After that conversation in the student council, Yagyu Hiroshi also vaguely mentioned several times to Yuriko Uemura to attend the school festival together, but she was always fooled by the girl in a tactful or perfunctory way past.So until the day of the Hyotei Academy Festival, Yagyu failed to get the girl to go with them.

The midday sun was unbelievably good, and there was no sign of rain showers in the forecast of the day before yesterday.Going around in the Ice Emperor's campus, the originally large team gradually became loose, and finally only Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichiro remained.As the student council president and vice president of Rikkai University, Hiroshi Yagyu and Ryotsu Hatsune left the team early, while Seiichi Yukimura also left with a smile after making a phone call.Looking at the brown-haired boy beside him, Genichiro Sanada suddenly said, "Renji, about Takeuchi-san..."

Liu Lian, who heard the voice, turned her head to look at Sanada, while the black-haired boy paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, "Forget it, it's nothing."

"It's not Genichiro's style to dawdle like this." The usually calm boy closed his eyes and said calmly.Genichiro Sanada next to him didn't respond, he just pulled the brim of his hat and continued walking on the school road of Heidei.

"Do you want to talk about Qingjian and Uemura-san?" Seeing Genichiro Sanada's back, Liu Renji said helplessly.The boy who was walking in front obviously paused, and then took another step as if nothing happened.

"After all, Uemura-san fell in love at first sight, and Kiyomi is more sensible than you think." As expected, Sanada Genichiro stopped walking as soon as Liu Lian finished speaking, "It's just that he is not very good at dealing with people. "

"Takeuchi-san doesn't seem like a good person to get along with." After a long silence, Genichiro Sanada said that, and then he seemed to realize that something was wrong with his words, and the boy added again, "I mean Takeuchi-san Personality is more extreme and irritating, there is no other meaning."

"Well, I know." Nodding, Liu Renji walked to Genichiro Sanada's side, "So Uemura-san needs Kiyomi, and Kiyomi also needs Uemura-san."

Not understanding the other party's logic at all, Genichiro Sanada frowned slightly as if he wanted to refute something, but was blocked by Liu Renji's words.

"You should know that Uemura-san is no longer a child." Liu Lian'er's expression was quite serious, and for a moment the black-haired boy didn't know what to say, "She needs someone who can clearly point out her shortcomings, and It's not just pretending to please others with a smile." After a pause, the brown-haired boy seemed to remember something, and his face became a little soft and helpless, "Qingjian is also, she needs someone who can accommodate her and change her extreme thinking , and that person cannot be me."

"You are her lover." Genichiro Sanada said clearly.

"That's why it can't be me." Liu Lian Er's smile was a bit bitter, "I don't want her to feel that even her only support thinks that she is too extreme and irritating now."

"You protect Takeuchi-san too much, it's not good for her." Pointing out the other party's protection of Takeuchi Kiyomi, Sanada Genichiro knew that the girl's situation in school was not very good.

"This sentence also applies to you, Genichiro." Without directly answering the other party's words, Liu Renji just brought the topic to Sanada, "Always take care of her aftermath in a place where Uemura-san can't see it, but these things What's the point if you don't let her know."

"She doesn't need to know." Even if she knew, it would only increase her troubles.

"If you don't let her know, she will never know what you have done for her and how much you have done." Seeing Genichiro Sanada's frown and hesitant expression, the brown-haired boy shook his head. , knowing that the other party does not want to continue this topic.It was like this every time, as long as the matter of Yuriko Uemura was mentioned, Genichiro Sanada would become particularly hesitant.Looking at the time, Liu Lian Er said, "Then it's almost time, I'll be back in half an hour."

"Aren't you waiting for Yukimura to come with you?" Sanada asked looking at the darkening sky.

"Xingcun should have gone to look for Nishiku-san, and I'm afraid he won't go back with us." Liu Lian-er said so, paused and continued, "And I see that the part-time job over there is almost over, and I have to pick it up." she."

"Then let's go together." Looking at the noisy crowd laughing at the school festival, Genichiro Sanada seemed to be still thinking about the previous things, but after saying that, he fell into silence again.

The color in the sky gradually turned yellow, and when the two of them walked out of the ice emperor, there was only a ray of sunset left.Stepping on the tram platform, Sanada Genichiro was blinded by the sudden drizzle before he could see the arrival time of the next tram.Just like yesterday's weather forecast, there was rain in the dark sky.

"It's raining." Reaching out to touch the fine raindrops, Liu Lian'er closed her eyes and said.

"En." Responding to Yanagi Renji's words with a slightly deep voice, Genichiro Sanada took the umbrella out of his bag.

The next tram came not too slowly, the two teenagers had just held up their umbrellas when the sound of the tram rumbled from the track.In the rain curtain, two groups of bright yellow light circles approached quickly, and finally stopped in the sound of a woman's station announcement.There was some damp smell of rain in the carriage, and the water stains on the ground were formed by the drops falling from the umbrella surface.Liu Lian'er and Genichiro Sanada were sitting next to each other, and instead of the rain outside decreasing, it felt like it was getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, Liu Lian'er's cell phone vibrated, the brown-haired boy took out the phone from his pocket and quickly scanned it, then sighed helplessly, and moved his thumb quickly to reply something.Seeing Liu Renji's distressed appearance, Genichiro Sanada asked, "What's wrong?"

