[Net King] July Hokkaido

On Christmas Eve, the Ice Emperor began his winter vacation.

Ryo Katagiri and Aki Atobe spent Christmas Eve outside, and returned to Kanagawa with Fujii Juri the next day.Compared with Tokyo, the weather in Kanagawa is warmer and closer to the sea. The air is filled with the faint smell of the sea and salty smell, which is moist and nostalgic.

After returning to the original place after a few months, she still has a lot of emotion in her heart.

The house has not changed, and my own house has not changed, probably because Pianwu Qianshan often cleans the house, the house is still very clean, and everything looks brand new.

However, the only difference is that on Christmas Eve, Kunihiko Katagiri came back.

Pianwuliang was helping Pianwu Qianshan to hang things on the Christmas tree, when she heard the doorbell ringing suddenly, she was the first to get off the bench to open the door, but she froze in place when she saw the figure standing outside.

"Xiao Liang, what's wrong..."

Pianwu Qianshan came out of the living room, with the ribbon still hanging on his body, and pulled it off as he walked, but was also stunned the moment he looked up.

The person standing outside was wearing a vest and black trousers, and a decent and expensive black windbreaker. There were a few white hairs between the thick black hair, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, revealing a shrewd and capable look. Resolute and stern, even when he is old, he can see the handsome appearance of the past.

The middle-aged man glanced at her, and said in a slightly gentle tone, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Pian Wuliang looked at the figure that only existed in his memory, and opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, and stood aside to make way for the aisle.

Pianwu Qianshan walked up to her, gently held her cold palm, and smiled at the man, "Father, why are you here suddenly? We thought your company was busy."

"Well, I haven't been very busy recently, so I just happened to come and see you tonight."

The man's tone was gentle, not as cold as his face.

At this moment, Fujii Juri came over from the kitchen, took the coat that the man had just taken off, and while hanging it aside, said: "We haven't gathered for a long time, and it happens that your father also has something to talk to you about."

Pianwu Qianshan was stunned for a few seconds, and it took him a long time to reply dryly, "That's it."

Pian Wuliang stood beside the boy, looking at the man in front of him, with his head slightly lowered.

Her father, Kunihiko Katagiri.

The elite entrepreneur who was astounded in the market, built the Pianwu consortium single-handedly, but he was not a good father.

At least for Pianwuliang, that is the case.

On Christmas Eve, looking out through the window with window paper, the sky began to snow again, this time it fell heavily, the ground, tree branches, and roofs of other people's houses were covered with goose feather snow in an instant, like a carpet pure white.Warm yellow lights were reflected on the windows of each house, people could be vaguely seen shaking, and bursts of laughter lingered above the entire sky, which lasted for a long time.

The four of them sat around the table, and the meal was inexplicably depressing. If it weren't for the occasional chat between Kataki Qianshan and Fujii Juri, the atmosphere would have been even more awkward.And Pian Wuliang sat quietly at the side the whole time, and didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

After dinner, it was still snowing outside, and it was getting bigger and bigger, Fujii Juli simply cleaned up a room for Kunihiko Katagiri to live in temporarily.Pian Wuliang washed up early and entered her room. She lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a long time, her mind was still abnormally clear, so she turned over and took her mobile phone to send a message.

Her heart seemed to be full of something, which made her sleepless.

The group is much more lively today than in the past, Yue Ren and the others are complaining about the need to train for Christmas, while Ci Lang is full of praise for the desserts at the training camp, and strongly hopes that they will also come to taste it.Aki Atobe is probably having dinner with his family, but this point is not online.

After Ryo Katagiri sent Merry Christmas greetings to her friends one by one, she received a voice call from Yushi Ninzu.

After connecting, a boy's familiar and gentle voice came from over there.

"Xiao Liang, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Yoshi."

Pian Wuliang was a little surprised and unaccustomed to his sudden call, the two of them were quiet for a second or two before breaking the silence, she asked casually: "I heard from Yue Ren that you still have to train tonight?"

The other party laughed, with a hoarse and tired voice, "Well, but the training is over now."

"Is that so... Are you tired today?"

"I was a little uncomfortable before, but I gradually got used to it." There was a little noise from the other end of the phone, followed by a burst of messy footsteps, and a few hecklings from time to time.

"I said, don't make fooling around..."

"..."

"Mom also..."

The helpless voice of the other party came through the phone.

Then there was a sound of closing the door, and the boy's voice came again.

"Hey Xiaoliang, guess what I'm doing now?"

Pian Wuliang got up, half leaned against the window, watching the snow scene outside.

"Are you looking at... the snow scene?" She asked softly, and unexpectedly got a positive answer from the other party.

"Well," the boy's voice was gentle, "I guess you are also watching the snow scene now."

Pian Wuliang listened to the whistling wind coming from the phone, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips slightly.

"Wouldn't it be cold to answer the phone outside?"

"Well, if you don't stand outside, how will you know how beautiful the snow is?"

The other party chuckled and called her name.

"Um?"

"Remember what we said earlier?"

Before she could answer, a boy's voice sounded.

