In just a few days, I drank a whole five liters of pure milk, but I couldn't get rid of the worries in my heart. I couldn't do anything, and I wished I could curl up in my room every day.Because of his sick appearance, Touya, Natsuo and Fuyumi cared for him a lot, and finally even Andawa came.In an instant, he became the favorite of the family.

Fortunately, the summer hero activities haven't officially started yet, otherwise, in his state, he might be negligent while patrolling.However, the person involved, Hong Jiaodong, has not thought of such a long-term thing for the time being.

Anxiously tearing off the calendar, amidst the crisp sound of paper crumbling, Hong Jiaodong finally waited for the day of the prom.

Putting on a decent black suit, and clumsily following online tutorials to put on a tie step by step, Hong Jiaodong in the mirror looks quite energetic and handsome.

Hong Jiaodong only hoped that in a few hours, his dance steps would be able to match today's extraordinarily handsome appearance.

He stroked his bangs, and raised his hand to stroke the broken hair from his forehead to the back of his head.Such a hairstyle can make him look more like an adult, with a particularly mature temperament.But in the end, he lowered his hands, stroked his bangs vigorously, and gave up the shape of the big back.This kind of mature appearance beyond his age always has a rather strange feeling on him.

He pressed his chest and took a few deep breaths, but the beating of the heart was still so violent and clear.He roughly recalled all the things he should bring in his mind, confirmed everything, and made sure that nothing was left behind, and then he was a little relieved and ready to go.

The servant's mother-in-law polished his leather shoes and obviously understood what he was thinking.Taking advantage of the fact that the two elder brothers were watching variety shows in the living room, and before Dongmei came back, Hong Jiaodong hurriedly put on his shoes and went out.

If his formal attire was seen by the other three members of the family, he would probably be encouraged inexplicably by them.

This time, his timing was very accurate, and he happened to arrive at the school gate 5 minutes earlier than the agreed time.The other third-year students also entered the arena one after another, holding each other's arms, and walked past Hong Jiaodong in pairs, and Hong Jiaodong suddenly felt an unusual disharmony standing alone at the school gate. Feeling—as if he were a doorman.

But even the doormen are in pairs.Most people think that a lonely doorman is unlucky.

He took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't breathe well after buttoning the top button. He could even imagine how ugly his face was now.Anyway, it's still early, so he should take a breath first.Otherwise, unfortunately, it would be a sad event if he was suffocated to death.

So comforting himself, he undid the button that imprisoned him, and loosened the tie a little.Such a simple movement made him instantly feel refreshed, and even the air he breathed seemed to become more sober, and it seemed to be mixed with a hint of the sweet aroma of summer flowers.Hong Jiaodong's mood eased a lot.

The bell tower in the distance rang the hour, and more third-year students entered the arena, but Hong Jiaodong couldn't help but doubt himself.He was a little scared suddenly. Inviting him to be a dance partner didn't happen at all. It was because he thought too much, and Nanase wouldn't come over. It was all because of his self-indulgence.

This thought terrified him, and he almost crushed the wrist flower he was holding in his hand.He glanced at his watch hastily, it's [-]:[-] in the afternoon, it's not too late... right...

Those thoughts started to grow like mad again.Hong Jiaodong stared at the dial, every movement of the second hand involved the ups and downs of his mood.

Watching the second hand turn 720 degrees in agony, he heard the sound of a car approaching and stopped right in front of him.Hong Jiaodong was overjoyed and raised his head impatiently.Sure enough, Nanase was sitting in a car parked not far away on the side of the road.

Tianhai was also in the car, waving to him warmly through the glass.Hong Jiaodong smiled back, and Tianhai's face was filled with satisfaction instantly, just like an idiot.

When Hong Jiaodong saw Hui Yu's father talking to Nanase, he boldly guessed that it should be some clichéd phrases like "be careful" and "come back early".How much he wanted to rush into the car and tell Haiba Kazunari that as a father, he could rest assured, because he would definitely let Nanase enjoy her graduation prom, and would definitely return her home safely.

But this is only limited to imagination, he is still too embarrassed to do such a rude thing.

He waited anxiously for a few more minutes, and finally waited until Hui Yu Yicheng's sexual intercourse ended.Nanase said goodbye to her father impatiently, and hurried out of the car.

Seeing her walking step by step, Hong Jiaodong felt a little uneasy, but he was really looking forward to it.He had imagined more than once what kind of posture Nanase would appear at the prom, but now that he really saw it, he didn't know what to say.

Nanase wore a lotus root pink long skirt with thin shoulder straps, which was well cut and made her tall and thin figure even more slender.The fabric of the skirt seemed to be made of silk, quite smooth and supple. However, under the shining of the setting sun, it showed a delicate gold powder-like texture that silk products did not have, shining but not dazzling.The skirt was ankle-length, with a light drape, and the skirt swayed gently with her every step, which was extremely elegant.The silver-white long hair was braided into loose braids, decorated with light purple flowers, exuding a sense of dignity in a random way.

