[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

No matter what class the banquet is, as long as a group of parents get together, it will eventually become a competition for the children of each family to judge each other.

"Good evening... Yes, my father is Takihira Tsukasa. Itachi-kun is my senior at the University of Tokyo... Yes, I will enter the Faculty of Economics next April."

"Where, I can't be called a 'genius'. Itachi-kun is the real genius."

"You flatter me."

Away from the crowd and the laughter, Xia Yue narrowly blinked at Itachi, laughing that he was regarded as a mascot and was placed there for others to observe.He glanced back indifferently, which probably meant: You are similar.

Takihira didn't ask to see Itachi, it was just an excuse to get away.As soon as the two entered the social circle of the elders, they were taken in by their respective parents, and they implicitly showed off how outstanding their children were, and they were mentioned together from time to time because they were the same age and the same school.In front of the elders, Xia Yue went to meet Fuyue and Meiqin specially, saluted gracefully, not to mention she was a lady.

Fuyue looked up, but the satisfaction in his eyes almost overflowed, and Miqin was also very happy, pulling her to praise her beautiful dress, and set a time to see the exhibition together next time.

On the Taki family's side, after listening to the report of what happened just now, everyone smiled and looked at the two children secretly.For a while, I thought she was Takihira's only daughter. Although she was a foreigner, she went to Tokyo University and had a bright future. At the same time, she thought about the Uchiha family's business, and Itachi's talent. If it is true, as the rumors say, bring these two children together It's also a good deal to come here.

Everyone laughs more and gets closer to each other.The person involved obviously didn't say anything, but the two sides were very affectionate, and for a while they looked like future in-laws.

Instead, Takiraji called Xia Yue over in private, and said, "Don't worry about what father and elder brother think. Your father and I were self-willed back then, doing whatever we wanted, and marrying whomever we wanted. Xia Yue, you Just choose the way you like to live and ignore their calculations."

Xia Yue nodded with a smile.

Looking at the elegant and beautiful daughter, Ping Si suddenly realized that the young child at that time had really grown up in the blink of an eye.He was originally a sentimental character, but at a moment of emotion, his eyes turned red, his loving father's heart was overflowing with love, and there was nowhere to flow, so it turned into being critical of his daughter's rumored boyfriend.

"That Uchiha Itachi... How about it, is he alright?" Heiji thought for a while, and then made his own evaluation, "It looks a bit too cold, and it's not interesting to talk in a calm manner. Xia Yue, you should know, talk In love, you still need to find someone who can be happy together and feel that every day is very interesting."

His daughter laughed out loud, and suddenly her expression was much more lively than before, as if a flower in a painting had come to life, adding vitality to the already beautiful image, which made people realize that this was her real smile.

"Dad, don't worry, I am very happy with Itachi, very happy." Xia Yue kept laughing, every syllable was sweet like honey, "He looks cold, but he is actually a gentle and considerate person. There are so many thoughts in my mind, and it is very interesting. You are not such a rigid person, Dad!"

Ping Si was a little jealous, and muttered, "You can't see it."

Xia Yue rolled her eyes and smiled mysteriously, "Dad, wait and see, I will prove it to you."

After finishing speaking, she left lightly again, and floated to the side of the boy from the Uchiha family.She didn't speak yet, just stood there, and the boy's eyes seemed to be glued to her body; his expression seemed normal, but his eyes were shining.

No matter how the daughter wants to prove it, just by looking at this look, Heiji already understands.Those eyes are like flowers that break through the ice in the snow, they cannot be deceived.

He couldn't help but laugh.Heiji was married once and had many relationships, but what suddenly emerged at this moment was the moment when he danced with his first love many years ago.Thinking of the banquet at that time today, it is like a yellowed old photo covered with many old and outdated atmospheres, but when he walked through the crowd and stood in front of Ah Qing, did he have the same obsessive appearance? ?

"You are really... young." He muttered to himself, and drank the red wine in the glass in one go.

In the luxurious banquet hall, the young people survived the speech of the head of the Taki family and slipped quietly to the side.

The fountain washes delicate portraits, and the hard stone is carved with soft curves, like a fairy in the forest who is really holding a vase.The night wind blows from outside the door, a silent call for freedom.

Xia Yue was holding a snow-white down jacket, and Itachi was holding a black cashmere coat.Holding hands, they looked back at the golden lights in the hall, the endless night outside, and the neon lights of tall buildings in the distance.

"Itachi, I'm not interested in family power."

"Xia Yue, I'm not interested in inheriting the family business."

"I won't take Japanese citizenship, and I don't intend to force myself to fit in."

