How can you go to Japan without soaking in hot springs?

After leaving Kyoto, the two headed north to Izu in Shizuoka.The cherry blossoms in Kyoto have faded, but the cherry blossoms in Izu are in full bloom.

This small town south of Tokyo is as spotless and crystal clear as Yasunari Kawabata wrote in "The Dancing Girl of Izu".Outside the window of the Japanese-style inn where the two stayed, there was the clear Matsukawa River. Both sides of the river were covered with lush pine trees and pink and white cherry blossoms. There were a few wild ducks on the river, gliding leisurely on the water.

The paper door is opened and there is a small courtyard with green bamboo rockery and clear springs. Sitting on the edge of the porch, basking in the warm spring sun, there is a kind of drowsy sleepiness.

Snape looked at the futon on the tatami with probing eyes: "We - sleep on the floor?"

"Let's feel the local customs."

"But..." Snape hesitated, "Why are there two beds in one room?"

Although there is a distance between the two quilts, why should they be placed in the same room?This inevitably made him have some bad guesses.

Olivia didn't take it seriously: "Japan is a small place, so the house layout is more compact."

That's not the problem... Snape felt a little bad all over.

Olivia didn't feel Snape's entanglement in his heart, and after a short rest, she took him to the Ito Matsukawa Trail for a walk.

This is a very beautiful walking trail. Cherry blossoms are densely planted on both sides of the narrow road, and the whole road is covered by cherry blossoms.The sunlight casts mottled light and shadow on the road through the petals, the breeze blows, the branches sway, the light and shadow float, and the petals gently fall on people's shoulders, making people reluctant to shake them off.

The two of them walked aimlessly along the road, and there were often wooden boards with Japanese writing on the side of the road. Olivia could recognize the Chinese characters on them, but she couldn't understand the meaning at all, but she looked at it It should be some small poem haiku or something.

Tired from walking, the two of them sat on the stone bench by the roadside to rest.

Olivia smiled and asked: "Seeing such a beautiful scenery, do you know why I like traveling?"

"It's okay to take a vacation." Although Snape also felt that the scenery was good, he still didn't want to spend all his time on it. "If you blindly pursue enjoyment, you won't be able to make progress."

Even though he is still a half-grown child, his self-control is frighteningly high.Olivia glanced at Snape appreciatively, and stretched her waist: "Yes, this world is still full of dangers, you need a sense of urgency."

Danger?Snape thought for a moment, "You mean the Mysterious Man and those dark wizards?"

Olivia shook her head: "I'm talking about magic." Magic is a weapon, and the weapon itself is dangerous, because you can't guarantee that the people who own this weapon are kind.

"Even if there is no You-Know-Who, there will still be someone else." The same is true for Muggles. Social contracts and laws are all about protecting the weak. Once they are in a protected position, it is difficult to control their fate.

"Only by becoming stronger can you protect yourself." Relying on the conscience and compassion of others is really not safe.

Hearing her words, Snape said seriously: "I will protect you."

Seeing that Olivia seemed a little surprised and smiled, he repeated: "I will be strong enough to protect you."

It's not a bad feeling to be protected by a person who swears, even if the other person is just a young man with no strength at present.

Olivia bent her eyes happily and smiled at him: "Then go ahead.

After dinner in the evening, I enjoyed a Noh performance that I couldn't enjoy in the hotel at all. After eating, the two of them changed into bathrobes and prepared to enter the hot spring.

The hot springs are divided into time periods, and both men and women have stipulated entry time periods.While Olivia was taking a bath, Snape waited in the room, and when she came back flushed from the bath, he went over with the towel in his arms.

Snape was not used to exposing his body in the open air, so he got wet in it awkwardly, and hurried back with his clothes on.Fearing that Olivia would laugh at him, he deliberately wandered outside for a while before walking back slowly.

Walking into the room, Snape found that Olivia had fallen asleep on a strange table that seemed to be called a kotatsu.

He walked over with a light movement, and imitated her, tucking his feet under the table and sitting on the soft cushion.It was really warm under the table, and the height of the table was just right, no wonder she fell asleep here.

Snape propped his face on one hand and looked sideways at her.

One side of her face was resting on her arm, and the other hand was still resting on the book she was reading. The loose light blue bathrobe exposed a section of her snow-white arm.The face facing him was powdery from soaking in hot water, just like the cherry blossoms that can be seen everywhere here.Black curls spread over the body and the table in waves, and some slipped into the sagging neckline.

He looked away a little hotly.

