Yinhua and Dream

, it seems that after removing the emotional factors, the relationship between the two may be really good to be friends.

Koizumi put down his chopsticks, his expression suddenly became serious, "It's very important."

Sawano, who came out of the restaurant, went to the bookstore at the suggestion of Koizumi. After all, he was studying a major. Now Sawano has begun to take the initiative to understand this aspect. Originally, going to the bookstore was also today's plan, so he did not refuse.

"Which manga artist are you Sawano as an assistant?" Koizumi asked Sawano who was also watching as he looked at the boy Jump.

"Ms. Fukuda Shinta, it hasn't been serialized yet, and I'm drawing short stories." I didn't take the initiative to know about Sawano and thought that all the short stories drawn by Fukuda would be serialized, but later on I read manga magazines from time to time and knew that not every short story will have the opportunity Published, it can only be officially printed in the magazine after being reviewed by the editorial department, and Fukuda's hard-working stories and drawn characters are placed in the corner of the sundries.

And once she sees Futian's short stories in magazines, she will always feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, even though she only sketches a few strokes as an assistant, but... those characters are like children who have been affirmed, which makes her feel happy.

"Mr. Fukuda, I have read his short works. The boyish and violent style of painting, the plot is very good in short stories, but... compared with the new wife teacher, it is inferior." Koizumi took a lot This comic magazine is a must-buy at first glance.

"Well, I know. However," Sawano also took the existing manga magazine, "One day, Fukuda will succeed."

Such a sentence, seemingly unintentional and simple, but with a firm tone, Koizumi looked at the face of the petite woman beside him, and said with a smile: "Ah, I think so too."

Sawano looked up and smiled.

"Senior Koizumi, goodbye."

Koizumi suddenly bowed towards the woman, "Zano, please take care of that."

Sawano was not surprised, the corners of his lips that were still smiling were pulled down a little, but his soft expression remained unchanged, and he nodded, "Well, I will try hard."

……

Koizumi looked at the figure that was gradually going away, and remembered the smile of the light blonde woman before, if... it would be great if it bloomed for him.I thought to myself.

Koizumi turned around and looked at the building marked with the word "hospital" which was still far away, shook his head to shake off the feeling of frustration, and accelerated his pace to get there.

When he walked to the gate of the apartment, it was snowing, and Sawano reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, which gradually melted under the warmth of his palms.

……

"Sawano, please make a cake that tastes like your father's,...please."

Cha [-]. The Taste of the Past and the Present

Never wanted to forget the past,

But if you can remember,

That would be a pain.

——I used to think so.

"Sawano, please make a cake that tastes like your father's,...please."

At that moment, Koizumi Yizu's expression was not as gentle as usual, and his eyes were full of confusion and pain.

"I..." Sawano wanted to say that I refused, but the last two words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't get out. In the final analysis, it may be Koizumi's expression that moved her. It was a kind of determination that seemed to be about to lose faith .

Sawano Sharo took a deep breath, and she looked straight into Koizumi's eyes, "Reason. Senior Koizumi, give me a reason."

Koizumi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the air around them was quiet for a while, and then there were ripples in the smooth and soft male voice with the taste of memories, "I believe Sawano knows that I am an orphan."

Sawano nodded. This is not a secret at Shinno University. After all, a famous person like Koizumi Yizu always has a great exposure rate in various aspects.Although I am also.

"Well, when I was ten years old, I was adopted by a woman, just like they are shown on TV nowadays. The lady was very gentle and treated me very well. At first, I hated her because I always felt like an orphan. When the good friends at the hospital knew that I was going to be adopted... suddenly became very cold, and laughed at me, saying that I was so useless that someone still wanted me--such words. At that time, I didn't understand, I thought Everything is that person's fault, so since I lived with her, I have always ignored her, and every time she said that she hoped that I would call her mother, I would always run away in disdain, but even so... She is right My attitude has never changed, I always smile and touch my head gently—of course, when I'm not paying attention, I always see the little desserts on the table after school. … After three years like this, the relationship between me and her is getting worse and worse. Sometimes I would rather mess around outside than go back to that home. In fact, I already knew that the last period of isolation in the orphanage was not her. It caused it... But, maybe it was my rebellious period, until I didn't go home for three consecutive days because I really had no money, so I went back there in the early morning... I saw her sitting on the sofa and crying."

