[Comprehensive] Secret
Chapter 4
The matter of Echigo Nozomi is not very important now. They have been friends for a semester anyway, and they are almost inseparable. The sudden estrangement at this time will definitely cause many strange things, so it is better to take it easy. take your time.
Holding the bread she bought from a small shop, Ai Beichuan slowly climbed up to the balcony on the top floor.I tried to push the door on the balcony, but it was not locked.
There is also a platform on the balcony that can be climbed up. Standing on it, you can almost look at the entire campus.As for whether you can see clearly, that is not an important detail.
Biting the bread bag, Ai Beichuan rubbed her hands, climbed up the stairs, and when she finally stood on the top platform, she looked at the endless Teiko and took a deep breath.If I remember correctly, the first time we met was here, right?
I still remember that at that time, she was just standing on the edge, leaning on the railing to blow the wind, and the boy with a bright smile stopped her in a panic and said - don't be too hard on yourself, classmate!
"Student, don't be too hard on yourself!"
Kise Ryota just took advantage of the noon time to avoid the enthusiastic female students, ran to the balcony to blow some air, and took a rest in the sun. As a result, when he opened the door, he saw a silver man standing on the edge of the balcony. A white-haired girl, she raised her head slightly, her half-closed eyes could be seen from her exposed side face, her pink lips were pursed into a straight line, and the whole person was under the sunlight, with a transparent feeling, as if she was about to die in the next second. Wings sprouted from the back and spread their wings to fly.
At that moment, he didn't know what happened to him, so he yelled that sentence directly at the girl.
Bei Chuan Ai's body froze suddenly, she felt that she must have an auditory hallucination, otherwise how could she have read that sentence directly?Shaking his head, he continued to squint his expression slightly, looking at the clear sky, his mood seemed to have improved a lot.
"That... classmate? Are you okay?"
......
The voice that was unwilling to be ignored rang out again, and Ai Beichuan slowly put down her hand on the railing, and turned her head to look.
"I'm just blowing the air, do you have any ideas?"
Huang Lailiang felt too deeply that she shouldn't talk too much out of curiosity. Looking at the girl on the stage, her eyes obviously suspected that he was a snake maniac!
Pooh!He is not a snake spirit!He is obviously a good boy who cares about the girl who is going to jump off the building, how could he be seen as a snake man? qaq!
"Ahaha, it turns out that classmate, you are blowing the wind, so don't stand in such a dangerous place, you can easily fall down here." Kise Ryota smiled embarrassedly while rubbing his head.
The girl with silver-white long hair looked down at the boy with a bright smile and no embarrassment, "There are railings here."
After finishing speaking, she jumped off the side of the table, turned her back to Huang Lai, hugged her own bread, and ate sparsely.
Feeling disgusted by others, Kise touched his nose uncomfortably, and didn't intend to stay here to annoy others, so he simply turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
"Hey."
The girl behind him suddenly made a cold voice, and Kise Ryo turned around strangely.
"The weather is fine, don't you want to come up and enjoy the sun?"
The girl's voice was not soft at all, unlike ordinary girls' voices, the ending was raised upwards, like a coquettish one.Her voice gave him the feeling that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and there was a trace of stiffness in her tone and sense of language.By coincidence, Kise nodded, climbed up the stage, walked to a place a certain distance away from the girl, and sat directly on the ground.
He slightly closed his golden-brown eyes, feeling the warm breeze and the intense sunlight shining on his body, and suddenly, he felt drowsy.
Beichuan Ai finished the bread in her hands silently, because her posture and movements were too rigid, she almost choked on the bread without water.She blushed stiffly, and beat her chest with her right fist, trying to swallow the flat bread quickly.
"Eh!"
The sudden hiccup made Ai Beichuan cover her mouth as if she was taken aback, and she mechanically turned her head to look at her side.The boy two meters away was lying on his back with his hands behind his head, looking at the slightly raised corners of his mouth, as if he was in a dream.
It turned out to be asleep...
Ai Beichuan stood up slowly, and patted the dust behind her. The restrained feeling finally disappeared like the ebb tide.
This person still likes to appear so abruptly without saying hello.
Her gaze landed on the boy's face, then moved down, and finally settled on his ankle.
【Kise-kun can no longer play basketball. 】
That sentence has been deeply imprinted in her heart and cannot disappear.When she learned from the Internet why Kise-kun had put down the basketball for some reason, she once again got into a dead end.
If...if she hadn't gone abroad with her at the beginning, she had chosen to prove her own life willfully, and hadn't lied and lied to herself because of the inferiority complex buried in her heart, wouldn't it have happened to Kase-kun? What about such a thing?
Maybe it wasn't about her at all, but she subconsciously placed the responsibility on herself, as if only by taking these responsibilities would she feel less guilty.
"This time... we must let you play happily."
>>>
Just for a while, Beichuan Ai's desktop has already piled up several application forms for changing clubs.She put down the hand resting on her chin, reached into the drawer, took out a blank club application form, and stared blankly at the blank column above.
She didn't have a club before, but later, under the influence of Midorima and Murasakibara, she gradually became interested in basketball, and she also found out that she possessed a talent that was completely different from ordinary people.In the end, at the invitation of Akashi Seijuro, he became the only manager of the basketball team who could enter the game during the game except Momoi Mayzuki.
Akashi Seijuro is a person who is extremely sensitive both emotionally and intellectually, and he is also the first person to discover her thoughts on Kise, but because the feeling of being seen through is too clear, Ai Kitagawa dare not be there. In front of him, there was too much intimacy with Kise, so he was worried that the other party would say, "I don't know the intention, order to retreat".
After all, Akashi at that time was not only the head of the Teiko basketball club, but also the student council president of the entire Teiko Middle School. It can be said that no one could say no to him except the teacher.
And even a teacher would rarely go against Akashi's wishes.Because often before they find themselves obeying Akashi's orders, they fall prey to his irrefutable words and impeccable manners.
The return time is too short, at this moment, Beichuan Ai didn't sort out her thoughts at all. She felt that she still needed time to think, and she needed to figure out the reason why she was reversed by time and space, and the purpose and reason for her coming back here.
"Ai-chan? get out of class is over, why are you still in a daze?"
A slender palm waved in front of Ai Beichuan's eyes, and the coquettish atmosphere of Japanese girls was carried in the coquettish ending.
Bei Chuan Ai raised her head, the bangs on her forehead swayed, obviously not reaching her eyebrows, but it seemed that at that moment, she covered her cold gaze.
"Nozomi? Huh? Is school over yet?" The silver-haired girl looked at the half-empty classroom in surprise. The students left in twos and threes, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.
Echigo Nozomi pulled the schoolbag on her shoulders, leaned against Ai Beichuan, and held her arm while rubbing her arms coquettishly: "Yes, I'm going to participate in club activities. I’m going to report today, and we’ll have dinner together tonight, how about you? What’s your plan?”
"I don't know yet." Ai Beichuan gently placed her hand on the table, covering the blank club application form, and looked at another girl, "Is Li Mei going to participate in club activities too?"
Sarutobi Remi nodded, shaking her head and looking at her fingers that had just been painted with pink nail polish, "Look~ looks good."
"...Maybe your president will like it." Kitagawa Ai said, Sarutobi Remi is from the cosplay club.
