When I woke up in the morning, the other side of the bed was already empty. Suzumiya reached out to touch it, and the bed was cold.

The girl hugged the quilt in a daze for a while, and then slowly got out of bed.

The curtain was opened, and the pale morning sun came in, and at the same time, there was a cold wind.

After changing clothes, Suzumiya opened the door and smelled fried eggs as soon as she went downstairs.

Sawada Nana happened to walk out of the kitchen with a nutritious breakfast. She glanced at Suzumiya Na standing at the stairs, and immediately smiled, "Nako is up. Where's Makoto?"

……

Knowing that the child had already left, everyone in the Sawada family showed disappointment without exception.

At the dinner table, Sawada Nana asked whose child it was.

Sawada's mother, who is famous for her natural stupidity, was unusually persistent this time, and Suzumiya Na became her key subject of interrogation. Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had not been "taken care of" for the time being, bowed his head and drank his soup in silence.

While Suzumiya Nai was hesitating, Sawada Iemitsu temporarily diverted Sawada Nana's attention by saying "Nana's soup today is very delicious", and Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly stood up and said "I'm full", and pulled up Suzumiya walked out.

While Sawada's mother was being held back, the two juniors both slipped out of the dining room.

After running out of the Sawada house in one breath, the two slowed down their pace, and then as if they knew each other, neither of them made a sound, just walked side by side in silence.

Suzumiya hasn't returned to Bingsheng for a long time. When she left before, the trees on both sides of the road were lush and lush. Looking at it now, her eyes are full of autumn colors.

Only the ground under our feet is as clean as ever, and occasionally we can see one or two pieces of dark yellow leaves quietly parked on the gray ground. An unspeakable interest.

The black bird parked on the eaves, if you look closely, you will find that its tail is dark blue, blue like night.

Clouds are reflected in the puddles beside the telephone poles. The colors of those clouds are a bit strange, like a work that failed in color matching, but it makes people's hearts flutter unexpectedly.

Suzumiya Nana has been silently looking for these small roadside scenery, so as to distract the whining in her mind, "Ah, let's start to calculate the total account, no, no, I haven't come up with a tall explanation, what should I do?"...

... calm down dear.Suzumiya Nai said to the villain kneeling in her mind, the leader of Pengo Lie is not such a stingy man, maybe he didn't take your little awkwardness to heart at all, maybe this old man just wanted to hold your hand take a walk……

Then Suzumiya Nai felt that the uncle holding her paw stopped, and she had to stand still.

They stopped at a cross street.

On the left, a two-story photo studio, on the right, the glass doors of the post office glisten in the sun.There is a constant flow of people ahead, and a bridge spans both ends of the road.

"Ah, we've come here..." After finishing this sentence as if talking to himself, Tsunayoshi Sawada turned his eyes and saw someone's slightly nervous face, his eyes moved.

"This expression..." Straightening out the girl's messy bangs, the young man said slowly, "Could it be that Naiko is guilty?"

Suzumiya Nai obediently remained motionless under that hand, staring at him with watery eyes, and I don't know if that look was intentional or purely unconscious. In short, at this moment, her whole body was emitting a Poor puppy smell...

Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly felt a little funny, so he really laughed.

The youth's reaction was interpreted by the puppies as "the wind and sunshine before the storm"...so her eyes became more sad.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help touching those pitiful black eyes, the skin under his fingertips was warm and soft.

One eye was covered by his hand, and the other eye was still looking straight at him... His eyes were a little puzzled by his actions, and the meaning of begging for mercy faded.

Tens of meters behind her is the historic overpass.Due to the different angles of view, the reinforced concrete structure is only a little higher than the girl in his eyes at this time. The pedestrians on the bridge are only the size of fingers, and the outlines of their faces cannot be seen clearly. In the middle of the bridge, there are two The child was walking around sullenly... like a resident of a Lilliputian country who accidentally strayed into this world.

It was in this background that Suzumiya Na had been watching Sawada Tsunayoshi, her dark pupils were clear and bright... She didn't have a look of melancholy, but there was some strange sadness floating in Sawada Tsunayoshi's chest.

This kind of obedient and obedient posture was not unheard of before.She has always known how to assess the situation, put away her sharp claws in front of incompetent opponents, and bow her head in exchange for reconciliation...

Doing that is not because of sincere obedience, it is just a means to quell the war, and the temporary compromise is the stubbornness that has never changed.

If she is deceived by her softness at the moment, then similar things will continue to happen in the future...

How to really get your approval...