"I will only choose the career I want, and I will only like the people I want."

"I originally planned to live alone and freely."

"It never occurred to me in the past that there would be an extra person."

The two did not communicate, but they understood the meaning conveyed by the other side in an incomparable tacit understanding.The temperature of the palm is a bridge, connecting each other's body temperature, and also communicating the mind and soul.

"Ah, speaking of this." Xia Yue tilted her head and smiled, revealing a hint of cunning, "That girl named Izumi Kawamoto just now was confessing to Itachi, right?"

Itachi stared at her and said, "I told Kawamoto-san that I already have someone I like. That person is very good, and I like her very much."

Xia Yue smiled.She suddenly remembered that Izumo Yukino and Kawamoto Izumi seemed to be the people she met in Omotesando before. At that time, Izumo Yukino also ridiculed her as "a commoner who wears Uniqlo".Also, Izumo Yukino's performance just now was not for Izumi's sake at all, but for that tricky young lady who also likes Itachi.That look was so obvious.

But are these things important?not at all.

What matters is the here and now.What matters is the person holding her hand.There are many things happening every second in the world, and there will be a lot of love and hatred. There are very few things that human beings can grasp, so we can't waste time on unimportant things.

Cherish every moment with your significant other.

Xia Yue looked up at the wall clock in the lobby.08:30 p.m.

"Itachi, do you know which is the biggest Ferris wheel in Tokyo?" She said without waiting for his answer, "It's the Odaiba Ferris wheel. It runs until ten o'clock at night at the latest."

Itachi still looked at her quietly.The wind that sneaked in shook his long black hair, but could not move the focused light in his dark eyes.

"I'm going to ride the Odaiba Ferris Wheel!" Xia Yue said, "Itachi, let's go ride the Ferris Wheel!"

"it is good."

Without hesitation, without hesitation.They put on their coats, opened the side door of the hotel, and ran out quickly under the surprised eyes of the doorman.

"Take a taxi?"

"Take a taxi!"

Christmas Eve, commercial night, neon lights are everywhere in the modern city, the billboards are dazzlingly bright, and the crowd is like ants crawling.The taxi is running in the city, and the car is very quiet, so quiet that you can hear the sound of blood rushing excitedly, and the heart "pounding".

thump, thump—

It's almost ten o'clock.

They got out of the taxi and continued to run hand in hand.

"Excuse me...! Excuse me, is the Ferris wheel still running?"

Itachi didn't care about the disheveled hair, grabbed the staff at the ticket office and asked.This may be the first time in his life that he has been so eager, losing all his composure and poise, just for a trifle that couldn't be smaller.

Xia Yue panted beside him.She was right next to him, her breath rising and falling like a reed in the wind.Obviously nothing happened, and the surroundings are peaceful and peaceful, but he suddenly had a rush of blood for no reason on this cold winter night, as if he was a soldier running in the chaos of war, and beside him was the last person in the world who needed his protection. people.He will overcome obstacles for her and kill all enemies who want to hurt her.

The staff looked at them in surprise.The first time I saw such a couple wearing high-end gowns and ran straight out, one couldn't help but wonder if they had just eloped from a wedding banquet; it was some unlucky bride or groom who lost their marriage partner at the last moment and let the other party hold The hand of the one you really love, rushing into the bustling and vast night of Tokyo?

"The Ferris wheel has the last bus. Excuse me, do the two guests need tickets?"

"want!"

The two spoke in unison and looked at each other and smiled.

The tall Ferris wheel is decorated with colorful lights.Last run on Christmas Eve, luckily not crowded.They got into the car and watched Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree getting closer.

The world seems to be far away, and the sound is filtered out, leaving only the distant ten-color streamer and the sound of each other's breathing in the narrow space.Tokyo Tower stands in the distance, like a glowing orange-red exquisite model, and like a bright road, connecting the lights of the world below with the vast and deep dark sky.

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."

"Itachi, have you ever heard of that urban romantic legend?" Xia Yue breathed into her hand, looked sideways at the beautiful night view of Tokyo, not looking at the people beside her, "confess when the Ferris wheel is at its highest point , if successful, the two will be together for the rest of their lives."

Itachi looked through the window and found that it was about to rise to the top soon.

Confession...

He suddenly tensed up.The running just now failed to make his heart beat fast, but now when he was calm and still, it was like a bow was stretched in his body, the bow string was stretched to the maximum, making his heart beat faster, and he even held his breath.

The ferris wheel rises slowly.The sky is approaching, and the world is moving away.

He tried his best to suck in a big mouthful of air, and then let it out slowly.Oxygen fills the blood, and only then can the pounding heartbeat be slightly relieved.

