Summer of Fireflies

She really treated me like her daughter-in-law. We didn’t tell her about the fact that Tsunayoshi Sawada and I were dating for only one month. We hesitated to talk to Aunt Nana several times, but we met her bright and bright smiling face , I couldn’t open my mouth again.

Regarding the one-month dating period, during the dating period with the young man, both of them kept silent about this matter, so as not to feel uncomfortable.

I feel that the happiness during this period seems to be time borrowed from God. I know that the day of parting will come sooner or later, but before that, I just hope that the time that stays on us can pass more slowly , slower...

Because I had to help Aunt Nana make lunch, I couldn't spare a hand to pass my bag of natal chocolates to the young man. Taking advantage of Aunt Nana asking me to get things, I took off my apron and stepped out of the kitchen.

The room in the hall was full of people, including Biyangqi, Reborn, Rambo, Futa, Ippei, Hayato Gokudera, and Takeshi Yamamoto.

I don't know why everyone came here to celebrate Valentine's Day, because it is a friend of young people, I gave each of them a bag of Giri chocolate.

Lanbo boy ran away after receiving the chocolate I gave him, Fengtai boy and Ipping girl said thank you obediently, Gokuji Hayato took it awkwardly, and did not forget to snort at me, Takeshi Yamamoto smiled Thanking me, he picked a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth on the spot, while the Reborn baby standing on Biyangqi's shoulder smiled coldly at the students in front of him.

Under the sight of a bunch of gossip lights, I took the young man to the corner, and seeing that there was no third party watching, I was relieved, put the special bag of natal chocolates in the young man's hands, and said nervously: "Well, Tsunaji-kun...Happy Valentine's Day!" It was the first time I gave something to a young man on Valentine's Day, and I was a little nervous.

The young man frowned, picked one at random, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully twice, suddenly he tilted his head, and quickly planted a superficial kiss on my forehead: "Happy Valentine's Day, senior sister!" The young man held the In that bag of chocolates, the clear eyes narrowed into an almost brilliant arc.

I was taken aback by his sudden kiss, and after realizing it, I ran back to the kitchen with my flushed cheeks in my hands.

My heart was pounding until Aunt Nana called my name. I touched the place he kissed just now, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but start to rise.

"Sister, let me take you to a place."

In the afternoon I was drying clothes on the roof. Today’s weather is good. The winter sun makes my face warm and warm. Aunt Nana washed a lot of quilts and asked me to take them out to dry. The quilts were only half dried. I found the roof. The young man on the street took my wrist and was about to go downstairs.

Feeling that he was holding my wrist harder than usual, I frowned and struggled, but was held even tighter by the young man.

"Wait, those quilts..."

...If you want to go, at least wait until I finish drying all the quilts, right?

"Don't worry about the quilt."

"Where are we going then?"

"Dating."

"what?"

I think my expression must have been silly at the time, because we just went on a date a few days ago, is it really okay to go out on dates so frequently, Tsunaji-kun?

"Mom, let's go first." The young man walked a little eagerly, and he shouted to Aunt Nana on the other side of the rooftop.

Hearing the young man's voice, Aunt Nana got her head out from another quilt that was drying in the sun, and waved to us with a smile: "Have a nice Valentine's Day, it doesn't matter if you come back later~"

I:"……"

When I walked downstairs, I went back and put on a coat. The young man took my hand and didn't let go until I walked out of the house. The sun was just right outside, and the sky was clear and cloudless.

He got a bicycle from nowhere, the young man was at the helm, and I sat at the rear of the car with my arms around his waist, the sun-baked wind was slightly dry and cold.

I put my arms around his waist and brushed the wind-blown long hair behind the ears.

Although the weather in February tends to warm up, it is still at the end of winter in essence. The cold wind blows through the slack branches on the roadside and blows away the snow flakes, and the coldness remains unchanged.

"Gunji-kun, where are we going?" I sat behind and looked around, and the crowds and buildings on the street passed by me row by row.

"Secret." The young man looked back and smiled faintly.

"...so stingy." I puffed up my face in a low voice.

"Anyway, we'll know when we get there." The young man smiled and focused on riding instead.

We got off at a place that looked like a park. The young man put the bicycle in the parking lot and took my hand for a walk.

Surrounded by trees and gardens, he took my hand and walked down the path, and soon stopped and blindfolded me: "Senior, close your eyes first."

"Oh." I didn't know what mystery he was up to, so I obediently closed my eyes. When the young man put his hands down, the light in front of my eyes brightened a little.

