[Net King] Winter Snow

Every day in the third year of junior high school seemed ordinary to Uemura Yuriko.From time to time in late autumn, ginkgo leaves fall from the trees, and a large area of ​​golden yellow spreads on the school road, forming one of the few warmth in the bleak wind.

The girl with double ponytails can always hear a lot of news from other people, such as the tennis club known as the king Li Haida has lost in the national competition this year, and it seems that the head of the propaganda department of the student union is about to go abroad study abroad.Ever since she accidentally heard the dispute between Genichiro Sanada and Yoshihei Harada, Yuriko Uemura hadn't really seen those two boys for about half a year.But about the news about these two people, she has been heard from others.

Sitting in the student union's office, the girl rubbed the space between her brows, feeling a little tired from the many documents accumulated in front of her.On the other side, Yagyu Hiroshi, who had been reading the documents with his head down, suddenly raised his head, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"Although I think you've heard it from others, I think I should tell you officially—" the boy with the oval lens said calmly, "Jiping will leave the country next week."

The girl who was still rubbing the center of her brow obviously paused, and her eyes that were originally closed slowly opened, but she lowered her head and did not look directly into Hiroshi Yagyu's eyes.Uemura Yuriko pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, before she finally said, "Ah, I see."

Hearing Uemura Yuriko's indifferent answer, Yagyu Bilu sighed inaudibly.He knew that the girl sitting opposite him must not be as calm and indifferent as she appeared on the surface at the moment, but Uemura Yuriko's unilateral avoidance of Harada Yoshihei has been going on for half a year. The boy knew that the relationship between the two would not change even if they went to high school, so he made such a decision.

In the week before Harada Yoshihei went abroad, Yuriko Uemura also hesitated whether to say goodbye before the other party left, but finally stopped at the back door of Group A.A girl came out of the classroom, looked at Yuriko Uemura standing at the back door, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.The girl's smile was a bit regretful, and she said to Yuriko Uemura in a soft voice, "Harada-kun's plane left for the United States on Saturday, so I won't come to school this week."

To be honest, Yuriko Uemura was not surprised by this news. Although she was indeed a little regretful and helpless, she thought that even if Harada Yoshihei hadn't asked for leave, she probably wouldn't have the courage to step into the class of Group A to meet the light brown-haired The boy said goodbye.

"Do you regret it?" Hiroshi Yagyu asked her on the phone the night after Yoshihei Harada left.

"I have always felt that there is one sentence that is the truth." Yuriko Uemura's answer was wrong, "If you don't express your heart, you can be friends for a lifetime, but if you say something you like, you will not even be friends."

"Do you think Ji Ping shouldn't pursue you?" Hiroshi Yagyu's voice on the other side of the phone seemed a little helpless.

"No, I just think I'm a coward." Looking up at the bright yellow light bulb, Yuriko Uemura raised her hand to cover her eyes, and the dim light through her fingers made the girl's eyes narrow.The corner of the girl's mouth curled into a wry smile, she knew that this situation would happen entirely because she dared not face it.

The girl who suffered from insomnia all night originally thought that Chu Liangxue would definitely notice her appearance with serious dark circles under her eyes, but to her surprise, the girl who had always been lively and energetic was sitting on the seat at the moment, and she looked listless.

In such a strange situation for several days, Yuriko Uemura could clearly sense that Chu Liangxue's mind was getting heavier day by day, but the girl never explained anything to her.Sometimes Yuriko Uemura would see her running to the door of Nioh Masaharu's group, but for some reason the silver-haired boy just looked at Chu Liangxue in silence, and then the two remained silent until the end Chu Liangxue couldn't bear the dead silence and fled back to the class.

"I feel that something is wrong with Chuliang recently, but when I asked her what's wrong, she kept saying nothing, a little... a little worried." Hitting the table with the pen tip, Yuriko Uemura sighed.

"You don't know?" Liu Sheng was a little surprised by Lu Shi's tone, frowning and sighing, "I thought you already knew."

"Know what?" Yuriko Uemura asked puzzledly, looking at the young man suspiciously.

"She broke up with Nioh, the day before yesterday." Yagyu Hiroshi's words were like a bombshell, making Uemura Yuriko pause instantly.The girl in the student union office immediately stood up and ran back to Group F impatiently.

"Pa——" the door of the classroom was pulled open violently, and the wooden door panel knocked heavily on the edge. Yuriko Uemura walked up to Chu Liangxue in three steps at a time. It was unspeakable anger.

"You broke up with Nioh Masaharu?" The voice of the girl with twin ponytails gradually became high, even attracting the attention of everyone around, "Why? Why did he break up with you?"

"It's just not suitable." Chu Liangxue paused for a moment, then shook her head and said with a calm smile.

"Just kidding! Since it wasn't suitable, why did he propose dating!" Obviously dissatisfied with the girl's calm answer, Yuriko Uemura slapped Chu Liangxue's table heavily with both hands.

"Okay, Lily, I'm not angry, so don't you." Chu Liangxue, who has always been full of energy, unexpectedly became obedient and calm at this moment. The girl just smiled lightly, as if she had completely accepted that she was broken up this matter.

"You..." Yuriko Uemura wanted to say something, but when she faced Chu Liangxue's flawless smile, she couldn't say anything.

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, seeing the worried face of the girl with twin tails, Chu Liangxue patted Uemura Yuriko's head in turn to comfort her.

