[Net King] Winter Snow

Ever since Chu Liangxue dated Nioh Masaharu, Uemura Yuriko felt that she suddenly became alone.The girl with curly and straight hair almost regarded Nioh Masaharu as the center of gravity of the world, and even when the two of them chatted, they kept talking about that boy.

Yuriko Uemura even felt a little jealous of Masaharu Nioh for the appearance of the young girl in early coolness.

"Hey, Chu Liang, let's have lunch together later?" Putting the textbooks on the table into the desk, the girl with twin ponytails patted Chu Liangxue's shoulder on the front desk.

"Sorry, Yuriko." Chu Liangxue closed her eyes tightly, put her hands together, lowered her head, and quietly opened one eye to peek at Yuriko Uemura's expression, "I agreed to have lunch with the fox..."

"No, come again?" exaggeratedly shouted, Yuriko Uemura looked helpless, "Tell me, is this the first time you have put me aside because of Nioh Masaharu?"

"Probably... the fifth time?" After carefully recalling it, Chu Liangxue carefully said a number that even she herself was not sure about.

"I didn't ask you to really count, idiot!" Feeling deeply tired of Chu Liangxue's natural stupid behavior that she couldn't look directly at, Yuriko Uemura stroked her forehead, and finally compromised, "Forget it, you go Right. The first love is the biggest, I understand."

"Hey." Seeing Chu Liangxue blushed a little, and then smiled embarrassedly, Yuriko Uemura felt that the sweet light of love emitted by the other party could blind herself.

Facing the situation where she was the only one eating bento again, the girl with two ponytails sighed, picked up the bento box and walked towards group C.Kinomoto Kotoko, who was still chatting with the back table, turned around slightly after seeing Yuriko Uemura's actions and teased her.

"Go to Group C to find Sanada-kun again?" she said.

"Why is it again? Don't say it like I'm running to Group C every day." Reaching out to poke Kimoto Kotoko's face, Uemura Yuriko was obviously dissatisfied with the other party's words.

"Isn't it?" Kimoto Kotoko, who was poked on the cheek by the girl, got excited instead, with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Although I don't go every day, it's about the same rhythm, right? I bet the people in Group C didn't One who doesn't know you."

"...Goodbye!" Unable to refute the words of the girl next door, Yuriko Uemura held back for a long time, and finally puffed her cheeks and hummed softly.

"Pfft!" When she left the classroom with her lunch box, the girl with ponytails could still hear Kotoko Kimoto's uncontrollable laughter.Rubbing her forehead helplessly, she thought that her liking for Genichiro Sanada had probably become known to the whole school again.

When she reached the gate of Group C, Yuriko Uemura paused slightly.Through the half-open door, the girl saw not only Genichiro Sanada who was sitting on the seat with his head bowed and writing something, but also Yoshihei Harada who was standing two rows away from him and chatting with others at the back of the classroom.

Recalling what Yoshihei Harada said to herself a few months ago, Yuriko Uemura felt infinitely guilty and ashamed. Since that time, the boy with light brown hair has indeed never appeared between her and Genichiro Sanada again. The more than one confrontation between the three in the past has not happened again.

That boy would still carefully discuss the project with her in the student council office, and then joked that Hiroshi Yagyu had been playing golf for too long when he came in.Occasionally, because the plan was rejected, the three of them would go back to work together until six or seven in the evening, and finally go to a ramen shop to eat tonkotsu ramen, but no matter which time, Harada Yoshihei would never use that kind of discerning person again. You can tell by looking at her with eyes of admiration.

——Although it was what she wanted, the guilt in her heart couldn't stop.

That day, Yuriko Uemura did not explicitly say that Harada Yoshihei's liking troubled her, but whether it was the silence or the emotion in the girl's eyes, they clearly conveyed this message to the light brown-haired boy.

She doesn't like him.

Even, she didn't allow him to like her.

"Uemura-san?" A sudden voice interrupted Uemura Yuriko's thoughts, "Are you looking for Sanada-kun?" The person who spoke was a tall and thin girl.Uemura Yuriko was convinced that she didn't know the girl in front of her, and when she saw that the other party called Genichiro Sanada out of the classroom for her, and then walked into the classroom and sat in the second row of seats, Uemura Yuriko had to admit that she didn't know her before. What Ben Qinzi said, "There is no one in Group C who doesn't know you" has some truth to it.