Holding the same lily-of-the-valley bouquet as Hong Jiaodong's, she strolled over.Hong Jiaodong stared at her steps, as if he was intoxicated by the hem of her skirt even breathing.

"You look beautiful today."

Hong Jiaodong almost blurted out.At this moment, he didn't want to hide those words of praise.

Nanase covered her lips and smiled softly: "Jiao Dong is also very handsome. It's just that some small details have not been sorted out."

Only then did Hong Jiaodong remember the unbuttoned and loose tie, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, wanting to tidy it up quickly, but Nanase took a step ahead of him, buttoned it for him, and re-fastened the tie.Finally, the corsage.

Her movements were extremely gentle, almost didn't make Hong Jiaodong feel too much touch, but touched his heartstrings invisibly - he believed that his current heartstrings could even play a piece of "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" .

He was a little confused for a moment, and he forgot what to do next. It wasn't until he saw Nanase stretching out her hand that he remembered that he hadn't put a wristband on her.He smiled apologetically and hastily made up for the mistake.

"Well, it's ready." Nanase took his hand, "Let's go!"

Hong Jiaodong took a deep breath, nodded, and walked into Xiongying together with Nanase.

The graduation ball was held in the gymnasium, which was the training ground for the first-year hero science students last summer, but all the training equipment had been cleaned up, and the decoration was quite beautiful. The roof was painted to look like a starry sky, with star The moon-shaped lanterns seem to be walking under the night sky.

Along the way, they met many acquaintances, but most of them were people Nanase knew.They all seemed curious that she had invited a first-year boy to her third-year prom.

Nanase smiled without saying a word, and gave exactly the same answer - "Because he is cute".

Hong Jiaodong suspects that the adjective Nanase uses to compliment people is probably only "cute".

They also met Brother Gujing.But they don't have a female partner. According to what they said, they are each other's dance partners, and they also said something like brothers are lovers in previous lives.

However, the version that Hong Jiaodong has heard seems to be that "the daughter was the lover of the father in her previous life".The Gujing Brothers' self-created version is somewhat inconsistent.

"They were recommended to Dongda University." Nanase whispered to Hong Jiaodong in a low voice, with some envy in her words, "It's amazing. Not surprisingly, they should be the students with the best academic performance among Xiongying's graduates this year .”

Hong Jiao nodded as if she understood, and asked her, "What about you?"

Nanase twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly: "Well...it's a good university."

More, she did not say.She didn't give Hong Jiaodong a chance to continue questioning, she changed the subject and said something else, but fortunately, Hong Jiaodong didn't take it to heart.

The first event in Prom is the Regency Dance.Hong Jiaodong didn't expect this link to come so quickly.

Teacher Midnight sat on the sidelines with his legs crossed, looking very leisurely, but it made Hong Jiaodong extremely nervous.He awkwardly stood side by side with the other boys, and quickly went through the dance steps in his mind.

First forward, then back, forward again, raising hands... circling, exchanging partners...

The sound of music was caught off guard, and Hong Jiaodong could only stop thinking about it, and bowed hurriedly.Then, it's the formal dance moves.

Go closer and then go away, this action needs to be repeated three times.Every time she gets close, Nanase can't help but laugh, and seeing Hong Jiaodong also has the desire to laugh.

They raised their hands, palms facing each other, very close, but out of reach.According to the rules of the Regency Dance, they are not allowed to touch each other at this moment, they can only show all their restraint within reach.But at such a close distance, you can still feel the temperature of the opponent's palm.

Looking into each other's eyes, turning around again and again, but always needing to maintain a distance, it is very frustrating.When the patience was worn out to the point where it was almost invisible and the self-control was about to collapse, they were finally able to embrace and dance together.The intimate dancing posture like a sympathizer, rubbing hands together, is still spinning, but it seems to have escaped into a small world where only they exist. Others have become passing shadows, it doesn't matter, only the other party is worth watching.

When the music changes and the tempo jumps, it's time to switch dance steps.Reluctantly let go of each other, and embraced the other person—hey, why isn't the new partner a girl?

Looking at the Gujing Mulin opposite, Hong Jiaodong felt extremely lost.He really didn't expect that the next dance would be with Mu Lin.

"Your displeasure is reflected in your dance steps. You dance very ugly now." Mu Lin said rather disgusted, "It seems that you still have to return you to your dance partner, otherwise your dance will become lifeless."

Before Hong Jiaodong could react, he was pushed away by Mu Lin.Fortunately, it was time to switch back to the partner, so his movements would not appear so abrupt.

Nanase returned to his line of sight, feeling relieved.

"Compared to Mushu, you are still better at dancing." Nanase whispered in his ear.

Hong Jiaodong smiled lightly, but said nothing.

At the end of the song, they returned to the original formation, bowed to each other, and the regent dance came to an end.Nanase trotted for a few steps, and once again took Hong's frozen arm, the movement was outrageously natural.

They went to the table and sat down.Although the Regency dance is not a difficult dance step, and it will not make people breathless, it still consumes energy to some extent.

The background music was changed to a more cheerful song, and more people slid onto the dance floor, dancing to the music.Nanase couldn't move anymore, so she sat in peace and applauded for them from time to time.

