[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

When Suguha came back from the setting sun, he saw a tired Kirito coming out of the room wearing the clothes he was about to leave.

The girl bit her lower lip lightly.

"elder brother……"

Kirito, who just realized that there was a person standing at the door, turned his head in a daze, and a gentle smile appeared on his face when he saw Suguha.

"Welcome back, Xiao Zhi."

Seeing the familiar smile, Suguha blushed slightly, then looked away and asked.

"Do you want to go out..."

Kirito, who wanted to deny it, suddenly remembered that he went to Agil in the morning, and stayed in the room in the afternoon, and didn't have time to see Asuna...

In fact, since Kirito came back, he habitually went to the shelter every day to visit Asuna who was still asleep.

And as the closest person ever, for early in the morning... I didn't even have the courage to ask her address.

Could it be that, like what Agil said, in fact, I have been thinking about what happened at that time...

And Suguha, who was overshadowed by the side, didn't notice the tangle on Kirito's face at this time, and just asked in a low voice.

"Go...to see her again..."

Kirito, recalled by the girl's low voice, looked at the silent girl in front of him, and the worry on his face eased.

"Well, let's go meet."

At this point, Suguha fell silent again, watching Kirito walk to the door to change his shoes.

"I may come back later at night, don't wait for me, just tell... Mom for me."

"Well, I know." Suguha suddenly paused, then raised his head, showing a bright smile, "I believe that sister Asuna will wake up as soon as possible after feeling your heart."

"Intention?" Kirito was puzzled and saw the clock on the wall, and it was almost the deadline for visiting, so he nodded hesitantly, "Well, I'm leaving."

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening and closing, the girl who was left behind had a heavy exhaustion on her face.

"Brother, I will bless you..."

It was getting dark very quickly in the deep winter. Although the sun was setting and the weather was fine when we went out, when Kirito rode his bike to a flower shop on the way to buy flowers as usual, the sky was still dark.

"Ah, here we come again."

The owner of the flower shop is a somewhat elderly man. As a flower shop person, it is somewhat weird, but every time he sees him bent over and busy in the clumps of brightly blooming flowers, Kirito will have a little bit of a smile. There is a feeling that this man should exist here.

Calm, peaceful, incomparably harmonious rhythm.

"Uncle Hirakawa." Kirito stepped forward and greeted the shopkeeper who was looking at him with a smile.

"Why, do you want to buy flowers for your little girlfriend again?" Uncle Hirakawa showed a clear expression, and then picked up a bunch of delicately tied bouquets from the side before Kirito could speak, "There is no need to explain anything , the love of young people is always a little shy~hahaha~~ let's go!"

"Eh?!" Kirito looked at the beautiful bouquet of roses in front of him, as if he finally realized something, "No... Hirakawa-san, you misunderstood... I really don't have that kind of connection with her... We just It’s just a partner who went through life and death together in the game...so..."

"Game?" Uncle Hirakawa's hand trembled slightly, "You mean...it's really rude to ask such a question, sorry, young man. However, even...a virtual world...for those who care about themselves You have to cherish it more..."

"Ah?" Kirito looked suspiciously at Uncle Hirakawa in front of him who seemed a little excited, "Ah...it's really nothing...it's just that one of my friends hasn't woken up from SAO...but she's not in the game either. die……"

"Snapped--"

Uncle Hirakawa was stunned for a while, and there was a broken vase lying on the ground.

"Uncle... what's wrong with you..."

"No... just a little surprised. After all, that incident has been a sensation for the past two years. I thought it was over, but I didn't expect that there are still people who haven't woken up..." The uncle squatted in a hurry to pick up the debris on the ground.

"Is that so..." Kirito looked at the uncle who had regained his composure with half-doubt. After thinking about it, he decided not to probe into other people's private affairs. "It's getting late...but this bouquet of flowers..."

"Just this one. Really, a stubborn little guy like you doesn't know how long it will take to chase a girl. The atmosphere in the shelter is very dull. If you visit a girl, there is nothing more suitable for her than this rose It's gone! Let's go! If you continue to babble, you may not be allowed to go!"

After being half-pushed and half-persuaded by Uncle Hirakawa, the bewildered Kirito just got on his bicycle.

"That... the money hasn't been spent yet..." Kirito subconsciously touched his pocket, but was held down by the uncle.

"Oh! Just treat it as a gift from the uncle!"

"Ah? Ah...then...thank you, uncle!"

So Kirito rode the bike towards the shelter not far away in such a daze, thinking about what happened just now while riding.

"There seems to be something unusual about the uncle today... Speaking of which, why does the uncle know so well about the SAO incident... I really can't let people pay attention... Eh! Sorry! I bumped into you!"