"Is there something wrong?" Genichiro Sanada's voice was a bit rigid as he stood in front of the girl with twin ponytails.

"Ah..." Scratching her own cheek, Uemura Yuriko raised the bento box in her hand, "Chuliang abandoned me again, so I came to find Genichiro for lunch."

"..." Looking at the girl with a helpless smile in front of him, Genichiro Sanada was silent for a while, then nodded and answered "Yes".

The wind outside the classroom window was a bit strong, and the whistling east wind made the glass shake a little.The heating in the classroom was turned on fairly well, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor made the windows covered with a light layer of white mist.

Uemura Yuriko sat at the front table of Genichiro Sanada, turned around and ate bento with the boy.The people around have become accustomed to Uemura Yuriko's behavior of running here and there twice in three days, and even Takemoto, who was at the front desk of the boy, offered to give up his seat with a face of ridicule when he saw Uemura Yuriko.

"Winter vacation is coming soon." Yuriko Uemura sighed softly as she looked at the frost-covered dead tree branches outside.

"Before that, there is an exam at the end of the semester." Genichiro Sanada's words were just like his own, rigid and regular.

"I know." Waving her hand, Yuriko Uemura propped her chin with her left hand and gestured something in the air with her chopsticks in her right hand, "If I can continue to stay in the top three this time, I should give me another one at the beginning of the third semester." A scholarship?"

Uemura Yuriko's words seemed to have hit some mechanism, making Genichiro Sanada's movements pause.But the girl didn't notice the subtle behavior of the other party at all, and just continued on her own, "Although it's not a lot, it's because it's enough to pay for the water and electricity bills of the apartment this month... If you do the math, you'll have plenty of money when you visit relatives in the New Year." some."

The cold winter wind was still blowing outside the teaching building, but the black-haired boy in the classroom was looking at the girl with ponytails, unable to speak for a while.

Obviously she is the only one in the country, and obviously this kind of thing should not be something she needs to consider, but...

******

The prison in the twelfth lunar month is colder than the ice cellar. When Uemura Ami walked through the iron door, she could clearly feel a chilling chill coming towards her. At the end of the corridor, her husband was still It's going to be a long, long time.

Pushing open the cold iron door, the woman with traces of soot in her hair saw her lover sitting on a gray chair with silver handcuffs on his hands.The man's hair was grayer than when she saw him last time, and the originally clean chin was covered with dense stubble.The high-spirited Senator Uemura back then became embarrassed, with his head bowed as if he was confessing something.

"Tian Ichiro..." Uemura Ami's voice was hoarse through the transparent glass.

"Ami, you're here." Uemurata Ichiro, who seemed a little downcast before, cheered up immediately after seeing his wife, and his dull brown eyes became much brighter.

"Is it cold?" Seeing her husband's pale face from the cold, Uemura Ami almost burst into tears.

The man behind the glass shook his head, and the expression between his brows gradually became gentle, "I'm fine." As he said so, Uemura Ami's eyes turned a little red, "How old are you? How old are you?" Crying like this." Uemurata Ichiro's words were full of helplessness, but his eyes were full of doting on his wife.

"I'm sorry, Ami." Looking at the sobbing wife in front of him, the man's voice gradually became sad, "I obviously wanted you and Yuriko to live a better life...but it turned out like this."

"Obviously at first I just wanted to make the person I like happy, but before I knew it, it became so dirty..."

"Sorry……"

Uemura Ami, who was sitting here, shook her head desperately, the tears in her eyes kept dripping down, but she was so choked up that she couldn't say a word.She didn't stop crying until the end of the last visit.Taking one last look at Uemurata Ichiro, Uemura Ami watched helplessly as the other party was led into the dark blue door by the police, and gradually became invisible.

Walking out of the corridor step by step, Uemura Ami hadn't gone outside when she heard someone talking in the next room.

"Hey, I just heard great news!" The young voice seemed very excited.

"What's the matter?" The aged voice was indifferent, "What did you hear again?"

"It's not just hearsay this time! It's absolutely true! I heard it with my own ears!" The young man retorted.

"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, hurry up."

"It's Shangcun that the lady came to visit today!"

"You mean ex-member Uemura?"

"That's right, that's him!" The other party's voice paused, and then said, "I just heard that the person who reported and exposed the former member of Uemura was not Officer Sanada!"
