honey color

Eight went out for a walk.My father was fiddled with his camera in the room. After retiring, he took a part-time job in the magazine he took up, and sometimes mentored young photographers.Seeing him studying the camera so intently, I left a note and went out alone.

The summer wind is mixed with the scent of evening grass.I am sitting in a wheelchair, Ah Ba is a circle older than half a year ago, his golden fur glistens in the sun, and he follows me with a deep "whining" sound.I operated the wheelchair by myself and walked on the quiet street.

Under the orange-purple sunset, on both sides are cherry blossom trees that have lost their youth and have already sprouted green leaves.I deliberately stepped aside and walked under the shade of the trees.Looking up at the sunset in the distance, I can't help but compare it with the sunset in Tokyo, but in fact there is almost no difference between them.

But after a while, Ah Ba walked away alone.It seems that something happened, it stood still somewhere in the distance, and called several times to me who was getting closer.

"Ah, so it's a cat!" When I got closer, I found a fat cat lying on the ground, yawning, wagging its tail and sleeping curled up, and the shade of the trees floated over it.After hearing the dog bark, the cat stood up "whoosh", shrugged its fur unkindly, and looked at Ah Ba fiercely, which made Ah Ba take several steps back in surprise.

I looked at the pair of cats and dogs in disbelief, and when I was about to pull up Ah Ba's collar and go around, a slightly smiling voice came from not far away:

"Oh, Godzilla, you are actually here!"

"Brother...Godzilla?" When I heard this unusual name, I was startled for a moment, and looked at the fat cat in front of me uncertainly.

Soon, the person who spoke slowly approached, reflecting the golden sunset in the sky, he was a tall and handsome figure.The boy has silver hair, dark brown pupils, and a three-point smile on his shady face.The white shirt was dyed a faint orange red under the setting sun, and at this moment, he was looking leisurely at the tabby cat on the ground who seemed to have lost a lot of momentum.

I always feel a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere...

I was searching for relevant information in my mind, but the boy in front of me spoke one step ahead of me:

"Hello, is our Godzilla blocking your way? I'm so sorry!"

"Ha...it's okay." Sure enough, the name Godzilla...

"Aren't you from Osaka?" Recognizing my accent, he asked curiously.

"Well, I moved to Osaka from Tokyo half a year ago."

The boy reached out and picked up the much more docile cat on the ground, while I pulled Ah Ba's collar to signal it to come back to me.

"Tokyo, I went there when I participated in the competition last year." The boy curled his mouth as he spoke, "We actually live very close. I have noticed you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to say hello to you."

"..." I suddenly felt that this sentence was a bit weird, although I didn't know where it was weird.

Seeing that I looked suspicious and didn't respond, the young man smiled and waved his hands, speaking in that interesting Kansai accent:

"Don't get me wrong, I mean every time I see someone next to you, it's always a little inappropriate to suddenly run up to say hello."

I nodded, as if I understood what he meant.In fact, I didn't mean to embarrass him.

"Then let me introduce myself. My name is Shiraishi Kuranosuke, and I live there." The boy stretched out his left hand and pointed to a small three-story building behind him.And I noticed that his hands were tied with thick bandages. "He is the eldest son of the Shiraishi family. He has an older sister who married to Yokohama and a younger sister who is two years younger than me."

When the name was mentioned, I finally found the figure of this boy in my mind.

Kuranosuke Shiraishi, the only one who defeated Fuji in last year's national competition.

So soon, the mood became complicated.

The only one who beat that boy, the only boy who was so unwilling to let him sit on the rest chair with a towel on his head, had some strange feelings in his heart, such as subconscious disgust, rejection or even anger.But wait, such a mentality is very strange, why do I naturally stand in the position of non-duality?

"Hello, Miss?" Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, the boy in front of me bent down and shook his left hand in front of me.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." I recovered and apologized quickly.

"I'm done with the introduction." The boy said politely with a smile.

"Uh, hello Baishi-kun, my name is Hua Tianmi, I live with my father, and it is Ah Ba." I reached out and touched Ah Ba's back beside me, and said absently.

"Oh, by the way, our cat's name is Godzilla!" the teenager added, having to say he won, which brought me back to reality again:

"Godzilla...could it be that monster Godzilla...?"