Sawano never thought that the representative of the good student in front of him would have such a boyhood, but it was more real than the seemingly perfect male student.

Looking at the sunny weather outside the window, Koizumi pursed his lips and continued: "I think it was that day that my relationship with her began to change. At that moment, I was a little bit at a loss, because when I was with her, that person always Smiling, like... the warm spring sun, it makes people warm. She saw me and started to wipe tears, and then smiled and said: 'Welcome back.'... I didn't know how to respond and just stood there Then, she saw her holding the cold cake on the table, 'Be hungry, eat it.' Then went upstairs alone.

At that moment, I felt... the wall of indifference that I had firmly established all along collapsed, because of the remaining tears on the smiling face, because of the gentleness like a real mother who doesn't need anything in return.But I didn't go to her, just went back to my room.The next day, when I had breakfast, I still saw her smile, but that would only make me feel awkward... Then I suddenly had an urge to get to know this woman. During the more than a year of getting along, I never knew what she liked or hated, just that she worked in an artisanal food store.

Then I pretended to go to school that day, but in fact I just hid at the turning and waited for her to go out. I followed her to a shop called Liusha Dessert House. I hid outside the shop door and saw the man smiling and A man in the shop greeted him with a simple and sweet smile instead of the usual kindness.Even if I'm only 13 I know..."

Sawano stirred the tea he had just ordered, and said calmly: "My father." She thought she knew who that woman was, she was the pastry chef in her father's shop all the time—Koizumi Yumi, a woman with a gentle temperament and a beautiful appearance.

Koizumi smiled wryly and nodded, "Well, it's your father. I wasn't sure at first, but after a few days of observation, I was sure that the man fell in love with a married man—Izumi Sawano But it is obvious that Mr. Sawano has no feelings for her at all, maybe he just loves his apprentice."

"Looking at her working so hard to make desserts, I thought of the taste of the cakes I've been eating all this time... that sweet, tender taste... I felt that I was terrible at being cold to her all the time, and then I So I started to try every means to make our relationship more harmonious, but every time the expression was not smooth... One day I was doing my homework in the room, and the man came in with a cake, and I couldn't help but say what I always wanted to say, "Mom, thank you for your hard work." At that time, I felt really embarrassed and embarrassed. She touched my head lightly, "This is what a mother should do. I am very happy to do this for Yi Si." You can trouble me a lot in the future.' I looked up and saw the tear stains on that beautiful face."

"The life after that was very happy, just like a child in an ordinary single-parent family. She and I felt very happy. Until...your mother died and your father fell into a slump, she was also very troubled and felt that she couldn't do anything. Very incompetent, I always thought your father was disgusting, you should understand that feeling... Mother always thought of Mr. Sawano in those days, until your father said that he would close the shop and return to your hometown, and then mother suddenly I had a high fever and asked for leave. I stayed with my mother and waited for her to fall asleep. I really couldn’t bear it and wanted to ask questions. When I went to the store and saw that haggard figure making desserts, I didn’t know what to say... Your father knows that I am a mother After the child, he brought me the dessert he made for me, and then chatted with me.

I couldn't bear to tell her what my mother wanted... Then he said, he always knew.But, he said, his heart has been given to one person, and it is impossible to give it to another woman, even if he dies. ...I was so speechless by these words, I ate the dessert unhappily...I will never forget the taste to this day, it has a bitter taste but not a taste of despair, and there is still hope, which makes people feel like they want to live The feeling of going down... bittersweet.He said that even if his wife is gone, he still has a daughter, who is very cute, as long as he sees her smiling face, he will have the drive to live a good life.

After I bid him farewell... I hid at the door of the store waiting for him to get off work, and then followed behind him, but I was quickly discovered and invited in by him, and then I saw you welcoming him with a smile on your face.At that time, Sawano was very cute. I chatted with you while your father was cooking dinner. You were obviously very sad when you talked about your mother, but when you saw your father in the kitchen, you sniffed and said