"Ah Tsuna?" Suzumiya Nai asked in a low voice, seeming to be uneasy because of his long silence.

The girl's face and those little pedestrians on the bridge were reflected in his eyes at the same time, and Tsunayoshi Sawada was slightly in a trance, and an idea gradually took shape in his mind...

"Nako," said Tsunayoshi Sawada, "close your eyes."

"Huh?" Suzumiya was silent for two seconds, and when she spoke again, her tone was a little shy, "What are you doing..."

"I just thought of an interesting game," said Tsunayoshi Sawada coaxingly, not noticing the other party's strangeness, thinking about a certain plan, "Good boy, close your eyes."

So Suzumiya Nana did as she did, trying not to burn her face while closing her eyes...

The second after her vision was dimmed, the body temperature touch she expected did indeed come, but the place where it came...

"...Guna?" Suzumiya asked tentatively, and got a response, and at the same time, someone was still holding her hand...

So Suzumiya was sure, he really just wanted to hold her hand...very pure, holding her little hand...

Accident + loss + shame + the depression of being played is equal to... from embarrassment to anger.

Before Suzumiya Nai put that anger into words, Sawada Tsunayoshi made a new move.

——He took her hand and turned her around gently.

"Don't open your eyes." As if sensing her dissatisfaction, he calmed her emotions with a soft voice, "Now, go forward."

Suzumiya was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised her foot...

Step by step, in the dark.

With the vision closed, the remaining four senses become more acute.The tempting aroma of takoyaki in the hands of passers-by, the rustling sound of wheels rolling over the concrete floor, the sense of solidity of your feet on the ground...

That person held her hand all the time, like a silent promise.He led her around obstacles, large and small.Pedestrians, mailboxes, bicycles...every time he met one, he reminded her with a gentle voice, go left, go right, stop, continue...

Suzumiya Na counted silently until 74 steps, when she heard Tsunayoshi Sawada say——

"Okay, let's go up the stairs now." The voice was faintly smiling, "Keep your eyes closed all the time?"

"Yeah," she replied, "it's been closed all the time."

——Actually, you can detect it even with your eyes closed. Those pedestrians and vehicles... are not enough to hinder a person who has been tempered in blood and fire for four years.

However, she understood, what that person wanted to tell her...

In the 74 steps of losing sight, the things he wanted her to understand, the things he couldn't find when he opened his eyes...

"From now on, you have to walk up 21 stairs." He said, "Take your time, I will take you."

She tightened the hand she held and nodded.

Following his guidance, step by step up the concrete stairs...

Finally came to the ground.

No, it's not so much a flat ground, it's better to say that what she's stepping on is a plateau, and the plateau is trembling, slightly, continuously...

That hand was holding her all the time. At this moment, it took her and gently turned half of her body...

"Feel it?" said the owner of the hand. "We are standing on the bridge."

"..." She nodded slightly, still closing her eyes.

"When I saw this bridge just now, I was wondering what it would be like to stand on the bridge and look down... Although I have walked by it many times before, I have never paid special attention to it."

"……now what?"

"Ah, it's really beautiful." He said, "I want Nako to watch this scenery with me, but before that, I have something to say to you."

"..."

"Want to listen?"

"Ah."

"Don't be angry after listening."

"……it is good."

He seemed to be smiling, with a brisk tone: "Then I'll say it."

The wind was blowing from the left, and it was chilling into her collar.It was a very icy wind, with the deep chill of winter... But these were not enough to make her miss the young man's words.

"I understand your desire to become stronger, but becoming stronger is not an end, but a means." Sawada Tsunayoshi said softly, "Don't make a mistake about what we are really pursuing."

There seemed to be something trembling in the depths of the internal organs, and even the hand that held her trembled, but was immediately held tightly by someone, as if afraid that she would withdraw her hand suddenly, or as if she simply wanted to comfort her and courage.

The person holding her held her hand very steadily, and said in a very calm tone: "Air crash, explosion, assassination...Maybe tomorrow, Tsunayoshi Sawada will cease to exist..."

Her heart ached when she heard it, but he stopped for a while as if on purpose, and then continued lightly: "Do you have to wait until then to regret it?"

Suzumiya caught her breath in her throat. When she opened her eyes, she felt that her field of vision was completely dark. After a while, she finally saw the person in front of her. She glared at him angrily, but the other person seemed to have expected her reaction long ago. Remind with a smile: "Say I'm not angry."

