[Comprehensive] I could have HE!

After sending back a thank you message to Tezuka, Eri thought about it, and went to harass Yukimura Seichi again—he looked like he would like to be idle for 25 hours a day anyway.

When the call was received, the nurse was patrolling the ward, and when she heard the ringing, she gave the young man a warning look, "Yukimura-kun, you need to go to bed early, you know?"

"Don't worry." The boy gave her a comforting smile.

"Why are you calling at this time?" After the nurse left, he immediately picked up the phone, with a hint of eagerness lurking in his tone, "Does Eri feel bored recently?"

"..." The girl knew what he was planning as soon as she heard the tone, she was speechless for a moment, "I won't be fooled again, Yukimura-kun."

"Oh……"

"Don't pretend to be disappointed! I believe you are the one to blame!!"

Yukimura raised his eyebrows, deeply aware that the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, he sighed and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Hmm..." On the contrary, the girl who called first became hesitant.

Yukimura Seiichi was not in a hurry at all, and reminded her with a smile, "You know I'm a patient, right?"

"Eh??? I forgot!" The girl suddenly realized the voice from the receiver.

"..."

Yukimura Seiichi's smile froze for a moment, and then said, "Very good, now you remember."

"I'm sorry, Yukimura..." the girl exhorted guiltily, "Then, I'll hang up first, you should go to bed early."

"Wait," Yukimura Seichi told her calmly in a scientific tone, "I don't know about other patients, but I have a symptom of this disease, if my curiosity is not satisfied, terrible things will happen. "

"How can there be such a disease!!!" The girl retorted immediately.

However, this threat still effectively deterred her, and Eri hesitated for a moment before compromising, "...Well, today is my birthday."

"It's good, one year older." Yukimura decided not to care about her today, and said, "Happy birthday."

"...But, I just logged into all the social software," Eri complained in a very depressed manner, "——No one cares about me! Speaking of which, you are the second person to say happy birthday to me. It looks like my life is lost."

Yukimura Seichi: "..."

The boy paused for a moment, even with his usual direct way of speaking, he felt that this was an inappropriate topic, and asked instead, "Then who is the first one...Let me guess, is it Tezuka?"

"Eh?? How do you know?" The girl's voice was very surprised.

"It's really him," Yukimura Seiichi chuckled inexplicably, "...Tezuka-kun doesn't look like such a person."

"Right?!" Eri immediately followed his words as if she had found a bosom friend, "I also think it's super amazing! I thought his schedule was unshakable and accurate to the second!"

"Well," Yukimura pondered for a moment, "I don't think he's the type to send text messages and say such things."

"what?"

"It's nothing, just talking casually."

Because of the other party's patient, Eri didn't chat with him for long, and after making an appointment to visit him on the weekend, they said good night to each other and hung up the phone.She lay back on the bed again, looked sideways at the bright moonlight outside the window, stared at it for a while, and slowly frowned——Xingmura's seemingly casual sentence "Tezuka-kun doesn't look like this person", unexpectedly The words appeared in her mind, and she always felt that there was a deep meaning in this sentence that she couldn't understand, as if it was a vague reminder of something.

In the blink of an eye, an absurd idea broke into my mind.

She suddenly picked up her mobile phone and jumped out of bed quickly.

When rushing out of the living room, Matsuno Kazunari who was still staying up late playing games looked at her in surprise, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Get out! — By the way," Eri asked before opening the door as if she suddenly remembered something, "Do you know what day it is?"

"?" Because of the seriousness in the girl's tone, the younger brother thought for a while before choosing an answer that sounded more pleasant to the ears, "Fujian Yibo's republishing date?"

"goodbye!"

She closed the door very firmly.

"But—" Matsuno Kazunari continued to speak, but his sister had disappeared, and the boy added the second half of the sentence in a daze, "You are wearing pajamas..."

There was a long gentle slope from Beichuan's house to the street, lined with green trees on both sides. Eri ran down the street light, stopped at the street corner, and held her chest to calm her breath.

【"Sure enough, no one remembers my birthday..."】

The street in front of her was obviously empty, but somehow, she still walked forward, as if she had experienced this road thousands of times, firmly believing that there was someone waiting on the other side of the road.

【"But—who cares about them, as long as Guoguang can accompany me."】

Finally, in a park one block away from the door of his house, he saw the boy's figure standing under the street lamp, the orange halo shrouded the boy's side face, and for a moment, the clear and stern expression was outlined. Come softly.

Obviously without any relevant clues, she almost just ran out of the house on instinct, and then——found his location exactly.

Because the image of him standing there is so familiar, removed from the memory, but left an imprint deep in the soul.

【"Because Guoguang is very important to me, so you have to remember to say happy birthday to me in the future. Even if we break up, you can't forget it. ——Hey, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, you don't need to talk about it if you break up...Huh?"