I can't see the road with my eyes closed, but with him holding me in front, I don't worry that I will fall or bump into others. The smell of green grass in the park smells into my nose, the air is slightly cold, but the palms of young people are warm , just like my mood at the moment.

"It's here." The young man who was holding my hand stopped suddenly, and I accidentally bumped into his hard back, causing my nose to hurt slightly.

"You can open your eyes."

The warm breath approached my cheeks, I rubbed my sore nose and opened my eyes, a gorgeous sea of ​​red flowers broke into my eyes suddenly:

——It’s plum blossoms in full bloom in winter.

The pink petals stand profusely on the branches, and the delicate and beautiful flowers occupy half of the wide street. The street is now full of people in pairs, most of whom come here to enjoy the flowers and date. Lovers, under the trees and on the streets are covered with pink, as beautiful as stepping on a red carpet.

"It's so beautiful!" My eyes lit up and I praised.

The national flower of Japan is cherry blossoms, and cherry blossoms are the most planted on the streets of Japan. Cherry blossoms will not bloom in winter, but plum blossoms are different.

In the winter when all the flowers wither, only the plum blossoms bloom the most in this season.

Plum blossoms are loved by the Chinese people in China, and Japanese people love cherry blossoms more than other flowers. Therefore, it is difficult to see such a beautiful plum blossom forest in Naimori Town.

A few petals suddenly fell from the top of my head, and the young man next to me stretched out his hand, his smiling eyes bent, and brushed the petals off my hair for me.

I was immersed in this beautiful sea of ​​flowers, and when I turned my head, I saw a small red box that the young man conjured out of nowhere.

My heart skipped a beat, and my breathing became rapid.

"Don't be nervous, it's not an engagement ring." The young man chuckled.

My heart was relieved, but at the same time I couldn't help holding a bit of anticipation.

The young man opened the box, revealing a beautiful silver diamond ring, shining in the orange sunlight.He took my right hand, paused for a moment when he glanced at the ring JOY gave me on my middle finger, and then firmly put his silver ring into my index finger.

The meaning of the diamond ring on the right index finger: it represents that we are still in love.

Staring at the ring on the index finger of my right hand, I was slightly taken aback.

The young man held my entire right hand in his palm, and his dark and gloomy gaze narrowed slightly: "If... if senior sister meets someone she likes in the future, take it off again." After a pause, he Then he looked faintly across the sea of ​​flowers:

"Our time...is running out."

The tip of my nose turned sore, I took the initiative to wrap my arms around his waist, and buried my face deeply under the collarbone of his clothes to inhale.

The young man is right, our time... is indeed running out.

The one-month dating period is almost here. No wonder the young man showed a rare anxiety when he pulled me out this afternoon.

The time we spent together passed so fast, it was almost... When the deadline came, we were not ready to break up.

The author has something to say: The ten-year plot can only be unfolded after returning to Palermo, during this period, continue to warm and LOVE... Sweet to you!

62. Reluctant

We stayed out late on Valentine’s Day and came back. There is a famous peach blossom brewed izakaya near the plum blossom forest. The proprietress of the izakaya is a Chinese.

We went to the izakaya to taste the peach blossom wine, and at night we went to the skyscrapers to watch the night view of the city. In the silent night sky, we saw thousands of lights twinkling, and the picture was so beautiful.

The day before returning to Palermo, the young man took my hand for a walk on the streets of Nishoricho.

I want to visit the Bingsheng Middle School he used to attend. The students are all at home for the winter vacation, so there are no people in the empty classrooms of Bingsheng Middle School.

The young man pointed to the seat where he used to sit in the classroom, and talked about his school days in Bingsheng Middle School. We walked out of the school gate while talking. After leaving the school gate, turn left 50 meters and you will find the famous Girls’ Green Middle School. Let me take you I went to see his middle school, and I took him to see my high school.

Women's Green Middle School is an all-female school, and there is a sign saying "Boys are not allowed" on the school gate. Fortunately, it is the holiday period, otherwise I would not be able to borrow the key to take the young people in for sightseeing.

When we went back, the setting sun had already slanted, and neither of them mentioned the matter of breaking up tomorrow. They walked across the embankment holding hands, leaving two long shadows behind them.

"It is said that there was a blind couple who were separated on the crowded street, but they found each other by feeling, and finally got the blessing of Cupid." Halfway home, I suddenly felt playful: "It is said that if two people can find each other with their eyes closed within twenty steps on the street, then they are a destined couple.