Kirito, who bumped into someone because he was distracted while riding a bicycle, jumped out of the car very apologetically, and wanted to get closer to see the person squatting on the ground covering his feet, but was pushed away by the other party.

"I said you, can't you look at the road when you are riding a bicycle! The light is not good at night, and the crowds are so dense during the rush hour after work, so you just rush around like this... It's really not good. Know how you grow so big!"

Kirito watched the other boy standing up with some difficulty, while moving his ankles slightly, while picking up the small cakes scattered on the ground.

"Because the street light at this intersection is broken, I didn't notice that there were people in front of me...uh...all of them fell to the ground..." Looking at the other party's strenuous effort, Kirito felt even more guilty, and he spoke unceremoniously to the other party. Also less concerned.

"Nonsense! I don't need you to tell me!"

Although his tone was very bad, the boy still wrapped the cake in a bag again.

"Then..." Kirito struggled to recognize the logo on the bag, which seemed to be from a dessert shop across the road. I heard Suguha say that there are many delicious desserts here, "I'm really sorry, but , I'll buy you another copy..."

The boy glanced at him disdainfully.

"There's no need for that, it's my own wish, what's the point of letting others buy it! By the way, you're a guy who looks like you're going on a date with a rose, and you don't even understand this kind of thing!"

Kirito looked at the flowers in his hand, a little speechless.

"Uh...I..."

Suddenly, a girl's calling came from across the road, and that somewhat familiar tone shocked Kirito.

"Sanye-kun? Where are you doing?"

The boy in front of him suddenly changed his hostile look just now, and stammered a response with a little grievance and shyness.

"Uh...something is going on here...I'll be there right away!"

Then, he threw the cake bag into Kirito's car basket.

"Hey, I'll leave these things to you! Remember to be careful when riding in the future!"

Looking at a bag of broken cakes in the basket, and seeing the boy running over in a hurry, Kirito suddenly felt a little speechless.

However, compared to this, what is more interesting is...

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head, looked at the place where the sound came out just now, and carefully identified it, but only saw a vast sea of ​​people and an endless stream of people.

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Kirito quickly got on his bicycle again and rushed across the intersection while the green light was on.

It should be, it won't be... such a coincidence...

————&—————

At this moment, Zao Qing looked helplessly at the restrained and shy boy in front of him, and said slightly reproachfully.

"Sanye-kun... getting hit while crossing the road... are you still a child?"

"Uh... because the lights are a bit dim... I'm running a little too fast... so..." the boy laughed, his heels rubbing against the ground uneasily.

"Why do you run so fast across the road? By the way, why did you run away suddenly?"

"Eh..." Sanye suddenly became speechless when he thought of the broken cake.

The corner of Zao Qing's mouth twitched, then he waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, it's good that nothing happened." Zao Qing looked up and saw the neon signboards hanging on the side of the road, "It should be here..."

"Well, the address you gave is the one in front." Sanye, who was a little disappointed and sad, quickly wiped off the expression on his face, looked at the surrounding buildings, and confirmed.

"Then, thank you, Sanye-kun." Zao Qing turned around, with a relieved expression, "It's getting late, I'm sorry for dragging you to show me the way so late, I guess Auntie is at home Hurry up, then go back quickly."

"Um... no, it doesn't matter if I don't go back..." The boy suddenly tried to defend himself.

"Are you kidding, Sanye-kun, I still remember that every time you came home a little late, your aunt hurriedly went to the street to find someone. I don't want to be rejected for the first time after two years. Auntie blamed..."

"My mother passed away a year ago!"

A bus full of tired people passed by after a day's work, the crowd is still flowing, and the bright and dark street scene exudes a kind of boredom that makes people feel a little monotonous.

"Sanye...I..." Zaoqing lowly wanted to express her guilt at this moment.

"I'm going back. It's early morning. You shouldn't run around outside at this late hour."

Without saying goodbye, just turning around, Sanye disappeared into the shadow of the unlit street without looking back.

Turning a street corner, Sanye leaned against the shadow beside him a little discouraged, and sighed heavily.

On the other side, several figures of different heights straightened up from the ground and beside the trash can, and slowly gathered together.

"Hey, Boss, is that your horse? It's really on time... Ugh!" A guy with slanting triangular eyes teased a little frivolously, but when he met Sanye's sudden glance, It came to an abrupt end.

The other young men who originally wanted to take advantage of the trend to compliment also immediately shut their mouths.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, there are other things to do tonight." Sanye took out a cigarette from the pocket of the other person beside him and lit it, then curled his lips in disgust, "Let's go, a while Brother Cheng can't wait."

"Yes! Boss!"
