I bought a can of cold drink from a vending machine that I would never touch before. I pulled the tab and took a sip with a frown. It was unbearable as expected.

Keigo Atobe held the cold tin can and looked down from the window.

The sky had already dimmed, and even the Disciplinary Committee meeting next door had just finished a long meeting. When they passed by the president's office, they were all surprised at how hard their president was working.

The vice-chairman was a few steps behind the crowd, and he glanced at the drink in the hand of the director calmly, "President."

"what's up?"

"Back when taking elective courses, classmate Beichuan came to see you." She pushed her glasses, "...just, I think I should tell you."

Keigo Atobe responded, feeling something strange flashed through his mind, he subconsciously took a second sip of the unbearable drink, and then the thought that came to him was completely dismissed by "what the hell is this?" covered by.

At this moment, the door was roughly pushed open again, and the name that couldn't get out of my mind appeared in reality.Beichuan Eri supported the door frame with one hand, her hair fell messily on her cheeks, she seemed to have just undergone a physical training, her heart was heaving, her whole body was exhausted, but her eyes were shining brightly, staring at him.

...Ah, I remembered.

Keigo Atobe met her gaze.

According to others, she appeared by the lake to look for him, but until the end, she didn't say a word to him—so, what did she want to say to herself?

"Hi, Keigo Atobe."

She spoke.

"Maybe I will definitely kill the current self after I regain my memory." She straightened up, and the ups and downs in her heart gradually calmed down. Even though she tried her best to be firmer, the hand holding the door frame was trembling slightly.

"But... I can't tell you this lie, and I can't do nothing after knowing your mind."

In fact, it is not completely unaware of the specialness of Atobe to her. The confusing questioning and questioning just made her more convinced of the feelings that once existed, but those things that have become the past, how to bring them up seems to be Neither is appropriate.

Eri feels that amnesia is not necessarily a bad thing, at least her former self would never say such things to Keigo Atobe in her life.

"After you left, I carefully reflected on my personality, and felt that I was not the kind of character who would act for someone," Eri said. , "And I don't like roses at all, and I don't care if the birthday is hot or not. As for the rumored boyfriend you mentioned, I guarantee that there is no such thing with Kise Ryota's personality."

"..."

Their eyes met silently in mid-air, her eyes were bright and calm, while his ice-blue eyes seemed to be pressing down on a tsunami, and it was still calm at the moment.

"This is just your guess." Keigo Atobe said calmly.

Eri let go of the hand holding the door frame, and she walked in his direction.

Every step is like a stray destiny getting back on track.

"I didn't guess." She spread out her palm, and the familiar ring lay on it, she said softly, "I found it myself."

In the blink of an eye, many irrelevant things suddenly appeared in Keigo Atobe's mind.

Thinking of her cold that lasted for a month after the dispute, thinking of her cleanliness obsession with disinfecting pens, thinking of the artificial lake that no one cares about, thinking of the torrential rain that penetrated the skin and penetrated into the bones in late autumn.

A series of seemingly unrelated fragments are connected in series to piece together clues leading to the truth.

The drink can in his hand made a noise, looking down, the cheap soda can had been deformed in his hand, and the cold drink slid down the mouth of the can into his hand.For a moment, I had the illusion that my whole body was submerged in icy water, and I could hardly breathe.

She bit her lip, Atobe Keigo realized what she was about to say, her pupils shrank suddenly, but she didn't seem to notice it.

Don't say it.

"I might……"

She said, paused, shook her head and gave up the ambiguous statement.

Do not say.

"I must have liked you."

The girl raised her head, and she tried to show a smile after this sentence, but ended in failure.

The humming of cicadas suddenly disappeared outside the window, and the whole world became quiet for this moment.

What she said was 'liked' - Keigo Atobe seemed to be split into two people suddenly, one of them froze in place holding a cheap beverage can, while the other looked down on all this with a high attitude, calm and analyzed ironically.

I have always wanted to get the heart, I once held it in my hand without knowing it, and even lost it, I realized later that I had to confess to the point.

A late confession that has already lost its meaning.

He really wanted to ask if the lake water made you cold that day, but he knew better than anyone else that it was impossible for Beichuan Eri at that time to give him the answer to this question.

The young man looked back through the mist covered by thoughts, and found that memories and cognition were not the same. He reached out and took the ring from her palm. When he held it in his hand, he knew clearly that the missed thoughts can be found again, but That girl never came back.

So what's the point of this scene besides making people laugh?

"...Why did you say it?" The boy's voice was a little hoarse, and no emotion could be heard.

Eri looked at him quietly, her appearance was more helpless than when she was frivolous before.

Assuming she kept this secret, he even thought that it would be better to accommodate her who is extremely ignorant, maybe she could become ordinary friends, and everything would be peaceful, instead of spreading out the bloody wound like now, telling him cruelly and clearly that there was There is a heart that was abandoned by the two of them like a shoe.