"If you feel sad, find a place to shout it out, so that the gods in the sky can hear it." The boy's voice was low and deep like a cello, and it sounded in his ears, like the warm rising sun in winter, or like a spring breeze blowing through the air. The fields of country songs, every inch of grass and spring light.

She felt as if she was going to be immersed in his voice. After a while, she rubbed her eyes lightly, couldn't help laughing out loud, and then responded heavily.

"it is good."

"Yushi, the weather has gotten cold recently, remember to wear more clothes."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now, but on your side, I heard that the temperature has dropped sharply, so you need to wear some clothes, and you have the injury on your back, and you should always remember to keep warm."

"Don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore."

"Haha, Xiaoliang is in my heart, isn't she just a child who needs to be taken care of?"

"..."

"Speak well, or I'll hang up."

"Well, fine, fine, I'll listen to you."

"Hey, Xiaoliang, I miss you very much."

"……Me too."

"If you encounter unhappy things in the future, don't worry about it alone, remember to tell me, because we can rely on each other, can't we?"

"……Um."

We are beings who can depend on each other and grow together.

The next day, Kunihiko Katagiri left. Before leaving, he glanced at her lightly and nodded slightly.That look told her that this wouldn't be the last time they saw each other.

The environment around the community is still the same as before, except that there are more children running around in the community because of Christmas, there is no other difference.

It was too cold outside, so Pianwuliang usually stayed in the room without leaving the door, until one day a group of children came to her.

There are three children in the yard, all of whom are only eight or nine years old. The girl in the lead thought it was her, her eyes lit up first, and she was pushed and twisted by other friends for a while before she came forward. She asked timidly, "Yes, is it sister Pianwu?"

Pian Wuliang was slightly stunned, a little surprised but still nodded, and in the next second, he saw obvious joy on the faces of several children.

The girl who asked her about flowers just now was a little more courageous, her eyes opened wide, and she asked her in a low voice: "Sister Pianwu, yes, can you tell us a story?"

"tell a story?"

Pian Wuliang smiled slightly, "But I don't know how to tell stories."

Several children were a little disappointed, and one of them murmured, "But brother Liusheng said that sister Pianwu can tell stories...", although the voice was very small, but because of the close distance, she still heard it up.

Pian Wuliang was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, "Who are you talking about... Brother Liusheng?"

The child pointed to a nearby house, "Brother Liu Sheng lives here."

Pien Wuliang looked in the direction of his finger, and it was Yagyu Hiroshi's house.She was silent for a few seconds before she asked with a smile: "Is that brother who told you that I can tell stories?"

The children looked at each other and nodded, and a little boy went on to say: "Because Brother Liusheng mentioned Sister Pianwu when he told us the story last year, but he didn't go back after he talked about Sister Pianwu after she transferred to another school." Let’s talk about it, let’s ask her to tell us if we meet sister Pianwu in the future.”

After transfer?

Is it after she transferred to Bingdi?

Pian Wuliang was stunned for a long while before returning to his senses.

She pulled the smile on her lips lightly, her throat was slightly dry, "Then can you tell me what story that brother Liu Sheng told you?"

Several children struggled for a while before a little girl answered, "That's right... it was Xichuan and Xiaoshi who had a fight, and brother Liusheng told us about him and Pianwu to comfort them. About my sister, he said that if the two are good friends who have played together since childhood, it doesn’t matter if they quarrel, as long as they apologize sincerely, they can still be good friends, don’t wait until you regret it.”

Pian Wuliang smiled slightly.

"Sister Pianwu," the girl who asked her before called her crisply, "Little Shitou and I have reconciled, so have you reconciled with brother Liu Sheng? He said that you changed schools because you were angry with him." Yes, so he has been very guilty."

The little boy next to him blushed and said loudly, "I told you not to call me like that!"

Pianwu was quiet for a while before replying very lightly.

"Hey, little Nishikawa, the next time you meet that brother, can you bring me a sentence and tell him...we...are still friends."

After the vacation, Ryo Katagiri returned to Tokyo, and Chiyama Katagiri also returned to Lihai University to resume classes.

Within more than a month after the tennis club left, everyone gradually got used to the days without them. The last semester of middle school was filled with a touch of sadness, because most people were not sure whether they would stay in Bingdi, So it's time to part ways, and for Pian Wuliang, she will definitely go straight to Bingdi High School, because she still has unfinished business.

In the cherry blossom season in March, the cherry blossoms are flying, and Ice Emperor also ushered in the annual graduation season.

On the day of graduation, all the members of the tennis club did not come back. I heard that Renzu said in the message that they were going to compete abroad, and because of the flight delay, they could not come back to attend the graduation ceremony.

The crowd gathered together, crying and laughing to accept their upcoming parting.

Holding flowers in his hands, Pian Wuliang looked up into the distance, the sky was blue and clear, and the plane flew by rumblingly, dividing the white clouds into fragmented parts, leaving a row of white and long traces behind him.

In March, everything is clear and the grass grows and warblers fly. At that time, their years are bright and their lives are pure.

The author has something to say:

The second character appears.

Haha, I told everyone before that Juan [-] might take a bit of a wealthy route. Seeing Ryo's father appearing, I should be able to guess a bit.
