[Net King] Winter Snow

Chapter 47

When Genichiro Sanada came out of the kitchen, he happened to see Yuriko Uemura making a phone call.The girl with twin ponytails had messy hair from a nap, and her obviously pale face was somewhat haggard.

"Hello, is this the manager of Tianye?" Yuriko Uemura said hoarsely.

"Shangcun," it seemed that the girl who asked for leave and left early would call, and the end of Tian Ye's voice was full of doubts, "What's wrong?"

"... Manager, thank you for your care for more than two years." Uemura Yuriko was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "I... I will come to settle the final salary tomorrow."

It has been more than two years since Kankan worked in this restaurant.Yuriko Uemura still remembers that it was this woman with a gentle smile who helped her when she was most difficult.

It is a lie to say that there is no affection for this restaurant. In the past two years, the waiters of the restaurant have changed batch after batch. Those familiar faces have long been replaced by new ones. Now only the waiters in the restaurant remain. She is alone.

And now, she is finally leaving.

"That's it." Tian Ye seems to have thought of this ending a long time ago, and whispered softly, and then continued, "I should say thank you, Uemura, you have helped me during the two years you have been here. I'm quite busy."

"I'm sorry, manager." Lowering her head, Yuriko Uemura was a bit like a child at a loss at the moment, not knowing what to say, so she could only apologize continuously.

"Everyone has something to do, Uemura." The voice of the shop manager Tian Ye was as gentle as ever, and the woman who was over [-] years old sometimes made Yuriko Uemura feel as gentle as a mother, "When Takeuchi resigned at that time , I thought that one day, you will leave too. Your future is still very long. I heard many students from Lihai University say in the store that you are a student whose teachers have given them high expectations, so now you need What you do is to focus on the future you want, and work hard to fight for yourself, instead of apologizing for such trivial things."

"But..." Seemingly wanting to refute something, Yuriko Uemura spoke a little excitedly, and then immediately fell silent, "I originally wanted to keep doing this." She originally planned to stay here until she graduated from university and found a job. Part-time work.

"Thank you, Uemura." The store manager Tianye smiled gently, "But you have more important things to do, and I won't blame you."

"The store manager..." Yuriko Uemura bit her lower lip, suddenly feeling like crying.

"The goal of Tokyo University, I wish you success." The woman who took care of her for more than two years said the last sentence and hung up the phone.

Holding the beeping mobile phone, the girl did not take the phone away from her ear for a long time.Her future is blessed by so many people, she thinks she should work harder to achieve her wish, so as not to disappoint those who gave her good wishes.

I don't know how long it took before Yuriko Uemura realized that there was still a person standing beside her.Genichiro Sanada held the water glass, as if he had been standing there for a long time.Just as the girl was about to say something, Sanada Genichiro preempted her.

"The water is cold, I'll pour another glass." The boy said so and left the room.

By the time Genichiro Sanada came back from the kitchen again, it was already past nine o'clock.After receiving the fever-reducing medicine from the boy, Yuriko Uemura swallowed it together with warm water.The moonlight outside was bright and clear, and even the clouds next to it also took on some gray colors.A cool breeze blew in from the window, lifting the curtains and dancing the corners of the small room.

For a moment, Uemura Yuriko felt that it would be nice if the time between the two of them stopped here.

******

Summer went to autumn, and the cicadas who were singing on the tree the day before had disappeared. By the time people realized it, the maple leaves had already started to turn red.The so-called crisp autumn is not yet the right season, and the days in early September still carry the sultry heat of late summer.The ginkgo trees on the side of the school road began to slowly shed their fan-shaped golden leaves, and the golden warmth that sprinkled the entire school road made people feel autumn.

"It's a little earlier than I thought. It's about resignation." Sitting in the classroom, Hiroshi Yagyu looked at Yuriko Uemura sorting out her notes, and glanced at Genichiro Sanada's place without a trace, " I thought you were going to hang on until the end of term two."

