[net king] light as fleeting

Fujiwara Ri curled herself up in the corner of the sofa, staring at the night scene outside the window in a daze.

Xiaoli, can you go with mom?

While Fujiwara was waiting for Atobe to pick her up from the hospital, Suzuki Yukihime begged Fujiwara's opinion again,

Okay, thinking of Suzuki Yukihime's pale face, Fujiwara Ri couldn't bear to refuse but didn't respond directly.This is what she fantasized since she was a child, that her mother could talk to her gently again, and leave the suburban villa that would make Suzuki Yukihime feel sad.

But... Fujiwara Ri looked at the white mobile phone and a silver necklace placed by her side, as well as trinkets and several gift boxes, large and small.

She didn't want to leave, she promised to stay by Atobe's side, and also promised to write a letter to Yuzawa Natsuko with Azusa Sakurai.

The knock on the door brought Fujiwara back to his senses, and slowly moved his body and climbed off the sofa to open the door.

Sakurai Azusa stood outside the door, holding her hand in mid-air, maintaining the posture of knocking on the door.His expression was a bit sleepy, and his tone of voice was not quite right: "Xiao Li."

"Why did you come back to find me?" She stretched out her hand to hold Sakurai Azusa, but was avoided by the other party.The arm paused in mid-air for a while before Fujiwara Ri retracted and said clearly: "You know?"

Azusa Sakurai looked at Ri Fujiwara silently, and after a long time he murmured: "Brother Yu said, he heard your grandma scolded your mother for taking you away."

Now that she was known, Fujiwara Ri admitted honestly: "Yes, what my brother said is true."

Sakurai Azusa missed Fujiwara Ri and landed on the sofa behind her.In the corner of the sofa was the gift box given to Fujiwara Ri by the tennis club's Masayoshi on Halloween.Turning back to see the necklace that Fujiwara Ri had been wearing close to her body, she didn't know when it was taken off: "Are you going?"

"I don't know." Fujiwara Ri stepped back a few steps, turned around and curled up in the corner of the sofa again.Resting his chin on his arm, he continued to look out of the window in a daze: "I don't know, what to do."

Never seen Fujiwara Ri show such a confused expression before, Azusa Sakurai stepped into the room.He hurriedly walked to the sofa and sat down, staring in a daze with Fujiwara Ri.

"Will you be angry if I leave?"

"Yes, but what will make me even more angry is that you intend to hide from me and leave secretly." Sakurai Azusa followed Fujiwara Ri's example, curled up her body, and put her chin on her arm: "If I hadn't discovered it first , you will do that, right?"

"Well, I think so."

"You really dare to admit it." Sakurai Azusa said, suddenly pounced on him, angrily raised his right index finger and poked Fujiwara Ri's head vigorously: "You know I will be angry, but you still dare to plan to do this?"

After poking a few times, Azusa Sakurai suddenly withdrew her hand silently.Sitting back on the sofa again, the room fell into a silent atmosphere.

Fujiwara Yu passed by Fujiwara Ri's room, and stopped when he saw the open door.Walking into the room, he saw the two sleeping curled up on the sofa.

Seeing that even though her sister was asleep, she was still holding a beautiful silver necklace tightly in her hand.Shaking his head helplessly and smiling, Fujiwara Yu carried the two of them to the bed one by one, and then covered them with the quilt.

Fujiwara Yu spread aside the long hair that covered Fujiwara Ri's cheeks, and said in a low voice, "Actually, Auntie wants to take you away for your own good. She doesn't want you to be her second."

Pressing the switch to turn off the light in the room, Fujiwara Yu gently closed the door.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door completely disappeared, Fujiwara Ri slowly opened his eyes, looked at the same dark night sky outside the window, and continued to be in a daze.

……

As Christmas approached, a decorated Christmas tree was placed at the entrance of every shop on the street. Several children got together and played around at the entrance of a shop.From time to time, I still gather around the Christmas tree outside the store, comparing which Christmas tree is more beautifully decorated.

The trees along the street were also hung with strings of colored light bulbs, and in some places huge neon subtitles were erected.

The holiday began when the women's tennis competition in the Tokyo area was in the knockout round.

For the past few days, Fujiwara Ri stayed by Suzuki Yukihime's side, occasionally talking with her, or the two of them went for a walk on the grass downstairs of the inpatient building.

"Xiao Li, don't be in a daze." Sakurai Azusa tugged at Fujiwara Ri who was obviously distracted. She dragged him out of the hospital with great difficulty, and she didn't come out to be in a daze.

Looking at the unfamiliar streets around, Fujiwara Ri remembered to ask: "Where are we going?"

When Sakurai Azusa heard Fujiwara Ri's words, he laughed twice: "You will know when you arrive."

Curiosity is aroused.Fujiwara Ri obediently was dragged away by Azusa Sakurai, and there were significantly more vehicles and pedestrians passing through the streets today than usual.Along the way, every passerby I met had a happy smile on his face.