Prosperity flickered outside the window, Itachi sat in this small world, but only looked at the girl beside him.She was looking out the window, and turned her head to look at him quickly, her eyes were shining, with a soft smile, like innocent hope.

He gently took her hand and closed it in his palm.Her fingers were slightly cold, and she shrank into his palm obediently.

It's the apex.

"I like you."

"I like you."

His voice overlapped with hers.

Itachi froze.Xia Yue looked back at him, her eyes seemed to twinkle like stars.

"Double confession is double insurance." She looked at him with bright eyes like that, her cheeks flushed, "Okay, we have made an appointment, we want to be together forever."

She thought for a while, and suddenly became a little uncertain: "Are we together?"

Kind of goofy and cute.Itachi couldn't help laughing, all the tension and apprehension just now disappeared; he had never been so determined in his heart, and he had never been so gentle.

"Together." He held her face in his hands and whispered, "We've been together for a long time."

And, will always be together.

He kissed her.

"...There is lipstick."

"Just wipe it off."

Itachi held her hand tightly until he left the Ferris wheel.They looked up to watch the lights of the Ferris wheel go out, while the Tokyo Tower in the distance was still shining.

"Itachi, go home." Xia Yue said.

Her lover nodded and let go of her hand.

"Let's go, I'll carry you."

"Hey?"

Itachi smiled, a little helplessly, but his eyes were so gentle that they almost melted.

"Xia Yue is wearing high heels. She must have been in pain from running around just now." He rubbed her head, "Sorry, I should have noticed this earlier."

"It's not Itachi's responsibility, what are you apologizing for..."

Xia Yue's face was hot when he saw it, but her heart was like a flower, blooming continuously one by one.She hugged his neck and leaned against his back, watching the overlapping shadows of the two slowly move forward under the light, while the shadows of the surrounding trees slowly moved back, like slow motion in a literary movie, frame by frame .

"Will I be heavy?"

"Well, it's heavy."

"...!"

"In my heart, it's very important."

"...Itachi! You've turned bad!"

He seemed to be smiling, a little narrow, but still very gentle.

Xia Yue tilted her head to look at him, then buried her face in his neck.His hair brushed against her skin, it was indeed soft, and there was a little ocean-like refreshing aroma.

"Itachi, have you ever heard the joke between Party A and Party B? Party A asked Party B to make a poster, and it had to be black, or colorful black."

"what is that?"

"Yeah, Party B complained about 'what's that'. But...now I know."

"Ok?"

"It's like the neon lights falling into Itachi's eyes."

He walked steadily and smiled steadily.Even silence is a reassuring silence.

"Or, there is another Chinese poem, which is also very suitable for Itachi. 'The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light'."

"Is it bright..."

"It's fitting, isn't it?"

"Well, I found it. The light is on my back."

Xia Yue lay on his back, shrugging with a smile.

"What, shouldn't it be a lofty ideal. 'While the sword of the law, hold the scale of justice'—it should be so imposing!"

Itachi stopped suddenly.His voice was soft and indifferent, but there seemed to be some kind of strange and deep emotion hidden behind it; just like this endless night sky.

"I don't need to search for my ideal." He said, "However, Xia Yue is... even if I search hard, I may not necessarily meet someone."

She leaned against his neck, closed her eyes, and held him tighter.The winter night was cold, but by this person's side, no matter how cold the wind was, it couldn't quench the warmth in my heart.

"My eyes are black too," she said. "I'm holding my light."

The sound of music came faintly in the distance, which was somewhat familiar.Xia Yue thought for a while, and remembered that it was a song from "Love Actually", called "Whereever You Will Go".

WayuphighordownlowWhether high or low

I'llgowhereeveryouwillgo I'll follow in your footsteps

Andmaybe, I'll findout

Awaytomakeitbacksomeday

To watch you, to guide you to watch you, to guide you

Through the darkest of your days

...

She hummed along softly.

"My mother likes that movie and the songs in it very much. In order to understand my mother when I was a child, I learned to sing it over and over again." Xia Yue said, "Now that I think about it, maybe my mother also misses the time spent with my father. Bar."

"Xia Yue."

"Ah."

"We'll always be together."

She kissed her lover's ear.

"Well, I trust you," she said, "and I trust myself."

"By the way... Itachi, speaking of it, I seem to have dreamed of you. When we first met, I thought you were very familiar."

"Dream?"

He took a step.