"In this case, let's go first, Ai-chan, be careful on your own way~" Echigo Nozomi pouted and reluctantly let go of Kitagawa Ai's arm, and then took Sarutobi Remi.The two waved to Ai Beichuan, and left the classroom of Class B of the first year together.
The noisy teaching building tended to calm down after maintaining the hustle and bustle for several 10 minutes, and the next place that became lively was about to become the club office.
Ai Beichuan, who was sitting in the first row of the classroom, sighed deeply, lying on the table with her blank brain, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Are you supporting the corpse, Beichuan Ai?"
The cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, and the girl lying on the table trembled, and after a few seconds of delay, she raised her head with a resentful face and looked at the speaker: "You will scare the fake ones into real ones." gone."
"Hehe, Shintaro, your friend is so interesting."
A spring-like voice suddenly broke into Ai Beichuan's ears, she quickly shifted her gaze, and looked at the figure that could not be ignored beside Midorima, the boy with short red hair and a pair of pupils similar to hers, with a smile on his face. She looked at her with a slight smile: "I haven't introduced it well in the past few times we met. Hello, I am Akashi Seijuro from Class A, and Shintaro is a friend of the basketball club."
Lying... Groove! ! !
Ai Beichuan almost uttered a foul word, she stared dumbfounded at the gentle boy in front of her, and was instantly taken aback by his gentle tone and friendly attitude.
This is Akashi?
Is this the volcano Akashi frozen in her memory?
Is this the legendary Akashi who suffered repeated attacks of the second disease and could not be cured?
Is this Akashi, the King of Teiko who can't refuse in his heart?
She thinks she desperately needs to wash her eyes with dish soap!
Beichuan Ai covered her chaotic brain with one hand, and a dazzling smirk appeared on her face: "Why, I've been hearing Dun Jiang talking about you, it's the first time we meet, please give me more advice, my name is Beichuan Ai, you can directly Call me Beichuan."
"Beichuan." Akashi Seijuro responded kindly, "You can also call me by my name."
You can call me by my name too...
You can call me by my name too....? !
Is such a gentle, handsome boy really Akashi? !
"Of course, Akashi." Kitagawa Ai smiled.
There was a flash of light in Akashi Seijuro's eyes, and there was a gentle smile on his face, and his tone of voice and attitude were also extraordinarily gentle: "Nice to meet you, Kitagawa."
Shintaro Midorima, who was standing on the side, shook his shoulders unconsciously, looking at the two people who were about the same height, with the same smile, and with the same eyes, he always felt that something was wrong.
He stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and interrupted the friendly atmosphere between the two leaders, "Xiao Ai, I'm going to club activities, so you can go home by yourself, okay?"
Only then did Ai Beichuan move her gaze away from those red pupils that were extremely similar to her but more restrained, and landed on Midorima: "Okay, don't worry, if someone dares to do something, I will let him I can’t take care of myself for the rest of my life.”
As he spoke, he clenched his fist with his left hand and showed a flat smile on his face, but the teeth that seemed to reflect light made Midorima silently swallow the following words: "That's good, since you can do it by yourself, then Akashi and I will go first .”
"Walk slowly~ Be careful not to twist your feet when you play~"
Ai Kitagawa, who was standing at the door of the classroom, waved friendlyly, and returned a bright smile to Akashi who nodded politely to her.It wasn't until the two walked away slowly that her smile disappeared.
In fact, it stands to reason that she had only heard of Akashi in the first grade, but she had heard his name for a long time and hadn't seen him.When I really got to know this person, it was naturally after Midorima became the vice captain.
The Akashi at that time, and the gentle and polite Akashi of today, seem to be different people.
Her impression of Akashi has always been on the words, domineering, strong, undeniable, and extremely deep in the city. Some people told her, and some of them were felt by herself.In fact, she has never tried what the real Akashi is like after stripping away these superficial labels.
There was a sneer on Beichuan Ai's beautiful face, as if she was mocking herself.
In fact, she can't be compared with Akashi at all, right?Even in the eyes of the teacher, Akashi, who is number one in ten thousand years, and Beichuan, who is second in ten thousand years, have always been so similar.But she was not as sincere as Akashi.In many cases, she is disguised to make everyone like her appearance.
Admitting your own hypocrisy is really a kind of thing that hurts your self-esteem.
Shaking her head, Ai Beichuan returned to the classroom, packed her things, and prepared to leave the school.
There were still a few classmates lingering in groups on the campus. Beichuan Ai swayed step by step with her schoolbag on her back, and walked slowly towards the gate. Following the discussions of the people around her, she moved her gaze to the handsome, serious-looking man standing at the gate. on the boys.
Eh--? ?
"Beichuan."
The chestnut-haired boy has a slender body, and a pair of golden thin-rimmed glasses rests on the bridge of his nose, covering his eyes that cannot see through the outline. His expressionless face and the cooling breath he carries are familiar and unbelievable .
Why is Tezuka Kunimitsu here?
Bei Chuanai walked in front of him expressionlessly, looking at him with red eyes in doubt.
Obviously, in his previous life until Tezuka Kunimitsu was in high school, he had never been to her school.They really got to know each other when she was in her third year of high school.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Beichuan Ai, who could only cover up her inner fluctuations with a deadpan face, even her tone seemed reserved.
Tezuka's eyes moved back and forth on the petite girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but slander, was it because his expression was too indifferent to make this girl look like this?Uncle Mingming said that Ai Beichuan is a person who loves to laugh and is very sociable.And the title of 'Big Brother'... Isn't this the period of the Shogunate?
Thinking of his own members who are often frightened by his condensed appearance, Tezuka can't help but slow down his expression, trying to make his tone a little gentle: "Uncle asked me to pick you up from school, I don't know you phone number and class, waiting for you here."
Obviously feeling that the temperature around her body was a little higher, Beichuan Ai's stiff expression softened, she looked at Tezuka in surprise, and asked strangely: "If you don't know my number, you can ask father, if you can't wait for me manage?"
As if he didn't know how to answer this question, Kunimitsu Tezuka pushed his glasses: "I didn't wait long, and you came out."
"..."
Tezuka Kunimitsu is still so honest and cute.
Seeing the smile on Kitagawa Ai's face, Tezuka breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his uncle told him not to let him scare her. Judging from Xiao Ai's ability to recover this natural attitude at this moment, he Shouldn't you have to try Uncle's special wasabi-flavored sashimi when you go back?
"Let's go."
"En." Beichuan Ai put on a slightly reserved and shy smile.She followed Tezuka closely, and asked some boring questions from time to time. The two had always maintained the state of "I'll ask three questions and you answer one", and they were extremely harmonious.
In fact, it wasn't that Tezuka didn't want to ask and answer, but every time he wasn't ready to say anything, Kitagawa Ai would automatically move on to the next topic.Gradually, he also understood that the other party didn't really want to know something, but wanted to use his own way to ease the neither awkward nor awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Tezuka didn't know that what he thought was a good attitude was no different to Kitagawa Ai, because Kitagawa Ai had long been used to Tezuka Kunimitsu's calm and self-controlled attitude, so naturally he didn't care about what was going on in Tezuka's heart. Thought.
