[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

Natsume special chapter eleven

Hikari said, at 12:31pm on December 7st, we met at Shinjuku Station and went to Chuzhi with Zuowei.

In the early morning of the 31st, red paper lanterns were hung up in Yayuan town to celebrate the New Year.Natsume went to the platform to buy a train ticket, and brought steaming meat buns to Mr. Cat.On the way, when he met a kappa, Natsume poured all the water in the bottle on him, but the water poured on the kappa quickly turned into piercing ice chips, and Natsume apologized again and again.

There are monsters passing by in twos and threes on the road, talking about lemonade, leaving deep and shallow footprints in the snow.

"How are you guys?" Natsume greeted them, "Are you looking for that well again?"

"Oh, it's boring, the soda in the well is frozen!" Niu yelled dissatisfied.

"As soon as the new year is over, spring will come." Natsume reassured, "There will be delicious lemonade again."

"Hehe, Natsume, you seem to be in a good mood!"

"Is there?" Natsume was stunned, and then found that he was really smiling.

Niu happily said, "Originally, we were all upset when the lemonade froze, but seeing Natsume's bling-bling smile made us feel all right!"

...the bling-bling smile...

"Natsume, you've become more cheerful recently!" The monster next to him also squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Yeah, Natsume-kun looks prettier than Reiko when she smiles!"

"Natsume-sama is more delicate than a girl..."

"Hey, hey, enough is enough." The topic suddenly changed from lemon soda to his own smile, Natsume Kurosuke said, "I'm going first. I wish you all a happy new year in advance."

When I got home, Teacher Cat was gone again.The room was clean and bright, Xia Mu looked at the steaming steamed buns in his hands, and felt like an idiot.Really, why did he go out of his way to please Teacher Cat?

Natsume sat down at the desk, opened the drawer, and saw Zuoi's kaiseki, Murasaki Shikibu's ancient mirror, and the loose-leaf paper on which she recorded her dreams.He took them all out and reviewed them on his desk.

Memory content: Xiangzi and Qinglan played chess for another day.Qinglan said that Xiangzi's chess skills have improved a lot.Xiangzi was very happy, saying that Master Zuowei said the same.Nuozi talked about Queen Stingzi whom she served.If it weren't for the faction of Dingzi who was jealous of Fujiwara Koko's family, Koko would definitely be reused.The civet cat named 'The King of Life' crawled around and smashed Qing Lan's mirror.

Date Memories Seen: December 12

Characters: Xiangzi, Nuozi, Qinglan

Memory content: Xiangzi gave Qinglan a mirror.That's the side right now.The mirror was still intact at that time.Xiangzi asked her if she could tell Zuo Wei about Qinglan.Qing Lan agreed.Nuozi gave Qing Lan a volume, the title of which was "Pillow Grass".Xiangzi said: "I always record some trivial things." Nuozi smiled and said: "I record the scenery in the palace by my pillow, and I specially show it to Qinglan!"

(Natsume also specially wrote a line below: "It turns out that this is how "Pillow Grass" came about.")

Date Memories Seen: December 12

Characters: Qinglan, Nuozi

Memories: When Qinglan read "Pillow Grass", she was yearning for it.She draws on rice paper according to the content recorded in "Pillow Grass", Yae Sakura, Qingliang Temple, Palace in the Palace, Iris Letterhead, Bat Fan... Qing Lan looks out of the window, there is nothing but the wind in the sunflower forest, she sighs desolately .This scene was seen by Nuozi who opened the door and entered.

Date Memories Seen: December 12

Characters: Xiangzi, Qinglan

Memories: At dusk, Xiangzi broke into the door with an excited expression: "Qing Lan, so you and Master Zuo Wei met before!" Then he told Qing Lan about the anecdote of naming.Surprised and delighted, Qinglan wrote: "Lan has admired him for a long time, but I wonder if I can meet Master Zuowei in this life?" Xiangzi thought for a while, and said firmly, "Yes!" After that, Teacher Mao came back.Natsume didn't dare to take out Zi Shibu's mirror in front of it, for fear that Mr. Cat would interfere, and he would never see Qing Lan's memory again.

Next, will Zuo Wei appear in Qinglan's memory?Natsume was both curious and fearful.Is the next memory the beginning of shame a thousand years ago?

A drizzly morning.The maiden's deep purple jug dress brushed the leaf-strewn path.Water splashed everywhere, and there was a crackling sound when footsteps stepped through puddles.Qing Lan was wearing a black hood and awning, waiting in the forest for a long time.

"I... I didn't expect such a heavy rain!" Xiangzi said pantingly, her verdant black hair was soaked by the rain, "I called the bullock cart and waited outside the Jiyue Forest, and met Master Zuowei at East Gate."

Qing Lan lowered the curtain.Xiangzi took the red umbrella in her hand, "Master Zuowei will enter the palace for an audience in the afternoon, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late!" Hand in hand with Qinglan, they ran out of the Jiyue Forest.

Looking at Xiangzi's slender back, Qing Lan felt a gentle and misty touch in her heart.Xiangzi had scolded Nuozi for her frivolous behavior before, but now she was holding her hand, her black hair was wet and her clothes were disheveled.

The two got into the bullock cart.The rain was pouring, Xiangzi was shivering from the cold, and her deep purple outfit was completely soaked.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have asked the maid to fetch some unlined clothes for us..." Xiangzi muttered, with a sad face, "How can I see Master Zuowei?"

Qing Lan took out the silk and wiped the rainwater dripping on Xiang Zi's face.The restless Xiang Ziyou was quiet.In the swaying bullock cart, the pouring rain seems to be separated by a layer, like a long-lasting whisper.

