Summer of Fireflies

to the taste.

"Gun Ji-kun... Are you also afraid of haunted houses?" I covered my mouth and smiled silently.

No wonder I felt a sense of disobedience when the young man spoke before. It turned out that the young man didn’t want to be his girlfriend’s flower protector, but he couldn’t. Messenger, so that I lost that face in front of my girlfriend.

Well, men love face, just like a woman must dress up when she goes out on a date with her boyfriend. A man who loves dignity and face generally doesn't want to leave a bad impression in front of others, let alone being with his sweetheart before.

I found a short wooden stick on the ground, and stretched the other end of the stick to the eyes of the brown-haired young man, "If you are afraid, let's lead them away together." I smiled at the young man.

The young man froze for a moment, then quickly understood what I meant.So, the young man and I grabbed one end of the stick and walked slowly through the dark and cold passage of the haunted house.

The surrounding light was still very dark, and the dim light kept flickering on the way, and the sounds of ghosts and screams were mixed together, which was unbearable to the ear.

When I was quiet, I lowered my head and looked directly at the ground. I could only hear the footsteps of the two people in my ears, and I felt inexplicably at ease.After peace of mind, a sense of familiarity welled up in my heart for no reason. There was a blurry picture in my memory, but I still couldn't catch that picture.

It seems that a long, long time ago, there was also a person beside me. He held one end of the stick, and I held the other end. The two of them walked down the long stone steps step by step, forgetting what kind of feeling it was. , I just felt that the warmth at that time could overflow the entire chest.

Soon, the light in front gradually increased, and when the two of us finally stepped out of the haunted house, the others were already waiting for us at the door of the haunted house.

Of course, when I got to the door, I quickly threw the stick back into the haunted house.

There is a fountain square not far from the amusement park. A group of us came to this fountain square slowly after we got tired of playing in the amusement park.

The square has a wide area, and the fountain pool is located in the center of the square, and the water in the pool is gurgling and crystal clear.Surrounding the fountain water are three sculptures of Greek gods in different poses. Because I don’t know the Western legends, I don’t know which three gods in Greek mythology the three sculptures are.

Do you know the origin of the sculpture? What is more important is that this is a fountain where you can make a wish.Squabs are flying around in the fountain square, and the white and gray ones land on the ground to peck from time to time.

The food for the white pigeons in my hand was scattered all over the place, and the pigeons in the distance immediately rushed over to grab the food.On the left is the Fountain Square, and on the right is a huge clock tower standing in a tall building. I looked at the time on the clock tower, and there are still 17 minutes left before 5 hours.

Compared with the amusement park, the flow of people on the square is relatively rare. With beautiful fountains and romantic clock towers, there is no place more suitable for a marriage proposal than here.

In order to create opportunities for the youth and Kyoko, I secretly signaled Anna and An An to send the others to watch the famous puppet show in Palermo. I have no interest in the puppet show I have seen, so I chose to stay in the square and continue to feed the pigeons. Bai Yun, take a look at the young man's romantic proposal. I will never admit that I chose to stay out of curiosity.

The passing crowd sometimes blocked my sight. There was a pair of handsome men and beautiful women by the fountain pool.

The bright sunset behind them gave their profiles a layer of golden light. Looking at the matching couple in the distance, I suddenly felt a sense of beauty in my heart.

However, after the young man took out the ring and the woman was about to nod to agree to the other party's marriage proposal, this beautiful painting was completely destroyed by a gunshot suddenly sounded in the square.

The blond woman in sight still had a gentle smile on her eyebrows and eyes, and an enchanting red blood flower slowly bloomed on the chest of her pale yellow dress. The woman who fell in the pool of blood seemed to have fallen into hell Lucifer, in this dazzling red curtain, the frightened face of the brown-haired young man is always reflected in my eyes.

The author has something to say: So I got stuck again, kiss me, please leave a message~~ Let me know of your existence

15. No return at night

The door of the operating room of a certain hospital in Palermo is closed tightly, the light shines on the clean walls, reflecting dizzy light constantly, the surrounding atmosphere is eerily quiet, and the people outside the operating door are waiting here quietly The opening of the door.

Various negative worries such as anxiety, restlessness, fear and fear surfaced on everyone's faces.

The brown-haired young man clasped his white knuckles, his face couldn't hide his exhaustion and worry, and looking at Xiaochun and the others, they all had the same worried and frightened faces.

In Palermo's summer, the weather will gradually turn cooler at night. When the breeze blows over the skin, the coldness will directly spread to the atrium.