Ai Beichuan glanced sideways at Tezuka Toshihide's profile, and sighed softly in her heart.
After all, they are brothers and sisters who have been together day and night for so many years. Apart from Tezuka's parents and grandfather, Beichuan Ai should be the only person who understands him deeply.Moreover, since there is no blood relationship between the two, Bei Chuan Ai has been more careful to figure out his personality and hobbies in a polite and cautious attitude towards this elder brother.
"Brother, don't you need to participate in club activities today? I heard that you are from the tennis club."
Ai Beichuan's question made Tezuka's movements pause, perhaps because he talked too much when talking about his interests: "Just call me brother. After receiving a text message from my mother today, I asked for leave. You How do you know I'm from the tennis club?"
"Uh..." Beichuan Ai, who hadn't expected to change her name for a while, choked for a moment, ignored that sentence and continued, "Because my father mentioned it occasionally."
"En." Tezuka nodded, "Tennis is a good sport."
As he said that, he looked down at the girl beside him, and said that she was petite, which was just a compliment. Although Japanese women are generally not tall, for the Tezuka family, Kitagawa Ai's height is almost like For the enlarged version of the doll, it is not an exaggeration to use the word short.
"You should exercise more to grow taller."
Ai Beichuan tilted her head: "But I don't know how to play tennis. I heard that jumping rope can also grow taller, or do yoga?"
"Teiguang's basketball team is very famous." Tezuka said pointedly, "You may play the women's basketball team and exercise occasionally, that's fine too."
"Why don't you recommend me to join the school's tennis club?" Ai Beichuan asked strangely, "Since your elder brother likes tennis so much, shouldn't you hope that everyone can understand this sport?"
"You are not good at tennis, and your physical fitness is too poor." Tezuka Kunimitsu expressed his thoughts mercilessly, he paused, and added again, "You can just call me brother, don't be so restrained."
Beichuan Ai, who was shot through by 'too poor physical fitness', paused, and then returned to her original state, caressing her chest, looking at Tezuka with fiery red eyes sadly: "You will not be able to find a girlfriend if you do this in the future. To my wife."
"It doesn't matter." Tezuka said very calmly.
In fact, there will be a sister Yizi playing the role of Titanic to hit this iceberg in the future, and Ai Beichuan is not worried at all that her words will become prophecies.
"Mother, Father, I'm back."
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who opened the door first, shouted into the room.Ai Beichuan stood behind Tezuka, blocked by his broad figure, and heard her aunt's gentle voice without seeing anyone.
"Guoguang is back? Did you take Xiaoai over?"
Standing behind Tezuka, Kitagawa Ai who was hiding in the shadows changing her indoor shoes raised her head and said, "I'm here, auntie."
Ayana Tezuka listened to Kitagawa Ai's voice in surprise, and hurriedly pulled away her son who had just stepped on the indoor floor, revealing the girl behind him, with a happy smile on her face immediately: "Oh, little love , looks more and more cute, your hair is so long and straight, it is really enviable, why do I think you are a bit thin? Eat more at dinner time, I remember when you came with Guoxin, you were chubby , why do you feel skinny now? Didn’t Guoxin let you eat well?”
Just after Tezuka Ayana finished her complaint, a slender figure walked out behind her, retorting with a smile: "I let Xiao Ai eat the most nutritious food every day, sister-in-law, I don't agree with you when you say that."
Beichuan Ai, who was still standing in the entrance, was full of entanglements, because Tezuka Ayana never let go of her face, and she seemed to like the feel of it. She could only turn her eyes to her father for help.
Seeing her daughter being shackled but not daring to be dissatisfied, Tezuka Kunukin felt a little comfort in her heart, and before she could speak, she heard a voice.
"Mother, let Beichuan come up first."
Standing aside and watching his mother hold the little cousin still, Tezuka Kunimitsu took the initiative to make a rescue.
Taking advantage of the moment when Ayana Tezuka was surprised by her son's speech, Ai Kitagawa quickly stepped on her slippers, jumped into the room with her schoolbag in her arms, and tried her best to position her balance before almost falling down. hand, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled extraordinarily brightly: "Thank you."
Tezuka Kunimitsu was a little surprised at Tezuka Kunimitsu's attitude. Although he hadn't experienced much of his little nephew's temper, he had heard complaints from his brother and sister-in-law. The feeling of being inaccessible is definitely the perfect existence of the refrigerator in summer, but in winter, it must be a phenomenon where someone sees and who hides.
Tezuka Kunimitsu never took the initiative to contact girls, because in his cognition, there are only two kinds of women, one is mother and the other is female.They also once worried that if Tezuka Kunimitsu maintained the current situation, would he not be able to marry a wife in his thirties?
And now it seems that there is obviously a good candidate in front of us.
This idea only flashed in Tezuka Kunukin's mind for a second, and then he put it aside, because in his heart, his daughter's own wishes were more important than anything else.And Ayana Tezuka began to change her perspective to look at this little niece.
"Xiao Ai, first go upstairs to see Grandpa, he is waiting for you in the study."
Tezuka Kunikaru went up to take Kitagawa Ai's schoolbag, rubbed her hair and said.
"it is good."
Bei Chuanai grinned: "Auntie, Brother, I'll go up first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's response, he ran towards the study in a hurry.His father, Tezuka Guoxin, shook his head helplessly and apologized: "I'm sorry, my little love has been spoiled by me, so frizzy."
Ayana Tezuka shook her head, and said with a smile, "No way, Xiao Ai's character is very real. She laughs when she's happy, and cries when she's unhappy. That's pretty good."
"Hehe, it's good that my sister-in-law doesn't blame me. Guoguang, do you want to have a show?"
"...it is good."
>>>
The second floor and the first floor are like two worlds. If the first floor of Tezuka House resembles the architectural decoration of a modern ordinary family, then the second floor is a combination of various Japanese and ancient styles, except for some electrical appliances. Except for modern products, other aspects are decorated in a Tang style.
There are two study rooms on the second floor, one is dedicated to Grandpa, and the other is shared by Uncle and Guoguang.
Ai Beichuan knocked on the door of one of the doors, and knocked three times rhythmically. After she calmed down, she heard the voice from the room.
There was a soft sound of 'come in', but there was a feeling of calmness and prestige.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you." Ai Beichuan pushed open the door, stood at the door and said politely.
After a long time, there was a sound of chess falling in the empty room, followed by Grandpa Tezuka's deep voice: "Come in and play chess with me."
"it is good."
Turning around and closing the door, Ai Bei Chuan walked slowly to the low table. The slippers touched the ground without making any sound. She approached quietly, but the old man sitting at the table raised his head a second before approaching.
"sit."
Although the old man had gray temples, he seemed to be in good spirits. He nodded to the seat opposite, and after speaking softly, he gradually stopped talking.
Bei Chuan sat down obediently, and focused his gaze on the mess on the table in the middle, thoughtfully.
Grandpa Tezuka's only hobby after retiring from the Metropolitan Police Department is playing Go. Even with his son and grandson, he knows a little bit about Go. At least when he is bored, he can bring his family to the game. some.Even Kitagawa Ai was quite influenced by Tezuka Kuniichi, and he also studied Go a little bit.
The club that Ai Beichuan wanted to join the most before she entered the basketball club was the Go club.