"Well. Although I don't remember the specific content, I must have dreamed it many times... Itachi seems to be a knight, or a samurai? The kind who can hold a knife, and his skills are very powerful. I really want to catch up with you, but you are better than me You are so powerful and you run so fast. I couldn’t catch up. I was so anxious that I kept crying and chasing while crying. Then you fought with someone, blood was everywhere, but you were still laughing. I thought you were going to die, I was out of breath from crying, and once I woke up from crying, and I was still crying when I woke up."

"Later, later... Then you didn't seem to be dead. I hid on the sidelines and watched, feeling very relieved, but I didn't know why I didn't dare to look for you. Then... there was no more."

Xia Yue was a little embarrassed, and said: "Hey, I probably watched too many martial arts TV series when I was young. Does it sound strange? Dreaming that my future lover died...ah no, no, the dream is reversed, Itachi will definitely live forever. Peace and peace! I am having strange dreams!"

"Well. Don't worry, Xia Yue."

He was always so dependable, and he felt very secure.

She was a little sleepy, so she yawned and rubbed her lover's soft hair.

"Actually, I also dreamed about Xia Yue."

He seemed to be describing a trivial matter, indifferently.

"Huh? Really?" Xia Yue felt relieved immediately, and asked enthusiastically, "What kind of dream is it?"

"Yes..." Itachi hesitated for a moment, and his voice seemed a little stiff for a moment, "It's about a dream that I really like Xia Yue."

"Pfft—is it actually the content of an innocent novel? Itachi, you are so cute." Xia Yue was happy, and kissed her lover's cheek again, "That must be a prophetic dream. I dreamed that I liked Itachi very much, and Itachi dreamed that it was very cute. Like me, so we are destined to be together. This is called a match made in heaven."

He laughed.But I don't know why, the mood is not very high.

"Well, we are destined to be together." He said it very preciously, "I will always be good to Xia Yue, and I will not let Xia Yue suffer any harm."

won't hurt her.It won't be like in the dream, sending a cold blade into her chest, and letting her cry alone in a place where she can't see, turning her head but only willing to face everything with a smile, and laughing until the moment of losing her life.Smiling so hard made him feel more pain than crying.

It was just a dream.Fortunately it was just a dream.

His lover lay on his back, a warm mass, this is the real existence.

But she went on to say: "Some people say that people will dream about what happened in another universe. In this way, in another universe, Itachi and I are also lovers. Thinking about it this way makes me feel very happy."

happy.

Itachi gently closed his eyes to calm down the bitterness brought by the dream.

"Me too." He said in a low voice, "It's really good to meet Xia Yue."

If there was another universe...

With or without another universe.

He will go on with this person forever.

"Itachi, shall we go to Kansai during the winter vacation? I want to go to Universal Studios in Osaka."

"Okay, from tomorrow until school starts, this period is fine."

"Dating tomorrow? I have prepared a Christmas present for you, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet."

"Okay, where do you want to go?"

"In order to prevent love from dragging down our studies, I suggest that we go to the library for self-study."

"it is good."

No matter what, he will say yes.

"Don't you guess what gift I gave you?"

"Hmm...a pen?"

"You guessed right right away... Guess which brand it is?"

"Think about it... No, I can't guess."

Sure enough, she became very happy and said that she would know when he got it.Then I started planning where to go in Kansai. I said I wanted to go to Kyoto University and Arashiyama to see the red leaves, but I was worried that it would be too cold.

He listened with a smile, deciding not to tell her that he had come across the Montblanc pen case in her apartment.

Dreams belong to dreams, and the trajectory of reality can only be written by himself.

farewell. Another University.

The author has something to say: A little angel asked the meaning of AU before, which means anotheruniversity, another universe, parallel world.

There are a few points in the side story that deliberately correspond to the original novel. In addition to interpersonal relationships, there are: Fuyue's dedication to family honor→care about the family business; 】; Itachi is not limited to the family → unwilling to obey the arrangement of the family, and will not inherit the club, but chooses law, and will continue to work hard for fairness and justice and maintaining order; Namikaze Minato was born as a commoner and finally became Hokage, so it is the Internet Upstarts.

Inahe Xinxiang and Izumo Tenma are Itachi’s ninja teammates in the official novel. The former likes Itachi, while the latter is jealous and has a bad relationship (the mission died before the relationship improved); Quan needless to say, the official cp (although a little I don’t have any sense of cp, really, what kind of emotional lines are there in juvenile manga), she is a good girl.

Ning Ci's age adjustment is because I want Ning Tian cp.

As for the dreams of Itachi and Xia Yue, there is a saying that people will dream of themselves in parallel worlds. It just shows that the main line is true, and this pure and sweet modern age is also true, hehe.

So it's not completely love at first sight, there is a parallel world bonus.
