[Net King] July Hokkaido

Liang became more and more reticent, and the friends around her gradually moved away from her.The two are not in the same class, and all the news is heard from other people. Occasionally, Yagyu can see Ryo passing by the window of his class, often alone. Later, there is a girl named Akita Masako by her side. , she is also the manager of the tennis department.

The two haven't talked since then, and when they met on the road, Liang left in a hurry without saying a word, and this situation lasted until they were in the second grade.Yagyu went to the tennis club and found something that she really liked, which relieved her depressed heart. It is said that Ryo joined a painting club, but she was expelled because she didn't go often, so she became a full-year student. laughing stock.

However, the thing that really made the two meet again came from a general cleaning. Ryo's love letter was discovered, and then it was spread throughout the grade. In the end, everyone knew that she liked Yagyu Hiroshi. This should have been a happy thing Things, because he is liked by someone, and that person is also liked by him.Then, every time a boy of that age saw the screams of the two of them, he hated him very much.Because this incident caused a lot of trouble, even his teammates would tease him from time to time in the end, which made him feel more resistant to her.

However, Liang said that the love letter was not written by her.

He didn't listen to these words, he just thought it was her sophistry, and the conversation between the two broke up after a year.

During the trip to the sophomore sister school, Ryo pushed a girl who liked him down, and finally her brother came forward to settle the matter. Fortunately, the hurt girl didn't suffer any substantial harm, otherwise... he Once I heard the teacher in the principal's office say that Ryo might be expelled.

He didn't want Ryo to be fired, so he went to find her, just as Ryo was about to explain to him that the girl wasn't pushed by him.

However, he remembered that he was very angry at that time.

He interrupted the girl's chatter, and almost shouted, "Can you stop getting into trouble all the time?"

Liang froze in place, watching her motionlessly.

Those who really know him know that he often has a very bad temper, but because he hides it well, most people will only think that he is a perfect gentleman.

After getting angry, he himself was stunned for a few seconds before he could react, but when he saw the girl's face, he stopped again.He has never seen Liang cry. She was abandoned by her father, divorced by her parents, or bullied by others. She never cried. She is crying because of him now.

Liu Sheng wanted to comfort her, so he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, handed her the handkerchief, turned and left.

Time prolongs everything and urges the boy to grow up. When he realizes that the two have not spoken for a long time, they have entered the third semester of the second grade. At that time, the weather in Kanagawa was suddenly cold, and the white air they exhaled turned into frost. , Condensation on the window, the trees on the street have lost all their leaves, looking bare, very pitiful.Pedestrians all wore thick scarves.

That afternoon in January, like all the afternoons before, the setting sun stretched the figures of the two people to a long distance. Standing in front of him, Ryo moved his lips and said, "I like you, Yagyu."

The light and shadow on her face flickered, and the eyes looking at him were bright, reminding him of the past of the two of them. He opened his mouth, but said the words of rejection.

"Feel sorry."

And the girl seems to have talked about it long ago, he would say that, with a self-deprecating expression, lowering his head, as if talking to himself: "Well, Masako is right, you really don't like me..."

Liu Sheng was slightly taken aback.

The girl raised her face full of tears, sniffed her nose, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I've always caused so much trouble with you, I'm really sorry."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the boy.

Liu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Ryo turned around and ran down the rooftop quickly.

He spent that afternoon absent-mindedly, with complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart. When he went to find her in her class after school, he was told that the other party had gone back.

He was walking back in a daze when he suddenly heard an emergency braking sound coming from the front, and the wheels rubbed against the ground violently and screamed. He wanted to avoid the crowded crowd, but suddenly heard a vague Exclamation.

"Why can't you think about it..."

"A teenage girl, she can't think about crashing a car."

"fortunately."

"..."

He obviously didn't say his name, but he suddenly thought of Ryo, and when he suddenly turned his head to look, he saw boys and girls in uniforms of Lihai University lying on the side of the road together.

That was his nightmare.

-

After recovering from the car accident, Ryo returned to school, as if she was a different person, she was smiling at all of them, but she didn't seem to be smiling.

She can't talk anymore.

Liu Sheng only felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

During the days of the co-studio, he could often see Jiro Akutagawa of the Ice Emperor walking beside her every day, but she patiently agreed to every request he made and made delicious snacks for them.Liu Sheng suddenly realized that he didn't even know when she did such a good job in home economics.

That night, he was lying on the bed and did not fall asleep, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and a familiar coughing sound, he got up in a strange way, and finally saw the girl's figure in the kitchen.

Then she cooks for her next time. When he deliberately asked girls if they eat minced garlic, she gave him an affirmative answer.

Well, she actually started eating minced garlic.He remembered that he told her before that he didn't like the taste of minced garlic, so she didn't eat it anymore. Sure enough, she still didn't like herself as it was said in school.

I should feel happy, right? She finally doesn't like herself, and he doesn't have to live in guilt and self-blame anymore.

Later, she mentioned to him about transferring schools, and later, she moved to Tokyo to go to school, and the only connection between the two was broken.

When the two meet again, Ryo has many friends around her, can talk again, and has another boy who can take good care of her, Yushi Ninja, who is known as the genius of the Ice Emperor.

During the sleepover in winter, when he found out, Xiao Liang was already with Yushi Ninzu.That night, he knew that Yushi Ninzu made such a move because he saw him in the corner. The relationship between them was so good that others would envy others, but he was not qualified to say anything.

Later, she was admitted to the hospital because of her injuries, and her condition was very serious, but Akita who fell from the steps only injured her arms and legs, which made him suspicious, so he secretly investigated the matter, and it happened that at that time There were witnesses who saw it all.When he knew the truth, Yagyu calmly talked to Akita a lot, but the girl told her a lot about the past.

She said that she didn't want to say that Xiao Liang was injured so badly, she just wanted to push her away, she didn't want to frame her with a love letter and make everyone hate her, but the love letter just happened to be in her bag, And the girl who was pushed downstairs by Xiaoliang, she didn't want to mess with her, and...

In the end she said she liked him, and she said she was sorry.

Liu Sheng didn't answer her, but just left the ward in silence, a girl's sobbing voice could be heard in the room.

He who should say sorry is because he doesn't believe in Xiao Liang, because he broods over the past, it's his own fault, he is the one who should say sorry.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, it was a bright sunny day, and everything was bright. He went to find Xiaoliang, told her that he was sorry, and said a lot of things. Those who felt guilty were still regretful.

But the girl just kept her head down, and finally looked at him calmly, and smiled softly, not mocking, not joking, but plain to scary.

She said two words.

"Hey, Yagyu, I really liked you seriously before."

"But there is only liking, and it was only once."

Even though it was an exceptionally sunny weather, the sunshine made him want to cry.

He had failed that girl's long secret love and liking, as well as her trust and dependence. For the rest of his life, he actually lost her forever, the girl he once went to Hokkaido with, the girl he had fantasized about the future.

In the long summer to come, I will be alone after all.