Grandpa Tezuka stretched out his hand to take a white chess piece, and dropped it somewhere on the chessboard, then retracted his hand again, and began to ponder with his chin stuck.
Bei Chuanai glanced at the chess game, and felt that it looked very familiar, so she didn't say much, picked up a black piece, and dropped it on the edge of the white chess.
Grandpa Tezuka's gaze sharpened a bit, and he immediately acted as if he had received a response.
Not to be outdone, Beichuan Ai took a look at the overall situation, then grabbed a chess piece and dropped it somewhere.
The two of you came and went with each other several times, but in the end it was Beichuan Ai who took the initiative to admit defeat.
She didn't give up the chess, because Grandpa Tezuka's eyes were extremely sharp, and he could see the strength of a chess player with just one glance, but she didn't hide her strength, but she still lost to a chess player who had more experience than her by one and a half. A lot of Grandpa Tezuka.
Grandpa Tezuka picked up the pieces on the chessboard, picked up all the white pieces into the box, closed the lid, and then looked up at Ai Beichuan who was still packing the pieces: "Your chess skills have improved, but you are quite restless. , what happened recently?"
pat.
A sunspot fell from the gap between her hands and hit the chessboard. Ai Beichuan picked up the chess piece as if nothing had happened, put it in her hand and stroked it gently: "Something happened, maybe it just needs to be figured out a few times."
Returning to the present era after more than ten years is not a small matter, right?She never wanted to hide her experience, but she also knew that even if she said it, it would not help. It would only increase everyone's worries, and she could not think of a solution at all.And if this kind of thing is said, how many people will believe it?If it was her father, he probably would have thought she was a nightmare.
"If you need help, just speak up."
Grandpa Tezuka touched the chess cover and laughed softly.
"I'm not being polite~" Beichuan Ai smiled, and after picking up all the sunspots, he also put the lid on, "Let's go grandpa, father and the others must be waiting for you."
"I think you are hungry."
Grandpa Tezuka smiled kindly.
The grandpa and grandson went out together and walked towards the kitchen.
The spacious kitchen is brightly lit, and everyone’s faces are somewhat soft. Ayana Tezuka is the most enthusiastic, and she keeps asking Ai Kitagawa to eat more. Bingshan, but the only difference is that when Tezuka Kuniharu meets his wife, no matter the expression, even the eyes are so soft that they seem to be tired of water, so that Ai Beichuan can't adapt to it no matter how many times he watches it.
As for Tezuka Kunika's character, I don't know who he looks like, he is as gentle as water, as if only the word gentle as jade can describe him like this.
Ayana Tezuka also wanted to invite Guoxin and Ai Beichuan to stay overnight, but Ai Beichuan refused.She held on to her spirit, spent a rather muddled day, and also wanted to have her own space, so that she could meditate on what to do.And that warm family seems to be so happy that people can't get involved.
Sitting in the car, Ai Beichuan bid farewell to the Tezuka family, then leaned on the back of the chair, squinting slightly to watch the passing scenery outside the window.
"Xiao Ai, you today..." Tezuka Kunikaru suddenly opened his mouth, but paused on his own, Beichuan Ai turned to look at her father.He drank a small cup of Zhuyeqing today, and his fair face turned a little blush. Although he was not drunk yet, his words had a little impulsiveness that he didn't usually have.
"Father."
Ai Beichuan suddenly interrupted Tezuka Kunukin's words, and after attracting his attention, he hesitated for a while before showing a bleak smile: "Father, do you miss him?"
The hand holding the steering wheel was tightly curled up, so tight that even the veins on the back of the hand jumped out, the face that was still flushed with drunkenness just now was pale and terrifying.
"I really want."
Bei Chuanai withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window again, trying to calm herself down by the inanimate thing.
"Fool, who wouldn't want to."
When getting out of the car, Kitagawa Ai seemed to hear Tezuka Kunikana say this in her ear, her tone was erratic like an auditory hallucination.
But she raised her head, looked at Tezuka Kunika with red eyes, her face was still a little pale, but her slightly pursed lips were finally a little bloody.
There was a dull pain in her heart, but she tried to ignore it.He lowered his head and silently wiped away the tears that did not know when to ooze from the corners of his eyes.Maybe she was stimulated today?Or not only the body has become smaller, but even the thinking has become childish?I was a little unwilling to be aroused by the happy and happy atmosphere of Tezuka's house.
But it's not easy for her father for so many years, why should she blame him for that unavoidable thing?Why bother to provoke him with such a thing?
"I'm sorry, father."
After closing the door, Ai Beichuan leaned against the gate, lowered her head, and apologized to the man standing in the living room.
Tezuka Kunikaru sighed, the voice was particularly obvious in the quiet house.He came over, put his hand on Beichuan Ai's head, and rubbed it gently, "No need to apologize, I understand. Go take a bath, go to bed early, you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Got it, father."
Bei Chuanai returned to her room with her schoolbag in her arms, cleaned herself up, and then lay on the bed stretched out in a daze with the quilt in her arms.
He reached out and turned off the big light in the room, leaving only a small dim light by the bed, the soft light made the room feel a bit warmer.
I can finally think about it.
Bei Chuanai took a deep breath and let it out slowly, staring at the ceiling with bright eyes, in a daze.
Why did she come to this time after more than ten years?
It seems to be back to the time when everything has not started yet, what is this subtle joy, anxiety, and panic all about?
She is not a person who complains, although it is a pity that she was not with the person she likes, but it is undeniable that in the later stage, the other person seemed to have become a cinnabar mole, which fell firmly on her heart .
When I graduated from high school and went to study in Germany, I followed Tezuka Kunimitsu as the assistant manager of the tennis team. Although I didn't understand tennis no matter how long it took, I used my own Talent, adjusted Tezuka's body, let him face the game in the best condition, and won the victory without exception in the end.
Whenever Tezuka Kunimitsu wins the championship, she will fantasize in her heart, whether when she is by Kise's side, can he, let them, let the age of miracles be together again?
She has never thought about the assumption of "if you do it all over again", because she understands the so-called reality, that is, the established facts cannot be changed, and you can only work hard for the future.
So when she really encountered this kind of 'do it all over again' situation, she felt extraordinarily unprepared.
Can she really grasp this kind of opportunity like a pie in the sky, can she make good use of it?
In fact, she thought so much, but in the end, it was not because there was such a possibility that she was shaking herself?
But what if... even if you do it all over again, it still can't be achieved?Even if it was never once, she still couldn't make these important people in her life stop being hurt?
However, she was really not reconciled.
Want to try again?
Ai Beichuan suddenly showed a foolish smile on her face.
What the hell, it's a joke.
She folded her hands across her eyes, blocking all the light outside.
Obviously she never gave up trying to love.
Tears slid down her hair without warning and wet the pillow.
Why is she called 'Love'?Is it because even her father knows that she has longed for this word so much all her life?No matter how she deceived herself, she couldn't escape this word?
How many times did she tell herself to give up, to forget, and to heal with time, but in the inadvertent recollections, those shallow traces became scars that could not be concealed?Her resentment, her reluctance, she couldn't tell anyone, she could only swallow it in her stomach and digest it slowly by herself.
She wiped her eyes, sucked her dry nose, got up and turned off the bedside light, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
Why like so many?Everything will be fine, and you can do whatever you want.