Seeing others dancing for a while, Nanase couldn't help yawning.

"Actually, the prom is quite boring." She said casually, "Besides, we don't know how to dance, so it doesn't feel suitable for this kind of occasion."

"Yes." Hong Jiaodong did not deny this, "Maybe the atmosphere is the most important thing."

Nanase nodded, agreeing with what he said, but she smiled slyly for a moment, and suggested in a low voice: "Hey, let's slip away. We can go eat pizza, or something. Anyway, some outstanding graduates will give speeches next. This kind of part is very boring.”

It doesn't matter to Hong Jiaodong, since Nanase wants to do this, he also nodded with a smile.

So, while everyone was concentrating on the music, Nanase sneaked out of the gymnasium with Hong Jiaodong, and ran all the way to the door, as if someone was chasing them, and didn't stop until they ran out of the school gate pace.

They looked at each other out of breath, and suddenly laughed in unison.Laughter echoed in the street with few pedestrians, I wonder if anyone could hear it.

"You said, if we are honored to be selected as the prom queen and king of the prom, and we are absent, will we become the first absent king and queen in the history of Xiongying?" Nanase wondered.This slightly absurd idea made her laugh uncontrollably.

Hong Jiaodong took off his suit jacket and put it lightly on her shoulders.Although the weather has turned warm, it is still a little cold at night, and he is afraid that Nanase will catch cold.

"They must be very anxious, and they will walk all over the stadium just to find us. But they will never find us." He spoke with a smug tone, like a little devil.

Nanase raised her head and looked at his side face, the smile on her face seemed to fade little by little.She tightened her scorched coat tightly, and his warm body temperature still remained on it.She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't make a sound. It wasn't until Hong Jiao Dong tilted her head to look at her that she regained her courage.

"There is something I didn't tell you." Her voice was very soft, almost shattered by the wind in the early summer night, "Actually... I accidentally got into the university in Yokohama."

Pausing his footsteps, he didn't realize what those words meant for the first second.

After thinking about it seriously, he seemed to understand.This means that Nanase probably won't appear in his future from now on.

Nanase looked away, clutching the coat tightly, as if afraid that it would slip off her shoulders, but continued: "So for the next four years, most of the time will be living in another city. I I have never been to Yokohama before. I think that I will live alone in a strange city for a long time, away from my family and the established circle of friends, and then open up new circles of friends... It sounds a bit difficult, but it should be It's going to be an interesting experience, I think."

She was still smiling, and her tone was quite brisk, even a bit like the chattering of an old aunt.But Hong Jiaodong didn't want to be happy for her, let alone say any words of congratulations.

He could feel his heart tightening suddenly, and an invisible big hand grabbed his neck, making him unable to breathe, and he couldn't even struggle.

"Yokohama..." He laughed dryly, "Actually...it's actually pretty close, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Nanase nodded, "But there is still a little distance. So I thought, before leaving Tokyo for Yokohama, I will do everything I want to do - such as inviting cute boys to attend graduation together Prom or something!"

Nanase lowered her head, not daring to look at Hong Jiao anymore, and only stared at the gravel under her feet.

"Then next semester, I won't be able to see you." Hong Jiaodong's voice was very soft.

Nanase bit her lower lip and nodded.

Hong Jiaodong's footsteps slowed down bit by bit, and finally stopped.He grabbed Nanase's wrist, gently pulled her to his side, stared at her face, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart and never forget it.

Under the cold light of the street lamp, Nanase's eyes seemed to be clouded with mist.The same light hit Hong's scorched shoulders, and it cast a lonely and desolate color.

Hong Jiaodong looked at her, his eyes moved slightly, and after a long time, he reluctantly uttered a sentence in a hoarse voice: "I don't want you to go. It would be great if I could stay in Tokyo."

Nanase wanted to give an answer, but any answer seemed useless at the moment.She pursed her lips, and the hazy mist in her eyes gradually cleared up and condensed into tears.She tried hard to keep her eyes open, not to let the tears fall.

She raised her hand, like that time in the library, and grabbed her scorched bangs, half of which were red and white, showing her obsessive-compulsive disorder to the extreme.It's just that this time her movements were not as gentle as last time, she used a little strength, and made Hong Jiaodong feel the real feeling of pulling, and it reminded him a lot, including the feeling of heartbeat in the library—— It took him a long time to realize what the emotion was.

"Yokohama..." he murmured.

His hand moved down little by little, from the wrist to the fingertips, and finally wrapped Nanase's cold hand tightly.

His left hand was as hot as a charcoal fire, burning to Nanase's heart.

Nanase squeezed his hand back firmly.

"Are you afraid of distance?" Nanase asked him.

Hong Jiaodong froze for a moment, shaking his head vigorously.

"No, not at all." He raised his voice, "because I really like you."

The tears that lingered in the eyes turned into a smile.Nanase ruffled his hair vigorously.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Isn't that right, Hong-san?"

"It's true, Huiba-senpai."

What an old name.

They laughed at the same time.
