiped out from then on...

This is the life of Kenji Fujima. It has always been a single straight line, but it is never simple and pure.

He didn't want to implicate anyone else in this.

When we were young, we didn't understand, we always thought that it could last forever.

It's just that he is as young as Tengzhen, and he already understands this truth.

Ephemeral is the common fate of all things.

However, if you just hide this intention in your heart, maybe you can keep it for a lifetime...

We are not saints, we have emotions and desires, and we are helpless.It's better to go your own way in your own life.

The young Fujima has long understood that no matter where he goes, he is always alone.

Let the memories here last forever, youth is not old.