Seeing Chu Liangxue's appearance, Yuriko Uemura burst into tears.She knew very well how much Chu Liangxue liked Nioh Masaharu, so she also knew exactly what kind of mood the girl in front of her was using to deliberately pretend that she was fine.Yuriko Uemura really wanted to tell Chu Liangxue that she could also give her a shoulder to cry on, just like how Chu Liangxue comforted her after Genichiro Sanada confessed everything to her.But this girl just smiled and hid all the bitterness behind so that no one else could see it.

The tears fell more and more fiercely, Yuriko Uemura felt like an idiot at the moment.Obviously Chu Liangxue, who was the person involved, didn't cry, but she cried like a fool because of the girl in front of her.Thinking of Liangxue's sweet smiles at the beginning, she even gradually lost her social circle because of Masaharu Nioh, and later, Yuriko Uemura thought of her hopeless love and the day when she broke up with Genichiro Sanada.Chu Liangxue hugged her head, patted her back lightly, and why she was crying, Uemura Yuriko couldn't figure it out in the end.

Seeing Chu Liangxue's more energetic smile day by day, everyone around thought that the girl had recovered from the blow of broken love, but looking at the other side's profile, Yuriko Uemura knew better than anyone that Chu Liangxue had actually been trapped in the name... In Nioh Masaharu's cage, he has never come out.

On the first day of high school, Yuriko Uemura stood in front of the bulletin board and read the list of new students from beginning to end, but she still didn't see Chu Liangxue's name.She felt that she should have guessed that the girl would leave Lihai University. After all, Chu Liangxue had no reason to stay in the high school where Nioh Masaharu was.

"I always feel a little lonely." Looking at the cherry blossom petals floating in her hand, Yuriko Uemura shook her head lightly, and said to Yagyu who was standing beside her, "I used to think that my high school would definitely have Chuliang, Jiping, and others. With you, but now it turns out that only Bilushi is alone."

"Did you exclude the vice minister directly?" Pushing his glasses, Hiroshi Yagyu mentioned Genichiro Sanada so straightforwardly for the first time in front of Yuriko Uemura.

Unexpectedly, Yagyu would mention that black-haired boy in front of her. Yuriko Uemura's eyes widened a little, and then she slowly became relieved as if thinking of something, "What did Ji Ping say to you?"

"No," the boy's voice was very straightforward, "Even if you don't need him to say it, your country's enthusiasm for the deputy minister is obvious to all."

"Yeah, indeed." Recalling how she was chasing Genichiro Sanada every day, Yuriko Uemura's expression was a little nostalgic, "I always thought that I could definitely date Sanada-kun. Although sometimes Dull, sometimes he will frown and reprimand me, but I still like him, I like him very much."

With her hands behind her back, Yuriko Uemura stepped slowly on the school road covered with cherry blossoms.The girl's steps were very light, and her words were also very light. The smile on her face was obviously a smile, but it was filled with inexplicable sadness.Suddenly, the girl stopped walking, her voice became a little trembling, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth was tinged with bitterness.

"It's because I like it that I hate it." She said.

Seeing Uemura Yuriko's smile that was about to cry, Yagyu Hiroshi suddenly understood why Harada Yoshihei never mentioned Sanada Genichiro in front of her, and at the same time he was not allowed to mention Sanada in front of Uemura.Their deputy minister is probably a knot in Yuriko Uemura's heart forever.

On the other side, Yuriko Uemura had just finished saying that when she saw the man she had been hiding for two years standing behind Hiroshi Yagyu.Genichiro Sanada seemed to be much taller than her, and his originally resolute facial lines became tougher. When the wind blew, the boy's short black hair was blown, revealing his deep eyes under the brim of his hat.

Originally, the boy just saw Yagyu Hiroshi's figure, so he wanted to come over to say hello, but when he got closer, he found Uemura Yuriko who was covered by Yagyu's figure.The girl's voice was talking softly. Genichiro Sanada had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but when he heard what the girl said clearly, he stopped in place and couldn't move.

Genichiro Sanada saw Yuriko Uemura's surprised gaze when she raised her head, and the girl's gaze seemed to accuse him of not being here.Yagyu, who had his back turned to him, seemed to have sensed Uemura's anomaly, and only after turning around did he see himself standing here.Yagyu Hiroshi was sandwiched between the two of them, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded to Genichiro Sanada as a greeting.Just as Sanada was about to open his mouth to leave, Yagyu was one step ahead of him.Watching the back of the other party leaving, Genichiro Sanada didn't know how to face being alone with Yuriko Uemura.

"Did you hear that?" Yuriko Uemura finally spoke after a long time.

"If you don't want me to hear it, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it." Closing his eyes, Sanada Genichiro's voice was not as deep and deep as before.There was some compromise in the boy's words, but to Uemura Yuriko's ears, it was more like charity.

"I like you. It's not something that needs to be concealed, so there's no need for Sanada-kun to act as if you didn't hear it." Frowning fiercely, Yuriko Uemura's tone became a little aggravated, "But there is one thing, please be sure to share with me just now Remember the words together—Uemura Yuriko, she hates Genichiro Sanada."

Biting her lower lip tightly, the girl left the place without looking back after she finished speaking.She didn't want to face that face for even a second. For Yuriko Uemura, Genichiro Sanada's existence was like a Pandora's box, drawing her closer while reminding her that it was a disaster.