"Thank you, Qinglan." Xiangzi was obviously not used to such concern, her face blushed shyly.Qing Lan smiled at her.Xiangzi's face turned even redder.She turned her head awkwardly, raised the corner of the autumn fan, and elegantly opened the corner of the car curtain.

Suddenly, she retracted her autumn fan, her face flushed like a frightened cat.

"Master Zuowei...he's right there." Xiangzi muttered, scrubbing the wet clothes on her body in a panic, her blue-purple eyes sparkling.

Xiangzi's appearance is really shameful.Qing Lan thought.But he couldn't help being curious, and leaned forward, imitating Xiangzi with the autumn fan to lift the corner of the curtain.The rain curtain was torrential, and the man in palace attire brought by Gao Guanbo, holding a bat fan, stood alone under the eaves of the east gate, with fluttering purple hair, Shengxue in white clothes, and blue-purple eyes as clear as autumn water.

——That was clearly the blue-purple eyes she had seen in her dream.

At this moment, Zuo Wei turned his face sideways and met Qing Lan's eyes.The girl was startled, the autumn fan trembled, and the curtain of the car fell, but pressed a corner of the green and rotten leaf-colored sleeve.

Qing Lan's heart beat like thunder.And Xiangzi was very helpless, and buried her face in her knees in a panic—she obviously didn't want to see Zuowei at this moment.

"Is it... Sugawara Hime?" Only Zuo Wei's voice was heard, like a broken jade curling pot, infinitely gentle.

"Qing Lan?"

At this moment, Qinglan heard a sudden and shattering sound, such as Youtan blooming in her heart, and the strong joy overflowed with a little panic.Tears welled up, and her throat seemed to be choked—she wanted to answer, but she couldn't make any sound.

Yes, she was born unable to speak and could see monsters, which was regarded as ominous by the palace people.

The thin car curtain is like a moat.

Xiangzi said: "Master Zuowei, it's us."

"Xiangzi, I wonder why you guys haven't arrived yet, and you're still wondering if it's going to rain heavily." Zuowei smiled softly, apparently having known Xiangzi for a long time, "You don't know how happy I am to know the whereabouts of Sugawara Hime. "

Xiangzi blushed slightly, and said to Qinglan: "Qinglan, get out of the car and meet Master Zuowei."

However, Xiangzi would be very embarrassed if she picked up the car curtain at this time... Qing Lan hesitated for a while, then shook her head.Xiangzi was puzzled.Qing Lan unbuttoned her green coat and put it on Xiang Zi's body.This time, Xiangzi understood.

Xiangzi was very grateful, but at the same time embarrassed: "If you miss it, it will be difficult to see you next time."

Qing Lan lowered her eyelashes, thought for a while, but still shook her head.She couldn't take Xiangzi's self-esteem for nothing.

Xiangzi said: "Master Zuowei, it's raining heavily, and Sugawara Hime and I are in some inconvenience. Let's meet again next time."

Zuo Wei seemed to be a little regretful: "So, we will wait for the next time."

At this time, a voice sounded from the pattering rain: "Fujiwara Qing, it's time to enter the palace for an audience."

Is Zoe leaving?Qing Lan felt a sense of emptiness and disappointment, as if she had lost her mind.She couldn't help but quietly held the fan and raised the curtains of the car.Zuo Wei didn't seem to be bringing an umbrella, but walked into the rain curtain wearing only a silver-white cloak.Qing Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the red umbrella in her hand.

Xiangzi obviously understood what she was thinking, and she yelled, "Wait a minute, Master Zuowei!" Seeing Zuowei standing still in the rain, Qinglan gave Xiangzi a grateful look, and then handed out the red oil-paper umbrella in her hand car curtain.

"Master Zuowei, please take it to keep out the rain." Xiangzi said.

I only heard Zuo Wei Yingying say outside the curtain: "Thank you, Xiangzi, Sugawara Hime."

The red umbrella in her hand was carefully taken over, and Qing Lan felt a warm touch on her fingertips.People outside the curtain were wading through the water, but her hand was still raised in the air in a daze, and she felt her heart beating loudly in her chest.For a while, neither she nor Xiangzi made a sound, leaving only the sound of rain shaking the sky.

The author has something to say:

【Guangxia Chat Record 01: About Yuli】

Natsume: Shinto-kun, are you still instructing Ogata to play chess?

Light: Yes.Mr. Ogata originally wanted to ask Zuo to guide him, but after Yuriko and Zuo played a game seriously, he gave up. She didn't eat a bite of the cake prepared by Miss Shihe.Afterwards, Zuowei innocently said to me, "I have tried my best to restrain myself, and I only won Yuriko Ryoko"... When Zuowei became stupid, it was really helpless.

Natsume: I feel that it is not easy to have the courage to play chess with Sawei.

Hikari: Yuriko said that compared to Mr. Ogata and Sakai, she still likes to play chess with me, which is more relaxed.

Natsume: But you are also very strong, and you even got the title.I've never heard that Ogata can play chess (of course I haven't paid attention to it), how can she feel relaxed playing chess with you?

Guang: Hey, this is a question of charisma.

Natsume: ...Don't talk like Mr. Kitty.

Guang: I was transformed by Teacher Cat.

Natsume: ==

Guang: Speaking of which, how did you and Yuriko meet?

Natsume: That was before I was adopted by the Fujiwara couple.I used to be classmates with her.I was chased by monsters at that time, which caused a lot of trouble for everyone.Maybe because of this, Ogata has a deep impression on me.

Guang: She is more than impressed with you.Every time after playing chess, she would ask me about you.Yuli likes you, even though she told me not to say it.

Natsume: == Didn’t I tell you not to say it...

Guang (quickly to promise): I haven't told anyone, not even Zuo Wei.

Natsume: ... (Thinking that when Hikaru is stupid, it is also very helpless)
