boom.boom.boom.

Every heartbeat clearly fell to my ears in the quiet space. In the darkness, Yui Ogata clenched his palms tightly, and the paper deformed in his hands.

The imaginary voice asked again and again, repeatedly and indifferently, as if there were crazy vines growing around the heart, she mistakenly thought that she was about to be unable to breathe.

At the end of the story, the author handed over the right to choose.

She could almost imagine Yukimura Seiichi's distant and gentle expression when he wrote, so cunning and so arrogant.

After four reincarnations, he finally forced her to a situation where she had to give an answer no matter what.

Countless voices intertwined in his mind, Yui Ogata shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the illusion.Her hair was already disheveled while running, a thin layer of sweat emerged from her back, and her tense nerves throbbed with tingling pain. It seemed that she had never experienced such a embarrassing moment in the long, dull and repetitive time.

At the moment of extreme exhaustion, someone pushed open the door of the stairwell.

The boy always has a candy-like sweetness, just like his first impression.

Marui Bunta stood by the door, seemingly not expecting the scene in front of him, the young man who has always been able to treat people skillfully didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

During the few seconds he hesitated, Ogata Yui didn't even lift his head.

She knew that Fumta Marui had seen her in front of the operating room, but she had no more strength to deal with people, and she didn't know how to explain anything.

"..."

Unexpectedly, Marui Bunta didn't ask anything.

He paused for a moment, stepped forward, squatted down in front of the girl, and even restrained himself from looking at her carefully, he just put down the handkerchief by her hand.

Outside the door, Kirihara Chiya's curious voice came from far to near, and he asked, "Senior? Where are you going?"

"It's nothing."

Marui Fumta responded, stood up and backed away. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at Yui Ogata, who was in a distressed posture, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed those words.

"So you... Forget it."

The young man's eyes darkened slightly, as if he understood clearly, but also seemed to be in greater confusion. In the end, the extremely perceptive young man shook his head lightly, closed the door to block all light, and Qie Yuanchi, who was outside the door, also curiously inquired.

All around returned to silence.

In the chaotic mind, fragments of memory collided and reorganized constantly, Ogata Yui captured the figure of Yukimura Seichi in the torrent of those years.

When they met for the first time, the young man had a cold and distant profile.

The sound of footsteps passing by the piano room after dusk.

Melting snow in the palm of your hand.

Colorful umbrellas in the crowd.

That touch of moonlight.

……

At the end of the corridor, the door of the operating room finally opened.

At the same time, the wind of the world blows gently.

The interlaced images in front of her eyes were all blown away, and she looked around quietly. The girl opened her eyes in the darkness, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

There was a rushing movement in the corridor, followed by the tense screams of the medical staff, mixed with someone's suppressed whimpering, cruelly and quickly passed through the door, and then returned to calm.

It was a stillness with almost no boundaries.

Ogata Yui froze for a moment, staggered up and pushed open the door of the stairwell, the lights in the operating room had dimmed, and the corridor was empty.

The white cold light formed a beam of light, illuminating her figure.

In an instant, everything in front of him was clearly visible.

The smell of sunlight remains faintly in the evening mist, the cicadas sing one after another in the woods, and the birds flutter their wings from the window sills, flying into the lights of thousands of houses in the city.The stars are twinkling, and the blurred figures passing by on the road are gradually stained with color.

The transparent barrier that had been around her for a long time seemed to disappear forever at this moment.

In the frozen time, the first pointer began to move.

Ogata Yui lowered his head, belatedly understanding why Marui Bunta handed her a handkerchief.

At some point, the nail pierced through the paper and embedded in the palm, and the blood from the wound stained the handwriting.She raised her palm, and in the empty corridor, she clearly felt the pain, as if an irreversible prophecy was announcing to her:

Everything that has happened to her since then has a dangerous force capable of hurting her.

Yukimura Seiichi declined all requests for medical visits.

The outcome of the operation, success or failure, was not disclosed to anyone other than the family.Perhaps before everything started, he had already prepared for the worst, and if it was disturbing news, he would never let her know it.

And the teenager withdrew the finished script at the last moment, probably not as determined as he showed.

Time passed as usual, the Kaihara Festival, the Kanto Contest, the fireworks display... everything was going on in an orderly manner, as if nothing had changed.

Under the calm appearance, the turbulent emotions seem to be insignificant.

"Sorry, I can't disclose the patient's information."

In the evening, Yui Ogata walked out of the hospital again, and the nurse conveyed to her Yukimura Seiichi's wish to refuse visiting patients as usual.She stood at the door of the hospital, looking at the distant glow, and sighed.

"Anything you're not happy about?"

Someone behind him asked.

Ogata Yui turned his head.

Marui Bunta leaned against the wall, the corners of his lips blowing bubble gum looming in the dark.

"You...why are you here?" She subconsciously looked over his shoulder and glanced at the hospital building.

Marui Bunta seemed to guess what she was thinking, shook his head and said, "I can't help it either."

"..."

The girl's expression darkened.

In the same daily life as before, she would still meet Fumta Marui by accident from time to time, but the boy never mentioned the scene in the stairwell that day, nor asked why Ogata Yui came to the hospital again and again.

He tilted his head, looking careless.

"If you're in a bad mood, would you like some dessert?"

"What?" Ogata was the only one stunned.

"There is a delicious dessert shop, I have always invited you."

"..."

She vaguely remembered that it was a dessert shop that was highly respected by Fumta Marui and newly opened in front of Lihai University. The girl was a little curious, "Is it really that delicious?"

Marui Bunta didn't seem to expect that she would ask questions, he thought she would just evade or accept it helplessly.

The boy thought for a while, and he replied, "It has nothing to do with whether it tastes good or not."

"Ok?"

