[Comprehensive] I could have HE!

When Eri and Haruhi entered the door, everyone, including those boring young ladies who were addicted to love games, looked over for a moment. hand.

"What? Can we finally hide things?!"

Everyone: "..."

The twins of Hitachi threw a pillow at her, "What drama are you adding?!"

The girls with justice in their hearts also condemned, "Let go of Haruhi, you already have Tezuka Kunimitsu! That's it!! Tezuka Kunimitsu!!!"

Eri: "I know that's Tezuka Kunimitsu, what are you guys getting excited about my boyfriend without authorization?"

She was delayed by everyone's attention, and the atmosphere eased a little until Xu Wanghuan spoke. Feng Jingye looked at the business that had been getting worse and worse recently, and shook her head helplessly, "Eri, come here."

"What are you doing?"

"I just had your call, and I answered it for you."

"Huh?" Eri picked up the phone from the table and asked casually, "Who is calling?"

"Atobe Keigo."

"Who?????"

Eri almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, but after looking through the address book, what Feng Jingye said was actually the truth.

"What?" Xu Wanghuan took the time to pay attention to the news here, "Kego Atobe? Is he still in Japan?"

The girl next to him thought for a while, as if she remembered some leftovers about this matter, she casually gossiped, "I heard from the elders that his family asked him to return to England."

"Successor education?"

"So early?"

"After all, their family has a big business."

Wherever there are girls, there is news. In a few words, Eri was popularized by science. The complex situation in Jingwu's family is complicated. Because the amount of information is too large, she was still a little dizzy after straightening out the joints. She turned her head and looked at The Yinglan people who are doing nothing next to them—Xu Wanghuan is not an heir after all, Senior Honey is at least crushed in terms of force value, Takashi Takashi is also very reliable, Feng Jingye can be alone everywhere—she His eyes fell on the unprogressive Hitachi-in twins, and he sighed deeply and desperately.

"Aren't you two really going to be kicked out of your family one day?"

The twins were not ashamed, but instead said with foresight that they had considered this kind of thing a long time ago, "Wouldn't there be a day when you will still be there? You will give the elder brothers a pension, you are super rich."

"?" Eri said ruthlessly, "Dream."

After making jokes for a while, her weird mood calmed down a little, she walked out of the music room alone, and returned the disturbing phone call.

"What are you doing in Yinglan all day?" Keigo Atobe seemed to be outside, and he could hear some lively voices over the phone.

"Ah..." Eri's greeting was still stuck in her throat, and she responded to his question for a while before answering, "I'm considering whether to transfer schools..."

"Oh?" Even if she couldn't see the boy's expression, Eri could immediately imagine the slightly raised eyebrows when he uttered this syllable, and Keigo Atobe asked her, "Do you think Hokyoya is kinder than Ninzu Yuuji?" ?”

Eri: "..."

Someone next to him lazily complained, "Be fair, why am I not kind?"

She guessed that Keigo Atobe must have rolled his eyes at Shinobu at this time.There was a moment of silence on the phone, it sounded like he was walking from the outside to the inside, the lively voice was suddenly separated by a long distance, Keigo Atobe closed the door, and remembered the real purpose of the call.

"Are you free tonight?"

Because the question on the other side was really unexpected, Eri answered very cautiously, "It depends on what it is."

He saw through the girl's worry, and chuckled lightly, "I invite you to dinner."

"Then I'm free now."

"En." Keigo Atobe said, "I'll pick you up."

"……………………"

This conversation, which sounds normal, happened between her and Keigo Atobe, but it seemed unimaginable. When Eri was about to complain about his wrong style of painting today, the other party seemed to have predicted her reaction. Before that, he quickly cut off the conversation. communication.

Eri: ...

Listening to the mechanical sound of disconnection, she belatedly remembered that it was different from her ignorant, fearless and almost forced approach in the past, this was actually the first time Keigo Atobe invited her.

The restaurant chosen by Keigo Atobe was far away from Tokyo, and Eri was idly staring at the passing scenery outside the car window, suddenly curious, "Why do we have to go there?"

The boy replied calmly, "It's your favorite restaurant."

"Really?" Eri said, "I don't remember."

She stared at the silhouette of the teenager reflected on the car window, with a slightly sour smile on her lips, she thought that the reason why she told Atobe that she liked that restaurant back then must not be the most real one—— It is so far away that it adds a lot of time to get along for nothing.

I don't know when Keigo Atobe will discover this unconscious carefulness at the beginning, or maybe, he will never be able to discover it.

It wasn't until the lights came on that Eri finally sat in the restaurant that was said to be her favorite. The hungry girl didn't even have time to look at the menu carefully, so she casually ordered an ordinary-looking steak.

Keigo Atobe raised his head and gave her an unpredictable look when she was ordering.

"What are you doing?"

She was disturbed by the boy's abnormal behavior today, and her reaction was a little sensitive.

"No." Keigo Atobe shook his head. He closed the menu and said a few dishes that he had memorized by heart. The more Eri listened to the drink, the more something went wrong. She tilted her head and asked, "Are you I don’t like fish, why would I order it?”

