Judging from the sentence that Atobe's mother said before leaving, "You don't have to wait for us to eat dinner", it seems that Keigo Atobe's trip may be more or less ominous, and there will be no return, but compared to worrying about his own minister, everyone The expression on his face was more inclined to the panic of "you have today?!"

After Keigo Atobe left, the atmosphere eased, and Eri also joined the party downstairs. I heard from Hocho Taro that their previous training plan had to be temporarily put on hold due to the weather, and they returned home halfway, which was just right. I met Eri at Atobe's house.

Eri turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the window, it was indeed thunderstorm and very bad.

"Let's play a game."

Jiro, who had forgotten about Atobe in a blink of an eye, suggested heartlessly.

Eri was still thinking about the fact that Keigo Atobe was taking the blame in front of his elders again. He was absent-minded for several rounds of the game, but nothing went wrong, and he was able to gain the upper hand if he was a little more serious. Yueren looked unbelievable, but it was Feng Changtaro explained to her, "Senior has always been very good at playing games."

"Really?" Yue Ren was skeptical.

"Yes," Feng Chotaro nodded affirmatively, "Because when we were in class, seniors were playing outside all the time."

"..."

Please stop talking about Chotaro.

"I won't play anymore," she put down the game card in her hand, and simply admitted without interest, "The strength of the enemy and us is very different, and you can't win with me."

"..."

After she withdrew from the battle, she stayed where she was for a while, and walked away without silver, holding a cup and pretending to catch water. No one else noticed her small movements, but she endured the lively atmosphere and threw at her. A cool glance.

It's hard to say whether it's exploration or insight in the interlaced eyesight in just a moment, and it makes people's heart skip a beat for no reason.

He quickly turned his eyes away, as if he didn't notice that she said she was thirsty, but there was still more than half of the drink in the cup in her hand, as usual, quietly and politely restrained his curiosity.

The water in the glass was rippling, and Eri stared at it for a while with downcast eyes, and frowned slightly.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart, and she suddenly remembered that this kind of scene had happened too many times, every time Yushi Ninzu who was the first to notice something, always turned a blind eye to her abnormality, and never asked a word.

For a friend, this sensitivity is too close, and this politeness seems indifferent.

So contradictory.

This thought swirled around in her mind, and was quickly overwhelmed by other things. Eri settled down and walked in the direction where Keigo Atobe left.

"I don't want you to be polite to her, at least you shouldn't be so rude..."

Atobe's mother's voice came indistinctly.

From the time she set foot on the long corridor of Atobe's house and passed countless doors, the gentle reprimand has never stopped. Keigo Atobe didn't refute a word, and his character might not be able to listen to her.

"However, when you got along with each other before, you were a little bit attentive, and you didn't send people away with casual gifts. Don't be so perfunctory during the festival..."

"—Even if I did do something wrong,"

The unilateral silence made Eri think that Keigo Atobe might not be listening to this overly wordy lesson at all. Just as she was reaching out to open the door, she suddenly heard the boy's rebuttal. Mother's chatter.

He sneered.

"I only did these wrong things for one person."

The door of the study was ajar, and Eri froze in place when she pushed the door.

Others see Keigo Atobu as arrogant and incomprehensible, but those who know him better will know that for this young man with stronger self-esteem than ordinary people, those gifts and attitudes that make people feel wrong are the first things in his life. The first and only unintelligent attempt and overture.

He is proud, arrogant, and blessed, and he has never been lost in the crowd. He is always high above the crowd, and enjoys the pursuit of everyone as a matter of course. Such an outstanding status makes it easy for people to forget that he is actually not a character that is good at getting along with people. .

He has paid the price for his inability.

The vigorous and resolute Atobe mother probably did not expect this scene, and she did not speak for a long time.

"If there is nothing else to explain, I will go first."

Atobe couldn't bear the surprised silence, opened the door, and met the other party in the conversation at the door.

"..."

He lowered his eyes, looking forward to what Kitagawa Eri would say for a moment, but when the latter tried to speak, he suppressed the ridiculous expectation.He passed her shoulder to shoulder.

"...Trace Department."

After walking a long way, someone chased after him. He stopped, and turned his head to see the girl's expression that hesitated to speak.

"I probably forgot to tell you before, thank you..."

"Enough." He unreasonably interrupted her unfinished words, and replied coldly under her surprised eyes.

"——If you don't intend to say that you like me too, you and I will never talk again in the future."

The figure of the young man gradually drifted away in the seemingly endless corridor of Atobe's house. Light and shadow fell on the young man repeatedly. He was alone, stubborn and arrogant, and did not look back again.

Because of the heavy rain, Eri stayed at Atobe's house at the strong request of Atobe's mother. In the room next door to Atobe Keigo, the teenagers from the tennis club had already had a falling out.Atobe Keigo usually has a stern style, but in private he is very conniving to those close to him - she has discovered this a long time ago.

Eri closed the windows of two adjacent rooms, and the muffled bustle completely disappeared in her ears. Looking at the continuous rain outside the window, she suddenly felt a little lonely.

I can't say whether I like it or hate it, but every time it rains, something seems to be blocked in my heart, like some kind of hope that is doomed to fail, which makes me sad but can't be expressed in any way.

Erik drew the curtains to block the disturbing rain from sight.

That night, Eri had a dream. In the dream, it was also such a rainy season. Looking through the rain curtain, there was a feeling of walking in a thick fog. The front was filled with wet, swaying, and inexplicable fog.