"Hey, I'll let you go today."

Sakurai Azusa's voice successfully called Fujiwara Ri's attention, and then, her hand was pulled up and placed on the palm of Atobe standing in front of her, which was raised in the air.

Sakurai Azusa looked at the two people who were staring at each other in silence, snorted twice in dissatisfaction, turned and left: "I won't bother you, goodbye."

Atobe held the cold little hand in his palm, turned around and pulled Fujiwara Ri to the stairs not far behind him.

"Where is this place?" Fujiwara Ri looked at the long steps under her feet, and couldn't help counting the number of steps.

"shrine."

"A place where you can make a wish, put money into the box, and ring the bell?"

"The order is reversed." Atobe pulled Fujiwara Ri who was looking around to prevent her from accidentally slipping.

"Upside down?"

"Ah."

Fujiwara looked at the last few steps of the stairs, after walking.Looking up, I saw a not-too-long queue at the place of worship at the shrine: "Can we also go and make a wish?"

"Well, let's go and line up." Atobe pulled Fujiwara Ri to stand at the end of the line, watching Fujiwara circle around him to observe the shrine's buildings, and sometimes look at the line in front of him: " Don't leave my side."

"Yeah." Fujiwara nodded heavily.

When it was their turn, Atobe handed Fujiwara Ri a coin and taught him how to throw it.

Fujiwara Ri wisely asked Atobe first when making a wish: "Don't you need to say it?"

"No need." Atobe helped Fujiwara Ri pull the rope of the bell, and there was a 'ding'.Fujiwara Ri quickly closed her eyes, folded her palms and meditated on her wish.

Atobe looked fondly at Fujiwara Ri's earnest and silent wish, and after a while, Fujiwara Ri opened his eyes and looked at him, smiling at him: "I made a promise."

"Well. Let's go." Atobe stretched out his left hand, and Fujiwara Ri put his hand on Atobe's palm knowingly.

Fujiwara Li reluctantly looked at the gradually increasing number of passers-by: "Aren't you here to play?"

"Go somewhere else, go buy some food first."

"food?"

The two walked hand in hand to a convenience store closest to the shrine. After Atobe picked out some convenient food and two bottles of drinks, he went to the counter to pay the bill.

"Looking for your change."

After Atobe settled the bill, he realized that Fujiwara Ri, who had been by his side, was nowhere to be seen.

The clerk pointed to a shelf in the store, and Atobu looked in the direction she pointed. Someone was squatting in front of the shelf, holding the shelf with both hands, looking curiously at the various fireworks displayed on the shelf.

Atobe approached Fujiwara Ri, glanced at the fireworks on the shelf, and asked deliberately: "Want?"

"Ah."

"You can only pick one."

"Then where are we going to put it?"

"If you know there is no place to put it, then don't."

Fujiwara shook his head and refused: "No."

……

Fujiwara Ri leaned on the car window and watched the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, her purple eyes blinked curiously.Until being pulled away by Atobe and embraced into his arms, he was still reluctant to maintain the posture of looking at the scenery, even unwilling to turn his head.

"It's okay to sit up straight and look at it, so don't you feel cold when you lie on your stomach?" Atobe frowned delicately, and put Fujiwara Ri's cold palms into the pockets of his clothes to keep warm.

Fujiwara Ri leaned on Atobe's body, and lay softly on his chest: "I have never seen such a scenery before."

"It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not, let me sleep for a while." Atobe raised his hand to cover Fujiwara Ri's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Wake up and watch."

After hesitating for a while, Fujiwara Ri nodded in agreement.

After this sleep, I fell asleep directly to the destination.Fujiwara Ri looked at Atobu, who was not counting what he said, with a face of complaint, and walked slowly on purpose, making a fuss.

"Don't want to ask where I'm taking you?"

Fujiwara Ri was extremely curious, but refused to admit it: "Don't ask."

Since Fujiwara Ri doesn't ask, Atobe is also happy not to coax her with Fazi.That's what he had in mind from the start.

The two walked to the foot of a mountain, and the phone rang.One hand held Fujiwara tightly to prevent her from being lost.Atobe took out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"I know."

"My uncle told me that I know."

Atobe glanced at Ri Fujiwara, who was so curious that he sneaked closer and planned to eavesdrop.He hung up the phone calmly and put the phone back in his pocket.Then take out the flashlight purchased at the convenience store from the bag, press it on: "Let's go."

When Atobe answered the phone, he saw the caller ID as Shinobu.Didn't hear the conversation between them, Fujiwara Ri's tone was still a little disappointed: "Okay."

It is not a good choice to run out to climb the mountain by train in the middle of the night.Especially in the middle of the night, the temperature on the mountain was frighteningly low. Fujiwara Ri was fine at first, and still had the energy to look around in the dark.

The closer to the top of the mountain, Fujiwara Ri simply hugged Atobe's waist, buried his face in his chest, and kept trembling.
