[Tutor] Daydream

As soon as Tsunayoshi Sawada stepped into the class on Monday morning, he felt the eager gaze of the whole class.

"Sawada, why did you run away from home?"

"I heard that you fell asleep directly under the wishing tree, and you couldn't wake up when you screamed. You almost called the police at home!"

"Is the administrator really a beautiful big sister?"

"...It's the old man!!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi only answered the last question before rushing to his seat, refusing to dwell on the matter any further.

The main reason is...he himself doesn't remember why.

It was early in the morning when someone woke up, and when the mountain wind blew, tears and snot came out from the cold.There was no car to go back to the town at such a late hour, so the administrator angrily picked him up and carried him down the mountain, and drove him all the way back to the police station in his broken van that was leaking from all sides and felt like it was going to fall apart at any moment.

Nana Sawada, who was preparing to report the case, saw her son being sent back frozen into a popsicle, and sent the administrator grandpa away with gratitude, and then asked him to settle the score.

"Why did you run away from home, Gang-jun?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a long time, then shook his head: "I don't remember."

I have no impression at all, and what reason does he have to go to the shrine when it is not a festival at all and has no special significance?Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?

Seeing his sincerity, and unable to think of the reason, Li Baoen also gave up on investigating the matter and drove him back to wash up.Unexpectedly, in just one night, the news that "Waste Chai Gang ran away from home and was thrown back from the mountain by the administrator" had already spread throughout Class A of the second year.

Is someone watching his house? !How can good things spread thousands of miles as soon as bad things grow legs without going out?

The young man was still puzzled, Kobayashi Shou walked up to him: "Sawada, have you done your Chinese homework?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi sat up straight.

It's over, the thank you letter hasn't been written yet.and……

He turned around habitually: "That—"

Eh?

Whose name does he want to call?

The next seat was empty, with no books or stationery, and no one on the seat.The sun shone quietly on the table, and there were small dust floating in the air.

He froze for a moment, suddenly not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Student Xiaolin..."

"what?"

"My neighbor...isn't here?"

Kobayashi Shou was also taken aback: "Your seat next to you? Has anyone ever sat next to you?"

There's none?

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the clean desktop, talking to himself in a trance.

"No……"

##

This strange feeling lasted for a long time.

For example, when someone from the student union came to look for the deputy monitor, he would react slowly for a while before remembering that it was Matsudaira.When walking through the school's wisteria corridor, I always feel that I have talked to someone here before.Also, he was promoted to the third grade, another Tianzhu competition ended, and he was forced to be the main player again, looking at the playground where the crowd had dispersed in a daze.

Fujido-san and Kawata-san are getting better and better with him, but when it comes to copying homework at that time, I can't remember why they suddenly helped.Nakajima-san and Kobayashi-san don't seem to be as unfamiliar as before, and occasionally they can chat a few jokes.

How did they become acquainted?

Can not remember.

Sometimes he would also ask Guidance Temple and Yamamoto, but they all said that he probably remembered it wrong, and Li Baoen had no memory at all.Later, he himself gave up looking for the reason.

The only difference from before was that he never seemed to think about confessing his love to Kyoko again.

When they first entered junior high school, their longing and longing for the school beauty gradually faded away, but now they have become very good friends.Kyoko seems to have a boy he likes, and he doesn't feel much about it.Life moves forward with occasional battles and uneventful routines.In Form [-], thanks to the Spartan teaching by Li Baoen on the eve of the exam, he finally graduated smoothly.

He will be going to high school soon, and he has grown a lot in this year.Sawada Nana packed up her old clothes and planned to donate them. When she found a coat, she found something in the pocket.

She took it out to have a look, then raised her voice to ask Tsunayoshi Sawada who was still downstairs to stop Rambo and Ippei from fighting.

"Mr. Gang? Is this your thing? Don't leave it carelessly."

"Huh? Wait a minute... Lanbo! I told you not to take your fried | pop out at home!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi took a lot of effort to comfort Lanbo, and when he ran upstairs, Sawada Nana had already gone to another room.There was a square wooden sign on the table, and when he picked it up, it seemed to be a wishing sign from the Bisheng Shrine, with only a short line of words written on it.

——I wish Sawada-san a long life.

...I'm so touched that someone even specially blessed him on the wishing card.

But calling him Sawada-san... is it the other students in the class?Why is someone else's brand here?