The room was quiet, and the sound of the river flowing outside the window and the light tapping of the bamboo knots in the courtyard could be faintly heard, but what was more clear was the gentle breathing sound close to the ears.

Snape looked back unconsciously.

The long and curly black eyelashes cast a small shadow under the eyes, and the soothing eyebrows and eyes are quiet and gentle, different from the usual calm and sharp, at this moment she looks extraordinarily pure and beautiful.

He thinks he can probably understand why Potter always looks stupid, liking someone can really make you feel that there is nothing about her that is not cute, and there is nothing about her that is not exciting.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, gently lifted a strand of hair on her table, twirled it with his fingertips, and put it back.

After quietly looking at her for a while, Snape woke her up: "If you are sleepy, go back to your room and sleep."

Olivia opened her eyes, still unable to react: "I fell asleep?" She looked at Snape with sleepy eyes, "You're back."

It was rare to see her so stupid, and Snape drew two dimples.

Covering her lips and yawning, Olivia got up and walked into the bedroom, then poked her head out and asked, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"

"..." Snape suppressed his smile and frowned.

"Then I'll choose whatever I want." Seeing that he didn't speak, Olivia shrank back again.

Don't go to bed tonight... Snape thought bitterly.

He picked up the book that Olivia had read halfway through and flipped through it absently. He fidgeted and looked at the time from time to time. After finishing the translation of the Japanese novel, the hour hand had already pointed to two.

After repeated struggles in his heart, Snape finally got up and walked into the room.

Only one floor lantern was lit in the bedroom. Olivia slept soundly on the inner bedding with her arms draped outside the quilt, her back to the door.

Heartless guy.

After muttering a few words, Snape went in and lifted his quilt to lie down.

He thought that he would not be able to fall asleep, but when he closed his eyes, he fell into a dark dream.

Olivia woke up early.

Turning his head sideways, Snape huddled under the covers an arm's length away from her, his face almost buried in the covers.

Wouldn't it be boring to sleep like this?

She stood up and looked at him with interest for a while.

He slept peacefully, without even turning over, and the quilt didn't look wrinkled.It was the same when I watched him sleep on the plane before, there was almost no movement.

In this way, if we live together in the future, at least we don't have to worry about the person next to our pillow snoring, grinding their teeth and talking in sleep.

Surprised by the thought that popped up in her mind, Olivia was stunned for two seconds, and after laughing, she suddenly thought, it doesn't seem bad?

The room was a little stuffy, and there was a cloudy smell after a night's sleep, but it was inexplicably reassuring.She suddenly had the urge to roll to the side twice and get into his bed, so his expression after opening his eyes should be very interesting.

Olivia snickered at the picture imagined in her mind, but she still gave up this idea that was not good for Snape's heart health, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.

After the door was closed, there was a moment of silence in the bedroom, Snape lifted the quilt, revealing a blushing face.

When he packed himself up and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Olivia in a bathrobe sitting on the porch of the courtyard, drinking a cup of green tea with the morning breeze blowing.

"Morning." She smiled back.

The bamboo joints in the courtyard were just filled with water and knocked down with a bang.

Snape paused before saying, "Morning."

"The weather is fine today."

"Actually, compared with England, the weather here is very good every day." Snape complained with the cold humor unique to the British.

Olivia laughed so much that she spilled tea all over herself.

After staying in Izu for another two days, the two of them saw Mount Fuji across the sea, and then continued north along the route of cherry blossoms, passing through Tokyo, Gunma and Hokkaido.

The two went to Chidorigafuchi in Tokyo at night, took a boat on the water, and watched the cherry blossoms by the lake under the illumination of various colors of lights, reflecting the reflections in the water, making them appear radiant and beautiful.

He also went to the Raogahara Wetland in Gunma Prefecture, and camped and barbecued on the grass. Snape took the opportunity to collect a lot of alpine plants, and planned to take them back to see if they could be used as medicine.

Finally, when we arrived in Otaru, Hokkaido, Olivia bought a lot of exquisite and beautiful glass products and music boxes. Snape looked at her space bag that was about to be full with the eyes of "I knew it", and she had no deterrent. A hard stare.

On the way back to the airport, Olivia suddenly asked, "You said earlier that you would go to Kyoto to see the maple leaves after graduation."

"so?"

"Will you be with me then?"

He looked at her, and she looked back at him.

"Of course." Snape said slowly, "I said, wherever."

The author has something to say:

Regarding Lupin, everyone has their own opinions, and it is not necessary to insist on the same, as long as you all love Aoli and the professor after reading the text →_→