"If you don't go, summer will be over."

Standing a few steps away in the sunlight, the young man straightened up a little, an indescribable sense of loss flashed across his eyes.He lowered his eyelashes to hide those complicated emotions, and simply smiled, "Anyway, we have nothing to do now, right?"

"..."

Ogata Yui looked away from the hospital building and landed on the young man in front of her again. She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say:

"Marui-san, you are such a strange person."

The young man's keen control over relationships is the most astonishing one among all the people Yui Ogata knows.He is always careless, seems to have no sense of proportion, but never crosses anyone's thunder.

But at some point, it vaguely reveals the decisiveness that is inevitable.

For example, he would not ask about Yui Ogata's relationship with Yukimura Seiichi, but he insisted on inviting her to that dessert shop.

The lights in the streets and alleys are gradually brightening.

It was a long way from the hospital back to the dessert shop near the school, and neither of them spoke.The appearance of jumping off faded away, and the boy's brows and eyes suddenly became silent, which made Yui Ogata aware of something unusual.

She looked sideways, but didn't ask any questions.

If it was before, no matter what answer Marui Bunta gave, she would probably be able to ignore it in confusion.But... the girl subconsciously spread her hand, the wound on her palm was gone, but the delusional pain was always there.

However, at this moment, Yui Ogata clearly knew that as long as Fumi Marui was willing, he could hurt her with words.

The evening wind did not know when it had stopped.

Marui Bunta stopped at the door of the dessert shop he was thinking about, walked to the window, and called Ogata Yui to come over, with his forehead almost touching the glass, "Look."

"Look at what?"

He pointed, "This cake is my favorite."

Ogata Yui blinked, guessing what he meant, "Do you want to eat this?"

"..."

"I haven't eaten it." Marui Fumta shook his head, "This cake is on Liu's forbidden list, and he always lists a lot of data that I don't understand, telling me not to eat it."

"Then how do you know you like it?"

"I just know." Under the warm light in the window, the boy's brows and eyes looked extraordinarily gentle. He stared at the huge and dreamy dim sum, and suddenly said, "I felt the same way when I saw you for the first time. .”

"..."

The heart missed half a beat uncontrollably, Ogata Yui raised his eyes, but Fumta Marui didn't say any more, he looked away, straightened up, pushed open the door of the store, and the wind chime was shaking gently under the porch.

Ogata Yui stood there for a while, only to feel that something quietly fell into the night without a trace.

She followed Marui Bunta into the store, as he said, following the strict calorie intake regulations of the tennis staff, he did not order the oversized cake, but ordered some delicate desserts casually.

The young man who always showed infinite enthusiasm for desserts just propped his chin up tonight, sharing his favorite flavors with her.

Outside the window, the color of the sea gradually darkens.

Until saying goodbye at the door of the store, Yui Ogata still had a strange sense of unreality. Bunta Marui, who was good at using jokes to achieve his goal, simply invited her to have a snack. She turned her face hesitantly, "Student Marui, Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No."

"Is it okay even if you don't eat your favorite cake?"

"..."

For a moment, Marui Bunta was almost on the point of answering her honestly, but soon the boy returned to his nonchalant expression with a harmless smile.

"it's alright."

He said goodbye to Ogata Yui politely.

It wasn't until the girl's figure disappeared into the depths of the night that the relaxed expression between his eyebrows and eyes slightly subsided. The boy turned his head and walked in the opposite direction, alone in the lights of the long street.

When seeing Yui Ogata, Marui Bunta would always think of the cake that made his heart itch.

Liu Lianer always told him not to eat, while Ogata Yui's attitude was full of avoidance, resistance and rejection, but the soft part of a girl's nature made it impossible for her to hate him.So, even if there is an unmoved indifference behind her friendly attitude, he can take advantage of this and keep probing and approaching her.

Marui Bunta sometimes hates his own sensitivity to emotional perception, which is why he is so clearly aware of Ogata Yui's change.

The boy thought ironically that he thought Yui Ogata would never understand what "like" is.

If she doesn't understand anything... fine.

He stopped suddenly in the long street, and walked quickly when he turned around.

The young man pushed open the door of the dessert shop again. Amidst the familiar sound of wind chimes, he pointed to the oversized cake that was banned by Liu Lian Er, "Please give me a piece."

"Eh? Do you eat alone?"

Under the surprised eyes of the clerk, Fumta Marui eagerly began to eat the cake that he had been longing for. The taste of cream and syrup exploded in his taste buds. It was so sweet that it was bitter, and the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth gradually faded.

"What's the matter? Guest?"

"It's nothing...this isn't sweet."

"Eh??" The clerk looked at him in shock, wondering what was wrong with the customer's sense of taste.

But the odd guest just sighed and said softly, "I wish it was sweet. What a pity."

Marui Bunta remembered the unique cake that Ogata Yui handed him when they first met. Thinking about it now, it was not sweet from the beginning.

Perhaps in the dark, everything has been expected.

The life principle that the self-proclaimed genius boy believes in has always been smart.He is used to taking care of other people's emotions, and he keeps a leeway in all relationships, and he has never been a character who hits the wall.

He didn't even explicitly say he likes Yui Ogata, didn't explore her relationship with Yukimura Seiichi, and didn't say anything superfluous or embarrassing when he finally let go.

Marui Bunta turned his head.

The reflection on the window reflected the teenager's clenched jaw and slightly shining eyes. He looked at his own reflection, and the unwillingness between his brows and eyes seemed unable to calm down, but it could be hidden in an invisible place.

He suddenly smiled and lowered his head to dig a spoonful of cake.

Why bother to study it carefully, the regret that no one knows is better than the embarrassment with bloodshed, this is the way of wise people.

The author has something to say: Why don't you be a smart person, Lihai boy
