winter cloud

The night gradually enveloped the entire Edo, Sorane closed the book in his hand, stood up, picked up the tea set at hand, and prepared to put it back in the kitchen.

When she came back, she passed by Qianhe's room, and found that the light was still on inside, so Kongyin paused in her footsteps, and opened the door with a frown.

"Sister, it's late, go to rest."

Qianhe was crouching in front of the table, holding in his hand the long letter of peace from his father from Kyoto.

"Really, father's writing is really long." Kongyin walked over, bent down to pick up a corner of the letter that fell on the floor and put it back on the table, "It's really as promised before, the letter is too fast to read. It's over."

"Well, it seems that father is doing well in Kyoto." Qianzuru put the letter away after reading it, and turned her head to smile at Sora.

"Well, but this way I feel at ease. Since it's because of work, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's just wait for father to come back." As soon as the words fell, Qianhe stood up and pushed Kong Yin away. Go out, "Okay, it's getting late, Kongyin, go to bed quickly, I'm going to rest too."

The door was pulled shut behind her, and in the next second, the originally bright room also became dark.

Kong Yin sighed inexplicably outside the door, then turned and walked towards the room.

Almost every day, I receive a letter of safety from my father in Kyoto. Each time, I write a very long letter. Sometimes I even send another letter before they finish reading it. Although it is a bit strange, but also because of this, Qianzuru He and Sora were both very relieved, and stayed in Edo to wait for his return as agreed before.

But this situation lasted only a few months, three weeks ago until now, in contrast to the situation in those months, they have not received any letter from their father.

Qianhe was very worried, and she even felt a little uneasy recently, sometimes the seasoning for breakfast would be accidentally misplaced.

The "I'm too busy to write" excuse works at first, but they soon discover that it's just self-deception.

A week later, Chizuru decided to go to Kyoto to find his father.

"Is that good? Didn't father tell us to wait in Edo?" Sora Yin closed the book and took a sip from his teacup. "If father doesn't see us when he comes back, won't he be very worried?"

Kong Yin really admired himself.She refused to admit that she had had horrible thoughts about being without her father, but the truth was that Chizuru's presence alone was enough to satisfy her.

"But..." Qianzuru tightly grasped the corner of the kimono, realizing that maybe her sister didn't want to travel all the way to Beijing with her, "Then it's better for Sorane to stay here, and Soraine itself is not suitable for running around... ..."

"Eh?" Unexpectedly, Qianzuru would say such a proposal, Soraon put down his teacup and did not speak.

Is my sister thinking that I am burdensome?Even though she knew that Qianzuru's words were purely out of worry, Sora still couldn't help but think in a bad way, she was worried that the only person she could rely on would leave her.

This has presumably always been her fault, she likes to listen to the malevolent side first - but paradoxically, she is well aware that the other person has no more than good intentions.

After thinking for a while, Kongyin said muffledly: "Then, does my sister know the way to Kyoto? And, even if I get to Kyoto, does my sister know any clues about my father? Is my sister planning to search aimlessly?"

"Uh, this..." Qianhe was stunned for a moment in front of Kongyin's rare long string of words, but then he raised his head and looked at her firmly, "Even so, I have to go to Kyoto, What if something really happens to father! As for what you said... you can still find some clues if you ask around."

"If Kongyin really doesn't want to go, you can stay at home."

"I want to go with my sister." Kong Yin picked up the book on the side again, and continued to read the previous page, "Even if my sister doesn't let me go, I will go together."

"Eh? But..."

"It doesn't matter, if there is one more person, the possibility of finding it will be greater." Kongyin rolled the corners of his eyes, and turned a page of the book indifferently.

"It really doesn't matter, Kongyin? Sure enough, it's too much... I'm going from here to Kyoto." Qianzuru frowned, with a serious face, but found that the girl's thoughts were not here at all, "Hey, Listen to me carefully!" Then she snatched the book from Kong Yin's hand.

"Ah." When he realized that the book had suddenly disappeared, Kongyin had no choice but to raise his head, expressing that he was listening very carefully, "Sister, you are worrying too much, everything will be fine, I'm not that fragile..."

Kong Yin placed his hand on his heart, and he could feel the beating inside: "Hey, my heart is still beating, at least I haven't lived well all these years."

"How can such a thing be said accurately..." Seeing that Qianhe was about to refute again, Kongyin suddenly stepped forward and snatched the book back into his hand, flipped through it again, trying to find the place he saw before: "Sister, don't curse!" Me, really."

"And what if my sister is molested by a strange uncle in Kyoto?"

Hearing this, Qianhe's face immediately turned red: "No, don't make such a joke!"

"I'm serious, how can my sister see that I'm joking?"

"Well...forget it, let's go together."

After hearing this sentence, Sora finally raised his head, looking at Qianzuru who showed a helpless expression, he felt very satisfied for some reason: "Well, let's go together."

The sky is still as blue as ever, but I hope the clear sky in Kyoto is as pure as Edo.