He looked to the lower right corner, where a name he had never seen was written.

"てらさき...きょう..."

Unconsciously read aloud, read the last syllable, it is obviously an extremely unfamiliar name, but it seems to be so familiar that it has been said thousands of times.

"Terasaki... Anko?"

He repeated it, and it seemed that something in his heart was gradually waking up.It was as if someone had plucked a rusty string hard, and the debris fell off one after another, playing out the original clear and loud music.

——"Xing...that's fine, I've been sitting next to you for a year."

These words suddenly appeared in my mind, and the hand holding the wishing card trembled slightly.

Who is she?

What's the matter with this sentence, isn't there no one sitting next to him?

Moreover, why should he bless him like this?

Speaking of which, I have had this strange feeling since a year ago, as if since I woke up at the shrine...

"Gang, wait for a while, Prison Temple and the others..."

"I'll go out for a while! Don't wait for me!"

Li Baoen came to inform him that there would be a "Vengelian dinner graduation party" in the evening, but Tsunayoshi Sawada suddenly rushed downstairs, opened the door and ran out.He stopped a car and went to the shrine casually, and he didn't remember how much money he threw on the seat.By the time we climbed to the top out of breath, it was already dark.

The evening wind pushed the clouds westward, and the lights in the distance gradually lit up.He stood at the gate of the mountain, staring blankly at the gradually gathering tourists.

A year ago... why did he come here?

"Ming Nai! Don't wander around, the fireworks are about to start!"

I don't know how long I stood, the mountain wind made my limbs stiff.The young parents chased their little daughter past. The next moment, there was a scream above their heads.

He saw the brilliant star point dragging its long tail up to the sky, and with a bang, it exploded.

"boom--!"

It's fireworks.

He came here a year ago to watch the fireworks.I also want to take this opportunity to tell that person what I have been burying in my heart.

More and more fragments gathered, and those forgotten things gradually became clear.Surrounded by admiration one after another, he was clearly in the crowd, but he had never been so lonely as he is now.It seemed that the whole world was separated from him, everyone was moving forward, only he was thrown back to that night a year ago by time.

"apricot……?"

The syllables that could be finished in a split second trembled unbelievably.

where did she goDidn't you say you'd wake him up?

Why did she disappear, and no one mentioned her this year?Why did he forget her?

How could he forget her!

Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his head, but he couldn't see the sky at all, and there were only colorful blurs left in his eyes.The edges and corners of the wishing card were almost embedded in the skin. He wanted to call her name again, but he couldn't make a sound because of sobs.

"I'll call you when the fireworks start."

This was the last sentence that Terasaki Xing said to him. He didn't tell him the cause and effect, not even a farewell.He didn't even understand what was going on, she just disappeared from his life completely.Li Baoen doesn't remember, Yuji-kun and Yamamoto don't remember, and Xiaochun and Kyoko don't remember either.There was only an empty desk next to him, and even the classmates in the class didn't mention this person again, as if she had never appeared before.

How could it not have appeared, that is the person he likes.

Obviously, I wanted to confess that day...

"Mom, this brother is crying!"

The girl sitting on her father's shoulder shouted softly, and her mother hurriedly covered her mouth lightly, and nodded at him apologetically.

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't care, he withdrew from the crowd and walked down the mountain road step by step alone.

##

Back in town, he didn't go home right away.

First, I went around to the address of Terasaki's house in my impression, only to see a half-built house.The black window has no glass, mocking him like a gaping mouth.Neighbors told him that no one had ever lived there, and that the building was half built and then shelved for various reasons.

Not reconciled, he found Ayako Nakajima's house again.The girl opened the door while murmuring and complaining about "who is disturbing people in the middle of the night". When she saw him, she was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out.

"Sawada? Why did you come to my house?"

"There's something... I want to ask you." He stood at the door, not intending to go in, "Do you remember Apricot Terasaki?"

"Huh?" Ayako Nakajima frowned, "Who are you talking about?"

"Terasaki Anko." He repeated in a low voice, "Do you remember her?"

She's your best friend who nearly died trying to get rid of your body grabber.On the day she disappeared, she also said that she would come to your house.

"...Is it a new junior?" Ayako Nakajima thought seriously, "Or a senior who has already graduated? I have never heard of this person at the same level."