"I know." The girl's eyes began to turn red, and she repeated, "I know...but, I'm sorry."

She could guess all the possibilities he had imagined, but with a character like Beichuan Eri, she would rather be broken than whole.When he jumped into the icy lake, he did not bow to Atobe, and now he is also unwilling to compromise with him.

For so many years, she never seemed to let him do what he wanted.

Atobe Keigo opened his eyes, and slowly met her gaze. The icy blue eyes were like ice cones congealed and lava hidden, full of contradictory indifference and fiery heat.

His voice was soft and emotionless, "Could it be—are you expecting me to say it's okay?"

……

With the ring returned to its original owner, the relationship between Eri and Atobe Keigo officially dropped to freezing point.

"What are you thinking?" At lunch time, due to the strange atmosphere recently, Yue Ren chose to move the lunch place to the rooftop.

The weather is fine, and the leisurely spring breeze is occasionally mixed with cherry-colored petals.

Eri twirled the piece that fell on her body, "I was thinking about the compatibility of love and friendship."

"what?"

"Will you become friends with the person you like?" Eri put it in a simpler way.

"What kind of strange question is this?" Yue Ren bit the small cake, "Since the person I like is already a friend!"

"...Well, what if she doesn't like you."

Yue Ren seemed to have been hit by an arrow in the knee, and stared at Eri with indescribable eyes for a long time before saying, "...then you really have no vision."

"Didn't you let yourself substitute yourself!" Eri patted his head.

"I don't know." Yue Ren looked sideways at the girl he admired, "Although this kind of thing can't be forced, I hope that you will like me as soon as possible in every holiday wish. If it is really impossible..."

The hustle and bustle during the lunch break seemed to be blocked by something, and the air was extraordinarily quiet for a moment.

Even though her heart almost stopped beating, the girl still met his gaze, "Is it really not possible?"

The young man with the brilliant hair color like the sun, the young man with the corners of his eyes and brows suddenly lost his spirit. When the delicate eyebrows are quiet, they will faintly show a sense of oppression that is completely different from usual.

He stared at Eri, wondering if she was asking this question out of pure curiosity, or another kind of straightforward cruelty.

But this overly complicated idea just flashed through his mind, the boy raised his head, and the bright afternoon light fell on him, he showed a childish smile, and announced softly, "Then I won't believe in Santa Claus anymore .”

Originally, Eri thought that he would immediately perform a spot blow, but when he saw him like this, he was stunned for a moment before he realized, "...Yue Ren is really amazing."

"Of course." The boy agreed arrogantly.

The sound of chasing and fighting downstairs gradually became very indistinct from near to far.

Suddenly remembered the first time we met, that confused boy, and later his confusion turned into unreasonable anger, and it took a long time before he understood the origin of the nameless anger in his heart, which evolved into restlessness and possessiveness .

I don't know when it started, the child-like Yueren she had been watching for a long time hadn't grabbed her hand with an uneasy attitude, and hadn't pestered her to ask if she wanted to go to that house with him for a long time. A cake shop that I miss.

Because of Yue Ren's carefree appearance, it is easy for others to misunderstand that he doesn't understand anything, but Eri has never been clearer than now. Yue Ren may know more than she expected, but he chose to use the simplest way to talk to himself. get along.

——If you don't like me until the end, it's okay, it's Santa's fault.

There was some kind of indescribable softness in the girl's eyes, as if soaked in water, Yue Ren just glanced at it for a moment, then hastily looked away.

Whenever she showed her trust in Yue Ren, he would always involuntarily think of the back of Eri standing alone in the corridor in the spring of that year, and his prejudiced mood - the reason why Eri thinks he is very good is because Probably because of the loss of previous memories, otherwise she could easily recall that there were many moments of indifference to her predicament in her classmate, Higakuto.

After realizing this, I even felt that I was a little too much.

When she was most isolated and helpless, it was clear that other people were by her side. From the point of view of friends, whether it was Yushi Ninzuzu or Hocho Taro, they were more qualified than him, but now she took advantage of it, Majesticly occupying her who lost her memory.

This is so despicable.

——When he looked into her eyes, he couldn't help thinking of this.

"I'm going to buy a drink, do you want it?"

Before the girl could answer, the boy had already jumped down the steps and quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Yue Ren, who was rushing down the stairs, soon met his partner who had been seeing him for a long time. He stopped, "Where did you go?"

Ninja Yuuji raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Where can I go besides the cafeteria at this time?"

"That's not the problem." Yue Ren curled his lips, and didn't expose his partner's obvious clumsy rhetoric. During this period of time, his avoidance of Eri, even if he was indifferent, Yue Ren found traces.

"...Forget it," Yue Ren gave up arguing with him—he would definitely lose anyway, "You came just in time, Eri has something to ask you."

The author has something to say:

Yueren can't!You are young!You have to always believe in Santa Claus! QAQ!