What she should be thinking most now is not how to avoid the previous tragedy?what she regrets
Holding the bread she bought from a small shop, Ai Beichuan slowly climbed up to the balcony on the top floor.I tried to push the door on the balcony, but it was not locked.
There is also a platform on the balcony that can be climbed up. Standing on it, you can almost look at the entire campus.As for whether you can see clearly, that is not an important detail.
Biting the bread bag, Ai Beichuan rubbed her hands, climbed up the stairs, and when she finally stood on the top platform, she looked at the endless Teiko and took a deep breath.If I remember correctly, the first time we met was here, right?
I still remember that at that time, she was just standing on the edge, leaning on the railing to blow the wind, and the boy with a bright smile stopped her in a panic and said - don't be too hard on yourself, classmate!
"Student, don't be too hard on yourself!"
Kise Ryota just took advantage of the noon time to avoid the enthusiastic female students, ran to the balcony to blow some air, and took a rest in the sun. As a result, when he opened the door, he saw a silver man standing on the edge of the balcony. A white-haired girl, she raised her head slightly, her half-closed eyes could be seen from her exposed side face, her pink lips were pursed into a straight line, and the whole person was under the sunlight, with a transparent feeling, as if she was about to die in the next second. Wings sprouted from the back and spread their wings to fly.
At that moment, he didn't know what happened to him, so he yelled that sentence directly at the girl.
Bei Chuan Ai's body froze suddenly, she felt that she must have an auditory hallucination, otherwise how could she have read that sentence directly?Shaking his head, he continued to squint his expression slightly, looking at the clear sky, his mood seemed to have improved a lot.
"That... classmate? Are you okay?"
......
The voice that was unwilling to be ignored rang out again, and Ai Beichuan slowly put down her hand on the railing, and turned her head to look.
"I'm just blowing the air, do you have any ideas?"
Huang Lailiang felt too deeply that she shouldn't talk too much out of curiosity. Looking at the girl on the stage, her eyes obviously suspected that he was a snake maniac!
Pooh!He is not a snake spirit!He is obviously a good boy who cares about the girl who is going to jump off the building, how could he be seen as a snake man? qaq!
"Ahaha, it turns out that classmate, you are blowing the wind, so don't stand in such a dangerous place, you can easily fall down here." Kise Ryota smiled embarrassedly while rubbing his head.
The girl with silver-white long hair looked down at the boy with a bright smile and no embarrassment, "There are railings here."
After finishing speaking, she jumped off the side of the table, turned her back to Huang Lai, hugged her own bread, and ate sparsely.
Feeling disgusted by others, Kise touched his nose uncomfortably, and didn't intend to stay here to annoy others, so he simply turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
"Hey."
The girl behind him suddenly made a cold voice, and Kise Ryo turned around strangely.
"The weather is fine, don't you want to come up and enjoy the sun?"
The girl's voice was not soft at all, unlike ordinary girls' voices, the ending was raised upwards, like a coquettish one.Her voice gave him the feeling that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and there was a trace of stiffness in her tone and sense of language.By coincidence, Kise nodded, climbed up the stage, walked to a place a certain distance away from the girl, and sat directly on the ground.
He slightly closed his golden-brown eyes, feeling the warm breeze and the intense sunlight shining on his body, and suddenly, he felt drowsy.
Beichuan Ai finished the bread in her hands silently, because her posture and movements were too rigid, she almost choked on the bread without water.She blushed stiffly, and beat her chest with her right fist, trying to swallow the flat bread quickly.
"Eh!"
The sudden hiccup made Ai Beichuan cover her mouth as if she was taken aback, and she mechanically turned her head to look at her side.The boy two meters away was lying on his back with his hands behind his head, looking at the slightly raised corners of his mouth, as if he was in a dream.
It turned out to be asleep...
Ai Beichuan stood up slowly, and patted the dust behind her. The restrained feeling finally disappeared like the ebb tide.
This person still likes to appear so abruptly without saying hello.
Her gaze landed on the boy's face, then moved down, and finally settled on his ankle.
【Kise-kun can no longer play basketball. 】
That sentence has been deeply imprinted in her heart and cannot disappear.When she learned from the Internet why Kise-kun had put down the basketball for some reason, she once again got into a dead end.
If...if she hadn't gone abroad with her at the beginning, she had chosen to prove her own life willfully, and hadn't lied and lied to herself because of the inferiority complex buried in her heart, wouldn't it have happened to Kase-kun? What about such a thing?
Maybe it wasn't about her at all, but she subconsciously placed the responsibility on herself, as if only by taking these responsibilities would she feel less guilty.
"This time... we must let you play happily."
>>>
Just for a while, Beichuan Ai's desktop has already piled up several application forms for changing clubs.She put down the hand resting on her chin, reached into the drawer, took out a blank club application form, and stared blankly at the blank column above.
She didn't have a club before, but later, under the influence of Midorima and Murasakibara, she gradually became interested in basketball, and she also found out that she possessed a talent that was completely different from ordinary people.In the end, at the invitation of Akashi Seijuro, he became the only manager of the basketball team who could enter the game during the game except Momoi Mayzuki.
Akashi Seijuro is a person who is extremely sensitive both emotionally and intellectually, and he is also the first person to discover her thoughts on Kise, but because the feeling of being seen through is too clear, Ai Kitagawa dare not be there. In front of him, there was too much intimacy with Kise, so he was worried that the other party would say, "I don't know the intention, order to retreat".
After all, Akashi at that time was not only the head of the Teiko basketball club, but also the student council president of the entire Teiko Middle School. It can be said that no one could say no to him except the teacher.
And even a teacher would rarely go against Akashi's wishes.Because often before they find themselves obeying Akashi's orders, they fall prey to his irrefutable words and impeccable manners.
The return time is too short, at this moment, Beichuan Ai didn't sort out her thoughts at all. She felt that she still needed time to think, and she needed to figure out the reason why she was reversed by time and space, and the purpose and reason for her coming back here.
"Ai-chan? get out of class is over, why are you still in a daze?"
A slender palm waved in front of Ai Beichuan's eyes, and the coquettish atmosphere of Japanese girls was carried in the coquettish ending.
Bei Chuan Ai raised her head, the bangs on her forehead swayed, obviously not reaching her eyebrows, but it seemed that at that moment, she covered her cold gaze.
"Nozomi? Huh? Is school over yet?" The silver-haired girl looked at the half-empty classroom in surprise. The students left in twos and threes, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.
Echigo Nozomi pulled the schoolbag on her shoulders, leaned against Ai Beichuan, and held her arm while rubbing her arms coquettishly: "Yes, I'm going to participate in club activities. I’m going to report today, and we’ll have dinner together tonight, how about you? What’s your plan?”
"I don't know yet." Ai Beichuan gently placed her hand on the table, covering the blank club application form, and looked at another girl, "Is Li Mei going to participate in club activities too?"
Sarutobi Remi nodded, shaking her head and looking at her fingers that had just been painted with pink nail polish, "Look~ looks good."
"...Maybe your president will like it." Kitagawa Ai said, Sarutobi Remi is from the cosplay club.