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a while, and asked again: "Then do you know about the ring? Varian, there is also the matter of being possessed?"

"What are you talking about?" The girl looked at him sympathetically, "Sawada, you are not bewitched."

Sawada Tsunayoshi took a step back slowly and laughed.Even though he was standing under the street lamp, his eyes were dim.

Sure enough, she didn't remember.

Not even her.

"Yeah..." he said to himself, "I must have been bewitched."

Ayako Nakajima has no impression, and there is no need to ask others for confirmation.He didn't even say goodbye, and left in a daze, walking on the deserted street.

The name on the wishing card is already a bit blurred, but the memory is getting clearer and clearer - those things that happened, what she said, and every expression of her.

She existed, he thought.

They were sitting next to each other, and they didn't even say a word when they first started school.After getting to know her better, I realized that she is actually a very gentle person.

She would help him out of the siege calmly, would fall from upstairs in order to save him, and would deliberately scare him with bad intentions.

Her name is Terasaki Apricot.

He could never find her again.

##

Since then, Sawada Tsunayoshi has never mentioned Terasaki An to anyone again.

Gradually narrowing the distance, disappearing for no reason.The short hugs in the hospital corridor, the wishes told to him under the tree, and the hazy and floating spots of light when we parted.Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he also wonders if these memories are dreams.

By the time he graduated from university, he had become the well-known "Pengelie Ten Generation Leader" in the Mafia.

The power of the newly born Jesso family has spread to almost one-third of Italy. Many small families are overwhelmed and are in danger under Bailan's increasingly arrogant momentum.After Arya's death, even the district jurisdiction belonging to Girunero was repeatedly provoked.

Gironiero needs a backbone, other neutral parties on the sidelines are vacillating, and the old-school mafia alliance also urgently needs Vengley's guarantee.

Yoni's succession is officially on the agenda.

The invitation letters were quickly sent to all the leaders, but the Jesso family was skipped.Girunelo finally officially announced his position, and the participating families will also join the alliance headed by Peng Lie.

Until the morning when the succession ceremony began, Tsunayoshi Sawada had not left Genoa.

The preparations for the ceremony were hasty, and as the deceased of Yuni's grandmother, Ribaun also stayed in Sicily.After finishing the work at hand, Tsunayoshi Sawada connected to the video call with him.The girl next to the little baby was still childish. She was an innocent and lovely child two days ago, but now she had to walk to the center of the storm.

He felt that this was a bit cruel, but the current situation has no time for Youni to grow up like he did back then.She has to protect herself, to stabilize the panic-stricken family, and to face the covetous Bai Lan.

There are a lot of things I want to say, but when it comes to my mouth, it turns into a reminder that sounds harmless.

"Becoming the head of the family will be very hard in the future."

The girl looked at him quietly, and replied softly but firmly: "I know."

She was much stronger than he imagined.

The port of Genoa was attacked almost the same day the news spread, and there were even many elites from the Jesso family in the attacking team.The entire coastline was blocked, and even Vongola's ship was forced to stop in the harbor.Sawada Tsunayoshi stood at the bow of the boat, letting the sea wind whizz around him with water vapor, blowing towards the gradually darkening horizon.

Getting out of here is not difficult.Bai Lan didn't intend to stop them, but just wanted to add a little bit of trouble, so that those people in the succession ceremony would suffer a little while waiting with wide-eyed eyes.Over the years, he has gotten used to these difficulties, and he will no longer ask Li Baoen for help because of this.

Only occasionally when I was busy all night and looked at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, would I think of something that happened many years ago.

For example, when I hadn’t met Li Baoen, I couldn’t even cope with the exam, for example, when the prison temple first appeared, I kicked over his desk hard.At that time, Yamamoto was called a campus star by all the girls in the school, and Senior Hibari would not even look at him when he passed by him.

——Becoming the leader of Vongola, it will be very hard in the future.

She had said the same to him.At that time, he was not very resistant to becoming a mafia, but he still couldn't help but decline when he heard this sentence.

But there are some things that you can't do if you don't want to do it.

Sawada Tsunayoshi gave a low laugh, and his feet shook violently.Bigger and bigger waves beat against the hull, fine droplets of water fell on the sides of the face, the tip of the nose, and the lips, and the salty and astringent bitter taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the throat.

On the endless coastline, he suddenly felt tired like never before.