Suzumiya Na still stared at him, but under such soft and warm eyes, she only lasted less than five seconds before she had to surrender.

"Cunning." She said what he once said to her.

The other party nodded very naturally.

"asshole."

The young man continued to nod his head, with a smile as a gift, the lethality is MAX.

"cheeky!"

"Ah, this is the quality that a boss must possess." Someone explained.

"..."

Suzumiya felt that she had nothing to say.

In fact, she didn't want to continue anymore, he had already said so much, and the ladder was delivered to her feet, just waiting for her to go down the steps...

Leaving him to practice alone, making it difficult for others and myself at the same time... It's like forcefully forcing tears back into the lacrimal glands. I am in pain, but others still don't understand...

"In this case, let's talk about it today." She looked at him, "A lady from the Rossi family came to me before..."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's face changed slightly, and there was a little panic in his brows, "Sorry, I didn't handle that matter well..."

"Ah, you misunderstood." Suzumiya waved her hand, "I just want to say that the chick was scared by me, I guess you have to explain it to the Rossi family afterwards, I have to say about this Sorry, I have caused you trouble."

An insincere apology...but Tsunayoshi Sawada would never foolishly accuse someone of having a bad attitude at a time like this.

Suzumiya Nai didn't seem to notice the young man's slightly dark expression, and continued to speak to herself: "This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future..."

"Will not."

"Maybe once a week..."

"Will not!"

"At that time, I will be in charge of single-handedly picking women, and you will be in charge of settling her family." Suzumiya finally stopped and glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi, "Is there any problem?"

——What else can Pengelei Judaime say?

The brown-haired young man responded with a smile: "...Of course."

Suzumiya looked at him, and Tsunayoshi Sawada hurriedly put on a correct attitude: "It's absolutely fine, don't worry, leave it to me."

He looked at her anxiously, and then suddenly saw a smile on that face.

It seemed to be a bit bitter, but it was indeed a smile. With that smile, Suzumiya Nai said something that Tsunayoshi Sawada had never thought of——

"I'll give you a chance to betray me. If I'm always so weak, just leave me alone."

"..."

——Sawada Tsunayoshi didn’t know, before Suzumiya Nai said that declaration, in fact, what she repeated between her teeth was another sentence——

I'm still not good enough, but sorry, I can't wait.

Let me stay by your side and overdraw my future happiness...

Suzumiya Nana didn't say any of these words.

This girl is always used to show her cold and strong side in front of people, she is not even as smart as the moon in the sky, she knows how to hide her scarred side behind the shadows, leaving the world with a gentle and beautiful illusion.

"...meaning, if I'm not strong enough, will you abandon me?"

After a while, Sawada Tsunayoshi asked.

Suzumiya was taken aback, "How could that be!"

"Then why do you think I would do this?"

"..."

No one spoke, and the silent two felt a cold spring-like stillness pouring into their bodies at the same time... The cold wind pierced the bones.

At some point, Tsunayoshi Sawada let go of her hand, and Suzumiya felt that her heart was as empty as the hand that was let go.

"Agang?"

He was silent.

"...I'm sorry." She apologized.

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't want to talk to her at first, but when those sad eyes met his eyes...he suddenly found that he couldn't continue to be indifferent to her.

"Come here." He held out his hand to her.

She leaned over obediently.

He held her in his arms, and gently pressed his chin against her hair.

She was still stiff... Even in his arms, her body was still tense... like a sword ready to be unsheathed at any time.

"Aren't you tired of straining your shoulders like this all the time?" He sighed lowly, "Try to close your eyes once in a while, okay, I'm here, and I'll look ahead for you."

I'm not trying to take away the sword in your hand, but seeing you like this... makes me feel unbearable.

You will feel a dull pain in the throbbing place in your chest.

"Try to do what you like, then come back and tell me what you see," he whispered.

For a moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt the person in his arms trembling, but that feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she was still in his arms with the kind of coldness that made him powerless...

She said in a low voice: "If you pamper me so much, you will regret it in the future."

...No, perhaps a small change has occurred somewhere...

Sawada Tsunayoshi was not sure, he looked at the person in front of his chest, saw her withdraw from his arms, looked up at him.

"I'm sorry I lied to you just now," she said.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was slightly taken aback.

"You lied to me... what?"

"The words that I gave you a chance to betray were lying to you." She brows lightly, "If you dare to do that, the current me..."

She raised her hand, and before Sawada Tsunayoshi could react, suddenly that delicate white hand grew sharp claws...