"I thought so too." Without looking up at the boy, Yuriko Uemura put the end of the ballpoint pen against her chin, as if she was thinking about the contents of the notes, "But a little accident happened."

"If fainting from exhaustion is just a small accident to you, I should be glad that this small accident made you realize that you are not made of iron." Pushing his glasses, although Yagyu was not as good as Lu Shi, Yuriko Uemura quit her part-time job knowing what Genichiro Sanada said, but this is undoubtedly the best choice for this girl.

"What, so you know." As soon as the girl's voice fell, she smiled wryly as if remembering something, "Yes, after all, she fainted in front of Jiping. It's not surprising that you would know, Bilushi."

"Although Ji Ping won't let me say it, I think you should at least know about it." Yagyu Bilushi paused until Yuriko Uemura looked at him before he could speak, "He is here to see You just came back."

"..." The girl's right hand that was holding the pen trembled, and her voice seemed to be trying to suppress something, "I remember that Ji Ping didn't seem to like this kind of fast food. It really isn't a coincidence."

"He..." Hiroshi Yagyu seemed to want to say something, but Yuriko Uemura's next words blocked his throat and he couldn't say anything.

The girl with twin ponytails unrolled a far-fetched smile, and the warm sunlight fell on her side face. The honey-colored smile was a little sour for some reason, "If I knew it earlier, I would have held on longer. Letting him see me fainting makes me feel like I've been hurting him all this time."

The atmosphere between the two of them became silent for a while, and Yagyu Hiroshi coughed a few times, as if he wanted to change the slightly sad topic, "Speaking of which, I remember that the school's recommendation policy seems to be down. gone?"

"Is it from Tokyo University?" After a moment of stunned, Yuriko Uemura reacted for a few seconds before she understood the meaning of the other party's words, "Well, come down, if there are no accidents, it will be me and Sanada-kun."

"Congratulations." The boy's voice carried some gentle smiles, such an encouraging smile that Uemura Yuriko rarely saw in Yagyu Hiroshi.

"Before congratulations, there are still many things to do." The girl's eyes darkened, and the corners of her mouth became helpless. "The school said before that it would help me fight for a tuition reduction policy, but it seems that the submitted The application was rejected."

"Rejected?!" As if he didn't expect such a thing to happen, Liu Sheng was a little louder than Lu Shi, and then he calmed down as if thinking of something, "Is it because my father is a former Uemura councilor?"

"I don't know." Shrugging her shoulders pretending to be relaxed, Uemura Yuriko didn't intend to make Yagyu Hiroshi worry about her, "There will be a way anyway, the school said they will try a few more times, and I myself When applying for personal grants, Billy doesn't have to worry too much."

"It'll be fine if it goes well." Knowing that Uemura Yuriko intended to put things lightly, Yagyu Hiroshi didn't expose the other party.

"It will go well." It will definitely go well, Yuriko Uemura prayed in her heart.

The days of resigning from her part-time job are not much easier than in the past. Now that the tennis club national competition is over, Yuriko Uemura has no other responsibilities other than the chairperson, but despite this, the pressure of schoolwork still makes the girl exhausted.

Dongda University is the university that everyone dreams of. Of course, Yuriko Uemura knows that to meet the requirements of this university, she needs to spend twice or even several times as much as before.

The contact with many people has become sparse, and the girl who only focuses on her studies even puts aside the feelings between herself and Genichiro Sanada.Every time she sees the black-haired boy obliquely in front of her in class, Yuriko Uemura feels warm in her heart.She knew that that person was working hard like her, so she couldn't let her go.

As if it was an unspoken agreement, Genichiro Sanada felt relieved after knowing that Yuriko Uemura had also been recommended by Tokyo University.Occasionally, when Yagyu Hiroshi passed by the library, he would see the two sitting on chairs facing each other, with a pile of exercises and materials in hand.

In autumn, when winter has not yet come, everything is like the ginkgo outside the window, with a beautiful golden color.