"In this case, let's go first, Ai-chan, be careful on your own way~" Echigo Nozomi pouted and reluctantly let go of Kitagawa Ai's arm, and then took Sarutobi Remi.The two waved to Ai Beichuan, and left the classroom of Class B of the first year together.
The noisy teaching building tended to calm down after maintaining the hustle and bustle for several 10 minutes, and the next place that became lively was about to become the club office.
Ai Beichuan, who was sitting in the first row of the classroom, sighed deeply, lying on the table with her blank brain, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Are you supporting the corpse, Beichuan Ai?"
The cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, and the girl lying on the table trembled, and after a few seconds of delay, she raised her head with a resentful face and looked at the speaker: "You will scare the fake ones into real ones." gone."
"Hehe, Shintaro, your friend is so interesting."
A spring-like voice suddenly broke into Ai Beichuan's ears, she quickly shifted her gaze, and looked at the figure that could not be ignored beside Midorima, the boy with short red hair and a pair of pupils similar to hers, with a smile on his face. She looked at her with a slight smile: "I haven't introduced it well in the past few times we met. Hello, I am Akashi Seijuro from Class A, and Shintaro is a friend of the basketball club."
Lying... Groove! ! !
Ai Beichuan almost uttered a foul word, she stared dumbfounded at the gentle boy in front of her, and was instantly taken aback by his gentle tone and friendly attitude.
This is Akashi?
Is this the volcano Akashi frozen in her memory?
Is this the legendary Akashi who suffered repeated attacks of the second disease and could not be cured?
Is this Akashi, the King of Teiko who can't refuse in his heart?
She thinks she desperately needs to wash her eyes with dish soap!
Beichuan Ai covered her chaotic brain with one hand, and a dazzling smirk appeared on her face: "Why, I've been hearing Dun Jiang talking about you, it's the first time we meet, please give me more advice, my name is Beichuan Ai, you can directly Call me Beichuan."
"Beichuan." Akashi Seijuro responded kindly, "You can also call me by my name."
You can call me by my name too...
You can call me by my name too....? !
Is such a gentle, handsome boy really Akashi? !
"Of course, Akashi." Kitagawa Ai smiled.
There was a flash of light in Akashi Seijuro's eyes, and there was a gentle smile on his face, and his tone of voice and attitude were also extraordinarily gentle: "Nice to meet you, Kitagawa."
Shintaro Midorima, who was standing on the side, shook his shoulders unconsciously, looking at the two people who were about the same height, with the same smile, and with the same eyes, he always felt that something was wrong.
He stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and interrupted the friendly atmosphere between the two leaders, "Xiao Ai, I'm going to club activities, so you can go home by yourself, okay?"
Only then did Ai Beichuan move her gaze away from those red pupils that were extremely similar to her but more restrained, and landed on Midorima: "Okay, don't worry, if someone dares to do something, I will let him I can’t take care of myself for the rest of my life.”
As he spoke, he clenched his fist with his left hand and showed a flat smile on his face, but the teeth that seemed to reflect light made Midorima silently swallow the following words: "That's good, since you can do it by yourself, then Akashi and I will go first .”
"Walk slowly~ Be careful not to twist your feet when you play~"
Ai Kitagawa, who was standing at the door of the classroom, waved friendlyly, and returned a bright smile to Akashi who nodded politely to her.It wasn't until the two walked away slowly that her smile disappeared.
In fact, it stands to reason that she had only heard of Akashi in the first grade, but she had heard his name for a long time and hadn't seen him.When I really got to know this person, it was naturally after Midorima became the vice captain.
The Akashi at that time, and the gentle and polite Akashi of today, seem to be different people.
Her impression of Akashi has always been on the words, domineering, strong, undeniable, and extremely deep in the city. Some people told her, and some of them were felt by herself.In fact, she has never tried what the real Akashi is like after stripping away these superficial labels.
There was a sneer on Beichuan Ai's beautiful face, as if she was mocking herself.
In fact, she can't be compared with Akashi at all, right?Even in the eyes of the teacher, Akashi, who is number one in ten thousand years, and Beichuan, who is second in ten thousand years, have always been so similar.But she was not as sincere as Akashi.In many cases, she is disguised to make everyone like her appearance.
Admitting your own hypocrisy is really a kind of thing that hurts your self-esteem.
Shaking her head, Ai Beichuan returned to the classroom, packed her things, and prepared to leave the school.
There were still a few classmates lingering in groups on the campus. Beichuan Ai swayed step by step with her schoolbag on her back, and walked slowly towards the gate. Following the discussions of the people around her, she moved her gaze to the handsome, serious-looking man standing at the gate. on the boys.
Eh--? ?
"Beichuan."
The chestnut-haired boy has a slender body, and a pair of golden thin-rimmed glasses rests on the bridge of his nose, covering his eyes that cannot see through the outline. His expressionless face and the cooling breath he carries are familiar and unbelievable .
Why is Tezuka Kunimitsu here?
Bei Chuanai walked in front of him expressionlessly, looking at him with red eyes in doubt.
Obviously, in his previous life until Tezuka Kunimitsu was in high school, he had never been to her school.They really got to know each other when she was in her third year of high school.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Beichuan Ai, who could only cover up her inner fluctuations with a deadpan face, even her tone seemed reserved.
Tezuka's eyes moved back and forth on the petite girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but slander, was it because his expression was too indifferent to make this girl look like this?Uncle Mingming said that Ai Beichuan is a person who loves to laugh and is very sociable.And the title of 'Big Brother'... Isn't this the period of the Shogunate?
Thinking of his own members who are often frightened by his condensed appearance, Tezuka can't help but slow down his expression, trying to make his tone a little gentle: "Uncle asked me to pick you up from school, I don't know you phone number and class, waiting for you here."
Obviously feeling that the temperature around her body was a little higher, Beichuan Ai's stiff expression softened, she looked at Tezuka in surprise, and asked strangely: "If you don't know my number, you can ask father, if you can't wait for me manage?"
As if he didn't know how to answer this question, Kunimitsu Tezuka pushed his glasses: "I didn't wait long, and you came out."
"..."
Tezuka Kunimitsu is still so honest and cute.
Seeing the smile on Kitagawa Ai's face, Tezuka breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his uncle told him not to let him scare her. Judging from Xiao Ai's ability to recover this natural attitude at this moment, he Shouldn't you have to try Uncle's special wasabi-flavored sashimi when you go back?
"Let's go."
"En." Beichuan Ai put on a slightly reserved and shy smile.She followed Tezuka closely, and asked some boring questions from time to time. The two had always maintained the state of "I'll ask three questions and you answer one", and they were extremely harmonious.
In fact, it wasn't that Tezuka didn't want to ask and answer, but every time he wasn't ready to say anything, Kitagawa Ai would automatically move on to the next topic.Gradually, he also understood that the other party didn't really want to know something, but wanted to use his own way to ease the neither awkward nor awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Tezuka didn't know that what he thought was a good attitude was no different to Kitagawa Ai, because Kitagawa Ai had long been used to Tezuka Kunimitsu's calm and self-controlled attitude, so naturally he didn't care about what was going on in Tezuka's heart. Thought.
Ai Beichuan glanced sideways at Tezuka Toshihide's profile, and sighed softly in her heart.