"How do you know I don't like it?"

"...Suddenly I got a little impression."

"Eri Kitagawa," Keigo Atobe shook his head, his expression seemed to be stained with a secretive smile, but when she wanted to catch it, it had already disappeared, and the fleeting smile made people feel a sense of loneliness , "You don't know what you're talking about."

Hearing him call her name, Eri felt that she had stepped into some minefield again, and fell silent.

After the casually ordered steak arrived, Eri choked on the smell of red wine after taking a sip. She put down the tableware in her hand and was about to order another one. Keigo Atobe seemed to have expected it, and took the plate in front of her away, signaling The waiter put his order on the girl's side.

"..."

Watching his movements, Eri suddenly understood what Keigo Atobe meant just now - she clearly forgot what she liked to eat, but she still remembered what he didn't like to eat.

She cut the steak silently, thinking that if it was the past, Keigo Atobe must have been angry, but today he just calmly accepted another evidence of missing each other.

Eri couldn't help saying, "You're in a good mood today."

"My mood has been very stable. You didn't notice it because you kept making me angry."

"...Don't talk nonsense while I can't remember, I won't admit it."

Atobe just raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but didn't even refute her.

After dinner he took her home, because she had spent too much time on the road, she felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep without knowing it.When the car stopped at the door of the house, Eri was still a little confused, she seemed to see Keigo Atobe looking at her quietly in her sleepy eyes, and she smiled at him.

Atobe Keigo was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly and rarely softly.

When the girl woke up completely, she turned her head to look for Atobe's expression, only to find that he didn't look at her at all, and the smile in the half-dream and half-awake seemed never to have happened between them.The boy still looked arrogant.

Eri said goodbye to him at the intersection in front of her house, and suddenly remembered the news she heard in Yinglan during the day, "Will you go to England?"

"Why do you ask."

Eri thought for a while, and said with good reason, "If I don't see you in school, I will be very uncomfortable. After all, you are the symbol of our school."

Hearing this reason, he curled his lips and said, "Well, I'll stay with Bingdi."

"Will you invite me to dinner in the future?"

"Ah."

"Don't you hate me anymore?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

With her hands behind her back, the girl turned around and walked a few brisk steps, suddenly remembering the dream she had on the way back.

In the dream, she was only seven or eight years old, chasing a black car for a long, long way in the countryside, persistently asking the boy who rolled down the window, will you come again.

I can't remember the answer in my dream.

That unknown sadness penetrated the time without warning and arrived at the summer night many years later.

She turned her head suddenly, this time, Keigo Atobe was still standing where he was, his gaze met her through the night, and he was inevitably stunned.

"You lied to me again. Did you?"

"..." He laughed dumbfounded, "Do you have to ask?"

"Because, Keigo Atobe is not such a person at all, not someone who can pick up a broken mirror and put it in the palm of his hand." Eri felt her eyes were a little sore, she opened them hard, not letting him see her weakness On the other side, she raised her head and replied, "Yes, I have to ask."

"..."

"You really have to go to England, don't you?"

Atobe Keigo restrained the smile on his face, and he began to answer her question seriously, "I have the responsibility to go."

"You won't talk to me anymore. Even if you meet again, you'll pretend you don't know me. You won't ask me if I'm doing well, and you won't talk about how I was."

Atobe Keigo was silent for a while this time. She didn't know what this short silence meant, but when he spoke, he shattered all the expectations he shouldn't have. He said, "I won't see you. There is no chance."

"You didn't forgive me."

"...I'm sorry, Kitagawa Eri, I can't pretend that nothing happened and I don't like you." The emotion in his eyes flashed away like a fleeting image, perhaps it was the first time in his life that he confessed to someone With the boy who apologized, he solemnly said to her, "You don't have to forgive me either."

——Even if you want to smile and wish each other happiness, in fact we can't even be called "friends".

Atobe Keigo did not return to the car, but turned around and walked slowly down the long slope in front of Beichuan's house. The figure of the boy gradually left his sight and overlapped with the dream.

The answer at that time seemed to come to mind suddenly again, but it was no longer important.

Eri reached out her hand to touch the position of her heart, and there was a sudden vacancy somewhere, as if a chronic illness that had not healed for many years suddenly disappeared and would never come back again.Every time she touches this place for the rest of her life, she will stare at this incomplete opening, remembering that there was a very, very important person in her life who will always be absent in her future sorrows and joys.

She felt that someone might shed tears because of this, but when she touched her face, her fingertips were dry—the little girl who would cry because of this had also been gone for a long time.

She remembered the dream one last time.

Many scenes in the dream have been blurred. I only remember that someone was covered in mud and scarred. I don’t know where to roll in the mud. After that, it is rare to have such a embarrassing moment in my life.He took out a rose from behind and asked happily, "Do you like it?" Later, she met many people and received many gifts, and no one was so sincere, so natural, and so embarrassed.

That was the beginning of a long misunderstanding.

The girl looked down at the rose in his palm.

Her hands were covered with fine scars, her vision gradually blurred through the dream, she thought, I thought I fell in love with that flower.