"Ah, I'm sorry," the boy explained, as if aware that I was very concerned about the name, "Actually, I didn't come up with the name. Tsk tsk, it's all because of that boy Qianya." The boy complained helplessly in a low voice, "In short, everyone shouted and shouted and it became like this... It seems that Godzilla is also very satisfied with this name." Soon, a little doting expression appeared on his face, and he rubbed the big fat face of the cat, The big tabby cat gave a "meow" coquettishly.

"Hanata-san, are you walking alone?"

Hearing that, I looked at myself unnaturally.Walking in a wheelchair is indeed strange to ordinary people, right?

"Well, that's right, take a walk with Ah Ba."

"Actually, I also go out for a walk at this time every day. How about it, I'll push you!"

"Eh?"

Before I could wake up, the boy had already circled behind me:

“Osaka people are very hospitable!”

Although I was a little apprehensive at first, soon the corners of my mouth naturally raised slightly.

This planet is amazing. Everywhere, there are always all kinds of people waiting for you.I think my father must have thought the same way. In a certain place, I met people who could only meet in that place.

Some prejudices in the past will gradually disappear with the deepening of exchanges.

Kuranosuke Shiraishi, this boy is not what I imagined.

"What does Hanada-san think of Osaka?"

"It is interesting."

"Why did you think of moving to Osaka? Could it be because of your father's job assignment?"

"No, it's because I broke my leg half a year ago."

I answered frankly.The accident on the stone steps of the shrine half a year ago, I have included it as a part of my life. Although it is too abrupt compared to other parts of life, now I have begun to face its existence.

However, the atmosphere naturally fell into subtle embarrassment. I guess the boy must be thinking about how to make up for it now, because the girl in the wheelchair in front of him has just experienced a catastrophe set by fate.

"I'm sorry..." The young man apologized softly.

"It's okay." I shook my head.

After another walk, Shiraishi carefully pushed the wheelchair behind me.Hachi obediently followed me, while Godzilla temporarily lay in my arms, sleeping soundly.I caressed the soft fur of the cat and watched the children playing with each other on the street in the distance. I remembered that when I was very young, I always hid in the corner with my camera, searching for interesting pictures.But now, that camera, my close partner, is getting far away from me, and more often, it is left unused on my desk.

After a long time, in order to break this silence, I began to ask:

"Is Baishi-jun a senior pair this year?"

"Yes, in the higher department of Sitianbao Temple."

I nodded, the answer was predictable.

"Where's Hanada-san?"

"I'm the same age as you, but I'm going to drop out of school this year, and my leg injury hasn't stabilized yet."

The boy lost his voice again. This boy seemed very humble in normal times, not as aggressive as he was on the court.

Think about it, too, isn't he always smiling, just an ordinary person of the same age?

"Which school did Hanada-san go to in Tokyo?" Finally, the boy behind him still asked this question.I hesitated a little, deciding whether I should tell the truth, but in the end, I chose to tell the truth:

"Qingxue."

"Qingxue?!" Sure enough, the boy was surprised, even the wheelchair was forced to stop.But soon, he felt that his action just now was a little too big, so he whispered "Sorry".

I shook my head:

"Baishi-kun, I remember you."

"Hey?"

"In the national competition, you defeated Buer."

"You... know each other well?"

"That's right, a former classmate." I only point to this level of relationship. I admit that I know each other well, but I don't want the other party to know about our closer relationship.

"Oh, so that's what happened, what a coincidence!" Baishi nodded suddenly, "This world is too small." Unconsciously, the boy sighed.

"Maybe it's just that Japan is too small." Hearing this, I lowered my head and retorted slightly.

Godzilla in my arms yawned, then curled up safely and lay on my lap.Ah Ba leisurely walked beside me, wagging his tail from time to time and whispering "Woooooo".Maemis vibrate their wings on the green cherry tree trunks, and summer comes quietly with their neighing.

In front of him was a dazzling golden road. At the end of his distant gaze, there seemed to be some floating and distorted images where the road meets Yangguan.The little boy dragged the little girl and ran past the steaming virtual scene. At this golden moment, there seemed to be large waves of honey-colored waves splashing under his feet.Suddenly, the boy stopped and looked back at me.The gentle smile like the warm sun, and the magical eyes that shone with broken blue, as if immersed in the whole sky, came to me together.I stretch