After all, they are brothers and sisters who have been together day and night for so many years. Apart from Tezuka's parents and grandfather, Beichuan Ai should be the only person who understands him deeply.Moreover, since there is no blood relationship between the two, Bei Chuan Ai has been more careful to figure out his personality and hobbies in a polite and cautious attitude towards this elder brother.
"Brother, don't you need to participate in club activities today? I heard that you are from the tennis club."
Ai Beichuan's question made Tezuka's movements pause, perhaps because he talked too much when talking about his interests: "Just call me brother. After receiving a text message from my mother today, I asked for leave. You How do you know I'm from the tennis club?"
"Uh..." Beichuan Ai, who hadn't expected to change her name for a while, choked for a moment, ignored that sentence and continued, "Because my father mentioned it occasionally."
"En." Tezuka nodded, "Tennis is a good sport."
As he said that, he looked down at the girl beside him, and said that she was petite, which was just a compliment. Although Japanese women are generally not tall, for the Tezuka family, Kitagawa Ai's height is almost like For the enlarged version of the doll, it is not an exaggeration to use the word short.
"You should exercise more to grow taller."
Ai Beichuan tilted her head: "But I don't know how to play tennis. I heard that jumping rope can also grow taller, or do yoga?"
"Teiguang's basketball team is very famous." Tezuka said pointedly, "You may play the women's basketball team and exercise occasionally, that's fine too."
"Why don't you recommend me to join the school's tennis club?" Ai Beichuan asked strangely, "Since your elder brother likes tennis so much, shouldn't you hope that everyone can understand this sport?"
"You are not good at tennis, and your physical fitness is too poor." Tezuka Kunimitsu expressed his thoughts mercilessly, he paused, and added again, "You can just call me brother, don't be so restrained."
Beichuan Ai, who was shot through by 'too poor physical fitness', paused, and then returned to her original state, caressing her chest, looking at Tezuka with fiery red eyes sadly: "You will not be able to find a girlfriend if you do this in the future. To my wife."
"It doesn't matter." Tezuka said very calmly.
In fact, there will be a sister Yizi playing the role of Titanic to hit this iceberg in the future, and Ai Beichuan is not worried at all that her words will become prophecies.
"Mother, Father, I'm back."
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who opened the door first, shouted into the room.Ai Beichuan stood behind Tezuka, blocked by his broad figure, and heard her aunt's gentle voice without seeing anyone.
"Guoguang is back? Did you take Xiaoai over?"
Standing behind Tezuka, Kitagawa Ai who was hiding in the shadows changing her indoor shoes raised her head and said, "I'm here, auntie."
Ayana Tezuka listened to Kitagawa Ai's voice in surprise, and hurriedly pulled away her son who had just stepped on the indoor floor, revealing the girl behind him, with a happy smile on her face immediately: "Oh, little love , looks more and more cute, your hair is so long and straight, it is really enviable, why do I think you are a bit thin? Eat more at dinner time, I remember when you came with Guoxin, you were chubby , why do you feel skinny now? Didn’t Guoxin let you eat well?”
Just after Tezuka Ayana finished her complaint, a slender figure walked out behind her, retorting with a smile: "I let Xiao Ai eat the most nutritious food every day, sister-in-law, I don't agree with you when you say that."
Beichuan Ai, who was still standing in the entrance, was full of entanglements, because Tezuka Ayana never let go of her face, and she seemed to like the feel of it. She could only turn her eyes to her father for help.
Seeing her daughter being shackled but not daring to be dissatisfied, Tezuka Kunukin felt a little comfort in her heart, and before she could speak, she heard a voice.
"Mother, let Beichuan come up first."
Standing aside and watching his mother hold the little cousin still, Tezuka Kunimitsu took the initiative to make a rescue.
Taking advantage of the moment when Ayana Tezuka was surprised by her son's speech, Ai Kitagawa quickly stepped on her slippers, jumped into the room with her schoolbag in her arms, and tried her best to position her balance before almost falling down. hand, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled extraordinarily brightly: "Thank you."
Tezuka Kunimitsu was a little surprised at Tezuka Kunimitsu's attitude. Although he hadn't experienced much of his little nephew's temper, he had heard complaints from his brother and sister-in-law. The feeling of being inaccessible is definitely the perfect existence of the refrigerator in summer, but in winter, it must be a phenomenon where someone sees and who hides.
Tezuka Kunimitsu never took the initiative to contact girls, because in his cognition, there are only two kinds of women, one is mother and the other is female.They also once worried that if Tezuka Kunimitsu maintained the current situation, would he not be able to marry a wife in his thirties?
And now it seems that there is obviously a good candidate in front of us.
This idea only flashed in Tezuka Kunukin's mind for a second, and then he put it aside, because in his heart, his daughter's own wishes were more important than anything else.And Ayana Tezuka began to change her perspective to look at this little niece.
"Xiao Ai, first go upstairs to see Grandpa, he is waiting for you in the study."
Tezuka Kunikaru went up to take Kitagawa Ai's schoolbag, rubbed her hair and said.
"it is good."
Bei Chuanai grinned: "Auntie, Brother, I'll go up first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's response, he ran towards the study in a hurry.His father, Tezuka Guoxin, shook his head helplessly and apologized: "I'm sorry, my little love has been spoiled by me, so frizzy."
Ayana Tezuka shook her head, and said with a smile, "No way, Xiao Ai's character is very real. She laughs when she's happy, and cries when she's unhappy. That's pretty good."
"Hehe, it's good that my sister-in-law doesn't blame me. Guoguang, do you want to have a show?"
"...it is good."
>>>
The second floor and the first floor are like two worlds. If the first floor of Tezuka House resembles the architectural decoration of a modern ordinary family, then the second floor is a combination of various Japanese and ancient styles, except for some electrical appliances. Except for modern products, other aspects are decorated in a Tang style.
There are two study rooms on the second floor, one is dedicated to Grandpa, and the other is shared by Uncle and Guoguang.
Ai Beichuan knocked on the door of one of the doors, and knocked three times rhythmically. After she calmed down, she heard the voice from the room.
There was a soft sound of 'come in', but there was a feeling of calmness and prestige.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you." Ai Beichuan pushed open the door, stood at the door and said politely.
After a long time, there was a sound of chess falling in the empty room, followed by Grandpa Tezuka's deep voice: "Come in and play chess with me."
"it is good."
Turning around and closing the door, Ai Bei Chuan walked slowly to the low table. The slippers touched the ground without making any sound. She approached quietly, but the old man sitting at the table raised his head a second before approaching.
"sit."
Although the old man had gray temples, he seemed to be in good spirits. He nodded to the seat opposite, and after speaking softly, he gradually stopped talking.
Bei Chuan sat down obediently, and focused his gaze on the mess on the table in the middle, thoughtfully.
Grandpa Tezuka's only hobby after retiring from the Metropolitan Police Department is playing Go. Even with his son and grandson, he knows a little bit about Go. At least when he is bored, he can bring his family to the game. some.Even Kitagawa Ai was quite influenced by Tezuka Kuniichi, and he also studied Go a little bit.
The club that Ai Beichuan wanted to join the most before she entered the basketball club was the Go club.
Grandpa Tezuka stretched out his hand to take a white chess piece, and dropped it somewhere on the chessboard, then retracted his hand again, and began to ponder with his chin stuck.