"I say it every year."]

The young man standing at the end of the light source showed a slightly strange expression, which seemed obscure under the ambiguous light.

He watched the girl walking towards him step by step, stopped in front of him, raised her head slightly, and her eyes were full of unbelievable surprise—she was the one who made the rule.

Due to her reaction, it seems absurd that she still kept her promise even now.

But his answer back then was so firm, he never thought that one day they would really be separated, and the reason why a promise is called a promise is that when the past is beyond recognition, he still has the firmness that will never change—at least, that’s how he understands it of.

Eri was a little distracted, she didn't ask the question "Why are you here?", because she also knew that the boy is not that kind of presumptuous character, and the reason why he would do this is probably based on the past, his own Things that have been forgotten - I hope this is not a request I made, after all Tezuka seems to be the type who works on time.

...But apart from her own request, she couldn't find any other reasonable explanation.

"Tezuka," she didn't continue to speculate, but asked directly, "Is it because you promised me that you are here today?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that she had unconsciously called his last name.

Tezuka just nodded coldly, not seeming to care.

But, I actually care about it...

Otherwise, why...it feels a bit cold on a summer night without wind...?

Eri gathered up her thin coat, and changed her words sensibly. She raised her head, showing a half-testing, half-embarrassed expression, "... Kunimitsu?"

"En." This time, the boy finally rewarded him with a syllable that seemed to be in a good mood.

Eri: "..." It's awesome, I want to admire myself.

"I will agree to things like girls," Eri tilted her head, stared at him for a while, and laughed as if she had discovered something novel, "So you also have impulsive moments."

The young man just kept silent, and when the person on the opposite side noticed the abnormality and suppressed his smile, he slowly denied, "It's not impulsive."

The self who made the promise at that time had seriously planned every future that would accompany her.

Eri obviously didn't understand what he meant. Although she didn't quite understand, the boy's overly serious expression made her inexplicably lose the courage to continue asking, and subconsciously changed the subject, "But——Kunimitsu can't do this."

Hearing this familiar conversation, the young man lowered his eyes and realized that at some point, he had uncontrollably clenched his fists.

【"However, Tezuka-kun is wrong to do this. We have already broken up, haven't we? ——Suddenly appearing here will only increase my burden."

"..."

"Is it okay to bother me?"

Such an obvious, eager refusal.

Even in the face of the girl's indifferent accusation, the boy still looked calm, "You don't have to come here."

In fact, he never thought that he would be found out. The reason why he appeared at her door was not because he was unwilling or to persuade her to stay, but because he felt that words like "Happy Birthday" were too perfunctory to express in text messages—even if she might not care.

They confronted each other at a not-too-distance distance, and finally the girl was defeated. She sighed helplessly, walked around the boy, and walked to the swing next to her.

"Tezuka." Her voice came from behind, light and tired, falling into the wind with the sound of the swing, "Maybe it's hypocritical and too much to say, but... I'm sorry."

Tezuka didn't look back, relying on his understanding of her, the boy vaguely sensed what she was going to say - he must not want to hear it.He subconsciously avoided her expression when she said this.

"...I, I probably already fell in love with someone else."]

He wanted to say something casually - as long as he could interrupt her, but before that, he saw the girl's expression - she raised her head, her eyes seemed to be filled with tiny lights, flickering movingly.

Because of this hesitation a little later, she finally said it.

"If I didn't come over just now, wouldn't it be a waste of my mind?" She tried to correct his actions with a look of disapproval, "...This shouldn't be your business alone, I who accept this kind of intention, You should have the right to know."

The string in my mind that had been tensed all the time suddenly relaxed.

He raised his eyes slightly.

"I can't let you stand here alone for so long," she was still complaining, but no matter how she looked at it, she looked a little more real and cute, "Just think of that picture..."

Having said that, the girl's voice paused.

She suddenly remembered, if it wasn't for Yukimura's reminder, how likely it was that she would ignore his message as a common blessing, and when she thought of the picture of the boy standing alone in the empty night, it was like being strangled by something , I can't breathe no matter what.

Such a scene... She has clearly never seen it before, but just by imagining it in her mind, her heart can't help but feel sour.

"Terry?"

"...Ah, nothing."

She tried to calm down those weird moods, and when she was about to speak, the headlights from far and near illuminated the figures of the two people, and then, a black commercial vehicle stopped in front of them, the windows slid down, Showing a serious, middle-aged man's face.

"........." After a long silence, Eri lowered her voice guiltily, and greeted, "Dad, you're back."

The author has something to say:

Tezuka-kun, your Masamune aura is a bit full.

A very suitable question for today, have you finished your homework, my friends?