She was happily chasing a figure in the long, endless corridor.

She wanted to tell him that she saw cherry blossoms blooming on the way here, that the dessert she had tried for a long time finally became delicious, and that she got a trial screening ticket for the movie he liked from Kise... There were many things she wanted to tell him, and then Then infer from his attitude which one he likes the most.

She called out the man's name softly.

The boy stopped, and he waited softly for Eri to walk in front of him. Before she could say what she was full of expectation, he smiled and replied, "Okay."

"..." Eri was stunned for a moment, "But I haven't said anything yet."

His tone couldn't be more gentle, making people feel the urge to cry, he said, "I promise you anything."

In an instant, all the words were stuck in his throat, and he gradually woke up under his gaze full of expectations, and then suddenly dispersed, leaving nothing left in his heart.

She wants to say that I don't want you to promise, I want you to be happy.

But she couldn't say it.Because she has never been more determined than that moment, even if she repeats this a thousand times, the other party will not believe it.

He always agrees to her any request unconditionally, not because he loves her, and he is slowly consuming his love or Eri's patience, thinking that one day someone will not be able to support this hanging in the air. Feelings, withdraw and leave, at that time, everything is over.

She was entrusted with a hopeless love by the young man—before everything happened, he had rationally arranged a retreat where no one would be hurt.

"Eri," the boy's fingertips fell gently on his face, sliding down the tears, "what's wrong with you?"

"No...no..." She rubbed her reddened eye sockets with a smile, "Probably the contact lens fell off."

——Why is it so close to you, but it seems to be farther away?

——Why should I feel how happy I am when I get what I want, but tears are pouring out in disobedience?

……

Breaking free from the dreams that suppressed countless confusions and sorrows, Eri turned over and sat up. There was nothing in the darkness. She raised her hands and covered her eyes weakly and tiredly.

Everything in the dream passed away silently in the darkness, but the remaining emotions were so clear that her fingertips touched the corners of her eyes, which were soon stained with moisture.She took a deep breath, and the pain suppressed in her limbs and bones didn't get better. Instead, as she woke up, the pain became more realistic.

When I came back to my senses, I found that the rain outside the window had stopped, and the morning after the rain was silent, with an unknown fragrance of flowers floating in the air.Eri put on her coat and planned to go downstairs to warm a cup of milk to sleep.

When she reached the first floor, she realized that she was not the only one who was awake so late.

In the brightly lit living room, Yue Ren and Ci Lang each occupied one side of the sofa, holding game controllers in their hands, sleeping in a mess, but their bodies were properly covered with quilts.

Not far away, Yushi Ninja stood by the window, looking out over his shoulder, there was an endless and dark forest outside the Atobe house.Hearing the noise, he turned around and asked with a little guilt, "Did we bother you?"

Eri shook her head.

When she got closer, she realized that her face was abnormally pale, and her black hair was soaked in cold sweat, messily sticking to her face.Ninja Yushi frowned, raised his hand to touch her forehead, "Are you sick?"

Eri shook her head against his palm, this action made Ninzu Yushi immediately notice something was wrong, and politely withdrew her hand.

"No... I was dreaming."

"Dream what?"

Shinobu Yuji walked towards the kitchen with ease, even though she hadn't spoken yet, she had already poured milk into the cup and put it in the microwave.

"I don't know." Eri said softly, leaning against the kitchen door.

"Is it a strange nightmare?"

"No..." Eri's gaze met the boy who just turned around in the air, and the moonlight peeking out from the clouds obliquely passed through the gap between the two of them. This moment was stretched for a long time.

Eri heard her dry voice.

"I don't remember," she said, "Yushi... I don't remember anything."

The fragility she seldom showed at that moment seemed to coincide with the girl in the rain curtain that day, appearing in front of my eyes like a repeat of time, Yushi Shinozu remained silent, and it took a long time before he was able to make a sound.

"It's ok."

The anticipation in her eyes was like a lonely candle in the dark night, flickering in the dim light, getting dimmer with his silence.

It is very clear in my heart that at this moment, Beichuan Eri is full of loopholes for some reason, and she is almost defenseless against him intellectually, as before, as long as she gets a little closer, she can take advantage of it.

but--

"It's just a dream..." He comforted gently, and in his unmistakable words, he showed the sense of alienation that both of them knew well, "It's no big deal if you forget."

Eri didn't seem to expect him to change the subject so lightly, and stared at him for a long time before making sure that he would not express any other opinions about his honesty, the shimmering light flickering in the black pupils gradually extinguished, and finally froze Into a gloom that cannot be melted away like thick ink.

Ding--

The sound of the microwave timing is like some kind of signal, neatly dispelling the obscure atmosphere in the air.Renzu took out the warm milk and handed it to the girl, said "go to bed early" and passed her by.

"Yushi."

He stopped because of the call behind him, didn't turn around, but just turned his head slightly to look over.

Something in his heart was eager to try, testing his boundaries knowingly.

"There is something... I hope you can help me."

He paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, time was unbearably stretched in his silence, Eri's already faltering confidence almost fell to the bottom, when she couldn't help but want to bring up this topic , I heard him answer softly "Yes".

The vague dream rushed back to my mind like a rising tide, and among the chaotic and unstructured fragments, Eri caught the most crucial sentence.

She looked dazed, "...you haven't asked what it is."

The author has something to say:

I found out that you are very unfriendly to Atobe.