Bei Chuanai glanced at the chess game, and felt that it looked very familiar, so she didn't say much, picked up a black piece, and dropped it on the edge of the white chess.
Grandpa Tezuka's gaze sharpened a bit, and he immediately acted as if he had received a response.
Not to be outdone, Beichuan Ai took a look at the overall situation, then grabbed a chess piece and dropped it somewhere.
The two of you came and went with each other several times, but in the end it was Beichuan Ai who took the initiative to admit defeat.
She didn't give up the chess, because Grandpa Tezuka's eyes were extremely sharp, and he could see the strength of a chess player with just one glance, but she didn't hide her strength, but she still lost to a chess player who had more experience than her by one and a half. A lot of Grandpa Tezuka.
Grandpa Tezuka picked up the pieces on the chessboard, picked up all the white pieces into the box, closed the lid, and then looked up at Ai Beichuan who was still packing the pieces: "Your chess skills have improved, but you are quite restless. , what happened recently?"
pat.
A sunspot fell from the gap between her hands and hit the chessboard. Ai Beichuan picked up the chess piece as if nothing had happened, put it in her hand and stroked it gently: "Something happened, maybe it just needs to be figured out a few times."
Returning to the present era after more than ten years is not a small matter, right?She never wanted to hide her experience, but she also knew that even if she said it, it would not help. It would only increase everyone's worries, and she could not think of a solution at all.And if this kind of thing is said, how many people will believe it?If it was her father, he probably would have thought she was a nightmare.
"If you need help, just speak up."
Grandpa Tezuka touched the chess cover and laughed softly.
"I'm not being polite~" Beichuan Ai smiled, and after picking up all the sunspots, he also put the lid on, "Let's go grandpa, father and the others must be waiting for you."
"I think you are hungry."
Grandpa Tezuka smiled kindly.
The grandpa and grandson went out together and walked towards the kitchen.
The spacious kitchen is brightly lit, and everyone’s faces are somewhat soft. Ayana Tezuka is the most enthusiastic, and she keeps asking Ai Kitagawa to eat more. Bingshan, but the only difference is that when Tezuka Kuniharu meets his wife, no matter the expression, even the eyes are so soft that they seem to be tired of water, so that Ai Beichuan can't adapt to it no matter how many times he watches it.
As for Tezuka Kunika's character, I don't know who he looks like, he is as gentle as water, as if only the word gentle as jade can describe him like this.
Ayana Tezuka also wanted to invite Guoxin and Ai Beichuan to stay overnight, but Ai Beichuan refused.She held on to her spirit, spent a rather muddled day, and also wanted to have her own space, so that she could meditate on what to do.And that warm family seems to be so happy that people can't get involved.
Sitting in the car, Ai Beichuan bid farewell to the Tezuka family, then leaned on the back of the chair, squinting slightly to watch the passing scenery outside the window.
"Xiao Ai, you today..." Tezuka Kunikaru suddenly opened his mouth, but paused on his own, Beichuan Ai turned to look at her father.He drank a small cup of Zhuyeqing today, and his fair face turned a little blush. Although he was not drunk yet, his words had a little impulsiveness that he didn't usually have.
"Father."
Ai Beichuan suddenly interrupted Tezuka Kunukin's words, and after attracting his attention, he hesitated for a while before showing a bleak smile: "Father, do you miss him?"
The hand holding the steering wheel was tightly curled up, so tight that even the veins on the back of the hand jumped out, the face that was still flushed with drunkenness just now was pale and terrifying.
"I really want."
Bei Chuanai withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window again, trying to calm herself down by the inanimate thing.
"Fool, who wouldn't want to."
When getting out of the car, Kitagawa Ai seemed to hear Tezuka Kunikana say this in her ear, her tone was erratic like an auditory hallucination.
But she raised her head, looked at Tezuka Kunika with red eyes, her face was still a little pale, but her slightly pursed lips were finally a little bloody.
There was a dull pain in her heart, but she tried to ignore it.He lowered his head and silently wiped away the tears that did not know when to ooze from the corners of his eyes.Maybe she was stimulated today?Or not only the body has become smaller, but even the thinking has become childish?I was a little unwilling to be aroused by the happy and happy atmosphere of Tezuka's house.
But it's not easy for her father for so many years, why should she blame him for that unavoidable thing?Why bother to provoke him with such a thing?
"I'm sorry, father."
After closing the door, Ai Beichuan leaned against the gate, lowered her head, and apologized to the man standing in the living room.
Tezuka Kunikaru sighed, the voice was particularly obvious in the quiet house.He came over, put his hand on Beichuan Ai's head, and rubbed it gently, "No need to apologize, I understand. Go take a bath, go to bed early, you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Got it, father."
Bei Chuanai returned to her room with her schoolbag in her arms, cleaned herself up, and then lay on the bed stretched out in a daze with the quilt in her arms.
He reached out and turned off the big light in the room, leaving only a small dim light by the bed, the soft light made the room feel a bit warmer.
I can finally think about it.
Bei Chuanai took a deep breath and let it out slowly, staring at the ceiling with bright eyes, in a daze.
Why did she come to this time after more than ten years?
It seems to be back to the time when everything has not started yet, what is this subtle joy, anxiety, and panic all about?
She is not a person who complains, although it is a pity that she was not with the person she likes, but it is undeniable that in the later stage, the other person seemed to have become a cinnabar mole, which fell firmly on her heart .
When I graduated from high school and went to study in Germany, I followed Tezuka Kunimitsu as the assistant manager of the tennis team. Although I didn't understand tennis no matter how long it took, I used my own Talent, adjusted Tezuka's body, let him face the game in the best condition, and won the victory without exception in the end.
Whenever Tezuka Kunimitsu wins the championship, she will fantasize in her heart, whether when she is by Kise's side, can he, let them, let the age of miracles be together again?
She has never thought about the assumption of "if you do it all over again", because she understands the so-called reality, that is, the established facts cannot be changed, and you can only work hard for the future.
So when she really encountered this kind of 'do it all over again' situation, she felt extraordinarily unprepared.
Can she really grasp this kind of opportunity like a pie in the sky, can she make good use of it?
In fact, she thought so much, but in the end, it was not because there was such a possibility that she was shaking herself?
But what if... even if you do it all over again, it still can't be achieved?Even if it was never once, she still couldn't make these important people in her life stop being hurt?
However, she was really not reconciled.
Want to try again?
Ai Beichuan suddenly showed a foolish smile on her face.
What the hell, it's a joke.
She folded her hands across her eyes, blocking all the light outside.
Obviously she never gave up trying to love.
Tears slid down her hair without warning and wet the pillow.
Why is she called 'Love'?Is it because even her father knows that she has longed for this word so much all her life?No matter how she deceived herself, she couldn't escape this word?
How many times did she tell herself to give up, to forget, and to heal with time, but in the inadvertent recollections, those shallow traces became scars that could not be concealed?Her resentment, her reluctance, she couldn't tell anyone, she could only swallow it in her stomach and digest it slowly by herself.
She wiped her eyes, sucked her dry nose, got up and turned off the bedside light, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
Why like so many?Everything will be fine, and you can do whatever you want.
What she should be thinking most now is not how to avoid the previous tragedy?what she regrets