Like a sci-fi movie, a girl turned into a Wolverine with sharp claws in front of him...

"...What will happen, I don't know."

Saying so, she pressed that sharp claw on his left chest, and raised her eyes to look at him, "It's probably a terrible thing... I can't control myself and turn into something hideous and terrifying."

"Are you afraid?" she said.

Whether this sentence is a provocation or a test, even the speaker himself can't tell the difference.

And Tsunayoshi Sawada's answer was not any of what she expected.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

"……what?"

He stretched out his hand to cover the sharp claw pressing on his heart.

"When the bones are deformed, does it hurt?"

"Well, of course it hurts at first, but I'm used to it now... Wait a minute, don't change the subject! Be obedient and act like you're intimidated by me!"

Someone's reaction was to laugh out loud on the spot...

"Fool." He ruffled her hair, and then placed a kiss on her lips.

The warm tongue tapped open, slid over the white teeth, and continued to penetrate.

Light kisses, sweet entanglements.

It's not just one person whose heart beats faster, but it always seems that the woman is weaker in this kind of thing.

Her lips started to tingle slightly, but she couldn't bear to push it away.

Finally he stopped, the moment his lips and teeth parted, Suzumiya found shamefully that she was a little bit lost.

He looped her loosely, with one hand resting between her wrists, his fingers stroking the skin on the side of her wrist, slowly, once, again...

This kind of extremely gentle touch seems to continue the kiss with lips and tongue...

Suzumiya Na's fingers trembled, and her face burned even more.

"Nako is beautiful," he said.

The girl's face was flushed pink, like cherry blossoms in full bloom in March.

She was a little embarrassed, but she still straightened her neck and said, "Of course it's beautiful."

He smiled lowly, "It will always be so beautiful."

"..." Suzumiya Naiki coughed, and even the roots of her ears began to turn red, "...It's not that exaggerated..."

"What you worry about won't happen, so..." He stroked her rosy cheeks, "Nako will always be so beautiful."

Suddenly, Suzumiya Na understood the true meaning of this sentence.

——I said that I will give you a chance to betray, that sentence is a lie to you, if you dare to do that...

...will lose control of themselves and turn into something hideous and terrifying.

He is now answering what she said before.

The sound of the wind suddenly disappeared, and the bone-piercing chill also completely receded.

Her reflection was reflected in his pupils, and she only had him in her eyes.

Those words that she once thought would never be possible to utter, suddenly poured out of her mouth like flowing water——

"In the past four years, in that world, I sometimes feel very tired, and feel that life like that is unbearable for one more second..."

"But now I'm glad I stuck with it."

As she said so, she showed him a bright smile that she had never seen before.

"I'm very happy."

Because of my persistence, now I am closer to you.

In the past, I used to prepare for the worst in everything, but this time, I am willing to believe that as long as I jump hard again, I can touch the corner of happiness.

Standing in the same place, looking in the same direction.

It is not only a family member, but also a companion, and a person who can be with you for a lifetime.

Parents age, children grow up, siblings find their other half, and friends have lives of their own.

There is only one relationship in which I can confidently declare permanent possession of you.

"...There is something I want to tell you." She lowered her head and took out something from her close-fitting pocket. "This, I broke it."

What she held in her hand was a small plastic bag, which contained several slender pieces of metal, and it could be vaguely seen that it was once a ring.

"Are there any new ones?" She looked at him and asked.

——If Suzumiya Nana had a more shy expression and more loving eyes when she said this sentence... then Sawada Tsunayoshi would definitely understand the true meaning of this sentence.

However, it took a lot of courage for Ms. Nako to be able to say this, and all her energy was used to control her voice. As a result, her facial expression at this moment...perfectly copied the facial paralysis of the killer Ilmi... …

As for Sawada Tsunayoshi, just now he was immersed in someone's bright smile and true love confession, but the topic suddenly jumped to the battle ring, and the other party gave him a cold face...

Inexplicable and a little aggrieved, Pengelie Judaimu could only pretend to be calm and replied: "Well, there are many fog attribute rings in Pengelie's headquarters. I will find one for you when I go back."

"..."

Suzumiya Nana carefully observed the man's expression, and after five seconds she was sure...

The bright moon shines on the ditch...

Silently putting away the broken ring, Suzumiya said expressionlessly, "Go back, it's so cold here."

"Eh?...Well, okay."

Suzumiya Nai's first and only marriage proposal came to an end...

Many years later, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who failed to propose marriage for the seventh time, recalled today's scene and almost shed tears...
