[Comprehensive] The boy accused by his younger brother

Japan's winters are not as dry as those in the interior, but temperatures are still cool.

The crowd on the street walked quickly, carrying bags of all sizes.The traffic lights at the intersection of the street alternated, and the green lights flashed on.

The boy in the dark brown windbreaker exhaled into the palm of his hand, and followed the crowd through the passage.

"Xiao... Yao?"

There was surprise in the temptation, and there was a unique joy in the young man's hoarse voice.

Nanase Haruka turned her head in doubt, and when she saw the person who stopped her, she couldn't help but froze in place.

Since sending Rin Matsuoka to the airport that day, tacitly, the two have not been in touch for a long time.Therefore, Nanase Haruka, who was somewhat shocked when they met suddenly on the road, was completely confused, and didn't even notice that she was led near the school by Matsuoka Rin.

"Hey! Don't you know how to take care of yourself in such a cold weather?" Matsuoka Rin held Nanase Haruka's hand all the way, her delicate fingers without a trace of warmth, like frost on the branches and leaves in the morning light.With a harsh tone, he taught the young man who bowed his head and said nothing, but in the blink of an eye he took off his gloves and threw them over, "Lend it to you first, don't lose it!"

Holding the gloves, Haruka Nanase stared blankly at Rin Matsuoka, who turned his head, revealing his reddish ears.

The slight redness of the rice, like the warm sunlight, seeped into Nanase Haruka's heart, and he asked slowly: "When did you... come back? How did you live there?"

"It's okay, the school happened to be on holiday a few days ago, so I came back and planned to leave after the Chinese New Year." Speaking of his study life, Matsuoka Rin had a proud smile in his eyes, "Let me tell you, I am here The school found a teacher who is very good at swimming. And the swimming club I joined was very good, the students in it were on par with me, but I was still the best!"

Nanase Haruka listened quietly to Matsuoka Rin, he didn't mind if the other party would surpass him.But seeing the person in front of him so happy, he felt very happy for some reason.

"By the way, how are Qin and Nagisa?" After talking for a long time, Matsuoka Rin also felt a little overwhelmed. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Are you in the same school? When I sorted things abroad, I seemed to put their Lost their contact details and couldn't find them with their previous email addresses."

Nanase Haruka's gray-blue eyes were bright, with an imperceptible smile inside, "Nagi is still a year away from entering junior high school, and Qin and I study in the same class. They are all very good, and I will help you next time I see them." Let me know, I'll give you their phone number later."

"Okay, maybe we can still get together!" Rin Matsuoka smiled brightly, and looked up at the clear blue sky above. "I really miss the days when we swam together."

Nanase Haruka looked at Rin Matsuoka intently and did not speak.

"Although Qin is easy to talk to, but every time he competes, he is not soft-hearted. He has to have a high or low before giving up. He thought I didn't know, just because I jumped a few seconds faster than you, and every time I tossed others, I was exhausted. Zhu He laughs and laughs every day, but he takes swimming as seriously as we do. Do you still remember that time when we were halfway through the swim, he suddenly had a headache, and he just kept it from us until we reached the destination? That kind of toughness is really scary." Matsuoka Rin recalled every bit of the time with his partner with great interest, and a dazzling light burst out from the bottom of his eyes.

If it wasn't for his love of swimming, he would really be reluctant to leave Japan and leave these partners who have struggled with him.

Likewise, it shows how much swimming holds in his heart.

After talking for a while, Rin Matsuoka's initial excitement gradually subsided.He stopped to catch his breath, pursed his lips and opened his mouth——

"Any news about that guy?"

Haruka Nanase froze for a moment, but then thought of who Rin Matsuoka was talking about.The light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, "No, we haven't been able to find him since you left."

It's not just that he can't find it, that person seems to have evaporated from the world.When Tachibana Makoto went to the small house by the sea, there was no one there.Neighbors nearby said that the old lady moved out, but no one knew where.Ye Yuezhu took the missing person poster drawn by Nanase Haruka and asked around, and found many people he knew, but there was no news.

The time of separation is getting longer and longer, but Yize seems to have disappeared, without giving them any clues, let alone finding them.What's more, they still have studies.Children are limited in their abilities, and even a group of children can only do so much.

Seeing Nanase Haruka shaking his head, Matsuoka Rin was not surprised, but the loss in his eyes was obvious.

"That guy...as for?"

He admitted that he had selfish motives when he decided to leave, but it was because he saw that the people around him were stronger than him, and he was a young man who refused to admit defeat.Coupled with Yi Ze's repeated stimulation, he decided to leave his hometown to seek advice.

But...he didn't say to give up his friend!

The boy's lips were tightly pursed, and his tense expression showed that he was in a terrible mood at the moment.

His every move fell into Haruka Nanase's eyes, and worry flowed from the bottom of her gray-blue pupils.He is not good at comforting people, so he can only change the subject clumsily, "I learned a lot in a foreign country."

"Ah."

Frustrated Matsuoka Rin lowered his head, not seeing Nanase Haruka's cautious expression clearly.

"What kind of person is the coach? How is he treating you?" She racked her brains to think of topics that could divert her attention. This was the first time Nanase Haruka wanted to actively communicate with others.