"Qingjian asked me if I had a spare umbrella." After gesturing to the text message on the phone, Liu Lian'er's smile was quite gentle and indulgent, "I told her that I went to Bingdi to participate in the school festival today, and the spare umbrella is here." In school."

"Aren't you going to pick her up? What do you need a spare umbrella for?" Genichiro Sanada frowned slightly, wondering why the other party needed a spare umbrella.

"It's said that the part-time workers didn't bring an umbrella. Such a heavy rain may not make a girl go home in the rain." Shaking her head, Liu Lianer considered whether to go to a convenience store to buy a transparent umbrella.

"Uemura?" Genichiro Sanada asked calmly as he watched the rain gradually turn into torrential rain outside. He remembered that Kiyomi Takeuchi and Yuriko Uemura worked part-time at the same restaurant.

As if she didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, Liu Lianji stared at Genichiro Sanada's face for a while, and then said slowly, "Probably not, Uemura-san's recent schedule is different from Kiyomi's."

The black-haired boy who got the answer didn't say much, but the rain after getting off the tram was no longer something he could resist going home in the rain.Looking at the pouring rain outside the platform, Sanada Genichiro finally chose to go to the restaurant with Yanagi Renji.According to Takeuchi Kiyoshi's narration in the text message, the other party seems to be in the opposite direction to Liu's family, and he and Liu Lian'er's house are also in the opposite direction. If this is the case, it doesn't matter to drop that girl off.

Originally, Genichiro Sanada really thought so, but——

"Qianhui, are you here to take over?" The moment the door of the restaurant was pushed open, Yuriko Uemura's cheerful voice came from the kitchen, "Kimiko and I are just about to leave."

The umbrella that had just been put away had not had time to be shaken dry, and the rain on the umbrella fell to the ground drop by drop, forming puddles under Genichiro Sanada's feet.The black-haired young man saw Yuriko Uemura's shock for a moment, and his obsidian-like eyes showed a little bit of embarrassment and reluctance. Until the end, there was not even a hint of a coquettish smile on the girl's face.

Sighing silently in his heart, Genichiro Sanada looked away from Yuriko Uemura, and nodded to Kiyomi Takeuchi beside the girl as a greeting.But the other party walked up to Liu Lian'er as if he didn't even see him, "Lian'er, umbrella."

Seeing Qingjian Takeuchi asking for a spare umbrella, Liu Lianer said helplessly, "Qingjian, I told you I'm going to the Bingdi Academy Festival today, where did you get the spare umbrella?" Light brown The girl with colored hair seemed to want to refute something, but was blocked by Liu Lian'er's words again, "I told you in a text message just now, and you must have not looked at your phone."

"Then what should Uemura do?" She gestured to the girl beside her, and it wasn't until Kiyomi Takeuchi mentioned it that Yuriko Uemura trembled as if she had reacted from her own thoughts.

"It's okay, there's a convenience store just across the street, I'll just go there and buy an umbrella." Trying to restrain her voice, Yuriko Uemura lowered her head in a panic, not looking at Genichiro Sanada's expression.The girl quickly walked past the boy with her bag, pushed open the main entrance of the restaurant without a moment's pause, and ran out in the torrential rain.

Uemura Yuriko felt that she was really an idiot, Yagyu had mentioned to her thousands of times earlier than Lushi that today was the Hyotei's school festival, how could she think that Liu-kun, who was far away in Tokyo, would carry two umbrellas in his bag.While running, the girl was annoyed at her own stupidity.The bean-sized raindrops fell on the body and hit the person with some pain, but more than the pain was the wet sticky feeling and the icy coolness coming through the skin.

Running straight past the convenience store, Yuriko Uemura certainly wouldn't spend money on buying an umbrella just to hide from the rain.She now has no choice but to run home quickly, and the worst part is that her home is not close to the part-time restaurant.

The ground washed by the rain exudes a damp smell, and the ponds are either deep or shallow, and the splashes wet the girl's trousers.Both ponytails and bangs were glued into strips by the rain, Yuriko Uemura ran in the rain with big strides, regardless of her distressed appearance.

The non-slip shoes slipped on the ground from time to time, and the girl accidentally rushed forward when she passed the intersection.Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Yuriko Uemura was annoyed at her bad luck today, and the next second someone grabbed her wrist from behind.The force in the opposite direction made the girl stand still. The downpour was blocked by the umbrella. Yuriko Uemura didn't know why Genichiro Sanada ran out with her, and the other party's clothes and hair were soaked at the moment. It was clearly like her running around without an umbrella at all.

"I'll take you back." The black-haired boy who just held up the umbrella just now let go of the hand that was holding Yuriko Uemura, and said in a calm tone.