I sat on a cold bench with An An in my arms. I felt the little guy in my arms was a little cold. I wanted to cover him with a coat to resist the cold air, but I found that I was wearing white clothes and trousers. I didn’t have anything to keep warm. The black-haired young man handed me his suit jacket until the light in front of him was covered by shadows. I raised my head to say thank you to the young man, but the young man shook his head and signaled me not to speak.

Now everyone's nerves are tense because of Kyoko's operation. At this time, if there is any movement, it will bring shock to everyone. It is better not to speak so as not to accelerate their nerves that are about to collapse.Jingzi's operation was carried out at midnight before she was sent out of the operating room by the doctor.

The doctor said that the bullet did not hit Jingzi's heart, and the operation successfully removed the bullet. Therefore, in the next step, as long as Jingzi is transferred to the ward for recuperation and quietly waits for her to wake up, Jingzi can be completely out of danger Yes, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Sawada Tsunayoshi who insisted on staying and waiting for Kyoko to wake up, everyone else planned to go back to save energy and come to visit Kyoko tomorrow.

Palermo was still brightly lit late at night due to street lighting. When I got home, An An, who was lying on my back, had already fallen asleep. She sat on the bench all night without saying a word. After all, An An was still a child My child, I can't stand the torment of the long night.

When I took the time to visit Jingzi the next day, she already woke up in the hospital.The blond woman on the bed was wearing a white hospital gown, and she was on a drip. Her pale complexion did not show a trace of rosiness. When she saw us coming to visit her, she struggled to smile, bright but not a little hazy.

Jingzi is a very strong person. I stood outside the door and looked at the thinning back of the brown-haired young man sitting on the bed, and sighed inexplicably.

After that, Jingzi's complexion gradually improved under the treatment of the hospital. I didn't visit her often. After all, Jingzi was just a woman with a better relationship with me, not as good as Xiaochun and Anna, but she cared about her once a week. Condolences are still necessary.

Jingzi is Xiaochun's good friend. Xiaochun goes to the hospital every day to bring Jingzi a lunch box, and accompany Jingzi to talk and relax. Every day is rain or shine.I wanted to persuade Xiaochun to take a break countless times, but every time I saw Xiaochun pretending to be a strong smile, I couldn't say any words of comfort.

Physically, we must maintain our energy to take care of Kyoko. Mentally, not only must we not show a trace of vulnerability or worry, but we must muster our energy to talk to Kyoko with vigor every day, and take care of patients under the dual pressure of body and spirit. Xiaochun is also a Very strong woman.

As Kyoko's complexion improved, the water in the vase in the ward was changed again and again. At first, there was a brown-haired young man watching every day in the ward, and Takeshi Yamamoto, Hayato Gokuji and others occasionally visited. Gradually, I don't know why. , Xiaochun is the only person who takes care of Kyoko every day.

The woman lying on the hospital bed reading a book had a faint smile in the corner of her eyes, and she didn't show any strangeness to the brown-haired young man who disappeared by her side. I wanted to ask the reason several times, but in the end I couldn't swallow the words that came to my mouth into the stomach.

Ever since I never saw the brown-haired young man in Kyoko's ward, the light in the room next to me was pitch black every night, and the light was never turned on once.

The brown-haired young man is my junior and neighbor, even if he wanted to move out of the villa, he didn't tell me, so I couldn't help but be a little concerned.However, the affairs between the brown-haired young man and Kyoko are their own affairs. No matter how much I care about the brown-haired young man, their affairs have nothing to do with me.

After Jingzi was hospitalized for a month, I took An An to visit Jingzi, and left An An in the ward to chat with Jingzi. I went out to fill some hot water, and Xiaochun went out to change the water for the lucky bamboo in the vase.

"cousin."

The place where the hot water is installed and where the tap water is changed is in the same place. I just filled up the hot water with the kettle when I heard Xiaochun call out to me in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, Xiaochun turned his head and asked me in a low voice: "Cousin, tell me, can people from two worlds never get together no matter how much they love each other?"

When I looked at Xiaochun's reddish eyes, I knew that something must have happened in the past month, which made Xiaochun's eyes full of vitality unknowingly stained with a layer of sadness. "Is it... something about Kyoko?" I asked Xiaochun.

Although Jingzi and Xiaochun didn't say anything on the surface, I still vaguely noticed that Xiaochun was inevitably affected by the matter of Jingzi and the brown-haired youth.

The sound of running water was still gurgling, and after a long time, I heard Xiaochun's hoarse voice, "Jingzi, she...has broken up with Gang-kun." Turn off the faucet, and Xiaochun put it down.