Rin Matsuoka rubbed her eyes, her expression improved a lot, "Well, I learned a lot."

Looking at the cherry blossom tree not far ahead, he suddenly remembered the trophy they buried together at that time, and that exciting and unforgettable game.

Thinking of my daily training abroad day and night, the rejection of the team members, and the harshness of the coach.Rin Matsuoka stood up with a "huh", with an uncontrollable fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Let's compete!"

Nanase Haruka was dragged into the swimming pool by Rin Matsuoka in a daze, and stood on the diving platform in a swimsuit.

In fact, he prefers chatting with Matsuoka Rin than swimming.

People outside are still wearing scarves and gloves to resist the severe winter, and a special competition has already begun in the swimming pool.

The time for the competition was very short. It was a rest day and it was winter. Although the swimming pool was heated, no one went in to swim, and there were no people watching their competition. No one knew what the outcome of the competition would be. .

It's just that Matsuoka Rin, who was the first to get dressed, turned pale, as if he had been provoked by someone.Behind him was Nanase Haruka who was stunned, and walked behind him unhurriedly.

"cold……"

Nanase Haruka watched in surprise as Matsuoka Rin staggered the hand he extended, and stopped in place in a daze.

Looking at Nanase Haruka's injured face, Matsuoka Rin's heart softened.Thinking of what he had suffered before, his face became even uglier, "Don't come here."

"why……"

"Nothing!" Rin Matsuoka turned his head away from Haruka Nanase, took a deep breath, "Stop following, I don't want to see you!"

Nanase Haruka opened her eyes wide, a trace of grievance flashed in her clear eyes, but she really stopped in her tracks.

cold……

A gust of wind blows, and the time goes back to not long after that game.

The sky in early autumn is blue and clear, and occasionally a cool breeze blows, and the trees on both sides of the street will shed leaves.

In the garden downstairs of the hospital, few patients came out for a walk in the evening.Sparse people walked back to the ward, and the place that was originally relatively lively became quiet for a moment.

In a corner covered by bushes, there is a faint bluish white.

"Little brother! Little brother! Where are you?" Nitori Aiichiro ran in with a coat bigger than him, and shouted while looking around.

After running around the garden, I finally found what I was looking for behind a bush.

It was a teenager slumped in a wheelchair, with a pale face and a weak body.A few pieces of gauze bandages were stuck on the part of the arm that was exposed outside the hospital gown, and there were patches of bruises on the uncovered parts.

At a glance, he knew that he was a seriously ill person.

Putting the coat in his hand on the boy, Aiichiro Nitori happily pushed him towards the ward.

"Brother, the method you taught me really works! This time I won the second place in the group, and my father agreed to let me continue swimming!" Nitori Aiichiro happily told the boy how he broke into the group final. He also asked for credit, "Little brother, do you think I am not good at it!"

The boy seemed to have difficulty moving, he raised his hand clumsily to pat Aiichiro Nitori.Although it was only a weak expression, it made the child even more happy. "Little brother, my father said that he will bring delicious milk porridge today. Let's eat together later."

The boy's dull eyes looked at the gradually darkening sky, without saying a word.When he was about to be pushed into the building, he said slowly: "Wait a minute."

Hearing the boy's words, Nitori Aiichiro let go of his hand in disbelief, and came to the boy's side, extremely excited: "Little brother! Little brother, can you talk? I heard it right!"

Seeing the child so happy, the boy nodded slowly, with imperceptible pain slipping through his eyes.

"Great! You're going to be fine! You're going to be!"

Nitori Aiichiro found Izawa fainted when he saw off his traveling grandfather at the airport.At that time, his father was also by his side, he did simple emergency treatment and sent Ize to the hospital.

The result of the examination is that Ize's organs have begun to age to varying degrees, and various functions are gradually weakening.They couldn't contact Yi Ze's family, and the child liked Yi Ze very much, and Yi Ze had taken care of the child, so they arranged for him to be hospitalized.

Knowing that Ize's condition could only get worse day by day, the adults couldn't bear to let the two children lose confidence, so they only said that there would be a way.This time when Ize spoke, Aiichiro Nitori felt that his father hadn't lied to him, and that his little brother could still get better.

"Do you like swimming?"

Although he didn't know why he asked that, the child nodded obediently.

"If you like it, you must stick to it."

"Ah."

After receiving the care and company of the child for many days, Ize decided to say one more sentence, "Remember, what you insist on is the original love, not to be aggressive. Otherwise, the heart of chasing freedom and dreams will be lost. Never to be found again."

"Ah?" The child still couldn't understand such vague and profound words, he tilted his head and looked at Yize with a puzzled face.

Ize didn't say any more, he raised his hand and rubbed the child's hair, and after outputting the last bit of strength, he barely maintained his normal voice and said, "I'm a little thirsty, can you go get me a glass of water?"

"Yeah." The child didn't doubt him, and immediately got up and ran to find water.

Yize looked at the child's disappearing figure, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.He leaned on the wheelchair silently, his pale face was almost pale.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, making his body appear thinner, with a faint tendency to be transparent.

Stretching out his hand, looking at the lightly white fingers, Ize closed his eyes gently.

A moment later, a burst of white light flashed.

In the garden, there is no trace of it.No wheelchair, and no pale teenager.
